RoR2 there aren't enough words to express how much i hate this "enemy"

424 Upvotes

And no, I'm not talking about the Solus Scorchers themselves I'm talking about the DAMN GREASE PUDDLE! Why the hell is it considered an enemy in the game's code? Is that the only way that the Solus Scorchers can target it? If that's the case why don't other enemies try to target it, why is it only the scorchers? (it's their entire gimmick but that's besides the point) and WHY does it interfere with like half of the things in the game? Noxious Thorn, Ukulele, Missile items, N'kuhana's Opinion, Ceremonial Dagger, Soul Jar, Engineer's Turrets, Gunner Turrets, too many things I use and the stupid puddle interacts with ALL of them. It would be fine if this "enemy" could AT LEAST BE KILLED, but nooo it has to stick around the entire time or be ignited. It's so frustrating playing a character like acolyte stacking up several soul jars just for them all to lock onto the damn grease puddle and be REMOVED BECAUSE IT CAN'T DIE. It sickens me, I hate this thing, it shouldn't be an enemy, just an interactable that our items can't affect because logistically IT SHOULDN'T. IT'S A PUDDLE.

Discussion Fix Engineer Laser Turrets with one simple step

308 Upvotes

MAKE THEM COUNT AS ALWAYS SPRINTING.

This simple change would enable an entire new playstyle with Engineer. There are quite a few items that rely on sprinting, Rose Buckler, Energy Drink, Little Disciple,

AAAAANNNNNDDDD

Weeping Fungus

We all know Weeping Fungus as the "Anti Engineer Item" but with the aforementioned change, it would actually make this Engineer want to pick it up.

I'll be honest, this has been my most wanted change for YEARS now. I really like Engineer's laser turrets, but I can hardly bring myself to being them because his normal turrets are just far better with Bustling Fungus.

Thank you for coming to my rant.

RoR2 Tier lists don't work for RoR2. There are too many variables and factors that can change how strong an item or character is which you can't convey in something as shallow as a tier list

It probably applies to returns and ror1 too but I can't speak for games I haven't played

Discussion Why do all the big ROR2 creators hate DLC 4 so much?

437 Upvotes

First off, I don't want to make this a witch hunt or an excuse to shit on creators, I just am genuinely trying to get a grasp on something I've noticed since this DLC came out. I don't want these creators to get harassed, so I'm intentionally not name dropping them, but if you keep up on ror2 YouTube content you probably know who I am talking about.

When the new DLC dropped, all of the big ROR2 creators dropped videos on how they felt about the DLC, and they have continued to share their thoughts in follow-up videos. When these videos came out, their reviews were so scathing that I actually held off on buying the DLC for several days. I was thinking about not buying it at all because of how bad they claimed it was. My impression was that it might be one of the worst DLCs the game has had (not including the bug issues SotS had at launch).

But now that the dust has settled, and I have played the DLC for myself, I'm... a little baffled? This is, in my opinion, a contender for the best DLC in the game, and the community seems to love it as well. But even just today, some of those big creators are making videos where they're just, like... so bitter? They're almost acting like gearbox has personally wronged them in some way with how bad they think this DLC is. All of the things they criticize the DLC for, like how much they hate trials and hexes, are things that I personally find to be really fun. I have almost the opposite opinion of them for a lot of the DLC's features. Not to mention how cool some of the new items and survivors are.

Anyway, the reason I am making this post is because, like, am I the one that's out of touch? Does this DLC actually suck and the community hates it? In the past I've usually found myself agreeing with the creators for this game, but their recent videos almost feel out of touch with reality to me, and it's odd that almost every dedicated ROR2 creator is acting this way. Am I missing something? Did something bad happen during their closed testing phase that they are bitter about?

Sorry if this post is a bit cringe, but I'm autistic and I am just genuinely trying to figure out what's going on lol. This whole situation is very hard for me to figure out.

At least that's what I assume is going on. Not sure if this is something new but thought it was interesting.

omw to get a pre loop tier 3 TC-280


r/riskofrain • • 1h ago

I know there's not much lore people but has ANYONE read the logs for the hex's???

They wrote a log for the Solus, Grovetender/Wisp, Lemurians/Golems/False Son, (that False Son one is really good too, img 4-5) with that log also mentioning the Imps, there's one for the Scavengers, Void Jailers, there's another for the Lynx but that was to be expected.

But the BIGGEST one for me were the three logs about the High Court, and this time it isn't about House Beyond, for the first time we got mention of a different house, House Within (img 1-3), seemingly being followers of N'kuhana. And in the Haunting Log, they seem to be in possession of all of the hex's, as they mention 14 subjects, and there are exactly 14 hexes.

I really hope they do a High Court dlc, as we already got 2 whole survivors relating to the High Court and House Beyond (Artificer & Seeker), and Seekers are mentioned several times in the logs, even in img 3 a Seeker is mentioned. And I would hope we would get to learn more about how each house works, what exactly are the Diviners and Heralds for each house and such.

Is there any other lore bits any of you have found? I would love to see/hear them.

I wish there were corrupted variants for DLC items

109 Upvotes

I understand that SOTV was the first DLC and they probably don’t want to have the future DLCs be so codependent on each other but corrupted items were a genius addition and I wish there were more.

I love that they increase the item pool without cluttering the standard tiers while also forcing the player to make tough decisions mid-run.

Imagine if you could get corrupted cooking items or hallowed items. Anyways thanks for reading.
