I'm impressed and kinda shocked how unfazed and chill Tango reacted to Grian, the guy who broke Sahara with a single potato, threatening to build a giant pool above Decked Out.
I didn't immediately make that connection but all my hair is now standing on end. I wonder if next stream will feature a preemptive sponge defense layer?
@@dragonridertechnologiesthere would be no need for it he didn't build it over the Redstone. Most of it was built over the great hall which is blocked from the Redstone
I think it would be funny if they started treating the area like an out of control homeless camp. Take someone who hasn't been seen in a while and use armor stands to make it look like the other Hermits are cooking them on a giant rotisserie over Tango's blue flames. Maybe setup some sort of cooking station that looks like someone is using the blue flames to cook Joe's fish. Just have it look like the Hermits are so addicted to the game they are living there and turning to cannibalism.
It's pretty great that area is actually getting filled with some things. The citadel looks great, but Tango didn't really have a plan for all that space above the dungeon.
Not really shown in this video, but I think Tango really enjoyed Grian learning/struggling to deal with Ravagers. For the past ~5 months Tango has been complaining about dumb Ravagers, and he finally has someone who can understand how he feels.
That "boat" in the training room should be at least 2 blocks off the bottom of the pool; because in the actual game the boat is floating, meaning Willie could come under the boat or hit you from under it. It's an important detail for accurate training!
To those who are worried about the water: Grian built it over an area that doesn’t have much of any redstone if any at all, it looks like it sits entirely over the great hall
You should add some observation balconies. That way you can either have some others watch while they wait their turn, or have some of the pros come to do some coaching.
I just pause at the very end right before he said it, and I saw your comment first xD Now we can only guess the theme of this seasons are going to be. We've had 3 lives, random lives, tied lives and timed life. But knowing how creative Grian can get (especially when he gets bored), I'm sure he won't disappoint
it's actually insane all of decked out was made in survival minecraft, sure they have some custom assets, but even without those to set the mood it's still an absolutely stunning creation
The only thing custom assets adds is proper textures for the cards instead of books in DO1 and proper card calling and ambiance instead of noteblock tines
This is hilarious watching my grey, french bulldog Jellie, responding to your voice everytime you say jellie, she keeps looking around to find whos calling her ahaha
I was watching in the shower and my speaker ran out of battery and I could barely hear the video because of the water, so I turned on my subtitles and realised they're really well done. Like when someone is speaking it says the person who's speaking, it's so well done, and I have a lot of respect for it. It opens up the door for an audience who's RU-vid is pretty limited and I love that. Well done pesky bird.
It might be beneficial to have a training area for dealing with underwater magma blocks. Some hermits are getting stuck on them, and kinda panicking, so they're taking damage and getting trapped because they're trying to swim up. You can't swim up off of a magma block--it pulls you down and you take damage if you're not shifting.
I think that’s less of a skill related thing and more of a pressure issue. I doubt hermits would normally struggle with getting out of a bubble column like they would with evading tridents or ravagers but the high stakes environment gets to them. So I don’t think they could gain much from practising that in the backrooms.
So many times I've yell "Just crouch and you'll be fine!!!!" They freak out because of the damage and the eventual drowning even without other threats. I know they know to crouch but they don't and it hurts my soul lol
@@MrMoon-hy6pn I get that, but that's part of what training is for--so that when the panic response hits, your training kicks in. It's not just about practicing skills, it's about creating a pathway for the brain to follow when the adrenaline and fight or flight response freezes out critical thinking in favor of survival.
@@MrMoon-hy6pn That's literally the point of practising, so stressful enviourments and situations won't get to you. You literally just crouch and slide away, they need to practise to not panic and forget that.
Yeah, both Decked Out and Hermit's TCG are so much fun to watch, and both Tango and Beef deserves a lot of respect and praise from their works and dedication
Grian had a barge in season 7 and a train in season 8, so I’ve been saying that he should have a plane as a store in season 9 to complete the trifecta. I think THAT would be amazing.
Hopefully we'll get to see Scar using the backrooms. I can just imagine it now: "No Jellie! NOO! Oh, no, not you, Jellie, you're being good, but it's not dinner time for another 15 minutes. No! Jellie! Stop!"
I don't use closed captions, but I imagine the people who do probably appreciate the extra touch you did with color coding whose talking. Props to you or your editor, that's going the extra mile.
I use closed captions and yes, I absolutely appreciate the colors and even the capitalized names its super helpful so huge kudos to whoever does them for making them like so!
Cc is really useful for people who are heard of hearing or just learning/practicing the language, so the captions being colored is extremely appreciated!
I still would've done an outer shell of obsidian on the "outside" of the poolrooms (and the river areas) to be safe in case of "oops misclicked and instamined a block".
The berry bushes might need a trap door to prevent the ravager from pricking itself to death, as well as stair rails. You're gonna go into there one day and there'll be no Jellie.
I had my suspicions that a life series was on its way with Grian and Scott posting a lot of life series content, glad to have the confirmation. Can't wait!
I'll explain the strategy for avoiding tridents. During swim and glide animations the only hitbox the player has is a little cube at the player's feet. You can use this to your advantage. If you hold shift or space while looking at least somewhat down or up respectively, you can swim forward at a slightly slower pace, but you can be 3 times harder to hit.
Three things that could be worth adding to the training room: * Compass location training * The water hazards that come down from the roof * Vex training
I'm ashamed in myself. I've just tried to click "and more" like eight times and I somehow didn't understand why it kept going to 9:26 or why it wouldn't open the rest of the message.@@jacobmclaughlin668
You don't need to apologize about the Decked out 2 content. It has been a blast seeing all the hermits enjoying this adventure game. It is great to learn something new about your favorite games, the ravager backrooms are already a success!
The Ravager took some damage from the stairs as you were testing the entrance to the swimming pool. As things are, the training grounds will need a replacement eventually.
Love that you're spending time enjoying decked out! My husband and I have been obsessed with it, and seeing you and the other hermits obsessed as well just makes my heart happy. You guys are such a supportive group, and you're right, Tango definitely deserves the clout on this one!
This is honestly one of the coolest contributions another hermit has done to tangos project. Also the theming of making it into some weird backrooms videogame tutorial assimilation of the actual decked out levels is such an inspired idea and elevates this build to S-tier.
Does anyone else feel like grian is more disconnected from the shopping districts/nether hub/hermits this season and season 8 compared to seasons 6 and 7? I don’t even know what the shopping district looks like this season
I’ve been absolutely loving the decked out content! Currently I’m in a state of packing up my stuff into boxes because I’m moving houses and this series has been getting me through it and giving me enough motivation to finish and here I am packing my last box so thank you so much Grian for posting your videos, I bet that 100% of the subscribers you have are extremely well deserved.
@@user-ld5dr7bm7w “Oh? So you agree to the deal? Wonderful! Just hand me that almond water, and you’ll have almost everything you could ever want in these labyrinths.” *they hand scar the almond water* “THANK YOU!!! TATA!!! BYEEEE~!”
I've been testing it out, you can totally just get a zombie to pick up a trident, and then drown the zombie. The zombie can't use the trident's ranged attack until it turns into a drowned. Not only does this mean not having to worry about carting around a drowned that you kill you at any time, but it also means you don't have to locate a naturally spawned one. Any zombie that can pick up items will do.
Honestly, I'm in the same boat with all the hermits. Absolutely addicted to decked out! I am finding myself checking in every day to see if anyone has uploaded their runs. It's been fun watching hermits that I never watched before, like Hypno, Cub, and Joe (I especially like Joe's musical runs). MORE DECKED OUT! I can't wait to see more of your runs, they are soo entertaining, never thought Grian surprised squeaks could make me laugh so hard.
I think your pool is currently entirely down currents, like a really thick waterfall. Swimming up will be considerably slower. This could be fixed with kelp if a dude wasn't constantly hurling tridents at you.
I had the same thought when ice was only being placed on the top layer. More ice might be a quicker fix since it just needs to be placed in the corners and every two blocks apart.
Grian: *sets up a Backrooms-style training hall for the majority of hermits, specifically banning Etho and Hypno from it* Also Grian: *challenges other hermits to avoid a ravager-and-drowned set of challenges*
Don't apologize for the Decked Out focus. We've all been waiting just as long as you Hermits to watch it get played. Everyone seems to be handling the balance of DO to other content, either by having full DO runs on a different channel or video, or editing good clips into their normal stuff.
17:14 I thought he was going to name him "You are the worst!" and I'm kinda sad that he didn't... Would've been really funny seeing hermits' reactions and then Grian explaining "No, he's the worst, not you!"
We watched for 13 months as Decked Out was built to perfection. We are quite invested in the game as well. I very much enjoyed watching "The Worse" tossing trident after trident at you as you put him in place! I hope you will buy the Lackey Tango asst for entertainment!
Interesting concept. Nice build. Also LUL! Side note, thanks for being the second YTer to blind us dark mode users with white concrete! My eyes will never recover. Now if you'll excuse me I'mma go stare at the sun to fix my eyesight.
Grian, don't worry about the amount of decked out videos you've posted, you've only put out 3 on the main channel, and decked out is so entertaining to watch!
Ok, but when you said "new life series soon" i almost fell out of my chair. I have some amazing ideas of what it could be, and im really looking forward to it.
