Someone in there has a sense of humor, a sense of timing, or both

>>16311934

Risk of reddit is a shit game that shilled more than its actually played, for somereason it went from 2D "retro" pixelshit to 3D

>>16311934

You go through a series of slightly randomly generated maps, collecting lots of little bits of loot that give you various buffs or abilities. Enemies constantly spawn in while you're doing so. There is also a timer that is gradually increasing the difficulty the longer you play. Once you're done with a map, you activate a teleporter and a boss, and progress to the next map in sequence once the teleporter is open. Rinse and repeat until you beat the final boss or die.

Have the devs talked about what they are planning on adding in? Playing as the mercenary is a blast but going through the same levels and fighting the same bosses till your invincible is making me want to go back and play the more complete first game

>>16312149

Nu/v/ at its finest. Stop being a tryhard, you only make a fool of yourself.

but can you play it cracked?

>>16313120

Is that the best you can muster? maybe you should try defending your shit game instead of namecalling like a passive aggressive bitch

>>16312149

That's a pretty badass outlook you've got there, dude. It's cynical and very "/v/". Have you considered starting a youtube channel? You could make cynical reviews of video games, and hide lots of epic references to us fellow image boarders in there.

>>16311795

It was probably due to gameplay balance rather than engine limitation or something like that.

>>16313301

Ah yes, nothing SCREAMS /v/ like a shit indie game that gets constantly shilled!

>you're claiming that shilling doesn't exist here

it absolutely does, but i'm going to need to see more than three threads in two or three days about a niche game to concede that it's being "shilled", especially since the devs have ties to this meme board

>>16313317

What do you think is acceptable to enjoy here, desperate newnigger? Only unpopular AA titles that are at least 10 years old?

You do realize that, unlike whatever social media cesspit you crawled out of, there is no social standing attached to your name, and there is nothing to be gained by trying to pose like an epic cool oldfag and nothing to be lost by talking about a game other anons may not enjoy?

RoR1 is deservedly popular. It's a nice, simple little roguelike with good atmosphere, its earliest conception was via image board, and it's not been touched by poz. I don't even generally like roguelikes and I put around 30 hours into RoR. You're a nigger.

>>16313328

Those spoiled sacks of shit ARE allowed to pick albeit in a minor way.

I dont even want to see what suggestions they are trying to suggest for the game mainly because they probably are all faggots who never even played the first game.

I personally want to the to get finished, thats all

>>16313616

Anyone who pays for the new one published by gearbox is a fucking faggot though. And since there's no working pirate copy, OP is a huge faggot by proxy.

>>16313328

Wanting the same artifacts from RoR1, namely Command and Glass, is perfectly reasonable. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to ask for the final boss because I'm fairly certain everyone knows it's coming anyway.

The main thing I want personally is better visibility/some kind of guidance for finding the teleporter, and less overall reliance on "cover" instead of dodging.

Also if this is the new ROR2 thread can anyone tell me how the fuck to deal with the Electric Worms? They are the ones to always end my fucking runs, I simply can never get past those guys.

>>16313701

I haven't fought electric worms yet. When do they show up? I thought I've seen everything, too.

>>16313701

shoot them in the dick 9 trillion times from a safe distance. If you're playing huntress then you have to pluck away at them for a shitload of time baiting with arrow rain to try to get hits in because huntress max range means you can't shoot from any further than melee range half the time. Merc has the hardest time because he sometimes can get unlucky and the worm just decides to hang out at the top of the map.

TLDR: They're not super hard but they take forever to kill.

>>16313701

Also, holy shit how do you kill the electric vagrant? That AOE attack takes up half the goddamn map and instagibs me every time.

>>16313803

Break LoS

>>16313803

You mean his charged AoE? Just stay behind a rock or something, you can take cover.

>>16313826

Yeah, the jellyfish can't hurt you with the charge if he doesn't have LoS to you.

Also the Golden dude is pretty tame, he does a metric assload but the enemy spawn rate is pretty low on that map so it's not an issue. It's also just a boss arena

>>16313826

The gold golem is fucking ridiculous. "Have an abundance of gold" is not how this shit works. You have to farm in level, because of course your gold is reset to 0. 7 statues at 282 gold each to make it vulnerable TEMPORALLY, then all 7 statues reset and you have to do it again. I don't recommend attempting it before looping.

>>16313661

I really hope they make Command a Gacha artifact in this game just to spite those people. Nothing would entertain me quite like the idea of having the game present you with an item you actually want alongside four or five others and giving you the one you want the least

>>16314292

Do those gristly twigs look like a woman's thighs to you, tranny?

>>16314386

It is, and I get it more often than the weaker items in that tier. Their drop system really confuses me.

I don't think I like the lunar items much. They are an interesting addition, but the downsides to each of the items seems like it will fuck you over more than the positives will help you.

>>16314292

Engineer is broken as fuck. Everyone else has to at least try, engineer can sit in his bubble and let his turrets do all the work.

>>16315100

Yeah everyone in my group seems assblasted by the description saying it's capped at 10% of max health healing per sec and therefore worthless.

I don't get it. Seems good to me.

>>16314383

>MERC plays far better then ror1

I find that hard to believe. Merc was the best and most fun class in RoR1. In RoR2 flying enemies are a major pain.

>>16315653

Just dash into them: https://clips.twitch.tv/NiceCarelessAppleDoritosChip

>>16315668

Does merc still have iframes on his dash and spin moves?

>>16316106

Yeah, it doesn't really help against elite enemies as the I-frames doesn't quite help enough to survive, but combined with the afterburner you could probably do some dashes deal damage and

then escape.

>>16312149

Would you mind giving me an actual answer instead of some assblasted shitpost?

>>16315644

It depends on what you use your healing for.

if you're actually drawing a good chunk of your in-combat survivability from heals, corpsebloom is an easy way to screw yourself, but then you can say that about every lunar item used outside its niche

>glass gets Mul-T bodied when he strolls into a slugfest

>transcendance makes engie's turrets get less sustain as mobs get bigger

>effigy is actually shit, why would you use this holy fuck

>>16314292

I only wish his turrets would prioritize bosses, also their AI seems to break sometimes, they get stuck trying to shoot at something outside of their view and wont ever switch to closer targets.

>>16313328

Why would they push for things that are already planned anyways?

>>16311813

>all these mul-t's

they hit a nail with this nigga, robot is best RoR2

>>16315100

Played a bit more with them, and I gotta take that back. There are some good very good ones. I do find it interesting that they have an equipment and lunar item pair in the crowdfunder and the brittle crown. That is about the only way I can see the crowdfunder being worth it.

But you can play with up to 16 if you mod it right.

I HAVE GOTTEN TO THE THIRD TELEPORTER AND BEATEN IT WITHOUT HEALING ITEMS SEVERAL FUCKING TIMES NOW AND IT WON'T GIVE ME THE ITEM

>>16331831

>Without healing, reach and complete the 3rd teleporter event.

It's not 'without healing items', it's 'without healing outside of natural regeneration from what I can tell when I did it'. Did you open any of the small capsules for gold? They tend to drop healing orbs which nullify the challenge.

>>16312209

Infusions do, anything that gives you green numbers on your character will count as "healing"

I've been wanting to play for the past few days but I'm sick as a dog and can barely look at my computer screen without wanting to close my eyes from the pain. It's fucking suffering. I just wanted a good monsoon Merc run.

Magma Worms aren't that scary but it takes me way too long to kill one as Engi. Turrrets don't target it fast enough.

>>16339175

I feel like just about every character isn't great at killing magma worms. They just move around a fuckton, at least their attacks aren't very hard to dodge.

>>16337168

The game had been so stable up to that point too. I was really disappointed. I still have no idea why the game decided to spawn so many beetle queens out of nowhere either. The level had seemed really quiet til that point. At least I was able to keep all the challenged I did.

>>16337168

"Kill an elite boss on monsoon" is bugged as shit. I've killed every elite boss when they were the boss at least once, and still don't have credit.

>>16339387

You wanna complain about bugs? My teleporter never spawned.

>>16339784

I survived for 30 minutes without even playing. I was engineer, and just went afk and survived until and actual boss showed up.

Is the game actually fun? Looked at gameplay and it doesn't look all that great. Might as well try it out anyway.

>tfw huntress with 4 crowbars and a sac dagger

throw out a glaive and i wipe all the trash

merc would be fun if magma worm wasnt a thing

what the fuck

Anyone hosting?

>>16339205

That's the great thing: the game continually gets harder so you will always eventually end up with a challenge that meets and exceeds your resources. With more players, items are spread more thinly, and more of your progress becomes dependent on individual players than just stacking gear to the moon. Which also makes the team enter a death spiral whenever one of the individual, weaker than normal, players dies. The game self-balances no matter how many players you have.

>>16340199

I can feel the disappointment when you find out the top of the tree isn't there. Really this entire thing is caused by the headstompers.

>>16339194

Commando and Mul-T can reliably snipe it but the process is slower than taking care of any other boss. It is much safer though.

>>16340199

Anyone else find that the Engineer is OP as shit? I've never had a bad run with him. I'm pretty sure every single item in the game is at least decent on him.

>>16340206

>the game continually gets harder

WRONG. After around 2 hours the game starts getting easier (regardless of your items). By 3 hours in most modes, almost nothing spawns.

>>16340262

Yes he's OP. No, not every item is good. Never take Transcendence or Corpsebloom for starters. Other characters get great benefit from Transendence (corpsebloom is pretty shit no matter who you play), but on Engi i means his turrets no longer self-heal effectively, plus you can no longer abuse Bustling Fungus.

>>16340270

Also for a more common example, Engineer really doesn't want Backup Mags. His mines are pretty much worthless as is, plus he gets 10 stocks anyway. Adding +1 stock to that while technically not harmful, is about as useful as a rusty key.

>>16340262

He's a hard tradeoff. You're slow, you've got no dodge, your primary attack has serious windup, and none of your other abilities can be used super proactively. Mines are powerful but not actually useful as mines and take an eon to recharge even if you get in a boss' face and dump them. His real feature is that he's a force multiplier for items because of his turrets, which themselves aren't really good until they have items.

Engy is a diesel juggernaut. It takes him a while to get started, but once he's going, it's hard to stop him. As for bad items on him? He's the only character where Backup Magazine is practically useless, only getting you a single additional mine that doesn't address the primary problem of still taking forever to reload. Healing items that aren't the Bustling Fungus are kind of shitty for him because his attacks rely on few large hits in the case of Leeching Seed and you want to be far away from the action in the case of Monster Tooth. Movement items are of course good for anyone, but Engy's primary feature, the turret item duplication, just doesn't make use of them.

>>16340270

Well yeah, but that's true even for solo runs, so it's moot.

Is critical chance capped? I paid 1 lunar for one of those altars that reorganizes all your items into a random stack per rarity but I couldn't hit crits 100% of the time despite having more than 10 lens.

>>16340270

>WRONG. After around 2 hours the game starts getting easier (regardless of your items). By 3 hours in most modes, almost nothing spawns.

I noticed something about the game's difficulty when my Teleporter glitched and never spawned. It seems to cap out per level to a degree. The game will get harder while playing the level, but mainly to a limit, and then the difficulty kicks in when you get to the next level. It did increase slowly, but I genuinely alt+tabbed and survived for 15-20 minutes.

>>16340290

Didn't know that. I was mainly talking about how in really long runs you reach a point where the scaling algorithm seems to exceed what the game is actually able to spawn, so it spawns nothing at all

Anyway if what you said is true, you should be able to sit on an engi for a few hours to farm coins while alt-tabbed, of course it'd be smarter just to edit your save.

>>16340297

I haven't reached that point yet, but I haven't been playing too much yet. It annoys me they didn't ship the game with a final boss or a way to end the game other than death.

>>16340312

You can see the green giant as the interim final boss.

>>16340334

And now I'm wondering if the last 10 games I beat ever thanked me for my efforts. The bastards.

>>16340300

>not stacking 3-5 gesture of the drowned with royal capacitor and disposable missile launcher

You don't even need to play anymore if you have these.

>>16340342

> Ocular HUD

Why? Engi turrets do not benefit from it.

>>16340362

You serious?

Fuck me I never realized that.

>>16340402

I'll have to try it out again but I'm pretty sure the turrets don't gain crit chance when you use it, nor do they spawn with 100% crit chance either.

>>16340429

Yeah, but you have to survive 2 hours first. Which is the part I usually fail at. Is the effect going on because of stacking 2 or more gestures of the drowned?

>>16340429

You know, I'm not actually sure WHAT is doing 9999+ damage here. Originally it was the sticky bombs, but those don't even have time to detonate. It's got to be the ATG missiles I guess. 35% chance to launch with every individual hit, does 3000% damage each.

>>16340453

Gesture of the Drowned stacks mutliplicitively. It takes around 5-6 of them to get the Disposable Missile Launcher to fire continuously. It never fires faster than that webm, any extra speed will cause the uses to be "queued up" and keep firing if you switch equipments, so that's a thing that MUL-T can use. Of course in that Webm I also have 3 Soulbound Catalyists, which reduce equipment cooldowns for every kill, which is why my cooldown is actually in the negatives, not that it makes any difference.

>>16340463

I see. It would be funny to see that going on with the blue meteor.

>>16340429

My favourite way to abuse this is rocket launcher+capacitor on the robot. Lighting smites anything you look at across the stage and the rockets hit everything you don't see. Drones are also fun if you want to shit up the screen as much as possible and die to some easily avoided attack because a drone spawned in front of you and blocked you.

>>16340470

It would end the game pretty fast but you could do it if you wanted.

>>16311795

Of course when there are games I actually want to play that isn't a roguelike or 90s game and my Graphic cards take's a shit and dies.

>>16340470

I did that once. I was in a situation where in spite of having instant-use items, I couldn't actually do enough damage to finish the level in a reasonable time. I decided to end it all in style with the Meteorite. My framerate was the first casualty, as it tried to summon an uncountable number of meteorites simultaneously.

So are we gonna play, or just chat?

Lobby should be modded but it doesn't work any longer as far as I can tell

>>16340978

I bought two of them and then died horribly because the time it took to farm the gold increased the difficulty, and then they glitched like that in the next level.

>>16340978

>>16340991

Those drones are pretty shitty for how much they cost. But you can stand on them, which is kinda cool.

>>16340991

Pretty much my experience, never ever buy drones.

>>16340991

>>16341002

>>16341004

in my experience the big ones are great right up until they get stuck like that

also regular drones are good early game for keeping your level high then by the time they start to die en masse you usually don't need them anymore

>>16341056

It's not so much that they're bad, but that they're not worth the price that the game asks for them, most of the time you'll get more value out of just opening chests with that money. And it's not until later into the game that you'll run out of stuff to spend your lods of emone on, at which point they'll just get obliterated by the first overloading worm that touches them.

>>16340978

Yeah, drones need either better pathfinding ai or the ability to phase through terrain like they had in RoR 1. And it would also be nice if they were programmed to avoid the Vagrant's fuckoff AoE

It's suffering to know I will never see that many red items in a solo run. Fucking 3 back to back. All top tier too.

>>16340908

Roboboy here. Fun times were had. I wish the game wasn't so laggy though. After the first 5-7 stages I just randomly died after 30 seconds or so. I wish I could have used those 8 Praeon Accelerators to their full potential.

>>16341151

In the 4th area there can be up to 3 legendary chests which always drop red items from what ive seen.

Theres also always a guaranteed legendary chest hidden behind a rock under one of the fuckhuge pillars.

If you grind for it its pretty much a free red item, not money wise but RNG wise.

>>16341167

The one in that little cave is actually not guaranteed. It's like 95-99%, but I've seen it not be there once.

>>16341167

This was in the first area though, then I got 3 more in the 4th area, I was overjoyed, but simultaneously heartbroken that I'd never see anything like that again.

>>16341502

>>16341502

>Noting the Mercenary sometimes launching Greater Wisps into space

NO FUCK I don't want them to fix it! It's too fun!

>>16341502

Fighting magma worms is actually pretty fun, though. Not as much later on, but the biggest issue, I think, with them is that they are a bit too tanky for how mobile and damaging they are.

>>16342465

Magma worms aren't hard, they're just boring HP sponges. Especially in some maps where they can just.. decide to leave and never come down, and you're huntress so you have to sit there and pray that they decide to come back down. So they just end up being un-fun to fight. Especially on the abyss, they can actually go through the skybox and just never come down.

>>16342465

>>16342478

Magma Worms aren't even that spongy. It's just that you can't fucking hit them most of the time.

At least Wandering Vagrants stand still allowing you to deal damage.

I think if the fuckers spent less time moving vertically and more time moving horizontally, they'd be a lot more fun and eventful to fight.

Here is the changes that I think would improve the game, please tell me if yay or nay, the fags that did this were on /agdg/ for the first game so likely they may still be lurking about.

Commando needs a buff, absolutely.

First of all: why the fuck does the normal attack cause spread?

He is not MUL-T, he isn't wielding an automatic rifle, why make him less accurate with his already shitty basic attack?

Plus, I feel his secondary attack (Pulse) should have either a knock back effect, a pull in effect or even both: back in RoR1 the Commando worked well with that because it could push back an entire wave of enemies even if only slightly, in 3D the pulse attack suffers because you have to manually aim, aiding that with a push back/push back and pull in/pull in effect or even widening the AoE area would improve the character and not make Commando just a "use this until you can get a new character unlocked".

Huntress make able to run around even backwards, it's pointless to have a shoot while running ability if running into enemies is always a death warrant.

Engineer… fucking bring back the missiles and replace the fucking mines.

The shield?

I like, works well, make engineer feel like an engineer.

Turrets? Absolutely broken and I love them.

But the mines, the mine were pointless in the first game and now in the second: you will never carefully plan a set of mines to catch unsuspecting foes, no, you will just fucking spam them all at one enemy like grenades and then go back forgetting they even exist.

Replace mines with the harpoons, nobody ever liked the mines, everyone liked the harpoons.

MUL-T is fun and I feel pretty much perfect in its role.

Artificer I'd make immune to fall damage, if only to resemble the fact that she flies all the time, pretty dumb to have someone fly all the time and then get fall damage even though she doesn't hit the ground.

She is pretty decent but the ice wall feels pathetic, if you made the wall larger/wider or just make it like the engineer's mines it would improve it but like the engineer's mines I am not fond of that shit.

Mercenary translates well and bad, I feel the dash has too much build up animation: I'd make the final move have build up while the dashes are instant, since the dash is what you want to use to get out of a sticky situation while the final move you use to actually kill people.

Oh and Lunar Coins are fucking stupid.

The entire lunar concept is fucking stupid.

The lunar items are pointless, they are basically like artifacts but bad, spending semi-permanent currency on such shitty items (except the bug which I found somewhat useful and the drowned thing which is definitively broken).

The effigy of grief for example… why even?

It's such a pitiful area, such a pitiful effect, it isn't even worth the effort.

The burning salve meanwhile is absolutely fucking awful, it's basically a "This game is too easy let's damage myself for no other reason than to damage myself", which you could achieve with fall damage anyway.

I'd rather have Lunar Coins affect the game more on a "run" level, like "Pay 2 coins to get +50% enemies to spawn" or "enemies spawn rate is halved but all enemies are elite" and even "every teleporter has a stack of mountain challenger per every two coin spent" or whatever else.

The lunar items are terrible, they suck, can't imagine why anyone would want them, they are not even fun type of hard, they are just bland.

Some almost good ideas here but maybe you should play Merc and Artificer more and try out the lunar items some more, seems as though you're writing them off due to inexperience with the character/items rather than them actually being bad.

It would be nice to see lunar coins have more uses as well as more ways to obtain them.

>>16342838

The Lunar Items are pointless because it takes way too much effort to farm for them and the payout is an item that has more downsides that benefits.

It could be fun if it was the opposite, in which you GAIN lunar coins by accepting to use lunar items and then lunar coins can gain you other benefits and whatever else but as it is they are bland as fuck and just not fun, at least for me.

>>16342781

The point of Huntress primary while sprinting and her secondary is being fast at clearing levels, being able to deal with small groups of enemies without even slowing down. Altogether fun tools for that usage.

What's the point of Shrines of Combat?

Am I supposed to kill all enemies under a time limit to get a reward or is it just

>lol have some enemies to kill

>>16342943

The second one, just pop em for more enemies so you get more money

>exchanged all of my items for energy drink at 3d printer

>Now I do no damage but got the unlock and as huntress I outrun everything

Keeping 3 syringes and some damage would have been the smart thing to do. I guess I wasn't that smart.

>>16342966

Good to know, thanks.

>>16340199

>>16313826

>drizzle

So, was there an update yesterday or just a blogpost from the devs?

>>16342781

I'd prefer if they added more permanent unlockables for lunar coins or even cosmetics

>>16342465

Wandering Vagraqnts still feel like a boss. I still don't even understand Magama Worm attack patterns after a bunch of play throughs. They feel more like a fucking random environmental danger. And there's nothing you can do to "take advantage" of them. If they brought back the multiple segment damage they fights would actually have a risk/reward challenge of trying to get the optimal shot off on them.

>>16343999

Did you check the secret cliff?

>>16344007

Wow that's lazy, they could easily just buff a bunch of existing units and call them 'empowered X' or whatever, until they've added more new ones.

EA not even once.

>>16344026

Adding in placeholders that will just be removed in a later patch isn't really a good use of time. They should have tweaked the spawning algorithm to ensure that even if you have infinite "spawn credits", you still get some spawns

>>16344037

I'm pretty sure at no point are you given "infinite" spawn credits. If the game did that, you would get a couple hundred Overloading Magma Worms at once and crash the game.

>Managed to loop once then got BTFO by Vagrant's bullshit nuke at the last second because something blocked my aim.

Is it me or is commando really weak?

>>16344007

what happens when you reach that threshold? Do you softlock the game or do you get a game over/win portal saying "it's time to stop"?

>>16344055

First, that's not the way the Spawn Credits apparently work. If the game could spawn hundreds of overloading worms at once it already would be doing that. At some point you hit a level of Spawn Credits where everything you could have spawned is below threshold, which means that there is no "more worms" option past a certain point.

I'm saying that no matter how high the player gets, whatever is in the top-tier group of potential spawns should keep spawning. When they add new enemies that top group will be a little bit higher, but that only means that the game will end in 5 hours instead of 4. I'm saying that whether the game goes for 5 or 5000 hours, there should still be SOMETHING spawning.

Is there a secret area on the research station you can reach by jumping on the floating containers?

>>16344102

I believe it just teleports you back if you try to go out there.

>>16344065

>Is it me or is commando really weak?

He's the worst character easily. Early game he's outperformed by anyone with high damage like Artificer, Engineer, MUL-T. Late game he's outperformed by better mobility. He's supposed to scale the best with on-hit items, since he gets 2 shots per primary with a 1.0 proc coefficient, but by the time that really comes into play you are probably just going to use missile launchers and shit to proc.

>>16344180

It’s how you get runald and kjaro’s bands. You only need two people or to play engineer and put the turrets on them.

>>16344186

>you can put the turrets on the plates

Fuck anon, that's great news, thanks

>>16344189

No problem. Mind you, you have to fight two elite elder lemurians once you get in, so just be prepared.

>>16344195

I'll clench extra hard then, noted.

>>16344186

>>16344195

Worth noting, even if you already have the achivement it's probably worth going in there anyway. They drop those two items when killed (only one of each, even in multiplayer), so it's pretty good loot if you happen to find both pressure plates in a reasonable amount of time. Not worth wasting a ton of time searching for them though.

>>16344227

they only have like 10 spawn points so if you learn them all you can consistently open the gate, assuming you have something/someone to put on the other one and actually have the skill to get the items once you go down there

interesting side note I first got that achievement accidentally by joining a game in progress and just watching the people playing go down there

>>16344242

I've only been able to do it once when the pot was almost already on the switch anyways, but then I usually play artificer so maybe its easier if you roll into it or something

also most of the time that I try the pot gets blown up by a monster before I can get it anywhere close

>>16344226

>you would think that if a guy spent an hour on a map he would know the whole thing inside and out wouldn't you

This is one of the problems with having a game be early access. I would have looked extra hard the first time it happened, but at a point it became reasonable to assume a glitch had happened. When it happened a second time, I assumed the glitch had happened again.

>>16344102

Its just a newt altar, I expect secrets to be hidden in those areas later in development

>>16344195

Two Elite Elder Lemurians that have the items you want equipped. I'm guessing I'm the only one here that has followed the dev blog since RoR2 was announced, but they specifically said they'd built their entire system from the ground up so that anything in the game can apply to anything in the game, with alternate game modes in mind. So given the right circumstances, random mobs can have items. If they bring the Scavenger back, it may actually pick up items around the map to use on you this time around instead of being a skillset. The asset transparency is so complete that if you edit the right files, you can play as anything in the game. Some of you have used this to play as the unreleased Bandit. I've been using it to play as the Prototype Drone, which a few of you have seen me do. Its abilities are already mapped to the correct buttons and I can pick up items to apply to it, though not all of them work, and I can't activate Equipment I'm holding.

Actual spoiler about unannounced content: My brother has used it to play as the Ancient Wisp boss from RoR1, which is evidently making a comeback.

>>16344186

>you can put turrents on them

Why the fuck didnt anyone say so earlier?

>>16344856

Someone did, because I was told about it in a thread here before I knew the buttons existed. It's just been how I always do things.

>>16344879

Unlockable i mean.

did anybody ever get a chance to try out the opinion with trancendence? does it send out a huge stream of weak skulls or does it just not work at all

>>16345098

It sort of works. It's still based on your max hp including shields. It's weird

Starting a 16 player game no other mods heres the code

109775241000542601

>>16345403

Anon its 12:19 in the morning where I am, I no longer have the energy for this shit.

But ill humor you anyways because im bored.

>>16344186

I can only ever find one. It is really annoying, because one time I dedicated myself to do that and write the run off as a loss, and I am pretty sure I saw a golden altar in that level. I am pretty sure that was a glitch of some sort, as I haven't heard of that happening anywhere else. Unfortunately, I didn't try because I dedicated that run to trying to find both pressure plates and wasted far too much time already trying to do so.

>>16344839

People have found items that give you the powers of an elite, and the fact that shield elites don't seem to go down any slower than other elites when focused down, makes me think that the way the vulture item was coded is that it directly applies the code for an elite to the player. So shield elites have their health cut in half and the other half is given to shields.

I wonder if that means parent and child wisps are making a comeback. The reaction to the inclusion of those would be hilarious, and unfortunate.

>>16345460

Lightning elites also have that little lingering lightning AoE bomb on their attacks. It's very fun to dick around with if you get the pickup item and not wake of halving your hp

I've never seen the Elite items. Does anyone know when they start dropping? Were they added in the recent patch?

>>16344007

jesus. thats like warframe after the enemies reach a certain level they just stop spawning.

funny this in warframe that hasn't been fixed since the game was first released.

>>16345511

Do the AOEs count as extra damage to the enemies that get hit initially?

>>16345762

when they explode they do a little bit extra.

>>16345590

As far as I can tell, they either have an obscenely rare drop rate or only start to drop once you've cleared the item log.

>>16346874

Well. I'd test this theory, but I never get an Elite boss on Monsoon, so Deicide is just sitting there un-unlocked indefinitely while I've already got everything else.

>>16345511

FYI, if you use Transcendence anyway (which you should if you find it, unless you are engineer), Wake of Vultures has no downside.

Anyone with experience who has modded the game themselves, does it look like there's any way to change the music tracks? A Made in Abyss OST swap is begging to exist.

wens acrid tho

>Elder lemurian blows me the fuck out with 1 fireball

>Titant literally lasers through his own head without turning and kills me

Ebig, such is life in early access

>>16347563

While titan's can easily laser through their own body, they can't laser through other titans (or any other large enemies). If you get a boss battle with multiple titans you can use that to your advantage.

>>16347599

Unfortunately I started off Loop's 2nd level with a titan at spawn and had a plan to tank damage for a moment blink behind a rock using his turn rate, but alas.

>>16346874

>only start to drop once you've cleared the item log.

too bad the game outright refuses to give me plains after my first run. I am currently sitting at 10 for 10 for roosts on my second pass

all I want is to chase crabs off of the damn cliff is that too much to ask

>>16347830

You should be able to do it on the Wetlands too.

>fantastically good monsoon run

>about to finish loop 4, just need to pop the boss

>get a clusterfuck of worms, with another bunch of titans, imps and elder lemurians spawning by the dozen

>framerate goes single digit and I'm playing merc, no fucking clue what I'm doing anymore

>life bar suddenly disappears from something that outright didn't show up on the screen

This is really frustrating.

>>16348020

>framerate goes single digit

Stop playing on a fucking toaster, or at least stop complaining when the game doesn't run for shit on said toaster. It does not take that much to run this game, I don't even get framrates below 70 unless I'm spamming Backup drones or Meteors with no cooldown.

>>16347847

>not crashing into them with no survivors

That shit does way over 9999 if you fly high enough.

>>16348137 how much damage would >>16340199 do?

>>16348155

It could pretty much 1shot anything except for a golden damage sponge titan, maybe.

>>16347953

you cannot, at least no crabs are spawning on this third pass wetlands

>>16348470

I've never had a TC do anything. They just get stuck somewhere and die to crabs

>>16348470

The big ones are overpriced decoys at the best of times, anon. Which is largely what drones are. They can do some work, but are way too limited unless spammed. In which case, enjoy a Wandering Vagrant's AOE.

>>16348020

>>life bar suddenly disappears from something that outright didn't show up on the screen

It was probably elder lemurian's balanced fireball of burnt offerings (gr. Holocaust)

>>16348470

>drizzle

No shit they work well for you.

I was referring to the TC-280 in particular, the rest are okay for the first couple stages, not exactly reliable later on though.

>>16348651

There's a mod that nerfs fire, might be good enough until Hopoo releases a new patch.

>>16349074

I've been playing as the 280 for a while and now all I want is a player character that is the 280 production model instead of the prototype, with a proper 4 abilities and the option to use Equipment.

>>16348470

Just buy two of the lunar items that cut item use cooldown by half but auto uses it and have some fuel cells. Infinite drones, so many that the game will begin to suffer death by lag.

>>16349190

I wish they removed the dumb bubble thing and made only killing the boss mandatory to progress. I just want to open up the chests while it charges up when I find it early instead of having to waste my time standing inside it.

magnet when

>>16350189

Most people here have the game legit, and pirates can't play with legit copies.

You could throw your money behind an AGDG team. Just saying.

>>16350965

Is it possible to just give money to the devs without having to go through (((GearBox)))?

>>16351032

Buy ROR1 maybe? Again, of course.

>play quickplay

>no-English shitters that steal items, refuse to coordinate

>one quits 3 stages in because he died once while the rest of the party was going strong, taking all of his items out of the run

I am occasionally reminded how much I appreciate you faggots.

>>16349664

It would take more than "a few" fuel cells. Both Gesture of the Drowned and Fuel Cell stack multiplicitively. With 2, The Backup cools down in 25 seconds. With 7, it would cooldown in about 0.8 seconds.

I don't think The Backup has a use animation at all though. If you combine it with Soulbound Catalyst, you can spawn a lot of drones simultainiously. Regardless, the drones SUCK. They don't proc any items or scale with anything except maybe character level. Even with so many drones it kills your framerate, you still won't be doing any real damage in later loops. I tried that once and chose to suicide via meteor rather than wait for the boss to actually die.

>>16351073

Yeah I always keep leaving and joining QP until I get into a group where everyone's name is in english, or at least in english letters. That alone should cut out at least 50% of your problems. The other thing to do is say "Hi" or some variant during character select. Get people to talk even a little bit, and if they don't, leave.

>>16351090

I should add it does nothing at all for leavers, but frankly once you die unless it's during the teleporter boss, the game is pretty much over for you anyway. You fall behind on items and will probably die on the next round, it's very hard to escape the death spiral once it starts.

It's easy however for the remaining, now fewer players to stack more items each because your share of items keeps spawning even if you leave the game, which ultimately results in the game becoming EASIER for the remaining players after you leave, assuming they can make it through about one more level.

>>16351049

that might entail giving money to chucklefish who is also shit

maybe, I don't actually know how publishing profits work

deadbolt is their only self published game

>>16351095

it's still a hell of a lot easier to keep up after dying compared to the first game on account of the shared xp that's going on

>>16351119

what is that "enemy drop lobby" message there?

>>16351165

modded lobby, items drop extremely rarely on enemy kills and all chests no longer spawn items, just random item props and other shit.

>>16351174

so basically sacrifice?

>>16351206

pretty much, the weird shit that pops out of chests is pretty fun though

Is there a mod that lets you look up? there is a massive dead zone right above your head for no reason.

>>16351165

Xp doesn't mean shit after area 2 or 3

>>16351330

XP means levels, higher level means more damage, and everything scales from your base damage stat, which means items will increase in value as your level does. So yeah, it is important.

Enemies still scale faster of course, that is what makes getting more items such a necessity,

>>16344879

Good to know bandito will be back, he was fun

i unlocked cloud strife now what

>>16360297

Hopefully they release Bandit and HAN-D with this update or the next. I'd particularly like to see HAN-D because I want to see what they do to make a slow melee class work with the changes they made, and the sheer number of flying enemies in this game.

>>16361899

HAN-D seems unlikely for the next update, as he was mostly unfinished, Bandit is almost a given though, as all he needed was a few tweaks and sound effects. That said, I'm also really looking to see what they do with HAN-D, he was my favorite character in the first game, followed by Miner and Sniper.

The berserker's pauldron unlock is bullshit, you're more likely to get it by purposefully leaving the boss at 1 hit away from death, standing idle to go to under 10% and then finish the boss rather than have a "glorious battle"

>>16362417

Not exactly at the same time, but you do need to activate them all to damage him.

also >drizzle

>>16361899

I'm wondering if they'll make the drones auto-regenerate and prioritize flying enemies and make FORCED REASSEMBLY like the guardian beetle's ranged attack.

What does artificer's primary recharge cooldown scale off of, attack speed, or is it static?

>>16362417

Yes. and then activate it again once they expire.

>game doesn't pause on loss of focus

>start off with dagger as artificer

>die to a beetle

JUST

>>16362439

Regular cooldown reduction, Alien head works wonders for Artificer, and Brainstalks is a god send for late game.

>>16362409

It's even easier if you just kill the boss without charging the teleporter, get the charge to 95~% and then stop, get to low health and then finish the charge before your regen puts you back over the threshold. You'd think it would involve actually killing things at low health given the name, but no.

>>16362454

>Regular cooldown reduction

That's pretty bad.

Playing him so far and feels like commando with less mobility, technically more damage and cost of 11 moonshekels

>>16362482

>Him

Artificier couldn't be less obviously female if she tried.

>>16362488 checked

Because she's not very useful? (^:

>>16362482

>>16362502

She's quite strong actually, just need some mobility to make up for her shortcomings, and learn to use Snap Freeze effectively. Also the Primordial Cube is fucking invaluable for her and a much better pick than any damage dealing equipment.

>>16362514

>>16362454

>just get 2 rare items and a specific active to do things mercenary with less setting up

>>16362468

the easiest method is to charge the portal to 99% while getting the boss close to 1-shot from outside the charging ring, then jump off the edge of the map multiple times in a row, which first halves your health then brings you to 1%.

then you just need to tap the boss once and you get the achievement.

>>16362521

>2 rare items and specific active

I said Alien head, Brainstalks and Cube are really good for Artificer, not required. Seriously, her synergies are way different from Merc's, all you need is mobility, damage is good out of the box.

>>16362521

Mercenary has good mobility but shit damage. Artificier has poor mobility with fuck-shit-up damage, she just can't rely on autoattack and has to be played tactically.

WHERES THE UPDATE

>>16363088

webm or it didn't happen

>>16363088

It seems like it favors syringes and ukes, I did it and got 73 syringes and 18 ukes

>>16364163

thats all id ever want from it anyways

>>16364163

I generally get garbage like 24 daggers and 10 stealth kits

>>16364829

There is a reason she is considered the weakest character. You need to learn how to use your base mobility to survive until you get upgrades to that, and that will never be enough. The only item that works better with her than anyone else is the crowbar. Most of the other items are better used on other characters. I think I like playing her the most, though.

>>16364858

>The only item that works better with her than anyone else is the crowbar.

hardlight afterburners are amazing on everyone but the difference between one ice wall and 3 is phenomenal. greater wisps with their stun immunity can go to hell. i dont think theyre fun to deal with on anyone but being unable to shatter them sucks.

i would say the extra magazines are amazing too but after you get 2 you kind of need some attack speed to help her charge the thunder balls faster which is a lousy stat on her because it doesnt seem to help firebolts recharge faster and im not even sure it affects flamethrower at all.

>>16364896

I'd say afterburner is pretty useless if you can get an alien head instead.

>>16364858

>You need to learn how to use your base mobility

>how to use a single jump and 7m/s speed against beetle guards or golems

Does the Ice wall at least block laser? or is it too short?

epic.

>>16364896

Crowbar or other on-hits don't seem to work on flamethrower either.

>>16364896

>>16364858

Crowbar is strongest on MUL-T, rather than Artificer.

The 600% damage railgun turns into a rape cannon with a stacked crowbars. Though, of course, MUL-T is horrendously overpowered in comparison to the rest of the cast, so this isnt really surprising

>>16365856

Getting oneshot by a burning elite just a few levels away from unlocking the clover. Just fucking kill me.

>>16365902

GEE MUL-T WHO FUCKING LETS YOU HAVE TWO FUCKING USABLE ITEMS

I wonder how they work with Gesture of the Drowned, does it only activate the active item or both the items?

>>16365902

>MUL-T is overpowered

Not even a little. He's strong early on because his rapid fire does a lot of damage up close. The two-equipment gimmick is entirely unnecessary by the point in the game where it could be good. Anyone can become a god with one equipment and the right items, having 2 equipments doesn't actually make that happen any faster or more reliably. His railgun is also the lowest DPS weapon in the game. Yeah it has infinite range but very rarely is plinking at the enemy from a mile away a valid strategy. He also has zero vertical mobility and functionally no ultimate ability.

>>16365932

It only activates the active item. Not really very useful. At best you can get constant firing missiles and throw some lightning around at the same time

>>16365933

It being low DPS doesnt matter. It has absurd burst damage.

He obliterates most mobs in one strike (With crowbars) and any item that procs with it does LUDICROUS DAMAGE because apparently items that say they do: "300% damage on proc" ACTUALLY do "300% modified primary damage per proc" meaning they do 1200% for Mul-T using the Railgun.

He also has a comparatively large healthpool, and a servicable "Oh Shit" button in his carmode.

His other gun is also OK.

>>16365933

I will say that an early game black hole + royal capacitor combo, when the capacitor procs a ukulele, was fucking fantastic.

>>16368453

>>16368490

Pretty sure he just teleports away at the end.

>>16368184

>>16368169

Just liquidated my steam assets to buy the game, anyone want to play?

>>16368515

no he's legit dead, it's in the item description for the hedgehog headdress primal instincts or whatever it's called

>>16369017

I'd like to hear the reasoning for Bandit not being available right now. People are playing him with what I assume are no issues, and the game is early access anyways. Why not just make him available?

>>16369197

His ult needs work still, it doesn't really work. It's in the polish and balance phase for sure

>>16369197

I imagine bug fixing and trying to draw out interest, so the game can keep a consistent player count.

Anyone Datamine the game yet? What did people find or are we going to avoid spoilers for a ROR game for some reason?

>>16369197

Bandit is like an unpolished diamond, because hes a literal unpolished character still under development.

One time when I was using him his M2 had multiple uses instead of one for some reason, it was probably a glitch, but it made him MUCH more deadly and fun to play with.

They abandoned his grenade thing for a sticky flare thing which is his "R" this time around, but its basically trash when I used it, its too slow as a projectile, does nearly no damage, has no sound effects, can barely tell it it landed or not so its pretty much all around unreliable. Its clearly still in development phase.

Everything else is solid although bandit does seem a bit too squishy, still better than commando though.

>>16369288

Clearly I'm confused at the idea that "Early Access" developers would actually give a shit about their game.

>>16369288

Datamining uncovered a model for "assassin" enforcer, hand-E, and references to sniper in code.

>>16365870

No, it is one of the biggest complaints with the ability. That, when combined with her shit mobility, makes surviving early game more difficult than most characters. You can dodge golem lasers, but I have issues doing it reliably, and it will always be worse than a utility skill to dodge/block them.

>>16369393

People also found the Ancient Wisp. So another old boss is making a come back.

>Play huntress solo

>Get full speed and proc offence option, barely any healing, but six tougher times and two shields

>Get a genuine rush dodging the fucker's lasers within an inch of my life and arrow raining them to death

>I can swear to fuck I heard the huntress laughing when I beat them

I know it was in my mind, but it sounded so real.

After playing a few rounds, I'd say the new patch is alright.

What feels shit is that Worm seems a bit too easy now, in other words (((community suggestion))) made it completely worse to fight, the low jumps just means you have less time to shoot it whilst it does nothing. The only time I felt threatened by it is when I stopped moving and let it hit me, Merc still seems to get hit during eviscerate or coming right out of eviscerate which is frustrating.

However the good side is that ice is pretty threatening with stunning you in place, merc can now eviscerate in between dashes and not lose his dash. Artificer feels more powerful now that she procs on almost every hit, maybe now drizzle players will stop crying that she's bad to play as. fat chance. Getting hit by a fire enemy doesn't feel like an instant kill.

Wake of vultures is now "broken" in a good way, instead of fucking you over by taking half your health away, when the electric buff ends you get your health back and keep the shield health as bonus health until you take enough damage to go back under your max health, it's probably unintended though.

All in all a decent patch. Hopefully worm gets rebuffed. I also want commando's roll to have his iframes back. His roll feels pretty irrelevant without it.

honestly, they just need to bring back multi-hittable magma worm, since that's how the first game made it not insufferable to fight

>>16370834

They should add a kind of sliding on the ground movement type to magma worm. So he can rush at you but be at ground level and exposed when he does it. Giving ample time to hit him but also making it a threat. Maybe add his little magma balls coming out the side as he does it.

They tried that, but it doesn't work because the magma worm still has a boss HP pool that you can only attack like half the time, which is why they should bring back magma worm multi-hits.

Wouldn’t something like ukelele absolutely trivialize it though?

>>16370912

It just made it straight up fun. Angling yourself to try and get the most effective shots possible was a blast. It was the funnest boss to fight by far in the first game.

STOP SHUTTING DOWN THE SERVER EVERYTIME YOU FUCK UP AT STAGE 2 REEEEEEE

the only thing that really trivialized it back in 1 was merc with cursed ring and a shitton of crit, which also happened to trivialize the entire game as well.
