Ensign, raise the beariscope.





Yeah, there's something to be said about the added difficulty of having to do two main objectives at the same time. It doesn't always make a difference, but when it wants to it can make a real big one.

Fighting a Hive Guard on a Point Extraction mission; why yes I love getting huge waves in the middle of dreadnaught fights, how did you know?!

edit: actually, it was the twins, and with Shield Disruption. Since the twins are very good at chipping you, it took like 4 runs to finish that level.

Yeah that's for sure what makes EDDs hard is the objectives and modifiers, not the hazard level. I can do haz5 fairly regularly and feel fine, but liquid morkite in the fungus bogs with low o2 on haz5 is a pain.

I love the mods that are just like "MORE BUGS"

I don't want the bugs to be tougher or do more damage. I want there to be too many of them. Just way too many of them. Just an endless amount of bugs. It's a dang blast

There was a mission yesterday that had the Gold Rush modifier and Pots O' Gold as the beer in the canteen. Waited about 30 minutes for a team of four and went into it at Haz 4. First big room had like 3 spitball infectors, a naedocyte breeder somewhere we couldn't see, glyphid menaces, and a glyphid brood nexus behind all the spitball infectors where we couldn't get to it in addition to the steady stream of normal glyphids. Teammates all went down pretty quick to the spitballers since they though it was just one or two and then got downed by the second or third while trying to revive. Managed to hold off the swarm as the last person alive long enough to get everyone revived but the naedocytes and glyphid brood brought me down to 0 ammo and we never mined enough nitra to call a resupply. Rest of the team wiped again and I had nothing but my pickaxe left so I went down right after.

Failed the mission and got exactly 69 gold.

8 Incendiary grenades with what felt like a bigger AOE on my gunner and it is so satisfying having a horde of bugs get cremated walking through the fire wall as I hit em with the fiery bullets minigun.

Need to get in on that kind of game again with my driller with the max duration sticky flames and explosive reload Subata.

I'M A LEAD FARMER, MOTHERFUCKER!

So Season Passes (which will be free earn-your-way-through things)... eh... mixed feelings but if they're trying to throw in a new content wheel that makes sense.

I have a feeling that we won't see fleshy humanoid enemies. Maybe it's a ESRB/PEGI rating thing, or maybe they just want to be able to say that you don't shoot fleshy humans and therefore it's kid friendly. New enemy looks cool.

My understanding is that the BPass is free, which I'm fine with; this and the cosmetic tree are essentially spins on what DRG has done so far: complete RNG drops. The new systems let people either target stuff they want (the tree) or have a solid idea of when and how much effort it takes to get a given item (the pass). Plus, even the annoying thing that BPasses do where they expire seems to be something they've factored in; when it expires / they launch the next one all remaining items you haven't gotten move to an alternative unlock system? My guess is that they'll be dropped into the blank core pool or something similar.

I'm hyped, my heart sank for a second when they said "Battle Pass" but if they're keeping these free and just continue to fund themselves with a-la-carte DLCs instead I think it's all good. I like having things to unlock and work towards, my playtime took a dive when I finished unlocking overclocks and most of the dwarves had outfits I was happy with. Game is still fun as gently caress but it doesn't hurt to have that lizard part of the brain look for shinies, yeah?

New mission looks sick too!

Just got asked/confirmed on the preview stream: All future Passes will be likewise free, they will never do the standard paid BPass system.

ngl was pretty worried when I saw the season pass but happy that it's free. New cosmetic DLC looks pretty badass.

ASK ME ABOUT THE BEARS
All round, it sounds like a really great update. I don't mind Battle Passes so much and would pay for a DRG one, but "seasonal" content is what irks me. I've usually been quite disappointed when content updates are in that cycle as you end up waiting months for what could be a lackluster update. Looking at you, Sea of Thieves. However... DRG has been so consistent with their content and has such a great gameplay loop that I doubt I'll end up disappointed.
