[wispy crypt]

Like there are so many spots in this game that you can just shove yourself into because of this thing

[uneven barn]

I love volcanic egg

its so like wheeeeeee

[noble furnace]

Lol

[wispy crypt]

Vulcanic egg + seeker is the ultimate out of bounds combo tbh

I used chef here because I wanted to make the silly joke of chef simply re locking himself after being called ass over and over again but usually I do this with seeker because of soujourn

Clipping out with egg and then wandering out and in the air with soujourn

[short iris]

FFFUUUCCCKKKK I MISSED PRESTON

Sigh

[final ice]

he's still around he sent a message like 4 minutes ago in a bug report channel

[dusky summit]

[frail merlin]

It’s nice seeing Preston trying to save gearbox imagine once again, ur lord and savior Preston.

[short iris]

Yeah I guess. I have so many questions I wish I could ask I can't lie

I think my biggest question is if reporting bugs both in discord and sending in tickets in the gearbox site is even worth doing

I've just started doing it out of desperation

[final ice]

I asked him this and he said they read everything they can, there is just a lot they have to go through

[short iris]

That's fair

[final ice]

They've proven that they do care and are doing their best to fix things but there's clearly a lot to fix lol

especially considering console specific bugs

which is a whole other can of worms

we just gotta be patient

[short iris]

Oh yeah I'm much aware

[final ice]

I think in a month or 2 the game will be in good spot

with little to no bugs

[fierce juniper]

@final ice I agree. It think after that point, they will start focusing on reworks for items and perhaps some new alts for the new survivors

[short iris]

well Idk about this one but I'm definitely very very biased in this one specially for a lot of reasons but yeah I'm holding out hope the best I can

[fierce juniper]

Hopefully. I’d be happy if they fixed those few things that aren’t bugs

[final ice]

supposedly we're getting item balance changes in the next patch (according to Woolie, anyways, who has been in talks with Preston, supposedly)

(so take that with a grain of salt)

[fierce juniper]

@final ice I don’t trust woolie. But that’s a whole nother story.

[final ice]

im not saying they don't exist im just saying that console specific bugs can be a pain when you're already trying to fix so many other bugs, I can understand how things happen

[final ice]

I mean he did give proof that he is talking to preston lol

[fierce juniper]

But I’ve heard things from other sources so woolie may be right on this one.

[final ice]

I think there is valid reason to believe him idk why he would lie about item balance when I know he wants item balance as much as anyone else lol

[fierce juniper]

@final ice ehhhh not necessarily saying he’s wrong on the matter. I just never liked the guy….

they need to give some more alt abilities too. That would be worth the $15 for sure. Don’t know if it will happen, but one can hope

[short iris]

Yeah I'm sure it's just, hard. Very hard to feel hopeful about that in specific for a lot of reasons, even though I'm fully aware they're under bad circumstances it's hard to think rationally about it after well the 1 console patch in 10 months up to sots and the newest Playstation update breaking milky chrysalis completely and acrid leap... I am hopefully deep inside it's just, so hard to think that way at this point

All in all I'm sure it'll be good, just really hard to think that way for now

[wispy crypt]

I mean we are providing quality reports on these bugs

If I see a bug I can seemingly replicate well I will usually do some further testing snf get footage of it if there wasnt already

[fierce juniper]

@short iris if it makes you feel better, supposedly we have same version as pc with similar code, so problems can be fixed faster. This is the first circumstance where we will see if this works as intended regarding speed of bug updates

[frail merlin]

The dlc may have been rushed and the content was not really the best but I hope gearbox will for once learn something about this situation and grow to avoid these mistake. Randy might be beyond saving.

[final ice]

if they didn't have the same codebase, console would not even have the DLC right now

you would be waiting probably a year+ for the DLC

[fierce juniper]

@final ice yes. I agree

[short iris]

(Im sure that 85% of my sourness comes from the dozens upon dozens of hours spend on the spreadsheet to what seems to be nothing)

[wispy crypt]

Ye we should feed randy to chef

[noble furnace]

I want to help with the bugs but because of everything that happened since the anniversary update I am just defeated, I just want to enjoy the game and don't think about hunting bugs and report it, I am sorry it's just that mentally I am exhausted.

[wispy crypt]

Thats fine

[short iris]

A few days ago I was 100% confident pc and console had the same game that functioned the same but after the newest Playstation patch it seems that the versions got seperate again which is sad

[wispy crypt]

If you dont feel the energy to do bug reports and research thats completely fair

[final ice]

I think thats fair, but also good to remember that there is a LOT to test in this game to make sure things are working. The codebase is the same, but consoles can interpret code differently and there can be adjustments made to fix console specific bugs that cause console specific issues, its only natural

[frail merlin]

The patch console keep getting are just introducing more bugs😭

[final ice]

They want to get patches out fast, so they have less time to test things, but then things slip through

[mighty citrus]

Holy shit can we get a patch already

[fierce juniper]

@short iris we have the same bugs as pc from what I’ve seen (before they patched pc). The reason PlayStation broke and Xbox got soft locked is because of seperate code for split screen I believe.

[final ice]

its a lose lose

[wispy crypt]

1 step forward 1 step backward

[wispy crypt]

Yeah we gotta wait for microsoft/nintendo to still verify the update

[short iris]

The most recent Playstation patch made it so acrids leap alway takes fall damage and milky chrisalis doesn't work at all, completely

[noble furnace]

Btw, I am playing multy and I am hunting for the new skin and to check if grenade launcher cooldown is also affected by attack speed.

[short iris]

Both PS specific things

[frail merlin]

It has happened 3 times already, sotv, devotion and sots on all patches they had

Like I don’t think it would be a stretch for me to think the bug testing team must be incompetent because how the hell to you miss double fall damage, items having double effects, acrid leap dealing fall damage and so many more, there’s just no excuse for these types of bugs.

[wispy crypt]

I mean entirely personally I dont mind new bugs

Bug hunting is one of the few things I still enjoy doing on the regular

[frail merlin]

The new bugs should be introduced in a content update not a patch that is supposed to fix bugs

[wispy crypt]

That is fair though

[orchid oracle]

Weren't you just batting for these clowns the other day Ronny? 😅

[wispy crypt]

As long as over time more bugs get fixed than introduced I will be happy

[short iris]

I know it's an irrational thought but man, 10 months for like.... What was it, 15 bugs fixed and 30 new ones?... Its just so, ugh

And I fully understand that it was rushed, understaffed etc but its just so hard to get over

[uneven barn]

how much has been fixed on ps? because i feel like i havvent really run into a lot of bugs to be frank

[frail merlin]

I just wanna know what for disaster is actually happening behind the scenes at this point.

[final ice]

30 new ones is a stretch I think, they fixed most of the major ones and added a few new ones but I don't think there's anything that major that console has specifically beyond milky chrysalis and acrids leap fall damage

obviously those are major, but it feels like a bit of a stretch to say 30 new ones

(this is not including xbox and switch that don't have patches yet)

[frail merlin]

From what I hear they is definitely more severe bugs introduced than fixed from the patch

[wispy crypt]

If the game will get updated for long enough Ill go apply for a position in qa and tell you

[orchid oracle]

Lmao using the wrong time variable, split screen breaking, randy pitchford interfering in shit he does not know, etc etc

[noble furnace]

In short, we only want transparency and if we get transparency by the devs being here and reporting progress or just talking we are calmed if not, PTSD from the anniversary delays...

[final ice]

really? I don't play console I guess but I've only heard of like 3 major bugs (DLC not transferring to next gen version, milky chrysalis, acrid leap)

[final ice]

preston has been active in lots of bug threads and is putting in the work to keep us updated, I appreciate him for that

[wispy crypt]

I wish preston wasnt the only one to engage with the community like this

[frail merlin]

Yeah but qwp has definitely gotten a few dozen more thanks to his gearbox haunted ps

[wispy crypt]

Having someone at all is already nice but one person for all of this seems a bit nuts imo

[final ice]

I mean he's the lead community manager for the ror2 team so he's gonne be the spokesperson

[noble furnace]

Yeah me too but like I wrote, the anniversary update transparency was a special history.

[final ice]

from what I understand and what he said, the whole team reads the bugs they're just actually working on yknow, fixing them

[final ice]

wasn't there for that so I can't speak on it lol

started playing after the anniversary update came out

[frail merlin]

I’m pretty sure all Preston is the marketing guy for gearbox

[noble furnace]

Good

[final ice]

preston doesn't do any coding stuff but he is reporting things to the team that actually fixes stuff and thats what matters imo

[short iris]

I would genuinely give away my kidney for the ror team to have more staff and had ALL the time in the world needed for the dlc, it's genuinely so much potential just waiting to be dug up

[frail merlin]

#ror2-console-discussion message

Oh wait now that I’ve read it I understand what you meant

But some actually devs interacting with the community would be nice but it may be to late now that the gearbox hate has grown deeper

[orchid oracle]

Well, ya know, son, if yad quit breaking ya gaaaame....

[short iris]

Some part of me deep down really really hopes I get an email back eventually for one of the 20+ reports I submitted from my own experience but I know it's all pure 1000% copium

[frail merlin]

I will never recover from the first week the dlc released

[wispy crypt]

God that was terrible

I had to abandon this channel from all the brainrot that transpired here

[frail merlin]

The whole community was on fire like a storm

[wispy crypt]

Not even just

The news about the travesty went beyond the community

Even pyrocynical made a video about it

[frail merlin]

Seeing the outsider/casual reaction was pretty enjoyable for me tho

[short iris]

I don't think I'll ever recover from the repeatedly ball stomping that happens every time. Like I'm sure the game will be in a better spot but like. Anniversary? Game goes to absolute dogshit almost unplayable, 2 years of almost all radio silence up until the end p much. Game after sotv goes without a single bug fix.... Well up until a few days ago, devotion adds a whole bunch of new bugs and in itself was kinda controversial and then sots is, well, sots, and the new Playstation patch introduced equal amount of problems as it fixed. Like I'm such a huge huge fan of this game and I have been for 5 years but it does genuinely feel like every update (only update, the communication that happen around then is actually REALLY good until it twinddles out) is just kind of a slap in the face

Everything will always comes with issues, it's inevitable, but it's starting to feel like overkill

[frail merlin]

Gearbox is actively punishing us for expecting change

[short iris]

My respect for the devs is massive though, it's absurd and definitely a herculean task to develop 4 versions of this game simultaneously while pushing out the crazy patches in the time they come out

Even though it hurts to see what the time limitations can do, it most definitely hurts a 100x over for the people actually having to deal with it every day

[frail merlin]

Yeah, I rather much more hear the devs than all the nonsense and empty promises the higher ups are pushing out.

[short iris]

Seeing Preston go away after the first month of sotv launch and not coming back until way way way later was definitely depressing but I doubt it was his choice

Hearing from the people behind it is just genuinely the best thing we can hear. When stripped of professionalism and ego in the case of randy its hard not to empathize and understand the struggles, and I'm sure people would go absolutely nuts for even 15 minutes of a 1 to 1 honest conversation between someone and a dev

[wispy crypt]

Thats why im saying
One of you guys go work at gearbox riskorain to give intel

[frail merlin]

The devs probably aren’t allowed to openly speak to the community but have been communicating with some content creators

[wispy crypt]

Tbh I only really wish I had a debug toolkit for my testing but there is a less than 0% chance that nintendo would ever allow that

[indigo widget]

> Hit stage 3 at 12 minutes
> game immediately spawns 3 healing blind pests and 4 gilded blind pests on top of you
> barely escape after using volcanic egg and utility skill
> game spawns another group of blind pests on you

I guess I’ll just die jfc

The elite spawning bug needs to be fixed on console holy shit

[noble furnace]

Welp, multy, the more movement speed the more he feels like this:
I love the new physics friction.

[torn fossil]

you know what this run could use more of? gilded wandering vagrants

[outer vault]

Got one shoted 4 times in a row with chef

Might never recover from this

[noble furnace]

[untold valley]

Are you now unable to randomize your artifacts on switch? I can’t find a way to get to the random button anymore

[gray shore]

Hey haven't played since the dlc came out. Anyone know if the issues are FIXED or not yet?

[floral stone]

Got all the unlocks on Engineer in one run (minus monsoon skin)

Huge W as I don’t like engineer

[simple scaffold]

pregnant acrid shall never be forgotten 🫡

[hot hill]

I just posted rats to try and distract

[normal shadow]

Just finished E2 with false son

[hot hill]

And answered questions occasionally

[normal shadow]

Lfg

[median wraith]

[steel lion]

yall are overreacting it was not that bad

[median wraith]

it was funny

[final ice]

this entire discord server the first week of the DLC was one of the worst discord servers ive ever been in

its gotten better now thankfully

I would not go through that again though

[steel lion]

“go through”? what like it was a natural disaster

brog have you tried looking at anything else😭blawg has never had to distract himself before

[steel lion]

you’re right it was hilarious

passion is beautiful

[median wraith]

Kratos image my beloved

[steel lion]

GEARBOOOOOX!!!!!!!!

[median wraith]

‼️

[steel lion]

https://tenor.com/view/gifs-de-games-gif-9953513

goodness gracious it wasn’t degraded for preview it’s actually just that bad

[hot hill]

It was annoying and I'm glad it's over

[steel lion]

you are weak twas an event exclusive to stronger specimens

you wouldn’t understand tbh

[hot hill]

Bait used to be believable

[steel lion]

believe it

[pale mountain]

More like secretly bugged

[normal shadow]

Immediate next game I won E3 bc sonorous is a completely fair and balanced item

[median wraith]

Sonorous Whispers sucks bro, such a bad item.

[normal shadow]

Fun fact about sonorous, I think it can double proc off of elite bosses

[median wraith]

I'm VERY sure it can.

[normal shadow]

that's so goofy dawg

[median wraith]

It's epic

[stuck horizon]

when would the xbox and switch get new patches

[short iris]

In theory you could get 5 items from an elite boss, 1 from sacrifice, 2 from sonorous, 1 from tricorn and an elite aspect 🙂

[normal shadow]

someone run the calca for the odds for this happening

[short iris]

With enough clovers anything is possible

[normal shadow]

nah, I wanna know the chances CLOVERLESS

[short iris]

It also depends on the boss and elite type for sacrifice to proc but uh

[median wraith]

50/50. Either it happens or it doesn't. Hope this helps!

[short iris]

I'm not a math person so there's a high chance this is wrong but assuming the chance of sacrifice proccing in this instance is 1% I think it'd be 0.0000075% (??)

[normal shadow]

I like those odds..

[dusky rivet]

Better odds than what the chance shrine feels like

[wispy crypt]

It took me 3 seconds to tell that you do not read logs

Especially energy drink

[short iris]

Wait give me one secon

Nah

I'd drink it

[wispy crypt]

damn

[short iris]

Just like, look at it

Itd be so refreshing!

[wispy crypt]

Oh also

Purity is made out of primarily obsidian

[short iris]

But it looks so yummmers,,,,,,,

[wispy crypt]

Its crazy to me that youd rather eat a ball of obsidian than a bird of wax

[short iris]

Look at purity

Just look at it disregarding the lore or whatever

It's like a candy

Like a hard candy

[dusky rivet]

I didnt know you liked to eat rocks

[short iris]

No comment.

It's not like I main a rock eater in a certain hero shooter

[wispy crypt]

"No comment"
proceeds to comment

[short iris]

Nuh uh....

I'd eat a gup

They smell like strawberries that's good enough

[wispy crypt]

You really dont read logs do you

[short iris]

No, no, I said that 1000% knowing that they use it as a tactic to lure in prey

I am that prey, mmmm strawberry gummies

[wispy crypt]

Ehh

Its more about the throwing up and your skin turning orange part

[dusky rivet]

I would also eat a gup

[short iris]

I GET TO ALSO TURN ORANGE THATS AWESOME

Wait if you eat a gup do you become a gup???????

[wispy crypt]

Well

Its moreso eating a not fully developed gip

[short iris]

Oh.

[wispy crypt]

Not much is said but the general consensus is that consuming too much of this has side effects akin to a gip growing inside you

[short iris]

Oh... Will they keep developing and like, burst out of my chest like an alien creature from movie alien

[wispy crypt]

Idk maybe

[short iris]

Well... You know what they say. Mistakes into miracles

[short iris]

Oh my god I think I've capped out the amount of forums that can show up at once on discord from bug reports

Suffering from....success..?

[wispy crypt]

I mean at least youre reporting them at all

I have found so many small bugs that I dont find noteworthy to make a report about its crazy

[short iris]

I've found so many just, bugs in general, It feels less like playing risk of rain but how many bugs can you report simulator

Even if it was all small ones it just adds up exponentially like crazy

One I've been thinking about a lot lately is how ONE. ONE SINGULAR RUN. had every single interactable for the entire run permamently highlighted

[wispy crypt]

Its fun imo

[short iris]

It is very fun but I wish I could click a button that just let's me play risk of rain

[wispy crypt]

Usually my process is
I see a bug
I take a screenshot or video of it
It stays in my switch library forever

More noteworthy bugs I take the videos I made over here

[short iris]

This is how shit feels to get an image from my console by using the shitty Playstation app, go onto discord, report it and then go onto the gearbox site and fill out the ticket for a bug report every hour

[wispy crypt]

And bugs that seem very rare or very impactful I make reports about

[wispy crypt]

Open switch photo library
Scan qr code
Scan qr code again
Download the video sent to my browser
Save the video to my photo library
Change network back again so I can actually post it
Rinse and repeat for each video

[short iris]

Yikes

[wispy crypt]

I should download all 480 photos and videos I made of this game

[short iris]

Yeah in general posting stuff from any console is so tedious and it sucks

When Twitter actually worked with Playstation I could like, tweet it and then get it from there but nah

[wispy crypt]

I have 1076 of all games in total

Ror2 makes up almost half of my entire switch photo library

[short iris]

Idk if there's a way to count but I have 70gb of footage and captures on my PS and almost 20gb of it is purely ror2

Isaac coming in right behind that with another almost 20gb which makes sense

[wispy crypt]

Aw man I cant check how much data my ror2 stuff takes up

It doesnt let me go past 200 of them to delete at once

[short iris]

Nearly caved in and made a gearbox support account and then saw it required my full name and decided that maybe I'm fine

[wispy crypt]

Why would they need your full name

[short iris]

No idea which is exactly why I decided not to do it

Idk it's kinda sketchy as hell even though it's completely official

[wispy crypt]

"Hello gearbox support team its me biggus diccus with another bug report for ror2"

Im still wondering if gearbox receives my crash logs

I did turn the setting on that crashes get recorded by nintendo for the developer to request or something along those lines

[short iris]

Biggus diccus is SO SO extremely familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Almost like deja vu levels

[short iris]

I really hope they got the 4 crash reports back to back to back of me trying to get the voidling logbook

[wispy crypt]

https://youtu.be/HrcbCW4y9Dw?si=Eqff43fjavChu0yP

I really wonder what happens in the qa department of this game

If they somehow just miss everything or get told to simply tolerate it

If this game even has a qa team in the first place

[short iris]

Literally think about this every hour of every day omg

Honestly I'd love to work as QA or a beta tester one day

[short iris]

Wonder if they ever see one of my dozen bug reports and sigh seeing it's me yet again

[wispy crypt]

Same dude

Simply for more efficient testing abilities and an easier way to reach out to them

[short iris]

Omg having the tools to properly QA sounds incredible

But in general it feels like it'd be a dream job, but I also know nothing about what goes on in the inside, QA feels like it very rarely gets brought up in gaming and for all i know it might be a position often overlooked or mistreated, wouldn't be suprised

[steel lion]

i bet QA involves a load of paperwork

[wispy crypt]

I do hope that the qa team actually has the proper debugging tools and isnt restricted to my approach of command, drizzle, pray every piece falls into place as soon as possible

[rose river]

Hello chat

Im getting returns on my switch this friday :3

[dusky rivet]

Its not that bad if you have a second device that shares your discord account. Leaves my main device free from annoying files and get rid of the network problems.

[rose river]

(Would wait and get it on pc but for once it dont really care about the modding scene of it. Plus pyro has it on switch aswell

[dusky rivet]

The modding scene on rorr is looking quite dry compared to others

[steel lion]

why is returns on switch and no other console

[rose river]

fuck if i know

Its such a random thing

[steel lion]

thats like capcom deliberately making a monster hunter game for the switch in the modern day

zero logic leave that pos behind like the relic it is

[short iris]

Maybe... Us and them, are not so different after all

[short iris]

Did the switch kill your family

[steel lion]

maybe it did

[rose river]

It has pennys big breakaway so its a peak console instantly

[wispy crypt]

Dude thats so true

[hot hill]

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that get speedrun during the latest gdq

[wispy crypt]

That song alone makes that wario ware level my favourite

[hot hill]

Looked neat

[wispy crypt]

Or am I thinking about something different

Oh wait yeah im dumb

Small gap in memory

[rose river]

Yeah youre thinking of something else

I was talking about the movement platformer

[wispy crypt]

Yeah it took me a few seconds to remember that

[short iris]

The little I saw of that game looks super cool, Is it like similar to Celeste or Mario odyssey in movement tech?

[rose river]

Yeah theres alot of movemeant tech lol

I heavily recommend the game its such a fun game

[rose river]

FASLE SON YOU DICKHEAD

STOP RANDONLY POPPING THE LASEE WHEN IM LITREALLY RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU

IVE LOST SO MAMY ARTI RUNS BECAUSE OF THIS PRICK

IM GOING TO FUCKING DISTORT ISTG

[rigid prawn]

Huh…

[hot hill]

Engineer is the real monster

[rigid prawn]

Real

But it doesn't explain the 843 monster teeth

[wispy crypt]

Did you have an elite aspect

[rigid prawn]

For like... 2 seconds, yea

[wispy crypt]

Well

Elite aspects are a little silly like thaz

[rigid prawn]

It's still kinda funny lmao

[wispy crypt]

They make you pick up items like every frame without actually making the item disappear

Which is how you ended up with 800 teeth, 200 scopes and 71 c daggers

And 137 rejuvs

[mighty citrus]

Made me sad cuz I got one of the new aspects but ofc if I pick it up im donion rings

[wispy crypt]

Im so glad I decided to give that one aspect I found to an equipment drone nearby

That glacial equipment drone held so much jank I didnt even know of at that point in time

[minor dawn]

Didn't really vibe with FS at first but we're tight now. Wish I could have this kind of luck with a character I actually use though

[short iris]

Kinda wish this interaction let you spawn infinite glacial equipment drones or some stupid shit

[wispy crypt]

Like I was just like "man I really dont want to give up woodsprite it ensures I get the fs mastery" so I just put it on the drone to keep with me while still having sprite

The drone did survive the rest of the run too

[hot hill]

Why does the woodsprite affect FS mastery?

[wispy crypt]

I had a lot of damage negation

[hot hill]

Ah

[wispy crypt]

The sprite healing was to ensure I didnt get chipped to death

[hot hill]

Alright, the nth attempt to get the meridian skin for bandit

[lament cave]

Good luck

Don't get bashed 100 times in 1 second

[hot hill]

I don't even really like playing bandit all that much but his meridian skin is sick

[uneven barn]

agree, i want it so bad but bandit v false son is sad unless youve got mobi

[hot hill]

I saved a clover from the rebirth artifact to use for his run

[uneven barn]

smart

i tried to save a spare drone parts but i fumbled instantly

[prime token]

all the real ones love wertus

[short iris]

Real and true

[wispy crypt]

When did I grow a fanbase

[short iris]

When you started being cool (always)

[wispy crypt]

Should I go do runs until I get the bulwark ambry variant that spawns the unused xis?

For no reason except to have them somewhere in my statistics

[short iris]

I'm experiencing the biggest sunk cost fallacy EVER because I was genuinely hoping this would be like, major and groundbreaking and I sunk like 14 hours over the past 3 days testing this but it is nowhere near what I was hoping it was so now I'm just stuck in denial and compium continuing to test it on every source of verticality DESPERATELY trying to convinces myself it wasn't for nothing and that I might actually be of use for once 😭😭😭

[short iris]

Don't you need to use kin for it btw?

[wispy crypt]

Idk

I hope not because that would make it painful

Looking at some footage again someone got it without kin

[short iris]

2 golden shrines on one stage awesome

[sly thorn]

Excellent use of credits

[vivid sky]

Damn..

[timid narwhal]

My opinion

[frail merlin]

Way to spicy

[timid narwhal]

What’s so spicy

[frail merlin]

The hot takes, my poor merc

[timid narwhal]

Oh it’s not supposed to be objective in any way

It’s just like

Do I enjoy this survivor

[frail merlin]

Makes me sense but for me I enjoy merc the most of any survivors

[wispy crypt]

My favourite is the man with the falling metal pipe

[timid narwhal]

Yeah I have Chef but I haven’t played him

[wispy crypt]

Hes pretty bad

Overall just exceptionally weaker than the rest of the survivors

Like I literally only ever used chef to get his alt skill and to make this beauty

[raw wing]

well, other survivors with awful skill loadouts can contend i think

like hmm huntress with alt primary default shift and arrow rain, if you dont get lucky crit glasses fast its gonna blow

or rex without self dmg skills

[wispy crypt]

But youd have to make them that bad

Chef is just worse than the rest no matter which skill you choose

[frail merlin]

Chef damage just suck both his primary and secondary is horrendous but his utility and special is ok.

[wispy crypt]

I dont want to go through all these...

[frail merlin]

I gave up on release no point for me to continue reading all those reports especially when 90% of them don’t have any clips

[fierce juniper]

@frail merlin his utility isn’t great either. I’d rather him. Be able to roll and lay down some oil as he rolls by without the charge up. This will add more purpose to his secondary as well

He can light the ground on fire this way (which we currently only see with Molotov equipment)

[short iris]

Why would you? I mean I gave up the day of the dlc when I saw that both bug report forums were capped out at 500

[fierce juniper]

His only good ability is his special

[frail merlin]

Just because it doesn’t have oil doesn’t mean it bad???

[fierce juniper]

@frail merlin it feels like a copy and paste of mult special. It just doesn’t feel very unique to him. Plus, the speed isn’t a big enough boost for me

[short iris]

Unrelated but why don't you use the reply feature and just start every single message with an @

[frail merlin]

Like multi utility but also not because he can stun have higher turn speed and can shot while rolling, the charging have also really high defense which can is a way to somewhat lessened the damage of fall damage. Also because it’s a somewhat copy doesn’t mean it’s bad, like you are applying that multi utility is bad also.

Try doing this with multi

[short iris]

Ok that's kinda fucking awesome icl

[raw wing]

shift is good but isnt stellar

like its not beating merc or loader shift

[wispy crypt]

Or di-

[raw wing]

which isnt saying its bad, but the m1 and m2 are bad enough that the shift and special really need to do heavy lifting

both specials are good too but not like character defining tier of good

[frail merlin]

Buffing his shift/make him reliant on it like loader and cap is not the solution I want nor the chef

[raw wing]

that isnt what im suggesting just saying its good but the m1 and m2 being so shite

means that for chef to be good despite those, shift and special need to be really good. but theyre just good

[frail merlin]

It’s not like I was defending chef as a whole just the utility

[raw wing]

yea ik

just adding onto ur points, i largely agree with you

[frail merlin]

You were comparing a mobility ability to mostly damaged focused moves😭

[raw wing]

i mean theyre also mobility moves too lol

[frail merlin]

Yeah but loader and merc is not reliant on it as they have other moves doing the same compared to commando utility or huntress where they are completely reliant on it

Most people will use loader and merc utility to deal damage and not dodge(most of the times) this implies especially to loader where the utility is his main damage

[raw wing]

i mean you deal dmg and dodge at the same time, thats part of why theyre good

if loader shift wasnt so safe, e8 itemless wouldnt be doable

part of chefs problem is they arent very safe in melee, but need to be melee to deal ok dmg

[frail merlin]

It piercings that’s why it’s safe to use but that’s not the same as dodging because it requires a windup using the grapple is much easier

Thought with merc is there more use for dodging action but most of the times it will just be used to kill crowds

In conclusion I think chef utility should not be categorized with mostly damage centered ability and more like commando,huntress,railgunner, void fiend and more.

[hot hill]

Meridian bandit acquired

[normal shadow]

E4 false son completed on first attempt LMAO

When I got sonorous stage 4 I was thinking about looping but at the pace I was on I really didn't need to

[short iris]

ACTUALLY?...

0 speed items on the left

[frail merlin]

I already knew how to pillar skip with no item on the melee build already, so not that useful on merc compared to the other characters.

[daring oak]

they fixed xbox 🤑

[wispy crypt]

Really?

[daring oak]

yes

[wispy crypt]

As in it just updated now?

[daring oak]

i just got the update
checked to see if chef’s food pickup range was added and it was

[wispy crypt]

FUCK YEAH NOW PC CAN GET A THIRD PATCH WITHOUT 300 XBOX PLAYERS MALDING HERE

all my worries are gone now

[daring oak]

no they’re back
acrid takes fall damage 😍

[hot hill]

Don't worry, they'll find something else to mald over shortly

[wispy crypt]

Ugh right I forgot about that

[radiant spire]

1gb patch for what?

Is it just the fixes for stuff pc had a while ago

[daring oak]

good thing i don’t play the worst character in the game

[daring oak]

yeah it’s just like the ps patch

[radiant spire]

Cool

What chsracter ruining bug did they leave in by accident then

Also dk if its just me but does false son just feel like ass to play

[daring oak]

well they added fall damage to acrid’s slam by accident

[radiant spire]

Oh yeah fire he's unplayable then less go

[daring oak]

@short iris i must’ve been high when i said it but acrid didn’t take fall damage before, he does now though👍

[short iris]

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA WOOOOWWWWWWW THATS SO AAAWEEESSSOOMMMEEEEE

have fun with the new bugs lol

[daring oak]

oh i hate acrid i ain’t worrying about it🙏

[daring oak]

what other bugs were added to playstation though

[radiant spire]

Just don't play acrid tbf

Not hard 😔

[short iris]

Milky chrysalis don't work no more at all

In the slightest

[daring oak]

felt awkward to use after SOTS release anyways

[short iris]

I've encountered one where if you get disconnected from a multiplayer game you will no longer be able to start any run whatsoever until restarting the game

Those are the ones so far I know are ps specific

[daring oak]

well if i run into any of those later i’ll tell you

[short iris]

I hope this isn't you like trying to dismiss or justify it lol

[frail merlin]

Oh the patch is now on switch, thanks gearbox for crashing my game and later installing the patch.

[wispy crypt]

ON SWITCH TOO?

[short iris]

Wait what wdym crash your game

[wispy crypt]

Im checking if the music got fixed RIGHT NOW

[frail merlin]

Yep

[short iris]

Holy shit jackbox real

[frail merlin]

I crashed on stage 5 as soon I entered the teleporter and when I try to open my game again there a patch.

[wispy crypt]

The moment of truth

[short iris]

That's so unbelievably awesome sauce

[wispy crypt]

Will I be able to actually hear the soundtrack again?

[short iris]

Brah one time I actually wanted to show something off gearbox drops a patch for Xbox and switch. Smh they so desperate for attention 🙄

[wispy crypt]

Rest in piss infinite false son laser

[frail merlin]

at least I will have my funny slam tech not lost

[short iris]

Do you think they just forgot about It

[wispy crypt]

If the music isnt fixed now I will be so mad

[short iris]

True test of if they actually give a shit or not about console specific bugs

"" ""true"""" test

[unborn topaz]

Anyone know how to fix the chef soft lock glitch

[wispy crypt]

Please let me listen to chris' bangers

[unborn topaz]

HOW*

[short iris]

Like, not being able to unlock him?

[wispy crypt]

Simply visit him (I have absolutely no idea)

[frail merlin]

They fixed the sprint and slam tech but not the slope tech which does the same result but harder.

[unborn topaz]

Yes, I did the quest and I can’t redo it but I don’t have him

[short iris]

I meant the announcement for the console patch 💀

[wispy crypt]

Nah

[short iris]

[wispy crypt]

It prob comes in a few minutes

[short iris]

No known fix as far as we know, maybe if you try it again with the new patch...?

[unborn topaz]

Second time somebody hit me with that when I asked

[frail merlin]

Finally can get rid of the yellow on my logbook

[wispy crypt]

Same dude

Finally I can just un highlight lantern

No more trying to bust my logbook open to get it gone

[short iris]

Best chance you have is submitting a ticket to gearbox with the site but like LOL

[wispy crypt]

But the logbook page switch bug still exists lmao

[short iris]

It's on PS too btw, should prob mention that

[wispy crypt]

I wonder how long I can do this for

[frail merlin]

Ok give me a minute and I will check if acrid takes fall damage

[short iris]

OH switch as in actually switch I thought like the console

I mean if Playstation has it and Xbox has it....

Unless yall get off the hook with pc I fucking guess

[wispy crypt]

I WONDER

IS PHANTOM STILL REAL

ARE THE ROOST TREES REAL NOW

[short iris]

Ofcourse it is you're getting your hopes high icl

I'd love to be wrong though

[frail merlin]

Acrid takes fall damage on switch, great, amazing, fantastic job gearbox you really outdone yourself with this one

[short iris]

I'd ADORE to be wrong but like this is so obscure to my knowledge

[wispy crypt]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THE ROOST TREES ARE STILL PHANTOM WHAT THE FUCK

[short iris]

PC GETS AWAY WITHOUT THE ISSUES YET AGAIN WOOOOHOOOOOO

[unborn topaz]

[short iris]

AND THE SWITCH EXCLUSIVE BUGS STAY!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOO

[wispy crypt]

FUCKIGN HELL THE MUSIC STILL CUTS OUT

[frail merlin]

[wispy crypt]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[short iris]

Gearbox

[wispy crypt]

ykw fuck this

[frail merlin]

And the infinite laser is gone thank god I did already the e8 grind

[wispy crypt]

I am not gonna check if seeker still turns into a bomb with bands and enemy chronic

[stuck horizon]

Xbox ror2 update patch maybe

[short iris]

Xbox patch is out

[wispy crypt]

Im just gonna assume it still exists

[frail merlin]

And the slope tech is still alive, the pillar skip lives on

[short iris]

It does. I'll save you the bother

Not as in, I'll test it (I might) but as in there is 0% chance in hell they patched it out

[frail merlin]

Rest in peace acrid

[short iris]

Console Acrid can NEVER have peace

You were fucked the day we got you and you are fucked the day you got "fixed"

[frail merlin]

Gotta beat up the dead corpse while promising “fixes”

[stuck horizon]

What about switch?

[frail merlin]

Yep

[wispy crypt]

Ok made a bug report about the music

[stuck horizon]

My dlc is lock although i have it

[wispy crypt]

I swear if this isnt fi

[wispy crypt]

WHAT?

[frail merlin]

The patch literally had no console/platforms related patch, really shows gearbox support of wanting to have as many bugs in console as possible

[wispy crypt]

Tbh I dont even really care about the stuff that got fixed with this patch

[stuck horizon]

I had to restart the game, now it work what

[rose river]

Why does my

[short iris]

Are you using a new generation or old generation of console version of the game suddenly or....?

[stuck horizon]

New

[rose river]

Why does my game need a update

[wispy crypt]

Ronny we shouldve just cancelled the updating process 🥺

[rose river]

That isnt worrying. At all
Did they shadow drop the patch???

[short iris]

The patch is out (spoiler alert, it's trouble)

[rose river]

Oh

[frail merlin]

The patch is here! acrid is now even more unplayable🥳

[rose river]

No.

[wispy crypt]

Ma fuckin music

[rose river]

I am worried.

Please just be acrid bugs

Please just be acrud bugs

I can take a break from acrid for another week if it means console works

Please
Please donald trump save me /ref

[short iris]

@frank panther before yall make an announcement about the new patches can you mention that you knew (hopefully) that there is an issue with acrid leap always taking fall damage, milky chrisalis not working at all and music not being fixed on console known issues that are being fixed just so hundreds upon hundreds of people don't freak out and do weird stuff

[short iris]

That's why the announcement is delayed, right?

[rose river]

Maybe it was literally not meant to drop rn lmao

[frail merlin]

They are announcing hostile world 2 alongside the patch

[short iris]

No, don't worry, it is exactly the same as Playstation.

[rose river]

Did the patch atleast like

[short iris]

It's meant to be out.

[rose river]

Fix stuff.

[wispy crypt]

I can hardly believe xbox and switch accidentally releasing simultaneously

[wispy crypt]

Ye it fixed stuff

[rose river]

Oh okay they just shadow dropped the watch

Im not gonna even bother ask why

[frail merlin]

It nerfed fixed false son infinite laser and that’s all I can think of

[final ice]

Congrats on the patch Xbox and switch

[short iris]

OK WAIT I CHECKED THEIR TWITTER AND THEY DIDNT POST ABOUT IT BUT

[rose river]

Someone send the patchnotes forpc ig

[rose river]

SPLENDID

[wispy crypt]

You should look at the replies

[rose river]

Honestly seeker and false son are fine

[short iris]

Sorry for your loss*

Nobody that has entered this chat so far has been happy about this

[rose river]

Replies we just sort of tolerated

[frail merlin]

#announcements message

[wispy crypt]

I mean tbh I wouldnt really have cared avout the state of the game if the music was simply fixed

[noble furnace]

I got summoned, the patch is on Xbox and switch?

[wispy crypt]

Yes

[short iris]

Yes.

[frail merlin]

And the mini patch #announcements message

[noble furnace]

[frail merlin]

I sure hope you didn’t like playing acrid

[wispy crypt]

Unrelated to all this but the colonel captain skin is kinda growing on me

[noble furnace]

Melee acrid counts?

[frail merlin]

His leap deals fall damage on ps and switch just need someone to confirm it on Xbox now

[short iris]

Yes ALL ACRID BABY ALL ACRID IS FUCKED LIKE ALWAYS CAN NEVER HAVE NORMAL ACRID NOT FOR 10 MONTHS NOT FOR 4 YEARS YEAAAA BABBYY

[short iris]

THEY DID, ITS THE SAME

[final ice]

YEAAAAH

[noble furnace]

In like an hour or 2 I can play

[frail merlin]

It’s so over for acrid mains

[short iris]

When hasn't it on console

[frail merlin]

Pre sotv acrid was honestly just a better acrid

[wispy crypt]

Oh also I forgor to post this but theres more https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565729054620385280/1285674969887408149/Screenshot_20240917-205257_Chrome.jpg?ex=66eb219f&is=66e9d01f&hm=3efb4a819801bd643e8d0c6ebb833d15bf6d5d24847f038996de1fd0feba162d&

[rose river]

MY FUCKING LEGS

YEP FALL DMG ON XBOX

[short iris]

God please include something about the console specific glitches in the announcement or this channel is FUCKED for the next DAYS. Idk if yall knew about it or not, just say you knew and you needed the path out PLEEASSEEE

PRESTON WHERE ARE YOU WE NEED YOU

[noble furnace]

Let's FUCKING GOoooo

[rose river]

Genuinely how did they not fucking find this out in qa.

Are they people playing the fucking game for testing not aware you can aim at up

Also so far

[frail merlin]

lol. That honestly a great reply.

[rose river]

The music is fine

[warped fossil]

Not sure if I'm just slow but yooo let's go 1.31 GB update maybe something good

[noble furnace]

Qa doesn't exist on gearbox.

[frail merlin]

The patch took me like 3 min which compared to the dlc took like 6+ min, why was it so big

[rose river]

Oh hey

We can hit flying enemies ig

[frail merlin]

Wydm

[short iris]

All in all this makes me unbelievable happy and hopeful for the content but the console stuff happening is so grim

[noble furnace]

Can someone on Xbox could test this?
Basically if you have the DLC, close the game completely, turn off your internet connection and then go back to the game and see if you have the DLCs available.

[short iris]

Acrid leap now functions "properly"

So you don't have to be forced to only hit flat ground

[wispy crypt]

An eye for an eye

[final ice]

I imagine the acrid leap will be fixed the moment console gets the next set of patches they just have to do them in chunks

because of console certs and everything

[frail merlin]

You could still hit flying enemies just required more aim than the average railgunner main

[rose river]

We got both patches at once

So uhh
Great qa guys.

[final ice]

I mean future patches for the new bug that has come out of this update

if we want fast patches then inevitably they will have less time to bugtest

[rose river]

@wispy crypt How is the music bugged rn btw

[frail merlin]

I lived fine without the patch. Now I’m just waiting for the balance patch

[rose river]

I dont want fast patches. I could play on the buggy patch just fine

[final ice]

you were one of the small few here 💀

[wispy crypt]

If too much noise is happening at once (and by too much I mean a teeny tiny bit) the music will just disappear and only reappear after a good bit of not much noise happening

[rose river]

I want to not fear everytime mr magic trick touches one of my favourite games it becomes a mess

[frail merlin]

And the fact the patch just introduced more bugs didn’t really help my excitement

[short iris]

I also don't care if a patch takes a month or even 2,i just don't want the quality to be like this

[wispy crypt]

So in normal stages the music will be gone 98% of the duration youre there

[frail merlin]

Pretty sure it’s a switch exclusive bug.

[rose river]

RIP LMAOOO

[wispy crypt]

Yup

[final ice]

Did it introduce more bugs though? All I've heard is that acrid leap is broken and milky chrysalis is broken otherwise most of the bugs listed in the PC patch notes are fixed (oh and also that switch exclusive music bug)

[short iris]

This, absolutely this, every single time anything has happened to this game it goes... Ehh

OH NO THE ANNOUNCEMENT CHANNEL LIT UP

[frail merlin]

There’s the couple minutes late announcement

[rose river]

They didnt mention the bugs oh its over

Oh its so over.
Theyve PUT THIS UPDATE OUT THREE TIMES ACROSS EVERY MAJOR PLATFORM
AND QA DIDNT CATCH IT ONCE-

[short iris]

Phantom objects are still on switch but I'm not opening that can of worms rn

[neon dust]

We’re so back

[rose river]

GEARBOX YOURRE PLAYTESTERS SUCK AT THE GAMEEEEEEEEEE

[final ice]

honestly switch is a whole can of worms on its own

[short iris]

ITS SO OVER STRAIGHT INTO WE'RE SO BACK IS HILARIOUS LLKMAAAOOOO

[frail merlin]

Lmao, they fixed a non existent bug on console

[rose river]

Pffttttttt

[final ice]

they just copy pasted the patch notes from PC thats all

[frail merlin]

They just copied and pasted the pc patch to console

[tulip sleet]

If I see any mfr saying “bare minimum”…

[short iris]

HERE COMES THE STORM OF CONSOLE PLAYERS

[mighty citrus]

LETS GO

[short iris]

Wait I'm the console player but you get the idea

[noble furnace]

Let's gooooooo

[frail merlin]

Truly shows the deep knowledge gearbox has about console situation

[final ice]

I honestly am surprised gearbox even dares to keep supporting the switch version of the game, I have to wonder if its even worth it

with all the specific problems it has

[noble furnace]

Yep.

[wispy crypt]

Its not THAT many

[short iris]

No mentions of the console bugs omg this chat is gonna be so fucking annoying for the entire week....

[chrome shore]

Can’t believe sots finally came out on console

[rose river]

We didnt even get unique patch notes its literally the pc ones 😭

[final ice]

preston has brought up noticing some of the console bugs like the acrid leap being broken

[tulip sleet]

Yay :D

[noble furnace]

I just hope that it's not going to be like when SotS was released.

[short iris]

The fall damage thing or the old acrid leap?

[final ice]

the fall damage thing

[rose river]

Which on paper is fine
ror2 is infamous for platform inparity. Some of the bugs on console literally do not exist on pc

[short iris]

Oh my god it's actually real wow ok yeah that's good atleast

[rose river]

A leap we just sort of tolerated

[frail merlin]

Preston our lord and savior, coming to the rescue once again🙏

[pure oracle]

They didn’t fix the infinite multiplayer bug

[final ice]

they've clearly been keeping an eye on things its just that console patches are a whole mess to deal with compared to PC patches

far more complicated to get quick console patches out

PC will pretty much always get bug fix and balance patches out first I think

[wispy crypt]

Ye

[final ice]

just is how it is

[rose river]

Man i am so glad to be getting a pc in 5 weeks

[wispy crypt]

Console has to go through the procedure of verifying the updates first

[neon dust]

Congrats

[final ice]

I can't imagine how y'all play this game on a controller lol I salute you guys

I could never

[rose river]

I prefer it

[final ice]

I tried playing on switch long ago and hated it lol

[wispy crypt]

Its not that crazy once you figure out soft tilting

[frail merlin]

It wouldn’t hurt to have a little variation of the patch note instead of just copy and paste it like cmon were they really so lazy to not cut this out😭

[final ice]

lol yeah that was a little silly

[rose river]

Shadow dropped and the patches are late

And its still not even the right patchnotes (typi in last mdh

[frail merlin]

Might as well just link the steam patch note instead of doing whatever this was

[final ice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it gets the main point across well enough

[frail merlin]

I was just disappointed when I clicked the link thinking just maybe console would get its own separate patch note

[wispy crypt]

Welp lets pray next patch is our patch

Pc also seems mostly done with bug fixing so console is likely gonna get more attention now

[frail merlin]

Also they got rid of this pin #ror2-console-discussion message ??? A very short lived one I guess

Oh wait nvm I’m blind it switched location

[short iris]

I think I'm not seeing stuff correctly, what pin?

[noble furnace]

Just one question about acrid, now acrid can land on flying enemies with its leap?

[short iris]

The pin just leads me to this

Or well not the pin but the linked message you send

[short iris]

Yea I'm pretty sure

[rose river]

Ye

[noble furnace]

One buff one nerf..

[frail merlin]

Didn’t they mention several time in the first patch note that they are planning to have several more patch notes in the future.

[frail merlin]

Sticker I meant

[short iris]

I don't think console will ever have the attention on them unless they do so many patches for pc that it won't be updated until more content

[frail merlin]

The nerf is arguably more worse I think, making eclipse grind a lot harder

[frail merlin]

I mean it’s not like gearbox did much patches for console when pc was in a balanced state

[wispy crypt]

But now they are picking up the pace with patching

[short iris]

True but that was during sots development and we all can assume the hell that was happening during that

[noble furnace]

Yep, I know.

[frail merlin]

If only they showed this unexpected bug fixing side a couple of months or years ago

But maybe the team I am thinking of isn’t that big as I imagine especially when take two just made it worse

[glacial socket]

happy

[noble furnace]

[short iris]

The current team for the game is smaller then hopoo so

[frail merlin]

Good for you, I kinda liked playing acrid until both sotv and sots killed it

[wispy crypt]

I never liked playing acrid

[frail merlin]

😦

[short iris]

Bro who is suttonandrew28 and why have they been typing for like 20 minutes

[frail merlin]

Can’t wait for the essay release

[unborn relic]

Just got my platinum trophy! Good one to add to my collection. Been meaning to get it for awhile had 5 trophies holding me back. Managed to get them all within a day 3 in 1 run so they weren't so hard after all lol Unlocked all Railgunners abilities too while I was at it. Those 30 consecutive hits was a fun one lol

[noble furnace]

Man... I am not mad with the gearbox team in charge of the game, I am mad with the higher ups on gearbox.

[short iris]

Yeah it's so so so so extremely sad because if they had proper time resources and staff it could make this game even more perfect then it was

[frail merlin]

I still think the dlc can be saved if the balance change will like heavily change it

Like most of the item straight up need a complete change

[steel pine]

let’s go

[noble furnace]

For me the DLC is good but yeah that balance change could change everything either to the good direction or even worse direction.

[foggy niche]

Can your save still get wiped on Xbox if you connect a second controller?

[wispy crypt]

No

[noble furnace]

Nope, it's fixed

[foggy niche]

Thank god

[frail merlin]

The idea is there(except items) and the style/animation but like most of it is very overturned or underpowered, so if gearbox properly and cleverly fixes it the dlc will definitely be much better as it current state.

[sudden ether]

has the music stopping bug been resolved?

[wispy crypt]

NOPE

SHITS STILL THERE

[frail merlin]

Stole our music and got away with it

[sudden ether]

damn

hoping they adress it soon

[lament cave]

[sudden ether]

its the only bug thats really bothered me

[wispy crypt]

They better

The music is one of the few bugs that I cant just tolerate like randy can

[frail merlin]

Still can’t understand how switch have had music problems since the launch of sotv and now on sots it’s worse.

[sudden ether]

and on all consoles

just not pc

[wispy crypt]

At least in sotv the more you played the more it would vanish

[blissful surge]

Music isn’t back :(

[wispy crypt]

Now it just stays all the time

[frail merlin]

Didn’t know that but the music problem pre sots was definitely a switch only

[wispy crypt]

Post sots too afaik

Havent seen a non switch user ever report that issue

[lament cave]

I haven't had music bugs on Xbox

[blissful surge]

Where is my music >:(

[sudden ether]

its been reported on all consoles in bugfixes, ive kept track

[wispy crypt]

And youre sure they all mean that exact bug?

[lament cave]

There was a bug where if you went into the logbook in game and went into something the music would stop

[noble furnace]

The bug is on Xbox but just happens on really late runs where you have a lot of items and effects so that bug might be tied up with the hardware of each console.

[lament cave]

But that was pc too

[wispy crypt]

Well I own an oled so it should at least not be THIS brittle

Also console versions do still differ in some aspects

For example if you shoot the trees in distant roost they (hopefully) are solid

Even after this patch the trees in roost behave like this on switch

[frail merlin]

I didn’t get to have any music to stage 1-4, the music on switch will just disappear as often it reaper

[noble furnace]

I understand that, just a little example I had yesterday, I was on a run everything was fine until I got 3 sonorous whisper and 3 clovers, at that point and forward my music was dipping out and in and my game crashed once I hit pause.
I play on series x and that runs crashed on stage 17.

[wispy crypt]

Also side note I spawn on this specific node so many times now

Its like every time I spawn in this version of roost its that exact spot with that exact angle

Is that like intentional?

[frail merlin]

I feel like crashing has been more common, I maybe will try tomorrow to push my switch to it limit if it doesn’t crash stage 5 for a third time.

[wispy crypt]

I have experienced less and less crashes the more I played

Granted I played far less recently than when it came out but it still seems more resilient than at the very start

[frail merlin]

I just get random crashes whenever I enter a teleporter and some in multiplayer

[heavy briar]

Hey was the split screen two controller thing that wiped your save bug fixed?

[wispy crypt]

Long ago

[heavy briar]

Ah

Thanks

[red hare]

I locked in out of nowhere, now I'm consistently good at ror2?! What is happening

[wispy crypt]

You got better is whats happening

[red hare]

Apparently so, I've just beat Mythrix the last 4 runs on monsoon

[meager niche]

So, did they fix ror2 yet?

[red hare]

Yes

[noble furnace]

Probably but at the same time, I was expecting the crash, items on the ground everywhere, procs 24/7, so it was expected the crash.

[frail merlin]

Yeah, but it’s been a long time since I got a natural crash so I’m still gonna check and probably compare to the similar looped run I did post sotv

[wispy crypt]

Thats not what happens though

Like some of my crashes happened when trying to open singleplayer or start a run

[pliant olive]

So, dumb question for my fellow Switch people. But isn't the "no music" thing literally not a bug? The system throws out elements so the game doesn't crash, right? Maybe I'm thinking of something else...

[wispy crypt]

Yes but not to this extend

The music should not get butchered this much

[frail merlin]

I don’t think music is so performance consuming.

[pliant olive]

I don't know what I'm talking about, honestly. I've kinda been playing a bunch of Returns. And am just now considering coming back to 2, because apparently a couple things got fixed... All the game wrecking stuff gone yet?

[wispy crypt]

Tbh console didnt even have much game breaking stuff

[frail merlin]

Some stuff got fixed some bugs replaced the fixed

[wispy crypt]

At least not much replicable stuff

Like this is probably never gonna happen to you (mithrix had chronic expansion)

[civic hemlock]

So what alls been fixed so far?

[wispy crypt]

The lantern log bug

The infinite false son laser

Uhhhhhhhhh acrids leap can now hit flyinf enemies but also doesnt prevent fall damage anymore

And chrysalis has been completely murdered by bugs

[rose river]

Thanks arti hover for just
Not working.

Completey winnable but nah. Dont register me pressing the a button.

[wispy crypt]

This is why I have it on hold instead of toggle

You gotta time the toggle jetpack with the end of ion

[rose river]

Thing is wont help lol

Wait

[rose river]

okay so that isnt just me thing

[wispy crypt]

Yes when ion ends the jetpack automatically turns off if youre in toggle

[rose river]

Good to know.

[wispy crypt]

I hate it

Its the one reason I use hold instead

[rose river]

That is

Wow.

[wispy crypt]

Just nuked myself again for fun

Captains bones did not look healthy

[warped fossil]

The jetpack thing is not a big deal for me since I've been adjusting to it since before sotv launched on Xbox so I just wait for the fov to decrease to normal after ion and it's perfectly fine for me on toggle

[civic hemlock]

Save glitch patched?

[wispy crypt]

Long ago

[civic hemlock]

Well i mean the one where you open the game and false son and anything unlocked after him relocks

[wispy crypt]

Anyways my honest reaction to this patch

[stuck horizon]

The patch feels a lot better

[frail merlin]

But does it? because I can barely remember more than 3 bugs they fixed

[vapid lintel]

Anybody know those environments in the logbook below bulwark?

[wispy crypt]

Those are the new bulwark variants (their logs are currently unobtainable)

[frail merlin]

Nice job gearbox

[vapid lintel]

Ok thanks

[tired imp]

Is the multiplayer eclipse bug that kicks you after every run fixed?

[noble furnace]

Updating.

[sterile moon]

No elite spawn fix I assume?

[wispy crypt]

No not yet

[noble furnace]

at least now I can hit flying enemies with the leap.

[sterile moon]

Now we wait another 2-3 weeks for a better patch

[noble furnace]

As long as that is not 2 years without communication I am fine.

[odd gyro]

I am not a fan of this Xbox patch all because sonorous whispers was nerfed and antlers weren’t buffed

[wispy crypt]

Sonorous definitely deserved the nerf

[robust thistle]

game is pretty good now on switch

played a few runs, looking nice so far, items obviously need some reworks here and there but i dont mind. Nice to see my favorite roguelite is back

not even gearbox can fuck up my enjoyment of this game

[rose river]

Whispers is not healthy for the game so good change imo

[noble furnace]

Yep, I agree with the change, whisper was too good literally enabling sacrifice to a normal run, don't get me wrong, I love the idea of boss enemies dropping items but elites having 15% chance was nuts.

I can finally remove the bolstering lantern yellow frame.

[wispy crypt]

I wish I couldve found a way to bust the logbook open and remove the highlight effect myself

[cerulean glade]

Now that console has been updated, does split screen work without killing the save file yet?
I'm afraid of testing it myself

[noble furnace]

It's fixed, I played with my little brother and everything was working fine.

[cerulean glade]

Awesome!
I can now play with people!
WOOOO

[worthy plinth]

Thoughts on this run

[drifting light]

Switch update no announcement?

Oh nvm

Did get announced I just auto marked it as read

Lmao

[serene peak]

Before I put this in bugs I want to make sure it’s just not a game mechanic. Playing on Xbox multiplayer with my buddy, he’s playing seeker and has full tranquility. He does and can’t revive and next stage I die and can’t revive with full tranquility. Is there a certain way to work on multiplayer?

[noble furnace]

You revive as seeker once you do the last meditation, it's 6 white meditation and then the gold one at last, you need to get as seeker the gold one to do the global revive, if you already have the gold one and do meditate you don't revive.

[south anvil]

Let's go all the updates are out

And now sonorous is mega nerfed :(

What else did they do

Also ror2 is like 80%, off on xbox en

[surreal coral]

I hope the person who made Twisted Elites falls into a dark pit and no one finds him

[grave cypress]

What are the last 3 pages of environment logs?

[hexed bone]

hey guyys

Stuck in the menu, impossible to go to the character screen

[noble furnace]

That is supposed to be fixed, can you send a clip?

[hexed bone]

actually I cant send it😢

[noble furnace]

You need a role.
#roles

[hexed bone]

I cant I'm not on my phone lol, when I try to opedn the inventory it's a full black screenn

[noble furnace]

Close discord and open it again, normally that fixed that glitch.

[hexed bone]

Not fixed

[noble furnace]

Like, completely close discord.

[hexed bone]

I did it😂

doesn't work

[noble furnace]

Do you have permissions on?

[untold valley]

Does anyone know if the new patch fixed the music cutting out completely?

Update: no

[steel lion]

im loader

[untold valley]

You’re dead

[steel lion]

brass contraption spawned next but since vields is so damn trivial now i slept through it

bungused on my squrrets and they knocked everything away so i could chill

[short iris]

I wanna hear yalls takes on it but is it just me or is this completely counter intuitive for the player and stupid as hell

[steel lion]

overall its really strange imo having a revive in ur kit as a survivor feels sooo weird

it’s cool but maybe stop the revive applying to me, keep it on teammates, and give me a damage buff or something, or some utility—like increasing the range of meditate so i might be able to use it offensively, maybe

[dusky rivet]

I think it works for balancing because it would be so broken if seeker had infinite revive so one per stage is good but also it kinda sucks that you have to save it until a revive meaning you wont get the buff until someone dies.

[steel lion]

fellas is it kyarro or kuh jarro tell me rn

[meager niche]

Shar difficulty

What*

[short iris]

How do you fuck up saying “what” that bad

[steel lion]

autocorrect

[steel lion]

my bad forgot i was actually on rainstorm

i’ve still had easy times on monsoon in vields tho

[short iris]

OOOPHH DIFFICULTY WAS APART OF THE ACTUAL MESSAGE

I THIUGHT THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO SAY “What”

😭

[steel lion]

illiteracy

[meager niche]

No my phone likes to correct actual words but ignore typos I make while speed walking lol

[meager niche]

It's fair vields isn't bad until e2 where some enemies oppress you in the smaller radius then ofc later modifiers make it worse

[dusky rivet]

I can beat e8 but not the typpos😔

[visual stratus]

How do I/can I increase the chances of getting a gold portal after going through the first green portal?

[orchid urchin]

Guys i'm the only one that have to rebuy seeker of the storm on my ps5 but i have allready have buy it on my ps4

[dusky rivet]

Gearbox knows already about that problem and hopefully is thinking of a solution. Maybe there a fix to it but i do not know anything.

[orchid urchin]

Okay thanks you

[pale mountain]

You can just go into the green portal after getting to gilded coast. No need to do it beforehand. It's recommended to just go to Newt everytime and hope that one of the next stages you can choose is gilded coast

[rose river]

Just lost a false son godrun because the game literally just

Didnt spawn the shit to get my abilitysback

Thanks.

Slowly starting to take back my opinion on this boss

[steel lion]

spawn what shit

[wispy crypt]

The geodes

[steel lion]

ooooh

damn thats cringe

i’ve seen that a couple times i think but it hasn’t gotten me killed so far

[noble furnace]

The yellow pillar that spawn on prime meridian, the stage of false son fight, those are the ones that removes the debuff from the meteors and the block of your abilities from false son final phase, the arena starts with 2 but if you used both takes a lot of time to spawn a new one.

[short iris]

It was so funny using it in combat and having defiant gouge spawn like 3 gups

[noble furnace]

Oh... They count as a shrine.

[wispy crypt]

Tbh I think gearbox shouldve made it a bit clearer how to cleanse the skill lock

Like making them glow when someone is afflicted by that debuff

[steel lion]

yeah for real

[short iris]

Give him a stunned or tired animation for 5 second so the player can actually realise what happened and think of how to get rid of it

[torn fossil]

does the false son's laser have any audible indicator or are you forced keep watching for it

[wispy crypt]

Afaik you have to look for it

But you should keep your attention on false son almost all the time anyways

[frail merlin]

Did they forgot to change the text or something🤨

[wispy crypt]

Yes

They said that in the patchnotes

[torn fossil]

whats the thought process behind making sots items have terrible stacking

[steel pine]

i don’t think there was one

all the whites feel like greens to me but really horrible greens

[elder trench]

Chance doll for some reason is just listed wrong stat wise

[steel lion]

im not gonna lie i think they failed to fix it altogether

[steel lion]

if you look at knockback fin youll find evidence for a lack of thought entirely

[elder trench]

Upwards knock back, something that definitely needs to exist

[autumn dawn]

I won’t lie

Heretic with Transcendence is busted as hell

[frail merlin]

It’s so stupid mushroom can hit you in the air, the attack is clearly designed to be in the ground it just looks so weird in the air.

[short iris]

List of items (that I know) have a wrong descripion:
Noxious thorn
Prayer beads
Chance doll
Chronic expansion
Unstsble transmitter
Soronous whispers
War bonds
Antler shield

Theres 100% more

Oh and luminous shot fails to mention the increased experience bonus for killing enemies with the buffed shot

[meager niche]

Almost every DLC item 😎

[meager niche]

Luminous shot is one of my fav new dlc items i think it’s pretty slept on, there’s a bug where if you stack it on false son with his spikes, then use your basic swing and not hit anything, fire another spike and luminous procs on that spike

[frail merlin]

Why did gearbox pick up hoopoo pattern of making the description straight up wrong😭

[short iris]

I think going up prime meridian as rex with 0 speed items, getting hit by 10 nearly unavoidable lighting and applying 10 lunar ruin to me, making me unable to move, revive and get another 12 applied and die was the most unfun experience I've ever had in my entire life

[wispy crypt]

Im gonna go check if I can still have a void infestor infest another void infestor

[short iris]

That was a thing wtf?

[wispy crypt]

Well not normally

But with the artifact of chaos it did happen to me once

[short iris]

I genuinely hate the lightning so much its crazy fucking hard to dodge and so cluttered up along with the fact the indicator fucking grows until it hits you so its barely an indicator???

Shouldn't it shrink before hitting you??? Because it'd be concentrated??? Like lightning???

[wispy crypt]

Im fairly certain the movement speed decrease doesnt stack with lunar ruin

[short iris]

If it does or doesn't, dodging further lighting with it and no speed items is genuine like

It's absurd

[elder trench]

I'm certain it does
One stack is nowhere near as bad as seven stacks

[heavy onyx]

Just bought the dlc

[frail merlin]

It has some funky behavior that will predict where you move so you can’t really just move in a straight line and have to constantly switch to left and right depending on where the lighting is

[heavy onyx]

Why yf do I have all items already unlocked?

Tf*

[wispy crypt]

Do you mean all all or all dlc

[frail merlin]

But compared to pillar or that voidling thingy I do lighting any time of the day

[heavy onyx]

???

[elder trench]

Dlc items never need unlocking

[heavy onyx]

Ooohhh

[wispy crypt]

except for one

[heavy onyx]

I forgot

[elder trench]

Except for one

[heavy onyx]

The boss unlock from false son

[wispy crypt]

Indeed

[heavy onyx]

I went there by accident and when I arrived at the final zone I shat myself

[short iris]

I'd probably be fine with the lightning if it was on a stage equivalent of mithrix where there is no doubt you'll pretty much always have speed instead of skipping out on what is 2 entire stages

[heavy onyx]

I thought it was like a dungeon crawl

[wispy crypt]

I mean you dont have to go to fs by stage 1

The reason the portals are so common there is because thats the hardest way to do it

[heavy onyx]

Green shiny thing how tf could I resist it's so pretty

[frail merlin]

I don’t think speed is a problem on light but more on false son

[heavy onyx]

Btw do you have to kill false son on monsoon for the new skins?

[frail merlin]

No

[heavy onyx]

FUCK YEAH MY ASS CAN GET BANDITO DORITO

[steel lion]

why u gotta say it like that

mods re educate him

[heavy onyx]

Bc I got cucked on monsoon

Mods stuff his nuts with itching powder

[steel lion]

mods make him stop talking like that what an unhinged freak

[elder trench]

Kill false son with bandito, get the new awesome fit

[heavy onyx]

Mods kiss him so he may know affection

[elder trench]

Mods, candle emote

[steel lion]

mods stay away i hate being friendly

[heavy onyx]

Btw no joke I like the pfp

[steel lion]

thanks it’s pure evil

[heavy onyx]

Mods smooch this bro gn

Tuck this mf in

[steel lion]

mods please exceed the 75mph speed limit

[elder trench]

Mods, make this real

[heavy onyx]

Mods go against the laws of physics

[elder trench]

Mods, be safe (:

[heavy onyx]

Mods endanger the children

[steel lion]

mods ignore the other two i’m the only one worth listening to

GEARBOOOOOX!!!!!!!

[short iris]

Oh my fucking God.... The halcyonite pillars don't turn fully gold when finished..... ):

[heavy onyx]

IKR SUCH A SCAM

The green ain't bad but the glistening yellow is PERFECT

[steel lion]

where

[heavy onyx]

Aight I gtg or I'll miss my stop

[steel lion]

bye

[steel lion]

what are you on the bus??

[heavy onyx]

Skytrain

Like a train but if it crashes it'll rain shrapnel all across canada

37 assists type shit

[steel lion]

thank god goodbye canada

[short iris]

At the tippy top

[wispy crypt]

Man why is no void cradle spawning

I want to see if these infestors can still engage in sexual activities

[zinc holly]

6 hours and 3 lunar items later

[wispy crypt]

Ok dude

I have never had the escape pod drop into a multishop

Until now

[elder trench]

Never have I

I had one drop in an invisible box before

[wispy crypt]

Ok wait I just

Found something incredible

Risk of hallucinations (where did the overloading beetle go)

[frail merlin]

Clipped to the back rooms

[steel lion]

enemies really be vanishing after sots update

hungry floor
