The HP management is not the struggle
It's the mobility they're struggling with.
He's RoR2 Acrid. He's slow and needs time to get used to.
I still think he's a bit too item dependent though.

Try thinking about how Rex and the crown work first, Einstein.

hes strong but it's so easy to get stuck and fucked because you're slow and it's difficult to get the right momentum with the push cannon.

how many minutes in do you guys quit a godly run?
im at 138 mins stage 27

>First run as REX
>Get a single backup mag, a medkit, a tougher times and some gasoline
>Absolutely fucking annihilate the new groverkeeper boss in ten seconds
>Fucking obliterate beetle guards and stone golems in less than four
There's no way hoopo intended this m1m2m1 with a SINGLE backup mag attack canceling gimmick and I fully expect it to be bugfixed within a month

I never picked up the crown before so I didnt know what it did

>It's the mobility they're struggling with.
Maybe it's my TF2 experience talking here, but his Shift is fine in my book. He's not as mobile as Merc or Huntress and it's not as simple to use as Commando or Mul-T, but I'm loving the manual control for it.

He's super item reliant, but when everything comes together, his synergies become insane. However, this ends up making him a poor choice in multiplayer since he's so item hungry. He needs mobility, all the good AoE damage items, Syringes and Glasses, and even healing to offset the health loss from using his skills. It's not too hard to build up one aspect of him, but getting a full kit isn't really feasible without very good luck and printers.

When it does all come together, his R basically becomes a proc nuke, his M1 becomes Commando's, and his M2 when finally spammable will outright obliterate anything. Still, having it all on everybody else also results in a God.

Do goodly runs actually keep giving items now?

It at least carries the early levels but I'm skeptical how much that gimmick works when you're in the later stages
Then again, if you get a train of mobs following you and just plop down a root flower it would probably just be more of the same

Brilliant work user.

What does backup mag even do for him? Isn't his m2 already a 1 sec cooldown?

The drop from the Grovekeeper is fucking tits. If you have a run build you WILL rape everything.

Yes, thats the point
A single backup mag means his m2 effectively doesn't have a cooldown at all because by the time your second one is released the first has recharged
Your m1 attack cooldown resets when you use your m2 as well, and the m2 is instantaneous
So m1m2m1 means you can attack cancel your m1 into an instant m2 into an instant m1 into an instant m2 into an instant m1 into an instant m2
You're firing both abilities faster than if you had just fired one with 15 syringes, and the m2 does fucking huge damage
The only drawback is the self damage, which with even a few basic whites can be easily mitigated, especially if you just root three enemies in your bog pit
I killed a dunestrider with only 34% into the teleporter event on stage two, its fucking absurd single target damage because the m1 also reduces armor
Its nutty

c-car?

Because not everyone is reliant to the same degree, dingus. Engie can wreck house with barely any items, and Artificer/Huntress can handle themselves decently thanks to their decently high base damage. On the other hand, survivors like Merc and Rex are fucking DUMPSTER tier without loads of items but become strong as fuck with them.

If you beat him before any beacons require a second payment, he deems you worthy to fight by his side in future boss battles

How's the new Frost Relic lategame? I haven't seen it yet.

So, digging through the files, while Bandit didn't get updated, HAND did. Instead of useless laser, HAND shoots out a meathook with odd properties. It hones in on enemies, though said enemy could be any of them on the map. He generally lacks sounds, and he also has some sort of self-buff. Playing as him gives me a really tanky feel despite how much shit is raining on me, so I think Shift either increases healing or gives damage resistance.

does ramming into enemies hurt them?

so the first hint was a tree that ended up in a forest kind of level, what could the feather be? a flying/bird character?
I hope the shell is a water level, now that would be fuckin nice

i was really hoping risk of rain 2 would go on sale. i know its still early access but still

Do the new chests only give you white items or something?
I keep opening healing chests thinking I'll get something nice like scythe or leeching seeds and all I get are fungi and medikits.

Why won't they allow Transcendence to be good on even ONE character? It would have been nice for it to work on rex.

They should've given it a 10% base chance if they were going to nerf the damage so hard, or just reduce the amount of damage gained per stack. Completely taking out the damage stacking and lowering the base damage is fucking dumb and makes it pretty useless.

Oh, so there's no more additive damage in the game then? Like, bigger individual numbers?

What the FUCK is going on?

Attached: Brittle Crown.png (1920x1080, 1.16M)

I'm a brainlet, what is the difference between the old percentage values and "total damage" values?

Providence from an alternate timeline is taunting you

Providence's older bro is gonna come visit

Dying planets with species, so Providence said "I'm going to save them all and put them on this one planet, nothing can go wrong! Btw, you're not allowed to leave either"
>Spaceship delivery service with items which is where are survivors are passes by, it also apparently has one of the planet teleporters in it.
"Fuck, my 'children' will escape, I gotta fix this"
>RoR1 happens

That's basically what I got from this entry.

According to the patch notes, the old percentage values used some kind of overly complicated calculation to decide how much damage the items did, and the new "total damage" one just takes a percentage of whatever damage you deal.
So if you deal 10 damage and proc Ukelele, the lightning will deal 8 damage. Not sure what the old calculation was.

rex is ok

Hmm, I think I see. I guess what confuses me are things like Commando's double tap doing 2x90%, and then the Uke does 80% of that? Like what the fuck is the ACTUAL number?

How do ya get Rex

That's the discord mod. Get it on their mod site.

Small time. This one is what I'm most looking forward to an explanation.

Attached: Transcendence.png (1126x670, 557K)

take back panel off of escape pod
take it to lava zone and give it to rex at top of the level
if you get below 50% hp the thing blows up and kills you good luck

it's not too hard to understand user
>I hope you (the survivor) do not understand (that you're in a game)

Feels like a "videogame character is self-aware" trope. Like, some character realizes that he's only an idea and has to be in a videogame in order to continue existing.

Not 100% true, it deals damage to you, but you can survive if you have crazy healing/shield/etc. I accidentally blew one up and survived because of my items.

They aded more music to the game :D

I got a scyte from them so i guess the chance is the same as normal common chests

Each shot of double tap does 90% of what one shot from suppressive fire would do, since suppressive does 100%, or base damage.
So if base damage is 10, double tap does two 9 damage shots and ukelele does 7 damage.
It's honestly not worth thinking about unless you intend on speedrunning or something, just click on the aliens and let the math happen. It would be pretty nice if there was a UI element that clearly showed you what your base damage was though.

Fuck. Thanks for your helping me understand anyway, user.

>1 new enemy
that fucking sucks

new boss and new gunner guy, as well as a new type of elite enemies. its only the first update in a series of many.

In terms of the expected value:
Lens: 10% damage per lens, great synergies with scythe and predatory instincts
Old stickies: ~125% damage per sticky when you hit 39 stickies, technically a little worse due to proc coefficients on a number of attacks
Nu stickies: ~4% damage per sticky, same cons as above

In short nu stickies have been nerfed like crazy to the point being able to trade in 25 stickies for 10 lens would be an extremely good deal if you didn't have any crit. They are useless now and you're better off building syringe, or topax and rely on greens to do damage.

and new elite variant those toxic mofos.

The idea is nice, but it feels like just another chaingun variant we've seen since Doom. I'd rather they brought back regular clay melee men who are more agile than lemurians or beetles. tl;dr I don't like these chain clay dudes they're too derivative.

Drink the Tonic, gaining a boost for 15 seconds. Increases damage by +100%. Increases attack speed by +70%. Increases armor by +20. Increases maximum health by +50%. Increases passive health regeneration by +300%. Increases movespeed by +30%.

just don't let it wear off, GotD will take care of that

I can't believe I'm saying this, but nu-arti with feathers is fun

Not having to tank fall damage feels pretty good. The hover is surprisingly great at dodging stuff too.

>increase damage by 100% for 15 seconds
This and the fact that glasses still stack linearly makes HUD pretty much garbage

Aurelionite drop causes another Aurelionite to spawn and fight for you on every teleporter.

I've seen Malachite Contraptions and someone posting Elder Lumerians here. I'm pretty sure everything that can spawn as a horde has a malachite version.

>Aurelionite drop causes another Aurelionite to spawn and fight for you on every teleporter.
Yeah that sounds pretty good. Much better than getting one fucking knurl.
Why do the stone golems knock you so far back.
>Malachite Elder Lumerians
Holy fuck I hope I never run into that. So bosses can't be Malachite then? Or is it just nobody has seen one yet?

early access game. if you dont like an incomplete game, why did you buy one?

Anything can have any affix.

host when?

When is it worth it to charge Artifier's M2?

Feels like uncharged M2's have more impact, especially when you can get them out faster with backup mags.

So what does malachite actually do?
I've seen the spiky shit, but it doesn't deal damage when I walk over it.
Also, how many elite types are there right now anyway? I've seen yellow elder lemuriums before, but as far as I know, frenzied enemies aren't in the game.

malachite jellyfish look pretty rad.

It puts a debuff on you that makes you unable to heal for what feels like a really long time. The spikes also apply it and they 100% do damage, you must have blocked it. The malachite enemies have a fuckton of health as well.

glass cannon characters that don't expect a lot of healing like huntress and mercenary benefit from it the most i think

Rex is easily OP.

Hilarious how you baddies are sleeping in him, he’s by far the strongest survivor atm. They shit out damage like crazy and has a built in black hole.

The secret is you need to not be a little bitch with your hp. Right click is 15% of current hp, not max. You can spam that shit if your R is up. It does a fuckload of damage.

All of your healing is already healing over time, you should never be at full hp, TAKE CORPSEBLOOM. Do not take more than one since it stacks like total dogshit, but a single corpsebloom means you can spam right click as often as possible and never stop as long as you have things to use R on or other healing.

Game doesn't open at all for me. I just get a black screen and I can't alt tab or anything, so I have to turn my computer off. Anyone else?

engi is pretty trash especially now that he got nerfed, merc currently has the best scaling and with few right items he can wreck aurelionite in less than a second, as long as he doesn't get hit

How is the item rebalancing in this new update? Are sticky bombs still competent?

Attached: D3ax3RrUwAES97Z.jpg (1300x866, 158K)

Sticky bombs were far and away the best item in the game, now they're just okay.

Well alright then. With crits being rebalanced, how does Commando fare now? Since he used to be a crazy proc machine.

Sticky bombs are shit. First sticky does 9% average damage, and the efficiency per item goes down afterwards to 4.6% at 39 stacks.

Speaking of those mods, someone update the queen's gland mod to the new patch

>rex is underpowered as fuck. no damage.
He literally does the most damage. Spam the fuck out of the mortar.

I feel like it's especially fucked up since now huntress, mercenary, and to an extent engineer are outranged by the chaingunner and in some situations have no choice but to tank the damage in open areas.

This, anyone who says Rex is bad literally needs to git gud at RoR2.

Huntress queens gland is fucked and needs significant repairing. Artificer queens gland is getting some stuff added due to the new jetpack features.

>when I open this chest you're going to see some serious shit.

Artificer is precisely as item hungry as Mercenary, or at least was before this update.

I define a survivor's item hunger based on how many items are must-have tier that they share with other survivors.

Any ETA on when Artificer is done?

you guys ever notice that in ror1 the planet is in the foreground with the moon behind it and both of them are whole while in 2 the moon is upfront and both of them are torn the fuck up

Nice balance, shitpoo

Somewhat soon. I've got other stuff I'm busy with, but you can check in on the /vg/ threads if they're still around. Yea Forums threads are more for videogame playing.

those mods dont work on the latest update retard

Holy fuck can Rexchads be stopped, same as Artigods pre buff?

so arti is great now?

I want parents and children, those glowing people things. They were cool

Eh, not a fan of /vg/, but I guess I'll keep an eye on that thread.
Do you have somewhere else where you post updates? Like Twitter?

Arti was already great and is now easier than pre-nerf Mul-T. Just never stop hovering and the game plays itself

Nah, I'm just a hobbyist doing this for fun. Had less time to get into things as of late, though. I got an image of what I have so far up on the /vg/ thread.

ARTIFICER.
Because she is always going to be running away and chucking bombs at things, and will never not want Shaped Glass because of her obscene %s and Transcendence is one of the best defenses against Shaped Glass' detrimental effect.

The new formulas favor her higher damage per hit.

and people still somehow think he's shit.

The people that think Rex is bad are the same people that main Huntress, prove me wrong.

Maybe you should set up something in case the /vg/ thread dies again.
Even if you're just a hobbyist, having a place to have your up to date mods accessible at any time would be great.

Is Merc the only one who's complete and working yet?

I should really get around to making a small pastebin. My original idea with posting the raw unity files won't work because there isn't a guarantee that what works today will work after the next update.

They have to be. They need to be playing a character with 2 get out of jail free cards to not die, so a character that uses health to attack is the worst thing in the game to them.

A pastebin would work just as well, yeah.

>give Merc more invincibility in the same patch the new elite bastards come in

Monsoon makes the bosses harder sooner and he shreds them like its fucking nothing.
Backup mag is super broken on him since it basically lets you always be shooting mortars out. The R continues healing you even if the enemies in it die so don't worry about killing them. Mortar has infinite range and your knockback skill is actually good mobility if you can get used to using it.

fine you dumb nig let me boot the game

yeah have fun spamming his RMB and getting one-shot by anything that looks at you

won't spamming mortar kill you?

[3/4] ONE MORE REX AND WE GOT A FULL-ON HENTAI PARTY TO GO.

Attached: zone.gif (600x600, 344K)

>just spam this attack that will kill you on a character with barely no mobility xD

>any tips for him?
Not a whole lot besides use his M2 and R pretty much whenever they come up. M2 and R are based off your current HP% instead of your max HP%, so it's a lot safer to use them liberally than you might think, and you really should be using those skills often. Shift is actually pretty good but it takes a little getting used to. I got into it pretty quickly, probably because I'm used to somewhat similar movement mechanics in TF2 with explosives jumping, but it also doubles as a highly effective tool to just blast niggas off the stage if you're uncomfortable with jumping.

I like artifice having a float, but that ice wall needs more utility still by being a defensive wall and/or let me change the angle it gets planted

No, that's what your R is for, the healing lets you spam mortars for free damage

That doesn't matter since his healing is really high. Throw the R into a group of enemies and spread weaken to as many as possible and you should have no problems staying alive. You can also use your brain and not literally spam the mortar off cooldown, if you are in a situation where that will get you killed then don't.
>no mobility
his shift is great mobility you just suck at using it if you think it isn't.

grab a primordial cube and chuck your r at the endpoint for what is basically infinite hp

Have you been missing the move entirely or only been hitting one enemy with it? It is an insane amount of hp regen if you hit more than one thing in the HUGE radius.
Its 15% current so it can't kill you and becomes less and less hp the lower you are.

CURRENT HEALTH

Just like with the artificer I'm pretty sure it's someone LAPRing trying to pretend the weak survivor is indeed super OP

The hover and damage formula changes unironically helped Artificer a lot.

>look at me I'm a retard
Hello, retard!

I was playing way too carefully with him cause I guess I didn't read properly. I can definitely see why he's great now

It was before the hover change and all the buffs when she was unironically the most useless character in the game, and just like now there was this one autistic guy trying to pretend she was the most OP character in the game. Pretty sure it's the same dude

huntress and arti are in suits so kinda?

weak compared to the other survivors.

What are you even talking about? Transcendence is amazing on a lot of characters like MULT, Huntress or Artificier.

bed time !!

I just did a run with her a few hours ago to see how all the proc changes effected her. Was deleting bosses by the first hour. She's absolutely broken now.

Strongest character atm, don't let the retards that are afraid to lose a little hp tell you otherwise

He literally does the most dps in the game, has good mobility, innate healing, slows, armor reduction and crowd control. His dps move is also AOE. I have no clue how you think this character is bad.
Takes a while to learn how to play optimally. You have to be able to manage the health costs and use your shift to dodge things, but he is one of the best in the game imo.

>i'm not sure if he's good or not yet
If you can't figure it out just by looking at Rex's kit and feeling how it plays, then odds are you wouldn't be able to use them properly anyways.

Rex being able to hold bosses in place is way too strong.
Greater wisps being immune to black holes was what made them so strong. But with rexs root he can both stop them in place but also pull them in.

If he was able to stop magma worms too we'd know that they don't play their own game.

>has good mobility
He has the second worst mobility in the game
>does the most dps in the game
He procs like shit and the damage falls of fast

yeah because i can tell how well he scales into late game by envisioning it
fuck off idiot

>from my dead rock
So, Providence's brother is living on the moon and "lunar" items are somehow related to him, huh. And seeing the last picture on the roadmap it'll be either a moon level or the moon is coming for you.

Pushing enemies off edges etc feels great.

Attached: BEGONE THOT.webm (1500x1308, 1.34M)

that has nothing to do with his late game scaling, you know, the only thing that matters
you tried to make a smartass remark but just look like a dipshit

his scaling is shit.

The only good thing about him is the range on his RMB, but as you are forced to spam it to be able to do damage you will always be low and health and get killed by everything looking at you. Combine that with the worst mobility in the game

You are a very wise user, don't listen to that other guy.

>worst mobility in the game
You know you can use the shift while jumping to blast yourself really far right? It usually kills any trash enemies it hits too. I'd say its better than artificer commando and engineer.

>always be low health
Maybe if you're a shitter

I haven't really kept up, but what do you even do with the fuel array you get from the pod?

Carry it to the 4th stage without getting blown up, then find the new character to unlock him

take it to the higher levels in stage 4, you'll find the new character there and use it on him. if you fall under 50% while holding it you explode i think
also make sure you grab it after you clear the first stage if you want to be safe

You bring it to the fire stage and go all the way up to the highest platform. Put it in the robot that is in the slightly lower platform to the right and you'll unlock rex. If you take more than half your health in damage it explodes and instakills you. Easiest way to do it is in multiplayer, pick mul-t and put someone else's fuel array as your second equipment. It won't explode ever if its not your active equipment.

My biggest grip with this game is the amount of useless items. It feels so dull and boring when you start a new game and only get stuff like bleed daggers and chronobauble, makes you just want to quit the game at that instant.

thanks lads
I wasn't even aware that it could explode

Attached: file.png (1920x1080, 1.67M)

don't all of merc's attacks hit for over 100% damage? so it should be a buff with the new proc damage formula. mul-t's probably fucked though

I see now that I mistyped, I meant commando

Commando's primary fire is 90% and R is 100%. alt fire is 230% so that is a bit better than it used to be. He overall feels weaker than he used to, especially now that sticky bombs suck.

>activate 3 (three) combat shrines on one stage
Jesus, Hopoo, fuck off with these retarded unlocks already. I want to play new update with new content not spending hours playing with old items until I get lucky for stupid shrines.

I can't believe they fucking buffed it.

What did that buff even do? Does it mean that it uses the explosion move more?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how proc-co works, but don't get hit by a blazing at any range.
Nova's Proc Coefficient: 1 3

>Nova's Proc Coefficient: 1 3
Increased from 1 to 3, i mean.

So it basically means the blazing explosion from a vagrant will instakill you? Why do they insist on buffing fire elites so much? Removing all base hp regen when on fire was MORE than enough to make them scary again.

I think Skills 2.0 more implies that we get extra skills for every character or something. Seems to be kept too close a secret for just overhauling.

Ults maybe?

My money's on being able to swap abilities out.
Every survivor gets an extra set of skills and you can choose which ones to take.

Thinking like supers or a new standard fifth skill. Might look funny when the scepter boosts the fourth already though.

That would be neat too.

Is Newtist bugged?
Popped 3 different altars on Scorched Acres and the bar in the challenges section didn't move a bit

That would be pretty interesting, also a good way to include some of the old character's moves to make the old fans happy. Its the next best thing if all of them aren't going to be added to the game.

How do you deal with these new anti-heal enemies? They have a really huge health pool

His skills have the most internal synergy. He kinda sucks against solo targets more than the other survivors but god help lemuria when you go against swarms of ground shit. With a full loadout i'm tempted to say he's the strongest since almost everything works on him as compared to all the wasted items that other survivors have. Only thing you don't want is backup mags really.

It wasn't in the cave.

REX is the Acrid of RoR2, prove me wrong.

to unlock rex I gotta carry a fuel cell to the third stage, right?

He needs an aghs that makes the healing root spread to targets not in the AoE and some actual damage over time poison but he's closest thus far.

You're just a brainlet who can't adapt to new character. Her M1 is amazing and you don't need to spam it like with other characters. One fireball is enough to kill a wisp with dot for example. Two is enough for crab and lemurian. Just throw it and change the target. In late game you'll spam M2 and Ice Wall mostly.

you can jump over to one of the really big hills that doesnt have any bridges or launchers to so maybe something there

Literally nothing lived long enough to be a real threat. And even then, the shield/kill item gave me enough of a buffer to shrug off stray hits.

I like rex, but man, Arti is the MVP of this update.

how does the damage calculation for fuel cell work?
i picked up shaped glass as my second item and immediately blew myself up because a wisp hit me.

It was monsoon. Why is that even hard to believe? You get so much good shit thrown at you on monsoon that it becomes easier than other difficulties after you pass a certain threshold.

What makes the artificer so good now?

Commando opening up a sticky bomb after new patch only to find the explosives replaced with an IOU note

reworked on-hit items

Of course I believe that you didn't get hit once by anything while floating in the air being literally a big floating target.

This should be illegal

on hit items proc on her more now

When you go below 50% you blow up.

I wish his shift was more like force a nature strength for self propulsion when moving forward for wedging your momentum into vertical.

Just go on easy by yourself and hammer it out dude, doing the fuel cell thing is fucking annoying

You can grind any character until they become easy to use, the point is that that's not fun and is bad design.

For me, the float is what sells her, now she doesn't feel like commando with tedious to swap damage, she can explore the map in unique ways, and it gives her a kind of fun, unique weakness, since getting hit while floating sends you soaring across the map

For instance, the new map is basically made for her to get around.

"hmm, I should pick this up"
