[dusky rivet]

Ok its 4x speed now

[wispy crypt]

Oh wait true THAT bug exists

[frail merlin]

The most confusing bug of them all👍

[wispy crypt]

That one elitist at gearbox that forces everyone to use his preferred settings:

[frail merlin]

Even the audio settings💀

We should be thankful we can change the sensitivity and buttons at least

[wispy crypt]

And arti jetpack controls

All the settings (aside from money and xp effects) that matter to me thankfully are all still fine

[twin igloo]

Gaming

🤯

I don't really remember if I've changed any settings tbh

[twilit breach]

I remember idp would always make me crash. Don't know if that is still a thing.

[frail merlin]

After 8 month of having my playtime getting stuck it’s finally increasing never thought it would happened

[spark tide]

switch doesn't crash just lags nearly immediately after stage 2

its actually better handheld too in my experience. the fps is more consistently shit compared to random drops

[regal edge]

In my experience, it’s never that bad

I mean yea, it gets laggy at times

But it’s never horrible

[quartz bay]

once you play this game at a 60fps or even 30fps you never want to go back to the switches inconsistent 2fps

[meager niche]

Has the bug been fixed that causes the Switch to crash when changing volume in the menu in an update?

[quartz bay]

nope

[meager niche]

Dang. It really needs fixed.

Been wanting to play without music but with sound effects but I guess I can't because nobody fixes anything

Oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frail merlin]

I don’t know about that

[mild stone]

Hello everyone. I have found the ROR2 base game to be significantly inferior ever since the November 2023 patch (playing on Xbox Series X). Significant graphical downgrade and button presses not registering. I wish I could revert back to the old patch. Is the consensus that the base game has been downgraded, or upgraded? Has there been any word at all from the devs about fixing some of the graphical issues (the colours seem very flat, and there are jaggies on the HUD, and the items are low-res and rotate jerkily)?

[wispy crypt]

For me most of those bugs sorta just vanished once I played enough of the patch but youre gonna have to see if it does that for you too

[mild stone]

So the HUD jaggies, the low-res items, and the generally flat colours... some of these went away?

[wispy crypt]

Actually those specific ones I think I just got used to but other things like audio bugs did go away after some time

But yeah the more you play the less you will notice the hud, items or color bugs

If the color thing even is a bug

[mild stone]

Yeah it seems more like a downgrade (perhaps they disabled HDR)

[wispy crypt]

I mean personally I would rather take that than the performance issues the dlc could bring

[mild stone]

Yes, there are worse things than a graphical downgrade. However, I hope some players are actually communicating to the devs that we were disappointed that a long-awaited patch made the game worse in certain ways.

[wispy crypt]

Im just glad that blazing elites dont melt you in half a second anymore

That bug literally got the old beetles to number 6 in things that killed me the most

The regular ass beetles

[mild stone]

I never cared too much about the DLC, but was excited to play an upgraded version. Now the game is unplayable (yes, blazing elites are fixed... but now the game no longer registers button presses).

[wispy crypt]

The button press thing is new to me though

Never heard of that before

[mild stone]

(I should note that I didn't have the button press bug when I tried the game in November, after which I uninstalled the game... I reinstalled it today and experienced it).

[frail merlin]

Saying you want to revert to the old patch sounds like a masochist decision

[pale mountain]

Is it in the menu?

[spark tide]

I learned to dodge better due to the blazing elite bug and the only other issue back then was inconsistent multiplayer, but my switch ran @ 60fps until later stages compared to A LOT earlier now.

[quartz bay]

the switch never ran at 60

its more like less than 30 fps

[wispy crypt]

The switch can run at 60 fps in some very specific situations

Its pretty unlikely to ever happen in a game but if the option is there it can happen

[dire bane]

do blaizng elites arent that hard to dodge imo so it didnt much for me

[frail merlin]

A switch player have no right to complain about fps we simply have to adapt ever since the dlc dropped my win rate increased so much and I die to less bugs overall this version is just easier fps should never be a problem for a switch player

[spark tide]

whatever it was before was consistent until stage 8, which would only dip by then

as someone who played with swarm on constantly

[upbeat ore]

I play on switch and half the time the game doesn't register me pressing X

[wispy crypt]

Thats a multiplayer bug

Usually it is at least

[upbeat ore]

I mostly only play single player

[frail merlin]

I have never had problems with buttons input not registering maybe it’s just your controller knowing switch

[regal edge]

I could very easily do that

[upbeat ore]

I've never had a problem with any other game

[frail merlin]

Seems like you are special

[upbeat ore]

I've had my bumper on controllers stop working but never another button

[pale mountain]

They made a bug just for you🥰

[mild stone]

During gameplay, the game does not register button presses. So, the M1 will stop working for a while, and then the Utility skill will stop working for a while, and so on.

[pale mountain]

Wow haven't heard of that one before

[forest pumice]

You mean during lag? Cuz I think that's just lag doing lag things

[mild stone]

I don't know what "during lag" means.

[pale mountain]

Game freezing and stuttering

[mild stone]

I see. No, I wasn't describing the game failing to register button presses during lag.

[quartz bay]

aka input lag

[simple relic]

I just got the sotv dlc do I take this?

[wispy crypt]

No your items are good

This is benthic bloom
Each stage it turns 3 random items (and all of their stacks) into a random one of a higher tier

Sounds good but it can ruin builds and most red items dont work well without whites and greens

I would only take this if I have nothing redeemable in my kit and am getting completely outscaled

[simple relic]

To late

[wispy crypt]

Well damn

[simple relic]

I just threw lol

[wispy crypt]

Tbh one benthic isnt too bad however since it can turn greens into clovers that corrupt into benthics you will involuntarily get more benthics and therefore have more items turned into reds

[hollow furnace]

you havent lived until u grab 3 benthic blooms same stage 💪

[quartz bay]

average benthic bloom enjoyer

[wanton glen]

Benthic gave me 15 bottled chaos before

I became nearly unkillable

[mild stone]

Just got killed by the "burn" effect of a Grandparent's "solar flare" attack... pretty sure this effect didn't work like that pre-2023 patch

Specifically, IIRC, the damage used to stop the moment the grandparent was killed

Whereas now the effect continues to inflict damage after the enemy is killed

[white quarry]

It never stopped when the grandparent was killed, although changes to burn and overheat make it deadlier

Artefact update: sunburn increases burn damage

1.0 update: removed the effects of sunburn, now it’s just a warning

Anniversary update: renamed to overheat and once again increases burn damage (console didn’t get this patch note ofc)

SoTV: burn is now deadlier and works off of max health

Result: grandparent is spooky now

[mild stone]

Maybe it used to continue inflicting damage over time once the grandparent was killed, but IIRC, nothing that could take your health from 80% to death
https://youtu.be/3A2OY471hPs?t=42 PLEASE TURN OFF AUDIO BEFORE VIEWING (something went wrong with the capture)

Anyway, yes, my technique is awful, but I used to fight grandparents like this all the time, and never died in this way.

Now I'll have to be more cautious around the solar flare attack

[quartz bay]

that way of killing a grandparent is just asking to throw a run lol

[mild stone]

haha yes, i'm very bad at the game... i've beaten E8 once, after about 100 attempts

[dry nebula]

Any tips for preventing frame drop? Friend has been sitting stuck for about 50 minutes game time, I’m stuck watching him since I died

24 stages into a monsoon run is not healthy for a one apparently

Better question, any tips to help push his game along to catch up

[short ferry]

Unless you broke into nasa and are using their hardware to play, you're going to experience frame drops that late into a run

[spice bronze]

Ive made it to three separate frames in an hour and 10 minutes

[short ferry]

Just ror2 things

[spice bronze]

Lmao alr ill wait it out then

[short ferry]

This is why I avoid looping

[dry nebula]

His view is very pretty

[spice bronze]

Tbh fair im never doing over 20 again 💀

[short ferry]

Clover unlock moment

[short ferry]

Oh my gyatt

[dry nebula]

[spice bronze]

The fireworks go hard

[dry nebula]

One too many plimp

[short ferry]

Go ahead. Enter the tele.

[spice bronze]

[short ferry]

Oh yeah you have basically the recipie for exploded hardware

[spice bronze]

Im be real i been floating this whole time i think ill make it there in probably two to three business days

[short ferry]

And some for good measure

[spice bronze]

Ong real

[spice bronze]

Dont forget the

[short ferry]

Most important item for any build

[spice bronze]

and 11 of these bad boys to make every stolen ability last forever

Update game crashed

[vapid granite]

tf happened in 1984

[vapid granite]

yeah.

[thin vale]

george orwell

[vapid granite]

he died in 1950 though

[pale mountain]

Fake news

[gritty fog]

The fucking book 1984

[vestal rain]

[odd kite]

Do anyone know what is mul-t proc coefficient?
Is 0.4 or 0.6 I forgot

[gritty fog]

0.6

[odd kite]

Thx

[frail merlin]

Was kinda surprised when I found out captain had a 0,8 proc coefficient

[last comet]

Logical since he has a shotgun

[frail merlin]

Yes but is it noticeable?

[last comet]

No, he has a shotgun

He has tons of pellets

So he still procs items really well

[frail merlin]

7-9 pellets per shoots which is hard to get them all to hit

[last comet]

Not really

Holding it makes his shotgun into a sniper

[frail merlin]

Try aiming at blind pest

[last comet]

Doesn’t seem like I understand the issue.

[frail merlin]

And takes time which makes you deal less damage

[last comet]

Naw

[frail merlin]

Someone don’t play captain enough to know

[last comet]

Just stack some soldiers syringes

[last comet]

Cap is one of my fav characters

[frail merlin]

I have a feeling this guy plays on command

[last comet]

Guh

[last comet]

Getting few syringes is not that hard

Even without command

[frail merlin]

Not a matter of skills

And it still decrease you dps

[last comet]

And really just get ukulele

For dps

[frail merlin]

Nah this guy must be playing in some dream world

[last comet]

Idk what ur on about

Holding for half a second will not harm ur dps

Allat much

And you have micro bots

[frail merlin]

I will have time to fire 3 shoots by the time I have a charged shoot wanna guess how much my dps go down

[last comet]

That just delete threats like lemurians, xi constructs, those bell things

[last comet]

But it trades off damage for range

Captain can deal with any threat easily

[frail merlin]

So even the one spamming saying it has a shotgun ignore that it excels in being melee

[last comet]

What are you on about

Hell you mean spamming

I said that 2 times, proving that he can proc things well

[frail merlin]

Maybe worded it a bit wrong but you still get the point

[last comet]

No I didn’t

[frail merlin]

Feels like you been ignoring a lot of my questions

[last comet]

Questions?

I don’t think you asked questions allat much

[frail merlin]

Ok you win I can’t speak to someone that can’t understand this

[last comet]

You just speak nonsense

Captains shotgun is good at range and melee

Just that in range it’s weaker

And if flying enemies spawned on you

They are still in effective range of ur shotgun

Even if you don’t fully charge it

And most of your threats get crippled by your micro bots

And if you think that you have only one

Just buy some turrets and drones

[mild stone]

I'm detecting that you two are disagreeing about something, but I'm unsure as to what exactly. Ronny is saying that Captain's m1 can be challenging to play with, and Razu is denying this?

[shy schooner]

I swear I had a dream about this once

I am getting major Deja vu

[pale mountain]

About captain primary arguments?

[shy schooner]

About some discord argument about whether something is good or not

The dream was long before I knew what RoR was

My mind is a place of confusion and misdirection

[frail merlin]

I never said it was bad I just said it was hard to get all the pellets to hit but he was damn ignoring all point I made and just assumed stuff in his own has definitely giving command player vibes from my experience

[mild stone]

The debate between Ronny and Razu is getting out of hand, and I am growing pessimistic about resolving it by conventional means. Is there anything else you can recall from your dream that might point us in the right direction?

[shy schooner]

I don’t know I didn’t expect to get this far
Facts and logic?

[wispy crypt]

The captain primary is always good but takes some practice to fine tune

Getting closer means more shots hitting from uncharged fire but also puts you at a higher risk of getting hit

Staying further requires more charging for more bullets to hit but is also safer

A good captain will know what position hes in and distance himself accordingly to what he deems is the biggest risk thats he can deal with

Overall it depends on the player's skill how good the primary will be but it has a rather high skill ceiling imo

[frail merlin]

Depends also on the size of the enemy on when to use a charged or not but most people use the charge shot gun at smaller enemies mostly flying which is the part where it’s hard to aim at which I just wanted to say this part irritated me the most both the sniper statement and this

[twin kernel]

what are we arguing over?

[meager niche]

captains primary being good depending on its rangee

[wispy crypt]

Its alright on a distance and insane up close

[twin kernel]

ye

i agree

what’s the opposing argument?

[white quarry]

Captain can’t make sourdough

[wispy crypt]

Captain definitely can make sourdough

After all they didnt need a chef bot on board

[white quarry]

Probably has an old recipe

[dry nebula]

His great-great-grand-captains sourdough recipe

[twin kernel]

How does he make sourdough with the shotgun hand?

or can he change it out?

[wispy crypt]

He doesnt he just does it with his right hand alone

[twin kernel]

and that’s why he’s the best fucking cap’n ever

Do you know any other captains that can make sourdough with one hand?

I don’t

[frail merlin]

I barely remember any similar captain character in other games

[twin kernel]

I can’t think of any off the top of my head

[wispy crypt]

Captain is the best captain to have ever captained

[frail merlin]

Captained💀

[wispy crypt]

Im pretty sure thats a real word

[frail merlin]

No please don’t

[wispy crypt]

Its not marked as wrong for me so there is a gppd chance

[frail merlin]

Maybe having a small dictionary is a good thing

[wispy crypt]

Captained is not that bad though

Im captaining

I have captained

[frail merlin]

It just sound wrong especially if I say it out loud😭

[wispy crypt]

The captaining captain will captain like no captaining captain has ever captained before

[frail merlin]

Now I wonder if multi can cook

[wispy crypt]

I mean his name is mul-t so there is a chance

[frail merlin]

There must have been a reason to not add the chef to ror2, Han-d+chef= multi

[twin kernel]

i always read mul-t as mult

[wispy crypt]

Well no the t is meant to be pronounced seperately

Mul tee

[frail merlin]

I honestly forgot he was called mul-t I only remember multi

[twin kernel]

yes, but i like saying it as mult

reminds me of mulch

[frail merlin]

I should play multi more but whenever I see him I just get demotivated and switch characters

[wispy crypt]

Same

I wanted to do seventh day as him but then the game said "blind pests with shuriken and lens makers"

[frail merlin]

That reminds me when I tried to do the commando eclipse grind in one week was about 7 hour ror2 per day pure suffering only manage to reach e7 tho

[wispy crypt]

Vields just hate me

Like this the third complete bullshit combo I encountered

The first was clay templars, solus probes, grandparents and xi constructs with overall good items

The second was parents with tesla coil

And then newly added blind pests with shuriken

[frail merlin]

I’m surprised you even manage to survive the Tesla coil

[wispy crypt]

I didnt I got fried immediately

[frail merlin]

Ah I read it wrong

[wispy crypt]

And blind pests with shuriken are just cruel

I had mfing dml with icbm behemoth and 2 pimps

[frail merlin]

Been saving this for whenever this subject came up

[wispy crypt]

Along with headstompers 5 tentas 6 encrusted keys and 8 lens makers

Like bruh why do vields always claim my god runs

[frail merlin]

I think doing vield pre loop is the best tho if you complete one pre loop you can get some funny scavenger to spawn in

Never liked doing vields just a bit boring and to much effort for that red and a couple of other items

[wispy crypt]

I just hate that the game can sometimes say "ok this is the moment you lose because yes"

Like wtf bro

Blind pests with shuriken

Parents with tesla coil

Shit is crazy

[mild stone]

Void fields when the enemies have dio's is hilarious

[frail merlin]

is the best vields

[wispy crypt]

Nah deathmark

[frail merlin]

It’s all fun and game until the enemies founds a way to proc it

[wispy crypt]

Deathmark medkit aegis mochas ukes

[wispy crypt]

They wont

Red whip gives jellyfish an advantage

And those things can be scary

[frail merlin]

+ fire elite

[frail merlin]

Yeah but the gives them to much speed just making them fly around the map very fast

[wispy crypt]

Mocha is just 2.5 hooves

[frail merlin]

Speed is speed and somehow it scale way more on enemies on player

[wispy crypt]

Better than shit like 5 watches which is essentially just double damage

[frail merlin]

what worse can there be

Well maybe if they have like red wip and Tesla coil would be funny

[wispy crypt]

Jellyfish with red whip goat hooves watches dios and bands

[frail merlin]

Seems possible

Just gotta have a very fast reaction time and character depends also if you are huntress you are pretty much fine if you can dodge

[mild stone]

I kinda miss the crunchy noise that predatory instincts used to make

[wispy crypt]

That noise killed my eardrums

Maybe it was from playing 8 times as loud due to the captain primary but holy christ

[mild stone]

I didn't like it at the time, but I miss it now that it's gone.

holy scrap though, the new sundered grove song

also, anyone know how to see what a recycler is taking? seems like the icon only shows up about 30% of the time

[wispy crypt]

It shouldnt do that

[mild stone]

It didn't used to (pre 2023 patch)

i'll try to get a video of it (just started stage 1 with commando and there's a tri-tip dagger printer, which i hope to use)

how do you upload a video to discord? or can i share directly from my xbox?

[quartz bay]

yea, its bugged on consoles lol

[mild stone]

https://youtu.be/u5qYjnznoFo?t=13

See, the icon shows up for the 1st item, but not for subsequent items

I was hoping there was a way around it (e.g., wait 10 seconds between prints)

Well, at least gearbox will only take 18 months to fix it

[lavish sage]

They still didnt fix loaders slam being really loud did they

[dusky rivet]

They even manage to mess up the music on switch now the audio is a even bigger mess cant even adjust my sound setting

[dry nebula]

Nah

[upbeat star]

Door stuck

[upbeat star]

Void fields and Tesla coil

[wispy crypt]

Especially with the one enemy that can mfing teleport

[frail merlin]

Any metamorphosis enjoyer?

[wispy crypt]

I HATE metamorphosis

Game always gives me acrid or viend

[regal edge]

When I start doing solo runs

I’ll actually play

Rn been focusing on anything else

[frail merlin]

I play like 60% terraria, 20% other games and 20% ror2 at the moment

[regal edge]

Too busy with life, Pokemon, RORR, and other games

[meager niche]

I am like 10% ror2, 20% remnant 1 and 2, and the rest is palworld.

[frail merlin]

If only I had the money for it spent all my remaining on deep rock galaxy but my wifi is so bad I can’t even have a decent match

[meager niche]

Play alone.

[frail merlin]

That’s what I’m doing but I do wanna play multiplayer some day also the same thing is happening whenever I try playing ror2 on pc weird how my switch has better connections

[regal edge]

Funny how Nintendo’s internet services are worse on the performing end but yet you have a better time on it

Curious

[pale mountain]

Two negatives make a positive after all

[upbeat star]

When it gives me captain first so that I have microbots for the run

[short ferry]

Haven't played with any artifacts in a while but it's probably my favorite

Till I get rex

And arti 3 times in a row

[wintry ivy]

I got commando like 6 times ina row and it was so annoying then I got Rex

Which was I believe worse

[twin igloo]

Holy shit 2 hopoo feathers

There's a squid printer I've got 2 squid it's joever

[twin igloo]

Game is playable on engi two feathers chat

[twin igloo]

I got new messages in this channel from myself wtf

[pale mountain]

Did you not read them smh

[dusky rivet]

I just discover that people actually think is a good item

[meager niche]

its a good money maker

[dusky rivet]

And a way to die

What the nerves doin?

[spark tide]

whats easiest way to make the 20 hermit crabs suicide? once I do that I have a platnium trophy

[meager niche]

play on command, get a blackhole with fuel cells, disbale the dlc before you do any of this btw, go to newt on sky meadows, pick plains, and just group as much a you can on the edge and send em off

[tribal rover]

Get abyssal depths and let the crabs clip through the floor

[kind hamlet]

Can someone help me kill Mithrix on PlayStation?

[meager niche]

if you still need help i could help you soon

[spark tide]

what other items should I avoid to make sure the blackhole doesn't kill them

[tacit forge]

it doesn't do damage

so just don't do anything else

[maiden musk]

Just don’t get like little disciples or beetle guards or anything that does damage without you having to shoot

The equipment itself doesn’t do any damage

[lament sorrel]

Still burning

[quartz bay]

spot the difference

[vapid hull]

Does anyone want to play

[spark tide]

Bro is fighting a single enemy yet people wanna say the switch used to always run like this.

[quartz bay]

fr like look at the difference

dont mind how shakey the screen is, thats just the gyro and my hands shaking thinking ima throw 😭

[frail merlin]

Switch is just special

[meager niche]

the true ror experience

[short iris]

Hey guys. Been a while
We got any news? Any dev messages or transparency?

[meager niche]

not at all

but yknow what we did get?

a hostile worlds dev log

[short iris]

Oh yea I know ❤️🎉

Mfw hostile worlds has more open development and more attention to feedback

[meager niche]

whats worse is that it came out when HW kinda released offically

if we dont get a dev log this month, it might be safe to assume we'll get one when SotS comes out

[dusky rivet]

So silly of gearbox putting a mobile gacha game first instead of ror2 console(even tho its diffrent teams )

[pale mountain]

Noo

[regal edge]

Heh, nice

[little siren]

Bro what

[hasty ridge]

Artifacts and patience

[frail merlin]

The average turn on sacrife and sleep and wake up to a 80% chance to have crashed or not

[pale mountain]

Fr lol

[frail merlin]

Ngl I see way to many people flexing their god runs (mostly being on command) in this community

[pale mountain]

I'm used to it by now

[quartz bay]

i was just making fun of the 420 reddit meme lol

[frail merlin]

You get used to it eventually but I do wish for some more variety instead of god run flexing and oh boy the heated up tierlist feels like someone is dropping a bomb every time I see a tierlist

[spark tide]

God runs without command don't even give me the same dopamine anymore. I did not realize how high the red drop rate was until I stopped playing with sacrifice

easily had 5 reds before stage 4 and felt like losing is definitely a skill issue

[frail merlin]

God run without command or with it, it’s all the same they are in one way or another still screen wiping the whole map

[spark tide]

just 1 shots until the game 1 shots back

then its whenever you run out of dios

[short ferry]

That's just good luck lol

That can easily not happen for countless runs

[wispy crypt]

Yeah people really should get more creative

Like me flexing that I blew myself up with diablo more times than any enemy has killed me

[tepid relic]

im stealing that

perfect reaction gif

[jade bloom]

im doing the same

[spark tide]

Skill issue if you’re unlucky

[short ferry]

real.,.

[dusky rivet]

Stage 1 death🔥

[wet thunder]

gyro- what do you mean by "my hands shaking"???

for real, how does the- is like I shake my screen rn while recording and the recording shakes too like wtf

they need the money dawg if they are making a crash grab they makin' it right

[bitter meteor]

Anyone free to do a run or 2 with me?

I also need help/advice on how to be better because i cant get consistent wins unless im on drizzle but I have 3 wins on rainstorm

[meager niche]

just full loot every stage

but dont take too long

keep disengaging if you're swarmed

[bitter meteor]

Yeah i do that

The only thing i notice I could do better that I see youtubers say is to sprint as often as possible

[meager niche]

yeah, jumping and sprinting is pretty much key

[bitter meteor]

I spend most of the time just walking around when enemy's are by so i can aim better because i cant aim well while sprinting

I do jump a lot and im getting a bit better

[tacit forge]

just getting used to enemy attacks in general so you know what to expect

[meager niche]

as a side not i wouldn't really listen to the ror youtubers imo, alot of the stuff is pretty much outdatedm minus the vital info

[meager niche]

dont walk, just spam your jump and shoot, and then run

that's a easy hit on you

keep moving while jumping

[bitter meteor]

Yeah that's probably it

[meager niche]

maybe

[bitter meteor]

I used to be a engineer main so I got used to sticking around my turrets with bungus to keep me alive and let them do the work i think that's what screwed me up early on

My first run with bandit I finished mithrix with the revolver ability unlocking the second one not even on purpose

[meager niche]

accidentally unlocked the best ability in game damn

[frail merlin]

One of the best

[bitter meteor]

Yeah that was cool trying it the next round

[meager niche]

yeah thats probbaly it, i'd practice using mando imo, or stick to bandit, very runny and gunny

[frail merlin]

Well if you wanna get good just don’t play on command or sacrifice and you will eventually get better at the game

[meager niche]

but yeah, gotta wear out the jump button

[meager niche]

[frail merlin]

[bitter meteor]

Yeha that's probably it to i usually do swarms and sacrifice

So i can get used to getting overwhelmed and get better at escaping

[quartz bay]

try doing swarms without sacrifice

[meager niche]

its of no help when their health is halved

[frail merlin]

The thing is sacrife makes you bad at looting the game and make it to a killing game and command just make the game to easy

[bitter meteor]

Yeah

[frail merlin]

I think a dispute origin video explains much better tho

[bitter meteor]

Yeah i watch a bunch of his stuff

[frail merlin]

It’s 50min no wonder I left at 15min https://youtu.be/aJWfwbG93Z8?si=RKvBt5BkU03nxTXX

[bitter meteor]

Yeah i watched it

[frail merlin]

I should play the game while watching it

The one thing handheld works for

[meager niche]

already call bull, no one but masochists enjoy eclipse

[bitter meteor]

Seems like we have a masochist in chat then

[frail merlin]

You are not a true ror2 player if you are not a masochist

[bitter meteor]

Ok thats fair

Probably why I'm not really good at video games

[short ferry]

Eclipse? More like. Easyclipse

[frail merlin]

I do think eclipse is the best way to get better meaning suffer is the best teacher

[bitter meteor]

I may hate myself enough to play ror2 and d2 but I do not enjoy it enough for the harder stuff

[frail merlin]

I say the main point why people play eclipse is just cause it has a progression nothing more is more satisfying than wining in eclipse and climbing up a ladder

[bitter meteor]

I guess

[short ferry]

Also monsoon isn't that big of a challenge to begin with after you learn the basics

The difference from rainstorm to monsoon isn't that impactful, to me atleast

[frail merlin]

It’s still takes a like at least 100+ hour to unlock all stuff get good at monsoon and if you play command it will take even more hours to get good at monsoon

[bitter meteor]

Ok thx everyone for the advice

[frail merlin]

I say mastering monsoon is hard but after that monsoon basically become the normal difficulty

[bitter meteor]

Got it

[regal edge]

Real

When I finish other things, I’m gonna get to work on this game

Might actually drop Pokemon for now to focus on RORR alone

[bitter maple]

It is a miracle this game doesn't crash I have been in the same run for 5 hours and 3 of those hours have been just sitting waiting for the lag to go away

[mild stone]

I'm not finding sentient meat hook as satisfying as I used to... barely notice enemies getting thrown around anymore; it's just some occasional chains showing up for a split second

anyone else notice that item change since the update?

[meager niche]

just you man

[mild stone]

Liar

[meager niche]

tbf it is affected by total damage

maybe thats the thing

[mild stone]

The damage of the item is affected by total damage. Not the animation, right?

[meager niche]

yeah, the only time you'll see a longer chain and animation is if it gets a farther enemy or if you got multiple stacks

animation doesnt affect its dmg

[twin igloo]

knockback and the physics engine and stuff were heavy tweaked so that's what it'd be

[snow hemlock]

Has anyone come across a bug where u can't play the game on ps5?

[mild stone]

I don't have a PS5.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

[frail merlin]

Finally done with captain e8, 5 more to go next is artificer

This one was probably the hardest for me, because I suck at aiming with the shotgun and his lack of aoE was actually depressing he was also so damn slow that made runs so time consuming

[pale mountain]

Here #1173367688710586428 message

[pale mountain]

Well yeah knockback was broken before

[mild stone]

I don't know what "knockback" is. Is it specific to sentient meat hooks, or does it involve any item that moves enemies around (e.g., will o the wisp, shatterspleen)?

[frail merlin]

Will o wisp used to launch enemies now it just explode knocking it back just a little

[pale mountain]

Anything that moved you really. Mithrix smacking you glued you to the ceiling for 10 secs

[compact jay]

So

I found out that if you own the DLC you can’t play it if you’re not online
That’s the most obnoxious crap ever dude

My internet went out and I’m like, cool, I’ll keep playing risk of rain
I don’t have the characters or anything
Now I’m curious if when my internet does come back on if it’s going to wipe my unlocks

[frail merlin]

Really weird decision because apparently switch doesn’t require a connection to use the dlc and I don’t think gearbox ever having mentioning this

[pale mountain]

Nope haven't

[meager niche]

you need to play online for DLC ???

thats fucked, never had it happen to me tho weir

[wispy crypt]

Seems to be an xbox thing

[frail merlin]

Probably but I’ve heard that ps5 don’t have problems but ps4 does apparently

[quartz bay]

idk if this would work because i dont have a xbox but try going into your system settings and turn off your consoles ability to connect to the internet manually
#ror2-bug-reports-console message

[compact jay]

Will try next time
I’m online again but it was just a bummer lol

[meager niche]

possibly bc its digital??? i wouldnt have a clue tho

[compact jay]

Yeah some dlc thing don’t download onto the game itself. And some games require you to be online to “verify” that you own it and such too
Not sure why it’s selective though or how that’s decided

[pale mountain]

Decided by the devs being weird

[compact jay]

NOOOOOOO

Depression has hit me hard - let me post this clip, one sec

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/fg6tVDu74K WHYYYY

I have spent so long grinding, and the void smited me

For the love of god WHY

[paper moss]

Idk if this is a bug so I'm not putting it in but report but I genuinely laughed at this

Sorry the clip takes a sec to show what I'm talking about

"you spin me right round baby right round"

[white quarry]

Mithrix must have created them to spin
Sick shmooves is war

[white quarry]

Also first pin since dlc

[meager niche]

"How do you drive this thing?!" ass animation 😂

[spare swift]

I feel like the hosting multiplayer private matches have gotten significantly worse in terms of connection stability ever since the Survivors of the Void update dropped on xbox. Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me and my buddies?

[meager niche]

idk connection does happen but not too often

its mainly people leaving, or the game blacking out when the lobby timer ends

wait nvm connection stability, most def

[upbeat star]

Had a similar thing happen to an incinerator drone, I’ve actually sent it here before so it shouldn’t be hard to find

[regal edge]

Omg its the Engineer

[frail merlin]

Once every 2-4 months he appears

[fluid rapids]

how's it going gamers

[frail merlin]

[wintry ivy]

[buoyant wing]

if i bought the dlc on steam, do i have to buy it again on switch if I want to play it?

[meager niche]

yes

[buoyant wing]

maiiiinnnnn phuck

[meager niche]

hey man, you can wait for a couple of years and hope they add cross progression

[vivid kettle]

does anybody know WHY exactly we can't have keyboard n mous support?

[cinder zealot]

why are you going for a downgrade

[meager niche]

we dunno, it got taken off some time ago

[vivid kettle]

wait WE HAD IT?

[meager niche]

used to yeah

[vivid kettle]

which update was it that removed it

[meager niche]

idk, all ik is that it used to be on console

[vivid kettle]

the only thing besides technical issues i can think of is maybe competitive advantage

but guess what , this game is not that competitive to not have quality of life

[meager niche]

lmao, competitve advtange?

oh well, we dont know why they did, it might get added back but thats up for gearbox

[vivid kettle]

the only thing i can think of is railgunner with artifact of chaos on multiplayer lol

[meager niche]

man thats on the players lmao but competitive advantage is crazy

[vivid kettle]

i know , i KNOW that the gbx employees are not to blame but why can't they just do it lol

[meager niche]

if they ever do, its either gonna be this next DLC or next year

[vivid kettle]

do you think the dlc is gonna release the same date as pc

[meager niche]

i can only hope, im hoping the DLC is mostly done and they got most of the team on the console port of things

[vivid kettle]

also do you think we get providence as a boss or a playable character lol

my friend believes in the mithrix v providence gameplay

[cinder zealot]

they are delaying the pc release until console is complete

[vivid kettle]

damn that's cool of them

[cinder zealot]

🤨

[buoyant wing]

because i wanna play with my girlfriend?

judgy ass

[vivid kettle]

buy her a pc

better idea than playing distant roost on drizzle at 15 fps

damn that sounds agressive , i was mean towards switch performance not your skill lol

[buoyant wing]

i dont have that kind of money lol

[vivid kettle]

walter white some cash into existance

yes i just used "walter white" as a verb🗿

[buoyant wing]

corny asf

never asking anything ever again

[vivid kettle]

i'm sorry😭

[meager niche]

reasonable response

[paper moss]

Omg it is the engineer!!!!

[quartz bay]

tbf it is true lol

switch performance is garbo

[craggy harbor]

why does nobody use the console vc in this server

[thin vale]

xbox party

[meager niche]

why would they

[craggy harbor]

because its convenient

like. its there for a reason

[thin vale]

xbox party

[craggy harbor]

im not gonna go ask ppl to send me an invite to an xbox party dude

[meager niche]

ps and xbox parties

[thin vale]

thats

[craggy harbor]

Logical

[thin vale]

one click of a button

you also get audio on game and call

instead of just audio on the call and the game being on your tv

[meager niche]

^^

[craggy harbor]

are you forgetting xbox has discord integration now

[thin vale]

i find the audio to be worse there

[craggy harbor]

Its miles better what the fuck are you talking about

[meager niche]

nuh uh

[craggy harbor]

Xbox parties dont have noise suppression

[thin vale]

they do though

its an option believe it or not

[craggy harbor]

I’ve looked. It’s not an option

[thin vale]

brother im on a party rn, its written "noise suppression"

[meager niche]

i mean even if a few people use the discord VCs atleast its not being put to waste

[thin vale]

i just dont have my phone to picture it, ran out of battery

[meager niche]

alot of people simply prefer parties

[rotund island]

Wait, we have our own special spot? lol

[quartz bay]

yes

welcome to the cope nation

[spark tide]

Notice how RoRR also doesn’t have a console discussion

[thin vale]

maybe because the game isnt on consoles?

[spark tide]

The switch isn’t a console?

Sophisticated handheld I guess?

[thin vale]

yeah pretty much

didnt even knew it released on the switch

[spark tide]

It has parity there so they don’t need a separate chat.

[white quarry]

^

[frail merlin]

Switch rorr had some multiplayer bugs but that’s about it

[mild stone]

I remember trying keyboard and mouse on my Xbox Series X before the 2023 patch, and it didn't work

Gearbox are prioritizing getting the DLC working on console so that they can sell more copies; improving the overall console experience is not part of that, so I strongly doubt that we'll get any such improvements (or fixes to any of the problems introduced by the 2023 patch)

[wispy crypt]

They literally stated that they wanted to get console and pc version as similar as possible so further development would be easier

Console bug fixes are definitely a priority to them

[mild stone]

The 2023 patch solved some problems, but it was a downgrade in lots of ways, which in my subjective experience, resulted in an overall less fun game

Their statements say one thing, but to me, their actions say something else.

I know that some people disagree with me on this

[wispy crypt]

Im pretty sure they had to release it early to use the ror 10th anniversary to promote the update

[mild stone]

Interesting... I commented that their priority is in selling more copies, rather than improving the game. This is evidence of that. Selling more copies trumps releasing a high quality product.

[wispy crypt]

I do believe the gearbox devs care a lot about this series

Not too sure about their higher ups though

[meager niche]

blame the suits not the devs

I HOPE they'll eventually fix alot of things plus add more to 2

but i hope the devs will have enough time to do these things

this isn't a yearly cod, it should be possible without pressure from the higher ups

[mild stone]

My comments referred to Gearbox. I didn't say anything about devs.

[meager niche]

gotu, mb

[quartz bay]

as long as you aren't playing the switch version its a much better experience than before imo lel

the switch version is just annoying to play with its slideshow fps and still present switch difficulty scaling

[wispy crypt]

the switch does not have the old scaling it used to have

Unfortunately

I feel the switch also got mostly improved

[quartz bay]

ill always be a beliver thst it does still have some sort of scaling issue because like this isnt normal

[wispy crypt]

It always feels like that the mass pillars specifically have more enemy spawns

[quartz bay]

the game in general feels like it has more enemy spawns, especially compared to when i play on ps5

[spark tide]

I have it on switch and PS and switch got nerfed in comparison when dlc dropped.

If the switch wasn’t at 60fps before that was the smoothest 45 I’ve ever seen. Now it’s below 30 or choppy at 30

[quartz bay]

before it was probably 30 fps, now its just very choppy

playing the game at a constant 60 fps on my ps5 i dont think i can ever go back to that switch's slideslow, 60 is just too good lol

[frail merlin]

The switch still refuses to crash no matter how negative my fps will go

[wispy crypt]

I use the switch fps as a measuring tool

The more powerful the framedrops the more powerful the survivor

[quartz bay]

its kinda crazy, i have tried before but it just refuses to die😭

[wispy crypt]

Yeah its insanely optimised

Even 15 simultaneous glowing meteorite activations couldnt kill my game

In multiplayer at that

[meager niche]

In 5 days it's going to be 3 months since the update.

[frail merlin]

I was at stage 100+ and my switch was still kicking it might hold out better than my pc😭

[mighty citrus]

I haven't played ror2 in a hot minute hows everyone doing?

[sour osprey]

Man idk, if they dont listen to us console players demanding a patch to make the game playable, I domt know what else do we have to do

[mighty citrus]

Im sure they are working on it

And I didn't really have any problems in my playthroughs, hell I was flying through eclipse runs normally might just be me tho

[meager niche]

Eh, console still has alot of problems, new ones brought in with the DLC

[meager niche]

I doubt they'd think they did a good job with the recent patch

they did but ik they dont think its finished and on par with PC

Just give it time man

[mighty citrus]

I didn't really expect much im just super glad I can play ror2 up to date (technically)

[frail merlin]

Can’t wait for them to delay the new dlc for console and combine the patch and dlc like before

[mighty citrus]

Oh god

[spark tide]

bug fixes in 2026 along with new bugs... but hey at least the switch is at a stable 30fps.... too bad blazing elites are deadly again

[wispy crypt]

And fall damage is applied thrice

[compact jay]

For the love of god- when will knockback be fixed lol

This bug is so painful sometimes

[frail merlin]

Might as well add back the 5x knockback combined with the new triple fall damage

[frail merlin]

Also it is fixed we have normal knockback now

[compact jay]

You mean to tell me that getting yeeted to the top of the skybox of the map is NORMAL?
That literally never happened before the bug came

[frail merlin]

You sure you are playing the new version?

[compact jay]

How could I be online with the DLC

Bro the knockback is still there lol

[compact jay]

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/nu77EbUzhi this ain’t normal man lol

That’s not even the worst I’ve seen or experienced. But that is a prime example

[frail merlin]

Seems like gearbox gave you a special bug all for yourself

[compact jay]

HAAAAA you got jokes

[meager niche]

It's fixed, before everything was like 3 times more knockback than intended, now it's normal, the thing is, we have to consider multiple factors, like if you were in the air during the hit and the momentum of the jump and the hit sky rocket you, if the attack has a really high pulling/pushing property, like the hooks of the grovetender, (especially if you took them point blank ).

[wispy crypt]

Oh yeah the knockback used to be awful

[compact jay]

Even not being point blank, I get YEETED still sometimes man
I refuse to believe this is normal lol

[wispy crypt]

WAIT FUCK I SHOULDVE INVENTED DIABLO LAUNCHING WHILE THAT STILL EXISTED

[frail merlin]

The prime example was how the stone titan pillar could just make you fly

[wispy crypt]

IT WOULDVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER

DAMMIT

[wispy crypt]

But it still do tgat dont it?

[frail merlin]

I don’t think that one did so much I only remember hitting the sky box once

[meager niche]

It's normal, I have seen that on PC, before I believe if you got hit like that you just teleports to the skybox in one frame.

[compact jay]

Characters that do not have movement abilities like captain are rendered helpless when you get yeeted like that

[wispy crypt]

The horizontal boost though

[frail merlin]

Nope it pathetic compared to how it used to be

[compact jay]

Yeah but you don’t always teleport

You have to hit the top to teleport.

[frail merlin]

Good point never tried

[wispy crypt]

Also it launched me to the skybox of commencement back then

The upper one

Had to use a feather to stop the momentum

[frail merlin]

Man I just remember how brutal wisp were with that bug I was treated like a volley ball

[wispy crypt]

I found em useful

Small boosts to traverse the map better

The lunar wisps though

2 options either get carried across the stage or bullied into a corner you cant escape from

[frail merlin]

That if they hit you horizontal if you get hit vertically you will literally get one shot or lose half you health thanks to fall damage

[wispy crypt]

Paired with credits accumulating while in the temple and then releasing like 4 of em onto you at the entrance

Whoever at hopoo decided to randomly add some structures near the exit of that place saved all my pre loop runs

[frail merlin]

If only I ever did buttons but no I don’t even have the choice to pot roll

[wispy crypt]

Potrolling was so fucking easy back then

Like it actually felt like an intended mechanic

And now they glued em to the ground

[frail merlin]

I do remember it being easier in console now it quite the reverse

[wispy crypt]

I once tried it with acrid and just walked against a pot

The thing just rolled like a normal pot irl would roll if you rolled it

Actually felt like the natural solution to that puzzle

Sometimes I miss the old scaling

It was pretty fun

Always kept you on the edge

[frail merlin]

The old scaling was wild I did kinda enjoy the old scaling it made stuff quite chaotic but oh boy did it suck at multiplayer you needed the most elite team to survive what the game threw at you

[wispy crypt]

I think it was good

It felt like what monsoon shouldve felt like imo

[frail merlin]

Nope cause the harder difficulty caused many in multiplayer to become command player that just infected the lfg

[wispy crypt]

I used to be a command player

But then I decided I wanted to play risk of rain 2 not risk of snooze 2

And also wanted to get captain mastery legitimately

[compact jay]

No one likes playing without command anymore

I just like sacrifice lol
Cus people can’t share items without it

[wispy crypt]

Got blessed with a stage 1 tesla coil in one run and managed to obliterate

[frail merlin]

Fr as soon sacrifice or command turns on people forget all about sharing and becomes pure loot goblin, risk of stealing 2

[compact jay]

Yeah I hardly play with randoms in this game

I used to in 1 a bit

[wispy crypt]

I played with randos before the sotv update

[frail merlin]

I usually just have my eyes on the lfg and joins whenever I see a non command match

[wispy crypt]

Because I wasnt here at that time

The only reason I even got here in the first place was cuz coincidentally the europe switch release of sotv was delayed and I was confused af and went here to see if there was anything about it

[frail merlin]

It was depressing before dlc there was like 90% command now it’s about 50%

[wispy crypt]

I used to sit in lobbies for hours until someone joined

[frail merlin]

I forgot quickplay existed, just don’t use it

[wispy crypt]

Advantage of that was that I almost always had the ability to use the tiny host privileges to always force command sacrifice and swarms off

Because the hosts vote takes priority in a tie

[frail merlin]

The main problem with quick play was just everyone left when they die or get bored

[wispy crypt]

And when multiple people had vote settings before joining a lobby that carried over

[wispy crypt]

Unfortunately

Tbh they should make an artifact that increased director credits

Like old console but since its an artifact even more bloated

It would be hell but funny hell

[frail merlin]

The old director used to spawn a bunch of elites and bosses leaving no credit for smaller enemies

Getting a artifact would be kinda weird when it’s basically just a harder monsoon we have already mods for that also

[wispy crypt]

Ok but

Console dont got mods

And it would sorta fit

[frail merlin]

Yep but my point was just make a difficulty instead of artifact

[wispy crypt]

Like "artifact of mass
Increases enemy alertness (or smth)"

[frail merlin]

Artifact of madness?
Spawns more stronger and bigger enemies

I do wonder tho if the upcoming dlc will have some artifact with it because damn hasn’t it been long since we got one

[wispy crypt]

I hope so

Artifacts are so fun to mess around with

I would love to have more options to combine

[frail merlin]

I do wanna have a artifact that makes the game more interesting instead of just a small concept

[wispy crypt]

Its like creating a diy eclipse except you can also choose between drizzle rsinstorm and monsoon if you made something too crazy for your skill level

[wispy crypt]

Well thats what artifacts just are

Somewhat small additions that can be combined in various ways to create unique experiences

Theyre like item builds but for the entire game feel

[frail merlin]

Well how about a more larger impact instead of just fall damage, wisp spawn when enemies dies, and more that doesn’t affect the game so much, chaos and metamorphosis I think is a great example of this

But I don’t play much artifact at all to know my stuff

[wispy crypt]

Yeah i feel like soul should be more like cognation from returns

Where it spawns a temporary extremely strong copy of enemies you killed

[frail merlin]

Haven’t tried that one but it does sounds interesting especially in a bullet hell like ror2

Maybe randomizing loadout every 2-3 min would be interesting if there existed more alt abilities

Or actually how chaotic would it be if your item was randomized every 5 min because that sounds interesting for me

[wispy crypt]

Yeah new artifacts could really spice up the game

Especially if they work well in conjunction with the others

[frail merlin]

Just gotta add that variety to the artifact and we are set

[compact jay]

New bug discovered

[wispy crypt]

Gearbox take notes

[compact jay]

Loader’s hookshot cannot be used in the planetarium islands

At least, not on the soil parts of it

That actually explains why I died to the black hole attack one time when I tried hooking away

[wispy crypt]

What islands

[compact jay]

Like, where you fight voidling

[wispy crypt]

You got an image of the specific structure?

[compact jay]

You can’t grab the ground. Your hand shoots through it

[wispy crypt]

Or is it like the WAIT ITS THE ENTIRE RING WITH ALL STRUCTURES AND EVERYTHING?

Dammmmmm thats a mass scale effect of that bug

[compact jay]

The entire surface yeah minus the objects on it

[wispy crypt]

Yeah some things like distant roost trees have no collision to things like projectile or corpses

Though the entirety of all the rings minus any structures is pretty nuts

[compact jay]

I think that’s actually why I can’t get the voidling log

Everything falls through the island as a result lol
I’d have to double check to see if objects fail to collide as a result. But I think healing orbs phase through too

[wispy crypt]

Oh no thatd be awful

But yeah its only projectiles and some type of object

And only with some type of surface

[compact jay]

I mean it would make sense if that was the case because I have killed voidling many times and yet to see the log lol
Except one time where it literally fell into the void

The perfect way to test would be bandolier. I didn’t pay attention if the mags drop through

Time to do a command run to find out

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/9stzh8zUUj loader bug clip

Happens on all 3 islands

[wispy crypt]

Yeah that definitely looks just like the roost tree bug

Though I wonder why some objects/grounds are different from the rest

And why only some objects fall through it

[compact jay]

More than likely because they made the islands hollow on the inside, so it wouldn’t surprise me if objects clip through them (like the log)

[wispy crypt]

No thats not how it works

[compact jay]

I want to test w bandolier to confirm though for objects

[wispy crypt]

Almost every surface is hollow

[compact jay]

Healing orbs for sure fall sometimes

[wispy crypt]

Its just some surfaces or objects that less certain objects and projectiles/hitscan pass through

Though im absolutely clueless as to why certain surfaces dont interact with certain objects because the collection of surfsces and objects affected seems pretty random

[frail merlin]

So silly of gearbox must have forgotten this one with also the double fall damage

[wispy crypt]

I wish we could actually discuss weird oddities like this directly with the devs

Because they have the magic behind the bugs visible to them

They have the code we dont

And I really want to know what sets these surfaces and objects apart from the rest

Like pls gearbox one of you explain what the distant roost trees and planetarium rings actually are

Are they surfaces are they objects are they something else entirely

[frail merlin]

Assuming it’s the same people working at the patch as before they did technically fix all the old bugs and should have 2 years of console ror2 fixing experience so I’m expecting to see them meeting our expectations a bit better than before because it’s ridiculous how double fall damage was allowed/not noticed

[wispy crypt]

I believe most of these bugs were created by them not beinf able to polish the version in time with parts of the code having to be rewritten in another engine

Now that that part has hopefully been completed they should be able to focus solely on fixing the bugs directly and should take less time

Unless they are as clueless as we are

[frail merlin]

Yeah I know that and I think it’s reasonable how the other new bug exist but the priority must have gone so wrong with the double fall damage bug probably also the switch setting crash bug

[wispy crypt]

I believe joie once said that during testing the switch settings bug didnt occur

[frail merlin]

That’s so weird cause the setting bug sounds tricky and maybe time consuming so I assumed they didn’t have time to fix it but they didn’t encounter it at all is disappointing on my end

[wispy crypt]

Yeah its very weird

Thats why I wish we had more communication because at least I would be way more understanding of the situation if they just told us what happened behind the scenes

[frail merlin]

Found this funny prediction I made a couple of months ago when we are still in the silence

Found it

[wispy crypt]

Yeah they fucking rocked the optimisation

Ive never been able to crash the game through overloads even when it very much sounded and looked like the game was gonna fall apart any second

I should just count how many simultaneous activations it takes for me to crash the game cuz even at just a few layers it heavily lags the game and should probably crash it somewhere around 30 activations

Which is still absolutely insane

[frail merlin]

He didn’t lie just gave us a very wrong idea and apparently very many people remember this message which made a couple of switch player mad for a short while I remember

[wispy crypt]

Idk I think it runs perfectly fine on switch

As long as its just lag and doesnt give me constant anxiety of crashing im happy

[frail merlin]

I got used to the lag after like 5 runs but like the first time I played the dlc it felt damn laggy

[wispy crypt]

Like I can barely play the outer wilds dlc because random crazy shit happens like the entire ground just disappearing

But with ror2 the lag feels almost like a part of the game

[frail merlin]

Yeah Ngl I wish my pc was a persistent as switch it can randomly crash which annoys me

[wispy crypt]

Aint no way that tiny ass thing can hold ror2 together better than an entire pc

[frail merlin]

Just ignore the 250+ mods I had on

[wispy crypt]

[meager niche]

i regret picking up void items on viend

[wispy crypt]

Why which ones

[meager niche]

threw a run and i was corrupted half of time, died at voidling in void fog

wouldn't of happen if i didnt stack so much items, but man we ball

[compact jay]

Btw what item changes the corruption start/end number for void fiend

Cus I notice it’ll move from 0% to like 5 sometimes

[cinder zealot]

each void item gives +2% minimum corruption

[compact jay]

I see

[wispy crypt]

Yes this does mean that with 50 void items you will permanently be in corrupt form

[compact jay]

Woah, that’s scary

[meager niche]

its painful.

[wispy crypt]

At 13 or more void items youll always be over 25% so you can always suppress while uncorrupted

[quartz bay]

mad for a short while? im still mad! 😈

i went from switch defender to switch hater in a single dlc

even if its well optimized in the it wont crash department, i cant play this game at a rocky 2fps

[wispy crypt]

To me the lag has become an artistic form of the game to convey the survivors power instead of just being a performance issue

Its so much more fun to be in slideshow mode with that perspective on it

[paper kestrel]

Does anyone know how i died here ?

[meager niche]

you procced the collapse on yourself when you went up the rim of the ring

merc has a weird bug where he can self damage if he fucks around near a wall with his utility or special

[paper kestrel]

Ahhhh thanks my friend and i were hella confused

[meager niche]

yeah, be careful with that in eclipse 3 lmao

[paper kestrel]

Ong

[frail merlin]

The average switch masochist enjoyer🤝

[frail merlin]

A void infested squid turret was laying around for some reason don’t know why you died to the planet tho

[gritty fog]

Cause it was his turret and he was dead so it was planet

[frail merlin]

Feels like it should still count as the squid turret kill

[thick solstice]

Max corruption void fiend is the only way I can play anymore

[candid olive]

ok

[twin igloo]

seems like a you problem ngl

[pale mountain]

Command moment

[upbeat star]

Diagnosis: twisted ankle

[gleaming nova]

I have been playing on Switch/PS5 lately as I've been trying to get all the remaining items I haven't unlocked but one problem im having is the performance issues on switch mainly the frame drops feel a lot more worse than pre-rebuild (tbh tho have not played pre-rebuild on switch that much so please correct me if I'm wrong). I dont notice too much performance issues on PS5 except for the sulfur pools stage I have not seen any crashed though that ruined any runs I've had.

[pale mountain]

Nah you're right

[gleaming nova]

Just wish I some comparison to show... I'll definitely check my video files for any switch clips I've saved later today

[frail merlin]

The awful frame rate on switch is the best part really glad gearbox lowered it to show us what switch player really wanted

[pale mountain]

So true. They know their masochist player base

[mighty citrus]

Nintendo really needs a new console soon

[wispy crypt]

I could not live without it

[quartz bay]

i got u
left is pre, right is post

[frail merlin]

Unfair how your switch have lower frame rates than mine, my game would be so crunchy if my 5+ year old switch didn’t break

[short ferry]

no way they botched the switch port even worse after a patch

[quartz bay]

LOL 😭

[quartz bay]

that was my reaction too

i mentioned this i think yesterday but i went from switch defender to switch hater when the update dropped lol

[frail merlin]

Might as well add this to show how a pretty new and better switch is on ror2

[quartz bay]

that snipe LOL

[dusky rivet]

First time discovering the fear of spare drone part

[sour osprey]

@quartz bay man the new one is awful. Just gotta prey for them to actually care about us

[quartz bay]

tru

thankfully i have the game on ps5 so i dont have to suffer too much with the framerate lol

[frail merlin]

But didn’t ps and Xbox get the biggest hit in performance compared to switch we switch player are basically masochist anyways so we don’t worry about frame rates

[quartz bay]

last gen, new gen from what ive seen/played is a constant 60fps (besides when bosses die on sulfur pools for some reason)

im still very curious how ps4/xbox one play because i still haven't seen anyone on youtube talk about those versions lol

[frail merlin]

I’ve heard my share of performance complaints from ps4/xbox user so much that it started to sound like how switch has doing before the dlc

[spark tide]

I feel 0 difference post/pre patch on PS5. Probably feels better. But I have seen that the game randomly crashes for people.

[quartz bay]

lmao

[spark tide]

Hasn’t happened to me personally but I’m always afraid of that

Switch will chug away and the run won’t randomly end unless you decide to change any settings

[quartz bay]

ive seen the game boot people out from a run randomly, but personally that hasn't happened to me yet on ps5

[frail merlin]

Nah the switch won’t crash (except for the setting bug) that thing is way to persistent in not crashing

[spark tide]

I play until I get 1 shot from my own hubris

So I don’t know if the crash affects ps5 but I’ve seen it on a ps4 in bug reports

[frail merlin]

I’ve heard that because they internet would probably have turned off or was unstable and because the dlc requires a connection it would just make them leave

This was just a theory no one really confirmed why the game was randomly booting people out of the game but this is the closet reason I got

[wispy crypt]

Guess they just arent used to a game dropping 2 frames below max capacity

[short ferry]

My Xbox shtting the bed on stage 4:

[wispy crypt]

Stage 4?

[short ferry]

Unless you have the 17th brand new Xbox one or a ps5, the game will not be steady fps

[short ferry]

That's what I'm sayin

My laptop runs it better its very comedic

[spark tide]

That’s my switch on stage 2 but it is first gen switch and I do have swarm on

PS5 doesn’t feel like that until at least stage 15 and that’s when I don’t bother killing anything

[gleaming nova]

Thank you! Shame it runs performs worse then it did before the rebuild hopefully they do plan on fixing/patching some of the performance issues related to the new versions ||(also that one setting change bug I have 🥺)|| as I still do play the game on switch from time to time when I wanna join up with friends.

[sour osprey]

We dont play. We wait and pray for an update. I want to play it so bad but know imma get mad at the devs and game so I dont do it

[wispy crypt]

Well thats dumb

Just because of some performance issues

Your performance is not dictated by the game's performance

And besides it can get really funny to see the game shit itself with 10 activations

[sour osprey]

Thats completely true my brother. But when I cant turn around without a lag spike its kinda uncomfortable you know

[sour osprey]

I understand you truly. But what shits itself is my ps4 trying to load in everything

[wispy crypt]

Thats also pretty funny imo

Since the game has been optimised to prevent crashes the lag feels "safe" and shouldnt be more than a mild bother

[sour osprey]

Man. What console do you play in

[wispy crypt]

Switch

An oled but the normal one shouldnt be that bad too

[sour osprey]

Then I truly respect you. Idk how you do it

Again im not telling people to not enjoy console experience. Im sayin that to me on my ps4 it gets to a point that lag is so bad is straight up unplayable

[wispy crypt]

Theres just something hilarious about the game just hitting some otherworldly lag spikes out of nowhere

Especially when I myself cause them knowing the effects on the framerate

[sour osprey]

To me thats desperating. Seeing how the game did before patch and how bad it does now, man, it almost seems they didnt care

[wispy crypt]

Nah they def do

They just had to rebuild the entire code in a different engine and seemed to not have been able to do it in time before hitting a deadline

[sour osprey]

Yeah when you cause them is funny thats right. But now when I suddently lag out and die, all because a shot didnt properly load itself

Im not saying im good obviously im not but I want to improve, and starting a game just to arrive to sulfur pools and my ps4 about to explote id rsther not play

[frail merlin]

It’s funny how basically all switch player I’ve seen have a fear for railgunner cause it’s basically impossible to aim with 5 fps also the reason why I decided to complete e8 on it like any masochist would do

[wispy crypt]

At that point I couldnt even see any shots because of all the things happening in game

[sour osprey]

Yeah but they can still do patches yo solve the problems right? Or are thy gonna wait till new dlc just to release a patch that just makes the game worse

As it happened with the patch of SOTV

[wispy crypt]

Well iirc theres 2 different groups within the team working on the console patches and sots development and since they dont have to redo the entire code again fixes should be faster

[sour osprey]

Sometimes I just ask for a message from them. Saying that they noticed the performance problems and are working on em.
But by the time of today we can only pray and assume they care when we truly dont know. And given they patch with SOTV, man that doesnt add up well...

[frail merlin]

Oh yeah the new dlc is probably gonna make the switch version even more crispier can’t wait for that maybe even it will be bad enough to make switch user complain more

[wispy crypt]

Basically they went 2 step off course went 2 steps back but only managed to do one step in the right direction within time so far

[wispy crypt]

I doubt it but it sure would be funny

[sour osprey]

First time im listening that. Hope its true honestly

[frail merlin]

I still don’t believe gearbox whenever they say that console was top priority because now that I am looking back that had to be a lie

[sour osprey]

Totally agree. Man if ita preority how can u shit yourself so bad with the patch and just dont say anything about it.
Im losing my papers, but its only one tweet, one message saying theyllbe adressing issues.
And not us praying for them to listen to us, if they said they care so much about the franchise in the announcement of new dlc, then lidten to your audience. Or is it a crazy idea?

[pale mountain]

Yeah you're crazy actually

[frail merlin]

Only a true ror2 player is crazy and a masochist

[meager niche]

[spark tide]

Expecting gearbox post BL2 to care about a game is crazy

[mighty citrus]

True

[torn fossil]

im sure the janitor is working very hard to make sure console ror2 gets to its best

[pale mountain]

Poor fella has been working overtime for years now

[tepid vine]

And the potted plant

Don't forget the potted plant

[untold otter]

We seriously need a performance upgrade update. Been stuck here for 3min 😂😂

Tryna get Voidling Monster Log, and my Xbox has other plans

I am moving at 1 Frame a minute. This is awful 😂😂😂

And it finally crashed.

[wispy crypt]

Buddy even pc would struggle with that

Not as much as console but thats because its literally built for high performance

[frail merlin]

100 clover💀 that might be a record

[untold otter]

I was REALLY desperate for that monster log 😂😂😂

[untold otter]

I had a budget PC in 2010 standard that could run that smooth, We just need the same stuff on PC like toggle Corpse amount and stuff

[wispy crypt]

I mean we already have a money and xp effect toggle with does a lot

It just kinda crashes the switch but thats not relevant rn

[frail merlin]

You all should see the graphic setting pc have cause meanwhile console only get a exp and money toogle pc have like 20 different stuff to change the graphics

[untold otter]

This exactly haha. Like I ran WAY more items on my budget PC and didn't even drop below 60FPS

[frail merlin]

I don’t think any pc would handle 100 clover combined with atg you would just crash as soon those atg start stacking real quick

[sour osprey]

So godam true man

[sour osprey]

Yes it would

Man it had to be gearbox who picked up the game. So passionate for dlc but not so much for player comfort

[spark tide]

You would slowdown to 1fps at best for like 2min then the game would go back to stability.

[trim valley]

Hey hey hey, we don’t need a performance update. We all know that the true way to win a run is crashing the game /j

[dire bane]

never

[frail merlin]

[boreal olive]

[paper kestrel]

Yo is collapse broken like everytime i get affected by it I just die

is it bugged or am i just bad

[meager niche]

Not super powerful early game

late game is where it really becomes lethal

[paper kestrel]

so im just bad got it

its one of the only things that kills me

[meager niche]

400% dmg per stack

[paper kestrel]

jesus christ

noted

[lean isle]

Any new update after dlc ?

[gritty fog]

Has anyone noticed the bug with thunder gauntlet that makes it shock outside the cone as well

[pale mountain]

No

[short ferry]

It's damage is based off of the base damage of the monster that procced it iirc

So a voidtouched beetle or golem is not nearly as scary as a voidtouched elder lem or boss

[dusky rivet]

The fear i get whenever i see a void touched greater wisp or elder lemerian

Me watching myself die after I dared to touch a single pixel an overloading worm’s hit box (it is bigger than the model)

[vapid sedge]

the mercenary ethereal challenge on switch is actual hell

[upbeat star]

Economic prosperity

I like sacrifice along with eulogy zero because of this kind of situation

I could have farmed near infinite lunars for pearls if I had defiant gouge

[pale mountain]

You can change the date on switch to get an easy one

[frail merlin]

Or just be cabbage and do it no matter what

[bitter meteor]

Anyone free to do a run?

Vc 1 if anyone does

[bitter meteor]

vc 7*

i am on xbox

[gritty fog]

#lfg-xbox-ror2

[bitter meteor]

thank you

[frail merlin]

And you would have probably survived that if the double fall damage bug didn’t exist

[wispy crypt]

No they wouldnt have

Didnt look like they were able to fire the ball in time

[frail merlin]

Assuming this is console he should have taken fall damage 2 times resulting in double fall damage 4x on eclipse but looking more closely im not seeing the 2 damage number but he did take about 400 from the fall damage and half that is 200 but he would probably survive if he used the ball sooner
