Some new DOOM The Dark Ages DLC info:

- There will be a hub! (the Kreed Maykr ship probably?)
- Every mechanic that they will add will really make a difference (like how the Hammer was in TAG)
- Exploration will be prioritized in the DLC

[obsidian shard]

Yes that is DLC concept Art

However it is about 2 months old at this point

So they thought you ment a new one

[wheat sigil]

misinformation is okay, disinformation is not cool tho❌

[heady trout]

What is desinformation

[wheat sigil]

meant disinformation, but it's just intentionally spreading false info

misinformation is doing it unknowingly

[heady trout]

I don't mind intentionally spreading false info as long as ur next message is just "oh yeah I lied" and the context is appropriate (nobody actually believed them from the start and it was a joke, but In bigger servers like this that's basically impossible)

Nobody knows each other well enough to understand joke™/tone

[meager vortex]

misinformation=oh! i forgot this news dlc is still developing

disinformation=sorry i made up

[heady trout]

Liar lair pants on fire

[meager vortex]

even hugo he said dlc is developing

but shivero make a fake dlc news lol

[merry sapphire]

sorry

i felt Mischievous today

don't warry im just waiting dlc

[hazy pasture]

Howdy folks

[meager vortex]

howdy

[wheat sigil]

hai

[meager vortex]

balance patch is coming???

i think impaler will be back

because that weapon nerf+nerf

[solid nacelle]

I still think some of the maintains they added are a little ridiculous, especially when you have heavies that just respawn infinitely

[meager vortex]

and ripatorium map out bug

[wheat sigil]

you don't think hitscan from arachnotrons is fun while fighting an aggadon??

somehow makes aggadons even worse

[meager vortex]

i know why impaler is nerf twice because some one using impaler shoot the ahzrack balls

ahzrack:im eunuch?! noooo

[cerulean pagoda]

theres gonna be another balance patch?

[harsh egret]

its gonna be a smaller one

[cerulean pagoda]

if there will be i hope they increase the skill ceiling

[harsh egret]

nothing crazy like that

[cerulean pagoda]

make it so that parried projectiles go in the direction your camera is facing instead of just automatically going back towards the enemy

[harsh egret]

no

[cerulean pagoda]

alright

[harsh egret]

lmao

[mystic barn]

Not a bad idea though. Strategic parries like that would be pretty cool

[meager vortex]

i was hope new update is a master level

[mystic barn]

Master levels probably won’t be until after the DLC

[meager vortex]

because i have a skill issue from eternal master level

[warm ibex]

Hello Shivero. You shall begin balding at age 28, as I have cursed your bloodline

The price for lying to 둠더 다크에이지

[mystic barn]

Didn’t realise you were a TikTok witch

[warm ibex]

lmao

[meager vortex]

i heard master level is made by before ancient god part1?

[mystic barn]

That’s true, but for The Dark Ages, it seems all their focus is on the DLC first

[warm ibex]

I get the impression that really any post-launch content aside from DLC wasn't fully planned prior to release

which is why we'll likely see a lot of things like Ripatorium 2.0 and Master Levels closer to or after the expansion

[heady trout]

Lol

https://tenor.com/view/coolguy27reel-gif-6680533896154909280

[harsh egret]

I got the opposite impression tbh.
Hugo talked very shortly after launch that they will support the game with updates and content the same way they did for eternal, so master campaign coming before dlc seems pretty likely to me especially since dlc seems to be coming out like 9-10 months after launch (IF our estimations are correct).
And how long do they really wanna support the game with content, especially big updates like master campaign.
A ripatorium update could sure come after dlc tho, with new demons, arenas and new features.

[dusk current]

Is azathoth in the doom lore

[warm ibex]

During the first few Hugo streams they mentioned that they had just begun discussing the idea of Master Levels and The Ripatorium released in a bare bones state three months after launch

I personally don't think it's up for debate, they pretty clearly didn't have post launch content in the works (or even fully planned) prior to launch

[harsh egret]

i have no memory of that lol, i just know he tweeted like late may about it

but u could be right, not saying ur not

and i just dont think that as a game studio that you dont plan these things ahead of time

especially when u already know u will be working on a dlc post launch

[warm ibex]

I only know I'm right because Hugo said they were only "considering" doing master levels during the first stream and I sat in silence for like an hour debating if titling my video "master levels confirmed" would be considered clickbait lol

and then I beleive he said they decided on doing it during chapter three

[warm ibex]

plans change, it's not that cut and try

[frail bloom]

Ye Horde is right abt that

To me it sounds like they had some ideas but didn't commit until they saw what the community wanted

[warm ibex]

I was about to mention that, yes

[frail bloom]

They have the resources but they're trying to spread things out and prioritize what's important

People paid for the dlc, so the dlc should be top priority

Everything else is a bonus

But hey it's alr

They're gonna support the game clearly

It's more, is the community patient enough to wait

Which uhh

[harsh egret]

who's to say they arent done with master campaign tho, i highly doubt that the suddent shift to focusing on dlc means anything but that they are done with some of the big content thats coming, and I doubt that they worked on the ripatorium only during that time (which isnt much really) and now they take a break and thats it in terms of content until dlc

idk, until december comes, i will still believe that master campaign is coming this year

[frail bloom]

But they just said that they're only gonna release a small patch soon

Nothing abt when the master level campaign is coming

It is, but no date

[harsh egret]

yh but i doubt they are announcing that anyway

[solar cairn]

Most likely it is, because in Eternal there were master levels on the release, not all, but there were

[frail bloom]

You think they would even announce a master level campaign or just shadow drop it

[cursive grotto]

Passed resurrection on ultra nightmare

[harsh egret]

especially when i still think it will come like in november, so im not surprised they havent said anything yet

[cursive grotto]

Please pray for me guys

[warm ibex]

good work man! almost there

[cursive grotto]

Only 2 chapters left

[harsh egret]

if its like a month and a half away they have no reason to mention it on stream

theres still time for that, ill try ask next stream about that tbh, see if they can say if thats something we can expect before dlc or not

nothing too "revealing" i guess

[frail bloom]

Idk if they can really talk abt that

iirc they did say that they're cutting down on small patches

[cursive grotto]

I just tried final battle on my nightmare save and died twice in the atlan section lol. Not hopeful for this

[frail bloom]

If I'm correct they said that updates are much more spaced out

Am I right or wrong correct me

[solar cairn]

There, the missions of the campaign will end soon, after that only dlc..

[harsh egret]

anyway, i will still believe what i believe cuz to me it sounds plausible, cba to go and explain it over and over again cuz im the only one that thinks this i guess

[warm ibex]

it's super easy to get hit from behind in final battle, I think the best approach is to position yourself where you can see everything and nothing can surprise you from the back. So essentially corner yourself if possible, just be careful about it

[frail bloom]

Well I know that Ripatorium 2.0 is close to dlc since that lines up with melee and rune swap

Or most likely after dlc

So that only leaves the master level campaign

But Imo 22 levels is a lot to balance

And add new stuff to

It has to be appropiately engaging and reworked to be different from the base campaign

I knoe you hate ppl comparing dev time to covid, but 8 months for one master level speaks volumes

[harsh egret]

yh r u telling me for 3 months the content they worked on was ripatorium only? and then a month later announce they arent doing big patches anymore lol, at least it feels like a month between last stream and ripatorium update

[frail bloom]

No you're putting words in my mouth

[harsh egret]

im not, im just asking cuz thats what is being implied here

[frail bloom]

I'm saying with amt of work required , they might have to priotritize different things. They clearly worked on master levels, as Hugo played through some of them and talked abt them during the streams, but working on dlc, ripatorium and master level stuff is a lot and they clearly have to give attention the thing they believe is most important

[harsh egret]

oh well, fak it, it will come when it will come

[cerulean pagoda]

one of the rules says that we must protect daisy at all costs

[cerulean pagoda]

that actually happens now, no shame in that

[frail bloom]

Ok guys imma finish siege now

I hate this checkpoint

[cerulean pagoda]

seige checkpoints are hell

[frail bloom]

On max sliders too

[cerulean pagoda]

as well as that one checkpoint in the forsaken plains

[frail bloom]

UGH

[cerulean pagoda]

its hell on my max sliders playthrough

run across the entire map just to get to the arena you died on

[frail bloom]

I have one major fight left

And I ALWAYS spawn across the map

It's painful

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[green estuary]

Checkpoints in wide open maps are kinda aids in general

[frail bloom]

I never felt it before cuz I barely died

But now I'm dying to the smallest things and I spawn somewhere in Romania

Why do enemy projectiles pass through enemies

It's almost impossible to fight the cyberdemon

AND THIS CHECKPOINT

[topaz oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/source-metal-gear-rising-revengeance-senator-gif-2184767763330592857

Sorry, I had to do it

[cursive grotto]

Did final battle get changed at some point or something

I do NOT remember the atlan section being this hard

Last time I played it

[frail bloom]

I DIIIIIIIID IIITTT

OOOOOOHHN MYHH GOOODDD

[bitter dune]

Guys I had a dumb question sorry in advance lol. So you know the game gives you a crossbow that deletes all the enemies infront of you. I stopped playing the game right at this point then cameback to the game after a month. When I started chapter 15, I don't see the crossbow. Was this a one time side gun? Cuz I dont see it anywhere

[cursive grotto]

No it's a permanent weapon after you grab it

Can you show a screenshot

[frail bloom]

Uh why is the titan t-posing

[silent trail]

Rolled for intimidation and failed

[frail bloom]

#screenshots message

This game is held by toothpicks

[silent trail]

Hey, atleast it's not BF2042

[warm ibex]

yeah they added more enemies to compensate for the improved electric stomp move

abuse the fuck out of that stomp man, you can pretty easily use it over and over again if you just keep beating the shit out of everything that's stunned

and be sure not to hit any energy shields since that resets ability charges

[cursive grotto]

While we're here

Fuck the shielded titans

Garbage enemy to fight

[cerulean pagoda]

the shielded titans are the real hell

[warm ibex]

they're super annoying lol

[cursive grotto]

They randomly pull the shield out of their ass with no telegraphing and you just get damaged

[cerulean pagoda]

its spuer annoying when a random titan decides to interrupt you by shoving its club up your back leaving you open to get killed

[solid nacelle]

My biggest gripe right now with the mech sections is that when you dodge, there seems to be a tiny cooldown until you can dodge again, but you don't get any more invincibility frames so if you dodge one guy, you can potentially get hit by someone else the moment your dodge is over and you're just fucked

Would've been nice also if they allowed you to use low tier special moves without activating higher tier ones. If I have access to the mega punch, but a titan is shielding itself, I have to wait for him to put his shield down instead of just doing the stomp. Little things like that could go a decent way I think

[silent trail]

Especially when it's the cyclops attacking

[warm ibex]

The mech combat as a whole feels like it was designed specifically for one on one encounters

that's probably my biggest overall gripe with mech combat. it's not optimized for battles against multiple enemies at once even though nearly every single battle past the Barrier Core chaingun encounter features several enemies

[idle elk]

Overhyped mech sections

[warm ibex]

I like them and think they're fun

I just wish the combat system was a little more developed

[silent trail]

If there were more ranged attack options, it wouldn't be as bad

[warm ibex]

might help if the mech weapons were like ultimate abilities instead of dedicated segments

I don't like using the mech weapons for prolonged periods of time but being able to pull out the chaingun/cannon for a few seconds in the middle of a huge battle would be cool

[brittle bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/rabbit-bunny-grab-hand-meme-gif-9151059333928663509

[solid nacelle]

Tbh I don't think I would even be opposed to having atlan combat return for another game, provided it has more depth than it does in dark ages. Maybe if they didn't have to also do the dragon combat it could've been better

[warm ibex]

Yeah that was my thinking, cut the dragon and expand the atlan

early Atlan UI designs feature a missile swarm ability, even small things like that could go a long way

[ancient inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-external-doomguy-doom-slayer-raised-eyebrown-gif-24765324

[obsidian shard]

The stomp stops/disables their Shield

[frail bloom]

Finished siege p2

Easiest level I've done so far

[green estuary]

Yeah it’s not too bad aside from the final fight

On max sliders the cyberdemon + nightmare imp combo sounds like it would cause a lot of headaches

[frail bloom]

I stopped doing ancestral forest tho

Manc enforcer fight is aids

One whiplash projectile kills you

At max health

Just taking a break until I figure out the fight

[solar cairn]

Maximum sliders?

[frail bloom]

Yup

[solar cairn]

It’s not really a complicated arena, it’s just that 500 percent of the damage is too much

[frail bloom]

Well it's max sliders

It's non negotiable

I gotta go through it

[solar cairn]

Are you looking for a challenge before the release of the dlc?

[frail bloom]

I'm just looking to spend more time on the game

And prepare for the master level campaign

[solar cairn]

Ok, see you in six months

[frail bloom]

Uh I don't think it'll take me that long lol

I'll prob finish the run in November

Or this month if I play each day

[solar cairn]

I hope Hugo will give us a DLC trailer for the New Year holidays

[frail bloom]

I think that's likely

I think it's more likely in december

[solar cairn]

Here the whole chat will explode later because of the discussions

[frail bloom]

Ye

[supple wraith]

im at the begginging of ruyul and im stuck on a puzzle whit an elevator activated by the shield how do i do it

?

never mind gt it

actully i dont gt it ahhhhhhhh

[warm ibex]

just thought of something

we'll probably get to manually load ourselves into the Slayer Launcher on the Kreed's ship since the DLC will have a hub

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

[warm ibex]

that's gonna be funny

[harsh egret]

i also realised yesterday the area of the ship when the slayer was looking down in the final cutscene, it kinda resembled the fortress of doom

imma find a pic

[warm ibex]

I actually thought of that too!

noticed it while editing a few days ago

[harsh egret]

tbh tho i dont think they are connected

probably just a coincidence lmao

[frail bloom]

Alr I just finished ancestral forest

[frail bloom]

Well it's a ship that overlooks a large location that has the shape of an upside down triangle

It's just what ID sees when they think of a hub ship

[frail bloom]

Imma make my own cutscene

[obsidian shard]

Absolute DOOM

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/971218217852862544/1424556185729892352/20251004_233710.jpg?ex=68e460d5&is=68e30f55&hm=8a030575b1398b6fa374c6e93d3f807130220da334dd41b1c79340b479efca2c&

[frail bloom]

Oh muh god it's so doom

Doomin' it

[solid nacelle]

Imagine when you go to the hub between levels there's a different view to overlook each time

[frail bloom]

Oooohh muh god I would love that

[harsh egret]

Many cool things they could do

[frail bloom]

Cosmic galaxy backround

OOOOOOOOHHHH

I needs it

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

[cerulean pagoda]

i want the makyr ship as a hub area

[obsidian shard]

You won't believe what could be the hub

[cerulean pagoda]

and for the different cutscenes thing, i think that the cutscenes will be first person captured ones like 2016

[bitter dune]

I'll send it tomorrow thanks for your help🫡

[obsidian shard]

I hope not

I wanna see the slayer

Well actually,

If it has the Slayer doing stuff than yes

Instead of Standing in a room Listening to someone yap

[mystic barn]

I don’t think it would be that different. I reckon they’ll just get rid of the letterboxing and that’s it

[obsidian shard]

Ehhh Dino! How ya doing, also how is the OST Remix coming along?

[obsidian shard]

Pursuit of Demons is a very Unique Track

its soo different compared to everthing else

in a good way

It starts kinda upbeaty, than moves to some subtlety, then to a more heavy vibe with chanting for the rest of the song!

[warm ibex]

I don't think they'll drop the letterboxing after they've committed to it

judging by the game's ending I feel like the DLC will be a solo Slayer mission, so Hugo could be referring to finding a way to tell the story through cutscenes without any vocals

[unkempt dragon]

[warm ibex]

more action-oriented than the base campaign, perhaps

[unkempt dragon]

no reason. Just love that emoji lol^

[warm ibex]

it's a good one lol

[unkempt dragon]

look in #general

[obsidian shard]

Genius

I mean if you think about it

They are better off on his own

[solar cairn]

I want to see the doomguy launch animation like from the debut trailer from the Xbox presentation, where it crashes into the ground like a projectile

[obsidian shard]

Intro cinematic

[obsidian shard]

Also I just realized but we will have 3 TDA Slayer Statues this year:
Collectors Edition Statue (200$)
Prime 1 Studio Statue (1.5K-2K$ - Est)
Dark Horse Direct Statue (200$)

and 1 Demon (Imp Stalker) from Prime 1 Studio (700-1.5K$ - Est)

[warm ibex]

I still wonder if they'll sell the collector's edition statue separately

[obsidian shard]

I Highly Doubt it, CE for a reason,

Like the Eternal Helmet

(Wish they would sell it separately)

[warm ibex]

although Eternal's was specifically labeled as a collector's edition, this one was only sold on the gear store and was labeled a as "collector's bundle"

[obsidian shard]

That is True

i mean look at the Keycards

but gotta keep some of it "Collectors" (Steelbook and Statue)

[warm ibex]

The most recent Bethesda release, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, had a specifically labeled collector's edition that was sold everywhere too

[warm ibex]

I think they'll keep some of it exclusive

selling the statue separately without the keycard or steelbook

the packaging also reminds me of something from a standard product that's been modified to be a sort of collector's edition

all just speculation of course

[obsidian shard]

Same

Guess we will have to wait and see

Also that DHD Statue should be released later this year

Also DOOM Arena Board Game Launch was delayed (Modipihus Discord was talking about it)

[warm ibex]

ah that's disappointing, do they have a date yet?

[obsidian shard]

There was but they took the post down, so no.

[warm ibex]

wonder if it was posted too early

or changed to another date, probably

[midnight cedar]

This is probably the case

IIRC act man, under the mayo, and midnight made a video where they talked about TDA

and they kinda had a discussion how TDA goes way too far with the cutscenes

and that it should've been similar to 2016/eternal

I remember Hugo commenting under the video so he 100% heard what they said

plus I've seen other reviewers complain too

and judging from id's past

they probably took it to heart and might be toning down the cutscenes

[solar cairn]

It’s crazy how Hugo listens to the community

[midnight cedar]

yeah

I really appreciate how they always try and listen to the fans

complaints typically never fall on deaf ears

[obsidian shard]

Kinda glad they are but also upset as TDA cutscenes were Awesome, If they do tone them down; I hope they add more stuff to the codex instead!

As the lore is an awesome bit of the new games that I'm EXTREMELY Invested in.

[uneven dragon]

i liked them more than eternal's tbh

[random sand]

Can't say i've seen midnight say something like that. All he does is praise the game mostly

[midnight cedar]

https://youtu.be/TAa8cuIR1Lc?si=duF4Jvnwp4PedKI0

It’s possible I’m mistaken since the video was released 3 months ago

[random sand]

who knows. i'll check it out when i got time

[midnight cedar]

I personally prefer 2016’s style but at the same time I do get the appeal of how TDA does it

[midnight cedar]

No worries mate

[midnight cedar]

Same man

I love the lore and am happy either way

[uneven dragon]

oh 2016 is still my fave no doubt

[midnight cedar]

My bad, didn’t know you were goated like that

[random sand]

it's up to preference. i personally prefer tda because i like its more cinematic approach. i like seeing doom slayer in cutscenes since he's the most badass character i know

[midnight cedar]

Exactly, it’s mostly up to what you prefer

But even though it’s not my favorite

[uneven dragon]

2016's unbroken first person perspective was the coolest tbh

also fits doomguy as a character the most imo

[midnight cedar]

I will admit TDA’s cinematic are genuinely a work of art

[midnight cedar]

I also find it kind of adds a layer of mystery to his character

Which is also why I prefer the tinted visor over the clear one

[random sand]

i think how they did it works beautifully for the trilogy. 2016 is more mysterious with it being the first in the reboot series, eternal keeps the msyteriousness but throws in some actual cutscenes here and there too to expand the character. tda goes full in on the cutscenes to fully expand the character

it'll be interesting to see how they do the next doom game. my prediction is they'll go back to movement but not as insane as eternal. could perhaps combine both eternal and tda

[uneven dragon]

im just happy we finally have a good doomguy model

and not eternal's chopped asf guy who looks literally nothing like classic doomguy at all 😭

[random sand]

he's always looked good fym 😭

[random sand]

none of the reboot ones look like the classic doomguy 😭

[uneven dragon]

TDA Doomguy is close enough

[uneven dragon]

I mean the actual human model

crazy thing is that quake champions had a really good 3d doomguy face and then eternal still somehow dropped the ball

[random sand]

i'd say eternal slayer does resemble him a decent amount. i actually like it because he looks older which makes sense. in tda he looks younger since he is younger there

[heady trout]

The Samuel yap vs the unwavering silence of the Slayer is truly something to behold

[uneven dragon]

eternal slayer has the wrong hair colour even 😭

and his head is basically square somehow

[random sand]

he has the same hair color in tda

[uneven dragon]

yeah but in tda he also looks more like an actual human so it's more excusable

and is generally more accurate

[heady trout]

Why does he look so weird in Eternal

[uneven dragon]

https://i.imgur.com/dMpONGN.png

this is probably still the most accurate* face doomguy has had in 3d tho

[heady trout]

Even his hair?

Well at least the edges

[random sand]

Id improved on making models. look at the models from 2016/eternal and tda. it's night and day. they really stepped it up with 'em

[uneven dragon]

im very confused as to how they cant fucking get his eye colour right ever

[random sand]

i prefer what they did with him in the games. this is not it 😭

[uneven dragon]

he has blue eyes in the classics!!! why does he have green and brown in eternal and tda???

[uneven dragon]

🤷‍♀️ it's the only one to actually look like the guy tho

[random sand]

have you seen those "remaking classic bowser in HD" pics? yeah, those show why the new design is far better. same here. it resembling the classic look does not mean it'll look good

[uneven dragon]

looks pretty good imo 🤷‍♀️

[random sand]

maybe it's the pose he does or the facial expression but he looks just silly here. not threatening at all 😭

[uneven dragon]

also modern bowser isn't 1:1 but is pretty accurate to smb3 bowser like

idk if bowser is exactly comparable

[random sand]

i meant the original one from the first game

[uneven dragon]

i mean sure but that guy had a lot less detail than doomguy did

and still "HD/3D" bowser is based on a classic bowser like his second ever appearance

like bowser does actually have consistency to him

and even then the only change between smb1 and 3 is the hair and eyebrows

[random sand]

ofc they're similar but that one change means alot. their sprites are very different. but no matter. i personally like his redesign because he looks more like just a regular guy. which he was until the demons came

[uneven dragon]

🤷‍♀️

[alpine pilot]

where doom

guys how do i fix high dpi scaling for all programs on win11

I do wonder if I keep playing TDA if Earth will hold any relevance, considering the bizzare timeline I'm assuming either humans are super primitive or straight up don't exist by this point in time

Fuck I wouldn't be surprised if dinosaurs were roaming earth, cause it's not really explained how much time The Slayer spent in hell after the betrayer's betrayal

[random sand]

i think it's 2 seperate universes. actually, now that i think about it. where the hell is the sentinel cities even located. can't be the same earth doom slayer is on during eternal/2016

[heady trout]

And when the whole Sentinel thing happened in relation to how far away from humanities uprising it was time wise

[heady trout]

Argent d'nur

Different planet that is similar to Earth

[random sand]

a planet far away from earth?

[heady trout]

Yes

Sentinels can travel in-between solar systems

[random sand]

that's probably the most confusing thing about the doom lore. where shit is located

[heady trout]

Also yes there's a Doom multiverse, more than one earth and all, but the Earth in 2016-Eternal is in TDA too

Just y'know, super primitive I suppose

The multiple Earth's come about when they try to connect the original Doom games to the new ones

Somehow Doomguy went to hell and out and found himself in a different reality or something, original one was the Doom 1 & 2 (maybe 64 idk) and the new one was the 2016, Eternal and TDA reality

Do keep in mind there's only one hell though

Probably a bridge between realities

[random sand]

"and this will be another world that you brought to extinction". khan maykr can't have just been saying that to bring his spirit down. she meant something with that

[heady trout]

What she meant was argent d'nur

Doomguy didn't necessarily bring the original Doom 1 and 2 Earth to extinction he was just saving it

[random sand]

that falling wasn't his fault tho. he just failed to save them

[heady trout]

But by "showing" the demons to the Khan Makyr everything went to shit

Yeah Khan Makyr is bs'ing

But she's not referring to the original Earth bc in no way shape or form is that Doomguys fault

While you could make a bs argument that he unintentionally ruined argent d'nur by "revealing" the existence of demons to the Makyrs

Which is even more bs bc how tf did basically the queen of false prophet heaven not know of hell

[random sand]

that's just a load of bs

[heady trout]

And considering Davoth and how confusing and convoluted the Eternal lore is

She's even more bs'ing, that line doesn't make sense

Again being a true false prophet by lying ❤️

[random sand]

no better way of doing it :)

assuming she lied about the whole "i know of what you have left behind. go back to it then, you cannot save them. they have asked me for this, and so i give it to them. if you let the priest live, then i will return to you what the demons took from you so long ago. you need only turn back and it will be yours again" as well

[heady trout]

Oh totally

[random sand]

even doom slayer smelled the bs from that

[heady trout]

Doom Slayer can smell bs better than anyone, the only reason Samuel got the upper hand once was bc he caught him off guard and installed something onto him

[uneven dragon]

64 is in the same universe as 1 + 2 (and final and lor and-)

[heady trout]

Nice

I'm glad bc well, cool story

[random sand]

samuel's the only one who can get the better of doom slayer because he has studied him. learned how he operates

[heady trout]

He only got the upper hand once tbf

[random sand]

yes he wouldn't be able to do it any more and he knew that. but that one time was enough

he knew doom slayer would be coming back for the demonic crucible and him

[mystic barn]

Ooh I like that

[mystic barn]

Yeah it’s basically all done, I just need to edit the video. I’m also working on a remix of the Dusk score. I like Andrew Hulshult’s music, but man, the Dusk score is just so repetitive

[uneven dragon]

erebus reaction is banging

[fleet spruce]

Beneath the Altar

[covert goblet]

Does anyone have any idea what pelt was used for the slayer's cape?

(Like, it survived acid and then resurrection. That's some strong fur)

[cerulean pagoda]

dang, his face looks square

they told him to be there or be square and he wasnt there

[cerulean pagoda]

idk im guessing its made of the skin of an animalistic demon

[uneven dragon]

not as square as eternalguy

[cerulean pagoda]

[solid nacelle]

I always assumed it came from an agaddon hunter

[silent trail]

I miss being able to swap the weapon attachments. It would be so useful to swap between Ricochet and pin cushion.

EDIT: In combat I mean

[alpine pilot]

where

[silent trail]

where what?

[alpine pilot]

doom

where

[wintry nexus]

Did they confirm i could switch to any melee weapons mid combat in the future?

I remember hearing that from somewhere

[cursive grotto]

Could we count ahzrak as someone who got the better of the doom slayer since he's clearly way stronger and more durable in phase 1 and 2, even manages to stab the slayer too

[random sand]

even with the heart of argent, doom slayer beat him. sure, Serrat came to save him, but i don't think it was nescessary

[cursive grotto]

Seeing ||serrat die|| was definitely necessary to give him a big strength boost as seen in phase 3's animations

Slayer goes from doing nothing to ahzrak to overpowering him

[random sand]

probably something to cover up since it's a spoiler

[cursive grotto]

Right

[random sand]

it made him mad but i think it would end that way either way since he did make him bleed even before it

[cursive grotto]

Maybe but idk man

Ahzrak only got a small cut on his cheek

Doom guy was struggling pretty bad in comparison

[warm ibex]

Melee weapon and rune swapping was confirmed, yeah

supposed to be releasing closer to the DLC

Thx

[warm ibex]

@harsh egret I sent doom dominion a direct message, we'll see if he has a source

[cursive grotto]

Bro

I just passed final battle on my ultra nightmare save

I am actually terrified rn for reckoning

[warm ibex]

nah if you can deal with the overcrowded mech battles and enhanced ahzrak then reckoning will be no problem at all

don't get in your own head bro, this is nothing. Just be mindful of that one buffed Hunter encounter

[cursive grotto]

Normally i fight that agaddon buffed for fun

But i ain't screwing around in my ultra nightmare save

Call me a coward if you want

[harsh egret]

yep yep

[harsh egret]

that is fkin cool

i might get, dont know

[obsidian shard]

115 USD

WAYYYY CHEAPER than the Prime1

10" tall

12" Long

11" Wide

10lbs

The Description of the Statue goes HARD

A specter of DOOM from realms unknown, the Outlander stalks Argent D'Nur's battlefields with a fury that silences all who witness it. Though strange to Sentinel eyes, they recognized in his bloodlust a terrible ally when Hell's legions darkened their skies. As demons hunt for forgotten relics the Slayer strains against divine chains, his protection of the besieged realm born not of loyalty but of an unquenchable thirst for demon blood that neither Hell nor Heaven can sate

[warm ibex]

now that the boys have had their fun

it's time for the men to get their $135 10" tall Imp Stalker statue

[obsidian shard]

MANCUBUS STATUE

PLEASE

[warm ibex]

why not all the demons!

[obsidian shard]

I'm on my knees weeping

[warm ibex]

damn that is hard as fuck

they can really cook when they want to

[obsidian shard]

I gotta know whose in charge of writing those things cause god damn

[harsh egret]

only 115?

[obsidian shard]

yup

Plus what Shipping

But 115 is final price after Tax!

[harsh egret]

is it only in the US?

or is there a EU shop

[obsidian shard]

Its Worldwide off of Dark Horse Direct

Should be out for Pre-order on October 9th

as thats when the Pre-Pre-order ends

[obsidian shard]

World-wide

[harsh egret]

ok sick

im probably getting it

its 2 inches shorter than the collectors edition statue

but i think thats mainly the base itself being shorter, which im fine with

the slayer should be around the same size ish

[obsidian shard]

It's longer and Wider than The CE however

[supple oracle]

[uneven dragon]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 🥹

[wintry nexus]

I NEED THAT

[unkempt dragon]

He sacrificed himself for you bro🙏

[heady trout]

Okay on my new playthrough I managed to do the first level 100% without dying on Nightmare, died a bunch on the last arena of Hebeth and didn't die once during the mech level

Fucking fire, but yeah that last arena of Hebeth has so many enemies at one point

[obsidian shard]

Hi Samir

[frail bloom]

Huh so there's a chance that how they tell the story will change with what the story is. So far we're thinking a solo doomguy mission? I don't necessarily agree with that as Hugo himself has said that they're going to develop Marok and Valen's character in the dlc, I just think Thira and Novik are gonna have very marginal roles. I think they will also focus on Doomguy's emotional state and priorities aswell

[frail bloom]

Hello

[obsidian shard]

Hoping its this

Samir Luck

[frail bloom]

Gonna align my chakras for y'all

Ooga booga

[frail bloom]

So enemy projectiles can damage other enemies?

New strat unlocked

[frail bloom]

Can't be, as Hugo said he wanted to expand Marok and Valen's character. I think the Slayer will handle the mission on his own but we're def gonna see other characters, which means dialogue. Me personally while I think Marok and Valen will have larger roles, I think Thira and Novik's roles are gonna be much more diminished

Even if Marok is even flatter of a character then them he's so flat that he needs character development or his eventual death is just wasted potential

#screenshots message

Here's my source

It doesn't say dlc but I'd assume he'd do this in dlc

[obsidian shard]

Hugo you Sexy Bastard you giving out to much

[frail bloom]

This was months ago

He was on vacay so he was bored

I'd be bored too big man

[unkempt dragon]

bordering parasocial my guy 😂

[frail bloom]

Nah trust he can read this chat

Me and Hugo go way back

Right Josh

[unkempt dragon]

😂😝

[frail bloom]

[obsidian shard]

Josh is def stalking the chat rn

[unkempt dragon]

I don't think so

[frail bloom]

🕵️

[obsidian shard]

Trust 🙏

[unkempt dragon]

lol not like I talk to him everyday or smthn

[frail bloom]

So just to ask, what do the little symbols mean on a persons profile. Sometimes it's red, or green, or a moon, or shows a phone

Don't know what they mean

[unkempt dragon]

But guys, I still need to finish TDA. Still. I know. I've been too distracted by life but I wanna do it soon

[frail bloom]

I think a grey halo means they're not online

[frail bloom]

Well luckily for you there's no deadline so take as much time as you need

[unkempt dragon]

Yes. Green is online. Grey is away. Yellow moon is afk but may be online, or inactive, red is do not disturb

[frail bloom]

Ok I see

Sneaky do you know what that means

[obsidian shard]

what LM Said

Im Editing some Funny clips rn

[frail bloom]

Raise your hand if the dlc in your opinion should include more comedy bits

I just put mine there

Excellent discussion

[unkempt dragon]

lol

there now you have two

[frail bloom]

Yay

[supple oracle]

There so many comedy moments in dark ages, one them when you shield break when fighting the Agaddon hunter you can't do nothing expect laugh and die

[warm ibex]

Did he say that in reference to the DLC though? I recall that being a general statement and not DLC info

[supple oracle]

All I know hugo said in dlc they NOT will end the valen son story or the slayer

[frail bloom]

No I just clarified that he was speaking generally, so you can make the argument that it might be slayer only

My mistake

Me personally I don't think it's gonna be just him

[warm ibex]

omg hi saleem good to see you!!

[supple oracle]

HORDE MY MAN

[unkempt dragon]

ello Hordemodegaming and Saleem from Bloodswamps

[warm ibex]

we come from the swamps...

[frail bloom]

Or when 30 stone imps pile on you on max slider speed with no ammo left

[solid nacelle]

I hope we get more funny moments like when I try to kick a whiplash or imp stalker but then it locks onto some fodder demon that entered the frame at the very last second

[frail bloom]

No why do we keep talking abt bugs lol

[solid nacelle]

Because they're so funny and hilarious

[frail bloom]

I mean moments like the payment required scene

Like intentional

[supple oracle]

Blood swamps is bad repetition for me

[warm ibex]

I think it would be kinda funny if king novik made that "he's better off on his own" comment and then we end up spending most of the DLC interacting with sentinels

[unkempt dragon]

nah goated

[frail bloom]

No no I don't think he's gonna interact with the sentinels I just mean that we're gonna see other sentinel characters

[heady trout]

Okay died only once in the final boss of Sentinel Barracks and got 100%, this game is interesting

[frail bloom]

Less so Thira and Novik

[solid nacelle]

What if they have two separate storylines where the slayer is doing his own thing but the sentinels also have something else going on and it converges at the end

[frail bloom]

They're kinda boring

[harsh egret]

they can make them not boring in the dlc

[frail bloom]

That's actually what I think yeah

[frail bloom]

Impossible

[harsh egret]

even tho i dont rly agree, i think they r fine

[warm ibex]

Being entirely honest the only sentinel shit I'm all that interested in is seeing how the relationship between the Slayer and Novik is built up

[frail bloom]

They're pretty boring

[solid nacelle]

Thira is literally just a walking macguffin

[frail bloom]

Ngl

Imo, disagree all you want, but ID should hire some writers

Like actual professionals

[supple oracle]

Not big fan of these type stories, Doom Is always about the doom slayer, it will feel weird for me atleast

[frail bloom]

And not Hugo

[unkempt dragon]

lol why

[frail bloom]

Well he can give ideas

[harsh egret]

that i dont necessarily disagree with but i also dont think new writers will instantly fix all the issues

[frail bloom]

But the writers will tie his ideas together

[frail bloom]

I'm not sure they even have professional writers

[supple oracle]

Rather focus in gameplay more then the story

[harsh egret]

isnt it more or less the same people as for 2016 and eternal? with hugo at the helm of that role sorta

[frail bloom]

Well doesn't mean I haven't thought the same before

This goes for eternal aswell

They nailed 2016 tho

Imo

[harsh egret]

well then they can keep the same writers and just change the actual storytelling of the game

[warm ibex]

I don't think id needs professional writers, I think they just need to sorta take a step back and see what people really want out of a Doom narrative. As a whole we're far past that outdated carmack quote, but I'm not so certain they're delivering on the narrative elements in a way that satisfies most folks in the way 2016 (and even Eternal) did

[frail bloom]

My thought process was that they're incapable of that lol

[supple oracle]

Dark ages story was good enough

[frail bloom]

Hopefully I'm wrong

[warm ibex]

most certainly are!

[frail bloom]

Yipee

Ceritfied Samir classic

[harsh egret]

its a good story on paper but not really presented in the best way possible i suppose

[unkempt dragon]

Hi Hato

[harsh egret]

eyo

[supple oracle]

Still better then Eternal story

Atleast until the campagin

[warm ibex]

I agree on that

especially with TAG and TAG2

[unkempt dragon]

I blame Covid

[obsidian shard]

Same

Ohh howdy Saleem

[supple oracle]

TAG 1 It not good and not bad, but TAG 2 it become a disaster

[frail bloom]

It was a travesty

[obsidian shard]

I liked it, It at the very least is very cool

Hype moments and Aura as them kids say

[frail bloom]

Even Hugo agrees

Big dog speakin facts once again

[supple oracle]

Dark ages story it like a super hero story, they can't go wrong LOL

[obsidian shard]

Very true

Coolness is cool

[frail bloom]

Ye I'm glad dark ages didn't ruin anything for me

Unlike le Tag

[supple oracle]

The best part It all the event that happen,the slayer is the super star

[harsh egret]

both eternal and dark ages got good stories. tho i have to agree with samir i loved how 2016 did cutscenes/enviromental storytelling/side characters/whatever, im also fine with reading pages of codexes, kinda used to it at this point.
maybe they can do it sorta like 2016 but amp it up a bit

[warm ibex]

I like the TDA story as a whole. Not generational but solid and satisfying for the most part

[frail bloom]

A good 6.5

[frail bloom]

Yes I agreeeeee

[obsidian shard]

Precisely

[warm ibex]

I'd like a mix of both personally. Eternal and 2016 are both missing that raw anger 2016's first person cutscenes had

[frail bloom]

Missing some underlying tones and decisions aswell

[harsh egret]

probably cuz the slayer wasnt as angry before that

[frail bloom]

What I mean is that moment where slayer backs up vega

Things easy to miss

[harsh egret]

i read that wrong

[frail bloom]

But mean so much

And some frickin comedy

Some cheesiness

[supple oracle]

Gameplay should be the first priority, which for Eternal They nailed it, Same for TAG 1

[frail bloom]

Duh but I want everything good

Me want everything good

[harsh egret]

i still think it is the main priority

[frail bloom]

No one is arguing against that

[supple oracle]

Not in this life LOL

[frail bloom]

But me want good

[warm ibex]

one problem I think modern Doom is suffering from is wanting to tell a larger, more thorough story but still having to keep the cutscenes relatively short. This is starting to lead to underdeveloped storylines where solutions kinda have to be handed to the characters

imo best example is the Slayer's Maykr imprisonment. It's so short that it doesn't have any real impact but they couldn't have really kept it going since the Slayer needed to be capable of making his own decisions so the story could maintain a higher level of meaning

[supple oracle]

Bad stuff in games can be good things, we can make memes and laugh at it LOL

[warm ibex]

true lol

[frail bloom]

Where's the memes

Where's the memes John

Where are they

[frail bloom]

Or the slayer with his dragon

[warm ibex]

yeah that's another good one

[midnight cedar]

Depends what kind of comedy bits you mean

If it’s like the slayer shooting the boat captain in the face

[frail bloom]

This

[midnight cedar]

100% yes

[frail bloom]

Yup

[midnight cedar]

Well you have my vote

[frail bloom]

The people have spoken

[midnight cedar]

Stand up comedy in DLC confirmed?

[supple oracle]

You boi is funny

[midnight cedar]

I fucking love making corny jokes

Just for myself

[supple oracle]

3eb 🤫

[frail bloom]

I tried looking up doom jokes on an ai thing

It was horrible.

Not even laughably bad

Just, bad.

[midnight cedar]

That’s kind of the experience you get when searching up jokes anywhere

[frail bloom]

But these are just garbage

[midnight cedar]

I agree don’t get me wrong

But I feel like if you ever search up jokes on google or something similar it’ll just be terrible

[frail bloom]

I'm going to send one

[midnight cedar]

I’m listening

[frail bloom]

Y'all prepare your eyes

What did the demon say when Doomguy walked in?

"Game over for you!"

[supple oracle]

[midnight cedar]

[frail bloom]

And this isn't even the worst one

[midnight cedar]

Out of the million ways that joke could’ve ended

I wasn’t expecting that

[frail bloom]

Genuinely horrible

[unkempt dragon]

you're the worst lol

[frail bloom]

Wny did the demon invade the Argentinian pizzeria?

[supple oracle]

YoU CaNt sHoOT A hOLe oF suRFaCe OF mARS

[frail bloom]

Because it heard the pizzas were to die for!!!!

AHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA

Not even the worst one

[midnight cedar]

I’m not sure what’s more impressive

That the joke is so bad

Or that they randomly decided to make the pizzeria Argentinian

[frail bloom]

What do you call a demon that loves to dance

A hell of a mover

https://tenor.com/view/lobotomy-gif-17167871613916111579

[midnight cedar]

That’s a knee slapper right there

[supple oracle]

I identify as a stop sign, STOP!!!

[frail bloom]

Why did Doomguy bring ladder to a demon party

He wanted to take his revenge to new heights

Kill me.

[midnight cedar]

I just might

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-24107071

[midnight cedar]

I feel like I need to take a walk and think about my life choices

[unkempt dragon]

stoppp

[solid nacelle]

I'm more than halfway through the campaign doing mayo's brawler jolt challenge, and man it really feels like you're fighting the controls more than the demons themselves sometimes. Playing normally helps mitigate this since you have access to all your powerful tools and upgrades but when you have to rely on melee and parrying nonstop, it's pretty apparent

[midnight cedar]

I remember having a similar feeling after trying his Eternal brawler mode

It felt so weird not having access to what was like half my kit

But in TDA it’s probably much worse

Good luck on your playthrough btw

[solar spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/b99-captainholt-holt-raymondholt-pain-gif-8793717

Is what I'm experiencing

[cursive grotto]

Brawler mode just doesn't seem like my thing

But I would actually want to try a run one day where I only use the shield and melee

ONLY gauntlet

True brawler mode

[green estuary]

limiting yourself to just two guns in a game where every gun is sick as hell is just such a boring concept

[frail bloom]

That goes against the game tho

[midnight cedar]

Unless you’re a masochist

[frail bloom]

So not worth it

[midnight cedar]

You won’t like brawler mode

[frail bloom]

I'll stick to max sliders thanks

[cursive grotto]

We're fist fighting ahzrak with this one

[topaz oasis]

Doable tbh

[frail bloom]

Y'all how is Ancestral forge on max sliders

[green estuary]

doesn't even sound that bad tbh, with the exception of some of the bosses
the real challenge would be finding a reason to get excited to play the game for 23 chapters in the lamest way possible

[harsh egret]

exactly my reaction after watching mayos vid

didnt even consider giving it a try for one second

[frail bloom]

Imagine using pulverizer for the entire run

[midnight cedar]

In my eyes being boring is worse than being difficult

[frail bloom]

Oof

[solid nacelle]

It's not that bad when you get used to it tbh

[green estuary]

I'm sure difficulty-wise it isn't that bad

[frail bloom]

But muh boomstick

[solid nacelle]

The problem is most of my deaths are caused by parry/melee related bugs that shouldn't have happened in the first place

[midnight cedar]

Pulverizer slander will NOT be tolerated here

[frail bloom]

It is pretty useful on max sliders

I'll give you that

Spray and pray

[cursive grotto]

Pulverizer is what I used for like half of my ultra nightmare run

[green estuary]

such as

[cursive grotto]

My top 3 weapons were the combat shotgun, impaler and pulverizer

Yes the combat shotgun, not ssg

[midnight cedar]

That’s right

[cursive grotto]

The constant armor regen just comes in so handy

[green estuary]

boring ahh

[midnight cedar]

Pulverizer is genuinely one of my favorite guns simply because of the speed boost and crowd control

Plus it’s cool as hell

[green estuary]

I will always make fun of people who abuse the impaler just because of how comical its aim assist is

[cursive grotto]

I only really used it for the last 2 chapters tbh

Against ahzrak

[midnight cedar]

Tbh do people still abuse the Impaler?

[cursive grotto]

The entire rest of the time it was combat shotgun, pulverizer and rocket launcher

PARRY CHARGED ROCKET MY GOAT

[midnight cedar]

I remember using it a lot in the first month or two

[green estuary]

I mean it's still the most busted gun in the game, so yeah

[midnight cedar]

I don’t really use it all that much anymore

[green estuary]

you get almost free headshots that deal close to point-blank SSG level damage

[midnight cedar]

Oof

Yeah that’s definitely getting nerfed lol

[green estuary]

this is after getting nerfed

twice

[midnight cedar]

That’s rough

[green estuary]

and for whatever reason, bosses take increased damage from it

[midnight cedar]

So good thing I always use Impaler for bosses

[green estuary]

like apparently ahzrak taking 125% damage from the impaler is balanced but he can't take more than 30% damage from the ravager
shit's lame as hell

[midnight cedar]

Especially Azhrak with all his parryable attacks

[cursive grotto]

So that's why literally every gameplay video on YouTube uses impaler for ahzrak

[green estuary]

well, indirectly yeah
I'm sure most of them don't know exactly how much increased damage he's taking but intuitively it's the obvious choice

although this is more just me ranting about id's obsession with damage mitigation
why tf isn't it possible to just balance the enemies and weapons properly without having to use an A to Z table for each enemy to see how much damage they're gonna take from a given attack

[solid nacelle]

One that messes me up constantly is where you're in the middle of a melee combo, and you need to parry something but can't because you're in a melee animation but you press the block input anyway, the shield doesn't come out, but after a few seconds, the game forces you to bring it up despite no additional input. I've also had it where I'm about to go in for a kick against a heavy demon, but some knucklehead fodder enters the frame at the last second and so the game just pivots and makes you kick the fodder instead, wasting my kick and also briefly disorienting. Oh and that one ridiculous bug where if you melee a dazed demon right at the end of the daze period, it just doesn't kill them and you lose

[neon perch]

It dawned on me that this game would kick fucking ass in VR.

Be a much better fit than 2016.

[cursive grotto]

The 2nd issue literally happened to me once in eternal and I'm still pissed. I was going to crucible an archvile in the sgn master level but some goofy ass imp tanked it in the last second

[midnight cedar]

2016 doesn’t have a vr game

[neon perch]

Yeah I forgot, it never existed.

There is no such thing.

[midnight cedar]

It was just an illusion

well, that last one isn't a bug, that's just how modern doom games are
meleeing a dazed/staggered enemy just as they're exiting that state was a concern all the way back in 2016--if you're in doubt as to whether you'll make it to them in time, just shoot them instead of meleeing
that second thing also isn't a bug, just unlucky--same thing as a fodder enemy walking in front of a staggered heavy or the like in eternal, and instead of getting a glory kill, you get punch-boosted into the air; not really sure there's anything the game itself could fix to alleviate this
never encountered the first one though

[solid nacelle]

Eh I guess

This is what the first example looks like

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1378414770763595933/1424874488889344000/YouCut_20251006_144159629.mp4?ex=68e58947&is=68e437c7&hm=748efdf4fc3fee9b325f95431e25bda22367b911111444726dafb665c0f1a30d&

[midnight cedar]

Good to know I’m not the only one who’s experienced that

I’ve also seen a bug where for some reason the pinky rider will wait until you get out of cover to shoot its projectile (the fast one)

[half marlin]

yoo thanks for pointing it out, I simply couldn't find words to describe it lmao

[surreal ridge]

hi everyone, i have a issue with the doom the dark ages... i... get stuck in a tree...

I don't know what to do XD

[heady trout]

The running theme I have with this game is doing a clean 100% Nightmare run of a chapter and dying in the last arena at least once

[gusty seal]

Its an experience that brings us all together

[green estuary]

I wonder if this might be a gauntlet-specific thing
because whenever I use the flail (aka all the time), I never seem to run into this
although maybe that's just because I tend to not combo my melee when I'm expecting an incoming attack

[scenic lichen]

does anyone here know if theres a mod that reduces ammo drops to the lowest resource setting without changing health/armor drops?

[green estuary]

well, I have mod up on nexus that makes the csg/flail/ground fissure drop extra armor, which would let you drop the resource values slider and still get semi-reasonable armor values
but afaik there's nothing to do the same with health drops as of now, sorry

[scenic lichen]

link it pls? that sounds fantastic

i hate health/armor drops on the lowest resource setting but i like ammo because it doesnt feel as generous

[green estuary]

https://www.nexusmods.com/doomthedarkages/mods/46

[scenic lichen]

ahhh you've blessed me thank you

[green estuary]

no problem

[scenic lichen]

ohh

i just read the stats, this is exactly what i wanted

[green estuary]

well bear in mind health drops are still gonna be reduced
although since the cannibalism upgrade from the rocket launcher doesn't actually drop any health and is tied to the amount of self-damage you receive, its healing is not affected by resource sliders

hence why it's the best healing option at low resource sliders once you can get your hands on it, especially with blood sacrifice

[scenic lichen]

yeah but id rather this mod + low hp drops + fine ammo drops than low hp/armor drops and fine ammo

[green estuary]

fair

[scenic lichen]

this is enough to make me play on lowest resource slider

[heady trout]

Holy shit I'm looking at the chapter image for seige

IS THAT TARAS NABAD AHHH IM SO HYPED

Or is it Excultia, both places are fire but please let me play in Taras Nabad again I loved that location in Eternal

[half marlin]

nah taras nabad is right after divinity machine process
when slayer crucibled a titan
also I wonder if we'll ever play actual taras nabad siege

will there be another prequel lol

[idle sleet]

I’m giving up my Pandemonium run. Bug keeps resetting level progress after I finish it. Submitted a bug. Hopefully they fix it.

le sigh

[hearty edge]

mines are accelerator, rocket and ssg

[solid nacelle]

A pre-prequel, if you will

[cerulean pagoda]

i know hugo said that theyre having too much fun exploring the prequel medevial thing of doom so we will 100% get more prequels

[frail bloom]

Oh ye that's just buffering

It's the most egregious here

[green estuary]

fighting the urge to just say get gud

because if you wait to use melee inside falter windows this problem is completely mitigated

[frail bloom]

Ye you gotta just learn the falter windows just like eternal

Prob plays a larger role here than in eternal

[green estuary]

In eternal the sooner you realize that “the closer you get to the demons, the quicker you die”, the better
The falter system really doesn’t play as big of a role there simply because ideally you’re at a distance such that it doesn’t really come into play

I’m replaying eternal now after TDA and the biggest trouble for me is the mindset shift that I’m supposed to create more space between me and the demons, not less

[frail bloom]

Ye unless you use the chaingun shield

[green estuary]

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

[frail bloom]

Which saves you 50% of the time

[solar cairn]

I have no idea how to play without a shield

[green estuary]

Not having a shield isn’t the issue for me, it’s just the paradigm shift
In TDA you want to get up close to enemies (with a few exceptions) and in eternal you want to get very far away from enemies (with very few exceptions)

[solar cairn]

I always stay away in TDA, if it’s not an aggadon

[green estuary]

[karmic ferry]

Use the “Fuck it, we ball” mindset and just go crazy, it’ll work eventually

[green estuary]

I'm not really having that much trouble tbf, just dying in stupid ways occasionally because I thought getting close to a dread knight or a doom hunter was a good idea somehow

[hearty edge]

no parrying always trips me up

still haven't gotten accustomed to not parrying the hell knights

[tranquil bluff]

honestly dark ages rewards you for playing it like classic doom, the most optimal gameplay being able to swap from nudoom to classic on the fly. moreso on higher game speeds. if you're doing a no parry run try playing some doom 2 campaigns

[solid beacon]

I got borad doom 3 game.

[topaz oasis]

You got what?

[green estuary]

did someone say borat?

[tough forum]

Hey I’m having a big I siege part 1 where a combat encounter just won’t end. I kill all the demons and it just keeps spawning the fodder. What do I do?

It’s the vagary directly to the right of the big door you first come out of and I killed the vagary and the he’ll knight but it continues to spawn 2 imps and 3 zombies no matter what I do

And the statue to break is blocked off and the combat music just keeps going wtf do I do

[unkempt dragon]

#community-support message

[midnight cedar]

I solved it by just restarting the mission

[tough forum]

Figured it out. Turns out I had to restart my whole console

[midnight cedar]

Well that works too

[tough forum]

I tried restarting the mission but that just changed which combat encounter it happened on

[midnight cedar]

Strange

Hopefully they fix it soon

Sounds like a pretty nasty bug to have on UN or pandemonium

[shut plank]

Anyone went through whole game using only shotguns?

(dark ages)

[topaz oasis]

I did!

only combat shotgun actually

and flail

with 50% damage to demons

[shut plank]

And flail, yes 🙂

[topaz oasis]

twas fun

the Asswreck fight was like 25 mins long

[shut plank]

yeah, I know

However during the game all those combos you could pull off with couple sobering flail smashes followed by SSG in_the_face

soooo satisfying

[topaz oasis]

oh well I didnt use the SSG because I felt it would be a little too OP and you'd mostly just rely on it

instead of the CS

[shut plank]

🙂 for bigger ones I did rely on it... Now once you said it.... 😄 😄

[topaz oasis]

the idea of that playthrough was to beat the game using only the weapons that are the most ass

SSG is actually efficient against many enemies if not all of them

so using it kinda would've trivialized the challenge

hold on

@shut plank the first gore nest in resurrection was literally pure fire with CS and flail only https://www.youtube.com/live/kPLhQniNuAY?si=NnXBF3z-7VcmdCkX&t=13332

[harsh egret]

@obsidian shard i got an email that they are doing a "buy one get 35% off on the second on all apparel" until the 12th of oct, do u think that applies to the id signature series merch lmao

Idk if the US has that going on too

[shut plank]

beautiful !

apparels skins colours and dresses... not for me, for me all demons and movables could be as well bloks of pixels or cubes or simply put vectors. at least for me it's all about combos, skill'n'shii 🙂

[obsidian shard]

https://gear.bethesda.net/products/doom-the-dark-ages-doom-slayer-pvc-statue

Theres a Void Skin Bethesda Gear Exclusive one

[grizzled thicket]

Xamn

[obsidian shard]

https://gear.bethesda.net/products/doom-the-dark-ages-doom-slayer-pvc-statue-void-skin

Has the SSG instead

[solid nacelle]

Man I wish I was employed

[vagrant path]

Still on that pandemonium replay

really is more intense and adrenaline pumping on a second playthrough

[obsidian shard]

I would not be surprised if it does end up applying to to the id signature

[harsh egret]

that would be sick

[harsh egret]

fuck man they not up on the international store

ships during JUNE 2026 l m a o

[obsidian shard]

I Know

[harsh egret]

ye i aint buying that so early ngl, if its still in stock sometime next year ill get it

[obsidian shard]

They are up on BBTS

[obsidian shard]

Discounts work on the Statues BTW

[heady mica]

FUUUUUCK.... I might need this

nvm the other one has the pulverizer. i need that one instead.

[obsidian shard]

Exactly

[heady mica]

Imma just buy both of them tbh

[topaz oasis]

buy one for me too

[glad kayak]

yo is the chainshot a good weapon?

[obsidian shard]

YES

[glad kayak]

ty

[heady mica]

Every weapon is good

Grenade Launcher slept on heavy though, luv my antique naval mine launcher

[topaz oasis]

what's even the point of the grenade launcher tho

what is the appeal

what does it do that the rocket launcher doesnt?

I just cant find a reason to switch to it

[half marlin]

bigger aoe

rl is more single-target

[hard thistle]

Rip and tear hes immortal

[harsh egret]

u mean the id signature series or?

[obsidian shard]

I ment the Statues

my bad

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/971218217852862544/1425140386136854673/685228307619958d41e64d2431ec1431_original.avif?ex=68e680e9&is=68e52f69&hm=abbb4baa87cd2786003b5a3ad2082007c64b625b474aa85267f297d3b7b4631b&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=999&height=562

[harsh egret]

ah if u have a discount code or smth

[obsidian shard]

CREAMING

[harsh egret]

AHHH

IS IT OUT

[obsidian shard]

Kickstarter is out BUT
its not open, so we only have info

TDA Version will have Titans

[harsh egret]

all good, making progress

[obsidian shard]

"Wield all the power of Hell... or make them cower before one man. DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game is based on the acclaimed new chapter in the saga. This version boasts a grimdark, medieval-fantasy look, putting you in control either of the mighty Doom Slayer or the ravenous legions of Hell, including Imps, Manucubi, Cosmic Barons, and even the gargantuan Titans"

[harsh egret]

absolute cinema

[obsidian shard]

DOOM: Classic | Arena Board Game

its all 2-4 player

Take control of the DOOM Slayer and face off against up to 3 opponents commanding the hordes of Hell.

[harsh egret]

ye im getting both

[obsidian shard]

Those boxes are CLEAN

[harsh egret]

yupp

[alpine pilot]

WHOM DOOM

[obsidian shard]

Playing DND and the DOOM Minis come out

"Bring out the Fine China"

They are gonna have alot to talk about on this weeks stream

[warm ibex]

I really want to get both but I know even core boxes can be super pricey

[harsh egret]

how much yall think they r gonna be

[obsidian shard]

In the Modipius Server, that wasone of the things they talked about

dont want it to be super pricey or too lil

[warm ibex]

If it's $30 - $40 per core box I'll gladly buy both

[harsh egret]

that sounds like too low i think

[warm ibex]

But I know these things very easily slip into the $60+ range so we'll see

[obsidian shard]

also depends on which version
With Minis
without Minis
there will be around a 20$ Difference for each!

[warm ibex]

Oh right, I forgot about that! good point good point

[harsh egret]

my budget would be like 150, maybe max 200
for both ofc

[obsidian shard]

I PRAY they are in Standard Mini Size (DND Size Compatible)

[harsh egret]

if they are lower than that then great

[warm ibex]

with the minis thing in mind, I'll probably get one with minis and one without unless it's $100 or below for both complete core boxes

[obsidian shard]

Theres also Expansions

[harsh egret]

on launch?

[obsidian shard]

I say that change lmao

[harsh egret]

or are they gonna release expansions later

[warm ibex]

the box art alone on the classic version is too good not to get, I gotta try to buy both lol

[obsidian shard]

I think Expansions release Later but they are also will be part of the Kickstarter

[obsidian shard]

Its Awesome

[harsh egret]

that caco on the left side of the box

[obsidian shard]

Staring into my soul

[harsh egret]

where is the mark of the slayer on his shield https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/491020118780805140/1425147631335768125/image.png?ex=68e687a9&is=68e53629&hm=37cb83e4d435dc8db1d333aaa9662c5025c5d854a2fb66df5b29dcba77ee400a&

[obsidian shard]

Cause Painting

[green estuary]

tbh the grenade launcher's whole upgrade tree is pretty much outclassed by ricochet

no worrying about self-damage, more consistent enemy targeting, not to mention it's much easier to just aim the shredder at a shield-sawed enemy than it is to lob grenades at them and get direct hits

even pincushion is better to an extent

[obsidian shard]

Also we Have the Date for the Board Game

October 28th!

[harsh egret]

nice!

[half marlin]

true

[obsidian shard]

Also the RL is Just better

[green estuary]

yes

I'm working on a gameplay mod for pc that hopefully will address this

probably gonna end up buffing the heck out of cluster bombs

blood sacrifice's splash damage, though not even that huge of an upgrade over the base splash damage, still completely removes the GL's use case

[obsidian shard]

Also why is the Turret not on the Slayer During Cutscenes, even tho dueing the Dev Direct it was

(imo looks cooler with the Turret)

[green estuary]

predator slayer

[obsidian shard]

ALL the Merch has it on too

[green estuary]

instead of the turret they should've given him a laser

[obsidian shard]

Turret or Laser

Turret looks so cool tho

the Bullets on the gun

[green estuary]

it does
the belt of ammo looks incredibly badass

[obsidian shard]

i would take the turret over the Equipment Launcher anyday

[obsidian shard]

EXACTLY

It adds a surprising amont of detail and badassery to to the Slayer

he looks one way the turret looks the other way

coolness incarnate

[heady trout]

Okay I played Seige part 1 a lil bit, any tips? Bc I kind of hate the hitscan stuff (I think that's what the enemies that flash damage on your screen are) so annoying, and it just feels so massive idk where to go or if I should

One time I respawned and got insta killed by a tank

[green estuary]

for arachnotrons, shield bash into ssg is your best friend
cyberdemons are obviously not so easy, but you've just gotta either break line of sight with them or get up close as soon as possible, because their ranged options are much more dangerous than their melee

[heady trout]

I hate that the game in the tutorial tells me to and I quote "take cover", did they forget what game this is? (Arachnotron)

[green estuary]

also tanks will always just be annoying, you gotta parry them right
although they take 500% damage from the rocket launcher which is nice

[green estuary]

I mean
there are a total of three enemies out of the dozens in the game that hitscan you

[harsh egret]

i heckin love when i parry a tank projectile and nothing happens

[heady trout]

I just

[green estuary]

also you don't even have to take cover against arachnotrons/chaingunners
shield bash + ssg for arachnotrons and shield bash + flail for chaingunners

[heady mica]

i love parrying the first projectile but then forgetting it fired two more times so i just get all my health deleted !

[harsh egret]

lol

[green estuary]

yeah you gotta strafe while parrying

[heady trout]

Still don't know how to feel about this game at times, Eternal is my favorite game of all time and I beat UN, maybe it's my Eternal bias? But I died very little in my Nightmare playthrough thus far until Seige came around.

[green estuary]

TDA is bit easy unless you turn the parry window down

[mossy hound]

These ages are dark

[heady mica]

I do, but lately I've just been playing blackout drunk, so I forget a lot of shit lol

[heady trout]

Why does everyone keep saying this game is easy legitimately, what are you doing that I'm not that makes the game that much easier

[obsidian shard]

The Game is very customizable so i suggest tweaking some things
