@@CDiinky how do you keep grounded fun without friends cd

[@Squarishplum]

No balls

[@WellSwolen69]

I feel that the Halloween update should be extended through November. Grounded takes place in a yard, it makes sense to have junk left outside throughout the first half of the next month following a holiday.

[@hotrodrolfe]

Personally I want them to keep it this way. Considering all we have been through and probably no more updates Ill take it. And yes to ng 100+!

[@That1Guy4Never]

Great changes! I feel like noone is gonna believe us on how difficult NG+ was for those first few months! Enemy dmg wise, you'd have to go 3x higher in NG+ to experience the same difficulty we used to have (ie NG+4 = NG+12 now). Not even factoring in the pets. Crazy to think about!

[@CDiinky]

Ahhhh remember the old broken boss screams... good times!

[@digitaldynamic3476]

I got the feather trinket from the feather drops from the scarecrow 😎 I know most folks aren’t fond of that particular trinket but I’m a collector so I thought that was pretty rad 😁

[@Kudos2uMusic]

Getting it like that is sm better than running around the yard finding feathers

casually makes the ants give you half damage taken and 1.5x damage done (i def need to get around to getting the ant pets)

[@Kudos2uMusic]

Its nice when the developers listen to their games community

[@DaythurTONS_LCG]

Instead of changing the stats of damage the enemies/elements do to the player... I'd rather them let us increase the number of mutations we can carry at once, upgrade weapons AND armor past lvl 15 _(or at least let us upgrade armor past 9)_ , and have a better system for trinkets and infused weapons than it being SO random. I'd also like to see them do better with infused weapons. The fact that some infused weapons only have a CHANCE to drop from a boss you can only kill once _(and there being a 1 in 12,000 chance it will have two things you want)_ and some weapons _(like the two handed axe and two handed greatsword)_ don't even have infused versions available is more than disappointing. As always CDinky, great video. Thank you for this.

[@aidan10plays61]

Some crazy changes might have to start playing again

[@Blubbpaule]

Cdiinky, could you make a "Class Setup" video about different "classes" for the game stages? Like Pre- Broodmother, pre-wasp queen and so on? And for different ways of play, like ranged, mage, summoner or melee / Tank? I have 100%ed the game but i'm always interested in other ways of playing but i'm usually too dumb to see whats available for each class type.

[@Tyrael538]

if people complain the game is too easy now they can just go a couple NG+ higher, leave the game as it is i might try NG+1 with this update.

[@MichaelArdo6]

If people think this game is too easy they need to increases the difficulty. With full bee armor a ladybug can 1 shot you on that mode lol its borderline impossible to kill IBM past ng+ 2

[@lamielillusion8019]

I don't think the game is easy. At the very beginning, my boyfriend and I had a hard time dealing with Tier 2 mobs together, now we have full Tier 3 gear maxed out at +9, and even so, some bugs cause trouble with high damage. But that's okay, I want to see development and run after the wolves, not away from them. Moreover, we are both bad at this genre and at the beginning we generally turned on easy difficulty to play with pleasure, and not constantly run for our backpacks, and I don't know how to parry at all, which adds a huge challenge.

[@TheSuperGriefer]

t4 club dps builds getting 25% extra damage is insane I haven't used it yet but it's gonna be crazy

[@Pokaboy10]

[@lamielillusion8019]

My boyfriend and I are playing together and we collected all the ants but we could only get one of each type. Is there any way to get two black ants so we can both use them at the same time?

[@CDiinky]

As far as I'm aware you need to go into another ng+ and feed the ant queen for the pet you missed out on.

[@lamielillusion8019]

@@CDiinky You didn't get me. We have all 3 ants, but we play together and want to run with black ants, but we could only get one, is it possible to get a second black one in NG+? And if you feed them with infected treats, will it be possible to get a pet from them in the next NG+ if it disappears? My ant has already disappeared twice and I had to run to get it again. As far as I understand, this bug is due to getting stuck under textures when teleporting, after which they disappear. A very annoying bug, because we will have to infect three queens anyway to get loot and recipes from them, and it will be a shame to lose an ant until the next ng+ because of the bug

[@foolishrivera3982]

I infected the black ant can I still go get him

[@Xylaax]

[@alpharaptor2431]

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE.....ISNT THERE A CONE/TRINCKET WITH DAMAGE RESIST? LIKE 50%? I think we all can see my point here, black ant pet + that trinket = 99% reduced damage! (99% bcz in grounded you will always take minimum amount of damage no matter what)

Calling something overpowered for you to do all of that and have the devs also Nerf it to nothing they don't really investigate. You got to be careful with your words bro just saying 😅

[@seandabomb]

I agree, if you go through the effort to min/max your build you should feel stronger than just "balanced" and the game should feel easier. With infinite NG+'s, even the strongest builds will eventually hit a wall in terms of difficulty. The game would be bad if no builds are viable past NG+4, when the game itself lets you go past NG+10.

[@JoshwaLaw]

You can get new ones from the ant queens. And if you see that it is on the map, but doesn’t follow you anymore. Puse the game. Go to Game repair and you can teleport the pet to you

@@CDiinky Thanks brother

[@lamielillusion8019]

​​​@@CDiinkyIs there any point in the fire ant set? Does the debuff work from just one item, or does the debuff chance percentage increase? I didn't notice any increase in acid damage at all. I tried hitting with an acid axe in creative mode with and without gear. The damage was the same. Is this Sleek Effect definitely working? And does it make sense to make all elements of one set Sleek Effect? ​​Do they give an increase in chances or power from more than one element? Also, can you recommend which builds and weapons are good for the game+? What should I prepare before switching?

[@CDiinky]

@@lamielillusion8019 The fire ant armors effect is corrosion which reduces creatures resistances by 20% (does not stack with more pieces, only the proc chance) The sleek effect only works with the full set of the armor. If you are rocking 1 just fire ant piece i would go bulky as sleek does nothing.

[@lamielillusion8019]

@@CDiinky Even with 1 item, I often see this debuff and it is more convenient to use faster types of weapons, I think there is no special point in increasing the chance. It is a pity that the game does not have a correct description of all these effects, I wasted a lot of resources to upgrade the full sleek set to lvl 9. I will have to put it all aside and reassemble the gear. Thank God, resources for gear are easier to get, for weapons you need a lot of horns 🤪 And I already have ideas on how to get together so that it would be comfortable to run solo with a melee weapon, and with a guy and solo kill fat bastards with a crossbow. Time to farm 1 item of Hedge, Mantis, Moth and Fire Ant. I am also thinking about Bard's Tudor, but I didn't like the way charged shots work with the bow, regular ones seem to do even more damage. I don't understand how this works.

[@forestchurchill7348]

i just recently discovered Keyboard and mouse after a life on consoles... i play Grounded on xbox and i can not say how much i appreciate the developers actually specifically made Grounded for xbox KBM compatible. that just doesn't happen without actually going out of their way to make it compatible specifically so actual dev time went into making sure xbox console can use KBM, not just PC... and i always love when developers think about shit like this. since discovering KBM i have grown to dislike controller (namely the joysticks) more and more and grounded is one of the ONLY xbox games that has KBM. Remnant 1 and 2 as well as Lords of the fallen can use KBM... but thats about it as far as i can tell. i would love it if Borderlands 3 worked on xbox with kbm but i have that on playstation... which says F.U. to KBM users as ive so disappointingly discovered.

Is it possible to have more than 1 ant pet of a specific type active? Can both me and my partner have a black ant pet at the same time?

[@animebrigade2874]

Yes but you would have to go to new game plus so you can feed the queen again to get another baby ant. The ant queen only gives 1 baby per new game plus. If your baby dies then you can get yet another but other then that you need to go into next new game plus

[@TheBlueMuzzy]
