[steady vector]

You cant save and continue a run later, same with multiplayer

Im sure theres some crazy ass bug or glitch that let's you though

Also god damn why is NOBODY on granblue

[fallow sedge]

On console you can rejoin the invite idk if steam works the same

[steady vector]

You can rejoin the lobby but idk if you can rejoin the game

HOLY SHIT MY ARM

[haughty crag]

iirc ye

as long as you still have the lobby code

[steady vector]

God damn it... I was just at the doctor's today and now my arms fucked up

Couldn't have broke yesterday instead... fucking hell

[steady vector]

Just cant rejoin the game. Gotta wait for them to be done

[frosty haven]

ALL HAIL BENTHIC BLOOM. 🫡🫡🫡
TURN ALL MY DAMAGE ITEMS INTO BEHEMOTH

[steady vector]

Is that the thing that takes your items and upgrades the rarity?

[frosty haven]

Yes and I love it

[steady vector]

We are opposites in that regard. I like control over my items

[frosty haven]

I live for the chaos

Ego and Benthic in one inventory is not for the weak

[steady vector]

Unless theyre all changed at once. That'd be cool. Instead of the shrine of (uhhhhh idk) making each rarity the same and sucking. Make a shrine of chaos that takes the number of items you have, and randomizes all of em.

[frosty haven]

I just realised i have the piss blessing

W rnjesus

[steady vector]

If you have 99 syringes, you now have a random inventory of 99 items. Not stacked. Just... random shit

[steady vector]

The huh

[frosty haven]

Aurelionite blessing

[steady vector]

Oh

[frosty haven]

it’s the aspect🤤🤤

[steady vector]

Im glad you're having fun lol

[agile kestrel]

The new DLC, I forgot what it's called, will add this

Zombie Storm or some shit i think

wait nvm hollowed concepts

[steady vector]

Bullet storm duke of switch.

[frosty haven]

I got 9 benthics I’m so fucked💔💔💔🤤🤤🤤

[steady vector]

Can't put down the bloom

[frosty haven]

At least I have god drones

8 spare drone parts

[agile kestrel]

risk of rain rain rain sahur

[frosty haven]

Oh my days i’m in love with benthic I have so many racks

[sage python]

think u can

[steady vector]

probably has the viscosity of baileys and the taste of vermouth.

Viscosity? Idk.

[cedar coral]

recycle or nah

about to do solus wing

[sonic tangle]

tesla coil is stupidly strong

[cedar coral]

good for swing and sheart?

[sonic tangle]

keep that shit

[cedar coral]

bet bet

[sonic tangle]

very good for sheart pretty good for swing

tesla coil plays the game for you

[tepid ledge]

W run or L run

[cedar coral]

wait should I roll to try and get something to make ultimate meal

I have a clover

[sonic tangle]

ehh

[golden linden]

great set

[cedar coral]

not worth it?

[sonic tangle]

id take consistently outstanding over maybe getting something a bit better sometimes

[golden linden]

you don't have it's log?

[cedar coral]

idrc about logs ill get the item eventually

[sonic tangle]

also

[cedar coral]

I just wanted it to use it

[sonic tangle]

you can make cherf with tesla coil

[cedar coral]

cherf?

[sonic tangle]

and i noticed you can make a second atg too

[golden linden]

charged perforator

[cedar coral]

yum

[sonic tangle]

if you get lucky with either kjaro or runalds bands you can make sauteed worms

you can throw a green at spex 3 times to recycle and see if that gives you a band

[golden linden]

pauldron lol

[sonic tangle]

or sacrifice your beetle guard

to maybe get a merf outright

then you have sauteed worms and an extra atg

[cedar coral]

oo

[steady vector]

Animal crossing welcome amiibo cards

[cedar coral]

alr bet

[sonic tangle]

computational exchange has really funny item macro with recycler

[golden linden]

doesn't kjaro have a recipe of it's own

[cedar coral]

looks it lmao

[sonic tangle]

you can turn runalds and gas into kjaro

[cedar coral]

aw I dont have a runalds

[sonic tangle]

you can also throw your sonorous at spex to reroll it for potentially a good red

[cedar coral]

and that

[sonic tangle]

solutional haunt chests trust

[mild cloak]

Best red in the game btw

[cedar coral]

solutional haunt has chests...?

[cedar coral]

which

[sonic tangle]

if youre ending your run at solus heart it doesnt matter

[mild cloak]

Nvm then

[golden linden]

yes on the drifter room

[cedar coral]

oh I wanted to do false son and mithrix after this

[cedar coral]

oh yeah

[golden linden]

a big chest
hand with 3 items
small chest
and a hidden chest

[sonic tangle]

false son is gonna be in a loop so you need to loop first then do false son and then mithrix

[cedar coral]

ye

[sonic tangle]

if youre doin that then keep sonorous

[cedar coral]

alright bet

[golden linden]

if they're looping they have big chances for getting something for ultimate meal

[sonic tangle]

personally i would sacrifice beetle guard to the recycler gods

[golden linden]

lotta reds on the way there

[cedar coral]

alr

ill do swing and come back if I win

[sonic tangle]

also i dont remember every recipe that creates a red or yellow item but those are good with recycler too

[cedar coral]

alr

[golden linden]

well look at that

you have guillotine and bandolier

you can make brainstalks and that makes ultimate meal

hmmm would be really fun to make crafting tree images for the meal items

[cedar coral]

back

I died to swing

@golden linden @sonic tangle

[fresh idol]

skibidi

[cedar coral]

aw man they didnt come fast enough

im joking swing was easy as shit and oh my god i got a dios from the large chest

AND A KJAROS

[agile kestrel]

i am a how take but jester of the drowned isnt very good

the auto activation is gort of decent i think

if youre running spinning tonic

however if you use something that requires aiming for example royal capacitator or sawmerang then that kind of fucks up the item

[golden linden]

you can have both now

[cedar coral]

what am I making again

[golden linden]

sauteed worms and ultimate meal

[cedar coral]

oh yeahh

bet bet

[golden linden]

that's the thing, there are more equipment that work good with it than not

capacitor exemple is good but if you think about it just turns into a high powered shuriken

so it'll matter on the targets that matter

[cedar coral]

do i sacrifice gas and goat hoof for a volcanic egg

it'll be better for shart than goboo I think

[golden linden]

no

[cedar coral]

alr

in that case do I sacrifice will o wisp and rose buckler for little disciple

keeping in mind that im probably moving faster than wally west rn

[golden linden]

can't make all the choices for you mang

[cedar coral]

yeah fair enough lmao

I think I rely on this discord too much for information ill start making my own decisions

[abstract oyster]

my loading is stuck at 61

[cedar coral]

oh wow recycler and spex is a nutty combo

[golden linden]

too many mods or conflicting mods

[abstract oyster]

ok

[abstract oyster]

i have starstorm hand and icons

[frosty haven]

Benthic X Ego🤤🤤🤤🤤

Had to reroll my character on void reavers to get railgunner mastery skin

61 Zoeas
60 Orphaned Cores
66 Focus Crystals
22 Benthic Bloom
11 Aegis
33 Ego

You do not know how tempted i was to hit the order shrine on the moon

[uneven sun]

thinking about it new dlc might have more maps that i like

[primal lynx]

someone give me a hint on how to unlock the characters

[uneven sun]

?

[primal lynx]

it's the purified freedom challenge mostly

[golden linden]

is that one next to chef

[primal lynx]

halcyon seed, false son.

[golden linden]

well that's about it

[primal lynx]

is the halcyon seed something I pick up in the gilded coast?

[golden linden]

you ged halcyon seed and bring to prime meridian

don't kill false son before aurelionite spawn

[golden linden]

yes

[slow dome]

golden rock mom

[primal lynx]

ok. forget what the easiest way to get gilded coast was

[golden linden]

your best chances to find it will be by checking newt every stage

[cedar coral]

I BEAT SOLUS HEART

[slow dome]

shart

[cedar coral]

THAT WAS SO COOOLLLLL

BROO

[abstract oyster]

my loading keeps freezing

i dont even have many mods on

[cedar coral]

the easiest way is to get a halcyon shrine on the sots alt path

another easy way is going to the lunar bazaar

[frosty haven]

W benthic W Ego

[primal lynx]

I've used the halcyon path, I don't recall seeing the gilded coast

[tender badge]

chat how do you roll pot

for the bands

i feel like sisyphus

[rustic fjord]

And is it possible to roll these pots? I just used engi

[tepid ledge]

Use Engineer

[primal lynx]

what is "you hear thunder rumbling" in the bazaar?

[tender badge]

is that the only way i should be trying to do this

cuz ive heard the bands are really good on loader

[primal lynx]

you can roll the pots but it's pretty tough, the easier way is to use engineer and put a stationary turret on one button and then stand on the other

[tender badge]

i just can never get them on loader then?

[rustic fjord]

Bands are goated for everyone

[primal lynx]

you can. but you need to press both buttons and go to the secret room to unlock them. then you can pick them up with any character

[tender badge]

wait you need to press the two buttons everytime to open the door no?

[rustic fjord]

Ye

[fallow sedge]

It unlocks them into the normal item pool

But also you can press it down as loader by using either effigy of grief or her pylon to press it down

[tender badge]

wait whaaat

[fallow sedge]

The former does require an equipment tho and the latter does require quick and good movement

Yah

Welcome to big tech city

[primal lynx]

just use engineer the first time, it's easier

[tender badge]

i need to do it everytime for the guaranteed bands tho

[primal lynx]

yes

guys what is rumbling thunder int he bazaar

[rustic fjord]

Or use the commando artifact

[rustic fjord]

This is a message from the DLC, but I don't think it's relevant on the bazaar

[tender badge]

das lame tho

[fallow sedge]

There's secret geodes you can break in there to enter the path of colossus

[tender badge]

what even is the intended way of opening the door?

[fallow sedge]

Multiplayer, but then also pots and engi

[onyx grove]

of course i get gilded coast in lunar seer when i don’t need it

[primal lynx]

I found one and cracked it. do I need to crack multiple?

[mild cloak]

Having a buddy

You are FORCED to play ror2 with a buddy

[primal lynx]

also, I picked up the lunar item that makes me purchase only when levelling. I'm in gilded coast, am I toast?

[cedar coral]

its not on the path you need to get a halcyon shrine while on a stage in the path

[tender badge]

there is no shot the devs actually intended for the pot rolling strat to be the main way for solo💀

[mild cloak]

Yeah

[fallow sedge]

Yah :)

[cedar coral]

then it spawns a gold portal that takes you to the gilded coast

[fallow sedge]

If you're max level you are literally soft locked yes

If you aren't then you can get out it's just ugly

[tender badge]

one must imagine the survivor happy

[cedar coral]

rumbling thunder means theres a colossus path stage in the lunar seer

rumbling thunder is dialogue that plays when you have a chance to go to the path of the colossus

[fallow sedge]

Nope

Lunar seer is irrelevant

That is strictly for the geodes

[mild cloak]

Taking longstanding while going for fs is the worst thing you could possibly do

[vital escarp]

not really

[primal lynx]

so how do I enter in the colossus path? find geodes and crack them?

and then a portal shows up?

[deep stream]

Halcyon shrine which spawns on the first stage of every loop, thats the main way to do it

And u can use the geodes in the bazaar but only in stages 2 and 3 I think

[primal lynx]

oh it's the same path as that, where I meet the false son?

[deep stream]

Yes, thats the colossus path

[deep stream]

And another way to do it is the gilded coast through an altar of gold or the lunar seer

[deep stream]

Cooked

[primal lynx]

is that item ever good?

[cedar coral]

you can do that orrrrr you can take the gilded coast from the bazaar and after killing aurelionite a portal to the path spawns orrrrrr you can take a portal straight to the path from the bazaar

[remote birch]

No

[cedar coral]

this run is fucking amazing

i dont think dying is possible

[primal lynx]

seems like the halcyon shrine is waaay easier, don't know why those other options are there

[worldly haven]

anyone else having performance issues recently? i'm trying to do the 25 minute loader unlock and i can't stop lagging

it was fine like 3 days ago

[harsh trout]

if you have a couple money gen items it's one of the most op items in the game yeah

[frosty haven]

Not getting any on Xbox

Might be a PC issue

[harsh trout]

being able to genuinely just outscale the enemies with base stats alone is absurd

[cedar coral]

yeah 100% way easier lol

[tender badge]

how do i die on loader with aegis is it genuinely a skill issue or am i missing something💀

[sage python]

aegis is pretty bad

[tender badge]

3 red items on one run with loader and a big lizard makes me eat shit

[tender badge]

what ive heard its good on loader

[harsh trout]

it doesn't really interact with her in any special way

[sage python]

its probably worse on loader than other characters tbf

due to how barrier drain works

[harsh trout]

if anything it's worse on her than usual bc she doesn't use stuff like scythe well

and barrier drain yeah

[tender badge]

whats barrier drain

[sage python]

barrier naturally decreasing over time

[harsh trout]

basically barrier decay scales exponentially with how much you have

[tender badge]

ou

[harsh trout]

so if you have nearly full barrier it goes away way faster than if you have like 1/4 barrier

[sage python]

only sorta

the full barrier will still last longer

[tender badge]

btw what are some notable items that allow loader to stay alive?

[harsh trout]

yeah that's an oversimplification

[sage python]

because the drain slows down as it gets lower

[primal lynx]

why are you so intent on using loader?

[tender badge]

mobility is a little out of the question considering i need to facehug every enemy i come across

[sage python]

you dont need to facehug everything

[harsh trout]

no item is gonna save you if you do that yeah

[tender badge]

im new still trying out all the characters

[primal lynx]

try them all out. for me I found loader pretty restrictive to use

[cedar coral]

chat should I scrap my tesla coil before mithrix

[harsh trout]

you should be focusing more on using the grapple to line up big charge punches, which is also amazing mobility

[cedar coral]

I dont want to lose this god run because I was too op

[sage python]

are pretty good

[sage python]

but yeah

[primal lynx]

yeah loader is more of a "do this to do really good" or nothing

[cedar coral]

loader so damn boring

[sage python]

the faster you hit womething with charge fist, the more damage it does

[hollow walrus]

hello guys

[sage python]

loader is strong

[cedar coral]

?

[tender badge]

when charging you cant sprint tho

[sage python]

you can start sprinting again

[tender badge]

it always slows you down to a crawl when you try to charge

[primal lynx]

mithrix isn't that good as at using your items against you. but if you're melee I can see hwo tesla can be a problem

[harsh trout]

you can, starting the charge cancels the sprint but you can just start again

[sage python]

but if you are airborne from using grapple, sprinting doesnt make much difference

[harsh trout]

you can also grapple while charging

[primal lynx]

when mithrix first came out he OBLITERATED you with your items

[cedar coral]

nah im huntress lol I'll be fine

[tender badge]

whaat

[sage python]

default binds make it hella awkward though

but yeah

[cedar coral]

obliterate you say?

[tender badge]

so primary attacks on loader arent the main source of damage? does that mean items like syringe are bad

[sage python]

syringe still makes her util charge faster :)

[tender badge]

oh my you werent kidding about the hella awkward thing

[sage python]

idk why they didnt just make charge punch agile

[tender badge]

is there no way to change keybinds on each specific character?

[sage python]

no 😔

[tender badge]

😭

[onyx grove]

drifter is really fun

[cedar coral]

and thus concludes the best run of all time

...and so she left, yearning for her next great hunt.

[hazy summit]

average risk of rain 2 experience past loop 2

[cedar coral]

LOL

what the humble stone titan sees on my 5th loop of the operator run

I cant believe I just:

• beat solus wing
• beat solus heart
• looped
• beat false son
• beat mithrix

the most delicious run i have ever had by far

unlocked ALL of huntress's skins in one run

[worldly haven]

never doing that again

welp, might as well unlock clover this run too

[novel tartan]

The fact that you didnt do voidling is a crime

[terse fossil]

You should unlock clover on commando

You'll also get one of his alt skills this way

But you can't have any lunars

[wet marsh]

500 atgs

[timber zephyr]

Yooo anyone got the 3D model.of artificer front and back, im tryna make the skirt part of the cosplay and cant figure out the dimensions of the back to cut out

[cedar coral]

I wanted huntress mastery skin

also there's NO need to do voidling ever

[cedar coral]

oo thats a cool thing to cosplay

[rancid bear]

Apparently the obelisk was not playing around when it offered me to obliterate myself

[timber zephyr]

Thankyouuu ❤️, im making it all by hand

[tribal axle]

hiii

[rancid bear]

Salutations

[cunning hollow]

Hallooo Chat

[rancid bear]

What's the class you use most? Or character, haven't caught the difference yet

I'm in love with the captain 🥀

[blissful torrent]

both are correct ^^ i think technically the 'right' word is survivor but people are still gonna know what you mean if you call them characters or classes

[sage python]

commando

[hybrid vale]

Hi guys

[blissful torrent]

hi btw chat how is everyone today?

[hybrid vale]

Im ok

[sage python]

im doing pretty alrighty

how are you?

[rancid bear]

I'm alright myself, just got deleted in an artificer run

[rancid bear]

Roger Roger aye

[hybrid vale]

Deer Mann?
Like
Darr Mann…

[somber void]

if i skip the celestial portal when will it spawn again?

[blissful torrent]

i'm okay ty ^^ far too hot tho

[sage python]

roger... roger...

[rancid bear]

The what

[sage python]

im out of the country rn, but a mancunian friend told me it was 35 yesterday

[hybrid vale]

Darr Mann

[agile kestrel]

Dhar Mann

[hybrid vale]

Oh that’s how you spell his name

[rancid bear]

Nah it's Deer, literally the animal

No references

[sage python]

hope you dont melt

[cunning hollow]

70% certain it spawns on every stage 3 after looping

[rancid bear]

I am nobody but a captain simp

[agile kestrel]

It doesnt spawn on Sulfur Springs though, only on Rallypoint Delta and Scroched Arcres

[hybrid vale]

Why does everyone simp for that guy

[cunning hollow]

...that's so dumb

[rancid bear]

I mean simp is an exaggeration, I just like it cause it's a very convenient survivor

[cunning hollow]

Old Hot War Man <3

[blissful torrent]

idk the exact temperature but i'm in the south which i think is slightly hotter than manchester

[rancid bear]

You know what this is also valid yeah

[steel badger]

can tyou somehow take items between stages with the new guy

[blissful torrent]

thank you i will do my best 🫡

[sage python]

ouchie

[agile kestrel]

tell that to hopoo

[wet marsh]

haiiiii :3

[rancid bear]

Wassup

[wet marsh]

i havent looped in literal ages but that cant be true at all

every map has a celestial portal actually

i mean, stage 3 loop yk

[agile kestrel]

You have not experienced the bliss of a diego strike

[sage python]

im in spain rn and its colder here than where i live

[steel badger]

dont you do the thing on the blue thing for the blue portal

[wet marsh]

strike em down diego 🤤

[hybrid vale]

I… don’t have it unlocked yet 😔

[agile kestrel]

You should prolly unlock it

[rancid bear]

Is there a difficulty higher other than the "HAHAHAHA" or is the game just fearbaiting

[blissful torrent]

are you sure? it doesn't say anything about this on the wiki page

[hybrid vale]

Fear baiting

[wet marsh]

thats the newt portal but if youre playing on anything not eclipse, looping and going to stage 8 will spawn a slightly darker portal that lets you end the run

[cunning hollow]

I'm jealous :( I wish I was in spain rn

[hybrid vale]

To hard

[cunning hollow]

actually no I don't I like being home, I get to play DND and ROR2

[steel badger]

ah the obliterate thing

[wet marsh]

i just remembered a loop run i did with operator recently it spawned on post loop alluvium so thats straight up wrong

[blissful torrent]

'spain' and 'colder' do not belong in the same sentence

[rancid bear]

It's like mentioning a fruit in a sentence about pizza

[cunning hollow]

pineapple on pizza my beloved <3

[sage python]

got air conditioning here too, im well chuffed

[blissful torrent]

pineapple on pizza enjoyers are in shambles rn

[wet marsh]

i do see the vision of pineapple on pizza but seriously it is NOT my thing 💔

[cunning hollow]

EXPLODE- I'M SO JEALOUS-

[rancid bear]

I can't even complain because that's just how cuisine works

[hybrid vale]

I wish my house had ac

[sage python]

i put the tomato sauce on the pizza

[blissful torrent]

you can buy it on steam! it's a pretty good dlc

[primal nova]

Chat I js got seeker of the storms 🥹

[wet marsh]

this dude really wishes their house had solus distributors in it 😭

[rancid bear]

WHAT, oh hell naw Nuh uh, you did something that is supposed to be done with pizza?!?

[hybrid vale]

Actually I already have it on Xbox

[wet marsh]

actual fate worse than death

[primal nova]

👀

[cunning hollow]

the sweetness adds depth that I really enjoy

[hybrid vale]

Thats a little big isn’t it

[primal nova]

I needa reget everything on ps5 😭😭😭

[sage python]

i say this like its not still too hot for me

could be worse

[rancid bear]

What do you think is the best music genre to listen to while playing ror2? 🤔

[primal nova]

Which means doing that annoying pesky rg challenge

[wet marsh]

the sweetness is alright but it doesnt go well at all texture wise

[blissful torrent]

game soundtrack is peak tbh

[sage python]

proc rock

[primal nova]

Either the game's ost or imho color bass

[timber zephyr]

The Artificer Boots have been painted 💅

[blissful torrent]

yea agree on this actually, i don't mind pineapple on pizza but the texture is so jarring

[hybrid vale]

How big are ror2 enemies actually

[rancid bear]

Honestly valid

[sage python]

🥁🥁📀

[hybrid vale]

Like could you keep one as a pet

[blissful torrent]

i liked your joke fox

[wet marsh]

i usually take it off when its on it TwT

[rancid bear]

Commando should be the size of an average person

[sage python]

beetles are the size of small cows

[blissful torrent]

beetles are cow size iirc

[wet marsh]

the sweetness still lingers but i dont mind it too much

[rancid bear]

Does that mean we can herd beetles like cows?

[wet marsh]

that also means mithrix is canonically like 3 meters tall 👀

[hybrid vale]

Would they taste good?

[sage python]

this is pretty much what stage 1 phase round commando gameplay is

[wet marsh]

fucking huge ass body

[rancid bear]

Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today 🗣️

[wet marsh]

WE are cracking mithrix twin 🥹

[sage python]

thinking about board game mithrix miniature

[cunning hollow]

forget cracking Mithrix, I'm getting cracked by Mithrix >:3

[rancid bear]

Mithrix was menacing on my first run then I realized he just does nothing

[hybrid vale]

How big would the worms be then

[wet marsh]

my brother just another me waow

[rancid bear]

Bro is just throwing hands in the air and missing everything

[hybrid vale]

Or
Long I guess

[cunning hollow]

the only time I'm ever scared of Mithrix is when he's stolen all my stuff and it's not even that I'm afraid of HIM it's that I'm afraid of MY STUFF

[wet marsh]

lets eyeball it and say its like, 200 beetles wide

[rancid bear]

[wet marsh]

or long idk

[cunning hollow]

fuckin- long as shit

[wet marsh]

gang where are your items

[rancid bear]

stand ready for my arrival ahh stance

[cedar coral]

class is the survivor, character can be anything from the ror2 universe

[cunning hollow]

Twin where is your stuff-

[cedar coral]

but if you replaced character with class in that sentence we would still know what you mean

[rancid bear]

What do y'all mean my stuff

[wet marsh]

items hello

[rancid bear]

That was all my stuff

[wet marsh]

dude has 1 crit glass, a tri tip and a dream 😭😭😭

[primal nova]

Oh no I js spawned 2 of the aure' from the halycon shrine

[hybrid vale]

Thats a lot of food

[cedar coral]

I think I use acrid and mercenary the most but im gonna start maining huntress cos of this run i just had

[rancid bear]

And I still folded Mithrix don't play w me!!!

[blissful torrent]

23 items in 55 minutes is quite surprising

[wet marsh]

drizzle

[cunning hollow]

you have 23 items after 55 mins-

[cedar coral]

holy perfect timing btw

[rancid bear]

It was my first run EVER

[cunning hollow]

ok that's fair then-

[sage python]

🧡

[wet marsh]

fair but try learning map layouts and buying every chest you see

[rancid bear]

I was more busy looking around at the environment than looking for chests

[blissful torrent]

as you should

[hybrid vale]

You know how long do runs usually take lore wise
Cuz they’d have to eat sooner or later right

[cedar coral]

valid

[rancid bear]

Oh yeah I do that now

[wet marsh]

this guy plays for immersion instead of sweaty macro???

what the fuck is this

[rancid bear]

I bought the game because it looked aesthetic

[blissful torrent]

just play the game however you have fun tbh

[wet marsh]

lmao

i really enjoyed the simplicity of not having any dlcs on

after i do a couple of e8s done i think ill disable all of the dlcs and do an old fashioned run

[blissful torrent]

i think sots and ac in particular add a lot of complications to the game

sotv adds stuff obviously but it feels like it could be basegame if that makes sense?

[cunning hollow]

peak reasoning, now let it take over your life and start macroing the shit out of everything

[wet marsh]

macro wise sotv added like executive card but thats really it

sots and ac added a lot...

[sage python]

ive said this probs a good dozen times

[blissful torrent]

say it a bad dozen times instead

[rancid bear]

I think the obelisk was ragebaiting (I died)

[blissful torrent]

shrine of order value

[cunning hollow]

but what about an evil dozen times

[wet marsh]

500 lepton daisies

[rancid bear]

I found out the hard way it was NOT playing around

[austere prism]

yeah it feels that way cause sotv doesn't add any paths to the run just an event that can happen

but some void items are busted as fuuuck

[wet marsh]

NEVER take a shrine of order unless multishops/chest loot is helping you out and your current stuff fucking sucks ass

[sage python]

i bought ror1+2 at the start of 2021 because some guy called low hanging nuts was talking about how much he likes the holdout zone mechanics, and i saw then for cheap in a CEX so i bought them both cause why not

[blissful torrent]

an event and item tier that honestly feels like it could've been in the base game

[wet marsh]

like you can actually macro that by deliberately not picking up items during the stage and then hitting the shrine

[rancid bear]

So uh, I used it to buy the artificer, and then I did the shape cube thing

[blissful torrent]

i love the implication that pleading face emoji is the embodiment of good

[cedar coral]

🖤

[rancid bear]

The pain of finding out a giant jellyfish can oneshot me

[cedar coral]

why does void fiend have the superman underwear

[blissful torrent]

because he's a super guy

[cedar coral]

superguy

holy tuff name

[austere prism]

to be fair it's glowing the entire area blue as it charges

[cedar coral]

thats the kind of name reserved for a guy thats super

[sage python]

theres a bunch of the gifs, stems from ss2 server github reaction war and this series of gifs

[wet marsh]

the jellyfish cannot oneshot you if you stand behind a wall

despite what it seems it will NOT hit you if youre not in its los

[sage python]

i find it very amusing

[blissful torrent]

nothing can actually technically oneshot you

[sage python]

the plead actually predated the nemmando

[wet marsh]

blah blah blah osp the humble shaped glass:

[rancid bear]

I just thought I had to outrun the area of effect 🥀

[wet marsh]

no as long as it cant see you you cant take damage, that goes for like 90% of the enemies currently in the game

[blissful torrent]

that works too, or killing it before it explodes

[cunning hollow]

that took way too much effort chat it was not worth it

[sonic tangle]

does the nova have falloff

[blissful torrent]

don't think so

[cunning hollow]

I thought it did?

[sonic tangle]

damn lmao

lemme check

[wet marsh]

the los and electrocution blocking is VERY finnicky though and it only comes with time, you can consistently block its attack

[cunning hollow]

I swear I always take less damage when I'm at the border than when I'm close to it

[rancid bear]

Wait
Obliteration at the obelisk counts as win?

[wet marsh]

even i get hit by it whenever i stand behind a wall thinking im safe

[wet marsh]

yeah but the real win is killing mithrix

[cunning hollow]

yepp

[sonic tangle]

doesnt look like it does

[wet marsh]

if the end screen isnt red its a win 🔥

[sonic tangle]

yep congrats

[cunning hollow]

things only count as losses if you die (it's not a loss if your fate is unknown)

[little basin]

Ello guys

[sonic tangle]

yeah if it says defeat then you lost

[cunning hollow]

Ello demon flower

[sonic tangle]

any other ending is considered a win

[rancid bear]

Just 2 wins so far then

[sonic tangle]

turns out the nova has a coeff of 3.0 lmao

[rancid bear]

How hard is monsoon exactly?

[steady vector]

RAHHHH

[rancid bear]

RAHHHH

[upper wing]

depends on experience

[sonic tangle]

it can be very hard your first couple of times

but its possible to get consistent wins on it

[rancid bear]

4 hours into the game

[sonic tangle]

its not too bad with experience

[upper wing]

its pretty difficult when youre starting out but when you get good at the game it becomes doable

[sonic tangle]

many people play monsoon as rheir default gamemode

[cunning hollow]

if you've only played drizzle it'll feel HARD but also, as soon as you start getting items, it doesn't feel much different

[sonic tangle]

you just have to be efficient and knowledgable

[wet marsh]

i got my first monsoon win like 20 ish hours in

[upper wing]

ah. monsoon might kick your ass a little but dont let it demotivate you, its perfectly doable by anyone

[steady vector]

Quite hard especially if youre somewhat new. On console its absolutely insane, on switch its so hard it feels modded.

[wet marsh]

if you played rainstorm only its not that bad at all

the passive healing can suck a little bit but other than that its not too bad

[sage python]

monsoon isnt much harder when you are used to it

[wet marsh]

be wary of enemies as most can usually do significant damage after stage 4

[sage python]

its defo more forgiving

[upper wing]

the increased scaling definitely makes things harder

[sage python]

id say biggest change is the regen

[rancid bear]

Guess Trying to unlock the captain skin is worth it then

[steady vector]

Theres a change to that?

[sage python]

but also i play fast runs anyway so i likely underestimate scaling

[upper wing]

eclipse could be the “go fuck yourself and die” mode but i feel like the modifiers are either incredibly boring or needlessly limiting

[rancid bear]

Thank you game for telling me in the difficulty info "you will die."

[sonic tangle]

the scaling is definitely the big thing past stage 1

stage 1 the regen does suck

[sage python]

40% reduction

[sonic tangle]

but get a sufficient healing item and youllbe fine

[rancid bear]

For the captain, supply beacons are just the abilities right?

The two beacons you call in

[cedar coral]

ong that huntress run i just had

[sage python]

monsoon is very fair

[cunning hollow]

that's eclipse, it's a climb, it starts as basically Monsoon and then gets more negative modifiers as you go up

[cedar coral]

mithrix fight was basically just king of nothing vs queen of everything

[upper wing]

eclipse 5 is a weird one because halved healing just makes great items mid, mid items bad, and bad items scrap

its not really fun

[sonic tangle]

no monsoon also says that lmao

[upper wing]

i gotta look into eclipse mods

[sonic tangle]

the game is bakanced around rainstorm

[sage python]

i think it depends on what you find fun tbf

[cunning hollow]

OH! lmao I misunderstood lol-

[sonic tangle]

but monsoon is super fair

[rancid bear]

Nah it's monsoon, only modifier I have available is the artifact of honor

[fallow sedge]

i like it cuz it makes it so my mistakes are more prominent :)

[agile kestrel]

ROR2 hates me bruh

[sonic tangle]

eclipse is a different thing dont worry about it yet

[upper wing]

i feel like e8 does this better

[rancid bear]

Yet

[fallow sedge]

having 0 healing on stage 1 is really intresting to me

[sage python]

i defo see a draw to (near) necessitating item macro

[fallow sedge]

that one is more permament yea

[agile kestrel]

three consecutive clay dunestriders

[sage python]

its an alt gamemode that is pretty much the opposite of what i enjoy, but i respect it

[fallow sedge]

but its also less directly punishing

[sonic tangle]

just know its the hardest vanilla difficulty

[sage python]

except e1, e1 sucks balls

[rancid bear]

Time for the first monsoon dive

[upper wing]

i dont think current eclipse is poopoo fart garbage like some people say it is but i wish the modifiers were a lil more creative

[agile kestrel]

well its fine i hit the jackpot earlier i didnt know these things could have free reds

[dawn summit]

At least for me eclipse 3 is honestly too annoying to play with and it kills my motivation to continue it

[sonic tangle]

e3 is annoying but i can understand its purpose

it makes escaping a fight by jumping off a ledge way harder

[gray slate]

so is it normal that multiplayer scales MUCH harsher than singleplayer? unreasonably so?
if i play solo i can play on monsoon quite decently
in 2 player it gets quite hard
but god forbid i play 3 players ON NORMAL DIFFICULTY
it feels like after 2-3 stages most enemies effectively oneshot you (often with multihits so you cant even react if you ever get hit) and especially my newer friends dont have fun as they spend most of their time as drones, with even me dying quite a bit more than if i play solo

any advice here?

[sage python]

i think sometimes people try to suggest reworks it to be balanced like monsoon+, which im not too fond of

[dawn summit]

I have never done that ever LOL
Maybe I have but most of the time I take fights

[vapid dagger]

its like 50% faster per player so yeah

[sonic tangle]

multiplayer also spawns plenty more chests and of course you have friends as lifelines

[sage python]

it has issues, but an alt gamemode changing balance makes sense

[sonic tangle]

its generally easier than singleplayer if everyone is competent and lag isnt an issue

[upper wing]

yeah id rather it be a full on “YOU WILL DIE AND YOU WILL NOT LIKE IT” mode

[gray slate]

yeah, i can see that deaths being much less punishing because of revives/becoming drones has to be balanced around
but just getting oneshot all the time feels... like its not the best way for that

[sonic tangle]

multiplayer aint for everyone

[upper wing]

i wish hopoo leaned more into the stupidity and brutality of eclipse conceptually

[vapid dagger]

the advice is divy up items more or alternatively actually mind the timer and focus more on getting more items within that time frame

[sage python]

i would love a new regular difficulty above monsoon, but i would hate for it to be eclipse of that makes sense

[upper wing]

yeah

[sage python]

eclipse works surprisingly well

[frosty haven]

Give me eviler Monsoon and my life is yours

[sonic tangle]

i think monsoon is a nice max default difficulty

[sage python]

for how little thought they seem to have put into it lol

[upper wing]

can you imagine if gearbox made a fourth difficulty and made it dlc exclusive

[sonic tangle]

stop giving them ideas

[upper wing]

they wouldnt do that

but i wonder sometimes

[gray slate]

we try to divide items relatively evenly, and giving items to those that need them most, though its really hard, because most characters want most items

e.g. if i play bandit i leave glasses for others, but take other crit items, but everyone wants bands, or movement items for example

[austere prism]

like instead of being hard because of the stuff it adds like less gold and perma damage per stage it's testing your ability to be efficient/macro per stage?

[vapid dagger]

the insane difficulty scaling of multiplayer is only offset only somewhat by the extra items

[upper wing]

i can confirm that if we arent playing efficiently enough the game does become a lot harder

[vapid dagger]

the rest of it is offset by the fact that you have more players overall and one of you dying isnt instant game over

[worldly haven]

why do i have 2 max hp

[upper wing]

transcendence

[frosty haven]

Do not give Loader players movement items. Worst mistake of my life🤬🤬🤬

[gray slate]

like objectively its busted that people can just die and come back as drones
but man, being a drone all the time is REALLY unfun

[worldly haven]

which is why i'm asking, why do i have 2 max hp

[sage python]

both ror1 and rorr do difficulty better i think

[vapid dagger]

my guess is its rounding up from growth nectar

[gray slate]

we somehow dont have a single loader main in our group

[upper wing]

oh youre asking because it isnt the usual 1

[worldly haven]

yes

[upper wing]

my bad

to be honest im not actually sure thats a good question

[frosty haven]

My group would consist of Commando Commando Loader and Merc but I can’t play with the rest of them since i’m xbox and they’re pc

[sage python]

i wonder if its nectar

[robust plume]

Guys don´t download the commando skins pack mod and look at the name of loader´s commando skin you´ll die

[frosty haven]

Commando skin pack mod

[upper wing]

okay

[gray slate]

anyway, i play mostly bandit, railgunner and operator
any advice on certain types of items i should prioritize getting over others, and items i can leave for others (besides the aforementioned crit glasses on bandit)

[vapid dagger]

for bands its actually ideal for players to split them mostly evenly unless youve got a good gameplan involving loader being able to just fuck off for 10 seconds while everyone else dances around the target

[knotty canyon]

you have 2

[worldly haven]

show, or i'll put pickle juice in your humidifier

[frosty haven]

Bandit and Operator are my most favourite aside from Mando but Huntress and Arti are growing on me

[sonic tangle]

you can also get a tinker drifter and cheat the entire game

[agile kestrel]

Is it just me or is monsoon actually kind of easy once you get the hang of it

[vapid dagger]

crowbars and on hits

[frosty haven]

I mean isn’t that how everything goes

[terse sedge]

Yeah pretty much

[haughty crag]

the friend group

[terse sedge]

Anyways, morning yall, hows yall day been doing?

[haughty crag]

That's learning

[sonic tangle]

its pretty perfect difficulty i think

[frosty haven]

I forgot how large False Son’s player model is

[gray slate]

as in, keep them? on all 3?
the problem is though, arent MOST dps items on hits?

[haughty crag]

Do something over and over again and you slowly get used to it

[sonic tangle]

i still die on monsoon

[vapid dagger]

theres a good bit of them but yeah

[frosty haven]

It’s 12 am but we’re chill

[vapid dagger]

depends a bit on the loadout you choose for each tho

[sage python]

most damage items are good

[sonic tangle]

not enough to be frustrating but enough to keep me on edge

[frosty haven]

Did a Benthic Ego run with metamorphosis it was fun

[gray slate]

i feel like all my main really like bands and on hits and the like
but if i just take them all what does that leave for my friends

[worldly haven]

i just checked the wiki page, transcendence doesn't mention anything about increasing the amount of existing hp after conversion, and neither does the wiki, so there is some kinda weird synergy going on

[sage python]

oh right multiplayer

[vapid dagger]

railgunner also definitely could use on kill effects

[frosty haven]

No it does that

[vapid dagger]

but as far as defensive options i mean you just take what you can

[haughty crag]

Ancient footage

[knotty canyon]

okay but you have two and that's why you have two hp

[gray slate]

let me ask differently
what (damage focused) items i could LEAVE FOR OTHERS easily as bandit/operator/railgunner
i struggle with finding items that would be better on others, that arent exactly crit glasses on bandit and railgunner

[sage python]

loader likes bands, crowbar and focus crystal especially
railgunner likes crowbars, aoe and doesnt like crit chance
operator likes proc items

[terse sedge]

Idk

[agile kestrel]

what the hell are these big armed mfs

the blue and black looking ones

[echo idol]

who up jailing it

[knotty canyon]

void jailers

[sage python]

defo leave crit as railgunner and probably as bandit too

[haughty crag]

watch out

[frosty haven]

Jailers they’re the goats

[terse sedge]

Those things, are your biggest nightmares

[haughty crag]

they can pull you

[vapid dagger]

as railgunner and bandit leave crits
for operator thats a harder question

[agile kestrel]

im skipping this void seed and just running to the teleporter

the void item is NOT worth it

[frosty haven]

They root you and pull you and they have a shotgun

[sonic tangle]

try fighting them

[haughty crag]

they have a pull attack

[frosty haven]

If you get hit by the root then you DIE.

[sonic tangle]

the classic running in a circle strategy works

[terse sedge]

Just fight em

[sage python]

operator is pretty versatile, just leave items when you have enough id say

[vapid dagger]

oh yeah backup mags are kind of mid on all of them too

[frosty haven]

That’s why I like Operator

[vapid dagger]

for operator its like fine but you get so many drones with him that increase m2 that you dont really need backup mags

[gray slate]

i feel like theres NEVER enough, when it comes to fighting enemies in MP

[vapid dagger]

operator could honestly focus more on getting the drones

[sage python]

oh yeah for operator in multiplayer, it may be worth holding off on items so your teammates can get them in favour of drones

[sonic tangle]

i hardly know her

[sage python]

whats wrong with it

anyway

[robust plume]

the cum loader

[gray slate]

certainly feels like i have to take every movement skill i can in MP, i love operators firewall, but when a single drill robot can oneshot me, i cant afford to slow down

[wet marsh]

👀

[wet marsh]

well movement is important in survival more than anything else

[vapid dagger]

movement tends to be overall very strong bc it lets you pick your battles

[wet marsh]

excluding damage items ig

[vapid dagger]

even more than damage id say

for most characters at least

[wet marsh]

i feel like theyre equally important since if you dont have any damage enemies can keep getting lured into you

[gray slate]

my friend tried playing artificer in MP yesterday and kept dying and all i could say was "yeah you really want ion surge i guess"

[haughty crag]

those who know

[wet marsh]

and if you cant damage enemies its a quick death

[sonic tangle]

speed needs less items to reach its necessary cap in a run

[upper wing]

i wonder if im gonna like the ror board game

[sonic tangle]

and that cap doesnt change much

[sage python]

is god here?

[upper wing]

its basically the ror2 board game but they called it the ror board game

[frosty haven]

Show me all the commando skins

[robust plume]

i just closed the game im not fucking doing that

[upper wing]

not a single thing from rorr/1 in sight

whatevah tho

[frosty haven]

I’m literally crying and on my hands and knees please bro

[sage python]

well its reusing art isnt it

[upper wing]

i like ror2 im not complaining

[sage python]

or atleast some of it

[robust plume]

and thats with just two tentabaubbles LMAO

[upper wing]

why did they make a fucking gup expansion for the board game

[robust plume]

i think people like gup but that´s just a hunch

[sonic tangle]

and a clover !

[agile kestrel]

i just got blasted to hell and back in two secons by 8 stoen titan lasers at once, screw this im just going to disable SOTV

[upper wing]

gup funny! orange blob funny funny i like toys

[robust plume]

OH THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE

[sonic tangle]

that was your mistake

[agile kestrel]

i hate this shit game

[sonic tangle]

shouldve cleared the void seed to ensure no infestors were about

told you to fight the jailers

also youre rushing like crazy

[sage python]

its kinda weird how gup went from an enemy that appears on one stage to a mascot

and its not even a good stage

[sonic tangle]

stage 7 30 minutes is quite difficult if you dont know what youre doin

[sage python]

its the one with ropes that slow you down and has stupid parkour everywhere

hive cluster grrr

[haughty crag]

Looping aint for the weak

Gear up

[sonic tangle]

looping with that little on the timer yeah

granted acrid is acrid

but yeah less items means more reliance on your skill

[sage python]

i wonder how differently gup would be percieved if they looked sad

[sonic tangle]

no gas vs 1 gas

[sage python]

like in ror1

[robust plume]

thats a lotta grovetenders

i wonder what they have to say about the lore of risk of rain

[frosty haven]

hey that reminds me I saw my first grovetender in 3 months

[tender badge]

does unlocking an artifact force you to loop the run?

[sage python]

yeah

[frosty haven]

It died when i got close to it because of my 50 egos

[tender badge]

oo

[rancid bear]

Just paused my monsoon run, what do the beads of fealty do?

[frosty haven]

Go to the obelisk and find out

[wanton dock]

Obliterating sends you to Him

[sonic tangle]

it does something with the obelisk

[rancid bear]

IF I get to the obelisk, IF

[sonic tangle]

you can do it some other time

[frosty haven]

No you WILL cause you’re awesome.

[robust plume]

its a more interesting way to end your run than just obliterating

[frosty haven]

I don’t wanna hear this debbie downer stuff you’re COOL and you’re AMAZING

[haughty crag]

@golden linden when are we rex racing again

[rancid bear]

the only awesome thing is not fighting the jellyfish 😭

Stocking on gunner and missile drones

[sonic tangle]

every enemy will kill you at some point and you will have to learn them

[rancid bear]

[sonic tangle]

the vagrant is just an extreme example

[rancid bear]

I FOUND THE ANTLERS AGAIN

[vapid dagger]

i got bored of the new stuff again

[haughty crag]

Retro...

[sonic tangle]

so retro

[rancid bear]

I also found an artifact that replaces one of my abilities with ruin, what's ruin?

[frosty haven]

retroslop

[sonic tangle]

read what the item does

tab and then click that item

[frosty haven]

Ruin makes your special turn into a damage thing that does i think 300% regularly and adds 120% per stack of ruin

[rancid bear]

Just replaces my special skill with ruin

[sonic tangle]

i think the game pauses when tabbed but that might be a setting

[frosty haven]

you have to hit enemies to inflict ruin

[rancid bear]

So it's just a death projectile

[blissful torrent]

basically your other abilities apply a stack and using your special detonates all the stacks

[sonic tangle]

you need to hit enemies with other attacks to build it up

[blissful torrent]

and deals damage based on how many stacks it detonated

[frosty haven]

yea and it’s awesome

[rancid bear]

I forfeited my supply beacons for this, has been worth it so far

[sonic tangle]

its very good on captain yeah

[blissful torrent]

yea on captain it's a pretty big upgrade to his combat power

[rancid bear]

Goated run with the jade elephant and energy cell

[sonic tangle]

your m1 applies a ton of ruin

[rancid bear]

I am taking NO damage

[worldly haven]

who needs a family event when you have artifact of kin

[left wedge]

fr

[sonic tangle]

dont get overconfident

[frosty haven]

on CAPTAIN I think it’s pretty good for damage dealing but it also depends what beacons you were running

[sonic tangle]

ror2 has a habit of suddenly instantly killing new players

[rancid bear]

Paused on 22 minutes and I'm already at "I SEE YOU" 😭

[sonic tangle]

ignore it

the level stated is what natters

[rancid bear]

I've died more to falling off the map and getting one tapped than anything else

[frosty haven]

When you’re this far in the timer means not a lot

[sonic tangle]

yeah its something you can avoid with experience

certain enemies do this and this and you wont learn until you die to them

[rancid bear]

Giant orb sending me in the sky easily countered by double jump

[sonic tangle]

for example elder lemurian fireball attack at close range

instant death especially if that elder is an elite

[rancid bear]

The captain also had some active protection, projectiles don't affect bro 😭

[sonic tangle]

as long as they dont instantly spawn on you

so dont get complacent

[vapid dagger]

call it what you want im having fun again

[sonic tangle]

and if theres too many you can get outprojectiled

[rancid bear]

Oh yeah my worst enemy that isn't a boss has been the elder lemurians and parents? Idk what they're called

[sonic tangle]

yeah im calling it placebo

[rancid bear]

Yeah those

[sonic tangle]

theyre fairly dangerous with low speed especially

[rancid bear]

I was in the sky meadow and a boss variant of it spawned

[sonic tangle]

oh that guy

[rancid bear]

I got incinierated

[terse sedge]

Wdym children arent in that list

[sonic tangle]

yep

[rancid bear]

3 of them I think?

[sonic tangle]

do you wanna learn what they do yourself or do you want an explanation

[rancid bear]

Explain 😭

[sonic tangle]

they summon a big sun that incinerates anything not taking cover

[rancid bear]

The what

[rancid bear]

IT'S JUST THE JELLYFISH

[sonic tangle]

except this isnt an instant damage burst like the jellyfish

you need to hide for an extended period of time

until it ends

[rancid bear]

Oh so that explains my survivor smoking and then being deleted

[sonic tangle]

also dont be surprised if your drones drop like flies

that attack is very good at killing drones

basically unavoidable lmao

[blissful torrent]

childs are dlc only so if they don't have dlc they won't have seen them

[rancid bear]

Yeah I was left with 2 drones by the time I got to half health with that boss

I have the base game only

[sonic tangle]

it inflicts a damage over time effect that strengthens the longer you stand in range of the sun

and it wont go away even if you take cover too late

you have to stay in cover the entire time in order to avoid damage

[rancid bear]

Okay so, any ranged boss: cover or die

[sonic tangle]

it goes from scary to just really annoying after a while lmao

[sonic tangle]

not all of them

for example stone titan lasers dont have perfect tracking

you can circle them at melee range

cover is useful for them but circling lets you get more damage in

i swap between the two strategies a lot

[rancid bear]

Come on riesgo de lluvia 2, just 6 more stage bosses mijo 🥀

[rancid bear]

4 stages in one of my drones died to an orb

[sonic tangle]

go repair it if it didnt fall into the void

[rancid bear]

Spawned in a very inconvenient position so I doubt I'll get it, too lazy

With that said, back to the paused run

[sonic tangle]

gl

[rancid bear]

I'll remember the obelisk thing

[sonic tangle]

youll need a crap ton of damage output to deal with the beads of fealty btw

they have a reputation of softlocking players with too low damage

at the obelisk ofc

doesnt do amything other than that

[vapid dagger]

man i didnt realize how much i hated having to deal with the new enemies

bc im having so much more fun now

[rancid bear]

I died 🥀

'Rekt'

[sonic tangle]

i think youre just used to the old stuff

[sonic tangle]

rekt

[sonic tangle]

except scorch worms those genuinely suck

[unique hawk]

Hopoo pls

How the fuck was I supposed to find that without a radar scanner

[cedar coral]

this was one SCARY mithrix

[terse fossil]

FUUUU-

[agile kestrel]

that is what you get for playing railgunner on drizzle

[cedar coral]

whys it say slowly lol

chests left behind zero is insane

[unique hawk]

i'm on rainstorm

[coarse merlin]

All's quiet on the risking and raining front

[unique hawk]

what

[agile kestrel]

that is what you get for playing railgunner on rainstorm

[unique hawk]

ok

[terse fossil]

idk

[terse fossil]

nah

[vapid dagger]

and i think the novelty of the new stuff just has no hold on me

i dont play for new content

i play to have fun

and the new content isnt fun for me

[sonic tangle]

thats tuff

[agile kestrel]

Drifter is the worst survivor of all time

why yall ❌reaction me

im talking about the ror2 one not the rorr one

[blissful torrent]

because you earned the ❌ reaction

[rancid temple]

and you still wrong

[blissful torrent]

drifter is strong and a lot of people really enjoy her

[rancid temple]

drifter is arguably one of the best, and her at special is quite possibly the strongest skill in the game

[blissful torrent]

strongest utility skill

[cedar coral]

drifter is an amazing survivor but I find her incredibly boring and you probably feel the same

[sonic tangle]

i think drifter is likeeee

[agile kestrel]

I dont even own allowed collective im just saying this because I dont like her design

[cedar coral]

how does one larp risk of rain

[sonic tangle]

idk upper 40% maybe

[rancid temple]

well you were very unclear about that

[blissful torrent]

wow okay this person doesn't like how the trans character looks mods ban this guy

[sonic tangle]

drifter is a bit overrated but shes good fun

[cedar coral]

shes trans? canonically?

[gentle copper]

whole petrichor mad 😭 💔 ✌️

[blissful torrent]

yes

[terse fossil]

replace the "drift" with "railgunn"

[rancid temple]

yea litterally where does it say that

[cedar coral]

overrated yes good fun in my opinion no

[blissful torrent]

dev who worked on her returns design confirmed it

[rancid temple]

ah ok

[cedar coral]

oh cool is she the same person from returns

[gentle copper]

alternate universe where the word drift has been swapped with the word load

[agile kestrel]

railgunner is pretty good actually

[terse fossil]

why are we trashing on loader

[harsh trout]

most likely yeah

[rancid bear]

How are those survivors even unlocked

[cedar coral]

thats cool

[gentle copper]

because i hate loader.

[agile kestrel]

railgunners the only one that theres an achieveent for dealing 1 billion damage with one shot

[harsh trout]

it's not directly confirmed but the ac lore implies it pretty heavily

[blissful torrent]

dlc

[rancid bear]

Understandable

[cedar coral]

you get operator by buying the dlc and you get drifter by beating the dlc boss

well its a bit more complicated than that but still pretty simple

[blissful torrent]

railgunner, seeker and operator come free with their respective dlcs and each dlc has one or two other survivors you can unlock

[cedar coral]

I wish sotv had skins

[sage python]

just now realised what qwp called him 😭

[jade stone]

money

[blissful torrent]

OH MY GOD

i have never noticed that 😭

[unique hawk]

seeker's sojourn challenge reuires more damage

[terse fossil]

Big Dee

[blissful torrent]

500,000% no?

[rancid bear]

Unbelievable!!!

[cedar coral]

no it doesnt

[terse fossil]

ye which is more than 1 million damage

[unique hawk]

500,000% damage at guaranteed base 12 damage is 6 million

[vapid dagger]

so the game did start to get boring
can you tell me at what point that happened?

[blissful torrent]

ohhhhhh i thought it was 1 million percent

[cedar coral]

thats a good point

[unique hawk]

nononono

[jade stone]

wdym

[blissful torrent]

no wonder i got it pre-loop

[rancid bear]

This looks like peak gameplay tbh

[jade stone]

just click the stone if you want to end ur run

[vapid dagger]

its when i picked up spare drone parts

[cedar coral]

after you got the spare drone parts

[vapid dagger]

when i no longer had to play the game

[blissful torrent]

yea droneman is one hell of a drug

[cedar coral]

lol

[vapid dagger]

bc drones did everything

[agile kestrel]

Seeker's sojourn damage is only 500,000 buddy, railgunner is 1 billion

[blissful torrent]

i was stuck in a heavily cope run and then i got empathy cores droneman stage 4

[jade stone]

i lowk don't like drones they ruin my crowbar

[rancid bear]

Dronesies

[blissful torrent]

raillgunner is 1 million flat damage, seeker is 500,000%

[vapid dagger]

i find that frustratingly important to note bc AC drones are already basically autoplay without drone parts

which is why the game gets so much more boring so much faster

[sage python]

im not a fan of the drone stat changes personally

[upper wing]

i like the drone changes but thats cuz i love summoner characters so making everyone a summoner to an extent feels really cool

[blissful torrent]

i think it's fine that drones were buffed but they didn't need to be buffed quite as heavily as they were

[sage python]

at least the new drones and the old drones are similar in balance

[rancid bear]

What's the loader like?

[blissful torrent]

she's fun

you swing around the map and slam into enemies at mach 10

[jade stone]

loads at least

[vapid dagger]

loader does a lot of punching

[jade stone]

her description says she's slow

[vapid dagger]

she attacks slowly

[blissful torrent]

her description is such a lie

[jade stone]

that can't be further from the truth

[vapid dagger]

she moves
very fast

[rancid bear]

Dim witted fast handed

[jade stone]

she's saitama

[vapid dagger]

but in very predictable and fairly limited paths

[blissful torrent]

i think they mean that with the alt utility and special you're more of a melee brawler than a hit-and-run machine but even then you're very quick

grapple is just the zoomies machine™

[vapid dagger]

she is a wrecking ball

[rancid bear]

Understandable

I came in like a wrecking ball!!! 🗣️

[vapid dagger]

"whats heavier a pound of feathers or a pound of stone?"
"5000 TONS OF STEEL"

[agile kestrel]

How it feels to be a captain main watching the loader and railgooner mains fighting again

[rancid bear]

What's heavier though
5000 tons of feathers?

[vapid dagger]

5 MILLION TONS OF STEEL

[rancid bear]

5 MILLIONS TONS OF MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS
