ror2-console-discussion

[hot hill]

It would still come back before that but now it's just gone

[robust thistle]

yeah switch is actually crap now

it was actually always crap i mean, but i realized now since i lost a fuckin 2 hour run and did not get fucking clover or commando's alt special

[sly thorn]

well, by comparison, when SOTS released it was actually the best to play on because, other than the music bug, it was hit by zero major bugs, therefore it was the most stable

[robust thistle]

until i dont crash when trying to loop to get to stage 20, this game is buns

[sly thorn]

that will always happen

[robust thistle]

i understand then

fuck how were u able to do it

if u managed to get clover that is

[sly thorn]

I did

I played on Drizzle iirc

[quartz bay]

i wouldn't say that personally

[robust thistle]

i too played on drizzle

[quartz bay]

i think i stopped playing the switch version when sotv released because the performance was fucked

[robust thistle]

did u crash at all during urattempts?

[quartz bay]

i remember complaining about it alot here lol

[sly thorn]

No I did it first try

[robust thistle]

i got my pc years after i bought ror2 on switch so i was fucked

[robust thistle]

man what the fuck

when'd u do it, like what update/patch

[keen rampart]

Hey I just wanna make sure no one else is having this issue, after buying DLC 2, my friends just couldn't join my lobby but I could join theirs, I just wanna see if this is a me thing or an actual bug in the game

[dusky rivet]

It happens sometimes on switch but that was usually a bug pre sots

[rapid glade]

Can someone please tell me wtf is wrong w this game on multiplayer/its performance
Game runs fine, but randomly decides “I feel like chuggin”, like me and my homie just had an amazing run, get to the second stage of the first loop, game just shits itself and dies
My ps5 is fine, no other game has this issue, I just want to know why this game is so difficult to play w my homies

Like it would randomly go to 6 frames and then shoot a million shots a second, how does that happen

[hot hill]

I don't think I've ever had that kind of slowdown in 600 hours on ps5

[rapid glade]

I have no idea then

Especially since I can run games like Fortnite or siege perfectly fine so I have zero idea

[true oasis]

how deep are you looping

[rapid glade]

It was only the first loop weirdly??? Haven’t ever had the issue before I just don’t understand why, first it was like everything was still moving but I started shooting at 10000x times but no damage was registering, then the frame rate dropped to like nothing when 4 wandering vagrants spawned and the game just died, yet I’ve fought literally 8 wandering vagrants at once with no issue

I’d understand if someone else were hosting but I was the one hosting so I don’t understand why I was having issue

[noble furnace]

Your friend plays on PS4?

[rapid glade]

I’m ps5 he’s ps4 yes

[noble furnace]

Yeah, there is your answer, Risk of rain 2 is a really heavy resource game the more you create effects and calculations, so old gen struggle if you have a lot of proc chains, new gen consoles don't suffer that much because the hardware the new consoles are way stronger than the old console especially like I wrote for Risk of rain 2 where is really easy to create a lot of effects, calculations, SFX, etc.

[rapid glade]

So is it affecting me on ps5 bc it’s affecting him on ps4 even though im the host?

[noble furnace]

Nope, you are fine but him on PS4 will have a lot of frame drops.

[rapid glade]

It’s happening to me too though which is what I’m confused about

[noble furnace]

Did you play with command artifact and grabbed a lot of clovers and proc items?

[little pilot]

It's crazy to believe that RoR1 and RoR2 commando are the same character

[rapid glade]

I had a lot of stuff like ukulele and gasoline but every run I’ve ever done my PlayStation has handled it just fine, no frame drops no anything

[unborn marsh]

Lmao .... I killed 3 different pc's with this game.... the on hit effects that stack are REALLY INSANE for processor power lmao .... I should know...

One of the pc's died because the coolant failed, and the processor got so hot it welded its self to the mother board ... before bluescreening and never turning on again

[ancient ocean]

is there anyone on ps who wants to play whos generally good at macro and game knowledge?

[quartz bay]

im all for a bit a macro until i see that beautiful benthic bloom

man i love gambling

[rapid glade]

Yall im not trying to be rude but can someone genuinely tell me why this games multiplayer honestly just doesn’t work, i play on PlayStation and there is ALWAYS an issue and i know its not my console because this game is the one outlier when it comes to not working while playing online, like my homie and i just loaded into a run and it didnt even give me a pod, i just spawned in dead??

[worn spear]

does that happen backwards as well

with ps4 hosting for a ps5 friend

[noble furnace]

Yep.

[worn spear]

which side has the frame drops in that situation bc mine are always fine and then he lags out

[noble furnace]

Each console has its own hardware, PS5 resists more stress from the game in comparison to PS4, what may happen is that the PS4 host when it starts to lag the PS5 client may see everything weird because the PS4 host is struggling to calculate all the effects and damage+ transferring the data towards the PS5 client.

[worn spear]

oh

[ancient ocean]

is there anyone on ps who wants to play whos generally good at macro and game knowledge?

[meager niche]

Hi, I used to play the game only on my PS5. Had to make a break due to child birth so i didn't played the game for over 6 months. A week ago i could get back in the game on my PS5 and i decided to get the platinum trophy. When i checked trophies list i noticed a "RoR2 PS4 version" with the exact same trophies i earned on my PS5 when i stopped months ago. ( i never played the game on my PS4 ... )

I just got the platinum on my PS5 but tbh bro i don't want to do some trophies again on my PS4 even if i enjoy the game..

Since i got a autopop (what was the reason btw ?) for PS4 trophies from my PS5 data, is there a way to make another autopop to get platinum on PS4 version too ? (maybe a save transfer from ps5 to ps4 could work ?)

Thanks and happy new year.

[worn spear]

whats macro mean

in this context

[tired olive]

Unrelated by do you have any idea why my FPS drops from 400 to 40 the minute I click 'Multiplayer'

Like even joining my friends lobby or going into multi's UI at all

Solo? 400 fps and so etc, just as soon as I go multi

[worn spear]

voidling curse

voidling cursed your multiplayer

[tired olive]

apparently

any like fixes tho

[worn spear]

are you on ps4

or what

maybe like uninstalling and reinstalling

[tired olive]

no pc

[tired olive]

tired that and verifying integ files

also have crossplay turned off

[worn spear]

probably optimization mods

like get those i mean

[tired olive]

uh okay

can I run them client sided? my friend prob won't wanna bother

[worn spear]

im on console so i cant recommend any

[worn spear]

probably

[hollow wadi]

Anyone know about those souls that are dropping? What are they for

[hot hill]

Do you have Elusive Antlers?

[hollow wadi]

Yes

[hot hill]

That would be part of that item

They give you a movement speed buff temporarily

[hidden cedar]

Has anyone gotten the environment logs for Viscous falls and Disturbed impact? They're the only 2 I'm missing and I cannot for the life of me get the radio tower to show up. Been running artifact of command and sacrifice

[robust thistle]

can someone tell me why seekes of the storm hasnt gone on sale yet

and before someone says since its new, sotv came out a year ago on switch and hasnt gone on sale once

[hot hill]

Even more reason why it hasn't gone on sale, then

[ancient ocean]

is there anyone on ps who wants to play whos generally good at macro and multiplayer survivor synergies?

[verbal cypress]

I just joined

What happens here

[short iris]

If I recall correctly, disturbed impact's radio tower currently cannot spawn if you have the titanic plains log

[hot hill]

Yeah, something about them having the same loot pool

[hidden cedar]

Oof alright I guess I'll keep an eye out for a patch then

[agile shale]

Anyone on here play switch version at all? I thought they were supposed to all be the same but I have in on xbox,pc and switch. Yesterday I noticed that loader can't grapple trees on distant roost in the switch version

[ebon gust]

Yeah, it's an issue that I've seen people talk about, trees having no collision on roost

[wispy crypt]

They do have collision but only towards things that have collision themselves

So you can shoot through them but not walk through them because unlike you, bullets (or loaders grapple) dont have their own collision

[ancient ocean]

is there anyone on ps who wants to play whos generally good at macro and multiplayer survivor synergies?

[leaden aurora]

Me and my cousin were playing split-screen multiplayer and his controller died. When we got new batteries it didn’t let him rejoin so he couldn’t move. I closed the game from the xbox menu and when we reloaded the game the 2 new characters I unlocked were gone. I quit the game again and restarted the console and still nothing. Anyone know how to get my new characters back. I was going to try uninstalling and reinstalling soon.

[calm jewel]

Hey, im having issues on Joining/Creating a match, it just doesnt work

[quartz bay]

chef haters in shambles

easy survivor 🥱

[calm jewel]

That was cool

[random saddle]

True

[robust thistle]

what the best acrid loadout, just got all his abilities

[final ice]

Runic lens behemoth war bonds moment

[final ice]

Default

(Well, kinda subjective, but his alt utility is just bad and blight is worse than poison so it’s basically just preference on the secondary)

[robust thistle]

ah ok

[shell cradle]

I'm ngl the default secondary is objectively better, it let's you apply poison way more consistently and at a range

The melee secondary barely heals too

It's not worth going into melee range for it

[final ice]

I’d argue you can make the melee secondary work if you try to make more of a melee build with acrid happen, it’s just funkier to do

The default is definitely better but I wouldn’t say the alt isn’t viable

[shell cradle]

You can definitely enjoy the melee playstyle more but I think it's just worse, melee in general isn't great in this game you'd much rather have ranged attacks

[shell cradle]

At the end of the day it's still Acrid and as long as you have poison you can never count him out ig

[wheat mango]

Hey everyone I'm pretty new to the game but I just sank around 24 hrs into in the past week or so and I've unlocked a few characters but I seems that my achievements got corrupted or something and there no longer unlocked what can I do to fix this ?

[hot hill]

@short iris too stronk, Prime Meridian cannot hold them

[frail merlin]

31 growth nectar😭

[hot hill]

is a hell of a drug

[short iris]

What the hell my audio was NOT like this

Who the hell is using a typewriter 😭

[pseudo nebula]

Getting 20 Hemorrhage stacks sucks.

[frail merlin]

I’m gonna try to get as much item I can before crashing, currently sitting at 400

[ancient ocean]

is there anyone on ps who wants to play whos generally good at macro and multiplayer survivor synergies?

[short iris]

What console do you play on?

[ebon gust]

I'd assume PlayStation, since they're asking about ps

[short iris]

OH OH MY GOD I COMPLETELY MISSED THAT LOLL

[short iris]

I'd like to consider myself great at macro, I'm unsure about multiplayer survivor synergies as I don't have a boatload of mp experience and tbf Idk what would synergies in multiplayer that well for survivors

[quartz bay]

i think its just like one person is lets say loader for higher single target damage items like bands and someone else is commando for more dps items like bleed and syringes

[tribal wigeon]

Just use command and get a bunch of backup mags, also use lights out because it gives you back all stacks of backup mags

[frail merlin]

Ok I crashed stage 40 by entering the tp, not the way I wanted to go out but oh well at least manage to reach around 700+ items.

[short iris]

Highest i got was like 1500 but it was on command and sac so I had control over the lag entirely

[frail merlin]

Playing on sacrife would have made it a lot faster had to full loot everything while controlling my speed thanks to growth nectar

[junior perch]

Does anyone know how to get the logbooks for the different Bulwarks Ambry variants? I'm on one of them rn (I think it's the Aphelian one) and I cannot find the logbook

[keen rampart]

From where you activate the orb, to your right there should be a little island on the edge of stage, with a little piece of land below it which should always have the logbook

[junior perch]

There's nothing there. Maybe it's the Wisp Research variant. It's one of the 2. I just know it isn't the Tar one.

[keen rampart]

Do you see like a ring thing with a bridge or whatever going through it?

[junior perch]

This thing?

[keen rampart]

Yeah it should be on that bridge

Just follow along it

[junior perch]

Artifacts and difficulty don't affect logbooks, right?

[keen rampart]

Nope

Is it not there?

[junior perch]

No.

[keen rampart]

Look through your logbook you may have picked it up with knowing.

[junior perch]

I only have OG Bulwarks

[keen rampart]

It may have been pushed around by whatever enemy's were spawning look around nearby, if it's not there it may have either bugged out or fell into the void

[junior perch]

I already looked everywhere for it so it probably fell in the void fml

[keen rampart]

Unfortunate

Better luck next time

[short iris]

Hidden realm logbooks dissappear after 5 irl minutes

Maybe normal logbooks too but idk

[ebon gust]

Normal don't, I believe

[meager niche]

[frail merlin]

Power mode multi with rebar, scrap launcher and luminous shot is quite the combo

[meager niche]

When I run power mode and use scrap as 2nd the scrap ends up stealing the luminous shots is that not the case for you

[frail merlin]

No, it doesn’t.

[alpine sorrel]

Hey guys is there 120fps support on ps5 for the game?

[hot hill]

I think it's 60 fps at 4k

[alpine sorrel]

Oh

[alpine sorrel]

Yk on other games theres like fidelity mode and performance

Does ror2 have that?

[hot hill]

No options for performance/resolution on ps5

[alpine sorrel]

Okaay

[short iris]

The things I'd do for a preformance mode that'd be awesome

The game doesn't even run bad at all i just would love the option for it

[hot hill]

Same.

[frail merlin]

I will never understand why pc has so much graphics/performance related settings but console doesn’t even get one of them

[sweet edge]

because PC builds can vary wildly and consoles....can't

[frail merlin]

It still wouldn’t hurt to have some settings ported over if you wanna have a better performance at the later stages or if you have an old console.

[sweet edge]

I don't disagree, just saying that there's no precedent for it because it wasn't really a thing until this current generation. RoR on consoles has always seemed like a consolation prize to me.

[cyan sigil]

playing on switch rn. Assuming it’s a common problem but I keep erroring with “NAT traversal…” when joining my friend on online, and it happens both ways. Any fix found for this or no

[sweet edge]

it'll be some kind of setting with either your or your friend's internet connection

[cyan sigil]

do you know what kind of setting or where I can find that out

[sweet edge]

I don't know what the full error is so it's hard to say

[cyan sigil]

damn ight

[cyan sigil]

u know some place where I can ask or sum like that idk

[hearty cargo]

Ah, this shit again

[noble furnace]

What is this?

[wispy crypt]

Oh me lord

[hearty cargo]

<@&559786374228738069> Scam bot above -- please get rid of it

[onyx mulch]

benedictgoodman was banned.

[wispy crypt]

Neat it only spread to 2 channels

[noble furnace]

I have dark theme and it threw me off because the profile picture is the same color as my background.

[wispy crypt]

Ye thats the intent

[noble furnace]

Yeah, I imagine that.

[hearty cargo]

That was surprisingly fast, nice

[frozen sequoia]

Has anyone else spawned in as a larva on ps5 ror2

[rugged isle]

How to get more persons?

[blissful surge]

[meager niche]

Is the music for switch fixed

[hot hill]

I don't believe so but I haven't been back to the switch version since SotS started making it crash more often

@sly thorn is it?

[sly thorn]

no

[short iris]

I did hear someone say that uninstalling and re-downloading fixed it

[wispy crypt]

I wish it at least worked a little like how it did in prior versions where music and sound effects would cut out frequently but become more and more stable the more you play the game even between restarts

The sotv update was pain for me for like 5 hours but gradually all those audio issues just vanished

[frail merlin]

Can’t wait for gearbox to completely delete the audio in the next update

[elder sentinel]

Do you like merc

[sly thorn]

maybe

[torn fossil]

anything for +1 optimization

[frail merlin]

Just wait until they learn you can turn of the audio in the settings

[nimble wolf]

Is acrid still unplayable?

[wispy crypt]

No

[nimble wolf]

They fixed him?

[wispy crypt]

Yes

[nimble wolf]

Is the rest of the game fixed? (Apart from the dlc)

[wispy crypt]

Mostly yeah

The switch still got some issues but overall the game is normal again

[nimble wolf]

Oh, yeah i never expected the switch version to get fixed tbh

One time i beat the game on monsoon on switch and it just straight up didnt give me the monsoon skin :/

[wispy crypt]

That isnt one of the switch's current issues though

[nimble wolf]

Oh

Yeah that was some time last year, probably before they recoded the whole thing

[stable matrix]

It kinda is tho, the game crashing give me VF skin but not the log

[wispy crypt]

You werent playing eclipse right?

[stable matrix]

Switch version is surprisingly good but the new crashes are kind of annoying

[stable matrix]

Nope, monsoon
I don't play eclipse

[frail merlin]

Ngl switch I feel like the switch has better pre sots just because of the random crashes

[stable matrix]

I only had two of those and I have played the dlc a lot

Weird that both crashes were in runs where I got to Mithrix (and previously killed the False Son)

Most runs to FS and ending with the shrine I didn't have any problems

[hot hill]

@wispy crypt I guess they fixed the shattered abodes log?

[wispy crypt]

The issue isnt abodes its disturbed impact, the nighttime variant

[hot hill]

Oooohh

My bad

[wispy crypt]

Thats why its such a pain to get

Because I'd have to drag a newbie all the way to stage 6 for a chance to get it

[hot hill]

The obvious solution is for me to delete my save data

[stable matrix]

What happened to that log? Isn't it possible to get it rn?

[hot hill]

It has the same loot pool as titanic plains

If you have the log for a stage, it doesn't spawn again and since they share the same pool, it won't spawn in disturbed impact either if you have titanic plaind

[wispy crypt]

Treeborn used to have the opposite issue, as its radio scanners kept spawning even if you got the log

Meaning the game gave me 3 useless radio scanners here

[hot hill]

I don't think I ever remember seeing more than one scanner spawn in a stage at once

You didn't need that loot, right?

[wispy crypt]

It is possible but very rare

[main bridge]

Question is seekers of the storm worth

[nimble wolf]

Does it still lag like crazy?

[stable matrix]

Like with pre sots update?

No
It is consistent (nothing crazy) until 2h runs or more than a galvanic wurm spawns

[nimble wolf]

Oh

Neat, i havent played on switch since before the fix last october actually

[stable matrix]

There's a bug rn that crashes the game, idk the specifics but I have experienced it twice

[nimble wolf]

Oh, when did it happen to you?

[stable matrix]

End of the run after killing Mithrix, it was a run where I previously beat false son

It counts as a win in the stats but the game did crash during the cutscenes, also didn't gave me the VF log

[nimble wolf]

Is it to do with the new dlc? I havent bought it yet

[quartz bay]

"at least its portable!!" negative 12fps stage 4

[quartz bay]

id say so, the items make the game alot easier which is fine since the game is still fun

while not often, getting deathmark isnt as impossible as it was pre sots

something still bad about it are the new enemies are still obnoxious to kill

[main bridge]

Ok thanks

[pliant olive]

Dumb questions since I'm bouncing between 2 and Returns.
1: There any way to fix Switch music bug? Really don't like the tunes just dying mid-stage...
2: Am I supposed to be able to play DLC characters with the expansions disabled? That doesn't feel right...

Also, is it worth getting my partner a physical copy of 2 for their birthday so we can play together? I don't know the world's opinions on Switch. Probably think it's complete ass and inferior because bugs and crashes.

[quartz bay]

at least to my knowledge theres no way to fix the music bug

2. you can if you like, i did it for a while before the item rework

[pliant olive]

Well damn... That sucks.

"Try playing on Drizzle for an easier time!"

I'm getting back into the game. What do you THINK I'm doing!?

I want to get better, because she's quite fun... But am hot garbage at Loader.

[hidden cedar]

Is this a similar issue with Viscous falls? That's the other one I can't for the life of me get

[stable matrix]

Switch is okay, it is worse but it works and it's portable and you can play pretty much without problems unless you want to loop and do 3h runs

Also switch has local co-op (like wireless between consoles) as far as I know, you should look more into it though since I haven't tried it

Also if you have dlc's and you play together they don't need the dlc's, if you host they would have the stages, enemies, items etc. (They wouldn't be able to use the characters tho)

[pliant olive]

Yeah, kind of why I want to get them a copy. They seem into Returns, and I think they might like 2 as well.

[stable matrix]

I have a little over 365h on the switch, for me it was worth every dollar

[pliant olive]

About 225, so I'm getting there. Definitely worth it, for base and DLCs(once SotS got cleaned up...)

[gritty oracle]

Putting salt on all console gamers by february

[short iris]

Oh yummers

[hot hill]

What

[elder sentinel]

He’s gonna cook us

[wispy crypt]

I can now confidently say that does not work in the slightest

[short iris]

Awesome

[junior perch]

Didn't find the Viscious Falls logbook after my 6th time coming here so here's a clip of me just straight up crashing out as Merc

[elfin ore]

Which hero is good for prismatic on ps5 ? I need to complete to unlock the harvester scythe

[hot hill]

That depends on the seed for the day but honestly, none are bad at it

[noble furnace]

Except Chef.

[stable matrix]

How many logs are bugged rn? I'm aiming to get the 100% of ror2 and I don't want to waste time in something that doesn't spawn

[wispy crypt]

Only the disturbed impact log

All other logs are feasibly obtainable

[stable matrix]

It wasn't the night variant of the tree map the one that you couldn't obtain if you had titanic plains or something?

[wispy crypt]

No that is disturbed impact

[stable matrix]

Ok ok thx

[hot hill]

The printer is eepy

[junior wharf]

🛏️

Going honk shoo mimimimimimimimimimimi

[hot hill]

I know I've got a couple more screenshots of printers spawning at a 90⁰ in that same spot

[normal warren]

NOOOO THE GUP

[junior perch]

Screw the gup. He got in my way in the middle of my "Hold RT and crash out" moment

[ebon gust]

Ya don't need environmental logs for 100

(I'm missing like 8 of em and I have 100%)

They're all dlc, besides stupid ass sundered grove

[stable matrix]

You need them in my book, it just feel weird having 100% and not having all the logs

[ebon gust]

That's fair, I thought u were just talking about numbers wise

(I don't believe I have 100% either, need those friggin logs)

[weak zinc]

Risk devs putting in a way for the menu to crash every time I try to log in with friends WITHOUT updating the game

[quartz bay]

wouldn't the solution just be updating your game lol

[coarse pivot]

"how dare multiplayer not work when i skip an update"

[wispy crypt]

Why would you even want to not update

The previous versions are much more broken unless they somehow still have a pre sots version

[short iris]

I think they're tryjng to say their game started crashing without a new update coming out

[fervent herald]

Does anybody know why the game keeps crashing for me?

Anybody else have this issue?

It keeps happening around stage 3

[wispy crypt]

Which console

[fervent herald]

Xbox

[ebon gust]

Not too sure

[fervent herald]

I haven't been able to finish a run cuz the game keeps crashing lol

[urban karma]

Man I can't play ror2 because the L2 button on my PS4 controller makes the camera go up for some reason

I can't get it to stop

It used to be tolerable but now it just isn't

Rip

Can't even remapp the secondary skill because it's just not comfortable anywhere else 😭😭

[short iris]

Nobody does it like Sony.

[urban karma]

Borrowing a controller

Won with void fiend on monsoon

I used the devotion artifact but meh

[wispy crypt]

The more I hear the menu music and ONLY the menu music when playing this game the more Im starting to hate it

Its the only damn song on the switch version that doesnt cut out because literally nothing is happening in the menu

Honestly Im really curious what even causes that issue and what's stopping gearbox from fixing it

[frail merlin]

Could have been from trying to optimize the audio if they ever did it

[wispy crypt]

But the audio was perfectly fine before

[frail merlin]

Yeah but they did also have to port 2 whole dlc and a rebuild, I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed anything.

[wispy crypt]

Like I get that hardware limitations are most likely whats causing this issue to be this extreme and long lasting but I heavily doubt that they're unable to fix or at least reduce the severity of it

I mean

The music just going completely silent

Until after 2 minutes of barely anything happening

And so fragile that it even regularly breaks in the fucking bazaar

[frail merlin]

Hold up I have an idea.
Gearbox heard the complaint about the glitchy music when sotv released on switch but when they tried to fix it take two bought gearbox cleaved the team and rushed the dlc.

[wispy crypt]

I dont care that the music broke like that I care that it hasnt been fixed or reduced in any of the patches following the sots release

Im wondering if gearbox even realises how big of an issue this really is

Like its an entire part of game design completely chopped off

[frail merlin]

I’ve done plenty of complaining even if I don’t play with audio but gearbox never answered any of our complaints. At this point making a ticket is the only way

[wispy crypt]

Its the second most talked about console bug in this channel, only beaten by the bug on xbox that doesnt save unlocks

[frail merlin]

I can only assume our reports/complaints are getting washed over by the pc ones. Gearbox aren’t even answering us anymore after the first week and Preston has gone into hibernation again

[wispy crypt]

If it happened once or twice in a run I could honestly live with it

But every single god damn stage and tp event it happens within seconds

And almost always lasts until the tp event is over at which point no music plays anymore anyways

[hot hill]

I get that they're working on a lot of things but at least some kind of acknowledgement of the issue and that they're working on it would be nice. Especially since we've had a couple patches with no mention

[wispy crypt]

Im fairly sure they know of it

And I hope they also how many switch users are begging for it to be fixed

[hot hill]

You're probably right but the fact that we've gotten radio silence about isn't a great sign

[stable matrix]

The worst thing about gb is honestly the lack of communication

[short iris]

When I send the ticket they said that they're aware of it and that it's high priority

[frail merlin]

Now if they somehow doesn’t manage to fix the bug it will be even more disappointing, same applies to the random crashes since I told a gearbox member about that bug while they were active in discord.

[quartz bay]

im half expecting the audio issues to be a optimization thing

like having less sound channels, making the music/sfx to overlap eachother, gives the game an extra frame lmfao

it at least explains why gearbox hasn't bothered fixing the audio since the rebuild dropped

Could anyone help me understand a glitch I’m having with my progress not saving?

All the trials start unlocking for me and randomly give me the artifacts these are 90 minute plus runs where I’m unlocking commandos alternates and voidfiend. Then I’ll close the game and all my progress is gone. I’ve played on pc before this so is this like a console exclusive thing or what ?

[junior wharf]

Did you die or win the run?

It doesn't save if you don't

[scenic creek]

so, I have been playing risk of rain for a long time and recently actually been trying to complete the survivors. I have been getting each attack they have and what not and trying to get the skins, but recently, I encountered a problem. I was playing with artificer and beat the game on monsoon but I had no monsoon skin. even more recently I was playing commando and beat the game on monsoon but still no mastery skin. I have no idea what is happening. I have checked for updates, restarted my system, but I have no idea what to do. Maybe it is because I am still on PS4. If anyone has knowledge on this, please tell me. it would be much appreciated.

[short iris]

I've had a similar issue with dead cells in 2021 where none of my progress was saving, and I fixed it by messing around with the automatic ps plus cloud save data upload. I don't remember if I turned it on to be automatic or off but that helped me in that situation atleast

Could be completely different though, hope I works regardless

[robust steppe]

I won the run then did another run after

[soft knot]

I hear that if you call the YN Grinch he will have a fix for you

[hollow yew]

Before i bug report it myself anybody else having an issue with getting mastery skins? On monsoon i have the screenshot i obliterated and didnt get the skin, same happened on mercenary and now its twice in a row of no mastery skin despite obliterating on monsoon

[rocky girder]

hey quick question, is there a cap to how many turrets engineer can have?

like with lysate cell

So, if you have a 120min command run, don't pick up sonorous whisper with 20 clovers and 5 void boss item on switch
If they kill one of your void dude the game is going to crash 100% lol

It was amaizing, at least 40 drops on void fields (void portal never spawned) and when one of the void allies died it was a chain reaction that froze the game for 1s and the crash, it was funny tho

[orchid fossil]

Is there still a difference with spawns from pc to console I feel like console spawns more enemies

[frail merlin]

Pretty sure there is a different but not by a lot, shouldn’t be so noticeable just the director acting a bit different.

[scenic creek]

So I found a very overpowered build that makes you pretty much almost invincible. All you need is about 10-15 fuel cells, blast shower, a few gestures of the drowned, and safer spaces. You see, the cap for equipment cooldown is about 0.5 seconds, but if you just stack gestures and fuel cells, it breaks that. And with blast shower, it removes all status effects. Safer spaces cooldown can be removed with blast shower. Same with bands, void bands, raincoat, etc. etc. I played a run with it and I had been able to loop 3 times, on monsoon, and beat voidling. If you try this build, I recommend getting eulogy zero because with it you can sometimes find lunar items in normal chests, meaning you only have to pay for eulogy zero and then technically if your luck is good you can get the gestures. Also I recommend getting at least 10-15 fuel cells though I always shoot for 30, and at least 5-10 gestures of the drowned. After that all you need is one Safer Spaces and maybe a ben's raincoat and bands, but other than that, you can use anything. This build can guarantee a god run, but if you like to play and have a challenge, do not use it. It makes the game very easy. I would recommend this build only to do certain things if you cannot do that thing. like if you are stuck trying to beat a certain boss or unlock a certain skin, but only if you have tried and given up, because this build takes away the challenge and the reward of the unlock.

[keen rampart]

I'm pretty sure someone's already done this, but good on you for finding this yourself keep at it and you'll find something completely new

[wispy crypt]

Its a fairly well known strategy tbh

Especially after windette made a video about it

It also still doesnt protect against the void implosion insta kills

The only things capable of that are strides of heresy and trespass as those remove your hurtbox for a bit instead of just making you invincible

But good to see more people experimenting with items instead of just following guides

[solemn solar]

GEARBOX WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME

[stable matrix]

I just spawned below the ground on rallypoint delta lol

I was seeker so I was able to use sojourn to basically fly to the "surface" but that could have been horrible if I was idk, Commando and was on eclipse 8

Quality is shit because this is a switch (and not a normal one, a switch lite, lol)

[urban halo]

It is most likely due to the beetle guard allies. They'll spawn in before you when a stage switches, resulting in you spawning in or near them and it forces you under the map. Not sure if I explained that correctly, but it has happened to my friend and I multiple times on Xbox.

Best fix, don't have the beetles

[short iris]

"equipment cooldown caps at 0.5 seconds unless you reduce your cooldown" 😭😭😭😭

[stable matrix]

[noble furnace]

He doesn't know.

[noble furnace]

Equipment doesn't have the 0.5 minimum cooldown, only abilities of survivors have that minimum 0.5 cool down.
Except for Chef and artificer primary if you have attack speed on them.

[hot hill]

I know the executive card has a 0.5s internal cooldown. If you rapidly try to buy the entire multishop, it's possible to buy the first item then buy the second before the 0.5s, locking you out of the third item

You can still die if two attacks hit you in one frame (I think). I once had enough safer spaces that it activated every frame, but I still died from voidling projectiles

I haven't played on the switch since before the last DLC. How is it and should I get it?

Rip my console homies. Played five minutes on my friends switch, that switch ain’t lasting 1 loop unplugged

[crimson oak]

is SOTV just online only?

[lilac mesa]

no? why would it

[short iris]

You might require an internet connection for it to work due to how the game works but that might not be the case? I think it's like, an Xbox thing

[hot hill]

Yeah, the xbox, for some godforsaken reason, doesn't download the license for the dlc and store it on the console. Instead, it checks every time you start the game and if you're not connected during that check, no dlc

[crimson oak]

Well fuck me ig, that's ass

[white quarry]

You said it

[crimson oak]

Thanks for letting me know, I'm not getting the second one if it's like that

[iron badger]

Hello and good morning guys, I would like to ask if there is anyone willing to share the 2nd dlc for the trophies

Or even split it, I’m on ps and I would like to get the three trophies for this dlc

I’m willing to pay if someone share, I just need the trophies then I’m done

Thanks for your attention 👍🏼🤝🏼🎮

[white quarry]

🇷🇺?

[iron badger]

What is your question friend?

[white quarry]

Oh was wondering if you were Russian

[iron badger]

Oh sorry, no

[white quarry]

(I assumed since you are not buying the dlc but trying to play its content, and you can’t buy it in Russia)

[iron badger]

Ohh ok, so the thing is that I bought the SOTV dlc on promo after years, and now I need the 2 dlc for the 100%

But I don’t want to pay full price and it takes forever to get in promo…

[tidal pike]

any advice for playing bandit/railgunner those two are the most fun for me so far

[short iris]

Bandit:
Don't underestimate hemmerage! It's like bleed, on steroids. Make sure to always be behind enemies for crits, this means you can scrap lens makers for other more useful items
Railgunner:
You can use your primary to knock yourself backwards, this is incredible combined with mines as it lets you multiply your velocity with both of these, it also allows you to skip pillars with no items! Contradictory to what you might belive, crit is actually worse on railgunner then other characters except bandit it's a bunch of blah blah blah math stuff but basically: still pick up crit (obviously) but if you have any choice of something else, don't dwell on it. All damage increasers are better, defense and mobility printers are awesome, multi shops often have better choices

[frail merlin]

Railgunner struggles quite a lot on dodging because of the constant scooping that why it’s important to be able to quickly kill the most threatening enemies so you have less to dodge but if it gets to overwhelming running away and using your range is always a good tactic

[stable matrix]

Railgunners require you to know how to create space between you and the enemies, scoping while surrounded with enemies can be deadly (though sometimes you wouldn't have a choice)
I also would add that you shouldn't underestimate her m1, once you have some items it is pretty useful for killing blind pests and wisp and any other "lesser enemy"

With bandit I would say that you should use the invisibility stun instead of just using the skill to run away

[noble furnace]

I just see the beautiful art and the arrows when I click in the image and I love it.😆

[stable matrix]

Is there any way of fixing the music bug? Or if it happens you're fucked until the next stage?

[wispy crypt]

You can "fix" it by keeping the sfx volume in the settings at 0%

The music sometimes also recovers on its own if barely any noise happens for multiple minutes

But yeah theres no real good way to avoid the music dying

[stable matrix]

[quartz bay]

i just got reminded and honestly find it kinda how iirc a youtuber made like a 15 minute video specifically on stage 4 because 99% of the ror2 community doesn't know what running around in a circle is lmfao

are you connected to the internet?

[faint pewter]

Checking in with yall, seekers of the storm is still broken or is it worth a cop finally?

[sly thorn]

All the bugs are gone and the items are top tier.
FS is fun imo, but others don’t like him.
The survivors need some tuning

[faint pewter]

So would you say wait a little more?

[sly thorn]

It’s your choice. I would buy it if you have the cash if you don’t care for the survivors a lot

[short iris]

Oof that's rough, what did you count up to in the streak? @frail merlin

[frail merlin]

3 is what I’m on now but before that my win rate was really consistent, like about 70%

[quartz bay]

shouldve screenshoted the run history every so often

[urban scroll]

Keyboard and mouse on console is still not supported for anyone waiting on that

[uncut crescent]

Are there any promises that they're gonna add it?

[rough valve]

In y’all opinion what’s the best grey item

[frail merlin]

Easy 50k+ gold

[short iris]

used regen scrap Elusive antlers, but white items generally bounce off of eachother a lot and their quantity is a big reason or how good they are

[frail merlin]

Delicate watches is the best item for me

[scenic creek]

so is there a perk for fully charging the halcyon shrine of no?

[keen rampart]

Yeah more items out of the crystal

[wispy crypt]

How the fuck did the gilded elites get through qa and testing like this

[quartz bay]

no

so weird they removed k&m support

[white canopy]

Bruh why do the void critter be falling through the map cuh

[scenic creek]

honestly, I have had that problem too where void infestors and larva keep falling through the map. I am not complaining though. They are annoying ass hell to kill because I cannot ever hit them.

[stable matrix]

Same, but it is weird, I have noticed it happens less since the second dlc came out though

[lofty island]

Anyone having the issue of just not being able to open the logbook? And also not being able to get any achievements or unlock items or survivors you don't have?

[white quarry]

You mean you are unlocking them, but it isn’t saying you have?

[lofty island]

No like my logbook just doesn't load at all

[white quarry]

Never heard that one before

[lofty island]

Its just blank when I press on it

[white quarry]

You tried reinstalling the game?

[lofty island]

Not yet but I'll try

[white quarry]

That should fix it since it sounds like some files went bad when installing it

[lofty island]

It first happend ever since the newest update came out

[white quarry]

Or they didn’t play nice with sots update

[lofty island]

Well I reinstalled and the logbook still just doesn't exist

[white quarry]

Damn

[lofty island]

Thank you gearbox for always making such non buggy stuff at launch

[white quarry]

Yeah I lost my entire save when sots came out

Gb on it as always

I'm not all that bothered about not getting rex or monsoon skins but huge loss that I can't get scythe

[wispy crypt]

@short iris while (unsuccessfully) trying to rediscover your tp charge skip I did come across a smaller but interesting quirk of the tp

Also on a sidenote 3 whole minutes of very active gameplay without the music cutting out

UNLIMITED POWERRRR

[stable matrix]

Felstitan sound so cool lmao

[short iris]

WERTUS DOES THIS WORK ON RESUPPLY BEACONS PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW OH MY GOD

[wispy crypt]

No

[short iris]

FUCK

[wispy crypt]

So far of all the interactables I tested only the tp has this reusable property

[short iris]

There's gotta be SOME sort of ridiculous exploit with this

[wispy crypt]

Or at least indefinitely usable

You could do this with resupply but only until its charges run out

[short iris]

Do blooshrines suck during or after the pause ?

[wispy crypt]

Havent found one yet but the cradle does deal the damage immediately

[short iris]

I'm assuming you've also tried this with using the tp once it's charged, right? Idk what could happen but maybe

[wispy crypt]

Charged tp can also be spammed although it isnt really of much use

Unfortunately aside from being an interactable use spam nothing seems to happen

No extra bosses from mountain shrines, no other silly stuff

[short iris]

Squid polyp?

Oh they have a cap

once I finish persona 5 I really need to test this
I really need to finish that game. I haven't played ror in like a month and I'm having withdrawals 😮‍💨

I refuse to believe the only exploit with this is fireworks and tp

[wispy crypt]

I mean the polyps are arguably even more broken with this

Did that on a dunestrider on stage 2 and the thing went FLYING

[short iris]

I wonder... Would opal/slug or safer spaces reset early?

[wispy crypt]

Very unlikely

The reason this works is because it happens in between frames

Since the game doesnt advance to the next frame, the tp can be hit indefinitely

[frail merlin]

New Game breaking bug jumpscare

[short iris]

Only ONE interactble that you can do this on and also works with gouge PLEASE

[frail merlin]

Did you test portal?

[wispy crypt]

Yeah

Portals, chests, (some) shrines, delusion chests, money pots, drones and more

[short iris]

What about scrappers

I heard someone saying smth about scrappers and pausing but I heard conflicting things

[wispy crypt]

Havent found a scrapper yet (mainly because im currently still doing this with command)

[wispy crypt]

Oh also this wouldnt work regardless of when the hp gets updated because the interactability goes away when you use it

Interesting

Using this with resupply let me use goobo 4 times but only 3 goobos actually spawned

[stable matrix]

You can scrap with the same technique but if you scrap multiple items (like different ones) the games bugs and gives you only one scrap

I initially thought you could scrap everything but after testing it isn't possible (I mean, technically you can scrap everything but you're not going to get the scrap from it)

[wispy crypt]

Fmp still locks itself after 3 uses like normal

[wispy crypt]

VERY INTERESTING

With a foreign fruit (woodsprite too ig) you can open a void cradle as viend while over 75% corruption and still heal back from the then 100% to 50% without entering his corrupt form

Same prob goes for blood shrines

[stable matrix]

Wow

[wispy crypt]

Dammit

It doesnt save watches though

Woulda been too hype

[stable matrix]

You can use the inventory thing during adapt chest, that's funny

[wispy crypt]

The moment I noticed that you could still do some things like use your equipment or intact while that pause was going on I knew that it would house some obscure nutty shit

[stable matrix]

I always use it to scrap items or if I'm playing command artifact lol

[wispy crypt]

And it feels like I'm barely scratching the surface of whats possible with it

[short iris]

Wait thats INSANE (for me)

Literally YEARS of this game and I'm still absolutely dogshit at adaptive chests

[wispy crypt]

Ok I may be going crazy but it feels like the music is sometimes just not cutting out for ages

Is it finally magically going away for me?

Can I listen to the music again per complete miracle?

[stable matrix]

It is random, I had music for a while after the dlc, then no music at all, then I had music just for half the stage...

I think it varies depending on the stage? I tend to notice it more in reformed altar, treeborn colony and stage 5 no matter which one though im sky meadow is worse

[wispy crypt]

I almost never get to hear the music in altar and treeborn

OH BRUH I CRASHED

Had to happen at some point

I got a surprising amount of runs in before the game crashed tbh

But this basically confirms it

Those crashes are entirely unrelated to things that tear down the performance

Literally had like 3 thousand fireworks active at the same time during the tp

And the game crashed only after all that was over when I left the stage

[sleek pelican]

hi how do i cross play from pc to xbox

You should be able to but you'll need the disc in if you want to play the upgraded version

[jovial sierra]

Oh okay cool. Thank you. Imma purchase it

only 8 bucks

[stable matrix]

Yeah the crash seems like you need to keep the game open for long periods of time, I haven't had a crash in days (even though I had broken runs that made the switch cry)
But I almost always do a run, close the app do other things and then open the game again for another run

The only day I played like 5h was the day my game crashed

[hot hill]

[noble furnace]

Phasmofobia and library of ruina is making me have a wonderful experience while playing so yeah, I have not been that active but I always check the chat

[frail merlin]

Fair enough, I barely can even find the motivation to consistently play ror2 anymore.

[noble furnace]

I have 2000 hours of Risk of rain 2, so yeah I did reach the burn out point but I will still play it every now and then.

[wispy crypt]

This is why I mainly play the game to try to mess around with stuff nowadays

Dont really feel the need to do everything I still havent done (except complete the logbook) so playing around with the game's mechanics to try to find unintended ways to utilise them is a fresh breath of air

Especially the inventory pause is very interesting to me

There is so much jank it can cause

[frail merlin]

I did set a goal for myself to get a good e8 winning streak in character order but now I noticed that I have 6 games I gotta finish and I just can’t get off elden ring to continue playing the others.

[desert jacinth]

I didn’t know mithrix was cold like that didn’t even look at me

[wispy crypt]

Thats why I always stick to the pillars and rocks in phase 4

[desert jacinth]

I was trying to set him up to skip phase 4 but the fire band missed by one inch

[wispy crypt]

That skip also isnt too reliable anymore

[frail merlin]

Screaming at the screen for you to have not attacked that late in the first place also never thought I see another console player having 2k+ lunar coins

[wispy crypt]

Instead of checking every tick, the kjaro inferno now only checks every second tick for enemies to hit

So basically the kjaro phase skip is a coinflip now even if you do it properly

[desert jacinth]

I didn’t know that I guess I’ve just been getting lucky

[short iris]

Whuhhh???? Is this a sots thing???

[wispy crypt]

Yes

[short iris]

Do you think this is like an intentional change in the code or a bug....?

[wispy crypt]

Prolly intentional for optimisation

Because for what reason other than buggy jank would you need the game to run checks for kjaro on every frame

[short iris]

When and how was this even found out

I'm shocked I haven't heard of this

[wispy crypt]

Well

The kjaro phase skip just sometimes didnt work for some people

And thats what was concluded

I have no clue if its still accurate or if it ever was accurate but its best to just mentally prepare for the possibility

And I am not running to mithrix several times to check if its actually about 50% because I have a life (lie)

[frail merlin]

I feel like the pillar skip has been more consistent for me since the update, to the point I have gotten like 4 non kjaro phase skip with no loop

[wispy crypt]

Wtf

How did mithrix keep the boss tag

[frail merlin]

Didn’t Mithrix always do that or did I forget

[wispy crypt]

Well no usually hitting a boss the frame that it spawns makes it so the boss doesnt get the boss tag

I dont even understand how this happened

Like did you hit him the frame he spawned or not?

[frail merlin]

I couldn’t find the clip(probably deleted it) but I remember doing a looped run and when we got to Mithrix we phase skipped but it didn’t work, he took damage but still got the frame and took our item.

[noble furnace]

I remember that false son when you hit him in the first frame when phase 3 starts his health bar becomes yellow instead of red and there was no boss health bar in the middle top of the screen, maybe mithrix is just built different?

[wispy crypt]

Yeah exactly thats how the boss skip usually goes

Boss gets hits the same frame as it spawns and therefore doesnt actually get tagged as a boss

Resulting in the game usually getting comfused like thinking awu is already dead when you just summoned it

And I was under the impression that the mithrix invuln and his boss tag are related or at least both get skipped the exact same way

But that clearly isnt the case as mithrix got the boss tag but didnt get the invuln

[noble furnace]

Yeah, I do remember that but like I wrote, maybe mithrix is just built different and he is the only true boss no matter what.

[frail merlin]

Mithrix is a lil bit special compared to the other bosses, like why is he unable to take your item when he get phase skip in the first place

[wispy crypt]

At the very least in older versions mithrix also would have his boss tag not applied

[noble furnace]

||joke BTW, it may just be modern RoR2 spaghetti code shenanigans||

[noble furnace]

Yeah, I do remember that.

[wispy crypt]

Man this game

[noble furnace]

Yeah, trust me, it's better to not think about it and just play it for fun.

Tip from myself after losing my mind long ago.

[frail merlin]

It’s only really the modders that are suffering the most from this

[noble furnace]

[wispy crypt]

Well and me since I constantly need confirmation from the 3 other versions of the game if my bug and exploit discoveries arent console or even platform exclusive

[noble furnace]

Today is my birthday, I have the afternoon free, I can do a quick run to see if on Xbox is different the phase 4 skip.

[wispy crypt]

Oh damn happy birthday

[noble furnace]

Thanks

[frail merlin]

🎉

[steel pine]

happy birthday!!!

[short iris]

From what I experienced he does this every single time if you just don't kill him. But phase 4 is so weak you kill him instantly if you phase 4 skip most of the time
If I had to guess, he needs to be a boss to steal your items so he regains It or smth idfk, but this has been a thing for ages

[short iris]

Happy birthday!

May thee be blessed with riches of plenty

[quartz bay]

rip to the people who take this game way to seriously

[noble furnace]

I stopped taking it seriously since in the middle of waiting for the SotV update.

[quartz bay]

i dont think i ever took the game as seriously as some others, although i would constantly get mad at the game pre sotv because some base game items are definitely the items of all time lol

[wispy crypt]

It is truly saddening having to delete the older clips on my switch to make space for new ones

I hope the switch 2 combined with whatever kind of sd card it uses can hold more than up to 1100 videos

[vivid sky]

This is awesome

[short iris]

Has anyone experienced GIANT lag spikes and desync lately?

I don't know what the fuck happened but for some reason I was getting sometimes down to 7fps on a non looped run

Host was double nailgun power mode MUL-T with perf and uke but I doubt that was causing it

Could've been meathook? Im not sure, but it was horrid. It even made a permament mithrix flame pillar that was able to kill me after the mithrix fight

[meager niche]

Which console?

4 or 5?

[short iris]

Ps4, but i haven't had it happen in any other runs, I did a run with the same person 5 days ago and it was completely fine

[meager niche]

Hmm, can you send a screenshot of your inventory?

[short iris]

Never got an image of my friends inventory but I recall him having as some notable ones. This was mine

The lag never occured from any pattern of my behavior so I doubt it was related to my items

[meager niche]

I'm not too sure then, I'm experimenting with a cross between the "I'm so sorry" doll and 50 Gasoline tanks and 50 Gas Canisters

The game is chugging slightly but not to a blatantly noticeable degree

[woven pelican]

Hey friends

Is mithrix’s wave getting stuck on loader’s python a bug?

“Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me” type death

But still sucks anywho

[stable matrix]

Yeah that second time was avoidable but damn, that sucks

[meager niche]

Speaking of switch is the music fixed on their yet

[wispy crypt]

Nope

[meager niche]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-falling-fast-gif-18043850

At least switch 2 will have the game at much higher quality

I can’t imagine they’ll screw up the game much more on there

[wispy crypt]

I wouldnt count on it tbh

[frail merlin]

having consistent a fps is probably a part of the quality. The graphic will probably be the same tho unless gearbox add a special version for it.

[hot hill]

Not even sure on that

Most ps4 games run about the same on 5 unless they specifically had ps4 pro stuff

[sweet edge]

they haven't even confirmed there's going to be a switch 2 version lol

[opaque stone]

i just got a 10:38 and wasnt recording

bro ts so sad 💔

thats consle wr too

such a good run and i forgot to record

im actually malding

is the consle record still from that playstation guy

bc i think that was 11 mins

and i got a sub 11

[flint hazel]

I just lost all my progress on ps5, does anyone have a fix?

Like all my characters and unlocks are gone

[quartz bay]

unless you have your save saved on playstation's cloud service then you wont be able to recover your save

[flint hazel]

Ight I don’t have ps+ so I’m cooked

Thanks tho 🤝

[quartz bay]

rip

i dont have ps plus either i might never touch the game ever again if that happened to me lol

[steel pine]

-1 is rough

[wispy crypt]

Trust me -1 will feel like nothing once youve seen a couple 0s coming from vagrant novas on later stages

That shit breaks me

[clear crane]

Does quickplay work 😭😭😭😭 been waiting for like 5 mins 😭😭

[wispy crypt]

Lmao 5 minutes

Count yourself lucky if you find someone through quickplay within 15 minutes

[clear crane]

😭😭😭😭

[wispy crypt]

Not a lot of people use quickplay so it tends to take a long time for people to show up

[clear crane]

Man that sucks it's so much better with other people 😭

Is there at least voice chat in quick play

[wispy crypt]

Idk probably not

Imo just pretend like the quickplay option doesnt exist and use #lfg-xbox-ror2 instead

[clear crane]

Cool thanks

[short iris]

This is bizaaree, tried replicating this on my run and got no luck. @wispy crypt Wanna test this out on your next loader run?

[meager niche]

My survivors of the void isn’t working. I bought it when I can out originally and it shows that I haven’t bought it when I try and buy it (it says free) it just says something went wrong and won’t do anything. Any advice?

[short iris]

Do you have an connection to the internet?

[meager niche]

Yes I am connected to the internet and seekers of the storm works fine

[short iris]

Ahh, yea i dont know how to help. Sorry 💔

[odd kite]

I just got a 3 GB sized update on ror2 in my Xbox, huh?

[wispy crypt]

3 gigs?

How recent is it?

[delicate cave]

I'm not sure if Xbox does this too, but steam does "updates" that are really just cloud syncs

[frail merlin]

What version are you on?

[odd kite]

Ver. 1.3.6#372

[odd kite]

Literally at the moment I sent my message

[frail merlin]

That’s currently the same version I’m on and I haven’t gotten any updates

[odd kite]

Than, maybe this is what happened, I don't know to be honest, this is just weird

[frail merlin]

I checked the version in game and it’s #371 instead of #372

[odd kite]

Ok, this is even weirder now, huh?

[woven pelican]

Yeah without a doubt, the waves were getting caught by the pythons, but just never had a run with so many lysate cells to notice.

[frail merlin]

@wispy crypt New interaction dropped, this is quite interesting since it’s just drain all your money.

[wispy crypt]

Thats interesting

[frail merlin]

Makes it real easy to kill aurelionite if you just dump all your gold on the last pillar

[short iris]

Switch specific glitch looks like

[frail merlin]

He’s playing on Xbox in the clip…

[quartz bay]

im still blaming the switch version

[short iris]

Oh what the fuck

I'm like actually losing my mind. In my head switch had the big hud permamently on and is exclusive to the switch

[hot hill]

Nah, you can enable that on any versiom

And it's only on on switch in handheld mode unless you change it manually like you can for any version

[frail merlin]

Satisfying

[wispy crypt]

I would die if that big ass hud was permanent on the switch 😭

[frail merlin]

My run history is like fully out of order, it’s entirely placed random. The huntress run I did just now is at the back meanwhile some run I did a month ago is on the most recent.

[undone musk]

i love playing on xbox and having half of my characters lose their mastery because of one crash ❤️❤️

[junior perch]

Luckily nothing THAT bad has happened to me. Most that happens to me is sometimes the loadouts I have selected for my survivors get reset for some reason

[junior perch]

I tried playing quick play a while back (maybe 6 or 7 months ago at most) and I stopped after almost every match I got into had at least 1 super hungry loot Goblin that just zipped around the map and stole all of the chests

So now I only play alone or with friends

[undone musk]

i lost entire challenges

extremely painful

[junior perch]

That really sucks. At least most of the challenges are pretty easy to accomplish, but man if I ever lost my Ethereal challenge completion I would probably just off myself

[undone musk]

really considering that right about now 😊

im glad i didn’t lose my mercenary mastery

tbf i only play him lol

[junior perch]

Then again tho, I've also never actually crashed before playing RoR2, and I play on Xbox too. So I actually don't know what would happen if it did crash for me.

Idk how much or how little I'd lose.

[undone musk]

could be something with the quick resume feature since its a bit dodgy

[junior perch]

That sounds kinda boring, imo.

Don't get me wrong, you do you. I'm all for simply just having fun in the game, and if playing Merc does that for you, then go ahead.

I personally like to bounce between survivors most of the time tho. I even play with Metamorphosis on quite often simply because I like the mystery of who I'm gonna play next

[undone musk]

i see cool man with cool sword
instant obsession

i still have to do that painful prismatic trial challenge

[junior perch]

Ah, Ethereal. Yeah I remember right before the SOTV DLC released, that challenge was the last one in the entire game I had to complete

[undone musk]

i’m gonna suffer for a bit

[junior perch]

I got lucky with the trial on the day I completed that challenge.

It had enigma, and I THINK frailty or chaos

1st stage was Sundered Grove amd 2nd was Abandoned Aqueduct. Took me about 6 attempts to do it

[mossy stratus]

Just a matter of time keep an eye on the prismatic trial channel

Artifact of glass is a savior got mine with a tesla coil and glass did it right before the reset

[fiery spruce]

how is gaming switch comparing to pc, is it fine ?

[frail merlin]

Like ror2 or just the games in general?
If we are talking ror2 pc is the best, better performance(if you have a good pc) and less bug. The only thing switch beats out pc is being able to play on handheld.

[hot hill]

@short iris here's one of those weird worm clips

[short iris]

This is crazy, the game just detonated the moon by itself during the cutscene and it completely deleted anything from that run ??? Set your name to hopoo, made you commando, no items, no artifact, no stats. What would you even report this as??? 😭

[hot hill]

One of the runs of all time

It is in my run history, though

[frail merlin]

When you break the game so much you become hopoo itself

[hot hill]

John Hopoo himself

[short iris]

Are you gonna report these or nah?

[hot hill]

I probably would have it nullified my run

But it worked out so it seems harmless

[delicate cave]

i love the fact that it's also hopooo and not even just hopoo

[wispy crypt]

This happened to me once however that time it was during a multiplayer run where I spammed so many fireworks it descynced everyone and broke everything, resulting in things like: the moon not detonating at end of timer, the frog being pet but no lunar coins being lost, the planetarium portal chat message appearing but not the portal itself and a BUNCH of other jank

[hot hill]

Nice

[wispy crypt]

So its weird that the worm there just desynced in a very stable run

[hot hill]

Yeah, no clue on mine since it was solo

Could've been because I'm on ps5 and qwp ps4

[wispy crypt]

As opposed to whatever the fuck I caused here

[hot hill]

Lol

[edgy nexus]

I just thought this was funny :) (literally right next to the Teleporter too)

[hot hill]

You're not a coward, right?

[edgy nexus]

I absolutely am using both of those, dw

[edgy nexus]

I don't regret it, and it's certainly better than having some other bosses tripled

1 boss down

[edgy nexus]

I won :)

[vivid sky]

Wooo!

[edgy nexus]

I'm honestly glad it was only 3 Wandering Vagrants ;-;

[elder trench]

If you don't hit every mountain shrine
You are playing wrong

[edgy nexus]

Fr

[sullen flame]

Damn

[elder trench]

We need artifact of prestige in ror2

[frail merlin]

It’s gotten to the point I instinctively dodges as soon I see that windup

[wispy crypt]

Who wouldnt

[frail merlin]

All the newbie or people with low reaction speed, you barely get a second before he teleports.

[hot hill]

It never feels that fast in game

[frail merlin]

I wish the halconyte were more common and not scorching worm

[jovial sierra]

is it still possible to get prisoner skin from deadcells on merc? i didnt play when it released

[hot hill]

It's free and not gated by anything as far as I can tell

[jovial sierra]

ohh so when i get merc ill have it unlocked??

[hot hill]

Ye, you should

[tall birch]

Curious, how many tougher times items would it take to completely block damage? I'm not sure how the scaling works and I want to get a better idea

[delicate cave]

millions

[tall birch]

Makes sense lol. If I were to go for the lunar character, do you think around 50+ will prolong my time?

[delicate cave]

only possible by a rounding bug with computers

[delicate cave]

65 will give you a 1 frame refresh

[tall birch]

Huh?

Idk what frame refreshes are if it's ror specific

[delicate cave]

the cooldown for the safer spaces shield at 65 stacks is 1 frame or 0.0167 seconds

frames being like, refreshes for a game kinda

[tall birch]

I c I c I did that before and got like 150 or something

So in math terms would've been a 0.0001 cooldown but I suppose that wouldn't work? I'm not sure

[delicate cave]

the minimum cooldown is 1 frame

frames are like images, and games are just a bunch of images really fast

[tall birch]

Touche I see

[delicate cave]

so 65 is the cap i believe

essentially immortality, but you could get hit twice in one frame

[tall birch]

That I do know which is essentially why I came here to ask

Thank you

The lunar character does take constant ticks of DMG, do I remember that right?? It's been a long time since I played the dude, trying to get it in the logbook

[delicate cave]

[tall birch]

Ye

[delicate cave]

she has negative regen is what it is

[tall birch]

mmmmm

[delicate cave]

so monsoon means you lose less health over time, drizzle more, because of regen multipliers

it can be offset by slug, and her shift heals 25% at 1 stack

[tall birch]

I am on monsoon

[delicate cave]

stacking her shift is actually really good, as just the duration goes up and not the cooldown
you cant attack during it (except equipment) but it will heal more with each stack

[tall birch]

do you think I should grab a seed of life?

[delicate cave]

it's a pretty solid extra life, but i often find use out of DML on heretic

worst case if you think you'll need it, you can take a dios on stage 4 (assuming you have command if you can choose seed)

[tall birch]

Alright I do have a couple of those

Alr I see what's possible now I appreciate it

[delicate cave]

also in the future, depending on who's in this chat, you might not get an answer, so i'd recommend #ror2-game-questions

[tall birch]

Gotcha

[tall birch]

Update: I'm not taking any tick of damage :D

[junior perch]

I FINALLY collected the Viscious Falls log.

Only ones I'm missing now are Disturbed Impact, Overloading Worm, and Voidling.

Kinda shocked that I haven't gotten the Overloading Worm log yet. The other 2 are understandable since I heard Disturbed Impacts log is a bit bugged and Voidling I rarely ever fight, but I've fought countless Overloading Worms over the years

[wispy crypt]

Impact is kind of unobtainable atm

Unless you play with someone who doesnt have the titanic plains log yet which is necessary for the radar scanner to be able to spawn

[stable matrix]

Command artifact + a lot of clovers = profit

[junior perch]

That is a strangely specific and odd bug to exist

[junior perch]

True, yeah. Never thought about that, actually

[stable matrix]

That's what I plan to do because logs are 1% or 3% if they're tp/special bosses (also voidling is 3% per phase) every clover is another 3% roll

Im missing voidling and false son lol

[meager niche]

It goes down to both using the exact same interactable pool

[junior perch]

I got lucky with my False Son log. I got it on my very first False Son run

[wispy crypt]

Voidling is only 3% on the last phase

And clover does not work like that

In the run where I shot for the voidling log I took 57 57 leaf clovers which amounts to about a ~75% chance for it to drop, I also had swarms on meaning there were 2 voidlings each phase that had the 75% chance

Only in the last phase did one of them drop the log

[junior perch]

I got the Overloading Worm and Voidling logs and thought I got every log I could (Aside from Disturbed Impact since that's bugged) and found out that my Golden Dieback log bugged out and disappeared.

Probably from one of the times I used quick resume.

[wispy crypt]

Youre on xbox right?

Newer unlocks just sometimes relock themselves when you close the game for some reason

[short iris]

? Wdym

[wispy crypt]

I really should read these messages twice before responding 😭

How did I misread "another 3% roll"

[meager niche]

I can't download the survivors of the storm DLC. I bought it when it released and it worked when Seekers came out and now it suddenly doesnt work

[sweet edge]

do you mean it doesn't work when you load the game?

cuz there's nothing really extra to download. the dlc are more keys that unlock the content in your game

[meager niche]

that is part of the problem it says it is free like I need to purchase it again

I did a rebuild of the data base on my PS5 and it says purchased now but doesnt give me access to the stuff in the dlc

[wispy crypt]

And youre sure its actually locked and not just turned off?

[meager niche]

Yes it is locked I am looking at it right now

Seekers is working just fine

[frail merlin]

Gearbox stole it from you

[meager niche]

Gonna uninstal and redownload to see if it fixes it

that worked I can finally play the game again!

[hot schooner]

Anyone play the new dlc on the switch? How does the game feel? Last time I played was on PC before Seekers came out

[sly thorn]

The game plays great, but Switch currently has a bug where the music will cut out randomly. That’s the only real issue though.

The new items are strong, I find the False Son boss to be enjoyable, and the characters are mid at best, Chef at worst

[hot schooner]

Is my boy chef still gimped? 😱

[sly thorn]

Yeah he is still ass 😔

He will get fixed tho

[hot schooner]

I remember seeing that roadmap hopefully chef rework soon

Guess I'll grab the dlc then

I haven't been keeping up with the recent updates, did Gearbox managed to fix much of the issues when the dlc dropped? Or are there any big issues still happening?

[sly thorn]

There are no major bugs remaining

[true oasis]

[junior perch]

Yeah, I was on Xbox

[edgy nexus]

2 Shrine of the Mountains (I'm going to die, aren't I? ;-;)

Nvm, I got lucky (Only got an Overloaded Stone Titan + Regular Stone Titan)

[quartz bay]

those 4 leeching seeds carried

8 predatory instinct w bandit shouldve been 8 leeching seeds tbh

[white quarry]

The deviousness of getting 4 leaching seeds instead of 3 when there is no notable difference is unforeseen

Also the shatterspleen plus 10 Tritip combo is criminal

[solar tide]

HOORAY, SOTS is on sale, might finally be worth getting!!!

[dusky rivet]

Finally

[wispy crypt]

Everything about that is criminal

[noble furnace]

I played a couple of runs after the last time I wrote here, (around 5 runs) and I can't get the Mythrix phase 4 with the fire band.🫠

[wispy crypt]

Yeah its not as consistent anymore

As far as I know it now only checks every 2 ticks if an enemy is in its range resulting in a 50/50

Could be less, maybe even just for console, or be wrong entirely

[meager niche]

Artis ice m2 and knockback fin hinder skips but it hasn't been inconsistent for me besides that

[regal edge]

I haven’t played Switch in forever

[sick trail]

GUYS

I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

can my friend on ps5 play with me on pc

like im on pc but hes on ps5

so does that crossplay get supported?

[hot hill]

Nope

[woven pelican]

Friends

We did it. I’m free

[frail merlin]

Congrat, now you just gotta do the sots characters

[noble furnace]

Yep

[wispy crypt]

Aight I completed tunic, gearbox can now release sots 2.0 wave 2

[meager niche]

only real one know why you no pick up void mushroom while have engineer

[short iris]

Imagine not knowing about the wungus ally transfer tech

[quartz bay]

tbh im picking up that awungus

the turrets will be fine and if one dies i can always spawn another

[short iris]

Do we have a based emote?

[quartz bay]

no but i do have this

[short iris]

Stealing, thanks

[dusky rivet]

Took me several hundred of hours to realize that bungus on engi is very overrated.

[quartz bay]

i think on eclipse especially bungus really doesn't matter since turrets die pretty quickly with only half health

half healing too

[sleek grotto]

Seems like PS and Xbox users are having scuffed issues with their save data. Kinda explains what happened to me yesterday 💀

[hot hill]

We are?

[dusky rivet]

We get like people weekly saying they lost their data

[wispy crypt]

But only on xbox

Never heard of that from a ps player

[frail merlin]

Just went into the search bar and typed ps and immediately find this #ror2-console-discussion message

[wispy crypt]

Ok but thats a bit different

That was one person losing all their progress

Instead of countless people continually losing recent unlocks

[frail merlin]

Fine another one #ror2-bug-reports-console message

[wispy crypt]

Thats some huge lag

[torn fossil]

forbidden mobility tech

[noble furnace]

Ultra instinct Loader.

[dense hamlet]

Console chat

[noble furnace]

Yep

[stable matrix]

Is switch the superior ror console version???

[quartz bay]

kekw

[frail merlin]

This is the second time someone asked me??? Obviously it’s no.

[edgy nexus]

I'm still alive....... somehow

[quartz bay]

its impossible to die in command runs anyway lel

[edgy nexus]

Not if you're a skill issue like me ;-;

[stone halo]

What possessed you to pick 5 bisons

[edgy nexus]

Extra Shield

It only caps to a bit past max health

[wispy crypt]

19 GUILLOTINES

[hot hill]

Watching these item choices is wild

[short iris]

It is absolutely hilarious

20 brooches no fmp lmao

[dusky rivet]

A single goat hoof😭

[delicate canopy]

So how's the dlc on console

Thinking about buying it soon to play it, just haven't gotten to it yet

[forest pumice]

Bro's last image had the teleporter at 69%, this one has the time at 69 minutes, tri tip daggers with shatterspleen, bison steaks, 20 brooches, literally one movement item... he has my respect

[earnest oyster]

If you have shatterspleen and full crit you have 100% chance to bleed so the 10 tri tip daggers aren't doing anything for you at that point. If you got other damage items you would have an easier time I think.

[meager niche]

I respect your item choices with command, instead of going for blatantly broken builds you are going wild

[wispy crypt]

The crit bleed build is possibly the most standard op build in the game

[hearty cargo]

I mean they're going an overpowered build, just that they also have at least 23 Green Scraps and 10 White Scraps

Fun fact, if you're new to the game: Leeching Seed does nothing for you. It heals for 1 HP for each time you hit something. That's just not enough healing compared to Medkit which has HP% healing, or Harvester's Scythe which heals for 8 HP +4 per stack on a crit

Going a crit build, or just playing the crit-happy Survivors (Bandit and Railgunner) means Harvester's Scythe is the immediately superior healing item 100% of the times xP

[hot hill]

Yeah, crit bleed is super strong because unlike tritip daggers, the crit bleed doesn't care about the proc chance of the attack for determining if bleed is applied. The proc chance only affects how long the bleed lasts

[edgy nexus]

I usually get stacks up to over 100 of bleed on bosses :p

[edgy nexus]

Nah, that's lame, I just wanna shoot stuff fast and kill better :)

[edgy nexus]

Trust me, those are really effective later in runs ;-;

[wispy crypt]

I can assure you they are not

Theyre somewhat alright at 1 or 2 stacks but once you see the actual stacking values youll see that it stacks TERRIBLY

Getting regular damage and procs is more consistent and stacks better

[edgy nexus]

I just needed to get rid of Elites, especially with how OP their damage scaling is ;-;

[edgy nexus]

Yeah, I figured that out the next run :p

[wispy crypt]

While their damage scales like crazy, their accuracy doesnt stack at all which is why learning how to dodge is an essential part of dealing with the game's rng

Youll get the hang of it eventually

[edgy nexus]

Who needs dodging when you can tank the hits with temporary shielding?

In all seriousness, I usually do dodge, I just forget to get movement items ;-;
