Is the game still alive?. I thought it died years ago.

Are people still playing this?

You should just Let it Die™

>>16655137

That was horrible, Carlos. Go die.

>>16654979

Is this a PC only event

Do they still update on the PS4?

>>16654979

Did they make death metal easier to get or is it still a pain in the ass that get the specific one you need?

>>16655149

Scratch that, I meant boss metal.

I kinda miss these threads, even if I haven't played the game in months. It just takes so much time to grind in Tengoku that you can't just pick up and play the game.

Have some music anyway.

i do a weekly run to floor 100 for the bloodnium shrooms. and log in daily just to see if there's a fight, because that means free death metals. i've been doing this for months to the point i've gathered almost 80 DM just by doing fights every 2-3 days.

there really isnt anything to do once you get to tengoku. its just the same floors, the same bosses, but with higher numbers so you get killed in one shot if you fuck up even with +14 armor.

making actual new content would imply designing new maps, modeling all that shit, making new enemies. thats a huge investment. so they will keep rehashing floors and maybe applying a different color filter to the screen like they did with tengoku because even with 5m downloads the game just isnt that profitable.

its too bad this wasn't designed with at least some form of co-op in mind.

oh boy they're raising the cap on everything again. wonderful. this is quality™ content™.

are people really playing it that much? i mean all they do every 3 months is give you some new toy and some new cosmetic armor and once a year increase the numbers. thats it.

I didn't know this was grasshopper. But can I play it offline, and unlock all paid DLC with trainers?

>>16656322

> But can I play it offline

No.

>and unlock all paid DLC with trainers

There isn't any DLC per se. There are occasionally limited time collabs, where you can buy decals or equipment blueprints only using death metals, the game's premium currency. But you can earn death metals by winning against other teams in TDM or getting them from lost bags if you're lucky. Using trainers will probably get you banned. But all in all, the game is very fair when it comes to playing it without using money.

Maybe I'll give this a go. It looks kinds neat and its F R E E so its not like I will lose anything but a little bit of time.

STOP THIS

>Focus on actual effort instead of microtransactions

>Interesting story and direction

I think I found the first good F2P game. Why did it take so long for me to find it.

>>16657612

just download the soundtrack and don't even bother, not even worth it.

>>16657896

Already got the OST,

>>16657763

I guess that's as good a stopping point as any.

>'cause if you pick up the PS4 version some of the old players will have unfair advantages over you, such as high-tier decals that are no longer obtainable.

>Play on the PS4

>Rank 20

>Still a bit left to go in the tower.

>Start getting invaded by this glow in the dark nigger.

>One shots me every fucking time.

>Look up his equipment.

>Beyond endgame shit, like level 120 shit, uncapped.

>Why did it take so long for me to find it.

Because the faggots don't know how to market it.

>Bunch of fake Let It Die merchandise that people want.

>No real Let It Die merchandise.

>Uncle Death stickers and t-shirts would sell like crazy.

They created one of the best faux-retro characters in a while and don't market whore him like Travis Touchdown the Turbo Cuck.

I don't believe for a second that a freemium game isn't unbalanced toward whales. So what's the catch, does death metal speed up gathering or skillups of some kind?

>>16659052

Death Metals.

There's stupid uses like continuing and speeding up development or buying materials out of the machines. Only buy materials with death metals if you're absolutely fucking desperate.You get more materials with R-points than DMs.

There's decent uses like expanding your storage slots.

2 coins is 10 spaces. I've sank about 20 bucks in the game since I started.

Free Death Metals : Either you average 2 to 8 per week if you signed up with/ switched to an active TDM team.

Or you get extremely lucky and get 2 as a log in bonus.

If you buy a pass, you get the following.

>Extra bag spaces.

This is the only true benefit of spending money.

>A random sticker every day.

It's a shit tier sticker, but hey it's one more you can sacrifice to the recycling machine.

>Access to the express elevator for a fucking month.

>Express elevator may give you a rage bonus when you use it.

Depends on how much you feel about the elevator system and how active you are in the game. If you play the game non-top, it's a real value. What you save in -ingame coins is immense.

>The ability to run away from TDM matches before the escape timer is finished.

Useless. If you're smart you never run from TDM. Eat the loss faggot.

tl;dr : Spending money gets you no more than grinding. Even if you spend the cash, you still have to grind for the materials , skill points and level your characters to be strong enough to actually use the fucking item.

Now a faggot who grinded out a few million coins and bought a million stickers and turned them into R-points is infinitely more dangerous than a whale who bought a ton of death metals.

That Into the Pit area is really good for screamer killing quests since you get 36 kills in about 2 minutes. Plus the treasure tubers drop lots of red metals.

Can't let the thread die.
