ok but like why wouldnt you make a room as big like that tho
the teaser
What teaser?
Has there been a bunch of stuff that I just completely missed?
the hallowed concepts teaser twinanem
pretty sure yea 💔
I've been keeping up with the shorts and videos, and I don't remeber any of the official announcement trailers explicitly stating we were only getting two
lemme check if its on the youtuube hol uop
its on the steam page for the dlc
they explicitly mention 2 survivors
yurp
Ah I hadn't thought to check there
That trailer does not mention new character amounts at all
I just rewatched it
oh i just assumed it was the one didnt actually watch it, steam page must be the thing im thinking bout
Twinnamon roll😭
the steam page specifically says two survivors but it's true that the trailer doesn't say it anywhere
i'm sure they'll state it in the diary airing tomorrow too
Marbel mosmic binbasin
inject shapez 2 in my veins
I finally understand why trains in factory games are awesome
ac had 3
Dont forget Robomando
ac had 3 escape pods in the trailer
oh wait
oops you were talking ab escape pods 💔
they always just do that cuz they're always showing off multiplayer
do you have direct communications with mr gearbox
can you tell them to not do that anymore i think two escape pods is good enough
wait I can't find where it says 2 new survivors on the steam page
but I swear I also remember it saying that
oh wait yeah I did find it
I also did have the impression at first for three survivors from the trailer at first 😢
SotS also stated only two new survivors before devotion update leaked false son
damn fr
well I don't think it's that likely this time around since... well sots had all the stuff going on so yk
this is untrue i believe
the sots steam page simply stated "survivors"
before it was updated and all that
the first official mention of the quantity was in the announcement of dd3 for sots
oh but I'm just happy that we're getting more n'kuhana lore 😛
huuuuge
i am begging on my fucking knees i want the red plane to be the next one
if this game´s update cycle ends and we don´t get the red plane i will die
I have this fear that the red plane could never be fully realized on the ror2 foundation
maybe? It is pretty groundbreaking lorewise that teleportation technology is the game´s main calling card and the imps can just.. do it biologically
solus transporters also do it funny enough
that´s alien technology it makes sense
solus is alien?
are they not an alien species of mechanical eyeballs
alien to petrichor at the very least
I mean so are we and everything there but the golems
huh. so that´s why sots was basically all about the golems
but yeah solus as a faction is invasive like imps
but idk of solus is alien to humans or if it's human tech
humans in universe have some dope tech
but idk if anything confirms it
reaalll
Hiiii
sup
yum
i mean ig it's never confirmed but it definitely seems more like an independent collective than a human creation
I guess that would make them.. and alloyed collective
i mean it could have went from one to the other
say that again fantastic 4 movie gif
what if instead of solus it was sogup and they were. all gups
Origins just isn’t something that ror2 seems to like doing and i guess that’s whatever
youre 
magnificent run
Idk if y'all know this
But in the acrid cult we have a lil smt called the black list
And the white list
The white list contains everyone that calls us a goodboy
And the black list is for huntress mains
i hate to be that gal (i don´t) but
do you yourselves require to be called good boys or are the compliments supposed to be for acrid
i find the distinction to be pretty important
What
Why are all of my godruns on this character
was doing a gup run and it was gupping GREAT but i paused after teleporting to get a drink and i unpause and its broken. modded is awesome
Ultimate meal
false son and true daughter when unobjective child walks in
Anyways I've started using step of the brothers again it's kinda peak
the only thing we know about the Solus is that they’re from Solus X and they’re all incredibly sassy
Step upwards into Club Slam my goat
also it’s REALLY good against tightly clumped enemies
as the 200% damage per enemy is an explosion
Evil explosion on hit
I prefer meridians will just because I find it makes dealing with groups of flying enemies easier
That's literally it lol
There's some universe where step is even more fucked up and the explosions create copies of themselves on hit so clumped up groups are just guaranteed to die
Just teleport on top of one and wham
Meridian’s Will is growth bullshit and is otherwise just okay as an ability
Step feels much better
"why do i always win on the best character in the game"
Not for flying enemies it doesnt
200% damage is useless when the enemies are spread apart
GAHAHAHAHA THAT´S THE BEST ONE SO FAR
Whereas again with mw you can teleport on top of 1 and it just drags them all together
subjective offspring
Maths
I use Meridian’s Will because it’s just cool as shit
That too
Dont care about the temporary stat benefits, i love that damn teleport with the lightning strike following it
newer ROR2 players will never comprehend the horror of release False Son fight
I can do the teleports behind you "nothing personal, kid" thing in game
oh it was still in reply oh well
but yeah the laser during the fight used to come from the False Son himself
not the monument
mind you this did not stop anything else he was doing or could do
so he would fight as normal and simultaneously be lasering you
i love that it´s named prime meridian. Prime Meridian is a saying that means the exact 0 point from which all measurement of the planet´s surface is done
the exact 0,0,0 coordinates
and that´s fucking badass
it’s where Mithrix wanted to build monuments to him, his brother, and her
only one was constructed
yeah. I love that he built his brother´s statue first. They disagreed on everything, but he really did love him.
is that online desync bug fixed yet
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A WALKING SOCK
yeah bro whats up
you aren´t real
this isn’t confirmed but I love this headcanon
i mean where are the other statues right
i mean theres no way he didnt love him
assuming the other statues were never finished, providence´s has got to have been built first as a surprise gift. Just look at prime meridian´s log entry
Mithrix offered to give the Designs to Providence
we know that, i´m just saying it´s a very heartwarming gesture that shows off that affection in a tangible way
oh yeah certainly. excellent example of show dont tell
even though the lore writes it out too LOL
i mean it does yeah but nobody´s expected to read the logs before going to the stage
truth nuke
the log only serves to set it in stone
even if Mithrix cannot understand his brother, he still loves him
it makes Providence’s betrayal so much more heartbreaking
they’re simply two beings who cannot coexist
as necessary as it was for the betrayal to happen, it was still betrayal
mithrix was too dangerous if allowed the luxury of teleportation across planets now that he could create freely
but their bond was real and it shattered irreparably
i do wonder if anything would change had he been aware of providence´s death when it came to pass
if the grief would have stopped the growing resentment over the millenia
he likely would’ve been struck with immense grief and then enraged
yeah but definitely not at him
waging war on those that killed his brother
like good luck taking your anger out on the dead
i think a lot about one of his death quotes
"Brother.. maybe we´ll get it right.. next time."
Reincarnation? Is that a thing in this universe? Is it something cyclopses are explicitly capable of?
that would certainly explain why the dlc that invoked providence most strongly had the altar of rebirth
cool
no talks of reincarnation that I know of
command makes this challenge so free
If only that mode had more stuff
The child is the most annoying enemy I’ve seen in my life, I just wanted to say that
Just it does so much damage if absolutely no reason
How am I playing false son with more then 2000 health but I get done in by this by being hit once
wee
SOTS is my absolute favorite DLC but I am happy to admit the enemy department is lacking
The survivors are all really really fun and I care more about survivors anyway
imagine being someone who hates children in real life and playing risk of rain and having to hate children in the videogame too
cosmic ghost rider gaming
2 mid ass reds back to back
how often are you getting 10
Ah fair I usually play with command
you cannot convince me this is not inspired by the encrypted portal area (with the crafting station i forgot what its called)
Where is that from?
genshin impact
this sort of thing just happens
sometimes two things that seem like they correlate pop up around the same time and are entirely unrelated
also square terrain in a simulation-esque space isn’t exactly the newest concept
yayyyyyyyy
the married couple :)
maybe I should get the mod that makes REX self damage not count towards E8 curse
it would just be more fun that way
this is just the mid red run ig
ok but the boss has an attack where he swipes across the screen with a white wall
i dont think im supposed to be able to see that chain
Hollywood also made two movies about the same concept at the same time that were totally unrelated
twice
that I know of
No I mean I get absurdly lucky
I NEVER get ultimate meal
Especially with a fucking atg printer
you of all people just now unlocking REX is like a genuine shock to my heart
And runic lens like
im on a new save dw :)
Runic Lens is so funny
it has an artificial cap that only one meteor can be spawned at a time
except it also has no limit on proc chains
you could theoretically have an infinite chain with it
truly one of the items ever
there it is. my first death on this save
Bro died
what a first item
YOOOOOO THREE HEALTH FROM SUPERCHARGE
I wonder what survivor has the best default loadout
Probably viend his alt loadout sucks
like compared to alt kit or just in general
i went to die town and everyone knew you
Both ig
Acrid
Why not have an answer for both
They really did give acrid straight ass for alts
there are quite a bit of fiction stories of a self reproducing ai left in space that built itself an empire
the most that we have is they are from solus x
humans have colonies on other planets
and isn't farfetched to have colonies on other systems given the size of our space vessels
even if ftl is somewhat rare in world
for the latter it's seeker because seeker is seeker, and for the former it's probably acrid? had to think about it for a bit but compared to blight and frenzied leap, default kit is much better (bite and neurotoxin are both good but neurotoxin is probably also better idk)
wee
bite is awesome tho
but is it Neurotoxin
no, but it is bite
this is true
the recognizer
the realizer
i cant wait for the marvel tokoning
theres 4 events coming up where they could reasonably reveal new stuff
I can't wait for tomorrow where uhhh ummm
Man if only some kind of event was happening tomorrow at 1pm
the event is me going to work :)
would be really cool if something did happen
im also going to work actually
yoooo
the workening
guys new DLC just dropped called Survivors of the Void
what if captai n could
Spongebob big guy captain okay
The real buff captain needs
like pressing R would open a 4 section radial menu
and you could choose any of the 4 beacons
but still limited for 2 per stage
because it doesn't make sense that captain went down to the planet
and can only call 2 beacons he chose before going down
that would be pretty cool I think
would lean a lot more into him being half utility and half firepower
yeah
that'd be cool but wouldnt you still prefer double hacking like 99% of the time
well that's on you right
he has all the tools to support the run when it’s needed
i guess healing/shocking is good for mithrix?
shocking is good for all the regular stages
you can just trap a bunch of enemies in it and either diablo them or just leave them there
and make the stage easier by slashing the amount of enemies that can spawn
and actually bring situations where ressuply could be have more thought
recycler macro 🤤
Risk of pain 2...
let's play
railgunner
aside from bands these items are really rough
good run
i think in this case its a timer issue
your looting speed seems to be a bit slow for the number of items you possess
i am playing rather slow true
when push comes to shove rely on those drones
Yeah that looks fine
for the item count its not good at all
When taking into account the amount of drones there
then maybe its the 3 scrapped greens and that bands are easily overestimated if it feels bad
wow
BEST BUDDY
what is the antonym for buddy
if only i was commando
opposer
limon jumpscare
worst opp lmao
You are commando
Fool
Just use your primary
Embrace shitty mando
atg, three mochas, gas, wdym
Yeah I think best buddy needs another AI fix
if i see those items on rg I smile because both bands and atg is nice
He's genuinely pretty strong when he actually attacks anything
and gas is very nice
aside from the trying to hit something in the air and locking out it's fine
you see theres this thing called the timer that makes the game a lot rougher than you expect it to be even when you have good items
the hitbox is the bigger problem
I'm well aware ac
I've seen buddy not attack anything too many times
even with the timer being at 25 minutes that's totally fine though
me too
I've also seen him get stuck in the attack animation on the ground
best buddy is a pacifist :)
Not moving at all
the "sit and look cute" behavior is annoying and unhelpful
I've seen him slide off of enemies and not do damage
if best buddy had good ai and a correctly aligned hitbox....
the problem is apparently it has a skill that makes it just bounce up and down that it uses occasionally
Sometimes he even feels like he's avoiding me purposefully so I can't proc fireworks from him
i had best buddy putting in some work attacking gups and geep yesterday
its actually solid under the right conditions
it sure does have a skill like that
a thing they intentionally coded it to use even during combat
it just sucks at tracking things down
oh yeah
Best buddy is genuinely one of my favorite items but man he's implemented poorly
when I was messing around playing as orphaned core I found the hop nice for hitting enemies sometimes but the ai doesn't use it in a helpful way
all is fine when you full loot
sure
he did already clear the tele at this point
yeah
solid start
i will be using this
I GOT AN AEGIS
yooooo nice shield
What's a good void item name for a corrupted gasoline?
Diesel
I have a theory for what it could be. yet I already thought of a name
ok Dyno is broken for some odd reason
THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT
nice
GG
Literally 100% proc rate on supercharged shot
starting to understand what people mean by ac enemies having no weight or whatever it means to be spawned 20 billion times
I forget the exact numbers let me see
he has been all day i think
I remember I think it was earlier today we were trying to do !paul and it wouldnt work
9% x 40
cryo is 4.5% x 20 (now I need to check)
Reload bonus applies to the charge shots too though right
yeah but I do alt m2.
no !paul...
Ew
yeah anyway the general idea is that AC enemies have weirdly low weights (or costs? I don’t remember which) for how much they do
most of them are weighted like common enemies
Also the weak point damage for supercharged shot probably would count if the chance wasn't already 100% lol
me when solus distributors are 20 credits.....
low costs mean more
transporters are ten times the cost of distributors btw
wouldn’t this be higher due to Overspill
time to unlock el viendo
gl
you don't wanna do wave 50 of simulacrum? 
What do scorchers cost
a weird number that i cant remember
nevermind it would be lower
Please make scorchers slower bro 🥹
he just whipped out the super laser
distributors are like
the ultimate gasoline check
Scorchers are so funny
scorchers cost 18 credits
they’re not as dangerous as people think they are but they’re still INCREDIBLY annoying
pests cost 15
They're the most annoying enemy ever
wisps cost 10
They have too much health for how fast they are
i feel like scorchers could have been 20 credits
I wonder if procco affects Runic Lens chances before or after Overspill is accounted for
if it’s before that’s insanely broken
or well no I suppose it would be after
sorry I’m only half here
I'd imagine it calculates the chance then applies proc coefficient
meh
if it applied before, it would make low proc attacks disproportionately better with Runic Lens
if it applied after, it would make most attacks much better than you would think
pretty good set
and based on how often Rens goes off, I wanna say it’s this
gasoline is doing everything
kerosene
also does it increase chance and damage in steps per 100% damage dealt or does it increase it linearly and it’s just a clean representation of what it’s doing
chance in damage lol
ok what I mean by this is
let’s assume I have an attack doing 50% damage
does that increase chance by 1.5% and damage by 75% or does it not
or does it only increase in increments of 100% damage dealt
Probably increments
bands are doing next to nothing
its all crowbars
after i believe
once every new proc chain is my guess
what I meant by that (part 2) was
Anyone know if the new deeprock rouge like is fun
I see it's mixed on steam but a lot of those negative reviews seem like people who simply aren't rouge like players
I can see things like a run timer being annoying if you don't play many rouge likes but I'd since ror2 is my favorite game I'm wondering what people here think
Runic Lens has a base 3% proc chance and adds 3% chance per 100% damage dealt
if I theoretically have an attack that does 500% damage, that would make the chance 18%
now let’s say that attack has a 2.0 proc, does that only multiply the initial 3% or the added chance as well
it’s likely the latter
they did artificially cap the proc chance at 50%
so strong enough attacks aren’t gonna proc a meteor every time
they’re just very likely to
oh wow
I forgot they capped it
FAAAA
Boring
the damage is also capped at 7500%
Boring
somebody help me
Make runic lens more s tier please
LET IT RIDE!
i created god again
Is this cap bypassed by proc coefficient though
good question, the easiest way to check this
does Supercharge proc Rens every time
Someone can probably just test it with commands
no the chance hard caps at 50% iirc
Mornin
thats so lame
Wiki says 75%
although i do think bc of the 3.0 proc coef it does hit 100%
there was a question about if procco bypassed the chance cap
and that was the method I gave to confirm or debunk that
if procco bypassed the chance cap, Supercharge would proc Runic Lens every time
couldn't you just check by giving yourself 90 million billion purities
I'm not doing a full run for that
I think I once actually got an unlucky void cell stage with eulogy making every enemy have 17 shaped glasses and another time with 17 stone fluxes
do they even move with 17 stoneflux
oh damn they increased it
i'm going back to rivals mane this rain is too risked
out of all the SOTS reds I don’t think that was the one that needed a buff :)
nono it needed it trust
Do you think earth in the ror2 universe has good public transport worldwide yet
not risking it hard enough
absolutely not 😭

War Bonds has swag though
war bonds is very good
it’s also ludicrously strong
it's at like 4 risks rn
too tootoo tooooo!!
im only at 2
what it does is very niche, but it’s REALLY good at it
nuke
and they already buffed it, giving it icbm synergy for god knows what reason
war bonds is funny
war bonds is so nuts if u full clear every stage oml
i love the horn toot before it procs
Did you end up obliterating on stage one?
this is stupid
I remeber you got the portal message for it
GOD DAMN IT
Hes not for console players that don't have max sensitivity
Wrong. I am weak. I play mercenary. You are simply too strong.
if you didnt have six gas i would said to go all in for the funny
I'm like relatively decent at merc but I still hate him
are you strong because you are mercenary or are you mercenary because you are strong
honestly four ignition tanks is overkill you could anyway
You have mantis blades that doesnt count
yes
I can't play aggro merc lol I have to play like a bitch
i got 8
merc is lowkey dash away from the fight simulator
I'M SORRY MAN, I DON'T LIKE GORILLA ARMS
Eviserate is cool if I scrap all my drones to use it
not the gasoline
this made me so sad i had dios n everything idk y i js died instantly
possibly,,,, maybe im like the strongest
i wanted to get his skins mane
Throw of the century
IDK WHAT HAPPENED
What were you doing mate
ICMB doubles War Bonds damage
it’s pretty overkill but War Bonds is already overkill anyways
so idrc, more swag for War Bonds
an interesting aspect is that it’s damage is based off the total boss health
meaning if you have a teleporter event with multiple bosses, it will treat all of them as one boss and do way more damage per enemy
also it’s damage scales with your damage items
because it wasn’t overkill enough
triple S tier item for prestige runs
We need a character that plays a board game. Instead of seekers rhythm game, we need a pirate to drop bombs from the sky and the way you do it is by viewing the map youre on like you're playing battleship
Captain 2.0
captain if he was awesome
Captain if he did anything other than run around and shoot his primary
Playing as crazy Dave in garden warfare 1
Elite ball knowledge
still felt worse than my rush runs
Box of Dynamite and engi turrets pair well. especially with focus crystal
I nearly forgot
thank god the stunning makes it more effective with the bands for them
shit
Burn them
I think if you place the turrets near them and do a huge burst of damage with the rest of your kit, you should be fine as long as you take cover
assuming they don’t die immediately
you know… with the
and 3 
ah
i killed it, but it pulled me to hell with it
did you take a lot of overheat
bummer
Artifact of command L damn
yeah you just gotta be out of line of sight of the sun
shady spots will appear to show you exactly where is safe
why are you slamming on command
one of the cool aspects of ROR2 is when a build comes together through decisions you’ve made over the course of your run
Command nullifies that aspect of the game
it’s a bit sour for a lot of people
no it doesn't
it's not like you can just give yourself items with command, you have to find the loot to choose it, and then there's still the issue that you might not get the desired item rarity
I used to be the command player and man the game is so boring with it on
Its a free win every time
your build is still being tailor made into being as perfect as you want it to be
not
there is no strategy
Lol no it is
yes there is
you make an overpowered build and you win
then i shouldn't have lost
I could play a command game rn and instakill everything by stage 3
the strategy is “I get enough mobility so that I’m comfortable with never being hit and then I go all in on one of many damage builds”
It gets boring
and you get to pick which one you get
with no risk of you not getting said build
you basically can just create the perfect build with command, compared to a normal run where you just kinda take what you can get- maybe you'll find a good printer but you're still weighing your options unless your stuff is so bad that you're willing to go completely all in
but like, does it matter? if you have fun with command you have fun with command
all I'll really ever argue is that command loses a bit of the strategy and quick thinking the game asks of you
i just ask that people not slam on something i enjoy just because they can't find fun in it
I agree with that
As long as you're having fun
if you wanna go command and make a crazy build then go nuts
I wonder why ghors tome was picked with sacrifice on
figuring out what items do?
Maybe maybe
i enjoy fighting and striving against a diverse range of attacks being thrown at me without having the issue of not having the items to fight back
i pick it bc i like the sound gold nuggets make in this game
:3
it's instant dopamine
Command is entirely strategy
Theres little tactics tho
Tactics as in thinking on the fly
Adapting the plan to situations it wouldnt otherwise work in
Or shifting gears entirely
i actually have to think on the fly sometimes if i'm not finding the item rarities i'm looking for
Well a lot of people conflate the two even when their brain isnt fried
Not hard to see where the confusion comes from
I just like distinguishing it so its easier to communicate what we actually mean
btw i see a lot of people assuming i'm the kind of engineer who just runs around trying not to get hit while my turrets do the job, but i'm actually a very hostile engineer
i cant with this fuckass interactable ❤️
i like the thrill of dispatching enemies myself
Another Engineer with no chill
i am an axton main on borderlands 2
Hell yes
it comes with the territory
I feel like all engi players should use their primary but for some reason I see people running around doing nothing as him
🔥
Im the engineer whos beaten the elder lems on aqueduct in under 10 minutes
i wonder why, the primary is actually incredibly easy to aim
Odd phenomenon where people convince themselves that doing nothing is the right play on engi because he has a "bad primary"
i don't get people who say engi m1 is bad
I spam mines at least
its just quirky
it's not even bad, people just have terrible aim
Its a bit slow cumbersome and clunky
Spam mines use primary sometimes use harpoons
Harpoons feel like they're more for long range
you don't wanna aim straight with engi, you either hold down primary fire while aiming up or shoot in quick succession while facing the ground
Its perfectly fine if you understand the plan tho
if an enemy is right in front of you, then you aim straight
people see "engineer can reliably do damage without constantly shooting" and interpret that as "play engineer like a dodging simulator"
i actually find myself doing more damage than my turrets a lot of the time
real
If an enemy is in front of you then you hold m1 and rush them down
If an enemy is behind you then you drop a mine in front of you and continue forward anyway
btw, getting behemoth with engi is really fun, your explosions are more explosive and it's noticeable
Oh yeah engineer gets up to 180% more damage from behemoth on m1
Button olympics
explosive harpoons is fun too
👋
Direct hits deal a bonus 120% bc the collision explodes as well as the explosion explodes
And you can bounce a mine at an enemy’s feet before a direct for another explosion
I prefer pressure mines
I like fucking with enemy ai and making them move how i want so the 900% really pays off quite often
pressure mines are awesome
i'm too active in combat to place pressure mines strategically, but spider mines do the thinking for me
I dance around an elder lem while a bunch of mines arm and then lead him to his death
i did not realize i was talking to a sadist
Or i realize theres just enough time if i stand still so i drop a shield plop some mines down wait a sec and bail
Im good with traps
Its a good thing the enemies are really dumb and predictable and not real players or i might actually have a hard time playing this way
it seems our playstyles are way more different
i like going in on big enemies, blasting them with my primary, watching my health drop and jumping into my turret bungus halo
Yeah I dont like taking much damage
engi is a self-made bulletsponge
I used to be more like the engineer who just runs in a circle while my turrets do everything
Mostly bc there were way too many cases where i ended up dying pretty much instantly
i'm still experiencing that pretty often
but i only have 41.1 hours total in the game, i'll get better
I started learning how to build defense well and fear death less now
HOW IN THE WORLD DOES A VOID CRADLE NATURALLY SPAWN WHEN I HAVE SACRIFICE AND NO VOID SEED
leave me alone
That and my movement and awareness has refined to a point that its fairly easy for me to not get hit by things that actually matter
Ive done turretless too
i should do an engineer build where i have to take every item of an item rarity before i can take more
Well the one thing I highly recommend for engineer is tougher times
i take it often
can't wait to get void items
i'm fortunate enough to have friends who i multiplayer with who have the dlcs so i can have a preview to the items, and i definitely like polylute and needletick
Eh the one thats probably most useful for engineer is needletick
Shrimp has a special synergy with infusion on engineer tho
Every kill restores a tiny bit of shield for turrets with it
Which keeps the shrimp active longer than youd expect
i love going charged perforator with polylute
Pluripotent larva also gives turrets an extra life like dios does but also allows turrets to use both uncorrupted and corrupted items
Bc of the corrupted revive
yea, i've tried that, it's not very consistent but fun when it happens
Its neat at least
i kinda dislike it bc that means no bungus halo
Oh right lysate cell gives engineer a 3rd turret
No more than that tho
You can hold more but can only have 3 out
i'm gonna have to get r2modman after all
Its fine bc 2 turrets is already pretty great
3 is already pushing absurdity
if i'm picking lysate cell and going through the trouble of picking fuel cells, i should be allowed more turrets
there's definitely a mod for that
There is
Gang who is that
Am I cooked
yes
Ally limits exist for a reason #ror2-discussion message
If this appeals to you go ahead tho
It was funny when it happened
is that the old strike drone sprite?
No. No not quite

Me and my beautiful chud son

I feel washed
this was the third attempt
in the second mithrix slapped my left buttcheek and air comboed into pizza and I fucking died instantly
hi
hes green because he can be placed there 💚
2 more e6's till I have done em all
fsn are you a enemy level knower
hi
sup
:D
hi
i know many things
acrid is so annoying yet amazing to play
2 + 2 4
idk why
tack factory
nice crater
do you happen to know if an enemy at level 20 at stage 3 would have the same stats if they were level 20 at stage 4, or even 5
im pretty sure level is what increases the stats not stage itself, stage increases level I think
not sure but i wouldnt assume so
im not sure though
amazing
yep
p shre they would be the same but the later stages would have that enemy go past 20 faster
but idr if the stage itself has an effect on enemy stats
you mean the difficulty slider goes faster on later stages?
yeah
im 99% sure of this
I wanna do a google sheet calculator for enemy scaling
afaik if you want to know the precise level of an enemy at a given time you need the times when you enter a new stage for every stage that run
what a run
not just the time of a run
i knew it was set when i got 18 items from stage 1
or stage count
so like, the enemy scaling would be different if I reach for exemple
if you have an hour long run
spend 10 minutes on each stage
vs if you have an hour long run but you spend 40 minutes on stage 1 and blitz through the rest
my humble take is that lurst doesnt even feel atrociously busted at the beginning of the run its how fucking busted the second you get one (one) extra stock
the level you end up with would be different
stage 5 at 45min
stage 1 was 20min
stage 2 was 30min
stage 3 was 40min
stage 4 was 42min
stage 5 at 45min
stage 1 was 10mim
stage 2 was 15min
stage 3 was 20min
stage 4 was 30min
one infusion one mildly leveled prayer beads on pearl one lysate cell four steaks
basically
such a cheap and easy extra stock to get that spikes your power so much
at least im p sure
wouldn't you reach a point that enemy level would increase every some seconds or so
even with the cap being 99
level scaling speed is only affected by stage count i think
so if you dillydally on stage 1 it wont even go that high
but each stage also multiplies the current level by some amount when you enter it
so smaller differences in level early on are magnified to an extent
with looping levels can go crazy fast too yeah
interesting
i need to hit my enemies with the rubiconian handshake
does scaling speed also increase
i assume it would
lemme skewer a beetle
i wonder if this applies to stuff like prime meridian 
the figurer
thing is, is gilded coast worth the 15% difficulty increase for aurelionite and 4 extra items
lowkey no
i kinda just never knew it had a difficulty% increase because i dont pay attention to the stage count
most of my runs ive picked up aurelionite recently i guess i made it harder for myself?
seems like a gamble unless you have sale star or something but even then
time doesnt pass in gilded coast still
yeah but the stage count does
im too lazy to do any sort of experimentation myself 
solus heart and voidling
Son
i wanna see all the son images but with false son instead
wdym
gilded coast increases difficulty?
how were you holding 3 equipment
false SON 😭😭😭
functional coupler
hold 1 extra equipment (+1 per stack)
oh ik but you only had one of them
meaning you should only be able to hold 2 equipment right
ohh
Son...
sonion
soncrates
faulty sonductor
ive done false son route like twice ever :d
also W ending screen lol
false...
might be concocting the worst heresplitatom challenge yet
sticky bomb stacking being your only hope ❤️
factual
isnt it crazy that you could just pick seeker and do an itemless run and win
just learned that the item blacklist mod makes me type
every single item manually
theres one which lets you disable them in the artifacts menu
What the fuck is the line for banned and not banned
I do not comprehend
the allowed ones arent banned
I'm doing rough guessing to figure out how to make a run with variety but all the items I get are kinda ass or something like that
I can remove sticky
i mean i guess you need damage for variety
sticky bomb is super good
there arent really bad white damage items except ap rounds
I like ap rounds
maybe it's just the trauma from playing honor but I like killing the boss faster
would rose buckler be worth banning
i guess crowbar if youre like commando maybe
lookin great
i was gonna say it until i remembered i mostly play commando lol
why is rusted key in bad other than it can only give you bad items now
just that
also unstable transmitter is a good item
I didn't even see transmitter ngl
enable encrusted key too then
this will be a truly skillful risk of rain 2 run
I can no longer rely on luck
which means I also need to play commando
still gotta work on those
enable sonorous whispers sale star and chance doll as well then 
currently wake of vultures, hooks of heresy and essence of heresy would allow you to use deathmark, thats funny
and shorm
and i guess grandparent overheat
uhhhh
why is corpsebloom and rejuv rack there
as is the backup
I've heard mixed opinions on woodsprite
fmp is good but ig you dont have the items that make it good
backups good now
woodsprite is really damn good
bad thing good now
its the best healing equip and also the best user of war horn
if you say so...
you could re-enable ignition tank :)
the only on kill item he has is pauldron
and harpoon
yeah
so fmp is just opus
I should be really elitist and say that you're not actually good at ror2 unless you can beat this type of run every time
on e8
You aren't good at the game unless you can beat honor itemless with swarms and evolution on, on eclipse 8
i am
remove irradient pearl 
btw i beat my first is
which version
shits more roguelite than i thought
first what
getting permanent shit helped a lot
integrated strategy
uhhhh sff
gonna have to get used to this
idk which number that is
sff is
idk what that is
sarkaz furnaceside fables?
yues
i also want that mudrock skin 
ok so a good starting point yay
I'd say the best starting point is IS2
oh and uh what rewards do you even get once you fully finish the rewards
uhhhh
in total you'll have...
1.5 mil LMD, 600 gold xp tickets, a bunch of evo materials, a bunch of skill summaries, like 2 or 3 skins, a new operator, a free specialization 3 ticket, furniture, home screen UI, a ton of module materials, home screen background
that's what you get if you clear everything
in one IS version
ok cool
excluding monthly squads
so at some point il run out of motivators
not really
and il just have to play for fun
unless you grind the hell out of all the IS modes
you have at least a year or two of content
and this is if we assume IS7 (which is releasing in 6 months) is the last one (it's not)
do I go do the halc shrine
it won't give me much better stuff
honestly your best bet might just be rushing
Huh
there's so much stuff 💔
also you get rewarded for deep explorations and getting different endings too
so you have to work even more
these arent necessarily items i think are all bad, but here is what i would pick
quail???
i dont think quail is bad but i wanted some movement
oh
fireworks caffeinator going hard with this one
and in a smaller lootpool its not as great because stacking it is kinda funky
what caffeinator 
This is so stupid lmao
I got it immediately
I found a defense nucleus printer
run is saved
Wait... maybe I didn't. I assume it was just ranking stuff based off of... well you know
-# no i dont
reso disc?
its also why backup mag is there
The tiers. Look at the colors
alien head?
its a mix of my opinions and ones i see people say are bad
i like both of those reds personally
||Its just the rarity.||
they are sorted by rarity yes
i dont understand alien head hate
alien head and resonance disc are good
I thought it was a teir list... but now idk what this is
who hates alien head
resonance disc glaze
i'd rather have alien head than like half the red catalogue
Omg this spine thing is getting annoying
genuinely who hates alien head of all things
alien head just has kinda low numbers and has a hard to notice effect
Idk what it does
this is because half the red catalogue SUCKS
oh man fuck i can use my abilities that hurt things or get me out of danger more!! this item stinks!!!!
i would still buff the numbers of alien head
holy shit
rejuv rack isnt bad
i guess the hate stems from like, "oh my GOD i couldve had a 57 leaf/networked suffering instead of this bs like alien head!"
run is
but not every run has a 57 leaf
so youre complaining for basically no benefit
a red's a red, worst case scenario its red scrap on commencement
3 hours and 15 minutes until peak drops
yeah plenty of reds are 'fine' but there are also a bunch of run winning reds so its necessarily a bit disappointing
no? its like 7 hours 15
no ??
8 PM????
i think guillotine is under appreciated
for me yeah
I'm talking about 2pm...
but the announcement isnt at 2pm
especially since now we have a bullet sponge elite type
its at 8...
who carres about announcement
is it not
till WHAT drops bro
peak
nasti is in like 7 hours bro
what are you reffering to
hot woman
different servers
For a red it is
buh
mine drops in 3 hours and 15 mins
