What is Deep Rock Galactic? From the official website:
Basically it’s fun as hell and I’ve managed to sink 24 hours on it in two days, so I decided to make a thread about it. Tell me more about DWARVES.
Are there any DWARVEN ALLIES?
What about ANTI-DWARVES?
Inform me of DWARF ACTIVITIES. There are already several different mission types available:
I have heard enough. Teach me HOW TO BECOME A DWARF. Deep Rock Galactic is currently on Steam for $30. As of May 13, 2020, DRG has hit Version 1.0 and has more content than ever! gently caress yes! Where can I find OTHER DWARVES?

The Polygon stream team visited this game and were my introduction to it. It looks like fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewoD0b2KttU

This game is really fun, the way all the different classes gear interacts with eachother to solve problems is super satisfying. No matter what class I play as I feel genuinely useful to the team, though I do wish there was more gear or just options with the upgrades instead of straight paths of numbers going up, but hopefully that'll come in the future. Tho the most recent update has sadly made the crystalline caverns unplayable for me, those new electro crystals do not agree with my computer.

I think this game needs more love. Two friends and I recently got into this and we've been greatly enjoying ourselves. The classes seem to fit the way we play games really well and while I've done some easy solo for some relaxing downtime there's nothing like that Left 4 Dead style frenetic gunplay during swarm events with 2 other people, racing to keep each other up and trying to get enough nitra to keep supplied. While it is Early Access so far we haven't come across any major bugs. There is an upgrade system but they seem kind of small right now and don't really change how you'll be playing so I do hope for some more varied content coming in the future.

They need to put more into the game. I like it, i really do, but the current iteration of the game has so little to do once you've done the missions a few times. I got my moneys worth but i just want more. E: Also i'd really like to not be half forced into playing gunner if its just me and one other person playing. Those ziplines are borderline required sometimes. E: "While it is Early Access so far we haven't come across any major bugs. There is an upgrade system but they seem kind of small right now and don't really change how you'll be playing so I do hope for some more varied content coming in the future" Not seen a dreadnought yet?

This game is a bunch of fun with friends. Pro tip: play at least difficulty level 3, if not 4. The game will get stale quickly without a challenge. The game could use more to do (and the devs are putting a lot it) but you’ll get your money’s worth.

I tried one game with pubbies. I am never again playing with pubbies. They just gently caress off to the four corners of the map and then get pissy when me and my friend are going by and clearing tunnels together.

Finally picked this game up after the big rear end update that was linked earlier. Have had a complete blast and can't wait for more updates. There is variety in the locations and what you encounter there, but things get more limited in other categories. Enemies is a huge one, but is helped by swarm type gameplay, IMO. There are weapon and item upgrades which has kept me playing for a bit. You can also spend resources on how your characters look, which can add more reply time if you think it's worth it. The developers have written that about 30% of content is in, so I'm holding off on unlocking a lot of what is already available. Have mostly been impressed with the public players I've teamed with. Nearly all games have people using voice chat and actually being helpful through it. Get the impression that people are just playing to relax rather than trying to grind.

My experience with pubbies is that i'll drop in, they'll spread out as far as humanly possible, then get pissy when you don't help them.

Devs are back from vacation and have posted their roadmap for future updates: I'm pretty hype about new weapons and whatever "character retirement" means.

This game is a cool game. A bunch of people in our goon vermintide discord bought it and we've all basically stopped playing vermintide for stuff like this instead, so hop in if you want people to play DRG with. https://discord.gg/XeAaDY3

The game's on sale for $17 through the 17th, and I'm wondering if I should pick it up now or wait. I don't recall it going cheaper in the past, but do you guys think it's liable to drop further any time soon? Get pricier soon? Is there a decent group of people playing?

I bought it, so far its a blast! In my region (AU/Oceanic) there are not many people playing, but it is still playable with a little lag. I doubt it will get much cheaper except maybe at christmas sale time. If you lose connection to a host or the host leaves the mission automatically fails (for you, at least) without warning and you get 1/4 of the normal reward, that's been the only downside so far.

This game is one of the smoothest early access games I've bought. No crashes, no game breaking bugs. One time the game spawned me under the map below the drop pod at the very beginning and a grabber spawned to pull me up and out of the abyss. Most of my 50 hours has been with pubbies. Pointing something out with the laser is enough to elicit an unspoken platform/zipline/scout most of the time. In any other PvE game that would be considered a small miracle. In DRG it happens all the time because goddamn the RNG can produce some high verticality maps. The way you can dig or drill your way past any obstacle given time makes the game very chill. Drillers are probably the least played but the new ice strata has changed that. That doesn't mean there aren't unchill jerk though. I've met a few who grief by digging somewhere and mashing the MULE button to freeze it into place or shoot you point blank with the sawn off because you "stole" their minerals. Pubbie scouts are generally the worst. One trick you might see when people don't want to bother with a complexity 3 map or are being overwhelmed in hazard 4 is to dig a hole, recall the MULE, plug the hole with platforms and call the drop pod. It places the drop pod on top of the MULE. Matchmaking and the server browser have been squiffy for a few weeks same exact length of time as Monster Hunter World but other than that, the game is good enough I'm willing to overlook some lag to play with people in the UK or US.

If they add modding, the problem will solve itself if there's a macho man or Danny DeVito soundpack. Delacroix fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Sep 7, 2018 |

I'm hype about Retirement. I haven't really been playing DRG very much because I've maxed out my two favorites (Gunner and Digger), so being able to reset them and get something substantial out of it is good stuff. The new armors are cool too and a massive step up from the originals in terms of detail.

The new gunner armor is practically a mech warrior. Spotted my first DRG cheater: Gold armour without a supporter badge, pickaxed faster than a drill, no matter what game it is, there's going to be a cheater on SEA/JP/CN servers.

The new material eggs are hidden in are gross. The algorithm for eggstraction has changed a lot, a lvl 1 complexity hazard 3 mission took less than six minutes.

So did eggs just replace aquarq and become the new search and extract style mission? It would be weird if they ripped out search and extract completely without replacing it with anything but I wouldn't be too upset to see it go, it was ridiculous compared to anything else

I know aquarq is usually point extraction with the minehead platform but I don't remember if it showed up in other mission types. You can piggyback off other people's retirement assignment if you're doing the same class. I got to 4/5 from a random pub host for gunner as driller.

New egg hunt might be buggy. Just had a round end in abort after the last egg straight up didn't spawn, map had no dots indicating where the egg was and the cave was well and truly explored after 40 minutes of wandering around by four people.

I want escort missions. It would be fun to escort a vulnerable mule to an alternate extraction point.

Compared to where it was on release, their pathfinding algos have way improved. I don't think it will be a problem. Plus you can just make the Mule repairable.

Point Extraction (the one with the Aquarq and the Minehead) is still around.

Give me a defence mission. 4 AI dwarves with turrets (that initially start loaded) vs huge waves of bugs, gotta keep them alive until extract can get there. Make you have to find them first so it "fits" with the rest of the game. If they die you can still "succeed" by getting out with the corpses but everyone carrying a corpse isn't shooting.
