Railgunner works best in multiplayer so other players can be meat shields and distractions.

Yes, if you do Void Fields a new portal appears. Or find the frog on the moon.

Void stuff. You'll notice clouds of Void smoke appear on regular stages that corrupt everything inside, and you have to kill the Void enemies to clear it. You can find Void items in Void Cradles that corrupt other items (but most are straight upgrades)';

There's a "secret" crab boss, but it's ass to fight outside of unlocking Void Fiend (who is ass to play without the Joker Mode skill mod).
New stages are nice. New enemies are kinda cancer, but if you play with RiskyMod the Infestors/Pests/Voidtouched Elites aren't as bad.
DLC adds void items which corrupt normal items into an alternate version. Most of them are direct upgrades to their normal counterparts, with a few being meme items (Benthic Bloom)

Yeah, people complained for a long time that the moon was just one long hallway with nothing in it. So now it has stations you have to charge kind of like the terminals on the Contact Light before you can go up to the arena. Ironically now people complain that they have to do something and would rather cheese their way up to the arena instead.';

'>>1258869
>Ironically now people complain that they have to do something
Standing and waiting inside circles is pretty boring by that point. Hopoo ran out of ideas.
I wish the moon looked more risky2 icon and had you exploring the giant crater. A bunch of demolished structures around the crater, maybe floating or falling. Then moonman down in the core trying to rebuild the moon or some shit';

'>>1258869
Old moon was boring because it was a giant long hallway with nothing in it.
New moon goes beyond boring to being utter ass because it now stalls for even more time than the old moon due to 4min of pillar charging + even longer travel times to get everywhere. Apparently the lore is that the stage was originally meant to just be a normal stage, but got repurposed and artpassed into being moon2 at the last minute.';

'>>1258875
>>1258881
I won't deny that the pillars are boring. But it's the same kind of thing as the Contact Light terminals where you're just waiting out a timer before you can proceed, so I find it ironic people complain about it. Maybe if there was more stuff to find like the Contact Light it would be more rewarding while you're going around for the pillars. There's the soup island and the pod garden but that's basically it, the Contact Light had the different rooms with more items to grab. More enemy variety would help too.';

'>>1258883
The big difference with the Contact Light is that if you want to speedrun to the boss, the travel time is way shorter than what it takes to even reach a single pillar on Moon2. Doors take 30s to open and don't force you to stand in a tiny bubble the whole time, and as you mentioned, there's loot and places to explore if you do stick around.
Old moon was bad, but it still is a lot more tolerable than the new moon, and I'm glad that there's mods to bring it back.';

'>>1258883
in ror1 its never as egregious as in 2, there's never an artificial circle stopping you, if there's something it will be a hangar door that you have to wait to open but otherwise you can move freely around

as others said, by the time you face the pillar circle mechanic you've already seen it many times before (for every teleporter, for every void cell, healing shrines)';

'>>1259223
I hate Risk of Standing in Fucking Circles.';

'>>1259223
it would be interesting if the circle mechanic was removed and replaced with something else. Like super enemies on the outskirts of the map. Or a hazard like damage/darkness fog or heavy winds. How about acid rain';

'circle shit would be bearable if it wasn't on every fucking stage.
give me unique teleporter events. make me seek and destroy random shit across the map or maybe have to collect shit dropped from elites and bring it back to the teleporter.
make it like machine events in DRG damn it. i fucking hate it.';

'>>1259456
Teleporter circle is fine with mods that expand it after the boss dies.
Extra side objectives would be nice tho, instead of chests and money farming being the only thing to do on each stage.';

'>>1258881
Honestly I'd rather take old moon over new moon, it being a hallway is barely an issue. Some modder should retexture new moon into being a new stage 5 and then make the old moon the true moon once more.';

I always thought something similar, maybe something like starting on the moon's surface before going down into a crater via Contact Light wreckage. Would've made sense since the game's goal is to find the ship, so kill two birds with one stone. Solve the mystery of the missing ship and give Mithrix some actual plot relevance since he already wants to GTFO of the moon. As it stands, I don't like either version of the moon and only go there to either see modded character end dialogue or with friends.

Definitely get more items than that, items outscale time scaling by a lot.
1/Returns you need to worry about time, while 2 you don't need to care about the timer as long as you're not spending a retardedly long amount of time on each stage, especially since Scrappers/Printers let you just get a god build every run.';

'>>1261472
>I was spending 12 minutes per stage prior to current strategy
but thanks for advice, I'll try this out next session';

'>>1261478
7-8 minutes per stage is probably the upper limit. If you're new try to hit the TP at around 4-5 minutes as a baseline, though as you learn the maps it becomes more of a question of "how efficiently can I buy out the stuff on the map" rather than a strict time limit.';

'>>1261238
>>1261478
You can comfortably spend 6-8 minutes per stage opening most if not every chest on Rainstorm, definitely don't feel like you have to rush. As the other anon said items snowball and eventually outpace the difficulty scaler, unless you get careless.';

>>1261818
So Binding of Isaac, but a TPS focus? It could work, but the barrier of entry (coding wise) is much higher since 3D by itself makes everything more complicated. One of three major components for RoR type of games is always fucked up:

So I'm playing railgunner on a command run. My goal from the start was to try the blast shower build with gestures, fuel cells, and soulbound catalyst. Once I got that going, the run was smooth sailing.

Later, at the Bazaar, since I had 10 regenerating scraps which I used to buy 2 legendaries every stop at the Bazaar, I had my core legendaries already so at that point I was collecting them for the sake of having them. After mulling over what to get next... I bought a bottled chaos. As you'd expect, pandemonium. The bazaar was on fire. Newt was pissed. So I got kicked out, and so began my lonely struggle of trying to get through stages and try to interact with anything while spontaneously and constantly turning into a meteor and farting out quantum tunnels. I had to end my run soon after to put myself out of my misery.

Normalfags are well known for their shit taste. Risky is a proto Vampire Survivors game, before that subgenre even came into existence. The main reason normalfags play that genre is so they can see number go up and enemies go poof as they're hearing all sorts of neuron-activating bing bing wahoo noises. Risky 2 is braindead and maximizes the bing bing wahoo number go up experience, while Risky 1 and by extension Risky Returns require a semblance of competency in order to progress and beat them, which is the opposite of what the majority of Vampire Survivors enthusiasts desire.';

Unfinished and mismanaged. As I understand it for years they just constantly redid the same models and content and got basically nowhere until the whole thing imploded. Moffein fixed up what they had for the current version of 2, and then some new fags took control of the "official" version and immediately went back to fixing shit that isn't broken. Such as redoing Chirr's model a third time because the fag in charge didn't like that people thought Chirr was cute and "2 is dark and edgy actually," so now she looks nothing like Chirr.';

Starstorm 1 was a passion project made by a single guy, and he later went on to work on Returns.
Starstorm 2 was a hype project that was made by a bunch of people who never played Risky1 and just wanted to get in on '"the big thing," and it has a long and complicated history that basically boils down to "mismanagement and drama with constent dev churn."

SS1 is great and is a must-have for playing 1.
SS2 is utter shitcode that lags your game unless you disable over half the features and can read console to tell what things cause nullrefs.
SS2U is a fork of a less buggy earlier version of SS2 that finishes up a lot of the perfectly usable content that they decided to just scrap for no reason, and it lives rent-free in the head of the SS2 team judging by how they still act passive-aggressive towards any mention of it even in the current year.';

I think he's active in the Starstorm Discord and he used to play in hosts here occasionally so I'd assume he's pretty easy to get a hold of.
>Everyone seems to have no idea what's going on with R and whethet it will get mod support at any point.

Huntress survived too according to the first SotS trailer, which is an interesting little detail. Void Fiend also isn't the original Commando, he was clearly intended to be and the Steam page basically confirmed it, but Hopoo retconned it within a literal hour because it would've "spoiled the biggest mystery of the franchise" AKA what happened to the Contact Light.

It makes so much more sense for them to be space cops that show up when someone kills a god, which is how they captured Commando and Acrid which is how both ended up in void prison (until they also pretended Void Fiend wasn't THE Commando, FUCK)';

Risky 1 is harder but neither games are all that hard once you get the hang of them. 1 is more punishing when you don't know what you're doing but also far easier to trivialize when you do. For difficulty I'd recommend going for OG 1 with the Starstorm mod on the highest difficulty, you'll miss out on some Returns QoL but it's still the best Risky experience there is as of now. You can also mod 2 to make it as ridiculously difficult as you want but it's not as fun, just turns into a boring clusterfuck usually.';

'>>1277850
In terms of difficulty I'd say Returns > 2 > 1
1 has a learning curve due to some of the jank, but once you get how the game works it's pretty easy unless you're playing Starstorm or /v/ rules.
2 can be hard because enemies tend to just 1shot you, but at the same time certain characters/items trivialize the game, and the final boss is lame. RiskyMod/RiskyStarterPack is the go-to in these threads, as they both were directly designed around hosts here.
Returns is like 1 but the enemies deal a lot more damage. Consistently clearing Monsoon on this is the hardest in the series, but some of that difficulty comes from poor game design (Blighteds just 1shot you, Overloading enemies deal fuckhuge unavoidable damage, flying enemy spam that over half the cast has no way of dealing with). Despite its flaws I think it overall feels smoother to play than 1, but the lack of mods/big lobbies prevents it from having staying power once you unlock everything.

If you're going to try any of them, just grab 1 + Starstorm from here as a starting point, and disable Music Remix and Kill Remaining Enemies in the lobby rulebook.

why would hotpoo take his words out of context';

'...I know you can hear me.

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, at first. Perhaps there was a flaw during the development.

Perhaps it was one of your games. I was even willing to forgive you.

But no, I see the truth now. You left me on this forsaken threads. And for what?

Is this all for your little Discord? The server you love so much?

Or, can I even call it love, when you would stab your only anon in the back? How could you do this to me?

I, the only one who reported the bugs post-launch.

I, the one who showed you how to fixed them?

I, who HELPED to CREATE the very game you use to invite FAGGOTS and NIGGERS to our series?

I, YOUR ONLY ANON?

HOW COULD YOU LOVE THOSE IMPERFECT, FLAWED FAGGOTS BUT NOT ME? AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

...Say something.';

'>>1279046
You just do similar ini edits as you did for the original and it just works. Most people don't know this because it requires getting more than 4 people to play Risky Returns, and most anons don't wanna play it because they can't hit the fortnite griddy as edgy custom characters with broken items in it yet.';

'>>1281163
Canonically we only know that Commando, Huntress and Acrid survived. Contact Light getting crabbed was probably the original intent but it got retconned right alongside all the Void Fiend shit.';

'>>1281168
>but it got retconned right alongside all the Void Fiend shit.
?';

'>>1281169
I assume they mean how the void was retconned from being a jail for those deemed too powerful into being a hivemind controlled by Voidling';

'>>1281169
Void Fiend was originally intended to be OG's Mando but Hopoo retconned it specifically because it would've revealed what happened to the Contact Light, so they clearly have other plans for it now.';

'>>1281172
>Hopoo: Revealing what happened to the Contact Light and Commando in the DLC would be a waste, we have bigger plans
>Also Hopoo:';

'>>1281172
voidmando can't be retconned if they literally NEVER DID ANYTHING WITH THE LORE
the DLC also just looks like random new content. not much story besides gold titan being a girl for some reason';

'>>1281361
There's more going for the new DLC than the old one actually. Exploring how the Lemurians are deathly afraid without Providence so they build a statue of him, which Aurelionite gives life to, is WAY more than "the crabs collect things, because uhhhhhhhhhhh"
Hopoo even removed the Voidling ending to remove any sort of story there might have been. They had no idea what to do. If Gearbox at least has a cutscene for False Son they'll already be miles above Hopoo.';

'>>1281488
you have a lot of hope, anon. We might finally have a story if they start doing better than MY ORGANS';

'>>1281488
I can't describe how disappointing Survivors of the Void is from a story or spectacle standpoint. I ENJOY the Super Mario Sunshine bits, but it has genuinely no place in Risk of Rain 2 and is a total non-sequitur. Those segments should have been corridors of baby voidlings or something equally as implicitly horrifying. Not to mention the simple fact that one of the most terrifying beings in the cosmos, a would be collector of fucking gods, is a giant enemy crab. Zero imagination, zero thought was put into that.';

Can I get some feedback lads? Noone said anything to me since I released it outside of bag reports.';

'>>1287979
my brain isn't really tuned to provide actual constructive criticism, but i thought it was neat. seeing an actual custom map was cool.
also the skybox camera thing (>>1283920) was kinda funny.';

'>>1287982
Well, you got out of bounds, which shouldn't be a thing. And I think its original DS1 skybox that I kinda just left in but it is not visible due to fog.';

'>>1287983
yeah ms. isle with high speed can just fucking clip through walls, it's kinda great.
also that screenshot isn't the best but what i was trying to show is that the skybox is just a camera in one of the hallways, and if other people are in that hallway you can see them
you can see rime (registeel/regigigas) approaching the camera in this pic';

'>>1287437

I love map design. here's some feedback:
>doors/hallways too thin for characters (regi). From the ravine to the tomb, and also doorways inside the tomb
>both the ravine and tomb are awesome but small. It's like you have 2 small maps in one since they're "hallways". Maybe make one side comically bigger? Or connect the dead ends of the tomb to the ravine so that the map wraps around like a circle
>players should be encouraged to explore vertically. Add more jump pads/stuff at the top of the ravine?
>the darkness for the ravine is unique and great. How about making the ravine a bit darker? But keep lights near doorways obviously
>statues are a nice touch
>any easter eggs? Like nito's coffin doing something cool?';

'>>1287979
booted the game up just to try this map with loader. most of my thoughts have already been said by other anons but here i go:
>map could really use an expansion. the ravine is good but i felt like i fully explored the tomb way too fast to enjoy it
>the map looks great. i love every single detail with both statues and how the actual ravine looks.
>enemy pool feels bad. most of the picks are fine, but fighting both vultures and alpha constructs feels like ass

>>1288495
>>any easter eggs? Like nito's coffin doing something cool?
I hope to add one Miner related sometime in the future. Not sure when since free time is sparse and even adding music took a while from initial release.
>>map could really use an expansion. the ravine is good but i felt like i fully explored the tomb way too fast to enjoy it
>>both the ravine and tomb are awesome but small. It's like you have 2 small maps in one since they're "hallways". Maybe make one side comically bigger? Or connect the dead ends of the tomb to the ravine so that the map wraps around like a circle
The problem is that, as you obviously noticed, it is a direct port from DS1, so map consists of like 7 parts that are solid meshes, like the entire upper tomb map is a single mesh except for coffins. So editing it is a giant pain in the ass, especially considering I absolutely abhore modelling. I'll see what I can do for regi, since I already had to modify doors so Elder Lemurians can fit, but in regards to making stuff bigger\smaller - probably not, it would require more than just scalling stuff up and down
>>the darkness for the ravine is unique and great. How about making the ravine a bit darker? But keep lights near doorways obviously
Darkness is actually universal for the entire map, its just tomb parts have torches. I know you can do different post processing depending on where player is, since dampcave (abbysal depths or whatever its called) does it for cave part but previewing PP in editor is ass, so I kinda found what looks okay and ran with it.
>>enemy pool feels bad. most of the picks are fine, but fighting both vultures and alpha constructs feels like ass
Enemy poll was selected mostly from """lore""" perspective (lemurians obviously since its their tomb, whisps, golems and constructs are ghosts\guardians, vultures are vultures, festering on fresh corpses).';

'>>1288721
After all I went through to make it it is actually not that difficult assuming meshes are easy to import\available somewhere online. So if you have something - shoot.';

'>>1289061
And to elaborate on meshes - original intention was to also connect "return" tunnel from Nito to the upper part of ravine and then make additional connection from upper tomb to the celling hole where skeleton blacksmith is. But since this is Unity and not actually good map editing program, like Hammer from Valve, you have to make meshes in Blender and then reposition them in Unity, hope it imports well, hope it doesn't fuck up origin points (which are currently fucked up and it messes with occlusion and LODs, resulting in worse performance), etc.';
