yeah I'm sure I could if I play more, but that goes with everything else

#

and not everyone can do that

#

see heres an example, you can have faker on worlds and kill 2 of his teammates with a sniper rifle, and faker may still be able to win

twin sierra
#

What?

random magnet
#

you put 5 regular players against each other, and you kill 2 of their teammates

#

and now they are not playing on hardest diffculty, they are playing on hardestest diffculty

#

yeah faker can probably pull it off, but regular players not really

#

its not like they are bad, its just that 2 teammates got killed

#

its not like they got in the game with the expectation that 2 of the teammates are gonna die

#

if they play the game regularly they can win, with 2 less not a chance

#

How is that hard to grasp?

thin epoch
#

We counting painkiller cat now?

#

Not discussing the point tho, it's fair and stands lmao

trim swan
#

I'm confused

#

I'm trying to pay attention to this but confusing

random magnet
#

mod is saying I shouldnt play on hardest diffculty if I can't beat it

thin epoch
#

All I mean is you can carry every scenario with painkiller cat

random magnet
#

But I signed up for 4 players coop, I didnt sign up for 2 afk coop

carmine ermine
#

You signed up for multiplayer, where any player can be your teammates, including bad players.

random magnet
#

its fine if they are bad, but they straight up disconnected

carmine ermine
#

The game has no reason to compensate you for the folly of other people.

#

Oh, they disconnected did you say?

random magnet
#

afk=disconnect

carmine ermine
#

The difficulty automatically lowers with less players.

trim swan
#

Afk is not a disconnect

random magnet
#

im wrong for 6 years then

#

I transfered concept from league

#

where if player afk a bot takes over

thin epoch
#

Afk is better than bad players tho because you might try to revive bad players and put yourself in danger

carmine ermine
#

Better word to use would be lazy players, then.

#

But that's still not the game's fault.

random magnet
#

so if a bot exists diffculty still on 4 players?

carmine ermine
#

Especially since the reason for AFKing could be anything.

#

Even something as simple as they were checking a shop while you decide to rush ahead, and they didn't have the movement speed to catch up to your rushing.

#

To some people, I'd imagine that would be considered as AFKing.

trim swan
#

I almost passed out on an endless run with my friend last night, does that count as afking

random magnet
random magnet
#

Woah I just found out the game does tone diffculty down if you don't have bot teammates

#

So I fucked myself by turning it on

#

I'm a dumbassdisapproveChamp

#

What happens when you don't read

random magnet
#

Not even atomic dog can handle endless

#

I wonder if I can somehow increase the damage furthur or skill builds just sucks ass in endless

#

They have to add like a skill blacksmith or something

#

time to play shotgun dog before they buff skill builds

#

How do you even compete with weapons when they get blacksmith, potentially perfect respec on top of what skill builds have

#

after a certain point theres no way to increase damage

carmine ermine
#

Don't say that Atomic Dog can't handle something.

The devs might hear you...

random magnet
#

yeah let them hear me

sacred hedge
#

Is the dragon breath able to roll crit gemini?

random magnet
#

i love atomic dog you kidding me

versed fox
#

Only spores and element share

random magnet
#

dev plz buffdisapproveChamp

sacred hedge
#

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but dragon breath just feels underwhelming to me

random magnet
#

I feel that way about every explosion weapon

#

I litearlly only use them for supplement for skill builds

#

out of cards? shoot the box with the canon

carmine ermine
#

sits down at a campfire in a creepy forest in the middle of the night

"2 years had passed since the start of the whole sinister deed, set to slowly corrupt the whole world one piece at a time. However, legends say that they cannot be stopped, merely sleeping until someone chants the mantra of insanity over and over again once more. 'Atomic Bomb sucks! Atomic Bomb sucks!'"

random magnet
#

it kicks ass at the start, once we get half way through the first endless cycle it start to suck

#

You know I cried about the scaling, maybe its not the scaling its the build

versed fox
#

Its the game not being designed for endless

random magnet
#

yeah but did they ever think about skill builds for endless?

#

blacksmith is there for weapons

#

what about skills

#

plz buff

carmine ermine
random magnet
#

skill builds are like 90% of my existence

#

bad day for believers

#

lets see if we get a hot fix tomorrow

versed fox
#

Hot fix to remove endless? I’m in

carmine ermine
#

Agreed.

random magnet
#

its like risk of rain 2 but less fun and half of stuff are not viable

versed fox
#

Its not like ror2 at all

carmine ermine
#

It's almost as if this game isn't RoR2.

random magnet
#

yeah its the only other 3d rougelite i play

#

let me make the reference

versed fox
#

That means nothing

random magnet
#

cry and moan, thats all we can do

versed fox
#

Ror2 loops work because items infinitely stack
Ascensions and scrolls are finite, on top of all of the other issues plaguing the game

carmine ermine
versed fox
#

Seethe

random magnet
#

I just like to say dumb shit thats all

#

I enjoy the act of saying words

versed fox
#

Endless shows the bandaid approach of the devs

random magnet
#

without them going through my brain

#

I can see why they do it, since the part where you start to oneshot everything is the most satisfying

#

but endless overstay its welcome quickly

#

with the time limit you are kind of just urnning through things then backtrack

versed fox
#

Poorly designed character? Give it a bunch of blessings. People too op? Bandaid limits because they haven’t addressed the 2-year problem of needless buffs, and won’t

random magnet
#

yeah id rather have a few very rare multitive buffs then like 90 additive ones

#

the only multi one i think its lei luo?

versed fox
random magnet
#

i agree on the numbers part

#

I only like this game for its diverse builds and skill trees

#

if they are just cranking numbers up I don't feel the fun anymore

#

3 endless games sucked the soul out of me

#

time to play robo quest

sacred hedge
#

I think my biggest problem with the game is the lack of different maps

random magnet
#

yeah if you play 200 games nothing is gonna be fresh anymore

sacred hedge
#

Like you mentioned ror and roboquest

random magnet
#

its nature of rougelikes

#

Binding of isaac does a really good job on that

#

simplistic as it is

sacred hedge
#

If those games only had 1 route of maps you could take I would have dropped them on the spot

random magnet
#

I love rougelike genre so I don't feel as much burnout

#

variety for me its all about what I can do

#

not much about what im going up against

sacred hedge
#

That’s also a big appeal of rogue likes for me

random magnet
#

wizard of legend, rift wizard, etc

#

yeah thats fair

#

everyone has their likings

#

enemy and map variety has always been a thing of judge in gaming

#

mmo, souls like and whatnot

#

I remember playing nioh 1 and got so burnout by the 200 side quests with the same enemies in the same map over andd over

#

but nioh has great combat so I kept playing

#

same with rougelikes, if theres one highlight its usually able to cover the flaws for me

#

at the end of the day perfect game doesnt exist

#

even elden ring has reskinned stuff over and over

#

on my way to fight the 4th reskinned tree guardian

#

if they spend more time on maps maybe we are only gonna get 2 skill trees

#

only so much resources and manpower

sacred hedge
#

The thing about gunfire compared to me is that the game just doesn’t really do much to diversify the game for since the game just becomes a dopamine simulator and is all about big numbers while forcing a braindead build

random magnet
#

oh yeah, i get that

#

at the end of the day if you build doesnt do enough damage its not gonna be fun

sacred hedge
#

Like with elden ring and blood borne, I always enjoys trying out a new weapon and creating a route to get it as efficiently as possible without cheating and learning how to properly distribute stats and how to use the weapon to its max potential

#

Most of the weapons I try do good enough damage to the point that I don’t one shot the bosses but I’m not beating them with a wet noodle

random magnet
#

I just enjoy the cosplaying aspect rather than beating the game as effiencient as possible

sacred hedge
#

Oh I’m all for fashion souls as well

random magnet
#

boy i remember trying to beat manus with teh castetus

#

what a fucking nightmare

sacred hedge
#

Honestly I go for both during my playthroughs

random magnet
#

Holy shit once i start to ramble I can't stop, its like 12 already

#

igottago

sacred hedge
#

I feel ya man

random magnet
#

damn the gif did not go through

#

Alright goodnight

#

or good morning

#

whatever

sacred hedge
#

Anyways tl;dr I beat gluttony for the first time today and I don’t know what he does

random magnet
#

grads

carmine ermine
#

Yep. That's the state of the game.
"Oh look, a new enemy! I bet they've got some cool gimmick-"
kills it in 1 shot
"Nevermind."

random magnet
#

That’s most roguelike/lite endgame though

#

That’s also where you get extremely bored, so understandable

#

I enjoy the way to becoming a god more

silver drift
#

he dies

carmine ermine
#

You one-shot them anyway, wasting the efforts of who gave it to them.

sacred hedge
random magnet
#

I mean I still don’t know what the tentacles do in tboi

#

And I have 3000 hours in that game

silver drift
#

tboi?

random magnet
#

Isaac

silver drift
#

oh isaac

#

yeah

sacred hedge
#

Like in dead cells for example, for most runs you pretty much need to learn what the final boss of 5BC does

random magnet
#

Enter the gungeon is another great one

#

God I love that game to death

#

I would kill someone for an expansion

#

I’m serious

#

Throw exit the gungeon in the trash

#

Make me an expansion

#

Whatever

#

How do you guys think the game should be balanced then

#

If you are the dev

silver drift
#

i got just the guy for the job

#

@carmine ermine get in here

random magnet
#

Your advices are mostly about longevity

#

But in a marketing perspective, a rush in dopamine that lasts for about 100 hours is a pretty good deal to draw people in

#

I know I’m satisfied with my purchase

silver drift
#

I'm just here for the ride man

#

sure I'll complain about balance changes

#

but I'm a league player, it's what we do

random magnet
#

Hey, there you go

#

Brother in arms

silver drift
#

😭

random magnet
#

Cry and moan that’s all we can do

#

-trick2g

silver drift
random magnet
#

Honestly after 200 games people are gonna move on, I suspect a small percentage actually stays

carmine ermine
# random magnet How do you guys think the game should be balanced then

Significantly reduce the power of many blessings, reduce the power of most DLC heroes so they're only slightly better and not in a league of their own, change how most bizarre dream modifiers work so they're either mostly buff or mostly nerf, and then reduce the effectiveness of some things on enemies, such as enhancements on elites.

That's just a generalized start.

#

There are a bazillion smaller little nerfs and buffs to weak and strong things besides that.

random magnet
#

I suspect it’s the Chinese pay to win culture ever so slightly

#

If the dlc hero are not stronger no one buys them

#

It’s all about money jermaGrin

carmine ermine
#

Oh and I'd also mark the higher Reincarnation levels as "Danger, experienced players only unless you want to cry. No, we will not listen to complaints about difficulty."

random magnet
#

I don’t even know what I’m taking about, I’m so sleepy I’m basically on cbd

#

Gotta sleep

sacred hedge
#

I genuinely think that reincarnation 1 is the easiest difficulty in the game due to how strong blessings are

silver drift
#

yeah that is true

#

most people think that

somber summit
#

Seems like everyone is crying that endless is too hard, try piercing flame monkey. Trust me, i hit stage 100+ with it

trim swan
#

not really, on the endless is too hard part

#

it honestly breaks the game even more because of the recycle bonus

#

I just recently got over 2.1 billion as my highest damage because of endless so yeah, pretty easy tbh

somber summit
#

It doesnt, dmg is capped at 10/15mil anyways

trim swan
#

it's capped but you can bypass it pretty easily

tidal kernel
#

endless goes crazy

trim swan
tidal kernel
#

man i can't imagine getting past 50 even with a full party

trim swan
#

we were actually on out way to get 70+

#

and I had them hold on brb in the rest area before we entered so we can keep the timer on hold

#

but the timer bugged out and went to 0 minutes when we had like 2 mins and 15 seconds left, it wasn't going off or anything

tidal kernel
#

Yeah enemy spawn times screwed our run as we lost a bunch of time waiting for them to drop in

trim swan
#

oof

tidal kernel
#

Could've had a whole minute of extra time for us to beat this act

trim swan
#

act 4 is stupid if tou don't have a lot of aoe damage

#

thunder stalkers just keep teleporting

tidal kernel
#

Yeah that ended my first endless run, we just kept bursting the clones unintentionally

#

We got really split around the end as half of us were lagging behind trying our best to kill the stragglers our burst carries didn't see

trim swan
#

oof

sudden crown
#

@tulip steppe people want 'actual' endless, because of stupid 'rogulikes must have endless/looping mode' trope

random magnet
#

How come no one wants to play spiritual assault

#

I love that mode

#

in queue for 20 minutes

sudden crown
#

how does one dodge gluttonys sucky attack explosion?

twin sierra
#

@sudden crown well the promt says to hide and he drops rocks so i assume i hide behind them

sudden crown
#

i was behind a rock, but ig Lei is too fat

twin sierra
#

U cant be tok far back

sudden crown
#

tok?

glad solar
#

anyone else having an issue where the enemies on multiplayer feel so much tankier?

#

ik they have hp scaling but yesterday when me and my bud did r9 we had little to no issue

#

but now everythying feels so fucking tanky

glad solar
#

me and my bud just tried to remove endless and things seem to be dying faster, i wonder if the endless difficulty shit is leaking in when it's not active yet?

tulip steppe
#

huh, easiest check is miasma against same enemy with/without endless

glad solar
#

can try with crown prince after this run

trim swan
#

Crown Prince with Painkiller

random magnet
#

Actually the dragonbreath is pretty good

#

remind me of sniper in ror2

#

Gonna try it out in this playthrough

#

Wait how does it work with dualwield?

#

Do I still need to charge it manually?

#

the bar isn't even there

#

Nothing on the wiki

sudden crown
#

altanna didnt get to testing it yet

random magnet
#

ok nvm

#

it act as if you fail the charge

#

so therefore I don't think you get the penetration

spice forum
random magnet
#

does the penetration do anything in terms of single target though?

#

if not I don't think it would be that big of a deal

spice forum
#

It doesnt penetrate it hits the first target
Then does a massive aoe

random magnet
#

yeah I'm talking about the penetration after you charge the bar

#

Shit I didn't read the exclusive inscriptions

#

I don't know if it will be better than tiger canon

spice forum
#

Yes

#

And the Penetrate doesnt cause any other Aoe

#

its just that it goes through the first target

#

Nothing more

random magnet
#

hmmm

#

Yeah I will use it, see what happens

spice forum
#

I mean

random magnet
#

Its a railgun I love it

#

back to gaming

#

bruh I ran out of ammo

#

I shouldn't have use 2 launchers

silver drift
sudden crown
#

ahh

random magnet
#

I’m really surprised by how good this game handles performance, it ran in the background paused for about 30 minutes now on max settings but the fans and the heat seem completely normal

#

Maybe it’s because of the small level rendering

twin sierra
#

Thats bc the game can be ran on a potato probably

tulip steppe
#

hell yeah endless was worth it

sudden crown
#

took ya long enough

random magnet
#

holy shit

#

If you dual wield 2 dragon breaths they have the same recharge bar

#

Time to make something happen

#

Hope I get good rolls in 3

#

Holy fuck the 4 elite flame throwers almost ended the run

#

the dash to heal 50% damage scroll saved my ass like 8 times

trail trout
#

bro

#

why the new rocket launcher literally ROR2 Railgunner Reload?

random magnet
#

holy shit

trail trout
#

Literally if timed perfectly, u get penetration bullet or smth

random magnet
#

I spent like 5 minutes in the vault hitting the boss

#

and doing 1 damage

#

I thought the game was bugged

#

then I read the challenge and it says I have to get in the 12 meters radius to do damage

twin sierra
#

U seem to have a lot of problems reading

random magnet
#

I turn my brain off when I play games most of the time

#

It’s pretty much just “me see enemy me shoot and do big damage”

#

I bought rimworld and all the expansions and I didn’t even touch it since because there were too many stuff on UI in the tutorial

#

Same with project zomboid, civilization, stellaris, these games are probably so fun if you play them sober

#

But I can’t do i

random magnet
#

uh I have a question, can you get the mag fixed to 1 gemini on launchers?

#

I tried to pick up different weapons but none of them seem to allow me to reroll 1 mag on a launcher

#

if that doesnt work I will have to go shared mag

pastel peak
#

I'm pretty sure weapons that already have a mag size of 1 can't get that gemini

random magnet
#

shit

pastel peak
#

don't quote me on that tho

random magnet
#

Man i want to dual wield dragon breath so bad

#

Can we have experts confirm this

#

wait I can't even go shared mag if im doing double launcher

#

thats gonna be 2 stacks max

pastel peak
#

what build are you trying?

random magnet
#

I was gonna dual wield dragon breath with dog

#

and get fixed to 1 mag on both dragon breaths

pastel peak
#

for the lucky shot chance?

random magnet
#

yeah, and the reload damage

#

I don't think any other gemini is useful if im playing this build

#

well I'm gonna keep trying

pastel peak
#

depending on your rof maybe spores?

random magnet
#

spores required 30 bullets hit

#

launchers have like 1

spice forum
#

launchers can

random magnet
#

with what weapon type

spice forum
#

But some inscriptions block certain geminis

pastel peak
#

oh really

spice forum
#

If you have a gemini on the weapon and go to the craftsman

#

there is a ?

random magnet
#

yeah thats what im saying

spice forum
#

shows all the geminis that are currently not available for the weapon

random magnet
#

yep

#

and 1 mag is not avaible

spice forum
#

can you post a pic of the weapon ?

random magnet
#

barely getting through at act 3

#

or the ocean level

round thunder
#

dragon breath can only have element share and spore for some reason

random magnet
#

Killed windgod in 6 seconds with it tho, I think elites are just tankier

#

No

spice forum
#

Dragons breath cant get it

random magnet
#

It could have any other

#

except 1 mag

spice forum
#

Because it can only have 1

#

It doesnt get any mag inscriptions

#

its only 1

random magnet
#

shit

#

so what do I do

round thunder
#

I rolled it 6 times and it only cycled between element and spore catshrug

spice forum
#

Element share

random magnet
#

I got the laser glove

#

and I could do any other gemini

#

except 1 mag

spice forum
#

If this is your main weapon then grab a corrosive weapon

random magnet
#

does element share even do anything

spice forum
#

The laser glove aint doing enething

random magnet
#

if im doing dualwield

spice forum
#

With this nothing really

random magnet
spice forum
#

Elemental Share does share the advantage with the other weapon and the element effect

random magnet
#

It's over

spice forum
#

..

#

You just need to grab another weapon

#

You are simply element sharing the worst weapon to it

#

Element share gives the other weapon the % chance to trigger the other weapons elemental effect and the bonus ( corrosive again armor , lightning against shield and fire against health)

#

So the laser glove ( IIRC ) has only 5% element effect

random magnet
#

I knew I should've gone shotgun dog

#

I was offered merciless combo right off the bat

#

I had the element share gemini on another dragonbreath but I sold it

spice forum
#

Right now your DB has per hit a 25% roll to cause burn and a second 5% roll to cause burn

random magnet
#

because I thought I could get 1 mag gemini by having different weapons

spice forum
#

No

#

You simply took the one launcher it cant get rolled on

#

Which doesnt work because of its unique fire mechanism

#

ROF doesnt affect it

random magnet
#

Yeah I imagine so, I don't think my reload ascension work on it

spice forum
#

and Reload only makes the reload zone lager towards the back or the bar

#

Reload does something

#

but it doesnt make it faster

#

Just less room for error

#

But if you always get the reload bar on the beginning then it does truly nothing

random magnet
#

well can't do the oneshot tiger canon strat on dragon breath

#

guess i will take the useless element share

spice forum
#

Bro

#

Thats the opposite of useless

#

Just get a different weapon for it

#

That thing has TONS of base dmg

random magnet
#

So I can't do double launcher?

spice forum
#

you can

#

and should

random magnet
#

so double launcher and element share

spice forum
#

You threw away one of the most fun ways to play this weapon

random magnet
#

I mean I had it but It didn't do very much

#

So I sold the other one

#

oh well im playing endless so theres always another chance

#

If I live to tell the tale that is

#

already revived once

#

Alright let me try it out

ivory parrot
#

He'll just look at what we say and take our word for it Justice

round thunder
#

This is pure mockery and just another argument as to why the timer is utter bullshit

carmine ermine
#

I guess that's what happens when every update doubles down on the problems you keep pointing out.

#

Even ignoring the endless mode this update, they, for absolutely 0 reason, absolutely none at all, buffed the elemental pulse scrolls.

somber summit
#

They should atleast remove the dmg cap so we can see funny numbers again

random magnet
#

The damage is pretty good

#

But I can't tell if it is elemental share or scrolls doing work

#

gonna continue tomorrow

#

still don't have dual blade though

somber summit
#

15mil as dmg cap is way to low (yes with combustion shit you can get a bit higher but still way to low)

carmine ermine
#

The powercreep flows...

#

Give it a year, people will probably say a 300 mil cap is too low.

random magnet
#

Just make everything broken so nothing is broken

somber summit
somber summit
random magnet
#

put shaped glass in the game, add a bunch of void enemies

carmine ermine
somber summit
#

Just like bl3

carmine ermine
#

Would barely be a game at that point.

random magnet
#

yeah put mithrix in the game

#

steal your items and scrolls

carmine ermine
#

Next update he'd get removed.

#

Can't have something that remotely challenges players.

somber summit
#

Wont do shit tbh, shoot him twice and all ur stuff is back

#

And i can just skip his phase like im doing with the current bosses

random magnet
#

with broken runs yeah

carmine ermine
#

All runs devolve into broken runs.

somber summit
#

Every run is broken

carmine ermine
#

Unless you deliberately pick the stupid choices.

random magnet
#

if you go into lunar portal every level you can get there every run

somber summit
#

Doesnt change a thing.

random magnet
#

talking about just regular eclipse 8 runs no lunar

carmine ermine
#

Once you bend this far backward for casual players, nothing you do will please them and add challenge to the game at the same time.

random magnet
#

I think one limiting factor is the map

carmine ermine
#

Anything they try to add will immediately get reacted by backlash if it becomes even slightly difficult.

random magnet
#

its too small you can't dodge around too much

somber summit
#

Just to prove how broken the game is: when enemies have 102% dr i still onehit them

random magnet
#

when you have half of the map filled with enemies how are you gonna keep buffing them without the player being straight up annailated

somber summit
#

Nuking them in one hit solves everything

carmine ermine
#

Devs can only buff enemies in ways that would piss people off, by now.

random magnet
#

yeah thats mid to late game though

carmine ermine
#

Anything else, players will annihilate the enemies.

somber summit
random magnet
#

its all about surival not damage

somber summit
#

Before that you only need 2 braincells to win, after that you can have -2 and still win

carmine ermine
#

Damage is survival.

somber summit
random magnet
#

damage should be reduced for players

carmine ermine
#

Enemies can't kill you if they're dead.

carmine ermine
random magnet
#

its pretty much I oneshot them or they oneshot me

#

yeah reduce them furthur

somber summit
carmine ermine
#

As I said, the only thing that can stop players at this point are things that would piss them off.

Like those invincibility shields.

random magnet
#

well you can't kill the entire screen with one shot

violet oxide
somber summit
carmine ermine
somber summit
random magnet
#

not starting off

somber summit
#

Pick overconsumption and for example thundernemesis on lei luo and ur done

#

Little bit of t&g and magical supply and its a wrap

#

Spores is another great example

#

You can get spores in 1-2

#

My bad, forgot to mention nona with shoulder turrets

random magnet
#

I only struggle with tanky enemies or undying elites early, I aggre mid to late game is a wrap

carmine ermine
#

Nona exists.

random magnet
#

I die so many times to the undying explosions dudes

#

and the flame thrower guy

somber summit
somber summit
random magnet
#

in small rooms theres litearlly no room to dodge

somber summit
#

How does one die to immortal explosions princecri

carmine ermine
#

Act 1 is probably the only place where there can even be an attempt at the game being difficult.

But like the rest of the run, that's only if you pick the stupid choices.

random magnet
#

when theres like 2 or 3 of these summoners and you don't one hit them in time and have no speed

somber summit
#

All the small rooms only have like 3 enemies

ivory parrot
#

Yesterday I was act 1-2

#

and there was the demonic aura last stand

#

and an immortal spearman (R9)

#

bro kamikazed

#

I couldn't outrun him and I was low hp cuz my playstyle is pretty reckless

random magnet
#

I think I picked the thing that gives them a 40% speed boost

#

they just run at me full speed and I couldn't run

#

its like a straight line at act 3

#

Don't know how the hell you get out of that one

somber summit
#

Skill issue that you cant dodge frame perfect

#

Not even frame perfect btw, you can break their ankles pretty easily

carmine ermine
#

Don't even need frame perfect dodging.

#

Just let them walk up to you.

#

Then when they start self-destructing, dash backwards.

random magnet
#

It's that straight line room

somber summit
random magnet
#

well thats good to know

#

what about the flame thrower dudes?

somber summit
#

Touch their face real quick and dodge back and they wont hit you

carmine ermine
#

Hug them in a circle to the right.

random magnet
#

when they have the challenge that slows you when they break your armor

somber summit
#

Dont break ur shield?

#

Sounds stupid but thats all really

random magnet
#

i mean its hard to do when they spawn in 4 in the center of the room

#

and im not fast enough to get far

carmine ermine
#

Then run away from them without cornering yourself.

somber summit
#

At this point i know 99% of the spawn locations in rooms for every enemy so you can start at a distance

random magnet
#

I only die to things with very specific combination now, but I haven't gotton that good yet

carmine ermine
#

And you play on R9, right?

random magnet
#

yeah all modifiers

#

and lone wolf 4 man

carmine ermine
#

So you're not that good at the game, and yet you only die to specific things on the hardest difficulty.

#

Mmm... smells like powercreep.

random magnet
#

I mean its all about damage

carmine ermine
#

When people can mostly tear apart the biggest challenge in the game without even being very skilled.

random magnet
#

its only the challenges where people get in your face thats hard

somber summit
#

The only challenge thats actually annoying is a room where every enemy becomes a horsehead after dying

#

Especially annoying in vaults

random magnet
#

igottago

somber summit
#

K cya

#

Average powercreep convo

random magnet
#

what does that mean

carmine ermine
#

Powercreep is when newer stuff is stronger than the older stuff, resulting in the average levels of power in a game getting higher over time.

random magnet
#

and what does that mean in this context

carmine ermine
#

It means players keep getting buffed.

#

Enemies do not.

#

This makes the game easier and easier over time.

random magnet
#

I'm fucked up most of the time when I engage in online convos, either drunk or high, so could you explain it in idiot language

carmine ermine
#

Devs make game easy with updates.

#

There, idiot explanation.

random magnet
#

powercreep convo?

carmine ermine
#

A conversation about powercreep.

random magnet
#

oh

#

bye

somber summit
#

We have these semi frequently

#

Sometimes stuff gets extra saucy and we make our own patchnotes wich are very balanced

random magnet
#

heres my patchnotes

#

make rooms 2000% bigger

#

add in void enemies

#

reduce player damage

#

give enemies hyper armor

somber summit
#

Lemme find some stuff @carmine ermine and i cooked up

random magnet

lets see if shadow of erdtree is gonna be faster

#

oh shit

#

#

oh shit

#

yeah fuck this im playing the remastered

random magnet
#

Holy shit they fixed the 2 worst part of the game

#

now its perfect

#

I have to finish the dragon breath run now

molten agate
#

What are people doing for corrupted saves? My save is absolute 0, in terms of size (0 kb). Not sure if I want to really go through getting to level 122 again

random magnet
#

cheat engine edit soul essence

#

you need to find the correct value though

#

otherwise it resets

#

I played on mobile for a few months to grind to 188, i sure as hell won't do it again

#

just need to uh

#

beat both monarch and gluttony in one run

thats going to be painful

Thanksgiving break is over

#

honestly lucky enough to get 3 days

#

Back to the officeWideWizard

#

Man don't know if I can go back to touch screen now where half of the screen is clustered with buttons and you can't even play the game without autofire on

#

and good luck hiding a controller in the workplace

random magnet
#

That’s me baby

#

Can’t wait to drink 3 gallons of water to sober up for work tomorrow

#

That’s what I call a “piss up a storm maneuver”

#

Has 95% success rate, the other 5% you call in sick

sudden crown
#

if i take para and FnB from interdependant fortunes, enemies will have 1 hp?

spice forum
#

Can have

#

not every enemy gets the effect

sudden crown
#

ok

somber summit
#

Might be a good pick in endless

spice forum
#

Whatever you do

#

DONT pick this thing

somber summit
#

Y not?

tulip steppe
#

enemies gets a revive

somber summit
#

Oh yeah, i thought as a scroll for urself

#

But lifesaver, spirit feline, lightless shield and triple comback is a no go for me

tulip steppe
#

makes sense

exotic drift
#

what's you guys' highest endless stage?

tulip steppe
#

88

exotic drift
#

my friend just crashed at ~180

tulip steppe
#

makes sense

somber summit
#

Ima push the game to 1000 over multiple days to set the record once and for all

tulip steppe
#

enemies cap at binary

#

2.something bil

exotic drift
#

yeah

somber summit
#

After stage 100 everything is the same anyways

#

But for the funny number i guess

tulip steppe
#

fair

somber summit
#

To be fair from stage 20 and above everything feels the same

edgy lodge
#

nah

#

I gotta tell you something

#

sorry new here

tulip steppe
#

have you tried another build btw?

edgy lodge
#

but I has news for endless players

#

I pushed the limits of Endless and 1000 currently is no where near possible

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

The game WILL set you at 149 if you choose to have a break

#

and I crashed at 180 ish

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

game will eventually give in mate :(

#

1000 is currently impossible

somber summit
#

Ill see, my game always does funny things that arent supposed to be possible

exotic drift
#

and so a rivalry was born

edgy lodge
#

😔

#

It ain't a rivalry XD

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

What build did you do Pie?

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

same haha

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

someone on youtube did that

#

was that you?

somber summit
#

Got my 1 trillion dmg wich was cool

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

oh epic

#

I used Zi Xiao

#

ultimate overall DPS

somber summit
#

One of the only other viable characters

edgy lodge
#

yeah

#

The enemies scale to a point that any other character can't keep up

#

the time is the only problem

tulip steppe
#

now do it with Bird QingUp

edgy lodge
somber summit
#

I think piercing flame is a bit better cuz it can bypass the cap a bit easier by doing 1quadrillion+ dmg wich bugs that game

#

Bugs it in a good way

edgy lodge
#

yeah
reason I got to 180 was because I had to use a cheese build XD
it dont work on bosses

tulip steppe
#

give them Para

edgy lodge
#

they are gonna tone down endless at some point

somber summit
#

If you got to 180 it clearly works

edgy lodge
#

it crashed after 180 but the cheese build works
it gets to a point that Card DPS will eventually kill bosses quicker if you have the right scrolls

somber summit
#

Im home in 2hrs so ill get to testing then

tulip steppe
#

oki

edgy lodge
#

Extravagant Consumption, Dual Edge, Enduring Caster, Elite Assassin (all enhanced) damage
Spirit Feline for survivability

#

and any other defense scrolls

#

I have save files backed up so I might try and psuh 180

#

but the game gives up at 180

#

Last screenshot I got, before I got a unity crash at 180 :(

somber summit
#

Oh yeah, i bugged extrav consumption and it gave me 60k stacks wich was zesty

edgy lodge
#

yummy yummy

#

me when I buy everything from the peddler only to recycle it in front of him for more cash

somber summit
#

IKR

#

reverse scam

edgy lodge
#

Managed to get to a point where every gun I bought was +57

#

I might vc in this discord and share screen for people because I have saves backed up

#

later on

exotic drift
#

10 pixels because your stream was kinda spazzing out

sudden crown
#

finally killed gluttony

edgy lodge
#

I was showing a friend my gameplay in vc, must have took photo for me XD

#

Well, yeah I am gonna go in to general voice at some point later and screen share how mental this current patch endless is
gives me a break from Spiritual Assault, I tried pushing for level 60 but I don't think it is physically possible

spice forum
#

"Mom , can we get "OP Sniper Monkey Build" ?"
"No , we have "OP Sniper Monkey Build" at home"

#

The "OP Sniper Monkey Build" at home :

#

Starting a run and I dont say no to make shift solutions

twin sierra
#

Irene with a bunny yesterday who got us to stage sixty before I crash

#

He didn't have unfettered will or dual edge he ran Rate of fire didn't even use spores

tulip steppe
#

i doubt spore does much in endless

twin sierra
#

When he crashed he had almost six hundred billion

#

I tried your money build yesterday it sucked

tulip steppe
#

money?

twin sierra
#

If you don't get an early dual edge your weapon damage can't scale enough

#

The blades cap at 20k

tulip steppe
#

no?

twin sierra
#

Yes
Against bosses

tulip steppe
#

thats ice blades.

twin sierra
#

U had ice blades

spice forum
#

Ice blades and Giant Slayer are bad anyway

tulip steppe
#

sure, but the blades do +1mil per hit

spice forum
#

they dont scale with the hp past normal mode

twin sierra
#

No

tulip steppe
spice forum
#

Yes normal enemies

somber summit
spice forum
#

Not intended

#

Base behavior

#

we are not talking bugs or glitches

somber summit
#

Exactly, if it works as intended its pretty ass

spice forum
#

And Ice blades and giant slayer CAP against elites and bosses

#

making them virtually useless

tulip steppe
spice forum
#

And for you it caps at 20k against bosses and elites due to lone wolf

#

ICe blade scales with player count

#

4 players = 4 x 5000 dmg

#

20k

tulip steppe
#

yeah, they shit against that

edgy lodge
#

Lone Wolf puts a player count
when using it, the game will scale as if it is 2-4 players, depends what ya choose

spice forum
#

And effects like Ice blade take those scalings

sudden crown
#

lone wolf just scales enemy damage and elite spawns

spice forum
#

With 1 player and no Lone wolf its even worse

tulip steppe
#

only used Ice blade because nothing better was offered.

spice forum
#

5k is sneezing with a distant non crit foundry hit at that point

edgy lodge
#

and for endless, you will get to a point you outscale the bosses
the bosses health cap at 2147483600 precisely (the offspring and Lu Wu will have double that)

#

it is at like round 70 it does that

edgy lodge
#

yeeee

#

47 off the limit for some reason XD

sudden crown
#

to avoid crashes id guess

tulip steppe
#

my last bunny, star devourer gang

somber summit
#

I will hit 1billion dmg in one hit

edgy lodge
#

but then if you have dual edge, extravagant consumption, elite assassin and ENHANCED enduring caster (If you have skill build) (also surprise bonus and untold effort is nice for Zi Xiao)

edgy lodge
edgy lodge
#

Like I said I will demonstrate how unstable the game is at 149-180 in general vc later if yous want
I have the save still

somber summit
spice forum
#

yay

edgy lodge
#

I think I might try the bunny coupled with the hilarious cheese build at some point to just see how much the game can really take

somber summit
tulip steppe
#

VC party later then

spice forum
#

Found one

somber summit
edgy lodge
spice forum
#

I mean its the tomb

spice forum

not gonna get more rolls that that

somber summit

tulip steppe

ice blade does nothing

edgy lodge

oh soot forgor

don't bother

rare marlin
#

Hey guys I just purchased this game today and its totally the type of game I like but I wanted to know i the dlc is worth the buy as well

tulip steppe
#

wish i had longer Shadowplay, missed to clip Gluttony shield insta death

rare marlin
#

Thank you

spice forum
#

Its 4 characters you are missing out on and some weapons

edgy lodge
#

definitely gonna try the bunny out
get her set up
combine with ultimate cheese strat
gonna push the very limits of this game lol

rare marlin
#

Dang I kinda wish they had the option to make the dlc one bundle to buy instead of buying them separately

tulip steppe
#

i think you wanna try the monkey PF, as it actually 1 shots monarch and gluttony, skipping all phases (sometimes=?)

edgy lodge
#

because I wanna break this game lol

tulip steppe
#

i don't really know, its Pie's domain

#

i got no PF

edgy lodge
#

@somber summit able to provide me?

somber summit
#

Works pretty consistent up to stage 30 ish

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

nice man

#

my point of skill in this run is all boss focused, as I know the fastest way to progress basic levels and elites

edgy lodge
#

oh sweet imma watch

#

oh gosh

spice forum
#

Nap time

edgy lodge
#

can you tell me the scroll/ascension pls?
if that ain't trouble?

#

I did see ur clip on youtube and did try to recreate it with a friend haha

somber summit
#

99% is the weapon being broken

#

Also devs, pls dont patch🙏

edgy lodge
#

ah right so it is all buff the weapon
and ik you need the sniper, but is the 2nd gun shotgun?

edgy lodge
#

no patchy

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

that is the blessing that combines the guns with primary rught?

spice forum
#

Dimensional Strike if you mean the Blessing pie

somber summit
edgy lodge
spice forum
#

Unstoppable Phantom

somber summit
spice forum
#

Unstoppable Phantom is for Multi Hit
Dimenstional Strike is the blessing on the far left in your screen

edgy lodge
#

I have this on a 2nd save file, but sacrificed my save for this

edgy lodge
somber summit
edgy lodge
#

are scrolls massively vital for this?
and what is your 2nd gun?

edgy lodge
#

Rainbow gaming 😎

somber summit
#

I hate rainbow

edgy lodge
#

you need it 😔

somber summit
#

Only time i use rainbow is when im speedrunning (without spores)

somber summit
edgy lodge
#

use that backup weapon slots to your advantage :sunglasees:

somber summit
#

Emote fail

edgy lodge
somber summit
#

I love that emote lol

edgy lodge
#

check DMs in a sec

#

@somber summit am I ok to know what your 2nd gun is for the monkey build? and if I need to level both guns?
also what scrolls are vital?

somber summit
#

Sure

edgy lodge
#

I dont mind if you tell here or DMs

rare marlin
#

Damn 2nd run I ever made I ran into the 2nd boss and I wanna know how you can dodge that sand blast attack he spams

#

or I guess you would call it some sort of beam attack

sudden crown
#

old photo, but strat still the same

rare marlin
#

oh wow so I just move to the right when he does that?

#

okay cool thank you

sudden crown
#

and dont be too far

rare marlin
#

okay

sudden crown
#

worst case, just dodge through it

rare marlin
#

Im usually a keyboard and mouse player but would it be better to play with controller?

sudden crown
#

im kbm player as well

rare marlin
#

Okay bet I love the game so far and can totally see myself always doing that "one more run cycle" but damn the only con I feel is that some of these enemies will legit kill you within 2-3 seconds with no time to react to the hits or be able to dodge

#

I got lucky with my 2nd run and had the item to revive myself 3 times

#

Otherwise I probably wouldn't have gone as far as I did in my last run

trim swan
edgy lodge
trim swan
#

thanks

round thunder
#

i swtg RE9 is the antithesis of fun why did they have to limit endless to that difficulty?

trim swan
#

because the devs hate us

#

@somber summit you on?

somber summit
#

ye

tulip steppe
#

VC?

somber summit

Wierd stream things

twin sierra

Had mine too princecri

edgy lodge
#

gonna start a new run, cant join vc tho sorry

random magnet
#

hmmmm

#

my brain is doing all kind of calculations

#

I got the furious flame fusion as crown prince

#

I was gonna do a share element run with the pistol

#

now maybe I turn this into fire damage and do shared mag with big hippo

#

Ok what If I convert the aura of venom pistol into fire damage with spirtual link?

#

do i loss damage somehow or its like a flawless conversion

#

shit I can't even do that

#

Can I turn the aura of venom into normal damage somehow?

twin sierra
#

No

random magnet
#

oh man but I need to proc combustion reliablely not relying on the 2 second cd blessing

#

Will have to go with the pistol shotgun and shared element

#

Just so I'm clear, shared element only affects proc chances right?

#

if I have like 500%+ fire damage its not gonna suddenly switch to corrosion damage if it hits armor

tulip steppe
round thunder
random magnet
#

I don't know

spice forum
#

No

random magnet
#

I don't play with elements that much, its always shared mag, fixed mag

spice forum
#

It gains the benefit of shock and the % chance of the other weapon to deal shock effect

#

So a fire weapon with shock shared to it is now also effective against shields and can shock

#

they cant get bonus from lightning elemental bonus and fire elemental bonus

#

only fire

random magnet
#

oh nice

#

so I dont have to bother with acidominance

#

level 3 sucks anyways

spice forum
#

No ?

round thunder
spice forum
#

shock into fire

round thunder
#

Ah okay, just wanted to be sure.

spice forum
#

fire into shock would make the shock weapon better against flesh ( red hp)

spice forum
#

This is identical to your nades

random magnet
#

yeah but I dont have skill dmage

spice forum
#

all bonus and ascensions

#

doesnt matter

#

free wide spread corrosion effect

#

nades are 100% chance for corrosion effect

random magnet
#

hmmmm

spice forum
#

and that in an aoe

random magnet
#

so I can save the element gimini and go for shared mag?

spice forum
#

if you have acid 3 you basically already have a corrosive share on you

random magnet
#

but thats 3 slots though

#

I got 2 good fusions

#

want to max out fire, wildfire, and elemental rage

twin sierra
#

Painkiller is reliable enough

random magnet
#

what is painkiller

#

blessing?

#

oh yeah thats the one i was talking about

#

I didn't like the 2 seconds cd

#

especially in endless shits are all over the place

twin sierra
#

It isnt really 2 seconds

random magnet
#

really?

twin sierra
#

Its 2 seconds per enemy

random magnet
#

oh

twin sierra
#

Yup

random magnet
#

hmmmm

twin sierra
#

Thats why on cat i use thunderstorm to spread painkiller

random magnet
#

but for tankier ones I will have to proc multiple

#

to kill them

twin sierra
#

Use thunderstorm then fire tower for sub

#

Fire tower will melt bosses thunderstorms to clear rooms

edgy lodge
twin sierra
#

Painkiller elemental orb field proficiency

#

Then lone wolf counter violence

random magnet
#

ok so are the nades a constant corrosion effect?

#

if I proc burn on them they explode

twin sierra
#

U dont ueven use bades

twin sierra
#

Just use thunderstorm

random magnet
#

and I can do it again if they are in nades range

edgy lodge
exotic drift
#

just kidnap jay gg

edgy lodge
random magnet
#

well I hope I will have enough slots for wild fire level 3

twin sierra
#

Level 1 is enough

I can't get out

#

U want pyro dom 3 asid dom 3 hex smoke 3

holy shit I thought the run ended

#

#

What about elemental rage?

#

is hex smoke damage multiplicative ?

round thunder
random magnet
#

the increased damage they take in the smoke

round thunder
random magnet
#

woah

#

ok im grabbing it

round thunder
#

generally as long as the boni have different names/descriptions they are multiplicative

twin sierra
#

Thats why i said acid dom 3

#

It procs hex smoke without using grenades

#

Pair with thunder storm and counter violence everything has hex smoke on i
