[gilded coral]

helen keller mod sound fire

idk maybe i should buy 5080 or sum

[green estuary]

my laptop 4060 runs it at a very smooth 60-70 fps

[gilded coral]

fr?

[green estuary]

yes

1080p obviously

[solar cairn]

Good idea, you can feel the path tracing, I have a slideshow with it

[green estuary]

you don't need amazing hardware, just halfway decent suffices

[gilded coral]

i was using 1080ti for EON and i bought 2070super just for play Doom TDA but it wasnt good idea ig

[green estuary]

2070 super shouldn't run it too badly tbh

iirc it's roughly comparable to a normal 4060

not sure what's up with your card though

[meager vortex]

bruh

12fps kidding right?

you using potato pc or made by junk pc?

[uneven mortar]

Yarr!! I'll make ya walk the plank!!

[naive wigeon]

not really, but there are a lot of areas where the lighting is pitch black

the rt used to be locked if ur gpu was 6-4gb vram

but it got patched and now every gpu has raytracing on

[gilded coral]

6-17 or sum 30 if lucky

[heady drift]

it's the fps in your heart that counts

[naive wigeon]

fr

i beat the game on a 2050

[gilded coral]

so if i hit cocaine i will get better fps?

[uneven mortar]

Wait I just realized gargoyles arent in doom dark ages wtf

Literally a medieval themed demon what the hell were they thinking leaving them out

[warm ibex]

we'll see them in the dlc, trust the process

[fervent maple]

Spectres and gargoyles please mr huge martini

I want a super heavy gargoyle

Literally the exact same as in eternal but it's unbelievably beefy for no reason

[surreal mango]

Bro

[barren warren]

what about a flying baalgar

or even better, a flying cosmic baalgar

[meager vortex]

ripatorium2.0 is coming? newgame+ coming?

[maiden onyx]

I wonder if we’ll see cyberdemons that can fly coz azzy ain’t around to clip their wings anymore

[meager vortex]

cyber demons they are half metal half demons

they can't fly

[north spire]

i saw that someone made a mod for Doom Eternal that adds the scrapped classic design from that one piece of Dark Ages concept art as a skin

thats pretty cool, i love that concept design :)

[alpine pilot]

Where

[grizzled thicket]

Doom is here

[north spire]

It’s on the Mod page

https://mods.bethesda.net/en/doometernal/details/c84aa201-2e8e-4b50-a78f-0756ee466898/DOOM_TDA_Classic_Sentinel

#the-dark-ages message

[long heath]

i just realized the carcass isnt in doom tda

it would have been so cool if it was

[uneven mortar]

Serrat is half metal and he can fly

Planes are almost all metal

[upbeat junco]

Wasn't it specified in cyberdemon's codex entry why it cannot fly lmao

Nvm i didnt read up

Reading is overrated anyway

[solar spoke]

tbf, nearly every demon with a fence attack is a carcass in a way lol

[silver pawn]

The game never been optimized for non-rt players. I don't want to spend for more gpus.

Unlike Eternal's where 'Ray Tracing" is togglable.

[dreamy kiln]

That's why I can't play, and I have the void skin from when I pre ordered it and I can't even try it out

[meager vortex]

cyber demon is not dragon bruh

[uneven mortar]

Cyber demons literally have wings that azhrak needed to clip, why wouldn't they be able to fly naturally??

[meager vortex]

because doom slayer rip and teared

easy right?

dark age demons they fucked up by slayer hell is fucked

that is why doom 2016 hell is ruined

dark ages demonic leaders they are all dead

[green estuary]

Well at some point you gotta accept that you can’t run modern triple A titles with nearly decade old hardware

And it’s not like the technical requirements are even that high, especially compared to the shitstorm that is modern unoptimized games

[harsh egret]

funnily enough many games coming out nowadays, even without RT, run worse than tda

[green estuary]

exactly

[solid nacelle]

It's that damn unreal engine 5 I tell ya

[meager vortex]

guys what if doom3 doom guy change doom slayer?

doom3 doom guy he just gone and doom slayer hunting the demons doom3

[silver pawn]

Well, I was trying to run tda on laptop. intel iris xe.

[meager vortex]

hell portal open demons invasion started uac facility but another portal open doom slayer come

doom 2016 ending samur maykr he teleport doom slayer another dimension right? what if he teleported doom3 dimension?

[harsh egret]

Emerson Tung dropped some more early demon concepts today #artwork message

@frail bloom ^

[upbeat junco]

Nothing ever stopped me

Eternal gaming with 750 Ti

30 fps on a good day

5 fps whenever an ice bomb popped

i remember discord vc cutting off whenever i started the game, it was either vc with the homies or gaming

Fun times ngl

[green estuary]

Well the 750ti released, what 6 years before eternal?
It’s not like TDA runs any worse than that on a 2050 or something lmao

[merry sapphire]

its not even a demon its like a creature that came from argent dnur originally right

[uneven mortar]

Do you guys think the NG+ will introduce harder demons earlier? Like cosmic barons in level 1?

[green estuary]

you're starting with your full loadout, so I can't imagine that it won't

although that's assuming we actually get an NG+ mode and not just some master levels

[uneven mortar]

I really hope that NG+ comes out and it comes soon

I would literally replay it over and over like I did with dead space 2's on my 360

I will be super bummed if it's just master levels because I found those a bit too hard anyway

[green estuary]

if we got a bunch of ng+/master levels that are between SGN and TN master level difficulty I would be so happy

[warm ibex]

kinda have a feeling it'll all come out in one go

which is a little unfortunate, was hoping to get master level drops for a while

[uneven mortar]

tbh I would play it and feel bummed it's not all there if they dropped bit by bit

And I'd forget how to play between each time

It would be hardcore if there was an option to play NG+ while needing to acquire weapons normally

[green estuary]

classic mode in TDA would go so hard

now I dunno if I want a NG+ mode or just a bunch of master levels

[uneven mortar]

I generally think the game lacking a way to turn off certain weapons and upgrades after beating the game was a massive missed opportunity

[green estuary]

was it?

[uneven mortar]

Yes

It would have made challenge runs much more easy and interesting to come up with

[green estuary]

idk removing upgrades doesn't really do much for me
and if you want to do a no-upgrade run or a challenge run you can just do it from the start

the only thing removing upgrades from weapons would do is make you able to do a challenge run with your full health/armor

which kinda defeats the point of a challenge run

[uneven mortar]

I guess so, but what if you want to just beat it from the start with base grenade launcher

You'd have to beat the whole campaign without upgrading it and then start a new game

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/jontron-why-would-you-do-that-gif-11127841

[fervent maple]

Dark Ages classic mode roguelike

Start with a random weapon, find the rest of your arsenal as you go

[uneven mortar]

Yes!

[green estuary]

great, minus the random start weapon

[uneven mortar]

Or just spin a wheel and you can only use 1, 2 or 3 random weapons for the whole level/playthrough

[fervent maple]

Eternal horde mode but good

[solar spoke]

so like Classic mode for the master levels in Eternal?

[fervent maple]

Yerp

[vivid light]

Got through siege p2 on UN now

As long as I play safe it should be easy to do UN. Haven't really struggled at all

Also the flail is awful

[green estuary]

yep

also good job

default sliders?

[vivid light]

Yeah

I don't want the * on my playthrough if I screenshot it

[green estuary]

real

[vivid light]

Has anyone tried (all sliders on hardest) but game speed at like the lowest?

[vivid light]

Unbearable suffering sliders

[green estuary]

might actually be easier than default
just because you get so much time to react

[solar spoke]

sounds like it's be perfect for Dark Ages

[vivid light]

Well it'd definitely be easier than 150% game speed. But like the ohko protection only goes at 70+ health so if you get 2 projectiles hitting you even once, you're dead

So slow suffering instead of fast suffering

[warm ibex]

it looks cool though

aura farming melee choice

[green estuary]

it's just a skill statement

[warm ibex]

it's an aura statement if anything

[green estuary]

"I can choose the objectively worst melee weapon in the game and still kick ass"

[warm ibex]

slayer slow walking and dragging that thing on the ground

https://tenor.com/view/doom-the-dark-ages-gif-12400909152392766027

[fervent maple]

It would have been great as the first melee option and not unceremoniously given six levels in

[warm ibex]

I still use it

But I also don't play the game more than once a month

[fervent maple]

There's been times where I've wanted it over the gauntlet but my playstyle just doesn't accommodate it

[fervent maple]

How dare you not be hyper fixated on a video game you enjoy? Are you really a gamer?

[warm ibex]

lmao

I think the flail feels the best to use out of the three even if it's objectively weaker and I don't really need the benefit of a solid melee weapon when capturing gameplay for vids on UV

I'd like to switch to Gauntlets but that takes a little learning, so I'll get around to it another time

[fervent maple]

Yeah I getcha

I love the rhythm the Gauntlet has, it feels great to beat a cyberdemon so hard you start flying lmao

[cunning slate]

You mean armor farming?

[green estuary]

yeah it doesn't have the ridiculous windup of the mace but it's got longer reach than the gauntlets

[fervent maple]

I wish the mace was a big ass bone sword

I want my guts dragonslayer in a doom game please

[warm ibex]

no lol

[warm ibex]

beating shit to death looks fun I won't lie lmao

[warm ibex]

has some nice feedback too, flail smacks feel nice

and it's not like there's zero redeeming qualities either, it's just the weaker option overall. Breaks enemy armor very well and returns armor too (which practically nothing else does)

I know the combat relies a little more on environmental pickups this time but I still don't get why they went from having an instant shoulder-mounted armor boost in Eternal to limiting armor regen to the CSG, flail and ground fissure in TDA

[frail bloom]

Holy crap ye

It looks like they were gonna do a firborne baron again at some point

And there's a demon with an electric guitar that's a little silly

My fav is the vagary faces

[harsh egret]

i wouldnt put too much thought into it

[frail bloom]

Well idc abt fireborne barons

I'm just saying it looks like one

[harsh egret]

its just early stuff for this game, but there seems to be a bunch of these like really gritty and heavy wibe about some of the early conceps that i rly like and hope they make a game like that

like those revenant concepts

[frail bloom]

I love the vagary face on the bottom left

I like the humanoid look

We don't really fight big humanoids in doom do we

The face reminds me of shin godzilla

https://tenor.com/view/shin-godzilla-gif-14988915202826594099

No it looks like this thing

https://tenor.com/view/clownscarymonsterti̇tanattack-on-ti̇tan-clown-scary-monster-attack-on-titan-gif-7595186160423931321

Honestly if I saw this I'd actually just run away

Like in doom

[torpid lynx]

YO I WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME

[celest sun]

What else do you play then?

[celest sun]

She would die.... braver than others....

[frail bloom]

Who you talking abt

[celest sun]

The giant beast thing

[frail bloom]

Ngl you go man

I'm staying back

Too creeped out

They should make a scary demon design so it feels better killing it

Make it unpredictable

[vivid light]

I don't use it because I like playing up close and personal and the flail just doesn't fit in that kit

It's not like.... Useful if you're brawling

Ssg already does pretty good damage on armour

Why would I pick the flail when I can go for shock gauntlets in early game and dreadmace later?

[torpid lynx]

everyone just wants to talk to HORDE

[vivid light]

They really just need to buff the flail if anything

Like double its armour regen or something

[ionic rock]

Anyone else getting progression issues? The siege part 1 gave me a few when I started the level and already have several collectibles filled out on the map screen, and when the vagary near the portal died, even after loading a checkpoint, the barrier wouldn’t go down…not sure if this is a good channel for bug discussion.

[random owl]

We should be getting a DLC announcement in the next month or so

[frail bloom]

I'd say december

And possibly a release in february

[random owl]

random question but are you syrian

[wintry forge]

I’d assume it’ll release within one year of TDA’s launch date ^

[torpid lynx]

I am Lebanese

[random owl]

eternal was 7 months

[random owl]

oh nice

my coworker im working with now is lebanese

hopefully there's 2 DLCs, but there's no way they can connect it to doom 2016's start

nvm they technically can but it's unlikely

[wintry forge]

Eternal had 2 smaller dlc’s. The second one released 2 days before Eternal’s 1 year anniversary. TDA will have only one, but a larger DLC

[random owl]

confirmed just one?

[wintry forge]

Unfortunately yes. But at least it’ll be a larger one, so that’ll compensate for it

[harsh egret]

hugo misspoke once and said "dlcs" but josh corrected him saying its one dlc

[random owl]

np it's all the same if its bigger

but that means they cant connect it to 2016

[wintry forge]

They said they won’t, they don’t want to close the chapter in the prequel era yet. Softly confirming the opportunity for another full prequel game

[random owl]

actually i'd prefer if they just dedicated the next game to how the civil war lead to being trapped in hell and how he got his praetor suit before his long sleep

thats one of the biggest parts of the lore and a dlc wouldn't do it justice

[merry sapphire]

awfully amazing for ultra nightmare

[wintry forge]

Completely agree. I’m sure we’ll see some stuff alluding to it. But they won’t close those stories yet

[random owl]

yeah theres a lot to draw from

[merry sapphire]

its what i used right before maining the dreadmace

[wintry forge]

Ditto on that

[merry sapphire]

?

[wintry forge]

Used the flail before maining Dreadmace, the peak melee weapon

[merry sapphire]

yeah the dreadmace is insane

[random owl]

i stuck to mace the second i got it, and it's the canon weapon

[merry sapphire]

or was insane atleast, heard it got nerfed last update

glad i used that shit before the update for ultra nightmare

[wintry forge]

I think all are the canon weapons 😂

[merry sapphire]

what does that even mean LMAO

[random owl]

true lol i should've said it's the main weapon which you see on all the covers

[wintry forge]

Well it’s still goated. Especially with the second charge

[merry sapphire]

thats the flail lmao

[random owl]

wait what

[merry sapphire]

is there even a cover art or any art of the slayer holding the dreadmace?

[merry sapphire]

yeah

[random owl]

no

[merry sapphire]

fym no 😭

[random owl]

not that i know of

answering your quetion

i thought the dreadmace was the cover weapon because a mace means a spiked ball lol

[merry sapphire]

wait just to make sure

you know the difference betwean a mace and a flail right

flail is the chain with the spiky ball

[random owl]

yeah but a mace is a wweapon ball with spikes

[merry sapphire]

thats always in every cover art

[merry sapphire]

where is the ball

[random owl]

like the weapon itself, a mace, is a spiked ball weapon

thats why i got it confused

[merry sapphire]

its not even a ball its a cylinder shape

[random owl]

im saying in real life

[merry sapphire]

yeah

arent they usually cylinder

is there even a mace with a ball end

[random owl]

no if you google image "mace" you'll see doomnguys cover weapon you

[merry sapphire]

you're thinking of a morning star

[merry sapphire]

if you google mace youll see multiple weapons of different verity it doesnt really show you an actual mace sometimes

[random owl]

you're right i guess there's different types and the spiked ball is just one of them

[warm ibex]

Samir actually seems to be right! It's stated that the Cosmic Baron was originally a Cosmic Soldier but morphed into the Baron during development, so Emerson's sketches are likely the original version prior to the change in direction

[frail bloom]

Yup

[warm ibex]

nothing usually

[frail bloom]

Would be cool if we had the two variants

It's just how could they have worked differently

They both slam the ground

They both swipe and throw projectiles

Maybe the fireborne has an aoe fireball

[warm ibex]

The ground could slam the normal baron

there we go, first enemy to fight the environment more than the player

[frail bloom]

Uh

Wait, tjr ground coupd slam the normal baron

Am I having a brain fart

[warm ibex]

the normal baron spawns and every other demon in the arena and the arena itself beat it to death

[frail bloom]

Oh so I did read it right

I mean

Why not

https://tenor.com/view/zxcvbnm-gang-gangster-fight-rumble-riot-gif-16799854

[warm ibex]

that actually would be kinda funny

most intense arena in the game, they spawn a random new enemy that every demon immediately rushes to

enemy is never seen again

[frail bloom]

That would make a cool visual

It's like a very slow enemy that if it hits another enemy all the others tear it apart

Cuz y'know it's clumsy and stupid

Or it's fast and deliberate but if it messes up that's raps

I'd lean on the latter since if all the enemies had to kill one giant enemy that could break an encounter

Better if it's more a short distraction

Hey that could be the gargoyle

[half marlin]

tbh kaibz mod makes the flail actually good if u enable quick melee swap

like u have gauntlet equipped but suddenly armored enemy spawns in and you can equip the flail to quickly destroy it and then switch back to gauntlet

[green estuary]

not really
you lose melee charges every time you swap

[half marlin]

no

u can keep em

[green estuary]

yeah I suppose if you keep melee charges you can

but that's also kinda just cheesing

having full gauntlet, flail, and dreadmace charges at the same time is not really balanced nor is it how the game was meant to be played

[half marlin]

i mean i tried without keeping charges
and it's useless lol
cuz even if you parry or use impaler to charge flail up, the armored guy is probably already dead when you charge it up

[half marlin]

if it's fun it's fun
it's not that game breaking
afaik the mod saves melee charges like that: 1 gauntlet charge = 0.7 flail or 0.3 dreadmace charge? or something like that

hadn't test it cuz i don't use dreadmace and don't switch too often lol
i mostly use gauntlet anyway

[half marlin]

but this really helps especially against vagary

[celest sun]

You dont play any other games? 😅

[foggy breach]

Life is Doom 🙏

[frail bloom]

Horde plays roblox games like "steal a brainrot" but doesn't tell anyone

Trust

https://tenor.com/view/dance-astro5ktv-jiggy-kid-dancing-dancing-gif-7035741948717869380

[frail bloom]

Are you sure it isn't that game breaking I'm sure it'll really change how the game is played for the worse

It's not meant to really be like that

[frail bloom]

No wouldn't they be tied to eachother

So if you use one gauntlet punch you can't use the mace cuz it's not at full charge anymore

There's three different types of how they could go abt this:
1: Reset melee charge after every swap
-basically any melee swaps you do resets the charge of all melee
2: Contain melee charges but tie them together
-how much gauntlet charges will affect how much flail charges which will affect how much mace charges and these all affect the other, i.e. using the 1/3 flail swipes will result in 2/3 gauntlet charges
3: Contain each seperate melee and their charges
-basically the really broken option that would break the game

Which one should the game have

I know, respond to this with emojis as a sorta poll. For choice 1 , for choice 2 , for choice 3

[warm ibex]

not anymore lol. I've got a handful of games I'd like to play through but I'm a little too busy to start anything at the moment. I play TDA for gameplay and that's really just about it

[half marlin]

why

[frail bloom]

I'm tired so I'll have someone else explain it
@green estuary

Thanks

[half marlin]

it's actually the 2nd option you talked about above

[frail bloom]

Well now I'm thinking abt it

[half marlin]

i mean, in the mod

[frail bloom]

Not sure if yes or no

No one reacted to the poll I'm devastated

[long heath]

guys i have one problem, in one of the early arenas of the level city of ryuul, the enemies arent spwaning

is this a bug or something

[rustic elk]

Any news on the campaign DLC?

[solar spoke]

They're making it. That's pretty much all Hugo said about it last week lol

[rustic elk]

Ah, thanks, didn't make it to the last few due to it being late at night for me

[solar spoke]

yeah, all we can do is speculate until they officially announce it

[frail bloom]

We gonna be speculating for months

So buckle up

At best we get some dlc snippets like in august

[frail bloom]

Ye looking forward to the stream in two days

I hope they say some more cool stuff

And maybe show some cool stuff

[long heath]

im hoping for a new melee weapon in the new dlc

i was kinda dissapointed with the flail

[green estuary]

yeah that seems like a no brainer

[long heath]

or maybe a new shield rune

[green estuary]

they gave us support runes in eternal so that wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility

[frail bloom]

Cuz I'm bored I'm listing expectations

I want...

1. 5 or above new unique enemies:
   -Classic archvile
   -Pain elemental(d64 and/or cosmic)
   -Gargoyle
   -idc
   -idc
2. 6 or more levels that are 30 min minimum
3. New weapons
   -New melee weapon
   -New shield rune
   -New Gun
4. Better story
5. Better enviroments
6. Better music(I said better doesn't mean what's there is bad it's awesome but I said better)
7. 2 new bosses

[solid nacelle]

I'm personally hoping for 8 levels so it rounds out to a nice 30 total

[frail bloom]

8 seems fair ye

It's just that hugo thought 11 was crazy

So I'm trying to guess the sweet spot of what they feel like they should make

[solid nacelle]

An entire half a campaign length is a little nuts

[frail bloom]

Ye so I guess 7 or 8 seems likely

But I'm fine with 6

Wait I forgot to mention another thing

[solid nacelle]

Probably gonna be at least 1 mech level

[frail bloom]

2 new bosses

I want 2

[solid nacelle]

Mid boss and final boss

[frail bloom]

I personally believe there won't be any

[frail bloom]

Ye so one halfway through and one on the final level

[solid nacelle]

I wouldn't say no to no mech levels

[frail bloom]

Seems very fair

[frail bloom]

It's just their reception

[solid nacelle]

Yeah

[frail bloom]

So maybe ID is going to stray away from gimmicky segments

And just focus on pure slayer combat

Idk maybe add new mechanics

[solid nacelle]

It's one of those moments where it's not about whether or not you CAN do it, but whether or not you SHOULD

Clearly, they should not have

[frail bloom]

Ye even tho they're kinda fun and look really godamn cool

But from now on I don't want any mech or dragon sections

Instead tie in a gimmicky mechanic or segment with your slayer combat

Make it a power up or smt

Not berserk

[solid nacelle]

At least it's impossible to get any more dragon segments now

[frail bloom]

Haha

W

[solid nacelle]

W Azhrak

[frail bloom]

Ye W asscrack

[slow zodiac]

"somehow Serrat returned"

[exotic jetty]

Cheese

[exotic jetty]

Scuse me what the actual fuck twin😭😭

[foggy breach]

blasphemy

[barren warren]

watch them replace dragon segments in the dlc with one of those wacky ass sentinel flying boats

[hearty edge]

no please no pain elemental

i'd die

i do really want a classic arch vile tho

[warm ibex]

it was confirmed during the last dev stream that dragon segments will be replaced by hugo segments, where you take control of hugo martin and direct the next doom game

[green estuary]

where's the racecar hugo emoji when you need it

[barren warren]

dodge demon attacks to build up an attack meter that allows you to nerf the super shotgun

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/hugo-martin-doom-eternal-dark-ages-happy-yay-gif-13218051490774665565

[barren warren]

dodging 5 attacks in a row supercharges your next attack, allowing you to summon purple goo with tentacles

[keen notch]

Yall im having an issue. I think my game keeps thinking everything is the ripatorium. Im trying to replay a level (it happens on any level but in specific it’s the last level) and it keeps the jukebox feature on, the pause screen says restart encounter and not restart from checkpoint, and I believe it’s interfering with my ability to kill the cyberdemon leader towards the end. He goes into glory kill state and I can keep punching him without cost but it never goes into the animation and I’m soft locked. I’ve restarted the game like 4 times and it still busted. I’m on series x btw. Anyone else run into this?

[brave spoke]

With how parrying works theyd probably give it a parry attack

So it wouldnt be that bad

[drowsy venture]

what are some good levels or spots to grind the cycler arcing mastery challenge?? when I was playing the long spire level to let out the Cthulhu guy part way through it decided to basically almost never arc

[remote canopy]

I'm quite late but the parts where there is atleast one imp stalker/heavy and a lot of fodders is the best place

[remote canopy]

You never know,the slayer might tame another one

[drowsy venture]

any recs what level? I'm still doing a little bit of Halo rn, when I asked the other night someone said hebeth pinky leader due to how leaders are with final stunnings or something but sounded like a possible exploit that could be patched or something possibly

[warm ibex]

I've seen others with the same issue and I've personally run into the unkillable leader bug, although the two may not be exclusively related. I would suggest submitting a ticket at help.bethesda.net so they can take note

I'll try to get back to you asap if I hear of a fix

[random sand]

Doubt it. He uses one in the ancient gods and is very dismissive against it. Showing there was only one dragon he cared about

[vivid light]

I wonder if Serrat is male or female

[drowsy venture]

male codex says "Serrat continues HIS role as the Slayer's ultimate mount"

[cerulean pagoda]

yeah, i didnt like the dragon segments either

[steep dust]

very sad due to his death but can't deny it is true

[arctic dome]

Has anyone else encountered issues on Pandemonium where after completing a level and going through the recap UI, you're taken back to the main menu and the next level is not unlocked?

I think I've heard someone say it can be avoided: after winning a level, and while in the recap UI, do NOT press continue but instead go back to the main menu yourself - the next level should be unlocked. Can anyone confirm, or does this just further risk losing progress

[keen notch]

I figured I’d shut it down for the night since it was getting kinda late for me so maybe shutting down the console will fix the issue. If not then I’ll submit a ticket.

If the two things aren’t connected I might submit 2 since the jukebox feature gets rid of the map tab which needless to say is kinda important.

Good to know I’m not alone in this tho.

[vivid light]

I think the ssg bug is still there? Like I can interrupt the reload on the first shot but the third and second have a delay still

[burnt finch]

Yes I had that problem this happened so much and still not fixed if you finished the level dont press continue just exit the main menu and play next level
I'm doing this on also ultra nightmare because I feel like that problem can happen on ultra nightmare

[wheat sigil]

hai

[uneven mortar]

Any thoughts on TDA getting a new game plus

[wheat sigil]

it is? awesome

that pretty much sums up my thoughts lmao

[uneven mortar]

Seems like that's the fill-in for master levels

It's gonna be a way to replay the campaign balanced around endgame gear and skill i think

[wheat sigil]

would be fun with at least some MLs, as i'd expect those to be harder than the ng+

[uneven mortar]

I agree

[arctic dome]

Thank you! Will try this!

Speaks something about how much i find the core gameplay fun. In any other game I would’ve just quit after encountering a progress resetting issue like this.

And I hope id doesn’t get used to this, based on technical issues like this unfortunately don’t see myself buying id games at launch anymore but will have to wait for a few months

[harsh egret]

my theory is that the leaked ng+ things is just a dev name for master level campaign

i could be wrong but it seems more likely than not

Incase anyone missed it. Preorders go live on the 23rd

[kind crater]

thats so sick

[warm ibex]

For clarification it's not just a direct repaint of the previously released Elite Edition figure, which was $60. This will be $35 and comes with less accessories, less paint detail and a molded plastic cape instead of fabric

so a cheaper alternative for those who couldn't afford or couldn't find the default Slayer, with the added bonus of including a free Slayer skin

[harsh egret]

i heard they cancelled a lot of preorders of the elite edition one cuz they sent a lot of their stock to other distributors or smth

im less bummed about not getting that one now lol

[mental grotto]

Another skin locked behind a paywall? Jesus fucking Christ, man

[mental grotto]

Was this ever confirmed or is it just speculation? I think it’d be awesome but don’t wanna get my hopes up too much

[exotic jetty]

Will this be a skin in the game too??

[exotic jetty]

That's a figure you can see the exposed joints

[mental grotto]

“Includes Phalanx Skin Redemption Code.” The phalanx skin was found through datamining a little while back

[exotic jetty]

Oh so it is

[mental grotto]

Buying the figure will get you the skin

[exotic jetty]

I'm most definitely getting the figure

[mental grotto]

At least it’s not a 2,000 dollar paywall lol, still doesn’t feel great

[exotic jetty]

I need a red slayer skin and I need more doom figurines cuz I only have 2 rn

[mental grotto]

I just wish they’d focus on in-game methods of obtaining skins, better for game health imo

[lament lotus]

During my current UN playthrough I forgot how insane max level Gauntlet is and I accidentally deleted the aggadon champion in 20 seconds with it.

[kind crater]

does dark ages not have the events thing like eternal?

[exotic jetty]

Yea I'm hoping that they make reverent and nighare skins for the dragon and atlan that can be obtained by doing endless challenges in the ripatorium

[mental grotto]

Nah not really

[exotic jetty]

No they don't, also nice display name that's funny

[mental grotto]

ass 💔🥀

[exotic jetty]

Yea that happens

[lament lotus]

Nightmare skins for atlan and dragon are unlocked by beating the game on Ultra Nightmare

[exotic jetty]

Wait really I only got the conqueror skins tho? Is i5 new or sumthn??

It*

[lament lotus]

Idk, it's what the wiki told me

[exotic jetty]

I think wiki lied

Cuz I ain't get shit😭

[warm ibex]

As stated before, all limited time collaboration skins will eventually become unlockable to all players

[mental grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/la-roca-roca-xd-meme-gif-14268759491645951177

I did not hear about this

[warm ibex]

Most people probably didn't, it was mentioned once during an earlier dev stream

[mental grotto]

Classic Hugo

[warm ibex]

They're probably not supposed to mention that lol

[torpid lynx]

YO I WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME

[warm ibex]

Exclusive skins help sell promotion items, so announcing that people don't actually have to buy the items to get the skins is counterintuitive

[warm ibex]

thank you corvette man 🙏

[torpid lynx]

np

[mental grotto]

Yeah you know that’s fair

[silent trail]

Dark Ages biggest flaw was making the minimum graphics requirement so high

[neon perch]

They're not that high. Most PC users have a 3060 now.

[green estuary]

dawg

A 6 year old 60 series nvidia card is not a high graphics requirement

[spring hare]

Guys I need help

I've run into the weirdest problem, where can I ask about it?

[green estuary]

I mean it doesn’t hurt to ask it here

[spring hare]

Well basically I think Abyssal Forest has locked me out of 100%

It's at 99% completion, so I thought that I'd go back into it and try and find the missing secret I had. I think I figured out what it was, but in the second major fight in the level, the pinky rider is bugged and is stuck in an invincible daze

So then I thought, I'd just get the secret and leave. I did that and it didn't count, so I don't know what to do now that I can't even play half the level 😭

[solar cairn]

She is 3 years old

[green estuary]

Who is she?
You need a 2060 to run TDA

[green estuary]

Your only solution is probably to just close the game and re enter

Not much else to do

[spring hare]

I shall try :[

It worked! :D

[silent trail]

Sorry, I meant the over all minimum specs.

[green estuary]

I would have thought the graphics card was the biggest deal breaker there, no?
a 10th gen i7 isn't a huge ask, neither is 16 gigs of ram

[silent trail]

My buddies in my discord haven't been able to play because thier pcs don't meet minimum requirements.

[green estuary]

that's just a fairly standard pc build from 6 years ago

[silent trail]

6 years ago was about the time scalpers and crypto miners began to buy out all the graphics cards.

[green estuary]

true
but at the same time, I got a 900 dollar lenovo laptop from frickin costco and it runs the game at consistent 60-70 fps at 1080p medium/high

I understand not everyone is gonna get a deal as good as I got, but people need to stop saying the technical requirements are high when they clearly aren't
and even on hardware on the lower end of that spectrum, the game still runs fantastic

[silent trail]

I guess my buddies haven't upgraded in a while. But you got a laptop that could run it for $900? What kind of laptop?

[green estuary]

lenovo legion

it was on sale tbf, it's over $1k now
but it has 32 gigs of ram, an intel 14900hx, and a 4060

actually it's no longer available, just checked
guess they're not really selling 4060 laptops anymore, hence why it was on sale

[silent surge]

there’s some tracking bugs in the game right now so my UN 100% attempts are on pause. heck. any 100% attempt really.

i’ve reported what i’ve seen and what i’ve come across.

[hearty edge]

that's a steal

[cerulean pagoda]

nightmare in doom TDA is literally a nightmare

i cant count how many times ive died

[exotic jetty]

That explains a lot of questions I have

[silent surge]

im entering into maps with stuff already completed

[exotic jetty]

Huh that is weird

[remote canopy]

I got a acer predator i7-14700hx,rtx 4060 refurbished for 800 usd

800 usd is a lot in my country tho

[thorn gyro]

So on chapter 21 I died to the old one, quit the game (because it was UN) and now when I load into the level Im just on ground instead of being in the atlan

[remote canopy]

If you die on UN you have to restart all over again

[thorn gyro]

I can't fix it?

[remote canopy]

Yea,it's also written when you choose the difficulty that you only have one life

[thorn gyro]

[remote canopy]

Dw you will achieve it

You made it through the difficult arenas of sentinel command station,siege part 2, chapter 21,you can prob do it

[stray urchin]

i have the same thing, I recently completed a UN 100% while majority of the levels already showed progress. When I started forsaken plains, my ground fissure challenge was already completed lol

[silent surge]

hope it’s fixed soon

100% is effectively unplayable (in a regular sense. tracking would be really rough)

[cerulean pagoda]

are there any bugs i should watch out for UN? i might attempt it after i finish normal nightmare

[tribal patrol]

i had a bug where after i died in the atlan when fighting the last boss my game crashed, when i loaded back in i was back in the game but as the slayer and not the atlan

soft locked my whole run, had to start over

[cerulean pagoda]

im on my ps5 i dont think itll crash

or maybe the random pop ups like We encountered an issue with your app count as a crash

[tribal patrol]

i have a playstation as well, and thats what happened to me

[hearty edge]

nah

i feel that it's maybe the easiest nightmare

[exotic jetty]

I like serrat he's a good boi:)

A demon killing good boi

[hearty edge]

2016 imps give me ptsd and eternal is just a harder game

and the classics are fcked those are a real nightmare

[worldly sun]

This may be a hot take but I wish the impaler charge shot worked on super heavy by shield tossing at them, I understand why they removed but now fighting super heavy demons feel so slow since the only combo I can initiate is by a parry.
At least when I could shield throw a super heavy I had something to do in between the parry and that felt pretty active and fun.

[exotic jetty]

Responding enemies faster enemies and lots of pain

Respawning*

[hearty edge]

chaingun sound intensifies

[exotic jetty]

Idk where auto correct got responding

[hearty edge]

actually i feel that tda was great in reviving the chaingunners as the absolute fuckers that they were

damn i want a new pc how am i supposed to beat pandemonium (not even mentioning UN) if the first 3 levels run at like 25 fps

[exotic jetty]

Idk

Pray to the eternal slayer

[static harness]

I’m new

[upbeat junco]

Hi new

[echo sail]

have u updated ur drivers this driver update is just a free frame upgrade

[cerulean pagoda]

its easier than doom eternals nightmare sure but im finding it harder than 2016s nightmare

[green estuary]

it's the most consistently difficult for me, as in it doesn't have the highs nor the lows in difficulty like Eternal and 2016 do
2016's early game is by far the most punishing section of any modern doom game, but its endgame is by far the easiest
meanwhile eternal doesn't have such a general distinction between easy and hard, but most of the campaign isn't too bad with the exception of cultist base, arc complex, and taras nabad (and the gladiator fight I guess)

[cyan mist]

anyone play the dark ages on gamepass? not sure if the ripatorium 2nd update is available yet?

[remote canopy]

I find it easier than eternal or maybe it is that I've grinded eternal too much

[remote canopy]

Not available

[cyan mist]

so the update isnt out yet anywhere then?

[remote canopy]

The hardest part is having the will power to complete the sludge section in exultia

[green estuary]

correct

[remote canopy]

No

[cyan mist]

alrighty thanks

[green estuary]

lmao

[remote canopy]

I feel like sludge section in exultia was forced,like I like it as an environmental hazard but hate it when it's there to just slow u down

[green estuary]

the purple goo in the first big arena of arc complex is done very well, because you have the ability to avoid it and it forces you to stay alert and on the move
but the sections where you literally cannot avoid it are just stupid

slows down the game for zero reason

[remote canopy]

Arc complex imo was extremely easy so it didn't make a difference

You have your full arsenal but super heavies aren't a part of normal combat loop

[delicate grotto]

This, 100%.
Which is why I consider TDA’s Nightmare to be the most challenging. I’ve beaten all 3 on UN and I still think this. Eternal is actually the easiest when you get good at the game due to how easy it is to recuperate resources, imo.

[remote canopy]

Also you're just way too vulnerable to projectiles in doom 2016 and tda

[green estuary]

yeah but at the same time your health/armor/ammo is still neutered
the opening fight and the fight in the restaurant with the berserk are two of the harder arenas in the game imo

and tbh most superheavies don't really make a fight any harder, unless they're marauders or barons

and sometimes tyrants if you're in a cramped arena

[remote canopy]

I just charge up one dblade while falling and throw one rocket at the mancubus,blood punch the first pinky,slob the 2nd and 3rd mancubus,pick up the berserk when the whiplashes small

[green estuary]

there are also quite a few arachnotrons

[remote canopy]

Felt the same way until that room in taras nabad with 2 hidden archviles buffing the 2 tyrants

[wheat sigil]

yeah you got the meathook, even flaming hook, ballista, fast dashes, and fast weapon swapping in arc

don't need more than that

[green estuary]

well that's one room in the second-hardest master level in the game

[wheat sigil]

hardest encounter in the entire game

[remote canopy]

Also u have every single weapon mod

[green estuary]

yes

[wheat sigil]

or second hardest

[remote canopy]

2nd hardest one is the coin room in taras nabad

3rd hardest one is the one with a possessed marauder

[green estuary]

holt slayer gate used to be the hardest by far
but thankfully they nerfed it slightly

[remote canopy]

Taras nabad master level truly felt like hell was trying to stop u from getting the crucible

[green estuary]

true

[wheat sigil]

especially because they strategically left some rooms super easy so they could stockpile demons to make other rooms really hard

[remote canopy]

I just use one when the cyber mancubus+buff totem spawned and two bfgs for the double archvile and double tyrants

[green estuary]

cyber mancs + a buff totem is such an evil combination

[remote canopy]

Mass cyber mancubus itself is evil

[green estuary]

you literally touch the ground for half a second and your whole health bar just gets destroyed

[remote canopy]

I'm pretty sure cyber mancubus have more hp than archviles and marauders

And for some reason they don't go in glory kill that easily

[green estuary]

they have 6k, archviles also have 6k
marauders have 5k but they have damage resistance against pretty much everything

but cyber mancs also take like 4k damage from blood punch

[remote canopy]

Blood punch has 2 charges,there are 6 or more cyber mancubus there

[green estuary]

ssg + blood punch usually puts cyber mancs into gk, which kinda lets you sustain charges

it's a little risky though

[remote canopy]

It's inconsistent tho

I do something more risky
Energy shield+blood punch

[green estuary]

it's actually quite consistent if you hold your ssg shot until you're relatively close because all pellets will hit his wide ass hitbox

but it is risky

[remote canopy]

That's the problem
He dies from the ssg

[wheat sigil]

use one what

[remote canopy]

Bfg

[green estuary]

nah if you meathook onto him then blast him once and then blood punch he wont die

it's less risky to just toss a frag/remote det and then blood punch + ssg but it doesn't give you a gk

[remote canopy]

Also chat
Pb ballista or pb rocket

[green estuary]

i'm a pb ballista enjoyer because I just use lock on burst so much, also it's pretty much hitscan

but also pb rocket lets you slob so there's that

[remote canopy]

Or use a bfg
I'm pretty sure there are only 3 mass cyber mancubus in the entire game
Mars core
Super gore nest
Taras nabad

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/boo-gif-19787475173016375

[remote canopy]

I was like at 50hp on my attempt in un at Mars core vro

[green estuary]

which arena

[wheat sigil]

neither

[remote canopy]

Final arena with like 7 tyrants

2nd final

[green estuary]

well there you get like 3 bfg shots

[wheat sigil]

rocket+ballista🥱 >>

[green estuary]

[solemn mauve]

I thought you were going to say, punch and rocket tech instead

[green estuary]

rocket punching is kinda busted

[wheat sigil]

not really

[green estuary]

you barely even have to aim, just meathook jump and just rain down splash damage

it's busted until you have to chainsaw I guess lmao

and then you realize you only have 13 rockets

[wheat sigil]

thing is that it isn't super higher dps than pb+rocket, and consumes more rocket ammo

and if dps maxing is the goal, lob is often better

[green estuary]

yeah I don't rocket punch anyway

[remote canopy]

Pb sticky on top

[green estuary]

and against tyrants and barons who have lock on burst resistance I just insert random weapon combo here

[green estuary]

I don't even combo with sticky bombs tbh
I just periodically whip the csg out and let off 5 stickies and go back to normal

[remote canopy]

Little bit of this and a bit of that

[wheat sigil]

i used to spam rocket punch a lot, especially when maykr drones where there, but now i'm actually really happy with my swaps cus it's a lot of tech and very diverse

not a ton of anything, but a lot of different tech and swaps

[remote canopy]

I have a mouse with 12 extra side buttons and quick swapping just become child's play

[wheat sigil]

funny thing is, if you mod swap cancel out of the lob, you can turn up to 2 of the rockets into normal rockets, meaning no tracking and no damage resistance

[remote canopy]

I think lob isn't good against tyrants and barons because of damage reduction

[wheat sigil]

you should learn tech den

[remote canopy]

I think I can do most of the techs

[green estuary]

Yeah that’s where pb rocket just works better
It takes 4 lobs to kill a baron

[remote canopy]

3 lobs and a ssg puts them in a glory kill

[wheat sigil]

like fast destroyer blade, silent mod swapping, wack swaps, bats chains, punch bats?

[remote canopy]

I only know the 1st one vro

I started playing ts 3 months ago cause that's when I got a pc

[green estuary]

you think swapping is your ally

[wheat sigil]

really impressive even knowing about fast destroyer blade then

i didn't really start learning tech until i had 800 hours in the game, so there's absolutely no stress with it

[solemn mauve]

So like, which is the hardest tech to learn?

[wheat sigil]

depends

[wheat sigil]

there are extremely specific things that require extremely precise timing, so precise they're entirely useless

[remote canopy]

Also I like how most of the bugs in this game are features

[wheat sigil]

like frame ballista (literally frame perfect), some wack swaps, and lock-on burst punch bats

worst of them all is probably the alternate version of the lob punch bats... it feels almost impossible to get

[solemn mauve]

I see

[wheat sigil]

also idrk if anyone even knows you can punch bats the lob in the first place

but any punch bats without fse that isn't the arbalest/dblade is extremely hard

[remote canopy]

What even is punch bats

Infinite blood punch?

[wheat sigil]

very shortly, bats stands for bring-up animation transfer swapping, it allows you to transfer a fast bring-up to a slow bring-up up weapon, or vice versa if you wanna do that
and punch bats is just a name for one of the ways you can achieve this

[wheat sigil]

out of the techs that i actually use, the hardest is probably a combination of 2 techs

should probablyyy go into eternal if anyone wanna continue this tho😭

[solemn mauve]

[solemn mauve]

Hey regardless, I enjoyed the explanation you gave me

It's nice to hear from a professional

[wheat sigil]

i love talking about tech, but i usually don't do it too much since people generally don't really care about it

i can go on super long yap sessions about it if you want me to though lmao, since for almost every single tech there's so much to cover

[remote canopy]

When doom tda tech

Aside from the rocket launcher quick swap

[solemn mauve]

There are some, but not many like eternal

[wheat sigil]

only things i know about is the shield charge boost, shield swapping, and teleportation (literally teleportation)

oh and also silent mod swapping

[remote canopy]

How to teleport

[solemn mauve]

Yeah for the teleportation one, you use the automap

[wheat sigil]

frame perfect menu shenanigans

[remote canopy]

Wdym by mod swapping

[wheat sigil]

technically not mod swapping, the name is just carried over from eternal, but you can swap the weapon type while swapping to another animation

allowing you to skip the animation

[remote canopy]

Tbh most weapons are kinda bums in doom tda
Shredder, Cycler, Pulverizer,Grenade launcher,so you're prob only gonna use it for shotguns

[wheat sigil]

there are also some small things like how when you spawn in you can actually quick swap

pretty much opposite from eternal where you spawn in without hot swapper immediately equipped lmao

[green estuary]

bruh

[solemn mauve]

If you have seen the Sylar video with the Cycler, you would take back what you just said

[vivid light]

Is it just me or is the performance worse this patch?

[green estuary]

haven't seen any difference

[vivid light]

Like I'm getting 20-40 fps less than before

[wheat sigil]

shredder is high sustained dps, cycler is a good "support" weapon, and pulverizer is either speed boost or high dps in close range to large enemies

[vivid light]

Used to be at 120-130 and now I'm dipping to 70-90

[vivid light]

Shredder is great for early-game high dps, cycler is great for debuffing enemies and making them weaker to other weapons

[remote canopy]

Update your drivers

Had the same issue b4 driver update

[vivid light]

Grenade launcher is good for hitting large targets and also getting smaller targets that are close but not close enough for rocket launcher splash damage

Genuinely think the last upgrade for the cycler is useless though

Isn't even worth the wraithstone

[green estuary]

I think it definitely is

the dps increase is pretty noticeable

and it synergizes well with gauntlets

[vivid light]

Nah I mean if you use the cycler as a primary weapon then yeah but it's not really good for that honestly

It's way better to chain it for dps with the ssg, impaler, rocket launcher or chainshot

[remote canopy]

Honestly beat the entire game on un with 7 weapons only (including melee and shield runes)

[frail slate]

What is your hardest Rippatorium setup you have beaten so far?

I went 150% speed, max projectile speed, smallest pary window, lowest recourses, rest nightmare pre set.

3 Leader Cyber Demons
3 CyberDemons
3 Cosmic Barrons
No Fodder all in 1 wave.

Also Did 9 Aggadon Hunters. Projectile speed is really the biggest addition after 150% speed.

Currently trying:

3 Leader Cyber Demons
3 CyberDemons
3 Cosmic Barrons
9 Aggadon Hunters
No Fodder with above settings all in 1 wave.

But it seems too much units at once no space to dodge all the speed up projectiles xD

[merry sapphire]

game feels so good now after the hotfix, sucks that it came out right before silksong came out lmao

[remote mural]

In everyones opinion, Which is better Flail or The DreadMace?

[frail slate]

DreadMace by far. The double combo is insane. And it drops HP on demand. Its single target and AOE DMG plus CC completly outclasses the other weapons. Find and opening and delete whatever is infront of you combo it with the stun rune (heaven splitter?) for super easy encounters.

[remote mural]

I also deals heavy damage to Heavy demons and basicly deletes demon armor! but it's only drawback is that it only has one charge before it needs to recharge

[frail slate]

After parry you can double use it or just use once save CD. Which is just AOE mass kills. Even kills Cosmic Barons. It fills armor to max on all weapons. CD while high is not so much an issue. Parry your way to recharge is still decent recharge rate. With Heaven Splitter ? you become so insanely OP.

[remote mural]

Also imo the Cycler is broken. When fully upgraded it chain damages demons with ease and can delete any low class demon

[frail slate]

Its good for sure. But once you fight many super heavys at once its no longer so good. But campaign rooms are chill so mostly applies in Rippatorium. Its also long range weapon which comes in handy. My favorite weapon is rocket launcher with splash dmg increase. Its heal is so OP.

[remote mural]

I actaully mastered the Cycler and got it's Golden Skin and I always use it when I'm in crowds

[frail slate]

THe best weapon is what you have the most fun with

[remote mural]

That would be the Cycler In all honesty

[frail slate]

Then go for it 🙂

[topaz oasis]

I honestly think fist is better than dreadmace, dreadmace does great damage but is slow and risky and then you dont have melee for a while after using it

Fist does great damage too, is faster and safer, and after landing a 4-piece combo, you just need to parry another hell surge and you have another 4-piece ready

[frail slate]

Dreadmace needs to be timed. Its free hit with heaven splitter projectile parry though and usually can be used after faultering with block. If you dont go for double hit you can just use one after parry and save the real charge basically always have it ready when you need it.

I would say Dread Mace > Fist > Flai i now mostly fight crazy rippatoriums there dthe ability to insta delete super heavys is just most important if you fight crazy set ups. In campaign i think everything works but i would say Flai is really weak compared to the other options but its all about fun so whatever you enjoy is best

[topaz oasis]

Well, another thing is, a 4 piece combo from fist is usually enough to dispatch a super heavy too, so dreadmace beeg damage feels inconsequential in that regard unless that you're fighting prince asswreck

I only ever use dreadmace for the bosses tbh

[frail slate]

I think in praxis 4 hit combo is not as good as double dread mace against crazy setups because first dreadmace hit gives enough CC for second if you mange to multi falter. I personally prefer to insta delete 2 cosmic barrons when i get chase by 3 cosmic barons and have only little time because of 6 cyber demons or stuff like 9 aggadon hunters on top but its only for rippatorium i guess. But tbh both works its more preference for me. Whatever you like is best anyway 🙂

[topaz oasis]

Hmm, im sure the CC issues can be circumvented with good positioning and timing but then again, ripatorium doesnt appeal my tastes

[frail slate]

I fill the Rippatorium with so many Supperheavys there is really no space for error. I play 150% speed, max projectile spead, least parry window, 0% slow down, least recources and then fight 9 to 18 super heavys without fodder. I like the reliability of the dread mace in this situation but then its what works for me. Doesn't mean fist cant work better for you. And in campaign i think everything works.

[remote mural]

how do you get the DOOM Slayer's Golden skin?

[frail slate]

I have to go now. Take care everyone. I dont want to fight. I do not have a super hard stance about it. Its just what works for me. Play what works for you or is the most fun. See ya.

[remote mural]

No Issue! Nice Talking with you

[obsidian shard]

Beat Ultra Nightmare

[remote mural]

I know there was one for the rippitoroium but I must be mis hearing things

[obsidian shard]

The Ripatorium is a Purpley skin

[remote mural]

How do I get that?

[obsidian shard]

Beat Every Ripatorium map

[remote mural]

No matter what demons you use?

[obsidian shard]

Basically just have one zombie on a 5 min timer and kill it

[obsidian shard]

Yup

[remote mural]

That is the easist skin to get in the game LOL

[hearty edge]

alr i'll see that

[merry sapphire]

wasnt the dreadmace recently nerfed? is it still just as good?

[uneven mortar]

It's just as good against single targets

[solid nacelle]

They slightly nerfed the aoe damage but buffed direct damage

[uneven mortar]

Tbh I'm coming around on the dreadmace's balance, it's like the TDA iteration of the chainsaw

I thought it was too OP but it's not as bad as the crucible or hammer, and way more fun

[sand sphinx]

Hey, are there any trophies/achievements that are glitched in this game as of now?

[solar spoke]

aww, no stream tonight 😢

[pallid compass]

I just reinstalled 2 days ago and have completed all 3 maps multiple times with different difficulties and I choose 114-180 demons and still haven't gotten the skin. Nothing else legit matters, it should be simple like your description? I should try 1 demon per map win and I should get it?

just tried it and still didn't work 🙁 I wanna be purply

[warm ibex]

melee expert seems to still be broken for a few people, but not all

[sand sphinx]

Ah

[frail slate]

@merry sapphire i think its insanely good. The double combo is so good you can delete cosmic barons with it, AOE falter and dmg, drops HP even without kill, fills all ammo.

[remote canopy]

I mean sentinel hammer was straight up broken
In this game there's still power gauntlets which rival with dreadmace

[harsh egret]

They better start showing some more dlc stuff on stream like they said they would

[alpine mango]

does anyone know what to do im playing on pc and the game kept on crashing whenever id change any of my video settings but now it just crashes on startup

[worthy sigil]

Cfff

[solar cairn]

It seems to me that there is no point in waiting until TGA, except for a patch for the ripatorium

[harsh egret]

u can do that if u want lmao, im just saying concept art stuff that they said they might show more of on streams

[warm ibex]

the doom eternal cycle repeats itself

one week with no content and you've got people ready to call it quits lol

[solar spoke]

agreed, I wouldn't mind seeing more concept art

[solar spoke]

Not at all lol, I'm grateful we got the game as a whole package. Better than being drip fed live-service content like in other games

[warm ibex]

I mean I wasn't talking about you specifically 😅

[harsh egret]

i hope they will post teasers and stuff again for the dlc on social media like they did for the base game

was hype as hell knowing we were getting something every day more or less

to me

[solar spoke]

sorry, just aggravated. Been grinding the road to BF6 event and it's getting to me lol 😂

[warm ibex]

it'll be a minute before we start getting that sort of content again, unfortunately. I can't see the DLC releasing before February

so more teasers at the beginning of 2026 maybe

[harsh egret]

oh yeah for sure, but when it gets closer to launch that would be nice

[solar spoke]

That's a good timeframe if they're doing it as one package

[warm ibex]

absolutely yeah

[warm ibex]

I expect it to be later than feburary, but I can see it being around the start of the year if the overall DLC scope isn't monumental

[solar spoke]

Probably, I'd day maybe April would be good. Close enough to a year since the game came out at that point

[harsh egret]

sounded to me like they are well into development so february wouldnt surprise me
they talked about playtesting the dlc and specifically also the puzzles being really cool, and i imagine puzzles would be somewhat of a later priority in development

[spiral crow]

Guys is the stream today?

[solar spoke]

Not today, they said so in announcements

[frail bloom]

Yipee

Yipee kay yay

Lovely

[frail bloom]

So they're going along relatively fast huh

Considering what they're planning to do

Which is y'know transform the gameplay and add a bunch of content

I was here thinking june

[harsh egret]

i imagine early dlc work started right after launch if not maybe even before

[frail bloom]

Ye that would give them abt 10 months

Had to count

[harsh egret]

and it seems like a good amount of time

[frail bloom]

Ye it seems enough

What level are they on

For the streams

We haven't had any other dlc concept art

[harsh egret]

thats what im sayin

[frail bloom]

So far we know the puzzles being cool and it's a leap from dark ages

I want to know abt an enemy or smt

Or at least know it's name

Or literally anything

What level are they on does someone remember?

[harsh egret]

they got belly of the beast and the rest left

so 5 but technically 4 really

and they said they are gonna do 2 levels each week

[frail bloom]

That's like 2 streams

What abt after

[harsh egret]

unless im understanding wrong the "knock out two levels in two weeks"

[harsh egret]

prob nothing?

[frail bloom]

There ain't gonna be any streams afterwards

So it's gonna be another hiatus

Yipee

[harsh egret]

Well yeah

[frail bloom]

Hopefully in the last stream they talk abt the Master level campaign so we have smt to chew off of

[harsh egret]

Maybe some community ripatorium challenge stream or smth

[frail bloom]

They haven't said anything in forever abt master levels

Last since june and a sneak peek in august

[harsh egret]

Wdym "sneak peek"

[frail bloom]

Dev menu

Don't really know what else to call it

[harsh egret]

Ah thats just a leak

[frail bloom]

Leak

Ye leak

[harsh egret]

I was like what, they showed master level gameplay lol?

[frail bloom]

Well they better

[harsh egret]

Eh

[frail bloom]

I don't really see a problem with that compared to dlc

[harsh egret]

Leave it as a suprise and release when its ready

[frail bloom]

Ok what abt ripatorium

Show off the community presets menu

Or whatever tab it's on

[long heath]

Why am I dying at an atlan mech section

This is Embarrassing I swear to god

I get oneshot by a fucking armored titan with shield

[hearty edge]

That does happen now

On my 1st playthrough I never died and then I did die some times in my 2nd

[long heath]

Oh boy, time to rage at azhrak

[hearty edge]

They are harder now

[long heath]

Hopefully my neighbours don't call the police

[hearty edge]

Impaler go brr

[long heath]

I'm using chainshot

[hearty edge]

I'd say the impaler is the best weapon for that fight

It's faster

And the headshots do crazy damage

[long heath]

I have the impaler maxed out atm but I'm mainly using the chainshot

[solar spoke]

tbf they have beefed up the atlan sections. I turned down the dodge window and the old one is actually a challenge now. Those cyclops titans are beastly now too lol

[long heath]

Oh alright

I was wondering why I was dying so much on my second nightmare playthrough

[solar spoke]

they mildly decreased damage to titans too so there's that

[long heath]

I wish I had bfc ammo for this fight

[burnt finch]

I died there in ultra nightmare such an embarrassing

[solar spoke]

I would've loled before the update but post-patch 2 I fully understand the pain

[long heath]

When I go to melee azhrak to get more ammo, the spikes oneshot me when I have full health :I

The shield breaking sound is in my nightmares now

[long heath]

I got through his first phase

I guess I'm no longer hopeless

[warm ibex]

they've talked about doing more runs after the standard one concludes

Pandemonium and UN were mentioned. Pandemonium seems more likely

[long heath]

I got through his phase 2

Time for phase 3

This is going quicker than I thought

Beat phase 3 first try lmao

I guess my neighbors won't be calling the polics

[delicate shard]

Any news on the stream tonight?

[solid nacelle]

No stream until the 25th

[frail bloom]

Ah I see

[frail bloom]

Damn it next week too huh

[harsh egret]

aw

didnt realise

[frail bloom]

Ye Josh said 9.25

Just realized too

[harsh egret]

so they meant 2 levels in 2 weeks from now, not "2 levels each of the two weeks"

[frail bloom]

It's funny how there's some individuals who still think it was Hugo who mistreated Mick

Saw a new vid abt dark ages comparing it to eternal, mick thing pops up ofc as always, but this time they're mixing up Hugo in there

[random sand]

Was the team behind doom even remotely responsible for it? Wasn't it only the higher-ups at Id and Bethesda?

[frail bloom]

Ye it's literally the higher ups

Who the hell praises the higher ups of any company

Th3y all mistreat ppl some just aren't caught

[random sand]

Nintendo fans i guess?

[frail bloom]

Excluding them

[random sand]

Lmao

[frail bloom]

But seriously what higher ups or execs do you know that are somewhat decent ppl

[random sand]

No one comes to mind for me

[north spire]

Do they?

[frail bloom]

Yup

But when I see ppl lump ID in their they don't say who

[random sand]

Yes

[frail bloom]

They just assume everyone is an accomplice

[random sand]

"This person works for Id? They must have something to do with Mick!"

Basically the whole thing right there

[frail bloom]

That's all it is

No nuance

Just virtue signaling

But hey 5 yrs later and now it's super hip and cool to love dark ages but that new DOOM: the civil war game looks mad awful

What is this Marvel???? AmIright lads

[random sand]

I like TDA. Might even prefer it over Eternal. Sad to see Mick go but at least we are still in good hands with Finishing Move

[long heath]

I finally beat doom tda nightmare a second time

[random sand]

Can't deny they've made some bangers

[frail bloom]

Lot of ppl don't really like FM's work

[random sand]

Good job

[long heath]

I am finally free from temporarily being a masochist

[frail bloom]

They don't even ackowledge the good tracks or they played in May and haven't played recently

OR they haven't listened to any of the banger youtube mixes out there

[long heath]

I may try brawler mode or Ultra nightmare now

After I go outside and take a breath of fresh air

Oh gosh how long it's been

[random sand]

Opinions are a thing. People like something, and might not like when it's changed. But i gurantee you most of the people who didn't like TDA's ost didn't like it because it's not Mick therefore. I legit asked someone that didn't like it that and they full on admitted it😭

[frail bloom]

Ye it's also on "principle"

To like fm's work is to admit you like corpo slop and agree on every shwdy business practice a company does

[random sand]

Gotta do UN. Get that gold slayer skin. It's the one i'm rockin'

[terse kindle]

doom the dihh ages 💔✌️

[frail bloom]

And ontop of that your standards are low

Like what

[random sand]

What?

Never heard that one before

[frail bloom]

That's the implication for some ppl who dislike it

Some of it is personal I'm cool with that

But some straight up talk down to you and put themselves on a pedestal

[random sand]

I kinda want to run into someone like that now so i can just laugh at them🤣

[frail bloom]

Go ahead just go on David Levy's dark ages ost vid you'll meet plenty

No disrespect to Levy he was just being passionate and making music

[random sand]

I found a goldmine allright. Man...

[frail bloom]

What's the comment

"Now we're takking!!! Dis ain't the ai slop the corpos madddeee"

[random sand]

Actually wasn't much of that. But did find some FM hater sheep

[frail bloom]

No not that specifically but you will see some of those

A few do actually just call it ai music

Respect is a foreign concept

[random sand]

Jesus christ😭

[frail bloom]

Ye if you're not mick you're soulless

Not everyone thinks that but some do

And they all congregated in David's vid unfortunately

[random sand]

Guess the music i make is soulless and ai too then since i ain't the lord oh mighty Mick Gordon😭

[frail bloom]

Don't tell them that they'll bark back

[random sand]

I really hope they do. It'd be so damn funny lmfao

[frail bloom]

Idk go ahead at worse you spend more than 10 min of your day talking to some nutcase

Or "texting" really

[random sand]

They'd scream at me while i would laugh at them. Would be perfect

But, saving that for another time. 1am currently and getting up at like 7. Nighttime for me

[frail bloom]

Damn

Ye go sleep that's a million times more important

Gn

[random sand]

Yup. Gn

[acoustic mortar]

Chainshot/Accelerator and Super Shotgun/Impaler are my only combos I've been using. Am I missing out on anything way better than this? (first playthrough)

[frail bloom]

Parry rocket and csg feels very nice for me

Rocket launcher for health healing and the parry rocket for damage alongside the csg for armor gain

Cuz armor is hard to come by

[acoustic mortar]

Sometimes for armor I also use the regular shotgun with the 3 round burst but I almost never remember to use it. I think it gives some

[frail bloom]

Ye it's a good option alongside groundfissure

Ofc flail would be good but it needs a buff

The armor you get is lame

(But hey aura)

[acoustic mortar]

This might sound stupid but what is CSG?

[frail bloom]

Combat shotgun

[acoustic mortar]

ok makes much more sense to me now

[frail bloom]

Ye

[acoustic mortar]

I decided just to fully level the power gauntlet and havent even touched (wasted points on) the flail. I have no idea what the 3rd one is I havent unlocked it yet. The gauntlet is fine?

[frail bloom]

Ofc

Gauntlets and dreadmace are on par, flail is the only one that's lacking because it can't preform it's specific function well enough

[acoustic mortar]

I dont even have the runes unlocked I'm only on chapter 9.

[frail bloom]

Uh no you should have them by now

Have you done ancestral forge?

Don't you have ground fissure?

[acoustic mortar]

really? I havent started 9 yet

[frail bloom]

But have you finished 8

Inside the monster belly

[acoustic mortar]

Yes but I havent watched the cutscene yet

Maybe I'm misremembering the chapters

[frail bloom]

Ye after the cutscene you fight in an arena

Which gives you ground fissure

[acoustic mortar]

Yeah just checked I finished 8 and didnt even watch a cutscene or play 9 yet

[frail bloom]

To be clear you finished ALL of 8 right?

[acoustic mortar]

definitely

[frail bloom]

So ancestral forge is 9

So ye next level has the ground fissure

[acoustic mortar]

is that definitely the best one to choose?

[frail bloom]

There are 4, all are on par with eachother except auto turret

[acoustic mortar]

Appreciate the feedback

[cerulean pagoda]

I want that ngl

Ive already ultranightmared doom eternal for just a screenshot, this time in tda I will do it for an actual skin

[long heath]

ill try it yeah

[long heath]

you can just use the terrible flail if you really want armor

[long heath]

yeah ive seen a lot of people call it ai music

[exotic jetty]

@long heath dude your pfp is legendary

[topaz oasis]

indeed it is

[exotic jetty]

But his username is painfully long tho

[topaz oasis]

bruh what is this username

[long heath]

yeah it is

[topaz oasis]

I kinda feel like attempting a challenge run in dark ages

the idea is flail and combat shotgun only

on nightmare of course, and with both the CS and Flail fully upgraded from the get go

should I decrease damage to demons to 50% or that would be too much?

[hearty edge]

yea no just leave it at 100%

for now at least

[topaz oasis]

gotcha

yeah, if I decrease damage to 50% killing any super heavy is gonna take like half an hour

which to be honest I feel it'd be alright because you're gonna have a lot of survability with SC and Flail

but there are gonna be some lengthy fights on the late game missions lol

[verbal void]

Since i alr beat UN and UV you know what i have to beat now

Pandemonium and nighmare

And im 100%ing them while im at it

[topaz oasis]

why beat pandemonium if you already beat UN tho

might as well just do another UN playthrough at that point

[verbal void]

nah

Gonna do all 3 “hard” difficulties

Nvm ima 100% un

[topaz oasis]

that's the spirit, and do it no BFC

[verbal void]

Bet

No dreadmace?

[topaz oasis]

No dreadmace no problem m8

[dark thunder]

DARK AGES IS PEAK

I used to kinda be a flail hater but its growin on

[static harness]

Doom cat

[dark thunder]

Doom cat

[topaz oasis]

man, CS + Flail only with 50% damage to demons is absolute insanity

but so much fun too

[brave spoke]

What would you guys do to the grenade launcher to make it better

Cuz it feels so lackluster atm

[pallid compass]

I only find it valuable in the ripatorium. At some point a bunch will group together, I use the dbl direct hit dropping out a bunch of nearby clusters and it does chaos to those groups! Base game though, I never use it.

[meager vortex]

https://youtu.be/4Jn5JAhHM7M

[jovial grail]

dark ages in general is easy, damage to demons is insane

i miss eternal's arduous gameplay

[jovial grail]

more AOE, its basically like the rocket launcher but worse.
Just give it more aoe or make it take less ammunition from the rocket launcher

[drowsy venture]

changing difficulty sub setting still lets you get the pandemonium and ultra nightmare completion rewards right? I increased the max life sigils from 3 up to 4 and now it has the "m*" for modified settings which it didn't before despite having messed around with everything way back when I created the save

[heady drift]

the only thing they fear is you

[harsh egret]

yh

[drowsy venture]

you mean yeah I'm still good?

[harsh egret]

yeah u will get the rewards

[drowsy venture]

ok good, was making sure they didn't do an update getting rid of that

[jovial grail]

real

[solar spoke]

It's actually really good against the super heavies and regular heavies when they're grouped together, especially the Vagary

[topaz oasis]

LMAO watchu talking about? In Eternal you can delete half of the enemies in the game with a single lock-on burst

[idle gale]

Guys I have a doubt. I've been playing Doom The Dark Ages via XBox Ultimate Game pass (I own an old Xbox One X, so I cannot physically install the game on the console).
Regarding future DLCs if I'll ever buy the "Dark Ages Premium Upgrade" will my Xbox account have the DLCs unlocked every time I'll have an active Ultimate Game Pass and so be able to play the expansions? Thanks

[exotic jetty]

Doom cat

[brave spoke]

Me when parry rockets:

[nocturne marsh]

Can they please add doom the dark ages to the switch 2 now
