My friend refused to download this game because he doesn’t believe a 1GB6 game can have good contents... Yeah....

[@weirdslime262]

From what I can gather after watching Dev streams and such, the reason why the new missions are so drastically different from the old ones is that Ghost Ship actually has the resources and know-how to implement them now. For instance, I'm pretty sure I heard them say that the new pipes from the on-site refinery mission were almost entirely programmed by their newest hire. I'm looking forward to more mission types down the line, they've really raised the bar now.

[@ohno5507]

Me and my fiance were completely caught off guard by the quality of the missions. They both introduce new mechanics we didn't think were possible for the game, and are very satisfying. I never thought building pipes would be what I wanted for DRG. Before the update, we saw nothing of the teased content, and only saw the names, and speculated on a slog of an escort where we potentially defend a shitty mule, or on site refinery just being point extraction 2.0, but we were completely wrong, and blown away. While the old missions are still good, these new ones really make them look basic, and show just how strong of a development team GSG is. Also, I miss the old ping sound as well. The only reason I can think they changed it is so it's not as annoying when someone is rage spamming it, but it is so non-distinct that marking minerals for engineers in pubs has felt totally useless. I can mark the same mineral vein 50 times next to my engineer, but he's unaware because the sound is muddled by the rest of the booming sounds, and the notice on the HUD is small, and shoved in the corner. The only way to circumvent this is to type in chat "platform please", and while that works, it's easy to get swept by your frustrations and accidentally be more bitchy than you really want to be.

[@ohno5507]

@Nils Grønkjær I don't see how that speaks to someone's fragility, but... okay? I've come across a couple people who did rage spam it, and it kind of is annoying, but more because it's just annoying to deal with assholes in a relatively casual game.

[@TrairFrair]

@@matthewcox69 think of it as an exercise in timing, then. Did you detonate too early? Try again only wait a half second later. Did you hit the wall and not your target? Detonate a half second sooner. If you play hotter colder with your timing, you will eventually make the shot and learn how to adjust. This is a muscle memory thing though, takes some practice

[@StrikerV3]

Another boss battle idea: You are sent to locate and find a damaged mining rig that has lost transmission. You get there but nothing is left but the beaten up remains of the rig. It was meant to be there awhile so it has a now damaged perimeter fence to stop any creeps getting to it via ground. But that can be repaired. But you’ll have to fight a waves of bugs till it’s done, after which you get to enjoy it sizzling away at the remaining stragglers. If you choose to ignore the fence that’s fine. There are a few empty sentry guns that could use some ammo. If your engineer is willing to spare some. Again optional. But the main reason you’re there is to send the rocket of precious liquid morkite to the surface. So you do that. The ground starts shaking. Enemies begin to swarm and it’s a fight for survival. Wave after wave, enemies getting bigger and tougher to kill till finally it stops. You think it’s over. Mission control comes over the radio, completely at a loss for words as to what he is seeing on his scanners. It’s what killed the miners before you, what destroyed that fence and emptied those turrets. It then bursts from the ground and its a fight for survival to kill or be killed. You have to target certain parts so that it opens its weakness to you. Failure to juggle killing minor enemies with doing dmg will result in the beast letting off a brutal attack. (This is all just the groundwork. I hope the dev’s see this or it gets to them some how. None of it is set in stone and how the fight finally goes is up to them. And yes. This is a starship troopers reference hehe)

Great overview! Thanks!

[@nophlast4237]

Your guides on grenades and the EPC have been VERY helpful, please continue in these kinds of videos as there is a severe lack of guides to see and helps green beards like me really know how to use the tools I’m given. Thank you.

[@clairvoyantblade9534]

Regarding the new mission types. Well you summed up my feelings. This new missions feel so different and refreshing that the old ones feel... old. But like you said it is a good thing and it felt well thought. Regarding the sounds. Now i know why I missed most pings. But on the other hand it ferls more realistic playing the game. Also: I recommend some of my friends watching your videos regarding different playstyles and ideas and also so that they try the game out.

[@FuttBucker420]

I was so excited to use hyper propellant with Engi's PGL, but before the buff it was just so bad. Hardly any damage, didn't travel quite fast enough, didn't do too much to armor. Now though, I'm definitely going to try it again.

[@El-Burrito]

It's literally a rocket launcher. I still don't like using it because you sacrifice so much AoE damage from either the regular PGL or the breach cutter. But it is a very cool overclock

[@agedgouda8809]

So glad a lot of the sounds have been reverted since this video. They changed around some of the end screen victory emote sounds as well, making the three point landing sound like a pebble dropping on carpet rather than a burly dwarf carrying a hundred pounds of armor. That got fixed, we got our ping sound back, I’ve either gotten used to the new gem sounds or those got reverted, I can’t tell or remember rly. My only issue was the red sugar. I don’t mind the swarmer tunnel sounds, but red sugar used to sound very soft and fragile, almost comforting considering how much it helped, and now it just sounds like nitra pretty much.

Great video, the quality made me subscribe. One of the best DRG videos I have ever seen!

[@DarkBonesDaku]

The only two changed Overclocks you didn't mention in the last segment of the video are RJ250 and Active Stability System. Since you asked so kindly in the intro, I'll share my thoughts about these OCs. As for Active Stability System, the change to include a focus charge time increase carves out a clear niche for the OC: it is now the best option for focus shot DPS. It's actually slightly better DPS to spam focus shots with this OC now than it is to spam hipfire shots with no OC (but slightly worse than Minimal Clips thanks to the reload time decrease on that OC.) This is a niche that was sorely missing before in my opinion, and it's just about an auto pick for me because previously I would almost always use focus shots on big targets anyway to maximize my efficiency with the 25% focus shot damage boost from Killer Focus. The ability to move at full speed while charging also helps the weapon to feel much more natural and aids in lining up difficult shots against targets such as praetorians. RJ250 is not an OC that particularly caters to my own playstyle; however, I have a friend who is a scout main who swears by this OC now. She says that before, the OC's jumping launches just felt stilted and awkward, and she really had to finagle to get where she wanted to go--and be ready with platforms in case something went wrong. Now the OC gives you more control over the direction and force of your launch, and it feels a lot more "right" to her. She says that she goes where she expects to go when she uses it to jump, which is really what you want from a rocket jump in any game! It might be slightly less predictable, but it's also more natural, which I think is a fair trade off. Neither of these changes are anything that will redefine the way you play the class or use the OC; however, they do support existing playstyles much more effectively than before. In other words, yet more fantastic changes from this update!

[@PsychicSploob]

I'm def gonna have to give those a try

[@videonmode8649]

These new missions are great. But I kinda wish the Extraction mission would get an update of some sort. It's my least favorite overall.

[@armintor2826]

I wanna see the extraction rig updated. Visualy its dated especially compared to the oil rig

[@garrettmccullough2249]

Point extraction? I find if you like the challenge those can be some of the toughest. Virtually all of the missions I've failed has been on Point Extraction. If you or your team isn't working fast enough or you happened to have a Crassus Bulk Detonator go off you will probably get overwhelmed in no time with the short swarm spawn timer and constantly increasing passive spawns. Even haz 3 can be tough on those. But so epic. I had 6 bulk detonators spawn on a haz 3 point extraction. By 15 minutes we were unable to kill all the bugs before more were coming in lol it was insane.

One disagreement I have with you is that I still think the Breach Cutter will see heavy use on mission types like egg, mining, and refinery, though I guess you could say that Plasma Bursters can kind of fill that role just fine. Still a great and unique gun overall.

While I do enjoy the missions, I do have a few nitpicks for escort. I dislike how bugs can clip inside of the treads and attack while inside of the drilldozer. Additionally, I dont like that bugs will only attack one side until it dies, which is annoying. It feels really weird to have a slasher attacking on one side of the drilldozer doing damage to the other side. This might just be a bug though. I love all the weapon tweaks, though. Im getting great Mileage out of the embedded detonator overclocks. I really like the nuke + lure combo as well now that the lure wont break. I enjoy the buffed active stability system on the m1000 as well and the combat mobility for the autocannon, especially for dreadnaughts. Overall, its a very exciting update, and this is a great video to come along with it!

I'm just gonna comment this in case you will answer, but what is the song that starts the video? And also all the other songs? Most people making DRG stuff use stuff from DRG which is easy enough to find but I can't find the music in your videos and I kinda like them. Either way this channel is probably the best DRG channel I've watched stuff from. It's like a dangitjm for DRG. In fact I'm not entirely sure you aren't the same person. This game sucked me in with its atmosphere and my love of dwarves, but the extremely satisfying design and surprising depth has had me hooked for the past few months. If every game were like DRG and every channel about a game were like this one then that'd be alright with me.

I do miss the old ping sound as well, but the rest of the sound changes seem pretty good to me. I found the old flare bouncing noise to be extremely jarring for how it sounded like a metallic echo regardless of distance while the flare itself looked extremely light and disposable with the way it moved. The new terrain noises seem to fit pretty well in my experience. I think the new ice terrain mining noise is my favorite as it sounds less like stone. All that said I really don't think your concerns are nitpicks. Sound design is a big part of the experience, so if it's not working for you it can be a major complaint. Hopefully they keep iterating on the sound design as the game evolves and we can have an even more immersive cave experience that works for everyone.

[@muffincatgames]

This Update is probably the biggest one to date and it really shows! The amount of care the Devs put into this is incredible! Definitely one of my favourites! Though, I do agree with those new sounds! Been playing DRG for well over a year, so to suddenly have to adapt to new noises is a bit jarring. Most I am fine with, but the Ping is incredibly weakened. As a Scout, it can sometimes make it hard to notice when someone pings something, especially if I am far off and don't hear their Dwarf chatter. Luckily, I like DRG Loud, so more often than not, I'll hear the Ping. But playing DRG at 200% is not exactly a fix for this problem... I don't think switching back to the old sound fixes the problem, instead, I think the best option would be in the middle. *Cause let's be honest, we all love that old Noise, but it could damn well be annoying sometimes lol*

[@boomstickYT]

The breach cutter honestly didn’t get nerfed that hard. It’s still really good. As for my opinions on the new missions I think escort duty is new favorite. It does have issues like engineer being kind of tedious to play as if you want to really help out you need to keep placing down your turret while doretta is moving and shooting platforms for your scout. Also playing escort solo basically just isn’t happening. Bosco is helpful but not enough. My thoughts on how to fix this was to give solo players the ability to stop doretta once or twice manually. Dorettas ai is also wonky. On site refinery is a lot of fun and it basically have no complaints but overall I enjoy escort more just barely. Great update. I hope escort gets a few tweaks though. Edit: forgot to add this but escort duty shares exp values with elimination. This means 250 Morkite runs give more exp. Escort duty definitely takes longer than all Morkite runs except maybe 400 so I think the exp value should be changed to reflect that + I don’t like the new sounds either minus a few exceptions

[@ayejonno]

one thing that bothers me a little bit with the new missions is that there are clear advantages as to what classes make the new missions significantly easier, and as a result which classes make the mission almost impossible in solo play. i dont personally play the game solo since i find it less fun, but prior to these new missions it felt like every mission type was viable for whatever class you wanted to play solo, or at least that period of time before someone decides to join your game. for example, i loaded up a haz5 refinery as gunner and found it very difficult to build pipes to hard to reach areas before a driller was able to load in. i can also imagine escort being nearly impossible solo for a scout. this is probably really only an issue on haz5 anyway, which i play exclusively so i dont know if on other hazard levels this is an issue at all. overall though, i really love the new update as well!

[@PsychicSploob]

Haz 5 mule repairs as a solo scout were really brutal. I don't think the game is balanced to be played solo, although it is theoretically possible. The on-site refining missions definitely favor driller or engie, and I think that's just a consequence of the complexity of these missions ramping up in comparison with the base missions.

[@ayejonno]

@@PsychicSploob Good point. I guess what separates escort from other missions is that you begin the objective a couple minutes into loading in since the opening cave usually isn’t that large. In this sense the mission sort of requires that you have a team setup right at the start.

[@victornguyen1175]

I think as a solo game, you're expected to pick the class that suits the missions you're trying to complete. There's nothing stopping you from doing most missions as whatever class, and it makes sense that the game would feel a bit lacking in content diversity if you played solo only ever as one class. Reminds me of older single player games where you were given choices of characters for different missions, where some characters were undoubtedly better than others.

[@CoolSs]

you know what . I am glad they added two missions instead of new class . also i believe adding new weapons is more interesting unless they add some dwarf as good as *victor saltzpyre* >:3

[@chillmac64]

One time I did a drill dozer mission solo and I couldn’t get the lasers so I had to repay the drill dozer and it died as soon as it broke through Won btw

[@49mozzer]

My main issue with escort duty is that it's almost impossible solo on higher hazard levels.

[@MrBlaze9225]

Cool video man. Stopped playing since none of my friends do and I maxed out all my dwarves. Maybe I'll come back, but most likely will be after they add a 5th class

[@snipergunner1761]

It'll be highly unlikely that they do, it ruins the team play. And if you think about it objectively, you'll see that. Also my friends don't play it either, but I find groups online when I play with randoms that invite me when we play together, do you not have that?

[@MrBlaze9225]

@@snipergunner1761 I don't see how what would be a bad thing no. And also I've enjoyed randoms, but everything is better with friends right? We do enjoy other games but since I am usually the one that enjoys the endgame stuff it sucks

[@El-Burrito]

I agree with your misgivings about the sound changes, they didn't seem necessary to me.

[@newtstudios5494]

I love the refinery one but I would also like a horde mode

[@placeholder4029]

What build are you using for the voltaic smg?

[@PsychicSploob]

I was running with B,C,A,A,A, with EM Refire Booster OC

[@joshb3219]

Escape mission?

[@MrGameNuke]

I wanna use the EPC like you when I grow up

[@MrGameNuke]

Sloob's usage of TCF during combat is impressive with or w/o controller imo. And I've only played on keyboard myself lol

[@RapunzelRed]

Still use the Gemini system, still bring extra ammo. It needs it imo

[@dustybones316]

I remember almost deleting the game but when update came out i was like: "well... S*&^ now i got to play it" and i love the new update its amazing

This guy is like a less jaded Sabuuchi

[@Terminarch]

Escort is easily my favorite mission type because there are actually roles for each class besides pathfinding. Like gunner in the rock phase and driller in the last. One thing though. Refining SUCKS ARGONIAN BALLS solo. EDIT: Also ping me on DRG Discord if you want to play. I do all classes.
