[molten hound]

eulogy

[quick plume]

The key that does nothing cause theres no downsides

[tropic glacier]

That's it

[cloud topaz]

i just got here 😭

[cedar coral]

longstanding

[plush condor]

Best lunar item because it isnt like active punishment like the rest, only when you use a shrine and is useful sometimes. Second beads of fealty if im using the same scaling but its useless unless you going to a moment whole

[cedar coral]

lol

[blissful torrent]

objectively? probably transcendence or longstanding solitude

design-wise there are only like two that are actually a balanced upside/downside and achieve what lunars are trying to do so imma say corpsebloom

[tropic glacier]

Bug seeker 🤤

[cedar coral]

I dont understand the downside of corpsebloom

[molten hound]

eulogy gives you things like or

[plush condor]

annoying sometimes i assume

[tropic glacier]

My friend found out the launch of seekers if the storm and renamed all dlc

[tropic glacier]

Survivors of the lag

[quick plume]

Beads of fealty

[plush condor]

yeah but i couldve gotten a crowbar outta that small chest...

[tropic glacier]

Seekers of the bugs

[coarse merlin]

[tropic glacier]

Alloyed crashing

[tropic glacier]

Hallowed errors

[cloud topaz]

funniest eulogy thing is blue printers being possible

[blissful torrent]

not being able to heal more than 10% of your max health every second is a pretty huge downside to have on a healing item, especially when you need to heal back up to at minimum 91% hp to prevent yourself from being one-shot

[molten hound]

but whatif you find a cleansing pool

[tropic glacier]

Brb

[plush condor]

resisting the urge to print 4 beads of fealty for no reason

[tropic glacier]

Have to steal an image

[plush condor]

My crowbar...☹️

[quick plume]

Youll be clean

[molten hound]

10 percent all stats

[plush condor]

B-but...

[sage python]

my favs are and maybe

[molten hound]

fun fact, if you have eulogy, you can actually get lunars from a cleansing pool

[sage python]

thats really funny lol

[plush condor]

heretics primary whtf its named __of heresy really depends i usually avoid it

[blissful torrent]

visions

[plush condor]

if i Really want to replace my skills i would replace my utility or special in some cases

[cloud topaz]

if u had 20 eulogy’s would it just keep printing new blue items forever

[blissful torrent]

i just never take lunars any more but tbh my favourite heresy item is prob hooks, i love the skill it adds

[molten hound]

well you probably wont get eulogy for every single pearl drop, meaning eventually you will run out

[plush condor]

i usually take shaped glass or focused convergence because they whisper in my ear often and sometimes i dare to listen (and die with -2 health the next stage)

[fresh idol]

same

i just take like Brittle Crown when i remember

i should stop doing that tho this item is very op

[molten hound]

if you like the item why restrict yourself

[cloud topaz]

brittle crown fuses perfectly with eclipse imo

[fresh idol]

🤔

[cloud topaz]

lets u loot way faster while punishing u lot for even taking a small amount of unnecessary damage

[fresh idol]

the faster money is like incredibly fun but the effect is veeeery strong

[blissful torrent]

i find a few lunars fun but they're all either broken as hell or insanely weak so i just avoid them

[cloud topaz]

i have not picked up the alloyed collective lunar since the dlc launched i outta go on simularcrum or smth and try it

[terse ferry]

yeah brittle crown is like the one item that reminds you "yeah time matters actually go crazy"

enemies feel like they're made of paper on stages 3-5 on a fast run

[fresh idol]

yeah

[cloud topaz]

most of the time i play railgunner i accidentally end up doing a bleed build and becoming autoaim commando

i use the m1 shooting down thing for everything on her lol

[candid ridge]

fuck

[fresh idol]

it's bc shooting fast is the way how this game was meant to be played

if you get enough items then holding m1 is better

remember that bands were a proc item once

[gentle copper]

kittens and puppies

[candid ridge]

I mean

they kinda still are

[fresh idol]

they were an item like ATG

[candid ridge]

they proc a giant fuckoff flame tornado

[fresh idol]

but had no proc coef iirc

[spare kettle]

now we're talkin'

[fresh idol]

FIFTY SEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

[candid ridge]

yes! goat hoof and chance doll🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[spare kettle]

playin as operator so left the hoof and took chance doll and thorn

[gentle copper]

collectors compulsion fans punching their desks rn

[cloud topaz]

i find it funny that sonorous whispers is a fusion of 2 ror1 things

56 leaf clover and boss enemies dropping items directly on themselves upon death

[candid ridge]

what is the worst base game red

other than scrap ofc

[cloud topaz]

aegis i believe

[candid ridge]

ehhhhh

if u get desk plant

but thats not very likely

unless youre running comman or benthic bloom

[vale steeple]

hiya

[cedar coral]

desk plant is nice wym

[gentle copper]

bencoat

[cedar coral]

worst base game red is definitely happiest mask

[gentle copper]

oh base game

[cedar coral]

has some niche uses like for false son

[cloud topaz]

oh yeah i forgot it killed me the other day 😭

[cedar coral]

void implosion?

[cloud topaz]

i think it copied a clay dunestrider and started damaging me

[gentle copper]

by that metric happiest mask has some niche use if youre stacking bungus

[cedar coral]

oh 😭😭

[cedar coral]

do your ghosts get your items

[gentle copper]

no but you get to be a portable healing booth for them

[cedar coral]

ehh

stacking fungus isnt really viable at all if youre not using engi, in a game like this you dont want to be staying still

I have learned that lesson the hard way multiple times

[gentle copper]

skill issue

[cedar coral]

maybe

but still

[vapid tapir]

Desk plant has use compared to aegis which is more useless than red scrap

[cloud topaz]

had god run on seeker earlier die stage 5 cause i got caught lacking using a scrapper for 2 seconds 😭

[cedar coral]

aegis still has very VERY minimal use outside of eclipse, happiest mask is the worst

[gentle copper]

ye of little Tranquility stacks

[sacred elk]

fun facteds

male deep sea anglerfish are actually small parsites that stick to the undersides of the females and provide sperm

[vapid tapir]

Happiest mask can draw aggro
Aegis does fucking nothing

[golden linden]

big squid

[cedar coral]

😭😭 get yo tranq up not yo mank up son 😭😭😭 boiiiii

[cloud topaz]

worst part was i had max tranqulity but i was running all alt skills so i didnt get the revive lmao

[gentle copper]

don't they literally fuse to the female

[cedar coral]

you know what fair point

[sacred elk]

yeah

[cedar coral]

alt special doesnt revive at max tranq?

[sacred elk]

nature is very funny

[cloud topaz]

idk why meditate is easier to get max stack with but thats the one that gives u an extra life lmao

[cedar coral]

gearbox was on some hard drugs when they released sots

[cloud topaz]

gearbox made sots

[cedar coral]

yeah uh thats what I said

see

[fresh idol]

XD

[cedar coral]

I thought gearbox was the publisher and hopoo was the developer

by that logic wouldnt hopoo be working on the dlcs and not gearbox

[sage python]

they were up until sots

[errant marsh]

"Let's make the 2 strongest survivors ror2 has ever and will ever see"

[sage python]

gearbox made sots and helped with sotv

[cloud topaz]

the base game and sotv were hopoo since then its been gearbox making the dlcs and updates

[ruby vale]

that would be the ideal world

[cedar coral]

and then theres chef

[sage python]

prior to that it was all hopoo

[errant marsh]

"Also fuck up the physics"

[sage python]

except for the out of house console ports

[cedar coral]

...why

[worldly haven]

great mistake, millions lost

[cedar coral]

hopoo INVENTED the fucking franchise

[worldly haven]

i forgot to set the coffee brewer

[cloud topaz]

hopoo is on hiatus now cause 2 of the original devs are at valve working on deadlock

[cedar coral]

why would they hand it over to some corporate dogs

[errant marsh]

Weakest sots survivor and he's still broken

[ruby vale]

to be fair hopoo was offered big money

[sage python]

because hopoo sold it and left

[cedar coral]

fuawk

[gentle copper]

deadlock :(

[old python]

Money.

[worldly haven]

and then disbanded

[sage python]

money and cause they had no intention of updating the game

[sacred elk]

deadlocking it

[fresh idol]

Midlock

[cedar coral]

yk what

[sage python]

kinda

[sacred elk]

me when i lie

[cedar coral]

fair enough, id prefer more dlcs with less quality than no dlcs at all

[cloud topaz]

wasn’t paul back on the team for alloyed collective

[sage python]

they trusted gearbox cause of the help they gave with sotv iirc

[cedar coral]

but you can really see the gearbox bleeding through the SECOND sots releases

sotv was optimised almost no bugs and then theres sots

[sage python]

they did all of/most of the sotv maps and some enemies

(which imo are the best parts)

[cedar coral]

the enemies are definitely the best parts

[old python]

Some stuff going around about them making a ror2 ish pve mode there.. waiting for confirmation on that.

[cedar coral]

the void terrifies me as a concept lore wise and in game

[sage python]

hopoo made voidling tho

[errant marsh]

Ew

Don't mention that thing

[cedar coral]

alright so maaaaaybe they should've handed it over to gearbox for that one

[sage python]

i think apothecaries and jailor were gearbox ???

[gentle copper]

i could beat the void in a fistfight

[cedar coral]

but voidling doesnt exists so we're good

[sage python]

i dont have a source for this

[gentle copper]

don't play wit me

[cedar coral]

apothecaries?

[sage python]

the clay guys

[cedar coral]

oh the little guys who splash tar?

[sage python]

wouldnt call em little

byeah they do that

[cedar coral]

ah they're little guys wdym

[fresh idol]

i want Tar DLC

[ruby vale]

i would keep it as a pet

[cedar coral]

SAME. SAME. SAME.

[cedar coral]

I love fighting these things they feel like a miniboss its so fun

[worldly haven]

smol

[cedar coral]

this guy gets it

theyre just little guys

[vital depot]

If the Tar DLC does happen should the Tar enemies be attacked by other enemies similarly to how they treat the Void

[worldly haven]

it's 12 am

do regular enemies attack clay dunestriders

[cedar coral]

isnt the tar like the strongest faction besides the void

[vital depot]

no, but they could if that was changed

[cedar coral]

i swear the tar took over everything in the lore

[vital depot]

Clay dunestriders attack everything else

[cedar coral]

they do?

[vital depot]

The suck

[old python]

Yeah in the tar's home world or something.

[cedar coral]

the suck

[sage python]

idk its hard to say

[old python]

When they sit and siphon health from shit around them.

[cedar coral]

oh yeahhhhhhhhh

I thought you just misspelled they suck

[sage python]

id say the ues is more powerful than the tar tho

[cedar coral]

nah I meant petrichor v

[worldly haven]

i hate when the dunestriders start slurping

[sage python]

its very hard to powers scale though, cause tar is limited by location more than anything

[old python]

Sucking.

[lusty mist]

I am Harvester's Scythe

[worldly haven]

yea, slurping

[cedar coral]

I always try and kill them before that because when they do my fun levels plummet

[sage python]

imps are also pretty strong, but not so much on pv

[cedar coral]

good point

[old python]

I do think they're the second strongest shit.. we just don't get the chance to see em in their full might.. tho I really want a tar based dlc.. or a half tar half red plane so they hit two birds with one stone.

[lusty mist]

[cedar coral]

I am a question

[sage python]

duting the time of providence, lems seem to be thriving and tar doing alright

[old python]

Sucking.

They suck you.

[sage python]

in ror2 the tar is growing in strength and lemurians are not doing as hot

[worldly haven]

that's what i said, slurping

[old python]

@worldly haven why is your name blind engineer and not blind bandit.

[old python]

Sucking.

[worldly haven]

i became an engineer main

[cedar coral]

ah

[old python]

No role change?

[sage python]

the tar are severely limitited by their ability to overconsume their diet

they almost went extinct because they ate everything they could prior

[worldly haven]

bandit is still my favorite character

[sage python]

they are destructive but not too longevid

[old python]

Mm yeah that's a good summary.

[worldly haven]

what can i say other than his design is fucking awesome

[sage python]

even though they were restricted during providence's life, they were better set up for success

[old python]

I HATE the blue hat and the brown coat.

[worldly haven]

visual skill issue

[gentle copper]

the blue hat hates you too

[sage python]

idk whether this makes them more powerful or not, could argue either way

[old python]

Part of the reason I haven't gotten the monsoon win on him.

[gentle copper]

the coat could care less though, i think

[worldly haven]

get new eyes that enjoy good things

[old python]

No need.

[old python]

Eh? They also had cleansing pools.

[worldly haven]

so basically dunestriders suffered the same issue as sharks

sharks had to downsize so they wouldn't eat all their prey

[clear ferry]

What are you talking about

Seriously do not get on my nerves

[worldly haven]

there's a werewolf in chat

[clear ferry]

What.. where

[fresh idol]

miska muska mickey mouse

[clear ferry]

Im hiding

[worldly haven]

ok chat, hear me out

dlc where n'kuhana is a central character and the brothers are resurrected as minibosses

[fresh idol]

i want Ifrit back

and his ror1 version not Returns

[clear ferry]

The brothers?

[worldly haven]

providence and mithrix

[clear ferry]

Oh, i thought you were talking about someone else

[molten hound]

is there any real difference aside from sprites?

[fresh idol]

just the sprites i think

i prefer ror1 version

[fresh idol]

sharks are chill i love sharks

[clear ferry]

I hate to tell you this but if they brought ifrit to risk of rain too neither version would be used

[worldly haven]

ye

[fresh idol]

anual reminder that sharks are incredibly chill and do not hunt humans

[clear ferry]

Because theyd need to remake it for the smellovision

[fresh idol]

true

[worldly haven]

they did almost overhunt their prey to extinction though, which is why there aren't that many big species

shark evolution is basically just the tomodachi life mii height slider

[fresh idol]

nature did their job and evolved sharks to not absolutely clear everything bc yeah or else everything would die
but besides that, sharks are incredibly chill with humans

[worldly haven]

ye

time to brew coffee

if i manage to get up, old lady's back ain't what it used to

coffee is brewing

[fresh idol]

nice

[worldly haven]

i should do a heretic run

i want more items that change your skills

[sage python]

very strange stage 1

[worldly haven]

trying to figure out the strange part

are there hints in this guessing game

[random island]

Who is nkuhana in lore

[fresh idol]

the one who made this item

[worldly haven]

my best guess is the female visitor

[fresh idol]

and this one too i think

she has a big cult around her

[sage python]

this was full loot

2 items from interactables

5 gunner turrets

[fresh idol]

seven drones. seven drones is all i can spare to give to you

[worldly haven]

i've ended up only finding 1 loot before

[sage python]

including teleporter

also one of them being knurl and one of them being wov is also a little funky

[random island]

Dang that's insane
This is my record least item stage 1

[worldly haven]

i headcanon that acrid tastes like dr pepper

[errant marsh]

Grape faygo

Viend should be immune to fall damage after using trespass

Until he hits the ground

Annoying as hell

My stick drift is so bad I can't play meditate seeker anymore 💔

[plush condor]

most plountiful stage 1 in the history of stage 1s

[random island]

The steak printer saves it

[plush condor]

If only it was a bungus printer ..

[vapid dagger]

im about to make substandard duplicator look like an S tier item

[keen robin]

Has artifact of swarm always spawned 2 solus wings

Or am I tweaking

[fresh idol]

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[vapid dagger]

substandard duplicator with temp atg dispenser

SPEED

AND I GOT A REAL ONE

[turbid escarp]

looking at this mod and drooling like a dog staring at its food bowl

[split star]

anyone know where i can find good risk of rain merch?

[turbid escarp]

etsy and gearbox store are your best places i think

theres also some collabs with youtooz iirc

[split star]

😔

[split star]

okay

[sage python]

this has been a real fun run so far

i wish the bhaos was a shustice or something, but oh well

[worldly haven]

big flex, i got my spider mines from false son

[errant marsh]

Bro died

[vapid dagger]

substandard duplicator

[pine atlas]

We love these runs

AND we're getting closer 🙏

[molten hound]

what is up my SLIMES

[sage python]

really fun run

[void spear]

anyone have some tips for final phase mithrix

[livid idol]

Peakmando

[golden linden]

running in a circle will make so the spikes can never hit you

save charges of damage equipment to blast him as soon as he can be damaged

[void spear]

ah thats smart

[golden linden]

plus on the running in circles thing, you'll notice that he has periods of not shooting you

that's when you can shoot him back

[blissful torrent]

if you have items like safer spaces or oddly-shaped opal try to pop them using weaker attacks so your big hits aren't wasted

[golden linden]

run in circles a bit to figure out the frequency of his shooting and you'll be fine

[coarse merlin]

I want Hollowed Concepts to add a witch character with Shakespeare quotes as the names of all their abilities

-# Double double toil and trouble fire burn and cauldron bubble

[golden linden]

the only real danger item for him is kinectic dampener, which can be countered by just not being close to him until you get it back

[void spear]

i knew about these so i tried to hide behind a wall until he stopped shooting instead of circle running cause i thought itd be safer, but he hit me behind the wall anyways

[golden linden]

yeah the spikes have ever so weak tracking

[void spear]

do they explode too?

[golden linden]

so they can make some nasty curves if you're pod shotting

[void spear]

wait so its not weak?

[golden linden]

no, they'll explode if you have behemoth

[blissful torrent]

bringing allies like drones can be a big help (unless you have networked suffering, in which case he can stack it up on enemies and then hit you once and deal massive damage with the detonation), though in the case of the drones you might have to pay for them again during the phase transition if they die to pizza

[golden linden]

which is only a problem if you actually get hit

[void spear]

i didnt have behemoth i just know i was comfortably behind a wall and got killed in like 3 seconds

[golden linden]

yeah without a clip it's hard to pinpoint

[coarse merlin]

Run in circle

Also bring a beefy equipment like or

[golden linden]

but the matter of fact is that the needles are very easy to dodge

[blissful torrent]

are you playing any specific survivor?

[coarse merlin]

Trying to hide behind something is risking one of your own items mystically clobbering you

[blissful torrent]

or just whoever you're in the mood for

[void spear]

just the mood tbh

[void spear]

this is probably what happened tbh

risking dying like that'll probably convince me to not do it again tbh

[sonic tangle]

i usually hide from mithrix behind a wall

[languid crystal]

can someone tell me the purpose of eulogy zero

[sonic tangle]

funny

[languid crystal]

other than js pearl farming? am i missing something

[molten hound]

cheap lunars

also yea pearl farming

it would be really cool if we got a character with like a steed or vehicle

like a jousting guy who got more damage the more speed he had

[sonic tangle]

a dude on a skateboard

[livid idol]

I've died more than once because I was playing melee and forgot I had it, fuck kinetic dampener on mithrix

[blissful torrent]

you get more lunars

[blissful torrent]

needs blacklisting i think

[steady vector]

How long has it been

[humble shale]

man

[sonic tangle]

man

[golden linden]

one I have died to many a time was noxious thorn

but only on multiplayer

[frigid sleet]

bandit e2 done

[quasi lance]

Chat i need feedback on this bloom tweak concept

Benthic Bloom

At the start of each stage, convert 3 (+1 per stack) stacks of items into a random stack of items of the next rarity. Red items turn into a random stack of white items and get 1 extra stack of that item.

Corrupts all 57 Leaf Clovers

||Ex: 2x -> 3x||

[sacred elk]

subnautica 2 more like

peak

if only my application didnt hang itself

[quasi lance]

Good luck on your climb, i still got half the cast to do since starting Eclipse again

[blissful torrent]

i feel like this undermines the benthic power fantasy of 5 million reds tbh

[sacred elk]

yeah but then i dont have 8 billion reds and then whats the point of life anymore

[sonic tangle]

i think the best way to buff benthic is to buff red stacking

[quasi lance]

Need to have the megamind "no bitches?" Image turned into "no whites?" With a picture of bloom

[sonic tangle]

just buff the rest of the items and benthic bloom gets better

[quasi lance]

Reds just do not stack well

[errant marsh]

I don't really get why they can't

[sonic tangle]

yeah so buff those

[quasi lance]

I think growth nectar should be a good stacking red because it was at one point

[sonic tangle]

it stacks ok

[errant marsh]

It was an overpowered stacking red

[sonic tangle]

you could make it stack quadratically

so past a certain point itl still stack linearly without being useless

[sonic tangle]

this only happens late into a run anyway

[quasi lance]

It had an upper limit, and i dont mean to sots release level because christ

[sonic tangle]

when you get so many benthic blooms you cant keep up how many whites you have

[quasi lance]

Benthic scales exponentionally if you get unlucky (or lucky) and get a clover

[placid quail]

Benthic bloom if reds stacked decently

[sonic tangle]

in a standard 5 stage plus commencement run its not that bad

[placid quail]

Behemoth stacks in the most depressing way imaginable

[quasi lance]

Yeah thats why i almost always pick up bloom past stage 3 and sometimes stage 1-2

[quasi lance]

Have you ever had 60 behemoths? It blinds you

Its scary

[errant marsh]

I kinda want 7% per buff grectar back

[placid quail]

Is it as scary as a job application though

[errant marsh]

(It's already really strong though)

[quasi lance]

Im a risk of rain fan, i dont have a job /j

[errant marsh]

I love OP items

[placid quail]

Back in my day, nectar “marked you for greatness” if you could sustain 5 buffs simultaneously

[quasi lance]

I dont find it to be too strong, at most one stack is a 16% all stats buff, which is good but not great like some other reds

I liked old nectar but it was a lot harder to get up

[placid quail]

Deathn’t Mark

[errant marsh]

Grectar is a great item

[steady vector]

Huh

[quasi lance]

Ok but usually youre getting 1-3 reds in an average run and grectar is good but not great much (except false son i love him)

[vapid dagger]

why not
its funny

[errant marsh]

I feel like grectar provides a lot of value that isn't as noticeable as it is good

[quasi lance]

I feel like meathooks, shustice, icbm, and tesla should be the power level most reds sit at

Great, and synergize very well with other items

[sonic tangle]

im super mixed on tesla coil

[quasi lance]

I love tesla

[sonic tangle]

it feels like a spare drone parts that scales with items

[placid quail]

We have tesla coil but where is the Edison coil

[sonic tangle]

as in it plays the game for you

[vapid dagger]

i forgot best buddy also gets to place war banners

[blissful torrent]

disagree with icbm tbh, the fact you can get a red that does nothing on its own is something i majorly disagree with

[sonic tangle]

yeah warbanner is sometimes worth keeping because of it

[placid quail]

Technically it is a speed item

[sonic tangle]

sometimes

[errant marsh]

Well clover is technically that but more consistently valuable

Well actually it technically isn't

[vapid dagger]

yeah i was just surprised by the sheer number of them

[blissful torrent]

at worst clover rerolls your 1% crit

[sonic tangle]

i like icbm and ive already said why before

[errant marsh]

It's a .9% crit chance item on its own

[quasi lance]

I find that annoying, but it gets balanced with the fact its very strong if you do find one (icbm should give a 5% chance atg on first stack)

[errant marsh]

Insane value

[vapid dagger]

i thought i leveled up like
5 times on the stage 5 tele

[sonic tangle]

i think icbm shoyld do nothing

[quasi lance]

Fair

[errant marsh]

Or actually its like .99%

[placid quail]

Warbanner with solitude is funny. I had a TP zone that had dozens of banners. (I had many mountain stacks and it was an access node stage also)

[sonic tangle]

longstanding solitude

[errant marsh]

I think?

[quasi lance]

Its very strong without that

[sonic tangle]

i think its unique that it either does nothing or is one of rhe best items in the game

[blissful torrent]

this

[vapid dagger]

btw
nectar buffs ALL stats

which is kind of huge

[sonic tangle]

grectar is great

[vapid dagger]

even if its only 16% its amazing

[placid quail]

So much truth

[sonic tangle]

one compulsion is 9% and 2 compulsions is 15%

let that sink in

[placid quail]

Growth Compulsion

Collector’s Nectar

[blissful torrent]

i think that's neat but the fact you are only guaranteed one red per run which means there are runs where your only red does nothing for you really rubs me the wrong way

[vapid dagger]

youre tankier on several fronts
it adds an actual speed multiplier
and several different multipliers to attack as well including attack speed which is amazing

[sonic tangle]

wait the latter goes hard

collectors nectar

[sonic tangle]

thats fair

[placid quail]

Rhymes too

[vapid dagger]

growth compulsion already exists
its chronic expansion

[placid quail]

It’s more like Acute Expansion since it wears off so quickly

[quasi lance]

I think most reds staying power are that they synergize super well with other items, which can be a problem when you dont have said other items

[errant marsh]

Massive amounts of "invisible value"

[sonic tangle]

plenty of reds hold their own

[placid quail]

I think robotic mask ghosts inherit dynamite which is funny

[sonic tangle]

thats cool

[placid quail]

I swear on me mum I saw that happen

[errant marsh]

Growth nectar + meditate seeker + compulsion = massive stats

[quasi lance]

Ghost leumerians get spare drone parts

[sonic tangle]

[quasi lance]

But ONLY ghost leumerians

[placid quail]

Lemurian but with a fucking gun

[sonic tangle]

imagine if sdp applied to any allies

[quasi lance]

Because of a devotion bug

[sonic tangle]

you give beetle guard a gun

[eager vapor]

i'm curious, does the math behind rejuv rack + corpsebloom come out differently with eclipse 5 or nah

[sonic tangle]

corpsebloom gets double nerfed by e5

[placid quail]

Society if it applied to your gummy clone if your character is one of the three robots

[quasi lance]

They give 2x healing if you got em both

[eager vapor]

yea but does rejuv rack undo that or no

[sonic tangle]

i dont think so

[placid quail]

Chef with a gun

[sonic tangle]

actually i have no idea

[placid quail]

He’s serving your demise

[eager vapor]

dam i just got rejuv rack on stage 1 so i was curious

[sonic tangle]

i dont really use corpsebloom so

[languid crystal]

but i use corpsebloom

[sonic tangle]

worth a shot

[languid crystal]

always stack 10 trillion corpseblooms its worth it

[eager vapor]

yeah screw it might as well see what it does

[quasi lance]

Rejuv basically removes e5, and having both corpsebloom and rejack doubles your healing on e5

[eager vapor]

i never use corpsebloom but this is for the knowledge checkpoint

[quasi lance]

Corpsebloom is good

Most healing doesnt even go past 10%hp/s

Just never stack it and youre fine

[placid quail]

You’re not my father and I don’t listen to him either

buys twenty blooms

[sonic tangle]

its so strange that lunars either have no stacking downside or totally implode if you do stack them

[quasi lance]

40 lunar coins wasted

[eager vapor]

ong

[placid quail]

🗒️

[quasi lance]

I can only name like 2 lunars that stack fairly

[quartz umbra]

I love bbq sauce

[placid quail]

Solitude stacks great but kinda caps out at 3 I think

[sonic tangle]

i can name 5 or maybe 6

[placid quail]

2 stacks is ideal

[sonic tangle]

the heresy items minus hooks

[errant marsh]

Longstanding solitude transcendence and gesture having absolutely 0 downsides whatsoever when stacking

[quasi lance]

and

[sonic tangle]

yeah brittle crown

[quasi lance]

3 best lunars just because no downsides

[placid quail]

Transcendence does not need such a huge health buff tbh

[quasi lance]

No it does not

[errant marsh]

Don't all the heresy items stack cooldown except strides

[placid quail]

True…

[quartz umbra]

What if there was an item that made equipments used twice per activation

[placid quail]

But strides gets a longer duration which can be upsetting

[errant marsh]

Bottled order

[quasi lance]

Ive argued enough why its the best item in the game

[errant marsh]

Technically can be bad sometimes yeah

[quartz umbra]

No I mean like fmp activates twice per tick, and you can recycle an item an extra time

[placid quail]

Canned order

[errant marsh]

Evil bhaos

[quasi lance]

Transcendence is safer spaces on steroids but you can technically die on first hit

[errant marsh]

Medkit is basically safer spaces in monsoon

[quartz umbra]

Hell nah

[quasi lance]

Even in monsoon no

Only early and if you stack a few

[quartz umbra]

Maybe medium (forgot name) and drizzle

[placid quail]

I hate monsoon

Rainstorm gang

[errant marsh]

Every monsoon run im hitting up that medkit printer you better believe

[placid quail]

(I have issues pertaining to my skill)

[quartz umbra]

Bro idk if I do or not

[placid quail]

That means you do

[quartz umbra]

I wish I knew if I was shit or not

[placid quail]

It’s in the Bible I’m pretty sure

[vital escarp]

do you get hit

[quartz umbra]

Sometimes

[placid quail]

Third chronicles chapter 14

[errant marsh]

Don't get hit bro

[blissful torrent]

i have never got hit personally

[vital escarp]

then skill issue

[blissful torrent]

except to unlock the items you have to die for

[quartz umbra]

I mean im succeeding on my e6 runs so far

[errant marsh]

I've no hit ror2 itemless every run

[quasi lance]

Ive had to teach 6 PEOPLE this game and they love it, seeing them go from drizzle commando to monsoon whoever is astounding

[placid quail]

I love how SOTS allows you to get I Love Dying in the same run

[quartz umbra]

For me, no persons

[vital escarp]

which ones need that tho
i only know the teddy bear

[placid quail]

The entire achievement I mean

[sonic tangle]

blast shower

[quartz umbra]

One person got bored and the other is on console

[vital escarp]

whats it unlock

[sonic tangle]

die 5 times to burning

[blissful torrent]

tougher times and blast shower

[placid quail]

Squeaky clean

[vital escarp]

ohhhhhh

i always forgot bout blast shower

[quasi lance]

I saw that mistake

[errant marsh]

The friend I introduced ror2 to had a uhh interesting first impression

[old python]

I wish I had a mentor.. all I got was a girl putting me on the game and that's it.. plus the occasional questions here.

[errant marsh]

Voidtouched elder lemurian swarm stage 4

[old python]

Amazing.

[quartz umbra]

I swear for 2 years I did not have berserk unlocked

[errant marsh]

First run we ever did

Together

[quasi lance]

I just told them you can play as a cowboy and robo-spiderman and they got it (its free on ps+ extra)

[eager vapor]

i think it's actually working like it usually does, neat

[old python]

Ew ps+.

[quartz umbra]

Wait does ps and Xbox have cross play

[errant marsh]

Nope

[quartz umbra]

NOOOOOO

I swear I got a ps just for ghost of Tsushima

And Elden ring

[quasi lance]

Anything that isnt a PC just kinda sucks tbh but at least i dont have to pay 30$ a month for my game catalouge (that has risk of rain and hollow knight)

I just have to pay 30$ every 3 months

[quartz umbra]

Was not a great decision despite how much I love ghost of Tsushima, since we ain’t rich

[old python]

Huh?

[blissful torrent]

what console charges 30 dollars a month

[quasi lance]

Xbox

[old python]

Fr?

[quartz umbra]

Thats just for online right?

[quasi lance]

Practically

[quasi lance]

That + game catalouge

[quartz umbra]

Nintendo also does that last time i checked

[quasi lance]

Playstation is 10$ a month for online + catalouge

[quartz umbra]

Had to stick to splatoon 2 campaign :(

[quasi lance]

No game catalouge tho

[quartz umbra]

Yeah which sucks

[quasi lance]

PS also has 3 free games every month that are free for anyone with any PS+ and permanently on the game catalouge

All my friends got slime rancher 2 and Nine Sols through it

[quartz umbra]

Oh thats nice, pretty sure I got squadron that way

[quasi lance]

Ive gotten plenty through it

[quartz umbra]

Omg I need slime rancher 2, slime rancher and halo were my childhood

[quasi lance]

As you can see from the pfp, i am insane about slime rancher

[vapid dagger]

dive really just feel like bootleg feather now

[quartz umbra]

Though I never completed not even one of the master chief collections campaigns due to constantly getting lost

[quasi lance]

Dive mention!!! I love moving 3m in any direction on a 4s cooldown!!!

[old python]

😔

[vapid dagger]

i really hope it gets fixed soon

[quasi lance]

Im kidding but dive is an ability of all time

[vapid dagger]

its just not very good

[quartz umbra]

Feather vs bird thingy for Mithrix fight

[vapid dagger]

wax quail?

[quartz umbra]

Yes

[vapid dagger]

feather is better

UNLESS

[quartz umbra]

I legit forgot the name for some reason

[vapid dagger]

you have stompers

[quasi lance]

"COMMANDO WATCH OUT FOR MITHRIX"

"Oh boy let me use my TACTICAL DIVE™ to dodge it!"

he was then beat to death by the force of a lonely god

[quartz umbra]

I like having at least one quail over one feather

Though more can be a bit detrimental

[quasi lance]

I feel quails stack more potently than feathers as you sprintjump more than you double jump

Usually

[quartz umbra]

I prefer just the one because it can become hard to control when stacked

[vapid dagger]

commando yells "tactical roll!" and then does floats 30 feet into the air, defying all laws of physics
and one looks in disbelief and wonders "what the fuck is he doing?"

[quartz umbra]

Ex constantly jumping out the eclipse Tele radius

[quasi lance]

He then falls down and gets slammed on by 500 beetle guards

[quartz umbra]

Shrine of the mountain beetle queen

[vapid dagger]

according to all laws of aerodynamics
theres no way a commando should be able to fly

[quasi lance]

And they cant they fall eventually!

Happy ending!

[vapid dagger]

unless you use slide with no cooldown

[quasi lance]

Commando is so cool i want to beat em to death

[vapid dagger]

which is just a jetpack

[quartz umbra]

Commando aint got time for no ‘law of air’o’dynamic or whatever that is’

[old python]

According to all laws of everything.. mf is generating energy from Rollin into a wall.

[vital escarp]

kinetic energy

[quartz umbra]

Brother is creating energy

[quasi lance]

Newton never made a 3rd law!!!!

INFINITE ACCELERATION!!! FRICTION IS A FICTIONAL CONCEPT

[quartz umbra]

Me when merc m2

[vapid dagger]

commando with dive when it works as its supposed to is a freak of nature who slams himself into walls and bounces upward the height of the empire state building

[quartz umbra]

I AM THE BIRD THAT FLIES BEYOND THE RAINBOW

[vapid dagger]

dive as it is now just kind of
floats a little

its cartoonish

[quasi lance]

I find it funny how merc m2 is just good tactical dive™

[quartz umbra]

You are cartoonish

I mean look at your pfp

[vapid dagger]

nah trust me on this
dive with proper momentum resets is kind of better since it also allows commando to just turn on a dime midair

[quartz umbra]

I will always remember laughing my head off when I died from the merc m2

[old python]

Commando haixgajwgaigflqjsnahodgkfvanqlwijd.

Imma go sleep.

[quasi lance]

But 3 second cooldown + tf2 slope physics

[quartz umbra]

lol

[quasi lance]

I love hitting a slight incline and skipping pillars

[vapid dagger]

yeah the cooldown that still requires you to land before doing it again

[quartz umbra]

Same

[quartz umbra]

Which ability?

[vapid dagger]

dive when it works properly is can pretty easily turn into an endless loop of trimps that never actually touches the ground

[quartz umbra]

Ooooh dive

I never use dive

[quasi lance]

There is no way you aint getting where you need to go with merc tbf (besides maybe pillarskip)

[vapid dagger]

whirlwind is different when used in the air and goes less distance

[quartz umbra]

Still does the slope thing

[vapid dagger]

it does

[quasi lance]

Still a great stall that leaves time for utility

[vapid dagger]

it also scales with attack speed tho

[quartz umbra]

But it’s less of an affect but still good

[quasi lance]

Ima go to sleep

[quartz umbra]

Gn

[vapid dagger]

distance scaling inversely with attack speed is something that really bugs me about whirlwind

[quartz umbra]

I don’t mind it

I don’t really care too much about the expose things since I don’t usually do band with merc

[vapid dagger]

its usually not too big of an issue admittedly but its kind of just
not really good for it to do that either

dive also scales uncomfortably fast with movespeed increases

[quartz umbra]

Im in love with proc merc, though I still can do the expose mechanics

[vapid dagger]

proc merc?

[quartz umbra]

Yeah

Idk how it works it just does for me

[vapid dagger]

i use full defaults is that what you mean?

[quartz umbra]

I don’t

[blissful torrent]

i think they just mean proc items

[quartz umbra]

I forgot what the defaults even are

Yeah

[vapid dagger]

proc items are just all around good and work on everyone

[quartz umbra]

Yeah though bleed does not work nearly as well on some

[vapid dagger]

bleed is less of a proc item than atg imo

its just good for rapid fire attacks

[austere prism]

drifter is so fun

[quartz umbra]

For me no, I consider them evenly proc

[austere prism]

it's just Random Bullshit go

[vapid dagger]

but atg is good in proc builds bc it also can proc more on hits

[worldly haven]

played some rounds with a friends, look at how many unlocks i go

[quartz umbra]

True though bleed is bleed, thats all I gotta say

[vapid dagger]

bleed is its own thing

[quartz umbra]

I love em both

[quartz umbra]

Nice

[vapid dagger]

it functions great independently but doesnt have a lot of support so it ends up being about as good as things like sticky bombs and crits long term

[quartz umbra]

Though I do do builds that are focused on bleed

On one’s like commando, huntress etc

[worldly haven]

this also deepened my understanding of engineer's abilities

[quartz umbra]

Gooooood

Welp gtg do stuff cya

[austere prism]

oh damn Charged and Molten perforator alreadyy?

well Charged I mean cause molten is a bit more common

[worldly haven]

for some reason all the boss items are already unlocked for me

i just need to take them for logbook entries

[sacred elk]

the items that are unlocked by default are unlocked by default

im shocked

[vital escarp]

i'm shocking you

[worldly haven]

well i mean, i'd atleast think the boss items unlock after beating their respective bosses

[blissful torrent]

nope they're just always unlocked

you can roll into any of them with recycler (outside of some specific items which are tied to dlc3 content and aren't boss items in the traditional sense, despite being the same rarity)

[livid idol]

I mean if tesla and razorwire are problematic enough to be blacklisted I see absolutely no reason kinetic dampener shouldn't be too

[austere prism]

oh wtf she lost ALL THE SAUCE from her base skin

[sacred elk]

true...

[robust plume]

No yeah mastery drifter skin is some hot dogshit

[vapid dagger]

i dont actualy know what happened

[golden linden]

the receeding hairline fit

[vapid dagger]

decent i guess

[vapid dagger]

casual merc run
god this character is good

Takes a 500 damage hit
“Oh no anyway”

[quick glade]

I don't know how to play this game 😭

[turbid escarp]

where am i going chatroom

[turbid escarp]

full defaults is poo poo for proc merc

[quick glade]

go left (I forgot the stage name)

it will be more easily traversable as merc than amber

[vapid dagger]

Works fine from my experience

[turbid escarp]

also this is literally every character post loop LMAO

[vapid dagger]

At a 40 minute pace?

[turbid escarp]

its mostly chancing either worms or lil dih(ciple)

[quick glade]

Yeah true

[blissful torrent]

nah go right it's prettier

[upper wing]

i love default merc

[turbid escarp]

before i got quality mod ramped up scaling i was pulling 30 minute runs with eclipse instead

[turbid escarp]

[blissful torrent]

scorched acres is my favourite stage 3

[turbid escarp]

fuck i forgot no embeds

[blissful torrent]

rpd has pests

[vapid dagger]

Embed failure

[blissful torrent]

also is it just me or is everyone playing merc lately?

OMG HI OVENDUD

[upper wing]

im actually rather excited to see what they reveal in the hc dev diary

[blissful torrent]

i hope you have learned the error of your ways

[upper wing]

welcome back

[vapid dagger]

Default merc just fucking ignores 90% of the actual gameplay to play his own

[turbid escarp]

hes peam

[blissful torrent]

because you were problematic duh 🙄

careful talking about big h could be a second fumble

[vapid dagger]

Default merc is the definition of “fuck it we ball”

[blissful torrent]

yeah for sure but like... i swear it went from 90% mando posts to 30% mando 60% merc recently

everyone just randomly hopped on the merc train over the past week or so

[turbid escarp]

i usually go scorched but i decided to try switching it up

i regret my choice this fucking sucks\

[upper wing]

they wont

its usually dd1 and/or 2, then survivor 1, then survivor 2

[blissful torrent]

"i usually go to happy rainbow land but instead i went to shitville, i regret it"

[vapid dagger]

Pov default merc saw you 0.5 seconds ago

[turbid escarp]

both maps HAVE imps why does it feel like rpd just SWARMS me with imps

[blissful torrent]

it's pretty and that is all it has going for it

and scorched acres is prettier so like

also ovendud you missed someone telling me to "get a fucking job you fucking piece of shit" and sai rolling up with the ban hammer

[vapid dagger]

Bc its more iconic now

[blissful torrent]

yea but i play slow...

i got that timed chest once like three years ago when i barely played the game and thought you were meant to rush

also chat which merc skin do i use

[vital escarp]

no

[blissful torrent]

no they told me to because i told people to stop interacting with their ragebait and sai emerged from the shadows

[vital escarp]

some jerk told blazing to get a job because she didnt agree in their pov

[vapid dagger]

I missed this too

[blissful torrent]

(they were objectively ragebaiting i wasn't exaggerating or anything like that, they were saying inflammatory statements to get a rise)

they were being annoying for like a day straight but they had no criminal record

just muted i think

[vapid dagger]

If it is who i think it is I thought they were just new

Like
Really new

[blissful torrent]

name was scadutree fragment or smth like that

[vital escarp]

the miss circle pfp user

[coarse merlin]

A timeless classic

[blissful torrent]

no comment

[vapid dagger]

Yeah i assumed they were just new and immature

[blissful torrent]

they did say "monsoon is too hard" and call us a community of elitist pieces of shit (one person said they were a noob), then drop screenshots of their eclipse 6 artificer conveniently after being told how to use a modmanager

i think their exact words were something like "monsoon is ultra mega torture mode"

[undone gorge]

I can't say anything, I die on drizzle

[blissful torrent]

which tbf they didn't get muted for that, they got muted for calling me a fucking piece of shit and telling me to get a job

[vapid dagger]

Game is hard on hard mode

[coarse merlin]

Tell me when they come back around again, I'll bring popcorn

[vapid dagger]

Yall were pretty rude to them

[blissful torrent]

they were being hella irrational about it too, one person said they were a noob and everyone else was like "don't call people noobs, everyone has their own preferred difficulty - also are you interested in trying monsoon and if so would you like advice?" and they were like "yeah this is a server full of elitists and monsoon purists you people suck"

[spare bobcat]

Are we trash talking artificer again

WITHOUT ME?

[coarse merlin]

Gulp

[vapid dagger]

1 bad apple spoils the bunch

[blissful torrent]

will not deny that one person, maybe two, said they were bad

i was not one of those people

nor were most of the people involved in the conversation

[vapid dagger]

Its unfortunate but negativity bias is definitely a thing

[blissful torrent]

for sure

[vital escarp]

it was out of nowhere too

[undone gorge]

No joke, I see you tubers play on like these insane difficulties (I think one was like Armageddon or some shit) and they just breeze right through and I'm like "how?"

[vital escarp]

oh hell naw

at least ksi aint there

[blissful torrent]

i told someone else not to engage with them (because they were saying stupid stuff to get a rise) and they literally hit me with "get a fucking job you fucking piece of shit" i was CACKLING

no armageddon is from a different mod, i forget which

[vital escarp]

🪦

[round sandal]

I…. Am the grey

And the meower ofc

[vital escarp]

did they even mention having a job tho

[blissful torrent]

i'm a carer for my dad and i do volunteer work but i don't have a job so ykw i guess they were right release them mods they did nothing wrong

[vital escarp]

i dont quite remember

[blissful torrent]

hi there the grey and the meower how are you doing?

[undone gorge]

I may have gotten the name wrong but there is a mod called "More Difficulties" that does add it.

Spike strip modding on thunderstore

[blissful torrent]

chat pick a merc loadout for my next eclipse 2 attempt, i will take the first answer

[vital escarp]

1112

[coarse merlin]

Monsoon is the only way to play the game and if you don't you may as well uninstall and play Mort the Chicken for the PS2 instead

[blissful torrent]

drizzle players when they see Apocalypse Pro Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch

[vital escarp]

grrrr hard game being hard???? grrrrr how could that be grrrr

[coarse merlin]

Oop
PS1

[undone gorge]

I'm gonna fail every mission in Mort to show you how much I suck at video games.

[coarse merlin]

Shoutout to the slay the spire 2 Chinese playerbase ❤️

[vital escarp]

didnt that game recently came out holy shit they gotta chill

[coarse merlin]

"Dude" being in your name does a lot

[vital escarp]

and i am iceman pronouns

[devout sage]

hate those guys man

[vital escarp]

icem*n

[devout sage]

took away my beloved door maker

[coarse merlin]

Because social media in China doesn't exist, they put their feedback in their reviews
Also losing things is a much much smaller part of culture over there
So when they patch the game and things get any harder they negative review bomb

[undone gorge]

I gotta go, my phone's almost dead

[vital escarp]

dude its intro SUCKS

[coarse merlin]

It's actually insane, I think it's mostly negative recently but if you set it to only English reviews it's overwhelmingly positive

I was being hyperbolic

[vital escarp]

so like theyre trained to be tryhards huh

no wonder why they the most hardworking country

[coarse merlin]

Darn commies
But I've never been there it could be a nice place

Darnnnnnn commies

[blissful torrent]

choosing to believe you're catfishing the entirety of rorcord

[vital escarp]

LMAOOOOOOOO

[robust plume]

yo i love that profile pic of the scavenger

[vital escarp]

so youre short

bru they are like 3x times the size of the player 😭

[robust plume]

how tall is commando

[vital escarp]

uhhh prolly below 6'1

[coarse merlin]

aaaa you can't send 4 images

[vital escarp]

id guess 170 cms

[vapid dagger]

Hes about 6’5’’

[vital escarp]

is this canon

[coarse merlin]

Scavengers are actually like the size of a room

[devout sage]

thats kinda hot

[vital escarp]

what

[coarse merlin]

And wisps are like the size of a flat screen

Everything is way bigger than it looks in videogames

[vital escarp]

holy both sum freaks

[robust plume]

if i had a nickel for every time the chat has thirsted over commando precisely when i´m present

i´d have TWO

[devout sage]

commando is him

[vital escarp]

nickel like the tboi coin

[devout sage]

hes that guy

[vital escarp]

whats a nickel anyway

[vapid dagger]

I vaguely remember someone measured all the player models based on the size of certain aoe effects

[vital escarp]

huh

[devout sage]

a hardworking, honest, dude

[vital escarp]

OHHH right they have measurements

[robust plume]

im starting to believe this particular trans boy that you guys keep bringing up is a prominent figure in your community

[vapid dagger]

Yes commando is the shortest character at 6’5

Big mission requires big people

[vital escarp]

whos the trans boy what

[robust plume]

t-boi

it can´t be that hard to guess dawg

[vital escarp]

shortest????

[coarse merlin]

T-T

Crying

[vapid dagger]

Yes shortest

[robust plume]

I KNOW IM LITERALLY JOKING

[vital escarp]

whar the hell
who is the tallest?

[coarse merlin]

:)

Smiling

[robust plume]

its so over

[coarse merlin]

'_ ' _ /

Compiling

[vapid dagger]

Of the humanoid characters loader
Of all playable characters i believe its either rex or acrid

[coarse merlin]

Darn it didn't work

[vital escarp]

my god

[robust plume]

does false son not tower over everybody

[vital escarp]

never knew they were massive

[robust plume]

like canonically

[vital escarp]

whats tawog

[coarse merlin]

Acrid could bench press all of us

[vapid dagger]

Actually false son is probably tallest now

[coarse merlin]

At once

[vital escarp]

omfg

[vapid dagger]

And drifter is shorter than commando

[vital escarp]

OHHHH

dude i dont know it by the english name smh my head

[coarse merlin]

I'm amazed you'd acronymize it instead of just saying "gumball"

[vital escarp]

tawo gumball

oh wait nvm

[coarse merlin]

Tawo
Tawo
Tawo tawo tawo
To the tune of that one classical music

[vital escarp]

what

[coarse merlin]

The pig from bad piggies is named Ross

[vital escarp]

why is it so hard to speak

[blissful torrent]

stage 1 teleporter was overloading stone golems, it was easy but terrifying

[vital escarp]

to people i dont know

[coarse merlin]

Let it out, like blazing fire

[round sandal]

soooooooo sleepy

[coarse merlin]

Let all fool enough to stand in your path be immolated by your spirit

[vital escarp]

is it something that you learn

[blissful torrent]

you are sleepy a lot it would seem! have you considered hibernation?

[vital escarp]

when constantly being alone

[round sandal]

i think its nap time

[round sandal]

this summer.....

[vital escarp]

when did i become a man

[blissful torrent]

every time is nap time if you are based enough

[vital escarp]

trapped inside a ghost

[coarse merlin]

I thought you were talking about talking on the server, idk how to help you with strangers in public

Don't immolate them k

[vital escarp]

no im singing

[coarse merlin]

Nevermind

[vital escarp]

the comfort of a laugh track by roar

[coarse merlin]

I'll go die in a hole

[vital escarp]

teehee

no don't

[coarse merlin]

I'll go die on a hill

[vital escarp]

don't die

[coarse merlin]

I'll go die somewhere between heaven and hell

[vital escarp]

thats still dying

[vapid dagger]

I saw teen titans go clips and i immediately felt an overwhelming sense of dread

[vital escarp]

its either fart jokes or bullying to robin or actual advice to adult people

[coarse merlin]

Dying vs me

[round sandal]

ds3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coarse merlin]

Me vs dying in 70 years

[vital escarp]

ok but thats not dying

[round sandal]

ds3!!!!!!!!!!

[vital escarp]

thats finishing life

[coarse merlin]

Don't starve 3!! It's coming!!

[coarse merlin]

The only death that counts

[vital escarp]

holy shit dont starve 3?

[coarse merlin]

Actually yeah hold on let me find the trailer it looks sick

[vital escarp]

i was praying for times like these 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

it feels so good to have the game you are larping

[coarse merlin]

https://youtu.be/Ycb5mqqGPis

[vital escarp]

ip logger

[coarse merlin]

It doesn't embed but that's the trailer for don't starve: elsewhere

New game, they added ledges

[blissful torrent]

what's the proc coefficient on slicing winds?

[coarse merlin]

And hopefully less microtransactions

Fewer*

[turbid escarp]

1.0 x 8

[coarse merlin]

You use less for things you can't count like liquid, or values like money or time or hp

[vital escarp]

HOLY SHIT THEY ARE GONNA ADD DEPTH TO THE GAME FINALLY????

[vapid dagger]

On up to 3 targets

[coarse merlin]

You use fewer for anything else

[turbid escarp]

tru

[vapid dagger]

Evis is 1.0 x 7 x attack speed

[turbid escarp]

on multiple targets

[vapid dagger]

1 target

[turbid escarp]

does the damage not spread out like master yi q?

[vapid dagger]

It can change targets if one dies early

[turbid escarp]

ah

[vapid dagger]

But its total hit count remains unchanged with extra targets

Its efficient for single target elimination

[blissful torrent]

i fear you play too much league...

[halcyon creek]

pls atg

[turbid escarp]

i personally think that slicing winds is just better, for being safer and having aoe and having expose

[vapid dagger]

Its not actually safer

But it does a lot more damage

[blissful torrent]

evis is a dash with i frames, i think both are good

[halcyon creek]

[vapid dagger]

Evis is definitely safer bc its both a dash and has 2 seconds of iframes

[vital escarp]

id say merc doesnt need much aoe tho
he has piercing anyway

[blissful torrent]

i just got your atg

[vital escarp]

pretty good crowd control

but yeah

[vapid dagger]

But yeah swinds is more powerful generally and safe enough if you can fight at range

Or move decently

[turbid escarp]

nuh uh

[turbid escarp]

disagree, the safest place to be is nowhere near your enemy, not inside of them invincibly for 2 seconds (imo)

[vapid dagger]

Its actually hard for a skill to be safer than evis

[turbid escarp]

[vapid dagger]

Well the attack itself only lasts like 1 second and then theres just another second of lingering iframes while you can reposition freely

And if you use it right its just free damage

[blissful torrent]

oh my lord... and that's a relatively new champ too

[turbid escarp]

i only picked her up last year smile

[round sandal]

Crazy how we all have to do this at some point

[blissful torrent]

slicing winds lets you play from a safer distance but eviscerate lets you stay safer at close range which is where merc wants to be

[round sandal]

Shhhhhh, people are sleeping

[vapid dagger]

It basically “beats out” anything the enemy would normally be doing at the time so its a giant middle finger to “timing your approach”

[turbid escarp]

slicing also is just higher overall dps, since it can be on the enemy while you slice them to bits with your other abilities

[vital escarp]

he's dirty

[vapid dagger]

And only gets better when you do time it

[turbid escarp]

i think this is just, the BEST merc loadout bar none

[blissful torrent]

it can also hit multiple enemies at once

[halcyon creek]

damn

[vital escarp]

how

[turbid escarp]

yeah its free aoe for when you miss a gasoline (like i have so far)

[blissful torrent]

i am getting everyone's items... someone else wanted an atg and i immediately found one, you're missing gas and i got two this stage

[vapid dagger]

The thing is evis gets you in range of m1 more easily and provides consistent dps without ever needing to back off or even really dodge

[blissful torrent]

i missed one chest so far this run and it was a goat hoof, i am in mourning

[halcyon creek]

more speed and gasssss these shops are goated

[turbid escarp]

i dont like abilities that rely on specific items to function or scale better, like how evis needs as and flurry needs crit, i think both abilities are MID because of this fact alone

[vital escarp]

it is tho

[vapid dagger]

You just sit on top of whatever target you want and tear them to shreds

And it doesn’t need attack speed to be good

[blissful torrent]

i got a goat hoof from my chance shrine. this run is just giving me everything everyone wants

guys ask for good items

[vapid dagger]

Bc its still also providing support through reinforcing the safety of whatever position you want as well just
Getting you in that position to begin with

[blissful torrent]

eviscerate isn't really for the damage tho, it's there for the dash and invuln the damage is kinda just an added bonus imo

[vital escarp]

let there be old war stealthkit

[blissful torrent]

i thought we were friends :(

[vital escarp]

we arent? 💔💔💔

[vapid dagger]

You also can just blaze through the stage with unreal speeds bc you have 4 omnidirectional dashes

[vital escarp]

i understand...........

[turbid escarp]

evis is 100% there for single target damage, that other stuff is just there to enable the ability to work

also i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE getting one-shot by false son because of a well-documented bug thats been in the game since AC!!!!!!!!!! awesome!!!!!!!

[vapid dagger]

It kind of hard counters xi construct too

[vital escarp]

its called game design

[vapid dagger]

What is xi construct gonna do to a merc thats on top of it? Dash away? Merc can dash 5x as often

[turbid escarp]

literally whenever something thats been a known bug in the game for months or years atp (fuck you phase one false son fuck you halcyonite) just isnt fixed by the devs i say "fuck you guys" and undo the death like goooo fuck yourself gearbox

[halcyon creek]

han-d mod is actually kinda fun icl

[blissful torrent]

my watch broke i hope you're happy...

[vapid dagger]

The one where evis isn’t properly connecting to enemies near the end of the dash?

[vital escarp]

im not happy................

[vapid dagger]

Thats been in the game since sots dropped
