#makeaHugoChannel
Did Marty ever get the same treatment before 2022 happened
Never
Lol
That's not Hugo
DJ
Who is that
Thats the Goat (Justgoodnotgreat AKA Crisis)
Ooohhhhh
when he played during the Quakecon Livestream
i just find it funny since it says Hugo but its clearly not Hugo
Both have Awesome Beards
Finishing Move also has pretty good one
Where!!!?
Man that's not an official emoji
Not yet
Petition to get all of them here
As emoji's
Brian on the right looks funny lol
Seen some stuff
Mods asked a long time ago what we would want for dark ages emojis and we got fuck all 
Quick someone meme-ify it
From Left to right:
Jay Kiltzen, Brian Lee White, Brian Trifon (Trifonic), Alex Klingle
Jay and Alex are Canadian Btw
Both Brian's are American
Good to remember names
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Finishing_Move_Inc. also i suggest checking out the wiki page
Finishing Move Inc are a group of American/Canadian composers and sound designers, composing music primarily for video games. They have been active since 2012. They are most notable in the Doom universe for composing the soundtrack for Doom: The Dark Ages.[1]
Every nudoom composer has a image of them aura farming and I think that’s funny
Its true tho lmao
Except Brian Trifon he's just horrified
I mean look at his expression
Someone gotta turn it into a funny
why does it say no text on this page currently lol
oh wait nvm
what
YES
Yup exactly like that
nvm ok now
This gonna be a generational doom meme

Yes it is
Ok
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.
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
sale ended monday
Current bonus content includes Pandemonium, Ultra Nightmare and The Ripatorium, which is a fully customizable endless arena mode. The confirmed additional features include paid DLC, The Ripatorium 2.0 (and presumably more updates afterwards) and Master Levels. Hinted that we may be getting a full Master Level campaign, although we don't have direct confirmaton at this time
We got dat dev menu
If you're looking to play during winter then definitely wait until the annual Bethesda holiday sale, it should be the biggest discount so far
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 
The ripatorium is really damn fun
When is it?
Im like 95% on it
should be sometime in december
I'm almost certain it wasn't after rewatching the clip after the stream. So certain that I canceled my fully completed video going over it
guys because the dlc will feature snow in hell
could the dlc thing be in december
cuz like
christmas
Huh? Why so
or january idk
Too early
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
Ok thanks
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
I still think the master campaign is legit but definitely don't think that was an intentional teaser
Just that we have no direct confirmation
i might expect a master level this year
hm, i felt like it def meant that
I expect the whole campaign at the end of this year
If they were gonna release normal master levels they would've released some during quakecon
Well not EXPECT
a master campaign would be sick
I HOPE
Not expect
It's just that it would've been too much time for them to only make one level
maybe they are putting in so many enemies in the levels that the time is being spent to reduce the lag
But they always put the max amt lol
It's just always like 80% fodder
The enemy doesn't matter
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
🎙️ Horde your response
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
The purple skin?
Yes
How does someone get that again
Complete a trial on every ripatorium map
play an encounter on each map
Hmmm
im not getting the purple skin either, ive completed the bloody sandbox milestone and im not getting it
We've had a trillion content related conversations that just lead to someone being pissed off, I'm not interested in full discussions anymore
not wrong tbf
@warm ibex i assume the guy didnt answer ur dm btw? 
What guy
Ye
He was Purposely spreading misinfo
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
Looks sick as hell tho
i honestly wished that DOOM tda expanded more upon the marauders
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
no lol
lmao
I think that part of the lore hasn't happened yet, no
THATS NOT A MARAUDER
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
I'm hesitant to straight up say they're doing it on purpose but I can't excuse saying something that big with no backing and then ignoring any attempt to further clarify
I think he was, His posts werent getting ANY attention
especially compared to Hato or Mine
and while I suppose the argument could be made that they simply don't check comments/DMs (not that anyone was making that argument), I believe engaging with your community is a 100% necessary part of becoming a creator
didn't he also stop posting for a while? I swear his stuff hasn't popped up in my feed for like a month or two
ya i was gonna say
then came back and immediately posted what is likely huge misinfo
Oh well this is just great
Everyone thinks those guys are marauders
Like everyone
I've learned my lesson not to assume things are wrong/fake just because no one else knows about it, but that is a very huge thing for all of us to miss out on. I'm not as thorough as I used to be but some of you guys dig deep and still don't know what he's talking about
What did the guy talk abt
let me pull up the direct quote, hold up
Which is Extremely frustrating as a lore fan
Quick hit up IconofSimp he'll make a lore vid
Will fix everything
A few weeks before i made a post about id begining pre-production on a new game
WITH A SOURCE
good luck fighting the aggadon hunter with the arachnotron trying to destroy your shield from behind

Welp your cooked
listed "id has another project in the works for awhile now that is NOT Doom related" as a point in a twitter post about "RECENT DOOM and ID UPDATES"
Huh
im pretty sure 2 arachnotrons spawn in that arena
no source provided, hasn't responded to comments and so far hasn't acknowledged my dm asking for a source
Nah I always prevail
like after you kill one and after dancing around for a little bit another one spawns
When bro is not replying to dms nor comments about it, smth is sus.
If I were to reply with that he would block me (which he already did)
Is he on youtube
Also the DOOMTubers but thats a no brainer
Or just Twitter
He has a channel
DOOM Dominion is
No clue what he posts tho
Hato and i Nah
What does he post
idk
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
very very big
Horde ima be deadass with you..
he lyin
I don't wanna assume though!
I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt until he's had the opportunity to explain himself
Only reason I assume that too is cuz he has a sus history
His history is baaaad
Oh well
i mean he do got you blocked
I'm not like actively bothered by it but I'm also not fond of huge misinfo spreading around
not that the info is making waves or anything lol
That cyberdemon encounter took me too long
atleast you killed it
Oh my god the checkpoints are horrible
It sent me back to an encounter I finished
This broken game
you have the dexterity to finish it you can do it again
I did
I'm on the agaddon thing
Kill me
That red slash is a death sentence
NOOOOOO
This encounter is entirely fence projectiles
womp
You try it pal
Wow i cant wait for the merch drop tomorrow!
does the projectile alone break your shield at 500% damage
They’re already breaking the shield at 300 with one hit
As I’ve said before, the projectile isn’t the one breaking the shield at 300%
The attack has two hits, the melee swing and the projectile. If your shield is breaking at 300% damage, then you got hit by both the melee and the projectile because you are too close to the agaddon
Your shield will take big damage from the projectile at 300% but it will not break.
It’s a pity that the shield doesn’t get stuck in big demons
it used to, was removed
far too busted
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
Today I was thinking about potential innovations in the dlc
It would be cool if some runes were also made for melee weapons
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
dont do that with the vagary
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?
then why does the game tell me to do this??
stand and fight doesnt literally mean get into kissing distance with every enemy
its just a tagline for the game’s newer philosophy of being able to “stand your ground” instead of flying around like in eternal
the idea of standing my ground is bs bc if i do i get instantly overwhelmed and shattered by 15 different projectiles at once
it doesnt mean u should stay in one spot
The game is very different depending on your difficulty settings
I play at 150 percent speed and there I have to balance on keeping the distance and timely approach to the enemy to finish
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
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
No one forces you to play the role of a tank where you just have to stand, look for your style of play and enjoy
exactly
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
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
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
the shield takes most of your hits for you and your movement speed is fast enough to dodge a lot of other projectiles
dodge a lot? yeah indeed, but not enough projectile dodging clearly
yeah because u have to block/parry stuff with the shield too
the shield would be useless if u could just dodge everything by moving
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
you kidding right? Ofc I use the shield, shit breaks alot too, and you see parrying the objects is cool and all but the shield also receives normal damage at the same time and loses strenght
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
Absolutely don't mean this in a bad way, but I'm fairly certain TDA expects you to take a lot of the information and apply it to combat yourself. It doesn't want to hold your hand and tell you that "yes, you're supposed to move around in a Doom game. No, 'stand and fight' doesn't mean literally stand there, it means stand your ground and confront the enemy head on."
well thanks for at least being nice about it
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
You can Customize the Difficulty
I can do a UN run on Eternal but fuck me if I play Nightmare on 2016 or this game
that may help
i think u just need a little more playtime to get used to the game
same
agreed
oh yeah how much more frustration will i have to endure
before i start liking the game
set to UV but increase Damage to slayer and see how that plays for you
The game is Customizable like that for a reason
if the game causes u a lot of frustration then u dont need to play it
ur not obligated to force urself to like a game
i paid money for this, didnt exactly get it for free, so i have to get something out of it
Not at all trying to be judging or demeaning here - I do believe you're doing something "wrong" at the moment
I unfortunately don't know what that is
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
getting something out of it doesnt mean u have to force urself to play it “often enough” to justify ur purchase
Settiing your difficulty down doesnt make you worse btw
i havent touched 2016 and eternal since the heian era and i paid for those games
actually I have something that might help
but i still got my money’s worth from the time i did spend playing them
Eternal elitism has ruined my brain
TDA isnt Eternal or 2016 at all, (very much not in the Difficulty aspect)
''How DARE you play in a manner that doesnt zap your balls 24/7, you must torture yourself or else you arent a TRUE Doom gamer'' or something along those lines
You can Customize the difficulty too btw
curious
I know it just doesnt feel right
I play 300% to slayer asf with very high Resources
like what did the developers intend, if I customize shit then it feels like im playing something wrong bc its not the devs intentions
to me its just like enabling cheats in one way or another
bro they gave u options to customize the difficulty however u want
WHY THO
It was the Devs intention for you to play the way you wanna play, and they gave the sliders so you can achieve that
wtf
so that if something in the game doesnt feel right u can change it to ur choosing in service of ur own enjoyment
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
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)
im listening
They want people to Have fun
no fun allowed...
Some find it fun if it hard asf, some find it fun ifs its easy asf
my problem ig is finding that balance but well im curious as to what HORDE has to say
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
Vega bot can go die
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
And Bashing, bash is super importants too, not as much as throwing tho
Very true. TDA is an EXTREMELY close range game, the bash is essential for closing the distance
what? Every shield bash I do to non light demons just leaves me in a vulnerable position
How so?
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
raise ur fov
its at max
dang
every time i shield bash I have to instantly turn around to avoid being backshotted by whatever
ok but fr tho its very situational
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
like for example if ur shield bashing a demon u should consider how many other enemies are near it
You may need to choose your targets more carefully then. It's unwise to shield bash an enemy that's across the arena and separated from the main group of enemies unless you're trying to escape a group
and how fast u can take it out or at least stun it after the shield bash
Well do it at the right time then, dont just sheild bash into a crowd of enemies, use something with splash damage to damage all of them at once and when theres just one or two of them, then sheild bash
and consider what an enemy does after ur shield bash too
too busy worrying about the damage i recieve after shield bashing due to all the other enemies behind me
use it to close the distance on demons that are far away from u
I do that and still
u can also use it evasively like the ssg meathook from eternal
thats the most effective use ive found for it
Yeah, like mancubi and pinkies will almost always melee as soon as you get close.
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
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
You can lower the Projectile speed
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
It is fully your own choice to turn your back and shield bash into a distant enemy. You won't need to worry about being clobbered from behind if you stay on the move and don't repeatedly turn your back to large groups of demons
I have a feeling you're getting into your own head and making this a lot more complicated than it needs to be
Youre ment to be more of a tank in tda, not that you shouldnt move and dodge, but youre better off being aggressive and standing your ground
fr
i dont get it, do I have to fight with a wall behind my back or something?
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
yeah u probably should switch to uv first
Yeah, thats not a bad idea
u can always just get used to the game and switch to nightmare anyways when u feel more comfortable
I suppose
Is there any chance you could record your gameplay and send it as a youtube vid? I've never heard anyone with problems like this and would like to see how you're playing (not that you're the only one, just the first person I've seen these complaints from)
sure ill send some stuff
awesome
I did my first run on Hurt me plenty yo learn how to play first
I like the video title lol
the pulverizer is a point blank range weapon, you're effectively throwing pebbles at longer distances
aight first portion of the fight was good
the moment he throws a melee attack its all over
u fumbled when u went in close and didnt get the parry in
yes, you melee attacked when you shouldn't have
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
Vagary is a Distance enemy staying at a distance is crucial
Pulveriser is close range same with melee
a lot of superheavies choreograph their attacks before they do them
yes that too
Using the Impaler was good
and also yes, you should consider the effective range of engagement for what demon ur fighting
I think thats were the issue is
which i guess i can only discover by dying alot
Also, Ive found that the flail is easily the worst melee in the game
it is yes
what
but its the coolest
okay sure
Yeah lol
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)
Combat was good otherwise i say
the distance that u were in earlier when u were projectile parrying is the effective range im talking about
Cycler is also a good choice
second off dont try to instantly queue inputs after each other
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
You get it that level
based on what i saw, u right clicked and immediately started mashing melee inputs before waiting to see if ur parry registered
this is true lol
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
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
hello fam
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
your only mistake was getting too close to the vagary
it's really the only superheavy that punishes you for getting close
Huh
okay then, well at least I managed to kill it by following yalls advice
and died to a close range tank
if u want to use ur melee on a vagary u should try to do it during the brief falter that happens after u break off a chunk of its armor
go fuck yourself
do i need to die once in every encounter in this level before being able to beat it or something
and dont attempt a full 3 piece combo
1 or 2 hits will do
howdy Mr Marauderator
I read that as Maurader 😭
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
exactly
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
that was more for @heady trout tbh
armor break falters them but idk about direct damage
I don't believe the armor break itself does any damage
no worries i was just agreeing with you
Even if it doesnt do direct damage, its nice to get it off so you can hurt them easier
yes
well the demon can't take any damage to body parts covered by armor
Exactly
thank you! and as ihy3000 stated it does cause a falter alongside giving you more flesh to shoot @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
btw I absolutely suggest going into the settings and lowering the projectile speed slider down by at least one notch until you get used to them
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
okay got killed by a Cyberdemon yippe
This is off topic lol but does anyone else play with the melee/parry slow motion off? It feels alot better imo lol
do you want suggestions?
doesnt that defeat the purpose? Playing stuff with easier mode just makes me learn less bc i get used to slower projectile speeds
first time ive died to one, I know how to fight them but one MICRO blunder just puts me at low health
Yeah but it helps you get used to their movement and when to parry
Yeah you just gotta parry them properly, no two ways about it
okay go fuck yourself i LITERALLY nearly insta killed the Cyberdemon on the second try
bro didnt touch me
Yeah, theres usually other demons you can take out for more health, thats what I usually do- alot of demons are really easy to kill once you learn how to
you're struggling to get a firm grasp on the combat loop and seem to be under the impression that brute forcing it is the only way through. You're not an absolute pro at the game you just started playing. Learn the rules before diving into the deep end
doesnt everyone kind of brute force it by dying alot
don't let overconfidence and ego ruin your first time playing
what overconfidence im dying like at least once or twice per ecnounter
thats just me being ass
you're also refusing to drop even a single slider from nightmare while actively being beat to death
which won't get you anywhere
fine ill play on UV, you make a fair point
lol
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
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.
super duper agreed, quite literally could not agree more
You're super duper! ^_^
i agree i hate the eternal fans especially
I usually start on Hurt me Plenty so i can get the feel of the game
and im one of them kinda, i tell other people to not worry but when im concerned i MUST torture my balls with Nightmare
same. Also hello!
Hello! 😁
Play some idk929 levels. It'll humble anyone
On Unbalanced
That made me look like a bot lol 
Anyway, sorry I interrupted convo. Carry on
Nono, youre good
one thing I think you'll learn fast is that TDA is similar to 2016 in that "random bullshit go" is an entirely valid strategy once you learn the rules of combat. just about every weapon is completely viable on its own in most situations aside from maybe the pulverizer, combat shotgun and grenade launcher
you can pick whatever you want and do just about anything as long as you respect what the game has taught you
yeah there you go! now do that to heavy demons
with SSG or Impaler shots inbetween throws/retractions
or lay down constant fire as you do it
I mean most are fine there are just some Toxic ones, TDA has the same tho and 2016
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
if they all require parries then parry them all. it's not about picking one and going for it
i know its just hard to kill anything in that state
parry, shoot, parry, shoot
i suppose
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
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
then try full auto weapons! you don't have to worry about timing your shots, only your parries
specifically the accelerator at this point in the game, I think you'll get more use out of that
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
real asf
damaging purple goo lmao
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
why does hordes pfp have a pirate hat
shit even with a full game restart
nothing happens, thanks besethda really, great job

doom games be like
also it seems like I've found the millisecond values for the parry windows in-game
Halloween
lowest parry setting has a 200ms window, then 250ms, 350ms, 500ms, and 600ms on the highest parry window
okay the solution was to do another arena then go back to this one
funny
99% complete bc i forgot to do the flail challenge
actually no i missed one secret wtf?
lol
Dog this is such a horrible idea for any challenging game
huh
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
ah yes
And I was still getting destroyed quite often 
Seige part 1 was an unforgettable humbling and learning experience, i will forever be traumatized
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
bro max projectile speed literally doubles the projectile speed
wtf 
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
sees green flash and instantly paries
I fought Asswreck and Kreed they other day with max projectile speed
Some of their projectile attacks are literally unavoidable or unreactable
fun
that's what happens when your strafe speed doesn't line up with what you're expected to strafe around
This used to not be the case but they tweaked it in a recent update
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
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
pretty much all projectiles are affected by the sliders, some just seem to be affected less by them is all I'm saying
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 
don't forget the eyepatch over the one eye
What people with autism see
YARGH THERE BE TREASURE
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
wym?
im having fun in Seige part 2, when will I get angry, I know the level is waiting to mess with me
ah I gotchu
final fight will kick your ass if you aren't careful
it's a skill check encounter, ensures that you have a firm grip on the mechanics so far
: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
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
Am I the only one who plays ripatorium?
I exist.
Nice to know I’m not alone
i play it sometimes when i get bored
Which enemy are you talking about
Agaddon hunter?
I play it too lol dw
na he’s in siege 2
hes prolly talking about the shielded chaingunner guy
Oh yeah chaingunners
Fuck em man
They have basically the same attack as arachnotrons but I just hate them 10x more
Idk why
They’re not a cool spider
You can memorise their locations, they're few in quantity
A super shotgun instantly heats their shield
Also a empowered Impaler shot
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
They're not bad
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
and then i one-shot him with my ssg and get back to the baron
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
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
honestly valid
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
I just hate vagary for how tanky they are tbh. They alone can ruin your run because of how tanky they are
One upside to them is that they give me infinite parry charged rockets
Yes. And they give you parries for your shield runes
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
I always fight vagaries with the rocket launcher idk why
Natural instinct
sounds interesting
Me too
I think it might be because i get to spam parry charged rockets like i said
enjoy the NG+ experience teaser 
we getting ng+?
Yeh 
teaser for ng+???
Yeeeeh 
where?
Controller gameplay and no Dreadmace btw
this encounter was revealing to me in many ways, it demonstrated to me the potential that master levels can have in this game for a fun challenge with many heavies and super-heavies present, now I'm looking forward more than ever to the master levels for this game in future updates!
master levels, NG+ missions
same shit really
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
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
let them cook
They dont need to release a road map, this isnt a live service game
that is why i said if

id signature series merch is out (on the US store only atm)
@obsidian shard
@warm ibex
I swear I saw the maykr tee a few months ago being revealed
ye that one was revealed, the print is the same but the shirt itself is a lil different
they showed a couple designs on the hugo stream
they showed a cthulhu one that isnt a part of this first batch
Honestly, this line looks sick, revenant gotta be my fav
yep, 4 ppl from the art team at Id got to design one each
only one im not getting is the hoodie cuz i dont ever wear hoodies and its a lil expensive for me atm
They gotta release the second series for 2016's anniversary or something
Anyways gtg, have a good day
cya u too
where doom 
Peak
The Revenant and Soldier Ones are my Favourite ngl
Also, i really like how they have the artists wearing/advertising ther Merch!
ye i wonder if its soon or if its after december when they actually ship the first batch
They all cooked
This One is my favourite so far (Aside from The Old One shirt)

Okay
Just tried another build
And i now love flail + autoturret too
Power gauntlet + ground fissure, flail + autoturret and dreadmace + heaven splitter are now my 3 favorite builds
What should i try with heavenly swarm?
what time to update start?
what update?
ye what update lol
Last stream Hugo mentioned there would be a small balance patch coming at some point but he never specified when it would come
DOOM: The Dark Ages | Hugo Martin's Game Director Playthrough - Ch. 14 - Resurrection
Join us as DOOM: The Dark Ages' Game Director Hugo Martin plays through a different level per week while providing his unique insights into the game’s design.
Our weekly DOOM Eternal Mods Spotlight featured:
A work in progress mod called "Remnant" by Saleem...
link is up
Lets goo
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
like wolfenstein?
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
priest porridge in dark ages when hugo?
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
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
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
Wait they still didn't fix this bug lol?
Its well known concurrently
its being worked on
but id is a relatively small studio
Yeah I heard it like a month ago. I thought this one would be fixed fast
Are they?
less than 200 Employees
Has this happened to you @obsidian shard ?
it has not
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
Yeah the only problem is not being able to restart checkpoint
Thee only main issue with the Ripatorium bug is that GK dont exist
so you cant kill leaders
Yep. I’ve reported and they said they would look into. Even showed them a video. Uninstalled and reinstalled per their suggestion and it still didn’t stop. Not sure what exactly is happening to trigger it
Drove me crazy on my first run during the Enhanced Ahzrak fight
no slow mo on is just so much better omg
its so fun its like unplayable with slow mo on
how did you get that bug?
are you on pc also
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.
Im on console
makes me wonder if this is console exclusive bug
It mostly appears to be that The Ripatorium is Clashing with The Campaign and causing bugs
Ya played some Ripatorium then decided to play some Campaign
Yeah this happens to me on the odd checkpoint reload after dying. It'll take longer than usual to get back into the game and when I do sometimes I'll have enemies already firing projectiles at me before I'm ready
At this point they should make the music changer a feature
Yup and it's stupid fast, almost impossible to react to
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
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
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
Both awesome
he made peak twice
back to back bangers
Why are you sad
My wallet cant take it anymore
Why the boo hoo
The revenant shirt is just awesome
YES i HAD to get that one
it was Between the Jacket or the Sweater
Aw man
and Master Campaign
No ripatorium challenges?
hmm
Apparently I follow you on Twitter. You appear there all the time for me

Thank you
The cardboard game doesn't come with painted miniatures, right?
Correct, they are all unpainted, however we COULD (Not Confirmed) get a painted version as a Kickstarter tier but i doubt it
Man Id kill for a statue with the tda Slayer doing that pose
I bought the Maykr shirt, $35 USD before shipping wasn't bad. I really like the soldier head design but I'm not a huge fan of the jacket, hope they put that on a shirt sometime soon
I wear those types of jackets all the time as they pair well with my Aviators
but 85$ is up there
The Revenant tee is freaking awesome to say the least
Today is going to be a very exciting day for the Stream, make sure to tune in!
Do you know something we Dont
So much merch the past week

Always. But it's gonna be a good day
Yeah I finally have a day off. Actually took it off for the Stream and it's my first day off since the 28th last month. Feels great. May take tomorrow off too
I'd never think days off would mean so much
As a kid I took them for granted
Now as a bigger kid I cherish them
Same, i worked so much last week, they gave me the day off today

Horde declares it so, therefore it is law🙏🔥
