yea i've done runs with ap and without ap
#prismatic-trials
pearl eagle
There are two?
Wait, I have a theory
Could you possibly do a nano jump off of a jellyfish explosion?
Like we do with crystals and get a big boost
slim lintel
99% sure on my run I forgot to pick up the boss drop lmao
cyan stratus
nano jumps are overrated
slim lintel
they're really good, the game just keeps having shitty seeds where you cant really use them
cyan stratus
yea i just, idk
too hard to nano jump off of 1st s2 crystal because of kjaro band randomly activating
slim lintel
welcome to arti where 1 proc or random crit completely destroys your run
pearl eagle
You guys know you can just do a 180 and pop the crystal with the nano to get basically the same effect right? I don't think it's as strong as doing it a bit later but it's not far from it
slim lintel
its def way worse
I tried doing that on the trial I found out about nano boosting and wasnt able to make it up on the platform
that trial was fun, so many route changes
and no swamp level
cyan stratus
didnt i only lose like 2sec on that trial, that means i'm a good arti player
pearl eagle
Well I've got the time down to 2:15,76 for Arti. Still pretty easily beatable
cyan stratus
wtf are you doing differently
pearl eagle
Still don't know where second kjaro is
cyan stratus
it's right there
cyan stratus
then you're just saving time with s2 crystals
all my m2s and m1s hit walls
arti is a bad character
pearl eagle
How the hell do you waste like 10 seconds on crystals? Mine were awful aswell
Also just improved PB by 1 second, and my s1 pause was 1:18
pearl eagle
🤔
cyan stratus
guess i beat you when i get home
pearl eagle
Yeah please do, don't care enough to continue without any competition anyways
slim lintel
if next trial has swamp level I'm removing ror2 from my steam library
cyan stratus
fastest s1 i got was 1:10 but it's just a bunch of rng
btw is runald band proc chance applied w/the attack or on the enemy?
like if there's a massive group of enemies and 1 aoe attack hits all, will runald band happen randomly on a couple of them or will it happen on all of them if the chance was applied to the attack itself
@pearl eagle 2:12.02
lost 5sec s1 and 2nd boss rng was garbage
2:05.32
still lost 5sec s1 but 2nd boss rng was good
pearl eagle
Yikes
cyan stratus
you wanted competition right
tbh that 1:10 s1 was stupid, i pretty much 1shot the boss
not gonna happen again
pearl eagle
But I'm defusing bombs rn
cyan stratus
guess i just have to claim the title of best arti then
pearl eagle
😢
slim lintel
Man this sucks
pearl eagle
Cabbage, do you still pick up the second kjaro?
cyan stratus
yea
pearl eagle
Do you mind telling me where it is now?
slim lintel
I swear y'all get more active the more I hate a trial
pearl eagle
I can't even tell if that's stage one or two
slim lintel
that is one B A K E D image
pearl eagle
Well I found it because I remembered seeing a chest near spawn earlier
cyan stratus
idk man seems pretty clear to me
pearl eagle
Not because of your nuked ass picture
cyan stratus
you're welcome, anything for a fellow runner
slim lintel
You need to make your run video thumbnails that fried
including the red circles and arrows gotta get those clicks bro
cyan stratus
sorry, only high quality content goes on my channel
pearl eagle
Damn the s1 boss died fast
Wait, how tf did you manage to get 1:10 pause? did you proc kjaros like 10 times or something?
pearl eagle
Are you using both jellyfishes to boost? because that time is still pretty god damn fast compared to my s1s
cyan stratus
lol i rewatched my 1:10 pause and i activated tp at 0:52 instead of my usual 0:48
boss just kinda spawned and died
if you want i upload my 2:05
we all owe our thanks to @whole anchor for popping in here and dropping his arti strat though
pearl eagle
👏
And yeah if you are willing to upload, I'd like that
Because 0:52 activation is out of reach and I have no clue what you are doing
cyan stratus
no i mean 0:48 activation
0:52 was the bad one where the boss got 1shot
i actually dont know what time i activate, 0:48 comes to mind
pearl eagle
Well, best I've gotten so far is 0:53
cyan stratus
yea nvm it was 0:52 activation
but i did have to wait 3sec because the jellyfish bumped against a tree
yea actually rewatching this, it's really scuffed, idk if i wanna upload something of this low quality to my high quality channel, i might lose a subscriber
yea i look through footage i usually activate at 0:48
just depends on where the jellyfish spawns
slim lintel
it truely is dark times for pt, cabbage is playing arti
pearl eagle
Holy shit I'm retarded
No wonder I was losing so much time, I've been walking around the right side of the tree by Kajiro
slim lintel
why tf you not nano boosting the jelly jump
cyan stratus
i dont like nano boost, takes too much skill for my small brain to handle
and i usually land on top of the chest, the entirety of s1 was just extra scuffed
slim lintel
already found a huge timesave s2 lmao wtf are ya'll doin
s1*
I hate games that limit your up/down view range
slim lintel
like 5 seconds or more
pearl eagle
You know what they say, sharing is caring
slim lintel
I fucking swear
never crit the bosses but boi will m1's crit the shit outta crystals for days
holy shit 2 m1 crits on one crystal in a row
cyan stratus
my record for crits in a row without buffs is 3
pearl eagle
Fuck this game bro
Got a crit flamethrower on s1 boss, but then I crit my first fireball on s2 crystal...
Also, nano jellyfish is a thing. got a 0:47 pause when I got a perfect one
I mean tp activation
slim lintel
idk why they dont just remove the 1% crit rate from trials
pearl eagle
I feel like they should just flat out remove 1% crit, and make it impossible to crit on crystals
But that would feel kind of wrong, just removing an element of the game
idk man, but they should do something about 1% crit
Also, I just got a late 1:06 tp pause, so I think I beat your pause record Cabbage
Also, I think I know why some boss kills like that one are so fast
When you cast ice wall it decides if all or none of them will proc it, same as with how it works for crits
So if your ice wall hits that 10% and the beetle hits like 5-6 of them, Kajiro's procs 5-6 times as well
But hey, that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
cyan stratus
ok
pearl eagle
Now that I think about it that doesn't make sense at all actually, because that's not how the flamethrower works
🤔
slim lintel
I think its if you m2 does it or not, since proc damage is based off the attacks damage now instead of your base damage
pearl eagle
Now that sounds like a game theory
slim lintel
this map is about to make to go cut down a bunch of rainforests
also til m1 doesnt snapshot, you can pick something up after you fire it and it will get the proc
pearl eagle
Not quite sure what you mean
worthy shale
Did they fix the cheating in the trials yet :^)
pearl eagle
Lol no
Not a whole lot of people play trials anymore, so it's not as noticable as it was after launch
slim lintel
Join our exclusive legit leaderboard by adding us on steam
pearl eagle
Cabbage, who is number one legit on this trial, is at 14. place
What do you mean by snapshot? You mean when an enemy is frozen and won't die from your attack?
slim lintel
no like mmo snapshot
pearl eagle
Well, I now know what snapshot means but don't understand the context for the rest of your sentence
cyan stratus
no snapshot = shoot -> get buff -> shot gets buffed
pearl eagle
oh ok, I think I get it
So he means that your attack might get the buff from an item you picked up while attack was mid flight?
Or should I just sit in the corner with a dunce hat
slim lintel
u got it
pearl eagle
Big brain Arti main
cyan stratus
am i still fastest arti time
pearl eagle
Yes, go play MUL-T
cyan stratus
just wanted to confirm that despite @slim lintel 's supposed 5sec s2 save i'm still best arti NA
slim lintel
rex is honestly just better mult
there's like a 1% chance for my strat to work lmao
and its nothing to do with crits
pearl eagle
I'm really starting to get pissed at the fucking s2 crystal jump
slim lintel
idk if this strat is even good I think just getting the stupid ass jellyfish is actually better if you nano it
pearl eagle
What? You telling me the jellyfish nano is better than crystal nano?
slim lintel
the crystal nano is good but the jelly hopping you up to the ap rounds saves so much time and I can't find an alternate other than waiting for the slowass jelly to catch up anyways
ok now that I'm trying the lame strat the jellyfish flat out doesnt exist
pearl eagle
I mean, I nano jump with jelly from log every run and as long as the jellyfish doesn't spawn outside of our realm it tends to work pretty fine
slim lintel
ok how the hell are you getting any kind of good jump off these jellies? They either send me straight up of give next to no knockback
pearl eagle
You need to stand really close to them
Shoot it then run past it then body block it when it is about to explode
Time your jump and nano for a good jump
It's rather reliant on the jelly spawn tho
slim lintel
alright I'm done with this trial, if I have to look at this shitty map anymore I'm going commit die
cyan stratus
guess im just best arti then
slim lintel
grats
cyan stratus
thanks
pearl eagle
You know what, I'm probably gonna just give up aswell
Getting through a run is just such rng with our route rn
Yeah no I give up
Procced Kajiros on first jelly 3 times in a row and now it decided not to attack me and just decided to bounce off instead
Haven't gotten past that hill in like 10 runs
It just hurts my brain
pearl eagle
Also realised the item is called Kjaro's and not Kajiro's
cyan stratus
🙃
slim lintel
I wonder if time pauses in the gold portal during trials, considering the shop doesnt like its supposed to probably not
but having a trial with all the crystals easily accessible and being able to get a gold idol to get the big boi on 2nd tele would be cancer
cyan stratus
gold portal just ends the run
cyan stratus
but you dont have to
slim lintel
You'd have to to get the best time (as long as it actually paused time in there)
cyan stratus
but it isn't
slim lintel
you would also be able to get 4 items
runic pecan
did they change how the bounce o the crystals works?
slim lintel
nope
runic pecan
guess i went dumb and dunno how to anymore lol
cyan stratus
cap 60fps
grand trail
Trying out a little stuff with Rex got me a 2:42, could probably knock it down with better jumps from the crystal in s2/skipping the leeching seed in S1/ not getting stuck on the tree past the kajaros band
cyan stratus
check out my video for a 1:57, it's a pretty bad run so you can improve on it
whole anchor
There's also a Royal Capacitor in s2, but I didn't manage to save any time by getting it
It's the first drop off the Shrine of Chance near the spawn, so you have to kill the first crystal from the platform for the money then spend 10s retrieving it
cyan stratus
boss dies too fast for that to be useful
white frost
Is the trial scorched acres yet
slim lintel
more swamp
whole anchor
I found another Kjaro's in the swamp lol
Not that it's in an useful location, mind you
whole anchor
Okay, I don't know what times are realistically doable anymore, but the 1:40 Mercenary one has to be fake, right?
whole anchor
Managed to cut S1 down to 1:10 without Kjaro
So Kjaro has to win you 4s in S2
Or more if you don't suck as much as I do
cyan stratus
1:10 without kjaro is impressive, but the chances of getting kjaro procs on s2 boss with 2 bands is larger than 1 band so i don't think it's gonna be enough without really good rng
pearl eagle
Kjaro proc chance is the same no matter how many you stack, the only difference between one and two kjaro's is like +100% extra damage on each proc or something
I'm pretty sure atleast
cyan stratus
are you guys really gonna let me have both the best houseplant and the best arti time before the trial ends
i didn't come back to trials just to have everyone quit
slim lintel
shouldnt have come back when the game decided we needed swamp 4x in a row
cyan stratus
idk why you hate swamp that much it's perfectly fine and there's a lot of nice strats that can be done bc there's jellyfish
slim lintel
🦀 shaped glass trial 🦀
time to edit those save files
this might be the fastest trial ever
cyan stratus
if you edit your save file for lunar coins i edit my character for more speed
slim lintel
also nvm about this being fastest trial
ok why the frick does fireball not snapshot but nano bomb snapshots the second you start charging wtf
you know screw this game I'm done
cyan stratus
🤔
cyan stratus
even though there's shaped glass there's a ton of walking so this trial is p slow
only got it down to a 2:03 so far but i don't think it's going any lower than 1:50
pearl eagle
As Rex?
cyan stratus
idk his name, it's a plant though
pearl eagle
That doesn't sound like Arti, see you all when an Arti vid get's uploaded so I don't have to scout
cyan stratus
why not the plant
pearl eagle
plant = gay
cyan stratus
wtf
pearl eagle
:)
cyan stratus
since the only arti player quit i don't think an arti vid is getting uploaded my guy
pearl eagle
That's a big frick right there
Might look at it tomorrow I guess
Not gonna play the plant tho
pearl eagle
🤢
As previously stated
plant = gay 🤢
not that I have anything against gay
But plant = gay
cyan stratus
i think you're hiding behind the fact you don't know how to play him
pearl eagle
nah
cyan stratus
ez wr for me every trial though 🙃
pearl eagle
I'm pro ror2 player
cyan stratus
hmm but you can't beat my arti times either
cyan stratus
i remember the good old days when you would steal my strat i developed for 10 hours and beat my time by 1sec
but now i just smash my head against the trial and you don't care about beating my time
pearl eagle
Then I realised Arti is actully fun to play
cyan stratus
yea i love dying simulator + random crit farm
cyan stratus
there aren't enough people who play trials legit for those to make any sense
cyan stratus
nah i don't think the game is dead, just trials
i still don't understand why trials aren't more popular but w/e
pearl eagle
🦀 Trials are dead 🦀
If it was more popular I'd probably do a lot more trials and try a lot harder
But you know
🦀
pearl eagle
But you just play the retarded plant tho
plant isn't any fun and gives you arthritis
cyan stratus
i disagree
the boost ability actually is very complicated if you want to maximize distance
for example you can get ridiculous vertical mobility by using it before you jump
pearl eagle
🤔
cyan stratus
and depending on which stage you use it in a crystal jump you can get various trajectories
misty ledge
if vertical it's like you got a stack of 5 hopoo feathers and jumped at once
cyan stratus
and then with jump pads you can get very big boosts that even send you cross-map depending on when you use the boost
pearl eagle
ik, that's like the only interesting parts of him
Other than that I don't find him any fun
misty ledge
it's a hard char to play with early game
pearl eagle
And it's kind of sad cuz I was looking forward to running with him
cyan stratus
then idk why you play arti
pearl eagle
Cuz she's the only char I find fun to play 😦
cyan stratus
you can literally do the laundry, make morning coffee, and do the dishes with all the downtime you have walking across the map with arti
misty ledge
arti for me is just spamming everything as much as you can
pearl eagle
That's your opinion
cyan stratus
ok well that's not how you play arti though
pearl eagle
My opinion of Rex is just spam m2 on bosses and press shift as soon as you can
misty ledge
yeah it was like 1 run of arti
cyan stratus
but shift is to sprint
cyan stratus
ok and
pearl eagle
ctrl is sprint default
cyan stratus
my keybinds are clearly the best because i have the best trial time
pearl eagle
u dont now hw to sprinterino
misty ledge
lol
cyan stratus
and those 2 are directly correlated
pearl eagle
Feeling slightly offended again 😠
misty ledge
gotem
cyan stratus
you should
idk if i should do more runs of this trial, i'm running pretty low on coins
pearl eagle
You probably shouldn't
Let's just find a different game to speedrun
Ya'll wanna speedrun star wars battlefront 2 classic? If you guys do that I'll get a headstart
cyan stratus
all this speedrunning will have paid off when trials become popular and people subscribe to my channel
pearl eagle
But PTs aren't gonna get popular in a long ass time
cyan stratus
numbers are my only source of validation
slim lintel
Trials are dead for this one crazy reason your wont believe: click here to find out why ||🦀||
misty ledge
hey it unlocks the scythe
cyan stratus
but you can just play engi and smash your head against it for 15min
misty ledge
oh
cyan stratus
trials should spawn 50 overloading magma worms after 3 minutes
actually nevermind they shouldn't, how tf would you scout
misty ledge
you don't
slim lintel
if they remove the 1% crit chance and make the games base mechanics a little more...consistent I'll come back. 'til then I'm done
misty ledge
it's a game where synergies matter, so if you ain't for that, you might as well find another game
slim lintel
literally no reason for m1 to not snapshot but m2 snapshots as soon as you start charging. That and the flamethrower dot rng that can take seconds off your time and makes crystal jumping with it impossible
misty ledge
ah well 🤷
slim lintel
this is nothing to do with the games synergies or anything
misty ledge
thought you were talking about the basic game and not for trials
slim lintel
why would I be talking about the basic game in #prismatic-trials
misty ledge
gotta agree in that case tbh
i've seen way too many people misuse channels in different communities so I'm just like this
slim lintel
thats slow af arti can easily get sub 3 seconds
slim lintel
its crazy what you can do when you actually sprint
cyan stratus
esp. with energy drink and red whip
i was considering doing shrine of the mountain for 2x red whip but idk about that
slim lintel
if they spawn next to eachother as arti that may actually be worth since you could aoe basically everything
cyan stratus
they don't
(500m)
pearl eagle
Not 🦀
slim lintel
why do you still have those enabled I told you how to disable them
cyan stratus
too complicated for small brain
slim lintel
I bamboozled them, they thought I the top dog arti quit so they all gave up
pearl eagle
Hackers are gone 🦀
slim lintel
this was my plan all along
cyan stratus
but you weren't the top dog arti though
slim lintel
I'm gonna spank u
cyan stratus
i claimed that title last trial remember
oh and btw the chest right next to the boss is crit glasses, i'm just stupid
didn't think to check
slim lintel
ya ik
cyan stratus
i claim arti WR with 2:05.02
cyan stratus
.......yes
slim lintel
stop
cyan stratus
wtf
slim lintel
just go fast without the drink bro
slim lintel
this guy calls himself arti #1 and stops for a drink lmao
slim lintel
also I wasnt recording so I cheated and it doesnt count
I also got a lucky m2 crit on s2 boss without picking up glasses
slim lintel
55s could probably improve it to 53~
cyan stratus
boost off top or bot crystal
slim lintel
both
cyan stratus
what
slim lintel
what
cyan stratus
what
slim lintel
what
slim lintel
oh top
cyan stratus
ok i thought so
slim lintel
hover through the tree like a majestic bird
cyan stratus
but idk how tf you saving like 6sec compared to me
slim lintel
hope to god the tree doesnt eat your fireballs for no reason
cyan stratus
i just stand on the ledge and do the fireballs
slim lintel
what
cyan stratus
i'll waste a second any day
slim lintel
actually I found out if you just go a tiny bit extra to the right the tree basically never eats m1s
cyan stratus
oh i see what you're doing and why you told me to skip the drink
slim lintel
drink may be worth it but waiting on an item is boring
cyan stratus
i get 1:01 with drink
slim lintel
ye
also im a dumbass and just ruined a run doing the nano thing off the cliff s2 forgetting that once you shoot whip goes bye bye
cyan stratus
ur really gonna make me play plant again aren't you
slim lintel
lmao trying to play trials with a slow ass plant
oh lmao thats actually pretty smurt I'll give you that
slim lintel
ok the flying strat doesnt work well with artis fat ass projectiles that love terrain
I also have the patented bonk strat
f weebs man
cyan stratus
i use flying strat with arti too and it works fine
imagine losing to a plant
but yea it's def possible to kill before titan lv's up with a bunch of luck
slim lintel
I love wasting a lunar coin and having the shaped glass just flat out refuse to be picked up
cyan stratus
you know lunar items have to be picked up manually right
slim lintel
yeah
I'll sit there holding E on it and it wont do anything
I also love how flame thrower RNG either means you get a 54-55s pause or a 59s+ pause
holy shit f bonk strat and arti projectiles
how do these crystals always get places in this shitty half coveres by terrain positions
i cant speak anyone
anymore
cyan stratus
brain turn off ?
slim lintel
probably counting to many dot ticks for these jumps is brain melting
cyan stratus
i just eyeball
slim lintel
I got it down to a science, shoot 4 m1's count to the 5th tick of 12 damage start charging nano on the 5th and then jump right before the 8th tick of 12
holy shit I'm going to run out of kerns before I get the bonk to work
cyan stratus
use my flying strat
slim lintel
doesnt work
cyan stratus
yes it does i did it
slim lintel
alright I'm just gonna upload my 1:55 I'm done with this
I would have beat you by a few seconds but threw the run because I thought he'd die before leveling up but I was wrong
lmao oof I changed the desc not title what a dum
I wasted a lot of time looking at that stupid ass crystal making sure it died
mystic flint
this trial is absolutely slaying me 
slim lintel
same
cyan stratus
btw it's pt34
also the volume of your video is lower than ur iq
wasn't talking to you my guy
@slim lintel why no lv4 s2
slim lintel
I think date is better overall for keeping track of trials
over "prismatic trial 34" etc
cyan stratus
i disagree
for example i can say 'prismatic trial 5 was my favorite' but it sounds clunkier to say 'the prismatic trial of 4/10/19 was my favorite'
runic fog
Why not both?
cyan stratus
because that's what the upload date is for
white frost
yeah but it only takes the prismatic trial runners all going on vacation for like a couple of weeks before the count is completely lost
slim lintel
also trials last 3 days and I always use the date the trial started, not when I uploaded it
cyan stratus
nah i calculated which trial it was by using previous dates after i stopped playing for like 10 trials
slim lintel
Well you keep it up with that pointless number and I'll keep the dates
cyan stratus
👍
mystic flint
is there a survivor dominating this trial? i can't see my self completing it with anyone but huntress
pearl eagle
Haven't played the current one yet, but I assume Rex is doing pretty good as well as Artificer if we are talking about speed
mystic flint
i'm not seeing enough bunching of mobs on the first stage for rex to keep health up... unless i'm just spamming m2 too much
pearl eagle
If you looking for some lightning mcqueen fast type of times
Our boi Cabbage has got your back
During boss fights you basically just spam m2 as much as possible and hope you don't die
slim lintel
rex is def beatable with arti, my sanity cant keep going but if you feel like spending some kerns you should go beat cabbage cat
cyan stratus
wow i wake up and i'm getting free advertisement
i guess all this work really has paid off
cyan stratus
i got a 1:52.91 as rex but i highly doubt that rex can kill titan before he gains hp, so arti can definitely win this trial
cyan stratus
zenith plinth
how do people beat it in a minute with huntress 
cyan stratus
cheat engine
grand wraith
good
cyan stratus
@slim lintel i have no idea how you get so much distance off the 1st crystal jump
i've tried like 20 times now and never get that far
where do you cap your fps to?
slim lintel
by being the wordls #1 arti main
the worlds even
Make sure you don't turn around too early and are sprinting when the crystal explodes then turn around thats very important
cyan stratus
ur video says 60fps but i'm convinced you've edited the file to cap it to the magic number for max airtime
slim lintel
and starting nano charge right after the 4th tick of 12 damage is a bit trickier to time but a bit better
5th tick is easier but a little less effective
also a little tappy of your jetpack at the apex seems to help carry momentum a bit
you sure have been playing a lot of arti lately, I think you're slowly being converted
they're putting chemicals in the trials making the fricking mul-t mains arti mains
cyan stratus
@slim lintel do you jump
cyan stratus
ok i've gotten as far as you did a grand total of 1 time out of like 50 tries i'm just gonna assume you got really lucky
so therefore my rex time is unbeatable with arti since that jump is impossible
pearl eagle
Are you talking about the first crystal jump?
cyan stratus
yes
pearl eagle
I mean, getting as much distance as he got in that clip is pretty rough, but shouldn't be that hard to reproduce
cyan stratus
try it
pearl eagle
I just did
Got basically the same in my PB 2 secs ago
It's all about counting the ticks as he said if you want max distance
Getting a fully charged nano after sprinting out of the crystal explosion
I despise counting ticks but it's rather necessary in this situation
cyan stratus
i can't reliably count past 5
pearl eagle
I just count to the fifth one and start my nano, then just eyeball it
I don't like counting until explosion cuz it just throws me off
Honestly, what really bugs me about this trial, is the one crystal on s2
They somehow manage to put the crystals in the worst spots imaginable
Like every single trial there's atleast one crystal that's extremely annoying and inconsistant
cyan stratus
my flying strat is superior
cyan stratus
btw if you liked the video please make sure to leave a like since numbers are my only source of validation
pearl eagle
You use the milky on Arti as well?
cyan stratus
yes
pearl eagle
Jesus I really wish flamethrower fire procs were consistant
pearl eagle
Well I just got a 1:54,46
Gonna take a break before I continue anymore. Don't feel like wasting all my lunar coins on one trial
Barely missed the difficulty spike tho so it can be quite a lot faster
cyan stratus
do it then
pearl eagle
I'll give it one run before I take a break
solemn patio
pearl eagle
For your first ever completed trial i'd say that's pretty damn good
slim lintel
so since this is prismatic trial #34 whos gonna make some prismatic trial rule 34
I wanna see some curvy crystals
grand wraith
add in huntress to the mix
soft fox
how bout Rex X crystal instead
cyan stratus
right here https://youtu.be/0712Hahq83k
pearl eagle
shameless plug
runic pecan
oof 9s off cabbage
slim lintel
Cabbage, why don't you ever put your run vids in #ror-streams-and-videos? it gets you a decent number of views and helps draw people in to trials
cyan stratus
i figure people only go there to plug their own content so nobody would care
cyan stratus
yo where tf is the teleporter lmao
oh wow this trial actually looks really bad
but it's definitely arti only
pearl eagle
Wtf is that trial?
Just took a look at your video and I feel dread thinking about trying to survive in the tunnel and s2 boss fight as Artificer
cyan stratus
cursed
tough belfry
where the merc gang at
pearl eagle
Merc gang = slow gang 😎

it's only a minute slower

playing better games

It's coming out in like two days
Yet another surprise port
This is great
When I'm through with edf5 the 1.0 release of ROR2 will have been out for a year

How long until it's over?
pearl eagle
Oh, just 40min
cyan stratus
my run was like the 2nd time i got to stage 2, it's very easily beatable by more than 20 seconds at least
but w/e, new trial in 12min
pearl eagle
I just flung my headset after dying to the elder lemurians like 20 times in a row
I've gotten to stage 2 twice now, and died to the crucible of death once
I'm really glad I didn't play this trial
Also, Arti is not as fast as you think compared to your houseplant. At least if you think you could easily beat your time by 20 sec
pearl eagle
😠
cyan stratus
lunar pod has transcendance don't bother
pearl eagle
Ty for saving me the coin
Oh shit, we have the new tunnel equipment over by the tele
cyan stratus
praying to the shrine of luck 7 times gives a cautious slug
pearl eagle
s1 boss is titan, and s2 map is swamp
cyan stratus
that's my favorite map
cyan stratus
idk
pearl eagle
lmao, who plays base game
cyan stratus
im new to this game idk what the items do
pearl eagle
s2 boss is blazing vagrant
cyan stratus
hey that's my favorite boss
ha my first run was faster than yours
and i used shaped glass route
pearl eagle
Can't hear you, you're too far down on the scoreboard
cyan stratus
yea newt altar route is def slower
slim lintel
y'alls times seem really slow
cyan stratus
haven't completed a real run yet
slim lintel
o 2:18 huh ye nvm not going to bother
cyan stratus
lol
slim lintel
arti cant get anywhere near that lmao
cyan stratus
ehh i think arti can
slim lintel
nah m8
cyan stratus
i think this is an arti only trial
slim lintel
boring trial anyways too much running
cyan stratus
use the vase
cyan stratus
i thought i hit exit to desktop on accident but the game didn't close so i hit it again to make sure
is there something wrong with my brain
pearl eagle
Yes
white frost
Has scorched acres been in a trial yet
cyan stratus
no
white frost
This game is rigged
slim lintel
we got the "route changing super item" though finally
slim lintel
yeah its literally impossible for arti to get sub 2:25 unless I'm missing something
white frost
Probably gonna be over a year
tough belfry
i'm pretty sure it's pushing the vagrant into the ground
pearl eagle
I find it really weird how pushing an enemy into the ground does damage and doesn't just kill it
Maybe it's doing something similar to how rex can push wisps into walls for damage?
Anyway if it works consistently for merc then that's a good find. He could really use the damage
tough belfry
still too slow though D:
i think it must be the thing with rex since i didn't notice it before that update
cyan stratus
just use shaped glass route as merc i got like 3:10 on my first route with it
unless there's a consistent way to get the dmg on the vagrant idk
tough belfry
where is the shaped glass
cyan stratus
in the bazaar portal
tough belfry
just got a 2:30 by 2 shotting the vagrant to 200 health
magic roost
3:39 as REX with glass
I'm thinking I can push it if I skip the bazaar?
Plus sodacan on L1 into a boosted shift jump on the cluster of crystals?
magic roost
Nice. Using vase?
tough belfry
i have no idea how to improve stage 1, i get teleported at 1:40
proven tapir
Ya it has to do with the nice push mechanics vs flying enemies
slim lintel
is that a new thing since they added rex or has it always done that? I swear I used to push vagrants in to the ground like that all the time and that never happened
proven tapir
It's a Rex mechanic
magic roost
This doesn't seem like the right channel for that.
white frost
this is the channel where I talk to Chen
slim lintel
this is the most on topic channel in the whole discord. We're allowed to go off a little here and there
slim lintel
You realise saying that you're being off topic right? gtfo
this trial sure is great btw
can you even tell me what the 2nd stage is?
smh
cyan stratus
what no it isn't
cyan stratus
that's a pretty insane merc time, nice job
slim lintel
whats with all the swamp lately tho
I feel like its only been swamp/roost/red place the last 2-3 weeks
slim lintel
idk I feel like ever since 
dropped its only been swamp/roost/red other than like titanic plains once or twice
someone should keep a doc of each trial and what maps they had as well as a link to the vid for the best time that trial
I would, but I'm entirely too lazy
cyan stratus
i would do it but i'm the only one who makes videos anymore and i skipped like 10 trials somewhere in the middle so there really wouldn't be a point
it would be cool if there were a lot of people who played trials / uploaded their times, like in the first few trials
i remember zunts, mrgreen or whoever, that mishyro guy, and other og mult players like hat guy
trials were fun back in the day with them lol
cyan stratus
yea
i'm sure i'm forgetting a bunch of people too
but they're not here to correct me 🙃
slim lintel
maybe we should just let go and let it die in peace
cyan stratus
i tried to do that a couple trials ago but y'all wouldn't stop running them
i can't even be motivated to make a video for this trial though
cyan stratus
i mean it's pretty interesting with the crystals, the energy drink, and the new item
especially as merc there's so many ways to do stage 2 i still don't know what he's doing to get that low time
@tough belfry https://obsproject.com/
slim lintel
he's made videos before
cyan stratus
https://www.twitch.tv/ror2cabbage i could stream attempts if the quality is ok
but i don't think my pc can handle streaming
yeah the quality looks bad on my end
i need a new pc
cyan stratus
@slim lintel didn't you stream in the past? what bitrate do you use
cyan stratus
nice
slim lintel
4500 bitrate for 720p 60fps, 3000 for 30 fps
cyan stratus
that's weird i was using 6000 but it looked stuttery on my end
but then when i saved a video it looked fine so idk
slim lintel
thats probably fine for recording but useless for streaming you wont gain anything and will work your internet more
I record at 12000 bitrate for recording 1080p 60fps
my cpu is an i5 so I encode with gpu so it makes it look a little worse
cyan stratus
wtf 12k for recording
thought you need 30k min for that
but yeah if you have intel cpu things get a bit tough
cyan stratus
well idk much about recording / streaming so you're probably right
slim lintel
also probably not going to do next trial unless its really amazing, just got all 4 wisdom teeth out so gonna take it easy
slim lintel
i feel shitty also I use the anus controller
cyan stratus
i can tell by ur gameplay
slim lintel
ya it stinks
cyan stratus
btw here is the highlight from my twitch stream https://www.twitch.tv/videos/451842885
make sure to like the video and subscribe
slim lintel
no subs for you, you dont even have any followers
also gotta stream like 50 hours a month
rugged monolith
What's a "good" placement for trials?
cyan stratus
i would say 1 minute is pretty good
but you can only get that by hacking
so depending on the character anything less than 3 minutes is fine
tough belfry
i can get to the second teleporter 6 seconds faster than my 2:25 but i can't get a decent vagrant fight
also it's possible to damage it on the first dash
rugged monolith
Who’s typically the best survivor for it? I’ve been using Rex because of the life steal... also do you guys get items or no?
My best is 2:45 rn
tough belfry
rex,artificer,mult are the best i think
mercenary can get good times on some trials
if items are on the route to the teleporter and are dps or movement speed then you take them
if there's a preon/crowdfunder you choose your route based on that
oh or the backup that's good too
maiden stream
Is eccentric vase worth picking up?
tough belfry
on this trial yes
maiden stream
what time do i need for top10?
tough belfry
top10 is all cheated i think
maiden stream
oof
tough belfry
maiden stream
is 2:35 gucci in that case?
maiden stream
how do you see who's cheating
tough belfry
commandos and huntresses with sub 2:30 is pretty much impossible because of their bad movement and dps
cyan stratus
please do, we need more people
if you want i have a video of my current run here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/451842885 and you can check out my channel on my profile for previous runs
the current time i got is easily beatable so if you wanna give it a try go ahead
slim lintel
ok what the actual frik its swamp again
slim lintel
yeah
def an arti favored trial though
seems short too, s1 beetle queen s2 single blazing elder lumerian
pearl eagle
You got single?

Just watched my boi get burnt to a crisp by like 5 of them
cyan stratus
hey i got the sub 2
dense escarp
slim lintel
starting to hate this trial, picking up feather makes crystal jumping ass but is basically required to live
cyan stratus
the 5th dragon doesn't aggro half the time
slim lintel
got the 1:50
and I missed a crystal jump because this one sometimes takes 5 ticks to burst or 7 and idk why
cyan stratus
🤔
glacial imp horde spotted live on stream
probably from a certain time
could be better than dragons?
cyan stratus
still not faster than merc
ok, so the glacial imp horde appeared once and whatever i do it does not appear again
any ideas?
hmm i did an identical run, including activating portal at the same time, and still no imps
imps also have ~3000 less hp so if this trial is just up to rng idk
cyan stratus
if someone finds a way to get imps every time it's 100% fastest
slim lintel
idk how you got imps. I had even played around with using the combat shrines to try and effect the token thinger and it did nothing
you must have hacked your RAM
pearl eagle
Have you guys tried capping your framerate?
cyan stratus
yep
check my vod, i activated portal at exactly 1:24.17 and got horde of frost imps
now no matter when i activate it just gives dragons
slim lintel
I noticed in your vod you're killing 4 crystals on s2, I think all thats doing is making your teleport longer. Unless you need that extra money for the uke
cyan stratus
i dont do that anymore
slim lintel
good boy
slim lintel
did you figure out the imp situation
cyan stratus
yes and no
mostly no
but if i'm right it's just 100% rng
a single lemurian and no imps has to spawn by the teleporter and you have to kill it before activating
slim lintel
cyan stratus
@slim lintel there's something wrong with your video i think the title is a bit off
cyan stratus
i just stopped putting it in titles because there's always a merc faster than me
slim lintel
oh well I've got some news for you
cyan stratus
what's the news
slim lintel
www.cheat-engine.gov can impove your time in 5 easy steps. Become 90% faster
maiden stream
There's always 20 Commandos faster
slim lintel
trials players hate this one easy trick
anyone found a vid of these cheating commandos? I'm curious of what they actually do
cyan stratus
yea there's a tutorial on the pinned message in the channel
maiden stream
cyan stratus
@slim lintel your video title still seems a bit wrong my guy
cyan stratus
can't even spell the character's name right lol gotem
cyan stratus
btw are you gonna try to beat my time bc i dont wanna farm rng so please dont
slim lintel
yeah if its coming down to that kind of nonsense I'll just keep what I got
cyan stratus
ok :)
slim lintel
please do, its been cabbage cat or me on the top for months
cyan stratus
i doubt my 1:48 is easily beatable because of the rng
but i lost like 1.5sec on s1 so w/good rng its possible
tough belfry
i'd be happy to get a sub 3 with merc 
maiden stream
Got a 2:08
maiden stream
@tough belfry play rex :)
@cyan stratus @slim lintel are both sub 2 runs Glacial Imps?
maiden stream
shit so i cant just blame rng
slim lintel
man I just realized rex is gonna be op on bison trials, especially if they have preon
bison succ
tough belfry
we need class specific leaderboards >:(
slim lintel
We've been saying that for a long time but I brought it up with ghor once and it was like he didnt even understand why
so probably not going to happen
why would you not understand why
tough belfry
well you could just play the best character
tough belfry
i'm not playing anyone other than mercenary because mercenary is cool
white frost
I wonder how much work a discord bot would be
since leaderboads are superhacked anywya
what if I make a discord bot that keeps records of trials
you do a run, and then you say something like time/rex/2:49.22
the mods here are neat, I'm sure they could be persuaded to put one into this channel
maiden stream
time/commando/0:50.00
tough belfry
that would be cool but you'd need enough people to actually use it
white frost
then you can ask the bot to spit out boards globally or for a character
maiden stream
Hopoo just needs to do some anti cheat stuff for trials
white frost
yeah that's basically not going to happen
not before host migration, which is not planned at all
maiden stream
It kinda has to when there's going to be rewards at some point
tough belfry
one of the ideas behind character specific leaderboards could be to actually get people to play trials since some people might play characters that aren't good for trials and get high times then quit because they can't improve much in ranking
but the issue with that is that the number of people playing trials is probably declining anyway and there aren't going to be new people trying trials
tough belfry
wow crit preon strats have really improved huh
slim lintel
someone needs to make a pt generator mod so we can make our own seed and run it when a trial is shitty
we could also make a seed that has the new frickin map
tough belfry
i don't like the new map D:
slim lintel
wat
new map is amazing, the only bad thing about it is it looks too good and makes all the other maps look worse
tough belfry
for me i also feel like it's not open enough, there are too many walls to block my dashes and instead of height differences like hills in the other maps it's blocky and has bad visibility
slim lintel
who cares about newt altar spawns lol
slim lintel
cyan stratus
wtf
i tried a different route and didn't even get imps
this is a fast route
basically if you skip the ukelele but still do a lot of damage you go fast
cyan stratus
slim lintel
I honestly think rex is better for mob bosses than arti, arti is probably better with perfect luck but rex can so easily group up and aoe down
cyan stratus
tbh my dragon rng was very good, just the 1 dragon didn't chase but the other 4 grouped
maiden stream
relatable
slim lintel
🦀 trial bad 🦀
cyan stratus
but i like resetting over and over until all the dragons chase me instead of running off to stage 4 never to be seen again
zenith plinth
What if we as a community develop overhead maps of item locations, crystals, and the teleporter
For each respective trial that is
cyan stratus
not enough people that play it, and too much work to do it every 3 days especially because most runs don't even involve picking up any items
pearl eagle
I did consider making a website which we could use to place items on an overhead map of the two current maps in the trial
But I decided not to because I'm lazy and garbage at anything that needs to save information from users using databases
The thought is that every time there is a new trial we insert things on the map while scouting it
cyan stratus
but there's about 4 people who run trials on and off, i really dont see a reason for something like that unless trials somehow become popular
pearl eagle
Yeah ik
But it would be kinda neat and helpful for anyone new that wants to try trials
cyan stratus
that's why i upload video
pearl eagle
To show route, yeah but showing everyone everything might be helpful
cyan stratus
maybe some sort of interactive thing where they can see everything from inside the game
it's called exploring yourself 🙃

PSA rex can kill dunestriders from far enough away they wont succ
cyan stratus
that's a lie
slim lintel
not a lie (started recording a little late)
I get it to work consistently every time
pearl eagle
oh so you just proc the tall mode when you get within a certain range?
slim lintel
yep
cyan stratus
hmmmm
pearl eagle
Have you tried making a route for Arti, or did you just nope out of it when you saw the blazing dunestrider?
slim lintel
noped out, its way easier to be at least 10 seconds faster s1 with rex anyways
I'm #1 rex atm btw :3

Yo guys, did you know MUL-T has a new sound for his rebar attack?

if I could get better at mashing m2 I could beat you, your crystal jumps are dookie
even your normal m2 jumps are poor
that run was pretty clean though
cyan stratus
thanks
just use claw hand position and mash with your middle finger as fast as you can
slim lintel
honestly for rex I'll probably just change my controls to m2 jump space meteor
slim lintel
def can, I'm left handed so my left hand is faster
cyan stratus
but i would have a hard time ad strafing while mashing it
oh you're one of those people, that explains a lot
slim lintel
jokes on you left handers die younger
cyan stratus
🤔
cyan stratus
someone go beat my time so i have a reason to do more runs
slim lintel
if I can get used to the control change I might try tomorrow
slim lintel
well holy shit
I thought you couldnt bind the mousewheel in this game but you actually can if you spam it a ton
oh and apparently it only will work with mwheel up impossible to get mwheeldown at all

well i mean i'm kinda busy right now but if you did find a way to remove mashing then ok
i beat you tomorrow then 🙃
