something weird I've kinda noticed with G2 Staves

I really liked how Grounded 2 reworked a lot of it's weapons, such as the dual daggers and the much stronger bows, but I really never liked how Grounded 2's staves work.

In the first Grounded, the staves, (I'll be using the spicy stave as my example since its the base for most of Grounded 2's staves) seemed a lot less buggy, the charge animation for them and the distance the projectile went seemed to be very consistent with eachother.

For Grounded 2 though, I feel like Staves feel a lot more buggy and kinda weird to use? I could charge a full stave attack and the blob that shoots out (from almost all of them) seems to be really buggy and angled in a weird way, it's less easy to notice if you play in 3rd person, but man they feel odd in 1st person.

I think the rework in giving Staves less range but more splash was a good change for Grounded 2, but I really hope they end up making the shoot animations with the staves match the trajectory and arch that the G2 Staves shoot.

So when are they adding this variant?

Ran into this at work today and literally froze. I DONT DO SPIDERs IRL but I mustered up every ounce of manliness in my body and relocated her outside of the shop because she would have %100 gotten killed in there

New Game+19

Nearly at NG+20 now!

I’m starting to dread the Javamatic defence though.

Anyone got any decent tips or wise words about such a late game defence?

Rot and Ruin FYI

So, just to start I want to note for some reason they decided to make the abyss a bit more...annoying? You now freeze no matter what unless you have a torch out and I also had the mutation, however, your buggy will still freeze. You'll need to find those raw science vents to warm up. I'm not sure why they did this? But at least there's Bismuth like crazy down here.

I also found a Toe Biter Leviathan down here, pic of map where he was located and he was nice enough to give the me toe trinket. Tons of Bismuth near him.

Also, there is tier 3, 4 and 5 Bismuth down in the Abyss.

One last note, apparently upgrading the Lucky Hat lowers its durability!

Edit: the freezing effect while in the abyss is a bug, not intentional.

G2 Staff Idea: Solar Singe!

(forgive the spritework, its the only program I got 😭)

Basically, I feel like Staves in G2 could go much further beyond being just lobbing sticks, so I designed this staff to be more of a beam staff. Basically, the longer you use the beam, the stronger and more damage dealing the beam will become! There would be about 2-3 stages to this attack, and you can fire it as long as your stamina lets you.

This makes it so you can do things like let your Buggy tank damage for you, while you stay back and slowly attack, if you get attacked and your forced to stop shooting, then your beam is back to square 1. I tried to make this staff a little more skilled than the others, so you can only get the most value by playing smart and trying to stay back while your buggy or your friends tank damage.

This is a staff that's supposed to be obtained after you get to the pond section of the map, being a tier 3 staff. I always saw the new Phantom Quartz that Grounded 2 added as a great material to base a staff around, so by combining the mysterious capabilities of Glow and Unstable Goo, this staff lets you fire a slowly growing beam of light, kinda like Iron Man's unibeam.

Hope you like the idea!

New change to the out of bounds playground

The playground has gotten a whole load taller and the design of it has changed a bit, the slide now goes down in a straight line rather than curved. If you look at the second photo of me stood up there, you can really see how gigantic this structure is.

hidden gem of a weapon

So the centipede boss is pretty difficult as we all know, but i have a weapon that does quite well against him, but only when hes stunned of course.

The weapon im talking about is the gloom skewer, the masked stranger variant of the larvalance, now able to be tier 3 thanks to the yoking press, and when using a charged attack with it, it applies a debuff that lowers a creatures resistance to stabbing/piercing.

So when skritch is stunned and his gut is exposed you pop a charged attack and then get to work, it does really good damage.

Just remember to bring stuff that stuns pretty easily such as the pinch whacker, shell shocker shield and shell shocker armour. ✌🏻
