Can the next update let the music tab do something? It'd be so sick to keep the note from Chris, add one from Stavros, and then let you play the music you've heard through out the game on the menu

haughty crag
#

Let's listen to The Shattering Circle, or: A Charade of Shadeless Ones and Zeroes Rearranged ad Nihilum

robust plume
#

I understand wanting to promote Chris and his music but also, it is so misleading to have a music menu that won't let you play the fucking music

low wind
#

for a game whose ost style is as unique and memorable as it is it is sort of criminal that we dont have like a jukebox feature :/

would be like 0 overhead work, probably

Yeah. If they went a step above with it they could even let us choose what music to play kinda like in some newer games

Mario Odyssey and DK Bananza have jukebox features like this but I don't see why they should stay in the collectathon genre

what character do you think has the highest skill ceiling

Railgunner or merc probably

ripe cargo

i feel like merc and bandit

terse ferry

Off the top my head
One is basically ineffective without enough understanding and can be one of the best if you do

The other has basic use but is very punishing if you can’t make up for him being melee

Merc always seemed so generally easy to me that i cant really imagine him as a hard character to begin with

desert plover

Yeah which is extremely easy to get down

desert plover

Solus wing on e7 comes to mind

Very clunky fight for merc specifically in my experience

Flying enemies have never been a problem for merc the way i play him

desert plover
#

Good for you

potent marten
#

finally

ripe cargo
desert plover
#

Before you say much it’s easy because you already understand it

vapid dagger
#

The worst i’ll end up with is having to wait a couple seconds behind a rock bc i used up all my attacks before they spawned but the moment they come off cooldown i basically get to fly

echo idol
#

It really does just boil down to knowing when the next big scary attack is so you can use one of your fifteen iframes

"in hallowed concepts, players will explore risk of rain"

desert plover
#

Judge me if you want I just wasn’t having a good time with winds on eclipse

vapid dagger

Maybe the biggest downside of using focused assault is that you dont get to basically fly

desert plover

Yeah but you dont need it most of the time

In hallowed concepts players will explore 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♂️

And BA can stunlock for extended periods of time

desert plover
#

This is very much an experience thing I fear

vapid dagger
#

BA is also better for movement once you start using the chain dashes aggressively to get away

#

Dash through something and then instead of turning around you just dash again forward to make space

#

Only gripe I have with inferno is why does the escape moon segment just overload on the explosions

Also wisps stop mattering entirely bc you can just chain dash through a bunch of them and then use evis as well

Also BA is cancelable with m2

So you can make it shorter when it needs to be

haughty crag
#

What if solus wing was chinese

vapid dagger
#

As well as actually benefiting from focus crystals

ripe cargo
#

anyone have game recommendations for someone with a terrible attention span.

desert plover
terse ferry
#

focused assault not working properly with focus crystals is fucked up

vapid dagger
#

Bc focused assault has a delay meaning youre frequently outside of crystal range when the damage occurs

ripe cargo
terse ferry
echo idol
#

Is swing grok or chatgpt

desert plover
vapid dagger
#

While with BA the damage is immediate so its always within crystal range

desert plover
vapid dagger
#

This isnt to say focused assault is bad btw

desert plover
#

At least it looks cool

#

Thanks iPhone for random emojis

vapid dagger
#

Focused assault does good damage and has a much easier time resetting its own cooldown with expose

desert plover
#

Kinda why I liked assault more

I wasn’t using blink well enough and was always left kinda sitting duck and it didn’t feel good

errant marsh
#

Expose teching through a group of bosses is like crack cocaine with focused assault

vapid dagger
#

Its also the fattest band proc merc has access to

#

Up to 1050% damage with expose

obtuse basin
#

guys what kind of build should i use for captain (My goal is to accept the collective, and I'll be using command because I'm not a fan of his playstyle)

vapid dagger
#

From my experience with merc the alts tend to favor timing attacks much more than just relentless pursuit with the occasional iframe blocking damage

desert plover
#

The alt m2 is just kinda bad though

Once you lose that movement you really start feeling it

vapid dagger
#

Defaults favor relentlessly slicing the target to bits

Rising thunder is just awkward

#

It's a fine ability

i've warmed up to uppercut but i still very much prefer whirlwind

But it’s just bc I don’t have whirlwind

echo idol
#

Rising thunder and fin

#

❤️‍🩹

vapid dagger
#

Tho i think my assessment may be a bit biased towards it bc of my 4 other dashes so movement is just not a problem for me

#

As well as it being a fine band proc in its own right

echo idol
vapid dagger
#

Vertical mobility in general tends to be better within combat than horizontal from my experience

terse ferry
#

i wonder if i should make a tierlist on how much i've come to like different skills after giving them a redemption run

desert plover
#

Now eviscerate

I know winds is better but honestly i absolutely forced myself to like it

vapid dagger
#

Winds is not better
Its a sidegrade and changes mercs playstyle entirely

errant marsh
#

Eviserate and winds are pretty even ngl

#

I just wish drones didn't eat eviserate

#

Why is this a thing @gearbox

vapid dagger
#

Blame hopoo for that one

desert plover
vapid dagger
#

I wish evis wasnt shadow nerfed by a bug making its hitreg end too early in the dash

#

It fucks up combos

errant marsh
#

I like using eviserate to get in and focused assault to get out

vapid dagger
#

I use evis to get in and evis to stay in

desert plover
#

I’m very opposite since I’m always trying to expose tech

Grenades provide nothing to commando that phase round doesnt do better

blissful torrent
#

also which special is the better and more fun one

mental temple
#

Tbh I think all drones and survivors DO have their strengths so far. Commando's suppressive fire is very controlled and feels more intuitive than the grenades. I cannot STAND Huntress's default movement but as soon as I got phase blink I was doing much better. Mercenary is kinda fun but the fact that you have to do a prismatic trial for one of his achievements kinda blows. Railgunner is just fun, I learned how to fly :3

desert plover

# desert plover ??

the transport drone main attack deals fall damage which is always hp% based and the operator m2 for transport drones deals 300% base damage

so essentially you get 40-60 seconds of poison instantly if you let it do its thing and something that doesnt even proc bands if you m2

vapid dagger

Also the knockback of phase round is a boon in and of itself for just how easy it becomes to manipulate enemy positions

i'll have to do alt m2 run and chirp run separately because i actually dont mind chirp on alt m2

You get blasted and when you dive you just stop and drop like a rock instead of what used to happen which was completely redirecting your momentum to a way you have complete control over

i feel like they just added that to give chirp a unique effect like doc and crosshairs have

it also gets chests that are above you that you can't reach but uh

you're operator 😭

vapid dagger
#

I think its more for when you dont have ascent protocol and can struggle with verticality so you just grab a chest off a cliff above you or out of a pit

#

Without needing to change course

blissful torrent
#

right okok

vapid dagger
#

Still niche

oblique ocean
#

fun multiplayer thing if one player is loader and the other is operator:

loader can swing from a drone that operator is piloting

#

that fucking siphoned forest ledge...

vapid dagger
#

I have also had chirp drop a chest on a couple of vagrants heads and it bounced between them and did a surprisingly large amount of damage

#

I dont know if i could ever reproduce this

#

It was a little too perfect of a set up and i did it on accident

terse ferry
vapid dagger
#

I dont think so

terse ferry
#

figures
probably would've noticed otherwise

vapid dagger
#

It was weird bc it grabbed the chest and then instead of dropping it next to me it dropped it on the enemy heads

dire sail
terse ferry
#

even with green scrap regen amalgamators are just really annoying on drifter

vapid dagger
#

I think it’s bc there was an empty chest nearby while I targeted an enemy it cant normally grab

#

Theyre mini solus wings

dire sail
#

i don't fucking know what's happening when fighting them then suddenly half my health is gone

#

speaking w/ respect to drifter though. idk if maybe the purple projectiles are going through the amalgam body.

vapid dagger
#

The giant energy blast that happens when you get close to them is really frustrating for any character to deal with and frequently rips drones to shreds

terse ferry
#

the first tp boss to actively get worsened by being a tp boss specifically

blissful torrent
#

they do too much imo

vapid dagger
#

I like the chaotic nature of the amalgamator personally

terse ferry
#

you're getting amalgamator visuals + the other tp boss's visuals + the amalgamator's parts' visuals when it falls to half health + all the enemies' visuals

dire sail
#

i can manage them better on someone who isn't hard melee

vapid dagger
#

I just think they could do without the giant melee attack they have

terse ferry
livid idol
#

I kinda wish the amalgamator felt like a threat past being visual clutter

blissful torrent
#

i think it's a neat concept but it's very hard to learn how they actually work in more detail than "solus control unit big aoe attack" and "bits fall off and do their own thing"

livid idol
#

But like for me it's kinda just move back and forth out of the aoe when it spawns because the detaching parts like to not target me for some reason?

terse ferry
livid idol
#

Like hello I am the ONLY enemy alive where are you going

blissful torrent
#

i didn't even know they had a melee attack until this conversation

dire sail
#

unfortunately

vapid dagger
terse ferry
terse ferry
#

amalgamator is a really cool boss fought standalone if a little lacking without other enemies there but as an addon to another tp boss it's yeesh

vapid dagger
#

The blasts on both accounts are just way too fucking big

terse ferry
blissful torrent
vapid dagger
#

I dont know if you can even outrun it from close range

dire sail
#

when it 's spawned alongside solus control units and it's just orbs everywhere

vapid dagger
#

You definitely cant outrun solus wing’s

blissful torrent
#

also what's the lore behind the amalgamator showing up with the other tp boss? is it just like "oh hey mr magma worm heard you were having trouble with a human lemme help out"

livid idol
terse ferry
livid idol
#

Hey does someone wanna spawn an amalgamator in and see if you can dodge the melee with no movement

dire sail
terse ferry
#

bandit is also problematic on amalgamator

vapid dagger
#

And playing as a melee character i never stay in melee range for too long

#

Unless im merc

#

Then i just iframe that shit

#

And still merc does occasionally dip out for a breather

dire sail
#

on False Son I just charge slam, hit, then dash out

vapid dagger
#

But he actually has the tools to reliably do so

#

Overextending as merc doesn’t actually exist

terse ferry
vapid dagger
#

Medkit is cracked

terse ferry
#

also true

vapid dagger
#

And merc is merc

#

Merc with evis kind of just bends the flow of the game around him

#

The enemies are now forced to time their attacks on him when he doesn’t have the ability to just iframe it

#

They get punished for hitting him

#

Bc they hit him at the wrong time

#

The enemies are forced to play around evis or die

#

Assuming you use evis well its kind of a combat ultimatum

#

You either arent timing evis well enough
Or you’re indestructible

#

And thats before considering the default “the player has an actual brain” advantage that every survivor also has

#

Which only compounds the power of evis

#

Bc they cant even think to counter evis

#

Just
Wait a little bit before you use your attack

#

Nope gotta use the skill immediately off cooldown which means evis makes the fight free

#

If your opponent is using their attacks while merc has evis and waiting on the cooldown while he doesnt merc is the only one even allowed to do damage

#

He warps combat around him
And thats how hes allowed to be a melee character in a game designed around being ranged

#

And arguably one of the best characters in the game even

#

Bc he just doesnt die

#

And forces the flow of combat to account for his gameplan

#

He plays a different game and gets away with it bc if you dont play his game you cant hurt him

true artifact of command is my favourite survivor

agile kestrel

Commando is the third worst survivor

#

Behind loader and void friend

vapid dagger
#

In a theoretical competitive environment merc is a frustrating character to play against when hes played well
Your options are to kill him before he gets to you which he has plenty of movement options with invulnerability to either find cover or close the distance/dodge with or stay as far away from him as possible and just avoid fighting him (This Will not work bc he is faster than you)
Hope he screws up and be there to kill him at the precise moment he does

dire sail

"why doesn't everyone always use command? are they stupid?"

Captains an absolute beast

#

without command on stage 6 monsoon i was hitting over 17k dps with this man

Tbh Captain was fun to play imo!

unlocking the Diablo strike was NOT fun, but playing Captain was

captain is lowkey powerful but hes just not fun for me to play at. all

vapid dagger

Commando is fine

agile kestrel
blissful torrent
#

i remember the first time i played captain i didn't understand how he worked at all and i thought his primary was practically useless as a result

agile kestrel
#

seriously. activate dissonance, sacrifice, and swarms aritfact, no command, and loop with captain, you will be amazingly amazed

mental temple
#

Genuinely I loved that thunderous crack of the Vulcan shotgun. So satisfying. Also unlike some characters(cOUGH REX) his base movement speed isn't bad

blissful torrent
#

so i had probes for damage and that was it

blissful torrent
dire sail
#

i did not appreicate diablo much until learning how to use it against False Son, then Solus wing also was added around the same time

blissful torrent
#

survivors with bigger character models just feel slower

#

and some survivors have lower acceleration which makes them turn more slowly

mental temple
#

You Lie™

oblique ocean
#

all the survivors have the same base movement speed

Captain is really good bc half of the enemies might as well just not exist and his m1 can do basically everything

no i 100% get what you mean monsoon open bracket zplays forward slash fridge system close bracket, rex and mul-t and similarly large survivors feel way slower than the rest of the cast

haughty crag

but they do all move at the same speed

haughty crag
#

he also accelerate slower

dire sail
#

am i remembering things differently or doesn't heretic get more speed b/c they are special?

mental temple
#

Like how they feel in terms of movement is so powerful I don't actually believe they all move at the same pace

blissful torrent
#

heretic is funky as heck she gets giga stats

vapid dagger
#

Its actually funny to me bc the characters id rank above commando are all arguably better at proccing than commando or have an easier time avoiding damage (besides acrid)

#

Or at least comparable proccers

mental temple

Again it does Not Feel That Way Chat

no we know 😭 we're agreeing with you

Acrid is the exception within my top 5 entirely bc of poison being as good at scaling as it is

i love getting the goobessa check mark it makes me feel so smug

like hell yeah i DID know the thing

shut grotto
vapid dagger

Artificer is lower acceleration but similarly weighted to characters like huntress and commando

dire sail
#

i feel like i dont want to admit seeker is among the best because runs as her usually feel like the start is slow, then i reach False Son or Wing and am like "wow i did not expect that fight to go by that quick"

Mul-t is both low acceleration and high mass

He moves like a dumptruck

He doesnt stand still for kjaros to do much outside of specific circumstances

Runalds however will chunk him pretty good

blissful torrent

would assume he was stationary for at least part of it but idr how much of it he actually ate

blissful torrent
vapid dagger

iirc it ticks 12 times

I remember this bc i think if you strike him with exactly 400% with 1 band it ticks for 100% damage

Thats the absolute lowest it can go

oh interesting

and obv 300% total would be 1200

What my question is
Are they bracelets or rings?

i assumed bracelets but actually

#

if they're bands as in wedding bands they'd be rings

vapid dagger

And if they are the latter thats more than one for each finger

i like to think they'd be rings for the eldar lemurians, but they're so big that they're bracelets for humans

i haven't looked closely at the cave lemurains tho

Imagine putting on fifteen rings on one hand and just decking mithrix in the face like the rings are a sort of bracer for your fist

in early access content update 5 the patch notes call them rings

what an unfortunate acronym

hehehe he hehe semen

i guess the alternative was march content update and that's easily confusable with the marvel cinematic universe

The musically challenged update

I love MCU

Which if im not mistaken was actually the ONLY content update to NOT feature a new track from chris up to that point

its usually worse than 1 brooch dude

if you dont build into it anyway

blissful torrent
# swift halo why is ageis so harped on

to get value from aegis you need a solid amount of healing items, which a) is unlikely in a standard 5 stage + commencement run and b) could've been scrapped for better items instead

sonic tangle
#

and if you do what the hell

#

the only times ive had aegis value are with desk plant

#

why do we not hate on headstompers though

sonic tangle
#

because rheyre really good

if you're looping aegis is fine but if you're looping you're god anyway

its a bit hard to explain why headstompers are good but theyre very good

yea on mithrix it's a lot

yeah he can do that lmao

vapid dagger

And is just kind of nice to have otherwise

sonic tangle

luckily it doesnt matter since you can just hit items out of him anyway

because he shoots like 10 shots and then recharges them all at once

sonic tangle
vapid dagger

Yeah it stacks terribly

Bc gearbox is afraid of printers

blissful torrent

the same thing happens with visions of heresy (the lunar that replaces your primary), after the 2s cooldown you get 24% max hp barrier

sonic tangle

gearbox loves this shit dude

gearbox annoy me so much with their reluctance to allow stacking in whites

i often scrap headstompers because it leads to be getting stray shots in the air

20% +5% 40% +10% 1% +0.25% 100% +10% 80s +10s

these are all different items with shit stacking

oh yeah 5% +1%

and then there's cransion

what ac item even has good stacking

its literally so good despite its simple mechanic

Hikers boots is a slightly worse crit glasses that stacks way better

A bit yeah

crying

sonic tangle

its not bad in a vacuum

but its factually way less impact than the first stack

vapid dagger

Honestly id just change it to 5% but with hyperbolic stacking like stun grenade

sonic tangle
#

even excluding the boss drops

blissful torrent
#

also shoutouts to wecho for being actively detrimental to stack if you don't have synergies with it

#

unless they changed that

vapid dagger
#

Is it?

wet marsh
#

so 1 wecho > like 2 and 3?

vapid dagger
#

Medkit still goes off in the middle of the damage ticks and it gives you a LOT of time to heal the damage back

wet marsh

whoa...

i think in very specific cases it can be

regardless wecho stacks like shit so

vapid dagger
#

It kind of doesnt but its effect is already so whatever that i dont care

blissful torrent
# vapid dagger Is it?

you have to wait for all the delayed damage ticks before its cooldown starts, so if you have no items to work with it then extra stacks give you no extra value on a longer cooldown
