I can't see multiplayer being superior choice compared to singleplayer for a lot of games if we're talking about personal performance only, but you're forgetting the fun factor

[Neonivek]

True, lets play together some time.

[Darkmere]

Yeah, the enforcer that has that huge one-way immunity shield at will?

... what do you think he does in multiplayer, hmm?

Han-D has great crowd stuns that help everyone else, too. Acrid's slime trail speeds up the whole party. Use your imagination.

I have played with my roommate and friends in the past and you can pull off some really neat combos. Enforcer + sniper is especially deadly.

Enforcer is a massive pain single player because there is (or was) a glitch where enemies would get stuck in walls for some reason.  So you're facing a massive horde, you plant your back against a wall... and then an enemy sticks to said wall, and attacks you repeatedly from behind until you die.

[Niveras]

Is there any melee character with a half decent ordinary attack? Perhaps a melee range ordinary attack as you run?

Miner, HAN-D, and Mercenary have melee attacks but they all stop moving to do them. With enough attack speed, some characters move between attacks even if you hold the button down flat, but that's true of most attacks.

The only character that can move while attacking is, AFAIRemember, the huntress. (Some of the others can technically move while using an ability, or move as part of an ability, but that is of course slightly different.)

I think he is a pain anyhow even if he was the unquestionable best class. Or at least I don't find the Enforcer very fun.

I find the issue with enforcer is that often you really can't just hunker down and clean stuff up because things spawn too quickly even low in the difficulty slider thing. It kind've defeats the point, at least to me. I actually quite enjoy playing him!

Well usually you go open the portal first.

[hemmingjay]

Yes, I finally got past the third level and it was as enforcer. I immediately opened all portals as soon as I found them and then ran to the bottom corner of the map and hunkered down. I used to run to the top corner because I felt it let me see the worm and such coming, but it works better in the bottom, as near as I can tell. Made it to the 5th level this morning as the Huntress. I only play 20 mins at a time, due to scheduling problems.

So, Risk of Rain got a patch yesterday. I'm about to try it out, has anyone else tried it yet?

[Nighthawk]

Ooooooh, snap. I'll have to check this out as soon as I get home. 2 new classes seems too good to be true.
And those sneaky devs didn't say anything about what the classes were in the patch notes! Must they tease me so?

[Karkov]

Played it for a bit.  2 new classes, 10 new items, and a new engine that runs better.

The 2 classes are the Chef and the Loader.  Both are pretty easy to unlock, Loader is to get 30 items and the Chef is getting specific, food related items.

Loader is a melee bruiser, punches in a combo attack when you mash, has an ability that momentarily turns him invincible and makes him move faster for a moment, and shoots his hand out which grabs onto anything in the way and pulls you towards it.  His ultimate sets down a tesla coil where you're currently standing and then allows you to place a second tesla coil.  Once you place the second tesla coil it will shock anything between them in a sort of box created between the two (the lightning connecting the two coils doesn't zap, it's anything inside the box).

The Chef I haven't unlocked yet, though I've seen him played.  He's got an interesting move set.

[crazysheep]

Played Monsoon on co-op with a friend who went Acrid.

We died because the game crashed due to a memory allocation error, ugh.

[Aoi]

Urgh, did the latest update wipe out your save file or something? I had a 100% unlocked game that had some pretty extreme records disappear.
