[median magnet]

damn

[proud nymph]

Sounds doable

[gleaming owl]

maybe if I had gotten any MOBILITY items

RNG said no, here's pennys...

Elixer, opal, some other c-- bundle of rockets

[proud nymph]

ok i can see larvae being an issue now that i think about it but thats all i think being problematic

maybe

[gleaming owl]

Larvae honestly miss me 90% of the time

[proud nymph]

then you should be perfectly fine 🤨

[gleaming owl]

know what my actual achiles heel is on Railgunner? Blind Vermin.

Those things do way too much damage because I either gotta line up the GOD shot or primary them down.

or waste cryocharge on one

when there's like, 5...

[proud nymph]

i forget is blind vermin the rats or the flying fuckers?

[gleaming owl]

Unless I also line up the perfect distance breaker concussive device

[median magnet]

honestly

[gleaming owl]

No, vermin are rats. Pests are the flying ones, which pests honestly dont bug me as much... they're STRONG... but just stronger wisps... Pop em.

[median magnet]

smg go fucking brrat brat brat yknow

[gleaming owl]

pests move so damn slow, just pop em...

[proud nymph]

you can use your mines and spam your regular primary to kill them

[gleaming owl]

the smg has the same problem as engie rockets, sometimes the homing goes in circles around the target but wont hit.

[proud nymph]

and hooks isnt bad at all that shit would eat up vermin

[gleaming owl]

yeah, but then I'm still missing my main dps, either way though, Im surprised my aim is any good at all to even enjoy railgunner. I sometimes pull off some neat snipes and just feel so proud... And then I proceed to miss something 10 feet in front of me 10 times.

[proud nymph]

You might be missing your new awesome dps but you gained another form of it

you could look straight down at the ground with it and that would likely slaughter any vermin around

[pale mountain]

I did the exact same thing before lol

Moderate oopsie

[gleaming owl]

I just had a thought... I may be onto something here.... Railgunner feels like a high tech parody of modern shooter games...
Concussive device... Grenade Jumping... Special's knockback letting you go even farther, rocket jumping... The auto aim of the smg primary, the 'high' accuracy of most players to where it almost feels like auto-aim... The ability to quick scope a RAILGUN which functions like a sniper rifle... Even down to the look... The big bulky back pack like C.O.D. soldiers, the big boots, the dark greenish-camo like colors... I may be crazy but it feels like it to me...

I got cheesed by stone titan stage 1... He placed the fist AoE on top of the rock I was hiding under to avoid laser and it popped me up INTO THE LASER TO KILL ME MIDAIR

because of the camera angle, the 2d texture on the rock was paper thin and not visible.

[upbeat ore]

She also has gears of War active reload

[gleaming owl]

Oh right I forgot about that... I love this character.

[quartz bay]

i think yall just suck at the game

commando so easy

me playing commando like

[torn fossil]

commando makes things fly everywhere and numbers pop up very good character design

this is chat for consoles like xbox and playstation not the little pc debug thingy

[shut acorn]

oh whoops

mb

[worthy plinth]

Just did e4 and e5 both in a row, wish me luck on e6

Cause everyone other than engineer has yet to see any gameplay in eclipse from me lmao

[coral timber]

Omg yes

I think one decision i made on accident lost me my bandit eclipse run

So i was on stage 5 with a wax quail for a pillar skip and a fuel cell to boot i had pretty good loot and felt comfortable fighting mithrix however once i was finished with the teleporter i saw what looked like an emergency drone and ran over to it and clicked without thinking after that i just said skrew it and went to mithrix and proply died to a perfected flimbo (wisp)

[tepid vine]

Take cover when it's about to do the brrrr attack

[twin igloo]

ngl I kinda think the same way

even with the high gamble of actually procing I just need it a little

[twin igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/risk-of-rain-ror2-engineer-risk-of-rain2-engi-gif-27505176

oml what is this gif

love dat shi

I need a small one

[jolly dagger]

how can engineer get his bungus if he's throwing down

[worthy plinth]

Bro I'm gonna be honest

I am nearing closer and closer to e8 on engineer

And I still haven't unlocked rex

Cause my stupid ass is too lazy

[meager niche]

how viable is looping on the switch version? as in at what point does performance decide to stop working

[jolly dagger]

like loop 4+

but it starts lagging balls on loop 2 lmao

[worthy plinth]

Just beat eclipse 6

1 more eclipse level to go before I take 40% permadamage

[twin igloo]

although idk engi might suffer

also fall damage still exists

[quartz bay]

loop till your hearts content. ill give credit where credit is due gearbox made this game resilient, it gets laggy but it refuses to crash

[twin igloo]

the game ...-<><P{...... ,)L ..;p+++>?>,,----...>>_--

And then there's just the guitar solo

lmao

very cool

[quartz bay]

the game literally holding on by a thread and it refuses to let it go lol

[twin igloo]

average gup moment

The music's too fire to let the game crash

if you were even listening to it

[meager niche]

damn, nice

[twin igloo]

why am I here still this game has consumed my soul

I know so much about it and still mediocre

mirn vs wungus rap battle wtf am i spitting

but yeah that's really impressive how long the game can hold itself despite it crashing when you touch the sound settings

[frail merlin]

I did a crash speedrun with the new setting bug I’m convinced no one has beaten me

[worthy plinth]

I have learned something from my first eclipse 7 run

Don't do alloy worship unit

[frail merlin]

Ah yes I remember that

[worthy plinth]

Yeah awu definitely seems to be the most affected by e7 out of all the monsters I've encountered throughout the run

Cause holy shit this guy has a ton of shields lmao

[frail merlin]

Yeah it just get annoying like I used to like the stage but now I’m more of a the mushroom stage guy like the crab are so annoying

[twin igloo]

Can't believe they actually made grove decent

(It's still a pain but)

[gleaming owl]

I'm beyond mad... a 70+ hour run dies at Mithrix because on final phase I got beaned by a shuriken. when he suddenly changed target from my drones to me.

[wooden agate]

https://tenor.com/view/risk-of-rain-2-mithrix-ror2-ligma-gif-602690108483393730

[short iris]

Honestly have not crashed once yet

[short iris]

HOW LONG

[sleek rose]

SURELY you mean 70 minutes, aint no way you were in a run for nearly 3 days

[rigid oak]

Where's the year long run

[viral ember]

A story in two parts

Lesson learned, don’t fuck with the overloading worms

[tender shoal]

merry christmas

[frail merlin]

Still won’t stop me from doing shrine

[viral ember]

Legally obligated to do shrines no matter what

[meager niche]

Gigachad mentality, see shrine, pop it.
||Especially with ||

[frail merlin]

is the most forgettable lunar item

[meager niche]

I love that thing

I've had like more than 20 at once

Eulogy zero is my favorite item because it allows you to delve into chaos

Without using all your coins

[dire bane]

my favorite lunar is essence bc its stupid broken on mando

[sleek rose]

The other survivors trying to stop me popping the 5th mountain shrine on that stage (impossible)

[meager niche]

I like all the lunars

[frail merlin]

In multiplayer we race to get the most mountain shrine popped

[meager niche]

But eulogy is the best

[frail merlin]

[dire bane]

only if that rorr artifact wjere montain shrines stacked between stages was in ror2

that would be fun

[frail merlin]

All we can do is pray it get added

Or well mods

[dire bane]

i doubt gearbox will make an internal mod launcher for the game

[meager niche]

Ive had some seriously Insane hp with stone flux

I like that one

[frail merlin]

Yeah like the health helped you survive any better just a slow turtle

[meager niche]

I mean I won the run...

[dire bane]

the gameplay with stoneflux is so💤

[meager niche]

Yeah true

[wooden agate]

You always use a shrine of the mountain
No matter what

[dire bane]

i do it unless im coping badly

once i had to cope for 70 minutes on 1 stage

[frail merlin]

Me after taking 20 min to kill a boss because I did some mountain shrine only to get 4 squid polyp

[meager niche]

Lol

[dire bane]

i cant seem to escape from montain shrines

[meager niche]

True

[dire bane]

feather and bands are the only ones that stack well (uless polylute)

surikens

[zealous aspen]

?

[wooden agate]

[dire bane]

guilotine isnt that good(stacks like teddy bears), fuel cells are meh, rasor wire sucks and green printers are to rare

[frail merlin]

Fuel cell do stack well like you were speaking of stacking well didn’t we so even if item are bad they still stack well

[dire bane]

ig

[zealous aspen]

razor wire bad??? whaaaat

[wooden agate]

I wouldn’t say razor wire sucks
definitely good on the characters that are almost guaranteed to get hit

[dire bane]

getting hit to activate an item ussaly means its bad

[zealous aspen]

free instant explosion of lesser wisps and most flying enemies on taking damage

[wooden agate]

And razor can proc stuff right?

[proud nymph]

yes

[zealous aspen]

not really lol because like with a chunk of the cast ( (melee) ) that are kind of guaranteed to eventually take SOME damage it helps just deal more damage

[dire bane]

merc is invinceible 90% of the time

[wooden agate]

Oh yeah especially if you have the right on hit effects
You basically have a do not touch me zone

[proud nymph]

Razorwire is so helpful if you lack DPS

[zealous aspen]

and for the 10%???

you will still be taking some chip damage as merc

[wooden agate]

One hits all it takes

[proud nymph]

and if you lack dps aoe is a godsend, particularly gasoline but all works

[dire bane]

not that hard to dodge 10% of the time

[zealous aspen]

and razorwire is Really helpful on him because it's more AOE + damage + some procs maybe

[jolly dagger]

razor wire is mid

[zealous aspen]

you could also just not need to dodge anything because melee enemies are fodder on mercs and stuff like blind pests or wisps get fucking gutted by razorwire lol

[dire bane]

razor wire only deals 160%

[jolly dagger]

if you have it you have it

but turning into scrap for a better green is usually preferable, because it's not hard to be a better green

[dire bane]

thats half of 1 veind primary

[zealous aspen]

okay it does like several 160% damages

for one instance of damage

[frail merlin]

Razer wire are only for wisp

[zealous aspen]

have you like played rex or used hellfire tincture + razorwire builds before

[frail merlin]

Have you played on eclipse

[jolly dagger]

tbf those are niche

[dire bane]

way too situational

[zealous aspen]

I would rather play sacrifice with command on drizzle than eclipse (both equally not fun) sorry buddy

[proud nymph]

rex is fun on eclipse :)

[frail merlin]

Someone clearly isn’t enough of a masochist

[jolly dagger]

wtf

[proud nymph]

Actually tempted to do full plant rex on eclipse cause then that would be a real challenge as rex

[zealous aspen]

eclipse doesn't seem worth the effort of playing considering the only thing interesting about it needs you to play 7 runs prior

[dire bane]

eclipse does take like 120 hours hours at least to finish lmao

[jolly dagger]

if you play monsoon, why wouldn't you like eclipse lol

[dire bane]

unbalanced

[jolly dagger]

not really

[dire bane]

its fun but its pretty unbalanced and adds new bugs

[sleek cairn]

merc guaranteed to get hit is crazy lmao

[dire bane]

also its hell on console bc of fall dmg

[zealous aspen]

unbalanced not interesting and if I think I started playing it it would suck all the fun out of the game

[frail merlin]

Even better

[sleek cairn]

bro got dashes and iframes for days, not getting hit is exactly what he's good at

[jolly dagger]

just don't take fall damage bruh

[frail merlin]

I like Eclipse because it challenging in the good way I wouldn’t call it unfair but definitely unbalanced because it’s supposed be unbalanced

Well if we are ignoring Rex

[dire bane]

its onlu unfair when you use whirlwind and somehow take a billion falldmg to the wall

[sleek cairn]

i don't think it's really unbalanced as a whole tbh

[zealous aspen]

well why would you use whirlwind

[jolly dagger]

the modifiers aren't even detrimental

[zealous aspen]

like ever

[sleek cairn]

the balance is just much different than non eclipse due to the modifiers themselves

i wouldn't call it better or worse though

[frail merlin]

Well I forgot about that (haven’t done merc eclipse)

[dire bane]

invalidates a third of the items, some playstyles and rex

[jolly dagger]

e6 and maybe e7 are probably the only bs ones

[proud nymph]

it does not invalidate rex at all

[dire bane]

its invalidates half of his moveset at least

[sleek cairn]

that kinda just comes with difficulty though

[frail merlin]

Nah the Rex eclipse is totally unfair and I don’t even wanna touch it

[jolly dagger]

saying healing is invalidated isn't even true

[proud nymph]

healing is kinda bad on eclipse but thats not my point

[jolly dagger]

you still need it lol

[sleek cairn]

as in rex for example still isn't very good in monsoon, it just doesn't really matter, cuz you don't get punished for that

[proud nymph]

rex can easilly get through the climb

[dire bane]

its halfed and perma dmg exists ( makes the items way worse and ruins balance)

[frail merlin]

All you can’t do is rely on healing eclipse teach you how to dodge and adapt to a lot of things resulting in being very good at the game

[sleek cairn]

yeah but i taking perma damage to use his abilities is goofy

and the ones that don't damage you are just bad in comparison

[dire bane]

eclipse was easy when i first tried it bc i used to go for the lowest dmg taken in runs

[proud nymph]

maybe so but thats just a thing u gotta work around

[dire bane]

i think i took only 1000 dmg in 1 run before eclipse

[sleek cairn]

well yeah but it still means he's worse off than every other survivor

[frail merlin]

Slightly delusional

[proud nymph]

i know i am

Idk, rex just makes the game easy to me

like very easy

even on high eclipse

[sleek cairn]

congrats?

[median magnet]

What

[frail merlin]

Are we even playing the same game

[jolly dagger]

the one rex player

[frail merlin]

We found it

[median magnet]

It

[zealous aspen]

well who did rex with eclipse here

[sleek cairn]

i don't find eclipse rex much different than mando and stuff tbh

except .5 proc coef lul

[frail merlin]

Only one I remember doing Rex eclipse was I think Calvin

[sleek cairn]

i've done it

[frail merlin]

As someone who did commando e8 and attempted Rex eclipse it’s like hell to heaven

[sleek cairn]

can't relate

[median magnet]

Its crazy how commando is actuslly worse than rex

[frail merlin]

These hot takes are getting to wild

[sleek cairn]

i mean mando obviously scales better with procs

but i didn't find them to be much different difficulty wise

[sleek cairn]

if rex had 1.0 proc coef i'd agree

[zealous aspen]

anyways my biggest gripe with eclipse is that it kind of just guts some of the silly wacky builds and items in the game (plant , , etc etc) which are some of the more interesting parts of game imo

[sleek cairn]

lol

[proud nymph]

i also like to think that, the only bad rex ability is the alternate special

[frail merlin]

Man forgot commando mobility and shotgun meanwhile Rex in e8 has like his primary utility, trashy alt secondary and if you are feeling risky his special

[zealous aspen]

yeah harvest is poopie dookie

[jolly dagger]

why are you obsessed with self damage

[zealous aspen]

I love REX

[jolly dagger]

the razor wire thing to this

[frail merlin]

He is either playing on command or monsoon

[jolly dagger]

the masochist gamer

[median magnet]

Ayo?

[proud nymph]

ok i should mention im pretty shit at every other character except like

MUL-T and acrid, and maybe huntress

[zealous aspen]

it's probably just me projecting my experiences with REX onto other characters but playing them made me appreciate cool wacky on damage items more

[sleek cairn]

rex mobility and alt fires are p good too idk wym

[frail merlin]

You haven’t even gotten good on Rex and you call eclipse easy I’m losing it😭

[proud nymph]

no im good at rex

[sleek cairn]

both

[frail merlin]

Command on monsoon dizzle what does it matter both are easy

[sleek cairn]

real

[proud nymph]

i dont like command

[sleek cairn]

eclipse defo does restrict playstyles but at the same time monsoon is just like

[proud nymph]

and eclipse is fun

[sleek cairn]

boring easy

[frail merlin]

Anyone with a high playtime will eventually hate command

[meager niche]

Facts.

[zealous aspen]

command is boooring I don't like it unless I'm doing silly shit like exclusively stacking one item of each rarity or some shit the only artifact I play with is swarms because it's fun to like maul hordes of enemies

[jolly dagger]

command is the sleep button

[proud nymph]

its annoying cause all my friends who play want to play command

[dire bane]

im based and think mando is better than loader

[sleek cairn]

they'll get over it when they play more tbh

[dire bane]

i hated it at like 50 hours lmao

[sleek cairn]

playing command is defo a lot of fun when you first start playing

[proud nymph]

theyve been playing as long as i have

[sleek cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/genshin-impact-genshin-impact-cat-underwater-gif-21858470

[dire bane]

i never liked command

[frail merlin]

Same I started doing multiplayer and got bombarded by command and got a early hate don’t think it has 50 hour tho

[jolly dagger]

yeah i always thought it was bs

[sleek cairn]

i remember mostly playing it for unlocks

[dire bane]

mine was also bc of multiplayer ( why do so many switch players like command )

[jolly dagger]

they're babies

[sleek cairn]

ppl in random queue will almost always play drizzle command

[zealous aspen]

because command is easy and they get to do cool minmaxy stuff or whatever

no it's always monsoon/rainstorm sacrifice command in random queue from my experience

it stinks

[dire bane]

im not sure about other lfgs but the switcj lfg has so much command

[zealous aspen]

sacrifice is like the most egregious artifact though especially in multiplayer it grinds my gears

[frail merlin]

It’s because the multiplayer side is just in a endless cycle where the we get a bunch on beginners and everyone who starts to dislike command just don’t do multiplayer leaving only newbie’s with their command

[zealous aspen]

like command is understandable because it's like a silly build testing do funny synergies with it thing but sacrifice is so like

[frail merlin]

I heard Xbox has a lot of command don’t know about ps tho

[dire bane]

people say it helps everyone have the same amount of items when iy literally does the oppisite

[zealous aspen]

boring sacrifice makes me fall asleep mid stage it's the worst

[jolly dagger]

true

[proud nymph]

im kind of lucky that my pc friend (who also exclusively wants to play command) i managed to convince to turn on a mod to turn every item into the void potentials but even then that shit is so easy, i know this is pc but like same thing, command is so boring

[sleek cairn]

xbox lfg does yeah

there's always some ppl doing monsoon no artifacts tho

[jolly dagger]

i met someone who was insistent on never turning off sacrifice, it was insane

[frail merlin]

Yeah same it’s like really rare last time I did one has like a month ago

[dire bane]

there are so little console players on lfg that you dont really have the option to choose another group

[frail merlin]

I’ve seen some insane unreasonably argument on why keep command and sacrifice like someone said it was a quality of life😭

[zealous aspen]

idrgaf what artifacts are being used in multiplayer UNLESS it's sacrifice

[frail merlin]

I have gained the power to sniff out command player so I just straight up ignore everyone who play on command

[sleek cairn]

quality of life is actually when i can win 100% of the time with no hiccups 🤓

[proud nymph]

I also loathe sacrifice more so than any other artifact

[jolly dagger]

it's so scary

[dire bane]

i havent done lfg in like a year ive only played multiplayer with like 2 friends

[zealous aspen]

sacrifice is so boring I hate it

[dire bane]

too many new people to learn if they use command to go back to lfg

[frail merlin]

Fair enough but I still am pretty active in the lfg

[dire bane]

swarms is also bs bc with 1 gasoline you win the run

[zealous aspen]

there could've been so many like more interesting artifacts like something that makes it so like all enemy credits are doubled but all credits for chests and drones and shrine or whatnot are doubled or printers and scrappers are removed but all chests are either multishops or damage utility or healing chests or SOMETHING

and we got sacrifice

[dire bane]

evolution is cool

[frail merlin]

But the rorr side have showed great teamwork with no command in sight only if the coop scaling hasn’t so broken

[sleek cairn]

there's some cool ones

would be neat if dlc added more

[frail merlin]

I personally prefer doing metamorphosis every now and then

[dire bane]

is that the random surivior one

[frail merlin]

Yep

[dire bane]

thats cool

[frail merlin]

🤝

[sleek cairn]

that one is like the only way i can not get bored while looping

[dire bane]

honor+evolution is kinda fun yet painful

[proud nymph]

i'd love a sort of controlled stage randomisation artifact, where you could spawn in abyssal depths and then, idk, siphoned forest the next stage and so on, but on stage 5 you reach Sky Meadows and if u want to go mithrix u can straight up go mithrix or loop again 🤔 that would be interesting with dissonance

[zealous aspen]

evil command: get command essences as you normally would but the first three separate items you grab in a rarity (examples, , , , etc) will be cataloged and all further command essences will be transformed into void orbs only containing those items

[frail merlin]

Also I’ve been wondering which version is harder pc or console because console has big lag and double fall damage but the good stuff are xi construct not being able to aim larva,infestor and a lot more clipping through the floor and dying

[dire bane]

id say its very run to run dependent

[sleek cairn]

well pc has less bugs in general atm and free bands on aqueduct so prob that

[dire bane]

you can have a run without dlc monsters for the most part

[frail merlin]

What

[dire bane]

they are the most affected by the console bugs

[frail merlin]

Ah yeah most bug are dlc exclusive but like the larva one has very disappointing cause you dodge once and they fall through the map and die

[sleek cairn]

would be cool if they let you use artifacts in eclipse after you complete it

[dire bane]

stage dependent actually

[frail merlin]

Isn’t the stages a part of the dlc

[dire bane]

yea

with dlc off console is harder

with dlc on idk

[frail merlin]

Ah I see

But I say the lag alone should make pc the easier

[dire bane]

lag still exists on bad pcs

[frail merlin]

Yeah assuming it’s a good pc

[sleek cairn]

you don't get much lag on xsx either

[frail merlin]

Like the only thing I got to compare pc and console is all the YouTube ror2 content

[sleek cairn]

lol

[proud nymph]

Well if u ever need something compared lmk

[dire bane]

the steam deck doesnt lag much so its probably not that hard to find a decent pc for ror2

[proud nymph]

I got both

not a steam deck

[dire bane]

i dont have dlc on my switch so i canr really compare it

[proud nymph]

Steam deck is a bit different cause it runs on linux

[dire bane]

linux doesnt affect the game

[proud nymph]

it can do

but only in minor ways

Unless your an unlucky person then your game is fucked lol

[frail merlin]

Fair enough but I don’t need any more comparing

[dire bane]

ror2 has a very good linux port

i havent found anything crazy on it

[proud nymph]

maybe it was weird for me because i was testing it on an old computer at the time, oh well. i would like a steam deck to play risk of rain on at some point though

[dire bane]

moding is surprizingly easy

[proud nymph]

yes r2modman is great for that

[dire bane]

time to go back talking about consoles lmao

[proud nymph]

yes

so how are you all finding gup on console

[dire bane]

i didnt get dlc but id assume it lags the game after a loop

[proud nymph]

once when i was playing with my friend like 5 gup spawned around him and they all attacked and he no longer existed

[dire bane]

i didnt buy dlc bc i dont touch my switch anymore lmao

respawning into gups after falling is the most rough thing

[frail merlin]

I didn’t find the gup they found me

[proud nymph]

hi gup!

[median magnet]

huh

commado better than loader? yea i could see that

[frail merlin]

You know I would disagree if I wasn’t the average commando main

[dire bane]

commando is just so consistant

[gleaming owl]

I meant 70 minutes yes... i was on rainstorm and everything hit level 99...

[meager niche]

Expected to reach level 99 on enemies on rainstorm with that amount of time.

[ebon gust]

idk about y'all, but I've never experienced much lag with ror2 on console

(I play on series s)

I've had like 5 gups on my screen at once, all dying
But there wasn't lag, or at least enough to be extremely noticeable

[frail merlin]

Wait no that don’t makes sense in 61 min in monsoon the enemies lvl is 60 and in that small amount of time they reached 99 lvl on rainstorm!?!?

Here’s the example

[meager niche]

He may have reached mythrix on stage 10, 70 minutes because every time that you go to a new stage the difficulty increases multiplicatively, I don't remember the exact amount but in short, the more stages/loops you do the spike of difficulty after finishing each stage is higher.

[frail merlin]

Ah ok I see meaning he had 7 min between stages I would never

[meager niche]

[worthy plinth]

I don't have pillar skip on e7, wish me luck cause I'm gonna have to pray

The only thing I have on my side is that I have a disgusting bleed build going, but even then, pillars are horrible

Got past pillars

Died to pizza

[meager niche]

Which survivor were you playing?

[worthy plinth]

Engineer

I haven't even tried eclipse with any of the other survivors

Even though I know engie is pretty bad on eclipse

[pale mountain]

Actually engie is just bad

[meager niche]

Welp, right now pizza is weird because of the audio glitch but if you ignore the audio and react to each slice you can easily avoid pizza if you have muscular memory but yeah engineer is bad if you don't get enough movement speed.

[worthy plinth]

I wouldn't argue that, engie on base monsoon difficulty utilizes most items the best out of all survivors

It's just that a lot of his synergies are kinda neutered with eclipse (bungus, nkuhanas, aegis, etc.), and fall damage is a threat now

It's why I use mobile turrets for eclipse and stationary for base monsoon

[pale mountain]

And makes up for it by having the worst primary created by humankind

I will pay Gearbox 50$ for a dlc that just replaces his primary with something normal

[worthy plinth]

His primary shouldn't be your primary, your harpoons should. You charge your primary for larger targets, and use your harpoons for basically everything.

I'll concede that it isn't good, but it's still usable

[pale mountain]

Yeah charge the primary that gets released it on it's own cause they can't even give him the captain privilege

Gearbox better fix that

[worthy plinth]

The way I look at it is
Use harpoons
Use mines
Use the 1-2 harpoons that recharged by then
Start charging your primary

I repeat that your primary is not your primary, your harpoons are.

If you use your primary as a primary, you're not playing engineer correctly

[quartz bay]

speaking of pizza, yesterday pizza was being extremely buggy for me. it kept disappearing and i almost lost a goated run

Engineer is a weird character. Where most characters revolve around their primary like commando, bandit, huntress, etc, having their other abilities be extensions of their kit, engineers primary and mines are extensions of his kit. Remove those 2 abilities and you still got your 2 primary means of damage (turrets and harpoons)

[frail merlin]

Me who plays without audio

[meager niche]

skill issue

You should report it on the bug report forum.

[worthy plinth]

Gearbox, the company that's able to magically make a buggy game buggier than it was before

[frail merlin]

The hell are you on about this bugs are nothing compared to the last the game became so much easier because of the dlc and fixed bugs

[worthy plinth]

Sure, fire doesn't do crazy damage and the ship charging sequence isn't fucked anymore, but I notice so many more bugs than I did with the anniversary update

While those 2 bugs were the only ones I truly noticed with anniversary update

[median magnet]

what is teh funniest red to stack

[frail merlin]

Knockback bug, spawning to many elites, double overloading orbs, bands proc way to often, planula being more useless than a yellow scrap, all the multiplayer bugs, drones being annoying and a bunch more that I forgot about

[worthy plinth]

Wait, I thought drones being annoying was just a part of the game lmao

[frail merlin]

Sure the bug may be more noticeable but it’s sure ain’t more buggy like some of the bug was so severe that it could just end your run

[worthy plinth]

Also, how did bands proc too often

[frail merlin]

Bandit primary could proc bands

[worthy plinth]

So basically

Bandit was absolutely busted in anniversary update

And I never knew about it because I don't play him

[frail merlin]

Where the hell did you get that conclusion because the band proc so much you couldn’t use your desperado to get some real damage

[quartz bay]

oh yea tru i keep forgetting, thanks gor reminding me

[jolly dagger]

crowbar affected band procs, it was so annoying

[median magnet]

i found my answer and its botteled chaos

[worthy plinth]

Well I figured you meant it bypassed the timer or something, bandit m1 procing bands is an oversight not a bug 💀

[frail merlin]

I would have speedrun the eclipse if that was the case

And this bug didn’t effect only bandit it was everyone

[wintry ivy]

Can confirm no reason huntress critting on base primary should proc bands

[quartz bay]

that used to happen pre console rebuild iirc if you stacked a few crowbars lol

[frail merlin]

Well I still miss the double dip bug

[quartz bay]

theres quite alot of bugs i miss

[worthy plinth]

Also, I'm 99% certain that the dlc increased the chance for red items

Cause I get so many more reds than before

[jolly dagger]

i miss the pot rolling bug, so sad they patched it out

[quartz bay]

some runs i dont get a single red

[frail merlin]

[worthy plinth]

Maybe I just have dream luck or something, but I absolutely see more reds in my runs than with the anniversary update

[torn fossil]

my second item i collected in my first dlc run was bottled chaos

[frail merlin]

Here’s a answer NO big chest are 20% and normal chest 1%

[worthy plinth]

Bro I'm gonna be honest it feels like I get a red out of a chest/chance shrine at least once every run

[frail merlin]

Just you being lucky

[worthy plinth]

Maybe the games just being merciful towards me because I'm engineer playing on eclipse, but even then 99% of the time it's either alien head or brainstalks which suck

[median magnet]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MY RUN

VOIDLING YOU FUCK

[pale mountain]

Never void unless you ling

[median magnet]

i did ling

but my thing wasnt ling enough

[twin igloo]

ah I see

I would've said wake but that makes far more sense

behemoth isn't exactly tactical to stack but it's funny

until your eyes hurt thenit's not funny anymore

[twin igloo]

alien head on engi... sucks?

what are you smoking

brainstalks I can get because most of his kit takes time to actually lock on/prep

but alien head

nah

anyway time for my first robomando run 🍷

pc btw

[worthy plinth]

You'd still be better off with bandolier

The only exception is mithrix

[twin igloo]

bandolier is constantly slept on you compare that

it's so good so frequently

[pale mountain]

Especially in the Mithrix fight

[twin igloo]

but alien head gives a real good boost to engi

viend is insane with it though

3 seconds on secondary and utility

[worthy plinth]

Alien Head is only good in the mithrix fight when compared to bandolier, and even then, it's possible you could have a fmp build going if you get an unlucky run going without a pillar skip

I like to remind you that bandolier is a green item and does better in just about all other scenarios

[iron crag]

So what do people think of Directive: Harvest?

I think its decent

[twin igloo]

which one is dirrective again

[iron crag]

The fruit one

[twin igloo]

the one thing I don't know is rex's ability names lol

[worthy plinth]

Just because alien head provides more use in the mithrix fight doesn't mean it's better than a bandolier. For an item to be good, it has to be good throughout the entire run or do something insane in 1 part (like ukulele or meathooks), otherwise it's a rather "eh" item

[iron crag]

Shoot an enemy and they drop healing fruits

[twin igloo]

isn't that just harvest

[iron crag]

25% months health each I think

[twin igloo]

isn't there an ability called directive or is it drill

I'm confused

[iron crag]

No they all have “Directive in front of them

All his non plant abilities atleast

[twin igloo]

anyway yeah it's honestly not that bad until it just, doesn't trigger

half the time it just goes through the enemy

luckily the cooldown isn't too bad

but if it worked correctly then it' be more viable

it's really usful in co-op actually I've found

[iron crag]

Yeah I havent tried it there but it sounds great

[twin igloo]

I'm wierd and like playing supportive roles in games

so it's nice to be able to do that

it's almost more affective than bungus engi ngl

[worthy plinth]

I like playing support roles but only when they're well designed

If they get divebombed way too easily even with good positioning, they suck

[twin igloo]

like medic in tf2 is real good and stuff but sometimes I just wanna play the game and no one else will go medic

[worthy plinth]

That's just casual

If it's a coordinated competitive environment and positioning don't mean hardly shit on whether you die or not, then it sucks

[twin igloo]

yeah getting free wins from just being a healer is dumb

[ebon gust]

Bro supportive roles are dope, especially in like battlefield n stuff

medic always has busted weapons, and the ability to keep the whole team up, it's amazing

[wispy crypt]

It’s really fun too since it’s something unique

[ebon gust]

Exactly

Run across a field with tanks practically running over ur squad and jets gunning everyone down, all to revive ur friend (who is more swiss cheese than human now) with a defibrillator

Makes perfect sense

[neat willow]

Yo anyone wanna play some ror2

[lyric thicket]

Yes

[ancient abyss]

First eclipse run as acrid that I won still have zero clue why people call him a tank

[jolly dagger]

i've literally never heard anyone say that

there's a reason people shit on melee acrid lol

[ancient abyss]

Literally everyone I've heard with acrid guides is like "first thing you need to know jelly dog here is a tank leap into people as much as you can"

[jolly dagger]

that is probably the single worst advice for acrid possible

you gotta stay away and spit

spit = win

[ancient abyss]

Fr every time I try to tank with acrid I die so fast

[ancient abyss]

Not even joking first result

[jolly dagger]

wtf

that's evil

[ancient abyss]

It really is

[zealous aspen]

if you're a LOSER maybe

you pick bite and you pick ruin if you want to properly play acrid

[twin kernel]

I’ve always used the spit and forget strategy

never touched bite

[lyric thicket]

Acrid heals with some abilities

[meager niche]

does using rex's directive: disperse work well on controller? i am used to like 5 sensitivity on a switch pro controller-

[twin kernel]

Specifically bite or are there a few more?

[meager niche]

Third hit of the primary auto combo and bite that's it.

[white quarry]

People who run away on acrid are people who hate fun

[alpine zealot]

True. I am always mauling things to death whenever possible

[junior geode]

Has anyone else been having trouble with The Demons and the Crabs challenge on console, as of late? I've damaged some crabs before chasing them off, just chased other crabs off without hitting them, and my logbook doesn't seem to be tracking or making progress, and the achievement hasn't popped. Not wholly sure if there's some sort of bug with it — haven't controlled properly for it and seen if there's no understandable way for the achievement to pop — but regardless it just seems like quite a bit of trouble, even for an item as purportedly good as Gesture

[tacit forge]

i did have a questionable moment with unlocking gesture, but more in the opposite way

[junior geode]

That is indeed questionable, not sure what happened there

My best guess is that a crab or a few crabs clipped through the map somehow?

[tacit forge]

yeah that happens very often on console, usually seen with larva

here's another instance

[zealous aspen]

it's something to do with acceleration or some weird physics shit because you can reliably do it on most small grounded enemies with rising thunder

[junior geode]

I've been having issues with that exact thing happening when I try demons and the crabs, hah

[white quarry]

Engi turrets STILL don’t hold equipment

:((

[zealous aspen]

they don't on PC either I don't think

[ancient abyss]

I just had such a good game ruined by mithrix clipping me triggering an atg bypassing my one shot protection because bands and my elixir not working

[worthy plinth]

Y'all ever just get an overloading elder lemurian spawning at the beginning of a stage and you can't kill it

So you're basically playing the haunted cave modifier from drg

Maybe that's just an engineer thing, I imagine most other characters could probably kill an individual tanky target in a large group much easier than engineer could

[ebon gust]

There's some bug that makes specific challenges impossible to do, for me it was "Warm For Life" (but it fixed once I got online, I was previously playing offline)

It's odd

[velvet ocean]

is this mode in sotv?

[white quarry]

Yea

[heady heart]

If an enemy gets a turret as a ghost you might be fucked

[white quarry]

Too many elixirs

[upper wadi]

Does anyone else find themselves consistently dying while playing acrid on advanced stages

Is it a skill issue or is he underpowered

[white quarry]

Part skill issue, part acrid losing a passive on stage 6

[upper wadi]

I just try getting close to anyone to use like normal attacks and get oneshot

Maybe I should play it differently

[junior geode]

I haven’t tried it online, so…maybe that’d fix things? Would have to coordinate it with some lads, though; wouldn’t want people outright killing crabs

[frail merlin]

Why the hell does the e4 increase the enemies turning speed the amount of effort I need to do to get a back shot with bandit is making me depressed

[tepid vine]

Get more speed lol

Smokebomb is useful for that

[zealous aspen]

to get a what..?

[tepid vine]

To backstab

[zealous aspen]

to get a what..?

a bbbbb..back shot..?

with bandit no less..?

[tepid vine]

I think they meant due to E4 increase enemy speed, it's harder for them to backstab as Bandit

Which is weird, I didn't have trouble doing that on E8

[alpine zealot]

Im playing on the switch for the first time

Commando can get more upwards momentum with his basic dash. Interesting !

[junior geode]

Lunar coins on console feel weird because they...actually work as intended instead of just entering in the funny stuff on Notepad for seventy billion of them

Like the lunars from Mithrix and such read more as a reward

[plush tree]

How do you have 3 turrets

[frail merlin]

Opps maybe I worded it wrong

[pale mountain]

Worded it so right😩

[gritty fog]

Lysate cell

[cursive glacier]

I’m currently playing simalcrum and I’m on wave 115 and enemies have stopped spawning but the waves keep going

[vapid granite]

uh guys

has anyone noticed the music glitches

like its bearable but the game will crash when i try to turn down the music too

the music stops playing during teleporter events as well

really sucks because i like the music but i can't play it for myself without sacrificing sound effects even if i wanted to because it'll just crash

this is on switch btw

[pale mountain]

I think switch settings just make the game crash in general

[frail merlin]

Only the control setting you can change if you try gameplay and audio you just straight up crash

[warm geyser]

That's the thing, acrid is kind of a melee survivor but at the same time hes not (unless you're using bite.) Late game you have to rely on spit and epidemic, you CAN'T use your m1 a vast majority of the time because its simply too slow, and you will get your head caved in by a brass contraption, or burned to death by an elder lemurian.

[vapid granite]

yeah that's what i meant

i looked in the actual bug submission and i saw someone mention the audio glitches

but i don't think they submitted the whole crashing when messing with settings

i doubt they'd miss that after being told about audio in general though

[pale mountain]

It has been reported plenty of times

[ebon gust]

That'll prolly fix it

[heady heart]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

just whyyyyyyyy

[frail merlin]

[frail merlin]

Blazing Blind pest: “spawns behind you”
Blazing Blind pest: nothing personal “damage you for more than half your health”

[viral ember]

The one time I decide to play stationary turrets so I can actually get bands and gearbox crushes my dreams

[short iris]

Am I crazy or is headstompers on console way underpowered compared to the clips of it on pc

[wispy crypt]

That’s cuz on pc there’s a tech with stompers and quail that if you quail jump on a slope it sends you flying in the air allowing for massive stomps

On console that’s really only replicable by diablo striking yourself if you stand close to the middle of impact

Which obviously is a billion times more dangerous

Negating falldamage and the extra jump height are very neat though

Especially on console since fall damage is applied twice there

[hollow cliff]

RAAAAAAAH

Left at 51

[fresh mulch]

Game froze

Rip simu run

[eager wind]

No no that's an achievement

Be proud of it

[fresh mulch]

No THIS is an achievement

[hollow cliff]

I one shot mithrix

[covert moat]

Has anyone experienced near immediate death from a pillar of blood before?

[eager wind]

Hold on, been a while since I played, what are those?

[fresh mulch]

Forgive me please spam

[worthy plinth]

I'm like 99% sure now that squid polyps are near useless now

Cause opening void cradles means instant death

[valid violet]

I opened a void cradle and they started beaming me

They killed me 3 times in a row because I had 3 dios best friend

[worthy plinth]

At this point I'm pretty sure it's best for you to not even pick them up anymore

I'm not sure if it's a feature on pc, but I genuinely don't understand why they would make it so allies can be possessed by those little void things

It's just super annoying

[torn fossil]

drones used to be vulnerable to voidtouch

old pc feature
definitely a great counter to the free win coupon (spare drone parts)

[quartz bay]

how do you die to a squid polyp

just kill the void infestor before it infests the squid

[robust thistle]

and mithrix one shot me

[worthy plinth]

Apparently spider mines aren't fast enough

[junior geode]

finally got my first monsoon win and unlocked Purity, hell yeah

genuinely monsoon is a very satisfying difficulty, feels like a final exam where everything has to click together or the game will smack you silly

[twin igloo]

ok but like they do cool backflips and shit so like

[frail merlin]

After the dlc command turned into easy to baby mode so I thought they would be a decrease in command player but I was wrong

[spiral bay]

I question what the intention was behind adding command.

[twin igloo]

that one bandit acheievenment

that's the entire reason

and I guess that they were probably thinking of more of a sandbox mode by turning that on but it doesn't really work like that

[frail merlin]

If only it was so innocent they genuinely think it improves the game sure many wanna just do some achievements but those play in single player all those command vermin are swarming the lfg

[heady heart]

and not captain smushed? Lmao

[twin igloo]

oh yeah ig I did play drizzle to get the diablo

but I literally don't even have command so like

[worthy plinth]

Some people just want to play casually and do dumb shit super easily and quickly

I myself play mostly command but I still play eclipse for when I want an actual challenge. I've been able to make it to eclipse 7 on engineer despite me being a command user.

Command doesn't mean bad player, it just means casual shitter

[frail merlin]

I still think command has a somewhat appeal and it’s nothing wrong from playing with it but that is in single player I sure won’t say the same in multiplayer they should leave that place alone

I say it’s even worse in playing in multiplayer just cause you have to share item and it’s laggy

[worthy plinth]

Command in multiplayer is honestly reasonable no matter what imo

Coordinating what items to share with friends is the reason I don't like multiplayer lmao

Cause my friends are the type of people to pick up nkuhanas when I have 10 stacks of bungus for my stationary turrets

[frail merlin]

That just bad teammate you know it’s possible to play multiplayer without command and still be able to share item

[worthy plinth]

I've seen videos of it happening, but I already know I probably wouldn't be able to find a lobby that can reasonably do that

And I especially wouldn't be able to do that with friends

[frail merlin]

That unfortunate seems like the switch lfg is better than I thought

[worthy plinth]

I've tried the lfg channels before but they take far too long, and public lobbies I imagine are chaos

[frail merlin]

The lfg are dry and empty but it’s not impossible to find somebody and play and it’s much better than quickplay or other that you have no communication

[worthy plinth]

And the people there can coordinate, but not much. The most coordination you'll get is the basic stuff like bungus for engineer and all that

I imagine you won't be able to coordinate who gets which type of build (i.e. Bleed, proc chain, fmp, etc)

[frail merlin]

Thing is different character have different item that are good on each other and if the team does share item maybe to well it can end up the engi gets most of the item and leaving someone like acrid or arti dry

[worthy plinth]

I feel like engie is more of a support type of character for multiplayer than anything, just because of bungus

But bleed and proc chain builds go insane on him tbh

[frail merlin]

For me he is more like a street beggar trying to desperately get more bungus while being chased by elder lemerian and flying

[worthy plinth]

Realistically that's only up until eclipse 5, after that you're kinda forced to switch to mobile turrets

Engie mains like me may not like it, but mobile turrets aren't actually half bad, and I have warmed up to them

[frail merlin]

Yeah but that how I see engi in multiplayer because without his command he isn’t really so good with his slow speed he can’t loot so much and die mostly well assuming we are not playing command and going afk with sacrifice

Engi in general is just a to slow character for me I may be a but bias

[worthy plinth]

If engie can find movement speed and a feather, he's goated, but otherwise you'd be better off with any other character aside from rex

[frail merlin]

goes great on him

[worthy plinth]

Bro red whip is insane on engie, I don't see people appreciating it as much as it should be

Harpoons and turrets, your main forms of damage, don't put you into combat

[frail merlin]

🤝

[worthy plinth]

People always talk about the bungus synergy but they haven't seen red whip

[frail merlin]

Most people in general are just to obsess with bungus and healing even tho damage and mobility is much more important

[worthy plinth]

For the most part it's just because it's funny lmao

But for eclipse, being funny isn't gonna cut it

Except maybe the earlier eclipse levels

[frail merlin]

It is funny but even in monsoon it’s only a matter of time until the enemies are gonna outscale your bungus

[worthy plinth]

My 250 bungus from artifact of command begs to differ

[frail merlin]

Like that number is gonna make any difference when you get hit point blank from a overloading elder lemerian

[worthy plinth]

Honestly for my command runs I entirely avoid nkuhanas until I near the end of the run because it makes the game too boring

This is coming from a command user, and it's somehow too boring

[heady heart]

bad friends then
Literally when i play w friends and someone is a melee class focus crystal is theirs hands down, or if we find crit we give it to someone whos not bandit or runner, and if we find scope or predstincts we give it to whoever has highest crit rate

[worthy plinth]

Nah, not bad friends, we're just a bunch of dumbasses who mainly play drg lmao

[frail merlin]

It’s usually the player count also because oh boy you bet no one is gonna share in a 4 player lobby but in trio or duo it’s easier in my opinion

[worthy plinth]

In drg we can (somewhat) coordinate (as in nobody except the scout gets blown up)

[heady heart]

True since bungus only stacks linearly

[worthy plinth]

Bro I'm gonna be honest, I want the option to turn on 4 player difficulty in the base game instead of mods

Higher scaling but a crap ton more loot

[frail merlin]

Like 4 player scaling in single player?

[worthy plinth]

Yeah

[frail merlin]

Only option you have is make a 4 player lobby and have 3 leave😔

Also the chest cost 4x as much so yeah

[worthy plinth]

Just get a ghors tome

Not only do you get a lot more money, but you can also ping it like you're playing drg and found compressed gold

https://tenor.com/view/we-are-rich-rich-deep-rock-galactic-compressed-gold-gif-24791651

[frail merlin]

You don’t get more money only more enemies also you probably will have enemies spawning on you like every 10 second

[worthy plinth]

The definition of "fuck it, we ball"

[frail merlin]

A challenge!

[worthy plinth]

Shrine of the mountain but for the entirety of the run

Honestly it just sounds like so much more fun, less waiting around, more immanent death, and more loot

[heady heart]

Exists as a mod
But console players

[twin igloo]

Along with gup (they hurt a lot)

And have more range than I thought

[median magnet]

But i gotta say drone with the credit card teaches responsible spending habits

[twin igloo]

Single handedly solving the economy problem though

[twin igloo]

True

[median magnet]

Factual statements

[twin igloo]

Recycler drone actually works

[median magnet]

It does?

[twin igloo]

Ye

Really hard but I've seen it

[median magnet]

Thaz crazy

Like fucking awesome

Well now i know now to never do that

Not to be a bastard or anything but i think the person who came up with the "tax the rich" isnt that rich themselves

Wich leads me to my next point of why should we tax beings such as equipment drone who is single handedly solving various economic problems on the planet

When people ask who is the world in debt to the answer is always them so shoild we really be considering such acts for without them we wouldnt be

idk how but i took out 5 ELDER LEMURIANS as acrid

It’s called poison is good

[upbeat shuttle]

Luv me poison, simple as

[manic flame]

Question

The lunar item that halves your cooldown and atk speed

Does that work on like mul t rocket launcher and arti fireball

And basically turn it into a constant attack?

[ebon gust]

ooo, I'm not sure

I'd assume so

[manic flame]

Because with half cooldown and half atk speed you should get as many stacks as you use up

I mean i thought about using double weapons

And putting rocket launcher as 2nd

[ebon gust]

You'd just take two years to fire it

[manic flame]

So i can use backup mag

And basically turn it into a burst type weapon

But that would take a ton of them

To get a significant amount of charges

Also you know whats fun?

[ebon gust]

Yeah I getcha, hmmm

[manic flame]

Railgunner alt with predatory 🙂

Turn her into a gatling sniper

[ebon gust]

full auto dmr

[manic flame]

My favorite is still icbm , afterburner engi harpoons

And just send out 18 rockets instead of 4

[ebon gust]

Who needs engi when u have fireworks ×5 w/ 2 icbms

[manic flame]

Only works with remote coffee machine tho

Otherwise your screwed at mythrix or voidling

Voidling will be tough too

[ebon gust]

That's why u have other items

[manic flame]

Cuz no money

Unless you have roll of pennies

And dare to get hit

[gleaming owl]

Who needs to dare to get hit when you can just be trash at dodging wisp and pest shots?

[frail merlin]

It’s simple dodging wisp simply kill them before they shoot and blind pest are like brass contraptions they’re aim is shit

[shrewd hare]

blind pests are simple just walk around them

Idk how to dodge wisps I just do it sometimes

[junior geode]

Circle strafing is a big thing with a lot of fliers

[tacit forge]

enough speed or underneath them works, of course a good cover blocks too

doesn't really matter anyways they hurt as much as you would from being touched by a feather

[junior geode]

It’s more significant when they’re grouped up, but most survivors have good enough aoe to cover that even then

[paper kestrel]

Yo does anyone know if the 1 shot thing with merc works on console, where you dash into the enemy and they fly away and die?

[frail merlin]

Idk no one has tried

[wispy crypt]

Doesn’t work

[paper kestrel]

Rip

[wispy crypt]

At least from my experience

[paper kestrel]

yeah ive tried so many times I thought I was just bad

[wispy crypt]

Another guy said it was possible but every time I tried it no enemy moved the slightest bit

And actually getting it to work at all isn’t the hard part

[paper kestrel]

welp even if its impossible ill neva stop trying

[mint cedar]

It only works on flying enemies

[pale mountain]

Well yea

[tribal rover]

It probably is possible thanks to the physics change

Just hard to

[wispy crypt]

Idk like those things didn’t get moved at all when I tried

[tribal rover]

I'm gonna do a run and try to bully AWU until I do it

Sounds like a good way of putting it to test

[wispy crypt]

Yup

[frail merlin]

The physics in console are much weaker than pc and overall not the same

[tribal rover]

Yes

[unique sequoia]

Any News from the devs?

[gray stirrup]

risk of rain survivors of the void on console cured my depression and my anxiety, all because of "the air smells of sweet strawberries"

[frail merlin]

It’s only a matter of time before the gup gets to you brains

[tacit forge]

peak console after getting sotv

[ancient abyss]

Is anyone else thinking potrolling is bugged

[paper kestrel]

it impossible

the pots just dont move

[quartz bay]

nope besides a patch is in the works, probably dont expect it for a good while at this point

[carmine mica]

Are switch servers down rn?

Cause I'm trying to play with a friend and I can't join their lobby but it's not showing up

[tribal rover]

Alright I tried slamming with merc for a bit and I can't tell if I got inside their hitbox at all

[pale mountain]

There are no servers

[meager niche]

Risk of rain 2 multiplayer doesn't work with servers, it's a host - client connection, this means that the creator of the lobby is the host and people that join the lobby are the clients so the connection between players depends on how good/stable internet connection has the host and the client and if they are not that far away, like the host being in USA and the client being in Japan.

[nimble ravine]

yeah i was playing poison acrid that run

[molten pine]

This happend to me as a survivor, I dashed then phased into the wall to the abyss. Lost an e5 run bruh

[lyric thicket]

Floors don't always exist on console

[meager niche]

So you can’t find a match with people in simulacrum mode.

[worthy plinth]

Bruh I thought that I saw a patch where mithrix didn't inherit droneman

Apparently not for console I guess

Cause I just lost an eclipse 7 run to mithrix's droneman

I am in incomprehensible mental pain right now

Either my memory decieves me or gearbox didn't add that feature to console (either one doesn't surprise me in the slightest)

[tacit forge]

[winged prism]

Is the switch community for ROR2 small?

[heady heart]

console do be like that

[paper kestrel]

Does anyone know how this happened? My damage delt stat will forever be stained by commando

[zealous aspen]

As it should be

[proud nymph]

maybe pre-update u got that double dippin looping perfection proc chain

[jolly dagger]

weakest commando player

[quartz bay]

commando haters who say he does no damage coping and seething rn

[twin igloo]

true

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

[heady heart]

99% of the time its someone in multiplayer or yourself fucking around with console commands

[paper kestrel]

Im on xbox

[white quarry]

Wrong chat

[pale mountain]

Console doesn't have the fixes from the newer pc patch for some reason

[twin igloo]

eeeerm

my switch is telling me software update

sneed gyat gaming

[quartz bay]

thats the switch itself updating

i got a update notice when i tried opening youtube

[little otter]

2 legendary chests in 1 stage when teaching new friend, and yes we died shortly after

[twin igloo]

Unfortunately

[twin igloo]

Huh

Since when did

[little otter]

When did they spawn on that stage? Idk

[dusky rivet]

Ah yes void field count as a stage so now you can get stuff like this

[little otter]

Huh, I've never seen 2 legendary chest before

[pale mountain]

Void fields?

[wispy crypt]

That’s patched

Ever since gearbox launched the funny blue orbs into the skybox vields don’t count as a stage anymore

[dusky rivet]

We dont have the new patch on console and it wouldnt explain this map being on stage 4

[wispy crypt]

Oh true

Gearbox fucking forgot to include their own patch into the console update

[pale mountain]

Gearbox didn't work on pc before

[wispy crypt]

They did (or at least launched) the latest pc update which fixed vield counting towards the stage counter

They definitely should’ve noticed that patch

[pale mountain]

There was a new pc patch recently?

[wispy crypt]

The meteor update came with a small patch

[lost crater]

hey, is the game good on ps4 with the dlc patch? would be wonderful if anyone could answer

[wispy crypt]

Should be

Unless you’re unlucky and find the millionth extremely rare and unreplicatable bug

[pale mountain]

Oh I didn't even notice the stage count. That's confusing

[nimble ravine]

dude i got hardlight afterburner in an engineer run BUT i unlocked thermal harpoons during that run so thath meant i just had 3 stupid shields

[median magnet]

We aint gettin gta6 before dlc 2

Surely not

[dusky rivet]

Yeah but this mean you can get malachite, celestial and scavenger on sky meadow

[pale mountain]

Oh shit I thought it was just a visual thing

[dusky rivet]

Ah ok

[frail merlin]

Anyway thank god this is over, fighting Mithrix as bandit is so scuffed.

[wispy crypt]

Bandit seems like the best survivor for mithrix though

[frail merlin]

Not with the speed modifier (e4) and the cooldown modifier(e7) it makes him so fast and hard to get behind and the invisible isn’t really a good dodge but he is good on mithrix just not very enjoyable fight

[wispy crypt]

Better than being in a losing run and fighting his first phase as merc for half an hour

[frail merlin]

Probably but I would just quit at that point

[wispy crypt]

Fair

[pale mountain]

As a CBT enjoyer I cannot condone that

Never give up on the torture

[median magnet]

oh okay

[frail merlin]

This confused the shit out of me

[tacit forge]

normal viend things

causally almost losing their grip on reality

[wispy crypt]

Motherfucker I’ve never gotten this to happen yet

The teleporter on this stage causes this sometimes if you angle your camera in a weird way

[frail merlin]

And here I thought I just found a one in a million bug

[meager niche]

Game almost dragged you into it and was abt to turn you into viend

[elfin thunder]

hi everyone. Totally new here. I remember getting ROR2 on ps5 a long while ago and reaching the final boss once but haven't played since. Is the ps5 version up to date ?

[wispy crypt]

Ye they made an update

[meager niche]

^^^ he's lying

They abandoned it

[brave beacon]

the console gaslighting continues

[gleaming owl]

I LOVE that the ground in the new boss's arena ||Voidling|| is not solid for the case of railgunner's utility skill and it is impossible to use them for movement during a fight where if you get unlucky and have 0 hopoo feathers there's some attacks that just go 'that's rough buddy' BOSS THEME SAXAPHONE INTENSIFIES

[gleaming owl]

Clearly the Viend for just a moment saw a flashback to the void by peering through the terrain itself. It is indeed a.... Suvivor of The Void.

[lyric thicket]

Therapy is always nice, good job

[pale mountain]

Cognitive ball torture

[frail merlin]

🤨

[upbeat ore]

[lyric thicket]

He's referencing losing his void items and only receiving a pearl

Stresses him out

[heady heart]

wtf-

[prime sky]

Cerebral brain therapy

[jolly dagger]

balls

[open summit]

Hmm what the

[quartz bay]

i condone what grunch doesn't condone

[open summit]

Ok then seem like it

[bold thistle]

Gaslighting? That doesn't exist.

[frail merlin]

Can’t believe they already released the patch the game has basically no bugs now

[quartz bay]

seekers of the storm releases TOMORROW only for CONSOLES

[open summit]

Hmm sure about that

[paper kestrel]

its only fair compensation

[open summit]

Hmm maybe so

[round bluff]

I need help guys just bought the DLC for xbox and it's not working

[crude terrace]

I need help, I bought survivors of the void yesterday and played it, but then today is says I don't have the DLC and I need to re-buy it

I just played as railgunner yesterday

[wispy crypt]

Yeah this usually is the case if the xbox isn’t connected to the internet but if that’s not the problem then maybe try to restart the xbox or look if you can re-download the dlc

[crude terrace]

I already restarted and my Xbox is connected, plus I can't redownload because it says that I never bought it in the first place now

[wispy crypt]

Maybe check if something is different about your account that might’ve changed something

If that doesn’t work I’m out of ideas

[crude terrace]

ok, thanks

[round bluff]

s there something I need to do different cause I've restarted the console, reinstalled the game checked for updates and nothing

If I go to the DLC, It says "doesn't need to be installed"

Do I get the new characters automatically? Or do I have to beat the game to unlock them?

[wispy crypt]

If you got the dlc you got the dlc

[round bluff]

Never mind it decided to work after 7th time restarting

The 2 new characters just popped up.

[open meadow]

Yo this new dlc aint working cause xbox’s store is down

It says its back up but the dlc still isnt working

[silver flint]

Any tips for someone that wants to try artificer/get good at her? But has so far not done well with her.

[meager niche]

Cycle through her abilities

[modern abyss]

Try to unlock her alternate abilities and get a feel for them, play on an easier difficulty

Artificer relies a lot on burst so take high damage options like bands, crowbars and such

[meager niche]

^^

[inland perch]

I tried doing voidling and now I've been falling in the abyss

For an hour😭

[tropic dawn]

is it just me, or is acrid pretty good? also is console ramping scuffed? it really feels like it when watching pc

[sand marsh]

anyone available to play i wanna get mastery on void fiend

i’m already really good with him

[jolly dagger]

acrid good

well

ig poison is good

[tropic dawn]

acrid = poison, so acrid = good

[sand marsh]

ping me if anyone wanna play

[sand marsh]

yooo it’s elons son

[tropic dawn]

yoooo

of course, but don't tell anyone ok

[jolly dagger]

elon's §õŋ

[tropic dawn]

god tier

[sand marsh]

lol

[paper kestrel]

has anyone gotten a bug with captain that the big circle for diablo strike just goes away?

[dusky rivet]

It goes invisible gotten it once in multiplayer

[jolly dagger]

yeah

i thought it somehow went off without me noticing and i stepped inside the radius

ouchies

[paper kestrel]

ONG just died to it

felt great

omg I did it again

[jolly dagger]

goddamn

[tall raptor]

did survivors of the void drop for console

[paper kestrel]

yessiirrr

[little otter]

Yep

[viscid tinsel]

with 0 bugs!

[dusky rivet]

Ignorant is bliss

[little otter]

Sulfur Pools is laggy as hell for me

Whenever Viend changes forms it lags the game

[dusky rivet]

Me who prefer railgunner

[little otter]

Railgunner is fun

I prefer mah boy Viend tho

[tall raptor]

🙏

[wispy crypt]

Yeah that one happens frequently when there’s a lot of projectiles or other things that need to be rendered in

It’s only a visual thing though

[dusky rivet]

You kinda need to see the nuke to use it so someone need to get a clip and report it

[wispy crypt]

Just remember where you put it

[dusky rivet]

The countdown

[wispy crypt]

Sending diablo out immediately after activating it should make the cooldown be a good enough countdown

[dusky rivet]

To much effort for a bug someone should still report it

[wispy crypt]

And in general you don’t really want to be in the diablo range in case something goes wrong

[dusky rivet]

I am in the diablo range to gather enemies and run last second

So it being invisible will not help

[wispy crypt]

It’s only really gonna be invisible during the tp event though and you most likely have a shocking beacon set up where the diablo will land

[dusky rivet]

I play with double hacking

[wispy crypt]

And the woosh sound of diablo racing down before hitting the ground should also be enough of an indicator as long as you stick the edges

[dusky rivet]

I play without sounds

[wispy crypt]

I find the visual disappearing annoying but not really that bad

It’s more of a mild inconvenience than anything

[dusky rivet]

Should still get reported

[wispy crypt]

I find the music and sound effects fading in and out more annoying since it’s slightly confusing

[junior geode]

https://tenor.com/view/risk-of-rain2-ror2-ror-cry-about-it-glitch-gif-25385108

acrid moment

[pine basin]

I like how it is very much possible to give Railgunner a jetpack with high attack speed

[junior geode]

Pillar skipping with eccentric vase might be better in terms of item economy, but jetpack funnie

[median magnet]

flatcrid

[frail merlin]

Peak engineer eclipse gameplay

[lyric thicket]

Why did they make the push Pillar literally take 10 minutes

[shrewd hare]

mmmm a steady 20fps

[frail merlin]

The funny part was that one of the better switch moments

Oh boy the lag was real on stage 5

[frail merlin]

You are supposed to be jumping like a some kind of mini game please just jump😭

[lyric thicket]

Nahh when u jump u go higher

[frail merlin]

The hell are you on about

[lyric thicket]

U on something

[frail merlin]

Ok so if you use your eyes you can see the push of air coming out on the GROUND so if you jump before the push comes you will not get pushed

[radiant spire]

Only if u try stand on the pillar lol

[meager niche]

The pillar pushes you if you are grounded so if you jump you don't get pushed.

Better said, if you jump before the pushing pulse happens you will not get pushed.

[paper kestrel]

its hella annoying on Eclipse cause I am jumping out of the circle most the time and I dont get any progress

[slow gull]

Lads choose, should I go kill mythrix or obliterate because I was only getting command artifact
