With #8 I have to wonder if the reason people feel like overlocks for their "mains" are less likely to be offered, if that is because of their bias in picking those overclocks initially. Thus making the other 3 classes even more likely to be offered since their pools are greater.

[@TheLegendOfFLG]

Yup, its all apart of the conspi- I mean, illusion.

[@TheHappiestHusky]

It's still odd,, I'm a new player and. I've gone through each class to promote them one at a time, and engie I've done last. I have gotten double the engie overclocks as I have collected for the other classes. Especially during gunner who I did third

[@josh___something]

@@TheHappiestHusky that's just how the dice rolls panned out. With smaller sample sizes, the chances that one of an equally likely event occurs more often are more frequent. (Ex. Rolling a dice 6 times vs rolling it 6000 times.)

[@nivannakingsman1383]

Came here to comment this. But it does feel a bit bs I've only got gunner weapon colors. And mostly scout overclocks despite not playing those classes. I have 1 driller and 2 engi overclocks.

[@ImagesOfAustin]

@@TheLegendOfFLG During the time I was looking for overclocks I never really noticed this. But I promoted all my characters fairly evenly and didn't really care which character I got them for. And also, it didn't seem like it took very long to actually get all the overclocks. Perhaps these scrubs need to get better at deep dives and they wouldn't have so much trouble getting all of them.

Playing Aquarq missions is like playing risk of rain, time is your enemy

[@Eleven217]

You saw that last EDD, didn't you?

[@thecrazypain9978]

One that was left out: scanning a mini mule does not activate a large wave, but rather just being near one for the first time will always spawn a large wave 12-30s afterwards. so the "correct" strat is to take your time and keep your distance from the mules, and if you do go near them, a scan can help give an early warning to your team. This isn't clearly shown to you while playing the game, so all it took was someone with some confidence to tell me "scanning is bad" and then to have a bulk spawn pretty much on top of me to believe them. I believed this myth until I did the sensible thing and looked it up but the damage was already done since I had also shown that same confidence when telling such a myth.

[@thebigiron2950]

Personally, I just don't scan because I like the scavenger hunt for finding legs

[@abd-animation-22]

I thought digging the legs trigger the mini wave

[@Rob-ex8st]

my favourite thing to do is to get legs, chuck them next to a mule from distance, go in and quickly assemble the mule before the wave gets to me, then kite the wave on the way to the next mule

[@HeyImJerry]

That part about the overclocks also has another issue, They are pulled from a pool of options and you likley already have quite a few for your main thus lowering its total count and making the others more likely to spawn

[@Alchemyst326]

I was wondering about this. It seemed like the video was implying that the game chose the overclock's class first and then drew from the remaining options for that class.

The satchel may not destroy minerals but it does fling them everywhere at high speed meaning getting them all is actually a much bigger job than just using the pickaxe

[@UrzaderGehasste]

01:55 Yes and No. The minerals will count to the rewards BUT will not grant any EXP. That's a known bug, that probably will never be fixed 'cause it's such a small amount of EXP you might be missing out. But if you have to wait anyways before you can leave you should empty your pockets.

[@TheLegendOfFLG]

Nope, according to ghost ship games as my source. Exp in Deep Rock triggers when minerals enter your pockets, not molly. Thats how they built the game according to them. You say it's known but when I research this or go to any reputable sources, I only find what I put in the video. This is why people continue to gather morkite even after they have it all. For more xp.

[@UrzaderGehasste]

@@TheLegendOfFLG Thats how it was supposed to work - and why the current state is a bug not a feature. ;) You can continue to mine morkite - but if you want to get the exp you have to deposit it. AxisKronos made a video about it a couple months ago: watch?v=C0YtLHwCHPs Or test it for yourself - for the slim chance to proof it got fixed by now.^^

[@Fourger14]

Good video, but you missed an exception for the "stuff in bags counts even if not deposited" section. Nitra has no non-XP value, so the catch the devs use for player bags doesn't work on it. You won't get XP for nitra that you do not deposit. So depositing nitra before you go in is smart if the situation is under control and you have time, and depositing anything that needed to be carried, or is a secondary objective item. Secondary objective items all count for the objective if deposited, and also only have an XP value for pure collection, so will only count if deposited. A small XP boost is not worth wiping the team, however, so just go straight in when the situation is dire, knowing your precious crafting minerals, gold, and beer plants in your pockets will count.

[@lordtritus2261]

The thing about Aquarq missions is that sometimes the last Aquarq is no where to be found so the amount of time you spend looking for it passes by very quickly and so do the growing number of Glyphids. I ven had to fight a Dreadnought 2 times on Hazard 2.

[@pocketbarrels]

Don't Aquaraq missions gradually increase in hazard level over time or is THAT a myth?

[@user-mr6hc9hy2t]

@@pocketbarrels hazard levels affect a variety of values, such as bug hp, damage, movespeed and projectile speed. These things are not at all affected by the Aquarq mission timer. Longer timer just makes for bigger mini-swarms, which increases the chance of more dangerous types of bugs spawning. At the start you see mostly grunts, while toward the end of the mission is usually when I have encountered the naturally spawning Dreadnaughts.

I heard a rumor once that if you stared straight down at the ground, phase bombs wouldn't spawn on you because they only spawn where you can't see for the "surprise" factor GSG like to utilize. I have done it sometimes and it seemed to work, until it didn't. Haha. Although, one thing I haven't tried is maxxing out the FOV to see if that would have an effect on this. Unless that later part would have an effect, I am fairly certain that isn't true.

[@MediaMunkee]

I can only assume that is someone's misinterpretation of one of LazyMaybe's videos, because he has a quick aside mentioning that "if you look down the phase bombs can't get you" followed by a short gameplay clip demonstrating what he means -- which is simply that if one spawns near you, even from behind, you'll be able to see its AoE circle clearly if you're inside it.

Danny devito has a cameo in this video

[@Dunzification]

I was wondering, does collecting mission objectives beyond the required amount still give you xp? Like let's say I've got 200/200 morkite, does mining more beyond that give me xp? What about booloo caps or gunk seeds?

[@TheLegendOfFLG]

I deleted an entire section on this topic. Yes it does, not sure about secondaries though. It's only 1 xp, but if you have a double xp mission with morkite beer, in a haz 4 or 5, 3 mission length morkite mission. You can actually get tons of extra xp by mining more then needed. I never knew this and used to think it was useless, but it turns out you can keep getting xp this way. (Only worth it for double xp missions tbh)

[@Half_a_bosco]

First off I forgot were I got this info, I think it was from Axiskronos, so Evan tho in 99% sure it’s correct take it with a grain of salt. Both primary and secondary objectives give you exp if you already have it, for example I believe that Mushrooms and flowers (I forgot how to spell the real name) give you 5 exp per, and each extra aquarks gives you 15 more exp.

[@LegunaB]

@@TheLegendOfFLG 000,0

[@Fourger14]

As stated by others, yes, and "minerals mined" gives much more XP than "enemies killed" so don't scoff at it if you need XP, but the worth of the mining time goes up a lot when the hazard level and other bonuses are high. More risk = more reward.

MYTH: Drillers always c4 their allies on purpose, especially the scout. This myth needs to die because its a fact; its part of their tutorial. Its not a myth.

[@turmspitzewerk]

4:24 they may have greater spawn chances for mission length, but that doesn't mean they're better. the two to three times larger spawn rates are just to compensate for the two to three times longer missions. there's no reason to worry about mission length's effects on event spawns when playing normally. if you do want to specifically grind machine events and care about nothing else, then the only important thing to know is to play on arquarq missions. since they're just one big room, you can quickly sweep the area and reset without having to go through a long area. but again, if you're playing normally this still doesn't really matter if you're exploring every cave regardless.

[@TheLegendOfFLG]

To further comment and simplify the aquarq mission debate. The bug spawns are simply based around how much time you have spent in the mission. In my personal experience, it gets worse specifically after each swarm. However that's just an old beards findings and the swarm thing could be incorrect. Edit: It's "bug" not "big" curse you autocorrect.

[@satanielgaming]

Definitely agree that Aquarqs (typo) don't increase upon depositing, but I do 100% believe waves occur WHEN you dislodge the Aquarq (typo) from the wall/ground.

Here's a myth: point extraction spawns can bug out into infinity. I had games where 15-minutes in it felt like hordes don't end. If it's not true, I'd like to know how it happens. There are seriously runs where there's no time to carry the aquarks. Especially when it happens on a solo run.

I wanna add: Pots of gold USED to work like that. It's why people think it still does, some people just never saw the patch notes. Now mined gold correctly overflows into the chunks that don't fit into your pockets! Mine away, Miners. Just don't carve gold with other methods!

[@Real_RUBB3R]

Keep in mind that the gold mined has to come directly from your pickaxe, you can't dig behind an entire crassus bowl with your drills and then dig out one little bit with your pickaxe to convert everything with Pots, because all of that extra gold broken works the same exact way as blowing it up or digging the terrain behind it does

[@Real_RUBB3R]

You will always get the xp for total minerals collected by the team, as that number permanently goes up whenever you collect nitra, gold, etc. However, things that grant credits like gold or crafting minerals, must be deposited in order to be counted at the end of the mission for hazard bonuses and such. This is the case even outside of Deep Dives

It's a PE mission feature. You get ambushes timed, based on haz level and then swarms without any warning. It's why I use those missions to build test because it's an easy bug generator that gets more difficult as you go. Also have to have your nitra gathering skills down because it's ammo demanding.

I am a believer of the conspiracy theory. My main thought is that I /should/ have a relatively even amount of overclocks for every class, yet it has a much greater bias for every other class. I have about 5-8 for the other classes, but only 2 for gunner. Maybe I'm just incredibly unlucky (which I am, but that's besides the point.)

[@SkreD]

In a total of 25 overclocks, I received 2 for engineer, 3 for driller. And the rest for gunner and scout that I NEVER played.

My question is : Does Calling the escape pod cancel the wave ?

[@TheLegendOfFLG]

I believe so. It's noticeable when you pop a bunch of eggs, they saw swarms are coming, but when you hit the button it's just the normal amount of escape pod bugs.

[@PhilipLL]

There might actually be a reason why it seems you allways get overclocks for the wrong classes. Say you have a pool of 10 overclocks per dwarf. And you loot 7 crates where you can choose between 3. And you allways choose your main when possible. Say you get 4x main, and 1x for every other. Given it gives you three random oc's for 3 random dwarfs. There is now 33 OC left, and an 18% chance to get your main, and a 27% chance for every other class.

Regarding the Pots O' Gold and Exploding Minerals myths... One thing that's always bothered me about mining with a full bucket or non-pickaxe mining is the scraps. When you mine small portions of minerals( the ones that would typically give you less than 1 unit) with a full bucket, they don't drop a chunk. That small quantity is seemingly just deleted. I'm guessing there's a minimum amount for it to be converted into a chunk entity. Over the whole perimeter of a large vein, I have to assume that adds up to at least a few units. So are we actually wasting some minerals, or am I just paranoid?

[@samgraffen9212]

Yes, although it usually only amounts to 2-4 units worth over the course of the mission. Their was a deep dive many months ago that was bugged to where only the exact amount of morkite spawned in to fulfill the secondary, and if you mined even a single bit while having a full inventory (or used bosco) it would delete the 1> chunks and make the mission impossible to complete.

[@isr4el187]

I literally got hover and hipster as my last weapon overclocks, literally the last 2 for all classes. I main scout and wanted them so bad and the game made me work for it.

[@raphaelsolo]

I can see how the overclock one seems true, promoted my driller first and all my core rewards were for Gunner and Engineer, same after promoting my Scout. I can't seem to get driller OCs to save my life.

[@failatlife1]

On aquark missions: depositing an aquark does or doesn't spawn an ambush? I swear it does, but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't and it's just a coincidence.

[@Alexey0795]

1:53 what about deep dive? will resources be counted twice?

[@problyNotJava]

we're dwarves killing spiders for a living just to spend it all tipping lloyd of course we'd fall for every single logical fallacy in existence

[@Kannolias]

what graphical effects do you have in your gameplay? it's really cool looking

[@daviddavidson2357]

"But for now, have you seen this?" Arrow points at black screen. It's always strange when YT cards don't work lol.

[@poisenbery]

All I did was play scout initially, and all of the OC's I got were for engineer and driller. They were all for weapons that I dont even have unlocked yet =/ I'm pretty sure overclock acquisition is linked to class playtime I've heard a lot of people say "it only seems like that" but in my experience, I get more OC's for classes I do not play regularly

[@BlackTeishin]

if you grab all the overclocks for the class you main there are less for the game to pull out of the pool, so it'll be more likely to have the other3 classes

[@Pivitrix]

Doing gods work.

[@Nugire]

If I mine the earth around gold, but use a pick to destroy the last supporting piece of gold, does pots'o'gold trigger for all drops?

[@Her_Imperious_Condescension]

Some of these myths are just... strange. Although, on exploded minerals not yielding the same amount, that's... partially true, only in a technical sense. Yes, they'll _yield_ the same amount (dark morkite/pots notwithstanding) but since the EPC scatters the mineral chunks all over the fricken solar system, you won't *COLLECT* the same amount.

[@ifoundarat9690]

I thought the machine events not giving you overclocks for your main was true because my luck was TRASH and in 2 weeks of playing I only got 1 scout overclock

[@WorldsTallestLeprechaun]

I think the illuminati are real in DRG, lol. Scout is my main class, and my best class, and the scout sniper rifle was my weapon of choice. (this was before the updates came out that gave scout the crossbow and plasma assault rifle) I literally, and I cannot stress this enough, *LITERALLY* got the overclocks for EVERY OTHER WEAPON of the OTHER 3 CLASSES before I even SAW a single overclock for the Scout sniper rifle. It was practically a freakin’ meme among me and my friends how I got all the Engi overclocks BEFORE the guy who mains Engi did, lol.

Are you 100% sure Doretta’s health doesn’t go up with more people? Because it’s an animation thing, meaning, when the fixing animation is finished repair progress goes up. So if Doretta has 10hp and 1 person starts repairing and a 2nd person repairs while I’m half way through my progress bar/animation I will repair her while the 2nd person is over half way to another repair for more hp progress faster

[@matiasgaming4971]

Fun fact: Performance points for a mission can't go higher than 2300. Only outside factors can make it go higher than this, such as the seasons main item (Plaguehearts this season), challenges and event items that trigger the double performance points bonus
