#

are the trials still luck based

slim lintel Jun 18, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

I'd rather have to wipe with sandpaper for the rest of my life than play the current trial

tribal hamlet Jun 18, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

sounds about right

plain plume Jun 18, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

What makes a trial good or bad?

#

Oh? What rng is there to be had, if the spawns stay the same? Not trying to argue, just wanna understand

cyan stratus Jun 18, 2019, 10:20 AM

#

there's tons of rng in trials

#

first of all, although the spawns are the same the locations are different which means a wisp could spawn behind you and boost you forwards vs spawn in front of you and boost you backwards

#

then there's random proc chances, especially crit where one random crit can save multiple seconds

#

monster AI can be really random, like this trial has bisons which can just ignore you and go in some random direction

#

rng is the biggest problem with trials, it's not really an even playing ground just because the spawns and the map is the same

tough belfry Jun 18, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

the enemy spawn positions being the same every time would be great for mercenary :(

light sequoia Jun 18, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

I feel like Imps can also be pretty RNG especially the greater Imp HuntressThink

cyan stratus Jun 18, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

never have to fight a greater imp in trials

light sequoia Jun 18, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

correction, I meant Imp Overlord inxaniDerp

plain plume Jun 18, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

Ah yeah somehow I figured the spawn locations were roughly the same

cyan stratus Jun 18, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

never have to fight imp overlord in trials

frail gale Jun 18, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

Third boss is blazing imp overlord tho

#

He's kicked my ass 5 times today. l ol

cyan stratus Jun 18, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

yea the third boss gives me trouble in trials too

How do people get prismatic trials in 2 minutes

pearl eagle Jun 19, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

You get a good route and then you perfect it

#

Don't think getting around 2 minutes is quite possible this trial, atleast not for Artificer

pearl eagle Jun 19, 2019, 1:56 AM

#

Well, just improved my time from 2:34 to 2:22 with a 1% crit preon. I guess I'm done now

#

Doubt I'm going to be able to beat a crit preon

cyan stratus Jun 19, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

congrats on maxing your time on a trial nobody cares about 🙃

pearl eagle Jun 19, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

Thanks fam

#

Honestly don't think it's as bad as people say it is

#

My only serious issue is the dunestrider which is just not fun

nimble sage Jun 19, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

so can somebody explain what prismatic trials is

#

I've played ror2 for a bit but like I've never even looked into this

#

ahhh okay

#

sounds fun tbh

slim lintel Jun 19, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

it is sometimes

runic pecan Jun 19, 2019, 6:36 AM

#

wow fast

bitter heath Jun 19, 2019, 12:56 PM

@cyan stratus If you are not interested just mute this channel?

cyan stratus Jun 19, 2019, 12:57 PM

#

#

what do you mean

gloomy crane Jun 19, 2019, 5:42 PM

Speedrunning is kinda autistic in general

pearl eagle Jun 19, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

no u

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

Welp this is a mul-t trial, S1 is at least

#

can easily snipe crystals as mult but arti has to do a bit of back tracking and going past tele to finish off last crystal

#

got a crowdfunder behind a rock

#

idk how anyone can stand to play mult, he feels so slow and clunky

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

That's exactly how I thought when I started playing MUL-T back when the game launched

#

Playing him just feels wrong for some reason

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

well this is the trial for him to shine, but I'm not the one to make him shine

#

arti might be able to get something decent going, S2 is an ok setup crystal wise. S1 is a nightmare though

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

idk, doesn't seem that bad if you ask me. s1 isn't exactly interesting but the previous trial was a lot worse

#

My only real problem is the fact that we have to fight blazing wisps as the s2 boss

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

mult can snipe the 2 crystals up on the hill, arti can only hit 1 of them and you have to go past tele or wait for another m2 charge. You also have to go and get that crystal in the door cave as arti which requires backtracking, unless Im an idiot and am missing an obvious crystal again

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

Can't really see a good route for MUL-T even if he can snipe from top. Maybe I'm just that terrible at routing MUL-T

#

Also just found a rusty key s1

#

Hidden on bridge by the entrance to the cave

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

are arti dot ticks on a global timer thats always ticking or do they start on the first hit that procs the dot

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

Unsure as of how it works, but it looks like they all the damage tick on the same tick

#

That means flamethrower and flamebolt ticks on the same tick

#

But each attack is supposed to deal a set amount of damage

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

mmm so its probably a global tick

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

Yeah

#

Does rusted key not change shop terminals?

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

nope, not from what I've seen

#

just chests/equip containers

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

Or printers?

#

hmm, could have sworn some of the items were same as without

#

Nonetheless, the key is way too out of reach for Arti to be viable anyways

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

this would be a perfect trial for huntress if her DPS wasnt absolute garbage

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

I can't handle these wisps bro

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:13 AM

#

does key change the boss I cant remember

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:13 AM

#

Nope

#

I literally just can't kill the wisps

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:15 AM

#

what kinda pause you getting s1? I just got 1:08

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:15 AM

#

Just got 1:04

#

So s1, doesn't take that long

#

Bro with hover Arti can probably dodge those wisp attacks so easily

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

got 1:06 wonder where I'm wasting those few seconds...

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:18 AM

#

1:04 is probably the best I've got so far, so 1:06 is probably good

#

Just got a 2:17,43. That was with a terrible s2 tho

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

jesus the crystal in the cave alone is enough to make me ditch this trial

#

the ground eats m1 like a mofo

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

I usually do a m2 and double m1s while mid air

#

Works if the timing is right

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

just got a 1:04 wonder if our routes are same, are you M2 jumping off the rock up to the tele area after crowdfunder?

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

No, tried it a couple times but couldn't get it to work

#

I just use the little hill to the left of the rock

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

are you picking up ap rounds? they're prob worth it but I havent ben

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

You're not picking ap?

#

Bruh, they cut off so much time during vagrant and wisps

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

yeah I forgot about them til just now lol

#

seems like the time it takes to pick them up kinda evens out the vagrant since I got 1:04 without them, but def worth for wisps

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

And we're down to 2:02

#

During wisp fight you want to deal a lot of damage early on before difficulty spike. They go down super fast before spike and take a lot more damage after it

#

So revving the crowdfunder might be better even if we don't have a lot of cash

#

Maybe I was just missing with my crowdfunder before, but I'm not sure

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:32 AM

#

just got 1:03 with ap rounds

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

Not gonna lie, there's no question whether or not to take ap rounds

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

yeah def not

#

wish I could prog s2 at all but I keep critting an m1 on the first crystal and am unable to figure out the timing setup for a nano jump

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

Think I've got it without crit atleast

#

Right after you land you shoot all 4 into the first one

#

You should get a jump off of the crystal at almost the edge of the pink circle

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

noice thanks

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

So you should be able to get a nano jump out of it

#

You also have feather so you can do a double jump at the very end

#

Which you might want to do anyways to pop the crystal under bridge

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

tbh I've only gotten to s2 like 2 times because the first crystal s1 is a bitch

#

omg a wisp spawned where the vagrant spawns and made it spawm 10000 miles away

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

You really shouldn't obsess over a few seconds on s1 if you haven't practiced s2 at all

#

Top priority is to get consistant through entire run

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

me dumb brain, have to perfect every step on the way

#

literally what the fuck are arti M1's

#

aiming in the same spot while standing still and half of them hit the terrain half of them hit crystal

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

That's third person for you

#

Btw, remembered a few runs ago that I have a feather during wisp fight

#

Just sliding that in there so a lot of your runs aren't wasted cuz you forget something as simple as being able to double jump

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:44 AM

#

ye

#

I also just learned theres 3 wisps not 2

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

God damn, perfecting s2 is a pain

#

Having to crystal jump with a flamethrower that you preferably want to nano jump with

#

Not fun

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

why tf are you jumping with flamethrower

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:48 AM

#

Because I use my m1s to pop the crystal under bridge

#

Usually do 2-4 while flying

#

Just got a 1:53 with a really scuffed s2

#

The s2 wasn't bad, just scuffed

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

what time you hitting 2nd tele

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

Tried experimental strat which failed horribly, then I somehow salvaged it

#

2sec, I'll check

#

In the newest one with a really good nano jump from crystal on bridge I got a 1:26

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:54 AM

#

with my strat I got there at 1:19 but missed the last m2 so tele didnt unlock

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:54 AM

#

Damn

#

I really wished we had like savestates or something for these trials. Would make finding newer and better strats so much easier and a whole lot more efficient

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:57 AM

#

I really wish these wisps didnt spawn 100ft up in the air

#

yeah think I'm pretty consistent getting sub 1min s1's now and gettins s2 tele 1:18-19

#

now I just gotta optimize the shitty wisp fight

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

Damn, you getting sub 1 s1? guess I'm doing something wrong

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

you not doing the m2 jump

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

From the rock?

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

ye

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 2:02 AM

#

I guess I was wasting a second or two jumping further to the left, but that's still like 2-3 more seconds I'm wasting

You take your crystal on your way to the portal 🤔

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

better than using flamethrower to crystal jump starX

#

can def be improved, I forgot to aim most of the crowdfunder at the 3rd wisp lmao

#

can probably hit the 2 wisps that spawn close to eachother with an m2 at the same time with better positioning/aiming

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 2:31 AM

#

Beat you by 0.11s 😃

#

Actually didn't even steal any of your strats either. I think not having a nano jump on the last crystal jump is too slow

#

Not that I actually got mine to work, but I got far enough

#

Also, I just lost a run because I didn't hit lvl 2 going into s2

#

Must have activated my crowdfunder way too early I guess

slim lintel Jun 20, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

consistently crystal jumping with flamethrower is practically impossible because flamethrowers dot tick is rng, sometimes you'll get 30 damage ticks off of a few hits other times you'll get 3

pearl eagle Jun 20, 2019, 4:15 PM

I did as well in the beginning, then I remembered that I had a hopoo feather

#

Just double jump constantly and you will probably be fine, but I recommend trying to time it so you are as high as possible when wisps fire at you

#

This causes them to miss and you won't get hit by the splash damage of the attacks

tough belfry Jun 20, 2019, 4:16 PM

it's extra hard as mercenary since you have to be close to attack :(

Bruh, I've been dumbfounded by why your time is so much faster than mine

#

But I just realised you tping out of s2 is super fast

#

You spend like 5 sec after bossfight instead of 7-8s

#

Emptying your crowdfunder and not killing enemies is probably super important then I guess

slim lintel Jun 21, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

the crowdfunder down by the rock can shred the bosses like crazy

#

with just that and the AP rounds by the tele you should be able to get through s1 like a breeze, then shield yourself and do the same on s2 but be careful not to get hit by the wisps

frail gale Jun 21, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

That was.... Anti-climactic lmfao

I was expecting it to be balls hard like the one I tried the other day. Third stage was blazing imp overlord and I just could not get past him.

slim lintel Jun 21, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

cirThink what 3rd stage? Trials are always 2 stages

frail gale Jun 21, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

Oh. lmao then 2nd stage. maybe i mixed it up because the snow map is usually 3rd stage in rotation?

slim lintel Jun 21, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

trials have a modifier that randomizes the stage order

frail gale Jun 21, 2019, 1:12 AM

Ah yeah, okay

well either way it was on Contact Light and he was beating my ass.

I also feel like a dummy because I never knew they were only 2 stages... 😰 so it seemed way more intimidating than it is.

Yeah, the trials are very poorly explained cirBlech

frail gale Jun 21, 2019, 1:15 AM

They're also unbelievably hard sometimes, at least for me. I usually play on rainstorm though and they seem somewhere in between rainstorm and monsoon

Well, you get like 30 gold for each crystal you destroy, which is a good amount of gold in the early levels

slim lintel Jun 22, 2019, 4:41 PM

startiing out with 50 gold is also a nice boost

Trials

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

is top 100 good?

#

like how many people participate

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

I'd say yeah

#

Unsure of how many, Cabbage did an experiment a couple trials ago

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

did you bother at all with this trial cat?

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

Just started on it

#

It's super uninteresting

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

What did experiment come up with?

#

yea todays really is

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

After playing hardcore for 5 hours he was at 808th place

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

damn then not many

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

Yeah, the amount of people participating in the trials have diminished a lot since launch

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

I really hope the update livens things up

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

But the top 29 and a couple above are cheaters

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

so they arent great anyway

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

So being in the top 100 is basically like being top 50 or somewhat if you want to think about all the people doing it legit

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

okay just wondering

#

thanks

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

Just did a couple runs and sitting at rank 30 rn, and I'm only seeing commando/huntress/mercenary

#

Above me that is

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

who did you use?

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

Artificer

#

Arti and MUL-T are the two who usually get the top legit times

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:08 AM

Whats your time cat? I messed around a bit but never finished a run

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:09 AM

how do you do it so fast? i get double that

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

Well, you do a lot of trials and learn how to do it fast

#

I can upload vid if you give me like 15 min

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:10 AM

hahaha sure

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:10 AM

Doubt I'm gonna grind this trial anyway

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:10 AM

Im interested

This trial is far from as interesting as the previous ones though

#

I crystal jump once to get like 5m further

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

Yea once i got a proen accumulator and took 3 mins

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

Shit, there's a preon?

#

Give me deets

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:12 AM

#

were you picking up fireworks s1 to use on the flaming titan? he spawns right on top of a barrel

#

idk if its worth though

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:12 AM

#

Does it do enough damage to justify the extra distance you need to walk though?

#

Didn't try it but doubt it's enough

#

Ok, but seriously where's the preon?

Why do you hate the swamp so much?

winter tapir Jun 25, 2019, 6:17 AM

#

plus new patch im excited

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:18 AM

#

terribly designed, hate the way it looks, tons of sloppy brushes/unclipped things to get stuck on, tree branches are inconsistent whether or not they're solid etc etc

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:18 AM

#

Well, you're not wrong I guess

#

I can't say I like it, but you just seem to have such a burning hatred for it

#

Maybe you're scarred after we had to crystal jump between all those tree branches

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:20 AM

#

I'm crystal jumping through the dumbass tree this trial as well

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:21 AM

I just grab soda and run to the portal and pop last crystal

I just got a 1:05 pause with fireworks

Damn that's pretty good with fireworks

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:31 AM

tfw I keep opening the canister way too early and none of them hit him

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:33 AM

Bro, I just tried your strat kinda and it doesn't seem like the fireworks does like any damage

#

I'm really doubting the firework strat, but you're probably gonna prove me wrong

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:35 AM

#

8 fireworks at 300% damage is no small beans

#

ok nvm f this challenge wtf is up with all the jellies

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

Well I just cut my time by like 6 seconds with your firework strat

#

I think my fireworks missed the other time I tried, because it did a decent amount of damage

#

And yeah, there are a fuck ton of mobs trying to kill you while you are fighting the titan

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:40 AM

#

biggest problem with firework strat is it likes to kill enemies when you hit the tele to end adding time

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:41 AM

I didn't notice any extra time in my run, maybe I got lucky

Uploaded my new pb, seems like I crit my fireworks as well so they did double the damage

|| there's a panel on the backside of the pod you drop in from. Inside the panel you find an equipment you gotta bring to rex at, apparantly stage 4 ||

holy shit I think I already found rex tech

#

if you anim cancel his m1 with his m1 you can shoot his m1 waaaay faster

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

That's going to be super annoying to do in a run

#

Or do you mean abilities?

#

Like you do with MUL-T snipe and nade for faster second snipe

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 4:11 PM

sorry anim cancel his m1 with his m2*

Okay, was thinking you cancel it with sprint or something

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 4:14 PM

holy shit 2 shrines of order in 1 stage

you can sprint cancel his m2 (meteor) like snapfreeze

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 5:12 PM

and how much damage you take from your abilities

#

idk what they did to the graphics but holy shit this game looks so much cleaner

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 5:15 PM

Still really curious what this "trials changing" item is ghor was talking about

#

still only have found the brooch so far

#

ok this char is ass

#

his damage goes nowhere fast

#

only way to even remotely keep up on dps is the weave the m1 m2 but thats dummy hard since every sound in the game overwrites his m1 shot sound

tough belfry Jun 25, 2019, 5:40 PM

mercenary's dash seems bugged

ok nvm they just changed it

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 5:47 PM

holy shit theydid it and I didnt even notice

#

lmao theres a shaped glass on s2 in the trial now

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

Shit, I'm pretty sure if I turn off the sprint sensitivity reduction I'm going to lose a ton of muscle memory

slim lintel Jun 25, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

yeah, I'm gonna force myself to get used to it, though TBH I kinda got used to using sprint almost like a "zoom in" or accuracy mode

pearl eagle Jun 25, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

Yeah same, I also usually hit flicks with the low sensitivity while sprinting to kill wisps

tough belfry Jun 25, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

what do malachites do :o

#

i was just 18 minutes into a monsoon run and got malachite lesser wisps as a boss then died very quickly

they're the new "blighted" bois. I got a lemurian one, never saw it and just died

with REX you can just hold left click and spam right and it will weave them... seems like he has high dps. i like him... it?

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 7:04 AM

His dps is stupid high

#

Since long range and damage are the real mvp in trials it wouldn't surprise me to see him hit the top of the boards at some point

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 9:01 AM

was hoping the new trial would include the new map

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 10:02 AM

you've gotta go into the cave network in abyssal depths

I don't know, just means the record goes up a bit

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

tfw you lose a whole rex run because devs can't figure out how to make walls behind you not eat projectiles

#

also the main good thing about rex rn is a bug I'm pretty sure. The whole m2 resetting m1's timer

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

why would that be a bug

#

you spend health on it

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

why does using the meteor make your M1 shoot like you have 15 syringes. Thats totally a bug

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:23 PM

#

new character is stupid

#

dies too fast 0/10

#

also how tf did the #1 guy get 3sec when teleport time is 8sec x2 flat

#

must be hacking the game code itself

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

I also like how they added an item that makes snapfreeze even more pointless

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:26 PM

it's only vs elites

#

works against the boss but i didn't use

#

btw you can transfer vertical momentum into horizontal w/new character

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 1:27 PM

I do think rex is good for trials, but I still dont like him at all

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:27 PM

whats ur arti time

#

with invincibility rex could get like 2:20 but you need to plan your route around not taking damage and healing

what's your route like

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

I start with a backblast, put a seed if I have one on any crystals

#

I'm really fumbling around a lot still but stage 1 is very straightforward

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

do you grab stuff s1

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

stage 2 I blast my way up to the ledge yo ustart by and put seeds on the far off crystal four times on my way to and from the cave

#

just the will'o

#

why is there anything good

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

i grab a barrel for lv4

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 1:31 PM

I'mma just uplaod this run I think, no way I'm beating that time if it's your time

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:31 PM

#

yea my run was just improvised on the spot

#

depending on where the launchpad thing launches me, i just roll with it

#

because you can launch cross-map with it

#

what time do you pause s1

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 1:35 PM

#

oh hm

#

I should probably be using the launch pad

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:35 PM

you mean 180 jump blast

you use crystal jump + blast right?

you need to kill crystals anyways

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 1:57 PM

ah shit I thought I could enter and exit it from any point but its only the 2 end points so yeah

#

thought I could pop out do a couple shots and pop back in

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

yeah that thing is probalby gonna see some interesting uses

#

especially merc could benefit a lot from it

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

do you see the cooldown

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

it's a pretty big cooldown, but the tunnel also stays for a while

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

Its not super amazing, but if its not out of the way at all its def worth the pickup

#

especially if the trial has crystals in an awkward ass spot like the current one with a lot of travel time

there's plenty of routes possible but i just kinda chose one

ok i uploaded but it's copyrighted so you can't steal

pearl eagle Jun 26, 2019, 3:38 PM

There's a capacitor? That thing does some good damage to bosses. I'm assuming it's quite out of the way if you think it's too slow

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

you can use the boost i use to get to s2 portal to get to capacitor instead with a lucky slide

but idk

Interesting, we do the same thing up until you went up on s2 to pop crystal then down again to boop to crystal

yea that part is probably suboptimal

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 3:58 PM

I tried but I just cant enjoy Rex at all. Having to spam the meteor shit is too much effort

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 3:59 PM

just press it every second

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 4:09 PM

or never play that terribly designed character and never press it again

cyan stratus Jun 26, 2019, 5:08 PM

@pearl eagle i'm disappointed you didn't beat my time 15min after i uploaded

#

could it be that you're bad at the new character

pearl eagle Jun 26, 2019, 5:09 PM

Well I tried for like 30 min, realised I was bad at him and he felt rather clunky, then decided to play destiny 2 with my friend

is Rex good on Trials?

white frost Jun 26, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

Consensus seems to be he's got potential between his infinite range attacks and high damage output

slim lintel Jun 26, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

his high damage is going to get nerfed when they fix him

#

and then he's going to be even more useless

hollow lantern Jun 27, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

He should do higher damage than everyone else cause his attacks cost health

#

not so much hes op but if hes the same then why even play him if he has to gamble health to be on the same level as everyone else

slim lintel Jun 27, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

He's doing way more damage than he's supposed to. Also receiving way more healing than he's supposed to. Unless he's actually designed that way but that just seems...poor

hollow lantern Jun 27, 2019, 12:44 AM

I feel hes properly balanced tbh, he only functions in large crowds, otherwise he feels kinda pathetic

just noticed arti's hover gains insane momentum from jump pads similar to rex, except it only works on jump pads that send you horizontal at higher speeds

cyan stratus Jun 27, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

could still be useful right?

#

if you can just hover over from 1st two crystals to the teleporter or w/e

#

i expected you to beat my rex time with arti tbh i thought rex was just a meme for trials

pearl eagle Jun 27, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

I tried like two arti runs with some serious primitive routing but I honestly can't see Arti beating rex this trial. Simply way too much walking

cyan stratus Jun 27, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

cant you just hover instead

pearl eagle Jun 27, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

Hover is slow

velvet monolith Jun 27, 2019, 4:58 PM

#

it's entirely useless with the hover thing, you can't control it and 99% of jump pads send you into a wall or off a cliff

cyan stratus Jun 27, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

that's implying there's 100 jump pads and 1 is useful

#

go find that one and plan your route around it

#

also, any reason titans are randomly lasering even when you're next to them?

because auto aiming at a boss for 10 minutes is super fun. You can get a lot of stuff done while you wait for that hp bar to slowly go down

i do something almost like that for my 2nd boost

i go on the jump pad on top of the platform and then aim up

on my 2:10 pace i landed right on top of the teleporter but the chance of that is like 1%

is that just because the macro?

or are you doing something different

cyan stratus Jun 28, 2019, 3:38 AM

nah just the macro lol

#

although it's really optimized, i was getting 54 with the macro at first

slim lintel Jun 28, 2019, 3:40 AM

#

tfw a character is so badly designed you have to macro to play it at full potential

cyan stratus Jun 28, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

i mean you're not wrong

#

but mult could also use a macro for sprint m2 canceling

slim lintel Jun 28, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

thats a lot easier to do manually than perfectly doing the rex bulshit 100x per trial

cyan stratus Jun 28, 2019, 3:51 AM

well i mean i got sub 52 s1 legit, 2:15 legit, just could push to 2:10 with macro

it's not that time saving, just hand saving

with good crystal jumps

You can boop into space and orbital Canon the little crystals

i already have a pretty consistent strat for s1 crystals and s2 are on the route

i misjudged this trial, i messed up a run but still got 2:19

so idk how low it can go as rex

arti could easily get sub 2 though

man I figured out a decent line s1 that could get newt and still get decent time but forgot time still passes in the shop during trials...also the shop doesnt have anything useful and makes the s2 seed the worst thing I've ever seen

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

cant be much worse than last trial s2

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

it is

#

like you couldnt have the tele be any further away from the spawn point at all, and there's no crystals to jump with they're all on the sides so its just like a whole minute and a half of running to the tele

#

are there top down maps anywhere of the levels?

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

yeah now that arti hover exists just hover really high and take a screenshot

#

s2 without newt altar is fine though idk why you're using newt

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

I think rex is the new free trial win character

#

his boss damage is broken af

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

i just use goat hoof

#

i disagree

#

although you can melt bosses you lose so much health i only get to stage 2 1/10 attempts

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

then its the "smash your head against it until you get a free win" character

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

hmm isn't that arti though

#

i recall in my arti runs you just smash your head against the boss until you get crit flamethrower

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

eh crit flamethrowers gain you a little bit of time. It will only seal the deal if you got a perfect run/jumps to go along with it which is extremely rare

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

i like rex much more than arti though, there's no rng involved except whether the enemies group up and all shoot you at the same time

#

even if you get a crit m2 it's not like you have a really long cooldown so it doesn't make a big difference

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

even getting crit flamethrowers and m2's I generally get nearly same pauses

#

at most like 1 second less

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

1 second is quite a lot though

#

i remember when trials were actually played, top times were within 1-2 seconds

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

hover also sadly ended up being practically useless in trials

#

even in the normal game hover doesnt even effect gameplay that much until you get a hopoo feather and can actually get any height

#

it also eats momentum like a mofo

but you can hide between titan and the rock

also how is it wasting ur time you have to wait for the tele anyways

doesn't get me to lv4

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

yeah i got more xp from it but i didn't get lv4

#

unless doing it at a certain time somehow dupes the xp

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

oh I think I'm def killing a lemurian or 2

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

then you can just skip the canister?

#

2 lemurians + all the gold gets you to lv4

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:43 PM

no idk lemurians didnt spawn and still got it idk

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:43 PM

🤔

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

got 2:24 and honestly I dont think you're getting below 2:20 on arti

#

beetle queen takes waaaaaaaay too long even at lvl 4

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

yea i don't think i am either

#

since i'm playing rex

slim lintel Jun 29, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

determined butthole with that solid 2:38 on rex tho

cyan stratus Jun 29, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

2:20 is pretty easy on rex but a perfect run is really hard with s2 crystal jump being extremely precise, and 2nd boss being hard to survive on

#

i've only gotten the jump twice

What does holding f do for rex

slim lintel Jun 30, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

pays respects to all he kills

cyan stratus Jun 30, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

i made a macro that spams m1 and m2 when holding f, usually it doesn't do anything

#

but i don't use the macro because i feel like a cheater so i'd rather have my hand suffer

vapid lagoon Jun 30, 2019, 8:50 AM

#

your hand doesnt really suffer all you do is hold left click / m1 and then click m2 every second or little less with alien head

slim lintel Jun 30, 2019, 8:54 AM

#

Maybe your's doesnt, that shit makes my whole hand cramp up

white frost Jun 30, 2019, 8:55 AM

#

it's fine on a gamepad

#

so is Rex legit the best trial character now?

slim lintel Jun 30, 2019, 9:07 AM

#

100%

#

infinite range high damage move to kill crystals, movement option that works well with crystal jumping and has other gimmicks, untouchable boss dps (though admittedly inconsistent to pull off) mult cant touch it, no point in even playing him anymore unless a trial has 2 preons right in your path

white frost Jun 30, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

I find that pretty neat given all the hate he's getting on the steam forums

slim lintel Jun 30, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

I hate him

white frost Jun 30, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

why do i even go to that place

#

I just wanna see a trial with a malachite boss

slim lintel Jun 30, 2019, 9:12 AM

#

He feels carried by a bug (if it even is a bug) and his R scales like ass lategame

#

also if it wasnt for the absurdly broken brooch item they just so happened to have added this patch I don't think he'd be as well recieved

cyan stratus Jun 30, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

@vapid lagoon every 1 second is hard to time realistically so you have to mash instead, doing tons of fights wears your hand down over time. these are trials so there isn't alien head, realistically. it just means i can't grind trials for more than like 1 hour at a time

#

so yes my hand does start to suffer

I've probably got some time today so I can do some runs, but I'm not gonna bother if the trial isn't any fun or interesting

nope

what is confusing about that

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 7:31 PM

idk why you would play this game to go fast, it's about map exploration and collecting items

tardy remnant Jul 1, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

oh i see now

soft yarrow Jul 1, 2019, 7:45 PM

thats not very kachow of you cabbage

restive burrow Jul 1, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

fast map exploration!

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 7:56 PM

#

the first loop you can really go either way, take ~5 min per stage and get almost everything or just tele spam through the first loop to get the better spawn rates of looping to get items quicker without waiting as much for enemies to spawn

#

btw can y'all just remove the Prismatic Trial voice chat? It has never been and never will be used, at least for its intended purpose.

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

what's wrong with it, it brings more attention to the fact that prismatic trials exist

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

idk it annoys me

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

why

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

its a waste of space and reminds me of myself

restive burrow Jul 1, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

~~would only be fair to remove you too~~

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

so is the fact that there's 46 voice channels

tardy remnant Jul 1, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

You're free to not use any voice channels you don't like.

elder prism Jul 1, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

Don't see how it's a waste of space either, what if there's already a conversation or two here, and people want to have a third conversation that would drown out the others or flood the chat here, they could use the voice then. Or, in case they're very active about the conversation and want to take it over to vocal to get their words out more often about it and not have to deal with slowmode?

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

there's never more than 1 conversation at a time here lol

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

Nothing ever goes on here, there's never more than 1 conversation, no one in here thats active wants to talk on mic

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

well maybe when trials become popular in late 2021 voice chat will be used

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

slowmode is only 5 secs and doesnt matter

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

i just wish more people cared about trials, especially with the new character i thought people would be interested

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

I still feel like the way they are portrayed in game is at fault. It really doesnt say anything about them people have to come in here and ask how many stages it is, no one knows about crystal jumping unless they watch our vids etc

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

yeah but then again the game is in early dev so they're working on main game stuff first, can't really blame them

speedrunning is a minor thing that a lot of people dislike / don't know about

restive burrow Jul 1, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

speedrunning is pretty fun to watch once people start doing stupid shit like clipping through walls to get places faster, or doing things out of order
not really relevant to ror2 tho

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

stages in prismatic trials are out of order 🙃

#

can't clip through walls though, tried my best

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:56 PM

Maybe if we could figure out how to consistently do the slope boost thing people would like trials cirBlech

cyan stratus Jul 1, 2019, 8:57 PM

i got pretty close to consistent with the mult boost a couple trials ago

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:57 PM

I'm hoping I can catch ghor or hopoo one day in #gd1-nullified to see if they know anything about it

restive burrow Jul 1, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

you could ask the people who do slope boosts :^

slim lintel Jul 1, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

'cus ghor purposefully made the whole launch thing that merc/commando can do with dodge roll / merc m2

#

different kind of slope boost not the height one

this one is where you land and get a major boost of speed forward

slim lintel Jul 2, 2019, 7:27 PM

ngl my stupid ass didnt even think about using m1 to destroy the crystal like that because I'm so used to arti's m2 having more range than the m1. So if an m2 cant reach I dont bother trying m1

im not surprised tbh
