[lunar minnow]

Okay.

So...
Take a really really broken down car.

And try to drive across the country.

It won't even make it past the border of the first province.

It can run it, but it can't run it well.

Is why we're saying this.

[vital rapids]

It doesn't need an analogy, he simply wasn't talking crap by saying it runs for some people.

Anyway

[lunar minnow]

Oh, I agree fully.

[lunar minnow]

Oh I read what you said more-

Yeah I don't agree with that.

I just woke up forgive me please.

I'm very out of it right now.

[vital rapids]

Hey no probs dude. You and me both

[lunar minnow]

Not cool calling people liars for their tech issues.

[half spindle]

Btw guys, had shield bug been fixed already?

[lunar minnow]

Glad we're on the same page.

[vital rapids]

Not sure if I'm ready to play today. I'm still healing emotionally from being glitch-killed on the final map by an acolyte whose clone got stuck behind the scenery

[lunar minnow]

Oh man.
Sounds horrid.

[half spindle]

Was doing a un run and stopped after heard about a possibility of a "dis functional" shield syndrome.

[vital rapids]

Honestly, it was kinda hilarious. What can I say, in 2025 you have to be able to take a kick in the nuts 😂

[lunar minnow]

Definitely.

I'm playing DOOM Eternal on Nightmare.

Tried horde mode for the first time.

[half spindle]

Do you know?

[lunar minnow]

It's very interesting.

[vital rapids]

I think it hasn't

[lunar minnow]

Anyways, I'm going to go boot up the game and wake up some more.

See you Dork Lord!

[half spindle]

[vital rapids]

Later man - rip and tear bro

[lunar minnow]

That's the plan, see you!

[ebon shale]

Just lost my pandemonium run dying four times at the same arena in abyssal forest

This is fine

[zealous crag]

at the level right after, the mine when you get shield rune, i died at the last fucking fight with the demon commander

now i need to eveything all over again, including gold hunting etc..

pandemonium is frustrating af

[ebon shale]

And its only a foretaste for UN

[zealous crag]

yeah im doing it to train for un

the fact im doing it with all sliders up is noit helping but i want to reach the end like that

[ebon shale]

That sounds like torture ngl

[shell gull]

good taste

is the flail under powered tho?

[native ridge]

I beated it in nightmare

[jagged condor]

no

[shell gull]

or am i bad

[jagged condor]

i used it on nightmare, and it was my saving grace

[shell gull]

how do U use it

[jagged condor]

when im aboutta die ;-;

[shell gull]

like do u hit clumps of fodders with it

sorta like the flame belch

[jagged condor]

i use it when im aboutta die and just pray to god i win

[frail bloom]

Yes later upgrades allow you to do that

Mix that with your triplue burst shotgun to get more armor

Ground fissure rune to max it out

Now you have an armor build

[shell gull]

but then i like using the 3rd kick on the gauntlets cause i saw the under the mayo vid on it

so i cant decide on which to use

[frail bloom]

All of them have a powerful third hit

[shell gull]

frl?

that falters?

[frail bloom]

Ye everytime I hit a superheavy on the third swing it falters them

[shell gull]

im guessing the gauntlets just do more dmg caues of the shock and finisher upgrades?

[frail bloom]

Ye basically

[shell gull]

thanks

[stoic sleet]

The flail is useless icl

[lunar minnow]

Flail is good if you use it properly.

[stoic sleet]

Gaunlet and Dreadmace solo

[lunar minnow]

Flail is used for gaining armor and breaking armor on demons.

Not necessarily to kill demons.

[stoic sleet]

Chainshot and Combat Shotgun

[lunar minnow]

You combo all three to become an armor hoarding build.

[stoic sleet]

And the dreadmace im pretty sure 1 hits armour

[lunar minnow]

It's also there so you can mix and match.

All the weapons have their use, it's completely dependent on the build.

[shell gull]

looks the coolest tho

[stoic sleet]

Nah fists cooler

[shell gull]

fair enough

that kick is meaty

[stoic sleet]

Dreadmace looks the worst but its the dreadmace

[shell gull]

i dont rlly like using it icl

[lunar minnow]

What does icl mean?

[shell gull]

i cant lie

[lunar minnow]

Oh, thanks Archie.

[harsh egret]

some newly posted concept art by Jon Lane for those interested #artwork

[hollow sandal]

Sick

[split gate]

I got past Abyssal Forest in UN, am taking a break I haven’t gotten this far before

[supple oracle]

Good luck

[split gate]

I’m gonna fucking die

[mental grotto]

I would not complain if the flail* got a damage buff. That’s all I’m saying

[supple oracle]

Don't die LOL

[split gate]

Thanks homie, I’ll keep that in mind

[stoic sleet]

Gng u could make each hit of the flail 1 hit The Old One and it would still suck

[supple oracle]

I lost 2 runs in chapter 14, 5 times in chapter 11

But I am doing 130% game speed so I make it difficult to my self LOL

[split gate]

I’ve lost most of my runs in chapter 4 and 5

Impaler my beloved will carry me

Plus ssg and cycler

[supple oracle]

Yess the Impaler is the anwser for everything

Cyberdemon if you landing headshots, I use combat shotgun more then ssg

[split gate]

That’s how I’ve been feeling lately too

[supple oracle]

Has so much utility

Fast, easy to use, good damage, and get armor back

[split gate]

The Cyberdemon on the ship in Chapter 5 is so ass if you’re planning to get the gold at the back of the arena first, he will stomp you with that unparryable attack and you have to pray you nail the parry’s from now, shit’s unavoidable

It stopped 2 of my runs because of it, I decided not to get the gold first anymore for sanity’s sake

[supple oracle]

You can focus on him kill him first and then get the gold

[stoic sleet]

This was totally me who helped btw 100% totally

[split gate]

Thank you Darth Vader, very cool

[stoic sleet]

Ur welcome epic

[merry pumice]

flail should be able to one shot a small imp

the barron molests the small imp when it speaks

[zealous crag]

im going to loose my pandemonium run in chapter12...

lost 3 lives already in differents arenas

i feel like i really need to wait until i start my last chance, it would annoy me to loose here cuz it was almost a perfect run

[toxic dome]

Calm down and dont mind the lives

Avoid the barrels and be really focused on the parry

Focus arachnoids and cyberdemons

Give them priority

[hard thistle]

Bro what

[dreamy kiln]

[zealous crag]

actually i died 2 times to the flagellator in the room where a banner pinky rider is boostin everyone, and when i got past that room i lost my last bonus life not against an agagddon hunter but against 2 of them just after

they are such a pain in tight space

but yeah i shouldnt care about lives and focus on the fight to get through this, thanks man

[toxic dome]

If you need help I am here, passed pandemonium and ultra nightmare. I know that section with the pinky rider boosting is pain. Learn to love fighting the aggadon upclose. He looks scary af, he does a lot fo damage, but make him attack you so you can parry him more. Use your super shotgun and the chainshot. ABUSE THE CHAINSHOT. Upgrade it so that every attack you parry your next attack is charged and does explosion

[zealous crag]

yeah actually i have 0 problem with aggadon hunters, i just spam nail in his head and melee him when i can, what i was saying with my mid english is that i had no pb with it and just died on next fight against 2 flagellator that ganged me up when i was low af from the pinky banner fight

glad im not the only one finding this specific to be a pain XD

ill do my last try in 2hours ill let you know how it went and look for advices if they get me again

[toxic dome]

Aight man. Dont be discouraged. You can do it. Be the doom slayer man

[rotund rune]

@warm ibex where did you get those concept arts you just posted? I've never seen those before

[warm ibex]

Not sure if the Vega bot will allow the link, but Emerson Tung's artstation page. All artists are posting their work now, I would also recommend checking out Colin Geller, Jon Lane, Olympia Sweetman, William Bao, Ethan Evans, Alejandro Mirabal, Jason Williford and Nathan Elmer if you're interested in concept work

[harsh egret]

u can look up "doom the dark ages" on artstation, u will see ALOT of stuff there

[rotund rune]

Thanks. Those classic Slayer designs weren't in the art book. Were they Emerson's?

[warm ibex]

Yeah, all Slayer designs that have been posted so far are Emerson's. If you're ever curious about artists, I leave credits in the description and on individual images (when available)

the artbook unfortunately didn't have any credits so all of my vids from the past two months haven't had any names in the videos themselves

[rotund rune]

Wait he did all those!?

Damn good guy

[harsh egret]

Emerson is crazy talented

[warm ibex]

He's the art director for a reason!

Definitely don't sleep on the rest of the team though, genuinely some of the best artists in the business

Olympia Sweetman's line work is insane, I think she'd do a great job as the lead artist on a Doom comic

The lines here are spectacular https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1390022185372094636/olympia-sweetman-armament-pod-artstation-1-1.png?ex=6866be8a&is=68656d0a&hm=dbb70844bb88bb211601f9789cf6f8c926f6a2d1111d0ac9d18f4ad6bb9c408a&

[rugged estuary]

is it only mine game or after the path tracing update the fps drops high numbers

[harsh egret]

yeah, i spent 4-5 hrs looking at alot of stuff yesterday, insanely talented people all around

i look at artstation regurarly for inspiration and so on so when i heard they started posting their work, i was in heaven

[warm ibex]

Can't forget the modelers either. Bryan Cavett's Accelerator model is beautiful https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1390026258817093722/bryan-cavett-accelerator-3p.png?ex=6866c255&is=686570d5&hm=2acf90544dad88a809bbec8e1fae5015db1af8e9c7fb81572975cecce30a6f18&

[warm ibex]

art station is great for inspiration!

especially now that TDA artwork is being posted regularly

[harsh egret]

yh was soon gonna start on a fan made weapon in 3D for doom, some alternative version for one of the weapons, havent decided yet which one

so getting all this is insanely nice

[rotund rune]

I find it weird how Hugo draws nothing for the game nowadays. Like, he got the talent

[vital rapids]

Combat shotty could easily be tarted up a bit tbh

[harsh egret]

i do think he drew some stuff for dark ages, but not much. i dont remember what it was but i think i heard that not long ago

but even tho we dont see his contributions publicly, he still does SO much for the development of their games

be it concepts, narrative direction, or whatever else

[warm ibex]

It's just not his job, from what I understand

Like Hato mentioned I'm sure he's done some concept work here and there, but he's the overall game director and not a concept artist anymore

[harsh egret]

he still works very closely with the team

[warm ibex]

oh absolutely

[rotund rune]

I thought he could do some if he wanted

[warm ibex]

I mean he definitely could if he wanted to, but that's not necessarily his primary job

[rotund rune]

Since I saw his job with pacific rim (almost everything) I found it an absurd how he didn't draw the Atlans

Altho their design language are very similar to Pacific Rim

[harsh egret]

absurd? like i said, he works very close with the team, providing concepts/inspiration for the rest of the team base their work off of. he doesnt NEED to draw stuff himself

he is more like a mentor if u wanna call him that

[rotund rune]

It's mostly because the Atlans are an idea of his he basically brought from Pacific Rim to here. I'd imagine he'd like to make them himself

[harsh egret]

its like saying why isnt my science teacher working in some field within science when they could just do that.

[harsh egret]

have u seen what emerson is capable of drawing

[rotund rune]

I mean, my science teachers do work in the field they love

[rotund rune]

I'm not complaining about his job. I'm just talking about Hugo's passion as an artist. I'm sure he'd love to draw more considering how much of a fan he is. At least it's my impression

[harsh egret]

he has enough on his plate ngl

and working closely with Emerson and everyone else is good enough im sure.

[rotund rune]

@warm ibex we never got any info on what that red gauntlet in the concept arts was going to be?

[warm ibex]

No details at the moment

likely an early tool for parrying

[rotund rune]

Weird for him to have a demonic gauntlet

Which is what it seems to be

[warm ibex]

someone in the comments mentioned using the red gauntlet instead of the power glove melee weapon, I think that's a great idea

[rotund rune]

Maybe it'd be the device controlling him instead of the chest device?

[near oak]

Всем хай

[fleet spruce]

I'd definitely love to see it in action

[frail bloom]

Ricochet is kinda fun

I think pincushion is more applicable in combat bc it can detonate in superheavies but ricochet looks way cooler and still does really good damage in crowds

[spare tusk]

How do i make my shots not curve straight to enemy? I turned aim assist off and all my shots still curve straight to the enemy.

[stray cape]

I have a glitch where I can not seem to cut the Mancubus in half, are other people dealing with this, I have video proof

[silent surge]

assist is on

[spare tusk]

its literally off

[silent surge]

enhanced targeting

[spare tusk]

off

can i screenshare? i show you.

[silent surge]

can’t atm, the one when you start a game is off?

[spare tusk]

uhhhh, where's that?

in accessability, aim assist is at 0% and off

in game difficulty, enchanced targeting is off

is there really no way to make the guns shoot where i shoot?

the bullets quite literally curve.

[stray cape]

It could be a glitch like I’m dealing with

[spare tusk]

#videos

[frail bloom]

What am I looking at

[spare tusk]

i sent video as link it wont let me send again for 15mins

[frail bloom]

That's someone elses

[spare tusk]

ill dm it to ya

[frail bloom]

Alr

[silent surge]

both of those being off, shouldn’t curve, yea if you have a video just post it up. odd

[spare tusk]

i have a video of shotgun, i shoot 1m off and it kills

[frail bloom]

Ye it should not be doing that at all

[spare tusk]

i didnt have enough ammo to show with the other gun

[frail bloom]

In the vid he's using the shotgun, and it kills a group of zombies when his reticle isn't on them

[spare tusk]

@frail bloom can you post it in #videos? Im on 15min cooldown there

[frail bloom]

Uh ye send it again lol pls

#videos message

Pretty weird

[harsh egret]

both the ssg and the combat shotgun have pellets going outside of their reticle.

if thats whats being talked here

[spare tusk]

the issue is that i can shoot a meter off a target and still hit

i specifically DON'T WANT aim assist, yet its being shoved down my throat anyways

in doom eternal, i can shoot and i know my shot will miss if its not on target

but on this one it'll change trajectory

it's Better seen on the 1st gun, but i didn't have ammo to show it well

[hasty stone]

TDA needs a photo mode!

[graceful lion]

true

[frail bloom]

Someone should ask on stream tomorrow

Bc no one will really see it here

[hasty stone]

i will :)_

[sonic turret]

There is a photo mode, at least there is on the PS5.

[hasty stone]

not on ps5

i mean not on PC

🙂

[frail bloom]

There is?

[sonic turret]

Yeah, just like on the PS4, you can stream directly form your console and take photos abd upload them, and even set them as your background wallpaper.

[frail bloom]

Is there like a 3d view person mode

[sonic turret]

But it's a system-wide thing, not specifically a Doom thing.

[frail bloom]

Oh

Alr so I'm limited in the angles I can take

[sonic turret]

Depends if it's a third person game, or has a third person toggle.

It photographs whatever the screen displays and the viewer sees.

[frail bloom]

I think when people ask for photo mode, they want it to be more expansive than just a screenshot right

[sonic turret]

You can probably do more, but I don't really use it I use it for streaming.

[astral quail]

what is happening, i updated my graphics driver cuz before i was on a old one and now im getting 40 fps when i was getting around 90 on the exact same settings after updating them.

[lunar minnow]

Did Eternal have one?

[spare tusk]

ye

[lunar minnow]

Huh, how?

[spare tusk]

any fix for this?

[lunar minnow]

How do you access it?

[spare tusk]

in settings

i got the game open rn its there

[prisma kernel]

There is an option to turn it off

[spare tusk]

literally doesn't work

[prisma kernel]

Why?

[spare tusk]

idk???

thats what i wanna know

[prisma kernel]

Can you send me a screenshot of the settings?

[lunar minnow]

Oh, thanks. :)

[spare tusk]

i got aim assist off, i got the enhanced shit off

[prisma kernel]

Then try lowering the aim assist strength to 0 (idk why but maybe that’ll help). If that doesn’t work, then sorry but I have no idea why it doesn’t work.

[spare tusk]

its at 0%

if u look in #videos

theres video sent by atlas(?)

[prisma kernel]

Then I’m sorry but I can’t help

[spare tusk]

no samir

[simple mist]

whos dooming they dark ages

[spare tusk]

nope, cuz gunplay sucks

[frail bloom]

Well I'm having fun

[spare tusk]

i would have fun if the game wasnt on literal baby mode for me

[frail bloom]

Try telling hugo and josh tomorrow on their stream

[spare tusk]

its a game about murdering demons, whys there even a baby mode

:sigh:

[frail bloom]

C'mon dawg is this ragebait

[spare tusk]

no im just actually annoyed

I don't feel like im doing anything if literally every shot lands

[frail bloom]

It's probably a bug

Doesn't happen for me

Plus, it's a shotgun

[spare tusk]

no even on the other gub

[frail bloom]

But it shouldn't be doing that ye

[spare tusk]

i shoot straight line, a mob walks to that straight line, and my straight line curves to hit it

[frail bloom]

Hmm try playing some more with other weapons

You only used your shotgun so far

Try the shredder

[spare tusk]

i used the other gun too.

the one at start of my video, i didn't have enough ammo to test

[frail bloom]

So does it curve beyond the reticle

[spare tusk]

with the gun at start, it curves

[frail bloom]

Try the other gun

And show a vid

Just to see for myself pls

[spare tusk]

im having fun playing doom eternal

[frail bloom]

Well you bought tda didn't you

[spare tusk]

no i got it off gamepass

[frail bloom]

Oh I see

[spare tusk]

cheaper to test out a game that way

and when I don't like it, I don't feel i wasted money

[frail bloom]

Ye well the game doesn't really have those curved shots just to say

It's most likely a bug

[spare tusk]

mhmm

[frail bloom]

What

I can test it out I guess

[spare tusk]

nah its fine ill test it later

im just rn enjoying eternal

[frail bloom]

I feel like playing anyway lol

Have fun tho

[spare tusk]

in eternal my shots arent fucked so this is fun

even if its a bug in tda

[sudden stump]

sounds like enhanced targeting is turned in, or is bugged to be turned on even when it isn't

[spare tusk]

its off

idk how I'd fix it being bugged

[sudden stump]

Other than resetting the difficulty setting to default I'm not sure, haven't had this problem but I remember hearing about bugs with the difficulty menu not being accurate or being overridden

[spare tusk]

ig ill try some day

[frail bloom]

Oh ok I see what it is

So...

I haven't noticed this before, but fodder in this game are apparently so fodder that if you go beyond your reticle, any stray bullet hitting their arm deals a lot of damage. But I tested it on an imp stalker and it never touched him. I say it's not a big deal cuz fodder are going to come by the 30's in later levels so they're more there to be farmed or occasionally sneak attack you

#videos message

[spare tusk]

sure

rn not in level on eternal i can go rec a video

[vital rapids]

Oh nice, ty

[vital rapids]

That's spread though, right?

[frail bloom]

I say it is, well cuz it's a shotgun. Not only that but a powerful one

Much more powerful enough that it goes beyond the reticle

But it doesn't harm heavies

If you miss

So I'd say that this is a result of fodder being really weak in this game

But that's ok bc you meet like 30 of them in one arena almost always

[vital rapids]

Yeah I think your comment makes sense. That "squishiness threshold" you see sometimes with ground slams.

Pretty sure id will have a better name for it

[frail bloom]

Exactly, the "aoe" or splash damage from the shotgun damages or kills fodder

Doesn't really touch enemies beyond that level tho

[frail bloom]

Squishiness theshold is perfect

[wheat sigil]

enemy succulence level

[spare tusk]

posted a video, rly hard to get a good one in this game, so chaotic

[graceful lion]

why did you post ign gameplay

[frail bloom]

I was posting test gameplay from @spare tusk

He was showing off gun shots that goes beyond his reticle

[spare tusk]

@frail bloom can you post another video?

i dmd to you, im again on 15min slowdown

[frail bloom]

#videos message

[spare tusk]

ty

[frail bloom]

Ye this is kinda strange

I never noticed

Game was too chaotic

Tbf for the pinky rider, his head was very much near the reticle

But for the others, I guess fodder be foddering

NO WAIT

I just tested it on a zombie in sentinel command station and it never hit

Y'know, maybe it's just the first level that does this

That's my theory

Imma test it out some more

[spare tusk]

the goat

[stoic sleet]

Hola

Still on the plane but flight just finished

[vital rapids]

I wonder if ir's the spammy weapons (plasma/shredder). It kinda looks like the behavior of the shield throw, but to a lesser extent.

[spare tusk]

but.. I don't want any aimbot..

[frail bloom]

Arl

So

I tested out the shredder on a bunch of fodder

It never really touched them

But the second they enter the threshold of the reticle they are hit

So it seems that the weapons have a large aoe

That applies instantly if they ever cross the threshold

For heavies this remains consistent, same with the shredder with fodder

But using the shotgun, I found that a bit beyond the threshold it does harm fodder

Imma test out the shotgun and shredder on standard imps and really see if it applies to them as well

Cuz I tested it on an armless manc and it for the most part never touched the manc unless a fraction of it crossed the threshold

Alr ye shotgun just has insane spread

But the shredder only hit if the tiniest bit of their body crossed the threshold

@spare tusk

Guys play on 50% speed for the true doomslayer tank experience

[spare tusk]

hmm alr

[frail bloom]

Sorry to ask, what difficutly were you playing on

[spare tusk]

uhhh, i forget

[frail bloom]

It's important

[spare tusk]

ultra violence maybe

but with customized settings

[frail bloom]

Try nightmare

[stoic sleet]

Next question, what is your name

[spare tusk]

Azael

[stoic sleet]

Wrong, its Azael 💙CAT

[spare tusk]

i do love cats.

[stoic sleet]

What is cat kingdom?

[spare tusk]

idek

[vital rapids]

I love cats, but they repeat on me

Hmm, my real life cat just looked at my screen, then at me disapprovingly

[frail bloom]

Btw aspiring slayer is freakishly easy

[vital rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-plink-glasses-side-eye-smart-gif-11422187893182432522

[spare tusk]

tell him i said hi

[frail bloom]

Your shredder could be aiming at a completely different target and it hits another target at the same time

[spare tusk]

idk man, maybe im just a hater

[frail bloom]

No it's for aspiring slayer

The very low difficulty option

[spare tusk]

right

i was on ultra violance btw

[frail bloom]

?

[frail bloom]

I was just making a side comment nothing else

[spare tusk]

i double checked it

[frail bloom]

I was wondering if difficulty affected the aiming and it does

[spare tusk]

:sigh

[frail bloom]

Ultraviolence is probably a bit lenient, try nightmare

[spare tusk]

ill try

[frail bloom]

But lower the slider settings to ultraviolence

[spare tusk]

tomorrow'

yee tbh my settings were set to worse than nightmare anyways

idk why i dindt think to change the thing iot self

[frail bloom]

That way, you have the difficulty of ultraviolence but better aim for nightmare

Slider settings are very versatile here

[stoic sleet]

sigh

[spare tusk]

i like using sigh emotes

but this server bans em :(

[stoic sleet]

Bruh

sigh

[shell gull]

guessing the DLC gonna be announced at Quake con

[orchid helm]

[orchid helm]

• the sound mix not being the same as in the game

[vivid halo]

Can anyone connect their Bethesda.net accounts on xbox?

I just want to play but I don't know what to do

[shell gull]

[vivid halo]

My question just got ignored damn

[shell gull]

only works on a sunday since its the only day the devil dosent work

[modern narwhal]

[shell gull]

u tried veryifying ur files

[lament grove]

that was the issue for me, could hear my mouse interacting with the menu buttons but it was just black and i fixed it by having medal closed before opening the game

[modern narwhal]

intro and black screen on the menu

well now it crashing when the load message appears

[lament grove]

if u have medal open close it before opening the game

[modern narwhal]

just uninstalled and installed rn

[shell gull]

do what gojo said

make sure u dont got medal open

some posts on reddit saying that that causes a black screen

[modern narwhal]

okay ill try now

[lament grove]

worst part about that issue is you cant reopen it during the game either as if you complete a chapter itll black screen again 💀

[modern narwhal]

btw is performance kinda wierd? I feel like I should be getting more fps with dlss on ultra nightmare

[lament grove]

cant speak on that last time i played the game was before the pathtracing update, platinumed it and all that way before

[modern narwhal]

now I don't even hear the menu music

[shell gull]

my performance is weird too i usually get 60 fps all the time but sometimes when i die my fps dips to like 30-40

[modern narwhal]

okay like coming from eternal which was super smooth it was kind of weird

but rn I don't care I just want to play the game hahaha

I have 2 hours played and real gameplay was 20 mins

yesterday I did 1:30 hours troubleshooting and I could play and today I can't even boot the menu

[frail bloom]

@mild loom
@potent sonnet

[modern narwhal]

Okay game just booted up? I guess I'll have to gamble every time I want to play hahaha

[lament grove]

yeah im not sure then tbh, i double checked just now to see if the issue is medal in my case and it still is

[frail bloom]

Here they might be able to help

[toxic pumice]

just picked up an rx 7600 just for dark ages (F in chat for my TITAN Xp) runs freaking amazing as i expected. 60+ fps with fsr native aa, max settings and 2048 textures. dropping to fsr quality bumps it up to 80-90fps

[modern narwhal]

Literally closed the game for 5th time and opened it again and it worked

5070 ti and just updated,576.88

[vivid halo]

This place sucks

[frail bloom]

What is it

[vivid halo]

This is blatant racism against consoles

[frail bloom]

I can sniff the segregation

Does not rhyme with grug

[toxic pumice]

I'm still waiting for the switch 2 port

[vivid halo]

No

Who was dumb enough to buy switch 2?

[toxic pumice]

im gonna buy one

💯

[vivid halo]

Im sorry to hear that

[toxic pumice]

after i buy my 7900 XTX and rog Crosshair x870e apex

maybe 9950X3D too not sure

[vivid halo]

That might as well be Chinese to me

I just play video games when I have time off work

[toxic pumice]

Chinese->English
right after i buy my super expensive pc parts

[vivid halo]

Ah ill stick with my 500$ console that plays games just fine

[toxic pumice]

respectable tbh

[vivid halo]

I am as you would say a casual gamer

[toxic pumice]

nah i totally get it, my first playthrough of eternal was on my switch

[vivid halo]

I work in law enforcement and have a farm so I dont ever get to play

[toxic pumice]

😔

[modern narwhal]

No, I have it from microsoft store

Just uninstalled and installed 10 mins ago

[toxic pumice]

i just got out of highschool🤣

[vivid halo]

I just wanna know why i can't link Bethesda.net 😭

[modern narwhal]

now its working at least but when I open the menu fps drops to 20

[toxic pumice]

hmmmm

do you have a Bethesda.net?

[vivid halo]

And dang you're young

And yes i do I've had one since it became a thing

[toxic pumice]

really all i can think of is reinstalling the game....

[vivid halo]

I used to play pc when I was in high-school then I got old

[toxic pumice]

loll, my dad turns 51 this year and he still pc games

he just replaced his 2013 or so rig with a new one last year(i built it lol)

[shell gull]

big if true

[vivid halo]

I work 12-16 hour shifts and have a farm tho 🙃

[toxic pumice]

that sucks

[vivid halo]

I sleep on average 4-6 hours a night if im lucky

[toxic pumice]

i definitely couldn't do that, but respect to you

[toxic pumice]

it is true LOL

[vivid halo]

But I got some pto because I got shot 2 weeks ago

[toxic pumice]

you alright?

[vivid halo]

Oh yea

Im happy asf about it 🤣

[toxic pumice]

there's a silver lining in (almost) everything

[vivid halo]

Exactly

Funny enough the cross i wear on my duty belt stopped it from hitting my artery

[toxic pumice]

thats pretty lucky

[vivid halo]

It wasn't luck my friend

[toxic pumice]

wym

[vivid halo]

That was god

[toxic pumice]

not bad aim???

[vivid halo]

He hit 6 shots center mass so no 🤣

[toxic pumice]

dam

yeah that is pretty lucky then

[frail bloom]

And it was also awesome

Not getting shot

That was not very grug

[vivid halo]

Well it still hit my leg just not in the artery

[frail bloom]

Well now you have a crazy story to tell

[vivid halo]

I managed to dome the guy after

[frail bloom]

Even crazier

[vivid halo]

I have more than my fair share of those

[toxic pumice]

wym by dome😨

[frail bloom]

Why is John wick in chat

[vivid halo]

Headshot

[meager vortex]

the art of doom the dark ages coming

[frail bloom]

In artstation? It has been for a while tho

[vivid halo]

Just a retired marine that wasn't done getting shot at after getout

[frail bloom]

What did you find tho

[toxic pumice]

and you just decided it would be okay to kill a vet?

wtf

[frail bloom]

I don't even know why he was shot

[vivid halo]

What 🤣

Im the veteran 😭

[meager vortex]

it has store

[toxic pumice]

dawg ur 24 ur not no vet

[frail bloom]

Oh you can buy them?? Sick

[vivid halo]

Dawg I did 4 years and got medically discharged 😭

[meager vortex]

im thinking

[toxic pumice]

unless i misread

ah, my bad

[frail bloom]

I am missing a lot of context

[vivid halo]

I joined when I was 18 and I also turn 25 on the 19th

[toxic pumice]

happy early birthday

[frail bloom]

🥳

[vivid halo]

Im going to universal with my nieces and nephews for my birthday actually 🤣

[toxic pumice]

niceee

[vivid halo]

The guy had a pistol and an alligator tho

[meager vortex]

good happy birthday mate

[toxic pumice]

hopefully your leg is fully healed by then

[toxic pumice]

jeez

[meager vortex]

he hurt?

[frail bloom]

That sounds ridiculous was it on a leash or smt

[vivid halo]

Im going even if I have to use a wheelchair

[frank turtle]

I can't beat un, idk what it is bro

[frail bloom]

Was he on drugs

[vivid halo]

It was in his bathroom

[toxic pumice]

try pandemonium

[vivid halo]

And obviously he was on drugs

[frail bloom]

Where do you live, florida?

[meager vortex]

oh man

[vivid halo]

Is that even a question 🤔

[frail bloom]

The gator gave it away

[toxic pumice]

so instead of attempting to disarm him you just ki- yk nah im done im not tryna get banned

[frank turtle]

I've beaten it twice

[toxic pumice]

bye bye o/

[frail bloom]

Imagine getting shot

[frank turtle]

Just died at chapter 20

[frail bloom]

What do you do next

[vivid halo]

We obviously tried to not shoot him

It was 3 hours all and all

[frail bloom]

3 hrs? I thought it was a robbery or smt

I am missing context

[vivid halo]

Oh god no it wasn't

Domestic violence

[frail bloom]

Oh no...

[meager vortex]

call the police???

[toxic pumice]

deserved then imo

[vivid halo]

I am the police 🤣

[toxic pumice]

why tf dyo think he was there😭

[meager vortex]

i didn't know that lol

[toxic pumice]

oh alr

[vivid halo]

I am actually a swat officer

The gator was also on drugs btw

[meager vortex]

wow!

[toxic pumice]

i don't like how they tear apart the house and then dont reimburse.... especially if it was the wrong house

[frail bloom]

Cocaine bear but it's a gator

What did you even experience honestly

[toxic pumice]

Florida doin too much😭

[vivid halo]

If im being completely honest not even the most wild thing ive had to deal with at work

Had a guy rob a wendys with a gator once

Well he tried to and they didn't give him money so he threw it through the drive thru

[frail bloom]

Gators are the next german shepards in florida or smt

[toxic pumice]

top 10 reasons i live in the Midwest😭

[vivid halo]

Polk county has a gator they confiscated from a drug dealer that guarded his drugs named el chompo and you're allowed to go feed el chompo they had a pond made for him

[toxic pumice]

aw thats neat

[vivid halo]

We love our wildlife here

[toxic pumice]

thats good

[vivid halo]

When i first started out in law enforcement i actually had to get a gator out of someones pool one time

That was fun

Oh and sometimes we have to fight the gators to retrieve dead bodies because tourists like to get too close

[frail bloom]

You were right that story wasn't the craziest

[vivid halo]

Which one?

[frail bloom]

Actually I guess the bullet hitting the cross is pretty crazy

But this sounds alarming too

[vivid halo]

One time there was a guy who drove through a taco bell because they didn't give him a straw

[frail bloom]

I have nothing to say

Anyways, is that bethesda account working yet or no

Lemme add a reaction so someone can see it

[meager vortex]

usa police officer they job protect they country and fight for bad guys right?

[vivid halo]

Im about to uninstall and reinstall the game

My job is to protect and serve and uphold the law

[meager vortex]

i respect that

[vivid halo]

I love my job tho

[meager vortex]

good

[frail bloom]

Didn't you retrieve dead bodies? That has to take a large mental toll

I understand what you mean tho

[vivid halo]

It definitely does but at the same time theres no greater feeling than saving someone's life

[chilly tinsel]

what upscaler should I use for the game?

I keep looking at video guides but it never explains best settings when it comes to the upscaler

rtx 4070 btw

[idle sleet]

I would use the Nvidia upscaler if you’re on an Nvidia card

[chilly tinsel]

what super resolution option? do I put on frame gen?

[empty sable]

Quality/Frame Gen is considered what is ideal. It depends on your system, you may want Balance for more frames and with DLSS4 it can closely resemble previous Quality. At least I think it does. If your system sucks then go higher, but you may want to consider dropping down graphical settings at that point.

[toxic pumice]

dlss native aa assuming you're at 1080p-1440p

[swift tapir]

Does anyone else's dom just... not launch? I haven't been able to play the game since release cause I go to launch it, it plays for a second, and then just doesn't open and never loads

[zealous crag]

Does you pc have a ray tracing compatible card ?

If yes, do a file check in steam . If nothing found reinstall

[swift tapir]

4090 with a I9 14900kf

[swift tapir]

Reinstalled multiples time on diiferent updates, and even went into properties to have it not full screen, reset my nvidia settings, and still nothing

[zealous crag]

You tried launching the .exe ?

Also do you have latest Nvidia driver? Very important for this game

[swift tapir]

It opened one time, then black screened, and never was sble to open again. And yes, did an old version, last version, and the brand new verison of my driver. Updated bios and everything I could

[swift tapir]

Did that with Admin perms, too

[zealous crag]

You never got that kind of problem with any game ?

And if on steam do the complète file Check maybe somethings wrong

[swift tapir]

Nope, never any other game. I loaded up to a black screen, and ever since than, I launch it, but nothing happens and just... crashes... I guess?

[wooden leaf]

The dlc was goated

[swift tapir]

Did a file check each time and Steam says it's all good

[zealous crag]

Its dark ages channel 💀

[wooden leaf]

Yh the dark ages dlc

[zealous crag]

Its not here

[wooden leaf]

So what did i play then?

[zealous crag]

You played the campaign🤦‍♂️ dlc is not released

[wooden leaf]

Yh i finished the campaign and started dlc part 1

[zealous crag]

It released during the night ??

[wooden leaf]

Nah jus practicing my gaslighting

[zealous crag]

…

[zealous crag]

Yeah Tbh I dont have any idea left , but good luck I Wish you Will be able to play it its a goated game

[shell gull]

when are mods like level mods or master levels gonna come out for the game or is that gonna take like a yr or 2

[frank turtle]

Hopefully before the year ends we can get something

[latent forge]

@everyone

Does anyone know any secrets in dark ages

[split gate]

Yeah you can find the secrets in the map for each level, it’ll give you the number you have to look for

[latent forge]

1st one I can't find it just got the game

[wooden leaf]

There’s a secret room where thrre is a hell priest doing the griddy in a circle

[zealous crag]

Then why dont you play it instead of asking for every solution 🤨

You literally have a map that shows secrets IN GAME

[latent forge]

Achievement hunter

[frank turtle]

wait.. did they tweak the impaler room encounter on chapter 4???

seemed like WAY less stone imps

or am I tripping cuz that seemed alot easier

[split gate]

I thought I wasn’t the only one. There is an extra Hell Knight that appears at the beginning round of encounters, it wasn’t there before

[frank turtle]

damn so they tweaked it

@cinder estuary they tweaked sentinel barracks on nightmare, atleast

[harsh egret]

do they still have like 8 stone imps at the same time or smth in that room

oh wait i just read the other msg just now

but yeah i remember there being a lot of them at the same time

[frank turtle]

yeah it was pretty ridiculous

fucking hell room lmao

[harsh egret]

i thought it was kinda funny xd

thats the type of troll they can do in master levels tho so its fine

[frank turtle]

ya I mean I kinda got used to that room

wish they had some encounters with like multiple cacodemons or cyber demons

that'd why I really like harbor of souls cause of the triple cyberdemon encounter

[barren ember]

downloading dark ages, any recommendations?

[boreal pecan]

yo when is the dlc releasing?

[barren ember]

the game was public for a month no way we're getting dlc any time soon bruh

[boreal pecan]

chill dog im just asking

[barren ember]

you didn't see anything

[boreal pecan]

i did

[barren ember]

are you sure

[boreal pecan]

🥀

[harsh egret]

u gotta wait until gamescom or quakecon in august to find out

[boreal pecan]

ah ok

[harsh egret]

personally i think an actual release date wont be announced just yet, but my prediction is it will release early next year

[barren ember]

so you guys got anything or is the game perfect like it is

[barren ember]

or maybe late this year

[harsh egret]

would be nice yeah

i also wanna give them time to cook

[barren ember]

yeah, please don't be another mick gordon

[harsh egret]

so i would be fine with them releasing it later

[barren ember]

yeah same

• i'll have the time to master the game

[harsh egret]

as long as we get some nice side content at the QC update and so on meanwhile, then im fine since QC is only a month away anyway

[barren ember]

oh that's cool

[harsh egret]

and the quakecon update sounds like it will be pretty damn good

[barren ember]

i really wish i would be able to disable the slow down on melle

[harsh egret]

yeah a slider is coming for that

[barren ember]

good very good, this thing looks like something that will regularly piss me off

[harsh egret]

to me its fine the way it is but i wont say no for it to be toggleable xd

i would def play around with it, see how it feels to me

[barren ember]

i mean it's up to personal preference really, i like being a crack head that ate meth and about to die in 3 days (reference)

so slowing down like this feels off

like glory kills we're cool for me only in eternal

because there was a rune to make em faster

in 2016 they we're fine but not really gory enough tbh

[cinder estuary]

Shame, it was p nice

[harsh egret]

Hugo stream today

[frank turtle]

oh hell yeah I forgot

[simple mist]

have fun and rip&tear

;3

[barren ember]

yippe -w-

[frail bloom]

🔥

He better answer some questions

I had like 2 notes written down last time I was devastated

Also last stream was pretty boring to me

[harsh egret]

only reason it was boring to me is cuz i was sleep deprived asf and had to sleep 4 hrs that night

otherwise i couldve watched a 5 hr stream or smth no problem

[frail bloom]

Trust me he was too locked in

He couldn't say much

I think he gave up on the 500% dmg

So no more shenanigans

[harsh egret]

i left off at the final arena and he randomly beat it within like 15 mins or smth

thinking it would take him an hr

[meager vortex]

i hope hugo said hoard mode is coming or master level is coming

[harsh egret]

master levels r confirmed

[frail bloom]

Most likely the latter

The former is up in the air, but he acknowledges it

[harsh egret]

from what hugo said on reddit, it sounds like some form of horde mode/roguelike whatever the fk is also coming

[frail bloom]

Really I thought he was considering it

I guess bro is going all out

[meager vortex]

eternal version master level is good but some hard

[frail bloom]

I've been hearing some stupid expectations for dlc btw

Some people expect it to tie to 2016

[harsh egret]

post: "Finished Dark Ages, I don't want to part with the game, but there is nothing else to do in it. I would be happy with an endless arena mode. Maybe even a Roguelike mode. Has anyone else thought about this? "

Hugo: "more content incoming and it’s right in line with what you’re asking for! We supported Eternal after launch with polish, balance tweaks based on feedback and additional content - know that we are hard at work doing the same for Dark Ages"

[meager vortex]

stand and fight! master level

[frail bloom]

Hey where's the korean guy has he said anything of late

[harsh egret]

pretty sure its the guy thats here rn

unless im wrong

[frail bloom]

If that's the case why is he acting like he doesn't know when the master level is coming

[meager vortex]

because i don't want spoiler too much

[frail bloom]

Uh huh

[harsh egret]

well im pretty sure master levels arent coming "this month"

busted

[meager vortex]

i know one thing is big event is coming out

[frail bloom]

...

[harsh egret]

duh

[frail bloom]

We all knew that

Quakecon, hello

[graceful lion]

horde mode for tda

[harsh egret]

i think he means in game, but i would expect that anyway lmao

[graceful lion]

fighting demons for 3 hours straight

no break

[harsh egret]

fighting demons 24/7

[frail bloom]

Well the update is tied to quakecon

[harsh egret]

yes so it makes sense theres some in game event and content update with it

otherwise wtf

[meager vortex]

my friend working steam and he working doom the dark ages forum

that is it

[solid nacelle]

At least quakecon comes early in the month this time unlike previous years

[harsh egret]

well all im hearing is stuff i already assumed or know are coming, but the master level stuff was just wrong so.. yk

[meager vortex]

and he already interview developers of id

[harsh egret]

i mean, even if i believe u, what u said about master levels wasnt really correct info, so why would it be any different now

[meager vortex]

he told me big event is coming this month that is he talked

[harsh egret]

also what uve been saying so far isnt really actual news

[tender zephyr]

Doom eternal sho7ld be playable on toasters

[harsh egret]

no event is coming this month bruh

[graceful lion]

go back to base ragebaiter, you gotta plan better

[harsh egret]

its literally quakecon in early august, what would they be doing now lol

[tender zephyr]

Huh what did i do

[harsh egret]

hugo literally said he wants to push everything they can into the quakecon update

[graceful lion]

oh i thought u were being a ragebaiter

[graceful lion]

they wanna give you a meal, not just a little dessert

they wanna give you a full course meal

[meager vortex]

and quake con maybe dlc title coming out

[harsh egret]

i mean tbf what is that random comment in the tda channel lol

[worn sphinx]

doom the peak ages

[frail bloom]

[harsh egret]

bro can u say anything actually new

[tender zephyr]

I just think it would be cool to have a toaster play doom games

[harsh egret]

guys, next year... ITS YEAR 2026!!!

YES U HEARD IT HERE FIRST

u wouldnt guess whats coming after..

[frail bloom]

Yup

[worn sphinx]

I don't think the dlc is coming out soon, they're taking their time to cook

[graceful lion]

toasters in 2050

[harsh egret]

my prediction is still that they will show concept art and small clips behind closed doors at quakecon

[graceful lion]

can cook 7 full loaves of bread in 4 seconds

[harsh egret]

and nothing else

[graceful lion]

and runs tda on max 16k settings

[harsh egret]

quakecon seems already pretty big as it is

[frail bloom]

Well in that case ppl better start preparing to write notes

[harsh egret]

with whatever nightdive is working on that they will announce, the dark ages event and update and stuff

this quakecon is gonna go crazy

one day ill attend one..

[frail bloom]

I wanna make sure I can envision every detail

[meager vortex]

hold on is crucible not showing doom the dark ages right?

[tender zephyr]

Im gonna go try to make the doomtoasterinator

[harsh egret]

bruh

[worn sphinx]

I think we might get a small dlc teaser at quakecon but that's really it. Hopefully we get like, some model changing skins like eternal had as well

[harsh egret]

man why u giving us fake "leaks" but u dont know common stuff about the game itself

[frail bloom]

Bruh

[harsh egret]

im not even gonna answer that

[tender zephyr]

Im back the doomtoasterinator exploded the second i tried to play doom the dark ages

[meager vortex]

?

[tender zephyr]

Nothing

[frail bloom]

Look he's confused

[graceful lion]

i think that was in the slayer's first fight

[frail bloom]

Well my source is hugo

[harsh egret]

at this point hugo is "spoiling" more than u @meager vortex so go on ahead and tell us something actually new

[tender zephyr]

I can tell ur like 7

Just by ur pfp

[frail bloom]

Close. I'm actually like 80

Fair attempt

[tender zephyr]

Nah ur not 80

[frail bloom]

Do not besmirch Grugs name

[harsh egret]

Samir no way u created ur discord account when u were 2

[frail bloom]

He knows too much.

I'm quivering at such accuracy

[harsh egret]

calling out people's age shows next level immaturity imo 🤓 👆

[frail bloom]

I thought my pfp was nice

[graceful lion]

people who age guess are insecure about telling their age on discord

[tender zephyr]

GET OU-

[harsh egret]

yeah, exactly my point

[tender zephyr]

I said my age here b4

[split gate]

I got you homie, my wife’s boyfriend works at id and I can confirm that we have a boss fight against Thira in the Cosmic Realm

[frail bloom]

FINALLY

[harsh egret]

NOOO

[frail bloom]

WE DEPART WAYS

KILL THE HERETIC

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

Ok too far

[split gate]

Jokes aside, that would be pretty sad

[tender zephyr]

[frail bloom]

And narratively awesome

Imagine killing your comrade

[split gate]

It makes sense too unfortunately

[frail bloom]

ID needs to grow a pair and kill off some characters

[split gate]

We don’t know the Wraith’s full capabilities

[frail bloom]

Not that they already don't have a massive pair lol but they need to level up

[split gate]

If we don’t have dragon sections in the DLC given what happened then yeah I’d say they know their stuff

[frail bloom]

I want to see Marok wiped off

Absolutely ripped in half

I want Valen to bawl

[harsh egret]

well he had his own dragon tho somewhere after TDA, in TAG the dragon on world spear has the slayers mark on his head

[frail bloom]

I can already imagine him pushing it away

Like he did in Tag 2

Poor guy

[split gate]

True but it wasn’t the same. Still, id has perfect reasons for not including it. 1. The story and lasting impact 2. Satisfying the players I guess

[harsh egret]

yeah they shouldnt have any dragon stuff in the dlc imo

[frail bloom]

But a lot of players don't really like the mech and dragon sections, I think the dlc should be more slayer focused

[harsh egret]

not cuz i dont like the dragon segments, but cuz of what u said yh

[split gate]

This is the way

[frail bloom]

To give that tight improved experience

[harsh egret]

i think they can improve the mech sections

[frail bloom]

They can but I rather them spend it on the slayer

Ye that's it

[split gate]

The dragons and mechs were okay but given the combat loop is so refined and so fun, most people just want to get stuck into it and those sections were overshadowed because of it, as well as not being as engaging or fun, even if they serve as pacebreakers

[harsh egret]

i mean it depends, cuz it seemed like they cut down on the depth of the mech stuff, so they could bring it back maybe in some form that doesnt take too many resources

[frail bloom]

Why do that, when they can spend it on say... maybe fighting a titan on foot

Just an example

Or adding more enemies

[split gate]

The more I replay it, the more I realise it’s also okay for them to not include it, but I don’t mind what we have atm

[harsh egret]

ngl the leak with that fight didnt look like it had much potential to me lol

[frail bloom]

Ye it was janky

But if they spend more time on it I can see it happening

They need a different arena

[harsh egret]

just seemed like an even more stale version of the icon of sin boss fight

[frail bloom]

Ye it was pretty undercooked

[harsh egret]

and i dont like the icon of sin boss fight xd

[frail bloom]

But honestly I'd rather fight at ground level than on a building

So I'd take it as long as it's mechanically compelling

Instead of shoot for big damage

[mental grotto]

Oh shit Valen 🏀 🏀 ⛹️‍♂️

[frail bloom]

Maybe shield saw on points to climb up?

Imagine that tho

Weird gravity stuff where you run up his body and fight monsters

Nah idk

Kinda hard in first person

[harsh egret]

no, i see where ur going with this

[frail bloom]

Ye but I ain't no game developer

I think the shieldsaw points would make sense tho

[harsh egret]

well what ur doing is what every game developer does early on

[frail bloom]

If only I had 5 million...

Oh boi

[harsh egret]

i would pay to see all of hugo's ideas for the different doom games and laugh at how bad some of them prob were

[frail bloom]

No such thing as bad ideas for Hugo!

Right

[harsh egret]

😭 sure

[frail bloom]

If no titan ground fight I'm gravy with a pain elemental and archvile

Classic archvile that is, bc he uses hitscan

Pain elemental could be cosmic

[harsh egret]

i think bringing in more cosmic variants of enemies would be cool, with a remix to their abilities to make them completely different

NOT replacing the normal variant

[frail bloom]

Uh well

They kinda have

The caco and baron replace the hell variants

Or are you saying they shouldn't subtract enemies

And add variants?

[meager vortex]

true nightmare:DOOM3 remaster edition is coming!

[frail bloom]

Idk I'd rather have missing demons or new demons

[harsh egret]

no but imagine the dlc adds some cosmic, idk, hell knight, arachnotron, some small fodder enemy that maybe perhaps plays the role of the screecher from tag for the lolz

[frail bloom]

I would actually be pretty dissapointed with that lol

[harsh egret]

is that a tease? or are u just memeing

[meager vortex]

kidding man

[frail bloom]

Imagine waiting a year to fight what are essentially fodder

[harsh egret]

give me doom 3 remaster by nightdive studio

[frail bloom]

No I wanna fight some big bois

[harsh egret]

yeah ik its just that one specifically popped in my head atm

[frail bloom]

No I know what you mean but I want a new superheavy, two new heavies and maybe one or two more fodders

[meager vortex]

doom3 doom guy just he fight dead space

[harsh egret]

but some buffed up arachnotron, maybe bigger in size with some fun new abilities and shit

idk

[frail bloom]

At that point gimme the spider mastermind lol

[harsh egret]

yeah but like smth in between

[frail bloom]

He would pair well with the vagary

[harsh egret]

give me that cosmic mancubus on the hoverboard

[frail bloom]

Now we're talking

I want him in game so bad

He's a gem

William Bao is a gem

[meager vortex]

vagary was doom3 right?

[harsh egret]

with them releasing the concept art, i doubt it now

[frail bloom]

No doom rpg

[harsh egret]

verygay* yes

[frail bloom]

Get it right

I'm just hoping they make it robust and not just add reskin enemies or model swaps

[harsh egret]

highly doubt they are pulling a TAG again like that

[frail bloom]

I just have nothing to really compare to y'know

[harsh egret]

no, im convinced they wont

[frail bloom]

Even then, I don't want just two new enemies

The dlc gotta stay fresh throughout

[harsh egret]

pretty sure they are aware of that, and will do that.

[frail bloom]

Wouldn't it be fair to add maybe 5 unique ones

And the last couple levels test you

I ain't even talking ant bosses yet

[meager vortex]

guys i want know where to get last shield armor assence?

[frail bloom]

I'm convinced I'm killing at least one or two high council members

[harsh egret]

hugo seemed to confirm that

[frail bloom]

Ye but he didn't say how much or who we are gonna see

[meager vortex]

arch demon?

[frail bloom]

Erebus, whos design I kinda don't like, the 4 armed dude who looks cool, and the gargoyle mf

[silent surge]

above mustard reference spotted

[merry pumice]

…mustard?

[grim cloud]

i know they said that the cosmic barons was this games "baron" but i still hope we see classic barons/hellknights like the gladiator and some of what we see in the artbook

nothing wrong with having some AI overlaps.

[frail bloom]

The way Josh mocked the idea I don't think that's happening

I'd rather bet on a pain elemental and Archvile

[grim cloud]

i bet on baalgar, but that didnt happen. So who knows

[frail bloom]

Well he's in a different age

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-does-he-know-gif-26833694

[grim cloud]

Baalgars still exists, they are as ancient as hell allegidly.

but yes, THEE Baalgar we seei n 2016 is fought after the civil war i think

[frail bloom]

That seems like a lot of ai work for an enemy

[harsh egret]

one of the cyberdemon concepts i sent a couple days ago looked alot like the baalgar

[frail bloom]

Where gimme pls

[harsh egret]

cant atm, just scroll up in artwork ig xd

[frail bloom]

Oh ok

[harsh egret]

or u can just use the search feature

[grim cloud]

the boss AI from 2016 woudln't really work assuming the idtech6 language talks to idtech8, and the classic cyberdemon in the classic level just stands there and fires

[frail bloom]

Ye I know maybe he would work like this
#screenshots message

Some concepts I was drawin'

He could have a flail

[grim cloud]

ill take it.

[frail bloom]

Yipee

[grim cloud]

now make a spidermastermind

[frail bloom]

Uh no. I made a bruiser tho wanna see

Alr, anyways, I just don't see the balgaar happening in dlc

Hugo said he wanted to put balgaars in eternal and he couldn't even do that. He had another chance in tda but he passed up on it

[grim cloud]

maybe next game

[frail bloom]

Now how abt that bruiser

[grim cloud]

i asked the devs how long from concept to finish of the average new AI, and he said about a Month in dev time. I should of asked how many people it also takes

[frail bloom]

#screenshots message

[frail bloom]

Hmmm, I'm guessing it takes them a year for dlc right

So

They obviously have to work on other stuff too, I'd assume maybe 4 new enemies

That are NOT reskins

Otherwise I would flip

[grim cloud]

well, i bet there are enemies that are already half done by the time TDA was released

[frail bloom]

Oh cool theory

[grim cloud]

and other concepts waiting to be baked

Did you see the cosmic mancubus?

[frail bloom]

I did. It was glorious. Best thing ever.

It's so menacing

[grim cloud]

jsut saying, getting the art ideation finalized is the first big step into making the beast, assuming htey are going to use that

[frail bloom]

Well that's not true all the time

A lot of enemies had good finalized designs but changed

Like the pinky concept art

That one with red armor should've been in eternal

But then you lose out on the tail lol

Nvm

[grim cloud]

yah sometimes the shape doesn't translate as well as you want ingame so things do get changed. But still

im in the middle finding concept artists myself. damn expensive'

[frail bloom]

For what?

[grim cloud]

im making a Lore Book for my GameMaker fantasy platformer

[frail bloom]

I see
