Risk of Rain, HOST WHEN Edition

Who's the most fun class and why is it loader?

...

You guys ever go back and play ror with no artifacts? I'm tryin it right now, it feels so odd, but it's still kinda fun

...

Get in here lads

I see ror threads often. What kind of game is this? I wonder if I should buy it?

Bought the game recently. How do I git gud?

Objective: Survive

But is it fun?!?

it's fun enough to have threads almost every day for years, if that's any sign.
it's very fun, aside from when you die and have to watch a slow carry

I played in the past and it seemed very boring and clunky to me, even with a couple of buddies that all reached the same conclusion I did. Is there a secret sauce we missed?

Did you have artifacts?
the right artifacts speeds the game up quite a bit, and makes it so killing enemies directly rewards you instead of having to waffle around the map for chests.

Yes, you gave up before the fun started. Also secret sauce: artifacts

>Did you have artifacts?
No? Yes? How do I tell? What the fuck are they?

Artifacts are in level, findable items that allow for generally fundamental changes to how the game plays. they look like purple outlined, dark colored objects. sometimes you can see them in a level. you usually have to do something special to unlock them. Or just download a 100% save file, which might be better if you find the game bland at it's vanilla state.

it might not make the game more fun for you, but if you want to give the game another go, it's worth trying. reccomended artifacts are glass (you have lower hp but do more damage), sacrifice (enemies drop items directly), and spite (enemies drop FUNBALLS when they die) the others are up to you. spirit is buggy as shit in multiplayer so don't use it.

HOST WHEN

Artifacts are special unlocks that spawn in predetermined locations on certain maps (check the wiki). Once gathered, you will be able to enable them before the start of the game (at character select). The artifacts all modify gameplay to be more fun/challenging.

The one you want is called Glass: it makes you do 500% damage, but have 90% less health. Glass makes games faster, makes your abilities feel more impactful, and makes enemies more threatening. I would also recommend Honor and Spite, which turns enemies into elite versions who explode on death, respectively. These two add to the challenge of the game, and are Sup Forums standards.

Lastly, you'll want Command and Sacrifice. Command allows you to pick what items you want rather than getting random drops, and Sacrifice makes enemies occasionally drop items so you don't have to buy them from chests. The game's fun comes from building up your item build and becoming a godlike killing machine, so these two are important.

I recommend getting Command and Glass first; this will take you a while so you can familiarize yourself with the gameplay. Or if you don't want to wait, just edit the save file like I did - you can look on the wiki for how to do that

probably soon

There's a lot to be said for not using command, especially if you're new to the game. It's fun to discover new items and their effects naturally. I'd recommend just glass for a new player, and then glass and spite once they're comfortable with the game but still figuring it out.

Kek

That is true, actually. It's sad that about 80% of the items in the game stop seeing use once you have Command.

Anything open?

the general formula is
if you are doing honor (with glass/sac/spite), then you should use command.
otherwise, keep command off.

ingame

What does "cc?" even mean?

clover count

I wish there was a version of the cover art without the title and developer names, it looks cool as shit

coobie ghost pls
open

Alright and what's the goal in this case? Everyone having the same number of clover?

>guy who quit was on a rope

combined total of 8

How do you get 2.5 zoom? I recall reading something about that in the last thread.

Alright thanks.

8 frist green should always be clover because each give 8% more chance for an elite to drop a chest. so more clover = more items faster

4% my b

Find RoR's files on your computer. There should be a "Prefs.ini". You can open it up in a text editor. Scroll down to [Video Options], and set "scale=2.5".

Shouldn't 2.5 be too close to the screen?

thanks

Yeah its too small for my taste. I prefer 1x for the maximum gameplay advantage, but I can see why some people want to appreciate the aesthetics. 1.5x is also a possibility.

Damn, nice

I certainly feel the sting of the clock much more in vanilla...
And drones are honestly the way to go with most chars

My pleasure, and thanks for the (you) my dude

The only must have artifact for me is glass

Thats not Commando
