The whole completionist game concept with fomo really makes me appreciate Deep Rock Galactic and its seasonal pass system. If there is an item in the season pass that you dont unlock, it gets put into the lootpool or in game shop, and they always give you past hats or cosmetics that you get from holiday events next year. I wish more games were like that.

[@firebush]

d2 immediately comes to mind as one of the bad ones where you miss out or feel behind

[@flamingscar5263]

Also Halo Infinite deserves a shout out for allowing you to go back and complete any battle pass ever added to the game

[@addison1024]

@@flamingscar5263if you pay for them, and as long as they aren’t event passes

[@CyanPickle]

this didn't age well not because they locked players out of previous seasonal content or anything, they just allow players to now access previous seasons, their content and season passes at literally any point so that you can unlock the stuff you missed and want naturally by playing without relying on getting them out of the growing loot pool

[@johancito16345]

​@@CyanPicklethats even better

[@Iranofideaswhilewritingthis334]

This mod unironically makes the game way easier thanks to the fact that the director isn't spamming blind pests every second

[@chriss4855]

you don't like it on first stage when it spawns in 9 blind pests in 5 seconds with 2 elites?

[@dezaultering]

@@chriss4855its my favorite 😁

[@yarisher3127]

I need to find the man who invented blind pests, he owes a debt to us merc mains

[@fakeuber8254]

Erm…. Just walk in circles 🤓

[@cardnal44]

Man, I sure do love playing artificer. The directory spawns a horde of blind pests and lesser wisps

[@dreadmask4031]

Holy crap. i love how race just starts talking about promos in games and sees an ignition tank and just goes "ooh"

[@Aelinbunn]

Beetle queen being abbreviated as "Been" sounds so cute ^.^

[@NickiRusin]

lil been

[@dementodoc]

Lysate is easily one of my favorite void items and I think I've died a little inside with how often you've passed on it in these damn runs lmao

[@RacesVideos]

Sorry, I love it too don’t worry

[@snottytoe6957]

My issue with voidling is I have absolutely no reason to even go there in the first place. I wish that all of the survivors had some void based abilities, or at least a few of them had some alt skills based around void. There is a mod called voidcrid that gives a whole set of alt void skills for acrid and it's really cool to see that kind of stuff. I like when the classes have a set of alt skills that go into a different theme or playstyle, especially when it's lunar or void based.

[@infosys1165]

I call dibs on this guys first born.

[@bowreed]

I'm in your walls.

[@infosys1165]

nuh uh@@bowreed

[@kemonoshift]

sometimes when i play ror2 id just imagine you commentating the run like you do on your streams and vids and it makes me more consistent lol, love ur stuff man

[@deadmagnet6318]

Heres a challange for you, do 5 player solo BUT you get +1 benthic bloom per stage

[@RacesVideos]

Wrong

[@NickiRusin]

​@@RacesVideos*EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER*

[@abra_escaped]

8:30 looking back at this I love the back to back mention of sots being playtested followed by someone hoping for it to add an alt route, because seemingly only one of those things happened lol (I personally like sots but man could that balance update please come out soon)

[@Mega_Croissantamence]

I yelled when I saw the quad-ICBM from alloy worship unit, that’s an engineer’s wet dream! Besides bungus, our lord and savior. Eat the bungus. Eat it. Do it. You know you wanna do it. Eat it. Fuse with the bungus. Hold the bungus. Forfeit all mortal limitations and become one with the bungus. Bungus. Bungus.

[@yarisher3127]

That DML health melt on Mithrix felt so so good

[@Aelinbunn]

Do you feel like your runs have been easier or harder with multitude 8? I think it's very cool even if there's no difference because slightly more loot means slightly higher chance of certain builds happening like fmp, but do you think it is balanced?

[@RacesVideos]

Not balanced at all, even when I have reduced loot by so much any amount of extra items means the game is easier (when in reasonable player difficulties)

[@DeWillpower]

happy new year! when i'll reach e8 for all characters without any gameplay changing mod i'll do many fun things like multitude

[@limejonathans]

i'm on that same mindset lol, but i still gotta start the eclipse grind i only have railgunner and viend left to get the monsoon skin, and then ill start

[@joto5459]

​@@limejonathans Just play Eclipse, you get the skins for beating it since it's monsoon+

[@yarisher3127]

Fresh merc content is always loved

[@Reeeaper491]

25:33, bro's goin to space

[@pqr590]

14:15 what are these nodes you speak of?

[@aliveisuppose]

When are you going to add artifacts to eclipse for difficulty, if ever? (Specifically like spite, swarms, honor, etc) The ones that make the game harder.

[@horribleperson9531]

he has done a elite only run

[@marius9139]

suprised to see you using faster printers mod, when did you start doing that? or is it only for these solo-multiplayer runs?

[@redspell2965]

His talk about Fiji events and games becoming jobs is why I quit destiny 2 I have over 240 days worth of play time on that game and haven’t touched it since stasis came out and every time I think about getting back into it I realize how much catching up I’ll have to do and just lose motivation

[@Yohruu]

y'know, I wanted to watched this video to get tips on fighting mithrix as merc, and I witness a murder.

[@chillycheepcheep1100]

i cant find the mercenary skin used and its making me sad because it looks so cool is it included in one of the mods listed?

[@Mega_Croissantamence]

What was that void purity on commencement?

[@ProitoOk]

Happy 2024 to everyone! For a year full of recyclers!

[@TruestAura]

i think there needs do be more mid/post mithrix bosses that have their own stages. and more item syngergies like isaac, imagine gas made atg apply fire dmg instead or uk

[@RacesVideos]

Agree!

[@timtim4908]

Hasnt this run been posted already? I stg some of the line he says sound and look way too familiar

[@SuperBlupers]

Wait since when was purity a void item?!?! 28:05

[@joto5459]

I don't know, maybe it's a mod?

[@webpacker]

its a mod that replaces benthic bloom with purity

[@carlos-uk4xe]

I really need to know from what mod this Merc skin is

[@abra_escaped]

I don't know the exact name of it but it's a mod that gives every survivor a commando skin, doubt it'd be too hard to search for

[@BlueShadow-xs7cx]

How do you set it to multiple people difficulty?

[@deliveryhealth3878]

Is vields worse now? No scavs, less legendary printers on stage 5?

[@RacesVideos]

It’s technically more “free” to go check it out since it doesn’t induce the stage scaling bonus

[@Emma-dt6my]

From what mod is that merc skin? Does anyone know?

[@petrikhorr]

3:42 "the problem with high difficulties is that i'm intentionally making the game boring"

[@star_fazer2974]

Was that a void purity?

[@RacesVideos]

Yes

[@skylarea]

i am soo bad at merc and bros out here beating 5p difficulty😭 good job

[@monkeyman0993]

why not play with artifact of evolution to add more challenge so then depending on your luck both the player and enemies can scale.

[@RacesVideos]

I already have some videos on that :)

[@JoesNoms]

why does his printers and scrappers so fast

[@jdxv134]

28:04 how purity??? that isnt a void item at all

[@ghoullyy]

Yeah i’ll be honest i’ve stopped myself from even starting or quit a game or three i’ve really liked because of the whole “aw man sucks you didn’t have my game now you’ll never get this item ever” and it sucks lol.

[@Num2OuO]

11:24 bro how can u not use this as thumbnail

[@popiomondayz]

two feathers? on a race video? unreal

[@goodra5860]

hey what mod do you use that makes scrappers and 3D printers work at fucking hyper speed edit: nevermind i got it

[@hadore152]

If you want a real challenge just play the switch version pre-dlc update

[@deadmagnet6318]

Hello race, id like you to know you ruined my life (just a joke ofcourse), im now extremely addicted to ror2 and have been stuck trying to get gold eclipse medal no lunar for the past month, and its all your fault i hate you (/j) and i hope you a happy new year, also would be intresting to see you play other rougue likes such as (specially) isaac, i feel like you would like it

[@Coolaiddog14]

After unlocking it mercs secondary special is so much better than evicerate

[@pikator9153]

Boop is goofy af

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

Disputed origin did the 32p difficulty run. Basically all that spawns is elite boss monsters with tens or hundreds of millions of health at stage 1. You don't have to hide on a rock off the map but you're locked into 1 of 2 playstyles, those being 1) captain with diablo strike/crowbars where you use diablo every 3 minutes to get 1 kill and 2) acrid with poison/guillotines, where you hit an enemy then run for a while so the poison damage can tick down to kill them with guillotine. Basically none of the items except movement speed and crowbar/guillotine are meaningful to stack, which makes the game horribly boring to play since its all just waiting around for enemies to die.

[@Kamalthefrog]

Enforcer run when ?

[@RacesVideos]

lol

[@Amoss77]

Race dll tho

[@fizikabi6358]

No recyclers no atgs no fmp, 2/10 run :(
