thats all you need to know tho

vital escarp
#

ok but like why wouldnt you make a room as big like that tho

molten hound
#

the teaser

rancid temple
#

Has there been a bunch of stuff that I just completely missed?

molten hound
#

the hallowed concepts teaser twinanem

molten hound
rancid temple
# molten hound 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

molten hound
#

lemme check if its on the youtuube hol uop

sonic tangle
#

they explicitly mention 2 survivors

molten hound
rancid temple
#

Ah I hadn't thought to check there

rancid temple
#

I just rewatched it

molten hound
#

oh i just assumed it was the one didnt actually watch it, steam page must be the thing im thinking bout

knotty canyon
#

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

uuuuuh i change my mind

#

I finally understand why trains in factory games are awesome

robust plume
#

Wait i thought we´d get three survivors

#

there´s three escape pods in the trailer 💔

sonic tangle
#

ac had 3

austere prism
#

it did?

#

wasnt it drifter and operator

keen inlet
#

Dont forget Robomando

sonic tangle
austere prism
#

oh wait

keen inlet
austere prism
#

oops you were talking ab escape pods 💔

knotty canyon
robust plume
#

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

silent bear
#

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 😢

keen inlet
#

SotS also stated only two new survivors before devotion update leaked false son

silent bear
#

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

upper wing
#

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

silent bear
#

oh but I'm just happy that we're getting more n'kuhana lore 😛

upper wing
#

huuuuge

robust plume
#

if this game´s update cycle ends and we don´t get the red plane i will die

golden linden
#

I have this fear that the red plane could never be fully realized on the ror2 foundation

robust plume
#

maybe? It is pretty groundbreaking lorewise that teleportation technology is the game´s main calling card and the imps can just.. do it biologically

golden linden
#

solus transporters also do it funny enough

robust plume
#

that´s alien technology it makes sense

golden linden
#

solus is alien?

robust plume
#

are they not an alien species of mechanical eyeballs

#

alien to petrichor at the very least

golden linden
#

I mean so are we and everything there but the golems

robust plume
#

huh. so that´s why sots was basically all about the golems

golden linden
#

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

haughty crag
#

Hiiii

golden linden
#

robust plume
#

I guess that would make them.. and alloyed collective

vital depot
#

i mean it could have went from one to the other

robust plume
#

say that again fantastic 4 movie gif

spring rose
#

what if instead of solus it was sogup and they were. all gups

vital depot
#

Origins just isn’t something that ror2 seems to like doing and i guess that’s whatever

robust plume
#

upper wing
#

magnificent run

coarse pagoda
#

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

robust plume
#

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

woeful python
#

What

errant marsh
#

Why are all of my godruns on this character

spring rose
#

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

#

false son and true daughter when unobjective child walks in

errant marsh
#

Anyways I've started using step of the brothers again it's kinda peak

fresh scarab
#

the only thing we know about the Solus is that they’re from Solus X and they’re all incredibly sassy

fresh scarab
#

also it’s REALLY good against tightly clumped enemies

#

as the 200% damage per enemy is an explosion

terse ferry
#

Evil explosion on hit

iron palm
#

I prefer meridians will just because I find it makes dealing with groups of flying enemies easier
That's literally it lol

terse ferry
#

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

iron palm
#

Just teleport on top of one and wham

fresh scarab
#

Meridian’s Will is growth bullshit and is otherwise just okay as an ability

#

Step feels much better

robust plume
iron palm
#

Not for flying enemies it doesnt

#

200% damage is useless when the enemies are spread apart

robust plume
terse ferry
#

Indeterminate enby

#

Oh wow indeterminate is a real word

iron palm
#

Whereas again with mw you can teleport on top of 1 and it just drags them all together

robust plume
#

iron palm
vital depot
#

I use Meridian’s Will because it’s just cool as shit

vital depot
#

Dont care about the temporary stat benefits, i love that damn teleport with the lightning strike following it

fresh scarab
iron palm
#

I can do the teleports behind you "nothing personal, kid" thing in game

fresh scarab
#

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

robust plume
#

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

fresh scarab
#

it’s where Mithrix wanted to build monuments to him, his brother, and her

#

only one was constructed

robust plume
#

yeah. I love that he built his brother´s statue first. They disagreed on everything, but he really did love him.

stone charm
#

is that online desync bug fixed yet

robust plume
#

HOLY SHIT IS THAT A WALKING SOCK

stone charm
#

yeah bro whats up

robust plume
#

you aren´t real

stone charm
#

im real look

#

embed fail

fresh scarab
robust plume
#

i mean where are the other statues right

stone charm
#

i mean theres no way he didnt love him

robust plume
#

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

fresh scarab
#

Mithrix offered to give the Designs to Providence

robust plume
stone charm
#

even though the lore writes it out too LOL

robust plume
#

i mean it does yeah but nobody´s expected to read the logs before going to the stage

stone charm
#

truth nuke

robust plume
#

the log only serves to set it in stone

fresh scarab
#

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

robust plume
#

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

fresh scarab
#

he likely would’ve been struck with immense grief and then enraged

robust plume
#

yeah but definitely not at him

fresh scarab
#

waging war on those that killed his brother

robust plume
#

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

If only that mode had more stuff

gloomy lagoon
#

The child is the most annoying enemy I’ve seen in my life, I just wanted to say that

placid quail
#

I hate children so much

#

the enemy in risk of rain is also annoying

gloomy lagoon
#

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

sacred elk
#

wee

placid quail
#

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

robust plume
#

imagine being someone who hates children in real life and playing risk of rain and having to hate children in the videogame too

2 mid ass reds back to back

gloomy lagoon
#

What red dot sight is sick

#

Straight double damage if you have 10 lenses

fresh scarab
#

how often are you getting 10

gloomy lagoon
#

Ah fair I usually play with command

drowsy wasp
#

you cannot convince me this is not inspired by the encrypted portal area (with the crafting station i forgot what its called)

gloomy lagoon
#

Where is that from?

drowsy wasp
#

genshin impact

fresh scarab
#

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

upper wing
#

yayyyyyyyy

fresh scarab
#

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

upper wing
#

this is just the mid red run ig

#

i dont think im supposed to be able to see that chain

oh thank god

fresh scarab
#

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

upper wing
#

there it is. my first death on this save

errant marsh
#

Bro died

upper wing
#

what a first item

livid idol
#

YOOOOOO THREE HEALTH FROM SUPERCHARGE

errant marsh
#

I wonder what survivor has the best default loadout

#

Probably viend his alt loadout sucks

livid idol
#

like compared to alt kit or just in general

fresh idol
errant marsh
errant marsh
#

Why not have an answer for both

errant marsh
golden linden
#

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

livid idol
# errant marsh Both ig

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)

sacred elk
#

wee

golden linden
fresh scarab
#

but is it Neurotoxin

livid idol
#

no, but it is bite

fresh scarab
#

this is true

golden linden
#

sacred elk
#

the realizer

#

i cant wait for the marvel tokoning

#

theres 4 events coming up where they could reasonably reveal new stuff

livid idol
#

I can't wait for tomorrow where uhhh ummm

sacred elk
livid idol
#

I go to work so I can get paid!

#

nothing else happens tomorrow mhm

sacred elk
#

Man if only some kind of event was happening tomorrow at 1pm

livid idol
#

the event is me going to work :)

fresh scarab
#

would be really cool if something did happen

sacred elk
#

im also going to work actually

livid idol
#

yoooo

sacred elk
#

the workening

golden linden
#

I just had an idea while in the throne

#

what if
captain, ok

fresh scarab
#

guys new DLC just dropped called Survivors of the Void

golden linden
#

what if captai n could

sacred elk
#

Spongebob big guy captain okay

golden linden
#

what if captain could use any of his 4 beacons

#

but still limiting 2 per stage

sacred elk
#

The real buff captain needs

golden linden
#

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

fresh scarab
#

that would be pretty cool I think

#

would lean a lot more into him being half utility and half firepower

golden linden
#

yeah

wet marsh
#

that'd be cool but wouldnt you still prefer double hacking like 99% of the time

golden linden
#

well that's on you right

fresh scarab
#

he has all the tools to support the run when it’s needed

wet marsh
#

i guess healing/shocking is good for mithrix?

fresh scarab
#

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

golden linden
#

and actually bring situations where ressuply could be have more thought

wet marsh
#

#

Risk of pain 2...

mental anchor
#

let's play
railgunner

upper wing
#

aside from bands these items are really rough

vapid dagger
#

good run

vapid dagger
#

your looting speed seems to be a bit slow for the number of items you possess

upper wing
#

i am playing rather slow true

vapid dagger
#

when push comes to shove rely on those drones

golden linden
#

that looks perfectly good time to me

#

loot and time

errant marsh
#

Yeah that looks fine

vapid dagger
#

for the item count its not good at all

errant marsh
#

When taking into account the amount of drones there

golden linden
#

24 iitems and 10 drones

#

yeah that's turbo fine

vapid dagger
#

then maybe its the 3 scrapped greens and that bands are easily overestimated if it feels bad

upper wing
errant marsh
#

BEST BUDDY

golden linden
#

what is the antonym for buddy

upper wing
#

if only i was commando

errant marsh
#

Nemesis?

#

Idk

golden linden
#

opposer

wet marsh
golden linden
#

worst opp lmao

errant marsh
#

Fool

#

Just use your primary

#

Embrace shitty mando

upper wing
#

the run is saved

#

if only best buddy worked properly

#

id actually quite like it

livid idol
errant marsh
#

Yeah I think best buddy needs another AI fix

livid idol
#

if i see those items on rg I smile because both bands and atg is nice

errant marsh
#

He's genuinely pretty strong when he actually attacks anything

livid idol
#

and gas is very nice

golden linden
#

aside from the trying to hit something in the air and locking out it's fine

vapid dagger
golden linden
#

the hitbox is the bigger problem

errant marsh
#

I've seen buddy not attack anything too many times

livid idol
#

even with the timer being at 25 minutes that's totally fine though

golden linden
errant marsh
#

I've also seen him get stuck in the attack animation on the ground

livid idol
errant marsh
#

Not moving at all

vapid dagger
#

the "sit and look cute" behavior is annoying and unhelpful

errant marsh
#

I've seen him slide off of enemies and not do damage

livid idol
#

if best buddy had good ai and a correctly aligned hitbox....

vapid dagger
#

the problem is apparently it has a skill that makes it just bounce up and down that it uses occasionally

errant marsh
#

Sometimes he even feels like he's avoiding me purposefully so I can't proc fireworks from him

wet marsh
#

its actually solid under the right conditions

livid idol
vapid dagger
#

a thing they intentionally coded it to use even during combat

wet marsh
#

it just sucks at tracking things down

upper wing
#

oh yeah

errant marsh
#

Best buddy is genuinely one of my favorite items but man he's implemented poorly

livid idol
#

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

golden linden
#

all is fine when you full loot

upper wing
vapid dagger
golden linden
#

yeah

mental anchor
#

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?

errant marsh
#

Diesel

wet marsh
#

what would corrupted gas even do

#

i dont want to lose my gas TwT

uneven scarab
#

I have a theory for what it could be. yet I already thought of a name

golden linden
#

a good name would be sea/sea creature related

#

and void adjacent

wet marsh
#

i wanna say fossil fuel but that sounds mad stupid

#

riiight

#

it does

uneven scarab
#

ok Dyno is broken for some odd reason

upper wing
#

THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT

uneven scarab
errant marsh
#

Literally 100% proc rate on supercharged shot

mental anchor
#

starting to understand what people mean by ac enemies having no weight or whatever it means to be spawned 20 billion times

fresh scarab
#

I forget the exact numbers let me see

livid idol
#

I remember I think it was earlier today we were trying to do !paul and it wouldnt work

uneven scarab
#

cryo is 4.5% x 20 (now I need to check)

livid idol
#

eight hours ago

#

so for at least eight hours

#

!paul

#

😔

uneven scarab
#

!Mithrix Sucks

#

dang that didn't work too?

errant marsh
uneven scarab
tawdry hornet
#

no !paul...

errant marsh
fresh scarab
#

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

errant marsh
#

Also the weak point damage for supercharged shot probably would count if the chance wasn't already 100% lol

livid idol
#

me when solus distributors are 20 credits.....

livid idol
#

transporters are ten times the cost of distributors btw

fresh scarab
upper wing
#

time to unlock el viendo

mental anchor
#

livid idol
errant marsh
#

What do scorchers cost

livid idol
#

a weird number that i cant remember

fresh scarab
#

nevermind it would be lower

errant marsh
#

Please make scorchers slower bro 🥹

upper wing
#

he just whipped out the super laser

mental anchor
#

distributors are like
the ultimate gasoline check

fresh scarab
#

Scorchers are so funny

livid idol
#

scorchers cost 18 credits

fresh scarab
#

they’re not as dangerous as people think they are but they’re still INCREDIBLY annoying

livid idol
#

pests cost 15

errant marsh
#

They're the most annoying enemy ever

livid idol
#

wisps cost 10

errant marsh
#

They have too much health for how fast they are

livid idol
#

i feel like scorchers could have been 20 credits

errant marsh
#

And area denial

#

And they fly

fresh scarab
#

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

errant marsh
#

I'd imagine it calculates the chance then applies proc coefficient

vapid dagger
fresh scarab
#

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

golden linden
#

pretty good set

fresh scarab
vapid dagger
#

gasoline is doing everything

uneven scarab
fresh scarab
#

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

fresh scarab
#

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

errant marsh
#

Probably increments

vapid dagger
#

bands are doing next to nothing
its all crowbars

fresh scarab
#

I figured it did after as well

#

with how often it goes off

uneven scarab
#

once every new proc chain is my guess

fresh scarab
#

what I meant by that (part 2) was

haughty dawn
#

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

fresh scarab
# fresh scarab what I meant by that (part 2) was

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

jolly heron
#

oh wow

errant marsh
#

I forgot they capped it

uneven scarab
errant marsh
fresh scarab
#

the damage is also capped at 7500%

errant marsh
#

Boring

uneven scarab
#

somebody help me

errant marsh
#

Make runic lens more s tier please

fresh scarab
vapid dagger
#

i created god again

errant marsh
fresh scarab
#

does Supercharge proc Rens every time

errant marsh
#

Someone can probably just test it with commands

fresh scarab
#

if procco ignored the cap, Supercharge would proc it every time

#

guaranteed

vapid dagger
steady vector
#

Mornin

upper wing
#

thats so lame

errant marsh
#

Wiki says 75%

vapid dagger
#

although i do think bc of the 3.0 proc coef it does hit 100%

fresh scarab
#

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

errant marsh
#

Cryocharge hypothetically could as well

#

With reload bonus

livid idol
#

couldn't you just check by giving yourself 90 million billion purities

errant marsh
#

I'm not doing a full run for that

uneven scarab
#

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

livid idol
#

do they even move with 17 stoneflux

18× enemy HP

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

errant marsh
#

Do any sots reds need a buff

#

I mean like maybe warbonds?

War Bonds has swag though

war bonds is very good

it’s also ludicrously strong

too tootoo tooooo!!

ionic glacier

im only at 2

fresh scarab
#

what it does is very niche, but it’s REALLY good at it

wet marsh

and they already buffed it, giving it icbm synergy for god knows what reason

war bonds is 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

livid idol
#

honestly four ignition tanks is overkill you could anyway

errant marsh
#

I can't play aggro merc lol I have to play like a bitch

wet marsh
#

merc is lowkey dash away from the fight simulator

#

OH you mean compulsion

errant marsh
#

Eviserate is cool if I scrap all my drones to use it

livid idol
#

not the gasoline

ionic glacier
#

this made me so sad i had dios n everything idk y i js died instantly

ionic glacier
#

i wanted to get his skins mane

errant marsh
ionic glacier
#

IDK WHAT HAPPENED

errant marsh
#

What were you doing mate

ionic glacier
#

literally

#

i js be goofing

fresh scarab
#

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

#

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

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 B_ChargedPerforator and 3 U_AtG_Missile

#

ah

worldly haven
#

i killed it, but it pulled me to hell with it

fresh scarab
#

did you take a lot of overheat

worldly haven
#

yup

#

i did not know that was a thing

bummer

errant marsh

Artifact of command L damn

fresh scarab
#

shady spots will appear to show you exactly where is safe

worldly haven
fresh scarab
#

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

worldly haven
#

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

errant marsh
#

I used to be the command player and man the game is so boring with it on

#

Its a free win every time

fresh scarab
#

your build is still being tailor made into being as perfect as you want it to be

worldly haven
fresh scarab
#

there is no strategy

errant marsh
worldly haven
fresh scarab
#

you make an overpowered build and you win

worldly haven
errant marsh
#

I could play a command game rn and instakill everything by stage 3

fresh scarab
#

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”

errant marsh
#

It gets boring

fresh scarab
#

and you get to pick which one you get
with no risk of you not getting said build

livid idol
#

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

worldly haven
#

i just ask that people not slam on something i enjoy just because they can't find fun in it

fresh scarab
#

I agree with that

errant marsh
#

As long as you're having fun

fresh scarab
#

if you wanna go command and make a crazy build then go nuts

errant marsh
#

I wonder why ghors tome was picked with sacrifice on

fresh scarab
#

figuring out what items do?

errant marsh
#

Maybe maybe

worldly haven
#

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

worldly haven
#

:3

#

it's instant dopamine

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

i actually have to think on the fly sometimes if i'm not finding the item rarities i'm looking for

livid idol
#

that's what I mean more than strategy

#

sorry, my brain is fried from work 😭

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

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

echo idol
#

Im the engineer whos beaten the elder lems on aqueduct in under 10 minutes

worldly haven
errant marsh
#

Odd phenomenon where people convince themselves that doing nothing is the right play on engi because he has a "bad primary"

livid idol
#

i don't get people who say engi m1 is bad

vapid dagger
#

I spam mines at least

livid idol
#

its just quirky

worldly haven
vapid dagger
#

Its a bit slow cumbersome and clunky

errant marsh
#

Spam mines use primary sometimes use harpoons

#

Harpoons feel like they're more for long range

worldly haven
#

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

vapid dagger
worldly haven
#

if an enemy is right in front of you, then you aim straight

calm raptor
worldly haven
#

i actually find myself doing more damage than my turrets a lot of the time

calm raptor
#

real

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

btw, getting behemoth with engi is really fun, your explosions are more explosive and it's noticeable

vapid dagger
#

Oh yeah engineer gets up to 180% more damage from behemoth on m1

echo idol
worldly haven
#

explosive harpoons is fun too

pulsar parrot
#

👋

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

kamikaze is always fun

#

that being brilliant behemoth spider mines

vapid dagger
#

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

livid idol
#

pressure mines are awesome

worldly haven
#

i'm too active in combat to place pressure mines strategically, but spider mines do the thinking for me

vapid dagger
#

I dance around an elder lem while a bunch of mines arm and then lead him to his death

worldly haven
#

i did not realize i was talking to a sadist

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

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

vapid dagger
#

Yeah I dont like taking much damage

worldly haven
#

engi is a self-made bulletsponge

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

i'm still experiencing that pretty often

#

but i only have 41.1 hours total in the game, i'll get better

vapid dagger
#

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

echo idol
#

leave me alone

vapid dagger
#

Ive done turretless too

worldly haven
#

i should do an engineer build where i have to take every item of an item rarity before i can take more

vapid dagger
#

Well the one thing I highly recommend for engineer is tougher times

worldly haven
#

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

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

i love going charged perforator with polylute

vapid dagger
#

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

worldly haven
#

yea, i've tried that, it's not very consistent but fun when it happens

vapid dagger
#

Its neat at least

worldly haven
#

i kinda dislike it bc that means no bungus halo

vapid dagger
#

Oh right lysate cell gives engineer a 3rd turret

worldly haven
#

oh damn

#

OH DAMN

vapid dagger
#

No more than that tho

worldly haven
#

aw man

#

that's bullshit

vapid dagger
#

You can hold more but can only have 3 out

worldly haven
#

i'm gonna have to get r2modman after all

vapid dagger
#

Its fine bc 2 turrets is already pretty great
3 is already pushing absurdity

worldly haven
#

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

livid idol
#

There is

vapid dagger
#

There is yes

#

Oh right every turret gets their own zoea summons dont they?

worldly haven

i instantly found it

there's 2, wonder which i should get

golden linden
#

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

quartz umbra
#

im pretty sure level is what increases the stats not stage itself, stage increases level I think

echo idol
#

not sure but i wouldnt assume so

quartz umbra
#

im not sure though

golden linden
#

stage increases the difficulty coef as I know

#

and that affects enemy level

quartz umbra
sonic tangle
golden linden
#

but idr if the stage itself has an effect on enemy stats

golden linden
sonic tangle
#

yeah

golden linden
#

hmmmmm idk about that

#

I'll check tomorrow after the gym

sonic tangle
#

im 99% sure of this

golden linden
#

I wanna do a google sheet calculator for enemy scaling

sonic tangle
#

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

sinful dust
#

what a run

sinful dust
#

i knew it was set when i got 18 items from stage 1

sonic tangle
golden linden
#

so like, the enemy scaling would be different if I reach for exemple

sonic tangle
#

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

echo idol
#

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

sonic tangle
#

the level you end up with would be different

golden linden
#

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

echo idol
echo idol
#

such a cheap and easy extra stock to get that spikes your power so much

sonic tangle
#

at least im p sure

golden linden
#

wouldn't you reach a point that enemy level would increase every some seconds or so

#

even with the cap being 99

sonic tangle
#

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

golden linden
#

huh

#

gilded coast increases the stage factor

#

didn't know that

sonic tangle
#

interesting

golden linden
#

the game is 15% harder after you do a single gilded coast

#

incredible

i need to hit my enemies with the rubiconian handshake

i couldn't figure that out reading the wiki

I should have gone to sleep now

i wonder if this applies to stuff like prime meridian gup

golden linden
#

if you figure it out ping me

#

I'll see more about it tomorrow

sonic tangle
#

the figurer

wet marsh
#

thing is, is gilded coast worth the 15% difficulty increase for aurelionite and 4 extra items

sonic tangle
#

lowkey no

wet marsh
#

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

sonic tangle
#

time doesnt pass in gilded coast still

yeah but the stage count does

there arent really bad white damage items except ap rounds

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

not even chrono

what equips you got?

still gotta work on those

do i just play for fun once im done with those

that's what you get if you clear everything

in one IS version

sonic tangle

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

do I go do the halc shrine

alien head just has kinda low numbers and has a hard to notice effect

resonance disc is great when it lands
