Risk of Rain: HOST WHEN Edition
tfw no hosts
Someone host I hunger for sniping
how do you deal with overloading magma worm with miner and glass. It just seems so rough during the first 5 min.
>>337666885
Actually scratch that, it's way too late for this,
Have one last bump before I go.

For some discussion while we wait for host...
Top three classes?
Favorite level?
Favorite/least favorite boss?
>Huntress, Commando, Chef
>Ancient Valley; hated it at first cause I could never beat it, but after multiple completions it's pretty comfy and fun
>Providence/Toxic Beast (not hard, just boring)

>Sky Meadow; comfiest music
>Wurm/Cremator

Either the first one with the flat terrain because it's fun when you loop due to enemy spam.
They all have good and bad points.

will you play with total scrub with about 1 or 2 hours of total in game time?
i want to join you ... anon
>>337671263
Hello scrub, why don't you forward your ports and host for us.
>>337671458
next time, no problem, i'm not at home
that was just a question of etiquette
>>337671642
Most players are scrubs when it comes to /v/ rules of Risk of Rain. Just don't be a loser and pick an item other than clovers for the first 8 from green chests and you'll be fine. RoR is partially pure luck and partially quick response time and knowing what to do anyway.
>>337671815
oh, thx
>>337671815
>>337672007
Wait I think I miswrote part of that, I meant to say you're supposed to pick 8 clovers (in total shared among the team), where after it's free for all. Infusions are still considered not allowed though.
The reason for the emphasis on taking clovers is cause they increase the drop rate by 4% from elites. And since we play with Honor on this means we only fight elites, thus drastically increasing drop rate with 8 clovers. Each one only increases 1% after that.
You know, I'm actually trying to master playing Mercenary, but I always get fucked by wurms. How am I supposed to beat wurms if they attack and then charge into me if they rise and descend quicker than it takes for my cooldowns to be finished

Sniper is pretty cool.
Miner is very fun once he gets going.
HAN-D once you overcome his slow attack speed.
>Favorite level?

Comfiest as fuck music.
>Favorite boss?
Providence if you rush him and don't get too many items.
>Least favourite boss?
Overloading Vagrant on first level before you can get boots.

Post your most overpowered stack ideas.
My idea: about 100 barbed wires. Field of pain around me, do want.
Did only a couple of people crash?
>>337675609
Yes please restart.
>>337675464
Not as great an idea as it sounds, it's actually very inefficient. I've gone to like 200 Barbed Wires before and everything still ends up living long enough to meet the wrong end of my pickaxe.
Spook is currently taking on a pair of stacked Cremators.

are you that retard who made a (terrible) list of what six items you should have to take providence on?
that was pretty embarrasing dude, i would've dropped your tag pretty fucking hard after something like that
Oi, help me test if it works.

>>337676952
If you can come up with a better list of six items while adhering to the parameters I was working with, I'm all ears.
Your item set follow these parameters:
>cater to new players and first timers in a character
>because the veterans are assumed to not need a guide
>one green and five whites, because everything else gets jewed
>some defence
>maximum damage efficiency within this small inventory
>support a playstyle close to how most players new to the class will attempt to play
>require minimal explanation to understand the playstyle
>because you specifically want your guide dimensions and filesize to be small

CRASHES ARE FUN
LET'S DO IT AGAIN
>>337678710
CRASHES ARE FEATURE
THE GAME STARTS WITH US CRASHING ON UNKNOWN PLANET
WITH NO SURVIVORS
>>337678143
well these are some pretty dumb parameters for a guide
>>cater to new players and first timers in a character
new players dont jump straight to online if they know whats good for them. they also dont start playing with Command straight away. this guide caters to nobody
>>because the veterans are assumed to not need a guide
some veterans have played 1 survivor since they started and know noone else. guides should be useful to everyone
>>one green and five whites, because everything else gets jewed
grabbing items for your personal survival before getting team support items is straight up jewwing anyway, assuming Command. people need to grab Gasoline+Teeth and Clover/Purse, otherwise you are just jewwing the team
>>some defence
you either play with glass where defence is useless or without glass where defence doesnt matter until after 20+ minutes assuming you aren't braindead
>>maximum damage efficiency within this small inventory
why the small inventory? whats the point? is this constraint incase you play with hopeless retards who cant stay alive for 10 seconds and Item Share is on?
>>support a playstyle close to how most players new to the class will attempt to play
how the fuck would you know how a new player will play with a new survivor?
>>require minimal explanation to understand the playstyle
if someone wants to know how to play they should be prepared to actually read something and not just TLDR straight to the footnotes
>>because you specifically want your guide dimensions and filesize to be small
whats wrong with big file size and multiple images? how fucking big is a picture of text and block colours gonna be?

You missed the other half - people playing a character for the first time. Newbies pick up on Command pretty quickly.
>some veterans have played 1 survivor since they started and know noone else. guides should be useful to everyone
There's 11 other sections just for you.
>grabbing items for your personal survival before getting team support items is straight up jewwing anyway, assuming Command. people need to grab Gasoline+Teeth and Clover/Purse, otherwise you are just jewwing the team
Teeth make a fine one-of, but they're not that strong for stacking in Glass. Clovers are definitely a first-pick, and if you had read the upper section, you would have noticed it.
>you either play with glass where defence is useless or without glass where defence doesnt matter until after 20+ minutes assuming you aren't braindead
Sometimes another player blows up all the Gups next to you.
>why the small inventory? whats the point? is this constraint incase you play with hopeless retards who cant stay alive for 10 seconds and Item Share is on?
Because other players jew the chests and leave little for you.
>how the fuck would you know how a new player will play with a new survivor?
Personal experiences learning the characters, and observing other players.
>if someone wants to know how to play they should be prepared to actually read something and not just TLDR straight to the footnotes
By piggybacking how new players play, you minimise the length of text required to explain things.
>whats wrong with big file size and multiple images? how fucking big is a picture of text and block colours gonna be?
Not everybody has fibre optic for cheap, and I'm also considerate of mobile browser data limits. Europeans are a significant portion of our player base, and we've also had Phillipines and Pakistan players.

Regarding the discussion about miner, I just made a quick test as curiosity was killing me.
With 6 Green-Missiles (60% chance to fire a missile on-hit), using a single shot of his basic attack the number of missiles vary between 0 and 3.
Sometimes it shoots 2, sometimes 3, etc. (Which the Harpoons is similar but the range is obviously 0-4 missiles on each shot).
With 10 Green-Missiles (100%), it always get 3 missiles on one shot of the basic attack.
That clearly demonstrates that each grenade of Engi basic attack can in fact proc separately when we talk about on-hit items.
