 This is Domehead. He's an odd duck, and proof that it truly takes all kinds to skin a glyphid. He's friendly enough and will join his fellow dwarves for a round at the bar, but he isn't very talkative. To them, at least. He's always mumbling to himself about something or other. Nothing devious, and in fact usually it's something mundane like him musing about how he's gonna break his latest Jetty Boot high score (none of the other dwarves can come close) or about the inner workings of whatever gun he's found the manual of around the Space Rig. He also will not take the helmet off for any reason, which just make him even more inscrutable. His co-workers are more bemused by him than anything. He's pretty chill and they know he can be counted on in a pinch, so they're content to let him be his own weird little self  Domehead's shotty is something he picked up for himself the first time he got promoted. He doesn't splurge very often, but this boxy red wonder was just too clean to pass up. He's tweaked it to maximize raw destructive potential, and though he quietly and competently wastes swarms with this bad boy as they approach, he's almost too quick on the draw for it to just be another day at the office for him.  Other dwarves can never really get a read on ol' Domehead. He doesn't emote much and the helmet makes him even harder to parse. But when he slams one of these grenades right in the jaw of a praetorean and watches it disintegrate, his fellow dwarves have sworn they've seen a glint in his eye even through that dome of his. This grenade launcher is the end result of many a sleepless night tinkering away, and the results speak for themselves.  Domehead's pickaxe is a funny one, a combination of nerdy numbers and readouts and an edgy look. According to Domehead, the skull head and black-and-red scheme "just seemed like the thing to do." One time one of his coworkers hid his pickaxe away behind the Abyss Bar as a prank. Domehead, rather than hunt for his precious pickaxe, recalibrated the Space Rig's gravity just to jostle it out of its hiding spot. The costs were astronomical. Mission Control makes sure nobody touches Domehead's pickaxe anymore.

Some very rad outfits being posted. I have a general question though, I went on holiday to see a friend who moved country and I find out he picked up Deep Rock to play but unfortunately we're on different consoles. I assume nothing more has been mentioned about crossplay in a while?

GSG hasn't implemented their own platform-agnostic account system so the only cross-play available is Windows store and Xbox versions. Would be nice if the major platforms could hammer out an agreement on cross-play to make it easier on developers for every game.

I mean, Sea of Thieves is about to be released on PlayStation, offering seamless crossplay with Xbox, MS Store and Steam, which has been running since 2018. It's certainly possible.

Sywert of Thieves posted:I mean, Sea of Thieves is about to be released on PlayStation, offering seamless crossplay with Xbox, MS Store and Steam, which has been running since 2018. It's possible, but also highly dependent on how a game is structured. Each major platform has their own rules on things like how usernames are handled and requirements for player communication (e.g. can you block someone who's being an rear end in a top hat?). Then you get to the back end of gameplay, where clients are connecting to a host - most cross-play games are ones using dedicated servers, because direct connections between clients using different platform-provided networking APIs is problematic. It would be a substantial amount of work to refactor the game this late in its life to add additional cross-play, which is at odds with their general design philosophy of minimal overhead. I'm sure they've already considered it, and the financial cost of doing it would not have gone down since then.

If you'd ask me, I'd be entering my Scout because I feel the most attached to him despite just being a goofy cosplay, but I am gonna post the whole gang anyway and you can choose, Kith. I love these dumb dwarves. Erik The Swift  It wasn't all that surprising for Erik anymore that he had gotten lost yet again. And not even the locale he had gotten catapulted to was that strange - he had been aboard the spaceship of a futuristic, lifesucking, all-consuming force before (albeit not while getting paid). It was slightly more surprising, and somewhat more humiliating, that everyone welcomed him with open arms right away. "Rock and stone, dwarven colleague!" Erik knew he was the most diminutive of his friends, but being mistaken for a dwarf, of all things, bruised his pride just a tad. On the flipside, Erik's quick feet, quicker wit, and sometimes even quicker insults made him popular with his new co-workers. Once he had gotten equipped with what appeared to be a magic pain dispenser (the Engineer called it a "deepcore") and a crossbow that would have made Baleog and his bow look even greener from all the envy, Erik speedily rose through the ranks. Now, Erik spends his days in a relatively content routine, though he still misses home terribly - maybe that darn Wormhole Special will bring him back one day ... Exterminator (as named by himself) / Bug Joe (as named by his colleagues)  Rules. Comfort. Peace. None of that matters when you enter the festering hell they call "Hoxxes". In this place forsaken by any kind of civilized life, only the most ruthless can endure. "Kill or be killed" is the only law and the predators its sole judge, jury, and executioner. Anyone entering the lairs of these monsters unprepared is bound to end up as their next meal ... slowly, painfully dissolving in their corrosive acid. You cannot simply walk in there and call yourself top of the food chain ... you have to prove it. And the only language these ungodly beasts are fluent in is sheer, brutal, instinct. So a mere dwarven mind will get crushed before it can even comprehend the dangers ahead. No, what you need is an insect's mind. To beat a bug, you must become a bug. Study their movements. Imitate their way of the hunt. Clad yourself in the carapace of their ilk that you have torn apart. Harvest their scent glands and fasten them to your armor, dousing yourself in the foul scents they use to identify their kind. Stop engaging in frivolous pursuits like "dancing" or "Jetty Boot" that just take away precious time you could be spending immersed in your prey's mindset. Stop using pointless things like "dwarven speech". Your colleagues might find the hissing and clicking noises confusing, but no matter. You might even need to stop kicking barrels for a while, but great sacrifices must be made to become the apex predator. To fully become ... THE EXTERMINATOR. Seppl Flintenhuber  Nobody remembers what Seppl's original, parent-given, name was. All anyone knows is that he is what dwarves call a "bayraboo" - Someone so fascinated by a specific ancient dwarven culture that they model their entire lifestyle around it. Seppl swears his chosen name, leather shorts-based look, blond dyed beard and copious beer consumption even by dwarven standards are all very respectful ways to keep the history of the Bavarois dwarves alive, of course. His other hobbies include carving elaborate balconies out of wood, practicing the archaic language with phrases like "Zwoa Hoibe san aa a Läbakassemme!", putting stickers saying "BMW" onto company property when nobody's looking, and taxidermy. ZZ "The Top" Conan  Every crew needs a backbone. The reasonable one who keeps the ship afloat, the course straight, the shenanigans to a minimum. Born into a family of engineers, ZZ was named after the second most volatile dwarven element, setting him up for a life of science, tinkering, and of course many, many explosions (mostly within parameters). ZZ graduated from Unkar's Academy For Ordinances, High-Powered Lasers & Artistic Beard Styling with honors and then promptly chose the single most dangerous job assignment he could find. All in the name of science, of course. Someone has to use their vast intellect on the wildest of dwarven frontiers, after all, and ZZ is clearly the most reasonable, focused dwarf for the job. You didn't see any weird robotic arms and unsanctioned lasers coming out of his guns, did you? Exactly. half a kumquat fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Apr 7, 2024 |

It's kind of amazing how fun dwarf dress-up is. Genuinely not sure the game would've had as much staying power if these stubby lil' goobers weren't our player characters.

Tbf, I'm not that far into the game yet and I don't have nearly enough cosmetics unlocked to make a passable "costume" or theme for even one of my dwarves.  I just started on my first engineer and so far I just slap on anything that looks silly.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/548430/view/4195740093438639600?l=english Q&A stuff about reactivating past seasons. The biggest takeaway is that you can go back and work through old performance passes and cosmetic trees for the stuff. Seasonal stuff won't be in cargo crates/lost packs/etc anymore. Also special note: quote:As part of this, we’re replacing the “Disable Season Content” option with a season simply called Vanilla. This option has no associated Performance Pass, and a balanced chance to spawn Events and Warnings from all seasons. Relyssa fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Apr 8, 2024 |
