[cunning needle]

Release date tomorrow

[meager niche]

Got me worried for a second

I wonder if they have seen the day or money count

[cunning needle]

I'm more surprised a 2nd dlc hasn't come out by now

[sharp scarab]

I feel like it could be guessed that they were for how long it took, but this acknowledgement to the community is a breath of fresh air

[faint temple]

Don’t get us started on waiting for another dlc

[quartz bay]

truuuuu

[sharp scarab]

iirc I think thjey mentioned that the port is priority rn and they'll release more stuff once everybody is on the same page

[astral patrol]

the article literally just says nothing whatsoever

[rose bolt]

we are gathered here today for the first Gearbox W

[cunning needle]

Red Plane dlc https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/230487395420602368.png?v=1

[meager niche]

They see all a read all 🤫

[sharp scarab]

feels pretty something to me ngl

[cunning needle]

Who owns gearbox

[faint temple]

Me

[hearty basin]

thx 👑

[cunning needle]

Speed it up I'm getting cranky

[tacit matrix]

nice

[hearty basin]

Yeah, even if we can't respond to everything, due to different reasons-- always lurking, always listening.

[fierce juniper]

Hey check it out. An announcement about the dlc. Shocking

But good to hear from them

[meager niche]

I'm on a rolllll

[faint temple]

They’re in the walls

[meager niche]

Two replies

[faint temple]

They’re in the god damn walls

[cunning needle]

Gearbox after reading the most vile discussions about huntress known to man

[meager niche]

My hopes wasn’t wasted

[vivid jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/its-always-sunny-gif-8651311

[sharp scarab]

Here we are

[astral patrol]

console exclusive huntress damage buff

[cedar ore]

hello console discussion

[sharp scarab]

hello cbhv4321 #SaveEmbreadiment

what is this madness

[cunning needle]

Bikini costume**** but yes

[hearty basin]

cosplay

[cunning needle]

Spelling mistake

[astral patrol]

coolsplay :sunglases:

[sharp scarab]

ironically something probably only moddable on PC

[meager niche]

[cunning needle]

Modded console when

[astral patrol]

im pretty sure it already exists

[carmine plank]

finally something

[quartz bay]

oh nice, hope you saw me mention hoping gearbox add motion aiming feature from switch to the ps4 wink wink nudge nudge

[carmine plank]

i don't care if it'll take another half a year at least it's mentioned

[meager niche]

Lol

[faint temple]

[warm trench]

console dicussion mains going nuts right now

[meager niche]

Man I can’t wait for the gearbox hater to react to this new gearbox role

[cedar ore]

this place is way more civil than id expected it to be

[meager niche]

They definitely been reading what I have been saying

[rose bolt]

fellas

we did it
our cries for help and communication have been heard

they will let us know more often and beforehand

OUR BATTLE WAS NOT IN VAIN

[quartz bay]

gearbox doubters in shambles

[hearty basin]

comes with the territory bb

[tacit matrix]

the good ending

[cedar ore]

i mean, the update post is basically empty

[rose bolt]

we're so back

[sharp scarab]

terribly sorry for the words those have said here 🙏

[meager niche]

Lol

[cunning needle]

Share with us the biggest challenge so far in rebuilding

I assume there was just spaghetti code

[meager niche]

We gotta be careful now or they will cancel the update

[cunning needle]

[meager niche]

Cant believe we haven’t been ignored this whole time

Same

[meager niche]

The bad ending

I think I am dreaming lol

We are all dreaming

[sharp scarab]

Was this like an "if I had a nickel" type deal?

[pale mountain]

Yeap

[meager niche]

The next second you wake up to the rebuild getting canceled

[vivid jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/welcome-to-real-life-spaceballs-adult-adulting-gif-11190678

[sharp scarab]

There are a few things in there, the last paragraph in particular

Which means ror2 development may not end with sotv which excites me

[meager niche]

Let them cook

[sharp scarab]

Things obviously change but I had been wondering for a while

[cedar ore]

this?

[hearty basin]

Well, rebuilding is the biggest challenge in general. 😭

[unique sequoia]

News finally?

[sharp scarab]

the additional transparency is also great, so we won't at least be in the dark

[hearty basin]

gotta unify for the homies

[meager niche]

3 mod replies I am on a bigger roll

[sharp scarab]

Idk if you'd be able to answer this but.... console to console crossplay? 😳 👉👈

[meager niche]

Some people are just ignoring how hard people are working

[vivid jungle]

your katamari grows

[faint temple]

I love gearbox

[meager niche]

I would have never expected this

[carmine plank]

wondering too

[hearty basin]

We don't have anything to share on crossplay today.

[meager niche]

I need 2 of the other two respond and I win the non existing game

[sharp scarab]

It was worth a try!

[meager niche]

But do you think it’s possible or atleast worth a try

[sharp scarab]

I just lost the game

[tacit matrix]

I wonder how the bands bug even happened
console has a distinction between GlobalEventManager.OnHitEnemy and HealthComponent.TakeDamage right?
or does console handle it differently?

[torn fossil]

i hope the gearbox janitor gets a raise for working on the port for so long

[meager niche]

I have gotten two replies from both mods rn just need the other two mods

[meager niche]

Yea

[unique flame]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-staring-watch-watching-im-watching-you-gif-16260381

[meager niche]

Give him a raise

[cunning needle]

So by rebuilding the entire game, does this mean you'll have to go through a certification process with platform holders to release updates alongside PC so they all update at the same time?

[hearty basin]

I don't think it's possible to give an answer. They'll come for me lmfao

[meager niche]

Well I guess I just have to wait

[still crag]

FINALLY

[meager niche]

Multiplayer has been kinda dry for a while

[faint temple]

Risk of dlc

[meager niche]

Dw they know we are great at that ""all the messages before this""

[sweet edge]

They'd have to do this anyway iirc

[rose bolt]

I wonder if they're secretly working on another DLC alongside fixing console

very unlikely

[torn fossil]

devs of the pc port might be working on that

[gray quarry]

Do you think it will come in the first half of the year?

[unique sequoia]

Do you guys have a release date window or is it still too early to aay for sure?

[sweet edge]

oops I replied to the wrong person somehow 🤨

[meager niche]

Lol

[meager niche]

I tried to quit this discord and ignore it I locked it deep but still I came back

[cunning needle]

I kinda hope not so they can focus on console more

[sweet edge]

They have to do this anyways IIRC

[hearty basin]

chill out ☠

[rose bolt]

do we have an omegalul emoji yet

[rose bolt]

[meager niche]

There also working on a new game

Ror4

[torn fossil]

hopoo is doing rorr

[gray quarry]

Do you think the update will come within the first half of the year or no?

[meager niche]

There doing ror4

[faint temple]

Where’s the meme of gearbox looking at the code whenever the rebuild was announced

[meager niche]

1 dlc 1 new game and a console rebuild!?!?! these dev better get to work

[hearty basin]

The goal is getting to a point where they all are abled to be updated at the same time in the future.

[torn fossil]

theyre gonna invent the 5th dimension for this im excited

[pale mountain]

Truee

[tacit matrix]

playeveryware code be like

[carmine plank]

risk of rain 9 finna be a banger i'm feelin it

[hearty basin]

We're going to have more info at a later date about timing.

[meager niche]

Ror20

Well I don’t wanna really have a exact date but I rather have it somewhere in this year or next year or like a limit

[sweet edge]

they're not gonna give you a 'hint' lol

[meager niche]

Next decade

[quartz bay]

lol

[meager niche]

We are desperate here

[unique sequoia]

Thank you for the imformation. Consider my hopes reignited

[sweet edge]

yeah but if they didn't give a date in the official announcement you're not gonna get one here either 😆

[meager niche]

I'll bribe them

[dusky drum]

wait whats survivors of the void

[hearty basin]

Next time we get a date out, we want to make sure it's as accurate as possible.

[cunning needle]

Is there any info you can give about like
Update size for console (specifically switch)

[meager niche]

Well it’s better than nothing I had my share

[quartz bay]

its risk of rain dlc

[dusky drum]

theres dlc????

[meager niche]

He lives under a rock

[fluid rapids]

Oof bless your heart

[torn fossil]

evolution of release dates
"its gonna be this day"
"its gonna be these months"
"its gonna be this year"
"its gonna be sometime in the future"

[cunning needle]

"Tomorrow"

[meager niche]

He shouldn’t have gone out of his rock this early tho

[cunning needle]

[meager niche]

We need to know does the dlc come with a free home or car

[hearty basin]

Not anything I can give at this time (I, personally, didn't ask 🫠 )

[hearty basin]

with these rates? I wish

[faint temple]

Found it

[meager niche]

Well they haven’t really mention switch at all

[cunning needle]

Oh wait

Does switch have any touchscreen or motion control support for ror2

I never checked lmao

[hearty basin]

Switch is included in the console shenanigans

[cunning needle]

[quartz bay]

ive always had a assumtion switch was holding them back a bit. like imagine gup events on switch lol

[pale mountain]

Right Switch has like 6MB of storage

[dire bane]

i mean it has gyro support

[carmine plank]

could we get a proper next gen optimization with 120fps sometime in the future?

[fluid rapids]

Thank you for givingsvue an update tho gearbox

[meager niche]

Well it’s something

[cunning needle]

Gyro

[quartz bay]

truuuu

[meager niche]

Yea I had to do a double take

[meager niche]

I turned that off is that something that actually helps?

[quartz bay]

gyro help alot imo

[meager niche]

Happy as hell we got one tho

[meager niche]

:/

[quartz bay]

i can actually aim lol

[dire bane]

[prime sky]

OH GEEBZ

[torn fossil]

gearbox despiser joined the chatroom

[quartz bay]

[meager niche]

It was actually only one guy

[faint temple]

Next dlc is to just add acrid plushie as an alternate acrid skin

[open notch]

[gray quarry]

Skipity bopity boop boop

Ok you beat me

They can’t keep getting away with this

[quartz bay]

true, ive never been that good with controller stick ain alone so id probably not be able to

[prime sky]

I'm gonna post a stolen video rahhhhhh

[meager niche]

The more you learn the more sensitivity you can handle that what happened to me atleast

[quartz bay]

oh yeah that's happened to me alot lol

[quartz bay]

thats true

[faint temple]

Me when I die (my fault) due to being out of position (existing on the map)

[prime sky]

Motion controls are a thing?

[quartz bay]

only on switch

[meager niche]

When the same happened to me people called it a skill issue

[dire bane]

stay on the tele circle to prevent this bosses cant spawn there

[carmine plank]

always a fun time

[prime sky]

Whoa what's that item??

[lost rose]

I know you have a lot on your plate already, but would the unifying code base effect pc modding? Asking in case we need to prepare for changes

[prime sky]

Never seen that egg before

[tacit matrix]

also joining the modding discord for communication would be good in general

[prime sky]

[lost rose]

Aye a person from the gearbox team in the modding discord would be nice

[meager niche]

Idk when I try picking up it turns into a yellow scrap

[thin vale]

Its an item that can spawn when you have hellfire

[prime sky]

😔

[hearty basin]

Just console.

[lost rose]

Huh!

[lost rose]

Alright thank you i appreciate the answer

[open notch]

Acrid

[prime sky]

Die!

[open notch]

@prime sky what

[prime sky]

[open notch]

Is bleed good

[pale mountain]

Fireworks better

[lost rose]

But ye a gearbox rep in modding discord would be nice if possible, so if there are any huge changes we can prepare for it

Again thank you though

[thin vale]

after 1 year just delaying stuff its the least they can do

[meager niche]

Just two questions, why did gearbox released the anniversary update in this state? were gearbox forced to release the update soon because of the 3 month rule between pc and console and that is why it feels like it wasn't tested?
I just want to get this questions out of my head.

[lost rose]

Wasnt anniv outsourced?

Or am i wrong

[lost rose]

I dont know i dont keep up with console

[open notch]

He move

[pale mountain]

Nah it was Gearbox first RoR2 thing

Well the console side at least

[hearty basin]

unfortunately not something I can answer. I know that you've probably put in all the tickets you can, but when you have issues and feedback, we're able to get more information and track the frequency of issues through the support pages to help us investigate any concerns.

support.gearbox.com

[open notch]

Speaking of console when I was playing on it I glitched through the floor

[pale mountain]

That happens easily

[torn fossil]

its common

[open notch]

And in the same run an elder lamarian Elite became invincible

[thin vale]

normal

[pale mountain]

That can happen when entering a stage or reviving with dios

[open notch]

Also I have a question what is the easiest way to get brainstocks

[thin vale]

whats the requirement to unlock that?

[pale mountain]

Was it killing an elite boss?

[open notch]

I think it's defeating an elite boss on Monsoon difficulty

[meager niche]

There are ways to play around it by some items and/or survivor abilities.

[pale mountain]

Just unga bunga Loader

Thundergauntlet is buffed on console anyways

[open notch]

If you want to do high damages loader just use charge punch with both Elemental bands

[wintry ivy]

@hearty basin if you don’t mind me asking and I might not understand game development that well but I do know that you guys are working on all ports for it so my question is which one is your farthest or the one that is completed if any

[hearty basin]

Can't answer, but we're aiming to deliver all of the console ports at the same time.

[wintry ivy]

Ok thanks

I was curious to see which one you guys take as the hardest

[torn fossil]

stadia was clearly a priority

[wintry ivy]

Obviously

[thin vale]

naturally

[pale mountain]

Well that's basically Pc anyways lol

[open notch]

Also a question what was your longest risk of rain 2 run

[covert fiber]

Smh obviously the most prioritized console is the Steam Deck

[pale mountain]

Tru

[meager niche]

Stage 63

[rugged crystal]

@hearty basinare console players going to get any complementary "we're sorry for the radio silence" or "the almost two year wait" gift or price reduction on the DLC? or just a nice pat on the back and a sticker : D

i like the idea of a "we survived hell" badge

[pale mountain]

Well there is supposed to be a bit of a sale on release anyways

[rugged crystal]

i would hope so

[torn fossil]

hell but you can avoid it by playing not risk of rain 2

[rugged crystal]

"how to play RoR2...play RoR1"

[thin vale]

still cant wrap my head around them spending resources on a console that had a playerbase of 30

[meager niche]

I like more RoR2

[covert fiber]

They should give us an exclusive Pregnant Man survivor for the wait🫃including a brand new mastery skin for them too! That being🫃🏻

[pale mountain]

Anniversary artifact😈

[torn fossil]

i was gonna make a shitpost about this whole situation using a drtc screen but editing it sucks

[meager niche]

I am happy right now. We finally got some information.

[rugged crystal]

agreed

[hearty scarab]

SOTV CONSOLE

[rugged crystal]

i love this game, and I want to see console thrive like it used too

[prime sky]

it never used to

LOL

[proper bane]

I was just excited to see mentions of potential future content, after parity is achieved.

[hearty scarab]

i think he meant console gaming in general

now ppl play on pc more

[lone cave]

I feel like I constantly forget how based Hopoo is in comparison to other game companies

The announcement today was so absolutely based

[hexed silo]

that was more gearbox than hopoo

[thin vale]

lol

yeah gearbox selling the ip to the company that was leaving console in the dark for a year is absolutely based

bless them

[lone cave]

They have their reasons. Yeah, I don’t necessarily agree with them, but still

[hexed silo]

honestly quite surprising that a company with such a bad reputation would admit to their fault like this

[royal wagon]

i still don't think hopoo selling the risk ip is that much something to complain about, if it helps them move onto bigger and etc then so be it, they don't owe anyone anything

[open notch]

Also a question what was your longest risk of rain 2 run

[royal wagon]

2 mins

[lone cave]

Maybe only like an hour and a half

I don’t go much longer than obliterating

[hexed silo]

mines probably like 20 ish stages for the 57 leaf clover unlock

[quartz bay]

5 hours i think

[hexed silo]

damn does that not get boring

[quartz bay]

yea tho i was on a mission to get to stage 100 because i was curious if the ps5 could handle it lol

[hexed silo]

goodness

aegis carry

[lone cave]

Risk of rain is an idle game in disguise when you get into the late stages lol

[meager niche]

6 clovers.

[thin vale]

there is no excuse for selling their game like that

[hexed silo]

how long were you printing those ap rpunds and crowbars for

[thin vale]

console was being neglected and the content of the company itself is getting worse, and they still sold it

[hexed silo]

wait are you being serious

[lone cave]

Yes, but that was the better option. If Hopoo didn’t sell it, we would’ve had ZERO chance of getting an update

At least we do with Gearbox

[hexed silo]

gearbox has had responsibility of the console port the whole time so we still wouldve gotten the update but it's hard to say whether it would've taken more or less time

[thin vale]

that was the better option how? console was "being ported" by gearbox the whole time

[covert fiber]

Honestly, why even care🫃
The same stories repeat themselves over and over, at this point just play game, thing happens? Oh well continue to play game, dont like game? Dont play game🫃

[lone cave]

It’s not really my right to say that what Hopoo did was either a good choice or a bad one, because I ain’t the one in charge of the game. It’s their decision to make because it’s their game

[thin vale]

i have the rigth cause i paid for it so i can opinate

[covert fiber]

Because at first, yeah, calling out game for bad game did something, at this point? Nah🫃

[hexed silo]

lol

[lone cave]

Not as much as Hopoo did actively making the game

[thin vale]

glad the money just spawned inside their pockets instead of coming from a playerbase that supports them

[hexed silo]

?

[lone cave]

Dude, if you’re mad about the selling, you don’t have to play.

You can shit on a game all you want, but you’re still here, aren’t you?

[thin vale]

Yeah cause i still care about the game, and seeing the route its taking is just sad

[hexed silo]

how optimistic of you

[covert fiber]

I mean, it could have been worse

It could have been shut down entirely

[meager niche]

Exactly

[ruby timber]

*would have been

[lone cave]

Like, at least we’re getting updates at all

You gotta take what you can get

[thin vale]

doesnt mean we should be content with it being bad

[covert fiber]

I dont mean shut down as in, no more content, i mean shut down as in not being able to even enter a run

[hexed silo]

they wouldve shut down the game?

[ruby timber]

we would have stopped developing content for it

[hexed silo]

right

[ruby timber]

you'd have still got the DLC

but that would have been the end

[lone cave]

I would like to present to the court: Warhammer Darktide for console. Literally ZERO NEWS and absolutely no progress updates. It can absolutely be way worse

[covert fiber]

Or it could have been like rumbleverse, very fun and cool game, 6 months and it had to be shut down, can't play it anymore🫃

[lone cave]

Dude, rumbleverse’s characters looked so terrifying in a funny way. My friends and I just made abominations and called it a day

[covert fiber]

And console ror2 isnt THAT bad, like it is shit, but you can still play it and have a decent time with it, countering the bullshit it throws at you is pretty fun at times🫃

[covert fiber]

Indeed, the characters were fellas

[lone cave]

When they smiled, I felt sad. /hj

[hexed silo]

honestly im pretty annoyed by how long the sotv is taking to come out and all the bugs that plague the game, especially in multiplayer. it kinda just sucks to be able to watch people playing a more polished version of a game i would love to invest more time into but then actually playing and my items/mechanics work so differently or not work at all

[lone cave]

That’s why I’m glad they’re also trying to fix console’s problems along with the addition of sotv

[meager niche]

a little personal story, when the anniversary update came out I was on vacation so I couldn't play it on day 1 and right now I'm on vacation again and for a moment I thought: if they release the update/DLC on this days that on vacations.... I'll cry...

[open notch]

Also a question what was your longest risk of rain 2 run

[covert fiber]

You asked this like 3 times now

[hearty basin]

That's a very reasonable way to feel. It's taken longer than anyone anticipated. We're working towards a better experience.

[lone cave]

This is literally just copy and paste

So long as I know it’s being worked on, I’m happy

Good things come with time

[meager niche]

What is YOUR longest risk of rain 2 run?

[hexed silo]

but yeah i really appreciate the update you guys gave us today especially in promising more transparency since there's no way for us to know how things are going internally

[sage python]

Will the game be getting cross platform support?

[wintry ivy]

@hearty basin do you have an estimate even if not a guarantee or definitive time but like a rough estimate and I mean rough idea on when it could come out and I do appreciate you guys focusing on giving us the best version of it

[hearty basin]

We're not able to answer this at this time unfortunately.

[lone cave]

That would be sick, but I imagine it would be pretty difficult

[sage python]

That’s alright I’m just curious

[lone cave]

Crossplay seems to be consistently very difficult to implement

[meager niche]

Don't add more things to the "to do" list.

[thin vale]

Yeah 1 thing is already too much

[covert fiber]

Hell, even crossplay between steam and epic ended up buggy

[open notch]

Also a question what was your longest risk of rain 2 run

[frozen cobalt]

The biggest problem with this console stuff is that the reason it’s taking so long is so that it will be easier for us to get content when pc does there’s only one problem with that. See at first everyone was fine with this because who doesn’t want hopoo games new dlcs faster, the thing is since hopoo game isn’t making any new dlcs we are being told to wait a year so that we can get whatever at best mediocre content gearbox will make faster

[covert fiber]

Jesus christ

[hearty basin]

I can't answer this today. We're really working on making sure that any time frame we share is accurate.

[hexed silo]

is this a bot

[meager niche]

Bro stop.

[frozen cobalt]

So know we have to wait an absurd time to get our hands on good content so we can get bad content faster

[lone cave]

I feel like this guy’s just a troll

The dude who keeps asking about the run time

[wintry ivy]

Ok I’m glad that’s the case and I appreciate you answer all of our questions

[unique flame]

seems really invested in people's longest run time.

[wintry ivy]

Just a little

[lone cave]

Yeah. He really wants to know a few times

Just to make sure

[frozen cobalt]

It’s just so frustrating as I would be entirely fine with it if hopoo games had just made one more dlc just being to have any reason for this wait to actually be worth it.

[hexed silo]

also a question what was your longest risk of rain 1 run?

[lone cave]

Would I be burnt alive if I said I have yet to play the OG game?

[meager niche]

If i remember correctly is stage 20ish

[covert fiber]

Also a question what was you longest 🫃of🫃2 run?

[hexed silo]

ive played a couple runs and it was way too hard

maybe because i went straight into monsoon

[frozen cobalt]

Risk of rain is easier than the second game, for me at least.

[hexed silo]

welp

i beat it on drizzle at least

[torn fossil]

finished it

[wintry ivy]

@hearty basin what are some issues that keep coming up and im sure you can’t answer this but im just curious what is the struggle and like what is causing the time changes

[hearty basin]

The team is rebuilding, so that's the biggest challenge!

[lone cave]

The entire situation with sotv for console reminds me of the Kickstarter for Four Souls Requiem. Had to wait two years to get the stuff I backed, but the wait was absolutely worth it because the updates held my hype until it arrived

I know other people might not feel the same though

[wintry ivy]

That make sense but I mean like what bugs from the port that have cause the most issues

[frozen cobalt]

I know that you probably can’t say anything, but is there any ideas for future content I know that hopoo games left some of their ideas so maybe something imp related?

[lone cave]

Imp character when?

[hexed silo]

have you seen the bug list how are they going to choose just a couple

[hearty basin]

I can't answer that one either. Right now, we're focused on console.

[frozen cobalt]

Nice to know that your focusing on it.

[wintry ivy]

I’m aware but I’m curious what has cause the most issues

[frozen cobalt]

Honestly I thought that an imp dlc was what hopoo games was going do I’m kinda surprised they never did.

[prime sky]

The bug list is multiple discord word limits long

[hexed silo]

maybe like parity with pc because you could get the game working but not as how hopoo intended and implemented on pc

[prime sky]

picking out a few would be
odd

[meager niche]

And it's outdated.

[hearty basin]

game dev is magic and it's a miracle anything gets made at all 💀 I don't have the specifics, but if there's stuff we can share, we will

[prime sky]

if it's better to just dumpster the icky 2 years of coding languages version and make a whole new game

then I'm ok with it

[hexed silo]

thats what theyre doing ,no?

[covert fiber]

Pergent man🫃

[open notch]

Also a question what was your longest risk of rain 2 run

[meager niche]

They are doing that, remaking the game with a new code.

[lone cave]

Omfg …

[prime sky]

Ik

[meager niche]

Ok.

[covert fiber]

It was 50 pregnant men long

[prime sky]

608 minutes long I think

[meager niche]

He is trolling, it's the fifth time that he ask.

[dire bane]

2 seconds i died instnatly but i never got a better run in my 500 hours

[prime sky]

ah

[hearty basin]

I can't even remember how long mine was anymore. I got to see it back in the day before Early Access ☠

Also, do you mind moving this discussion to #ror2-discussion or #general? We want to make sure if anyone has console questions we can get to them quickly.

[lone cave]

The pod fell off the map every time I presume?

[thin vale]

that can happen?

[prime sky]

skatter!

[frozen cobalt]

It’s console anything can happen.

[prime sky]

Sandbox mode but with glass in the sand

[lone cave]

Anything is possible. insert confetti and rainbows here

[dire bane]

yea but then i tried acrid and it fixed the problem but those blazing beetles are on a whole differnt level

[lone cave]

You ain’t wrong

Blazing beetles hit the damn gym

[prime sky]

Blazing Lunar Wisp

[lone cave]

Oh god. Pain

Not as bad as blazing chimera

[hexed silo]

theres a bug that causes wisps to pretty much never miss i wonder if applies to the moon wisps

[torn fossil]

lunar wisps are the lunar chimera

[prime sky]

Pillar skip is the only way to fight mithrix without playing ror2 in horror game mode

[dire bane]

probably doesnt

[quartz bay]

true lol

[prime sky]

Moon Wisps don't have hitscan iirc

[lone cave]

I’m stupid

[thin vale]

They dont miss either

[hexed silo]

just wondering because sometimes ill be decimating the opposition in a run and then get instakilled by a perfected wisp

is that just me

[lone cave]

No, that happens to me a lot too

[thin vale]

yeah cause there arent perfected elites on console

[prime sky]

I haven't played this game in multiple months so my information is probably wrong

[frozen cobalt]

Console wisps are broken in every aspect

[dire bane]

imposter detected no perfected eleites on console

[hexed silo]

makes eclipse so much harder

[lone cave]

That’s why Mithrix is cringe and obliteration is based

[thin vale]

obliteration is a crutch

[hexed silo]

nah mythrix is the most interesting part of the game imo

[covert fiber]

The way to go is obviously twisted scav

[quartz bay]

i just loop till i have a god run

[lone cave]

Unless you have vase or just any form of pillar skip

[prime sky]

Mithrix doesn't have that many bugs

[thin vale]

glueing you to the ceiling is bad enough

[meager niche]

Or a god run.

[hexed silo]

did a run today and he just didnt move for a while in last phase

[quartz bay]

its been a while since i last did a non loop run

[hexed silo]

and then i died to the tesla coil i gave him

[meager niche]

Infinite adaptive armor.

[thin vale]

why did you get close you smooth brain

[prime sky]

Mithrix coated their hammer with superglue

[hexed silo]

merc

[thin vale]

L

[prime sky]

(lore)

[hexed silo]

real

[thin vale]

picking tesla as merc and figthing mithrix is just calling for disaster to happen

[hexed silo]

and i cant get the alternate eviscerate on merc because wisps keep ruining my damageless prismatic runs

[meager niche]

Just don't pick it 4head

[thin vale]

yeah pick another character

[dire bane]

should have had slcing winds

[hexed silo]

and i cant get the alternate eviscerate on merc because wisps keep ruining my damageless prismatic runs

[lone cave]

I’ve kinda become used to not having mobility because I main captain geriatric

That being said, it still sucks

[dire bane]

wait for kin

[quartz bay]

the past few prismatic trials were relatively easy to do no damage imo

[hexed silo]

merc is my last character i need to beat monsoon on ive been avoiding him for like years

[thin vale]

keep avoiding him

[hexed silo]

damn i havent been checking

[frozen cobalt]

I remember this switch run there were five magma worms and like eight grandparents even with swarms that was insane.

[hexed silo]

console scaling moment

[frozen cobalt]

Also had this run

[torn fossil]

merc vs mithrix with tesla coil is just spamming your special as much as you can to get him from a distance

[meager niche]

I never get that on stage 5 even with swarm activated.

[quartz bay]

i love it when that happens :copium:

[frozen cobalt]

It was a funky run

Switch scaling is torture

[hexed silo]

i just tried to only get close when i saw the "tesla coil being active" icon disappear but it got one tick on me which procced atg

i had 6 atgs

[dire bane]

pretty sure its the same on all consoles

[quartz bay]

having bosses spawn very early is a pain to deal with

[hexed silo]

one time a beetle queen just showed up naturally on stage 2

[frozen cobalt]

I don’t know about Xbox but if you have 20 elite blazing wisps on spawn then yeah.

[quartz bay]

it taught me how to loot quickly so theres that?

[lone cave]

I’ve had like stage four magma worms as regular enemies before and I was like “… why”

[thin vale]

oh so those also arent normal

I thougth 15 minutes was just me being too slow

[frozen cobalt]

Console is just what I imagine an April fools version of ror2 to be.

[thin vale]

it pretty much is a joke

[lone cave]

Yes, but slightly toned down. Only ever so slightly though

[thin vale]

now gb joined to make it a legit circus

[hexed silo]

i like when i simply cant do damage to runald and kjaro

[lone cave]

Indeed

Very fun

[hexed silo]

or when my headstompers just dont work

[thin vale]

to proc the bands or to the 2 lizards

[hexed silo]

cant damage the lizards

[frozen cobalt]

My theory is that Gearbox is just trolling us and they have yet to make any progress, I bet you that they add bugs on purpose just to see who can make the worst ones.

[hearty basin]

who adds bugs on purpose ☠☠

[hexed silo]

you make me feel bad for developers just trying to do their job and make a good game

[proud nymph]

bethesda

[thin vale]

whoever broke half of the mechanics of the game

[frozen cobalt]

Who knows my question is who thought on the dev team made the flipping scaling system.

There the ultimate troll

[nocturne crag]

Finally I can die in peace 🪦🕊️

Not literally Jesus ppl

[hearty basin]

Make sure to put in support tickets if you have feedback too ☠
that got me good tho

[torn fossil]

being dead is not an excuse to avoid working overtime !!!!

[thin vale]

imagine using ☠️ lmao 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[covert fiber]

Yarr

[proud nymph]

more of a suggestion than a question but the ability to play as an enemy unit to try beat the game that way on console would be incredibly fun,

[hearty basin]

I'm living this life ok

[frozen cobalt]

💀this is the only correct skull emoji

[open notch]

Also a question what was your longest risk of rain 2 run

[frozen cobalt]

never mind this is

[covert fiber]

But i wanna walk the plank with me mateys....

[hexed silo]

[covert fiber]

1

[meager niche]

I don't doubt you guys about the scaling but personally for me it never happens, every time i arrive stage 5 is 2 pre-spawn bosses or 1 pre-spawn boss and 2 elites big enemies, after that it's just little waves between of small enemies or medium enemies, no bosses.

[thin vale]

i could go longer in a run than your father could give you attention

[frozen cobalt]

Anyone can do a one second run

[dire bane]

might be a switch thing then

[hexed silo]

maybe it's multiplayer?

[frozen cobalt]

It’s probably both

[hexed silo]

my multiplayer games seem to be way harder than solo runs

[dire bane]

happens on solo for me

[thin vale]

Its because the piece of shit multi cant stop hogging the items

[meager niche]

The thing is my playstyle is: kill everything before the director accumulate to much credits.

[hexed silo]

ive never played with randoms seems tragic

[frozen cobalt]

The only good part about consoles current state is that we can brag that were better than pc players

[thin vale]

that happens with friends too

[lone cave]

Once had a guy try to yoink my item from a chest I bought, and when I managed to get it before him, he kicked me

[dire bane]

because we are

[hexed silo]

"oh, your overloading enemies only apply a singular orb? pathetic."

[frozen cobalt]

Am I insane for playing Rex in console?

[hexed silo]

yep

[thin vale]

no

[dire bane]

no

[frozen cobalt]

Good

[dire bane]

unless ur on e8

[thin vale]

i play it too (not biased opinion)

[frozen cobalt]

Lord that’s a horrifying idea

[meager niche]

Rex eclipse 8 console.. that would not be me....

[frozen cobalt]

Rex is god

[covert fiber]

Guys what do you mean rex is viable on e8

[frozen cobalt]

Best character in the game just use your life steal R and L and then mechanical secondary or life steal there both equal

[meager niche]

Yep

[covert fiber]

Just pick up and you are dandy

[meager niche]

After that find a cleansing pool and change them to pearls.

[covert fiber]

True....

[frozen cobalt]

Can’t wait for sotv where Rex will take permanent damage.

[echo saffron]

LETS GOO DLC UPDATE

[frozen cobalt]

And never heal

[hexed silo]

but then only be able to recieve one type of pearl per pool because console

[meager niche]

It doesn't matter, you will have the best ability of the game.

[frozen cobalt]

I’m so excited for the new bug that will make it so you can’t start the game

[hexed silo]

the little critters in the code

theyre only there to make us stronger

[meager niche]

Playstation on anniversary update release.

[frozen cobalt]

Oh I forgot wrong bug I said earlier but there actually working really hard(a year) to make sure that sotv will cause our consoles to detonate and kill us.

[last basalt]

It's all part of the lore, we will get an update after we find aliens for the first time.

[icy drift]

Now that's a coincidence, I'll reconsider buying the PS4 version

I just like playing on consoles more than PC

[lone cave]

Agreed

[novel escarp]

How do I do the current prismatic trial easier

For merc

[pale mountain]

Btw since I saw your message earlier. Gearbox already designed part of the sotv dlc, it wasn't just hopoo

[rocky oxide]

Is there a place to play 2 on the discord?

[pale mountain]

You mean the lfg channels?

[rocky oxide]

Idk I just got here

[pale mountain]

#lfg-playstation-ror2
#lfg-switch-ror2
Etc.

[pale mountain]

They made Aphelian sanctuary for example

[rocky oxide]

Xbox dead as hell

That sucks

[quartz bay]

idk if its possible with this seed, problem being stage 2 has blazing greater wisps as the teleporter boss

unless you find somewhere to hide out of bounds it might be possible

where you initially spawned theres a few chests with some helpful items

[round silo]

L

[novel escarp]

Damn

Oh well I’ll just try it again in three days

[sand hare]

HOLY SHIT

[quartz bay]

yee lol

[sand hare]

NEWS

[quartz bay]

truu

[novel escarp]

What?

[sand hare]

Took a nap
Saw announcements

[novel escarp]

Oh shi

I didn’t even see that that’s hype

[frozen cobalt]

Yeah but what part of sanctuary did they make the whole thing or just a part and did they do the art the code the concept, I’m not saying they did nothing I’m just saying that it’s entirely possible they made a pillar and hopoos statement that they helped make it would still be true

[meager niche]

how's the hopium going, fellow console players

[dire bane]

new news

[meager niche]

good thing

[dire bane]

ye

[torn fossil]

dracula nearly killed me here

[prime sky]

Watch out!!!!!

[thin vale]

lmao, top priority an year ago

imagine what happens to games that arent top priority

[short iris]

Honestly, I'm not a very positive person but.... I'm actually happy about today, it made my day

[prime sky]

This is the most actual info that we've gotten in multiple months

maybe even a year

[marsh compass]

Hot diggity dog

[chrome shore]

I’m still skeptical

[prime sky]

No reason not to be

[chrome shore]

Ya

[prime sky]

not like it was anything more than a
"We're still working on it" in terms of actual release date...

[chrome shore]

But this most likely means it won’t come out for a while

Like 2-6 months is my guess

[prime sky]

Late q4

[marsh compass]

Hope it's soon

[meager niche]

It doesn't matter how long it takes just keep us informed about the progress.

[quartz bay]

truuu

the fact that they stated they're gonna be more transparent about progress made me happy

[thin vale]

Lets see if they actually stick to it or if it'll just be "sorry delay again"

[chrome shore]

Gonna bet a pack of mnm that it’s the latter

[thin vale]

Its to be expected

[cunning needle]

Short version: no update, no date
Just them saying they'll be releasing news more frequently

[sand hare]

News

[quartz bay]

as well as a soft announcing there will be more ror2 content after the console revisions

[prime sky]

Maybe we could get a suncles pin??

Wait it's already pinned

nvm

[woven pelican]

Transparency

Finally

[hearty basin]

The goal is to not have to do that again, which is why we held on announcing a date today.

[chrome shore]

Console chat is finally getting something to talk about

[torn fossil]

no more off topic??
terrible!!!!!!

[brave beacon]

no more posting memes here 😔

[fluid rapids]

I do have a question: do we know what IS completed and what is NOT completed?

[torn junco]

That's lovely, cant wait to hear more news from you folks and have less console nihilism!

[woven pelican]

Mmm I don’t think it’s too much in which we can talk about tho

80% of the article was just “we’re sorry for the lack of transparency. We’ll do better”

[lone cave]

It’s way better than nothing

[eager bramble]

Finally!

NEWS THAT WE CAN TALK OF ALL OF 2 DAYS AT MOST but hey some news is better than no news

We've purgatory state of memes and others games not that we don't enjoy our fun shenanigans here in console. I'm just glad we've heard something now back to our regularly scheduled meme.

[quartz bay]

tbh i didn't even know a gearbox role existed until today lol

[frozen cobalt]

Gearbox role is just twitter blue if you have it every one is going to troll you.

[wintry ivy]

No I had asked that and they said they can’t answer

[white quarry]

Well

Got on the discord and didn’t expect that

I’m super sceptical to if they will actually be more transparent

[median willow]

How to lunar coins

[white quarry]

Farm beads

[median willow]

What's that

[dusky drum]

lunar item called beads of fealty

obliterate with it and something cool happens

[noble river]

Well what a pleasant surprise

[median condor]

its gonna take another year for sotv on console

[proven quiver]

Risk of rain returns before console dlc is becoming more real by the day

[short iris]

Wait wtf a gearbox member spoke in this chat thats actually crazy

[proud nymph]

I hope the rebuilding the game comes with the network code as well, because lately when i've played i just fall through floors sometimes (not common) but its been a bit more common lately

[prime sky]

Like 4 did

[short iris]

DAMN

pogging

[prime sky]

They said they were doing this like 4 months ago

[short iris]

”(not common)”

[proud nymph]

fortunately it isn't for me i guess lol, the only time it is, is when I play loader

[short iris]

how often do you play commando?

[proud nymph]

not that often

[short iris]

you can phase through like any terrain at will lol

[proud nymph]

I mostly play rex and acrid

[short iris]

ahh

[prime sky]

Acrid has the hops

Literally the NBA champion

[short iris]

console acrid aint never skipped leg day

[proud nymph]

when I get my better pc at some point this year ; I want to get it VR ready so I can do the super crazy jump while in VR

[short iris]

ror in vr sounds

umn

[prime sky]

Theres a PC mod for it I think

[short iris]

it sounds very motion sickness inducing

[dusky drum]

isn't that just what vr does

[short iris]

true…

[dusky drum]

i get motion sick from fucking beat saber lmao

[short iris]

but with stupid amount of movement speed

beat saber looks like so much fun i wish i had vr

[dusky drum]

it was fun but oh my god sensory overload

[short iris]

Mmm i can imagine

railgunner in vr sounds sick tho

i mean railgunner who? Never heard of that thing

[prime sky]

What's a railgunner???

[short iris]

i heard its like a modded character

yeah must be

[dusky drum]

its like a sniper?????

[prime sky]

sounds like sniper but mid

[short iris]

wouldnt it be so cool if there was a mod that made a wave based game mode

[prime sky]

Wish they would make more content focused on the void 😔

[short iris]

Yeah so true

man this game really missed dlc potential it wouldve been a lot of money

[dusky drum]

imagine if there was a mod that added like a commando but corrupted by the void and he had lasers??

[prime sky]

That would be ridiculous

[proven quiver]

Void commando we call that vommando

[short iris]

or or a mod that made an alternative final boss

[dusky drum]

what if it was like a big crab

[prime sky]

Gunner Turret Boss Fight

[proven quiver]

What about a mod that changes the physics engine and fucks up acrid's jump

[prime sky]

Or makes fire elites incinerate you for realism

[short iris]

WAIT @prime sky YOURE SPOOKI??? I REMEMBER YOU I LITERALLY NEVER REALISED THATS YOU THO

[proven quiver]

But no fr tho ive been playing acrid on pc and the new physics engine gutted his jump

[dusky drum]

what's different about it?

[proven quiver]

It just falls off midway through the arc and makes him drop like a loony toons character

[dusky drum]

bleh fuck that

[rose bolt]

holy shit qwp

[dusky drum]

gearbox keep the acrid jump funny pls

[short iris]

yo whats up gabbo

[rose bolt]

heyo

[short iris]

im assuming you heard the „news”

[rose bolt]

ofc

transparency, communication, updates

all we wanted
now just gotta wait for the update

[short iris]

I can wait another year if theyre transparent during that

[rose bolt]

ong

[short iris]

im so excited to break the new console version apart tho

glitch hunting is so fun

[rose bolt]

lmao

[short iris]

i break every game i play

[proud nymph]

I've seen worse games be put in VR, I guess the only weird thing that would be motion sickness is loader

or maybe getting punted by mithrix

[median willow]

So I have to waste an hour plus a day to get any lunar coins

I mean get 5-10

[covert fiber]

What

Just kill random enemies

[dusky drum]

or beat the game faster

play loader to grind lol

[covert fiber]

True

But getting them from random enemy drops also gets the job done

[proud nymph]

play eclipse

grind that way and get good then u get lots of lunar coins : )

[median willow]

That 2 coins like every 200 kills if even

[covert fiber]

Not always, depends on luck, the chances may seem low but they really arent

• 200 kills is not that much considering how ror2 is

[median willow]

They're not that high and if I wanted to do that if pick engineer and just stay on one stage for an hour

[median willow]

Idk how to play loafer

[dusky drum]

swing
big punch

thats it

[median willow]

I can't use the fucking swing

Like yea I know it's there I just don't know how to use it properly

It's not like I have her other secondary either

[covert fiber]

The other secondary doesnt help that much with swinging

It's just the same thing but deals small damage now

And fishes lighter enemies towards you

[median willow]

Yea

Said artificer or engineer is good tho

Still doesn't it only give u like 5-10 lunar coins

[pale mountain]

Way earlier

Almost a year ago

[dusky drum]

10 per win is a lot tho

just follow the 5 minute rule you'll get so many coins

[median willow]

I wish I could edit coins

I don't wanna have to like do this every 5 runs

[dusky drum]

so just don't rely on lunars

[covert fiber]

True

Lunars arent that fun anyway so like yknow, not being able to get that many of them every single run isnt that much of an issue

Unless you like, main the Heretic or something, but that one also gets quite boring after a couple of runs

[median willow]

I'm not trying to i just want lunar coins

[dusky drum]

so just play the game

but like why do you want them so bad if you don't use them

[median willow]

I can't beat mithrix

[dusky drum]

what are you struggling with

[median willow]

I was playing on commando multiplayer and still got one shot by him in his 3rd stage

[covert fiber]

Bazaar soups/vields maybe?

[median willow]

I still need to unlock the 57 leaf clover and gesture of the drowned

[dusky drum]

they cost a single lunar coin to access though you don't need loads

[covert fiber]

Indeed

[dusky drum]

lunars won't help you there you just gotta learn the fight

[covert fiber]

I mean, they can help you there, but probably wont be gamechangers

[dusky drum]

yeah

mind you the only good lunar for surviving at all is like transcendence

[median willow]

How am I not supposed to get one shot by him the only other attack I worry about is the attack where there's a bunch blue lights and he one shots u

[dusky drum]

the big spinny?

[stiff citrus]

I believe kurta is talking about the wells

[dusky drum]

uhhhh i have no idea what his attacks names are lol

[median willow]

Yes

[stiff citrus]

The small circles of fire he creates

[covert fiber]

Or corpsebloom

[stiff citrus]

That on the right

[dusky drum]

oh the pillar thingys

[median willow]

I can't even rush a run properly bro aaaaaah I hate thisx

[dusky drum]

just keep practicing!!

[covert fiber]

I mean, console mithrix is relatively hard to practice mainly because of the fucked up elite chimeras

[stiff citrus]

Yeah

[dusky drum]

pillar skip

[covert fiber]

Sometimes you either dont have the tools or they kill you before you have the chance

[dusky drum]

true

[median willow]

Lost again

[dusky drum]

might be worth practicing on drizzle or command? just to get to grips with the game more

[stiff citrus]

Also never try to beat mithrix with 0 items as captain, also getting there under 15 minutes as captain sucks

[covert fiber]

You can also just go drizzle and kill mithrix that way🫃

[dusky drum]

moral of the story is dont play captain

[stiff citrus]

Yeah, captain seems insanely good, but he isn't, I would more say captain is easier to play then some

[ruby cipher]

hacking beacon.,,,,

[stiff citrus]

That's if you have it already, which most people won't for a while

At least the Xbox and PlayStation versions are not as bad as the switch version.... I am saying this from over 600 hours of switch experience

[median willow]

Told command doesn't make me better

[covert fiber]

It doesnt really make you better, but it does make the runs easier

[stiff citrus]

Command will help you understand the small details of items a bit more

Especially if you stack some to over 100

[covert fiber]

Unless you always default to the same 4 items, which a lot of command players do🫃

Including myself🫃

[stiff citrus]

• gets over 300 squid polyps *

[covert fiber]

If only console had squid polyps...

[stiff citrus]

...

[covert fiber]

Console has no dlc remember?🫃

[stiff citrus]

You are joking right?

[covert fiber]

🫃

[stiff citrus]

I don't understand

[median willow]

No dlc

[prime sky]

Lol?

[median willow]

Guess in gonna stay in stage 2 for an hour farming artifacts as engineer

[covert fiber]

Console has no dlc, squid polyp is from the dlc🫃

[stiff citrus]

@covert fiber why are you trying to make me second guess myself, when polyp is one of my favourite items

[covert fiber]

Polyp legit isnt on console🫃

It is on pc tho🫃

[stiff citrus]

<--- this is in fact a base game item

[covert fiber]

Is it?🫃

[stiff citrus]

My head hurts

[cunning needle]

Hello console discussion

Discussing console?

[covert fiber]

🫃

[median willow]

I need to get gestures of the drone and now farming a stage for 1 hour as engineer I hate this

[stiff citrus]

Hot take: I think wake of the vultures is actually a really good item

[median willow]

I wonder how long I can stand still and not do anything as engineer

42 mins left. 😦

[pale mountain]

cringe take

[covert fiber]

Why are you farming a stage for 1 hour as engie🫃

Or why are you farming a stage for 1 hour in general🫃

[stiff citrus]

And why is it cringe?

[pale mountain]

Cause the item is cringe

[stiff citrus]

How so?

[pale mountain]

There is a reason most people skip aspects

The elite effects just arent that strong

[median willow]

So I can get gestures of the drowned

[covert fiber]

You can get it just by looping

[median willow]

Yes but than illndiec

[pale mountain]

Its a waste of time either way

[covert fiber]

Yep

And like, to make it easier and faster you would still need something to push the crabs off, by going for a loop it is easier for you to find something, unless you went with command

[pale mountain]

Just farm Mithrix 4head

[stiff citrus]

The reasons why I like wake, is because killing a blazing or overloading gives you a pretty large dps boost, glacial gives all your attacks a slow effect, Celestine is just glacial with turning all nearby allies invisible, and we don't talk about malachite

[covert fiber]

The thing is that elite effects are very mid

Apart from blazing and overloading

[stiff citrus]

Captain is great with Celestine

[covert fiber]

[stiff citrus]

The invis part of it, since a lot of the time as a captain, you are going to have a lot of drones

[covert fiber]

But isnt it kinda detrimental?

Iirc didnt it make it so that they dont draw aggro?

[stiff citrus]

Not really, because there is a glitch that if you kill 3 Celestine enemies, you too are invisible

[pale mountain]

Also the fking overloading that turns half your hwalth into shields, an actual nerf

And iirc you just have half your health missing when the effect ends

[stiff citrus]

I've never had an half my health missing after it ended

[pale mountain]

Then I just remembered wrong lol

[torn fossil]

it heals you when the timer ends but on eclipse healing is halved so youre left with 3/4 hp

[meager niche]

I don't know if i should continue the counting days because i am doing it just for fun not for sending a "f you" message to gearbox and because we got news yesterday i have mixed feelings.

Days since the last update of console and waiting for the game to be fix: 598

Days since the DLC was released on PC: 402

[pale mountain]

Ah right

[meager niche]

Mercenary is fun but I suck as him

Higher skill cap survivor.

[azure tinsel]

Anyone else hate the glitch where regular Beetles have an unfortunately common chance of just rapidly multiplying? They aren't hard or anything, it just lags my Switch so much

It's so bad that whenever I see Titanic Plains variant 1 I just reset

[torn fossil]

they've learned mitosis

[azure tinsel]

Praying for the Switch fix to release soon

[prime sky]

[[THEY'RE MULTIPLYING]]

[devout drift]

praying to who? providence? gearbox?

[azure tinsel]

Praying that Gearbox can fix Hopoo Game's mess

[devout drift]

🤨

[meager niche]

do the director decide to spawn multiple time waves of beetles because on stage 1 the director doesn't have a lot of credits and the only thing that it can spawn are little waves of smaller enemies and you got lucky to get multiple beetles waves in a row?

[pale mountain]

Also Hopoo has never done anything on console lol

[frozen cobalt]

I would they may be saying that they’ll be more open but until they give us an actual reason to not despise them we shouldn’t just let them off the hook.

[frozen cobalt]

Gearbox are the ones that screwed console.

[devout drift]

yeah

gearbox is fixing gearbox’s mess

[pale mountain]

How dare Hopoo do this to us🤬

[devout drift]

so true

it’s all hopoo’s fault
grrr

[meager niche]

[meager niche]

Goes to #ror2-discussion , tries to discuss something, your opinion is invalid, goes back to #ror2-console-discussion

[torn fossil]

self proclaimed kind community

[fierce juniper]

@meager niche lol at least they got a game that’s not x100 difficulty… they won’t understand our opinion without experiencing it themselves

[meager niche]

Yep

[buoyant ice]

Last time I said I have no reason to trust the team working on it and that I'm really disappointed in the unplayable state of the console versions I was told to "treat the bugs like features" I tried playing again after this advice and got one shot 5 minutes in, if they continue working with these guys I'm probably not going to buy any of their games moving forward.

I didn't think I was unreasonable but I got jumped on for this opinion XD

[fierce juniper]

@buoyant ice I’m already not buying the ror returns… but I will say that, while their lack of communication is an issue, hopoo is not wholly responsible the meses up version… that would be the porters mess up

[covert fiber]

Theres also the fact that the porters now own the risk of rain ip

[buoyant ice]

Exactly, my point was that if they work with gearbox anymore I'm not going to trust anything they release on console

[covert fiber]

Returns will probably be the last ror related game done by hopoo

[fierce juniper]

Yeah… that I think was a mistake in itself… sure let’s sell the game Ip to the people who messed it up. Makes it sound like hopoo doesn’t want to deal with the issue so they pawn it off

[buoyant ice]

I can't believe I was told to pretend the bugs are "fun challenging features" XD

[covert fiber]

I mean, they kinda are

[buoyant ice]

It's not fun getting one shot by a beetle 3 minutes in XD

[covert fiber]

Knockback being amped up by 10 is pretty fun unironically

[fierce juniper]

Lol I would’ve told them to buy the console version so they can show off that sweet skill they always be talking about having.

[covert fiber]

Just...dont touch the beetle? They are pretty slow and small

Tho if it is like a blazing parent or something then yeah those can piss off

Mainly because for those there's actually like little to no way to dodge them if they teleport on top of you

[fierce juniper]

Elite Lunar chimera can go piss off too the way they spawn in console version

[covert fiber]

Yeah those do suck

[meager niche]

Just kill them before they kill you.

[fierce juniper]

They basically make eclipse impossible unless you have a godrun or get an eccentric vase

@meager niche sometimes you don’t have a god run. And when there are 5 of the electric elite flying ones, “just killing them” isn’t as easy as it looks. And I have beaten all eclipses and played for years so I know what I’m talking about.

It’s just annoying is all lol

[covert fiber]

I have a feeling calvin's comment was ironic
