Will you add workshops to this game?
bruh can people shut up about sniper and chef like. if you really wanted it you would have voted for it when you had the chance
I haven't seen much of this, but I have had so much more trouble with the Brass Contraption and Parent monsters than the bosses, which could just be a personal problem, but both of them just stick out to me. The Parent monsters' teleport ability makes them incredibly mobile, while not giving them a long cool down for their attack, and has often punched me partially into flatbread. This, combined with their massive health pool, makes them incredibly hard to deal with, harder than bosses most of the time, due to them having little telegraphing verses the bosses. Then, with Brass Contraption monsters, getting a "Horde of Many" boss fight or even just a lot of them at once oftentimes means an overloading one will tag me and bring me down with one shot, rarely two if I have a massive health pool. But then, they're the highest health flying monster other than the Greater Wisp and Wandering Vagrant, which makes it hard to eliminate them, especially with Acrid. The solutions I'd propose for the Parents would be adding a cool down or longer attack, like I believe was in Risk of Rain 1 (I could be wrong, but the attacks felt less instant), or making the health pool a bit smaller, which I think could be good for the Brass Contraptions too. Having a lower projectile speed on the latter I feel could mitigate the difficulty in dodging, but would not have an effect on the sometimes obscene amounts of damage done (I have had over 1k damage in a single shot done to me with 30 minutes on the clock in medium). Other than that, though, I love this game! Basically all of the other enemies are pretty great, with my favorite actually being the Void Reaver. I love how well it's telegraphed and the death implosion is useful, as well as pretty fun and intuitive to dodge. I apologize for the long post, but thank you for reading! Again, this might just be a personal problem; I'm not sure how other players are doing with this. Have a good one!
I know it's probably impossible for the 1.0 release, but I'd really like to see some voice acting. It'd give the Survivors a ton of character and give this game a whole new sense of immersion, flair, a feeling of completion. As it stands right now, it doesn't feel like a finished game, it feels kind of dull and empty, lifeless even. Nobody says anything. Giving each one of our playable characters a voice and a personality, much like they did in Overwatch, would elevate this game to a whole new level. Would Overwatch have been nearly as popular if it's characters didn't each have their own voice and personalities? No way. Voicework is essential. Putting in voice acting allows us to really connect with a few characters and pick them to be our favorites just for that alone no matter if those characters play-styles would not be our best fit, but we'd pick them anyway because we like their character. This game really needs some grade-A voice actors, and I don't just mean a few throwaway lines for each Survivor in the selection menu, I mean unique lines that each Survivor will actively react to during gameplay like spawning for each stage, getting a kill, taking damage, almost dying, dying, starting boss fight, killing boss, a few different lines for each item tier as in common, uncommon, legendary, boss, Lunar, equipment, (a line for every single item would be amazing, but that seems like too much work, maybe someday) and then pinging location, loot, altar, and boss altar, and then the best would be unique interactions between each Survivor as they walk past each other in a level, this is where there is so much opportunity for some really funny witty lines, maybe some Survivors are friends, maybe some hate each other, and if we got to see that during gameplay it'd be so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool!! You get the idea. There is so much opportunity here for you to write some really good dialogue and bring immersion and personality to your game. PLEASE! Voice acting! It's something that is desperately needed. Once you establish each survivors personality and quirks with voicework then the enthusiasts have way more to go on and then the fan art and comics start infecting the internet and will spread free publicity for the game! Everybody wins. Get it in the game and please do it as soon as you can. A 2020 game has no excuse to not put fantastic voice acting in it.
I'm waiting for PROVIDENCE !

Providence is dead, and it's hinted, read the Predatory Instincts log
I remember using Cheat Engine on this game and found out there are Vehicles that you can be.. will there be Vehicles? Just wondering.

Great job making RoR2 so far Hopoo!
Avoid the hater comments, they just suck at the game.
MAKE THE GAME HARDER! That's my only suggestion.

Well you can transform in vehicle with HAN-D but I do not see point in placing any vehicle in this game it would just kill momentum.
"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

I doubt anyone is mad you guys want to take your time and do it right.
Server browser, see the PING !!!! finally.
May be i ll be able to find a playable game online!
Nice.
Cheers
Please add a "save function" (not for reloading when you died). I'm working a lot and have a small baby at home and on some days I don't find the time to play a run from beginning to end, because I can't game for 60 minutes or longer ... I know, there are mods for this, but it's really inconvenient to reinstall these mods evertim an update is published.

No nagging from my side - you guys have done a great job - starting with the first risk of rain, which is still one of the most played games in my library.
I think the only thinks I would have would be either more or synergizing items, as well as maybe a few more differences in the maps. Either MORE different maps per stage (for example for the 3. map another option or more different setups to the existing ones) and more unlockable abilities. Otherwise ungodly fun, thank you for this amazing game hoopoo
Would it be possible to get the split screen polished up for 1.0 so that both local players can use controllers and be able to select the mode through the UI rather than the console?

You mean MUL-T can transform into a vehicle. Also speaking of momentum, way to kill my question by saying the idea would kill momentum lul.
Literally the only issue I've ever had is with the matchmaking. I often get sent to servers where the ping is horrible and not worth playing so I just quit, then get rematched with the same people right away. so that you want to improve that is wonderful :)
