Hopoo isn't doing the console update, gearbox is

acoustic tundra

acoustic tundra
royal wagon
#

i don't think i was mislead like obviously they're gonna announce the new thing i'm just a little disappointed

winter tinsel
#

we still got a counter on how many days its been since sotv?

royal wagon
#

but man i am going to have a degree and a full time job and probably be engaged if and when this update happens

acoustic tundra
#

597 days

#

since void

winter tinsel
#

i thought thats since last console updste

#

still criminal LOL

acoustic tundra
#

console is about 900 ill check

Man

acoustic tundra
unique sequoia
#

Cant have shit in os

winter tinsel
#

i can't say im too confident with gearbox either, their history with ports isnt the best. i do hope its at least as stable as the current console build is.

#

Is Returns being made by a diferent Studio?

acoustic tundra
winter tinsel
#

yes

#

thats why i said at least

Dev name changes unrelated to console ror2 who would have thought

I would buy an explosive

Bombastic activity🥰

I'm actually finished

#

I'm don't with this game ain't i

#

A rorr release date before sotv

#

I'm done

frail merlin
#

Took long enough I haven’t played a real run for half a year

slate star
#

Bro I'm bout to lose my mind as well, you mean to tell me I finally get an announcement noti and it's for risk of rain returns. That for some reason has been made, tested, worked on and now releasing before we could get a single console update. I'm gonna cry tonight, next to a bottle of wine

coarse copper

#

Any new news about dlc for console?

hallow apex
#

we all are

light salmon
#

😦

#

Its been over a year :(((

Ik

hallow apex
hallow apex

#

Yeah ik, but they had released a pic of the update being "worked on" for console a while back

#

@hallow apex

#

And that's basically the last real news we've gotten

stiff bobcat
slate star
#

Thank you

stiff bobcat
#

No problem bro

slate star
#

July 18th

coarse copper
#

it's because the skillset needed to code for PC, vs the skillset needed to code for console ports, are two fairly different skillsets

#

the reason the console port was broken to begin with is because it's hard

#

it's not something Hopoo Games knows how to do

thin vale
#

AHAH

coarse copper
#

that's the whole reason Gearbox is doing it

thin vale
#

I CALLED IT YESTERDAY

#

well, sligtlhy amusing, back to normal day

coarse copper
#

called what

slate star
#

Lol

thin vale
#

called this out

coarse copper
#

wh

#

yeah I thought y'all knew that

thin vale
#

nah people were thinking it was for sotv

#

notice the chat youre talking on

coarse copper
#

the whole "it's coming tomorrow" is a joke about Returns

stiff bobcat
coarse copper
stiff bobcat
#

I wish I was 1,485 results

thin vale
#

You think this chat also hasnt said "its coming tomorrow" "its coming this week" "wdym, it launched yesterday" a million times?

pale mountain
frail merlin
#

Tbh I am much more hyped up for rorr than that beaten old sotv/rebuild

coarse copper
#

literally a 10th as much

#

and a good chunk of those are recent ones mentioning the dev name changes

slate star
#

Ong

pale mountain
#

We need to step up our game

frail merlin
#

We have plenty of people asking “when is it coming?” tho

stiff bobcat
#

Tomorrow guys I promise haha i got the 149th one let's go

thin vale
#

Hat when the chat with 40 or so regulars has less messages than the chat with 2000 or however many people are in there

frail merlin
#

Most people have left this chat we are not competing against the regular chats

coarse copper
#

that's not the point I'm making though

#

I'm saying that the whole "Tomorrow" thing isn't something from this chat

#

additionally, the devs changing their names aren't working on the port

coarse copper

frank panther
#

This seems like it's only fair considering the number of brass contraptions you've had to exterminate. I accept your terms

stiff bobcat
#

Ooooo

harsh flame
#

That is rather interesting

frank panther
#

This one doesn't need to use one of your questions up. The most challenging thing was likely integrating soooo many different online systems and making sure they were all done cleanly.

Every platform has differences in how they want to network players, doing it once is pretty hard, building a single branch that can serve all those platforms (even if you're not doing crossplay) is mega challenging.

harsh flame
#

…was? As in past-tense? As in you might be finished with the troublesome task that plagued you and your team?

frank panther
#

networking polish is a task that is never done, no matter what

#

squad is doing great though

prime sky
#

Progress is progress

harsh flame
#

True that! Regardless, I will take this tid-bit of verbiage and cope in my corner with it until I hear more! Keep up the good work Preston & team, and thank you for your responses!! frogmando

frank panther
#

(really just the team)

#

they're the heroes of this story fo sho

#

I'll pass it on though, I'm sure they'll appreciate the excitement

harsh flame
#

Well then, thank you and the team for the hard-work you’ve done up to this point DrizzleHype

thin vale
stiff bobcat
#

This is fantastic news

stiff bobcat
wintry ivy
#

I've got this

stiff bobcat
wintry ivy
#

Waste of a question and very redundant to ask

#

OK console community let's think this through what should the first question be

#

Cus I'll ask on behalf of the console community so I wanna see what you guys want to know

#

So I guess just dm me questions like genuine questions and not what's the connanical girth of commando

coarse copper
coarse copper
thin vale
#

We coping and joking about sotv coming out is older than rorr and thats for sure

wintry ivy
#

Feel free to ask here if needed

coarse copper
#

I think the one that's been on my mind is, what's the plan after the port? Namely, DLC next, or a different RoR game entirely

molten bough
#

BRO

#

I THOUGHT THAT PING WAS FOR US

odd violet
#

guys what if

#

they announce sotv aswell

#

this is totally gonna happen and is realistic

stiff bobcat
#

I mean technically it can happen

#

But it's a small chance

odd violet
#

no it will fucking not💀

#

if it happends im shaving my head in vc

stiff bobcat
#

Bro 💀

frail merlin
#

You all need to stop thinking the announcement ping is for us

wintry ivy
#

Yeah but I get to ask any 3 questions I want

#

And get honest answers

harsh flame
pale mountain
#

He would definetly be cooking hah

twin kernel
coarse copper
#

that would literally be them wasting money

#

and if it's one thing companies hate it's missing out on potential profits

twin kernel
#

so not completely impossible

tribal rover
#

Shots were fired

twin kernel
#

but you’re right anyways

#

i was just making a stupid lil joke

coarse copper
#

I know lol

#

just givin ya a hard time

twin kernel
#

ok lol

prime sky
coarse copper
#

not only did they make borderlands, they doubled down and kept doing it

#

proof that Gearbox will never give up in the face of adversity

twin kernel
#

such an innovative and inspiring company

winter tinsel
#

and yet, new tales from the borderlands and borderlands 3 shows that they arent perfect

frail merlin
#

Gearbox gotta be real stupid if they mess up with ror2 future updates

winter tinsel
#

its a gamble tbh, who knows if itll be good, especially with the current state of game releases

#

i should have more faith

harsh flame

I think the ammount of lead in your body is higher than the maximum threshold

#

Wut

mighty citrus
#

Anyone wanna play ror2 multiplayer

#

Im bored

pseudo kindle
#

Cool video games

mighty citrus
#

I have no reason to care about rorr until it comes to xbox lol, im not hyping myself up over a game I can't play

white quarry
#

I want to watch stuff on it

#

But then go back to waiting

mighty citrus
#

Like I wanna be hyped but its hard to when I can't play it, I have a switch but hell no 😭

white quarry
#

Get it on switch

#

It’s super optimised as I hear

mighty citrus
#

I don't trust it man, the switch sucks bro

white quarry
#

Apparently they had 20000 missiles on the screen and it only lost a few frames

#

I think your good

mighty citrus
#

That sounds alright, but then again I wasn't really a fan of the first game, I know this one is gonna be way better but if it costs alot I probably won't even get it

white quarry
#

I don’t think it will cost any more than ror2

#

It’s not a full price game

mighty citrus
#

I'll see when they reveal the cost

#

It'll probably release around Christmas right?

white quarry
#

We are yet to see

#

But maybe

mighty citrus
#

Maybe early next year

white quarry
#

Nah

#

They said it will release this year

mighty citrus
#

Atm I'm looking forward to watching the fnaf movie when it comes out

#

Oh alr

white quarry
#

And with an announcement in under a week it will come this year

mighty citrus
#

Sooo end of November/early december hopefully

white quarry
mighty citrus
#

Eh, i've been waiting for 6 years so I have to see it, already booked seats with my friends

coarse copper
white quarry
#

It won’t happen

#

But I like to think it will

mental raptor
mighty citrus
#

Xbox 😦

mental raptor
#

oh cant then

mighty citrus
#

Yeah 😭

hallow apex
#

HUH

#

what announcement

white quarry
#

Meant not that

hallow apex
#

oh

white quarry
#

Wait I did mean that

#

Rorr

#

Not dlc tho

tribal hare
#

Beans

white quarry
#

Check announcements

hallow apex
#

so there’s a confirmed announcement for rorr

white quarry
#

Yes

hallow apex
#

oh holy shit

white quarry
#

On the 25th

hallow apex
#

i didn’t see

#

unfortunately i’m not super interested

white quarry
#

That is when we find out the release date, not when it comes out

hallow apex
#

til it comes to playstation if it even does

dire shard
#

Damn dude I thought that announcement was about SotV

hallow apex
white quarry
#

Same boat

dire shard
#

This is suffering

hallow apex
white quarry
#

They are doing a livestream and revealing the release date on the 25th

#

And price + new survivor

hallow apex
hallow apex
white quarry
#

Yes

hallow apex
#

there is no SHOT that it comes out before SOTV

#

i’d actually be so sad

white quarry
#

It can

hallow apex
#

happy for those that are excited for the game but come on

dire shard
#

It will

white quarry
#

Unfortunate but just have to remember that they are different teams

hallow apex
white quarry
#

Not fair to hopoo to be shackled for things out of their control

dire shard
#

Can you imagine they finally release SotV on console and it’s a glitchy mess like the last update and they never fix it?

#

It’s a possibility!

white quarry
#

That won’t happen

hallow apex
hallow apex
dire shard
white quarry
#

They would not be taking so long if it were a mess

coarse copper
#

literally the entire point of the update is so that doesn't happen

white quarry
#

Plus doing a rebuild

coarse copper
#

that's the ONLY reason they're doing this is specifically to fix that

dire shard
#

Yeah but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. They didn’t plan for the last update to have all@the glitches it has

hallow apex
#

all of this time waiting has made me very skeptical

#

i want to believe

#

but i’m setting myself up to not be disappointed

dire shard
wintry ivy
hallow apex
#

keep those expectations low

hallow apex
white quarry
wintry ivy
#

Actually most bugs

white quarry
#

Almost all

#

Lots of bugs were to do with the physics

dire shard
#

People always find new bugs

white quarry
#

And they fixed those

hallow apex
white quarry
hallow apex
#

😈😈

white quarry
#

I will shoot a cosmic ray at your snake and make it go slightly faster

tribal rover
#

New physics is gonna feel so whacky

white quarry
#

It will

#

Adjusting will be weird

hallow apex
hallow apex
#

having to adjust is gonna be a rough battle but

#

anything is better than the state we are in rn

wintry ivy
# white quarry Almost all

Oh yeah your important to ror2 console so I'm able to ask 3 questions and get genuine answer what should 1 be cus we are ready have one taken that being what are their plans after the dlc

white quarry
#

It happened to that sm64 speed runner it can happen here

hallow apex
white quarry
wintry ivy
#

No I made a deal with a dev

wintry ivy
hallow apex
#

i’ve gaslit myself into hoping that another reason why they are taking so long is they making it crossplay

wintry ivy
#

Like if you scroll up for a bit there's a dev saying he'll answer any 3 questions If I complete something before halloween

wintry ivy
hallow apex
#

OKAY AND FOR THE RECORD SUNCLES i meant an announcement about console update not returns

hallow apex
wintry ivy
#

I've made an actual deal

hallow apex
hallow apex
hallow apex
#

oh holy shit

#

that’s pretty cool

wintry ivy
#

Yeah

#

So so far 1 question that being what are their plans after dlc

#

And I want @white quarry to have the second slot for the question if they want to take it

#

And I also want @meager niche to have the 3rd one if they want it

#

If not then others can have them

#

And I've already said I'm not gonna ask for a release date

#

Cus that's redundant

white quarry
#

I wanted to know how many people are on the ror team

wintry ivy
#

Ok

hallow apex
#

ror2 team is what i want to know

white quarry
#

Same thing

#

They all their recourses on console rn

wintry ivy
white quarry
#

No ror team is doing anything other than console

wintry ivy
#

OK so see if the ror team is only focusing on console or other things

wintry ivy
#

OK so I'm doing a genocide on brass contraptions for our lord and savior Preston

#

And he said I'd I get it done before Halloween I can ask 3 questions and get honest answers

#

And I can't ask for a release date

#

Because its redundant

thin vale
#

ask for his address and full name lmao

wintry ivy
#

I got you

meager niche
#

Okay, you want me to take the third question, right?

wintry ivy
#

Yes

#

If you don't have one you can like idk pass it on

thin vale
#

Take the question or double it and pass to the next person

wintry ivy
# wintry ivy Yes

Because I've already asked my question and I got an answer free of charge

#

Turns out hardest part about rebuilding was fixing the multi-player and all those bugs

coarse copper
#

But then you're just asking if they're multitasking

wintry ivy
#

Fair but I'll ask

wintry ivy
coarse copper
#

Yeah they already announced the single player bugs were basically all fixed

#

Like

#

Months ago

wintry ivy
#

Ik but like it's harder then Apparently people think

wintry ivy
coarse copper
#

People underestimate how weird and hard coding can be

#

It's like, a very similar deal to the whole "why doesn't Mojang just add all 3 mobs from the mob vote" situation

#

Where people conveniently forget that while modders only need to make custom mobs for their version of Minecraft, Mojang is actively developing for...... What, 7 versions of Minecraft now?

#

Bedrock, Java, Mobile, Chromebook, Pi, and like 10 different console ports that may or may not be synced up codeside (game is so old I doubt it tbh)

#

So if a modder ever says "hey why can't they X, it's soooo easy, I can do it in a day" like no man it's not always that simple

torn fossil
#

you mean they cant just think about something and it immediately pops into the game

#

i dont believe it

coarse copper
#

It may surprise you

faint temple
#

Well the frustration with the 3 mobs is that mojang has a whole team of people working on the game and specific people dedicated to adding new features to those ports. One modder can do it in 3 days therefor mojang should at the very least have a rough outline of all of them with 3 days for each port. But mojang takes a whole year.

# coarse copper Correct!

I think coding can definitely be difficult, but network coding is a completely different breed of dark souls difficulty

coarse copper
#

yep!

prime sky
#

Thinking is very hard when you're mad

hallow apex
coarse copper
#

Mojang doesn't have nearly as much of a monetary incentive to keep updating Minecraft

#

Honestly it's almost apples to oranges I just wanted to compare the base concept of "what's easy for you can be hard for others"

short iris
# wintry ivy Cus I'll ask on behalf of the console community so I wanna see what you guys wan...

I would ask "roughly how much % of the port is done" but that's an unrealistic question so what I'd really like to ask is, if theoretically, after the launch there are still MAJOR bugs in the game, will there be hotfixes. It is a very common theme in the history of this port that big bugs like aegis not working or blazing elites or moon chimeras or scythes only working on hitscan and so on not being fixdd until one or two major content updates, and it'd be really insightful to know if there will be hot fixes or bug patches once it releases and not a deathining silence the day after the update drops until the next one

coarse copper
#

I can already answer that, the answer is yes

#

RoR2 is gearbox's baby now, they're going to be taking extended care of it

short iris
#

I'd really like to belive that but I doubt how much anything actually changed for console after gearbox bought the franchise

#

Like... They've been working on the console port since 1.0 or maybe even for 1.0. Other than reputation I don't see why they'd suddenly specifically put on their big boy pants after it got bought off by them when they already announced the rebuild before that

hallow apex
fierce juniper
#

I think I have a theory…. I think dlc will drop the day returns comes out.

hallow apex
#

doubtful

fierce juniper
#

Why not? I mean… they’ve been done with single player bug fixes for several months… multiplayer ones would take a minute but not much longer I think.

#

Plus, financially, it would be a good move for them imo

thin vale
#

The good move finacially would be to ride the hype when sotv released

#

now a lot of people gave up ok buying it or quit

fierce juniper
#

@thin vale true true

#

But that boat has sailed

#

My guts telling me it will come out sometime around when returns does. Idk if I’m right, but I always stuck with my gut! 👌

short iris
# coarse copper I... Huh?

Iirc 1.0 on launch had a decent amount of bugs, and if I also recall correctly, there wasn't a single hotfix or bugfix between 1.0 and the 250 something days it took for a anniversary update to launch. The franchise wasn't bought by gearbox then but it was still gearbox doing it?

#

Yeah they bought over the franchise but how does that change console, at all

wintry ivy
fierce juniper
#

Honestly, I think at this point if single player bugs are done, they should go ahead and release.

Plus, I heard rumors that they are actually completely done with Xbox and PlayStation version and that they are just stuck on switch version now. They just aren’t releasing till they got switch fixed apparently.

#

But idk if that’s true… I just remember seeing it on a recent Reddit thread earlier this week.

short iris
#

Where would they even get that info from 😭

wintry ivy
#

I could ask

hallow apex
hallow apex
#

i don’t believe jack unless it’s from gearbox themselves

forest sinew
#

Tru jack is untrustworthy jill is chill tho

wintry ivy
#

@meager niche you fine with this question

meager niche
wintry ivy
#

I'll take that as a yes

wintry ivy
short iris
#

It's more like. If there are bugs in the new version, will they only be fixed after new content updates like dlc or will there be hotfixes for them like a week or two after launch

wintry ivy
#

Ah ik

coarse copper
#

I feel like you're setting yourself up for either an obvious or unsatisfying answer

#

They're not gonna just say "no actually we'll be abandoning the game now"

#

You'll either get "yes of course" or "we'll see!"

hallow apex

yeeeee, ~~discontecting ~~disconnecting from friends always feels bad. haven't played payday 2 thoooooough

#

^it's 1 am, I'm tired. I swear I know how to spell disconnecting

odd violet
#

Dude

#

16 December gonna be fire
That's when they announce sotv

#

Saw it in one of my visions

eternal summit
#

it wasnt just disconnecting from friends, they completely ruined the servers and made online unplayable for a good few weeks iirc

frank panther
#

oof

eternal summit
#

all because they wanted a quick buck from going on the epic games store

frank panther
#

sorry y'all had to deal with that one

eternal summit
#

nah payday 2 console didnt get that thankfully

#

we havent gotten an update in 5 years

white quarry
#

Diesel wasn’t ideal for that anyway

#

Diesel isn’t ideal for anything payday2

eternal summit
#

true that

#

then pd3 releases on console and you cant get past the loading screens lol

frank panther
#

man, I had no idea that the third payday just came out

#

I'm three whole paydays behind now

eternal summit
#

yeah it was around a month ago or so? i honestly dont remember

#

i was looking forward to playing it but yeah you couldnt even play it for the first few weeks and i dont feel motivated enough now to play it

#

roguelikes are awesome anyway i could play isaac all day

#

especially with the multiplayer update coming

frank panther
#

I'm back on a slay the spire kick

eternal summit
#

that makes me so insanely hyped

#

ohhh shit i love that game

frank panther
#

yeee

#

I just did the good ending with the last dude

eternal summit
#

idk if it counts as a roguelike but hollow knight has been my obsession for awhile now

#

watcher?

frank panther
#

sorry naw just the main three dudes I guess

eternal summit
#

defect then

frank panther
#

red guy was my last guy that I actually cleared it with

#

defect may have been the first actually

eternal summit
#

ironclad is my favorite for sure

frank panther
#

oof

#

silent

#

wins all day

eternal summit
#

true that

frank panther
#

I do that build where you just have a billion knives

eternal summit
#

but getting a billion block is really funny

frank panther
#

I've never done block on ironclad

eternal summit
#

london simulator

frank panther
#

may potentially be what I'm doing wrong

eternal summit
#

you need very specific cards to make it work but if you get them youre guaranteed to win pretty much

frank panther
#

it's the shield bash and the one that maintains block between turns ya?

#

otherwise it seems real hard to do damage

eternal summit
#

yeah that

#

theres another card but i cant remember it off the top of my head

#

entrench thats the card

#

it doubles your block

#

so just keep using that and youre invincible

thin vale
#

watcher ftw

#

Ironclad and defect are the chars i play the worse as, cant get them to wrong no matter what i try to do, silent and watcher are my besties but i still prefer watcher

Wait a minute does that mean not doing cross play for ror2 ever, or not doing it for the release of this coming update?

It means they don't know

#

Definitely not for this update

But they just, don't know about the future of that aspect

Truth be told I don’t rly care if it goes cross-platform or not. There is like 1 PC friend I have that I would love to play it with, and 7-8 console friends that I enjoy running it with

# hallow apex btw i appreciate what you been doing for the game

Absolutely hard same, good buddy. I know you guys probably put up with a lot of pressure and stress to release good quality at a good pace. Please know that you are rather appreciated @frank panther , you and the whole RoR2 team at GB, (even if we as a community aren’t always the best at expressing it lol).

it’s pretty much the final boss of doing risk of rain 2 runs

#

it’s hard as fuck at first especially on console when you die to bullshit more often than actual enemy’s

#

but if you keep going you’ll never want to go back cause base monsoon is just so easy

meager niche
#

Yep

hallow apex
#

it’s a great part of the game and stays a challenge throughout the entire experience

#

also eclipse only stacks to 8 per survivor so it isn’t infinite difficulty

#

you gotta do i believe 104 wins on eclipse on pc with dlc in order to get all characters to eclipse 8

#

personally for me it’s the best way to play

harsh flame
#

Oh damn @hallow apex this sounds rather rad

#

What are some of the modifiers?

twin kernel
#

You and your allies start at half health for the first modifier

harsh flame
#

Okay that’s pretty challenging ngl

twin kernel
#

it nerf’s engi turrets a lil bit

#

but it plays basically the same as monsoon

harsh flame
#

I see I see I see interesting

#

That’s rad as hell

#

I’m interested

#

I just remembered the name of the other mode

twin kernel
#

One that took me awhile to get used to was the fall damage one

harsh flame
#

Prismatic Trials

#

What are those?

twin kernel
#

it makes the damage +100% and lethal

#

so it can kill you

harsh flame
#

OOF

#

Yeah I bet I would take a while to adjust to that too lol

twin kernel
#

you get punished for making simple mistakes like that

#

also the 5th eclipse downs all healing sources

#

i forget by how much but i think its at least 50 %

harsh flame
#

Rrroooouuuugggggghhhhhh

#

That would have me messed up

twin kernel
#

it teaches you to not rely on healing too much

#

it’s better to invest in movement speed and dodge

#

which prepares you for eclipse 8

#

a portion of each instance of damage you take becomes permanent

#

resets every stage tho

prime sky
#

Crossplay would probably delay the game further

harsh flame
twin kernel
#

and the damage has to reach a minimum amount or it wont trigger the effect, so stuff like small ticks of bleed, void, or fire won’t ruin you

harsh flame
#

Gotcha that makes sense

twin kernel
#

It really stresses that you shouldnt be getting hit that much

harsh flame
harsh flame
twin kernel
#

I recommend going by eclipse level, not by character

#

so beat level 1 and move to level 1 on someone else

#

if one character gives you trouble, you can always go back to a different character

#

keep in mind that some characters will be easier than others such as loader or bandit

harsh flame
#

That makes sense honestly, don’t wanna max it out on one then start from the bottom on another

#

Thank you for all of this info @twin kernel commandoheart

hallow apex
#

you regen fast enough

#

fal damage is lethal which is miserable on console cause it’s so easy to die to “the planet” on console

hallow apex

# harsh flame I like the sounds of that a LOT! I’mma try it out tmo lmao

Eclipse is fun and cool but a big problem with it is that either some of the modifiers are completely redundant from an item or a character and B, most of it is... Admittedly a grind, the amount of successful runs you need to do alone is very icky, and it's super easy to get burned out on it as the more you play the game the more you realize the modifiers are kinda... Lazy? Some are good and meaningful but having half hp regen and half spawn in hp be completely seperate modifiers feels like just patting it out for more runs, especially dissapointing as the first modifier means you need to do 12 successful runs as every character on monsoon, it only effects engi... That's it

#

And having less gold earned just feels lazy ngl

Hello everyone, i have a question

#

Is the console version of this game really that bugged?

#

I mainly play single mode

#

I have been played since almost three weeks, and besides very minimum bugs.

The game just runs fine

frail merlin
#

Ignorance is bliss

pale mountain
# young spoke I have been played since almost three weeks, and besides very minimum bugs. The...

Checkout the pins in #ror2-bug-reports-console for the whole picture, but heres a few of the main ones

  • Blazing elite trails are not supposed to oneshot you
  • overloading elites are not supposed to stick 2 electro orbs per hit on you (that's essentially 200% damage a hit)
  • chimeras on commencement get spawned as a whole squad as soon as you leave the spawn area and spawn as anything but the elite type they are supposed to be
  • knockback is way too high, getting yeeted into the ceiling by Mithrix for 10 secs is not normal
  • the game doesn't reliably auto save, so beware when you unlock something
  • etc.

Planula is more worse than a yellow scrap👍

pale mountain

Those are just the first few that come to mind, Eclipse modifiers add quite a bit of extra trouble

frail merlin

And the extra 3725+ bugs multiplayer adds

# harsh flame No I agree I never really come across bugs in my experience

It's not your fault but It makes me sad when people say this because they are unaware how incredibly butchered the game is compared to its normal vision. Hearing things like "I haven't ever encountered any bugs" is so oblivious because it is Impossible and I mean IMPOSSIBLE to even beat a run without encountering something like the ending quote missing, or fire elites, or ship charge radius, or firing moon squad and so so so so so much more
