I think Needletick would be more fun and more valuable if the collapse status displayed how much damage it would do to a health bar once it expires. Imagine something like the health bar indicator for Guillotine, but each stack of collapse makes the bar longer. Once you see it overtake the current HP of your enemy, you know when to stop attacking it. This would also allow the player to see how much damage they can realistically do with their collapse stacks, so they know if they need to invest in more attack speed or other sources of damage. Edit: some typos
I like watching runs where you just do weird shit or use "bad" items/skills. Those videos specifically help me understand the game and get better runs! :)
This is just an appreciation comment for you race !! I got my e8 gold badge yesterday and I never would've started if i hadn't been watching your content so thank you!! Your videos and VODs constantly keep me entertained, you're an absolute legend
This is a comment for Kami appreciation. Amazing edits👍🏽 Doing the extra work of grabbing all the chat. Thank you for all you do😁 As an exclusive youtube watcher(hard to watch stream due to time difference) I would want more videos, but given the quality of each video, I am more than content
Chat mentioned the plimp/ATG discourse, so I would like to put in my two cents. I feel like a somewhat neglected element of the plimp vs. ATG discourse is the item economy. I've noticed that when most people compare the two items, the comparison is often made between either an atg or a plimp. The question is typically asked in a vacuum and we often compare proc coefficents and damage of one stack of either item. However, in an actual run, this either/or dynamic is inapplicable, as the choice is never between one atg or one plimp. It is often a choice between an atg or two plimps. More specifically, it is a choice between an x amount of ATGs and a minimum of x+1 plimps. Choosing to use ATGs instead of plimp means at minimum losing out on 1 plimps of potential damage, whereas choosing plimps means you will benefit from the ATGs as well when they corrupt. Choosing ATGs is almost always a damage loss for this reason as you'd have to be leaving an item on the floor. Even with clover, you would have to consider if the boosted proc chance to ATGs gives enough of a damage boost over losing the extra damage from +1 plimp. Although, I am truthfully unsure which would be better. Is what I am saying make sense? Am i mistaken when I say that the item economy is not considered in this discussion? Am I mathing this out wrong? I would like to hear people's thoughts.
@tcghosted As I wrote, it's x ATGs vs. x+1 plimp. If you have no ATGs, then the choice is no ATGs right now, and praying for more later or 1 plimp now plus whatever ATGs you find later. The question becomes, "Do I hold out for chance to get an ATG or do I grab a plimp now?" In all contexts, you're leaving one of the best damage items on the floor. But none of that is even relevant, as I can't think of a situation where you wouldn't grab a plimp if you don't have ATGs. Like, maybe if you're playing rex and you want to use the self-damage skills, you want to scrap any ATGs you find later, or it's a void potential and the other options are safer spaces, plute, or larva, but all of that goes beyond the scope of the discussion. The question of "which one is better?" is only relevant in a run when you can actually choose between ATGs or plimps.
@@brand3973 i honestly don’t think it’s a worthwhile discussion at all. any scenario where you wouldn’t pick up a plimp is just too rare. ATG is great, but plimp is guaranteed extra damage just for having shield. it’s way too good to ever pass up.
i really enjoyed the modded survivor vids. i know most of em aren’t exactly balanced but it’s nice seeing something created by the community that fits into vanilla.
14:37 honestly anything you do I'll probably enjoy, especially risk of rain. As for specific I love multiplayer. With 3 or 4 people could be interesting.
I think more challenge runs could be fun, but the issue with that is coming up with interesting ideas for runs that also aren't completely awful to play
13:46 you mentioned that before I believe the reason this would be a fair mechanic, espically now is due to the extra more chests implemented making the Void Fields basically another stage instead of hidden one with a different from of Risk and Reward.
to be honest man i simply don't have patience to follow a stream schedule or a non cut down stream, I've hopped in stream a few times to ask a question or say hi but i love your house rules you play by and have adopted them myself, that being said; keeping it interesting with mods, events and id love to see more e8 content with other creators, keep it up!
I M P L O D E. *crunch* the sheer level of damage that collapse can deal in one go is insane. biggest issue is that one stack of it can easily kill a player, but enemies can tank one or two stacks no problem. having that be more balanced might work, but i have no idea lol sick run tho, always interesting to me how many builds you can make in ror2
I like when you post god runs and cope runs. and I think going back to people seeds would still make a good series. VOD review could be okay but runs take forever. maybe you can do a quick VOD review like 5 minutes clipped together and how they die THEN do the seed they had
You know i don't think having 9 ticks is good for you. Does Petrichor V have a hospital? Okay actually bad idea they might try to murder you there as well.
Do you have a video/clip explaining how to skip pillars at the end without Milky/Vase equipments? Is it literally just falling off with safer spaces and the momentum sends you back up? Or gotta time a jump?
Hey Race, I'm not sure if you even have control over this but do you think any more VODs are ever gonna get posted to the Risk of Resources UA-cam channel? It's been a few months since anything got posted there. If not it's okay, I just don't have time to watch them on Twitch so I enjoyed watching them there
Hello, Race. Can I ask for either a YT Short or something for a tutorial to safely go down to the Void Fields from Bazaar for survivors without much mobility? I vaguely remember you made a quick tutorial for it in one of your vids but idk what exact video it was. ... or is it impossible to go to Void Fields as Engineer without item mobilities like Hopoo Feather... Thanks!
@RacesVideos I like to look at things from the player's mindset. Trying to understand patterns and movements they make so I can compare it to my own gameplay. 🤘
speaking of modded runs, I was always kinda curious the opinion of someone with so much knowledge of the ins and outs of RoR2, how do you think things like Starstorm 2 or Mystics Items affect the overall balance of the game? I love to see the modded ideas people come up with but it kinda puts a sour taste in my mouth if it feels like those ideas are just handing a win over because they're too good. (ignoring the condemned bond of course because that already is a completely broken item to be able to get stage 2 every single run)
last captain run I got 2 red printers stage 5 and one of them was headset and then got an atg and ICBM soup on moon, I'm just telling you guys cus it's cool
He was considering scrapping his other whites and didn’t want to scrap the hoof so he would have come back for it after scrapping if he hadn’t changed his mind
Is there anyone who has dissected how the magma worm AI works? that thing remains mysterious to me after several hundred hours in this game. Might make for good content for anyone willing to look into it.
@@RacesVideos dude what??? Thank you for the reply. I would have never guessed that. It truly feels random to me how it maneuvers in the fight, especially if it gets distracted somehow by a gunner turret across the map.
Is Hostile Worlds really cancelled? Looked like one of the most awful things I’ve ever seen. The “new survivors” looked like they were worked up in the imagination of Bobby KoDick. “Field doctor”, “Technomancer”, “Unbound”. Wtf? The ability to “switch between survivors” like this is Genshin Impact? The whole project was, in my opinion, spitting upon the legacy of RoR.
16:00 which like theres terrible Ironic expectation to be nice, when critism isn't nice it's Good and Important just not nice. You need that, however being a Xi construct makes your point that whether not is wrong harder to hear, so you need to be respectful in showing you do itend it to be so the person grows and changes, not to put it down.

Probably one of the best ideas I’ve seen
actually a cool idea, im sure people would like it a lot more if they realized actually how much damage it does (a lot)
someone post here if this mod ever gets made please i'd add it instantly
Thats literally the reason why I take bleed over collapse
Pretty sure Hestia's burn effect does this in Hades 2 and it's such a nice touch
26:44 you are my comfort streamer. Dan is my discomfort streamer.
Disputed is my Rage streamer
I like watching runs where you just do weird shit or use "bad" items/skills. Those videos specifically help me understand the game and get better runs! :)
I just made a gilled cheese and now I have this fire video to watch as I eat
Gilled cheese 🐟 🧀
If only my cheese had gills. That would be awesome.
awesome

it’s not uncommon at all to find a plimp before finding an ATG, so this ATG vs 2 plimps argument seems kinda moot.

Hey Race, I wanted to also say that co-op runs are a lot of fun to watch and listen to!
29:50 and 29:58
I like how Race casually ignores the Z-Fighting going on right there.
i really enjoyed the modded survivor vids. i know most of em aren’t exactly balanced but it’s nice seeing something created by the community that fits into vanilla.
I was really enjoying the race content with disputed and other runners. It was a really interesting way to spread the wealth in the RIsk community.
14:37 honestly anything you do I'll probably enjoy, especially risk of rain.
As for specific I love multiplayer. With 3 or 4 people could be interesting.
I think more challenge runs could be fun, but the issue with that is coming up with interesting ideas for runs that also aren't completely awful to play
The best Risk of Rain sound is a map of poisoned enemies ticking away.
"collapse is so op" - hidding the clover icb
"This enemy is already dead, he just doesn't know it yet."
My favorite build ever was huntress with capped crit, Shatterspleen, and capped collapse
13:46 you mentioned that before I believe the reason this would be a fair mechanic, espically now is due to the extra more chests implemented making the Void Fields basically another stage instead of hidden one with a different from of Risk and Reward.

Funny you think rainbolt doesn't already know where you live
As another "watched everything you've put out since month one" ill watch anything you put out. I'd love to see some slay the spire for example
When I get collapse I complain, when there’s a void seed, the collapse is too op lmao

Working on it! It’ll happen soon, in the meantime can always watch the twitch vods even though I’m sure it’s not ideal for you
@@RacesVideos No problem man, just been missing my fix of the races and I don't use twitch really. Thank you very much!
i liked the runs where you had to loop out of necessity
collapse
prolapse
I'd like to see informative gameplay, recording good/difficult/cope runs and explain your thought process for decisions you make.
I want to see the sickest mythrix fights! :)

Someone pays attention to

Been watchin for awhile lol pretty much all i know from this game is from you and i didnt know that blast shower reset spaces smh < noob
ranking vid?

Next time someone mentions the 5min strat I'm going to show them this video.
If proc coefficients effect how long bleed lasts, how does that affect collapse?
i may be completely wrong but i think it gives collapse more damage
Yeah
Fairly new to the game, can anyone explain to me why he doesn't pick up the Hoove at 8:11?

Unfortunately I can't remember the name but it's from vampire survivors
@@ezrastewart543 Thanks, I found it! It's Libro Inferno.
what happened to the frost relic?
Did he not ever pick up the snowflake? I didn't see him reroll it or pick it up

Try a tank mod run sometime if you haven't! Tank is fun :3
whats the mod for the commando cowboy hat
The mandr mod
