It's the weekend so let's have a nice and comfy thread about rock and stone, brothers
>>733515851after playing some more i'll say that i enjoy the new mission type and the new biome.i think scrabs are annoying tho, they soak too much ammo for what is supposed to be a tankier jelly, especially when i am scout and i don't have cryo nades.also i wish industrial sabotage skipped the caretaker and it was just about hacking the power stations, that part is fun.and since i'm here, remove hiveguard, corruptor and korlok.
>>733515851game is dead, it was kind of a neat idea but just gets boring.
>>733516532eh, i'm still playing hundreds of hours after unlocking literally everything
>>733516405Hiveguard just needs one less phase, or to only need two breaks for a kill.It's easily the most obnoxious damage sponge in the game, and god help you if you get a final stage point extraction/hive guard on EDD
>>733516405>It's another episode of a random Korlok Seed and your Engineer doesn't make a roof over Doretta during a gas break
>>733515851>>733516405loving the new season, feels like the guys they got to work on it really care and I hope they possibly get to make another seasonscrabs are quite annoying though but mostly fine if theres only 1-3 because you can pickaxe them down quicklyFUCK korloks
>>733516575>HiveguardWaiting around for the Sentinels to spawn sometimes is so time consuming, there should still be a way to damage his bug ass when it has full armor on.
>>733516854remove hiveguard and add sentinels to the swarms, just increase the puddles they leave behind so they can act as hazards to impede the dwarfs>>733516735i think it was fine. onoy disappointme t is no new oc nor balance changes. perk rework is not in he card either.a good suggestion i've read was to let people buy matrix cores with perk points after unlocking all perks.
>>733516532Skill issue
i haven't even tried the new season
>>733516735isn't this the last season entirely before switching entirely to develop rogue core?
>>733518879Season 6 was developed by a new team since they keep delaying Rogue Core (it sucks.) They said they are waiting for feedback before deciding on doing more seasons or not. Rogue Core says release Q2 and they expect 18-24 months of early access. They're already delayed it twice I don't understand what's wrong with them. I think they will contract out more seasons to tide people over. Not that people are looking forward to RC.
Played for the first time in years just to get the horse head lol
the new season is shit, almost no content we didn't even get a weapon/oc balance patch, fuck
Ossuary Depths is easily my favourite biome nowIt's even better than Glacial Strata with gigantic caves generated
I hate drillers or diggers as I like to call them
>>733519657yeah its definitely up there as one of the best biomes>>733519692for me its the fucking level 1 scout that always has to show up to replace my bosco and be useless when the cave generation is already fucking me over
>YOUR MOVE, BUG.
>>733515851I just picked the game back up after like 2-3 years of not playing it. Which of the "new" overclocks should I be looking out for first, and also did they do any balance changes over the last couple years that would've messed up my builds? I noticed the Subata has 2 round burst fire now. Feels gross. It was one of my favorites before but I might have to switch to the automatic overclock.Also do people actually play the new hazard 5+ thing?
>>733520007>MINED OR ALIVE, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME
>>733519201>They said they are waiting for feedback before deciding on doing more seasons or not.I checked the charts and Season 6 peaked at around 40k on release day, it didn't beat the release of S5 (which was also the highest peak ever) but I'd say that it's still great player retention, really like you said don't know what they're waiting for anymore unless they are of course covering their asses for RC which barely anybody cares about.
did any of you even play or let alone ask for that weird top down game that got made
>>733520685I did ask for it, yes. As a funny prank.
>>733520685>>733520785We asked it wrong as a joke.
>>733520685Higher all-time peak than the maingame, so some did
>>733519692drillers rock
>>733520852so I guess since a few thousand caught aids on a toilet seat I should too huh
>>733519657Ossuary can gen some insane caves. I had a 400 morkite mission where one chamber was the size of an entire refinery cave.
>>733520852Yeah but the actual Steam release was at not even half of it.
>>733520365Its been so long I forget what the last batch of OCs were. They should all be pretty good, though.>haz 6+More bugs is fun. Aggressive bugs might be fun if you find normal bugs too slow. The other two are a meme.
>>733521017That happens in Dense Biozone quite often.
>>733521085personally I am too shit at the game
>>733520365They haven't massively nerfed any OCs, so it's unlikely your builds are affected. A few have been reworked, such as the Clean manual cutoff missile launcher OC got replaced with more fun Rocket Barrage. The last time we got any new OC's was during the launch of Season 5. Schorching tide for flamethrower is my personal favourite from that bunch, there's also a pretty good thermal themed OC for the Scout's plasma gun.
>>733521313>pretty good thermal themed OC for the Scout's plasma gun.you mean the shield overcharged one? I fucking love that one even though I think it kinda sucks
Some of you guys are cool. Don't come to the mining rig tomorrow.
>>733521394I find the turbocharged shield hilarious, but still prefer thermal builds.
>>733521598>when you spawn in the Epstein-biome
What does the company do with all the alien eggs
>>733521758>Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated workers, glyphid omelettes are now available in the mess hall.
>>733521758https://youtu.be/2NxtDGxBYsU?si=ei3crbr_UuUfWvKo
>>733518879I heard this season was outsourced to some other team, if they're smart that team will keep updating DRG while they work (infinitely delay) on Roguecord
>>733522302They can't add more weapons to DRG thoughbeit
>>733522658Why not?
>>733522705Because they would have to simultaneously add a weapon for each class, develop like 8 overclocks for each one, and all the cosmetic frameworks. That's why development on DRG originally stopped.
>>733522785>Because they would have to simultaneously add a weapon for each classWhy? Just make one or two at a time. I'd rather have a weapon every 2 seasons with overclocks the next than never
>>733522785Frameworks and OCs can come later, I've always thought that it was weird that there was no promotion weapon for each class.
>>733522903It's still a shitload of work just to add a weapon, the systems they set up work against them.
Comfiest region for me, love adventuring through the tunnels with the vines where you can't see shit
>>733521758don't worry about it
>>733522968>add a single weapon for one class>don't add any cosmetic skins for it>make 2 fun (red) overclocks for it and shitty 4 generic ones (green and yellow)There, solved
>>733523079I want my company-mandated big ass alien omlette
>>733522968They could release 1 weapon with 3 overclocks and zero cosmetic options and I'd say "wow cool new weapon" instead of "oh, I hope these new enemies don't make the game worse again".
>>733523054>I HECKING LOOVE SEWER LEVELS!
>>733523154Yes.
>>733523120Sorry, but those are limited to Silver-class Executives and up.
Get the memo, Ghost Ship Games.
>>733523409Maybe more people would be interested in rogue core if they FUCKING GAVE OUT INVITES!
>>733523442Closed alpha product, prease understando...
Does anybody genuinely like the Matrix Core beards or do people just wear them as a sign of superiority towards their fellow poor dwarves?
sex with female dwarves
>>733523782HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA
W-what happens now
>>733523782yuck
>>733523782I think its going to be genuinely funny when they get modded to be hot.
>>733524024Grats, you passed the tutorial.
>>733524024You can finally play the game
>>733524046That's 10/10 on Hoxxes(Hotsex)
>>733523773The regular beards you unlock through cores? Nobody's going to use those to try and impress people.
>>733523782sexooooooooooo
>>733524176I can't honestly tell which beard I got from where.
>>733520685Survivor? Yea I like it, its a lot harder than the other VS type games, can't just steamroll.
where's drg 2?
The 4 Resinite Mass Heavy Extractions are way too long. Legitimately longer than even Industrial Sabotage or Escort Duty with not much happening in the cavesIf nothing else, these missions should have a very high event chance. It's way too much walking
>>733525220if I'm not hunting eggs I'm not going
How do I be a better Driller? I usually play Engi and I really love having an excellent Driller on my team, it unironically seems like the biggest brain class when the guy playing one knows what hes doing.
>>733525737>How do I be a better Driller?Press TAB and ping where you start drilling.
>>733525737Ramps everywhere is the biggest one. If your team has to drop into the seventh ring of hell to enter a cave make some fucking stairs for them. If your team is starting to get cornered dig an escape route. There's lots of niche tech and strats for driller but it's difficult to cover all of them in one post. Mainly driller's job is to keep trash at bay, anything grunt sized or smaller is your job and all his weapons excel at killing them.
Post your favorite paintjobs
>>733525737Next time you're in a drillerless mission, really think about all the shit that would be so much easier if you had one.That said, my driller advice would be to make defensive ramps whenever you can. Fuck bunkers, just remove line of sight obstacles and create a smooth firing line for your team. It can't be overstated just how much this helps hold the line segments, since not only does it prevent being blindsided, but has the hidden benefit of meaning nobody gets bored by one person hoovering the kills.
>>733525737Focus on area denial and trust your DoT to finish off threats. Use your drills to reach shit quickly that teammates can't and to make shortcuts. Use your drills and C4 offensively. Don't waste C4 to dig out one egg or vein of Nitra that you can just get in 3 seconds with a pick. Take the stun upgrade on C4 and use it in emergencies or to revive teammates in a swarm. It's a really long stun in a much bigger AoE than the damage. Sprint forward a step then jump to throw it farther and then take a wait a moment and blow it up.Drills have high fire rate and high stun+fear chance. You can 100% safely jump at a praetorian and drill into its face and it will always get stunned then run away before it can attack. Damage upgrade on drills+vampire is really good with the Cryocannon. It's not rare to heal half your healthbar in a few seconds against frozen enemies this way but the fear+stun is their real strength in combat. Seriously, drills are extremely potent when used as a weapon. You don't need the upgrade to cool them down when dealing damage.Also remove any obstacles that you can do quickly to make sure teammates don't get stuck on that one branch or rock pillar in the middle of a safe area. Having a safe space to fight in makes everything so much smoother. But don't spend minutes landscaping, time spent is ammo+HP lost+chances for the game to screw you over with bad RNG.
>>733527252Drills also have a very high armor break chance. You can strip armor off praets as you stun them.
rate my digger
>>733527340True, but it doesn't matter much because the stun isn't terribly long and fear waits for the stun to wear off so they'll expose their backs once it does. Also the way fear works with slows means that they're feared for pretty long and if needed you can just drill them again to take them out of the fight again.
>>733526115Scratched Metal
>>733527674>but it doesn't matter muchIt can help your teammates who may not have a good angle on it. I appreciate when a driller strips armor for me as gunner so I can get easy VB shots in.
>>733525737A good driller knows how to use all of his tools and juggles between them constantly. Most other classes can afford tunnel vision, ironically not drillers.
>>733527775That's true. But also it just kind of happens on accident anyway because of how high the armor break on drills is.
>>733526115I always try to match my look to my build's theme instead of trying to look good. My electric scout build? High tech goggles and shit. My fire builds? Obnoxious bright red and orange. Straight damage builds? More military or brutal looks. Importantly you've gotta keep the facial hair looking goofy while still matching the look.
i just have random shit on i think i'm wearing a hot dog hat or something
fun fact: you can get c4 to float in the air by throwing an axe at it.
>>733525832>>733526031>>733526974>>733527252>>733527821Thanks very much for all the advice. I've really enjoyed multi-classing to Scunt and Gunner and wasn't quite grasping my role as Driller. I'm gonna dig a big hole.
>>733527491Looks like a real digga
>>733527491>WHAT AIN'T NO CAVE I EVER HEARD OF>DO THEY MINE MORKITE IN WHAT?
>>733527491100% Digger
>>733515851This was the most ball breaking thing to get into with unperked no overclocks engineer but once I got that shotgun upgraded and clocked call me McDonald's 'cause I'm fucking lovin' it.
