ror2-discussion

[sonic tangle]

you also can intercept block and melee enemies with melee units

enemies can attack and kill your guys

[mild cloak]

I cannot think of something without directly connecting it to an arknights enemy/tower/map mechanic

[tawny pilot]

master chief was on the soda they coulda left it at that but no they had to dumpster the games and flip a fuck you to the fans :(

[sonic tangle]

lmao

[queen heron]

enemies do... what enemies are supposed to do?

how is that a selling point

[mild cloak]

everything is arknights 💔

[mild cloak]

tower defense game

this is genuinely pretty uncommon for TD games

[sonic tangle]

yeah enemies usually attack and have abilities

[queen heron]

oh i don't play tower defence games

[mild cloak]

they usually just walk around with a bunch of health in other games

[sonic tangle]

tjis isnt just bloons where they have more hp and an immunity to sometjing

[tawny pilot]

So enemies march on a path and you can place towers to kill them as with any TD game, and you can also send units to slow them down I assume?

[queen heron]

i play games where i get to control my characters instead of staring at them do things.

[sonic tangle]

if arknights was just a dps check game i wouldnt be playing it

[terse ferry]

oh this reminds me mindustry is good

[sonic tangle]

you place towers

[tawny pilot]

It really is

[sonic tangle]

ground towers and high ground towers

its very simple

[queen heron]

i'd rather play umamusume

[tawny pilot]

so you place towers and that's it?

[queen heron]

than most gacha's

[mild cloak]

there's towers you can place on the paths that enemies walk and there's towers that you can place on ranges tiles

[sonic tangle]

thats the baseline

thats like saying ror2 is shooting enemies and tjats it

[mild cloak]

all towers have skills and passives and ranges and archetypes and subclasses and oh my god there's so much stufff

[queen heron]

(i mean it's not wrong)

[mild cloak]

there's 10 different types of healers.

[sonic tangle]

if you say rhat theyre gonna think the game is bloated

[mild cloak]

they all do different things but the baseline is healing

[tawny pilot]

why do you need 10 different types of healer?

[sonic tangle]

(it honestly is but it doesnt harm the gameplay it only harms the gacha element)

[queen heron]

gacha games are usually bloated tho tbh

[mild cloak]

it's subclasses

[sage python]

like idk who thought making master chief get with a prisoner of war was a good idea wtf

[sonic tangle]

you dont need to you just can

[sage python]

genuinely do they know the character at all

[sonic tangle]

its a bit hard to explain what makes arknights well designed without just telling you to play it

[queen heron]

the nature of gacha games is they become bloated because of course they need the funny unit and power creep to keep players wanting to grind and gamble for them.

[kindred idol]

If Risk of Rain: Hostile Worlds adapted all RoR2 characters which rarity would each one be

[sonic tangle]

correct

[queen heron]

why do you think i barely touch gacha games

[mild cloak]

the game has powercreep but it mostly doesn't affect gameplay

[terse ferry]

viend would be vreaky

[sonic tangle]

exactly

[tawny pilot]

didn't they say they never played the games prior to making the show

[sonic tangle]

i dont like gacha either

i play arknigjts solely for tower defense

[tawny pilot]

that's hard to believe

[sonic tangle]

because its damn good tower defense

[kindred idol]

iirc
Common
Uncommon
Epic
Legendary

[mild cloak]

all towers have a use

[sonic tangle]

its true

you are never forced to use rhe best towers and the best towers dont trivialise the game

[mild cloak]

your strategy matters more than how new your towers are

[sage python]

idfk, its a bad idea for a protaag to do that anyway

[mild cloak]

and they regularly add lower rarity towers too

[sonic tangle]

(arguably too often holy shit the game has too many 5*s)

[queen heron]

limbus is the exception because project moon makes the best gacha game by making a game shit at being one
and umamusume is good because the career's only really come down to your decision making so it's like whatever

[sage python]

hell yeah we love power imbalances !!! the general audience roars

/s

[queen heron]

the only 2 gacha's i need
get off me soyoverse

[sonic tangle]

bottom line arknights is a good game in spite of its gacha elements

[tawny pilot]

then why are the gacha elements there

[sonic tangle]

it regularly feels like a proper game

[mild cloak]

the best medic in the game was added like 4 or 5 years ago

[tawny pilot]

other than money

[sonic tangle]

money

[queen heron]

gambling addicts give the most green

[mild cloak]

and you get it for free if you're new now

[sonic tangle]

dude what were they cooking with +0.3 sp and enphelakifnjejnwn

[mild cloak]

ptilopsis is too fucking good

[mild cloak]

WHAT were they doing with nightingale and ptilopsis 😭 😭 😭

[tawny pilot]

i hate gacha games with a blazing passion

[sage python]

i crap on gacha games by principle

[sonic tangle]

yeah this is fair

[sonic tangle]

yeah this is fair

[queen heron]

gacha elements are either there so people grind hours a day for the resources
OR so people bypass that by being whales

[sonic tangle]

honestly i dont recommend arknights if you dont like gacha or td

if you like td then its absolutely worth a shot

[mild cloak]

arknights is the best gacha game imo

[sonic tangle]

i like how chain medic is just multi target medic but balanced

[queen heron]

As you should.

[sonic tangle]

its the only one ive played so idk but its good

[mild cloak]

and for some reason it's rated .4 stars lower than limbus

[sonic tangle]

mon3tr chaining priority is stupid sometimes thougj

[mild cloak]

WHY is limbus a 4.9/5 💔

[sonic tangle]

but ig thats anorher thing to add to your strategy of what order to place you guys down

[tawny pilot]

limbus is barely a gacha from what i understand

[queen heron]

gacha games took the worst elements of the modern gaming live service model, as well as the loot box aspects, and threw it together to make it even worse somehow and the entire game is built around that

[mild cloak]

I've been playing limbus for almost 3 years now and the game does not deserve that high of a rating

[tawny pilot]

literally

[mild cloak]

the gameplay is just not good or fun enough to justify it

[sonic tangle]

arknights is fine in terms of gacha

being f2p doesnt feel bad at all

i feel like im at no disadvantage at all

im not blinded by the pretty women because again this is the only gacha i will ever play

[tawny pilot]

you must remember
this is the project moon fandom you're talking about

[sage python]

dont the gacha elements bleed into the main gameplay

[mild cloak]

you can get like 300 pulls by the time a new limited banner drops

[sonic tangle]

not really

[queen heron]

if project moon fans can somehow sit through enjoying lobotomy corporation then they can enjoy basically ANYTHING

[sonic tangle]

well okay

[fickle idol]

3 days later I found another one on the exact same stage??

[sonic tangle]

if the game had 0 gacha i think it would literally be perfect

[tawny pilot]

inherently to some degree by being a gacha, i would argue yes

[sonic tangle]

the gacha absolutely pulls arknights down

[queen heron]

you could give a project moon fan a copy of Ghostbusters on the NES and they'd think it's the greatest NES game ever made

[sonic tangle]

if arknigjts wasnt a gacha game i couldnt recommend it more

[mild cloak]

the gacha system is... Outdated

[tawny pilot]

then they should remove the gacha aspects

[sage python]

being f2p gacha still means stuff like predatory events and game being centered around rolls

[mild cloak]

compared to most other games at least

[sonic tangle]

you genuinely cant just do that lol

[sage python]

still seems like a timesuck if nothing else

[sonic tangle]

yeah which is unfortunate

[tawny pilot]

but they won't and they'll continue to capitalize on gambling addicts

[queen heron]

gacha games give you the illusion you're progressing but you're actually just grinding for resources to get the power crept units so you can continue content you're stuck at

you waste more time in gacha games then you spend actually just having fun

[sonic tangle]

nah dont worry you can beat all the levels with free operators

[mild cloak]

that's thankfully not what happens in arknights

[sonic tangle]

4*s can beat every stage

[mild cloak]

you can beat every level using low rarity/free operators

[mild cloak]

4 stars are the equivalent of a hsr 3star fyi

[sonic tangle]

yeah

this games maximum is 6*

[tawny pilot]

that explains absolutely nothing

[sage python]

i mean i think the fundamental progression of gacha games suck by definition

[sonic tangle]

i agree

[queen heron]

i remember there was a Touhou gacha game i used to enjoy
but then they ruined it with just fueling the game with content bloat and characters with such 50/50 reception in terms of kits
it just became a chore to engage with

[sonic tangle]

gacha games are worsened bu the fact they are gachas

[sonic tangle]

always

[sage python]

doesnt matter whether you spend money or not, you are bound by constraints designed to either squeeze time or money

[warm basalt]

what ddo you think of think of the death note game

[mild cloak]

1star are April fool's units and robots, 2stars are only obtainable through recruitment (free), 3stars are given to you throughout the story and 4stars are also from recruitment

[sonic tangle]

conviction is 4*

[queen heron]

they objectively do suck by definition

[sonic tangle]

arknights is a good gacha game

actually no

[mild cloak]

5 and 6 stars are mostly from gacha but there's a bunch of free ones you get from just replaying old events

[sonic tangle]

arknights is a good game with gacha in it

[queen heron]

the only good gacha game is mvm because what you gain can actually be sold back for whatever value you wasted

[sonic tangle]

yeah i really like that they just let all the old content be replayed

[mild cloak]

lumen is so good for a free unit 😭

[sonic tangle]

you say everything above and now youre like 'mvm is profitable'

[mild cloak]

this guy hardcounters talulah

[sonic tangle]

shaking my head

[sonic tangle]

i like his outfit that makes his particles yellow so it looks like hes pissbending

[tawny pilot]

assuming you get both an item worth the effort and a team competent enough to get through

[sage python]

tf2 economy sucks

[molten hound]

only gcha game i played is forgotten land

[sage python]

i also think valve is very predatory

[sonic tangle]

holy based?

[sonic tangle]

yeah i think stuff like strange counters and killstreaks should be inherently free

but theyre paid and i cant do much about it

[mild cloak]

robin is such a good trapmaster 😭

[sage python]

cases are a blight

[sonic tangle]

star crossed world or nah

[mild cloak]

free tower has like 4 seconds of stun on her traps

[queen heron]

i figured my use of would have implied i wasn't being serious

[sonic tangle]

ok we get it arknights treats f2ps fairly

[molten hound]

i finished it fully and completely thought no new content would come out so i traded it in for miitopia

MIITOPIA IS STILL FUCKING PEAK

[sonic tangle]

[tawny pilot]

the concept of the lootbox should have stayed in the abyss

[mild cloak]

🏝️

[sage python]

i dont really like valve

[mild cloak]

wrong emoji

[sonic tangle]

ok im gonna shoot straight

[queen heron]

will admit mvm is the last gambling addiction to make you go in debt because it's the world's slowest slot machine

[sonic tangle]

if whales are funding high quality content in arknigjts that i can play for free i wont complain

[molten hound]

"leave that multi million company alone......"

[sonic tangle]

ok this is true

[queen heron]

it's a slot machine if you only got a pull at the leaver like every 40 minutes to an hour

[tawny pilot]

this is the ror2 discord there's a 50/50 chance whether you can or can't :3

[molten hound]

clover pit

[sonic tangle]

sometimes longer because everyone quits wave 2

[sage python]

like as much as i like valve's foss contributions, they are still scummy

[queen heron]

or queues are dead

[sonic tangle]

yeah but every company is kinda scummy

[queen heron]

companies are companies, shocker.

[molten hound]

i have been saying this

[sonic tangle]

ethical consumption aint real you cant find a corpo with 0 dirt on them

[tawny pilot]

As every company is nowadays

[sage python]

they have good customer support but god damn i hate the business model, and people treat steam like a golden goose

[molten hound]

no company, nice looking ceo or not, are kind hearted

[sonic tangle]

just make do with the ones that give you what you want

[molten hound]

isnt it "goose that layed the golden egg" or smth

[mild cloak]

epic games gives you free games and you don't have to do shit 😭

[sonic tangle]

in comparison to the competition i can honestly see why

[tawny pilot]

epic games fucking sucks

[molten hound]

fortnite fucking sucks when they made chapters every 2 months

what are we on? like 8 now?

[sonic tangle]

guys they added tung tung tung sahur into fortnite

[tawny pilot]

i refuse to touch fortnite anymore on principle

[molten hound]

was huge when we got to 2, crazy when we got to 3, and it just went too fast for 4

[sonic tangle]

fortnite is a phenomenon for sure

[tawny pilot]

i want to merge without looking

[molten hound]

the constant chapter changing is probably for the hype

[queen heron]

Like I get really sick of the cynical attitudes towards gaming, people are so quick to make these doomer videos and go on these super long rants about how triple a gaming sucks, because yes, we're aware companies are corporations and corporation's first. Nintendo sucks, Sony sucks, Microsoft sucks, Valve sucks a lot less, Epic sucks, etc. But the only argument is making the same complaints that have been made for literal years

[sage python]

the direction they took fortnite in upsets me

[sonic tangle]

these animals are so fucking funny it makes me wanna merge without looking

[sage python]

im a huge sucker for third person shooters and fortnite was genuinely sick

[mild cloak]

getting GTA 5, etg, sifu, kingdom come, barony and more for free

[molten hound]

im not taking my sneekers offf

[sonic tangle]

yeah i just dont care and consume whatever i find to be quality

[sage python]

the pacing feels so off now and bots are just unfun

[mild cloak]

never spending a penny on this company but at least I get hundreds of games for free

[tawny pilot]

i want to merge into a fucking concrete wall

[sonic tangle]

thats cool

[round horizon]

Can’t sleep bruh

[sonic tangle]

you cant list a single corporation without dirt on them so fuck it might as well just take what i need

[sage python]

they also swap out the guns way too often so thry never strike a good balance

[molten hound]

if they kept it stopped at the alien one, it would be great

[sonic tangle]

i still consume nestle products i dunno if that makes me a child of satan

[round horizon]

Fortnite is at its best with friends

[sonic tangle]

(game) is at its best with friends

[mild cloak]

all games are fun with friends

[sage python]

arc raiders has most of the aspects i enjoyed about fortnite so thats cool at least

[queen heron]

A lot of games I tend to play are on the older side, but I'm sick of seeing these videos pop up in my recommended that usually have pretty click bait titles, mainly referring to Nintendo. I don't watch them because yeah I get it, Nintendo's a corporation, Switch 2 gonna die actually because us self entitled manchildren aren't getting our beloved 3D Mario game, like holy fuck Nintendo fans are the worst

[sonic tangle]

except ror2 because lag

[tawny pilot]

if stolen, no
if bought (given cash to nestle), possibly?

[cloud topaz]

im still laughing about the “nintendo has forgotten about mario” video

[sonic tangle]

i enjoy watching sir musty watching nin10doland cry about no 3d mario too

cant beat that

[sonic tangle]

bought

[tawny pilot]

5 seconds no 3d mario

[sonic tangle]

super mario journey

[sage python]

third person shooter with decently long ttk, slow pacing, looting and actually threatening environmental hazards

[sonic tangle]

actually all of us are children of satan because we gave money to gearbox in buying this game and its dlcs

[cloud topaz]

i really hope they announce another 2d mario just to make nin10doland annoyed

[round horizon]

I can think of some games that aren’t fun with friends

[molten hound]

who the hell is doland

[queen heron]

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are on the switch, he just had a fucking movie release, and a new Mario Kart game last year
Guys Mario is Dying Nintendo Forgot Our BOY #bringhimback

[molten hound]

....planet....doland

[sonic tangle]

maybe the games where vibes are everything

and being isolated is the point

[sage python]

outer wilds mp is weird

[round horizon]

no it’s deadlock try telling your friend who’s going 3 12 to lock in

[sonic tangle]

nintendo has FORGOTTEN about

[sonic tangle]

lmao

[molten hound]

nintendo has FORGOTTEN about bison steak printer

[queen heron]

Meanwhile Metroid just had the game people had been waiting nearly a decade for and it has an NPC with redditor humour.

[round horizon]

Opening the scoreboard and knowing why you’re 12k behind

[sonic tangle]

[sonic tangle]

[queen heron]

Nintendo has forgotten about Star Fox.......

[sonic tangle]

[sage python]

risk of rain has forgotten commando

[molten hound]

nintendo has forgotten about multi pack bag of meanies for 2.50

[tawny pilot]

corporations are so funny they make me wanna persona 3

[sonic tangle]

nintendo has forgotten about kirby (nintendo doesnt dictate when hal laboratories makes a kirby game)

[queen heron]

||He has more screen time than Rosalina lol||

[livid idol]

starstorm has forgotten nemesis engineer

[sonic tangle]

genuinely ridiculous

[sage python]

TRUE

[molten hound]

stupid as hell 💔

[round horizon]

Is starstorm returns still getting progress

[sage python]

yeah

[sonic tangle]

gamefreak has FORGOTTEN about pokemon

[round horizon]

I won’t lie I downloaded the separate nemesis commando file and just fucked off

[queen heron]

That movie made me feel a combination between happy and upset they did my favourite Mario game so dirty

[round horizon]

Nemesis commando is so fun

[cloud topaz]

i forgot about that modpack that adds halo maps as stages i should use that to make ror2 x red vs blue

[sonic tangle]

i wanna do that too

[molten hound]

do you guys wanna see my ac ending perhaps

[sage python]

its kinda weird that neither nemmando special use his gun

[queen heron]

Gearbox has forgotten about Tar enemies...

[sonic tangle]

just grab the survivors and then not the rest of the mod

[molten hound]

i have forgotten.............................

[sage python]

granted that nemmando ror1 only had the gun for suppressive fire lol

well current ss1 nemmando

[sonic tangle]

shore

[round horizon]

Then do that

[sage python]

both specials are cool

[sonic tangle]

cant rn

[tawny pilot]

i'm gonna sleep now

[round horizon]

They gave nemesis commando a rocket launcher it’s awesome

[sage python]

i like all the survivors it adds

[tawny pilot]

or at least try

[sonic tangle]

did someone say rocket

[round horizon]

Idk if they still do but I remember that some of the guys working on starstorm returns hung out in the risk of rain returns channel

[sonic tangle]

Chanel's

[round horizon]

Fucking auto correct

[haughty crag]

[molten hound]

i have been theorising for days what the different tracks are gonna be used for

[molten hound]

FIGHT TO THE DEATH

[cloud topaz]

i think the newest one they have teased is the tenebrous quagmire theme

[molten hound]

giggity

[pure axle]

gearbox will add everything that isnt miner

[round horizon]

wrong

[molten hound]

right

[round horizon]

Miner will mine his way into the dlc

[cloud topaz]

i guarantee you first week of the dlc being out someone is gonna make a ytpmv of the stage theme using an insane amount of giggity’s

[livid idol]

I was listening to an art video while doing something else and have been flashbanged with ror2 music

i cant escape this game no matter what i do

[cloud topaz]

i cannot watch any youtube video after playing risk of rain and persona without being jumpscared

was rewatching the “beating every game of pokemon platinum” video and got jumpscared by a joke where he said phantina’s haunter was currently useless then flashed a png of the old knockback fin 😭

so many tf2 vids use ror2 music for some reason

[cloud topaz]

genuinely thought i hallucinated until i rewinded the video a few times cause i didnt remember that joke at all

i should find a downpatch version of launch seekers to see how stupid knockback fin actually was i started playing around christmas 2024 so i think i was barely spared from the launch seekers items

[pure axle]

the only person i can think of that uses ror2 music in his tf2 videos is htwo

[cloud topaz]

i could have sworn ive heard it in an uncle dane vid before

might have been his frontier justice vid

[pure axle]

i mean tf2 is one of those games that infiltrates itself into every community known to man

[sage python]

there are multiple

ive seen great blue around the community too, but his videos dont have bg music really

the chucklenuts are ror2 fans

i want great blue to make what if ror2 reskins had different stats

[pure axle]

maybe, i dont recall though, been ages since ive even watched one of his videos

[pure axle]

ror2 skins have always seemed like a strange case to me

[sonic tangle]

i think it was sky meadow while he was firing the air strike in his thousand uncles video

wait no sundered grove

idk how i remmeber

youre in the risk of rain discord server

[honest shuttle]

Hallowed Concepts looks cool.

I really like the Persona 3, Tartarus -looking stage 5? They teased in the reveal trailer.

[sage python]

its not a stage 5, theres a regular teleporter spotted on it

[sonic tangle]

hang on where have you seen him

all i know is he got addicted to ror2 because of his friends

[sage python]

idk probs yt comments

[sonic tangle]

and he played once for a death link video

[sage python]

maybe racecord idrk

[sonic tangle]

[sonic tangle]

i cant recall if he caused death a single time in it

[sonic tangle]

i think ive seen him in comments actually ueah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwoR6Mke8HE&pp=ygUcc2Vla2VycyBvZiB0aGUgc3Rvcm0gdHJpYWxlcg%3D%3D

yoo the new DLC trailer released, it's animated in a different style too it looks so cool

[dark remnant]

hi when did the alternative game modes get released i've never seen them in the main menu until a couple days ago.

[thin saddle]

try eclipse 8

[terse ferry]

years ago

[dark remnant]

huh i've had this game since 2022 never knew

[terse ferry]

boreclipse 8

[vital escarp]

what if u replaced it with a v

[honest shuttle]

I only saw like 15 seconds of it in the reveal trailer, but it’s cool that you’re that observant of it. I need glasses.

[thin saddle]

TRUE?

[honest shuttle]

Like I’m not sure if that’s another shark bird or a stingray shooting lasers when the camera starts panning upwards.

What is this?

[sour gorge]

how the hell

[dark remnant]

i genuinely don't know how

[honest shuttle]

I’ll go with my manta ray assumption because I struggle to look for quality information. I don’t got a clue as to how the internet works.

[dark remnant]

simulacrum is fun though

[honest shuttle]

I’m just figuring things out.

[sick folio]

Ehhhhhh

Its better than voidling but I heavily prefer base game

[tough blade]

Great gamemode, whats ur favourite character for it? I like engineer for simulacrum

[dark remnant]

right now i like huntress

[dense haven]

ig i deserve this for using artifact of command 😔

[dark remnant]

huntress is quite fun clears enemys quite fast lots of movement

[acoustic monolith]

click portal and be very fast with items

[dense haven]

i misclicked and didnt realise i had clicked the portal whilst trying to grab a different item so i missed about 50 😔

[sick folio]

Mm yes love having to hit a beetle 30 times with the slowest m1 in the game to kill it

Jokes aside huntress m1 might actually just be the worst m1 to exist

[uneven bloom]

's m1 is worse imo, huntress doesn't deal high damage but her m1 is the opposite of clunky

[sick folio]

Oh yeah fair I forgot about engi

2nd worst then

I could also kinda see the argument for false son's m1, but I wouldn't agree because it's not a bad ability its just overshadowed by the rest of his kit

At least with high growth

[thin saddle]

Best character oat?
Engineer's m1
Captain's secondary
Railgunner's utility
Chef's special
Heretic's passive

False son movement
Mercenary hp

Chef's special is pretty good actually but so is every special

Chef's special just the most useless in this context as you don't really got anything that can give frost or burn

[acoustic monolith]

6 printers and 4 lunar pools on 1 map wow

[verbal marlin]

rex alt special

[placid quail]

Engi’s primary may suck, but damn it’s satisfying

Those sound effects

[dim escarp]

Best as in most fun or most over powered?

[terse ferry]

merc has average hp and every survivor has the same movespeed btw

operator and huntress are the only survivors with below average hp at 90

[mild cloak]

captain movement speed would be lower

[terse ferry]

instava

[terse ferry]

[mild cloak]

[terse ferry]

are we /srs

[mild cloak]

I might have been /j

j...

like Jay....

I remember Jay

[golden linden]

are we jay or are we suhrus

[mild cloak]

he was such a nice young lad

unfortunate that the mods shot him twice

he didn't even see the second bullet coming

[dense haven]

is 99 just the levelling renderer limit? or do enemy levels actually cap at 99

[candid valve]

It caps at 94

[terse ferry]

that's for survivors

enemies cap at 99

[candid valve]

Ah i thought they meant survivors

Completely forgot about enemy levels

[dense haven]

or do enemy levels actually cap at 99
thanks though lol

[haughty crag]

what doesnt cap is director credits

[candid valve]

I cant read

[haughty crag]

meaning the game will keep throwing more dangerous enemies to you

to the point the only thing that spawns are malachite scavvies

[dense haven]

not a problem there :D

[candid valve]

You could get longstanding solitude to reach the cap easily tho

[dense haven]

i dont really have a build built for long runs atm 💀

[lone wraith]

longstanding solitude fans on their way to spend 20 minutes farming for one chest

[terse ferry]

final bosses specifically also scale based on time & level rather than just level

[dense haven]

😔

[dense haven]

oh no

The Commando is a playable character in Risk of Rain 2.

[candid valve]

And risk of rain (2013)

[candid valve]

And risk of rain returns

[candid burrow]

The v???oid fiend is a playable DLC character in risk of rain 2 added through the Survivors of the Void DLC

[terse ferry]

i looked at ben's raincoat and for a moment confused it with the fucking raincoat item rabbit and steel

would honestly probably be better than braincoat

[dense haven]

we love artifact of prestige

[candid valve]

More!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[candid burrow]

Honestly when the mountain tower gets that big it makes it super easy to find the TP

[dense haven]

fr
who needs easy teleporter finding mods when you have artifact of prestige!

[candid burrow]

Or the ever loyal Radar Equipment😼

[dense haven]

true

[golden linden]

who needs finding the tele easier mods when you got the umbrella settings

[dense haven]

hmm

[golden linden]

right there

[dense haven]

which drone am i missing 🤔

[atomic venture]

missile drone

[dense haven]

really?

[atomic venture]

lemme check

it should be missile drone

[dense haven]

nah cuz

[candid valve]

Freeze drone

[dense haven]

...

[candid valve]

Huh

[vapid dagger]

[candid valve]

Ohhh

[candid burrow]

Call me crazy but is that one of operator’s drones

[vapid dagger]

phone some friends

[dense haven]

oh does that have a drone thing

[candid valve]

Fuck forgot about those

[vapid dagger]

yes

[candid burrow]

Oh yeah strike drones

[vapid dagger]

strike drones are unique

theyre also insane now

[dense haven]

do they have an operator admin override btw?

[vapid dagger]

i believe they do

[dense haven]

might have to add it to my 5 different equipments

[candid valve]

I remember they do

[terse ferry]

wait what the fuck SDP RICOCHETS????
how did i not know this 😭

[dense haven]

huh

[vapid dagger]

i swear it only ricochets to only one other enemy but yeah

maybe that was part of the recent changes in the AC update

[fair knoll]

Deserved

Sdp wins the game if you even have a small amount of drones

[vapid dagger]

nope its always been 2 bounces

it does however have half as much damage now

[fair knoll]

Oh I thought you meant it was changed to 1

Yeah it’s been 2

[dense haven]

hmmm

[atomic venture]

sdp + empathy cores and you win

[mild cloak]

wtrong gif

I ruined hte surprise nvm

[dense haven]

rip

[mild cloak]

goodbyte

[atomic venture]

only one rain can be on risk of rain server

[dense haven]

but what if
theres a risk of rain
in this rain world

[candid valve]

Those who rain

[mild cloak]

risk of rain 2 but if you take longer than 5 minutes to clear a stage the rain starts getting stronger and stronger

7 minutes and you DIE!!

[golden linden]

whose who stack 4 debuffs U_DeathMark

[candid valve]

Im bringing an umbrella then

[atomic venture]

if there will be a risk of rain 3, what would it be about

😔

[golden linden]

risk

[dense haven]

yayyyy
now i js need to wait for dlc4

[dense haven]

rain

[candid valve]

🛩️

[thin saddle]

gulp

[atomic venture]

red plane sucks! i hate imps, kill them

[candid valve]

[golden linden]

yeah you should

[thin saddle]

chirp drone best green fr

[dense haven]

except for when i pick up the alpha constructs 😔

[atomic venture]

the best drone is probably cleanup drone since you can get a huge amount of gold in early stages

i love it since it can also eat mithrix

[candid valve]

Turn mithrix into a green orb

[thin saddle]

best as in you play it and die irl

[thin saddle]

really wtf holy mandela affect

[candid burrow]

“I’m corrupting it, I’m corrupting it so good”

[thin saddle]

tbh I rarely play merc but Wallahi I felt like some survivors are slower

[mental anchor]

Cleanup drones can actually do that
The only substantial difference from his normal death is that he's just gone instead of falling to his knees and disappearing

[candid burrow]

Yeah it’s crazy
I feel like Rex’s base sprint is slower than the other survivor’s base sprint but idk if it actually is

[thin saddle]

yo chill on rex alt special

[sage python]

its not

[thin saddle]

playing false son feels like a slog bro I swear

[mental anchor]

It's not but since rex is weirdly big it feels slower

[thin saddle]

oh makes sense

[sage python]

probs worth calling it standard hp, not average hp

[thin saddle]

insane mandela affect bro

[sage python]

since like half the cast is below average lol

[golden linden]

operator has peper skin and glass bones

[thin saddle]

grandrdaughter

[golden linden]

🌶️

[candid burrow]

Honestly there’s a lot of glass cannon characters in the game
Plus everyone can be one with the shaped glass

[dim escarp]

Fr istg the movement speeds feel so different

[sage python]

operator is the only one id maybe describe as a glass cannon personally

[golden linden]

I wouldn't even go there with him but it's close

[sage python]

yeah id still be apprehensive to describe him as such

[dense haven]

hmm :D

[atomic venture]

false daughter

[sage python]

closest to cutting it tho

[golden linden]

he got the glass but not much of the cannon

[dense haven]

yeah but the drones cover the cannon part

[golden linden]

more like a mounted machine gun

[thin saddle]

if UES had Whatsapp:

those who risk

wow

[atomic venture]

risking their rain

[candid valve]

Those who 2

[atomic venture]

bcs you have low amount of hp

[dense haven]

those who of

[sour gorge]

those who return

[thin saddle]

when I first bought risk of rain 2 the first thing that made me confused is the lack of rain

[dense haven]

yeah but i thought it at least a tiny bit scaled with difficulty 😔
Unless it does but like 1 health so yeah

[gentle copper]

it rains on commencement

[fresh scarab]

what if we made a shrine, but ASS!!!!

[sour gorge]

i agree wheres the rain >:(

[atomic venture]

well it says risk of rain, its not guaranteed

[thin saddle]

how does a moon have rain

[gentle copper]

idk man

[dense haven]

fr

[golden linden]

they got plants there

[dense haven]

clouds evaporate and then rain

[golden linden]

so it has an atmosphere

[candid burrow]

Shrine of the woods exists tho😼

[dense haven]

hmm science is a bit dodgy there but close enough

[golden linden]

you can figure out the rest

[candid burrow]

/j

[fresh scarab]

what if we made a shrine, but even MORE ASS!!!!!

[thin saddle]

fact: this game has a 80% to rain every stage start, but the community has all collectively been lucky since now

[thin saddle]

fair enough I guess

[dense haven]

when the artifact of sacrifice artifact of sacrifices too much

[thin saddle]

gravity might be too different though but whatever

[atomic venture]

a shrine which has a 50% you suddenly die, but if you dont die you get random item, and rarity get higher = more you use the shrine

[thin saddle]

it's a silly game about disrupting ecosystems

[candid burrow]

LET’S GO GAMBLING

Russian roulette edition

[thin saddle]

50% chance to die or get a white item ok man

[fresh scarab]

he just made some BULLSHIT!!!!

[sour gorge]

im risk of raining it

[atomic venture]

the task was to make ass shrine, i made mega hell

[candid burrow]

I’m risking it RAAAAAAAAAAH

[candid burrow]

Because of the illusion of free will.
Our brains are gonna make us wanna gamble even if we know it’s gonna be bad, because of benefits

[atomic venture]

imagine a teleporter, which lets you teleport on any stage you want (but not stages from alt paths & hidden realms)

but shit is so useless, why would you do this

[fresh scarab]

teleport to stage 5, clear the stage, and clear the moon before scaling even has a chance to do anything even remotely meaningful

[thin saddle]

do ylal think captain keeps the skull of the previous captain of the UES

[atomic venture]

its not invincible

[thin saddle]

yes it is

[candid burrow]

Grand Reagent Captain!?!?!?!!!!!?!!!

[atomic venture]

where do we even go after leaving the moon

[fresh scarab]

space

[atomic venture]

why is there even a ship on the moon

[fresh scarab]

it landed there

[atomic venture]

why is it protected by shield somehow

[fresh scarab]

some bullshit

[atomic venture]

😭

[thin saddle]

yall need to play rorr

[atomic venture]

i played it for 10 hours and then left

[terse ferry]

for fuck's sake 😭

[thin saddle]

buys risk of rain returns because you want to support the devs
play it for 10 hours
"yeah this game sucks"
uninstall it and never touch it again

[candid burrow]

Also, question, which wiki do y’all use: the fandom one or the gg one

[dense haven]

gg

fandom is outdated
and ad infested

[upper wing]

wiki.gg is actually updated

[thin saddle]

: I made a seared steak..

: A SEARED STEAK!?

[atomic venture]

i still have it downloaded, i just dont play it

[candid burrow]

Thx

[thin saddle]

bro the fandom is dogshit no offense to the editors but it's super outdated and has some wrong info but it ALWAYS APPEARS AS THE FIRST RESULT

[candid burrow]

I got the disc bundle of ror1 and ror2 but I haven’t played ror1 yet

[thin saddle]

ror1 is nice but doesn't age that well tbh

[candid burrow]

Had a feeling, thx!!

[dense haven]

yes
we must collectively use .gg so much it becomes first result when you search for rain on google

[atomic venture]

my university website starts with R, but i used ror2 gg wiki so much, ror2 wiki appears first instead of my university web 😭

[thin saddle]

why is he telling the truth?

[candid burrow]

From what I’ve heard RORR’s the remaster of it right?
Some bug fixes and such

[thin saddle]

I saw a guy play rorr in one of my classes one time but I don't know em and I don't see him anymore prolly cause he switched majors or smt

[dense haven]

smth like that

[sage python]

remake

not remaster

[dense haven]

hmm

[thin saddle]

how old is captain, likee mid 60s?

[candid burrow]

Not trying to be a jerk:
what is the difference between a remake and a remaster?

[sage python]

idk i think ror1 aged pretty well idk, its functional and and its not one of those games that breaks with high dpi mice or high refresh rates

[candid burrow]

Yeah I’d say, he’s retired so around 60’s

[atomic venture]

i am at astrophysics bachelor, and our teacher played battlefield 5 on his pc while we did exam

[sage python]

not tried it on a uhd monitor tho

[thin saddle]

remaster is you don't change much fundamentals and it's mostly a visual and bug fix thing

remake you keep the core but change some stuff about it

like new enemies and such

[candid burrow]

Ah, thx

[sage python]

remake is thrm remaking it largely from scratch

[atomic venture]

i wish rorr had more stages

[golden linden]

remake

[thin saddle]

remove that radio helmet and this mf appears 😭

[sage python]

its not new art, control schemes, survivors, enemies, items and balance updates

oh and they added alts too

[golden linden]

remaster

[atomic venture]

captain's shoe looks likes slippers

[thin saddle]

refrigeration

[terse ferry]

CALF TENT

I NEED YOU CALF TENT

[atomic venture]

some american refrigerator

[golden linden]

air conditioning

[thin saddle]

there's no re in the name you ruined the joke I'm gonna hit you with a big copper pipe now

[golden linden]

I elevated the joke into machinery

[atomic venture]

why do we kill ourselves near obelisk

[thin saddle]

"You were always so pathetic, UES pilot, Captain's little lap dog"

"It was an honor serving you sir.."

then the UES safe travels explodes

[thin saddle]

WHERE'S THE RE

[candid burrow]

Oh, so ROR1 is just sorta inferior in most ways technically?
Eh, I don’t mind

[atomic venture]

pilot exploded UES this whole time

[sage python]

remake

[candid burrow]

The way I think of them is how I used to compare skylanders when I was into those
The series 1’s are good, fine, servicable
But the series 2’s have that extra thing that makes them flat out better, ig

[sage python]

10 year late punchline due to bad internet lol

[candid burrow]

FOCUS, M

[thin saddle]

in HC they'll bring back the return of pilot but instead of a survivor it's a new special move for captain where pilot crashes the UES into Petrichor V and causes a huge nuclear explosion due to the nuclear core

[golden linden]

the better comparison is mario world into mario 64

if we are comparing ror1 to ror2

[candid burrow]

Oh I was comparing ror1 to RORR

[atomic venture]

tbh i think if HC will have a rorr character, then it will be HAN-D or Miner

[thin saddle]

I lowkey feel bad for Petrichor V the ROR2 crew is what is essentially 4 Sukunas at the same time

[atomic venture]

HC will have miner simply because
Miner is Green
N'Kuhana is Green
Put 1+1

[candid burrow]

I’m hoping miner tbh
(And I want all of them to be in the game, they can be changed so all the characters are different)

[thin saddle]

they don't even got providence anymore we're just causing a global disaster

[thin saddle]

HC WILL bring my step dad back

[golden linden]

miner is yellow

[candid burrow]

Even then with all that,
The creatures decimate us when we first play the game, and even on some of the harder difficulties

[atomic venture]

how the fuck is he yellow

[golden linden]

this is yellow

[dense haven]

bro i just went to get an ad removal for fandom because i felt like it
and the example is literally ror2 wiki 😭

either they stole all my cookies

[atomic venture]

fuckkk

[dense haven]

or its a sign

[sage python]

use riskofrain2.wiki.gg

[dense haven]

yeah ik
but like
im too lazy to scroll down when searching the ones that arent on first page of results

[sage python]

and get ublock origin (lite?)

[thin saddle]

if the gameplay bullshit is canon to ror2 that means with just a few cargos you can be essentially a demi-God

[sage python]

get indiewikibuddy

[thin saddle]

fandom sucks don't use it

[golden linden]

I went through this rodeo once

[potent marten]

simple solution just play the game blind

[thin saddle]

no this is me

[dense haven]

tbh i actually searched for extension to remove fandom from results
but this came up so i clicked it
js thought it was funny the example was ror2

[atomic venture]

i always thought miner is green

[thin saddle]

wrong reply 😡

[candid burrow]

Miner’s like a yellowish-green

[atomic venture]

vomit color

[tawny pilot]

they should add a puppy skin for acrid

[candid burrow]

Some bits of them are yellow, some bits of them are green i think

[candid burrow]

Fair, fair

[sage python]

2 extensions for ya

[tawny pilot]

cause good god is this little bugger bitey

also yeah i got a puppy

[candid burrow]

Which ror2 survive is comparable to miner gameplay wise?
Viend because of the bar mechanic for both?

[sage python]

proof?

[sage python]

only really merc imo

[tawny pilot]

One sec

[candid burrow]

Understandable

[atomic venture]

i never actually played miner, i played rorr for 10 hours and dipped

[candid burrow]

I haven’t played ror1 yet even though i have the disk

[thin saddle]

people is always talking about dogshit reds like nkuhana and orphaned core or insane op reds like networked and icbm but no one ever talks about lukewarm mediocre reds. I thik the biggest example of such a neutral red is ben's raincoat

[sage python]

bens raincoat sucks

[thin saddle]

I have never felt more 😐 than when I get ben's raincoat

[dense haven]

thanks so much bro

[thin saddle]

no it can be useful I feel like, but it's so eh

[steady vector]

I still dont even know what it does

[sage python]

ehhhh

[thin saddle]

remove debuffs

[sage python]

idk it never does anything for me

[thin saddle]

it can cause infinite bands

[dense haven]

hold on
it has one really good usecase
the new (i think alloyed collective) debuff that removes all your abilities
is really painful without it

[sage python]

id say lukewarm is

[thin saddle]

truee

[thin saddle]

DUDE WHAT?! BRAINSTALKS IN LUKEWARM?

[golden linden]

i scrap my brainstalks

[thin saddle]

nothing and I mean nothing in this game can compare to an insane brainstalks feedback loop

[steady vector]

Does this include being slow as fuck from that one lunar?

[thin saddle]

yall are sleeping doozing on this item

[dense haven]

artifact of honor + brainstalks 👍

[sage python]

i like brainstalks a lot

[thin saddle]

no like that's stat based

[golden linden]

no, I just don't care for it

[atomic venture]

you get more iq

[dense haven]

nah its negative status effects not bad stat effects iykwim

[thin saddle]

brainstalks I find conceptually is the highest scaling red

[golden linden]

elaborate

[sage python]

what does that even mean

[candid burrow]

I got myself this guy, it’s pretty cool 😼

[golden linden]

that's me

[thin saddle]

in like the third loop 1/3 of every enemy is elite

[sage python]

same

[thin saddle]

at some point it just causes a feedback loop

of infinite no cooldowns

[sage python]

oh i dont loop idk

[atomic venture]

why would main character choose to loop. are they that sadistic to go Ultrakill on whole Petrichor V?

[thin saddle]

the sole existence of brainstalks is the reason why I think wake of vultures should be reworked or just removed cause it's literally a worse red item

[golden linden]

that's not what a feedback loop is, I also don't loop

[thin saddle]

ah my bad then, also why don't yall loop the game just feels way too short without looping

[golden linden]

I got a job and life outside the puter

[atomic venture]

you can choose 2 alt paths in one loop and the run already feels like one and half hour

[dense haven]

what are the two non-scrap items im missing

[golden linden]

I can only afford 1 hour runs at best

[sage python]

i usually spend about 45 mins a run

[atomic venture]

pearls

[dense haven]

honor artifact!

[golden linden]

also there is nothing to build for looping

[dense haven]

ohhh ok

[golden linden]

I know everything will die

[atomic venture]

i love doing all bosses runs, so it takes 1 hour - 2 hours on them

[thin saddle]

maybe I'm doing it too fast idk

I always recha stage 5 like, idk around the 40 miunute mark?

[dense haven]

when picking up the items takes longer than the stage 😔

[steady vector]

I only loop if I dont want to fight mithrix

[atomic venture]

and you kill yourself on obelisk?

[sage python]

i hope hc adds some more difficulty to post loop

[steady vector]

Yeah

[tawny pilot]

Happy Chaos?

[sage python]

i usually find the difficulty peaking at around stage 3/4 and then tapering off again

[sage python]

wha

[thin saddle]

yeah but you gotta reach it

[tawny pilot]

what do you mean hc

[golden linden]

that's the thing, I know I'll reach it

[sage python]

hallowed concepts lol

[tawny pilot]

OHHH

[thin saddle]

like this is pretty cool

[sage python]

XD

[golden linden]

I just need to full loot, every game is loopable if I full loot

[thin saddle]

so what

[steady vector]

?

[atomic venture]

i have this feeling that HC will be time related something. Maybe time enemies

[thin saddle]

you know you'll reach conmmencement but you still play, do you not

[sage python]

i like challenge

[thin saddle]

it's about nkuhana doe

[golden linden]

I see no challenge in it

[tawny pilot]

how did we get the bitiest puppy on earth

[golden linden]

on 5 stages of loot I have the most variety of moon struggles

[atomic venture]

damn really?

[golden linden]

and that is fun for me

I have no struggle looping

so there is no fun there for me

[thin saddle]

oh that's whatr you mean, I downloaded infinite enemy levels tho

so it still feels like a pretty good challenge

[tawny pilot]

I think that shouldn't be a mod

[golden linden]

can't comment much on it then

[dense haven]

i just use prestige artifact 👍 :D

[thin saddle]

yeah

I quite dislike limited levels

[thin saddle]

you vanilla or console

[atomic venture]

i dont do any challenges like infinite enemy levels, the only difficulty spike i add sometimes is artifact of honor to e8 and thats it

[golden linden]

vanilla

[atomic venture]

enough for me

[tawny pilot]

like that should just be basegame

[golden linden]

I guess you meant pc

[steady vector]

Wait wdym vanilla or console lol

[sage python]

i really really want mid-run optional difficulty ups

[dense haven]

unmodded or unable to mod i suspect

[sour nest]

Ooof didn't think huntress would be this bad for solus wing.

[atomic venture]

not really

[golden linden]

ballista helps a lot but yeah you need some damage spreading

[thin saddle]

yeah ik what you8u mean, it should be a vanilla feature

[sour nest]

You gotta be face up to hit it, and her autotracking makes it hard to focus between the orbs and the solus.

[thin saddle]

vanilla as in choosing to not use mods or using console (which can't have mods ofc)

[atomic venture]

😵‍💫

just say pc or console

[thin saddle]

no but he refuses to use mods

[candid burrow]

I myself am on console…
But I wish I could play driver 😔

[thin saddle]

not refuse just say he doesn't

[golden linden]

I don't refuse to use mods?

[thin saddle]

Driver is fun but the diff ammo type passive is way too overtuned

[golden linden]

I read vanilla as just pc lol

[thin saddle]

Brah 😭

[sour nest]

I figure captain also does not do well against solus wing?

[golden linden]

he does fine

[atomic venture]

you can use diablo strike against it which is something?

[sour nest]

0 Movement is the main issue I see.

[golden linden]

you don't need that much movement, the ziprails are there

[sage python]

swing doesnt require much movespeed

[candid burrow]

Plus I feel like the supply drops wouldn’t be too useful in the final fight because of the constantly disappearing ground

[sage python]

also you always got a hoof worth even if you did

[golden linden]

a energy drink worth of movement is enough to run the laser

[sage python]

well, pretty much always

[atomic venture]

and if you get 1 spur it is enough

[candid burrow]

Wait are y’all talking about the actual robot boss or the wireframe boss

[atomic venture]

swing, solus wing

[golden linden]

solus wing, big round ball

[sage python]

one spur is much more movespeee than you need for the whole run lol

[candid burrow]

Gotcha, thanks, thought y’all were talking about Sheart, mb

[sage python]

solus heart is shart

[sour nest]

What boss would ya'll say is harder between Shart and void fiend?

[sage python]

void fiend is the survivor

[atomic venture]

everything great until you jump, but you panick, die to lasers and cry about it

[dense haven]

what grey item do i get now 😔

[sage python]

id say voidling harder by a lot

[terse ferry]

lingling

[sour nest]

Jeez I ain't played in a while lmao, anyway yeah voidling.

[candid burrow]

Shart
Voidling doesn’t really do much if you’re good, and the difficulty doesn’t really ramp up inbetween stages aside from the void aura

[atomic venture]

@terse ferry @sour nest

[candid burrow]

Also on the topic of Swing do y’all have the same glitch I have where the heat damage still persists even after you kill it

[sour nest]

I've only fought voidling once, mainly just because I have no real reason to do it any more times.

[candid burrow]

Fair, fair

[vital depot]

Who is jim and why are we killing him

[sage python]

solus heart doesnt do anything if you are good either, it has a set attack pattern with long telegraphs

[atomic venture]

mithrix's true son

[dense haven]

fr 😭

[candid burrow]

Autocorrect 😔

[terse ferry]

excuse to post this

[sage python]

voidling has homing missiles which can be problematic at low movespeed

[edgy trout]

I believe that's just part of the status effect. it's the same one that Grandparents apply and it also lingers around

[sour nest]

Funny thing but I got to voidling completely by accident. I just found a random ass portal in a run, went into it, got acrid unintentionally, continued and murdered voidling.

[candid burrow]

Peak honestly

please ADD NEW CONTENT TO THE SIMULACRUM, ADD NEW THINGS PLEASE

[golden linden]

I watched that video too, content is the least of it's problems

[gleaming flint]

IT HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
ADD SOMETHING SPECIAL TO IT.
ANYTHING

[candid burrow]

Legit I only hopped on it just to unlock Viend because I didn’t feel like fighting voidling

[gleaming flint]

Im barely halfway it

[haughty tundra]

is fs tp move that deal like all of ur hp when u have drone a bug or is it intended?

[gleaming flint]

also voidling is so ass

you can cheese it so easy

but i do respect it cause SotV is peak

[sour nest]

With bandit, what was better between burst and blast again? I think it was burst?

[candid burrow]

It was like 11:21 at night and I didn’t wanna trek all the way to the boss so I figured that simulacrum would be better

[candid burrow]

Whichever one bandit’s default is, the shotgun one

[atomic venture]

oh...
Blast or Burst, 1-2 month ago there was all abilities in game tierlist

blast is better as people said

[sage python]

depends on how you use it

[sour nest]

That'd be burst.

[sage python]

they are pretty evenly matched

[candid burrow]

Honestly I’m just going off what I hear from YouTube i find a use for every ability because I play drizzle exclusively

[sage python]

if you shoot enemies at range, id wager on blast being better

[thin saddle]

we love to make fun of mithrix but voidling is genuinely an ass boss like this isn't even slander

[sour nest]

So mainly a personal preference thing.

Got it.

[odd oracle]

just died as mercenary on monsoon, on matrix stage 4

[sage python]

yeah its playstyle dependant

[gleaming flint]

fellow drizzle enjoyer

[odd oracle]

it feels like a kick to my balls

how do you guys do merc mithrix stage 4?

[atomic venture]

huh

[odd oracle]

holy shit, i shredded him until that point and then i got too greedy i guess

[odd oracle]

mercenary, mithrix stage 4

[atomic venture]

oh you mean phase

[odd oracle]

yeah yeah my bad

feels horrible

[atomic venture]

for that i usually try to get some ranged equipment OR get up close and dash through him and run in circles (on melee survivor)

[candid burrow]

REAL!!!!!!!!
I be playing drizzle so I can do what I desire and have fun

[odd oracle]

ooof, man does that feel so bad, to get so far and just get killed due to greed lo

[gleaming flint]

Fr, i love looping to get super strong and kill anything i see
you can take your time, because you always end up stronger than your enemies

[atomic venture]

okay i ll go, university tasks wont finish themselves

[candid burrow]

Aww damn, RIP the goat

[odd oracle]

78 mins wasted lol

[candid burrow]

Unfortunately real 😔

[candid burrow]

Always sucks dying on an hour-long run, I feel ur pain

[odd oracle]

yeah, guess i gotta do another run lol, also merc single dash with exposed or triple dash?

[gleaming flint]

120 minutes wasted on a opperator run trying to beat solus wing

i get it

[odd oracle]

loool

i really want the merc mastery skin

[gleaming flint]

that DAMN heat wave

[sage python]

preference again lol

merc is pretty balanced between all his skills

[golden linden]

mithrix always has downtime between shooting his spikes

[odd oracle]

so i just be patient and dash through when he doesn't shoot?

[sage python]

id say whirlwind is better than rising thunder, but theres not tons in it

whirlwind is just slightly more versatile

[odd oracle]

yeah i also prefer whirlwind to rising thunder

the great trimping

or whatever its called

[sage python]

🙂‍↕️

[candid burrow]

I personally go for single dash

[candid burrow]

I hate that attack
I don’t even know where to go
And even if you DO kill the boss there’s a chance that you just straight up die after because the heat lingers

[odd oracle]

any other tips?

[fresh scarab]

have you already been told about Expose and Expose tech

[odd oracle]

yeah, but i have literally never ever been able to pull it off, so yeah

[candid burrow]

For Merc specifically?
Eh, idk, make sure your 3rd sword swing always hits so you can mark the enemies for death.
I don’t really play merc

[gleaming flint]

The boss is LITERALLY SHOOTING A LASER BEAM THAT REMOVES 40% IN 3 SECONDS, AND YOU STILL WANT ME TO RUN TOWARDS THE HEAT MACHINE AND KILL IT? I DONT HAVE TIME!!

[dense haven]

merc js get 0cd ability 3 trust

[spare kettle]

yes

[sage python]

swing is good but some stuff is poorly communicated imo

still a great boss tho

[gleaming flint]

Nerf the heat wave

[fresh scarab]

you don’t necessarily need to kill the heat vents

[candid burrow]

Yeah, the boss is fun and I like robots in general so I’m biased but idk what the difference between the heat vents and the cooling vents are

Or where they even spawn

[fresh scarab]

you can just keep rotating between coolant vents

and break those instead

[gleaming flint]

but you'd still be out in the heat taking ticks of damage

[odd oracle]

how to consistently pull of expose tech? someone pls help

i cant even get it right in drizzle lol

[fresh scarab]

overheat takes a decent amount of time to start doing truly devastating damage, so as long as you stay on the move it shouldn’t be an issue

[sage python]

i still forget im ngl

[fresh scarab]

the bigger problem would be if/when the laser grid screws with your pathing while doing so

[sour nest]

The heatwave is fine imo, the biggest "BS" part of the boss in my book would be the laser grid.

[thin saddle]

Mithrix is not built for melee survivors and it shows hard

[fresh scarab]

easiest way to tell the difference is that the coolant vents ALWAYS have a spherical zone around them that you don’t take overheat in

[dense haven]

machine gun operator

[candid burrow]

None of the bosses are IMO

[fresh scarab]

they’re very easy to see

[tawdry hornet]

idk why everyone has a problem with the laser grid i always end up accidentally dodging it

[thin saddle]

There was a time where mithrix could get tesla coil and it would just be softlock hell

[sour nest]

Good thing that most melee survivors are outright busted to compensate.

[fresh scarab]

if you break all the coolant vents (which doesn’t remove the coolant zones, keeping you safe from overheat), Wing will start overheating

[tawny pilot]

sounds about right

[odd oracle]

anyone?

[fresh scarab]

leading to it eventually dying

[thin saddle]

Average merc loop vs false son:

[tawny pilot]

you can also perform extreme ultraviolence to the wing

[candid burrow]

I don’t even know what the expose tech is
Ig just try and find a YouTube guide

[fresh scarab]

when the animation of your third slash begins, use either your secondary or utility, and those abilities will apply expose

[thin saddle]

Merc 😭

[sour nest]

Merc is one of the dead outliars lmfao.

[fresh scarab]

one second, I’ll get a video of it

[odd oracle]

well i did that, but im not able to pull it off, like i know how it works

[odd oracle]

i've been trying for quite sometime lol

[thin saddle]
