happy isnt that happy huh
no the one where false son will teleport onto you with zero ability or chance to dodge if you have any drones at all
isn't that just false son things (like i agree it's dumb and stupid but isn't that just a thing he does)
literal just rng check if you have drones in phase 1 false son to see if you survive (unless you have loop damage you guaranteed lose)
no its a NEW bug added since AC that makes him even worse than sots fs
Wdym? He just dashes at you? Thats just part of his attack pattern i thought

no its different from that, its not a normal dash he does (the dashes he does in phase 1 are bullshit anyways but its different)
Im confused then
imagine an artifact that makes it so you cant stack ítems
like phase one is GENUINELY unwinnable with drones, at least in eclipse, id have to find whatever race video shows it off since thats where i learned it from
also with this, from my perspective it's there to enable you to stay on top of enemies for longer more safely and reduce your combat downtime (obvious example is vagrant explosions where with slicing winds you have to outdamage it or run or you eat a nuke whereas with eviscerate you can keep your damage up and just dodge the nuke as it happens)
Eclipse fucks with his dash iirc
eclipse does
Specifically e4
classic eclipse moment (i'm glad i'm not e4 yet)
Bc it increases his movespeed beyond what it should be
Im glad i have enough sense to just not rely on fighting false son to do well
also question, is there a guaranteed newt portal on treeborn? i swear sometimes i can't find one but idk if there's another spawn location i don't know about
the drone changes in AC fucked with his targetting and then the dash getting messed with in e4 genuinely is just the "you cant win against me" combo
If they made phase one false son do like 1/4th the damage he currently does the boss would be goated
if they made phase one false son not have scuffed attacks it would be goated
I don't think it's guaranteed
Idk why he has to be so hard to dodge and oneshot you
but I see it most of the time
I dont think that was an AC thing
i am TELLING you, there is a DIFFERENT bug from the sots bugs for fs 😭
i know how fucked he was pre ac and i know how fucked he was after and its a DIFFERENT kind of fucked
ty brodun! i'm going there a lot lately because i still need the environment log so i just wanted to make sure i wasn't blind and missing a portal
there's a pretty tricky spot though, always check at the back under the highest platform, there can be a newt spawn on a vine
heres all of them, i checked the wiki and i didnt see anything about it NOT being guaranteed like it does on doost
.
Regardless of how fucked the false son fight is
Evis has been bugged since sots and no one seems to have noticed
what's the bug?
im fortelling the future
The hitreg ends too early during the daah
now let there be gregtar
Khexu
it was there! tysm ^^ i must have been missing it every time it spawned there
hewwo vampy
Hellllo
i'm so bored
Do something
Its supposed to hit about as far out as blinding assault does and connect with anything that gets within 15 meters of the entire dash but currently if something is near the very end of the dash it wont connect at all
math is awesome :)
oh that sucks
If you dash through a golem with BA and then try to double back with evis it wont connect
Best way to showcase why its a problem
okay yeah i found the race video where he talked about it a bit, (what if your crits could crit is the video) where if you have drones fs will dash directly on top of you and one shot you guaranteed, undodgeably, different from how goofy he was before
like you could dodge it before if you knew the fuckery but drones just fuck with his terrible dash logic ig
i like men
Ive seen him dash to my location but ive never seen it be undodgeable
He usually gets busy bullying drones tho
I´ve just been sneaking these in during conversations so that one day i can look the sentence up on the searchbar and show a billion results
Might be eclipse 4 causing him to overshoot the dash bc of perfect spacing between him the drones and the player
get well soon 😔
Bc i know eclipse 4 causes him to overshoot the dash
its okay i like women too
and i aint leaving the NBs out either
someones pansexual
you can't be saying that 😭
Gay
what on earth...
chat. my halcyon shrine just spawned like 5 gilded jellyfish instead of halcyonite
thats not an e4 exclusive thing iirc, the way fs worked (at least before ac, think its still the case when you're droneless tho) is that he has shitty calculations and will multiply the distance between you to calc his dash, so if you run super far away then run right at him you dodge it by making him overshoot, hence why a certain speed threshold was basically necessary for fighting him
this is different, because instead of dashing at you he will teleport on top of you and then slam down one shotting you
are you looping? sounds like director couldnt manage it
no i'm on stage 3
nah thats a fair response
............ is the shrine like in a really shitty spot and couldnt spawn halc or something? 😭
I hope they find a cure for straight people soon
idk not all men are evil and hateful 😭
LIKING NONBINARY PEOPLE DOESNT FORCE YOU INTO PANSEXUALITY OVER BISEXUALITY GRAHHHHH
Do you like pans or bicycles
it was just chilling on one of the platforms on treeborn and i've definitely had it spawn halc there before 🤷♀️ but i got the wolfoqol "defeat the guardian" mission and halc definitely didn't spawn and when i killed the final jellyfish i got the rewards
enough of them are for it to be an affliction 🚬
pans are awesome, I can cook a mean steak on one
weird but blessed rng, i pray for it next time i finish a shrine FUCK halcyonite
that's true but also i was just being silly and goofy and didn't really mean anything by it past "women are pretty"
I have not seen this happen
I know it just stunned me for a sec
guys afterburner is kinda pointless on blinding assault merc right? i have three dashes already and they get their cooldown refunded from exposed with m1 and slicing winds
Its actually godlike
Yeah it lets BA actually get expose CDR
you basically never have to stop moving
what if instead of playing mercenary you played as gup
and you get 9 dashes
so you never get hit basically
Every charge of blinding assault can chain three times
Man I hate distant roost
0 chests in sight
the lines are beginning to form in the matrix
ive picked up fighting him more lately cause learning that helped me be a lot more consistent with it (by killing my drones, i just forgot to do it this run)
happy not to make that joke again if it bothers you btw ^^
I never kill my drones and just pillar cheese him
nono its ok I'm not men you just caught me off guard kaypi
Looney toons ass tactics
i simply did not expect it
i know you're not men dw! just wanted to check
fair!
He usually kills my drones himself anyway
They slow him down enough
awesome boss that's well designed mhm yep that's false son definitely
(i hate the fact that the pillars give him a lobotomy)
oh my GOD
okay i see what you guys mean about afterburner
i just killed awu without ever having to stop dashing this is an insane combo ty ac and brodun for enlightening me!
dashes go brrrrrr
no i was here first
true but i am pan though they got that right
i purposefully allow myself to have the largest possible dating pool so that my prolonged failure to pull looks more impressive
god i seriously can´t exactly pinpoint what´s wrong with false son
but he´s just.. he´s a little frustrating
not even harder, i´ve had my ass beat by solus wing more and it´s still been more fun
this run just got me back into the ror2 dragon chasing cycle oh my god
borbor!
false son is more frustrating because he doesn't feel fair imo, with solus wing you feel like you misplayed but with false son he just teleports on top of you and you die
yeah it´s like
i keep repeating this because it was one of the first things i heard in this server and it stuck with me
but its real
evil movement check of death and despair
about to go to comp exchange does anyone have any good recipe recommendations from this?
i don't use spex all that much so i feel like i could be missing smth great
i dont know the recipes i just wing it when i get to the chef lol
atg + fire band is merf iirc, sticky and fireworks gets you a new atg to replace the one for merf
OH TRUE AND I HAVE A SPARE STICKY SO I'M NOT LOSING IT ENTIRELY FOR THAT TY BRODUN MY GOAT
also wax quail and spur gets you headstompers, which is a double win cause its headstompers for one, and secondly it gets rid of spur which is annoying 
that IS a double win
I'm looking at recipes and fym bottled chaos plus empty flask is four elixir
that's hilarious
i will say i have begun to understand why you guys say spurs are annoying to play with
does merc have base armour? idk if it's worth fighting mul-t umbra (i won't pick up the shaped glass)
i would assume he does since he's melee
yall ever one phase shart pre loop
i honestly just don't like having one green item that solves my speed for the entire run
gas + sticky is wisp, and wisp + thorn is shatterspleen if you're interested in that kaypi, does mean you lose proc chain stuff but it would be good for solus heart balls
not jumping to maintain it is a neat gimmick that i personally think is interesting but i don't like having 11 hooves because i found one green
tysm <3
death mark + infusion is alien head, and because of how infusion works you're really only losing death mark for that
OH SHIT A VULTURE IN SOLUTIONAL HAUNT DROPPED IFRIT'S
not that alien head is like the most impactful in the world for merc
i can consistently proc death mark (expose + bleed + collapse + slow) and i have basically no cooldowns since i'm merc so this one i will probably pass on
oh dear. solus wing killed my ahoy drone.
molten perf maybe?
you dont have to sacrifice the atg you have cause you can make another
also you can get rid of eclipse lite with the bison steaks to have two seared steaks, and pair monster tooth + a white scrap from killing one of your drones to also get quick fix for a health boost
also growth nectar iirc is death mark noxious
unless you plan on keeping death mark for the bonus dmg
i am keeping death mark and tbh i kinda like eclipse lite on merc but these recipes are really useful for future runs ty guys ^^
I just keep the cookbook mod cause it's too much of a headache to truly memorize everything for me
I do have most of the desired ones
oh actually you can make little disciple with wisp and buckler
like Tesla atg for charged etc
like you could make wisp and then make that
got a wisp from the chests in the prison cell so i can keep my sticky 😎
i already have one!
shot a grovetender on treeborn
I think keeping disciple at 1 could be better so bands dont just randomly proc?
oops
lemme go do some crafting rq
regardless thats all i got
Scrap all disciples so you can get more yellow scraps
kaypi is turning fire band into merf probably so there wouldnt be a band to proc
I wonder what the icon above the energy drink in the dev diary teaser could be
oh ya fair enough
New item ofc
wait was it 2 gasoline for ignition tank?
funnily enough i actually got a second one from the large chest in solutional haunt along with the will-o-the-wisp i mentioned
oh damn
oh hey i can have a bg
and did you also get the uhh ifrits distinction?
could also get defense nucleus i think you have the stuff for that too
like either or, not that defense nucleus is very good
i randomly got one on the floor
it's fun though I love defense nucleus
hell yeah
this is the most blessed run
"with our powers combined"
Fusion dance
Which anime is the fusion dance from
more fire gooder
I think dragon ball?
yeah
don't really know enough about dragon ball though
i just know it from the broly movie
dragon ball has two fusion methods
three if you count the fusion bugs in daima that were brought up and then never used
i have tank already too
oh wait but actually, stacking it is prob really good for me
Top Emoji in Risk of Rain

how the fuck am i supposed to deal with false son as mercenary bruh
yeah but it stacks well
and i have three gas so i wouldn't fully lose that either what the HECK is this run
I knew something bad was gonna occur
you have iframes
because of shatterspleen you still have the aoe handled anyway for blue balls of doom and despair
oh you have three gas
not two
killing my kineter dampener by making it into psgs so mithrix doesn't use it against me
i think han-d dropped one
aw hell nah i gotta play Osu in my risk of rain
Blue balls of doom and despair 😭
there goes the thought of using slicing winds i guess
slow and steady wins the race
slicing winds could work
you just need to keep your distance
or get good teehee
pov you went to wandering chef
god that shit´s so busted
seared steak!!!
but also the xi construct boss item kinda ass
YEAH IKR I ALSO HAVE FIRE ASPECT WITH MULTIPLE IGNITION TANKS
but he's my friend
you crafted one?
the fire aspect i mean
no a random vulture in solutional haunt dropped it
damn lucky devil
sheart fight brb
SAY IT RIGHT
I feel stupid for becoming heretic on my void fiend mastery run
solus heart :)
ITS SHART
Does it not unlock your mastery if you change into heretic
Nope
Idk why
Dang
you cease being void fiend when you become heretic
fair enough i guess
Heretic is fun though
But void fiend is better
I didn't get any void seeds til loop 3 though
heretic is coded as an entirely different survivor
Which is bullshit
so you will not gain any achievements related to the survivor you played as when you become heretic
veed
Sneed's Feed and Veed
weed
imagine self checkmark reacting smh
ratio
dude we´re on discord
heretic is a different survivor, if you win as her you will unlock her logbook entry and that is the only survivor-related unlock you are eligible for
also i beat sheart he was very free
its called shart
still no logbook tho :/
fart
this makes sense
i´ll just do shart first and then loop around to false son
honestly kaypi you might want to get your hands on a lot of green scrap, go to computational exchange, turn it into regen scrap, and hunt around bazaar until you find clover soup, then heading back to solus heart
not this run cause you murdered solus heart but like you get the idea
and then delete the game
and give me five hundred dollars
no
and then reinstall the game, and then installing snowtime toybox so you can play swarmling survivor forever
and then nuking oklahoma
who are the swarmlings
me
I think the worst final boss is voidling because i hate the parkour sections
Fun boss but i hate the parkour sections
dev diary on thursday
daamn...
download a mod called Fathomless Voidling
I'm on console
💔
dont even joke lad...
conveyor has began
collect my concepts
this you?
engineers 3rd kit leak:
no because this is engineer if he was awesome
wide ass monitor you have huh
I don't like engineer
no i got this from snowtime toybox mod page
wide ass monitor
150cm wide
damn are you 200 cm tall
May 29th is when Hollow, Mina the ...er comes out
Dude wtf is Umbral Mithrix on lmao
Undertale fangame lookin attack pattern
He's on his last breath 🙏
literally thursday
didnt i send a message announcing that owo
thats only his phase 2
they do this in crosscode I think
I feel bad
In order to beat umbral mithrix u gotta figure out which word he's thinking
gasp
I proceeded to state i killed it in sad tone
I didn't mean to kill Big Newt 💔
I just wanted to lock us out of shop
dw he respawns in the next run
He respawns the next time you're there
or iirc next time you visit
There wasn't a next time

My first swarmling run and I have a x14 hit list buff
thank you to everyone who gave me build advice
and also thank you to my girlfriend for watching me demolish a lonely man on a moon
oh yeah, its all coming together
Should i make my friends who are new to the game experience eclipse
gauntlet of doom
wait why arent you running the one dash expose?
thats significantly better in terms of damage
hitting like a pool noodle with triple dash sucks usually TwT
reason number one is that i don't care about which loadout is best i just like running whatever, reason number two is that someone in the server chose my loadout
How does multiplayer eclipse work even
whoever has the lowest eclipse level iirc
it puts you on the lowest level that anyone has on their survivor
I see
so if you have e8 on your survivor but a friend is on e1 you'll all be set to e1
Alright
Yes
We are the swarmlings, we are immune to death
Will loader take fall damage now or are they still immune
loader is the only survivor that can freely ignore e3
head stompers and transcendence also get rid of the effect
I see
I didn't even know transcendence does that
other survivors can too but they need to use their abilities most of the time
Is transcendence even worth it
it removes like 2 or 3 eclipse modifiers completely
notably e3 and e5? since you dont need healing when your health is all shield
I'm assuming it's only worth it in Eclipse though right?
I've never gotten it in a normal run
It doesn't sound good though
it removes a concept thats a bit necessary in most runs to make you SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful
+100% of 0 is still 0
she's mostly fall damage immune because if she wasn't she'd kill herself by ramming into a wall at mach 10
you dont benefit from slugs anymore so you can scrap them for better whites or greens
have you never heard of cautious slug
imo lunars make you a worse player mechanically
I've only gotten it like a total of 10 times probably
alien that has landed on earth when it comes in contact with a slug fanatic:
Earthworms are better
trans is very strong if you're at the level where you can consistently avoid damage for a bit when you need to (7s without getting hit to start regenerating shield, 2s for it to fully regenerate) but if you're not at that point yet then it's not as beneficial for you
oh wait theres a trans transcendence emoji??


Tuff
that is so tuff

I passed the autism test with flying colors
Also i feel like i need clarification on this
Ifrits makes it so you deal fire damage right
no sorry you aren't allowed ANY clarification
yeah it almost completely trivializes a lot of what makes eclipse difficult as a whole
every time you hit something it applies a burn based on the damage of the attack
it makes you an elite aspect so you have a fire trail and you can apply burn yeah
and you also leave a fire trail
So tanks would buff that then right?
yes
ignition tank? yes
i had a run just now actually where i had an ifrit's and two ignition tanks and i was melting everything
I knew stacking 100 ignition tanks was why i was killing everything the other day
holy shit thats a baller emote im sorry mr hoopoo i was not familiar with your game
this is maybe a little overkill
im not sure if ignition tank stacks that well? you only really want 1 at a time, maybe 2?
tbh, I believe that eclipse is meant to help learn how to play a char and how to item macro.
In the run from earlier today i stacked 400 
its literally mr macro himself i'd listen to him
I don't even know why
eclipse is meant to be for masochists
said no one ever
that´s not my name..
skill issues confirmed
said losmobol
Also this isn't overkill
well, ignition tank is 4x burn damage, then 7x, then 10 etc, so the first one increases your burn by 400% but then the next one is only a 175% increase from the previous value, and the one after that is only ~143% and so on - so if you build into other items that multiply your damage they'll be far more effective than just one extra ignition tank after the first few
im more concerned with the how than the why
you didnt even press a button what the FUCK
HGAHASHASHAHAGHAGHA
why do you have 11 crit glasses
ror2 really only has two type of players
canon commando loadout
gotta get the 110% crit trust
I was confused because duplicator
three types of people
Wait
they have 120
lol waste of space tbh
they also have scythe and prinstincts which both increase crit by 5%
I started a run with duplicator and ended up getting 4 predatory instincts yesterday
Not the inventory space
if you have sots try grabbing 3 longstanding solitudes and a brittle crown btw :3
We will never logistically recover from having an 11th crit glasses
No point really it was a SSCRP run
what does that mean
Sacrifice
Swarms
Command
Rebirth
Prestige
i did not know that was an abbreviation at all
ew command
I just abbreviate all my artifacts in one big thingymajig
you also had honor for some reason?
haters gonnahate ngl
was it wov value
yeah I dont even have it unlocked
Rebirth item was SW
rng is like half the game to me
oh no somebody is playing the game in a way they enjoy!!
What a helpful way to communicate 💔
welcome to roguelikes
Thanks
I like playing with SSDDGCDJAIAJSSBAHZJKXND
what the FUCK
oh no i cant have an a opinion
minor spelling error
opinion invalidated grrrr
Artifact of Xenophobia
Having an enemy onscreen makes you take damage over time
Hold on this would low-key be funny
oh no my english is broken
Or another player who's acrid or heretic
you are just so much smarter than me
artifact of xylophone
you get a cool xylophone yayyy!!!
dude its a joke chill
i find command boring too personally but there's no need to be rude about someone else's preference
bro are you kidding me
no? why would i
I wouldn't play a run with Command for fun but I'm very glad it exists to make achievement getting more bearable
CCDDDDEEFGHKMPRSSSSV runs are very fun
idk i think you saying "minor spelling error" was pretty serious and you should be ashamed of yourself 🙄
if you cant take heat, get out of the kitchen
im sorry i take it back please dont kill me 😭
you obv cant read sarcasm
Artifact of valence electrons
Everything blows up
i know i cant 🔥
no duh sherlock
Artifact of artifact of artifact of artifact
Artifact
Artifact of museum
In museum
mr macro have you considered how you can optimise your social macro by respectmaxxing
of
of
get an executive card and make sure you dont max it out!
An anticonflict kindnesspilled respectmaxxer??
holy slang
Is Artifact of Devotion +
still busted?
This is good news
We can finally of of
We can art artifacts
cecil! help me on mithrix cecil!!!
I made an artifact mark
Mithrix is getting the world's most expensive nosebleed 🥹
There should be a survivor that spends taxpayer money to fight
"coming in hot!" mithrix hammer slam
That's the crowdfunder lore right
Get someone from that
A character where every ability costs money to use
The Bursar
real money preferably
noooo my bank account nooo
EA character
$100 to start the run with them
$0.99 to skip the fee on a chest
Or you can watch an ad
if you don't live in the usa you have to move there because it only takes usd
just get one of those free converters
surely they can do from euro to usd like how they do png to jpeg right
captain is a retired military admiral so... maybe he counts?
i don´t think diablo strike is cheap
yeah but he doesnt spend a dime most of the time
My tax money is going towards those diablo strikes
i´d be proud to know my tax money is going towards pillar skips in commencement
I forgot i got Diablo strikes on captain
i still need to unlock diablo's
whats the easiest way to do it cuz like istg i had a couple of captain runs and its as if those things do no damage
Diabolical strike
how low does mithrix have to be
In gonna stack a bunch of After burners and start trying to obliterate my friends next time we play
fairly low, my advice is to save them both and not take any proc items so if the first one doesn't kill you can fire the second as backup
artifact of swarms gives you an extra chance to land the blow if that helps
that would be a good lore debate tho
I heard you should get the one lunar equipment that throws the crippling totem, that slows him down and increases the damage he takes
And stack a bunch of those so he can't move
movement isnt the issue the damage is

honestly it most likely depends wholly on whether or not UES is a government organization or a private company. Looking a whole lot like a private corporation but who knows
Is it bad that my friend that i introduced the game to not even a week ago is the only Operator main i know
with contact light and safe travels being ftl capable ships
and we know that ftl capable ships are a rare sight in world
UES prolly has a monopoly on the tech and does work for the government
it is private
Imagine if it's like the DEIC 💔
i feel that "mains" are flawed when it comes to ror2?
He only plays operator
i have yet to decide who my mains are im giving all of them a fair shot until i decide
its not like ssbu where you stick to 2 characters and master them
I'm not even kidding he hasn't touched anyone else
but operator is one of my favorites to play so far
you have a pool of 18 that you can alternate with
that's ok
He has everyone besides rex i think
unlike ror1 rorr, there are no item unlocks behind survivor challenges
i dont necessarily have a main character as i can do well with all of them but i like acrid so :3
so if he likes the perator that is mighty fjne
Average match with him
lole
gearbox please patch this shit yesterday
that devlog better have a bug fix patch or else
i know not to grab grounded enemies but sometimes it either happens or accident or i just dont know that a fucking beetle guard??? is a grounded enemy for some reason??
I should probably get the rex mastery so i never have to touch it again
so i accidentally set myself on a powerpoint and have to tab out of the game
I'm willing to bet a rex 8 win with full damaging skills if they announce a patch on the 21th
thats the first thing i did when i unlocked him, beat monsoon first try with him and never again
twenty firth
lisp moment
twenty oneth*
It's 21rd
21nd
the shurikens of doom and despair oml
i would do allat because i want the game to be harder
maybe i should install umbral mithrix
I just chose a feather over a willowisp in a shop and immediately regretted it
not because it wasn't optimal or anything but because I left the little guy in there
Yeeaahhh they still are up to greedy capitalist bs. They did give captain a non rescue ship for a rescue mission
you better learn my name cos its reaaaallyyyy
whats ftl
nah
faster than light
oh totally
Faster than Luigi
even crazier
Or maybe it’s a new ping indicator?
Unless it says it’s a new type somewhere
neat
👀

False son
yo I just got the headstompers and runalds combo
on stage ONE
AS DEFAULT SPECIAL MERC
is there an official wiki?
https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Risk_of_Rain_2_Wiki
could've also found the link in the wiki discussion channel
thank you🙏
I think this is a god run lol
mando with aoe items vs mando with no aoe items
some people only play a couple of survivors 🤷♀️ i have a friend who pretty much exclusively plays seeker
yeah but saying you have a main doesnt really tie with the game
how so?
Looks like a new ping indicator yeah
best way i can explain it is, you can still do well with a character despite not necessarily knowing their kit
unlike with fighting games where the term is used, where you need to learn someone's moveset
and combos etc
looting is common for pretty much every character and run so it really kind of dilutes? the term
a main is just a character you play the most tho, it isn't a term exclusive to fighting games
like take something like isaac, where a lot of the characters are very similar
yeah main refers to just a character you play most often
you can still have a main, and you'll still probably do better on that character than others, there's just more opportunity to apply that character's skillset to other characters
unless
you think main refers to proficiency
which i can also see that
i secretly main engineer
also you can have multiple mains
yeah a main is a character you play most but in the context that is used a lot of the time its like
thats no secret 
"yo this guy mains jigglypuff and hes REALLY good at it"
even then i feel like there's a distinction between main and best character, you can main a character but suck at them and have someone else you barely play who you're better at
Cant wait for thursday
ngl I kinda wanna get into plushie making so I can make fmp in real life
i mean usually theres overlap
time sunk into a character means better at it
yeah maybe its the overlap that im referring to
but if you for example
are good at everyone and spent a lot of hours into everyone
are you maining everyone or maining no one
you main no one because you have equalish experience with all characters
i feel like main also implies a notable gap in playtime between it and a character that isnt a main
i'd argue maining nobody, because having a main implies a character or a few characters that you play more than the others
what if youre insane at every character except one
if you main everyone then you have no main

In terms of fighting games, I main bridget because she is the only one i have sufficiently learned- in terms of other games my main really just means the one I like because I've yet to have a situation where I have to invest so much learning into one character that I'm shit at everyone else
do you main every character except that one
rex isnt real
you have an unmain idk
or do you not main anyone but not main that one even more
this is how i feel in tf2
i play and am solid at maybe
6 classes maybe
Titanfall 2? 
demo, scout, medic
ITS ONLY STIM SMG RAHH
i would argue i main pyro and soldier because thats who i pick most often
but not everyone i dont main is created equal
i dont main medic but can play pretty great medic
i dont main sniper and im awful at sniper
i could argue i main demo and switch to scout and medic depending on the team structure because i have significantly more hours spent on demo compared to literally everyone else
i used to be a heavy main cause tracking makes my brain happy
thats a clear cut main
personally i feel like if you actively play more than like 5 characters in a game and you play them all a similar amount you don't really have mains any more
now i play pretty much anyone
i dont really play medic or pyro all too much
i used to glue myself to huntress but now i diversify a loooot
yeah thats kind of the point im trying to get to, and with the current cast being relatively small? its pretty easy to just not have a main
Team fortress 2

i think calling a character a main or not ends up being pretty surface level
at least in terms of how you play everyone else
Id say a main could also be one youve invested the most time to learn technical skill ex. My pyro
i could say i main modded survivor rocket in ror2
because i pick him the most often
i main commando
imo ror2 survivors are easy enough to play that if you have good macro you'll be able to consistently win on survivors that aren't your main
but that leaves like a seven way tie between everyone else i play often but not as often
track god over here

but you're still gonna find winning more easy on the survivors you're the most used to playing
and deputy
so yeah a fucking 7 way tie
at this point to me you don't really have mains
that's 1/3 of the cast
hard to say lmao

significantly more common than those other survs
hes easily my favorite survivor
this is like, my current fixation rn
i feel like he isn't really a standalone main
the main thing is that ror2 feels a lot more fun when i change characters often
atm

so rocket is by far my favorite yet i constantly swap off him
playing the same character over and over feels like such a slog
yeah i was like that wth huntress
you can have a main that you play more than everyone else sure
now im great at huntress and huntress has rhe most playtime but i wouldnt call myself a huntress main anymore
about half my runs are commando id say
but i cant imagine anyone not getting completely tired of the gameplay loop and switching characters
i love ror2 because i go in like "ugh i really don't want to play this survivor" and then i play this survivor and have a lot of fun without fail every time
since i pick her at around the same frequency as everyone else
I could play commando for 50 hours straight
i could play viend for 50 hours straight maybe
this most consistently happens with rex
acrid too

i dont feel strongly about them then i play and its plenty fun
I hate rex
even some of my 'mains' like merc and drifter i need to be in a certain mood to play
still gotta get on the e8 rex climb
i literally closed the game after my merc win earlier because the next survivor in the list was rex, and i know i'll get into the rex runs and have a blast but i just didn't want to start the run 😭
but when i do its super fun
Drifter is peak rigging
"do i wanna melee or do i want range?"
(i am rotating survs in order for my eclipse climb)
thats the main question i ask myself lmao
i play until im sleepy or my mom tells me to stop 
depending on my mood i might pick merc or acrid or whatever else really
loader acrid rex viend operator heck even engi are good wild card options for me
if i just wanna experience smth different than my usual
loader and acrid are tied on e7 while the rest are varying from e1-e5 lmao
I never play huntress
i never play mult
i never play rex
or captain
i am not there yet lol, i've cleared e2 with the first seven survs and everyone else has only beaten e1
I play captain
i never play heretic
engi i only play if i literally wanna turn my brain off and fall asleep
Captain is peak
or i do some dumbass gimmick like turretless
i literally have more time on heretic than i do rex im pretty sure
L
Had a very very crazy time tonight
Foreign fruit
fucking foreign fruit??
there was a time when i had more wins on heretic than any dlc survivor (i had all the survivors unlocked before i won my one heretic run i just sucked at the game)
what the hell does this mean chat
Foreign fruit is peak
of my modded survivors i makn rocket play a lot of deputy
it means you are a foreign fruit
it helps with blood shrines/void cradles lmao
hunk is for when i realy want a different gameplay experience
me when i'm slightly bigoted and i see a gay person from a different country
and i dont play sniper sorry goobessa
but not much else its like an escape tool kind of thing
waow...
Railgunner with runic lens
calling gay people fruits is strange
fruity
are straight people vegetables
nah theyre just straight

gay people are "fruity" idk
what's fruity? a fruit
overly sweet clearly
idk where fruity came from it's just a thing people say that means gay as an adjective
theres an overlap but its not total
gay people are sweet :3
i know gay people who arent fruity
yea but like
or whatever fruity means
it's a stereotype
anyway ror2 survivors
my best friend is gay and he's the least fruity person i've ever met lol
i have literally only played vanilla content sorry to disappoint
tied with sniper as my least played
i do not like spy's gameplay loop
no i mean literally the spy tf2 in tf2
oh
how many hours
idk like 10? i used to spycrab sometimes
a 3 hour spy and a 40 hour spy as least played tells different stories 
I have like 80 hours with just spy tf2 at least
lmao
also no, i installed tf2, never played it for two years and then uninstalled it
i dont actually remember but i know DAMN well i have >200 on demo
and like 30-40 on scout/medic
im picking up spy rn
it comes from polari i think
Who made this btw
sniper and spy are definitely my least played in serious matches so far
yeah same tbh
i think omega?
followed by engi because theres always smth about his gameplay thats off
i had my uncle dane phase and clocked in some hours on him
on offense trying to keep up my dispenser and teleporter are annoying even if i can use mini sentries
dont necessarily remember how many tho
on defense im met with the entire us explosives treasury
and i dont use the wrangler or short circuit because i respect the enemy team
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
amazing
so engineer ends up either being the most stressful or boring shit ever
foreign fruit
medic is arguably more stressful but i still love his gameplay
i play medic almost exclusively on dustbowl
😭
i swap to medic if i wanna really push
dude its fucking awesome
dustbowl and awesome in the same sentence is not what i expect from someone playing tf2
ok i usually dont like dustbowl
weirdly my fun on dustbowl comes almost entirely from medic
and then sometimes heavy
always gotta be demo
I liked medic because i am bad at aiming
scout doesnt work all that well
+150 crossbows 🤤🤤
any time i see a scout on dustbowl theyre either a fresh install or helping the medic build uber
sonetimes bonk atomic punch
otherwise scout is abysmal on dustbowl
Never got crossbow too ass at video game
theres still medics out there that play with syringe gun?
go try medic on dustbowl
ive tried medic on dustbowl a lot of times
Fresh instal
and hes veeery fun
anywhere else i dont like medic as much
koth medic and some payload maps i enjoy
since teams are more spread out and ubers are less important
I played like years ago
The shooter ive probably played the most is csgo which I am dog ass at
specifically like borneo and brazil
i straigjt up dont play koth lmao
i probably should
other than harvest theres not too many great koth maps
i dont like harvest
it gets old preeetty quick
it got old when i played harvest event during scream fortress bro
snoozefest
Suijin so peal
sniperslop
i really like koth
its aaall sniper slop
Is chat in tf2 mode again?
👀
yeah
perchance...
whats your favorite tf2 weapkn
mine? i dont necessarily have a favourite tbh
cascade, harvest, king, lakeside, megaton, nucleus, sawmill, sharktower, suijin and lazarus are my favs
Heavy’s mini gun that has a fire ring
Can’t spell that name for shit
oh and brazil
lazarus fucking stinks
huo long heater
isnt it the one nuke map?
based pick ngl
thats megaton
which one is lazarus .w.
lazarus was jungle infen
Anyways I must away
Getting back to w*rk
oh its playable
it alright yeah
should i get back into tf2 i dont think ive played in a year or 2 now
gotta practice those demo airshots again 🔥
What the meow
what the woof
mildly dookie shit run
whats the best lunar item for artificer?
just the usual good ones








"good" and tonic together smh my head
"best lunar" and its literally like every lunar ever
euology zero doesnt exist okay
boobessa just named 8
shhhhh...
grrrr
Khexu
oh hewwo vampy
just finished playing subnautica for the first time
didnt knew what to do and i refuse to listen to a guide
I think it’s sleepy time
oh yeah its soon
Meow
I forgot about it but wonder how nice of a change of pace it would be from base drg
theres pillars and other stuff around that you can use to block some of his attacks
for phase 2 hide behind the pillars
doesn't he just go around them
Lets play
I am so washed it's not even funny
why am I this bad at huntress
had a perfect e1 run a while back with huntress and somehow died to these guys
APPARENTLY they have a oneshot orb attack that tracks you through the whole stage
huntress kinda just does that sometimes
as in dies
havent touched huntress after that
When does dlc/more news on dlc drop?
I better get a plasma shrimp
500 defiant gouges
praying I fail the chance shrine 4 or 5 times with gouge
Huntress is fun
Until you have to deal damage
"Glass cannon"
she is fun but she can
suffer
lowest hp but also low damage for some reason
carried by ballista
doesn't help she also has to get close up and personal for a lot of her damage
huntress mains when they switch to a different survivor and they actually start doing damage
rip
some of the survivors could use some number tweaks or buffs but we know it won't happen anytime soon if ever
like blight vs poison
Huntress m1 is probably one of the worst m1s in the game
Yeah sure it's agile but engies m1 is also agile and it does significantly more damage
❌
isnt engies m1 like one of the best
Engie m1 haters haven't learned how to actually use it
hello
half of commando is good 😭
commando has some of the highest m1 damage 
pistol that shoots bullets that tickle enemies
my favourite m1 is chef
his proc coeff saves him so much
specially yes chef m1
600% per second
that is potent
14 damage aint that bad when your shooting quickly
talking early
thats more than uncorrupted drown for example
tbf
uncorrupted drown is an infinite range laser beam with absolutely no falloff that also slows things
i do love regular drown
flame bolt is around 320% dps
Me when it deals damage faster than engie m1 but it it's a sustain fire non-agile m1 so you're stuck in place unable to move quickly in the dodge shit and move fast video game
Dev diary in 3 days is hype
i think captain primary is really good
buuut that has infinite range
skill issue™
I've had a similar feeling abt huntress as I do commando
they're both perfectly capable of winning the game consistently but depending on what items you get that can get a LOT harder
yeah uncorrupted drown is great in its own right
i hope they add jack black to the game
I had no idea abt the dev diary
funny enough railgunner m1 does more damage than huntress and arti m1
just that it cant crit and has shit range
Hello
hello
Next dlc seems so cool
🧀
4x100% with a 1.0 coeff
Don’t know why it isn’t mentioned in announcements but
Me when engie without his turrets is probably more mobile than commando and likely deals more damage because engineer actually has abilities that don't deal damage comparable to a peashooter and he's able to run while charging his m1 unlike commando.
May 21 .???
wouldn't going just by dps be a bit dishonest though? since arti's whole thing is burst damage
yes
Yup
They're working quick wow
Nasti banner and RoR2 dev diary fighting over may 21
people just underestimate the damage of huntress and railgunner m1 a lot
i hope they will balance more the dlc
and commando as well for some reason
AC is cool but the enemies are so tough
boutta be a good friday
It’s just the first dev diary of probably 3-4
Based on the dev diaries for sots and AC
I think there might be 6-7 
operator is 3x150% for 450% dps which is funny enough not much better than railgunner
Thursday
obviously its a way better m1 but whatever
Holy shit you are so funny
Oh my god limbus update is also on the 21st
visionary
Where did you learn to be this funny
developers on their way to put every single release in the same day for absolutely no reason
From nowhere, everybody has learned from me 
are you the original funny person
Yes it is I
The original funny person
i cant wait for the dev diary to just be them mocking us for requesting bugfixes
holy shit
Please be true
It would be so funny
it would be so awesome
looks like we are getting a new item type though
We have heard your complaints about Faraday Spur and we have a response
In the next dev diary!
