Good to remember names

obsidian shard
#

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Finishing_Move_Inc. also i suggest checking out the wiki page

DoomWiki.org

#

Ok

frail bloom
#

Alr time to continue my run

#

Oh wait I can't play without internet

#

Bummer

proven imp
#

Was trying to see what the post game content looks like

#

From what I've seen, the game is what, 25hrs with not much post game content? Trying to see what price point to get dark ages as I'm looking for a new fps to play this winter.

frail bloom
#

Ye what game has a bunch of post game content on release

#

The campaign is longer and there's the ripatorium

#

If you want to wait for more content, that's a completely normal thing to do

#

What do you play on too

#

I think it's on sale on steam

warm ibex
frail bloom
#

Oh, well anyways there will be another chance

#

Also you can mess with the sliders

warm ibex

#

We got dat dev menu

# frail bloom What do you play on too

I play on steam. I have a lot of stuff in my backlog but I may drop it all for Dark Ages if it's on a Christmas sale in December.

The ripatorium sounds amazing.

#

If that wasnt a confirmation from Josh that its a master campaign then idk what is HappyGuy

frail bloom

Im like 95% on it

It's barebones a lil now but the amt of fun you can have

And it's gonna get updated

warm ibex
cerulean pagoda
#

guys because the dlc will feature snow in hell

could the dlc thing be in december

#

cuz like

christmas

cerulean pagoda
#

or january idk

frail bloom
#

I'd say absolute earliest is feb, most likely is April-March

#

But that gives them more time to cook

#

I'm hoping for a trailer in december tho

proven imp
warm ibex
# harsh egret Huh? Why so

He follows the initial "I think you're onto something" with "that's what Kruge was saying... I think you're onto something". He was referring to your comment about the secret encounter difficulty being a preview of general master level difficulty, not specifically commenting on the master campaign part

frail bloom
#

Oof

#

I mean still nothing disproves it Hato

warm ibex
#

I still think the master campaign is legit but definitely don't think that was an intentional teaser

frail bloom
#

Just that we have no direct confirmation

cerulean pagoda
#

i might expect a master level this year

harsh egret
frail bloom
#

If they were gonna release normal master levels they would've released some during quakecon

#

Well not EXPECT

cerulean pagoda
#

a master campaign would be sick

frail bloom
#

I HOPE

#

Not expect

#

It's just that it would've been too much time for them to only make one level

cerulean pagoda
#

maybe they are putting in so many enemies in the levels that the time is being spent to reduce the lag

frail bloom
#

But they always put the max amt lol

#

It's just always like 80% fodder

#

The enemy doesn't matter

harsh egret
# harsh egret hm, i felt like it def meant that

cuz i said specifically "this is just a glimpse for whats to come with master levels... or should i say master campaign"
and he said im onto something since he prob hasnt seen too many ppl theorize about them doing that and i think he hinted at it without giving a clear "yes"
i didnt say anything about it being master level level difficulty

frail bloom
#

🎙️ Horde your response

harsh egret
#

also, josh's face after he reads my comment sorta gives it away imo lol

#

Yall I did all the ripatoriums and my skin hasn't came in for like a week now wth do I do

Yes

How does someone get that again

@warm ibex i assume the guy didnt answer ur dm btw? glarethink

What guy

obsidian shard
#

DOOM Dominion

#

On Twitter

#

Ye

obsidian shard
#

He was Purposely spreading misinfo

solid nacelle
#

Okay I strongly dislike the arena in temple of lomarith where there's the big portal that turns the environment into like a big storm

#

Who thought infinite respawns of arachnotrons and cacodemons was a good idea

frail bloom
#

Looks sick as hell tho

cerulean pagoda
#

i honestly wished that DOOM tda expanded more upon the marauders

frail bloom
#

They're kinda silly in this game

#

One was seen instructing a battalion and another was on a rack, carried by sentinel citizens

#

Were they even trained by the slayer yet

#

Training montage in dlc pls

harsh egret
#

lmao

harsh egret
obsidian shard
#

Its just a Sentinel

#

a Marauder is a Sentinel that sided with the Maykr's during the civil war

#

Armor does not make it a Marauder, a standard Sentinel can be one

warm ibex

especially compared to Hato or Mine

When bro is not replying to dms nor comments about it, smth is sus.

obsidian shard
#

Basically Listen to Hato for news (Or me)

#

DOOM Dominion has Hato Blocked too

If I were to reply with that he would block me (which he already did)

I'm not interested in pestering folks or getting on anyone's bad side but I'd like to ask about it another time or two. Again that is a very big claim to just throw out into the open without a source

I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt until he's had the opportunity to explain himself

#

Your shield will take big damage from the projectile at 300% but it will not break.

solar cairn
#

It’s a pity that the shield doesn’t get stuck in big demons

warm ibex
#

far too busted

heady trout
#

okay im just trying to enjoy seige part one

#

but holy fuck this is annoying

#

the game tells me to ''stand and fight'' to get closer to bigger enemies to parry shit, but that just leaves me vulnerable to other enemies

#

works with the Cyberdemon, not so much with the Vagary

#

like and the battles i do win it just feels weird bc im constantly reaching low health

solar cairn
heady trout
#

okay im trying to enjoy this game on nightmare but the game philosophy its trying to encourage me to partake in is incomprehensible

#

be a tank? If i stay less mobile i gety shredded by projetciles

#

stand and fight? Yeah stand and fight the big guy while all the other demons backshot you

naive wigeon
heady trout
#

use your melee? You mean throw myself into an enemy to lose any and all positioning i previously had and subsequently get fucked by the other enemies?

heady trout
naive wigeon
#

stand and fight doesnt literally mean get into kissing distance with every enemy

heady trout
#

what about the whole tank thing

#

bc that so far has been bs

naive wigeon
#

its just a tagline for the game’s newer philosophy of being able to “stand your ground” instead of flying around like in eternal

heady trout
#

the idea of standing my ground is bs bc if i do i get instantly overwhelmed and shattered by 15 different projectiles at once

naive wigeon
solar cairn
naive wigeon
#

it means that u just have a better tool for defense (the shield) but u should still be moving around the map and positioning urself

heady trout
#

like this game has the same problem as Eternal called: The only good way to learn the game is to watch and listen to other people play it, bc what the base game gives you is usless on higher difficulties

solar cairn
heady trout
#

im playing on Nightmare and legitimately debating If I should scale down to Ultra Violence like I did in 2016 bc much like that game, playing on nightmare makes you as strong as a piece of foam and the game becomes a ''run for your life'' simulator

#

or ''take cover and recover your health every 10 seconds'' experience

naive wigeon
#

the only reason why dark ages slayer feels like a “tank” is moreso because of how much heavier he feels in terms of movement and how much more impact ur hits make

heady trout
#

Eternals Nightmare diffculty only works because the mobility saves me from the heaps of damage sources, in 2016 and this game i dont have that option and am forced to sit there and take it

#

i think ill legitimately turn the diffuclty down to Ultra Violence to see if I have more fun, because this is just unbearable

#

the fun zone as mr hugo said

naive wigeon
heady trout
naive wigeon
#

the shield would be useless if u could just dodge everything by moving

heady trout
#

okay ill just assume my default enjoyment experience for Doom games is Ultra Violence and NOT Nightmare purely bc i enjoy Eternal on that difficulty

heady trout
#

on nightmare everything is made of jello

#

im done im playing on Ultra Violence, this game has the same Nightmare problem as 2016 where the experience just isnt fun on Nightmare bc it becomes a tactical shooter and the power fantasy is gone

#

its called --Nightmare-- for a reason

#

and as far as im concerned Hugo or whoever said Ultra Violence was the canon diffculty or something so im taking that

warm ibex
heady trout
#

its not like im standing still, I never do that, but the game on this difficulty is just not fun for me, much like 2016

#

for some reason I only like Eternals Nightmare difficulty

obsidian shard
#

You can Customize the Difficulty

heady trout
#

I can do a UN run on Eternal but fuck me if I play Nightmare on 2016 or this game

obsidian shard
#

that may help

naive wigeon
#

i think u just need a little more playtime to get used to the game

obsidian shard
#

same

warm ibex
#

agreed

heady trout
#

oh yeah how much more frustration will i have to endure

#

before i start liking the game

obsidian shard
#

The game is Customizable like that for a reason

naive wigeon
#

ur not obligated to force urself to like a game

heady trout
warm ibex
#

I unfortunately don't know what that is

heady trout
#

playing on Nightmare

#

thats probably my mistake, because I adore 2016 on Ultra Violence and detest it on Nightmare, so maybe its the same thing here

naive wigeon
obsidian shard
#

Settiing your difficulty down doesnt make you worse btw

naive wigeon
#

i havent touched 2016 and eternal since the heian era and i paid for those games

warm ibex
#

actually I have something that might help

naive wigeon
#

but i still got my money’s worth from the time i did spend playing them

heady trout
obsidian shard
heady trout
obsidian shard
#

You can Customize the difficulty too btw

heady trout
heady trout
obsidian shard
#

I play 300% to slayer asf with very high Resources

heady trout
#

like what did the developers intend, if I customize shit then it feels like im playing something wrong bc its not the devs intentions

heady trout
naive wigeon
obsidian shard
#

It was the Devs intention for you to play the way you wanna play, and they gave the sliders so you can achieve that

heady trout
#

wtf

naive wigeon
#

so that if something in the game doesnt feel right u can change it to ur choosing in service of ur own enjoyment

heady trout
#

okay so this is admittedly new for me

#

no other game does this

#

the devs giving up and going ''FINE DO WHATEVER YOU WANT I DONT CARE ANYMORE'' is kind of funny

#

but tbf its an interesting mentality to have as a dev

#

bc you deliberately allow the player to escape the confines of the intended gameplay loop

warm ibex
#

that's not at all what they're doing, it's a misunderstanding on your part based on what I assume is a misguided playstyle (more on that in a sec, still typing)

heady trout
#

im listening

obsidian shard
heady trout
#

no fun allowed...

obsidian shard
#

Some find it fun if it hard asf, some find it fun ifs its easy asf

heady trout
#

my problem ig is finding that balance but well im curious as to what HORDE has to say

obsidian shard
#

i like hard asf but Rewarding - high risk (High damage), high reward (reward = health back in my case)

#

Reminder Horde if the message is too long the bot will delete it

heady trout
#

Vega bot can go die

warm ibex
# heady trout curious

One of the most common mistakes I feel like people make without realizing it is hard blocking. At no point during my time with the game have I ever held a block unless it was absolutely necessary to avoid sudden death.

What you should be doing in place of hard blocking is throwing the shield (with the only exception being super heavies). Heavy demon lurking in the distance? Throw the shield to stun, interrupt the stun with a shield bash, then finish it off at point blank distance. Another shield throw would work for a near constant stun if whatever you shoot it with next doesn't instantly kill it. Heavy demon right in front of you? Same thing. Throw the shield to stun it, then hit it with whatever fits the situation best.

Stay on the move until you're confronted/confronting, then shield throw to stun and lay into it. As you get better you'll learn the groove of throwing it into something, then pulling it out and dishing out whatever combo you like best to keep it in a stun state

#

That shield is for parrying and throwing, rarely blocking

obsidian shard
#

And Bashing, bash is super importants too, not as much as throwing tho

warm ibex
#

Very true. TDA is an EXTREMELY close range game, the bash is essential for closing the distance

heady trout
#

what? Every shield bash I do to non light demons just leaves me in a vulnerable position

warm ibex
#

How so?

heady trout
#

messes with my position

#

leaves me sorrounded by enemies, or just with so many enemies out of sight, casuing me to recieve damage from so many angles

heady trout
#

its at max

naive wigeon
#

dang

heady trout
#

every time i shield bash I have to instantly turn around to avoid being backshotted by whatever

naive wigeon
#

ok but fr tho its very situational

heady trout
#

like i need to keep a 360 view on the arena at all times or i get projectile spammed, unless i stick to a wall then theres nobody capable of backshotting me

naive wigeon
#

like for example if ur shield bashing a demon u should consider how many other enemies are near it

warm ibex
naive wigeon
#

and how fast u can take it out or at least stun it after the shield bash

red peak
naive wigeon
#

and consider what an enemy does after ur shield bash too

heady trout
naive wigeon
heady trout
naive wigeon
#

u can also use it evasively like the ssg meathook from eternal

heady trout
#

thats the most effective use ive found for it

red peak
naive wigeon
#

if u know ur about to be overwhelmed by a crowd of enemies and see a random demon in the distance thats within shield bash range then u can use that to escape

heady trout
#

the main issue I have with this game now that im thinking about it, is that I have to keep in mind SO many projectiles all at once and it becomes incomprehensible to deal with so many arenas

#

why didnt this happen in Eternal or 2016

obsidian shard
#

You can lower the Projectile speed

heady trout
#

it kind of happened in Eternal but I could just meathook/move quickly to avoid the spam of projectiles

#

here im just forced to eat the firepower of 50 enemies all at once

warm ibex
#

I have a feeling you're getting into your own head and making this a lot more complicated than it needs to be

red peak
naive wigeon
#

fr

heady trout
#

fuck it if all else fails ill just switch to Ultra Violence

#

im not giving up on this game but im not stabbing my balls in order to have the ''toughest'' experience

#

much like I did with 2016

#

and subsequently had fun when I switched to UV

naive wigeon
red peak
naive wigeon
#

u can always just get used to the game and switch to nightmare anyways when u feel more comfortable

#

#

I did my first run on Hurt me plenty yo learn how to play first

heady trout
#

by all means, tell me what im doing wrong

warm ibex
#

I like the video title lol

heady trout
#

lol

#

its kind of funny to rewatch

#

the way I INSTANTLY die

#

but nevertheless

warm ibex
#

the pulverizer is a point blank range weapon, you're effectively throwing pebbles at longer distances

heady trout
#

wtf

#

I thought it was a fodder cleaner

naive wigeon
heady trout
#

the moment he throws a melee attack its all over

naive wigeon
#

u fumbled when u went in close and didnt get the parry in

warm ibex
naive wigeon
#

my advice is that u pay attention not only to ur own movement but also to what the demon in front of u is doing

obsidian shard
#

Vagary is a Distance enemy staying at a distance is crucial
Pulveriser is close range same with melee

naive wigeon
#

a lot of superheavies choreograph their attacks before they do them

warm ibex
#

yes that too

heady trout
#

i know the choregraph for the vagaries spit

#

or whatever that acid shit is

obsidian shard
#

Using the Impaler was good

naive wigeon
#

and also yes, you should consider the effective range of engagement for what demon ur fighting

obsidian shard
#

I think thats were the issue is

heady trout
#

which i guess i can only discover by dying alot

red peak
#

Also, Ive found that the flail is easily the worst melee in the game

obsidian shard
#

it is yes

heady trout
#

what

obsidian shard
#

but its the coolest

heady trout
#

okay sure

red peak
naive wigeon
#

for vagaries ur supposed to stay at medium to slightly longer range (not like sniping super far away range more like what longer range is by tda standards)

obsidian shard
#

Combat was good otherwise i say

naive wigeon
#

the distance that u were in earlier when u were projectile parrying is the effective range im talking about

obsidian shard
#

Cycler is also a good choice

naive wigeon
#

second off dont try to instantly queue inputs after each other

red peak
#

I think you have the chainshot atp right? Use it to weaken the armor (and break with sheild throw) then use a heavy hitter like the accelerater to kill it from long range, thats what I do

naive wigeon
#

based on what i saw, u right clicked and immediately started mashing melee inputs before waiting to see if ur parry registered

naive wigeon
#

the game doesnt really cancel inputs as easily or as fluid as eternal

#

it instead queues them causing a lot of weird moments like that

warm ibex
# heady trout https://youtu.be/nR9Kn1WGRVQ

the main cause of your death here was getting a little too greedy (for lack of a better word). Super Heavy demons often require a "stand your ground" mentality where you apply constant pressure in some way. Cyberdemons need to be approached directly and repeatedly parried as you dish out damage between parries. Vagaries, however, need distance so they'll send out their waves of projectiles, which can then be parried as you lay down constant fire from a medium range weapon like the Accelerator, Cycler, Shredder or Impaler. You shouldn't approach them unless you're ready to finish them off or know how to handle them at point blank range. What @naive wigeon is saying about input quing is also 110% true, you need to pace yourself

unkempt dragon
#

hello fam

naive wigeon
#

u should only be using ur melee if ur sure that ur melee is going to cause them to falter (any dreadmace swing or the kick after a fist combo ending kick) or if ur 100% sure that theyre gonna be faltered long enough for u to get hits in

green estuary
heady trout
#

Huh

heady trout
#

and died to a close range tank

naive wigeon
heady trout
#

go fuck yourself

#

do i need to die once in every encounter in this level before being able to beat it or something

naive wigeon
#

1 or 2 hits will do

obsidian shard
unkempt dragon
green estuary
# naive wigeon it instead queues them causing a lot of weird moments like that

basically to avoid problems with this, just do two things
one, only press melee when you want the melee strike to happen--don't mash it three times in a row when you go for a combo, wait for the animation to at least mostly finish before you hit melee again
two, only go for melee combos when the demon is faltered, or else you risk getting your combo interrupted

warm ibex
# heady trout https://youtu.be/q-4Sm0Ra_u8

another problem here - you need to throw the shield at the Vagary's heated armor when possible. I can't remember if the armor break does direct damage to vagaries ( @green estuary could probably confirm that) but at the very least it opens up more of its body to direct damage. In this clip its left legs were heated but not broken for most of the battle.

and at 0:23 you also turn to charge into another demon as projectiles were actively flying towards you. Doing this is a very good way to get yourself killed if you aren't careful

green estuary

well the demon can't take any damage to body parts covered by armor

warm ibex
heady trout
#

okay fought another Vagary in the level

#

killed it first try, I know know the rules, lets see how frustrating it is to learn the rest of the rules

warm ibex
#

judging by the clips you still haven't nailed down parrying or traversing play space with projectiles in the air, so you'll benefit from learning with slower speeds

heady trout
#

okay got killed by a Cyberdemon yippe

red peak
#

This is off topic lol but does anyone else play with the melee/parry slow motion off? It feels alot better imo lol

warm ibex
heady trout
heady trout
red peak
green estuary
#

Yeah you just gotta parry them properly, no two ways about it

heady trout
#

okay go fuck yourself i LITERALLY nearly insta killed the Cyberdemon on the second try

#

bro didnt touch me

red peak
warm ibex
heady trout
#

doesnt everyone kind of brute force it by dying alot

warm ibex
#

don't let overconfidence and ego ruin your first time playing

heady trout
#

what overconfidence im dying like at least once or twice per ecnounter

#

thats just me being ass

warm ibex
#

you're also refusing to drop even a single slider from nightmare while actively being beat to death

#

which won't get you anywhere

heady trout
#

fine ill play on UV, you make a fair point

warm ibex
#

lol

heady trout
#

you all do

#

im not stupid enough to deny when im wrong

#

okay Ultra Violence training wheels, lets Dark Age on these Dooms

Loll

hey if it means anything, my first time playing was at a press event and I refused to lower the difficulty below UV despite not knowing how to play and half of my gameplay was dogshit because of it. I've been there too lol

unkempt dragon
#

Why does UV get such a bad rep? There's no shame in not starting a Doom game on Nightmare. It's a toxic and popular attitude in the community for some reason.

warm ibex
#

super duper agreed, quite literally could not agree more

#

you can pick whatever you want and do just about anything as long as you respect what the game has taught you

warm ibex
#

with SSG or Impaler shots inbetween throws/retractions

#

or lay down constant fire as you do it

heady trout
#

annnnd i died

#

Ultra violence in fact does not make me immortal, go figure]

obsidian shard
heady trout
#

its when theres like 4 different enemies that require parryign that i just lose it

#

who do i defend against first, who do I kill first

#

cant kill anything if im constantly parrying the consecutive attacks of 4 heavy demons

warm ibex
#

if they all require parries then parry them all. it's not about picking one and going for it

heady trout
#

i know its just hard to kill anything in that state

warm ibex
#

parry, shoot, parry, shoot

heady trout
#

i suppose

warm ibex
#

use the SSG or Impaler

#

or lay down fire with an automatic weapon and keep the trigger held as you press the parry button

#

you don't have to stop everything to parry, it's a very fluid system that lets you integrate parries into your regular gameplay

#

where I feel like you're treating it like integrating regular gameplay into the parry system

heady trout
#

okay did it

#

also yeah

#

maybe i should do that more, and I kind of tried it

#

with the Cyberdemon its easy, parry and super shotgun

#

but with everyone else its less easy

warm ibex
#

specifically the accelerator at this point in the game, I think you'll get more use out of that

heady trout
#

oh my chirst what even killed me

#

oh the spit from the four legged guy

#

it was LITERALLY just him left

#

but no i walk into the spit by accident and bam

#

and in the next try i dominate

#

what is it with these ''I die miserably and then respawn and dominate'' encounters

green estuary
#

damaging purple goo lmao

heady trout
#

and wtf

#

why wont this one specific seige part one arena end? I killed the Vagary, now it just keeps going even though theres nothing left, plus if i leave the arena and come back fodder spawns and the same shit repeats?

#

welp screw the 100% attempt

#

yeah it just keeps spawning two imps and two zombies over and over again

#

even tried restarting form checkpoint and it didnt help

naive wigeon
#

damn

#

try restarting ur game and then loading the level again

heady trout
#

okay i tried to go back to the main menu

#

didnt help, will do a full restart

final dune
#

why does hordes pfp have a pirate hat

heady trout
#

shit even with a full game restart

#

nothing happens, thanks besethda really, great job

green estuary
#

doom games be like

#

also it seems like I've found the millisecond values for the parry windows in-game

obsidian shard
green estuary
#

lowest parry setting has a 200ms window, then 250ms, 350ms, 500ms, and 600ms on the highest parry window

heady trout
#

funny

#

99% complete bc i forgot to do the flail challenge

#

actually no i missed one secret wtf?

#

lol

topaz oasis
unkempt dragon
#

huh

topaz oasis
#

I played eternal on nightmare my first time around and I literally hated the game

#

I was getting slaughtered

#

Good thing I didnt make the same mistake for dark ages that is like a lot harder than eternal

#

So I went with UV for dark ages on my first playthrough

unkempt dragon
#

ah yes

topaz oasis
#

And I was still getting destroyed quite often megalel

heady trout
#

Seige part 1 was an unforgettable humbling and learning experience, i will forever be traumatized

topaz oasis
#

But I enjoyed the game a lot more my first time around

#

No matter how good you think you are at games, going for the highest difficulty on a hard game from the get go is a fool's errand

#

You're setting yourself up for a horrible time lol

green estuary
#

bro max projectile speed literally doubles the projectile speed

#

wtf kekw
who thought this was a good idea

#

in the game files it just multiplies projectile speed by a scalar 2 lmao

#

no wonder it's absolute cancer

heady trout
#

sees green flash and instantly paries

topaz oasis
#

I fought Asswreck and Kreed they other day with max projectile speed

#

Some of their projectile attacks are literally unavoidable or unreactable

green estuary
#

fun

#

that's what happens when your strafe speed doesn't line up with what you're expected to strafe around

solid nacelle
green estuary
#

there are certain projectiles that have exceptions to the scalar value I believe yes

#

I seem to recall some of ahzrak/kreed's projectiles being in that list

solid nacelle
#

The kreed has that one attack where he's constantly pelting you with tiny light orbs and it's definitely affected by the sliders

#

And the shield is too weak to handle it

green estuary
#

pretty much all projectiles are affected by the sliders, some just seem to be affected less by them is all I'm saying

topaz oasis
#

Kreed's worst attack on max projectile speed was when he throws those gray orbs at you

#

Those literally track you and hit you even if you turn around and sprint

#

I had to lower the slider because every time he did that move it was game over megalel

#

DOOM: Arena Board game will have Stretch goals and Special goodies for Backers

#

But what they are is still unknown... For now

#

A possible one is a Art piece of the Box are form the 1993 Version of the game

obsidian shard
#

fixed

heady trout
#

im having fun in Seige part 2, when will I get angry, I know the level is waiting to mess with me

warm ibex
warm ibex
#

it's a skill check encounter, ensures that you have a firm grip on the mechanics so far

heady trout
#

:C

#

GOD DARN IT ALL I WAS HAVING FUNN!!!

#

i died due to that stupid shield enemy that blasts ur screen

#

yippee (also the weird invisible revenant)

#

and some suprise stone imps

#

how in the fuck do i ever see stone imps coming, they ALWAYS catch me off guard and leave me with low health

#

i have ZERO time to react to them

heady trout
#

oh wow this is just

#

like the last level, ill just consider this playthrough DoomSlayers weird dream after taking benadryl one day, not the actual events that happened in the story

#

for a game that glazes you the player alot, you sure die plenty

hes prolly talking about the shielded chaingunner guy

cursive grotto
#

Oh yeah chaingunners

#

Fuck em man

#

They have basically the same attack as arachnotrons but I just hate them 10x more

#

Idk why

uneven dragon
#

They’re not a cool spider

remote canopy
remote canopy
random sand
# cursive grotto Oh yeah chaingunners

I never had much of a problem with them. They rapid-fire you and make your screen more red than iron man's buttcheeks but if you just use your shield to block it and your ssg to instantly heat up the shield and blow it up, i ain't too bad

cursive grotto
#

They're just pesky and annoying

#

They don't do alot of damage like at all

#

They're just super annoying lol like I said

#

You could be fighting a Baron or something and then this guy starts spraying you with rubber bullets that do pitiful damage across the entire arena

random sand
cursive grotto
#

See

#

Sounds like an annoyance doesn't it

random sand
#

a mild one at best

#

now if you wanna talk annoyances. Acolytes have got you covered

#

those bitches can go get fucked

#

not only can they slow you down. there's two of the bastards and one of them shields itself before you kill the first one

cursive grotto
#

Yeah I hate acolytes too

#

I saved dreadmaces specifically for those bitches in my ultra nightmare run

#

Just to one shot them and move on

cursive grotto
#

I do like them in concept though

#

Atleast their slow is pretty minor compared to the vagary's bullshit vomit puddles

#

I still hate seeing a vagary just because of that attack

random sand
cursive grotto
#

One upside to them is that they give me infinite parry charged rockets

random sand
cursive grotto
#

Yup

#

Speaking of runes

#

I've been maining ground fissure and heaven splitter for all of my past runs

#

I want to give heavenly swarm and autoturret a shot too

#

Autoturret actually seems pretty fun

frosty pine
#

Natural instinct

cursive grotto
#

I think it might be because i get to spam parry charged rockets like i said

#

the secret belly of the beast encounter is a little too over the top tho

#

because no fodder and no pickups anywhere

#

hopefully NG+ stuff will be better balanced

meager vortex
#

but we dont know NG+ what day coming

#

that is the problem

#

we just waiting

#

if id have a road map for doom the dark ages

I had a dream they revealed the dlc and there was a food mechanic

#

and they brought back the sentinel hammer and it had spikes and the metal was replaced with stone and with blue energy

dark thunder
#

it was like there were cards on screen in the top right and it was a picture of something there were 3 of them and it said food with an x or y button

half marlin
#

lol!

#

dying light the beast reference?!??!

tranquil bluff
#

priest porridge in dark ages when hugo?

dark thunder
#

the combat was so intense doom slayer was getting hit into the air and flying

#

the arena was like these stone pillars and stuff it was weird

#

I even dreamed up the name and saw box art my freaking brain generated but the name didnt match up lol i dont remember it

obsidian shard
#

I finally got the ripatorium bug

#

So got some good vids with it!

#

The Music changer in game is FLAWLESS and is sick asf

#

FIghting the Old One with Ancestreal Beast Playing goes hard asf

rotund rune
#

Does everyone have the bug that when you die or restart the game the mission starts before your black screen disappears?

#

I've had it since launch and I find it odd it wasn't fixed. It's very frequent on mine. Sometimes I die again before the screen returns

rotund rune
obsidian shard
#

its being worked on

#

but id is a relatively small studio

rotund rune

#

Only the game thinking im in the Ripatorium lol

#

MEssing with the music is fun

#

and its flawless due to the new systems introduced Apart of Update 2

rotund rune
#

Yeah the only problem is not being able to restart checkpoint

obsidian shard
#

Thee only main issue with the Ripatorium bug is that GK dont exist

#

so you cant kill leaders

ionic glade
#

Drove me crazy on my first run during the Enhanced Ahzrak fight

dark thunder
#

no slow mo on is just so much better omg

#

its so fun its like unplayable with slow mo on

half marlin
#

are you on pc also

ionic glade
#

Also get a weird bug after the Old One boss fight where the slayer becomes super floaty and basically gets knocked around whether blocking or parrying as well as throwing off parry timings. with Enhanced Ahzrak’s attacks. Makes it basically impossible to get meaningful damage as well.

I can tell it’s about to happen because the Slayer will randomly jump with no input from myself when the game loads in from the cutscene. Death or restarting from the checkpoint will stop it from happening.

Already submitted a help ticket for it and they are looking into that one as well.

obsidian shard
half marlin
#

makes me wonder if this is console exclusive bug

obsidian shard
#

It mostly appears to be that The Ripatorium is Clashing with The Campaign and causing bugs

half marlin
#

how did u get that bug
just played ripatorium?

#

and then went to campaign

obsidian shard
#

Ya played some Ripatorium then decided to play some Campaign

solid nacelle
fervent maple
#

At this point they should make the music changer a feature

frail bloom
#

Pair that with nightmare imps and now you gotta zig zag the direction you want to go

#

The thing is, dark ages doesn't have omni sprint

#

So walking sideways is not a good idea, you gotta actually face the direction you want to go if you wanna go faster

heady trout
#

Yeah that bothers me

#

Would make it more fun to dodge projectiles if I could sprint in all directions regardless of where I'm facing

frail bloom
#

Apparently according to Hugo it kinda breaks the game

#

Which is understandable

#

But without it, max sliders is so tough to deal with sometimes

#

Have y'all seen this

#

#artwork message

#

It's perfect

#

All of it

#

They should share it on stream
