the-dark-ages

[uneven mortar]

Maybe it's a personal issue

It doesn't help that the actual world looks kind of muddy and jank during dragon gameplay

Also the church and spire maps are weirdly similar in layout

[solid nacelle]

Yeah it's just one's tall and one's wide

[frail slate]

@green estuary Thanks. I though its like this but wanted to know for sure. Thank you.

[green estuary]

yeah I looked at the files and it turns out cannibalism self-heal isn't tied to resources at all--it's just 0.23 times the rocket's self-damage

[frail slate]

nice that is good to know 🙂

[uneven mortar]

Cannibalism is tricky imo. It isn't very clear when the self-heal runs out. There should be a bigger indicator or sound

[wheat sigil]

yeah

[uneven mortar]

Like when the star runs out in mario kart

[green estuary]

there is a bar showing the duration directly under your crosshair

idk if it was bigger it would be kinda annoying

[uneven mortar]

Idk, I'd like a toggle for an idiot mode

[green estuary]

although I wouldn't say no to a cool sound cue

[hearty edge]

Yea it has happened to me that I'm using the rocket on like a cyberdemon r something and it runs out and I rocket myself in the face

[frail bloom]

I'm guessing they're just saving that stuff for ripatorium, dlc and the NG+ since imma be honest, ppl forget that the campaigns in these doom games are not usually that hard it's always the side content but we're so used to mods and hard side modes that we forget that this is literally just the campaign we have and that we're better players

Hey so was this fixed

Is the slo mo slider still kinda bugged

Are the animations still on 100% speed even if your game is on like 130% game speed or smt

https://tenor.com/view/travolta-desert-dry-drought-gif-20765263

Uh what does that mean

[pearl patrol]

My favorite weopens as to be the piner weopen

[frail bloom]

Oh so it's fixed

Some guy said it wasn't

Guess he's delulu

[merry sapphire]

i agree, that little bar in the crosshair can get hard to see or notice sometimes

[frail bloom]

WAIT IT ISN'T FIXED

I didn't realize until later

Nvm the guy was right

Josh if you're reading this fix this pls

Tell hugolo martini

[solar cairn]

Randomizer, different waves and so on

[frail bloom]

What does chips mean tho like why the word chips

You think they might add a randomizer

[solar cairn]

I misspoke, I meant improvements

[frail bloom]

Ye I can see that

[solar cairn]

I hope there will be a full-fledged hub with a preset table, maybe a rating, etc.

[frail bloom]

Very good idea ngl

[solar cairn]

It would be cooler than the master lvl campaign

[frail bloom]

I mean we can have both

[solar cairn]

Well, Marty promised a year of support, didn’t he?

[frail bloom]

Hugo did

Marty's a side character

[solar cairn]

Even better

We are waiting for a huge patch 2.3 to TGA

[harsh egret]

how is it not fixed

just cuz theres screen shake doesnt mean its slowmo

[frail bloom]

It's not the same animation speed

[harsh egret]

oh wait am i braindead

ye alr

[frail bloom]

Ye see

[warm ibex]

It was a selling point

Intentionally saving a pre-launch selling point for DLC or bonus post-launch content would be a bit of an issue

[solar cairn]

Does he read the discord chat?

There are thousands of messages a day

[lament lotus]

Armored mancubi were the bane of my existence, but the latest update buffed the top of my hitlist, whiplashes.

[solar cairn]

Throwing a shield, a shot from an impaler or ssg and he’s dead

[simple raptor]

How do we report a bug in game?

My ultra nightmare run is blocked by a bug in the final battle mission.

[solar cairn]

Revenant is much worse, if you didn’t have time to catch him in the camp through a glove, you have to run all over the arena

[lament lotus]

Whiplashes' buff had increased their resistance to SSG

But then again, I think they're more annoying than annoying

I guess the real top of my hatred list is those accursed nightmare imps. I've gotten so many UN runs lost or jeopardized by a single swipe to my back.

[green estuary]

Whiplashes never had resistance to the ssg

Shield bash + ssg has always staggered them

[lament lotus]

Huh?

Guess I must've read the patch notes wrong.

[green estuary]

Mancs, pinkies, hell knights, battle knights and barons gained resistance to it

And now only pinkies and hell knights have mitigation, though it’s been decreased from update 2

[frail bloom]

I wasn't disagreeing I'm just speculating since they haven't directly addressed what you wanted really

[frail bloom]

Well he and hugo mentioned the doom discord I believe, I think they were reading the messages? Don't exactly remember

[warm ibex]

submit a ticket at help.bethesda.net

[frail bloom]

I'd say they're gonna add a few more bug fixes next update but it won't be just bug fixes it's gonna be new content from now on

I still want them to fix the slo mo issue

@slim shuttle I think the reason why slo mo feels wrong is cuz the animation speed of the melee doesn't line up with your game speed enabled so maybe if you get the chance and you want to, you can address this to Hugo, thanks

https://tenor.com/view/i-know-how-you-feel-dude-skya-ton-ton-ty-rux-dinotrux-gif-17929746

[solid nacelle]

Yeah at the beginning of the last stream Hugo shouted out the doom discord which I found surprising since I don't ever see devs here

[warm ibex]

I think he meant facebook

since he was talking about and posting to the doom facebook group at that time

[frail bloom]

Ye guys I said discord but it's actually facebook

Oopsies

[solid nacelle]

Well alright

[frail bloom]

But ye the slo mo thing still needs some fixing

[solid nacelle]

Damn maybe I should make a facebook so I can see what's what

[brisk rock]

Is anyone's "Melee Expert milestone/achievement still bugged?

[harsh egret]

which is crazy cuz i think its miles more important for him to look at stuff here instead

or have a chat here or smth from time to time

blows my mind

[frail bloom]

Ye who the hell frequents facebook

[harsh egret]

nobody

its just what he uses for social media

theres ppl there sure but i think its a bit of a different audience here that he should also take a look at

[frail bloom]

Ngl the discord has better conversations on here aswell as pinpointing issues much better

Instead of this sucks fix it

We say why

[harsh egret]

ill try to highlight a msg next stream about doing some discord ama or smth

see if josh reads it out or smth

[frail bloom]

Tell him abt the slo mo thing

If you want to

[harsh egret]

what slowmo thing

[frail bloom]

The animation thing where it doesn't line up

Kinda bothers me

[harsh egret]

ah u mean like the game speed thing

[frail bloom]

Ye

[harsh egret]

is it an actual gameplay issue tho?

im pretty sure its not

[frail bloom]

Well I want it faster so it should be faster

Don't let a mod beat the official thing

Uh besides that we should talk abt things we would like to see ye

[harsh egret]

im just not sure that actually needs fixing lol

the clip from earlier looks fine to me

it doesnt slow down the pace at which u can melee anyway

[frail bloom]

If I want it faster I want it faster

[harsh egret]

bruh

[frail bloom]

If it bothers me it bothers me

[solid nacelle]

I mean if slowing down the game can slow down the melee animation then it's only fair for the opposite to be true

[frail bloom]

So fix it

[frail bloom]

Wait wha

[harsh egret]

i mean yeah, i just dont see why they would fix it apart from just cuz some ppl just get bothered by it personally

[frail bloom]

So why isn't increasing the speed increase the animation speed

[frail bloom]

Well they don't need to increase the swap speed but they did it cuz it was requested and made the game feel better

If it can make the game feel better you should pursue it

Don't let a mod outplay the official implementation

That's just lame

[solid nacelle]

So true!

[frail bloom]

But ye someone ask them abt master levels

We heard literally nothing abt them for months

[harsh egret]

asking about that is like asking when dlc will come out

we dont know apart from the fact that they are working on it

[green estuary]

boomer hugo using facebook

[harsh egret]

and they arent gonna say when they are out but i think its obvious it will be by december

[frail bloom]

No not dates I just want to know if it's the ng+ thing

[harsh egret]

they wont say it

[frail bloom]

Or if it's anything like eternals

Like how does it play, how many levels

[green estuary]

ng+ if it does arrive I can guarantee it's gonna be out of nowhere

like the ripatorium was for update 2

[frail bloom]

I hate that type of marketing man

Like why kill most the hype tease us a bit

[harsh egret]

ive been hyped for it since i heard about it lol

[frail bloom]

Mooore I want moore

[harsh egret]

this guy bro

[frail bloom]

I want to know if it's ng+ or regular ml drops

[frail bloom]

I'm your opp

Can't get rid of me

I'm a little parasite

[harsh egret]

nah i think its just u have low patience

[frail bloom]

That too

But ain't everyone like you

Infact almost no one is

[solid nacelle]

What if they did ng+ like an act structure

[frail bloom]

They moved on and undownloaded the game or smt

[solid nacelle]

Where they release master levels for the first few levels and then act 2 some months later and so on

[harsh egret]

yh imagine being patient about new features from a non live-service game

[frail bloom]

Hey I don't make the rules if ppl have low patience then they have low patience

[harsh egret]

ok but assuming everyone is inpatient but me is crazy

[frail bloom]

Have you seen the youtube comments

They are it's true

[harsh egret]

thats the loud minority

[frail bloom]

And the quiet majority just stopped following the game

The loud one's are just holding on to anything

Idk man marketing is important

[harsh egret]

like literally any game on the planet

[harsh egret]

they will lmao

[frail bloom]

Ye but what's the problem with talking abt what you're working on and offering little details each week

[green estuary]

that's just every game
the same half a million people who played smilksmong on release--I can guarantee you less than 10% of that will still be playing the game a couple weeks from now, if not even less time

mfs in general have no patience

[frail bloom]

Hey wait silksong came out

What abt that

Is it good

[harsh egret]

what about it

yes ive put in 12 hrs so far

[frail bloom]

You like it more than hollowknight

[harsh egret]

didnt finish it

[frail bloom]

I see

[frail bloom]

Ye that's what I'm saying

[harsh egret]

but the new character is rly cool

[green estuary]

brother you are a prime example of this

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

Sure you have ppl who announce they're impatient like me

But c'mon I'm bored tell me smt

[harsh egret]

ur lucky u got the leaks bruh

[frail bloom]

I am lucky

We're like the 3 percent who know more when we shouldn't really

[harsh egret]

yeah, so be thankful for that cuz thats already way more than we should know

[frail bloom]

I mean who's talking abt ng+ on any other platform

[harsh egret]

twitter ig?

[frail bloom]

You don't count

You share everything

Hugo should look here more often

[harsh egret]

what about the 7k views and almost 300 likes

on the post when the leak came out

[frail bloom]

Ok you count

Damn

And Hugo and Josh haven't seen them?

[harsh egret]

im sure they have, hosh liked my stuff in the past

hosh.

[frail bloom]

Hmmmm

[harsh egret]

josh*

[green estuary]

H O S H

[solid nacelle]

A curse really, cause now I'm kicking and squirming over the idea of a NG+ that I don't even know 100% is gonna see the light of day

[frail bloom]

They're playing silent

[frail bloom]

Ye see like is it real or not it's been months I want some more pieces to connect so I look smart

[green estuary]

[frail bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/totally-ton-ton-matt-hill-dinotrux-absolutely-gif-17929260

[harsh egret]

we will, we know they r working on master levels and we got none on release like eternal had, and none so far either
what else would they be working on when it comes to master levels if not making a ng+ master level campaign thing

i bet ng+ is just a codename internally

its really just gonna be called master level campaign or smth

or master campaign idk

to me this makes sense and i dont need anything else

its already crazy info

[green estuary]

technically eternal had two "master" levels on release
although neither were very hard and one was locked behind a further paywall

both were actually easier than their respective campaign levels now that I think about it

[harsh egret]

yeah my point is just that we got none in this game so far so it has to be smth bigger

[green estuary]

we can hope

[solid nacelle]

Or we can cope

But I think I will maintain optimism

[harsh egret]

@frail bloom also technically the melee animation on 150% speed is actually about 15-20% faster 🤓

checked in video editor now

[frail bloom]

@solid nacelle does it still feel right tho

I haven't played in like weeks so I wouldn't know

Is it better than the kaibz mod

[harsh egret]

yeah about 15% it looks like

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/491020118780805140/1413975658388000988/image.png?ex=68bde2f3&is=68bc9173&hm=2529266a4620e7a8308dfe7bb4f665a82f536b5e13eea48bbc4cb412a9d84b96&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[frail bloom]

Ye but the real question is, is it better than the kaibz mod

Someone use the kaibz mod and compare

See which one is faster

[harsh egret]

doubt it since i assume kaibz mod would be 50% faster?

since apparently it fixes the issue..?

[frail bloom]

See the mod wins again

Can't be happening nuh uh we don't accept that

[harsh egret]

almost makes me think it being like this is on purpose

[frail bloom]

How would this be beneficial

[warm ibex]

do any of you controller players feel like the shield saw aim assist was lowered with this update?

I swear I'm missing demons by like a hair and it's going right by them when it would previously slightly curve mid air to ensure a direct hit

[green estuary]

I can see if the files have changed

[pearl patrol]

Im a PC player

[solid nacelle]

Yeah I haven't had any problems with it. I never really noticed it was a thing until other people pointed it out anyway

[green estuary]

huh
there isn't even a decl file for the shield saw in aimassist
just shield bash

[fervent maple]

I'm not experiencing this at all right now but I did at launch. I think it was a setting that I turned off by accident? I'm not 100% sure

Shield saw auto seeking or something I'm not sure

[pearl patrol]

For me nothing is wrong still normale

[frail bloom]

Nm

Hmmm*

Ok ok

[long heath]

I'm learning to respect the games systems more and more on my second nightmare playthrough

I'm starting to like it more

[exotic slate]

What if Dexter Morgan and the doom slayer had sex with each other and that's why the doomslayer is so angry

[long heath]

Without the slowmo the controls feel even more responsive. Maybe a little too much but as soon as I got used to it. It became crazy fun

[grizzled thicket]

What if you shut the fuck up (no harm)

[silent trail]

Is the super shotgun bug fixed?

[long heath]

I think so, it was oneshotting hell knights to execution when I was playing nightmare

[silent trail]

Ah, it was, just saw the notes

Looks like they increased it's damage again too.

Surprised they did that

[exotic slate]

The stupid fucking marching band is outside my neighborhood and shaking my entire goddamn fucking house and probably all my neighbors it sounds like actual bass boosted fucking speakers the size of semi trucks busting the fucking concrete

[silent trail]

lol

[cyan mist]

i play the dark ages on gamepass and im not sure if the 2nd ripatorium update is available in game yet or not because it still shows ripatorium 1.0

[topaz oasis]

Bold of you to assume I'd use aim assist just because im a controller player

[solar cairn]

2.0 hasn’t been there yet

[cyan mist]

oh alr thanks

[frank turtle]

not sure

[hearty edge]

this one was so cool

[frail bloom]

Oh thanks

Ye it has babylon in the name cuz cyberdemons

[warm ibex]

you should be using shield saw aim assist lol

makes the game feel better imo, lets you sling that thing around without worry

[long heath]

I haven't noticed

[warm ibex]

[grizzled thicket]

Have not played the game yet so no idea

[hearty edge]

took me a handful of tries but the cyberdemon is my favorite demon to fight so fighting 9 was fun

[long heath]

I haven't tried the ripatorium yet

[frail bloom]

Guys 6:51 pm

https://tenor.com/view/dead-chat-dead-chat-fancy-dead-chat-yapping-pixelated-yapping-dead-chat-pixelated-gif-6714540924697693626

Ngl don't like the gif

Too try hard

[topaz oasis]

Is there even a dedicated setting for it? I just know I have aim assist disabled on my game

[warm ibex]

couldn't tell you lol, I just know it auto corrects every time my throws are off

[topaz oasis]

Ill check it up later then

But yeah, I normally dont have issues throwing the shield unless it's a fricking revenant and the mofo doesnt stop dashing all around the place

Jesus revenants are annoying in this game

[hearty edge]

sup ninjas

[solar cairn]

Damn, if they really make a hub for the ripatorium, it will be possible to track the tops of passages by time for a specific preset

[fervent maple]

Expecting a lot of unbeatable 1 second records lol

[solar cairn]

I saw the channel on YouTube Zero Master, it seems, there is the passage of Eternal as a f1 race

In principle, it is enough to be able to download and share presets in the game, and the same leaderboard can be opened in the browser

[stoic forge]

The game says to stand near big bosses to get parryable attacks and then makes it so standing near big bosses has a chance of getting acid, fire, or a crimson slash when fighting most of them.

[green estuary]

Yeah, stand near, not stand two inches away from them
The vagary is the only superheavy that you have to fight from medium distance, the others you can afford to get quite close

But yeah, if you put your face in an agaddon’s crotch then he’s gonna do his unparryable attack

[frail bloom]

I hate im

And it's ranged

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-crying-meme-gif-22168515

[stoic forge]

manc, agaddon and final boss all seem to incentivize close play with green attacks except when they don’t

[green estuary]

Yeah, like I said, close but not ridiculously close
The only time ahzrak punishes you for being too close is if you are literal millimeters away from him

[stoic forge]

I honestly had no idea. You mean if I stand 2 feet from agaddon and ahzrak I’ll never see the crimson slash?

[brave spoke]

Whats the difference between the mortar and reg mancubus

[solid nacelle]

Mortar mancubus fires toxic sludge

[brave spoke]

Oh lol i thought they all did that

[solid nacelle]

Apparently not

[delicate grotto]

Mortar Mancubus is very similar to the Cybermanc from previous games, just without the armor.

[delicate grotto]

[dreamy kiln]

Don't be rude

[solid nacelle]

Bro is starting shit for no reason

[midnight kayak]

sounds like someone lost a clash royale match

[dreamy kiln]

I'm saying to not be rude, if you have your own opinion then that's you, but don't go around telling someone to shut up for having an opinion

[delicate grotto]

Lmfao, wth

[pine sky]

[delicate grotto]

Thing is, it wasn’t even an opinion. It was a statement to clarify how an AI behaved.
Bro’s just hating on Pain Elementals

[dreamy kiln]

Well either way, they had no right to tell you that

[loud gulch]

personally never used any aim assist in this game, i actually never knew there was aim assist lmao

game is fun without the need of assist anyways

[torn fox]

anyone else think ripatorium could use a co-op mode?

[torn fox]

chapter progress should be saved if you're going for 100 percent on levels

[solar cairn]

It will require too many resources

[torn fox]

lol that must be a joke

[solar cairn]

There was already a battle mod and 1.5 people played it

[torn fox]

battlemode wasn't good. 2016's was good and still has a following

[solar cairn]

Let them throw all their strength into single content

[torn fox]

yeah true, but a co op mode would be pretty low resources

just make it p2p and only in ripatorium

peer to peer*

[uneven mortar]

Is the ripatorium still getting an endless wave mode?

[solar cairn]

As if there is no point, if the preset is adequate, then all the demons are killed in the solo

[solar spoke]

yeah, get too close to Ahzrak and he summons those annoying red spikes as a radius attack. Learned the hard way after shield bashing him af6ter parrying his projectile slash lol

[lusty vessel]

is anyone please able to help me? im stuck and cant land on From Beyond level where i have to land to do a battle on the platform after 2nd tentacle

ive tried restart the levl twice

restarted the game

[long heath]

if doom TDA is supposed to make me feel like a tank why do i get oneshot from one unparried hell surge attack

[lusty vessel]

its this bit https://imgur.com/a/wfl0r2F

ive tried literally every button just in case

nothing is letting me land

or am i missing smth stupid

it is the 'use' button to land right

same button u hit to open locks and shizz

[solar spoke]

Is that red ring around the landing site a hell barrier that's still active?

[lusty vessel]

https://imgur.com/a/Ad07RaP

theres no barrier i can see?

[solar spoke]

yeah the landing zone marker is there. I don't know what's up. Maybe try doing the tentacles in a different order?

[lusty vessel]

🙁

ok

[solar spoke]

you playing on PC or on console?

[sand sphinx]

Hey does anyone have Doom Eternal and is willing to help with multiplayer trophies? We just need 1

On PS, obviously

[harsh egret]

dont we have that already?

[lusty vessel]

on pc, and diff tentacle order didnt help

im hitting the 'use' button and it still using landing

[solar spoke]

if you're on Steam maybe try verifying the integrity of the game files in properties. I can't really think of anything else

[lusty vessel]

guess ill try that

it is the 'use' button to land right? im not going crazy or smth

[solar spoke]

Yeah, it's the melee/use button

It could just be that you need to quit out of the game entirely and go back in. Had a bug at launch on Forsaken Plains where I couldn't go any further than after the second arena

[lusty vessel]

nope, that didnt help either

how do i go about getting this fixed? not being able to actually play a $60 game is a bit shit

[solar spoke]

Just tried it and I've been able to land fine after doing the one tentacle and the two hell carriers. I think you can submit a ticket on the Bethesda website at the help section. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong though

[lusty vessel]

hmm

i was always doing 2 tentacles

ill try just one - which one did you do

and what button did you use to land just to be sure

[solar spoke]

I mainly play controller so the melee/interact button is mapped to the right stick

Did the one in the open by the hell carrier first. To the left of the starting point

[lusty vessel]

fuck me dude i just plugged a coontroller in and pressed right stick and it worked

tyvm

[solar spoke]

No problem, probably whatever way it's mapped on your keyboard atm

[lusty vessel]

i had use mapped to ctrl

lmao

[lusty vessel]

@solar spoke ok after all that the indicators on the map showing where stuff like gold and secrets are arent shoiwng anymore?

[strong moth]

After a good 3ish days of trying to go trophy hunting on Eternal, I think I realized that Dark Ages is just my home now. Feels so weird to go back to a game that was my favorite FPS of all time and feel that I prefer playing Dark Ages, haha! UN here I come I guess

[solar spoke]

There aren't really any secrets in From Beyond, you just need to destroy the hellfighter ships that spawn

[lusty vessel]

who in the hell tuned the shield parry dagger rune

its op af

[strong moth]

Haven’t used it as much as the others. I felt tied to Heaven Splitter forever but I think Auto Turret has my favorite animation and “vibe”. Upgraded Ground Fissure is also NASTY

[lusty vessel]

not got heaven splitter yet

[green estuary]

honestly every shield rune aside from auto turret is pretty goated

[strong moth]

Yeah Auto Turret is less useful than Fissure and Splitter but I just love BRRRRRRRR and health drops lol

[green estuary]

autoturret would have a better niche as a boss-killer of sorts if the bosses in the game weren't so few in number and also so melee-heavy

like for example if ahzrak threw more projectiles (would probably make the fight a bit more fun as well) then the performance difference between autoturret and the rest would be very apparent
but as it is, he usually only throws one projectile or so per phase so your shield rune ends up not mattering that much against him

[strong moth]

Auto Turret deletes Revenants for me a lot so I don’t have to chase them down. Acolytes too

[green estuary]

so do daggers tbf
but they also delete everything around them as well

[strong moth]

I hear what you’re saying and I understand but BRRRR SHOULDER GUN

[fervent maple]

You know what, it would be cool if the turret was the only one that triggered on melee attacks

That might even make it too strong

[solar cairn]

Their shock rune will become more useful, because it acts on a group of enemies

Does the turret shoot at the group or at the single target?

[shadow flame]

the dreadmace is trolling me so much cause I always use it too early when Im still not in range lol

[uneven mortar]

I get so mad when I'm trying to save myself from a super heavy and it snaps onto a fucking SOLDIER

[solar spoke]

I wish there was an award for dreadmacing a single enemy like there was for BFGing a single fodder demon in Eternal

[lusty vessel]

nvm...i hate the doors here that have no open indicator on them but need to use to open

[solar cairn]

I’m playing with a glove and it’s just some kind of imba

[frail bloom]

Idk lower the difficulty

[frail bloom]

If 2016's was so good than why is it so dead and called mid but now apparently it was perfect. I'm not saying you're wrong but you're just too late

[frail bloom]

But yes that would be heavenly

[green estuary]

do you?

[torn fox]

the concept and platform they provided was 10/10. its underrated but you're right, it wasnt played and most people just ignored it lol

[frail bloom]

Yup and those who loved it stayed quiet until it was too late

[torn fox]

I mean it even had the map creation and arena modes, payload mode deathmatch etc, it played better than quake champions lol. but I think with doom eternal the strategy of gameplay was too complex. they tried to implement battlemode and everyone just wanted to be the slayer and you get auto placed as demon

[frail bloom]

But hey they won't do mech and dragon secrions anymore after how they were recieved so they m8ght do smt with multiplayer next game

[green estuary]

damn I'm actually gonna miss mech sections

[frail bloom]

Have you seen what hugo said, at the very least we can share community presets soon

[green estuary]

they barely take up any time but they're fun

[frail bloom]

They're fun for what they are but c'mon we can't have them again

[torn fox]

agreed, the dragon and mech were done excellent but they're too simple. it feels like they played it safe and made them extremely easy

and also they were too hesitant to make them complex and lengthy so they're like five mins long per mission at most

[frail bloom]

Ye they're too simple to the point where they're obv pace breakers and allow you to turn off your brain and relax

Which again is fine for what it is

[torn fox]

Yeah its almost like between dragon/mech/and the cutscenes a third of the game isnt fps gameplay

[frail bloom]

Ye next game or installment could use some pacing adjustments

Dlc boutta be fire

[torn fox]

Agreed

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/essp-enderblitz-galahad-slumber-party-why-isnt-it-possible-gif-25649259

[frail bloom]

They said the puzzles were really fun I wanna see them

[torn fox]

More puzzles would be a w

[frail bloom]

I mean if they expand on them that would be cool ye but would you rather have those or a full fledged co-op

This is for next game

[green estuary]

mech multiplayer would have been pretty based ngl

although I am glad they focused on single player stuff

[frail bloom]

They would need to actually make the models visible tho

It's kinda wonkey when you zoom out

I wish it was third person like those godzilla games

[green estuary]

nahhh first person all the way

[torn fox]

I feel like the new gameplay format in general was amazing though honestly.. the parrying, sprint, general gunplay, strategy, depth to weapon choice and how to handle encounters and shield

[frail bloom]

Boooooo

[torn fox]

i think it was a one off choice but they should run with it for another game

[frail bloom]

I like it more than eternal but by no objective means it's literally preference

[frail bloom]

Dark ages does feel kinda 2016-ish so they could definetly amp it up next game

[torn fox]

its 100 percent preference, I finished eternal on nightmare because while it was challenging it was easy to master.. dark ages i prefer because its harder honestly. I was impressed that just a doom game could reinvent in such a way

[green estuary]

but muh skill ceiling

[torn fox]

I cant even imagine dark ages on UN

I feel like eternal's skill ceiling isnt too high

[frail bloom]

Idc if eternal has a higher one if I'm having more fun I'm having more fun

I'm a shrimple man

[green estuary]

it is extremely high, probably higher than tda's
but I really couldn't care less tbh

[frail bloom]

Parrying is like breaking a weakpoint but I get to do it more

Stimulus going crazy

[torn fox]

Eternal has a great skill ceiling no doubt but if I finished it on nightmare without much effort (im not great myself) then I feel like there are players who are much better who handled it the same way

Ultra nightmare runs must go crazy on eternal tho

[frail bloom]

I have a deliberate playstyle

[green estuary]

I'm a good fps player but I don't spend bajillions of hours obsessing over a single game to get to the point where I'm actually pushing the limits of the game's mechanics

[frail bloom]

Chaingun shield everything

[green estuary]

bruh just getting past doom hunter base with no deaths is frickin hard

[torn fox]

Oh yeah I can see that

Chaingun is the whatsitcalled now right

[green estuary]

skullcrusher

[frail bloom]

On nightmare it's easy but un is a problem only cuz of my nerves

I can't really calm them down so I just play nightmare

[torn fox]

I feel like its the second weapon though skullcrusher feels like its for farming hp for me

Ravager is so good on higher difficulties, farm hp with the upgrade

[frail bloom]

Also I heard shield bash gives health? W

W restacking option

Now buff the flail and we good

[green estuary]

I don't have nerves, but my focus and performance in any given arena just rubber bands all over the place
like I can be the most locked in mf in the world for 45 minutes, but out of nowhere I'll just make multiple dumb mistakes in a row and die

[torn fox]

Yeah the last melee weapon (blanking on new weapon names atm) but its too slow, the interupption on higher tier enemies is too much to justify the ammo refill

[green estuary]

and then proceed to be locked tf in for another 45 minutes

[frail bloom]

Dumb mistakes are also a thing like I don't wanna lock in for hrs straight

[frail bloom]

I'm pretty good with the dread mace idk

[torn fox]

Run circles with the ravager with health farming upgrade and the no speed reduction upgrade and its op

Dread mace is good ya i prefer it but flail is too fun

[frail bloom]

It's easy to bonk big enemies

[green estuary]

kinda sorta
it used to be that when you were at low health and you shield bashed into an enemy, only your primary target dropped health even if multiple enemies around you died from splash damage
now the enemies killed from splash damage also drop health

[torn fox]

thats kinda op

[frail bloom]

Ye and that's waaayyy better

And makes waaayyyy more sense

[torn fox]

Not op but good i mean

[green estuary]

it's just the same thing that the shield throw already did

just a nice qol change

[frail bloom]

Ye but it's now two options

And plus movement with shield bash is further incentivised

[torn fox]

Makes sense

[frail bloom]

Bash for some health and move around

[torn fox]

I didnt use shield bash enough in my playthru is it highly recommended?

[frail bloom]

Staggers a bunch of heavies

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/midnight-the-cat-stopped-working-midnight-the-cat-cat-cat-meme-funny-cat-gif-81113296414293415

[frail bloom]

Rev's, arachnotrons, hell knights, good movement option

[torn fox]

Lol

[green estuary]

dude it's one of the game's core mechanics

of course it's highly recommended

[torn fox]

I used it but I just didnt use it as much I felt like I could have utilized it more

[frail bloom]

I love shield throwing, gaining a strength boost snd then shieldbashing

[torn fox]

Thats good yeah

[solid nacelle]

Shield bash is a guaranteed falter against most heavies

[torn fox]

I used a ton of shield throwing

[green estuary]

shield bash into ssg is the most powerful basic combo in the whole game

[torn fox]

gotcha Ill implement that

[frail bloom]

But my fav thing to do is spamming shield throw and a heavy weapon

[torn fox]

I used a lot of shield throw and then ssg

I still do

[frail bloom]

It stunlocks the enemy like forever

It's like quickswitching but with your shield

Stupidly fun

[torn fox]

Yeah the stunlock from shield throw into higher level enemies is great, thats kind of what I mained

[green estuary]

this game has so much cool stuff going on with the falter system

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[vale jay]

Fr

[summer temple]

I think the ssg got fixed

[solid nacelle]

They released a hotfix a few days ago with that and a bunch more changes

[iron pumice]

Hi I really want to get doom the dark ages but my dad thinks there's nudity in it so I need to know if there's nudity or not

[arctic flame]

Daaaayyyyuuuuum the new update got me bitch slapping Agaddons around like they're nothing more than pests, nightmare is actually manageable and the SSG fix coupled with Empowered Railspike Empaler or Reaver Chainshot is absolutely devastating.

[arctic flame]

No nudity brother

[iron pumice]

Thanks

[arctic flame]

Pure demon slaying and non stop ass kicking

[iron pumice]

what even is the loar of doom

[arctic flame]

The entire Doom series or just The Dark Ages?

[iron pumice]

All doom series

[solid nacelle]

It's only M rated for gore and violence, no nudity whatsoever

[iron pumice]

Okay

[solid nacelle]

Very complicated

[arctic flame]

Best is to head over to the Doom wiki and read for yourself because it's a looooong read or watch YouTube videos of the lore

[iron pumice]

Okay

[summer temple]

No nudity, only gore. Lots of gore

[frank turtle]

no nudity or swearing, just a lot of blood

[frail bloom]

I remember when they said we would see a villains ass and I thought it would be a cutscene

Nope it's just ahzrak in his final form and you can barely see it

I thought the storry was gonna be funny smh

I love a little laughter what can I say

https://tenor.com/view/jiggy-kid-dancing-dancing-kid-african-kid-dancing-jiggy-bald-kid-gif-567562522024185937

[barren warren]

does his forehead count too

[frail bloom]

Almost

I thought he was gonna take a demon shower or smt

Like c'mon I wanna laugh

[barren warren]

bro 100% showers in the blood of lesser demons

[frail bloom]

Ye I want smt ridiculous to laugh at

I laughed at like the atlan bomb scene and the payment required scene

I thought before release they were gonna have a little intern pilot the atlan chaingun or smt

I was hyped ngl

Story was good in the end but y'know it's hard to get invested if you don't have a mix of everything

[barren warren]

they should’ve had a scene/gameplay event where a titan throws a mancubus or cyberdemon into battle

or an atlan using its own severed arm as a melee weapon

lot of potential for atlan background scenes instead of the same old punch trading

[frail bloom]

Bruh that would be awesome

Have some fun with your premise stop being all boring

[barren warren]

for the first atlan minigun, could’ve had a guy open the hatch and give a thumbs up to the slayer like the concept art

[frail bloom]

That's what I based my thoughts on

[solid nacelle]

What if there were timed encounters where like you're in an arena doing your thing fighting all the guys, meanwhile there's a titan far in the distance making his way towards you and you have to kill everybody before he gets there or he'll stomp you to death or something

[frail bloom]

I as excited for B.C intern

[frail bloom]

That's the turret sections but actually good

Man see this iS why hugo should BE HERE

[solid nacelle]

Yeah I was just thinking that

[frail bloom]

We have good ideas

But nooooo his fossil ass is on facebook

What's on facebook

No disrespect to hugo but seriously

He's missing out

[solid nacelle]

Ai generated boomer memes

[frail bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/disgusted-gif-7762659361595932548

[barren warren]

also wasted opportunity to give the slayer his own designated communications person/tech support instead of the slayer suit ai

which i still find kinda dumb

[frail bloom]

He had valen, novik and thira but ngl I wanted like a specific character over his suit

Make it intern's great great great great grest great great grest great grest great great great great grandfather

[barren warren]

eternal intern’s ancestor, same voice actor maybe

[frail bloom]

Ye bring him back he was funny as hell

Whoever clled him cringy I'm staying away

[barren warren]

still waiting for id to fix the cacodemons prematurely ejaculating their parryable projectile and the “weapon swap” key not remembering the previous weapon when switching a weapon class’ options

[frail bloom]

Ye I guess submit a ticket and hopefully they respond

Or spam Josh in the streams idk

Actually don't do that

Politely respond at 5 min intervals

[harsh egret]

i wouldnt be surprised if we see that in the dlc

or master levels

[barren warren]

kill 50 komodos in 1 minute or else the maykrs blow up your not-pacemaker

[frail bloom]

@mystic barn what meter or time signature is What Lies Below composed in? It's either 4/4, 6/8 or 12/8, or I'm dum but some help would be awesome

[frail bloom]

Where did everyone go

[chrome flint]

will we ever get meme skins for dark ages? like the doomicorn or mullet marauder from eternal. just think it would be cool

[frail bloom]

Idk a guy with overalls is on the table

Hugo skin with overalls like c'mon

[tranquil badge]

Most likely 4/4

[frail bloom]

Alr I thought either that or the others cuz the drum beat is kinda fast

I'll keep 4/4 in mind tho thanks

[iron pumice]

My dad might get me doom dark ages

[delicate grotto]

Sick

[frail bloom]

Trust, it's not anything innappropiate

[delicate grotto]

Tried to get my Dad to play Doom 2016 years ago.
The classic games are definitely more his speed. He struggled hard… lol

[frail bloom]

It's goofy gore and high octane action

[iron pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-the-dark-ages-doom-dark-ages-doom-dark-ages-doomguy-gif-15980962764398322199

[delicate grotto]

Oh shit I read that wrong.
Samir’s right though. It’s not a serious game series. Everything is tongue in cheek.

[frail bloom]

I actually wish it was funnier ngl

[delicate grotto]

Violence with a bit of campiness

[frail bloom]

I get bored at times

[bold tinsel]

what color r his eyes

[iron pumice]

doom guy looks sick as hell

[delicate grotto]

This is why Eternal’s animations will always be my favorite.

The expressions during executions are priceless

[frail bloom]

Ye the only time I felt light heartedness was the atlan titan bomb scene and the payment required scene

Everything else was uber serious despite it's premise like c'mon have some fun

[frail bloom]

When isn't he

Like man what happened to ancient intern

[delicate grotto]

Yeah I would’ve liked a little more of that, but I get they were scaling it back a bit to strike a nice balance between 2016’s and Eternal’s tone. I thought the devs managed that well, but I definitely think they could’ve leaned more into campy humor.

[frail bloom]

I don't feel that way I think some story pacing work is needed

[delicate grotto]

Absolutely

[frail bloom]

It's prob the best but like I can understand if someone just started sleeping

Talking abt you Slade

But nooooo hugo won't see this at all

He's busy scrolling thru facebook looking at the bajjilionth person complaining abt no quickswapping

Why ain't the boomguy in the sacrophogus I thought the entire crusades were two days!!!

[bold tinsel]

what color is doomguys eyes

[delicate grotto]

Doom 2016 did it best. Gritty and dark atmosphere with moments of lighthearted ridiculousness.

[frail bloom]

Ye it was pretty well balanced despite how plain it is

Dark ages has way more material to work with

[delicate grotto]

Brown, or maybe a dark hazel.

[bold tinsel]

ok

thx

[frail bloom]

Josh if you're reading this, when I don't skip a cutscene or story in a doom game just bc it's that good then you've made the perfect story

But it has to be the entire thing

[delicate grotto]

I really do hope id continues building on Medieval Doom. Some of the sickest shit I’ve seen in fictional media, ngl.

[frail bloom]

I don't know why I said Josh and you he don't make the story

Hugo helps with that

[frail bloom]

Ye it's super interesting but it takes itself too seriously when it doesn't need too

There are times to be serious and there are times to let loose

[delicate grotto]

Yeah, for sure

[frail bloom]

Ngl I wanna ask Hugo next stream if the story has funny moments and he'll completely ignore my question

I love a good chortle what can I say

https://tenor.com/view/jiggy-dance-jiggybaldboy-bald-boy-dance-jiggy-bald-boy-gif-1708450694890255301

[warm ibex]

I think it should!

The very serious and grim nature of the story adds a lot to the drama

[frail bloom]

I ain't saying be a goofy parody but it has this problem where it doesn't really defelop a characters personwlity and humor is a very good way to go

[warm ibex]

I think that's more of a "lack of story" problem

[frail bloom]

I'm not saying don't get rid of that but don't make it the only thing

[patent vector]

horde is in the doom discord?

[warm ibex]

they have a lot of characters in TDA and not a lot of story all things considered, which makes it hard to really develop everyone to the fullest

[frail bloom]

Where's muh intern why isn't he in the big chaingun?

I rememb3r the concept art

I was excited for that man

What abt the booty thing we saw back jn january it's just ahzraks final form

[warm ibex]

he is? where?

[frail bloom]

Where's my butt jokes

I need some laughter

[patent vector]

idk i just saw him

[warm ibex]

scary!!

[frail bloom]

I remember I thought he was gonna shower or smt and it was gonna be super campy

Showering in blood or smt

And y'know they said blockbuster

Blockbusters have lots of campy higher than life humor

What did I say smt

Also I wanna know who's composing

I need to know

https://tenor.com/view/cena-ass-john-cena-gif-12412994414466314679

Why no kreed fat jokes

He's a punching bag like c'mon

Who's composing I needs to know

Wait when do y'all think we'll get a trailer

We always talk abt the release date but not the trailers

I'm guessing december

Idk it just feels right

[patent vector]

[warm ibex]

my magic eight ball says...... trailer at the game awards, full release in february......

[frail bloom]

When is the game awards?

Also february feels early idk why

But it would be like 10 months by then

[warm ibex]

december 11th

[frail bloom]

But y'know I expect like 6 levels and 5 new enemies and two bosses and a new melee and gun and shield rune

I expect a lot ngl

[warm ibex]

I expect it to be better than tag

[frail bloom]

Ye so december

[green estuary]

nah more than 6 levels cmon now

[frail bloom]

But it's 6 long levels

[green estuary]

the base campaign had what, 22?

[warm ibex]

it'll be less than 11, I believe

[frail bloom]

They're kinda not traditional levels tho

[green estuary]

the main campaign had hella long levels too

[frail bloom]

Some are 7 min long

[solar spoke]

Yeah December seems like a reasonable timeframe. Especially if we're going off of TAG 1 releasing 7 months after Eternal base

[frail bloom]

Time of christmas joy

[frail bloom]

Which ones I forgor

[harsh egret]

only 6 levels?

[warm ibex]

Someone mentioned wanting 11 DLC levels on stream and hugo seemed to think that was a bit much

[frail bloom]

Why is 6 levels not understandable

[harsh egret]

mightve been just a troll also

[frail bloom]

They're 6 large levels

Like imagine them an hr each

[solar spoke]

Tbf, TAG altogether had 7

[harsh egret]

i expect 9 or so

[solar cairn]

If they give master levels and revisions of the ripatorium in December, then we can wait for the dlc

[frail bloom]

But what type of levels

[warm ibex]

although you do have to keep in mind that TAG was split into two parts, it's been confirmed that the TDA dlc will be one full expansion

so longer dev time

[twin mauve]

n

[solar spoke]

Oh fair, tbf logistics might've been a nightmare with Covid

[frail bloom]

Bc open levels tend to be shorter if you skip stuff

[warm ibex]

oh yeah for sure

[harsh egret]

why are we still comparing anything to the dlc development time and etc

[frail bloom]

Cuz it's fun

[patent vector]

9 levels is fair i think

[frail bloom]

9 would be awesome but what type of levels would they make

[warm ibex]

I have no idea, I was just trying to set PG's expectations

[harsh egret]

that was covid on a game that took segnificantly longer to develop

[patent vector]

hunting down hells high councel

[frail bloom]

I don't want 10 min levels that turn into an hr just by exploration

[harsh egret]

they wont do that

[frail bloom]

Kathrual marshes

[warm ibex]

tbf that's how parts of the main campaign are and it works decently well

[frail bloom]

I can't spell that for my life

[harsh egret]

kar'thuul

fuck, its one U

[frail bloom]

Ye but do you consider it a level really

[green estuary]

nah

[warm ibex]

I can run Siege pt.2 in around six minutes casually if I don't stop and look around

[green estuary]

siege is an hour long level but a lot of that is combat

[frail bloom]

Minimum 20 min at least

[solar cairn]

The more content, the better, then 5 years to wait for a new game

[frail bloom]

Anything below that is just weird

[green estuary]

part 2 sure
I was moreso referring to part 1

[frail bloom]

Except if it's like a starter level

[green estuary]

but sure you can speedrun anything

[harsh egret]

what proper level takes less than that on a first run where u dont just speedrun it for no reason

[green estuary]

barrier core, maybe

but even that probably not

[harsh egret]

proper level

thats not a proper level

[warm ibex]

I didn't necessarily mean speedrunning, I just meant a straight combat-focused playthrough of Siege 2. No secret hunting or back tracking can lower its run time significantly

[frail bloom]

I want proper levels only

[solar spoke]

Yeah, Siege pt 1 is pretty long. First time I played it took about roughly an hour to complete. Probably my favourite level

[green estuary]

mech levels are proper levels 🤬

[frail bloom]

No 6 or 7 min levels

Hellbreaker is like weird

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

Idk it's weird to go from an hr to 10 min

I don't have to speedrun siege takes me like 30 min

And that's good

And then Kathural marshes is like 7 min

[warm ibex]

the first time experience is what matters most imo. It took me about an hour to beat siege 2 the first time

and now six or seven minutes since I don't have secrets to find

once you learn level layouts/enemy spawns and don't have bonus stuff to look for it becomes a lot shorter

[frail bloom]

Ye but I would like their next levels to be at least 20 min long no exploration. Bc that means more for me

That would be awesome

[warm ibex]

I mean I want that for sure, would be awesome

[solar spoke]

It's Doom, there's gonna be at least some exploration for collectibles

[frail bloom]

I know

[green estuary]

I mean you look at something like uac atlantica or the blood swamps
even with no exploration those levels are very long

[frail bloom]

But

[warm ibex]

that's true too

[frail bloom]

Ye I want smt like that

[warm ibex]

I don't expect them to be as daunting as Atlantica or Swamps though

[frail bloom]

Hugo said they won't

So the levels themselves need to carry not just the combat

[solar cairn]

I don’t know, I like the same siege part 1 madly, you kill demons until they run out

[green estuary]

fuck

[frail bloom]

What it won't be super ball busting

He said they'll be the best combat encounters in dark ages tho

[solar spoke]

yeah, new DLC probably won't be anywhere near as hellish as Blood Swamps pre-adjustment

[green estuary]

blood swamps was never thaaat bad

[frail bloom]

C'mon this is a story expansion not a master level

[green estuary]

I just want something of similar difficulty

[warm ibex]

it was exhausting though

[solar spoke]

I still expect that possessed baron sometimes

[frail bloom]

Well consider this, you're good at the game

[green estuary]

it was never anywhere near some of the master levels we got

[harsh egret]

Blood swamps is one of my fav eternal levels

[frail bloom]

You're not a casual

I heard some casuals spend literal hrs on one level

Like isn't that exhausting

[green estuary]

then casuals need to lower the difficulty
my first time playing tag1, I dropped my ego and lowered the difficulty to UV

then once I finished it, I went back up to nightmare, and boy am I glad I didn't rush in on nightmare right off the bat

[warm ibex]

Playing through the entirety of TAG in one go felt like a marathon, which isn't how a campaign expansion should feel imo

[frail bloom]

I mean you are right sorta

[green estuary]

that was more because each individual level was so damn long, not because everything was really hard

[warm ibex]

I mean it was definitely both. difficulty plus length

[green estuary]

if they broke it up into slightly smaller levels but had more of them then it would have been more manageable

[frail bloom]

All I know is that dark ages should pick up where the campaign ended

[warm ibex]

length had more to do with it, but increased difficulty was a factor

[green estuary]

sure
the fucking boxes still kick my ass for no reason at all

[frail bloom]

In difficulty

So it's gonna be considerably hard

As long as there is no beserk

That just makes arenas free

[warm ibex]

I usually stop playing at the boxes 💀 not a fun fight imo

[frail bloom]

I killed a komodo and cyberdemon with beserk in 5 sec I wanted to fight them for reals

[green estuary]

definitely needs to be harder than belly of the beast and resurrection
those are probably the two hardest levels in the main campaign rn

[harsh egret]

If ur on console i can imagine

[green estuary]

same I don't even bother anymore

[frail bloom]

Ye so they should be harder especially with new enemies

[solar cairn]

In TGA, small arenas with traps also cause pain, cringe straight

[green estuary]

yeah it's the stuff that's not supposed to be that difficult that kills me for some reason

[frail bloom]

Ye it's doo doo on console

Not really hard it's just boring

Meathook then ballista rinse and repeat

[green estuary]

shit I'm on pc and I'm still ass at it

[harsh egret]

I dont dislike it necessarily

[frail bloom]

Now Samur

Kill me

[green estuary]

I unironically find samur easier than the boxes

[harsh egret]

That boss fight is mid asf

[frail bloom]

You're crazy

You just are

You fight like 4 possesed demons total plus annoying ass eyeball aoe's and blood maykers

Like how

[green estuary]

first 3 phases aren't so bad
fourth phase is tricky, and fifth phase you just empty the unmaykr into the pain elemental and triple rocket the dreadknight to death (in theory)

[harsh egret]

The arena layout is just horrid

To me thats the issue

[cedar ingot]

who would win

[frail bloom]

At least I passed it on UN

Never again

[green estuary]

damn good job

couldn't be me lmao

[harsh egret]

I couldn't be bothered

[frail bloom]

I had to practice the holt 8 times straight

[frail bloom]

And I never watched dragonball

[green estuary]

we don't want to hear powerscaling nonsense

[frail bloom]

But like idc

[lament lotus]

TDA is the only Doom game I even attempted UN on. Unless you count 2016's Nightmare mode.

[harsh egret]

U don't

[cedar ingot]

doomslayer dies to one above all easy

[patent vector]

@cedar ingot shitty ragebait

[green estuary]

2016 I never even considered it because I'm ass at platforming
eternal feels possible but I just lose focus too often
TDA is probably the most possible just because you're the most in-control of your circumstances

although it is still extremely long so there's that

[cedar ingot]

one punch man kill doomslayer easy no effort

[patent vector]

awful ragebait

usually ill smirk or smth

this ius next level dogshit

[cedar ingot]

doomslayer smells a dog fart then explodes in gore and dies,easy neg diffed

[patent vector]

retire

[cedar ingot]

doomslayer got neg diffed by dog farts

[lament lotus]

TDA is definitely where I feel like I have the most competence at higher level play, meanwhile I'm way more casual when playing 2016 and Eternal makes my hands cramp if I try quick swapping.

[green estuary]

yeah it just seemed to click a bit more

[lament lotus]

Quick and snappy isn't always my strength; I much prefer more deliberate and predictable gameplay.

"Predictable" as in there's a tell as to when I need to preform X action.

[midnight kayak]

cool

[hearty edge]

I'd say belly of the beast is the hardest

I'd say the first level or at least the start should be around that difficulty or a tad bit harder

[hearty edge]

it took me 3 hours 💀

but on a second playtrough all of those long levels took me around 40-60 minutes

especially bc I have ocd and need to collect each and every piece of gold

[hearty edge]

berserk dreadmace goes wild

[hearty edge]

that's obvious

the slayer just has the power of an almost god

the one above all is just literally god

[daring terrace]

Finally got the BFC

Took forever

Hate the hunters and the giant lizards

[solar cairn]

On my difficulty, the siege has already started to cause a lot of problems

[cedar ingot]

do you think doomslayer have infinite speed and is invincible

[mystic barn]

It’s 4/4 with occasional bars of 2/4. The secondary chorus can really throw you off because the beats aren’t falling where you would anticipate them. It’s not 12/8 because it’s not composed in rolling triplets. If it was, it would sound like BFG Division

[hearty edge]

no

[warm ibex]

What's with the paper clip fella pfp?

tons of people in my comments have them and I don't know where it came from, makes it really hard to tell some of you apart lol

[fervent maple]

It's a form of protest against YouTube's new AI and ID policies/implementations

[mystic barn]

Hahahah, that's fair lol. It's a bit like the Anonymous masks from V for Vendetta. It's a visual statement to say that we don't stand for YouTube's new policies and practices

[fervent maple]

I believe it was started by Louis Rossman

It extends to more than just YT, but that's the main platform I believe

[warm ibex]

oh hell yeah

keep that shit up then

it would be easier to tell some of you guys apart if there weren't so many "Doom_Slayer_666" accounts lol

[mystic barn]

I've never heard something so valid in my entire life holy shit

What in God's name

[proud python]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-gif-27442765

omg

is that the real doom slayer

[hearty edge]

who

[dreamy kiln]

There's thousands of those here, it would take years to figure out which one is the real one

[spring panther]

And that real Doom slayer would be the owner of this whole server

And his username is a horror character XDD

[dreamy kiln]

I don't even know who the owner is, the highest role I've seen was head admin

[spring panther]

Just look at members, hes the administrator

[dreamy kiln]

I'll look

[dreamy kiln]

Can't find anything on who the owner is, but I just know ghostfaced_ is the head admin

[spring panther]

Yup, that’s who I’m talking about

You got it, I guess I just git different names on my end

[dreamy kiln]

YO, I FOUND OUT WHO THE OWNER IS

[spring panther]

W H O

[dreamy kiln]

[spring panther]

Hell yea

[deft chasm]

Shame we can't send images

😭

[summer frigate]

I’m very proud of my profile picture.

[warm ibex]

Did you edit the smile or just the eyes?

[hearty edge]

blud hasn't spoken since 2016 😭

2 whole ahh games and dlcs

[warm ibex]

seems like they changed accounts

[spiral crow]

Anyone encountered a bug whenever you're in a new level in a new save file the resources tab tells you that you collected all the gold and rubies but you haven't actually done that, anyone?

Where can i report this bug?

[summer frigate]

Nope. Just captured the pic of the slayer HUD face when you get berserk. It appears randomly

[random sand]

I've seen it too. But i just knew it was bugged and ignored it

[drowsy venture]

what's some good levels for cycler mastery farming? (having it arc) mine just stopped arcing it seems like even when it seems that it should, like just dumping into imp stalker or arachnotron, but somehow still doesn't jump

[half marlin]

I did it it on hebeth by putting pinky leader in glory kill state and shooting him non-stop

cuz leaders just never recover from glory kill state

if it isn't fixed by now

[solar spoke]

Did I miss the clone wars or something?

[brisk rock]

My melee expert achievement is still bugged. Did xbox get the patch or is there som type of work around i can do?

[dreamy kiln]

Fr

[cedar elbow]

is there any way i can launch the game without ray tracing?

[dreamy kiln]

Not that I know of, dw I have the same issue, for some reason it just has forced ray tracing

[cedar elbow]

i see people saying u can run it as administrator through the files but i get an error

[dreamy kiln]

I don't usually mess around with my files so that's probably why I don't know that method

[cedar elbow]

so theres no workaround? are they planning to make it playable without raytracing at some point or nah?

[dreamy kiln]

Not that I know of no, dw I want it as much as you do, I haven't been able to play the game since launch because of my laptop

[cedar elbow]

damn that sucks

[naive wigeon]

it used to be for lower vram gpus until they patched it

[heady drift]

wow the impaler is really good when you get headshots

[heady drift]

also i just learned you can hold down r to slow time during shield throw

[solar spoke]

No, Ray tracing is entrenched into the development cycle of the game. They'd have to effectively remake it to do that.

[green estuary]

Yeah, it deals around double damage with headshots

[solar cairn]

Buy 5070,5080

[grim cloud]

ray tracing here to stay, esp when it makes development time on new games sig faster

i remember having to buy a new computer with almost every leap back in the late 90s/early00's

[bold quiver]

dark ages modding when 🤨

[green estuary]

Bruh just look it up on nexus

[grim cloud]

probably not till a year after DLC if i had to guess

[green estuary]

No level mods have come out yet but there’s stuff there

[grim cloud]

im referring to idstudio

[green estuary]

Oh

Yeah official mods are a looong way away

[merry sapphire]

the game has no baked lighting. turning off ray tracing would just show you a dark ass room with no lights

[frail bloom]

Ye so if you can't afford it don't afford it

Unless you one of those ppl who buy things without any research

And complain when it wasn't what they thought it was

[warm ibex]

the amount of people that did that with TDA is absurd

like what do you mean you bought a next gen AAA game for full price at launch with a rig that can barely handle Eternal and you didn't look at the the specs first

[frail bloom]

Ye I was surprised to see ppl just expect blood magic and not think twice abt the things they do

No logic they just impulse buy

[frail bloom]

What I never knew that!!

Did anyone else know that

[green estuary]

I thought everyone saw it

[frail bloom]

Well you're not everyone

[green estuary]

although I lowk wish they had put his actual 3d face instead of a hologram

[frail bloom]

So no

[frail bloom]

I wouldn't be opposed but the hologram is more in line with a visor

And like, tech

Stuff

[green estuary]

I know
I don't dislike the hologram but it would be more in line with the classic hud

[frail bloom]

Again not opposed

[fierce steeple]

What exactly is the name of the technological medieval style if anyone knows

[dreamy kiln]

I don't think this fits the description all too well, but the first thing that comes to mind for me is steam punk

[frail bloom]

Honestly I don't know anything else like it

[fierce steeple]

It’s weird cause it seems unique in a way, some parts of the game have cyberpunk, some have futuristic, some medieval then some of it seems like a mixture

[dreamy kiln]

I get what you mean, I just don't know what style that would be

[fierce steeple]

Another thing that comes to mind (for me at least) is dark fantasy, I feel like a few missions in the game (more specifically the first and second to last one) have a very dark fantasy feel to them

[solar spoke]

It is very Army of Darkness inspired so Dark Sci-Fi Fantasy seems right for TDA

[vale jay]

Yeah

[hearty edge]

def not

[hearty edge]

so that's why the first 2 levels run at 20-30 fps for me

[green estuary]

does this imply that the rest of the levels run worse

[hearty edge]

no they run better

[green estuary]

ah

[hearty edge]

somehow

belly of the beast runs at 60 semi consistently

[green estuary]

damn
for whatever reason the hell levels run slowest for me
average is in the low 60s

you have a 2060?

[hearty edge]

3050

laptop

[green estuary]

I feel like I asked you this before

[hearty edge]

yea

[green estuary]

all the low end rtx gpus just blend together lmao

cuz they're all kinda ass

[hearty edge]

a

[green estuary]

my laptop 4060 isn't much better

[hearty edge]

i'm trying to save to get a good desktop pc

[green estuary]

wouldn't that be the dream

[hearty edge]

yea

[green estuary]

imagine being able to afford a rig with a 4080 super or something 🤤

my whole laptop costs as much as that graphics card

[hearty edge]

wa

[naive wigeon]

are u running the low end config?

[hearty edge]

i put it at the lowest as i could

that doesnt sound like a sentence the more i repeat it

[solar spoke]

Personally I'd recommend going for one of the higher-end AMD cards if you're on a budget but still want to run the game well. I've got an XFX card that runds the game at a pretty consistent 90fps on most levels

[hearty edge]

welp the thing is that I have a laptop so i would also need to buy the whole ahh pc so

[naive wigeon]

download the low end config from nexus mods

[little marlin]

how do u get the shield pfp animation?

[frail bloom]

You don't

[eager wyvern]

I wanted to play Doom DA then my house juice power shut down

Guess it is a sign ?

[frail bloom]

Or you got unlucky

But just to make sure, take a metal pole and yell at the sky

Particulary on a rainy and thunderous day

Lots of lightening

Trust

[cedar ingot]

This is what happens when doomslayer fights a black hole: the mighty badass doomslayer loads his shotgun with his head slightly looking down, while his eyes are looking at the black hole, like a badass, then shoots the black hole with his super shotgun, then he runs around and round very fast like classic doomslayer, and the next thing he knows, time freezes, forever, He died. Executed by the superior black hole

that too lmao

[gilded coral]

so still no turn RTX off option?

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-bob-blob-stare-gif-1160213367645308177

[gilded coral]

bruh i aint tryna play game in 12fps

[green estuary]

you understand the game does not have light maps

so removing ray tracing would leave it with no light sources

[solar cairn]

Hugo, I beg you, give me at least one master level, I’m already depressed

[gilded coral]

still better than waiting 7business day till switch to next frame

[green estuary]

bro no light sources means you can't see anything 😂

[gilded coral]

or atleast extra low graphics or sum

[green estuary]

lowest graphics presets already removes ray tracing for reflections iirc anyway

[gilded coral]

better than unmovable

[green estuary]

dawg
the whole screen will literally be black

I don't think you understand

this game will never have a non-RT version
it simply doesn't work like that
