    bolstering lantern being on a top 10 list for the dlc really shows how terrible most of the items were

      I think it is worse than many of the items on the worst items list. The biggest issue with it is its uptime is incredibly hard to manage.

      There's only 18 items in the dlc (19 counting consumed seed?) so it kinda had to be on one of the lists...

      Since Longstanding Solitude was removed from its spot as the worst, that moves all the other items on the worst list up a slot and leaves the #10 slot open for a new item. As there's only 19 items, #10 on the best list also has to be #10 on the worst list, meaning Bolstering Lantern is technically on both.
      It goes without saying, but the fact that there were so few items that one item has to be on BOTH lists is not a sign of a good DLC. Though, I'm not sure I want them adding more if they're willing to add things like War Bonds, either...

    it should be noted that electric boomerang doesnt actually do 30% base damage, but rather does 30% of sawmerangs damage (gearbox moment). so it actually does 133% base dmg on the initial hit and 46% base damage on the rapid piercing hits. you can test this

    • @bugjams

      It's baffling how Gearbox not only got nearly EVERY new item description completely wrong but also got them wrong in increasingly hilarious ways. Like, you cannot make this stuff up. Chance Doll has wrong numbers and doesn't actually "upgrade" items? Funny, but harmless. Knockback FIn scales _logarithmically,_ making an already bad item even worse to stack? Hilarious. Electric Boomerang is actually just a reskinned Sawmerang, thus making it much stronger than the description leads on? *Top kek*

    Chronic expansion is actually really good because you don't need kills to extend it's use, you only need to shoot enemies to extend it. You can have 5 stacks, keep shooting enemies for 1 minute without having to kill and you still keep the stacks. For some reason this doesn't work with the overlord imp, clay dune and void crabs, but every other enemy works.

    • @Skele10bro
      @Skele10bro 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +2

      Even still, the damage isn't good unless you kill a LOT of enemies or you have a fmp. Those enemies that don't work also don't help it in that regard either, so it's not really worth it but it is good scrap.

    • @DankbeastPaul
      @DankbeastPaul 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +6

      Actually, it also doesn't work with a bunch of random other enemies for some reason AND the damage boost is calculated using LEVEL ONE BASE DAMAGE
      If it actually worked as advertised it would pretty good, but as of now it's trash

    • @bugjams
      @bugjams 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +2

      I don't know how he got that detail wrong. It doesn't say anywhere that you need kills to extend the duration. "In combat" is still a lie though, since it doesn't work like other "in combat" effects on other items. As proven by rndThursday, the item can be incredibly good and only gets better as you get bigger and more self-sustaining proc chains that kill stuff off-screen. After a loop, you should be getting the damage buff from it almost constantly, and it stacks incredibly well.

  • @EmberOldAccount
    @EmberOldAccount 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +46

    I think the design philosophy behind bolstering lantern is that it's not supposed to be a consistent source of damage, but rather more of an oh shit last minute kill everything before they can kill you sort of thing. It's kinda like how you don't pick up elixer for healing, or genesis loop for damage.
    Now, do I think the execution is great? Hell no. Do I think the idea behind it is serviceable? Yeah.

      @CopiHuman lantern is kinda like watered down gloop lol. Instead of a big flashy high damage explosion, it's just a more passive increase in damage.

      I kinda like it befitting REX similary to how things like Bustling Fungus befits Engineer, or nowadays Bison Steak befits False Son.

    • @ollidragon3146
      @ollidragon3146 4 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      for that to work, the damage buff would have to be way higher and i think that would become too broken on a white item. The effect had to be nerfed since it was a white item, but that made it kinda useless. it probably would've been better as a green, or swap it and war bonds so it gives insane damage and war bonds only gives like one chest.

  • @icetide9411

    I'm happy to see someone give Chance Doll the respect it deserves. I swear everytime someones mentions the extremely niche case of "What if the normal drop was a legendary but when it does the better loot pool it makes it something else?" which ignores all the benefits of the item.

    • @pham990
      @pham990 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      yeah, I'm probably one of those people, because yellow items are definitely not better than reds, yellows are green+, that's why you only see it replacing greens from teleporters, if they'd change the order to green -> yellow -> red, people would be much, much happier

      5 yellows are decent, the other 5 are basically niche or garbage. I'd say yellows are only slightly worse than legendaries, it's just that the good ones are insanely good and the bad ones are super common (as natural boss drops) and very useless.

      @@DankbeastPaul I’m not saying “don’t take because yellow bad”, all in all, it’s still a very good item to get (still 100% better than half of the items in the dlc), I just don’t like the weird order they put the items in simply because it just doesn’t make sense for reds to be turned into green+,
      it’s still a very good item that you should always take (other than stage 5 going to mithrix, obviously)

    @MissBaggyCoat 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +15

    Honestly, i think Noxious Thorn is the worst looking item in the entire game, far worse than Bolstering Lantern.
    I think because it's a tiny thing scaled up, it lacks any detail or contrast. It's an unappealing shape with no defining outline. It's just a big, thick, green spike with nothing more to it.

    • @bugjams
      @bugjams 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      It could be fun I think if it worked like Hit List (aka a 'bounty hunt' of sorts), where instead of a % chance of elites to drop items, it picked a random elite every 10 seconds and highlighted it. If you seek it down and kill it within the time limit, you get the item. Would at least give it some interactivity.
      Alternate idea: The item "breaks" upon entering each stage, and you have to find its 3 pieces marked around each map. Assembling it makes it work as usual, you just have to build it first each stage. Would give it some interactivity and an indirect nerf, by making it not work immediately and costing you time each stage.

      I understand why you’d think that, but shaped glass reduces your MAX health by 50%, not your current health. Even if you have half of your health, shaped glass uses the same damage type as Eclipse 8, permanent damage, which reduces your health bar, so if you’re at max health with shaped glass, you’re considered 100% hp

    I wasn't the only one who thought Bolstering Lantern just... didn't look like a vanilla item. At least not a white one. Even red items tend to look simple (Rejuv Rack, Resonance Disc, War Bonds, Clover, Behemoth... all just simple shapes with 1 or 2 colors). It's RoR2 (and really the whole series)' art style. BL looks like it's from a mod that, while definitely had love and effort put into it, didn't quite nail the aesthetic of RoR2.
    It almost looks like something from the BubbetsItems mod, which has cool item concepts and some that look like they could be from the vanilla game (I'm really a fan of the design of Jellied Soles and pretty much all the new Void items), but many of them have this weird "vibe" to them that clashes with RoR2. Like, if you joined someone using the mod and never played RoR2 before, you'd probably notice some of BubbetsItems didn't really "fit."

      I think he gets that, but his point is that, as a veteran of Eclipse 8 on all survivors, he prioritizes dodging and damage reduction, so taking intentional damage on the whole is not in the cards generally. Items that derive their value from being at low percent health negatively synergize with Eclipse and artifact of glass, along with other items that cause you to lose base health, thus making the 25-50% health range even riskier (Rain?) or harder to maintain; and is generally antithetical to the game design in his opinion. Most of the game is about dodging attacks and avoiding damage, as enemy attack power scales far higher than your health does, so it is advantageous to block, dodge, or reduce oncoming damage for this reason.

      this is coupled by the fact that such items are dead weight at high health amounts, so for most survivors in most situations, they are either useless, or pigeonhole you into playing the game in a way that is far more conducive to failure.

      The point is that if you’re playing well you aren’t getting any value from those kinds of items, and that’s obviously not what you want. Why would I want an item that’s only giving me a buff when I’ve messed up and is doing nothing the rest of the time? If it’s not something like a dio’s that’s actively saving my run then I expect it to have decent uptime so it’s actually helping me otherwise it’s better off as scrap that I can turn into something actually useful.

      The problem is that even when you take this into account these items have very poor uptime. If you don't intentionally take damage items like bolstering lantern are not gonna do much damage for you.

    Sonorous whispers is the most broken item ever released to my memory even nerfed. But it doesn't get most broken strat ever because to me that will always be old glass plus Topaz brooch when you overshield had it's on OSP so you could stack literal infinite glass and enemies would have to hit you 4 times before you got a kill or any form of healing which with as much glass as you had wasn't likely

    yo dude, if you're feeling burnt out on RoR2, no harm in making content about other games or other stuff you enjoy. I imagine it can be pretty tiring coming up with content for one specific game, especially right now, and it'd be really interesting seeing ur style of video-making on other games / topics

    Sonorous whispers should be nerfed ngl. And I think the only way is to add a limit to how many extra items you can get a stage. Maybe make it so it’s capped at 20(+20 each stack) a stage

    I like runic lens but I'm pretty sure there is a 'bug'? Right now where you can only have 1 proc at a time. So even with infinite attack speed you'll have to wait for the animation before getting a second meteor even with 100% proc chance.

    A thing to note about Chronic Expansion you dont need to keep killing enemies to keep the bonus you just need to keep damaging enemies which counts as staying in combat and you dont need to kill 5 enemies in a short about of time to get another stack just need to kill 5 enemies while in combat, i have been able to get up to 10+ stacks during the tp on stage 2.
    Also why does ever while in combat items count as being in combat in a different way and WHY DOES CHRONIC EXPANSION JUST LIST THE WRONG NUMBER

    I don't understand why everyone thinks sonorous is so broken. You aren't usually getting reds until stage 4, or from moon soup at which point it's useless. If you get it stage 4 you could farm in Gilded infinitely but that's so boring, I'm playing a game to have fun I'll just loop if I need items. It's only strong if you get it stage 1-3. And even then it's not the most busted item ever.

    • @DankbeastPaul
      @DankbeastPaul 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      If you get it stage 1 it absolutely is the most busted item ever. You also forgot about the Bazaar cauldrons.
      And even if you do get it from the stage 4 guaranteed red, you will still get a crap ton of items because of how many elite and boss enemies spawn on the last stages
