character idea for fun
HAUL-R

[bonebreaking] - enemies take 2x fall damage from this attack.

>primary: fling
hold your forklift-prong-hand in front of yourself, readying up an attack. release to fling all enemies in front of you into the air, the longer you held, the higher (up to a limit) [bonebreaking]
>secondary: raise
grab an ally or enemy in front of you and hold them on top of your head. enemies can be thrown forward by pressing the ability button again, while allies will be gently dropped back down. allies gain +50% attack speed and 100 armor while being held and can jump off at any time. [bonebreaking]
>utility: launch
embrace your inner trollscience and grab yourself, flinging yourself into the air with a backflip. enemies you land on will take 600% damage and fly into the air. [bonebreaking]
>special: strongest bot in the world
grab ANY enemy above your head, then launch into the air, before diving back down, dealing 800% damage+fall damage and executing below 10% health. [bonebreaking]

Railgunner works best in multiplayer so other players can be meat shields and distractions.
If you're playing solo you need to git gud at quickscoping and using your mines to get around, or use drones to pick off targets between shots. There's no safe way to just sit in one spot and camp (and this is counterproductive to the gameplay loop anyway).

>>1256909

so I played ror2 for around 140 hours during EA and 1.0 launch. I had all the items unlocked and some skins. I bought the void DLC during one of the recent sales and I am so lost. Is there a secret boss? and new stages? what's the gimmick with this DLC?

>>1257860
>Is there a secret boss?
Yes, if you do Void Fields a new portal appears. Or find the frog on the moon.
>and new stages?
Yes, some are in the regular rotation and some are in the portal.
>what's the gimmick with this DLC?
Void stuff. You'll notice clouds of Void smoke appear on regular stages that corrupt everything inside, and you have to kill the Void enemies to clear it. You can find Void items in Void Cradles that corrupt other items (but most are straight upgrades)

>>1257860
>>1257879
Oh, also there's a new Simulacrum gamemode and clearing 50 waves unlocks the other new character (or killing the secret boss).

I'm starting to realize this thread doesn't like risk of rain

risky... rest in peace.

>>1257860
There's a "secret" crab boss, but it's ass to fight outside of unlocking Void Fiend (who is ass to play without the Joker Mode skill mod).
New stages are nice. New enemies are kinda cancer, but if you play with RiskyMod the Infestors/Pests/Voidtouched Elites aren't as bad.
DLC adds void items which corrupt normal items into an alternate version. Most of them are direct upgrades to their normal counterparts, with a few being meme items (Benthic Bloom)

>>1257906
Just host, most people have enough sense to not complain/bring drama in-game.

I wish someone made the void fiend into a better bossfight. I like the idea of an alternate final boss that's a total post-loop DPS check but I hate how his fight consists of mostly 3 attacks, one of them completely undodgeable.

Why did rorr put more effort into the trial maps than the real game?

>>1257879
>>1258606
thank you kind anons. I see the modding scene has grown a lot as well. they have also made big changes to the final boss stage. interesting.

>>1258807
>they have also made big changes to the final boss stage. interesting.
Yeah, people complained for a long time that the moon was just one long hallway with nothing in it. So now it has stations you have to charge kind of like the terminals on the Contact Light before you can go up to the arena. Ironically now people complain that they have to do something and would rather cheese their way up to the arena instead.

>>1258869
>Ironically now people complain that they have to do something
Standing and waiting inside circles is pretty boring by that point. Hopoo ran out of ideas.
I wish the moon looked more risky2 icon and had you exploring the giant crater. A bunch of demolished structures around the crater, maybe floating or falling. Then moonman down in the core trying to rebuild the moon or some shit

>>1258869
Old moon was boring because it was a giant long hallway with nothing in it.
New moon goes beyond boring to being utter ass because it now stalls for even more time than the old moon due to 4min of pillar charging + even longer travel times to get everywhere. Apparently the lore is that the stage was originally meant to just be a normal stage, but got repurposed and artpassed into being moon2 at the last minute.

>>1258875
>>1258881
I won't deny that the pillars are boring. But it's the same kind of thing as the Contact Light terminals where you're just waiting out a timer before you can proceed, so I find it ironic people complain about it. Maybe if there was more stuff to find like the Contact Light it would be more rewarding while you're going around for the pillars. There's the soup island and the pod garden but that's basically it, the Contact Light had the different rooms with more items to grab. More enemy variety would help too.

>>1258883
The big difference with the Contact Light is that if you want to speedrun to the boss, the travel time is way shorter than what it takes to even reach a single pillar on Moon2. Doors take 30s to open and don't force you to stand in a tiny bubble the whole time, and as you mentioned, there's loot and places to explore if you do stick around.
Old moon was bad, but it still is a lot more tolerable than the new moon, and I'm glad that there's mods to bring it back.

>>1258883
in ror1 its never as egregious as in 2, there's never an artificial circle stopping you, if there's something it will be a hangar door that you have to wait to open but otherwise you can move freely around

as others said, by the time you face the pillar circle mechanic you've already seen it many times before (for every teleporter, for every void cell, healing shrines)

>>1259223
I hate Risk of Standing in Fucking Circles.

>>1259223
it would be interesting if the circle mechanic was removed and replaced with something else. Like super enemies on the outskirts of the map. Or a hazard like damage/darkness fog or heavy winds. How about acid rain

circle shit would be bearable if it wasn't on every fucking stage.
give me unique teleporter events. make me seek and destroy random shit across the map or maybe have to collect shit dropped from elites and bring it back to the teleporter.
make it like machine events in DRG damn it. i fucking hate it.

>>1259456
Teleporter circle is fine with mods that expand it after the boss dies.
Extra side objectives would be nice tho, instead of chests and money farming being the only thing to do on each stage.

>>1258881
Honestly I'd rather take old moon over new moon, it being a hallway is barely an issue. Some modder should retexture new moon into being a new stage 5 and then make the old moon the true moon once more.

what if we stood in squares instead

I always thought something similar, maybe something like starting on the moon's surface before going down into a crater via Contact Light wreckage. Would've made sense since the game's goal is to find the ship, so kill two birds with one stone. Solve the mystery of the missing ship and give Mithrix some actual plot relevance since he already wants to GTFO of the moon. As it stands, I don't like either version of the moon and only go there to either see modded character end dialogue or with friends.
>>1258883
I don't know what to say man, I don't like the moon but the Contact Light is my favorite stage in 1. The moon simply doesn't feel like it cohesively fits into 2 the way it is.

But it doesn't count unless you do it on monsoon

>>1261071
I'm still getting the hang of this game, current strat is 4 items then dip ASAP unless I find tritip dagger recycler. (engineer)

>>1261238
Definitely get more items than that, items outscale time scaling by a lot.
1/Returns you need to worry about time, while 2 you don't need to care about the timer as long as you're not spending a retardedly long amount of time on each stage, especially since Scrappers/Printers let you just get a god build every run.

>>1261472
>I was spending 12 minutes per stage prior to current strategy
but thanks for advice, I'll try this out next session

>>1261478
7-8 minutes per stage is probably the upper limit. If you're new try to hit the TP at around 4-5 minutes as a baseline, though as you learn the maps it becomes more of a question of "how efficiently can I buy out the stuff on the map" rather than a strict time limit.

>>1261238
>>1261478
You can comfortably spend 6-8 minutes per stage opening most if not every chest on Rainstorm, definitely don't feel like you have to rush. As the other anon said items snowball and eventually outpace the difficulty scaler, unless you get careless.

Do you guys think a RoR2-like game could still work if the timer based scaling was replaced with the usual level based scaling many other roguelikes have and the game had more of a focus on exploration

I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy or scared for the DLC being made by gearbox. On one hand it would be astronomically funny if its somehow better than anything Hopoo has put out recently. On the other hand it could be the worst thing known to man where the DLC "story" is forced on you or items are powercrept even higher.

>>1261818
So Binding of Isaac, but a TPS focus? It could work, but the barrier of entry (coding wise) is much higher since 3D by itself makes everything more complicated. One of three major components for RoR type of games is always fucked up:
>Enemies being so simple your items don't actually matter that much and even worse they're health sponges
>Very few amount of items that are generic and don't combine to do anything interesting or favorable for the player
>Maps are either exactly the same that it gets boring or the proc gen is so garbage it makes the game unfun

>>1259411
>acid rain
>there would now be a real Risk of (being in the) Rain
think they call that "kino" in the industry

>>1261860
Really wouldn't be too worried about the DLC when everything we've seen so far looks amazing and we know they were responsible for most of the good stuff in SotV, while Hopoo did nothing but fuck things up completely as usual.

>>1261860
I'm starting to realize that gearbox unironically gives more of a fuck about the game than hotpoo ever did. Anything they've shown so far is miles better than anything hotpoo has added in early access. Laughably so, in fact, because it sticks out like a sore thumb.

>>1262086
personally I hate the void bubbles in SOTV. void items are okay. most new enemies suck. the levels are uninspiring. void ending is garbage. the whole DLC is garbage.

>>1262099
Hopoo himself admitted Gearbox would do a better job with it than they ever could

>>1262086
>>1262099
It's just weird that Gearbox is at least showing SOME care, though we don't know how the DLC will end up until it releases. Gearbox didn't even seem to care that much when they made Borderlands 3, one of the main titles they have, and they even stole money to get Borderlands funded in the first place.

It's the equivalent of a parent treating their own child like complete shit, but his nephew like the second coming of Christ.

>>1262533
It's due to leadership mostly. Gearbox has real shitheads leading the big teams but the Risk of Rain team seems to be small and unimportant enough to be left alone in the corner. Like the nerds in a lunchroom.

>>1262533
I think it's because compared to their other big games, this one doesn't require as much effort but will pay off handsomely. I mean, the fact that so many mods can reach hopoo's level of quality despite being made by total amateurs says A LOT. If they don't fuck this up, then ROR will be their cash cow for years.

Hey, so I have a little story to tell...

So I'm playing railgunner on a command run. My goal from the start was to try the blast shower build with gestures, fuel cells, and soulbound catalyst. Once I got that going, the run was smooth sailing.

Later, at the Bazaar, since I had 10 regenerating scraps which I used to buy 2 legendaries every stop at the Bazaar, I had my core legendaries already so at that point I was collecting them for the sake of having them. After mulling over what to get next... I bought a bottled chaos. As you'd expect, pandemonium. The bazaar was on fire. Newt was pissed. So I got kicked out, and so began my lonely struggle of trying to get through stages and try to interact with anything while spontaneously and constantly turning into a meteor and farting out quantum tunnels. I had to end my run soon after to put myself out of my misery.

A record of my hubris,
https://files.catbox.moe/mi9wvc.webm

>>1263895
The co-op is still fucked anyways and they don't wanna admit it. From what I'm told, it's held together just barely. Sideways worms should not be happening though. That shit makes co-op hell when you get worms just killing you offscreen or teleporting between players. Like goddamn if an enemy reports two fucking locations just don't auto correct that shit. Let em be where they are in the case of worms.

>>1264141
you risked the rain, commandlet. well done

>>1264657
>>1265064
No regrets about the run leading up to that fateful mistake though, I wanted to do a blast shower build with railgunner specifically so I could stack bands and get those really visceral one shot one kill moments. And I'm gonna do it again but with no gasoline or wisp and just snipe everything even if it takes forever.

>>1266792
Call me when you find a cracked r2modman
>only works by constantly being connected with steam
>cracked version is hidden on a russian forum

>>1268450
Modding support was confirmed ages ago but the devs for Returns have been practically radio silent ever since they released the aiming shit so who knows what's going on with that. I'm assuming Gearbox is on their ass and won't let them release any big updates until they've got the new 2 DLC is out. Starstorm 1 is still definitely a better experience for now even without all the great QoL, it just has way more content and most of it is way more interesting than the underwhelming stuff we got in Returns.

Newfag here. I was curious, what's the overall situation with the playerbase? Which of the games are being played and discussed or modded? Is Returns dead in the ditch because everyone is a purist playing 2013, or is it the other way around? Or is it just all RoR2 and nobody cares about anything else at this point?

>>1268791
>Is Returns dead in the ditch because everyone is a purist playing 2013, or is it the other way around?
Returns is dead because of lack of mod support. You can't even raise the fucking player cap.

Risky threads have been dead for a long time now so barely anyone actually plays and hosts any of the games at all here, but 2 is the only one the general playerbase cares about nowadays. It's getting free content updates again, a new DLC is coming and the modding community is very active. Returns has no modding support at all and the devs haven't said a thing in months so people stopped giving a shit. We haven't had an OG 1 Starstorm host in a long time so I'm assuming people stopped giving a shit about it entirely too after Returns.

Damn, that's a real shame to hear. I only really like Returns so it's bad news for me.

>>1268594
Just use r2modman to dl the mods and dependencies (because r2api devs are niggers and split it into 20 separate downloadable dependencies), then manually copy the plugins and configs n shit from there to your cracked copy.

Risky 2 is the only game worth having.
Risk Returns is dead at any given time of ANY day of the week.
Even during a prime hour.

When risky returns wasn't dead after the first week it was neigh unplayable online (it kinda works now except worms are still very broken and will kill you offscreen)

It's not dead cause of playercount, it's dead because it's dry despite more content being added. Half the item retuning also made the game unfun. You are now fighting against the bugs online and the shitty balance.

>>1269353
I thought it was dead because it reverted back to 2d

>I thought it was dead because it reverted back to 2d
This is what people don't realize, it's not solely a failure of Hopoo that killed Returns, it's 2D pixel graphics being less appealing than 3D. Even at its launch peak Returns had 15k players while 2's peak is 71k.

>>1269690
Nah, the fucking game is STILL BROKEN

>>1269690
Obviously with it being 2D it was never going to be as popular as 2, that still doesn't mean it was automatically doomed to fail though. That's entirely on Hopoo Games and all the genuinely retarded decisions they've made surrounding the game.
>Game releases, is riddled with glaring balance issues and bugs that should've never made it past QA, game was very clearly not properly playtested.
>They rush out some balance patches that only fix some of these glaring issues, game is still pretty fucked to this day however.
>Risky 2 players bitched and moaned about the controls so devs focus their efforts on a new aiming system for a solid month rather than fixing their game.
>They release the aiming system, go silent for another month before dropping one last patch, and then go completely radio silent from January onwards.
>Still no mod support almost half a year after release, even despite them knowing full well how important it is.
>Absolutely no clear plans for the future of the game, we have no fucking clue if we're even gonna be getting anything more at all.
This game could've done well but the freaks at Hopoo clearly just don't give a fuck, they got paid and that's all that matters.

>>1269721
I am genuinely convinced the people at hoppoop's corner have never actually sat down and tried to play this shit.

Like they hit a wall and just probably cover up the problem. NMS dev handled their shit show 10x better.

>>1269353
I consider Returns a better game compared to 2.

>>1269769
the best game nobody is fucking playing

>>1269774
Normalfags are well known for their shit taste. Risky is a proto Vampire Survivors game, before that subgenre even came into existence. The main reason normalfags play that genre is so they can see number go up and enemies go poof as they're hearing all sorts of neuron-activating bing bing wahoo noises. Risky 2 is braindead and maximizes the bing bing wahoo number go up experience, while Risky 1 and by extension Risky Returns require a semblance of competency in order to progress and beat them, which is the opposite of what the majority of Vampire Survivors enthusiasts desire.

>>1269781
If risky 2 is shit and nobody is playing returns that makes it less than shit though right?

>>1269783

The game is clearly superior for all the reasons >>126978 stated

>>1269783
Not necessarily, it just went back to the niche that drew in the original RoR fanbase. It was destined to be less successful since it's intentionally catering a smaller audience than the newly found mainstream audience.

Don't care because I'm right, faggot.

I find the game to be ok but it truly was plagued with way too many (and still has some annoying shit) that makes playing online pointless.

Way better out of the box than og was but also shit like enemies straight up phantom killing you was unplayable.
Worms still do it.

You have nothing to add so you just lash out. lol
Truth is returns didn't live up to the hype and came out broken. I wouldn't be surprised if it has a high refund rate at the state it launched in.

It was fun for a little bit but it's stale now and you can't even do mods well for it.

this whole conversation is retarded
>muh player count
>risky 2 is shit so returns is even more shit
both are fun for different reasons and for different playerbases. they're different niches.

No, it's true. Even if it was fixed on release it wouldn't ever reach the same popularity as 2. 3D is just more appealing to normalfags. Even my friends who never played 1 immediately jumped at 2 when it came out.

When Sarn implements modding support and Starstorm Returns releases.

Anons tell me, how finished is Starstorm 2?
Is it fun or just content bloat?

>>1270538
>how finished is Starstorm 2?
Unfinished and mismanaged. As I understand it for years they just constantly redid the same models and content and got basically nowhere until the whole thing imploded. Moffein fixed up what they had for the current version of 2, and then some new fags took control of the "official" version and immediately went back to fixing shit that isn't broken. Such as redoing Chirr's model a third time because the fag in charge didn't like that people thought Chirr was cute and "2 is dark and edgy actually," so now she looks nothing like Chirr.

You just copy everything in the profile folder to your Risk of Rain 2 folder, so it looks like Risk of Rain 2/BepInEx
The Risk of Rain 2/Mods folder does nothing.

TLDR BetterUI fag put a SteamID blacklist in his mod a few years back, modding community had a massive meltdown over this. People released mods to remove the blacklist and the BetterUI button out of spite, they all got deleted by Thunderstore admins because of 'muh targeted harassment'. Blacklist eventually got removed, button didn't, drama died down. Now the exact same shit is happening over the slightly annoying button, but the BetterUI fag is now actively updating his mod to break completely whenever it detects the mod is affected by others mods and specifically when the button is removed for any reason.

Starstorm Returns would be nearly impossible to fuck up but modtrannies seemingly always find a way, so you're probably right

>>1272023
Luckily most of the SS2 team have an outright open disdain for Risky1/Starstorm, so at the very least they're out of the picture.

>>1271887
Funniest part of him breaking his own mod is that the only indication that this is an intentional thing that's happening is a single "you broke my bubbon, time to chimp out" line in the console, so the modding discord's tech support channel is gonna be hit by a bunch of "why isn't betterUI working" posts from people who weren't aware.

modding is always doomed to fail because there's no monetary gain, so the only reason they do it is either because they're passionate about the game (10%) or because they are attention hungry faggots (90%). the latter will always start drama once the attention runs dry.
also unrelated, but i'm bored of modfag drama, so let's play a game. tell me a shit item and i'll give you one scenario or situation in which it shines, some modded items included assuming i've played with them.

>>1272677
Spikestrip

>>1272677
Emergency Host Beacon

>>1272677
Fuel Cell after REX has been unlocked
Beads of Fealty
Snake Eyes (especially on sacrifice)
Stone Flux Pauldron

Scrap/recycle/pool fodder doesn't count, that applies to every other item so it doesn't make any aforementioned item "shine"

>>1272729
>spikestrip
i guess it's okay for self harm builds and on rex
>>1272829
>fuel cell
good with engineer turrets as they will also kamikaze upon getting to low health, just don't dip below 50% yourself lol
>beads of fealty
harmless lunars to invest into and then dump all of them into a cleansing pool later for easy pearls
>snake eyes
well with my luck it's guaranteed crits
>stone flux pauldron
when you're late in a run and tapping W once teleports you halfway across the map, this lets you lower your speed to manageable levels

>>1272868
>>1272829
and i do realize that beads goes against what you said but it's an item that has literally one use case, there isn't anything i can come up for it
