Seekers of the Storm worth buying?

[Mordy]

If i mostly just want the characters to play around with, maybe some new skins to chase would this dlc be worth a grab?

Since the bugs seem to already be baked into the game so is there something absolutely game breaking that comes with this package that would be a instant deal breaker?

It's a little jank still, but the characters are fun enough and the stages it adds are nice. I'd say it's worth it

Yeah, just started playing this and been having fun and now that got all characters unlocked (REX too suprisingly long, lol) i'm kinda itching to get the rest as they do look very fun.

im saying its not what it adds are 12 junk items 3 that are worth it and only one viable charather oh and 2 elites that for some reason has harsh scaling (more than the other elites anyways)

[Palo Wagner]

Its not worth at all, bad characters, USELESS items, bad animations, bad elites
But
Incredible music as always and VERY cool new maps

[cattykins]

i would say no, a lot of the content is just very unpolished and the new characters are not fun. wait until more patches to purchase

It can't be that bad, surely?

I think people are just upset with the bugs that came during launch cause there is no way people call these characters bad lol.

theyre not bad (except chef please rebalance) but they are just generally not fun
false son is a slow and clunky character with almost nothing interesting to his kit. he's the club guy, and the club is all you'll be using because his other skills are weak and unpolished
seeker is also boring, having to pause the fun game you're playing to press ▶⏫◀◀⏫⬇⬇◀ every couple seconds to stack tranquility is just a very boring mechanic. really the only thing she has going for her is her support abilities which are useless unless you happen to be playing multiplayer with a bunch of friends who suck (which you currently cannot do because the update broke multiplayer)
and chef. I dont even know what to say about chef. he's just fundamentally broken on so many levels. almost nothing in his kit works, you're better off just replacing all of his skills with Heretic and playing her instead

[jeb (the doomed)]

i'd say the DLC is in a fine state right now. however, the items included in it are boring and bland, seeker feels stupidly weak, and the false son fight is absurdly hard for what it is. (and there's collision issues on some of the new stages, but i'm expecting a gearbox patch for that) (hopefully)

[IppoTsuko]

outside of hoping for a rebalance on some of the items and chef (chef felt fine in normal ror but in this dlc he feels so bad like by far the worst survivor, only one i actually struggled in e3 on)

the stages are fun, new big boss while overtuned a bit (especially with his laser) is way better than voidling still, a lot of the new items are kinda cool (whispers, sale star, chance doll, prayer beads, chronic expansion, growth nectar, and runic lense), new equipment and shrine are very nice for multiplayer (maybe a bit too good but do increase fun factor in multiplayer), and then ofc the dlc adds a lot of new skins 1 for every old survivor and i like a majority of the new skins they look really good imo.

kinda up to you if you find it worth or not but i would kinda say so after the recent patch fixing a lot of the major problems

-How are they clunky?
-They're slow because their kit is strong and they have a tank-like play style.
-Their kit is interesting because they have the lunar spike gimmick that buffs him and his special ability along with his extra club slam ability.
-His other skills are not weak or unpolished, at least mechanically.
-His special ability is one of the most powerful abilities in the game right now.

his kit is a little clunky, sometimes trying to go from a m2 to either special or m1 can have your input eaten, nothing really unplayable there tho and easy to get used to. i don't even think he's that slow has a quick dash utility and gains ms from passive (engi, arti, and captain feel way slower).
i do agree his passive and way he scales off hp items is unique and interesting but think the ways his skills interact with the passive/debuffs feels a bit weird especially his main special which will only do like 1/4th of it's dmg while the debuff is still on the target.
his skill animations do seem a bit undercooked or unpolished, some look a bit like you'd expect a mod to look not a dlc character.

don't think he's very weak or unfun though i like him just think he could use a bit touching up, chef is the actually weak character from the dlc that guy needs a lot of help with both the worst m1 and m2's in the game.

The new content is interesting. If you're looking for new ror2, now that most of the bugs are patched, I would recommend it. I think the false son boss needs to be nerfed. That dang laser has ended more runs that went to him than I can count

[Apollyon Pal]

I am also someone who does not own the DLC and have not been able to figure out a strong sense of what the consensus on False Son is at all; for as many people as I've seen saying he sucks to play as just as many have been talking about how fun his kit is.
