“I tried it, I don’t like it. But my friends love it” Update

118 Upvotes

The title is no longer accurate, I’m having fun now! I took your guys’ suggestions and shared it with my friends. They let me be more active with objectives, let me learn more on my own, and were letting me take the game in rather than talk over it the whole time. We also pumped up the difficulty, which helped my engagement a lot. Hazard level 3 has been perfect for me with squads or solo. I’ve found myself liking scout and driller most, and I love the scout DMR. I’ve found myself playing the game solo in my free time when I can. Thanks everyone for being chill that I didn’t like the game initially and for giving suggestions to help fix that. Rock and stone <3

Discussion With talk of a new season and new work for the game.. STICKY GRENADE, CATCH!! I wanted to ask, what are folks thoughts on this odd little fast ball? And if it might need a lil sumthin sumthin

Even back in pre-season era of deep rock it's been a kinda curious option for gunner, and I've wanted to spark some discussion over it since I think I'm the only person I've ever seen use it EVER, and thats just because I was really curious what it's for. But what do yall folks think? is it underwhelming? Is it good yet niche? needs a buff? Rework? Even more friendly-fire damage??

My hat is that I think it has it has a niche, but it's a bit understatted for it. I like it's immediate fear proc that also lets off a nice lil bit of damage, but especially for only having 6 of them on hand and such a small aoe it feels like it just doesn't do enough compared to gunners other options. It's also by far the easiest way to kill a teammate you have, throw it on a praetorian (the most common use imo) and if someone wants to get close to see that be-hind they get a nice meaty explosion and hit the floor. Fear can also be a lil odd, and spur a prae to run in odd directions, which means it can easily hit a scout trying to get in a cheeky butt blast. It's a lot more dangerous to a teammate depending how they play compared to bugs. Plus a skill issue can have it arc weird, and that thing wont bounce one bit, so if it arcs down by a dwarf you can rest assured that beards fried.

My suggestions? Buff to 8 bombs like electric rangs, OR a slightly bigger aoe with maybe a little longer tick so teammates can escape blast radius. With my thoughts being 8 bombs mean it's a bit more spammable, meaning it's more underwhelming effects are a lot more negligible, and just spamming them at prae's or anything you want scared of you is a lot easier. My second thought of a larger aoe being that msot of gunners bombs have devastating aoe, and with just a smidge more it can be just a little bit more on par. While it can't compete with a lead-burster, it's extra effects and extra 2 uses would put it on edge in a similar comparison of lead-burster and cluster nade's

But of course this is a discussion, so the main thing is hearing what other folks thoughts are on this glue bomb! Is it fine as it is, just an option that's under utilized due to stiff competition? is it a bit underwhelming and in need of some buff or a rework? Etc!

Question I remember seeing something about an armor paint scheme that matched the lost helmet but I don't remember if it was from a dream or not.

Is there anything that looks like this in-game or not? I remember it being an appropriately military themed paint job but I don't remember what it was called. I also remember being disappointed because it would be hard to get. And even if there's nothing like this in-game, it looks like it would be a cool paint job and I'd like to see it added. A sorta deserty triangle camouflage pattern that makes the visor of the marine helmet and the like red.

Hello fellow miners,

i heard about DRG two days ago and really loved it but i am afraid that i am a bit late to the party.

I don't have friends willing to buy it and play it with me, and i am afraid that if i play solo maybe get bored and even if i play in pubs, they will have a higher level and gear than me and basically get carried every game.

I know it has one of the best communities and i know i will be gladly welcomed with a beer, but is it really worth it at this time and state ?

Discussion What should the paid expansion add?

17 Upvotes

I’d suppose there wouldn’t be new enemies since that would affect every mission (unless the expansion is a new biome then there’s biome exclusive enemies)

It seems to be really big so I’m really curious, could even be a mission type.

This may seem far fetched but what if they’re adding a new class? In DRG:S besides the main 4, the game has two new classes expansions that are paid while DRG:RC has 5 classes. I know Ghost Ship was against a 5th class but now it’s Invisible Walls on board, and looking at the perk rework seems like they’re open to new things

I can see it being something out of the core gameplay loop, like Deep Dives are and what Rogue Core was supposed to be

MODDED GAMEPLAY [NA][Steam] LFG, modded

5 Upvotes

Howdy miners. I host modded difficulties (usually lower tiers, nothing *that* crazy) and most of my crew stopped playing regularly. Posting here to see if anyone is interested in joining/learning.

I do play some pickup games here and there in pdrg, but looking for more consistent players in my region. I host pub 6x2 but that's pretty hit or miss too. I also posted in main discord but got no responses.

Feel free to shoot a DM here or just add me: https://steamcommunity.com/id/p01ng

Question How do I play driller?

Post image
85 Upvotes

The most skilled player I’ve seen was a driller soloing a haz 5+ mission with all the other players dead practically the entire time. This inspired me to try and learn driller. They had a build somewhat like the one shown in the image, but whenever I try and play driller I absolutely suck at it. How do I play driller, and can I improve my build? I don’t have any other good driller builds and spent like 150k credits making this one. lol

Discussion Steam achievement: another bug hunt

3 Upvotes

J'essaie de débloquer ce succès en ce moment ; j'arrive à éliminer deux Dreadnoughts en solo, mais pas en moins de trente secondes. Le plus dur, c'est de les garder en vie face à Bosco.

Dès que Bosco repère quelque chose, il déclenche une attaque, ce qui crée toutes sortes de problèmes. Je me retrouve souvent face aux deux Dreadnoughts jumeaux ; le temps que j'en élimine un, puis l'autre (qui peut me tuer en un seul coup), et que je détruise enfin le cocon… eh bien, même si j'essaie de l'occuper à miner, on dirait qu'il a un problème de concentration. J'ai abandonné l'idée de ce succès après six tentatives où il tue l'autre trop vite ; je dois prendre mon temps. J'adore ce jeu, mais certains succès sont difficiles à obtenir. Cela m'a permis d'essayer une autre façon de gérer les éliminations et de me lancer un défi. D'habitude, je joue pour me détendre, mais entre Bosco, BET-C et Molly, ils vont me rendre fou.

edit : I got it by fighting both of them at the same time.

ROCK AND STONE Never again

Before I start, I know its a skill issue.

I always play on Haz 3, I enjoy doing my objectives whilst occasionally having to fight off a horde of glyphids.

This mission i chose to do a Haz 4.

I spent the whole mission constantly being chased by natural spawns of this size, let alone what happened every time there was a swarm every 2 minutes.

Needless to say I eventually exhausted my caves nitra supply and ended up here.

Somehow I stilp managed to get 8 of the 10 aquarks.

10/10 would be mauled to death by glyphids again

Edit: I also managed to complete an overclock infuser mission with the annoying tower

Issues with Korlok Tyrant-Weed

25 Upvotes

Hi yall,

I hosted Haz5 mining mission in Fungus Bogs and we came across the Korlok weed. Now, this is the second time I've experienced the bug where in the last third of its health, the sprouts (I call them bebes) did not spawn, so we could not kill it. Also, my FPS regularly drops when we fight the weed, but goes back to normal when we finally kill it. This time, however, since we could not kill it, my FPS dropped to cozy 9 and stayed that way until the end of the mission.

Anyone else had this issue? I have no idea how to recreate the bug and report it to devs.

Well now that they’ve even announced paid expansions DRG is pretty much in a complete state

S7 adding tattoos, new overclocks and the perk rework, making all systems of the game near complete. The only thing missing is a deep dive rework I’d say.

Something I've been working on for some time. I've always loved the abyss bar with it's unique, whimsical beverages. These are made from repaired game files and printed in multicolor abs, and then I coat the the interior with a food grade epoxy with a tumbler turner setup of sorts. The last bit is definitely the hard part, there's a surprising amount of pitfalls in creating a food safe coating besides just picking the right resin.

Anyway, rock and stone. May your beards be thick and your gold satchels heavy! Glug glug glug
