Fuckass test week

Damn dude, sry

[vital rapids]

You definitely have something that will run classic...

[stoic sleet]

Ive completed maths and im oretty confident in if

[frail bloom]

Pass test first, then enjoy game with no drawbacks

Ingenius

[stoic sleet]

French idgaf about

All i have left of major importance is english

[vital rapids]

The "skills" section of my resume

Doom is always there for us man

In these trying times

[cobalt fog]

Waaaaaiiit a second

Can’t maykr drones not leave urdak?

[frail bloom]

Uhhhh
@hard thistle
Don't know

Maybe they're special lol

[bold mulch]

I think they may not have a natural warping ability like the rest of them, they have to use portals like everyone else

[hard thistle]

Eternal says so but TDA introduces the gold ones, which can.

[frail bloom]

Yeah

[cobalt fog]

The kreed maykrs drones can ?

Why can they? Is it specified why?

[real lynx]

Maybe they can only stay on the kreeds ship?

Maybe its like an extension of urdak

[cobalt fog]

Wish I could

Real

Honestly I feel like if we get a game that takes place before the slayer got blessed by the divinity machine and takes place like after he was captured by the night sentinels we would probably learn more in that one

They don’t speak either right?

Cuz tda ones do speak

[pseudo rampart]

That RABBIT is DAISY

[twilit pumice]

State of play was today?
I'll need to watch it

[cobalt fog]

[slim crypt]

i’m a massive fighting game fan and it delivered, mortal kombat classic games coming with online play and a new marvel fighting game that looks absolutely peak

oh and fucking final fantasy tactics is back

[cobalt fog]

AAAAAAHHHHH

I got scared

Hugo held me at gun point

[vital rapids]

I guess he got you in the...
...gun zone

[hard thistle]

Nope, we see two on Argent D'Nur proper.

For some reason the Kreed's Drones specifically can exit Urdak.

[echo sphinx]

Hi someone want The Dark Ages - DOOM Slayer Verdant Skin
Bethesda?

For free of course

[frail bloom]

Well the kreeds drones seem more sentient amd intelligent anyway so I assume they matured enough to handle it

So ye they're an older breed most likely

[slim crypt]

sniffing the frog legs

[frail bloom]

Uhhh

[slim crypt]

pride month shit

[frail bloom]

Ok then

Why would yu say that

[echo sphinx]

Samir

[frail bloom]

Uh ye

Words mean things

[echo sphinx]

Do you want a skin for free? Nvidia gave it to me

[frail bloom]

Nah give it to someone more deserving, ppreciate it tho

[errant mason]

Taken out the back and shot

[echo sphinx]

No one want it....

[slim crypt]

lmao

[slim crypt]

this what i get for growing up with jamaicans

[frail bloom]

So expressive

Bro is born for theatre, what can I say

So a kreed one next

Kreed is also pretty expressive

I wanna fight him

Looks like a fun enemy

[sharp moat]

he was a commander

thats how u know he cool

i doubt he has any significance to be fought

especially when Doom Guy took over the ship.

The Kreed Maykr was stuck in that realm

[foggy breach]

I realised his ring accessory is damaged.

well, i don't know shit. 🤷

[frail bloom]

I'm still pissed we didn't get a unique mayker track and going off of that, longer mayker sections

I'm hoping dlc expands on it

I just realized I'm betting everything on the dlc lol

"Oh in dlc this, oh in dlc that"

HUGO ARE YU LOOKING

[bold nacelle]

im expecting the dlc to be some of the best work id has done. theyve gotten so much good feedback and with the experience they have so far, i just know we'll
be eating good.

[real crater]

at least we got to saw the kreed in half

maybe we'll get to see the khan maykr again

[delicate grotto]

I think Spire of Nerathul (where you release The Old One) is one of my favorite levels. Atmosphere. Pacing. Combat. Music. It’s all top tier. Has a challenging encounter before you get the BFC too.

One of the more memorable levels imo.

[real crater]

its good but its pretty dame long

[delicate grotto]

It’s very long. I thought it was paced well for what it was though.

[frail bloom]

Pls be true

Plus master levels and a horde mode

Keep this game alive for years to come

[real crater]

i hope the meathook comes back in the dlc but used very sparingly like the melee

only use it to get out of danger not to swing around the arena like the demons are monkeybars

[frail bloom]

How would yu use it if yu have shieldbash which uses the same input

[real crater]

i didnt even think about that well i guess no more meathook then

[frail bloom]

Ye

[karmic dagger]

any word on tda patches

[glacial sundial]

im ngl i thought BFC stood for "big fucking crossbow"

[real crater]

it does but id software is just boring and calls it ballistic force crossbow

it may be officially called ballistic force but in all our hearts its called big fucking

[ancient iron]

Where can I see the Digital Artbook?

[slim crypt]

i thought it was big fucking coc tbh

[analog ravine]

Doom the DANK ages 😎

[delicate grotto]

They’re trying to make it fit with the actual game’s lore. The UAC isn’t gonna call the BFG the “Big Fucking Gun” which is why it’s also called something else in 2016 and Eternal

Calling it that, in-game, would be pushing it for modern Doom lol

[delicate grotto]

Sadly no. I’d expect something mentioned by next week’s stream though.

[karmic dagger]

really hopin for options to turn off parry slomo, some minor UI qol stuff and hopefully an ETA on master levels

[lament grove]

My UN run was so close to ending because i got hit twice by the solo aggadon in chapter 12 💔💔 sent straight down to 5hp but i locked in

[hollow sandal]

Those delayed hits huh?

[celest oyster]

oof. glad you survived

[hollow sandal]

Delayed swings

[lament grove]

Nah im pretty good with those, it was at the very start because i SSG’d it and couldn’t parry

[karmic dagger]

i dont like agadons, they really break the pace of the game imo. like more annoying marauders

[celest oyster]

just made it to Chapter 4

[lament grove]

🙏 we’re making good progress

[lament grove]

I love them, i dont like fighting the Komodos though

[celest oyster]

fourth attempt and finally off Hebeth lol

[karmic dagger]

if i could tweak enemies, i would change how agadon hunters behave and get rid of all poison clouds. mostly like everything else in the game

[lament grove]

Not because i think they break the flow or anything but because they’re the ones that usually get me the most

[karmic dagger]

komodos are weird to fight on non-flat surfaces

i often cant parry their attacks on inclines, feels like tight hitboxes or something

[lament grove]

Im 6 deaths in rn, i think im definitely going to die in the cosmic realm or one of the later chapters because some of those arenas are INSANE

[celest oyster]

Cosmic realm is awful yeah

Especially Cosmic Barons and those stupid Acolytes

[lament grove]

Its just the fire balls whatever they are forgot ngl for me honestly, genuinely never not been hit by them

[celest oyster]

Honestly. Komodos are the weirdest to me XD

[karmic dagger]

can you just tank them with shield or do they do too much shield dmg

[celest oyster]

Just huge lizardmen

Don't even know if they are demons ngl

[lament grove]

Honestly cant recall how much shield damage they do

[karmic dagger]

im usually spazzing out and running away until i see the wind up for a green attack

[lament grove]

Should start doing that, do whatever possible just for this run not to end

Because ive grown to hate going through the earlier levels

[celest oyster]

Same

[lament grove]

Too slow 😭

[celest oyster]

Give me five weapons and let me do my thing :3

[karmic dagger]

ive only beaten UV so far, started a nightmare run and im on ch6 (siege1?) and somehow i havent died yet. i dont think ill be able to bring myself to try UN in this

game is just too long

[celest oyster]

Personally I had sprinting automatic, tutorials off and not much else

I now feel very relieved since I've managed to live through Hebeth, especially the first leader

For uh. Upgrades I've.... Currently grabbed two Shield upgrades and the first Shotgun upgrade

[lament grove]

Nightmare really tests you tbh, especially with the modifiers i set for my first playthrough its no wonder those later chapters got me crying 😭

[celest oyster]

Oof

I'm just playing the default set difficulties for UN

[lament grove]

Yh the main big ones were 50 or 75% damage to demons and 250% damage to player

[lament grove]

Mine arent default still but theyre easier than what i had on nightmare

[celest oyster]

Oh? Well that's good at least

Look I just want the gold stuff lol. But I don't want to set UN to baby difficulty

[inner wigeon]

Look at its face bro, most DEFINITELY a demon

[real crater]

what are demons

all these new dark ages terms have my brain confused

[solemn matrix]

Now on Chapter 13 on Ultra Nightmare Run!

Chapter 12 was a close one for me from being game over…..

[violet lynx]

#MAKE DOOM ETERNAL II

[karmic dagger]

nah, hear me out - a doom game where you can dash AND get a shield AND you can quick swap

[dark thunder]

anyone know how to get the secret gold in ||city of ryuul, in the ceiling where there is water||

[hollow sandal]

Nice

[hollow sandal]

Post a Pic in #screenshots and I can try to help if you want

[dark thunder]

Its aight i found a vid

[hollow sandal]

Ok bet

[next oar]

Someone's bound to make a shield mod with eternals modding tools at somepoint

[inner wigeon]

All hellspawn. We’ve never fought a non demon before if we exclude maykrs and the ss soldier in og doom (I think)

Though doom likes to give demons non biological parts, mancubi being the biggest example of this. Mancubi are pretty much sitting explosives without mechanical enhancement

Maybe thats whats confusing you

[celest oyster]

well, after looking at some notes

The acolytes are the only, true non demons from what i was able to read the lore entry, as they was argent d'nur priests transformed by the witch

[inner wigeon]

I mean, marauders are posessed night sentinels, guess that counts too

[celest oyster]

Marauders are hell corrupted night sentinels

[inner wigeon]

Idk how demons are “made”. Im guessing not sexual reproduction because they…. Lack the parts AND gender so

[kindred shale]

Yea idk when they first got introduced I assumed they were some alien race

[kindred shale]

Nah dark ages was amazing

[celest oyster]

Komodos during the uh... Old One introduction mission after the Kreed plays flip the coin

[kindred shale]

Bro I would change rper to role player in ur bio

[real crater]

every komodo i see adds to my bottled up rage

[delicate grotto]

👎

[real crater]

its like when the skyrim dude kills a dragon

[celest oyster]

Odd critique but know what. Let me edit real quick

[real crater]

every komodo soul increases my power

[kindred shale]

Chainshot go brrr

Chainshot is actually so op it’s not even funny

[real crater]

i do use chainshot

[celest oyster]

Also uh. I think uh... The Cacodemon Hybrids are introduced in that mission before the next one with the Komodo

[kindred shale]

Chainshot plus dreadmace completely annihilates everything

[real crater]

its funny how te chainshot turns the armor into plastic pretty much

[delicate grotto]

Komodos are demons, according to the codex entry on them, though limited information is given.
At first I thought they were Sentinel dragons malformed into augmented demons.

[honest vortex]

Goddamn. Dark Ages clears for me personally :/

[kindred shale]

It turns everything into plastic

[kindred shale]

Honestly gameplay wise I don’t think you can compare them

[real crater]

a lot of people like the challenge that doom eternal provides that not a lot of other shooters do

[celest oyster]

Also! Ngl. Unrelated but the regular zombies i enjoy

[kindred shale]

They’re so vastly different but the same and I love it

[celest oyster]

Since it's a shared design with the 2016 hell ones

[hollow sandal]

Dont worry those youtube polls are bullshit usually. Even tho I agree with the results

[delicate grotto]

Lamee.
Dark Ages clears for me too.

[honest vortex]

I mean I guess, but Eternal's the easiest one in the trilogy for me tbh

[kindred shale]

Jumping back to eternal was an adjustment without the blocking

[kindred shale]

Nahh dark ages is defo way easier

[real crater]

thats the only reason im scared to return

[honest vortex]

Don't agree. Especially with Sliders

[kindred shale]

I don’t think I died at all

[hollow sandal]

The player has more agency in eternal, not to mention the chaingun shield

[kindred shale]

And I mean even ultra nightmare the shield cheeses

[honest vortex]

I died more on my first Dark Ages than I did on my first Eternal playthrough

[kindred shale]

Interesting

[hollow sandal]

Same

[kindred shale]

Idk I found it very easy with the parrying and just everything about the shield

The final boss battle was very easy too

[celest oyster]

Parrying takes some adjustment, but it's pretty good when your paying attention

Unlike Game Journalists

[kindred shale]

I caught onto it very quick, I’ve been playing a lot of chivalry 2 lately though so maybe that contributed lol

[delicate grotto]

I wish people made their vote after playing the game twice. I feel like it’s needed to get a good idea on how you feel about a game. Especially TDA.

[honest vortex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043033811941863475/1380009833876684861/Screenshot_20250604-192608.png?ex=684251cf&is=6841004f&hm=5d53596b37172046f83868b92baf4a0782f1384e23a92094f0a46ef5253bb248&

[real crater]

i wish i wouldve started with the parry window on low so i wouldnt be used to having an excessive amount of time to parry stuff

[kindred shale]

I actually haven’t played 2016

[celest oyster]

Personally for me. I think Space Marine 2 drilled parrying in for me lol

[honest vortex]

These results I'm actually surprised about. Even though I agree this time

[delicate grotto]

So it seems to sit in the middle of the three games

[delicate grotto]

A portion of those voters are likely fans that started with Eternal and define the franchise by it.

[honest vortex]

It's interesting because I seen many communities and groups where 2016's the most popular of the three

Or there'll be 50/50 splits between Eternal and 2016

[kindred shale]

Hey don’t diss us who started with eternal smh

[celest oyster]

Eh.

[honest vortex]

But then a lot of communities will think Eternal's far and away the best and untouchable

[kindred shale]

Even though you’re definitely right. The complaints I’m seeing are completely ridiculous

[celest oyster]

I started with 2016 really

[delicate grotto]

I didn’t mean to generalize, sorry. I’m moreso talking about those who shit on the rest of the franchise because they don’t play like Eternal.

[kindred shale]

“No glory kills” “slower game” “less fluid” even though I found it to be faster and more fluid once you get the flow down

[celest oyster]

Watched TFS and Markiplier play it and at some point after getting a Xbox One. Went frick it. I'll play it

[honest vortex]

Guess what happens when you make all three games very distinct.

Huge community splits, and it can be hard to decipher which game is actually the most liked one

[kindred shale]

honestly I love how different they all are

It’s refreshing to have devs who actually give a shit and want to give good variety

[celest oyster]

Yeah. Personally the need to approach things in the same but different ways is good.

[delicate grotto]

That’s pretty cool honestly. It’s great each game can stand on its own and be considered the “Best” amongst different parts of the community. Can’t go wrong with any one of them.

[kindred shale]

Should I play 2016?

Lots of people told me I’d get bored because I’ve got so many hours on eternal but after tda I’m not sure now

[delicate grotto]

Fair point though, but each game still has the general Doom feel to it. They know what their fans want. Trying to appease them all is the wrong way to go, for sure. It’s impossible.

[delicate grotto]

It’s very different. An entirely new experience. It’s worth it for the atmosphere alone honestly, and it’s just good fun.

[hollow sandal]

The atmosphere and story is really cool. I think the weapons and progression are really fun imo

[kindred shale]

May be recency bias but i genuinely think I enjoyed tda more than my first playthrough of eternal base campaign

[hollow sandal]

So yes try 2016 going in with a positive mindset and I think you'll enjoy

[kindred shale]

Speaking of atmosphere we need to give whoever thought of mixing doom and medieval together

A big fat award

[hollow sandal]

[honest vortex]

I also unironically think it has the deepest combat system. Yes I said it

[delicate grotto]

2016 continues to have the best atmosphere out of the trilogy, and arguably the entire franchise.

[kindred shale]

The combat is definitely more diverse

I think no quickswapping is a positive which at first I hated it but it forced me to try out different weapon combos more rather than just aim and spam

[honest vortex]

I think Dark Ages second half tops 2016's atmosphere.

Like the Cosmic Realm and Pirate ship levels.

Also Hell levels felt like a throwback to 2016's Hell missions

But 2016's atmosphere was ridiculously strong throughout the whole game

[hollow sandal]

Let's think of a way to Resoooolve this...

[kindred shale]

The cosmic realm was trippy as fuck

[honest vortex]

I also think Siege Part 2 was on par with 2016's atmosphere

[honest vortex]

I'd say atmospherically: Dark Ages (Siege Part 2 and general 2nd half), and then 2016, and then either 64, PSX, or DOOM 3 have the best atmospheres. In that order as well.

[delicate grotto]

You’d be right.
Mechanics play off of one another in this game, whereas in Eternal, every utility works independently from one another. There’s a lot more creativity involved with the gun mods and melee system.

But apparently quick swapping and general weakpoints make Eternal infinitely more “deep” lol. No hate to the game, I love it, but it’s not as complex as some give it credit for.

[honest vortex]

I never played an FPS that lets you combine the craziest melee shenanigans into shooting the same way I've seen Dark Ages do.

Shadow Warrior 2 and 3 was the closest. But Dark Ages topped those too

[delicate grotto]

That’s fair. The second half of the game is incredible. I found myself stopping and taking in the scenery every so often.

[hollow sandal]

I can't fucking wait to start my second playthrough

[honest vortex]

I think yeethooks and bunny hops and Eternal's faltering system are also highlights to what people appreciate about Eternal's depth.

[split gate]

This is it

[kindred shale]

I Felt like captain America if he wasn’t family friendly ngl

[split gate]

The gun upgrades has such more depth

[delicate grotto]

Yeah there’s some cool movement tech, that’s true.
The faltering system is also in TDA, especially with the melee combat, but it was more integral to Eternal’s weapon combos.

[honest vortex]

You're basically Angry brutal Sekiro Captain America Master Chief Super Mario.

Literally the coolest thing ever.

[kindred shale]

Eh I think it just feels that way because you’re spending gold

The depth really comes from the parry and shield system

Like I don’t think the combat would be nearly half as good without the shield

[split gate]

Ah I’m talking about the actual upgrades like the cycler shock thing it does

[delicate grotto]

The gun upgrades play off both of those systems though.
Eternal doesn’t do this with its grenade, ice bomb or flamethrower.

[kindred shale]

yea you’re right about that actually

[hollow sandal]

Sorry, what systems do you mean

[delicate grotto]

Shield and parry

[hollow sandal]

Ohhhhh fuck yea, for sure

[kindred shale]

You can upgrade the shield and melee weapons and a variety of runes compared to eternal just being 3 runes+weapon mods

[honest vortex]

Btw Dark Ages has underrated movement tech anyway.

I keep canceling shield bashes with shield toss retreat cancels and it makes me zoom and cancel my hitboxes while instantly being able to act

[hollow sandal]

Weapons are not as Devestating in eternal

[ashen haven]

heh, you guys talking about new doom while i'm sitting here playing classic with a Real Roland Sound canvas

[fleet spruce]

20 maps into BTSX E1

[ashen haven]

or at least an Emulation of one

[honest vortex]

Imma be real here. The weakpoint system wasn't all that IMO

One of Eternal's most overrated mechanics.

The faltering and high damage was sorta neat, but hardly game changing

[hollow sandal]

Eh it's fine, causes falter, makes demon less of a threat

Encourages weapon swap

[honest vortex]

2016 had a weakpoint system anyway.

Pinkies had the exposed backs. Cacodemons got insta killed in their eyes etc...

Mancubus got killed faster in the heart

[tribal patrol]

no love for 2016, what a shame

[honest vortex]

Yeah it was just alright. Not really the Pinnacle of game design like what Eternal fanboys say

[hollow sandal]

Do they say that?

[honest vortex]

You'd be surprised

[delicate grotto]

I kind of agree. Many of the weakpoints in Eternal are trivialized by quick swaps, though I doubt id foresaw how powerful that mechanic would become and how easy it was to get good at.
I still appreciate the system though. It’s neat and satisfying when you knock an attachment off.

Most of that system’s been removed in TDA and replaced by the renewed, destructible system. Way more intense than it was in Eternal and I love it.

Especially when I get to have a couple Hell Knight and Mancubi pets follow me around lol

[honest vortex]

Armless Mancubus legitimately looks terrifying on Siege Part 2 due to the darkness

[delicate grotto]

Lmao

[honest vortex]

But they look badass in a way lol

[sage loom]

is there any way to have a higher resolution?

like its stuck at 2560 × 1440 and im at 2880 × 1800

[karmic dagger]

shooting weakpoints in eternal was really satisfying and it encouraged using different weapons

i try to switch weapons up in tda but the game doesnt really even gently suggest that you do

[honest vortex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379258254999420939/1380029088764526685/Screenshot_20250604-204231.png?ex=684263be&is=6841123e&hm=da02a34789cbcb8588b860e19650bf2b246e9cdc1ac83bfce13c9768f7a56b43&

[sage loom]

also can i disable throwing the shield in slowmotion?

[real rampart]

just don't hold the button

[silent nest]

There's a bug I keep getting that's making me deadass just not wanna play the game anymore and is concerning for Ultra Nightmare.

[brazen cipher]

bullet hell wanna be 1st melee game 2nd fps 3rd thoughts?

[solemn matrix]

Chapter 15 now on Ultra Nightmare Run 🙂 Break Time!

[sage loom]

just figured it out

[fallen violet]

If I beat the game on pandemonium difficulty get the skin and delete the save file will I lose the skin

[hollow sandal]

What color is your hell surge attacks?

[brazen cipher]

green

[hollow sandal]

Wanna change it?

@honest vortex what color are your hell surge attacks?

[brazen cipher]

no i was answering his question but ty

[hollow sandal]

Change yur hell Surge attack color

[brazen cipher]

i c no reason 2 greens fine im aware u can change it

[hollow sandal]

Lol I'm messing with ya

[gritty matrix]

I'm not sure exactly how the system works but looks to me the pieces fall after a certain damage threshold is reached, regardless of where you shoot the monster

[brazen cipher]

complety over my head m8 the joys of autism🤣

[hollow sandal]

No worries man

[brazen cove]

ok just learned the sylar lock on burst tech, it is so useful for tag1 possessed heavy

cause those have soooo much hp

[gritty matrix]

Also I feel TDA weapons aren't tied to monsters but to situations. Monster is far, use rockets. Is close, use ssg or impaler. Lots of small monsters use pulverizer

[brazen cove]

oh i'm in the wrong chat i apologize

[gritty matrix]

But some weapons overlap so it comes to use the one you like the most

[hollow sandal]

Yea pretty much

[gritty matrix]

I think the original doom had almost perfect weapons balance, almost because plasma gun and chain gun overlapped. And plasma gun was way better

Maybe one can make the argument chain gun is hitscan and plasma gun is not, but honestly no monster was fast enough to dodge plasma

Maaaaaaybe pinkies zigzag movements might have made the chain gun marginally better, but why even bother when you can just wait for them to get close and shotgun them.

[fallen violet]

If I beat the game on pandemonium difficulty get the skin and delete the save file will I lose the skin

[gritty matrix]

I think TDA could have balanced is weapons more around armoured monsters. Don't let shotguns make much damage to armor, make the chain shot ignore armor completely, make impaler and shredder effective vs armour but impaler damage scale with monster distance. If close, less damage.

We might had some more interesting scenarios

[brazen cipher]

UNLESS ITS SPEFICLY STATED THAT THERE TIED TO YOUR BETHEDSA ACCOUNT SAFE ASSUMPTRION IS YES

ingore caps in game bind my bad

[gritty matrix]

Not 100% sure, but I'll go with no. Most likely the unlocks get saved as global variables and aren't tied to a specific save game

Otherwise I wouldn't understand how you can select a skin outside of the save game itself

It's very safe to assume that kind of information is saved as profile information.

Also thinking that to establish if you have a skin or not the game should looks up the data of 3 different saves files sounds inefficient as fuck and no person with a sane mind would do anything like that.

[fleet spruce]

Chain gun is still a go to for targets that are far away, especially flying ones imo. Plasma or rockets may not hit even if they're not fast because sheer travel distance allows them to dodge the projectiles.

[brazen cipher]

u say that and i agree but someone witha eledgy sane mind thought it was gr8 idea to make to so ur geared to the teath bad ass dragons rpg only has ammo after a perfect dodge cuz thats how loading ammo works since the dawn of time isent it?

[fallen violet]

Thanks I was worried be cause my strat was to beat pandaemonium delete file for the skin and then beat ultra nightmare for the skin

[gritty matrix]

In the original only cacos are flying, if far I think shooting with the rocket is still a better choice, depending if they're a cloud or a single one, but eventually cacos make a excellent target for chain gun due to the low pain threshold

Oh cacos and lost souls. Maybe we can make a argument for lost souls. Chain gun is great at killing them.

[fleet spruce]

yeah, situation dependent, if they're at decent distance i also launch rockets in their direction until they disperse

[gritty matrix]

That's a case of misled game design unfortunately. Has nothing to do with coding efficiency.

[silent nest]

I got softlocked AGAIN on Pandemonium.

[brazen cove]

jsut alt f4 if it's due to a bug

[silent nest]

I'm on PS5.

Ugh I have to do the level all over again. 🙄

[brazen cove]

unfortunate

[north spire]

the main advantage the chaingun has is ammo

[inner wigeon]

What is the combat music used in the last level?

[north spire]

you'll collect way more chaingun ammo than plasma ammo and firing the plasma gun reduces the amount of times you can shoot the bfg

[north spire]

start of the level: Infernal Chasm

start of the boss fight: Between Hex and Flames

end of the boss fight: Apotheosis

[woven fiber]

I'm on ultra nightmare

[dark thunder]

The mayrks had to know about the cosmic realm right? They were def capping

[woven fiber]

It's not that hard tho

[tribal patrol]

i love the name of that last track, very fitting

[north spire]

Also I have a bit of a nitpick

I dont really like how Berserk is used in TDA. Its basically quad damage
and haste combined into one power up, which is useful but I miss how it used to work in 2016 and Eternal

especially 2016 cause those berserk animations were the best in the game

still, I guess its sort of accurate to how it works in classic doom where it makes your melee damage way stronger

idk

[mental grotto]

Plasma was better, but the ammo economy helped balance this out because in most levels you had to use your plasma sparingly and/or decide whether to save for a BFG blast

[foggy breach]

Yeah, 2016 did good with the berserk powerup compared to others.

[mental grotto]

I agree with you though doom 1/2’s weapon balance was damn near perfect

[dark thunder]

I actually hate the komodo i hope it gets ripped apart into millions of pieces

[honest vortex]

Tbh just default. I never really wanted to change them anyway

[twilit pumice]

Purple looks pretty nice with the red

[errant pagoda]

Back in Doom 1 and 2 plasma cells were scarce compared to bullets and shells, so it made sense that the plasma rifle was actually stronger than say the chaingun in general.
In NuDoom there is effectively no difference in ammo rarity, so the plasmas had to be nerfed to be in line with the rest of the weapons. As a result I barely use them, apart from their mods (stun, ray, shock effect, etc).

Apart from shielded enemies in Eternal I feel like a hypothetical removal of the plasmas would have minimal gameplay impact in the new triology.

[thorny cipher]

I beat Pandemonium

[honest vortex]

Plasma Rifle was actually broken AF in 2016 with the stun bombs and heat blasts. 😂

[errant pagoda]

But that's the thing, the secondary mods were strong, but not the base, primary fire itself.

[mighty glen]

Is there a date for the Doom Dark Ages DLCs?

[wheat sigil]

without any special utility added, brr weapons will never be good in higher level play, because then quick switching would be useless

which is why for example full auto in eternal is useful, but not chaingun base fire

[brazen cove]

plasma has very high dps on single target

in TDA

[north spire]

it DOES get ripped apart into millions of pieces

you get to do it yourself :)

[dark thunder]

Nothing will satisfy me until I can rip it in half with my bare hands or in vr

[twilit pumice]

Think I'd only ever use heavy assault on imps and possessed.
I rarely use Heavy Assault outside of that. Still has its purpose with me

[twilit pumice]

With bigger demons, I would use plasma to trail my target.
Recently I've been using stun bomb with triple burst mod

[spark egret]

Is pc still busted

Or is it playable now? Heard it was a shit show with crashes

[oblique raft]

I never had problem with the game on pc

[fleet spruce]

same

[hybrid sparrow]

I never had problems on pc

[oblique raft]

I had steam issues that it

[hybrid sparrow]

honestly one of the smoothest game releases of the past few years

Eternal was much the same as well

[oblique raft]

I just started playing the dlc I'm having rough time with dlc then campaign on doom eternal

[alpine maple]

TDA never crashed for me at all, no slowdown, no glitches

It’s a very well optimized game, it’s just the fact that it requires RT that made so many people upset

[oblique raft]

What is RT

[fleet spruce]

ray tracing

[hybrid sparrow]

ray tracing

I think people were more upset they never stated it would be RTX only prior to release

[oblique raft]

I can't use rt because I have 3060

[hybrid sparrow]

that does have rt

[oblique raft]

I thought it didn't

[hybrid sparrow]

it's an RTX3060

RTX - Ray Tracing

[oblique raft]

Then I need to get 4k monitor just can't afford one right now

[alpine maple]

I wouldn’t worry about 4K yet, unless you have a 4090-5090 then you won’t get the most out of it anyway

[spark egret]

Uhhhh a 3060 at 4k is a very bad idea

[oblique raft]

I won't touch 50 series cards

[alpine maple]

I have a UWQHD OLED until I upgrade

[alpine maple]

Probably a smart choice but still, unless you have a 4090 or equivalent, don’t worry about 4k

I have a 4070 and I don’t worry about it at all lol

[spark egret]

4k is premium gaming it’s very expensive

[hybrid sparrow]

stick to 1080 or 1440 at most

[oblique raft]

Im thinking about getting rx 9070 xt

[spark egret]

My 13900k is in RMA rn and I’m waiting for it to come back as a 14900k since intel told me they’ll swap it out

After that I’ll try this game out lol 😂

Last game I tried I was very disappointed it was kingdom come deliverance 2

Not a fan of the hyper realistic stuff

[oblique raft]

I don't trust nvida anymore since the bad launch of 50 series card

[alpine maple]

I do think the 5070 is hillarious, it’s literally just a 4070 equivalent but juiced with AI lmao

[spark egret]

4090 is the best gpu imo it’s the new 1080 ti

[alpine maple]

Anytime someone asks if they should get one, I say to just upgrade to a 5080 or get a 4070 super

[oblique raft]

Ai is stupid for graphic card in my opinion

[alpine maple]

Yeah 4090 is the goat currently, I plan on upgrading in a year or so

[spark egret]

My 4090 is a champ love it

My room gets kinda warm though 😂

[oblique raft]

I could get 5070 but it terrible on some games

[spark egret]

Heard 5080 is good price to performance

16gb is mid though I already use more than that at max settings on 4k

On some games

[oblique raft]

I don't want ai graphic card

[remote thunder]

you're practically forced to use dlss/fsr in modern games, so gl running anything without "ai graphic card"

[oblique raft]

40 cards are the best

[alpine maple]

40 cards use AI as well in technically, but it’s not baked in like the 50-series

[oblique raft]

50 series are missing rop

[alpine maple]

Anytime you use framegen, dlss, stuff like that, you’re getting some AI help 😄

[fleet spruce]

It's terrible that these features are being used as band aids for horribly unoptimized games, great on lower performance hardware though to make up for difference in performance somewhat

[oblique raft]

Im new to pc I got mine last Christmas I paid $300 for my pc

[sleek ermine]

And here… we have the gaming beast and workstation card: The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell

Selling for $10000

[oblique raft]

That way to much

[sleek ermine]

It’s workstation so

[oblique raft]

Idc about workstation i only use my pc for gaming

[smoky reef]

That graphic card is made for AI

It's better than the 5090 for gaming with only it's raw power but yeah 10k

[oblique raft]

I wouldn't pay that much for graphic card

[sleek ermine]

People pay more than $20000 for a CPU sometimes

[hybrid sparrow]

not for gaming rigs lmao

[graceful lion]

didnt it get like 100+ fps on an 8k ultrawide monitor?

[hybrid sparrow]

those would be for graphical rendering

[spark egret]

Modern gaming you HAVE to use AI or else the game can’t run properly

[hybrid sparrow]

for 3d modelling and stuff

[spark egret]

It’s just the way it is now lol

[graceful lion]

this is objectively false

2060 non super 6gb, runs tda at 90+ fps

and also amd gpus dont have ai in them?

[spark egret]

Dlss and fsr are AI

[sleek ermine]

I mean FSR4 exists

[graceful lion]

i see

[sleek ermine]

I guess

[graceful lion]

but no, you dont need ai to run a game, you just need developers who care about optimization, like id software

[spark egret]

I think I might just buy this on gamepass

[oblique raft]

I buy it on cdkeys for $64

[spark egret]

I planned on getting 2 other games that are on there already

[graceful lion]

you can check allkeyshop, it gets sold for like 55 ish there

[sleek ermine]

It’s $6 less than normal

[graceful lion]

yeah the most the game's being sold for is like 33% off

[spark egret]

My friends all have gamepass and can game share me but I’ll probably give them 10 bucks or something LOL

[alpine maple]

I loved Gamepass back when I had an Xbox but now that I’m strictly PC, I just don’t like using anything other than Steam

I bought Expedition, Oblivion and Doom(from GMG) when the smart thing would’ve been to get a month of PC gamepass for $12 and play through them all lmao

[spark egret]

I was soooo bored of oblivion

Also you’re right it’s convenient to just plug it into steam and go on your way

But I like saving money lol

[oblique raft]

I never liked Xbox

[honest vortex]

Beat Titan's Realm on my DOOM 2016 Nightmare replay, and damn, that level is still a goddamn masterpiece.

[alpine maple]

I grew out of my Nintendo fanboy mentality around the time the Wii came out, I saw all the awesome games Xbox 360 was getting and decided Nintendo was getting left behind, so I bought a 360 and then eventually a PS3 and for awhile, I owned every single console, but Xbox was my primary place to pay

[oblique raft]

I was always sony person

[alpine maple]

But I ditched them all for PC a few years back. All I have left for a console is a single Nintendo switch somewhere for my kids, but they don’t like Nintendo so it never gets used. Sold my XSX and PS5 about 2 years ago now

[oblique raft]

Before I got a pc I was on ps5

[hard thistle]

Well, after Xbox One fiasco, the only reasonable thing to do was to move onto PC.

[oblique raft]

Console cost more then pc

[smoky reef]

Yeah it's wild, the raw performance would be like X1,5 in gaming compared to the 5090

[graceful lion]

if thats what we can expect from the 60 series, im interested

[smoky reef]

We're talking about a 10k graphics card tho

At least we know that the can boost the power of the GPU a lot if they want but they don't do it prob for the dlss

[oblique raft]

Im just getting rx 9070 xt because it's best deal for me

[smoky reef]

Go ahead

I'll end up changing my 7800xt for a 9080 whenever it releases tbh

[oblique raft]

The price of rx 9070 xt is crash

[smoky reef]

That graphic card performance doesn't even make sense in general

[oblique raft]

Why is that

[smoky reef]

It's so well made that you get the max of the card in all of the games

[oblique raft]

I heard u get same performance as 5080

[smoky reef]

It's balanced + fsr4 is a big deal for the future

[smoky reef]

Yeah my card battles the 5070

But whenever the dlss comes in things change

[oblique raft]

I hope rx 9070 xt can handle Witcher 4 and cyberpunk 2077 2

[smoky reef]

Well it's gonna be tough

That's a next next gen game for what they've showed (I'm sure it'll handle it but I don't know)

[oblique raft]

I know cyberpunk is high demanding game on pc

[vital rapids]

Yeah. Heavy path tracing we have to wait and see, but probably. It's an excellent card

[smoky reef]

The only thing that scares me for those cards is the path tracing

How they will handle those games

[graceful lion]

it definitely will tbh, the raytracing on the 90 series gpus is really really good compared to the 70 series

[oblique raft]

Im trying to save up for it but money been tight for me lately

[vital rapids]

Yeah, because they are beasts for raw power, and RA seem to handle simple ray tracing with effectively no penalty, complex remains to be seen. But real talk a lot of us will switch on all the shinies if we can with a new graphics card and hope it will work well.

This is a concern with low end rtx 50 too though, tbh. I guess we wait and see

[smoky reef]

We'll have to wait yeah but I gotta say that the new AMD gen is great in general

50 series is alright but it hasn't surprised me it's a small improvement (only big thing the dlss)

[graceful lion]

7060xt seems to be an alright card, not bad, but nothing spectacular also

costs 30 bucks less, but similar performance, to a 5060 ti and sometimes surpassing it, but its decent

[smoky reef]

AMD in raw performance it always outplay Nvidia

It's true that they're going into the AI market rn

[graceful lion]

well yeah even nvidia most of their marketshare is ai stuff

[smoky reef]

You can see it on the gaming side, it's getting less and less important

[fading coral]

is dark ages worth buying for full price or should i wait for a sale?

[vital rapids]

idk man. The 060 cards this gen are all pretty bad. 8gb cards released withheld from review by BOTH companies wtf. 9070 range is great, thank goodness they are competitive, but amd just seem to be aping nv's product (and behavior) at every turn

We need intel to step up. Desperately

[graceful lion]

i mean, isnt the 16 gig version of the 70 series like 50 bucks more?

[vital rapids]

70 cards are all good value by comparison. I think the effective "GPU cartel" has decided 060 is the new 050

Still, it's all expensive atm. Not gonna get better

[smoky reef]

Depends on you, it's a great game but it's quite expensive you can wait for sales and get it for 50, I bought it because I love the saga

[urban whale]

Lol the first one

[vital rapids]

I'll put it this way, the price point is the only concern I would have about strongly recommending it.

If you can get it at a good sale price certainly rip their arm off

If the price is not a big deal for you,same applies

[sonic turret]

So in TDA you're in Hebeth with the Sentinels right? It's just that Samuel Hayden says that the ancient city of Hebeth was before the Slayer's time with the Sentinels. 🤔

[errant pagoda]

Yep, the ancient city, not the science base we see in tda.

Most likely it's already buried in tda.

[vital rapids]

We could do with some clarification on Hebeth. Hebeth kind of seems to be an ancient city on a planet that may also be called Hebeth, plus a settlement on Mars... ie "New Hebeth". So are there 2 or 3 Hebeths?

Is it daytime for mono?

[fleet spruce]

It also seems like Sentinels also refer to Mars as Hebeth judging by the intro cutscene to the level

[green tusk]

Does anyone know where Dark Ages takes place?

[graceful lion]

he means that hebeth existed before the slayer's time with the sentinels

[uneven dragon]

It’s the Lost of City of Hebeth as in the lost city of the planet Hebeth

[woven fiber]

Howdy

[severe path]

what does everyone think then>

doom player here since '93

[vital rapids]

Right, so lost city of Hebeth is on the planet Hebeth, and there is also Hebeth the settlement on Mars

[torn cairn]

Has anybody been able to get berserker?

I've gotten all melee weapon upgrades and shield rune + shield upgrades and still nothing

[earnest swift]

Argent D’Nur primarily.

[earnest swift]

Either do a second playthrough up to Map 16 where you get every relevant upgrade at once or wait for the first patch to fix it.

[vital rapids]

Was it fsr/dlss?

[torn cairn]

Ah alright I think I'll just wait through it

[tired rock]

Have anyone finished this game in UN diff? I'm asking for some tips. Which one should I upgrade first right away when I got enough gold fot a bunch of upgrade? Weapon first? Shield? Or the punch? I'm looking for the most optimal route.

[vital rapids]

Or like Mexico, Mexico City and Mexico, Maine if the last of the three were originally settled by Mexicans. Cool, ty

Hebeth, Hebeth City and Hebeth, Mars

[violet lynx]

lame

[violet lynx]

no Doom Eternal II would of been cooler

[wispy parrot]

Eternal gameplay is peak but you expect expansion on the combat in sequels, I don’t think you can push it even further without it being so overwhelming

[fossil spear]

guys i found a cool out of bounds glitch

[fleet spruce]

Which is probably part of the reason they went with completely different gameplay direction for TDA.

[half spindle]

Cap.

[hard thistle]

Hebeth is what the Sentinels called Mars, yes. The outpost we fight on in TDA is wholly separate from the Lost City, which is underground.

[gritty matrix]

Do tell

[pulsar granite]

So it's actually the lost city of mars

So hebeth and the lost city of hebeth are two different things entirely

[fossil spear]

so in “from beyond”, the first on foot arena has a core that you destroy via shield charge to get on your dragon, you can actually go back and land on that arena again and jump through the gap left by your shield charge, and you fall down into the areas where the dragon can fly through and walk around in them as the slayer

[hard thistle]

Yes. Imagine if Earth was abandoned and people found the ruins of Los Angeles and called it the Lost City of Earth.

[gritty matrix]

@dark yoke are sentinels human since they use both sentinel and humans and do they coexist with humans or are antecedent?

[dark yoke]

wrong ping my man

[hard thistle]

Something to remember about the Sentinels as that their interplanetary settlements are described as "disparate." Meaning that, for much of history, various Sentinel settlements could not easily communicate with each other and branched off into different cultures.
The Bethian Clansmen came up with a solution to this, and that solution was Slipgates, which enabled Sentinels to utilize long-range teleportation, which could unify the Sentinel empire into one society.
The Lost City of Hebeth was lost for whatever reason long before the events of TDA. The Bethians are still around in TDA though, and their Slipgate tech is how the Slayer and Novik can be there fighting.

By the time 2016 happens the Bethians are gone and Slipgate tech has gone under the radar. Sentinel settlements are now separated from each other again, which is how the Sentinels on Earth became humans with no knowledge of the Sentinels of Argent D'Nur.

[hard thistle]

Sentinels are humans. They are the same species. The Sentinels are just a culture of human that pre-dates humanity's presence on Earth.

Essentially if you compare the Sentinels and, uh, Earth-ians... It is the same species but a different culture. Like comparing Canadians and Germans.

I'm not sure if that is a thing on Mars or not, but IIRC Eternal's Codex implies the Lost City of Hebeth fell because of some sort of conflict or fall. But I would have to check.

[pulsar granite]

It's on mars

Just like on every planet besides gas planets

[hard thistle]

Fair, I'm no scientist. In that case it is probably possible.

[pulsar granite]

Gas planets are stuff like neptune and Saturn yk

[wild rose]

Why is Azrack fight so miserable?

[pulsar granite]

Sigh

[wild rose]

Most the attacks don't even have proper attack signs or they just bait

[hard thistle]

Enhanced Ahzrak's fight kicked my ass my first time. I felt like even the minimum parry window in TDA was too forgiving... Until Enhanced Ahzrak, then I couldn't land them to save my life.

[pulsar granite]

He has two fights so we don't know which one he's talking about

[wild rose]

With every demon, like Baron or Cyberdemon, their arms will spark green which is when you lift the Shield. With Asscrack (first fight) most of them seem bait

He will cut you clean in one frame without a single green glow

[hard thistle]

It is definitely the best fight in Doom from both a gameplay and spectacle standpoint.

[wild rose]

Indeed

And I fought him multiple times already

But it seems very hard to learn his parry windows because it's different from every demon. I've played this campaign 4 times already

[pulsar granite]

Good thing I changed parry color to magenta

[wild rose]

The problem are his surprise single attacks

[split gate]

on all the wads I have in my PC, people would not like Doom Eternal II if it was made. It would receive more criticism than TDA

[wild rose]

Some have a clear notification, but many don't

I find myself just spamming shield. It's pathetic

[pulsar granite]

https://tenor.com/view/cthulhu-hp-lovecraft-lovecraft-lovecraftian-lovecraftian-horror-gif-8066380572562568174

[wild rose]

Why the fuck is it working!?

Is green a bad color or something?

[barren shale]

I'd recommend making it white, it stands out the easiest by far, and since different enemy projectiles have different colours changing it to anything else just gets confusing

[pulsar granite]

Yes it is

[wild rose]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/s/86MJyeREoD
Wanted to get this specific color. Does anyone know how to get it?

[pseudo rampart]

I changed mine to yellow and I parry better and it isn’t super immersion breaking

[wild rose]

This is the combo I hate, the 3rd attack and the ones after have little to no notification
#videos

Wait really?

Hum indeed he just does surprise attacks when I'm close

Long time I don't fight him

I just played TAG2 once. I need to play it again to make my money worth it

But I guess it's like the Marauder

He just did this combo while I was 10m from him

@storm forge but it was way easier now

Thanks

[lime pilot]

can somebody help me. my shield isnt showing, i cant throw or block but if i hold r the game does slow down. and i cant change weapons. im stuck rn

[graceful lion]

when in doubt, restart from checkpoint

[lime pilot]

pandemonium

[graceful lion]

fuck

[pulsar granite]

Doom the broken game ages

[graceful lion]

a bunch of bugs were discussed in the last hugo interview thingy

which will be fixed next patch update, this month

[lime pilot]

verifying files did nothing, just gonna reinstall and hope for the best

[harsh egret]

sometimes i wonder if saving more bug fixes for one bigger patch is the best idea

instead of just patching the game with more fixes on the go

[graceful lion]

if it still dont work, wait fir the update

[graceful lion]

well, nvidia did say that an update this month is coming for pathtracing, and i think its gonna do more than path tracing

[lime pilot]

its just weird, i played yesterday, everything is fine. today my shield just decided its time for a vacation

[harsh egret]

a part of me is on that fat cope that they will drop a mini trailer at the xbox showcase for the update together with maybe horde mode or smth in terms of side content
but all of that is insane cope, ik
again that path tracing update should have nothing to do with gamebreaking bugs, if u have fixes for stuff just add them asap, at least a patch per week or smth lol

[graceful lion]

if this game doesnt have a horde mode then id fucked up really bad

[azure ocean]

can i still get the dark ages shield pfp thing or is it too late

[harsh egret]

idk if i misunderstood but i felt like they kinda teased it last stream?

[graceful lion]

aint no way u gonna have the ability for 50+ enemies in an arena and u dont have a horde mode

[lime pilot]

too late unfortunately

[azure ocean]

damn aint ever coming back?

[harsh egret]

and i like being delusional so what i think Hugo is saying when he says he is playing dark ages all day is he is actually testing horde mode before he leaves on vacation

[lime pilot]

probally not, those things are usually one time things

[azure ocean]

bruh

[lime pilot]

yep mine was glitched and i couldnt get it, emailed discord about it, didnt help at all. very sad

[harsh egret]

[lime pilot]

alright reinstalling my game brought my should back 😭 dumb bug

nvmmmmmm... went through like half the chapter aaaand gone just gonna wait for patch at this point

[tired rock]

I'm on chapter 6 on UN, 2 hours total so far

I've never been more locked in into a game before, well second to Eternal UN at least.

[vital rapids]

Did you try switching your shield control between hold and toggle in the settings when this happens, to see if it resets it? No idea if it would help

[lime pilot]

i changed all kinds of settings, nothing did it

[tribal patrol]

Apothesis is such an underrated track

[sonic turret]

@lime pilot do you have Nitro?

[vagrant path]

what do you think makyr meat tastes like

[barren warren]

battery acid

[vagrant path]

like if you cooked up one of the lil drone bastards

[tired rock]

Mercury

[vagrant path]

Personally I think it'd taste like really fake and dry beef

like how I imagine 3D printed meat would taste

[graceful lion]

well, they are ai at first, so you mean transfigured maykrs

theyre machines basically, its just that transfiguration made them fleshy

[honest vortex]

Maykr would taste like alien robots

[vagrant path]

So in that case

what would transfigured makyr cooked medium rare taste like?

[wild rose]

I didn't know the Old One could turn invisible

[proud cloud]

They made the old one fly but the tyrants just stay on the ground 😭

[tired rock]

Y'know, I was really hoping that Serrat gameplay intensity is the same as Railjack mission from Warframe. Like just all that gazillion of enemies ship hunting yo ass

[graceful lion]

well, its hell, runs on demons that are grounded, finding or trying to make flying ones is kinda hrd

[hard thistle]

Really bad synthetic meat.

[tired rock]

I guess it's fair but like the ship that we fought just... floats there, in place, they don't spawn any caco or any other mob to help defending it, it's just a bunch of hopeless turrets bruh

[lime pilot]

yep

[tired rock]

Atp, it feels like a GTA 5 helicopter mission is way more intense than any Serrat section from this game.

[graceful lion]

and thye dont have much of a reason to since most of the places they invade arel ikely also grounded

[sonic turret]

What should the latest version of TDA show as?

[sonic turret]

Then I've no idea.

[tired rock]

I disagree on that. It's literal humanity Vs. All of hell, literal legions of them, it would make sense if they also invade the aerial space too with Caco, Revenant, whatever.

Like big ass ships should be included too, a moving one at least. But eh, I'll see if they do something about it in the DLC let's say.

I mean, if they all just stays on ground even Serrat can just destroy all of em from above, lmao nothing that they can do about, even with the titans.

[plush geode]

Yeees I just beet the game on UN

https://tenor.com/view/mgs-metal-gear-solid-youre-pretty-good-ocelot-mgs4-gif-14577328

It kicked my arse so many times near the end mostly because they do 250% more damage towards you. It sucks when it comes to the 2nd to last mission you know where you fight the Prince of hell dude

[harsh egret]

1gb update wut

[worn lion]

What in it?

[mystic crow]

I couldn't find anything

[hard thistle]

yeah parry slop boss, ion like it

[harsh egret]

it literally JUST popped up for me, nothing new on steam yet

[plush geode]

Same

[mystic crow]

maybe bugfixes most likely

[plush geode]

It’s a cool boss, but on ultra nightmare it’s kind of annoying because you have to be very precise with your parents so it’s not like running the game or normal difficulty

[harsh egret]

as soon as i complained about them not releasing stuff, they do lol

[hard thistle]

never played the game on normal so wouldn't know, but yeah ion like his boss fight

[mystic crow]

I want myself a horde mode rahhh

[mystic crow]

I'd rather wait long for big updates rather than small short ones ngl

[hard thistle]

should have been there since release, but guess we'll wait a year or 2 instead

[mystic crow]

I agree it is bit disappointing. I loved horde mode in eternal. It wasn't perfect but definitely was enjoyable. This game is perfect for that.

[harsh egret]

i mean a 1gb update can include quite a bit

im still hoping they announce something in terms of side content at the xbox showcase, unlikely but i like being delusional ig

100% nothing about dlc tho

[worn lion]

Probably have to wait for Quakecon for any dlc news

[pulsar granite]

Why the fuck is it still called quakecon if quake is very dead

[harsh egret]

i wouldnt be surprised if they dont show anything there either for the dlc tbh

unless they do what they did with tda last year at quakecon ofc

[ancient trout]

Cuz Quake is awesome

[static rover]

what is in new update can tfind patch notes

in xbox it says update

[harsh egret]

no patch notes yet

[hollow sandal]

Maybe we'll get news on a patch in the next stream

[scenic latch]

Yo guys, did game just got update?

[vital rapids]

Quake is not dead!!!

It's resting.

[vital rapids]

"made glory kills mandatory"

[barren warren]

most dragon enemies will now only fire green projectiles

berserker achievement fix

[vital rapids]

I should point out that this was a joke before anyone sticks their head in the oven

[graceful lion]

Added – launcherData/base/declTree/string/launcher/hags_warning_header.decl (211 B)
the game warns you about the acolytes ig

[barren warren]

no-music bug fixed

changing un sliders back to default keeps the modified tag, based

[harsh egret]

https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en-US/article/doom-the-dark-ages-update-1?linkId=100000368322440

[barren warren]

shield fix

[graceful lion]

"Resolved an issue in which players could skip to future levels by highlighting them in the Level Selection menu"

[barren warren]

[night basalt]

Beserker trophy fixed with new update??

[graceful lion]

yup

[night basalt]

Yessssss

Finallyyyy now it can say 28/28😭

[vital rapids]

Ahhhh it's not in every region. I was looking at EU version

[night basalt]

Does anyone know if the beserker trophy just pops if you open the game after the update?

[graceful lion]

u can try

[ancient trout]

Yes

[graceful lion]

nope, its in every region

[dark thunder]

Everyone must replay the game to hear the soundtrack

[vital rapids]

Yeh, the front page just updated for EU

[dark thunder]

Cosmic realm ost gonna go hard with the new mixing

[vital rapids]

Berserker bug fixed in update

[graceful lion]

[lament grove]

[vital rapids]

Oh, they killed sprint lines! So you don't have to kill other effects to get rid of them. nice!

[graceful lion]

need to restart

[split gate]

Holy shit chat I saw the update announcement

[lament grove]

yh im gonna restart now i just enabled it

[split gate]

Audio will be so back ahhh!!!

[split gate]

Aight who snitched

[night basalt]

Great, i was scared i was gonna have to replay the whole game for it to pop

[graceful lion]

wouldve been funny to keep tbh

[night basalt]

Makes sense that it pops when you launch tho bc of them ingame achievements

[split gate]

Speedruns would’ve been fire

[graceful lion]

"i BEAT doom the dark ages with THE NORMAL SHOTGUN and NO MELEE WEAPON"

[harsh egret]

the shieldsaw dissapearing being fixed makes me happy

[surreal summit]

what was the patch today aboot?

[lament grove]

medal still hates the game, unfortunate 😔

[surreal summit]

[harsh egret]

holy fuck the music is so FUCKING loud in the main menu after the update

[split gate]

Just as the Ancient Gods intended

[lament grove]

yep LOL

im about to go back to my nightmare save and get the final 4 achievements i need to plat it

[harsh egret]

i died dude

[simple mist]

The act man made a shitty doom tda review

[dusk robin]

what was the new update today?

[dark thunder]

music been bugged since tag 1

[simple mist]

Oh lord here we go again Xd

[harsh egret]

to those who didnt see the patch notes yet:
https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en-US/article/doom-the-dark-ages-update-1?linkId=100000368322440

[dusk robin]

thanks

[vital rapids]

id just casually listening to players and doing the stuff the players want
Practically a superpower in modern game companies tbh

[median prawn]

Hey, I just got the new patch on my PS5 and the game looks noticably blurrier and worse overall. Anybody experiencing this?

[frank turtle]

auto spirit vfx gone hell yeah

[vital rapids]

@small wren update just patched the berserker achievement bug

[tranquil badge]

the fixing of the music leveling is very nice

[pulsar granite]

Can we disable slow mo chat

[simple mist]

How is the in-game music now

[tranquil badge]

Loud

[pulsar granite]

And has path tracing been added yet? I wanna run burn down my house by turning it on

[vital rapids]

I think that was for later like master levels @pulsar granite but I'm hoping someone will tell us otherwise

[tranquil badge]

Have it at 100%, pc audio is at 50, very much so loud and clear now 😂

[harsh egret]

yh they recommended to reset audio setting to default btw

[tranquil badge]

yeah I just started the forge level, pretty much can only hear the music now

[harsh egret]

ngl the main menu music fucked my ears when i opened the game

[dusk robin]

yeah it wasn't great but he did point out some things that I did agree with like the glory kills, I know they're still in Dark Ages but it would be nice to see something of 2016 or Eternal levels of Glory Kills. Like ripping the head off a titan, or ripping the jaw off a titan but in a downward motion so it tears the skin off its chest revealing ograns and blood and HUGE GUTS!.

[dark thunder]

awesome. UN run is broken because the door doesn't wanna open even with the keycard

[pulsar granite]

Keycard issue

[simple mist]

Eh,id argue the old glory kill system wouldnt work for tda.

[tranquil badge]

Alright, game is much louder in general 😂

[dark thunder]

im gonna pretend my monitor is the komodo

[simple mist]

Thats like adding ac6ses stagger system in FA

[lament grove]

yeah its DEFINITELY different bro theres some like riffs that i've never heard before, im on village of kahlim rn

[vital rapids]

As long as they don't block combat like in the other games I would be all for this. Now Glory Kills are an actual visual treat and not a chore, make 'em fun

[dusk robin]

yeah for the new gameplay style but still would be nice to see something cool, I don't think ID could add in glory kills.

[dusk robin]

exactly

[simple mist]

I mean....glory kills are just diffrent in TDA

[harsh egret]

You know what my only complaint is about the glory kills in tda?
Most of them dont have loud enough sfx from the shieldsaw

Didn't see ppl actually talk about that

[lament grove]

genuinely my biggest gripe where is the meaty sound bro

[harsh egret]

Yup, imagine they fixed it now,
Ill see later since im starting a new playthrough lol

But i doubt it

[tranquil badge]

the sound of the slayer hitting the ground on impact is echoing through my headphones and skull

[fair jasper]

whos the owner of this server?

[dusk robin]

a mix of bethesda and ID

[fair jasper]

oh thanks man you the best

[dusk robin]

np

[fair jasper]

i just beat the dark age on nightmare as my first run

[dusk robin]

congrats

[fair jasper]

ultra nightmare is next

[dusk robin]

also the music is defintely more louder, GOOD!.

[lament grove]

yeah istg the mixing is so much better theres new like mid-combat ambience riffs before the main beat drops but im genuinely not sure

[harsh egret]

yh its rly good

[fair jasper]

prefer eternal music

[lilac swan]

the skin is beautiful, it's worth it

[fair jasper]

show me rq

[lilac swan]

i will send on #screenshots

[hard thistle]

HOOOOOOLY FUCKING SHIT BATTLE KNIGHT AND ARACHNOTRON CODEX FILES.

[harsh egret]

fuck yeah

[small wren]

When was the update released?

[harsh egret]

can someone test if the parry window has been lowered on the lowest setting?

hugo mentioned it, but im not sure if it was included in the patch or if thats still coming

[lament grove]

i dont feel a difference

[harsh egret]

alr then not yet

[fair jasper]

ngl i forgot the difficulty settings was a thing..

[graceful lion]

they didnt have them?

[hard thistle]

They did not, they were missing.

[fair jasper]

nice user...

@hard thistle whats ur favorite demon

[hollow sandal]

I not able to check right now. Will the codex just show up if I've progress thru the story?

[hard thistle]

I am a nice user, thanks.

[hard thistle]

Enemy Codex files appear when you kill them for the first time.

[lament grove]

music is so loud btw i pulled off a shield saw glory kill and couldnt even hear the saw sound 😭

[hard thistle]

Archvile.

[fair jasper]

i dont like you...

[hollow sandal]

But the battle knight and arachnatron

[hard thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/house-house-md-huh-hugh-laurie-gif-5750615313035362070

[hollow sandal]

The ones that were missing

[harsh egret]

yeah thats one thing they need to fix, add some beefy sfx for those glory kills

[fair jasper]

i dont like that either

[harsh egret]

idk if they will or not, would be dope

[vital rapids]

About now, give or take

[empty furnace]

the best demon is the flying meatball

[fair jasper]

yes
-# actually its revenant fr fr

[hollow sandal]

The ones that were missing tho. They will just appear? In my completed profile?

[hard thistle]

I think you'll have to find and kill them again.

[graceful lion]

mmmmm, for me its definitely up there too

[hollow sandal]

Ok thanks

[graceful lion]

its the perfect demon that makes itself a pain in the ass, defends itself, deflects your shoots, shoots you from the other end of the map, summons enemies near you, tanky as fuck, runs away to the other side of the map

[empty furnace]

are demons intelligent?

[graceful lion]

they had a few opportunities to kill doomguy and didnt, so no, i dont think they are

[hard thistle]

Some demons are sapient.

Arachnotron file.

[slim crypt]

update live rn?

[foggy breach]

THEY HAVE THE ARACHNOTRON CODEX NOW?

[lament grove]

yes

[slim crypt]

goonin time

[wild rose]

@hard thistle
"The Arachnotron Codex page now appears consistently within the Dossier"

[mental grotto]

Wait did they add them??

[wild rose]

You must be so happy now lmao

[hard thistle]

Yeah, I posted the Arachnotron one.

[wild rose]

Oh there you are already

[mental grotto]

Oh shit I see now that’s fucking awesome

[wild rose]

Did you realize we didn't have the Battle Knight one?

[slim crypt]

mono got even more content now

[wild rose]

Still doesn't explain why they have legs lmao

[small wren]

Ok, I'll go see it tonight. Thanks

[hard thistle]

Yeah.

[wild rose]

Really lmao? Now we have to tone the music down?

[mental grotto]

True, they go from mechanical in doom 2 to fleshy, then to mechanical again in eternal

[hard thistle]

Well, it seems to imply Arachnotrons have legs by default and that when they're given cybernetic legs it's either as armor or the legs are cut off.

You initially assume Arachnotrons just are brains and given robo-legs but TDA tells us they have legs by default, and cybernetics are added for the sake of strengthening them.

[lament grove]

yes, its probably cuz i did it on a pinky rider and that one is like rlly quick, ill try it out on a mancubus and see what its like

[wild rose]

I believe it was already changed, because after he mentioned it I was unfamiliar with the time parrying

[mental grotto]

Likely just UAC bullshittery then

[wild rose]

Did you guys find any difference in gameplay?

[hard thistle]

I would presume Hell used their own tech for the Arachnotrons of the originals, then switched to UAC manufacturing in Eternal.

[harsh egret]

i dont have any memory of that being mentioned anywhere in any patch or tuneable

[wild rose]

It wasn't. Hugo just mentioned it in the first stream and after the first tunable the timing was weird imo

[harsh egret]

i feel like it would be better for them to add just an extra bar on the setting either way

[wild rose]

Maybe it's a placebo effect

[harsh egret]

yeah i think it is

[formal root]

wdym naturally sightless??

[harsh egret]

they wouldve mentioned it, and im also not sure thats a tuneable thing they can do

[lusty oracle]

did they fix the berserker trophy?

[harsh egret]

yes

[lusty oracle]

i just tried it i have a save pruchasing them all at once and it didnt work

[graceful lion]

they seem to mostly sense vibrations like spiders

[wild rose]

I didn't know they would add invisibility to the Old One's abilities

[lusty oracle]

do i need a new playthrough?

[harsh egret]

no clue actually

[formal root]

every copy of doom: the dark ages is personalized

[hard thistle]

Their eyes probably don't work.

[lusty oracle]

wonder why my final trophy hasnt worked yet

been waiting weeks lol

[harsh egret]

yh many ppl been waiting on that one

[lusty oracle]

yea just tried it again still doesnt work

[dusk robin]

I've noticed they've added a lot more blood for the titans

[empty furnace]

just tank it

[wild rose]

Look at this shit lmao
#videos

[meager vortex]

next month big update soon

[hard thistle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1313873565145235506/1380220882953179286/image.png?ex=6843165d&is=6841c4dd&hm=a2ef8f704f597e63d252ab91b9a4b7d3b56f03161f7521a1ee811a6e8de03db5&
Battle Knight page.

[wild rose]

Maybe you'll need to try in a new save. Luckily I have one just waiting to be upgraded in case of this

[slim crypt]

they made atlan even better hallelujah

[wild rose]

Wdym?

[meager vortex]

stay tune

[slim crypt]

after a finisher you can still use previous combos

[harsh egret]

do u mean the path tracing update?
wasnt that coming this month

[wild rose]

Wdym by previous combos? The R1 attacks?

[covert goblet]

And yet, they are still weak to the slayer.

[slim crypt]

given that’s how you attack. yes

[frank turtle]

this music bangs

[meager vortex]

master level i think

[wild rose]

I mean the palm attack and plasma cannon

[harsh egret]

absolutely destroyed my ears when i opened the game

[harsh egret]

where do u have this info from?

[slim crypt]

it’s more fluid now

[wild rose]

I want to see those stupid people complaining about music now

[meager vortex]

i have infomer

[lusty oracle]

thats good man i was supposed to have plat since the game dropped

[covert goblet]

Congrats. Now you don't have to hear the maykrs whining for the slayer to protect them.

[wild rose]

In default settings or in the way ghey were?

[harsh egret]

uh huh.

[harsh egret]

on what i had before ye xd

[wild rose]

This was already like that. They changed it in a tunable

[slim crypt]

dawg. it’s in the notes it’s after a finisher is used

[harsh egret]

"master levels coming next month" -it was revealed to me in a dream

[wild rose]

General gameplay balance refinements (some of these were previously Active Tunables that have been removed from that article and committed to the game in Update 1). These are denoted below as: (*PT) for "Previous Tunable"
Atlan
(*PT) Reduced how long health drops linger in the world when in the Atlan
(*PT) Updated the Atlan combo system so that after using a Finisher, the player can still use the previous one

[meager vortex]

my infomer he said next month big update coming

[wild rose]

"Previous Tunable"

[dusk robin]

Lucid dream perhaps

[harsh egret]

ill believe it when i see it

[wild rose]

I dreamt last week we'd have a MP mode where we played as Kreed

[heavy python]

Is the berserker trophy supposed to auto pop if it was bugged or do we have to replay

[harsh egret]

but tbf thats almost like saying the floor is made out of floor

[wild rose]

It's supposed to be an auto pop lmao

[heavy python]

Maaaannn

[tardy plinth]

Still doesn’t work for me

[meager vortex]

it just dream

[heavy python]

Still bugged for me then

[lusty oracle]

yea same tried it 3 times

[cold hatch]

is the premium edition worth it, seeing stuff on google about the DLC not being out yet

[harsh egret]

i think u have to do a new playthrough unless im stupid

[lusty oracle]

how is such a simple trophy been bugged for this long

[wild rose]

"Resolved an issue in which some users could not unlock the Berserker Achievement/Trophy upon obtaining the necessary upgrades. This should resolve retroactively for affected users "

[lusty oracle]

im thinkin that too

[heavy python]

Maybe the real platinum trophy is the friends we made along the way 😭
I swear I'm never getting it atp

[harsh egret]

no but like any other game, u get it when it is out

[wild rose]

I have no idea what retroactively means

[frank turtle]

trophy fixed for me (xbox)

[lusty oracle]

literally lol

[hard thistle]

no

[slim crypt]

gore portal crash is fixed too

[frank turtle]

100% complete 🖤🔥

[cold hatch]

yeah just gonna buy the normal version then buy the DLC when it's out, ty guys

[harsh egret]

here in norway the premium is like 10 dollars more only, its a no brainer

[wild rose]

Hot take: the concept art you use as pfp is better than the chosen suit for the fame

[harsh egret]

cuz the base game is 86 dollars lol

[hard thistle]

normal is even less worth, wait for sale

[wild rose]

GTFO here

[harsh egret]

LOL

[slim crypt]

modified campaigns being marked is funny

[wild rose]

Every penny. You get to play the game 24h earlier than everyone

[harsh egret]

lmao yea

[hard thistle]

no theglazer19

[harsh egret]

bruh

[heavy python]

Tbf he's kinda right. 70 bucks for a 12 hour campaign is kinda crazy. Most people won't play it more than once

[wild rose]

One thing that bugs me is Premium editions should be cheaper after the game is released. Like, one of the items it has isn't a thing anymore lol

[empty furnace]

erhm, actually it could be made out of hardwood,vinyl planks, or ceramic. these are the 3 most used materials for making floors

[wild rose]

If you play 70$ it'd be logic you'd milk the hell of the game

[wild rose]

Like me (80h atm)

[harsh egret]

and 60 dollars for a shorter campaign in eternal was worth it?
i dont even count the multiplayer that was subpar lol

[hard thistle]

there's nothing to milk

[heavy python]

You're right. But most people wont

[harsh egret]

this game is confirmed to get side content updates as well just like eternal

[slim crypt]

horde mode incoming then

[green falcon]

JFC the trophy isn’t fixed for ps5
I have tried to go to multiple shrines and it didn’t unlock I also completed the last mission and another random mission to see if it would unlock and it hasn’t :/

[wild rose]

Also 12h is speed run length

[hard thistle]

Hopefully, games literally build for it

[slim crypt]

me spending 95 instead reading this

[heavy python]

True. But even then eternal had more content at launch. Much more skins, milestones, and collectibles

[harsh egret]

me spending 230 reading this

[wild rose]

Me spending almost 300$ reading this (premium + wearable helmet)

[heavy python]

Lmao yeah I bought the collectors too. Don't regret it but yeah the campaign length and lack of skins is rough. At least we'll get "free" dlc

[green falcon]

Me spending $300 with the collectors edition reading this

[harsh egret]

for doom fans, the price doesnt matter, ur not buying a doom game thinking about "1 dollar per hour"

[wild rose]

How do you spend 300$ with CE?

[hard thistle]

me pirating reading this (joke)
