Just turn on Boundless Dream. Easy to achieve with that.

#

You need Boundless Dream turned on for one of the other quests anyway.

hi if a scroll says it increases dmg dealt is that all dmg dealt or just weapon damage?

main forum
#

The scroll should specify if it affects a certain type of damage, E.G spirit bible increases skill damage but not weapon or elemental damage.
If it doesn't specify any type all damage types should be affected. E.G. double edge.

Is there anywhere to look at builds?

warm iron
#

So when you transition stages, you auto collect and sell anything left behind..

#

Does it also sell weapons that are left in vaults?

coarse sundial
#

Also I assume yes with vaults

Just got a stage with a lot of weapon drops.. time to test once and for all

1968 gold and ~6 weapons in the vault

#

2650, yeah it definitively sells the vault stuff.

To my knowledge, youtube has a lot of resources. Find a youtuber who has a similar playing style (eg. like aggressive player or sniper play, etc etc). Otherwise, you can probably just ask. Most of us has a lot of knowledge and are willing to help out.

#

Any specific character or style you're curious about?

which guns and gemini are the best for xi ziao?

im using this one

#

usually its weapon>character when it comes to gemini

but there are any gun the fits with this character? or just use anything

cobalt dock

kinda use any, he has slight favor of using 1 mag weapons

This is where the fun begins

Well, general tips for her would be that she's pretty squishy and doesn't exactly have any mobility to speak of. Her secondary can be used for stagger but other than that, you're either killing them quickly or struggling. You also don't need to use fire weapons since fusion effects are pretty consistent using her primary and secondary. Slap on some lightning damage and you got consistent perma stun in manipulation. Her primary is also stupidly strong. A very straightforward and effective way is just charge it up before you enter a new room, let it rip and meteor whatever is still alive.
The primary can be built up to easily carry you through the entire game. The most important ascension would be Firefox blessing level 2 since the evolution is a massive power spike due to flat damage but also increased aoe that lets you one shot most things. If you find Flare Calling, pick that since it's free stagger and energy without having you stop shooting at them.

Heat recovery is very nice since it will just passively proc over and over for "free" shield regen which offsets the shield recharge delay. If you're going for full skill damage, the primary is much easier to get going than the meteor but meteor is alright and provides a ton of energy build, so that's neat. She has a lot of internal synergy so as long as you balance your energy spending and don't get overrun, it should be fairly straight forward.

#

Like, she has so much internal synergy that it's hard to pinpoint exact which ascensions are best since having synergies between them.. like finding more firefox ascensions when you already have Firefox blessing might be straight up better than flare calling if it suddenly causes you to one shot enhanced mobs that you couldn't before.

#

I really like getting an aura of venom for elemental share gemini, especially if I have Fiery Heat which makes firefox guaranteed to trigger burning. Slap decay on them and the combustion bonus damage just.. deletes stuff. Other geminis, I think, aren't nearly as impactful unless you already have a good weapon going and if you do, you probably already know which gemini would suit it better.

in boundless dream when i rest i save the game, so i can quit and continue before?

#

im afraid to lose my run, so i didnt quit yet

nimble flint
#

boundless and endless are just like normal runs regarding saves

viscid adder
#

So like when using ao bai (the dog) the sharpshooter goblet upgrade says “-1 second cooldown for each remaining second of remaining duration”

How do i cancel it midway or is it just worded badly?

fallen escarp
#

Cancel charge button, default is middle click. Also switching to Foundry works too.

#

It is also worded... sub-optimally.

viscid adder
#

Im on steam deck so computer terms are lost on me lol

Is middle click bound to another action ingame like swapping weapons or throwing grenade?

Thanks (:

fallen escarp
#

It's the cancel charge button. Whatever you use to cancel a shot you've already charged up.

I remapped mine but I think it was either a dpad direction or joystick button like L3/R3

Well you're still only at 20/30 ascensions for another quest anyway.

Hardly, given the second loop and beyond you get to keep less ascensions.

I got defeated by the ship boss.. what's there after that boss.. is there a 4th stage

Yes.

And technically an alternate boss to the ship boss.

just keep playing ;)

how do i even use weapon skins?

#

Hello 👋🏻 you have a tier list héros/weapon ,for me i am New player i dont now what play

fallen escarp
#

There's pretty much no solid tier list for heroes or weapons. Hero tier varies based on difficulty, weapon tier varies based on the hero used and the difficulty.

coarse sundial
#

the only thing I can really think of that will have the slightest validity of a tier list to it would be endless performance, but that just pretty much boils down to pushing game limits...

#

I should really push the limits of each character, but I already know who the top 3 are without a doubt

mental orchid
#

Who ?

#

I have dlc IS not a problem

coarse sundial
#

I am just rambling about endless, really you should find what your playstyle is and try the characters

#

as everyone is really different to how they play in the game outside of endless tbh

mental orchid
#

I have already tried almost all the characters I think that Nona is really very strong but apart from her I don't see anyone broken

coarse sundial
#

you need to explore the characters further then, because they are all broken

#

Nona is pretty much the most beginner friendly character

#

as you dont even need to play the game to win with her

#

let your big boi chicken do all your work

fallen escarp
#

Though some are still broken.

#

Like Nona.

coarse sundial
#

Ironic how Nona is probably the easiest broken character yet she is the opposite in endless lol

coarse sundial
#

poor birb

fallen escarp
coarse sundial
#

that and she doesnt keep up

#

at the same time, you have to have the most sweatiest setups to even see the "struggle phase" in endless

#

because the average round I see people end in endless is like in the 10s

fallen escarp
#

Power frontloaded hero.

#

Starts great, ends poor.

coarse sundial
#

people would enjoy endless more if the timer was more fluent and forgiving by the tiniest bit

#

like, a nerf and a buff to the timer

#

Longling should give very little time back

#

whereas Jokul should give more time

fallen escarp
#

Well I had that idea where the initial time limit is increased massively, but time gains get smaller as you progress.

#

You inevitably fail, but if you suck you've got more time to suck.

#

Though that's technically not endless.

coarse sundial
#

nah

#

I think what I stated would work better

#

I think what would be real fun is that more and more enemies appear the higher you progress, but that might be difficult given that gunfire reborn uses fixed spawns in the main adventure

#

I think how it would work is that extra random spawn algorithms could be added in more as you progress in endless

spice wave
#

I ain't reading allat

#

NOOOOOO!!!!!!

fallen escarp
#

Give it the Merciless Combo treatment!

coarse sundial
#

Dual edge: 0.5% DMG, 0.2% damage taken

fallen escarp
#

The Merciless Combo treatment is just a cap. Pretty much.

coarse sundial
#

there is a hard cap of 60K that isnt mention for Dual Edge and EC

fallen escarp
#

+1% DMG, -0.2% DMG Resistance per stack (up to 200 stacks)

coarse sundial
#

eh, would be literally pointless for endless

fallen escarp
#

Exactly.

fallen escarp
#

And yet it would still be one of the most powerful damage scrolls.

coarse sundial
#

I mean Extravagant is much more reliable in endless, but that scroll dont need to change because without it you have no chance in endless

fallen escarp

now we talkin’

Just like Dual-edge would still give -40% DMG Resistance.

coarse sundial
#

New update: endless is literally unplayable!!

#

The 10% of Gunfire fans who play endless:

fallen escarp
#

Correction: Endless is now much harder to last forever.

#

Because the intent for most games that have endless mode is, as far as I'm aware, to eventually lose.

coarse sundial
#

I do think that there should be challenge auras in endless that prevent any protection to lethal damage and disable spirit feline

#

or spirit feline and such should be banned if Endless is chosen

fallen escarp

Casual gamers when they can't breeze through the hardest mode in the game:

cursive creek
#

thank god for rifle adjustments

fallen escarp
#

Only if they sucessfully fix stuff without introducing new problems.

#

I'm not hopeful that'll be the case, but I'm sure people will praise them regardless.

junior wave
#

main issue i saw with rifles is the roles/alt fire they have kinda suck

#

dragon chaser vs other weakspot weapons like revealer and rainbow

#

rainbow arch vs normal heavy hitters

fallen escarp
#

All weapon categories have weapons that suck.

#

Rifles you just don't have much benefit to using them despite that.

graceful phoenix
#

just that i understand this correctly. this means you can choose between booth seasons but not play booth at the same time? so it will not integrated into the base game how it normally works in season/league type games like PoE for example? why would you want such a system?

To ensure the experience of the seasonal gameplay, you can only choose one past season, and the current season's content will be temporarily disabled. Considering the maintenance challenges of integrating new version content into past seasons mode, we currently do not support experiencing new version content in past seasons mode.

rotund timber

It sounds like the dream. The super simple answer that no one ever does

graceful phoenix
rotund timber
#

That sounds like powercreep

graceful phoenix
#

sounds like more powercreep = more fun -- for my taste

rotund timber
#

Like. We all expect the new mechanisms to be broken right? Combine that with arcane ascensions. Then with whatever they introduce next season.

#

We already expect powercreep. That just sounds like a recipe for them having to rebalance.

coarse sundial
#

Having both at the same time sounds dumb

graceful phoenix
# coarse sundial Having both at the same time sounds dumb

you ever played any other game with a season system? games who dont integrate them into the base game are having way less players than games who have such a system. which gives me to idea that most people like having booth and dont want to loose content which they previous had in their game OR have to decide which one they CAN play.

rotund timber
#

The difference is that POE is 1. Willing to rebalance and nerf everything into the ground.
2. Willing to have an extremely cluttered game with a massive learning curve.

coarse sundial
junior wave
#

yall aint ready for the midnight built +1% damage on a tuesday evening

coarse sundial
rotund timber
#

Also its not just typical seasons. League has seasons technically. It updates over time. I have always wanted to go back and play on older versions of the game, but not everything that has ever been in the game is healthy

coarse sundial
#

^^^

#

Me personally I thought arcane ascensions sucked, they were very flawed

#

Fun, but wasn't really good for the game given how dumb they were

rotund timber
#

There are certain builds that are really cool with them. Im glad ill still be able to play them if i want to.

coarse sundial
#

Yeah and that's perfectly fine

#

But having both at the same time just makes the game pointless

#

Of course nobody knows how OP the next season things are until tomorrow, however having both could just make the game more of a walking simulator than it needs to be

nimble flint
#

Also if one wants to take the PoE compare

#

not all goes core

#

soooooo

#

Devs still can do whatever they want but having all seasons active at the same time would be too oppresive

#

that is as if you would constantly running heists with delirium in the mines

#

mechanical overload

thorny quiver
#

would also be difficult to implement two seasons due to how they are given. chests now = 1 scroll 2 seasons.

fallen escarp
# graceful phoenix sounds like more powercreep = more fun -- for my taste

You know, the logical conclusion to this sort of thought is that the game gets so overloaded with powercreep that, whenever you enter a room, all enemies die instantly without your input because all your super OP passive bonuses murder them.

If the game ever reaches a point where you win every battle but none of your decisions matter and you can't even do anything to contribute, would you still say it's fun?

You know, the logical conclusion to this sort of thought is that the game gets so overloaded with powercreep that, whenever you enter a room, all enemies die instantly without your input because all your super OP passive bonuses murder them.

sounds like a ton of fun to me (seriously! i love to be op and clear multiple screens at once... which is basically the endgame now anyway in r9 🤷‍♂️

fallen escarp
#

So you consider not being able to do anything because the game does everything for you... fun.

graceful phoenix
#

so if you reach this in endgame its fine for me, but dont need to be at start

fallen escarp
#

If that's what you enjoy, why not just play an idle game?

#

Same thing, basically.

graceful phoenix
#

So you consider not being able to do anything because the game does everything for you... fun.

you ever played nona rockets? its basically this

fallen escarp
#

Idle games also end up with bigger numbers too, so you'd enjoy it even more.

graceful phoenix
#

idle games are mostly the exact opposide. your a god at first lvls but then you hit a wall and the powercreep is gone into an endless w8ing room

fallen escarp
#

But the endless waiting where the game does everything is exactly what powercreep would do, which you find fun.

So you would find that in idle games fun. So go play an idle game.

graceful phoenix
#

ty for explaining me what is fun imho and what not. now i know what i had left in my life

You're welcome. Now go enjoy your fun idle waiting!

Huh. That new scroll "Scroll Enhancer" sounds like you literally cannot use it until you get the Golden Touch talent or activate Boundless Dream/Endless Journey.

Because unless it forcefully allows you to recycle scrolls while you own it, you cannot recycle scrolls to trigger its effects.

#

About as useful as Intimidating Presence being available to you on Normal difficulty.

#

anyone else's ascensions not working? (also weird chinese 2nd goblet)

junior wave
#

so wait

#

dragon chaser basically got nerfed

#

+5 damage + 30%rof on mark but -.5 critx

fallen escarp
#

It got buffed.

#

It went from 85 non-crit, 212.5 crit, to 90 (117 with mark) non-crit, 180 (234) crit.

#

The only nerf here is critting without a mark, which good luck achieving that consistently.

junior wave
#

i guess its nice to play into the mark more but still outclassed by the other weakspot weapons

fallen escarp
#

Additionally, lowering the base CritX will make all bonuses to CritX more effective overall.

fallen escarp
#

Buffed the rifles to make the game even easier, but likely doesn't solve anything.

#

Exactly as predicted.

#

Oh wait, it does have 1 other nerf that's probably not even intended.

If you miss the mark, you waste ammo faster.

junior wave
#

most rifles need a better gimmick/alt fire except maybe lightning blast

#

that thing just has a slow bullet velocity if i remember

fallen escarp
#

The gimmick it has got buffed a while ago where it speeds up projectile speed.

#

So if the bullet velocity sucks, it's the gimmick's fault still.

hello I need help

how do you get the endless journey achievements?

im doing reincarnation 9 with endless enabled

after the 4th stage you will get the option to loop

#

you need to loop

#

also

median dove
#

oh so the loop itself is when i get the first achieve?

#

and then im assuming the second loop is when i get the other one

unkempt portal
#

are you using boundless dream? or endless journey?

median dove
#

bizarre dream with spiritaul link thats it

#

i simply enabled endless & rein-9

#

im on desert rn in first run

unkempt portal
#

are you using that one?

median dove
#

what does that mean

unkempt portal
#

or that one:

#

So basically.

median dove
#

the infinite symbol yes i checked that

unkempt portal
#

Yea

#

so the first one doesnt have a time limit

median dove
#

i have a time limit?

unkempt portal
#

once you beat boss 4, two portals will appear you want to interact with the one to loop

median dove
#

gotcha well.. I guess i'll update when I get there

unkempt portal
# median dove i have a time limit?

Endless journey gives you around 10 mins to get as far as possible. every team you complete a stage (IE get the portal open) then the timer gains time

#

every time sorry

median dove
#

so you said there is a way to disable time limit?

the other one is boundless Dream which is endless just every stage the enemies get stronger and stronger so its go till you die basically

#

it just needs to not exist

fallen escarp
#

Oh, so nitpicking.

#

You just don't like how it slows things down.

unreal horizon
#

Uhh... yeah, that's my primary issue with multiplayer in total

#

Wasting time

junior wave
fallen escarp
#

Well sorry to say, but you're never going to be able to play multiplayer without wasting time, no matter what they change.

unreal horizon
#

"guys can we sit here and trade 50 scrolls so I can get my scroll combos" -game lasts over 2 hours

#

there's a limit

fallen escarp
#

Only way that would be possible is if every player literally had their minds sync'd together to only do lengthy things while others are also doing them.

unreal horizon
#

They could make it so sharing or trading scrolls was limited so you can't spend all game doing it?

fallen escarp
#

Wouldn't that just introduce a new way to waste time as people decide what limited selection of scrolls they want to give?

unreal horizon
#

no, because a lot of decisions are extremely obvious for certain characters

fallen escarp
#

What if you've got more scrolls to share than the limit allows?

You want to share them all, but you have to choose which ones.

#

So now you waste time deciding.

unreal horizon
#

does lei luo need deadly counter? no, but xing zhe sure as hell does

fallen escarp
#

For example, what if you wanted to give a Dog some scrolls you found like Flesh & Bones, Veteran, Gourmet, Fire Enthusiast, Sanguine Relic and Resilient Life, but you were only limited to 3 scroll shares?

Now you gotta decide which ones to give him.

#

Or if you want to not give him all the shares, in case you find a better scroll to give him later.

#

Lots more decisions, which wastes time.

unreal horizon
#

well if your character actively suffers from sanguine relic and flesh and bones then those two you'd want to remove anyways

#

and probably fire enthusiast if it doesn't suit your build

#

most people can use resilient life

fallen escarp
#

Removing the scrolls also wastes time, even if you can't share them.

#

So wouldn't solve anything in that case.

unreal horizon
#

let me pose an alternative, since we already have custom modes, you could just make another mode where there's a share lock competely, no sharing scrolls or weapons at all

fallen escarp
#

Thanks to the way the game is developed, that's not gonna happen.

unreal horizon
#

what does that mean? you can't make a bizarre dream mode with a toggle?

fallen escarp
#

It would nerf players. Players would cry at the nerfs (even if they're optional). Devs would listen to the players crying. Devs would remove or buff the toggle to a point it doesn't even do its intended purpose anymore.

#

This has been what happens for 2.5 years.

unreal horizon
#

I don't think optional modes nerf players, they just give hosts the freedom to play how they want

fallen escarp
#

Did you know Mysterious Jokul, an optional mode that made the game harder, was made easier due to complaints?

#

Did you know that Reincarnation 8, an optional difficulty that made the game harder, was made easier due to complaints?

#

Did you know that Spiritual Assault, an optional game mode that was hard to begin with, was made easier due to complaints?

unreal horizon
#

spiritual assault was hard if you didn't use the mechanics it gave you to make it a joke

fallen escarp
#

Doesn't matter if it's optional. People will complain. Devs will listen. It will become easier.

#

And easier in this case would mean it loses its entire reason to exist.

unreal horizon
#

I stopped playing spiritual assault a while ago so I don't even know how they nerfed it

#

did they make gluttony able to be crit without having to wait for the stomach to pop out?

fallen escarp
#

Heavily buffed spiritual jades, added spiritual seals which are powerful temporary items, nerfed certain enemies that have crowd control, AoE or lifesteal effects, added challenge events that give you rewards which increases your power when completed.

unreal horizon
#

oh, so the version of spiritual assault I first played was the version post nerf

fallen escarp
#

If when you played Chromatic Magazine lets you apply all 3 elemental effect at once, that's post nerf.

unreal horizon
#

yep

fallen escarp
#

That jade is the best example of what they did to make Spiritual Assault easier.

#

You can win by doing literally nothing but reloading.

unreal horizon
#

make it so you can perma CC to win by default with any build? yeah

fallen escarp
#

So that sort of fate? It would happen to a Bizarre Dream which disables sharing between players.

#

The moment people realize it makes them weaker, the devs will do something like give every player +200% total damage for each player on the team, or something.

unreal horizon
#

have they nerfed reincarnation 9 though? seems like tons of people bitch about the shield guys

fallen escarp
#

Surprisingly no.

#

Doesn't stop them from constantly making Reincarnation difficulty itself easier.

#

Like with blessing buffs, new Bizarre Dreams and the current seasonal mechanics that you can't turn off.

unreal horizon
#

you can't turn off seasonal mechanics? I thought they were optional last season

fallen escarp
#

Nope!

#

There is no option to select "no season".

If you start a run and avoid choosing one of the options, the game forces one on you at random.

#

Literally the only way to not use seasonal mechanics is to play on Normal or Elite difficulty.

#

Or Daily Challenge, or Spiritual Assault.

unreal horizon
#

yeah that's a bit annoying

fallen escarp
#

Nightmare and Reincarnation difficulty are permanently affected.

#

So honestly it doesn't matter if Reincarnation 9 isn't specifically made easier. The entire difficulty is being made easier regardless.

unreal horizon
#

was the revealer change a nerf? I barely used it

#

the dragonchaser one feels odd

fallen escarp
#

No idea if the Revealer change is actually an overall nerf or not. I've never used it, and don't plan to.

unreal horizon
#

the new season has way too much shit in it

#

wait... middle mouse is to activate the season ability? but that's my keybind for other things?

#

so this is like... a meta progression throwable gadget

unreal horizon
#

that was... an odd mechanic

#

Knowing that I NEED to do Endless Journey to get the achivement is important

nimble flint
#

This isnt to sound condescending

#

It just literally says so on the achivement

#

yet so many ask

#

Endless Journey, not Boundless Dream

#

But glad it could be of help anyway

#

have fun trying

median dove
#

Wish me luck

#

on my second attempt to get this

#

so far the run is REALLY promising, i am spamming Mecha-drop with the invincible ironwing spiritual thing

#

and making sure my mecha drop does the most damage

#

I killed Pole monarch in 10 seconds counting the invincibilty phases

#

do you think I'll survive the second run of endless?

coarse sundial
median dove
#

OKAY I'm gonna share stuff

#

Should I replace Same Boat with Fake Death just to be safe?

#

I feel like not dying is incredibly important here

coarse sundial
#

Depends on what you have

median dove
#

i dont have any revive scrolls

coarse sundial
#

Show your scrolls and builds

median dove
#

yep doin it now

coarse sundial
#

Also what round you at?

nimble flint
#

This is for the achievement

coarse sundial
#

Or stage (I call it round because I'm mental)

nimble flint
#

so 1st loop

coarse sundial
#

I see

#

Fair

#

So probably around 10

median dove
coarse sundial
#

Earliest round Jokul can appear is 9

median dove
coarse sundial
#

You just started endless?

median dove
#

also I enabled to task-master guy so i could get more bonuses, he's useful

#

and yeah im in the desert waiting to begin

coarse sundial
#

I see

#

You're gonna need extravagant and more so DPS rather than big heavy hits

median dove
#

oh, forgot to mention: My spiritual bonuses are:
Pair of Us | Copycat | Same Boat

coarse sundial
#

But earliest round you can get jokul is 9

median dove
#

i was thinking of replacing same boat with the revive every 45 seconds

#

copycat and pair of us are way too useful

coarse sundial
#

I wouldn't sacrifice it

median dove
#

so keep same boat?

coarse sundial
#

Yeah

median dove
#

aight.. executing now lol

coarse sundial
#

If you get spirit feline you're all good

median dove
#

MAN I wish 😩

coarse sundial
#

Heh

#

Don't worry I still don't have it in my current endless run

#

Sadly I don't think Nona is that good in endless princecri

#

Just not enough Hero DPS

#

But for the achievement you gotta hope jokul appears as early as possible (so 9 or 10 depending if tomb or fjord is next in the rota)

median dove
#

ive beaten the first two zones

#

in about 1:30 each

#

FIRST BOSS here I go

#

wish luck

#

i killed the boss in 10 seconds again is that good?

#

just letting you know the next zone put me in the 1st area

#

UPDATE: I'm going to stage 10, beat the 9 boss really fast.

#

it's the Fjord!!! is that good?

coarse sundial
#

by the sounds of it

median dove
#

yep

#

the first level of fjord done, i noticed enemies took a bit longer to beat there- hoping stage 2 is good as i got 6 minutes remaining

coarse sundial
#

if you are only going for the achievement, that is not good
if you are going for high stages, good

median dove
#

i mean i can still do it right? just 1 more stage then beat gluttony (got pole first

coarse sundial
#

you will either get desert or Jokul

#

and the game will give the opposite boss... until about the 20s

#

then it just randomises it regardless

coarse sundial
#

because it is either that or jokul in the rota

median dove
#

So quick question before i go..

#

does the back to back literally need to be in a single run?

#

or could i beat one endless boss, then get lucky starting a new run to beat the other

fallen escarp
#

Single run.

median dove
#

I DID IT

#

I GOT THE ACHIEVEMENT

#

So it is true: The boss you kill before starting the endless run DOES count in back-to-back

#

Thank you for your assistance gamers, we are once again back in 120/120 100% Achivement zone Nona_Icon

nimble flint
#

Why would it be true ?

#

Thats how it was designedu

#

you technically start the endless run from the waterfall

#

and you are guaranteed to have the other act 4 boss on the second time you get to yokul

median dove
#

Oh, the way the achivement was worded- my thought was you'd have to

  1. First start endless journey (so everything before doesn't count)
  2. Then beat the Duo Fjord during the endless stages twice, meaning 3 total Fjord bosses
#

Especially when you're on the first run and it says "Your Journey hasn't begun yet." I think some people might also get the wrong idea

#

but overall I'm happy with how things turned out. I'm no hardcore player so this was easily the strongest run I've ever had with Nona

coarse sundial
nimble flint
#

it says to beat Gluttony and Monarch in one Endless journey

coarse sundial
#

then for some reason the game disregards giving the opposite boss around there

nimble flint
#

The first two are guaranteed for the achievement

#

the rest is random

median dove
#

well I'm happy with what i got

#

I can now rest

coarse sundial
#

Yeah I suppose
but part of me thinks it is something else
but I can see it definitely for the jokul bit

nimble flint
#

And yokul is the only constant in the runs

coarse sundial
#

pretty much

#

so you dont have to worry about it lol

nimble flint
#

what is between each yokul boss instance can be random

#

so tomb , fjord, tomb yokul is possible

coarse sundial
#

fair

nimble flint
#

But it will be theee acts at random and the 4th will be yokul

coarse sundial
#

you usually get jokul 3rd or 4th act in endless

nimble flint
#

4th

median dove
#

oh cool I unlocked a new weapon

#

is the Storm Chaser good?

coarse sundial
#

yeah the rota system in endless is weird

nimble flint
#

Not really

#

Its random from tomb , desert and fjord 3 times

coarse sundial
#

after doing 1 act you dont see that act for 2 more acts then it is put into the rota

median dove
#

Also the weapon skins are really neat. Does this mean further down the line we could get character skins?

#

I'd love those

nimble flint
#

No sense on those

#

you dont see them at all really

#

Thats why weapons were chosen

coarse sundial
# nimble flint 4th

if you are on about the first loop, I usually get it the 3rd act in the loop

median dove
#

It's good to show off to friends. I'd actually pay money for skinpacks on characters! If anything just to support the devs more

coarse sundial
#

it is an act rota system

#

An endless run I quite literally went 30 ish rounds sometimes without seeing a certain act

fallen escarp

#

I understand that! But even in the lobby it's fun to play dressup haha.

#

# median dove Does it actually work for the achievement?

Hey I'm so sorry I went to bed at that time yesterday, to answer your questions:

  1. They are similar just boundless dream is the easier one as it gets harder the further you go and its not instantly a ton harder
  2. Yes boundless dream is the best way to get both pole monarch and gluttony in the same run as there is no time limit.

So question about the new season thing, are you able to use a different season mode from someone else if you are both in the same Lobby?
Example: Someone wants to use Thorns from season 1, but someone else wants to do the Shield from season 2.

coarse sundial
#

I don't think so, no

#

I don't really play multiplayer, but I think there's some stuff that prevents season 1 having in the run

#

I'll have to double check

nimble field
#

If it isn't a thing, I think it would be a cool thing to add for a fun mode

coarse sundial
#

I think it would be too much

#

Both seasons have OP things, put them together and you may as well get the win screen

#

Without doing anything lol

nimble field
#

Well I do think a mode to turn it off is likely something that would be a good idea

to have it entirely turned off would be a good feature

shrewd carbon
#

ig i could see nona with turret being pretty aight actually

fallen escarp
#

Nona's main draw is the fact she's borderline unkillable.

#

She's like the Birb when it comes to OP heroes.

shrewd carbon
#

the funny blessing that gives iron wing like 10 million bazillion damage for his health

#

bird is good????

#

since when

fallen escarp
#

Birb is the Birb of non-OP heroes.

shrewd carbon
#

i though owl is the only good avian in this game

fallen escarp
#

And given Birb is the low damage character, being the Birb and non-OP means no, you're not good with damage at all.

#

But if you're the Birb of OP heroes, like Nona is, it means she's hard to kill and doesn't have damage that sucks, just is slightly worse damage than the other OP heroes.

shrewd carbon
#

owl sucks ass stage one and then skyrockets into a nuclear bombs (last time i played him)

#

depends on how early u get his ascensions from what i remember

#

and i never actually made fox work ever

fallen escarp
#

Owl is the Bunny of OP heroes.

#

Starts weak and ends strong, but does better.

At least until Endless, which Bunny takes full advantage of.

shrewd carbon
#

what are fox and monke then

fallen escarp
#

Fox is the Tiger of OP heroes. The glass cannon sort.

#

Monke isn't OP.

Dog alone doesn't get you close.

#

At best his base stats and ascensions get you 275.

#

Even including Flesh and Bones and Sanguine Relic that's still only 445.

So at that point you pretty much need Veteran or some even bigger combos, at which point you might as well just get Veteran as any hero.

is dog with ascension fusion warlike blade better for high rof build than bunny?

fallen escarp
#

No.

#

Bunny has Swords Out for even more hits, and Sword Enthusiast to remove any damage issues.

junior wave
#

only one who matches bunny in ROF is energy draining fox

fallen escarp
#

Nope, she's still worse.

errant condor
#

i dont care about swords out hits

#

sword enthusiast is additive right

fallen escarp
#

Yes.

#

But since you can get thousands of damage bonus and lucky shot chance, you don't care.

fallen escarp
#

That's part of what makes Bunny so powerful in RoF. Swords Out is the only skill which has no casting animation.

errant condor
#

isnt life power a bigger bonus than sword enthusiast

fallen escarp
#

Hell no.

errant condor
#

?

#

i see sword enthusiast stack to like 1-1.5k

#

and you can get that much hp

#

the only bunny blessing that even buffs weapons is sword mastery isnt it

fallen escarp
#

You get +4% damage and +2% lucky shot chance per sword, you get up to 54 swords per cast (30 is more likely), and you can cast like, 10 times per second with enough cooldown reductions.

And stacks last for 10 seconds.

errant condor
#

more rof

fallen escarp
#

So you could end up with like, 3,000 sword stacks for +12,000% damage and +6,000% lucky shot chance with those numbers.

errant condor
#

but if your going boundless dog will stack veteran higher eventually

#

itll take a while tho

fallen escarp
#

It's the multiplicative nature of DMG and lucky shots that make it even more powerful.

#

Just those 2 numbers alone you're doing about 738100% damage.

errant condor
#

ok but what if I do a 50 hour boundless run and get to 500,000 hp

fallen escarp
#

Dog would need to kill 369050 enemies at close range to match it.

errant condor
fallen escarp
#

If you're 50 hours into a run, damage stops mattering because of the cap so maybe dog has a chance.

But you have to slowly build up to that point, while Bunny gets there way faster. Plus she doesn't have to get lucky with Ascension Fusion, and if she does she can get even more RoF stuff from that.

#

But at the point you only care about RoF, Swords Out basically acts like a second weapon for Bunny anyway.

You'd only use one of them when Painkiller is not being effective against an enemy.

so most of the damage is pretty much still just miasma build from before?

Combustion is based off the hit that triggered it.

Either weapon or skill damage by proxy.

the internal combustion timer is per enemy right? so that means painkiller on crown prince with smoke grenades is taking procs away from your weapon?

It's per enemy, so yes Smoke Grenades will take procs away from your weapon, whether you have Painkiller or not.

No idea about if it's shared or local, because I don't play multiplayer, and no one who does has done enough research.

fallen escarp
#

It's always worth choosing spiritual link. There are literally no downsides to having it.

unreal horizon
#

no I meant, I would have considered sacrificing scrolls in scroll selection to chase after it because the combustion damage

fallen escarp
#

You're only sacrificing 2 scrolls that may or may not be better than the fire-based scrolls.

unreal horizon
#

but blazing hoop takes a proc, flame shard isn't particularly strong, and fire enthusiast is nice with deadly counter, and I'm too lazy to use elemental weave most of the time

#

also I thought the idea of Sanguine Relic and Fire Enthusiast was that lifesteal was made into a cooldown but could also regen shields? Isn't Fire Enthusiast super bad without Flesh and Bones?

#

or sacrificing the Deadly Counter synergy by using Flame Shard or other immunity

#

do we have numbers on the typical amount of shield/armor/raw health you typically see in the game to determine which elemental type is the best overall now?

#

or is it conditional like having penetration bullet or something

fallen escarp
#

Fire best for damage, corrosion best for elemental effect variety. Lightning best for disappointing you.

unreal horizon
#

so the answer sounds like it's not as obvious of a pick as it used to be

#

but it's still a global multiplier so it's worth something

covert perch
#

Me no smart brain man can someone explain the gemini inscription of the AoE thing to me

unreal horizon
#

if I wanted to main a wild hunt, would I be better off going wild hunt + argus spore gemini and replace the secondary with whatever weapon level I find natively / from shops, or is there a better option?

#

like focus the wild hunt upgrades and then swap out the secondary with whatever raises the spore damage? or use a different gemini?

#

assuming I can get spiritual link fire element and deft hands / enhanced skateboarder or something

fallen escarp
#

Never use spores when using a shotgun as your main weapon. It shreds the spore's damage and you rely on being accurate with the shotgun to get any real benefit to spore procs.

unreal horizon
#

so elemental I guess then?

#

just for coverage?

fallen escarp
#

Element share or mag share.

I've only managed to get a trillion on dog once

#

took forever though because it took 300 stages

#

boundless/endless still has the 150k dmg cap?

glad iris
#

150k?

fallen escarp
#

I doubt many people know the true cap, due to how often it gets bypassed by modifiers.

cobalt dock
#

this was mine prior to Season 1

valid zephyr
#

I got to stage 69 and was well over a trillion damage on endless mode season 1

split plinth
#

gonna try endless dog next time then

#

is there any major difference between boundless and endless?

#

like scroll limitations or is it just faster dr scaling

fallen escarp
dire monolith
unreal horizon
#

does deadly counter work on wolf gaze's voracity or howl stacks

fallen escarp
#

Theoretically yes.

#

Unless they did what they did to spores and just prevent crits with them.

unreal horizon
fallen escarp
#

Doubt it, but no one knows for sure.

unreal horizon
#

Is my math right? Without talents or crits, Wild Hunt with infinite mag is 8640 DPS, Rainbow Arch with exclusive + TAS execution of charged shots is 7040 DPS, Wolf Gaze with no inscrip is about 3296 DPS? and aura of venom is 2530

#

obviously with crits those numbers change

#

and rainbow arch and aura of venom don't scale with rate of fire so they're limited in scaling methods

#

man that rainbow arch number looks good though

Would anyone mind explaining the difference between reincarnations? In the middle of my first r1 run, ways into the endless stuff farming them blue boogers. Wondering if there is any reason to end my endless run before I have enough to max talents

After season 2 update, me and my friend experiencing extreme lag when server host is switching world like get in and out from vaults.
It happens no matter who is hosting the server, joined player will have those lags.
I think it is game problem and I can not fix but is there any workaround?

does anyone have an idea when the update for quarter 3 is said to drop?

Season 2 dropped on 4/26 as the quarter 2 update. I would assume the quarter 3 update would be at least 3 months from that point.

hey all, i've seen some posts in the issues area but no responses. i have over 100 hours in the game, but recently lost almost all progress with the update. I say almost cause when i logged in it gave me the rewards for killing certain bosses for the first time. Is there any solution to fix this?

# errant condor steam cloud

The cloud data is overwritten when the game is closed, so my steam cloud save is the same as my local one, which is the same problem the others have mentioned. I wish it was as simple as just loading the cloud data

guys

#

which character good to build weaver cloud?

mellow cosmos
#

foxxy

fallen escarp
#

Fox or Turtle, because you can use their skills while still using the weapon. Though it's technically a skill build with a bit of extra damage.

Red Panda, because she gets bonuses to pistols.

Is there some sorta movement speed bug? I just got done with a run where I was slow asf, even with 2 of us having core member (and I had a melee weapon, but even with a pistol I was abysmally slow). I didn't have any cursed scrolls either

mellow cosmos
#

It happened to me, too.

strange mountain
#

i still don't know how to do mechanisms good...

mellow cosmos
#

It isn't good. It's not your problem.

fallen escarp
#

You're talking about the things that allow you to win by using nothing but those, on the hardest difficulty.

mellow cosmos
#

Ok, it's my problem.shrug

fallen escarp
#

Very similar to last season's stuff. You can win the entire game with them alone.

strange mountain
#

well which mech is good for that?

#

using pollen atm and dunno how to set it up

fallen escarp
#

I've heard Datura is the best if you want to exclusively use it and nothing else.

But Hound is probably better if you have no idea what you're doing, because it's the only one that partially works passively.

strange mountain
#

hmm

#

so is there a character datura is best on?

mellow cosmos
#

I will say lei luo. He has high movement speed, to run 🤨

#

If you only do datura, ofc

fallen escarp
#

If I had to guess, Dog, because he can repeatedly stack pollen just by exploding everything and it doesn't cost him anything.

how does anyone even do solo R9 without painkiller, if the enemies have Second Wind, it just feels like a death sentence

#

Nona notwithstanding because Iron Wing just draws all the aggro

fallen escarp
#

Step 1: Git gud at beating act 1, the only hard part.
Step 2: Business as usual.

#

All those things you learned about surviving on Normal, Elite and Nightmare difficulty? Yeah, you need those once more.

#

Unless of course you Nona'd it, in which case you probably didn't learn much.

pine ibex
#

A lot of time passed since i played at this game x)

#

New mechanisms, something new finally

#

Funny to see another game with battlepass, meh

fallen escarp
#

The battlepass is barely a battlepass. Pretty much just a regular big update with a fancy name attached to it.

pine ibex
#

Anyways

fallen escarp
#

There's no cost to play with it, the tasks are often short or easy, you don't have to do every task for all rewards, previous season rewards can be bought with soul essence, and previous game mechanics can be switched to whenever.

pine ibex
#

Reincarnation 9 run time. And spending 11k souls for rerols

fallen escarp
#

The only thing it doesn't have is the ability to turn it off.

mellow cosmos
#

You can just skip choosing mechanical

fallen escarp
#

It forcefully gives you a random one.

#

There is no skipping the choice.

mellow cosmos
#

What 🥺

fallen escarp
#

The closest you can get to turning it off is by picking a completely manual mechanism, and just never using it.

#

But even with that you're still interrupted by dimension portals appearing.

#

Which are designed to be painful to destroy if you're not using mechanisms.

coarse sundial
#

and the fact the modules and such auto recycle adding to your power and cooldown reduction iirc

fallen escarp
#

Yeah that too.

coarse sundial
#

I guess they didnt consider disabling them entirely lol

fallen escarp
#

Definitely didn't, and I'm sure they know about people wanting it.

#

They could've added the ability to disable seasons when it was halfway into Season 1.

#

And given they now have a season selector and pre-season gameplay hasn't changed, they have literally nothing difficult that is stopping them from adding a "none" option.

pine ibex
#

Endless huh

feral fable
#

"everything you learned about surviving on Normal, Elite and Nightmare" sounds a bit disingeneious when there's definitely more of everything going on at R9, particularly when elemental grenadiers are throwing splitting, persistent aoe bombs over cover, melee enemies run at you faster, and the suicide bombers are so numerous and come staggered instead of all at once, all at the same time

#

there's knowing how to bait the suicide bombers and melee rushers into doing their thing and hiding behind cover, and then there's "the spear and swordsmen are out running the conga line of suicide bombers that drop persisting elemental AOE cutting off the amount of space you have to work with in an already cramped space, and two crossbowmen just flanked around your cover to shoot at you"

fallen escarp
# pine ibex Endless huh

If you want true endless, do Boundless Dream instead.

Endless Journey has a timer you must constantly add time to, or you can't continue.

feral fable
#

"and the grenadiers threw splitting elemental grenades behind you that also leave persisting aoe fields"

fallen escarp
#

Reason why you have to remember them is because of the sudden surge of splitting grenades and bombers, while you don't have a "stop now" button.

feral fable
# fallen escarp Well the alternative to not remembering what you learned from those difficulties...

I disagree with the notion that it's a binary case of "standing there like an idiot and not refining your playstule based on what you find" and "being able to reasonably fight around all the enemy attack patterns" between pre reincarnation difficulties and high reincarnation difficulties.

Played a few reps of Nightmare and pure reincarnation without any of the modifiers, and without any of the broken setups I'm used to, and the difference in both the relentlessness and speed of attacks coming out between them is sufficient enough that it'll take more than just "everything you learned about surviving on Normal, Elite, and Nightmare", especially with how enemies start to have more serendipitous instances of making you pick between different types of shit situations as their rate of attacks coming out overlap with other enemies downtimes

#

now granted, I accept that learning how to force some particular attacks to happen in your favour alongside others, is a skill in and of itself to learn

fallen escarp
#

Remember, the moment you step into Reincarnation, you can throw a lot of the skills you learned out the window because you just become too powerful.

#

Reincarnation 9 act 1 is just so difficult you need to remember them again.

feral fable
#

I'd argue it's not so much a case of relearning as it is needing to learn to adapt the basics into the sheer wildfire chaos of R9

fallen escarp
#

Don't need to dodge if enemies die instantly from offscreen because you sneezed in a direction.

Don't need to aim for the above reason.

Don't need to find good weapons because your damage bonuses take care of that, or you just don't use weapons at all.

#

But if suddenly enemies don't become useless or die instantly from your flailing about, you have to remember those things that happen when you get shot at or can't effortlessly annihilate everything.

#

Heck, even multiplayer is a good showcase of this effect.

feral fable
#

and my point is that "remembering" those basics don't help you much in the context of R9, because the gulf in intensity and attack intervals is so vast that you need to adapt specifically to what its throwing at you

fallen escarp
#

Why bother remembering how to dodge if you can catch several bullets and then get revived by your friend?

feral fable
#

and sometimes even thats not enough because you're just not fast enough to get to the safe spots in time

#

I have a rough sense of when the DOT AOEs from suicide bombers dissapear now, but the fact of the matter is that there are times in solo when I've been backed into a corner from trying to work with the enemy attack patterns just spiral into getting metaphorically put into check over and over again

fallen escarp
#

because the gulf in intensity and attack intervals is so vast
If you're using Painkiller, what attacks?

feral fable
#

when in hindsight, there were times that I should have been identifying the routes that lead to me taking the least damage into a position where I can avoid certain death

feral fable
fallen escarp
#

Sure.

#

Regardless, my point no matter what extra stuff R9 throws at you, is if you're using those stuff, you don't need to remember anything.

If you aren't, you suddenly do.

#

Doesn't matter if grenades split into 3 more grenades, you still gotta remember that the enemy throws grenades.

#

Doesn't matter if the melee enemy moves faster, still gotta remember that they will melee you.

#

Doesn't matter if bomber heads more often reach you, still gotta remember that those heads explode.

#

So regardless of R9 or not, you still gotta do more than if you used Painkiller.

#

So you still gotta remember what you learned in Normal, Elite and Nightmare difficulty.

#

End of.

feral fable
#

not it isn't. all those things don't happen in a vacuum, it takes more than remembering all those things to deal with R9 act 1

fallen escarp
#

Missed the point, again.

#

R9 adds onto what Normal/Elite/Nightmare did.

#

Still gotta know what to do on Normal/Elite/Nightmare before you can add extra from R9.

feral fable
#

add extra as in the innate increased damage, spawns, and decreased attack intervals, or as in the extra optinoal modifiers?

It's like building a house.

You can't set up the attic without first laying down the foundation, the first floor and the second floor.
