[wispy crypt]

The tickrate remains the same otherwise the game would be wayyyyy slower

[wind mural]

Did anyone know that there's a huge ass purple globe under the mythrix arena in the simulacrum?

[light pine]

Woah

[wind mural]

Plus the ramps are rotating for no apparent reason

[violet venture]

when playing with a friend we had it 2 times now that the framerate became very very bad when getting to the moon

Is this normal or is that just for us?

Whats the issue there

[frail merlin]

Random chance for the moon to get very laggy. A very annoying glitch

[violet venture]

yeah excatly that

its just random?

[frail merlin]

Someone did think it got something to do with void item but I’ve gotten it without void item, so yeah.

[violet venture]

but you're saying theres a chance its gonna be normal sometimes?

[frail merlin]

If you catch the bug, it’s gonna last the entire run and it’s get worse the more enemies you kill from my experience.

[wispy crypt]

Yeah I experienced it it one run throughout the entire run but not any other time

Something just has the game struggling beyond belief

Though as a tradeoff we also have the ability to get mithrix to jump off into the damn abyss and oneshot himself

[meager niche]

I believe it is a combination of items (really likely to be void items) that makes your game really laggy after killing lunar chimeras, because before I started to play Elden ring I did a simulacrum run where I got the moon stage twice during it, the first time I got it I didn't had any void items but as I progressed through the stages I got again the moon stage on simulacrum and I had void items and my game started to lag a lot, the funniest thing is that, I play on Xbox series x and my game was lagging after killing the first lunar chimeras on the second time I got to the moon stage.

[wind mural]

I have a very peculiar question

Why can't someone, with artifact of command and while in simulacrum, can't choose squid polyp? Like what the hell did my guy do wrong

[wind mural]

My guy are you playing on a toaster or it's just the average console experience

[wispy crypt]

No this is a weird console bug that occasionally happens and causes the entire run to be a lag fest

Its far from the usual framerate you get

[wind mural]

Which console specifically? Cuz it never happened to me

[frail merlin]

Calvin is having the same problem and he’s playing on Xbox

[sinful galleon]

I actually had a similar thing in one of my simulacrum runs, it activated the artifact of command as one of the augments for the wave and one item out of each rarity pool was locked for some reason.

No clue if it's an intended feature or another bizarre console bug.

[meager niche]

I believe all items that give you allies are blocked on simulacrum because you know, the area is moving every 5 rounds and having allies like drones or other things would be off for you to get them and they are constantly dying because of the void poison.

[sinful galleon]

Would make sense, I can't remember what the locked items were but it was probably those kinds.

[wintry ivy]

How

[toxic rock]

Yall wanna know something?

[wispy crypt]

Sure

[wintry ivy]

Go on spill the gossip

[wispy crypt]

This better not disappoint

[hot hill]

Spill the tea

[signal linden]

Once again bringing up the buggyness of console bc wtf is this.

[wispy crypt]

Interesting that it doesnt update to mandos appropiate eclipse difficulty

[meager niche]

You play on Xbox, right?
That happens because you need a stable internet connection to be able to play the DLC and it's content, if you don't have internet you CAN'T play with the DLC content and if somehow your connection gets interfered by anything or goes down the speed, like with wifi connection, weird things will happen, in your example you load in to the survivor select menu with good internet but at some moment before starting your run your internet had a problem and you not longer couldn't play with the DLC content, in your case the void fiend so because of that problem the game default you to commando after starting the run.
If it happens again reset your game and pray that your internet doesn't go down or get interfered.

[hot hill]

Why would need an internet connection to play it single player

[signal linden]

Couldn't be that bc I did it 10 time in a row. If there was a problem with the internet, It would kick me out of the game since it can't detect that info, and if it couldn't detect it, it wouldn't even show up.

[wind mural]

Idk man, it's just there

[meager niche]

It was the only thing that came to my mind as an answer to your problem.

[meager niche]

Gearbox shenanigans.

[hot hill]

On only the xbox???

[meager niche]

Yep. Playstation and switch players confirmed that they don't need internet to play the DLC because they actually downloaded something after buying the DLC, on Xbox it doesn't download anything so I don't know why gearbox decided for Xbox that you will download the license key for the DLC once you are in the game with an internet connection instead of downloading the license key directly on your console like playstation and switch.

[signal linden]

I know Hopoo wouldnt have worked on it for nearly as long as Gearbox will but gearbox in the short time they have had it has made it worse, at least on console.

Like they deleted geometry of the mithrix arena

[hot hill]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-gif-26460616

The key is like 3MB if the switch store is to be believed

[rose bolt]

Played on switch for a few runs yesterday
To test sensitivity issues

Turns out it's easy as fuck to get enemies to clip through walls as Captain with fully charged m1

[signal linden]

You can get mithrix to clip out of the Arena for a free phase, and it's repeatable, I just don't know how.

[wispy crypt]

Are you sure?

Back in the sotv update it happened all the time but since devotion rolled around I barely see it happen anymore even when I specifically try to go for it

[quartz bay]

luckily this doesn't happen on playstation, its never happened to me before

[quartz bay]

average ror2 switch gameplay tbh

daily ror2 switch roast has been accomplished

[wispy crypt]

May do some additional testing on this

But its strange

As far as I can recall the entire run just kinda lagged like crazy even before the moon

[dusky rivet]

[meager niche]

Noted

[rose bolt]

Yes
It literally happened so many times CASUALLY while I was playing captain.

Yesterday

And my game's updated
I have devotion and delusion

All I did was shoot them with fully charged m1 and even if the wall was far away they still clipped into it

It happened to 3-5 enemies in one run

It happened to a blazing beetle on stage 1

To a lemurian on uhhhhh wetland?

[wispy crypt]

Ye I pretty much only see it on beetles lems and wisps nowadays and that not too often

I think I once shot a blind vermin through a wall but Im not sure if that was before or after devotion

[leaden aspen]

anyone know if you can host skip on console? Ive been trying for a little bit but cant quite tell if you cant or if i just suck lol

[meager niche]

You can't, for whatever reason instead of teleporting in a fluid motion like on PC, on console whenever you get teleported back to the stage for a frame you touch an invisible flat floor and that invisible floor prevents us from making the host skip.

[leaden aspen]

damn that sucks

[wispy crypt]

Maybe that was put in place to prevent that one bug where you are stuck in a loop of falling and getting teleported slightly below the ground

[meager niche]

PC doesn't have that but console does have that, I am leaning more towards the failed attempt of "gearbox making console the same as PC after the rebuild".

[wind mural]

Isn't this supposed to spawn in stage 4 and beyond?

[wispy crypt]

Yeah thats what Im theorising too with that bug as an example

Unless its actually just a bug on its own that puts you in the grounded state right as you teleport

[meager niche]

It can spawn on stage 2 and beyond but it's a % chance, on stage 4 and 5 (9,10,1415,etc) multi shops are always green items.

[wind mural]

I also found a red printer on stage one post loop

[wispy crypt]

Yeah red printers are tied to stage count

Stage 5 and onwards can spawn them

[wind mural]

Oh, it was the first time seeing it outside stage 5

[wispy crypt]

Fun

I messed around for literally 3 seconds because I wanted to just play around a bit after some research and immediately clipped through the gate

I cant even get back out because the gate is still closed
If this was an actual run I wouldve been so mad lmao

[wispy crypt]

If consoles collision is already so brittle imagine the oob shenanigans you could do if you could reliably get a collision box to push your own collision box through walls

Actually maybe you could do that with loader's alt grapple and a light but big ally like the empathy solus probes

If that actually works im gonna cry of how ridiculously broken this version is

[old sage]

Am I just being a little brain gamer, or is something bugged out with rail gunner? Sometimes I shoot things and just do single digit damage. Crits are usually consistently doing fair enough damage, but, regular marksman shots just don’t do a single thing.

I don’t think this is a skill issue, at least, not in the instance. I feel like I should be doing more than 11 damage a shot.

[onyx igloo]

11 damage is way lower than the intended damage, bugged or not

[old sage]

I think I am not delusional. I did see a lot of 11’s and 50’s. I don’t think it was bleed, because I definitely noticed the fact I was doing next to no actual damage

My buddy thought it was a feature of the marksman, that maybe spamming it made it do less damage or something.

[onyx igloo]

Yeah, that's not a feature

[old sage]

I think I’ll have to science it a little more tomorrow, because, as mentioned, I am not entirely confident that I didn’t have some form of DOT. What I am confident is that this character seemingly just doesn’t do very much damage sporadically for seemingly no reason. I am hitting crit spots, and that does do noticeable, if still low damage.

I’m really erring to the idea of me just having dogshit runs, or something similar on my end, like not noticing dot, because I find it difficult to believe that what’s happening could be a bug. I am not a smart man

[onyx igloo]

11 damage is straight up impossible since railgunner starts with 12 base damage and marksman deals 450% damage per shot if i recall and 1000% for base secondary, sooo

[meager niche]

Since the SotV update this "problem" started, normally it happens when there are a lot of damage numbers and the game just cuts off or completely deletes the damage numbers, sometimes it also happens whenever you deal a really high amount of damage, you still deal the correct amount of damage to the enemy but the damage numbers are the ones that get this "problem".
And I put, problem with "" because I see the possibility that gearbox added this as a way to optimize the game on console.

It's a visual issue not a gameplay issue, so if you see it happening again don't worry, you are still dealing the correct damage to the enemy.

[harsh elm]

Does anyone have the same isusue on playstation where the game just doesn’t work and I can’t even play

[pale mountain]

Is your Xbox connected to internet

[old sage]

Ah, that makes sense. These runs just being dogshit makes a lot more sense than a bug that makes railgunner basically unplayable lol

[harsh elm]

I’m using ps5 and yes it’s connected to the internet

[pale mountain]

Bruh you literally wrote playstation. I'm stoopid

[pale mountain]

Is it the thing where singleplayer or whatever is not selectable in the menu?

[harsh elm]

Yeah

[robust dove]

Does anybody know when the game will be on sale again on Xbox? I want to gift it to a few friends so we can play together

[white quarry]

Not for a while most likely

But I would love to be wrong

On the Microsoft store, I’ve noticed that there’s a pattern in sales

• AAA games that are 1~1.5 years old get put on sale constantly
• Publisher sales include the bigger studios, like Bandai namco, ID, Activision/Blizzard, EA
• Indie games aren’t often on sale in timing sales (summer sales, Halloween sales, Christmas sales etc
• genre sales are the best bet at getting ror2 on sale, roguelike and sci-fi sales usually have it

[granite sail]

acrid mastery

[pale mountain]

Sry forgor to reply yesterday. Try this: #1173367688710586428 message

[wintry mortar]

I took a break from RoR2 and I wish there was a way to choose the old switch spawn rates LMAO

It feels so easy now, switch spawns really were insane 😭

[meager niche]

Hey guys did I send something off? because my account got hacked but I did recover it really fast so I am checking if the hacker did something off during that 30 minutes -1 hour time that I didn't have my account.

[wispy crypt]

You arent banned so nothing happened here

[meager niche]

So, as long as I am on a server everything is fine, noted, it's the first time I get hacked and I was worried if I got a warning or something like that.

[wispy crypt]

Well this server at least

Mods are quick to ban hacked accounts

Because those accounts spam in every channel

Since you didnt get smitten down you can assume nothing happened

[meager niche]

I am checking on all the servers that I am on and everything looks fine so I hope that everything is fine.

[frail merlin]

Fr, ever since it got patched out I started cake walking eclipse. Only some character weren’t a first try.

[wispy crypt]

I am getting so pissed at my horrendous luck in e2

Back when I was rusty I got god run after god run that I threw and now that im warm again the game is showing me several middle fingers

I just want to be out of baby eclipse and actually get to the modifiers that make me lose instead of losing to arbitrary shit that doesnt relate to the modifiers at all

[shy solar]

as an eclipse player, is there any motivation to grind it out?

[wispy crypt]

Simply the fun aspect

Im getting bored with monsoon and want to see how I fare with its mofifiers

Which is why im so mad at getting stuck at e2 because that modifier doesnt bother me at all

[shy solar]

what does e2 do again>

[wispy crypt]

Like Id rather die stage 1 to fall damage than stage 5 to an elite elder lem because its a new thing to learn to get around

[frail merlin]

I got bored of monsoon so I started grinding out eclipse

[wispy crypt]

Smaller tp zone

Got me in like the first 2-3 runs but then became very simple to work with

[shy solar]

only thing im worried about is doing rex in eclipse

[frail merlin]

I say there is 2 way doing Rex e8
1 play skillfully
2 pray to get a build that doesn’t rely on Rex loadout

[wispy crypt]

Especially as captain I want to learn how to manoeuvre my way around e3 and other modifiers because e3 is definitely the most potent on him and engi

[shy solar]

i personally just wanted to get more out of the game really, would eclipse do that or are there alternatives?

[wispy crypt]

Eclipse is basically that yeah

Ykw fuck it ill do another run

This time ill get to e3

Is this what gambling feels like?

[frail merlin]

Mostly depends on the player tho, because there is many who thinks eclipse just limit your freedom

[shy solar]

can you enable artifacts in eclipse

[wispy crypt]

Nope

You cant even access the reliquary

Jesus christ its definitely an experience going from a camera sensitivity of 7 to the max of 10

But it feels nice

Nice and snappy

[shy solar]

isnt it hard to control though

[wispy crypt]

A little

But its definitely fun to get used to

Especially since I got very good at only slightly tilting my stick for more precision

[shy solar]

any gameplay advantage or juat for fun

[wispy crypt]

Definitely better for 180s

And just generally more potential

[shy solar]

what do you even use diablo strike for anyway

[wispy crypt]

murder

[shy solar]

doesnt it have a long cooldown

[wispy crypt]

Yes but it also has 40k% damage in a wide area

You dont need it that often

[shy solar]

is it just for tp bosses

[wispy crypt]

Its good for tp bosses but its also good for normal enemies if you bunch em together

[shy solar]

do you bunch them with m2 or do you sacrifce hacking beacons

[wispy crypt]

Hacking beacons arent even as good as theyre said to be

I run resupply shocking

Resupply is criminally underrated for what it is

[shy solar]

what does ressuply do

[wispy crypt]

It fully resets your equipment cooldown and has 3 charges per beacon

So its essentially 3 free equipment uses per beacon which can be very helpful depending on the equipment

I put resupply in my main beacon slot so I can speedshoot instead if resupply doesnt help much

[shy solar]

but what about the free legendary

[wispy crypt]

One opal, 3 lens makers, a scythe and a card on stage 1 holy moly this run is gonna be something

[wispy crypt]

I never find myself grinding for it

When you full loot you accumulate enough money to not need hacking

[shy solar]

personally i full loot with double hacking to save time though

[wispy crypt]

But time barely matters

I personally thing a shocking beacon is almost a must have because of how incredibly useful it is

Resupply also being a major help if you learn how to speedshoot and when and how to use the resupply beacon

[shy solar]

maybe i might try it

[shy solar]

can you speed shoot on ps

[wispy crypt]

Idk the controller button arrangement on playstation but if you do the inputs correctly you definitely can

Its just a matter of practicing the tech

Oh my lord max sensitivity feels so good I shouldve done this sooner

[shy solar]

good to know

[wispy crypt]

Finally e2 done

Now the real pain can begin

[white quarry]

[onyx igloo]

No more vields for you!

[wispy crypt]

P4 mithrix with polylute, shrimp, tenta and 9 hooves was terrifying

I dont know how I survived that one time he hit me

[white quarry]

Mithrix goes so far now

I swear he didn’t go too far from the middle before

It caught me off guard

[wispy crypt]

I was also able to get a clip of the exact moment the moon lag bug occurred which thank fucking god only happened during the escape sequence

Ill upload that one in a minute

My hands are still shivering from that fucking p4

Actual horror segment

[onyx igloo]

What do you think would be the most horrifying mithrix build

[white quarry]

Prepatch sdp

[wispy crypt]

True that

I once fought an umbra on meadows that had sdp and boi even with all those rocks around it was an actual nightmare fighting droneman

I did kill the umbra but droneman barely got the better of me that run lmao

And here's the clip of the moon lag freshly kicking in

[onyx igloo]

So fun

Is it even bearable to go to Voidling?

[hot hill]

Voidling has never been an issue when I've fought him in switch

[onyx igloo]

I mean after the moon lag starts

Like when you use the glass frog to get to him

[wispy crypt]

My hands are still shaking a bit from that p4

God fucking dammit

Mithrix did not need to hit me that once and proc tenta on me

[hot hill]

It's fine getting the voidling as ling as you're fast enough

[wispy crypt]

I am very curious though as this run wasnt even THAT good compared to some of my other attempts yet still succeeded despite freshly cranking camera sensitivity up to max

I expected the next couple runs to fail because of that but its weirdly comfortable to play like that

And its overall handy because it lets you turn around way quicker

[jovial ravine]

My game crashes at deep void Everytime

[old sage]

Can anybody give me some pointers about railgunner? It’s clear that I am, and you can quote me on this, monstrously bad at her, but, I recently obliterated on monsoon, and I still don’t know quite how to get better. I was kinda hoping I’d get it by now, but I just don’t.

How, ideally should you build her? What should you really look out for?

Any quirks of her skills?

What should I avoid like diseases?

My first 4 stages, just about every time, are pretty good, but by the time stage 5 rolls around, I immediately sink into the bottom of a garbage can.
This doesn’t usually occur on the other, lower skill ceiling characters I play, and it’s psyching me out lol

[sly thorn]

First and foremost, hit your criticals. I cannot stress this enough. Railgunner is an absolute powerhouse when you consistently land supercharges or even normal sniper shots on weak points, but missing those weak points with the same shots might as well be throwing small rocks at enemies that have a large enough healthbar so a sneeze won't kill them. Your supercharge should not just be thrown around freely at every enemy that so much as looks at you funny, but should be saved for the bigger enemies that can easily take you down like Scavengers or Elder Lemurians. The most basic of baby brain strategies is to start charging your supercharge when you hit a teleporter then just instantly wipe the boss off the face of the planet when it spawns with a quick critical hit. If you can remember where most bosses hide their weak points and then promptly remove said weak points from their bodies you can easily achieve this. Try to keep your distance, obviously. Her normal primary attack is pretty good at dealing with flying enemies like Pests and Wisps when they get close, but it suffers from the fact that it cannot crit, so it should never be your go to move in fights unless enemies are simply too close and numerous. The mine is niche, but has its uses at gaining distance and dispersing crowds. Just don't use it to gain height or drop of ledges, as fall damage will still apply. Make sure that you get a perfect reload every time too, as going without that free damage and speed bonus might as well be a detriment to your mental health. Oh, and her basic primary can be used to slow fall speed or increase momentum when pointed in the opposite direction.

Stack a shit ton of crowbars and watches. The usefulness of being able to annihilate any boss that so much as breathes in your presence is a pretty damn good ability to start a fight with. Items like bands are amazing like they usually are because all of her skills except her normal primary and the mine can proc bands. Actually, stack any damage item that isn't close range based or critical hit based, since different items will always end up dealing more damage than just a shit ton of one item. Attack speed items are also useful as they will increase the speed of the needle during reloads, and also increase the size of the zone for the perfect reload. Harvester's Scythe is a nice item on her cause if your good at hitting your weak points with every attack its just free healing.

Avoid all Crit glasses like its the goddam Scarlet Rot. While her passive says that all of her critical chance is converted into critical damage, that means jack shit when the base critical damage is 200%, so a 10% increase is nothing in the long run and is outclassed by almost every other item. 10% extra damage on an attack that already does 200% damage totals out to be a 5% increase in damage. I'm pretty sure every other white item that increases damage does more than that.

[dusky rivet]

I always think that playing the game and learning on your own is much better than searching for tips

[sly thorn]

that just completely invalidates the essay I just posted 😔

[quartz bay]

step 1 band up
step 2 win

[old sage]

Yeah, that’s what I’ve experienced thus far

Band’s and ATG’s turning everything around me into liquid

From homies essay, I can determine that I haven’t been doing anything wrong, I think i just suck lmao

[wintry ivy]

He wrote more than I do for most of my essay assignments

[tribal rover]

Number 1 tip I have for Railgunning is to line enemies up, and that's like, it

[queen hare]

Hello there! I have an issue joining multiplayer with a friend, other games work no problem, but we can't start neither quickplay nor private game. Both kick us out after a while no matter who's hosting. Does anyone perhaps have any suggestions? We tried a few things we found online but so far nothing works :(

[hot hill]

What system are you playing on? You're both playing on the same system too, correct?

[pale mountain]

Otherwise they wouldn't be able to join each other

[hot hill]

Yes, that's why I asked. We still have plenty of people asking about crossplay so maybe that's what they were trying to do

[queen hare]

Yes, both PS5

[queen karma]

have you both tried deleting the run reports file of your save

[queen hare]

yeah

[pale mountain]

The kick no matter who hosts requires them to be in a lobby together to begin with🤓

[calm sail]

Hey does anyone wanna help get all of my achievements back? I have got them back 2 times this is the third time and I already got some of my achievements and 2 artifacts back

Plus I think it would be a fun time

Does anyone have PS5 risk of rain

[frail merlin]

The original creator did already post it in the art channel but yeah awesome vid.

[calm sail]

I apologize

@meager niche I apologize

I am still looking to play

I've been trying to find people that had ps5

Where do I join at?

Oki

Could you send me yours I have private on

Oki

[shy solar]

first eclipse run and im getting the most busted one of my life

got 3 reds on stage 3 and blue portal on stage 1

[frail merlin]

I will get any kind of attack speed on merc and constantly mess up the expose transfer tech

[rapid blaze]

I scrap syring early when I'm playing merc

Late game it doesn't matter tho

[robust dove]

thank you hopoo

[tribal rover]

Hell yeah

[dusky rivet]

You mean gearbox ?

[quartz bay]

nvm

[wispy crypt]

THATS MILD AS FUCK

YOU GOT ANY CLUE HOW BAD IT IS FOR SWITCH SND XBOX

Look at this shit

[quartz bay]

thankfully it didn't get much worse then the clip i sent tho wouldn't be surprised if it can get like that on ps4

[boreal ice]

the framerate is even worse than when i tried to run battlefield 5 on my pc

[frail merlin]

Huh he’s complaining about the framerate? I mean a few glitching shoot as railgunner, is nothing compared to what I had to deal with my eclipse grind.

Oh ok I see, I barely even notice the frame rate drop. I happened to have a really spicy one for this.

Also now that I’ve collected and seen this glitch so many times, I’m thinking it’s either got something to do with wungus, vands or vrit(gonna be avoiding those from now on)

[pale mountain]

Vrit just does 1 damage a billion times until the enemy dies or something

[frail merlin]

That sounds like a roundabout method for such a simple idea.

[pale mountain]

That'll improve performance just trust me bro

[quartz bay]

muh silky smooth 60fps down to roughly 30fps

not that its a competition who has the worst console experience lol

good thing its easily avoidable by not picking up void crit

[frail merlin]

Clearly switch will continue to stand above the rest as being the most optimal console experience. Standing out as the most horrendous experience, describing perfectly the ror2 console experience fully.

[pliant olive]

I'm assuming this is a Monsoon thing, or something with your build... I play switch, and have only seen things get this bad ONCE. When I was goofing around with Command and Sacrifice. Too many nodes lying around...

[jaunty lodge]

I play on switch and it doesn't get that bad unless I loop 2-3 times and grab stuff like atg and fireworks

[pliant olive]

Yo, any dates for easy Trials on Switch? Kinda struggling with Merc: Ethereal. And completely willing to cheat.

[noble furnace]

It happens whenever you kill lunar chimeras with a combination of items, mainly void items.
This is the idea that we mainly have that causes the bug to occur.

[meager niche]

Does anyone wanna play?

I need friends for risk of rain 2

I play on xbox

[wispy crypt]

Ye the lag there is not natural I even have a clip of the exact moment that lag started

Its fairly stable at first but after I shot that exploder the framerate just died

[frail merlin]

Except his void item are completely different in this clip from the ones above . Maybe it’s like, on hit proc like polylutes and void crit procs on a exploder???

[wispy crypt]

This bug is so weird lmao

Though in my last clip it does appear to have been the polylute that caused the lag

[winter tinsel]

hello chat

is there a release date for the dlc yet

[pliant olive]

You talking about Seekers of the Storm?

[winter tinsel]

yeah ofc

[pale mountain]

Sotv is coming out september last year😳

[pliant olive]

I don't believe there's a release date yet. Hopefully this year. I think there's PC/console parity this time? (I am doubtful.)

[quartz bay]

its releasing tomorrow

[frail merlin]

It’s already out

[pliant olive]

I kinda wanna know why people worry so much about DLC dates? I may be a simple, stupid man... But it's out when it's out.

[quartz bay]

probs just want the new content already

you know how nowadays how it seems every game is updated constantly

tho personally i don't mind the wait

[pliant olive]

Yeah... And people look back at an older, finished game and wonder why it doesn't have more updates, or a season pass, or something. Because games are meant to have an end, to be their own experience.

This is why I don't mind waiting for updates or DLC. Especially when it's something free! Like whenever Stardew 1.6 or Terraria 1.4.5 will exist. But that's getting kinda off topic for RoR2 discussion...

[frail merlin]

I mean, we the console player did suffer for like 2+ year of gearbox near complete silent of the console dlc port.

[coral timber]

Any new info abt seekers of the storm

[winter tinsel]

its less of an "i want it now" and more of a "i wanna know when itll come"

[frail merlin]

I think it’s better not trusting gearbox with release dates.

[pliant olive]

So, is Gup weirdness a console thing, or overall DLC thing? It's like Marth grab range all over again...

The spike distance on these Gips ain't distancing, man.

[pale mountain]

They just have a mega chunky hitbox

About 2 gups in diameter

[pliant olive]

There is no way you're serious... Those tiny spikes cannot cover THAT much area.

[pale mountain]

The spikes are just visual

The actual hitbox is more like a large blob

[winter tinsel]

LOL yknow what this is fair

after everything console has been through i guess the last thing we want is a release date

[pliant olive]

So when the spikes pop out, I really just have the options of dash away, or stay away altogether! (Playing Merc, Ethereal cheating.)

[pale mountain]

Yep

[frail merlin]

My experience with dealing with gup as melee merc is just timing your 2 dashes and escaping when cooldown are on.

[pliant olive]

I'm realizing that Merc primary has a lot more range than I thought...

[pearl thunder]

Peak Xbox One X performance

I've managed to beat up to E6 on these frames. Not doing too well with E7 tho

[frail merlin]

This will teach them to never pick up void crit -gearbox(probably)

[pliant olive]

Why does trying to get Ethereal on Switch bring me to literal feral rage? I'm trying my best. But apparently, my best is NEVER good enough! I know how base Merc kit works. But the artifacts don't line up, I get put on a stage 4 with NOTHING, or something stupid happens the moment I think I've got a handle of the first stage. I doubt a Cabbage tutorial would even help. The people that make those kinds of videos expect you to have some kind of crazy skills at the game, I'm assuming. If I did watch a guide for even general strategies/tricks, I'd feel like an even more worthless idiot...

Is Slicing Winds even WORTH all this!?

I'm sorry for ranting. I'm just getting really fed up with this. I don't know whether I can even blame "skill issue" anymore.

Can't even look up guides, because apparently nobody acknowledges that Console also has Prismatic Trials? I don't even know what I'm saying anymore, or why... I'm desperate. I just want to WIN, and never have to worry about this again.

[quartz bay]

it could be the game runs horribly on switch

reguardless it is worth as it is the better ability

[pliant olive]

The game seems to run well enough. I just can't avoid getting hit...

I'm assuming Ethereal requires perfection and ridiculous skill. Like, Cabbage level skill. That I will literally never reach.

[quartz bay]

okay i have a rough idea of what you need to do, let me record it on my ps5 quick

[pliant olive]

I've found a seed that's just Frailty. Be careful about heights, simple! Still don't know how to do even Distant Roost hitless... But this is a lot better chance than some other seeds.

Turns out, Turrets and Gunner Drones are fairly useful for this kind of thing... They any good generally?

[quartz bay]

theyre fine i think

command prismatics are the easiest because you can just find a gun and kill the boss instantly

the current prismatic has a easy gun btw

[pliant olive]

Do you know if all consoles use the same system to pull seeds? And what about the stage 1 boss? I'm assuming I'm supposed to save Tricorn for the elite boss on stage 2.

[quartz bay]

yes all consoles have the same seed. tho there is no gun on stage 1, its on stage 2, you gotta do a bit of waiting out of bounds till the dunestrider falls
https://youtu.be/3Z7qWEAqKIc

this is the prismatic, i did take a bit of damage but im too lazy to do it again lol

generally follow the path i take and you should be alright

[pliant olive]

Can consistently get to stage 1 TP without much trouble. But man, those Wisps... But hey, the seed will be in the pool from now on, and I've got your strat to help me. Thank you!

[quartz bay]

you're welcome!

[pliant olive]

Just a couple questions. I turn around and get that crystal right at the start, then the hoof. Going down that little ledge, there's a chest. Should I stop and get any greens from it?
And does the Dunestrider chase you by default, or do you have to get close so it can "lock on" and follow you to it's doom?

Oh, and any advice for Wisps? They seem to be the one thing getting in my way. Since Imps are easy to avoid altogether.

[quartz bay]

you can do that if you like

greens aren't required but uke or wisp are good options

yea you cant gets too far from the dunestrider, you sorta gotta coax it to the ledge area before you go to the oob spot

if you hear wisps spawn try to kill them asap, that really all you can do but if theyre a bit far away you can just ignore em (tho be aware of them like how i was in 2:57 in my vid)

[pliant olive]

The new seed seems pretty good for Ethereal. I talked about it in the regular discussion channel. Suffers from Wisps, both Blind enemies, and Artifact of Swarms, tho...

My approach so far is break the two crystals next to spawn. Go on the hill/pillar thing in the middle of the Plains, get a third crystal. Nuke the Stone Titans with Preon, and don't forget the Shuriken on my way out! Since Glass, this is my only item.

Stage 2(sanctuary) wander around until A: three crystals broken. B: Preon off cooldown, and now a Capacitor because of Enigma. In theory, find TP and zap the boss. Except there will be two... Don't know what to do about that. I need to actually GET to the TP one of these attempts.

[shy solar]

thx for the approach was looking for someone to do console trials but it only seems as if they did pc

[pliant olive]

No problem! Hopefully this helps?
Take it with a grain of salt, aa it is the strategy of a complete noob.

[night socket]

You can get barrier and that doesn't count as losing hp

[little otter]

Mmmmm, console

[coral timber]

Just used up my lifetime of red luck in one run 💀 (non looped)

[pale mountain]

Dayum wtf

[coral timber]

Yeah

[meager niche]

I love when I scrap an item it scraps th whole fucking stack

[wispy crypt]

Me when I have to be strategic

Scrapping would be way too op if you could scrap items one by one

[meager niche]

Don't need scrappers when artifact of command is needed

[wispy crypt]

You never need command

You need practice

[meager niche]

This was a run I just got done with 😭

[wispy crypt]

Like im sorry but in command you really dont need to scrap

[meager niche]

No ik

Don't need to scrap no mo

Jus pick an choose what I want from the chest

3d printers are needed no mo

[wispy crypt]

Also leeching seed is ass, knurl is ass, monster tooth is ass, alien head is mediocre, stealthkit is ass, and fireworks are only worth going into with the very specific build of using

[meager niche]

i jus like my build how I do em 😭

[wispy crypt]

Since youre bandit lens makers is also not necessary because its better in the long run to learn how to use backstab well

Sorry if I sound mean or elitist because im just trying to explain what went wrong in your item building

The rest is fairly solid

[meager niche]

I used all of my skills.. 😭 it was scary

Mainly against dune striders

I do NOT like dune striders

[wispy crypt]

With enough practice youll get used to dunestriders and other scary enemies

[meager niche]

imo, my fireworks help me when I'm buying chests, so I stacked on those so I could choose more fireworks or anything else

[wispy crypt]

Personally I make sure to only get them below 25% hp (the threshold at which they can start using their suck) when I have a safe way to run away from them

[meager niche]

If I needed to get away quick, spam buy and run

[wispy crypt]

It works for normal stages but on the moon thats over 30 useless whites

[meager niche]

yea..

Me and my friend went to the shrines where you sacrifice items for one item, and uh, it started to crash bc I kept spamming to trade items, the lag was horrible 😭

[wispy crypt]

Its quite a big part of item building to not go too much onto items that are made with many enemies in mind as you mostly only fight mithrix alone on the moon

[wispy crypt]

Oh dw about crashes this game is stable like a truck

[meager niche]

His PC couldn't handle it almost

[wispy crypt]

It throws out parts of its code before crashing

[meager niche]

Oh, that's awesome

[wispy crypt]

Lag is not a good indicator of game stability for this game

[meager niche]

We also did xsplitscreen too

[wispy crypt]

For reference it took twice as many simultaneous meteorites for the host to crash

Oh wait no

Thrice

[frail merlin]

Just let him play how he want, as long it isn’t in the lfg channels

[wispy crypt]

Ye I kinda failed to mention that

The urge to teach and point things out they might not notice is too big

[coral timber]

What exactly do you mean by this

Sorry i am not a smart

[wispy crypt]

To not crash it will simply not do some of the things it usually should

For example I once had a lot of fireworks and squid polyps but because the fireworks lagged so much the game refused to spawn the squid polyps way before the ally cap has actually been hit

[pale mountain]

I found a creeper golem🫨

[frail merlin]

No way

[frail merlin]

So during my many of merc run, I noticed that safer spaces can still get consumed while you are in a iframe, especially noticeable on merc. So naturally I thought it was a console bug and proceeded to test on pc and yeah it’s the same.

[coral timber]

Do we know if these shineys are ever going away

[pale mountain]

Sots feature

[quartz bay]

never, gearbox wants to remind you to play the new playable characters :)

[wispy crypt]

All of my characters except for bandit and captain have that shit

Or at least will once I get around to doing the remaining masteries

At least it doesnt affect the logs permanently

I would die internally if that entire section was marked as new on the title screen

[frail merlin]

My little brother actually thought that was a intended feature😭

[meager niche]

I think I'm getting better- I jus beat mithrix on rainstorm with loader

[quartz bay]

goat

[coral timber]

Definitely

I was in ur boat a while ago ago and now i am doing my eclipse climb

U got it

[shy solar]

is this prismatic trial worth doing ethereal on

[viscid agate]

All of them are!! (Mostly)

Ethereal just takes some trial and error, no matter what the PT is

[jaunty lodge]

in that case lost seers is worth it for bandit

[wispy crypt]

Maybe

Its up to debate wether or not youd rather have lost seers or turn the lenses into scrap

[frail merlin]

Shouldn’t probably thanks to the moon lag😔

[wispy crypt]

I mean we dont know the exact cause for it yet and if lost seers can cause it too

[frail merlin]

Yeah but currently lost seers seems to be a very consistent cause of it, especially considering how they actually works.

[worthy plinth]

I have learned the hard way why so many of the best ror2 players despise egocentrism

Headstompers, shattering justice, dios, caggers, atg, merf, feather, a couple bands, all my speed, and much more

Gone

Mf mugged me for my life savings, decided that wasn't enough, then started peeling off my skin in order to sell my kidneys to the black market

[hot hill]

[coral timber]

For me i usually get moon lag after i kill a perfected rolly boi

But i am not fully sure

Also

Speaking of lag has anyone pinned down why sulfer pools in so laggy

[worthy plinth]

I think it's because of the fact that after you loop once or twice, you have a good amount of on death items which like to trigger when you hit a sulfur pod

[coral timber]

Huh

For me it ussually happens 1st go through

[wispy crypt]

My personal theory is that... yeah no idk I have absolutely no idea what about sulfur causes the lag

I was thinking the amount of pods but then again aqueduct has a similar amount of pots and doesnt lag like that

[meager niche]

Console discussion.

[coral timber]

Frfr

[coral timber]

I feel llike it has something to do with the lighting afects of some things and the filter of the map

[frail merlin]

Been playing only merc for about a month+ now, my determination is starting to dwindle.

[wispy crypt]

Makes me question how irregular my captain addiction is

Because Ive mained that guy ever since I unlocked him

And rarely switch off

[frail merlin]

Probably cause my ror2 addiction has been gone for 2 years.

[white quarry]

Get on ror2

[frail merlin]

I already did a run a couple of hours ago, this skill issue made me especially depressed.😭

[white quarry]

My goodness

[wispy crypt]

I still gotta try doing e3 sometime once Im not sick anymore

And eventually beat e8 captain

And then never open the game again

[frail merlin]

The real grind begins when you start repeating so much e8 that it becomes the base difficulty.

[wispy crypt]

Nah Ill sweep e8

[vital nebula]

[noble furnace]

Facts

[sly thorn]

not enough merc smh

[pliant olive]

Smh... Not even the true Merc. A good Merc can parry. And parry the laws of physics, at that.

[empty heart]

A true Merc doesn't need a crutch like that we need permanent iframes

[pliant olive]

You talk about a crutch for something that requires (a small amount of) skill. Then bring up literal invenerability.

[empty heart]

It was ment to be sarcasm.

[pliant olive]

Sorry. Not good at getting that over text...

[dusky rivet]

fine im gonna achieve 10 runs of merc today

[frail merlin]

First one down, if these 1+hour long runs continue I’m gonna be a corpse by the end of this

[frail merlin]

Second one down, currently 4.38pm might gonna have to start speedrunning.

[frail merlin]

Third one done, decided to just do them silently from now on. I can provide the evidence if anyone is wondering.

[noble furnace]

You can do it

[robust rain]

🫠

[calm stone]

https://tenor.com/view/adjusting-the-night-vision-goggles-michelle-khare-get-ready-be-prepared-lets-get-started-gif-26253508

just needed one of these bad boys

[delicate canopy]

Waiting for somebody to join on quick play be like:

[meager niche]

You’ll find someone eventually

[delicate canopy]

Ay I got one

[meager niche]

The chances of getting three is probably around 0

[wispy crypt]

Personally I either get none or 3

Somehow the stars just align sometimes

[meager niche]

Let’s see how long this takes.
Currently at 2 minutes of waiting.

Omg I found Someone

[delicate canopy]

We just went to void fields

WE GOT BLIND PESTS WITH 5 FOCUS CRYSTALS

CRAP I ACCIDENTALLY LEFT THE PARTY

I keep instinctively pressing circle

YO I GOT 2

[wispy crypt]

Shit I shoulda read this so I coulda invaded

[meager niche]

My switch died

Okay time to try quickly again.

[wispy crypt]

Fuck you I cant invade you rn because ive got a good e3 run going

[meager niche]

I got a lobby in 3 seconds

[wispy crypt]

Wth

[meager niche]

OVERLOADING WORM

And we died

Blaming it on multiplayer console lag (cope)

[wispy crypt]

This run is quite amazing

As long as I dont fuck up the p4 skip I should be fine

Nvm im dead

Fell off the moon

Well at least I got to feel e3 in one run because I really shouldve died to fall damage multiple times before

Anyways youve seen 80 degrees tilted printer

But now I also have levitating printer (featuring captain with a broken spine)

I have no idea how I broke captains spine like that but it persisted throughout the rest of the stage no matter what I did

[delicate canopy]

I got the artifact of devotion...

So you're telling me I get to summon an army of Lemurians?

well, build.

[hot hill]

Yes, and each lemurian shares the items they get

[delicate canopy]

Wait so if I gave one a knife and another crit glasses. Both get a knife and crit glass?

[wispy crypt]

Yes

But once the lem dies that you gave the dagger all lemurians will lose that dagger

[hot hill]

Yeah, the item is tied to them and it drops a scrap of the item rarity when it died

[delicate canopy]

I see

Pretty cool artifact

What items go well with Voidmando?

(void fiend)

[meager niche]

“What item goes with ______” askers when they learn about trying things themselves and learning the survivor and their intricacies.

[pale mountain]

Daisy

[delicate canopy]

._.

Was there a point to this.

[meager niche]

Yea. To insult you.

[frail merlin]

The ror2 mindset

[hot hill]

I feel like that's more rorcord

[delicate canopy]

No clue what their issue is, I asked a simple question

[meager niche]

A simple question that you didn’t need to ask.

RoRcord shouldn’t exist confirmed

[frail merlin]

I forgot that word existed

[delicate canopy]

._. ok

[meager niche]

does Bramble Volley push you back less than DIRECTIVE: Disperse

[meager niche]

No

so basically directive disperse is like nearly objectively worse

pros of directive disperse:

• doesn't hurt you
  cons of directive disperse:
• can't hurt enemies
• cant proc bands
• cooldown high
• doesnt heal
• sometimes the knockback is unwanted

i guess it weakens

Directive disperse also applies weak

Yea that.

but like. your injections already do that

and you're constantly firing m1. so what's the point?

[hot hill]

Yeah, but an AoE weak

[meager niche]

It’s an AOE effect that applies it. And also only the last shot in the m1 applies it.

[meager niche]

doesnt matter if you cant capitalize it

Wdym

It slows them. That’s good. And also other abilities now don’t need you to use primary first.

like, ok, you weaken everything
what are you doing about it? disperse has the highest aoe out of any rex skill, seed barrage and rain don't cover the area that got weakened, tangling growth barely does damage and is more for slowing down enemies

[meager niche]

vs just killing many enemies outright with bramble volley and healing back your entire health bar if you hit 5 enemies (which is incredibly common in horde situations)

[meager niche]

not 5 but 10

still

Okay well a few things:
The cooldowns are the same for both utilities
They both knockback
Band proc isn’t always a good thing.
You can heal in a bajillion other ways.

[meager niche]

still isnt the consensus that bramble volley is just. plain better?

Look, I’ll admit this, I am a bramble volley user. I think it is better

also why isnt band proc always a good thing? mithrix phase 4 skip

However, I do also understand that people like using the utility for mobility and the people who play e8 aren’t fond of the high self-damage

i did not consider e8

[hot hill]

And so you are enlightened

[meager niche]

It’s kinda like acrid utilities.
For the alt utilities to be better you have to be aggressive. However, you can still use them the same way albeit not as well.

both alts offer high rewards in swarm examples, though both the base abilities still work in AOE environments

[hot hill]

All of rexs abilities have uses

Except Directive: HARVEST

[meager niche]

That one.. they had no clue what they were doing.

[meager niche]

what's harvest

the fruits one?

[hot hill]

Sure, let's put a nonscaling monster tooth as rexs special alt, I'm sure it'll be fine

[meager niche]

if the fruit scaled, and if the bolt turned into like an aoe ring, it would probably have some uses in multiplayer and that's it 😭

I think I once proposed a DIRECTIVE: Harvest rework.
Here #ror2-feedback-and-ideas message

[hot hill]

Yeah, and losing the root just wrecks it

[meager niche]

Root is a huge part of Rex

i just realised my ass wasnt in the ror2 discussion channel 😭

[meager niche]

true...

[meager niche]

It’s fine. Nobody cares tbh

Except me apparently.

You’re banned for off topic

[meager niche]

Beans on toast be upon thee

[delicate canopy]

What do you y'all prefer for artificer? Her spear or bomb.

[wispy crypt]

Both are good

[meager niche]

I prefer spear because I have ion surge for AOE. If you’re using ion surge or plasma-bolt then spear is probably better

But if you use flame-bolt and flamethrower then you definitely need nano-bomb for big aoe

[frail merlin]

Yeah, I remember during my arti climb I used spear for e1-5 but as soon I switched to bomb the extra aoe and damage immediately made it much easier.

[noble furnace]

Personally for me I always liked nano bomb, I know that spear makes a joke the mythrix fight but between that I love more the AOE of bomb and spear used to have a bug where the sound of killing an enemy frozen repeats multiple times whenever you killed them with the spear and the spear doesn't hit terrain after piercing.

[frail merlin]

The “it’s good on mithrix” has always been a weak argument for me personally. I just don’t think it’s worth the trade off.

[meager niche]

The entire game isn’t mithrix.

It’s definitely better on mithrix, but that’s because spear is better meant for a few targets and bomb is meant for a large group.

It’s like saying gas is bad because it isn’t good on Mithrix

[wispy crypt]

I think spear is ever so slightly better than bomb because it shoots in a line instead of an arc and charges faster

Though I personally still prefer bomb because its still very much viable

[meager niche]

But still, you can’t deny that bomb is meant for a group of enemies. And mithrix is, spoiler, not a group of enemies. He’s a singular guy.

[frail merlin]

If you aren’t planning to play as railgunner, you aren’t gonna need the extra range the spear provide. It is a lot harder to aim at airborne enemies but clearly just a skill check .

[delicate canopy]

Is flame bolt the main primary?

I tried ion surge...

Didn't like it

I could try it again though. Plus it has good potential for keeping Arti up in the air.

[viscid agate]

all default truly is the ultimate loadout

[meager niche]

Truly that’s a thing you can do

All loadouts on any survivor are good because they let you damage enemies

[quartz bay]

ah yes my favorite damaging ability bubble sheild

[meager niche]

Do I need to explain it or is it best if I just say your smartass remark is technically wrong.

[noble furnace]

Arrow rain is the only damaging ability that I wish it gets a buff.

[meager niche]

It needs a buff to the coefficient definitely.

[noble furnace]

At least 0.5

[meager niche]

So does Rex primary that needs either 0.7 or 0.8

[noble furnace]

Maybe, because for me the primary of rex I don't use it for proc, I use it for healing, 60% of the damage that you deal in the third bullet is a good amount specially if you have damage increase items.

[meager niche]

That doesn’t change the fact it shouldn’t have a better coefficient.
For me when I use arrow rain it’s for the debuff/slow. That doesn’t mean the coefficient shouldn’t be better

That’s like saying arti’s primary should have a 0.5 coefficient because it inflicts blazing.

[pale mountain]

It shouldn't deal damage akshully

[quartz bay]

arrow rain already doesn't deal damage so

troll face

[wispy crypt]

Even taser feels like it has more damage than arrow rain

[lilac gorge]

Commandos slide deals more damage than arrow rain

[wispy crypt]

The used tricorn deals more damage than arrow rain

[quartz bay]

TRUE

[prime sky]

who here thinks they could do more damage than arrow rain

[wispy crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/hands-up-crowd-audience-hyped-pumped-up-gif-15828929

[wintry ivy]

Engis bubble deals more damage than arrow rain

[frail merlin]

The Rex primary needs a goddamn speed buff because it’s way too annoying to aim with it, especially in multiplayer.

[meager niche]

That’s a multiplayer issue
Wdym speed buff

[frail merlin]

It’s slow projectile has never helped me hit any blind pest, still better than having to aim with arti primary tho.

Or maybe my opinion is just clouded by eclipse once again

[meager niche]

Probably eclipse. e4 is your issue there + just aim better.
Also there are more enemies than just blind pests contrary to popular belief

It’s insanely good on any large target because of the constant heal it gives you. Which is obviously worse in e5 but it’s still a constant mid-combat heal

[frail merlin]

Blind pest is usually the most common airborne threat I encounter most runs. Unlike other flying enemies who just fly straight, blind pest are much more unpredictable. Combined with most slow projectiles becomes very frustrating. Anyway I hate blind pest, I gotta sleep.

[proud nymph]

its especially bad in multiplayer because of desync

[coral timber]

Does anyone share my opinion that mini mushrums are like one of the worse enemies

[meager niche]

Lots do.

[frail merlin]

I find it stupid mushroom can hit you in the air.

[wispy crypt]

Im so glad Im a captain main because I really dont wanna deal with those things

[noble furnace]

Especially right now, double effects double the fun.

[frail merlin]

Probably the best time to cheese Rex e8 because of the double effects.

[delicate canopy]

Just did a no artifact run with some randoms...

I got destroyed 💀

[pale mountain]

Sounds you like you need to lay off the command

[gleaming owl]

Felt that

I am also a command enjoyer.

I can't beat a single eclipse run

[wintry ivy]

I don't use command and still cant beat it

[frail merlin]

Just gotta brute force it until you get good.

[wintry ivy]

Yuh

[red notch]

Eclipse is brutal I don’t blame you😭

[gleaming owl]

My problem as railgunner is i get surrounded. I can kill single targets but its too slow to stem the bullet hell building up so then i wind up dying to gang attacks

[frail merlin]

Gotta pray extra hard for the gas

[meager niche]

You might need to be making better use of your concussion mines.
Using them to reach high spots and run out of groups before they surround you is how you stay alive
Occasionally if you need to, using your special ability to clear large groups is a necessity.
Also, the primary tech is super useful. Make sure you’re using that. If you don’t know it, just look at the wiki for a simple explanation

[gleaming owl]

My issue is i dont wanna leave tp zone

Its only during tp events i get swarmed and its 90% beetle guards or blimd vermin

Every other mob is fine

But they always spawn in like 20

[short iris]

HERETIC MIGHT, MAYBE, POSSIBLY, PROBABLY, BE A SELECTABLE CHARACTER

Please....

[meager niche]

Nah they definitely used the console commands

They hate your fun. Tbh you only have one reason to ever become the heretic and that’s to get her log
Is you lose as the heretic it’s because you didn’t know about her negative health regen. Which is counteracted by her utility anyways

[frail merlin]

Why would they reply like that if they were using a command

[tepid gull]

clip seems like a lot of items tho it could b a loop mayb

[frosty badger]

Anyone know why me and my friends frames just left he’s fighting mithrix with like 5 frames every second

[tepid gull]

prob just a lot of effects/items

missles really hurt frames

[dusky rivet]

Proc void crit on exploder will cause the frame rates to go down hill. There also other causes but void crit seems to be the most consistent.

[short iris]

It's just disposible missile and shurikens

[tepid gull]

oh it looked like at least a band and mayb a polylute too , but those effects might b heretic abilites i havent played her much

lookin at it now its just starter enemies. def stage one

[upbeat star]

I feel like people really sleep on the unscoped primary, because it even helps with movement ever so slightly, which is more noticeable with higher attack speed. Also it’s homing, just aim near the crowd, continually jump and you’ll be dealing damage and back-pedalling faster. I can’t entirely verify if this strategy is that good on eclipse or not, however I know it works well on monsoon, but I’ll try on eclipse as soon as I can and ig you can call me stupid if it sucks.

[gleaming owl]

As someone who has played many, many failed runs of railgunner, the primary is fine for lemurians, blind pests, wisps and beetles HOWEVER.... when the enemy types mix... it does NOT discriminate what gets hit... so you get blind pests in the sky taking aim to 3 shot you, like 3 of them, and 3 lemurians on your back end while you're aiming, you get slapped by a lemurian so you backpedal while firing up, but are hitting lemurians, the pests keep firing... wisps spawn and are now locking in... This is how it all starts... So then I use mines to try and make space, i'm taking out targets but also because i'm using the sniper setting it's slow because on non command runs I seem to never get attack speed early.. My rng is kinda ass and I've seen that one green harpoon that gives movespeed on kill WAY TOO MUCH... it's so ass... Also I had a cursed run yesterday... I got a recycler, so then I randomly got a red, happiest mask, swapped it? Then it's the one red that gives cooldown on equipment on kills... Usable...So I grabbed that... Later... I get another red, and it's alien head, recycle.... HAPPIEST MASK.... WHY??? WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE THE MASK???

so anyway I died cause I got murdered by an elite of some kind, I think an overloading, or could've been a blazing, but the last hit went to a lemurian, some projectile sniped me, took a chunk, then d.o.t'd the rest.

I had -100 hp after I died so I REALLY got wrecked.

[frail merlin]

Quick scooping is more fun tho

[frail merlin]

😦

[meager niche]

okay after looking in each spot showned in the wiki and taking screenshots Im almost positive something is up witht the second plate

in one of the spots where it can spawn the teleporter spawned instad so maybe its on top of the plate???

like this

i have screenshots of all the other places and no plate is to be found

[noble furnace]

Yeah it can happen.

[meager niche]

Ror2 on switch is such an interesting thing. Half of the difficulty late game is avoiding items that lag the game. It’s a weird form of fun

[meager niche]

Or you ignore that and don’t care and embrace lag

dude the switch is frail. The game crashes

even when light things are happening. It crashes. I’ve never been past stage 20 bc of this

My switch is better than your switch

No but actually, the game doesn’t crash that often.
Like yea the audio cuts out 75% of the time but that’s it
Like this is probably the worst lag I’ve ever experienced except for the one time I actually completely froze the game

How old is your switch?

Umm it’s one of the earlier OLED models

oh. My switch was day one

Oh well of course yours sucks. No offense but those consoles were trash.

were and are

If you buy recently made basic models they actually work.

If a run goes longer than 3 hours then I have to do everything in my power to avoid items that allow extreme proc chains.

[frail merlin]

I was looking through some old footage/screenshot and found this masterpiece

[meager niche]

Yes

That one yellow kinda ruins it. Still beautiful.

[quartz bay]

finally get to repost this vid again
switch ror2 be like

acting like the oled version makes a difference is kinda dumb, at leaat as someone who has a day 1 switch and a oled theres no real difference in terms of performance for ror2 lol

[frail merlin]

Ngl I don’t think a couple of fps matters when it comes to switch

[meager niche]

Mm no it’s definitely better
They’ve gotten better parts over time.

But you’re not entirely wrong. It’s not considerably better

Probably just enough to where it doesn’t crash because you got a larva event

[quartz bay]

1 extra frame lol

[night pier]

Is voidling crashing anyone else

[tepid gull]

bro i tried to get my p4 friend void fiend and we crashed 5 times inna row , finally got it tho

[dapper field]

Is it just me or is flying pest stupidly strong?

[meager niche]

They’re as strong as wisps.

Actually, they’re basically just a wisp but with a projectile instead.

[dapper field]

Huh, I often get two shot by them, ig I just need to focus on health/defense more

[meager niche]

Try circle strafing. Never walk in a straight line.
If they surround you, that’s when you’re in danger.

[dapper field]

K, will try that

[frail merlin]

Blind pest deals several times more damage than wisp

[meager niche]

Only if you get hit

[pale mountain]

Did you know Golems deal no damage if you don't get hit

[dapper field]

Lmao, should've just looked it up

Wisps do way less damage, are easier to avoid, have much less health, and are actually able to be hit

[frail merlin]

These blind pest are dodging and aiming better than me

[coral timber]

U guys wana guess how may times i have gotten headstompies in my last 31 runs

Too bad i will tell u anyway

EIGHT TIMES

[quartz bay]

seems like a good ratio especially considering theres less than 30 reds, alot of them being ass

[golden notch]

brother

aint that a good thing?

[coral timber]

Yes but i feel like i am cheesing my eclipse climb

[frank agate]

Lol yeah, besides my transcendence run (which I know was cheating tbh), I also feel like my other eclipse runs are just a result of luck and not skill

[pale mountain]

A wins a win

[frail merlin]

I just replay e8 if I felt like I got carried by luck(Rex does not count). If only you could choose which level of eclipse after you are done.

[frank agate]

rex e8 sucks when you can't use mods like cursecatcher on console 😔

[ebon gust]

😔😔

[frail merlin]

I just don’t like Rex as a character overall.

[frank agate]

rex is great, gets fucked over by the camera tbh
they feel so slow despite being the exact same speed BC the camera is modified for their size

[frail merlin]

Not the biggest fan of his playstyle but even with having the same speed I would still categorize him as a slow survivors because of his utility.

[ebon gust]

I just play him like any other 😭
Hold down primary in the direction of any enemy (+ leading bc of stupid bullet speed)
Spam mortars n tangle enemies together

[quasi rain]

I’m ngl I thought I was a tweaker cuz he did feel slow

[frank agate]

nahh it's shitty camera design

[frank agate]

fair enough, you can kinda rocket jump with his utility but it's not as intuitive as something like railgunners or just plain commandos

[pale mountain]

More like a baby boop

[coral timber]

I just threw an insane loader run to mithrix pizza

I one shot his first phase with headstompers

I did 85% in one shot to phase 3

I am incredibly sadend

I thought i had osp

[cursive isle]

I finally did it… I was able to do millions of damage a hit with railgunner. All I needed to do was supercharge hit a boss and the achievement was done… I do the boss teleporter!

It spawns a gup.
Then another spawns. And then another. Then they spawn until I can’t see and I’m instantly dead.

Moral of the story. Gups suck

[noble furnace]

Okay... So...I defeated the final boss of the DLC of Elden ring and I don't know what was more stressful, the boss of the DLC or the eclipse grind I did in the 1.0 update with the awful captain or the eclipse grind on the anniversary update.

[ebon gust]

Yes

The answer is yes

[noble furnace]

Exactly.

[ebon gust]

[pale mountain]

That boss is truly the e8 Rex of Elden Ring

[warm aurora]

Anyone down for a run

[pale mountain]

No

[thin vale]

Nah

[ebon gust]

I would but I can't 😔🙏

[coral timber]

What platform?

[pale mountain]

They have the playstation role

[quartz bay]

i think they looking for switch players tbh

[pale mountain]

Looking for Stadia players

[meager niche]

Maybe don’t leave that here.

[nimble ravine]

right

[ebon gust]

What was it 😭

[meager niche]

A very silly joke

[ebon gust]

Very tehehe

[white quarry]

Big things are happening

[ebon gust]

Pause

[meager niche]

[noble furnace]

[quartz bay]

was this a lucky guess or

[wispy crypt]

Ive been gone for a week and no progress on console bug research has been made smh smh

[white quarry]

Not the fucking emoji I wanted

Thanks discord

But I did know that there was going to be a reveal in advance

Gotta prep the mods for the heightened traffic

[wispy crypt]

Mod privileges

[white quarry]

It’s like, 16-17 hours early, nothing huge

[wispy crypt]

But yeah no I would not want to be you for the next few days

Sounds awful managing the server when its very active

[white quarry]

It’s just awful managing the server at all

[wispy crypt]

[white quarry]

We don’t have access to slowmode either for some strange reason

[wispy crypt]

Thank god

Getting trolled by suncles putting on a 3 hour slowmode was enough slowmo fun personally

[wispy crypt]

Ye its really cool

[frail merlin]

Deltarune and Sots news is pretty awesome but even a grain of silksong news would entirely complete this month for me.

[tribal rover]

We are eating good

[quartz bay]

jokes on gearbox i know who it is

[gleaming owl]

Fellas I really F'd it up this time

I thought the celestial portal spawned on Eclipse mode but APPARANTLY IT DOES NOT

SO YOU HAVE TO BEAT MITHRIX??? I DONT WANNA FIGHT MITHRIX MAN THE CHIMERAS BEAT MY ASS

[ebon gust]

We've all made the mistake

[gleaming owl]

meanwhile uhhh im at stage 9... On Eclipse 1

With almost no aoe

help

FRICK... Magma worm ate me

[ebon gust]

Rip

[gleaming owl]

welp, now I know

you cant obliterate on eclipse

that means every run i've done before now was gonna die anyway

[ebon gust]

Pillar skips are godsend

(I haven't done pillars once on eclipse yet)

[gleaming owl]

My Rng is ass, I almost never get pillar skip setups without command

[ebon gust]

Well, maybe once

Vase will do, wings will do (you'll need to use it twice by waiting for refresh on branches), egg will work (need a fuel cell/extra charge tho)

If ur captain, Arti, or loader you can do em by default (diablo, arti's jump thingy, and grapple respectively)

[gleaming owl]

I haven't had any of those 3 in a single run, i'm doing Railgunner

[ebon gust]

Hm

It'll take a lot more than 3 runs

U got this

[gleaming owl]

it's been at least 15 runs

I haven't had any of those 3 setups I mean in any of them

[ebon gust]

Read that wrong, mb

[gleaming owl]

I told you, my rng is ass.

[ebon gust]

I be tired 😭 eh it's fine
You full looting?

[gleaming owl]

thank god I make up for it by being a decent kiter

I'm getting as close to full looting as I can without taking 10 minutes

A UKELELE AT LAST! GOOD GODS I've needed this so bad...

And the second I get it, I get hit by THREE BLIND PESTS ONLY TO SEE SIX OF THEM BEHIND ME! Thank god there was a wall to use

Nevermiiind...

Vagrant plus like 10 blind vermin...

no ukelele procs...

[quartz bay]

simply don't get hit

[pliant olive]

(This is me being snarky, I know you can usually avoid/reduce damage)
RoR2 players when someone spawns 30 desynced copies of Mithrix directly on their location:

[pale mountain]

3 survivors is quite neat. Am curious how they will turn out

[compact moth]

i take as long as i want

it actually makes it a lot easier

in some runs the enemies get to 99

[pale mountain]

Liking what I'm seeing of the survivor

[prime sky]

seeker announcement completely overrided by CHEF reveal lol

[pale mountain]

Tru

[noble furnace]

Lol, at least we got that dance dance thing/Helldivers 2 mechanic where you have to input a sequence, I wonder how it would work on console, using the d-pad?

[wispy crypt]

Yeah cant wait to be the only one in the entirety of the switch part of this community to be able to perform those

[frail merlin]

At least we finally have a survivor who can revive people

[wispy crypt]

Yeah seeker is gonna be crazy for multiplayer

[quartz bay]

[hot hill]

You think I can't DDR?

[wispy crypt]

Im just saying things

[hot hill]

Pokemon Stadium and Mario Party have taught me infernal skills

Seeker seems a tad strong

[pale mountain]

I'm curious about that rested mechanic or whatever. Is it just a permanent ability upgrade for the stage once it's stacked? I didn't get that

[hot hill]

I guess we'll find out

[frail merlin]

Im confused about the damage because the trailer sure didn’t help a lot

[coral timber]

Yeah the trailer showed it doing tons but the dev diary showed something else

[wispy crypt]

Damage of what

[coral timber]

The upercut and everything else

[wispy crypt]

I will never call that thing anything other than baby/mini/smol etc. diablo

[coral timber]

Fitting of ur name

[noble furnace]

On the trailer they used god mode or something like that to make it look good once we know the actual damage numbers we can firmly say that either she is broken or not.

[coral timber]

Idk

Reviving seems quite good but idk about the cooldown of the meditate

Or if it transfers stages

[wispy crypt]

Personally if diablo taught me anything its that bandolier and brainstalks can really break high cooldown moves

[coral timber]

That is true

That has got to be good

[wispy crypt]

Imagine this but with revives

[coral timber]

Divided by 7

Then a rev

[frail merlin]

Didn’t they say that revive is not only cooldown based and used some sort of other system

[wispy crypt]

Idk I didnt really hear anything

[coral timber]

Didnt they say that it happens when u get 7 stacks of the lotus thing

[noble furnace]

Yep

[hot hill]

I should work on getting diablo strike unlocked at some point

[coral timber]

U should

[frail merlin]

Every meditate gives one stack of something and when it’s hit 7 it’s become a revive

[wispy crypt]

Also to this they said the utility starts ticking away your health after being in use for over 3 seconds

[fiery vessel]

Does anyone know when returns is coming to console?

[wispy crypt]

There are sadly no plans to bring returns over to xbox and ps

[fiery vessel]

Oh

[fierce spindle]

what does attack speed on captain do? does it make the shot charge up faster or the reload faster?

[hot hill]

Charge up faster

[wispy crypt]

Reload too

Though the reload is more of a small bit of endlag than an actual reload

It can be cancelled by things like your secondary

Or special which if done repeatedly is a tech known as speedshooting and looks like this

[gentle elm]

Hey it's been awhile since I booted uo ROR2 on ps5. Have they ever fixed the issues with multiplayer and the menus not working?

[wispy crypt]

Uhhhhhhhhh I think

If not then I believe I saw the solution to that menu bug somewhere in #ror2-bug-reports-console

Something about run report files

[gentle elm]

Ooh thank you; lemme look really quick

Thanks, I found the thread, I'll give it a shot tonight

[pale mountain]

Yeah that's the fix for the bugged menu

[quartz bay]

probs gonna be like desperado and not transfer between stages

it looks to be on a 15 second cooldown, you can easily get all 7 stacks by stage 1

[wispy crypt]

Captain got them long hands like I didnt even press interact he just fucking auto took it while the barrier was still up

Also interesting is that the micrbot zap visual still went down and to where the artifact was

Seems like a mutliplayer delay bug that causes the game to calculate my movement without checking for that barrier for some reason making it think Im in auto pickup range

And yes it specifically says in the chatlog that I took it

[coral timber]

I wonder if the seekers tranquility stakes will do anything in singleplayer other than heal when it reaches 7

And enhance the other abilities

Instead of the rev

[short iris]

I'm kinda pretty almost sure it deals damage

[gray stirrup]

is seekers of the storm coming to switch immediately or nah?

[oak finch]

Same time for all platforms i think

[frail merlin]

I be surprised if switch manage to survive this dlc because man did it not handle verdant fall well.

[wispy crypt]

Yes but preston did say that there may be release delays for certain regions

For example european switch users (such as myself) were unable to buy the sotv dlc for about a week after its release date

Its actually why I joined this server because it was extremely confusing

[wispy crypt]

I sadly died later that run but holy dam this was crazy when it happened

[frail merlin]

I would have done a complete 360 if I ever saw a gup spawn in front of me like that

[gleaming owl]

Im mad that the game keeps offering me singularity bands... are they even good?

On railgunner?

Like they're weaker in exchange for cc right?

Only 100% damage and doubled cooldown oh hell no

That may as well be a equipment

[pliant olive]

I'm pretty sure does what void band does. But better.

Drags things in for longer, and doesn't bother with that pathetic damage. So you you can drag a group together, and shred them with fire band or other AoE!

[gleaming owl]

Im fucking never beating eclipse 1

Stage 5 had a grandparent spawn in center of tp area. Along with every enemy possible. I gtfod of tp area to try and cull enemies and get spawns behind me and keep moving but try to keep killing grandparent. Im 45 minutes in, it gets to like 5k hp left and does the sun melty attack so i cover behind a rock... guess who cheapshots me into the sun? A GUP

So i die to DOT cause he bodyblocked me from taking cover again.

I hate this

[quartz bay]

if you're being raingunner you can just fight the grandparent from a long distance

no point in fighting it from close range without a significant amount of damage, youll just die

[gleaming owl]

Problem is the thing was in an alcove

Farther i got the less of a shot i had

So i had to get a certain distance to even shoot it

[cyan spire]

Anyone on xbox and trying to play?

[true reef]

#lfg-xbox-ror2

[cyan spire]

Just found that

[coral timber]

Bro i am so hyped for sots

I wonder if we will get to see chef’s abilities

Or maybe the other survivor people talking about

I just want more content

[wispy crypt]

Im pretty certain they will show off chef's kit sometime in the future

As for the third dlc survivor idk if theyll do that for them too let alone even reveal them at all

[coral timber]

Yeah

I just heard there was gunna be one

And it just makes me more money

I just really hope gearbox doesn’t fumble the execution for the rest of the dlc

[ebon gust]

Maybe the third survivor is gonna be a viend situation, where you have to kill the alt final boss to unlock themmmm

[coral timber]

Maybe

My completionist needs more unlocks

[ebon gust]

That's real (I'm content with having 100% and leaving it that way)

[wispy crypt]

Most likely though some of us are speculating if it may be a bit more complex with you having to kill the false son in a certain way

[ebon gust]

Not that I have 100%, I'm at only 93% 😔✊

[coral timber]

Just got voidling log and supher pools log

[ebon gust]

Hm. Possibly

[wispy crypt]

Same actually its 93% for me too

[ebon gust]

Les goooo

[coral timber]

After 800 or so hours i finally got it

Minus e8 gold badge

I am trying for it tho

Just have rex on e2 left

[ebon gust]

Oo nice

I have e1 gold badge 😭
Commando on E6, engi and Arti on E3, everyone else on e2

[coral timber]

Good job with mango

I suck at him

[ebon gust]

Honestly it's more luck than skill with him

[coral timber]

I feel that

For all of e1 i got headstompers 8 times

[ebon gust]

You just rely on getting bleed, maybe some aoe (atg's are godsend), hopefully attack speed, and a pillar skip

[ebon gust]

Dangg

[coral timber]

Only on the survivors i am good with tho

Idk why

At least i used skill for the other ones

Namely rex

[crude relic]

Hey just asking if there is anyway to restart the game without anything complete as i haven’t played in along time and with the new expansion wanna start back from scratch thanks ✌️🫂❤️

[ebon gust]

Is there a way you can just wipe your save data from the device?

Either that or, jus making a new account 😭

Starting from scratch is an interesting choice tho, considering that it takes a normal person 100 or so hours to unlock all the items and abilities again (that's just a guess, idfk what the number would be realistically)

[crude relic]

From memory didn’t take to long with my mate

But it doesn’t seem to have a way to delete

[ebon gust]

Hm

[ebon gust]

I'm sure there's a way to if ya go thru files on PC

Is there a way to go thru player data storage on Xbox?

For specific games n such

[crude relic]

I’ll try and look but I think everything is on the cloud

[ebon gust]

Damn

(I'm used to offline stuff so 😭)

[crude relic]

Haha all good

[ebon gust]

🙏

[crude relic]

I’ll just have to play from where I am at by the looks of things

[ebon gust]

So sad 😔

Oh well, it'll be fun either way

[tribal rover]

Honestly resetting in ror2 is balls because most of the unlocks are just big chores

[sweet edge]

you can't have multiple profiles on the console version of ror2?

[tribal rover]

You can use different accounts to restart if you don't want to delete your own saves

[ebon gust]

Mhm. I have two accounts on my Xbox, completely different saves

[meager niche]

Not in the game. You have to create a new profile on consoles to play it.
This may just be switch, but you also have to own the physical version to do that. Otherwise you have to buy the game digitally again.

[delicate cave]

Nintendo really hates the idea of save files so I wouldn't be surprised if it was only on switch

[meager niche]

It’s free to make another account at least, so if you do own the physical version you’re free to do whatever

But not free to have online on multiple accounts. You have to buy the family version for all your accounts, which is double the price iirc

[ebon gust]

Odd
That's only on switch

[meager niche]

Of course it is

[quartz bay]

what

you dont need to buy the same game digitally again to play it on a different acc on switch

[meager niche]

Depends on the game ig
