Earth Defense Force is a third-person shooter game where you defend earth from every single shit the alien invaders throw at youhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2291060/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_6/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1007040/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_5/https://store.steampowered.com/app/410320/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_41_The_Shadow_of_New_Despair/>how to play togetherfor 5 and 6 game has a lobby system where you can lock the room with a password or set it to room name only. This is great as we had games with multiple rooms named /v/df and any anons could join by searching for that room name while keeping out the pubbies.so if you want to play with other anons simply make your room, state your room name, starting with which mission and what difficulty. For example:/v/dfM15Hard
>>1408073
>>1408073Sorry bud, no generals on /vm/.
/v/dfM8Hardget in here, we killin bugs
Is there any wiki to reference missions/weapons?
>>1409082https://w.atwiki.jp/edf6/the japanese one is pretty thorough, needs to translate to eng tho
So how goes the grind guys?
>>1410576much better now with the autoloot mod
>new dlc came out>no updates or fixes
EN/JP weapon list site got updated, if anyone might find it useful.https://invadersfromplanet.space/>>1414342Either the devs responsible for the PC port are taking their sweet time in radio silence, or flaked out.
>>1410576Finished all the Hardest runs on main campaign. Now moving on to Inferno, starting with Fencer.>>1413260The autoloot mod was making my party hang when loading missions online, so I was forced to keep it disabled there.
Anyone have that image of a message to all aliens? >>1414342I was praying for them to fix the EGS shit so my friends would play
>>1416931same
>Yes we do!What a line, professor is an absolute chad.What way should I grind the game now I've done the story? Do a whole run of every mission in order as a different class? Or go through each mission with every class before moving onto the next?
>>1417354i usually join people's games and do them as classes i haven't done
>A Depth Crawler camera fix mod exists.Fucking finally, the damn thing is now usable when crawling anywhere but on the floor. https://www.nexusmods.com/earthdefenseforce6/mods/79Now we need a mod to fix the helicopters' dogshit control or at very least a button to make them go lower without having to wait a million years to do so.
Should I buy World Brothers 2? Does it improve upon the first?
Hosting an Inferno lobby if anyone wants to join. /v/df, password is the usual
Why does EDF6 stutter for me when an Air Raider summons/enters a vehicle, or even shoots within some of them?
>>1421285ayyymd?
>>1422889Nope, i7-8700 + GTX 1080.Granted I am overdue for something new, but for all the myriad of weird AMD issues I keep hearing about, Intel seems to have screwed the pooch.
>Fencer pulling: Queens, Mothers, Kings, Bees, Tadpoles (three kinds), Spiders, Ants>Back to 3 Rangers (MLRA-TF)??????????????????????????????What kind of tardnation is this? Shouldn't the Fencer be kiting instead of luring the enemies back to the Ranger nest?
>>1425486>3 rangers with MLRA-TFthere's your problem
>>1425486Fencer should kill all of them by himself, but not kings though that's shit spider squirts are annoying
Isn't there some patch to fix the stupid cephalopods tanking the FPS? It's starting to get really annoying to deal with that crap.>>1426339Are you serious? Fencer can easily wreck kings. Powerblade+Spine dual trigger kills them off pretty fast or if you prefer a safer approach you can use explosives to easily knock them down (even force blades will do) while going for the kill. OR just stunlock them with dual gats.
>>1426851Solo king is easy, but kings and spider hordes will kill you faster than you dash, plus that squirt from kings literally obscuring your vision
So what the hell is going on with EDF 5? I can't join my friend and they can't join me with online lobbies, any of you guys also getting this as well?
>>1428901steam maintenance happens every chewsdays
>>1428980It's been happening since Sunday, so it isn't the maintenance at all.
Air Raider weapons for the Ring Cracker Part 1?The ships open and close their hatch so fucking quickIn hindsight I should have dealt with the big anchors first but whatever, fuck this shit, just a solyanka of the most cancerous enemies in the game thrown in a vat
>>1430380Sniper drone, long range and powerful ezpz
>>1428901Either you or your friend is likely to have some sort of mod interfering with lobbies. EDF's online wasn't really designed with mods in mind, I suppose.>>1430380Rapid strafe drones are OP vs large pylons/jellyfish ships, just put the blue pyramid just down the shiny target. Sniper drones/minigun to take out the bigger threats (absolutely take down the machine gun androids asap or they'll rape the bargas). Then whatever of choice to deal with diggers and anything else.
Funny thing is Air raider is absolute beast against kraken on any difficulty, sniper drone, shock drone, and miniguns will rape kraken easily
>>1432892>sniper drone, shock drone, and miniguns will rape kraken easilyFor me, it's the GIGANCopter>You die 1 minutes from now, you filthy squid
>>1432892Spritefall-san absolutely makes them her bitches (assuming you time it right and don't dash away in the first place), but the two missions when you can't use it shotgun and sniper drones absolutely wreck them.>>1427872Again, usage of explosives is ideal in that scenario, kings aren't some mean motherfuckers when they're flailing in the air like buffoons. That and twin gatlings while you dance far away from the, it's not like you have to stay on their dumb faces all the time.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2370170/EARTH_DEFENSE_FORCE_WORLD_BROTHERS_2/World Brothers 2 has a steam page now.I don't know what took them so long. Good thing I held off on preordering it on PS5.
>>1436757WB is such a weird spin offsometimes I really like their voice acting and writing, but sometimes I also fucking hate it
>>1436323>don't dash away in the first placeok how do you prevent them from dashing away?
>>1437049it's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek humour but then they went ahead and gobbled the entire cock in their mouth
>>1437051You don't, you either catch them off guard with the laser pointer, use them when they start firing or simply time it right after they dash and don't use the Maximum version because it takes 5 years to start firing and it's area of attack is tiny compared to others. If it lands nicely, theyll get horribly mangled for the minigun or something else to finish them off, if they don't die right away in the first place.
The epic removal is currently on work by devs
>>1437981It only seems like that.
When's the next EDF game? I'm stoked to see what new shit they are bringing. A new, even more autistic chat command system would be amazing.Also, World Brothers can have detailed minimap radar, it's way overdue for the mainline to have that feature as wellBring back EDF1/2 3D radar, perhaps?
>>1440492I'm curious as to whether the next mainline EDF whether it has numbers or not will see a glow up to go along with a new continuity. EDF 4.1 was a big step up especially from 3.
how can they even hope to top the kino in edf6?
>>1441277setting up for even more batshit insane stuff in 11people said 5 wasn't as kino as 4.1, but little did they know, Sandlot was multiple timelines ahead of them.
>>1440492>A new, even more autistic chat command system would be amazing.I would rather have a proper command system to control the retarded lackeys better and not have grim reapers dive bombing into grenadiers for the 518924871th time.>Also, World Brothers can have detailed minimap radar, it's way overdue for the mainline to have that feature as wellThat is a nice addition, having a toggleable full detailed map with all enemy positions would be even better, even more so if you could call air raids through it like pic related.
>>14410354.1 was an hd remaster on the ps4, 5 and 6 were made for the ps4, 7 will be the first mainline game actually built for hardware made after 2014
On PC, it seems like looking/aiming downwards in particular is important for wallclipping into the bunker. Obvious spoilers for EDF6.
>>1443560Many glitchs were "patched" in PC version
>>1443605Is it true that bikes were better to control on console and they're back to being highly unreliable on PC?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHyhnY8dH8s>seth makes a video on edf6if only they removed the epic shit then we might actually get a big 2nd wave of new players
>>1444519They gonna remove epic mandatory sign in, trust the plan! 2 more weeks!
Just finished DLC 2 now i can share some of my experience farming inferno weapon here, do mind i did this mostly as fencerMandatory weapon : Flashing spear MW6 from DLC 1 because it's damage and ROF basically it's stupid strongMission 3Pretty easy to do as fencer, dash+jump and rain your flashing spear to the anchor. The anchor here is like static turret and won't spawn enemy so it's pretty easy. doable with most class i thinkMission 5 and 6Versus upgraded Krull, startegy is basically the same as in main mission, quick and easy to do with most class i thinkMission 10Very nasty androids here so mandatory equipment here is Perfect reflector + Barricade system X, while JP wiki suggest to use 1 melee + reflector you can use reflector on both hands since when 1 reflector on reload the second reflector have enough ammo to cover the loading time. Mission 11If mission 10 seems to hard you'll better farm here, pretty easy and with flashing spear basically you spent around 10 ammo per big androids, dash+jump and rain the spear on it's head, ezpzMission 14Same with mission 3 with slight variety of anchor but still the turret type so go fast and rain them. WD can pull this but with some hiding around buildings since WD cannot outrun the laser once it's locked on and you need to manage you energy wellMission 15Upgraded Kraken, they got armor BUT minus the shield, also they love to fly low here so rain you spear and you'll kill them in 2 sec top. Their attacks may crash your game if you have problem with particles on screenCont.
>>1444772Mission 19Haze and lots of pink haze, basically find good place to hunker down and kite them, spear them or use power sword to slice them, their attack can sometimes slip to your hiding place so keep you HP in check, the kraken will appear after first wave is cleared so spear them as usualMission 25Krull and Kraken, match made in heaven. Speed is mandatory here since krull laser can kill you very quick BUT that spear will kill them fast. I prioritize killing the krull first since they more likely kill you than the kraken (in my experience)Mission 26For this i recommend using WD for 1 simple reason, Plasma great cannon. The stage is about enemy falling down and you have to kill them, the stage is surrounded by allies so you only to worry about yourself. The trick part is fire you plasma cannon when the enemy dropped SLIGHTLY on the bridge above you (fire at the bridge) and it will wipe them fast. The trick is when the Queen dropped down, you GO UPSTAIRS to kill the queen using your phalanx. Stay up there because anchor will dropped down and spawn nasty white spiders BUT you got phalanx and shoot them from upstairs, EZPZMission 37This is for farming highest level weapon. Like in jpwiki, use reflector on both hands BUT i add Barricade system X instead increasing the shield ammo because more damage to reflect and bring the missile launcher to wipe ants. The MAIN problem here for fencer is finding someplace for you to hunker without exposing your back. Keep firing the reflector until all enemy dead though the queens will take some time to kill with reflectors.Also if your game crashed because of particles i think sorry to say that you won't get passed last mission because of insane of particles fired by enemies and it will cover your whole screen with enemy attacks, beware of this
>>1444772>Mission 3 and 14>Not just getting Gale+Tiger exos and literally just run circles (not literally) around the pylons with dual dexters.It's utterly unfair Fencer gets to run and gun on a completely different level Ranger does while he hardly gets any giga assist gear to survive all that shit malice throws at (you).
>>1445310Well it's not as fast as dash+boost and flashing spear, ranger can use leopard if you can let the missile slip and aim it up
For EDF 6, does DLC 1 and 2 have voiced lines like in the campaign?The steam pages are unclear and I don’t want to spoil the enemy encounters by looking them up myself
>>1445602I've only played through DLC1, but yes. Unlike EDF5 there's some actual overarching story between them than just being 'master levels' notable for overpowered gear. Though plenty of the DLC weapons are direct copies of EDF5 ones with no regard in adjusting their damage to the power creep of those prior.
>>1445690Also on top of that, they introduce more enemy subspecies who aren't explicit elite equivalents, who end up becoming what you primarily fight. More work than just those armored colonists from EDF5's DLC (that became a regular enemy in 6), but they'll be annoying for their own reasons.
>>1445692Naked alien go fast lol
someone please post that gif with the player being chased by a naked ayy
>>1445570Maybe it's not as momentarily fast, but you can kite with it forever, ESPECIALLY the giga nigga bees (as long as there's no large obstacles in the way) and lets you pick any dual trigger weapons you'd like (except flame revolvers because gigantic recoil lol), rather than being forced to stick with a dash+jump combo for mobility. And if tiger exo isn't OP already there's an even more powerful upgrade of it with 100% immobility and knockback reductions..>RangerOn both missions he can cheese it with a tank as cover buster shot to 1shot the pylons and reverser to repair the tank inbetween them. Air raider has it even easier using a similar strategy, but using barriers on a grape instead to block off the lasers. Wing diver would only need a jet core and a dragoon/monster lance for constant hit-and-runs.>>1445602Yeah, sandlot actually bothered to put voicelines in both dlcs, though dlc2 feels kind of half assed in that regard.
>EDF5 now on sale for 12 yurosgrab your buddies, make edf great again
Will I get banned if I use cheat engine on this? I just want the weapons and shit man. I don't plan to play online if I decide to go through with this though
>>1446841Nah, there's no anticheat at all.
>>1446960Good to know, time to get all the weapons or whatever instead of playing this game COMPLETELY 16 TIMES. I like EDF but not that much.
>>1447002exactly, why play EDF 16 times when you can go play a game with 16 TIMES the detail?
>>1447002More like 12. Hard also accounts for both Easy/Normal marks as well. Depending on how much you can stomach splitscreen, you can even reduce it to 6.
>>1447002>16 TIMESI wonder who could have told you this incorrect information
what the fuck
>>1447129It's pretty clear that Sseth is not that invested into EDF despite making two videos.
>>1448385that is the problem with most jewtubers and streamers nowadaysDo you have that frustration when something important happens in-game and the streamer doesn't even notice it because he is too busy talking about the meal he had 5 days prior with his stream buddy? Or when a mind-blowing revelation happens but the streamer doesn't even realize it because he looks at the chat window every 1 femtosecond?This is why I don't voice chat even if I play EDF with friends. The voice commands are more than enough.Also sseth killed the Primer as AR with 3000HP, which is the online limit for HARD, and he probably went no further.
>>1448448Believe I've seen at least 1-2 clips of that happening with a streamer's facecam making it clear they're not paying attention. Sseth can do a decent job talking about games - very autistic ones even, but this generally happens with those he resonates with and clearly understands. Otherwise he'll just pad it with comedic synopsis and wouldn't have overlooked things like Fencer's changes even if they're not the most exciting. Then again, going off his EDF5 vid he didn't know how to actually play the class.
I'm getting dangerously attached to these moving voxels in WB1
>Dangerous Gamble>Ranger dude just calls down a Railgun and fucks off to a corner of the map>In a mission that spawns gazillions flyers and androids>Doesn't know to prioritize any Shield AnchorsI hate this shitThe only reason we succeeded was because an AR with two functioning braincells decided to join and Spritefall most of the HazeAlso I fucking hate Haze. I FUCKING HATE THEM. I HATE THEM. HATE. HATE. HATE.
>>1452381That's why (you) play with /v/ros rather than random guys
>>1448732I can't really blame you for that.
>First Hector mission in WB1>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CInGpix6VMHoly god damn soul, I didn't expect this caliber from a spin-off
>loading times are overall faster when playing online than offline
>>1456572limit fps to 60 using whatever shit you have, it'll boost the loading time
EGS account officially no longer required.https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2291060/view/4674264042200462234
Do I need to play with auto pickup and increased drop rate?It kinda feels like cheating, but I can't imagine what the grind woild be without it.
>>1456676I will now buy your game
>>1456676Can I uninstall eos?
>>1456705Picking up items especially favors the presence of faster classes or vehicles where applicable, or using a radius-increasing item for Ranger in a killbox farming strategy. While any QoL mods are technically cheating, an autoloot mod to skip this part exclusively does however save you a lot of time, that could be used to farm or get marks faster, or play other vidya. Conversely, it does enable some ridiculously cheesy things like being able to go completely AFK on #97 and still reap rewards. Lootmaster in particular also deprives you of being able to dick around in the closing of a mission, because it creates a second character with shitty gear and over 9000 pickup radius.The presence of autoloot may also change how people might play the mission. Draw your own conclusions and pick whatever helps you sleep at night.
Currently game cannot launch due to modloader? Yesterday was fine, so that's weird shit
Does every Blazer iteration have a low spawn weight or something? Weapon databases say otherwise, but it took going through Hard on multiple classes to even get the Lv20 one (granted, there are also a lot of weapons in this bracket and it competes with the adjacent Minion Buster), and upgrading the Omega and EXA Blazers is seemingly far more trouble than I've had with most other weapons.
>>1457518>Does every Blazer iteration have a low spawn weight or something?It's probably random. I got 5 EXA Blazer on my first Inferno run in Unchanging Days II, and also 3+Spine Driver MA, but it took a really long time to get the Spine Driver to 6
>>1457518Total random, better use CE if you want non hassle and for CE get this one https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?t=30400 instead other chink CE table
>>1457518The highest non-dlc blazer is lv95, which only drops at the very last few missions on inferno (or 99% of the time at the last dlc2 mission on hardest lol).
>>1456948lol no
>>1456676Steamfix patch when?I really want to (And able to) buy it but the price just makes me have an aneurysm
Am I missing out on anything important by jumping straight into inferno in World Brothers 2?
we're slowly getting there brothers
So how does this armor bonus thing works? Does it depend on the maximum armor of your team? Depends on the mission number? Difficulty?I noticed a definite increase in bonus when I equipped the Fencer with 3k6+ armor
>>1458923characters with more base health has more growth
You know, this might be the first time that "meow meow" doesn't immediately put a cringe on my face. Props to whoever voiced WB's characters, they are all decent.
So I beat EDF:WB Hardest final boss with just Level 2 weapons, got a bunch of Level 3 weapons and Accessories from farming Time of Desperation. Anything else to look out for, or is that pretty much the game? Can I move onto WB2 now? Will I miss anything if I skip WB's DLC Missions?
>>1462944You didn't beat the game until you beat Inferno.
