harsh egret
#

makes me pretty hyped for master levels/campaign

frail bloom
#

Ye same

#

It's very well made that encounter

harsh egret
#

they know what they doing with these encounters

frail bloom
#

Some thought was put into it

harsh egret
#

imagine an entire campaign like that

frail bloom
#

Hopefully they talk abt some of that today

harsh egret
#

maybe not THAT crazy in every arena obv

#

but a couple per level

frail bloom
#

I've been waiting for a while I want smt new to know abt

frail bloom
harsh egret
#

since they seem to release updates about every couple of months or 3 months

frail bloom
#

I want dlc something this week

#

And some other game mode info next week

harsh egret
#

i hope but i dont expect it anymore

harsh egret
frail bloom
#

Info on ripatorium or master levels

frail bloom
#

They mentioned puzzles, so that counts

#

Last time before that was concept art

#

Hopefully it's something visual this time

#

Words are cool but pictures say a lot

#

(And some context)

#

Hugo boofin

#

How's hugo doing honestly

#

Someone should ask

#

I'd be down in the dumps if I were him

#

But he's hugo so he's happy

#

Be like Hugo

#

Don't complain, just Hugo

half marlin
#

my hands

#

are shaking
as fuck

frail bloom
#

How was it

#

Did you do it?

half marlin
#

@frail bloom it worked bro

frail bloom
#

Haha yes

half marlin
#

heaven splitter

frail bloom
#

Does wonders

#

That's right Josh we know abt the secret encounter

half marlin
#

i'm changing my opinion on runes
they really are all useful
depending on situation

frail bloom
#

You can't beat us

frail bloom
half marlin
#

well yeah lol

frail bloom
#

I haven't found a use for it yet

#

Less than 3 hrs

#

Can you IMAGINE if they weren't able to this week

#

I'd go rabid

#

But I can't be like Hugo so I wouldn't be smiling at all

#

But that won't happen

#

We're gonna have a fun stream today

#

With some nice marketing

#

Dlc info pls

harsh egret
#

theres a chance i wont be able to watch the stream, shiet

#

samir tag me with like everything really

#

ill give u credit on my twitter post

frail bloom
#

Here's the thing

#

I might have a driving lesson soon after the stream starts

#

So if I don't tag you, I got sidetracked

#

But I'll try

#

If they play the ripatorium someone give them one of my presets

#

I gots plenty

#

And they have names

#

I hold a monopoly on presets

solid nacelle
#

It's okay guys bajookie master is on the case

half marlin
frail bloom
half marlin
#

that one dreadmace attack i wanted to do on stunned baron really fcked me up

frail bloom
#

Remember, the little stuff is also important

#

That means bug fixes

#

And enemy behavioral changes

solid nacelle
#

My peepers will be peeled and my ears wide open

harsh egret
#

will pay u with nothing

#

twitter credit HappyGuy

#

god i want a dlc concept so bad

frail bloom
#

I want an enemy concept art

#

Smt to hype us up a lil

#

Anything really

#

FM should use a hurdy gurdy

#

It's like a violin but it's really hard to get anything dynamic outta it and it's droning

half marlin
#

speaking of fm
I hope they keep on using that bass guitar in dlc soundtrack

#

bass guitar sections in infernal chasm and hellspawn rift especially are 🔥

frail bloom
#

And PUT IT in the ost this time

half marlin
#

lol lmao true!

frail bloom
#

If possible

#

Cuz those sections make the ost better than 2016

#

Like seriously I have not grooved that much in a while

harsh egret
#

also someone remember to ask if they can separate the resource value slider into 3 (armor, health, ammo)

frail bloom
#

Poor @uneven mortar been asking that for months

#

I feel your pain

harsh egret
#

yh i wrote it down to ask today

#

but i likely cant, will see what happens

frail bloom
#

Ye

silent surge
#

for real tho i use mostly holy swarm or splitter depending on what i need

upbeat junco
#

hugo give us more of these and my soul is yours

solid nacelle
#

Spawning a bunch of acolytes after killing only one of the two komodos is kinda frickin insane ngl. You have to make sure you can kill them both within a short time or you're just cooked

harsh egret
#

Fuck man if they really r making a master campaign im gonna lose my mind

#

As much as its sorta confirmed to me seeing that encounter just makes me hyped for that

dreamy kiln
harsh egret
#

They already confirmed long ago they r working on them @dreamy kiln

dreamy kiln
harsh egret
#

And there was a "leaked" ng+ in the dev main menu thing

#

And we have yet to get even one master level

#

Makes me think that's a master campaign

dreamy kiln
harsh egret
#

And hugo didnt say "master levels are on the way" he said "something fun with master levels are on the way" to me that means something more than just some levels

#

The tin foil hat is on

#

But i strongly believe in what im saying

dreamy kiln
harsh egret
#

U gotta get on that brother

dreamy kiln
warm ibex
#

I think we're on the same wave length here. Theory confirmed

frail bloom
#

Lol

solid nacelle
#

Bart ages

frail bloom
#

So can Josh read this chat then

#

Josh I gots some great presets

solid nacelle
#

Josh the cacodemon needs fixed plz plz plz

frail bloom
#

Ye ye true

#

Wolverine?

#

What's that

#

The anti-hero?

solid nacelle
#

That marvel character with the claws

frail bloom
#

Ye ok it's him

#

Why what's so special

#

Hey if Hugo likes Silent Hill F

solid nacelle
#

The game was announced a while ago and we're finally seeing it officially

frail bloom
#

Mayo might like it

#

But then again was he really a big sekiro fan

#

Hugo is

#

Wait is Josh 50

#

Striker eureka

#

Yez I guessed it

#

Wait he said every single one

#

Nvm

#

That's my way of dealing with school projects

#

I make them way cooler than they need to be

#

I make like animations and everything

#

Ye flex your creative muscles

#

(I'm talking to myself)

#

Can I work at ID

#

👀

solid nacelle
#

This stream has turned into some sorta life inspiration thing

frail bloom
#

Ye it's awesome

#

Finish what you've started

#

Hugo can I draw monsters at ID

#

I can either be a nurse or a concept artist

#

I gotta whooool catalog

solid nacelle
#

I just realized Hugo is playing belly of the beast today

#

We should get him to do the secret encounter

frail bloom
#

Y'know what that means

#

Uh huh

solid nacelle
#

I just finished it a little bit ago it's absolutely crazy

frail bloom
#

Wait they should hire writers

solid nacelle
#

True

frail bloom
#

Who's their writing team

#

Besides Hugo

#

There's surely others

solid nacelle
#

I haven't looked in a while but I think I remember it being 3 people? Will have to check

frail bloom
#

3 people!!!???

#

They need more

#

Hire M0no he knows what he's doing

#

Bro's gonna make a masterpiece

#

Oh that's true Hugo

#

We do lose our minds

solid nacelle
#

Ok its way more than 3

frail bloom
#

Where did ya find the info

solid nacelle
#

Hugo is the main writter and everyone else is "additional writing"

solid nacelle
frail bloom
#

Ye how many ppl

solid nacelle
frail bloom
#

William?

#

Isn't he a concept artist

#

He also writes huh

#

Get M0NO IN THERE

#

Oh look they know abt it

solid nacelle
#

Lets gooo

frail bloom
#

They're gonna take like an hr on that thing

half marlin
#

OH MY GOOD LUCK HUGO

#

THEY'LL DO THAT ONE ENCOUNTER.....

frail bloom
#

Hey...

#

They're gonna talk abt smt new right

#

I'll wait but usually they say smt major first and then play

#

I'll wait

solid nacelle
#

Shit I dunno I think chat might have to provoke them into it

frail bloom
#

Uh oh

#

I'll wait

harsh egret
#

Anything important shown yet?

frail bloom
#

No lol

harsh egret
#

Welp

solid nacelle
frail bloom
#

Usually they show smt before they start the game

#

So that's kinda worrying

harsh egret
#

New merch is fun for me

#

Did they say what type of merch

harsh egret
frail bloom
#

But that also means they're here next week too

solid nacelle
#

Id signature series wave 1

harsh egret
#

Is that clothing

solid nacelle
#

Pretty sure yeah

frail bloom
#

So I won't have to wait like a bajillion days

#

Bruh how's he gonna do the secret one

#

He's gonna take a loooooong time

harsh egret
frail bloom
#

Today's notes:

Merch

#

Lol

#

Bruh what is this gameplay

#

BE AGGRESSIVE

#

How the hell is he gonna do the secret one lmao

#

Wait

#

He's gonna say smt

solid nacelle
#

News coming??

frail bloom
#

Yes merch

#

And

#

...

#

Yes the board game

#

And

solid nacelle
#

Yooo

frail bloom
#

WHAT ABT MASTER LEVELS

solid nacelle
#

My comment got read

half marlin
#

melee hotswap in dlc

frail bloom
#

Bro we knew abt that

#

For like a month

half marlin
#

I didn't HappyGuy

frail bloom
half marlin
#

i knew only that they're doing melee hotswap
but ddin't know that they'll add it in dlc

frail bloom
#

They just brushed by the question

frail bloom
#

And changes how the game is played

solid nacelle
#

Maaan not a peep on master levels 😭

frail bloom
#

Tragic

#

You doomtubers get no crumbs

#

I guess next week then

#

I'll just passively watch the stream

solid nacelle
#

Just one more week until more news guys

frail bloom
#

Gah

#

That's literally a month

#

Oof

#

A month total

#

Wait

harsh egret
#

tbf its a singleplayer game, most games dont even get any of these streams

frail bloom
#

They said they're almost completely working on the dlc

harsh egret
#

its not a live service game

frail bloom
#

Does that mean that everything else is being really slowed down?

frail bloom
#

I get grumpy

harsh egret
#

unlucky really

frail bloom
#

They're kinda my comfort stuff

#

I come back after a long day and I hope to get excited abt something

#

But y'know I guess I'll just watch passively

#

Plus when you're a hardcore fan you care abt marketing and sharing the latest info for others who don't have time to watch these streams

#

Y'know

#

Hype

#

WAIT

#

Please say yes

harsh egret
#

he said no

frail bloom
#

Uh

#

Damn

#

Who's gonna tell her

harsh egret
#

@uneven mortar the answer is no

frail bloom
#

Tragic

#

Today is not the day

#

Bruh someone just mentioned the lost soul being a model

#

In the viewer

#

They just brushed by it

solid nacelle
#

There's an aggadon in seige part 1?

frail bloom
#

Ngl getting a little annoyed

uneven mortar
frail bloom
#

Uh oh

next thistle
#

I don't have a single identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust

uneven mortar
#

What possible reason

frail bloom
#

Ye I can't defend it either really

#

No idea.

#

Sorry

unkempt dragon
#

I think people need to enjoy things for awhile and not be so pushy and unrealistic about things coming out when they deem appropriate. Stuff takes time. The game isn't even half a year old, it's fine to get excited for what's to come but don't get bratty about it.

#

Give them a bit. They have more going on than just Doom work.

frail bloom
#

Yeah

#

But I never asked for dates, just what they've been workin on

#

Not villifying them

harsh egret
#

dont u literally know what they are working on tho

frail bloom
#

If they choose to not say anything that's in their power

#

But

#

It's also horrible for marketing

#

So go ahead

#

Not like I can do anything

harsh egret
#

studios dont just tell people what stage in developemnt they r in cuz some impatient ppl asked

unkempt dragon
frail bloom
#

Again, not what I asked

harsh egret
#

its not horrible for marketing

frail bloom
#

Really

harsh egret
#

u waited 3-4 years with nothing about a new doom game

frail bloom
#

Ye that's common

harsh egret
#

and how is this any different

frail bloom
#

We didn't even know it was coming out

#

So we never expected anything

harsh egret
#

we kinda did

frail bloom
#

But we've heard abt master levels, but nothing since may

#

Just brushed by the question

harsh egret
#

and they dont need to say more, marketing isnt sharing the information with 400 ppl or whatever on a stream

frail bloom
#

If they wanna stay silent fine, but any conversation gets stifled bc there's nothing to talk abt

#

Like Tyler said

#

"Y'know it's bad when they have nothing to talk abt"

harsh egret
#

uhm

#

no

frail bloom
#

To you

harsh egret
#

samir i think ur in the minority atm

#

no offence

frail bloom
#

Yeah the majority moved on and doesn't even think abt the game

#

So yes I am that minority

harsh egret
#

cuz theres like 30 games to play

frail bloom
#

I barely play anything else

#

So y'know

unkempt dragon
#

I like you dude but I think you can have a sometimes elitist and entitled pov when it comes to TDA

frail bloom
#

Yeah I get a lil itchy

#

It's my comfort thing what can I say

harsh egret
#

just enjoy the gameplay alongside the goat hugo and chill

frail bloom
#

Eh

unkempt dragon
#

I get it. Just be 💫patient💫🙂

frail bloom
#

Alr

#

Imma turn off the stream, y'all tell me if you find smt worth talking abt

harsh egret
# frail bloom Eh

thats what the point of these streams were when they did them for eternal

frail bloom
#

Thank you

frail bloom
harsh egret
#

they were a fun time to chill with hugo and have him talk about anything

frail bloom
#

I was like 12

harsh egret
#

well thats what the point of the streams is

#

anything else is a bonus

frail bloom
#

Eh

solar cairn
#

Apparently, the next big patch will be closer to TGA

unkempt dragon
#

Trust me, good things will come

harsh egret
frail bloom
#

What's TGA

#

Oh the game awards

#

Wait

#

So

#

December

#

Oof

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

Aaaannnnndddd

harsh egret
#

yeah thats not "apparently" then

uneven mortar
#

Tbh I'm more interested in NG+ than the DLC right now, I hope we get info soon

harsh egret
#

bro acting like hugo said that

frail bloom
harsh egret
#

god i wish that dev menu was never found

frail bloom
#

Might be next week

#

Might be 2 weeks

#

Might be 3 weeks

solar cairn
uneven mortar
#

I'm not stupid

frail bloom
#

They actually did read a comment abt master levels

#

But they brushed it off

#

So it depends

#

They infact restated that they're working on melee swap

uneven mortar
#

Interesting

frail bloom
#

Ye

uneven mortar
#

I reckon they'll drop NG+ at the game awards and DLC around February

frail bloom
#

Ye I'll go with that

#

And some ripatorium stuff in october

#

Hopefully they drop NG+ during my winter break

harsh egret
#

i think they will drop some big update before tga, maybe late october or early november, and then dlc announcement at tga

frail bloom
#

Uh huh

#

You still watching the stream?

#

How's the secret encounter going

harsh egret
#

watching on and off

#

i think he is still on it

frail bloom
#

Alr

#

He'll prob take like 30 min on that

#

Might not even do harbor of souls

#

Were they gonna do two levels?

harsh egret
#

yes

frail bloom
#

Streams are like 2 hrs usually

#

Are they gonna go overtime

harsh egret
#

they had a rly long stream at one point for eternal

#

mightve been like 5 hrs

frail bloom
#

Well it was one instance

harsh egret
#

dont remember

frail bloom
#

Don't feel like today would be for that type of stream

solar cairn
harsh egret
#

not really

#

i think i said 5 times how it kinda makes perfect sense

frail bloom
#

Ye so basically it has to be a master level campaign

#

Since ID has a new found tradition of shadowdropping everything at once

#

I'd expect the same for master levels

#

But then again, no actual confirmation

#

So take it with a grain of salt

next thistle
#

Hugo switched to Dreadmace....

frail bloom
#

Oh is he still on it

#

Lmao

next thistle
#

Rough sledding....

formal oxide
#

highkey give me doom the dark ages for my birthdau

#

witawwy

frail bloom
#

You want the game or a good pc

formal oxide
#

i have a good pc big little uh

#

something

frail bloom
#

Right

#

Ok I'd wait for a sale

formal oxide
#

how much u get it for

frail bloom
#

Around the time there's a sale, there's prob some update

#

100 bucks

#

I paid for premium

#

Dumb ahhh thing to do

formal oxide
#

there seems to be an autumn sale coming up

frail bloom
#

The only upside is I get dlc upon release instantly

formal oxide
#

oo nice

frail bloom
#

And that helps

#

Especially if you're not an adult

#

And depend on your parents money

#

Or you have money but they won't let you spend

#

But hey I don't have to ask it's right there on my feet

formal oxide
#

im not an adult BUTT if i earn the money they dont give 2 shits what i spend it on dw

frail bloom
#

Pre-planning

frail bloom
harsh egret
#

Eyo

solid nacelle
#

I think you're onto something

half marlin
#

HE SPILLED IT

warm ibex
#

aaaah there we go!

harsh egret
#

I might be onto smth

#

I cant believe he actually read that out lmao

half marlin
#

someone asked about "will it be the master campaign?" and Hugo said yes ❤️

warm ibex
#

master level campaign hint there we go

solid nacelle
#

Master campaign spoken aloud

harsh egret
#

Yes mannnnn

#

All i expected was a lil smirk or smth when he looked at chat

#

But damn

solid nacelle
#

Hugo finally beat the encounter

harsh egret
#

and he did the encounter, there we go

warm ibex
#

we're so back lmao

half marlin
harsh egret
next thistle
#

THANK GOD

half marlin
#

I got shout out for tactic suggestion
I can die in peace now

#

biggest honor I was ever awarded of

harsh egret
#

@frail bloom r u happy kekw

next thistle
#

👍👍👍YES

harsh egret
#

proving the doubters wrong

frail bloom
#

Ah hah

#

Now we're talking

#

That's all I needed

#

Literally

#

Alr master level campaign has been confirmed

#

And

#

The secret encounter is a glimpse into that

warm ibex
#

at least not most of it, but definitely some rough encounters

frail bloom
#

No yeah

#

The hardest encounters are gonna be like that

#

This is prob not the hardest tho

#

But for what it is, it's a good standard

#

Pressure units on vital resources, more enforcer usage

#

Plus more superheavies

harsh egret
#

werent they supposed to do harbor of souls too

frail bloom
#

I told you

harsh egret
#

they ending stream now

frail bloom
#

They took too long

next thistle
#

HoS is next week

frail bloom
#

Not surprised

harsh egret
#

the thumbnail said both levels

frail bloom
#

Oh well

harsh egret
#

oh well, not complaining tbh

frail bloom
#

Go sleep lmao

solid nacelle
#

Well these were my notes:

-id signature series wave 1 announcement next week

-Melee/rune hotswap might not come until DLC

-Probably going to update the checkpoint for the belly of the beast secret encounter

-There was a nod towards a potential master level campaign

frail bloom
#

Alr what are the notes for today

#

Oh there you go

#

The last part is the most important

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

We have the dev menu too

#

So it's literal confirmation

harsh egret
warm ibex
#

yea no worries man

harsh egret
#

tbf its 3 am at my place so its better for me

next thistle
#

What was the Dreadmace called ? Alligator Bat ?? 😂😂

frail bloom
#

I haven't even played the encounter yet

harsh egret
#

ill have to try it soon

solid nacelle
#

Mace is pretty much required for that fight

frail bloom
#

I'll be a masochist and beat it with the flail

#

And I can totally do it

solid nacelle
#

💀

meager vortex
#

hell yeah!

topaz oasis
#

Yo, I need to try that secret encounter in belly of the beast

#

that's crazy

#

Hi

#

I’m new

hard token
#

I just got here

#

gotta find it then

#

search every nook and cranny

warm ibex
#

could be an area trigger

red peak
#

Whatttt?

scenic lichen
#

Any word from Hugo in today’s stream?

warm ibex
#

content like Ripatorium 2.0 and melee/rune swapping will release very close to DLC

#

Next week they'll reveal wave one of the id software signature merch series

#

Hey does anyone know why can't I turn on dlss frame gen while having a 40 series

#

I have latest drivers

uneven mortar
#

Anything interesting on Hugo stream?

random sand
#

possible every level gets a mastery level actually

warm ibex
# uneven mortar Anything interesting on Hugo stream?

Hint at a master level campaign, fully confirmed that content like Ripatorium 2.0 and melee/rune swapping will release around the DLC, next week they'll reveal wave one of the id software signature merch series

#

Also mentioned that substantial updates have slowed and will continue to stay slow now that they've shifted their full focus onto the DLC

#

so basically don't expect anything major until around/after DLC launch

remote canopy
#

Am I supposed to report bugs here

#

?

warm ibex
remote canopy
solar spoke
#

just tried the secret encounter and...

remote canopy
#

Which one

solar spoke
#

the one in belly of the beast. Hugo did it in the stream last night

#

It made my hair grey lol

remote canopy
#

It wasn't too bad

fluid dust
#

Hey guys. What’s the word on some dlc?

harsh egret
#

also does that mean that a master campaign isnt coming before dlc? 😭
unless they already finished work on that since they already mentioned master levels months ago

random sand
covert goblet
#

"Run."

books it to the next dimension.

subtle gulch
#

I wonder if we'll ever get cheat codes like we did in Eternal. They were cool.

wheat sigil
#

i hope we get carcasses, they were cool

next thistle
#

Fully upgraded Dreadmace and Heaven Splitter is just too damn good

upbeat junco
#

lets fuckin go, melee and rune swaps

unreal lagoon
#

Hey folks, i missed a bunch of stuff. Will the chapter select completion % be enough for me to figure out which ones need to be replayed?

swift pollen
#

I'm going back and replaying some chapters to 100% the game but my automap is gone and has been replaced with the jukebox and idk how to get it back

topaz oasis
topaz oasis
#

this game has some messed up bugs DE_Tooyoungtodie

#

Aight, time to continue with the Hell Mode playthrough

#

going into the cosmic realm now, let's see if I can make it to Asswreck

warm ibex
harsh egret
#

yeah he did say a while ago that the rune swap would come with a patch closer to dlc yh

#

josh said they filmed smth for the merch announcement or smth, and for some future stuff too, so maybe some announcement for master campaign update

warm ibex
harsh egret
#

i assume its smth for an update too cuz they had hugo doing voiceover for the last update trailer

solid nacelle
#

I hope they plan to have some small bug fixes sprinkled here and there at the very least

karmic fractal
#

Shield

#

Funny

warm ibex
fervent maple
#

What would an extra variant for each weapon class look like? I want a third skullcrusher just to have a red skull

warm ibex
#

third shotgun variant that didn't pass sentinel safety regulations so it just blows the fuck up and kills you immediately

harsh egret
#

lmao

unreal lagoon
fervent maple
solar cairn
frail bloom
#

There's no way

#

That's months of no content

#

They atleast have to release the master level campaign and some ripatorium updates

#

They made it sound like they were almost done with community sharing preset stuff

#

I think Hugo mispoke

#

He probably mispoke last time

#

Bc when he first mentioned rune and melee swapping, he said it was closer to dlc

#

Than 3 weeks ago, he said it'll be implemented rather soon

#

Now he's saying closer to dlc again

#

So he prob mispoke last stream

#

And plus he said updates have slowed

#

So they prob are just releasing bigger updates but with less frequency

#

I just can't imagine having nothing new in TDA to play for abt 5 months

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

Why would deadlines shift

#

That's not good

#

I don't like crunch

#

They got rid of the year one pass for a reason

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

What does it look like am I in their office or smt

#

Is it not understandable that it bothers me that the game might not have any updates for months

#

Plus it's not abt me

#

I'm worried they're going through crunch

#

But like the super bad kind

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

I never said minor updates

#

I said in the message above that I'm fine with big one's

#

Basically a bundle update

#

But months?

solar cairn
#

Perhaps Ripatorium 2.0 will be released earlier

wintry nexus
#

I NEED ripatorium 2.0

frail bloom
#

Ripatorium 2.0 ain't the final version anyway

wintry nexus
#

I NEED ITTT

frail bloom
#

I'm pretty sure

#

They would have to add dlc enemies and mechanics and allat

#

But what abt the master level campaign?

#

ID can use that as a reference for dlc

#

See how players handle the master level campaign

#

And find the appropiate difficulty

#

There's just too many questions

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

Yeah I'm not too sure abt how they're handling that

#

Kinda a blunder

wintry nexus
#

Mannnnn

frail bloom
#

Plus, I'm not sure that's even what they meant

#

So lets say it releases march 2026

#

They prob were working on master level stuff in may

#

So 10 months

#

Ofc they could've started earlier

#

Ok I have an idea

wintry nexus
#

They should hire me so I can finish ripatorium 2.0 because I’m so consistent

frail bloom
#

Say they won't release the master level campaign before dlc, it's after, how are they gonna balance the dlc(difficulty) on playerfeedback?

#

Instead they'll use the ripatorium encounters ppl make

#

And that can show what ppl can handle

#

So their reference isn't gone it's just in a different mode

#

So at the very least they could release Ripatorium 2.0 before dlc

#

And the master level campaign after

#

Even if I'm not happy with that

#

But it makes sense

topaz oasis
#

guys, I'm gonna attempt the secret encounter in belly of the beast

#

wish me luck kekw

#

and I'm streaming if anyone wants to see

topaz oasis
#

GOTTEM

#

did it no BFC with 50% damage to demons pogtruger

wheat sigil
#

i gotta do dat tomorrow

#

ml-esque encounter sounds fun

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

Did you happen to read aboe

warm ibex
#

that's just sad

frail bloom
#

I changed some of my mind

#

I think master levels are after dlc

#

And some ripatorium stuff is in between these 5 months

#

Don't tell me that we'll have next to nothing in almost half a year

#

We'll have something

#

Plus y'know

#

Would be kinda weird if all they could focus on is the dlc

#

Like I don't expect monthly updates

#

Maybe intervals of 3 months

#

But to say we're gonna get nothing in between is ridiculous

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

Wdym from here to february is 5 months

#

I want to keep coming back

#

There has to be smt they can release in between 5 months

#

Not master levels since that's a whole campaign

#

So y'know why not a few ripatorium stuff

#

Hugo made it sound like they were almost done with communtiy preset sharing

#

That would be a good addition until dlc

warm ibex
#

I didn't get that impression

#

just that it's possible and should be coming in the future

frail bloom
#

I think he said it was up and working

#

Smt like that

#

So it's kinda like the slo mo slider in that sense

#

Cuz they had that done way before quakecon

#

They just like to bundle things

#

Or y'know

#

If not that

#

I don't really know what to say lol

#

I'm just not understanding the sudden shift

#

Now I'm worried they're being rushed

#

Cuz beforehand it sounded like, yes they were working on dlc primarily, but they were working on other stuff on the side at a good pace

#

Now it sounds like they have to focus on dlc only

#

I'm just worried

#

At the very least

#

They could not update the game in any major update

#

But at least have some trailers

#

The idea of just radio silence

#

I don't think that's gonna happen

solid nacelle
frail bloom
#

Ye that makes sense

#

Alr

#

Well if not updates I'd be fine with a trailer or two

#

Literally anything between now and february

warm ibex
#

this shit is getting goofy man

solid nacelle
#

True

red peak
#

Idek whats going on lol

solid nacelle
#

It's not like eternal didn't go months without new content

#

Skins don't count

frail bloom
#

It went 8 months between launch and sgn right

#

The master level

solid nacelle
#

I think it was 9

frail bloom
#

I was too young were they like super quiet on that

solid nacelle
#

Those were also covid days ofc

frail bloom
#

Wait so didn't it release after the dlc then

warm ibex
#

Seven months between launch and TAG, nine months between launch and SGN master level

frail bloom
#

Ye so the same is prob gonna happen here

solid nacelle
frail bloom
#

Ye so like I said, master levels are prob after

#

Seems right

warm ibex
#

Most of the content released between launch and TAG was cosmetics and battlemode content (aside from empowered demons)

#

So far they're ahead of eternal when it comes to releasing post launch single player content

wintry nexus
#

Wait what are the empowered demons again?

warm ibex
#

stronger demons that killed another player at that point in their run. Taking them out gives you ammo

wintry nexus
#

Ohhhh

final dune
#

so wait is the dlc releasing in february or something

wintry nexus
#

I think I have that turned off

frail bloom
#

But it's what we speculate

#

Hugo said the dlc is in a "playable" state rn

#

Whatever playable is

solid nacelle
#

As far as we know it might not come until spring

frail bloom
#

That was my first guess

solid nacelle
frail bloom
#

But february kept popping up so I switched to february

#

I thought it would release a year after the campaign

solid nacelle
#

I just want the dlc to be good as fuck so I don't really care how long it takes, as long as it's higher quality than tag then I'm chilling

frail bloom
#

Me neither

#

But my concern isn't abt dlc tho

#

Take as much time as you need

#

But are they atleast working on other things

#

Bc if they're working on dlc only

#

I'm worried the deadline was reduced

#

So now they don't have time to work on other things

#

Tbh I'm looking into it too much

warm ibex
#

yes you absolutely are

frail bloom
#

But

solid nacelle
#

Hugo did say that the armored baron was like "proof of concept" for armored enemies in dark ages, so I'm hoping something similar is at play

frail bloom
#

That prob means it's gonna be like from the reveal trailer to the dev direct

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

That was like, 6 or 7 months

#

And there was nothing inbetween

#

We had a nvidia promo

warm ibex
#

enough of this man

frail bloom
#

I'm not complaining

#

I'm just trying to remember

warm ibex
#

but you are dragging this on and on and on dude

frail bloom
#

We're not talking abt anything else

warm ibex
#

we're trying to lol

meager vortex
#

well if new update is coming i will be happy for it

frail bloom
#

Speaking of the nvidia promo

#

It had an area I haven't seen yet

warm ibex
#

I recently went back and watched some of the older Eternal dev streams while researching for a vid, Hugo actually teased TDA all the way back in December of 2020

frail bloom
#

It was like 2016 but gothic

warm ibex
#

the mech factory?

frail bloom
#

That's prob it honestly

#

It had banners aswell

#

But there was molten lava

#

I think Gougaro made a vid on that

#

I don't know how to say the channel name

solid nacelle
#

I think he was playing on reclaimed earth

frail bloom
#

But he was teasing abt the slayers dog

#

Although that never really happened

#

Someone give Doomguy a dog

solid nacelle
frail bloom
#

Didn't we know that

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

For like, a year

solid nacelle
#

Oh dang

solar cairn
#

Did he say he wanted the Middle Ages?

frail bloom
#

Well it's before the tank and fighter jet analogy

#

He's abt to say

#

Sorta?

#

Smt abt lovecraftian mayker cthulhu stuff

#

Which made it's way here obv

#

But now that it's here it's gonna stay

#

Samurai stuff

#

Doom samurai stuff

#

For sure

#

Dark ages melee with eternal uh stuff

#

Idk what does eternal have going for it

#

Gunplay

#

It's gunplay

#

But that would also be kinda complicated

#

If they're willing to go that far

#

The theme for this game was simplicity

solid nacelle
#

I do hope they continue to iterate on melee, dark ages has a good thing going so far

frail bloom
#

Ye this game is 2016 again

warm ibex
#

At 14:30 and 52:08 in the "DOOM Eternal: Hugo Martin's Game Director Playthrough - Ch. 2 Exultia" stream he first alludes to showing more of the Sentinel armies some day in the future and then mentions that they could one day explore the Slayer's time with the Sentinels

#

no problem at all bro

frail bloom
#

Ye he mentioned the slayers dog too

warm ibex
#

yeah that too

frail bloom
#

And did a lil smirk

warm ibex
#

three teases for TDA in one stream

frail bloom
#

He knew what he was doing

meager vortex
#

well we know master level coming

frail bloom
#

Ye I guess that's neat

#

Beforehand I assumed it was the whole campaign

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

Now I know

frail bloom
#

Or they atleast were in the concept stage

#

They didn't start production till after dlc

#

Or during tag 2 idk

warm ibex
#

It seems as if they're currently beginning to hire for the next entry, which should give you some insight on how early they begin planning

frail bloom
#

Oh ye I forgot abt that

#

Who were they hiring again

#

There was a specific role that was open

#

Lead programmer???

#

Don't remember

warm ibex
#

lead gameplay features programmer

frail bloom
#

Ye ok

warm ibex
#

"Id Software, part of the ZeniMax Media Inc. family of companies, is seeking an experienced Lead Gameplay Features Programmer to join our Dallas team in the development of an unannounced video game project."

frail bloom
#

Gameplay features is interesting

#

They're clearly looking to add new mechanics

solar cairn
#

I am lead master level programmer

frail bloom
#

Uh huh

warm ibex
warm ibex
frail bloom
#

The first two are like braindead obvious stuff for a videogame

#

All games have characters and enviroments

warm ibex
#

I hope this is bait doomguy_shock

frail bloom
#

Well were you caught

#

👀

solid beacon
#

my dog name was cherri that i name for

meager vortex
frail bloom
#

Ohhhhhh

#

Oops

#

I get it

warm ibex
#

I do too

#

Hugo has been asked about where they'll go next several times during the TDA marketing stuff and he's always like "Yeah we can't say anything for sure but we REAAAAAAALLLYYYY like making Doom games"

#

or maybe they'll surprise us and bring out Quake, I dunno

frail bloom
#

Well I never said it wasn't gonna be doom

warm ibex
#

I'm ready for a break from Doom but I'd be fine if they waited until the medieval story was concluded

frail bloom
#

I just said they were gonna innovate a lot

#

Or implied it

#

Cuz y'know they hired a lead gameplay features dude

warm ibex
#

which is like saying the sky is blue. innovation and new features are a 110% guarantee with modern id games lol

frail bloom
#

Well what's wrong with saying the sky is blue

#

Well I think it's gonna be samurai smt

#

Cuz Hugo reaaallly liked that idea

#

The theme is samurai stuff tho

#

Not the time period

#

So it could be after eternal or after dark agss

fleet spruce
#

um, Shadow Warrior?

frail bloom
#

Idk maybe

#

Oriental demon designs

#

Sounds fun to me

#

The only "fancy" enemies we have are maykrs

warm ibex
#

TAG as a whole suffered greatly because they crammed important stuff into a DLC campaign, so if they plan on doing more medieval Doom I'd rather them tackle it with care and respect through a new game and then move on

#

I'd also rather not jump around a whole bunch. Wouldn't necessarily complain, but ideally they wouldn't make an Eternal sequel and then return to medieval doom again afterwards

frail bloom
#

Well by medieval I'd imagine the unholy crusades and the civil war

#

Everything after isn't tied down to a theme

#

Say, the time he was in hell

#

That can be medieval, or smt else entirely

#

But I assume they're gonna do one more medieval doom game

#

It's gonna be the eternal version of this game

#

All crazy

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

See that can happen too

#

I assume the next game is gonna go super crazy

#

With how much mechanics you're gonna juggle

#

Since we're used to a shield now

#

I can imagine dual wielding inputs being a reality

#

So you can shoot while blocking

#

Not possible here

#

Ye dual wielding shield and sword

#

But you would have two modes

#

A shield with your guns and a shield with your katana

#

So it's 2 different major styles

#

Within those styles there's different styles

#

Whether it be how your guns are upgraded or your sword

#

All very loose stuff but it's an idea

#

Either way the level's kinda boring to me

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

It's just so much green

#

And the sky is depressing

#

Not foreboding but not nice looking either

#

And Hell looks suuuuper basic

#

Well not basic

#

It just looks tame

uneven mortar
#

Shadow Warrior 3 was excellent

#

I would love to see a bigger-budget sequel to that with less jank and more demons

#

2016 has sort of lost its lustre for me in some ways, I love the style mostly but the high amounts of brown desert and grey facilities kind of... egh

frail bloom
#

I like hell the most,

uneven mortar
#

Some people swear by those two, I haven't played them personally. I just know 3 was very inspired by doom eternal and it was awesome

frail bloom
#

Necropolis is my fave a

solar cairn
frail bloom
#

That's what I'm saying

#

Dark ages changed waaaay more than eternal ever did

#

But if anything eternal just cranked things up

#

So the next game is dark ages but cranking things up

#

Imo

uneven mortar
#

I'd like to see Dark Ages combat with more verticality and ammo management, reeling back a couple of the changes from eternal

frail bloom
#

I think of it like this

#

Eternal is closer to 2016 than dark ages

#

By a lot

#

And it didn't create a completely new feeling imo

#

It just enhanced a bunch of things

#

But dark ages removed some things

#

And added others

hearty edge
frail bloom
#

So I'd imagine next game is just additions to make it crazier

solar cairn
hearty edge
frail bloom
uneven mortar
frail bloom
#

Better if your meathook disables your shield

uneven mortar
#

Eternal encouraged using certain weapons for certain demons, which was pretty much absent in 2016

solar cairn
uneven mortar
#

Eternal felt very chess-y in a way 2016 didnt

frail bloom
hearty edge
frail bloom
#

Plus imagine meathooking while blocking

hearty edge
frail bloom
#

That would be so jank

#

Just make them seperate

#

You gotta think abt mechanics

uneven mortar
#

I'd like to see those green corpses on the roof in TDA DLC so you can charge right across a battlefield

frail bloom
#

Like how would this play on console

#

Not good

uneven mortar
#

Basically a hulk jump

hearty edge
#

that'd bee so cool

#

kinda like the green bals from tag 2

uneven mortar
#

Yeah

hearty edge
#

but when you fall all fodder demons crumble beneath you

frail bloom
#

There should be air control in dlc

#

Imagine picking where you land

hearty edge
#

idk i feel it's not that necessary

frail bloom
#

Ground falters can be more decisive

hearty edge
frail bloom
#

But dlc is gonna ramp things up

hearty edge
#

ya

frail bloom
#

So you gotta find some ways to do that

uneven mortar
#

I feel like the imprecision is the point, if you want to pick where to land use the shield charge and miss out on the falter

hearty edge
#

wat

frail bloom
uneven mortar
#

Green corpses are already jank

frail bloom
#

All they do js take you from place to place

hearty edge
#

sekx

uneven mortar
#

It would be fun, there would need to be a cooldown though so you can't just spam it and crush every enemy

#

It would be ideal for a huge open battlefield

frail bloom
#

Infact you can get two in a row sometimes

hearty edge
#

yea i've done that

topaz oasis
#

oh man that secret encounter in belly of the beast is insane

#

took me 9 minutes to beat it with double HP demons

uneven mortar
violet lynx
#

what gpu do i need to get 1440p 240fps nightmare settings in doom the dark ages, i currently have 3080

uneven mortar
#

It doesn't make sense from a gamefeel standpoint, your mass should be slamming into the enemy and missing the ground

frail bloom
#

Watch that, and look at the ground pound he does

#

It's waaaay different

uneven mortar
#

It would be cool if a couple levels had started with that huge shockwave in the middle of a battlefield

frail bloom
#

Ye did you see how seamless it was

uneven mortar
#

Like 50 demons are faltered, and you gotta pick your target

frail bloom
#

The feeling of that looked waaay better

fleet spruce
#

Shadow Warrior 2013 is Serious Sam/Painkiller-style shooter and is generally good time but i highly recommend not going for hard difficulty cause enemies are pretty spongy even after getting all the good stuff.
Shadow Warrior 2 tries to be like Borderlands, i didn't enjoy it as much personally.
Shadow Warrior 3 is fun but short, noticeably gameplay direction is inspired by modern Doom games, because it's short it's almost on par with Shadow Warrior 2 imo.

uneven mortar
frail bloom
#

He bashes smt and he falls down after

#

He doesn't go through them

#

He just suddenly stops

#

Like he hit a wall

uneven mortar
#

Oh yeah

frail bloom
#

But it's like one zombie

uneven mortar
#

I thought you meant the regular fall

frail bloom
#

In the trailer he goes through them

#

Like completely

#

And they fly in ragdolls

#

I'm pretry sure ingame currently they just explode

uneven mortar
#

Yeah that feels yuck and I only ever did it on heavies for strategy reasons

frail bloom
#

Not as funny

uneven mortar
#

It should realistically just be a harder slam on the ground that does extra single target damage

violet lynx
#

help what gpu do i need to get native 240fps in doom the dark ages

uneven mortar
#

Bro why do you need 240fps

#

Are you ultron

violet lynx
fleet spruce
#

your eyes can only see 8 GB RAM

uneven mortar
#

I'm pretty sure your eyes cant even detect that

frail bloom
#

I don't even know who's talking

violet lynx
frail bloom
#

Hol on

#

Oh.

uneven mortar
#

That must suck

frail bloom
#

Bruh I can't find Jim

#

Guess we'll never know

violet lynx
frail bloom
#

For now

violet lynx
#

120fps is pretty bad delay

#

i want native 240fps

#

plus i have 3080

uneven mortar
#

I will never play a game over 60fps, i don't want to get that brainrot

violet lynx
#

can you full enjoy a game like doom at 30fps?

#

i would assume not

fleet spruce
uneven mortar
violet lynx
#

i litterly makes perfect sense, 240fps is 2x 120, like 60 is 2x 30

uneven mortar
#

Like if i play a 30fps game i will get used to it after a few minutes
