But when I did it fast it turned out to be a fuel cell

#

I got super confused

#

Then tested to see if time affects it.

#

And yea turns out the longer I waited it changed into an alien head

pearl eagle
#

Damn

#

This game seriously has a lot of small interesting quirks

#

I thought the items were pre-determined by the scene director when it placed the chests, but there

#

idk man

wooden ridge
#

I thought so too, but I guess they have some sort of complex coding that goes into this

bitter nymph
#

Hey guys where’s the prismatic trials button?

primal swallow
#

do you have mods installed?

bitter nymph
#

I do

primal swallow
#

some of them prevent you from doing prismatic trials, not entirely sure which ones tho

bitter nymph
#

Shite

#

Okay thanks man

wooden ridge
#

No cheating GWpaboaAobaFreeze

cyan stratus
#

@Kolfyrッ#5970 i explain the key literally the 1st line of the description 🙃

slim lintel
#

who the heck reads descriptions lmao

cyan stratus
#

people who have a question on why something was done

#

wait so now i have to beat a 2:09

#

i really dont feel like it though

#

@pearl eagle i just watched ur stage 1 and wtf are you doing

pearl eagle
#

Walking

cyan stratus
#

i mean

#

it's all wrong

pearl eagle
#

Yeah

cyan stratus
#

also do you think crowbar preon is viable if i manage to shoot the preon so that jellyfish spawns on top of it

pearl eagle
#

No clue, how much extra damage do you get out of the crowbar?

#

In percent

cyan stratus
#

anywhere between 5% and 200%

#

idk numbers

pearl eagle
#

alrighty then, test it and see if it works I guess

cyan stratus
#

ok thanks for testing it for me

#

tell me what you get

pearl eagle
#

Give me like 3 hours

cyan stratus
#

uhhhhhh

pearl eagle
#

😃

#

I'm in a normal run rn, not doing prismatics

cyan stratus
#

imagine playing normal runs lmao

pearl eagle
#

Ik, i've got like 13 red whips

#

Going back to prismatics are going to be weird

slim lintel
#

I hate how sometimes theres like 3 wisps and other times theres about 50 wisps and 22 lemurians all eating your ass and getting succd

cyan stratus
#

im like 90% sure ur fighting the pot wrong

slim lintel
#

why

#

the only real way to beat the pot is to not play the game at all

cyan stratus
#

just bring its hp to 0

slim lintel
#

lol funny early 2000's WoW joke lmao

cyan stratus
#

listen mate im tryna do you a favor to tell you ur playing the game wrong and ur time sucks because ur not fighting the pot correctly

#

if ur fighting it anything like @pearl eagle is fighting it

#

because i had to close the video after seeing that

slim lintel
#

how the hell else would you do it, if your answer is "mult" idc

pearl eagle
#

I'm assuming there's a way to stop him from going tall mode and then make him go tall mode before he goes low mode

cyan stratus
#

have you watched my video

pearl eagle
#

Lol no, filthy MUL-T vid

slim lintel
#

arti has an elegance mult will never achieve

pearl eagle
#

Wait, you literally just walk in circles to stop him from becoming the long boi?

cyan stratus
#

wow imagine all the time you would've saved if you just watched my video 🙃

#

not like i kept the strat secret

pearl eagle
#

Well give me a few min, I'll try to beat my time using the secret tech Cabbage withheld from us

slim lintel
#

doesnt work with arti

cyan stratus
#

i'll do it with arti right now

pearl eagle
#

It works

#

Just have to not die

slim lintel
#

yeah thats why it doesnt work

cyan stratus
pearl eagle
#

The problem for Arti are the wisps, they give such a knockback and takes out way too much health

slim lintel
#

also I just did the same exact thing as in the vid and lived but it didnt work

#

yeah that shit aint working at all

#

probably have to be a certain distance away that flamesprinkler doesnt allow

#

wait I think I see what I was missing

cyan stratus
#

a brain?

pearl eagle
#

That shaves off a good amount of time and can def. work

#

It's just, Arti tends to die a lot more easily compared to MUL-T

slim lintel
#

nope nvm idk howtf you did that voodoo magic

#

pots acting completely different

cyan stratus
#

i've had mult runs where i take 0 damage until pot goes up

slim lintel
#

I think mult ram does something with its turning or delays it to let you do that

pearl eagle
#

Nah, you just have to stick really close as Arti it seems like

#

Need to sort of time nano bomb so you can sprint while he does the bomb attack so you don't die

#

Only problem is the 100 wisps with 100% accuracy

slim lintel
#

no I dont have a problem dying anymore its just his ai is flipping around way quicker than in cabbages video

pearl eagle
#

How do you not have a problem with dying? I'm getting sniped like crazy

slim lintel
#

he keeps starting to spin clockwise like in cabbages video and then just flips 180 degrees around counter clock and instantly stands up. Trying this is making it stand up quicker than I've ever seen before

#

cant even finish flamethrower before he's up in the air

pearl eagle
#

idk what you're doing wrong then. I'm able to get him to keep turning just fine by sticking relatively close and walking around him

#

I'm just unable to survive 99% of the attempts because the bombs do too much damage and wisps are mean

slim lintel
#

yeahno screw this. Unless they severely overhaul duneshitters I'm never touchign another trial with them again

cyan stratus
#

you keep saying that but you always end up coming back (^:

slim lintel
#

nah I mean it this time, I only tried on this one because I didnt know about your strat and the adds were low hp shit you can finish off quickly, but now that I know your trick and the fact its a 1% chance for arti to do it just...naw

pearl eagle
#

I'm getting it to be more and more reproducible rn, so it probably isn't 99% chance of death

#

Just around like 70, maybe 75%

slim lintel
#

getting a good bison group is a better chance than that, and at least with bison you can salvage it somewhat instead of dying

cyan stratus
#

better odds than my 16% crit preon

pearl eagle
#

Yeah, no, I'm steadily climbing toward that 95% success rate

#

Just so much stuff that can go wrong

#

A single wisp or lemur hits you and knocks you back so he goes up, you get hit with too many bombs and you die, you get blocked by a wisp or lemur he goes up

#

Really wanna make this work, but it's seriously inconsistant

slim lintel
#

cabbage gets free wins on dunestrider trials now

cyan stratus
#

im 2nd place though my guy

#

is 2 lens + 2 scythes 40%? or does it not stack

pearl eagle
#

only the first scythe gives 5%

cyan stratus
#

oh

pearl eagle
#

And there's probably some formula for lens stacking, but two of them probably gives around 20%

#

Also, the only reason my run is fast is because I hit a 0.36% chance of hitting both flamethrower crits

cyan stratus
#

i have a 0% chance of hitting a flamethrower crit

pearl eagle
#

You're playing MUL-T

slim lintel
#

a single preon crit which you have a 16%~ chance for is way more damage than 2 crit flamethrowers

cyan stratus
#

is there any way to set crit rate to 100% in files or something for test purposes

#

i'm currentlly routing but it';s just not hitting

slim lintel
#

cirCop thats illegal

cyan stratus
#

for test purpose

hushed fox
#

why pick up crit glasses when you just rng crit every time thinkopera

cyan stratus
#

lol i just upload the run as legit and say i got lucky

pearl eagle
#

Hey that's what I did!

#

😉

cyan stratus
#

!

hushed fox
#

1%? more like 100% amirite

cyan stratus
#

if 2 glasses and a scythe is 26%

#

i've just not crit preon about 12 times in a row

wooden ridge
#

this trial is big gay with merc

cyan stratus
#

tbh @pearl eagle ur runs are sus af

#

i wouldn't be surprised if you had a crit toggle button 🙃

#

remember the crit nade + preon on the jellyfish you did to beat my time

pearl eagle
#

Yeah, I accidentally hit my crit button too early

#

ah yikes, my fingers slipped again

wooden ridge
#

this trial is actually retarded

cyan stratus
#

capital d colon

pearl eagle
#

😉

#

But for reals a question, my dude. You ever notice that after a nade crit you tend to get some extra crits on your nailgun afterwards? I swear to god you hit like 6 crits with it afterwards

cyan stratus
#

wait

#

you know the initial nailgun burst is either all crit or no crit right

#

or is that some secret knowledge

pearl eagle
#

pffft

#

Of course, I knew that

#

didn't know that

cyan stratus
#

so on those 1% trials you thought you just hit 6 crits in a row

#

small brain

pearl eagle
#

Big brain, arti main

wooden ridge
#

i cant even kill teh fucking dunestrider for somereason

pearl eagle
#

It's a dunestrider

wooden ridge
#

i know

#

but for some reason its like

#

doing more damage then they usually do

slim lintel
#

they always do that much damage, they're broke af

cyan stratus
#

not as broke as me lmao gotem

slim lintel
#

they're like prepatch blazing titans that can go invincible for 20 seconds

cyan stratus
#

if you think dunestrider is bad just wait until dunestrider 2 coming next update

slim lintel
#

Dunestrider v2.0: Rapidly moves from tall mode to suck mode repeatedly, like a teabagging motion. Because screw you

cyan stratus
#

i just crit preon't like 20 times in a row why does this game hate me

wooden ridge
#

This trial is poop why bother

cyan stratus
#

bc someone beat my time

#

lol shut up i'll have a very low 2:0x when i get crit preon

wooden ridge
#

this is the exact reason why this trial is poop

cyan stratus
#

i think i've crit preon't about 30 times in a row now and it's kinda stupid

white frost
#

the formula for lensmakers is simply 0.1 x lensmakers

#

full critformula from the top of my head is something like

#

0.01 + (levelsBeyondFirst * critPerLevel) + (hasScythes? * 0.05) + (hasPredator? * 0.05) + 0.1 * lensmakers

#

critPerLevel is 0 for any survivors currently in the game

#

oh there's also a 1.0 * ocularBuff or whatever

slim lintel
#

huh, wonder if they're planning a passive on a char for gaining crit per level or if it was an original design concept they ditched once they realized it would make glasses basically useless

runic forge
#

crit per level is probably bandits gimmick

white frost
#

There's also a movespeed per level that's zero for everyone

slim lintel
#

give it to arti

cyan stratus
#

well i've been playing this trial on and off the entire day and got crit preon twice out of idk how many attempts

#

this is just unfun, i'll see you guys next trial

slim lintel
#

Yeah bunny just went ahead and fully defeated this trial with dumb luck

cyan stratus
#

seems to do that every trial so idk if he just has a bunch of time to play or just is really lucky

slim lintel
#

obvs crit trigger switch cirSmug

timid osprey
#

rookie question, how do i access the prismatic trial?

wooden ridge
#

By clicking the prismatic trial tab

digital arrow
#

rookie question, what is the prismatic trial?

timid osprey
#

i cant seem to find that option

wooden ridge
#

Disable your mods

#

Since it’s leaderboard based they don’t want people cheating

timid osprey
#

oh i see, thanks

pearl eagle
#

Usually I do play the trials way too much, but this trial I got really lucky within like two hours of total playtime in it 🙃

#

Kinda sucks for me as well as I've got no incentive to keep playing and get better at the dunestrider fight and stuff

cyan stratus
#

i wont be trying any critpreon trials from now on, just unfun

#

also probably trying much less in general until/if things improve

slim lintel
#

🦀 prismatic trials is dead 🦀

cyan stratus
#

🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀

cyan stratus
#

🦀

#

🦀 @pearl eagle WR is gone 🦀

pearl eagle
#

Ah yiikes

#

I guess I have to play MUL-T for a bit I guess

#

How long is it until the next trial?

cyan stratus
#

3 hours

#

which is about 2 crit preons so make them count

pearl eagle
#

You do the same route as in your run with vid?

cyan stratus
#

no

#

i was waiting for the follow-up question

#

but i'll just tell you

#

grab crowbar instead of energy drink, that's all i do different

pearl eagle
#

So you get the one shot crit I assume

cyan stratus
#

wasn't quite 1shot

#

it works in a very precise way

wooden ridge
#

3 hours till hopefully decent trial

pearl eagle
#

What do you mean precise way?

cyan stratus
pearl eagle
#

Crowbar procs at 90% and above right?

cyan stratus
#

yea

pearl eagle
#

If the jelly has 2732hp, then you can't have the preon hit the jelly before it explodes

cyan stratus
#

btw the last 2 values happen simultaniously

pearl eagle
#

Or am I missing smthing

cyan stratus
#

so you can see where the crowbar stopped

#

jellyfish has 4095

pearl eagle
#

I'm confused now

#

I don't understand ur cal

cyan stratus
#

remember more hp with time

#

what dont you understand

pearl eagle
#

Your document

cyan stratus
#

what about it

pearl eagle
#

I don't understand what the values represent I guess

cyan stratus
#

dmg

pearl eagle
#

Well no shit, but in what circumstances

#

If you say with and without crowbar I'm gonna scream

cyan stratus
#

as in how much the hp decreases by

#

it's with and without crit

pearl eagle
#

screams

cyan stratus
#

it's just numbers

#

you can see the 50% increase from crit

#

if aoe brings it <90%hp then the explosion doesn't get crowbar

#

you can see where crowbar stops proccing

#

i could upload the video but the only way i could bear this trial is by blasting music so there wouldn't be any audio

pearl eagle
#

idc about if the video contains music or not bro

cyan stratus
#

i hold my channel to a high standard of quality

pearl eagle
#

Give me vid plz, thanx

cyan stratus
#

updated value 3213 crit+crowbar

#

big damage

#

hp before impact 3773

#

would be hard to improve but s1 was 1sec slow and i didnt expect jellyfish to die that fast so i had to run to the tp a bit

pearl eagle
#

So the preon can hit the jelly 2 times before landing otherwise it won't get the crowbar dmg increase

#

Since the 3 hits the same time as preon explosion hits

#

Am I getting this right?

cyan stratus
#

i mean if you check the math that doesn't make sense

#

i was shooting while preon aoe was going

#

otherwise you're just wasting time by not shooting, but if you shoot too much its hp goes below 90%

pearl eagle
#

I'm giving you 10 min to upload

#

Cuz I ain't understanding what you're trying to tell me

#

Except keep boss above 90% before the preon lands

cyan stratus
#

it's literally just that

#

and if i wanted to upload it would take much longer than 10min

#

also is that a threat

pearl eagle
#

😠

cyan stratus
#

just maximize how much dmg you can do while still keeping boss above 90%

#

gogogo you have 2:30

pearl eagle
#

Ah yikes

#

Wait, did you ever think about grabbing AP bullets?

cyan stratus
#

yea before i turned my brain on

pearl eagle
#

Wha

cyan stratus
#

ur basically 1shotting boss anyways

pearl eagle
#

Honestly, hardest part about the MUL-T run is the fucking crystal jumps. Nade seems to have no explosion 90% of the time 😠

cyan stratus
#

only reason my crystal jump worked is because the nade crit

#

i didnt get the hp low enough

pearl eagle
#

Yeah, the amount of times I got thrown off the map in the previous trial because something like that happened is insane

cyan stratus
#

the s1 jellyfish one?

pearl eagle
#

Yeah

cyan stratus
#

i somehow got a pb where i fell off the map twice

pearl eagle
#

What?

cyan stratus
#

doesn't actually lose that much time

pearl eagle
#

I mean, it's wasn't much, but it's still a time loss

cyan stratus
#

yea thats why i didnt fall off the map in my pb video

pearl eagle
#

lol

#

Also, just got a crit on my second preon attempt, but didn't get crowbar buff because I shot it with my railgun

cyan stratus
#

nice job

pearl eagle
#

Thanks

#

At what time do you activate s2 tp?

#

To summon boss

cyan stratus
#

idk somewhere between 1:00 and 3:00 i dont remember the exact time

#

i know 1:18 s1 pause was my pb

pearl eagle
#

Doubt I'll be able to beat you btw, cuz there's a whole lot of stuff I've gotta learn to get consistent as MUL-T this trial

#

The damn crystal jump being one of them

cyan stratus
#

while you were enjoying your wr I was studying the mult MULT MULT MULT MULT

#

had to get it under 8mb to fit it through discord so there's a bit of compression

#

shouldn't be noticeable though

pearl eagle
#

Ah, jesus my eyes!

#

You could upload it and put it on unlisted yk

cyan stratus
#

exporting a 6.65mb file is faster than exporting and uploading 300mb

#

it also contains my latest strats so you should be grateful

pearl eagle
#

Sure I'm grateful, but my eyes disagree with me

wooden ridge
#

Wtf how did you kill blazing that fast

cyan stratus
#

i really didn't want it to be alive so i killed it through the power of my mind

pearl eagle
#

Crowbar

cyan stratus
#

yea and that

wooden ridge
#

This is how I feel

prisma crest
#

That should be the new hurricane difficulty

wooden ridge
#

If there was a new difficulty

#

It should be named

#

Cyclone

zenith plinth
#

Yeah, and then after Cyclone is: Tsunami

prisma crest
#

Reeee tsunami isn't related to weather

zenith plinth
#

oh right.

pearl eagle
#

Land tsunami

#

Perfect

wooden ridge
zenith plinth
#

What about for the hardest difficulty to be: Perfect storm

it's a weather related term

pearl eagle
#

I like it

zenith plinth
#

Yeah, Starting Gold would be 5, Scaling Difficulty would be 1.75 minutes, Teleporter Duration is probably like 300s

#

The reason why I say this is, well "Perfect storm" is used for "worst-case scenarios"

slim lintel
#

please no longer tele duration, its just so much dead time after you kill the boss

#

that alone has unmotivated me from playing the base game

wooden ridge
#

Use the mod that gets rid of tele charge

#

Makes the game 100x better

#

Jus have to kill the boss then leave

slim lintel
#

Dont wanna mod the game yet

zenith plinth
#

Whats the best difficulty to play on

slim lintel
#

monsoon is the funnest imo except the tele time

pearl eagle
#

Damn, fucked up a wr pace run with crit by not getting the crowbar buff

cyan stratus
#

good

pearl eagle
#

Still got 15 mins

cyan stratus
#

that's pretty slow, i got 2 minutes and 2 seconds

pearl eagle
#

🙃

cyan stratus
#

turn that smile upside down

pearl eagle
#

FeelsBadMan, last run was wr but no crit 😦

#

Well, I'm gonna make food. gl with the routing

cyan stratus
#

thanks, you'll need it

#

nice, my favorite map

pearl eagle
#

Key close to spawn. We might have two stage 2s to explore

#

If it works like it did in the previous one...

cyan stratus
#

no, s2 is the simplest stage we've had so far

#

you'll see what i mean lmao

pearl eagle
#

I see

#

Damn you beat me by 30sec dude

cyan stratus
#

ez every time

wooden ridge
#

What’s new trial?

cyan stratus
#

fun as always

wooden ridge
pearl eagle
#

Snow map s1 with dunestrider boss and preon+backup mag on the way to tp

#

One of the first 2 maps you can get as the first map in a normal playthrough on s2 with a tri tip dagger on the way to tp with vagrant as boss

#

Might not be vagrant because I got that at 9 min

cyan stratus
#

tri tip -> tougher times without key

pearl eagle
#

Ah yeah, the key right

cyan stratus
#

are you grabbing hud?

#

i found a really funny strat wihout hud so im sad it exists

wooden ridge
#

Where’s newt at?

cyan stratus
#

idk

pearl eagle
#

Didnt see hud

cyan stratus
#

feelsblindman

pearl eagle
#

I'm eating food, don't hassle me man

cyan stratus
#

tbh the strat is super dumb but idk what strat to use

wooden ridge
#

I wanna scout this trial out looks kinda fun

cyan stratus
#

i think arti gets 1:30

wooden ridge
#

Any guesses on a Mercenary ?

cyan stratus
#

sub 8

wooden ridge
#

Bruh

pearl eagle
#

Wait, Arti gets 1:30? How? MUL-T gets guaranteed crit preon

cyan stratus
#

i didnt use crit preon lmao

wooden ridge
#

how do you get it gaurentted?

cyan stratus
#

hud

wooden ridge
#

oh yea

cyan stratus
#

also wtf is that spelling of guaranteed

wooden ridge
#

too lazy

slim lintel
#

so new trial is good or bad?

cyan stratus
#

it's funny

pearl eagle
#

I'd say decent

#

We might have to kill a dunestrider without preon though

cyan stratus
#

lol the funny thing is

#

i've gotten jellyfish to 200hp before it gets the hp boost

#

with a bunch of crit luck it's possible to skip that

pearl eagle
#

Oh yeah, that 1% crit luck grind

cyan stratus
#

oh wait wtf

#

i just accidentally killed this run

#

gg pack it up boys

pearl eagle
#

Did you crit preon?

cyan stratus
#

nah

#

so if you wanna grind that you can beat me

#

or idk how arti does this trial, if you actually do well then yea

#

i just managed to skip vagrant hp

pearl eagle
#

I don't think Arti is gonna be able to get sub 2 tbh

wooden ridge
#

this trial is poop

#

big ol poop

#

the biggest of poops

pearl eagle
#

This trial is interesting tbh, but it seems MUL-T is faster because he somehow manages to kill the jellfish before difficulty spike

wooden ridge
#

if any one can find a better route for merc call me

cyan stratus
#

video up

wooden ridge
#

damn very slick

#

probably the only prismatic where crowd funder is viable

cyan stratus
#

i picked it up for the meme but suddenly it killed an entire dunestrider and i was like wtf

pearl eagle
#

wtf, the god damn crowdfunder?

cyan stratus
#

lmao

pearl eagle
#

But you also get the fucking preon with the crowdfunder

wooden ridge
#

crowdfunder revealing its power

pearl eagle
#

I'm pretty darn annoyed rn

cyan stratus
#

you can do the same

#

by playing mult MULT MULT

pearl eagle
#

😠

wooden ridge
#

fuck u

#

jk apple ily

cyan stratus
#

im not apple

wooden ridge
#

cabbaple

cyan stratus
#

also i just figured out how my run can be even faster

#

but i dont feel like it

wooden ridge
#

do it

cyan stratus
#

crowdfunder starts off shooting slow but picks up speed

wooden ridge
#

or ur an auto drizzlet

cyan stratus
#

that's me

#

@pearl eagle boutta ruin my entire career if you decide to play mult

wooden ridge
#

i tried crit with merc but it was slower

cyan stratus
#

crit ??

#

oh wait how are you gonna kill 3 crystals as merc lmao

wooden ridge
#

i used preon crow bar which got me the 3;21

#

the crystals first stage was eh

#

but i was able to slope launch with m2 properly

cyan stratus
#

well since i already got wr 2 hours into the trial maybe i'll give merc a shot

pearl eagle
#

Fuck me sub 2 is possible with the crowdfunder with Arti

cyan stratus
#

wait instead of preon lmao

#

is crowdfunder legit better than preon

wooden ridge
#

yes cabbage route me a merc run and then ill beat it

pearl eagle
#

Dunestrider dies so fucking fast jesus

cyan stratus
#

did i figure something out

wooden ridge
#

wait

#

merc crowdfunder HMMMM

#

hol on brb

#

nop its dog shit

cyan stratus
#

nah im chilling till someone beats my time

#

i deserve a break

pearl eagle
#

Lmao, I'm able to beat your time with Arti

#

Just gotta be fast with crystals and not die

cyan stratus
#

next trial im gonna not share my strats and laugh

pearl eagle
#

@cyan stratus You mind telling me where the ocular hud is?

cyan stratus
#

^^^^ ->>> (staircase) vvvv

white frost
#

oh crowdfunder draw money a lot slower than I thought

#

I'm pretty sure it fires like 15 shots per second, so it actually represent way over half your DPS in that fight

#

I'm gonna pick that thing up way more often

cyan stratus
#

yea

pearl eagle
#

I can't find the hud

#

I guess I'm retarded

cyan stratus
#

is your monitor on?

white frost
#

jesus, how many crowdfunders have we passed up in the trials

cyan stratus
#

2

#

both out of the way

white frost
#

oh hm

#

I guess it's not that much of a loss then

#

but that thing had a bigger effect than most items would've

cyan stratus
#

@pearl eagle lemme watch i tell you where

wooden ridge
#

Dude it’s literally on the metal platforms under the cliff

cyan stratus
#

he's not the brightest ok

pearl eagle
#

Following directions that are 15s delayed ain't very easy okay

#

Using my eyes is also quite difficult

cyan stratus
#

btw you only use hud once

#

and its gonna be too long and vagrant gets extra hp

pearl eagle
#

Yeah, it's too out of the way

cyan stratus
#

there's also the backup

slim lintel
#

another massive disappointment of a trial

#

this must be how my parents feel

wooden ridge
#

It’s not that bad

#

My only complaint is the placement of cystals on s1

slim lintel
#

it has a vagrant a dunestrider and a preon it can go burn in a toilet

wooden ridge
#

And the boss being a shitstrider

pearl eagle
#

Preon isn't the fastest anyways and dunestrider isn't a problem whatsoever with the crowdfunder

#

Literally all you have to do is not get hit by three tar balls

#

As Arti atleast

wooden ridge
#

Yea well merc is like the retarded baby of prismatic trials

pearl eagle
#

Well I'm not gonna argue with that

pearl eagle
#

Well the titan event spawns an overloading titan to the right of the rock on stage 2 if anybody also gets it

cyan stratus
#

did you beat my time with it

pearl eagle
#

Lol no, titan felt like had more hp than vagrant got him to 1/4 of his health then I died to a shit ton of lasers

cyan stratus
#

wow thanks guys this community is the best

pearl eagle
#

@cyan stratus

cyan stratus
#

wow how are you so slow

#

do you know how to sprint? it makes you move faster

pearl eagle
#

If only there was one less sucidal wisp on s1 🙃

pearl eagle
#

@cyan stratus You seem a bit far down man, you learn how to sprint yet?

cyan stratus
#

wow not even 1st place lmao

pearl eagle
#

I guess huntress is a bit faster 🤔

cyan stratus
#

meh i beat you tomorrow

white frost
#

it's not that often we get legit sub 2 trials I think

#

Aleks, do you use Preon or Crowdfunder?

cyan stratus
#

ofc he uses my strat (^:

pearl eagle
#

Crowdfunder, it's just so much faster it's insane

cyan stratus
#

did you like your own video

pearl eagle
#

You don't have any proof

cyan stratus
#

ok well that video is completely hardcapped

#

and mine was kinda scuffed

#

so i already win by default because i can improve

pearl eagle
#

Listen man, I can easily go for the 1% flamethrower crit

#

So don't beat me, because I will beat you

#

With my whopping 1% crits

cyan stratus
#

do it now before it's too late

pearl eagle
#

Don't feel like crushing your dreams

#

But all in all, you will probably be able to beat me a lot more easily than I beat you. Arti dies way too quickly on s2 during the vagrant fight because of all the god damn trash mobs

#

And I'm not gonna grind no 1% because I have an exam in a couple of days and I should probably be studying rather than grinding for crits in a pointless run in a pointless video game

white frost
#

completely hardcapped? did the crit every hit?

pearl eagle
#

Didn't crit at all actually, but grinding them 1%s ain't fun

#

Also pro tip for any aspiring Arti people that want to do the route I used, I recommend taping a dot on your monitor to create a better crosshair for destroying the crystal up top

#

Makes it a lot easier to know where your nano bomb is gonna land

white frost
#

I know all the good goldeneye players do that

pearl eagle
#

Yeah, it's used by a lot of those guys

white frost
#

I kinda just use the sprint crosshair because you wanna be sprinting anyway

pearl eagle
#

Not in this trial

#

That's why it's so painful to do without the dot

cyan stratus
#

legit did 1 run before bed lmao good night

pearl eagle
#

🙃

cyan stratus
pearl eagle
#

Well, I guess I have to play MUL-T as well tomorrow

#

Grats on the runs

cyan stratus
#

there we go

#

that time is still scuffed

pearl eagle
#

How scuffed are we talking? Like 2 sec scuffed or 0.5 second scuffed?

cyan stratus
#

~2sec

pearl eagle
#

Will try tomorrow I guess

cyan stratus
#

s1 pause pb around mid 1:06 while i think i got a high 1:08 for that

#

plus i still dont know how to grab tp after jellyfish

pearl eagle
#

Just stand close to it man

#

Works like a charm

cyan stratus
pearl eagle
#

Jesus bro

cyan stratus
#

lol im done for tonight

#

that was pretty perfect imo

#

just screwed up the end

slim lintel
#

imagine a char being so bad they cant even get the crosshair right and you have to tape something to your monitor just to aim

#

think I figured out how to get the 1:01 or faster consistent s1 tho

#

nvm def figured out to get 1:01 or faster every time

#

well f this trial. consistently can get 1:00 pauses now but you only get level 1 s2 so it ruins everything

frank juniper
#

how are you firing crowdfunder at the same time as primary fire..

#

I can only get one or the other

#

nvm the crowdfunder just takes a million years to start..

#

how do you not get killed by the dunestrider the fuck man

#

I get like 5 wisps and yaks fucking me in the ass by the time he spawns

slim lintel
#

What char are you playing?

frank juniper
#

same as in the video

#

I can't kill the first boss

#

at all

#

I get him to half health and he just pukes 100 bombs on me and I die instantly

#

and sometimes there are like 5 mobs attacking me at the same time

slim lintel
#

stay max range of flamesprinkler and strafe+jump you should be fine. Sometimes a wisp will screw you over but that shouldnt be happening every time

frank juniper
#

ok

#

I figured out the dunestrider but the vagrant is impossible

#

you get him to 1 hp and he explodes

#

god I guess I picked an absolute worst time to try out these trial things for the first time

#

this is ridiculously hard

slim lintel
#

Just be glad you didnt play the last one

#

or one of the bison herd ones

frank juniper
#

dude

#

I literally cant kill the vagrant

#

there is no way to kill him before he explodes

#

unless you get lucky with a million crits

#

I am doing nothing different from the videos

#

you literally need rng

#

and the worst thing is if you try to hide from the explosion

#

he regens shield and its over

slim lintel
#

I'm having trouble with the vagrant as well rn, I think I figured it out though lemme test

white frost
#

He shouldn't have time to regen if you set him on fire

#

Or are you playing shopping cart?

slim lintel
#

omg

#

I got flamethrower crit on vagrant and duneshitter and forgot to turn on crowdfunder during vagrant fight

frank juniper
#

I am using mult

#

there are 2 things happening in this fight

#

I either get him to 1 hp before he explodes and it kills me

#

or he has way too much health before he explodes because I didn't get any crits

#

I am doing nothing different each run

#

but I yield different results

slim lintel
#

1:43 GET REKT

#

GOT ANOTHER FLAMETHROWER CRIT BAYBEE

white frost
#

It bet with the director changing bosses might be different now

slim lintel
#

@cyan stratus

wooden ridge
#

Lmao

frank juniper
#

I just updated what does this mean

wooden ridge
#

You just yeeted on all of them

frank juniper
#

is it harder now?

wooden ridge
#

Updated?

slim lintel
#

Should be exactly the same

wooden ridge
#

It’s just bug fixes

slim lintel
#

unless that "stutter issue picking up items" somehow saves more than a few frames of time

wooden ridge
#

That can help but it never happened to me so

ripe lantern
#

Single monster type is now stage rng dependant. So also in a prismatic trial

white frost
#

Oh great

wooden ridge
#

What?

#

I don’t understand

white frost
#

Used to be you had a 1/50 chance of getting a world event

wooden ridge
#

Harb im big dumb can you put that in dumb terms

white frost
#

Now it'll depend on the trial, so if one person gets it everyone will

tacit musk
#

do trials still have the issue of cheaters or is that fixed by now

slim lintel
#

well thats a good thing right? means its consistent

ripe lantern
#

cheaters is unfixable

wooden ridge
#

Well

white frost
#

Yes, it's exactly what my suggestion asked for

wooden ridge
#

We need a fierce anti cheat

tacit musk
#

its just so easy to edit game files

slim lintel
#

oh that was a good "oh great" then I thought it was a sarcastic one lol

ripe lantern
#

Did bosses sometimes drop different items?

white frost
#

It also means maybe you can change it picking up a rusty key or entering blue portal, not sure about the key

wooden ridge
#

Key changes cabbage confirmed last trial

#

Last trial it made the s2 have a preon

frank juniper
#

the trial is different

ripe lantern
#

There's a bunch of changes that make a lot more things depend on stage rng

frank juniper
#

it fucking changed guys

white frost
#

That's fantastic

frank juniper
#

the second part is a different seed

wooden ridge
#

Blue portal this trial dosnt do much sadly

frank juniper
#

RIP

wooden ridge
#

Wait

white frost
#

What other things, Harb?

frank juniper
#

it's harder

wooden ridge
#

The update changed the trial

white frost
#

Tell me more, tell the more, did they fix all the crits?

wooden ridge
#

Wtfffff

ripe lantern
#

Boss credits are now decided by stage rng to which director they are passed on

wooden ridge
#

Thank god I got my merc time yesterday

slim lintel
#

what changed?

frank juniper
#

it spawns you up in the tunnel part and crystals are in a different spot and teleporter as well

slim lintel
#

frik

frank juniper
#

teleporter is now in the bottom middle

slim lintel
#

all that work I did to get that time

white frost
#

I figured the whole trial might change from this

frank juniper
#

that time will be impossible to get now

#

good job getting WR LOL

slim lintel
#

LMAO

wooden ridge
#

@slim lintel technically it could be harder so your time is absolute

white frost
#

Ultimately a small loss, we can expect future patches to do this as well

frank juniper
#

god dammit

slim lintel
#

Get frik'd cabbage and bunny, now you cant even try to beat me MUAHAHAHA

frank juniper
#

I just want to unlock the item for beating 1 trial

wooden ridge
#

@slim lintel YOU NOW HAVE AN UNBEATABLE TIME BAHAHA

frank juniper
#

and this happens

white frost
#

It happened that other time with the overloading fix as well

ripe lantern
#

They did not fix double dipping crits yet. <damageReport.damageInfo.damage = single;> The offending line is still in

wooden ridge
#

So harb can you explain more on the event thing your talking about

ripe lantern
#

No

wooden ridge
#

😢

white frost
#

Interesting. I was expecting it before the content update but I'm in no hurry

ripe lantern
#

Diffing patches

slim lintel
#

lmao I got that shit in a couple minutes before the change im ded

white frost
#

Good job

#

Are the bosses new now?

wooden ridge
#

Wait new seed can possibly get me a better merc time

#

Because what I had was poop

#

It’s was like a 3:20

white frost
#

You speedrunners should switch to Japanese text that usually is good for speedruns

slim lintel
#

but I can't read moon runes

white frost
#

But what if it saves you 0.2 seconds

slim lintel
#

too weeby

#

rather take longer

frank juniper
#

the only thing that has changed about the trial is the second level

#

first level is identical

slim lintel
#

ok I was about to say, I just spawned in and s1 is the same

frank juniper
#

second level is much harder because you are far away from the teleporter and the crystals are in odd places

wooden ridge
#

Fuck me the first one was my downfall

white frost
#

Yeah that's because more world rng is used in level 1

wooden ridge
#

Welp ded trail boys abandon ship

frank juniper
#

no way I can complete this trial now

#

guess I wont be getting the item unlock anytime soon then

slim lintel
#

trial resets in a couple days

ripe lantern
#

Has there ever been a shrine of order in a trial?

slim lintel
#

They should fully reset the seed and leaderboards if an update like this comes out during the trial

#

not that I know of

wooden ridge
#

@frank juniper if your just trying to get an item un lock take your time and gather items

#

No need to speedrun

slim lintel
#

Yeah the scythe is really good, just take your time its worth the unlock. (I mostly like it because it helps you build crit a little early on)

wooden ridge
#

^^

slim lintel
#

also is it just me or is the text in the objective area like 25% bigger

ripe lantern
#

ui changes were noted

slim lintel
#

i dont like it, looks chunky

wooden ridge
#

I’m not on so screenshots plez

ripe lantern
#

bosses can now span as all elite types in prismatic trials

slim lintel
#

I thought they already could

white frost
#

I belive there's a ui scale option

slim lintel
#

didn't one trial have a blazing magma worm lol

white frost
#

Yeah we ve had blazing, overloading and frozen

#

But I can only remember the bisons being frozen

wooden ridge
#

Blazing magma worm needs to be added in base game it looked so cool

white frost
#

And those were on level 1

#

So technically not a prismatic boss?

slim lintel
#

I thought we had a frozen vagrant at one point

ripe lantern
#

Well, they fixed a lot of rng issues that involved selections. They used to miss the last element in the list, since they were all changed to a new method, I assume this new method does include the last element

slim lintel
#

yeah that will be nice for the future

white frost
#

Gonna be less random hermit crabs hopefully

slim lintel
#

but I really love/hate that cabbage and bunny can't do anything now

white frost
#

Ah they'll get over it

#

How much time is left in the trial?

slim lintel
#

like 2 1/2 days

#

is stage 2 a different stage entirely or is it just a different layout

frank juniper
#

thank you for that suggestion

#

played engi and one shot both bosses with the use item

#

leveling up was a good idea

slim lintel
#

Try out the next trial as a speed run (if its a good one) they can be very fun and we need more people running them.

frank juniper
#

heeeell naw

#

I aint about that speedrun life

wooden ridge
#

I mean

#

If you have a favorite character it’s fun

frank juniper
#

RoR has always been a chill with the homies type game for me

wooden ridge
#

Like I play merc and I barely place that well but it’s fun being the only high placing merc sometimes

slim lintel
#

I get that, enjoy your new item 👌

frank juniper
#

I played the fuck out of the first game.. I really hope they bring back some enemies and items

white frost
#

I speedrun casually I wanna say

slim lintel
#

zed the controller master

white frost
#

Like I know my old ass and ps4 controller won't touch a world record but I still have fun with it

wooden ridge
#

The only controller player I know of that plays prismatic

frank juniper
#

I really enjoyed dodging the big crabs and getting an infinite run going with a HUGE stack of barbed wire and just afk farm

slim lintel
#

and is somehow somewhat competitive

frank juniper
#

clay men were cool too

#

dunestriders are like the big daddy version of them

#

but I want the little potheads running around again 😄

slim lintel
#

Pretty sure clay men will be making a comeback at some point

white frost
#

Clay men had to be coming back, I can't imagine anything else with dunestrider being around

frank juniper
#

first item I wanna see come back though is barbed wire 100%

#

dunno why it isn't in already.. thorns is such a fun mechanic

wooden ridge
slim lintel
#

isnt that a fanart? still really good

wooden ridge
#

Yea not mine but thought it looked cool

frank juniper
#

official looks better 👀

ripe lantern
#

both terrifying

frank juniper
#

fan art looks to cartoony

#

gotta keep it gritty sci fi

#

also official has a curved sword.. looks scimitar-like

slim lintel
#

o dang I never realised ror1 had art like that for the enemies

frank juniper
#

ooh you know another cool mob that needs to come back

#

the scavengers 😮

#

they were basically mini bosses early on

#

they would have rockets firing at you constantly and if they got close.. RIP

#

ancient wisp would be a cool comeback..

slim lintel
#

I want toxic beasts to come back so I can flamethrower dem piggies

#

make some bacon

frank juniper
#

man this makes me wanna play again

#

I wish it wasn't a hassle to setup multiplayer on this

slim lintel
#

port forwarding is really easy unless you have an isp provided router/modem

frank juniper
#

I don't even have any port forwarding software installed anymore because most modern games don't require it anymore

slim lintel
#

but opening ports is bad in general and you have to give your ip

frank juniper
#

yeah..

#

I remember though there was a way for people to host without you needing to use software

slim lintel
#

You don't need any software to port forward o.0

frank juniper
#

yeah yeah I know that

#

but I used shit like hamachi to make it a lot quicker to do everything

#

I played a shit ton of RoR and terraria back in the day

#

trust me I know the process

#

y'know if the devs said you can have only 1 thing added into the game next patch what do you want it to be

#

I would say command artifact

#

I need it back ;_;

#

crafting builds is HUGE imo

slim lintel
#

Man, everyone wants the command artifact but it made the game way too easy and boring imo. I never liked it

frank juniper
#

it allows you to create or follow builds man

#

creating them is the most fun

#

I guess it would be more interesting in the first game though because there are way more characters to make shit with

slim lintel
#

I like creating them with what the game gives me, more interesting than shopping for the exact thing you want, gotta go with the flow

frank juniper
#

but dude RNG just deletes so many runs on monsoon it isn't even funny

#

"welp we only got healing items the first two levels time to reset"

slim lintel
#

and with 3d printers its easier to build a run anyways

frank juniper
#

this happens way too often for my liking

wooden ridge
#

Idk I feel like I can consistently do get oblesk on monsoon

frank juniper
#

I want the ability to do command runs if rng is just not having it that day

slim lintel
#

I'm not against it coming back, and I'm sure it will. I know a lot of people liked it.

frank juniper
#

even with 3d printers RNG still finds a way to fuck you

#

it's always GG when you get attack speed/glasses/teddy printers

#

but sometimes you only get backup mag as engi.. or soda cans.. or key..

#

you can only hope that rng doesn't kill your run

#

no matter how skillful you are, if you don't get the right items at the right times you will just fall behind. If you don't catch up it just becomes too much and you have to start over and repeat the process.

white frost
#

Command really killed the first game for me

frank juniper
#

you don't need to play with artifacts though

white frost
#

A lot of the unlocks and the challenges felt like they'd be way too much of a pain to do without command

#

So I did them with command

frank juniper
#

also some lunar items (namely glass) replaces some artifacts completely

white frost
#

Glass is another one

#

Glass made the first game playable

frank juniper
#

but RoR has always felt like a "make with it what you will" type game

slim lintel
#

I hope they bring back parents+childs, and make a parent themed boss. I'd love to see how they'd translate to 3d

frank juniper
#

you define your boundaries and rules

white frost
#

I'd rather the enemies have reasonable health amounts from the get go

frank juniper
#

and there are infinite ways to play the game

#

but I definitely want options like command

#

make it a lunar item if you want even

#

but I think it's fun when everyone is playing by the same rules

white frost
#

What would the downside be

frank juniper
#

downside in what sense

slim lintel
#

tuna items all have a downside

white frost
#

Lunar items give you powerful benefits at a cost

slim lintel
#

(except drowned)

white frost
#

Yeah drowned is two upsides

slim lintel
#

They could literally make that item a red and it'd be fine

#

hell maybe make it red and give it a light nerf

white frost
#

I'd be down with that

#

Isn't fuel cell already a 33% reduction

slim lintel
#

drowned is one of the items I've just stopped picking up because you just quit playing the game

white frost
#

And that shits green

slim lintel
#

fuel cell is 13 or 15% per one I think

white frost
#

Ah right

slim lintel
#

drowned and tesla make the game a snorefest

frank juniper
#

artifacts in RoR are either good/bad or both. command is definitely just a straight good one imo.

slim lintel
#

just run around the map and everythings dead dont have to do anything

frank juniper
#

if the rng element is something you consider fun or good, then I guess the lack of rng would be considered a downside

#

but it's still RNG for what rarity of items drop

#

it's not like you open a white chest and you can pick a red

slim lintel
#

I mean if you can just stack stickies as much as you want thats better than any red

frank juniper
#

I guess I just like the build aspect of it. being able to follow strong builds for a fun time with the boys, or come up with some weird build and see how far I can get with it

slim lintel
#

stack stickies and wisps kill one enemy and the whole stage is cleared

cyan stratus
#

wtf

slim lintel
#

Hi :^)

cyan stratus
#

wtf

slim lintel
#

get frikd

cyan stratus
#

??????????????

slim lintel
#

I got that crowdfunder tech boi

cyan stratus
#

game sucks

slim lintel
#

s1 start revving it up right after you hit tele so its full speed once duneboi shows up, you kill him way faster

cyan stratus
#

not as mult

slim lintel
#

and if you remember to turn it off you still get lvl 2 stage 2

cyan stratus
#

mult needs the entire thing, you can only skip the 1st 2-3 bullets if you killed a wisp

slim lintel
#

rip

#

well the seed changed due to update and my time is unbeatable now

cyan stratus
#

tbh i could've beaten your time so i win

white frost
#

What if stage is even easier now tho

slim lintel
#

I knew you were going to say something like that

white frost
#

It's a very cabbage thing to say

slim lintel
#

stage 2 was a dream stage it doesnt get better than that

cyan stratus
#

wow this update removed the cheaters

white frost
#

It what

cyan stratus
#

lol jk they would never

white frost
#

You tease

cyan stratus
#

not like it matters for you (^:

slim lintel
#

wo

white frost
#

I see cheaters sometimes!

slim lintel
#

damn that apple is savage

#

the fact zeddy can see/beat some cheaters with a controller cracks me up

white frost
#

I should train more with gyro

frank juniper
#

I was in a group earlier and a guy was playing the bandit

slim lintel
#

I dont think bandit or han-d is going to be in the game fully

frank juniper
#

the abilities were the same 2d art from the first game

#

assuming they are placeholders

#

I think he will be added.. seems like a finished character to me

white frost
#

He seems pretty close to being done yeah

slim lintel
#

I think han-d and bandit were ditched late in development and they left them there for people to play around with

white frost
#

Was really expecting him in June

slim lintel
#

bandit is far enough along he should have been the char released in june, but they already said june char is a new char

cyan stratus
#

why couldn't this update happen with the bison trial

slim lintel
#

so I dont think he's coming

cyan stratus
#

we even had a petition going

slim lintel
#

ikr

#

didnt it end up getting 5 signs lmao

cyan stratus
#

yea

#

that's like 2 more people than the regulars in here

slim lintel
#

hahaha starStreamerWasMeanToMe

frank juniper
#

we need another melee character

slim lintel
#

🦀 prismatic trials are dead 🦀

frank juniper
#

if han-d aint in.. and they said it's a new char.. it wont be miner either I guess right?

#

hopefully a melee class

slim lintel
#

new char is going to be Recifitra

frank juniper
#

the merc feels really good in RoR 2

cyan stratus
#

lunar pod is gesture of the drowned

frank juniper
#

I thought for sure that a melee class in a 3d environment would be trash in this type of game

slim lintel
#

does that do anything good for you tho

frank juniper
#

at least when you get to the point of everything being able to 1 shot you

#

but somehow they managed to make it work and feel amazing

cyan stratus
#

yea it makes crowdfunder start automatically so i dont have to

frank juniper
#

so I definitely think they could manage to make another fun melee class

slim lintel
#

lol

cyan stratus
#

btw s2 is just a worse version of last one

#

same boss, same map but crystals + teleporter are farther away

slim lintel
#

rip

cyan stratus
#

so gg?

slim lintel
#

I was excited when I got that time to see if you guys could beat it, then the update happened like 2 minutes later

#

this is like beating your times 5 minutes before the next trial, but you have to look at it for 2 days

#

feelbadman

cyan stratus
#

wait, the crystals dont do knockback to you anymore

slim lintel
#

WHAT

cyan stratus
#

that's strange cause they still do dmg?

slim lintel
#

you lying lil bith they still knockback

cyan stratus
#

lmao gotem

slim lintel
#

lmao just accidently found the crit hud bunny couldnt find

cyan stratus
#

y'all would be using preon if it wasn't for me

#

bunch of idiots (^:

slim lintel
#

crowdfunder is big brain, you get all that money from the crystals

cyan stratus
#

yea thats why i gave it a try

slim lintel
#

Theres def been other trials we could have shaved a ton of time off with that

cyan stratus
#

nahh

#

the only other crowdfunder that was close was like 6 trials ago up the ramp on the 1st stage

#

and that was a good 30sec back and forth

slim lintel
#

I swear there was an easy one on at least one trial way back but idk

cyan stratus
#

it was when i said there was a preon

#

but it was actually a crowdfunder

slim lintel
#

maybe it was that first/second trial where it was just mult with backup spam glitch

cyan stratus
#

yea i wasnt around for that garbage

#

well congrats on your wr it's the only way you can get one anyways (^:

#

if it's a mult trial i beat you and if it's an arti trial cat beats you

#

i've noticed that mult and arti are pretty evenly tied usually though

slim lintel
#

I beat cat, unless he comes in at the last few hours of the trial

#

he also plays the trials way more than I do to grind for crits

#

I basically get a decent run and quit until someone beats it

cyan stratus
#

yeah he "plays" the trials to """""""grind"""""" for crits

slim lintel
cyan stratus
#

i wonder how he'll react when he's forever 3rd

slim lintel
#

lmao

#

so this doesnt happen in the future

cyan stratus
#

done

slim lintel
#

on the bright side as zeddy brought up they reduced a lot of rng out of the trials. Like the random world events are seeded now

#

no more grinding for that titan spawn

cyan stratus
#

zzzzzz

wooden ridge
#

Zzz

slim lintel
#

man this trial would have been fun with some good competition and the update had to go on and ruin it

white frost
#

Just uh

#

Make a new baseline time

#

What's the best you can get in ti's iteration of the trial?

slim lintel
#

its just not the same, and it kept the pretty crappy s1, that top crystal can be annoying

white frost
#

Yeah

#

You guys should play EDF. Always felt like it would be cool to have people speedrun the missions there

slim lintel
#

also taking a screenshot of the clear only shows like 1:55 and doesnt have the the milliseconds which could lead to issues if two of us get the same time

#

I've played edf it's awesome

white frost
#

The timer stops on teleport tho

#

Oh shit you've played EDF

slim lintel
#

ye 4.1

white frost
#

I did a vid on it earlier today, star eaters with air raider

#

Have a project of sorts where I do low-ish armour runs

slim lintel
#

have you played the new one thats ps4 exlcusive?

#

new-ish I think

#

wing diver looks sick in it but I'm the only one in my friend group with a ps4 so I probably wont buy it unless it comes to pc cirBlech

white frost
#

Yeah I've gone through the hard campaign in 5 and last week I started split screen iron rain with my cousin

#

It's quite good, I like the item system

#

Prowl Rider is low key OP I feel

#

You can be jet and fly and use energy to sprint

#

Or you can be spider man and web swing across the city way faster for basically no energy cost

#

His energy seems to refill the fastest as well

#

To me it seems like only reason not to pick prowl Rider is because you wanna be heavy Striker because two guns are more damage than one

#

My cousin plays jet he seems happy with it

#

Both 5 and IR came out during the last 5 months so I'm not actually sure which one you're referring to

slim lintel
#

probably 5

white frost
#

Aw man 5 is great

#

Improvement upon 4.1 in basically every way

#

Some places it felt like they wanted to shake up the meta for the sake of it, nerfing ranger snipers, forcing most people into close range, I love it

slim lintel
#

yeah I hope it comes to PC

white frost
#

Me too

slim lintel
#

4.1 has...issues. Like a memory leak that makes the gun select menu run at 5 fps

white frost
#

It was actually discovered that the leak happens faster the more you spam voice lines

slim lintel
#

yeah my friends and I cant resist the voicelines tho

white frost
#

Spamming voice lines is essential to the EDF experience, you're definitely not stopping me from it either

#

All of that aside, I feel like speedrunning EDF missions would provide an experience similar-ish to prismatics?

#

It'd just be a bit jank cause we'd have to supply our own timer

#

And also decide what armour levels we'd want to be using

cyan stratus
#

wtf is an edf

wooden ridge
#

cyan stratus
#

electric donkey fight

slim lintel
#

earth defense force, its a cheesy clumsy silly and amazing game

gloomy sparrow
#

EDF is great. It's dumb and janky but also fantastic.

pearl eagle
#

Well I find this patch mildly infuriating

#

ggs I guess

slim lintel
#

While part of me finds it hilarious on timing, the other part feels bad. I feel like we could have grinded down to 1:40 on a god run

pearl eagle
#

It's for the best anyways, I should be preparing for an exam

cyan stratus
#

i decided to do a normal run for once, apparently teleporter stops spawning bosses at some point?

white frost
#

i though that was supposed to be fixed

#

maybe they just fixed it for regular enemies

slim lintel
#

oh no, cabbage did a normal run

#

🦀 prismatic trials are truely dead 🦀

#

🦀 time to uncap our framerates 🦀

cyan stratus
#

feelsbadman

slim lintel
#

If they don't accept my feedback to change the prism trial on updates wonder if we can set steam to not download updates for ror2 and launch it from its .exe to get around updating (unless the changed seed ends up being way better)

cyan stratus
#

the new seed is worse so im done with this trial

#

idrc though

grave forum
#

If you haven't got the update, and run RoR2 without Internet, it won't update, so just disconnect your network, load the game then reconnect.

zenith plinth
#

anyone else having direct hits with artificer attacks on a crystal deal no damage?

slim lintel
#

idk haven't played trial since they ruined this seed

cyan stratus
#

zzzzzzz

pearl eagle
#

🦀

cyan stratus
#

@pearl eagle should i upload my 1:45 to flex on you

pearl eagle
#

Do it

#

You won't

cyan stratus
#

im not home so you're right

pearl eagle
wooden ridge
#

When’s it reset?

slim lintel
#

not soon enough

cyan stratus
#

y'all artis would've been at 2:20 preoning the vagrant lmao

slim lintel
#

I wasn't even going to beat it until I saw the crowdfunder strat Artificer 👌

pearl eagle
#

Stop flexing your routing skills Cabbage

cyan stratus
#

Artificer Preon

slim lintel
#

btw cat in the future, s1 bosses with crowdfunder on arti you can start revving the funder up pretty early to kill the boss way faster

#

it was letting me get 0:59-1:00 pauses consistently

cyan stratus
#

that would require too much iq to find

pearl eagle
#

I blame sleep deprivation

cyan stratus
#

gotta blame something

pearl eagle
#

👆

slim lintel
#

@white frost Do you know what the firerate on the crowdfunder caps off at?

white frost
#

I believe I've seen the number 15/s thrown around

white frost
#

Does this trial happen to have a Frost relic?

wooden ridge
#

idk

#

has it reset yet

white frost
#

I don't think so

cyan stratus
#

no and no

slim lintel
#

frost relic could be interesting in a trial with a beetlequeen/titan

wooden ridge
#

It would be a trial I would actually excel in

slim lintel
#

can't wait for the headstompers trial either

#

and they give us vagrants on both stages

white frost
#

Hesdstomper trial sounds hella fun

wooden ridge
#

if they gave us a headstompers trial i might actualy be able to get a faster time than yall

#

id just m2 boost on a slope and 1 shot boss

white frost
#

Gotta use engineer with his higher base damage

#

Oh yeah merc with his higher altitude is a good case too

slim lintel
#

We really havent had a cool red item trial yet. we got brainstalks that one time but arti couldnt really make use of them

wooden ridge
#

yea i kinda used it but i found other faster methods that time
