the-dark-ages

[flat vigil]

Just dodge

[frail bloom]

Uh oh

I can't skip the cutscene

Oof

[solar cairn]

There was an arena where the corridor seems to be filled with light smoke and they give invisible pinky, it’s a real hell

[flat vigil]

Which mission was it again?

[solar cairn]

I don’t remember, but obviously after the middle of the game

[flat vigil]

Lazarus Labs?

[solar cairn]

Perhaps

[flat vigil]

If it’s that one, I didn’t find it too complicated.

[solar cairn]

Again, I’m not so much a tryharder, I like the formulas of the eternal and TDA, where there are a lot of opportunities for both the quick killing of demons and for escape

[flat vigil]

Same, I’m also casual.

[green estuary]

playstation L
I'm on steam and installed files are only 80 gigs

[flat vigil]

lol

[frail bloom]

It's soooo much gigs

Eternal is like 84

What the hell happened????

[green estuary]

odd, because eternal is 89 on steam

although that's probably because steam supports the mod launcher also

[solar cairn]

I’m quite casual, D16 and Eternal went through a nightmare, TDA passed on a complicated nightmare, it’s just sometimes it’s hard to have fun if you can’t adjust to the game

[flat vigil]

I just realized my enemy aggression was accidentally at max instead of 3/4 xD

[solar cairn]

Apparently, TDA will weigh almost the same in a year

[flat vigil]

Nice

[frail bloom]

Wdym apparently😭

Stop saying apparently

[solar spoke]

two DLC packs and a metric tonne of events that added a load of skins lol

[frail bloom]

What are you basing it off of😭

[solar spoke]

at least it's not CoD

[frail bloom]

It would be way more first off

By the end I'd assume the game is gonna be around 100 gigs

[ebon lynx]

dlc, ng+, ripatorium 2.0 and whatever else they add is going to eat the last of my ssd space

[solar cairn]

And it’s strange, the games don’t seem to be that big

I can understand why cyberpunk weighs almost 100, but not Doom

[frail bloom]

I'd guess the maps being like triple the size

[flat vigil]

I keep dying at chapter 13 with our dragon bruh

[frail bloom]

Plus way more enemies

[obsidian shard]

for double the Length of Eternal its space aint too bad

[flat vigil]

Alright I’m fine now, just needed a minute to adapt back lol.

[green estuary]

[citation needed]

[solid nacelle]

The dragon levels are pretty large. Especially the spire

[flat vigil]

They’re also pretty fun.

[green estuary]

ray tracing haters didn't like that

[solid nacelle]

I dunno about dat one!

[flat vigil]

Why do you think otherwise?

[solid nacelle]

They take a long time to navigate and the combat isn't very deep. Just dodge and shoot and fly around

[flat vigil]

Understandable.

[solid nacelle]

From the trailers it looked like they were going to include some kind of fire ball ability or something but that was cut. A shame!

[frail bloom]

Man I wanted that soooo bad

[solar cairn]

For the sake of justice, it doesn’t take so long to fly to the point, you can say it slightly lengthens the game and that’s it

[flat vigil]

Oh, I didn’t know about that since I didn’t watch the trailer. Yeah that’s a bit of a miss, it probably would’ve made these missions a lil more fun.

[solar cairn]

I hope in DLC they will focus on regular missions

[mystic barn]

Has anyone experimented with the Grenade Launcher movement tech? Blasting yourself backwards from an enemy is a pretty sweet way for an easy escape, if a little self-sacrificial

[frail bloom]

Like putting your shield up?

After blasting?

I forgot how to do it

Or not how to do it just how it goes

[gusty seal]

everyone doesnt have to worry aboout specs anymore with the new update coming!

doom will now run on your table top !!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz1p4m5iTkI

no need for a pc or console anymore. just grab a chair and sit at the dinner table and waaaaallaaaaa+

[frail bloom]

Hype

[mystic barn]

Nah, you blast yourself back using the explosion from an enemy. It's pretty cool

[frail bloom]

Hmmm

No never tried it

[gusty seal]

so is there a doom mnonth or is that quakecon? for scoobers, we have scoobtober

[solar cairn]

Some kind of dubious way to escape

[obsidian shard]

Already Pledged

[harsh egret]

its gonna be available until the 21st of nov right

[obsidian shard]

yup

which is a friday

[harsh egret]

im gonna have to save money like crazy for the next 2 weeks if i wanna get it

[obsidian shard]

Btw Pledging doesnt take funds from your account till the Kickstarter Ends!

[harsh egret]

soup water for me

[obsidian shard]

So you can Pledge now (which adds to the Fund/Stretch Goals) and not Be broke till Nov 21st!

[harsh egret]

ye ill be broke on the 21st instead, cant wait

[obsidian shard]

Cinema

also same

Funding is 78% complete!

122% till all Strech Goals are done (for now)

[harsh egret]

ye i hope it reaches the strech goals too

[obsidian shard]

Plus sounds like we will get more

[harsh egret]

ah so more expensive :d

or is that more stuff in the all in bundle

[obsidian shard]

(Hell Knights, two Expansions being the Spider Master-mind and Komodo)

[harsh egret]

is that on kickstarter or later on

[obsidian shard]

ye sounds like Stretch goals, but I hope we can just buy em

[harsh egret]

ah so they will be added to the stretch goals soon and included in the all in bundle?

what if i get everything but the trays? cuz then i can save a lil money if im not missing smth

[obsidian shard]

Both I think, Modipius is saying "wait for the coming day"
and they have been saying this:
"The Baron might be making an appearance later... keep your eyes on those Stretch Goals."
"Absolutely! Keep an eye on those stretch goals..."
"Yep! Look out for the updates in the coming days."

[harsh egret]

cuz i can get the 190 dollar both premium with reinforcements and the 2 expansions

[obsidian shard]

Depends if you want "All-in"

[harsh egret]

and save like 20 bucks at least

[obsidian shard]

so far the only thing "All-In" adds is the the 2 dice trays and the 100mm Serrat fig (Exclusive to the "All-in" Bundle)

Also I'm not counting the Stretch Goals at this time

[harsh egret]

and the atlan expansion

[obsidian shard]

That too

[harsh egret]

i dont really care about the trays thats the thing, but we will see

[obsidian shard]

But The Atlan is NOT Kickstarter Exclusive Unlike the other things ive mentioned, its all done to what you want!

[harsh egret]

oooo wait

what if i get the exclusive stuff only

and in january when i got money i can buy the rest

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[obsidian shard]

Also appears Serrat in-general is a Kickstarter exclusive... Kinda strange but whateves

But the 100mm Serrat is All-in Exclusive

So much stuff to keep track of

[harsh egret]

is it tho?

i can add the serrat expansion by itself

for 70 punds

[harsh egret]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/491020118780805140/1432873785291313242/image.png?ex=6902a333&is=690151b3&hm=1979f52dadec49a417779156f50f514216bde4c1a8b3136d676a8d57f8fc1473&

unless im misunderstanding smth, i can just do this?

[obsidian shard]

yes

but In the QNA section "Additionally, the Serrat Expansion containing the absolutely monstrous 100mm-base model of the dragon, Serrat, is exclusive to the All In pledge of this Kickstarter. Don't miss out!"

i will ask for clarification!

[harsh egret]

oh ok so then that means i would get the smaller one, while the all in bundle has the big one?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/491020118780805140/1432877057666453515/image.png?ex=6902a640&is=690154c0&hm=37af7010bbd59cca9907367d94eff1fb92bd1ab8fccab92335796270b6ffb45e&

they shouldve made this abit more clear i think

instead of having to read the qna

but either way it makes no sense cuz on the bundle by itself with the 75 pricetag it has both, so i should be getting both of them

if the expansion shows those two AND is labeled the same as what im buying, why wouldnt i get both

im losing my mind tryina understand any of this

[harsh egret]

but ye if u are asking them about this then lmk what they say, thanks a bunch

[solar cairn]

Doom: The Next Update Ages?

[frail bloom]

Prob in november

Mid november to early december

[gusty seal]

https://tenor.com/view/hungry-game-gif-5580744

spin offff game.... hear me. hungry hungry pinky's

[harsh egret]

[gusty seal]

goal is to get the green ball aka slayer. for all ages

[solar cairn]

I pray that Hugo will give us a double gift for TGA

1. Trailer release for addition

2. Patch 3.0 with a new ripatorium

[gusty seal]

remember that game where your both dinosaurs and you knock the other off to win. well demons knocking off demons! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ShL8TsjCws

[frail bloom]

Praying

I think we'll see 2.0 for the ripatorium and a trailer at the game awards in december

[green estuary]

dlc trailer in december would be so peak

[frail bloom]

That's just me

[frail bloom]

Ye perfect for the holiday season

Would brighten my mood ngl

[solar cairn]

We’ll discuss every millimeter of the trailer again

[frail bloom]

For sure

[solar cairn]

Is the next stream in a week?

[frail bloom]

It's in a week yeah

A lil more but yeah

[solid beacon]

I had some mods

[frail bloom]

Caco is nightmare fuel

[green estuary]

2016 plasma rifle with tda cacodemon is certainly a vibe

[obsidian shard]

"Yep you get 2 models in the box along with more game content. 100m base one and 40mm bare one. We will cover it more in upcoming days but the big one is massive. Its wingspan is 40cm wide! Its priced the best I could I promise. That's why we had to make it ks exclusive." from Jaime!

[harsh egret]

ok so the normal one has the 40mm one, got it

[uneven dragon]

just watched the board game trailer this looks cool

[obsidian shard]

its come with both the 100mm and 40mm

[uneven dragon]

random legacy of rust footage in there tho 😭

[harsh egret]

40cm wide is the biggest misspell ever

thats nearing prime1 statues

[obsidian shard]

15 inches

[harsh egret]

ah my bad, i was thinking of one wing, not both

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-willem-dafoe-duh-duhh-obviously-gif-16794513

[harsh egret]

wait so this means that only the big model is exclusive right, not the expansion itself

[obsidian shard]

The Expansion is KS exclusive!

But Buying the Expasion itself gets you the big Serrat Model!

(First Big Piece of Serrat Merch)

[harsh egret]

well if ur buying the all in bundle

i might have to stick to the small serrat

[obsidian shard]

Fun Fact the that serrat "mini" had a 50cm at one point and we had to scale it down as that was too big"

[harsh egret]

lmao damn

[obsidian shard]

Nope big one is part of the Small 70£ bundle

[harsh egret]

ok so this is just not correct then
"Additionally, the Serrat Expansion containing the absolutely monstrous 100mm-base model of the dragon, Serrat, is exclusive to the All In pledge of this Kickstarter. Don't miss out!"

[foggy kestrel]

Right I lurk here too haha (im the doom project manager at modiphius). Iill answer questions when I can!

[harsh egret]

oh nice

yeah im tryina understand what is exclusive and what isnt and to what

[foggy kestrel]

Serrat expansion is ks exclusive. It contains both a 100mm base serrat (big one) and 40mm base (small one)

Big one has a 40cm wingspan its dumb and I love it

[harsh egret]

right, but the FAQ says what i quoted above

so i got really confused

[obsidian shard]

FInally some Good ol Serrat merch (we've been waiting for so long)

[foggy kestrel]

True and ill get that sorted in the morning

[harsh egret]

oh ok great!

well thats awesome then

[foggy kestrel]

It should say serrat expansion is ks exclusive rather than just serrat. Easy miss pn my part and ill get it updated tomorrow.

[obsidian shard]

Also thanks a ton for Creating this!! Cant wait to play it Next year
AND cant believe we are 81% Funded

Plus its nice to get some Serrat Merch (bethesda been leaving us Dry)

[harsh egret]

Yeah it looks amazing and im really glad to hear that the big serrat isnt all in exclusive since im not able to pay for everything right now so i can just get the exclusive things now and the rest in january or whenever they become available

[harsh egret]

actually i do have another question, when will they become available to buy again after the kickstarter is over?

[obsidian shard]

Only thing i know is that The KS Exclusive Stuff Typically NEVER Goes back on sale!

if that helps a lil...

[harsh egret]

yeah i meant everything apart from the ks exclusive things

cuz i can get those in january but i can get the exclusive stuff rn

[green estuary]

so rn I'm working on tweaking some of the demon AI

we're gonna see if the baron is ultra aggressive now

[foggy kestrel]

So we are planning to be fulfilling by October next year at latest so November next year we will hit retail.

[harsh egret]

sounds good

[green estuary]

ok the cosmic baron is officially on crack

[obsidian shard]

whut....

[green estuary]

essentially the biggest problem I've had with the big melee bruisers (battle knight and cosmic baron) is that they're trivialized by simply getting very far away from them and baiting them into giving you a parryable projectile from range (battle knight isn't that tanky though, so you can kinda just burst him down quickly anyway if you wanted to I guess)
and since you have shield runes and parryable projectiles deal damage on top of faltering said demons, you can basically just run away and never have to engage with their melee attacks, which is their whole point
so I made it so that the baron's reflected projectile both deals less damage to itself and doesn't contribute to its falter bar, so you can't just snipe him from long range while he kills himself by lobbing projectiles at you--instead, he tosses a projectile or two and instantly begins sprinting after you to melee you, regardless of whether you parry the projectile back at him
that and I increased his base movement speed and turn rate, so he's all around just more intimidating

[harsh egret]

that sounds kinda cool actually

[green estuary]

I would send a video but my poor laptop drops frames like nobody's business when I screen capture

[obsidian shard]

Sick asf ngl, i would totally add that to my game but im on console

[harsh egret]

instant replay

[green estuary]

i'll try that

[green estuary]

@harsh egret @obsidian shard
#videos message

this is at 100% game speed, mind you

[harsh egret]

dayum, ye i like that

[green estuary]

he still badly needs an HP buff though

[harsh egret]

i agree

[green estuary]

except the problem with HP values is that if you edit them, a lot of times it can ruin compatibility with custom maps

which is annoying

even with 50% damage to demons, he still has the exact same HP as a leader cyberdemon on 100% damage, which is kinda hilarious

[cerulean pagoda]

it took 6 hours to beat belly of the beast on max sliders

[green estuary]

that tracks lmao

I can only imagine how cancer the stomach acid must be on 500% damage

[cerulean pagoda]

cthulhus stomach acid is the main reason cancer exists

on max sliders

[green estuary]

did you manage to complete the secret encounter where you get the komodo toy?

(I'm not even gonna ask if you beat the other secret encounter, cuz ain't no way )

[cerulean pagoda]

i know about it i didnt do it on this run

i just wanted it over

[green estuary]

understandable

[scenic lichen]

this looks sick

[green estuary]

thank you

[scenic lichen]

I’d love to play with this

I’m also playing with your flail buff mod on 50% dmg and boosted armor makes it a lot more fun

[green estuary]

I'm working on a big gameplay overhaul mod but I could honestly post the standalone cosmic baron changes right now on nexus

might just do that

[obsidian shard]

oh lord

[harsh egret]

[green estuary]

all right @scenic lichen it's up

[scenic lichen]

fuck yeaaah

[green estuary]

do any of you guys have YT channels by any chance? I'd like to post the short demo video on the mod page but nexus only lets me use youtube vids

[scenic lichen]

gonna add that tmrw

[harsh egret]

@solid beacon u good bruh?

[solid beacon]

I'm good is my head.

[green estuary]

[harsh egret]

I could help ya with that when i wake up in like 8 hrs unless u find someone else by then

[green estuary]

alr thanks

[silent trail]

What is with the extra life in Pandemonium? I've keep having runs where some lives don't spawn.

[meager vortex]

pandemonium difficulty you can start 1 life and you can collect 4 life if you lost 1 life you will revive but if you lost all life game is over

just eternal extral life difficulty

but pandemonium is little different extra life mode from eternal game started extra lives+difficulty(for example 3 extra lives+ nightmare) but pandemonium difficulty= extra life(started 1 life the other life is must find out your self)

[mystic barn]

Has anyone with the artbook been able to rip the artwork from the app?

[meager vortex]

the art of the doom the dark ages yes

premium edition digital art book and digital sound track

[mystic barn]

Never mind guys, figured it out. Got all the original PNGs now

[harsh egret]

lmk if u still needed help

or just dm me the vid and stuff

[green falcon]

Leave the football before the football leaves you

[hearty edge]

that looks so funny

[solid beacon]

Mehu

[silent trail]

No, I mean when I go to the areas where extra lives are, they aren't there.

[meager vortex]

no lives?

have you find life sigil?

green slayer helmet

[green estuary]

pandaemonium for whatever reason seems to be incredibly buggy as of the game's current patch

not sure why

[silent trail]

Ah ok. Weirdly enough the extra lives started showing up half way through the second level.

Some of them don't however

[silent trail]

Yes, but they aren't always there. Sometimes I find them in the locations they're shown to be and sometimes they are not there.

[fervent maple]

Extra Lives on Pandemonium seem to be tied to your save SLOT (not the file itself)

I've done runs on save filed that I've deleted in the same slot, and extra lives I've picked up in past runs don't show up again

You can fix it by starting the run in another save slot

It seems to refresh the other one as well (somehow?)

[silent trail]

Now that you mention that, The lives I picked up in previous runs do seem to correspond with lives that don't appear in new runs.

[solid beacon]

I have played animal crossing game once and i have 50k bell's one time.

2001 version

To build the braige

[silent trail]

Do you still have the save?

[fervent maple]

My theory is that it might be a strange interaction with how Pandemonium is meant to work.
You pick up lives in a level, die, and restart the level from scratch, with the added condition that lives don't respawn. I suspect that the way it was implemented causes lives to not respawn on that slot under any circumstances until you start from a different one.

I found this out the hard way. On my second-to-last Pandemonium run, I collected nearly every life in the game up to Resurrection and died to Enhanced Ahzrak. Essentially, I was a couple tries off from doing a UN run, since I literally had no additional lives for most of the game.

[silent trail]

That is unfortunate, but I think that might be the most likely case.

[harsh egret]

i think submitting a ticket about these things is the best way to go about it if u actually want it fixed tho tbh

[fervent maple]

Yeah, it's not too much to fret over, at least. If anything, it only further cemented to me how much permadeath-type gamemodes are all about nerve.

I'd still submit a ticket about it, anywho.

[harsh egret]

im sure others have in the past but i have no idea what of this is a new issue and what isnt so

[solid beacon]

No.

[hard thistle]

My dual-barrel Plasma Rifle shoots from the wrong place instead of the barrels. Does anyone else have this bug?

[steady elbow]

I have heard of others complaining about this, so I'd wager it may be at least known.

[hard thistle]

This started for me since update 2.0

[dark thunder]

I wonder what doom would have been like if they didnt do the ancient gods and decided to do the soldier dlc

would they have made a whole game out of the ancient gods

[uncut needle]

i hope in the dlc we get to fight a titan without the dragon 😭 or mech

[solar cairn]

How?

[frail bloom]

No clue but if they pull it off it would be peak

(Assuming we're not fighting at an elevation)

[uncut needle]

cuz hes the doomslayer

[warm ibex]

the icon of sin sure wasn't peak

[green estuary]

preach

[frail bloom]

Ye "assuming we're not fighting at an elevation"

So a building

So you know

[warm ibex]

fighting at an elevation is not at all what was wrong with the icon of sin fight 😭

"Boy howdy, mindlessly pumping shots into a walking bullet sponge that requires me to utilize zero of the skills I learned throughout the campaign while occasionally stopping to take out heavies with my instakill lightsaber sure is fun, if only it was at ground level instead"

[frail bloom]

I was referencing it first of all and second of all fighting half of its body is lame and ground level is much cooler

Plus I never said I liked it

[warm ibex]

shooting a bullet sponge at ground level sounds like more of a pain in the ass than doing it at hip level 🤷‍♀️

[frail bloom]

I was just saying that them making a titan fight at ground level seems much harder to make then having a fight ontop of a building but if they pull it off, and pull it off good which is what I'm implying, then it would be peak

I wouldn't call the icon fight pulled off

More like dropped

[warm ibex]

I thought the titan part of the turret segment was kinda lame

not that the turret segments are spectacular to begin with, but once the titan gets close you're kinda just staring straight up trying to hit its chest/head

which feels awkward, especially for a game that's so horizontal

[frail bloom]

Well yeah I was hoping for slayer combat not the 2 min turret segments

They're good as spectacle

But like never again

No more turret sections id

[warm ibex]

my point was that if shooting titans at ground level is awkward in a turret segment I can't see it being any less awkward as the Slayer lol

[frail bloom]

Well yeah it's a hypothetical I don't think it's impossible

It depends on how they handle it

Like maybe we climb the titan like some god of war thing idk

[solar cairn]

Will the shot from BFC pierce Titan?

[frail bloom]

I mean it killed the old one

So a titan is def dying

[solar cairn]

Every day we are getting closer to the trailer of the addition

Doom: The Game Awards Ages

[flat vigil]

I’ve been stuck in the Enhanced Ahzrak boss fight for like 15 minutes now. 😭 I keep selling in the second half. Any tips?

Nvm I managed to finish it

[uncut needle]

lol

[flat vigil]

Oh wait he has a transformation-

[green estuary]

[flat vigil]

Well it was surprisingly easier lol

[green estuary]

his third phase or his second phase

[flat vigil]

Idk man, it’s the Final Battle chapter.

[green estuary]

no I mean his boss phases
he has 3 phases, which one did you mean when you said it was easier

[flat vigil]

I only saw 2 so far. Maybe it’s ‘cause I still haven’t finished watching the cutscene lol

Ok yeah I’m at the third now.

[frosty roost]

I think he means the 2nd boss fight before the last chapter

[green estuary]

have fun

[frosty roost]

also who's your favourite character in TDA? mine's obviously Doom Slayer but I also love Novik he's so cool

[flat vigil]

I think Ahzrak is a pretty cool character imo, even if I also prefer Doomslayer, obviously.

[frosty roost]

ahzrak is so sick, wanna hear his backstory or something

[flat vigil]

Ok ngl, his third phase is making me regret playing on ultra violence instead of hurt me plenty like I did in the other Dooms lol

[uncut needle]

when i first played in UV enhanced ahzrak was such a difficulty jump from the rest of the game

[flat vigil]

Real

[uncut needle]

like borderline "where the hell was this for the first 20 levels?"

[flat vigil]

I agree

The first 20 chapters were quite easy overall, and then we get hit with this 😭

[uncut needle]

on my 2nd playthrough it was a little bit better but i stand by that its poorly designed at least on ultra violence for some reason

(those stupid wings hiding his windups)

[solar cairn]

Demon stories are not particularly interesting, except for the one who made the armor

But Fira and her abilities were not revealed at all, who and what, from where, where she then disappeared

[green estuary]

the last time I fought enhanced ahzrak I beat him on 300% damage with min parry window
he's unforgiving, but poorly designed--absolutely not

[uncut needle]

poorly designed on ultra violence

simply because the difficulty jump is so severe on that level

[green estuary]

why specifically on ultra violence

the difficulty jump mainly comes because you're forced to parry accurately

[uncut needle]

Yes.

[frail bloom]

He also isn't faltered as easily

Gotta be careful with your melee strikes

[green estuary]

it's too bad that the game lets you get away with a lot of mistakes early on

[uncut needle]

if there was more precision needed for most the game it wouldnt have been a big issue. the aggadons or barons couldve solved this

[green estuary]

especially with the way too forgiving parry window

[frail bloom]

He's not that big of a jump tho and it's near the end of the game

Not poorly designed at all

[green estuary]

I suppose he's a big jump if you've been avoiding melee combat the rest of the game

[frail bloom]

At least he makes you utilize what you've been doing for the whole game

[flat vigil]

I can confirm.

[uncut needle]

nah he really is especially for a first time and especially going from arena fights in UV to that one

[frail bloom]

What the hell does the icon teach you

[uncut needle]

id say most players are going to play TDA their first time like yknow a shooter

[frail bloom]

Nothing.

[green estuary]

it tought me how clunky the crucible unsheath animation is

[uncut needle]

"ok heres a crucial part of TDA's combat loop u need, you learn it on the 20th level lmao"

[green estuary]

although I will say that tda has a problem with parry windows being too forgiving

[frail bloom]

He prob is a un end runner ngl

Has like 4 phases

[frail bloom]

I like them how they are

[green estuary]

default parry window for nightmare is 350 milliseconds

that's huge

[frail bloom]

I don't wanna hear CLANK every 10 seconds

[green estuary]

imo it waters down the difficulty

[frail bloom]

Well

[uncut needle]

its every 10s because of how long the slow down is, its actually constant lmao

[frail bloom]

Mine's a diff story

[green estuary]

turn slow mo off if you don't like the slowdown periods my guy

[frail bloom]

You'll get better at managing it trust

It's a diff type of practice

[flat vigil]

Yeah, that’s why I made the slow down faster in the settings.

[green estuary]

if I'm to compare that parry window to sekiro (not that I'm drawing a big comparison between the two games, but it's just to get a sense of the precision needed), its parry window is 200 milliseconds, which is exactly the same as the minimum parry window in tda

[uncut needle]

imma say a hot take (probably not actually)
the sliders were a copout because the balance isnt as polished

[frail bloom]

Wroooooonnnggg

[green estuary]

not a hot take
just a bad take

[frail bloom]

The sliders are options for a reason, I argue eternal and 2016 should've had options

They're not for balancing, it's just what you find fun

Some ppl find slo mo fun, others don't

Some find min parry window fun, some don't

Some find 150% speed fun, some don't

[green estuary]

2016's nightmare difficulty is almost cartoonish, whereas anything under nightmare in eternal is incredibly forgiving

[topaz oasis]

150% speed is the most balanced way of playing the game

[frail bloom]

GET OUTTA HERE

[uncut needle]

2016 ultra nightmare when i glitch into a ledge on foundry

[green estuary]

in tda perhaps the difficulty needs to be a bit higher for default nightmare but at least the difficulty scales up much smoother

[frail bloom]

But hey if he wants 150% he has the choice to

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/low-tier-god-awesome-mario-twerking-gif-23644561

[flat vigil]

I’ma try 150% speed and see if it’s true lol

[uncut needle]

if 150% didnt speed up the music id play it more

[green estuary]

spoiler alert: || it's not ||

[frail bloom]

It doesn't

[green estuary]

it does not

[frail bloom]

Bro where did you hear that

[green estuary]

only the dialogue

[uncut needle]

probably when i tried it 2 days ago super sick after taking my nyquil lmao

[frail bloom]

Ye not possible

You were outta the loop

[green estuary]

yeah game speed sliders does not change the music at all

[topaz oasis]

Lmao 150% speed speeding the music up would be hilarious

[frail bloom]

Unchained predator at 150%

Just a bunch of noise

[topaz oasis]

@green estuary i need a mod that does just that pls 🙏

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/the-boys-s4-homelander-cough-disgust-gif-15540398707739933423

[uncut needle]

nightcore fans be like "yo this is peak"

[flat vigil]

I mean, it feels nice to run faster, but that’s kinda it lol

[topaz oasis]

You're gonna love it, just like I loved it

[uncut needle]

2 full games, 2 DLC's, and we still havent seen Valen swing his hammer

[ashen fiber]

Kaibz Mod at 150% speed before Update 2.0 was fucking crazy

[topaz oasis]

It takes some getting used to

[flat vigil]

Yeah but no thanks. I’m going back to 100%

[solid nacelle]

Very funny how in the beginning cutscene for reckoning there's a shot of him lifting his hammer like he's about to use it and then it cuts away

[green estuary]

because it didn't apply slow mo to parries and melee
making 150 speed literally be 150 speed

[flat vigil]

I wonder why I’m struggling a lot more against Ahzrak’s third phase even tho it’s almost the same.

[uncut needle]

cuz its harder

[flat vigil]

It’s literally almost the same tho.

[ashen fiber]

Yeah, I know. It changes the engine's "internal speed" which results in a lot of jank at the expense of a lot of fun

[topaz oasis]

Asswreck wrecking your ass? 😳

[green estuary]

he's more aggressive

[uncut needle]

How to Imrove TDA:
-we have to manually climb that one set of stairs
-Ahzrak has sunglasses now
-Serrat survives
-triple the swimming sections

[flat vigil]

Oh. Ok.

[flat vigil]

Serrat was goated

[topaz oasis]

NO

[uncut needle]

ok itd be total fanservice but what if we find serrat in hell cuz hes dead

[topaz oasis]

Keep the fricking lizard 10ft underground

[ashen fiber]

Here is my "tutorial"

[topaz oasis]

I dont want him ruining my dlc experience

[topaz oasis]

DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS

[green estuary]

he's fighting enhanced ahzrak

[uncut needle]

yknow whats always funny to me are TDA "Edits"

[ashen fiber]

I did that too but don't have it uploaded. Enhanced was definitely harder though

[uncut needle]

like doom eternal or 2016 edits are usually insane techs and hot swaps and really skilled stuff and tda edits are usually like "woah i parried into a shield bash into a mace hit im so good"

[green estuary]

"really skilled stuff" lmao

[uncut needle]

the example i mean is uhh forgor his name but just look up kadingir sanctum

idk i have yet to see a TDA edit that doesnt look basic and slow

[flat vigil]

The main thing I see that I struggle with against his third phase is just parrying.

[green estuary]

yeah I've seen this one
still don't understand why people are so incredibly impressed by holding down the fire button and pressing weapon hotkeys

[ashen fiber]

Just increase the video speed by 200% and add some phonk music bro

[uncut needle]

omg ur so right ill throw in 1.75x speed unchained predator

[ashen fiber]

genius...

[uncut needle]

he was like the first ive seen to do it thats probably why

[green estuary]

the further along in that video I got, the less impressed I was

[uncut needle]

true

[green estuary]

because I realized the guy had literally just memorized all the spawn points

[uncut needle]

tbh i think thats a big problem with modern doom in general

[green estuary]

that's not a problem, that's just how arena shooters are

[uncut needle]

doom is very replayable but knowing how to abuse trigger spawns kinda makes it feel cheap

[green estuary]

it's just equivalent to playing a souls game so much that you memorize everything

[ashen fiber]

You can say this about any game that has any scripted sequence (i.e., every game)

[frosty roost]

ohhh

[cerulean pagoda]

Hi

[green estuary]

hello there

[cerulean pagoda]

I just beat harbor of souls on max sliders

[ashen fiber]

I've replayed Half Life 2 trillions of times and it's not any less fun despite knowing every single trigger in the entire game

[cerulean pagoda]

I'm 3 levels away from this torture being over

[flat vigil]

Can’t believe I had to use a second life just to finish him off ‘cause I died when he was at 1 HP.

[green estuary]

it's part of the reason why the most impressive eternal gameplay is on blind playthroughs of new content
because you can actually see the skill being expressed instead of rote memorization making the guy look like a gaming savant

[uncut needle]

y my most impressive gameplay is always the holt ( i keep forgetting it somehow)

[cerulean pagoda]

I'm nervous for enhanced azhrak

[ashen fiber]

I agree

[flat vigil]

Which difficulty are you on?

[cerulean pagoda]

Max sliders

[green estuary]

yes

[uncut needle]

nightmare? pan? un?

[flat vigil]

Yeah you’re cooked.

[green estuary]

literally all of the sliders at their hardest setting

[uncut needle]

but do he got lives

[cerulean pagoda]

I have infinite lives

I'm not doing this shit on un my man

[uncut needle]

lol

[green estuary]

one does not simply save life sigils on a max sliders run

[cerulean pagoda]

Once I finish this I may need therapy

[green estuary]

you get them, and then you lose them within the next 5 minutes

[cerulean pagoda]

Constantly hoping that the next projectile that hits me is a parryable and if it's not goodbye I'm dead

[ashen fiber]

Turn Ahzrak into a pinhead

[cerulean pagoda]

I know spamming impaler is the best strat

But on max sliders idk

[green estuary]

ahzrak probably isn't that much harder than normal on max sliders

[uncut needle]

r u on 150 also

[green estuary]

because the worst part about max sliders is the projectile speed, and he doesn't throw any unparryable ones unless you fuck up

[cerulean pagoda]

Yes

My main worry about the azhrak fight is the spikes

Because your melee doesn't go faster most times if you fuck up and get thrown back he spawns the spikes, breaks your shield and you're cooked

[flat vigil]

Idk what I did but all of the enemies are red now. How do I undo that?

[frail bloom]

I'll continue max sliders after my ln3 playthrough

[frail bloom]

Ehhhh no

MAX EM SLIDERS!

[mystic barn]

When I ripped those art files, I found some pretty interesting information that I don't know if anyone else has discussed. The "Worlds" artwork is numbered 1-18 with the level specified after the number. For example the artworks for Village of Khalim are titled 01Kaleem_1 and so on (interesting that they changed the spelling but kept the same pronunciation). This goes on for 02SentinelBarracks, 03Aratum, 04Siege, 05Forge, 06Armada (Sentinel Command Station and From Beyond), and 07TerrorBelow (Spire of Nerathul). We then come to 08_1. There is no level title, but in these artworks a small watermark notes that this level would have been a Wraith Temple. One of the most intriguing artworks here is what seems to be the centre of Argent D'Nur. Interestingly, the inside of the planet has cultivated its own environment thanks to The World Spear. After these artworks, we have concepts for 09FinalBattle (which may have been renamed retroactively), 10KreedShip (either there was a level taking place here or it was just ideation for cutscenes and whatever else), 11Hebeth (if we're to assume the artworks are listed in level order, it's curious then that Hebeth takes place in the second half), 12Atlan_Cockpit, 13Hell, 14Hell, 15Styx (Harbor of Souls), and then 16Limbo. These are the most exciting pieces for me as it implies there was originally an entire level dedicated to the ghostly plain we see at the start of Resurrection. Featured heavily in these artworks is the really cool brainstem/hivemind creature (which also appears in some of the Hell artwork too), as well as architecture that closely reflects Ingmore's Sanctum from The Blood Swamps. After this is 17Belly and 18Cosmic. It's possible that these unused ideas are reused for the DLC. I hope we see that brainstem/hivemind creature in a future level, because it is awesome

[uncut needle]

are there only the 3 skins + default for the guns?

[warm ibex]

Nathan Elmer's ArtStation post refers to it as the "Limbo Level", so it definitely seems like all of those Limbo concepts were originally for an entire dedicated chapter! And very good finds overall man, I'm surprised it took this long for someone to really dig into the digital art book

[meager vortex]

how ripped art files?

[uncut needle]

just tried with zero slow mo on parry

oooohhhh that feels very nice

[mystic barn]

I used a program called AssetRipper, which takes Unity engine files and converts them into something readable, in this case images

[mystic barn]

As am I! I really only investigated the “Worlds” chapter. I’m not sure if there’s anything else of interest in the other sections, but I’ll be sure to update if anything pops up

[warm ibex]

I would expect the Cyberdemon concepts to be labeled Tyrant and Old One to be labeled as Cthulhu

Which is interesting, at least imo

[mystic barn]

And you’re 100% spot on with that

[warm ibex]

that checks out! The Old One is placed in the C section and Cyberdemon is placed in the T section

also believe that's their internal names as well

[dark thunder]

Did anyone else struggle to find the last secret on spire of nerathul i can't find it on that or karthul marshes

[topaz oasis]

I never struggled with any secret in a doom game tbh

Because I skipped most of them

[red peak]

Thats wallpaper worthy lol

I just wish the text wasnt there

[uneven dragon]

given tda why did they even call them tyrants in eternal

it's just silly in retrospect

[topaz oasis]

Next doom game they need to call them cybertyrants or I aint buying

[hard thistle]

I wish they'd called them Tyrants in TDA.

I actually liked that name to distinguish them from 2016's Cyberdemon.

[uneven dragon]

I agree

Instead now we’re in some silly timeline where the only one based on the og Cyberdemon isn’t called a Cyberdemon lol

So the release is really in December

[harsh egret]

we dont know bruh

[solar cairn]

We know this chat has been thinking 2 steps ahead for a long time

[harsh egret]

what

[solar cairn]

Release in December, intuition doesn’t let me down

[obsidian shard]

It will release when I say it releases

[harsh egret]

^

[green estuary]

do me a favor and revise this to say it'll release in 2 years or something
because every statement of yours like this just ends up being incorrect

[solar cairn]

Ripatorium 3.0 is in operation by the way

[green estuary]

bro 😭
ripatorium 2.0 hasn't even been teased yet

what are you talking about

[solar cairn]

I’m sure

A year of support implies this

Ripatorium 2.0 will be released in December, then there are still six months left, obviously there will be 3.0

[dark thunder]

why did they think that a turret section would be a good idea

[warm ibex]

they normally don't, no. should they though? yeah absolutely

[half marlin]

he forgor
about ||dlc...||

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/jordan-stop-it-gif-15830202965985496707

[solar cairn]

I hope it’s already at the final stage of development

[green estuary]

they aren't a good idea per se
but there are literally 2 of them in the entire game and they both take like 30 seconds each

[dark thunder]

Let me fight the titans one on one let me at em

[solar cairn]

Using BFC?

[green estuary]

frankly
would be lame as hell

[warm ibex]

trading mid for mid, how thrilling

[dark thunder]

My fists

Let me be lore accurate slayer for just a second

[warm ibex]

you play as lore accurate slayer

the whole "he only uses guns for fun" and "he canonically only uses fists" junk is exactly that... junk

[dark thunder]

I just wish it was something else that’s all

[green estuary]

bro

they literally take 1 minute of total game time

[covert blaze]

So he can't just rip and tear?

[dark thunder]

I am not complaining lmao

Just like what was their thought process when doing it

Cause it’s unusual

[green estuary]

the lore is irrelevant to gameplay
we use guns in doom games because it is an fps and guns are fun

[dark thunder]

let a mf dream

[solar cairn]

Then why are there sections with berserk?

[green estuary]

because doom has had berserk powerups since 1993

that's not lore, that's just paying homage to a game design decision

[dark thunder]

thats when hes like really pissed

[warm ibex]

representation of the Slayer's rage, it seems

[dark thunder]

when he's super super angry he can rip and tear with his hands

the dreadnought musta pissed him off real bad cause if im not mistaken he killed that one with his hands

[solar cairn]

Berserk vs Titan mode

[obsidian shard]

Eternals support was almost 2 years, I'm not surprised if it's the same for TDA

[warm ibex]

I mean he can do that whenever he wants lol

[obsidian shard]

Pretty much

He's technically a demi-god

[dark thunder]

thats what im saying is if we got to experience that but with a titan that would be sick

[obsidian shard]

Or a full one, depends on your stance of the lore

[warm ibex]

@hard thistle can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe it's ever stated that he killed the Dreadnought (or any lore Titan) with his fists

[covert blaze]

But he killed the Kahn Maykr, so I think he should be considered a minor god.

[obsidian shard]

Then he killed god

[dark thunder]

I just thought he did idk all i know is he fucked him up

[solar cairn]

Why?

[covert blaze]

Yeah, fair.

[hard thistle]

It isn't. I think Hugo jokingly said so in some con or whatever, but as far as in-game into goes:

• The Great One from Doom 2016 was simply killed in a battle. All that is said is it and the Slayer fought, and the Great One fell.
• The Dreadnought was "killed" with the Crucible.

[warm ibex]

I thought so! Thank you 🙏

[obsidian shard]

It's the single biggest Mistake people make of DOOM lore

[covert blaze]

So, the Icon of Sin is not dead?

[dark thunder]

so when he takes on titans one on one he just uses a crucible

makes sense i guess i overestimated his strength

[obsidian shard]

Second one is the crucible being made of Argent energy

[warm ibex]

While it's stupid as hell, one of the funniest lore misconceptions from the 2016/early Eternal era is that he killed the Great One with his fists while completely naked

[hard thistle]

It is, because Davoth died. But he did not kill it at the end of the base game, no. He put it in stasis using the Crucible. Davoth dying presumably vaporized it along with every other demon outside Hell.

[covert blaze]

What is the Crucible made of, not Argent energy, maybe plasma?

[dark thunder]

I thought the icon was dead because the only way to kill them was with a crucible i guess he must be special

[obsidian shard]

Wraith

Crimson Wraith energy

[covert blaze]

Ok, I haven't played the Ancient Gods yet.

[covert blaze]

Dang, so he has a pool of it at his base.

[obsidian shard]

Im confused how people mix this fact up when it's one of the few that's directly stated in the codex

[dark thunder]

I wonder what he can take on then with just his fists

imagine just being a titan and then u fucking explode and ur not dead ur just there forever

[hard thistle]

The Crucible uses Wraith Energy, yes.

[covert blaze]

Oh, I didn't read the Codex, my mistake.

[obsidian shard]

plus doesn't help that the Fandom wiki says it uses Argent

The True DOOM Wiki knows Most of their stuff however

[warm ibex]

it also doesn't help that they never do a great job of defining what's argent energy and wraith energy

[hard thistle]

Even doomwiki.org makes mistakes, like calling Davoth the Dark Lord of the Fourth Age.

[dark thunder]

I thought it was just blue is wraith energy and red is argent

[warm ibex]

see you'd think that

[obsidian shard]

Sentinel Energy doesn't help either which is also Blue

[dark thunder]

now show someone valen's purple hammer on tag 2's art cover

confuse them

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-gif-4007870892487612180

[dark thunder]

how many fucking times has the icon been "killed"

[hard thistle]

No.

Wraith Energy is energy from Wraiths.
Sentinel Energy is either Wraith Energy or Primordium Essence, which they harvest from Ancestrals.
Argent Energy is Wraith Energy that has been tampered with or purified. This includes both 2016's Argent (purified Wraith Energy) and Nekravol Argent (Wraith Energy + Hell's Essence)

too many inconsistencies i give up

Does anyone have any tip(s) for me to beat the last mission on nightmare with the modification 500% damage to player?

[obsidian shard]

Kill the demons and don't die

[flat vigil]

🔥

[obsidian shard]

Real tip is save BFG for final arena (before the ship)

[flat vigil]

BFG is cheating tho

[obsidian shard]

NO IT'S NOT

/kill All entities

[flat vigil]

It’s way too OP.

[obsidian shard]

Use the BFC

[flat vigil]

How the hell was I still alive at 0 HP

Was my HP on 0.1 or smth lol

when doom bible comes out

[summer heart]

hi

im bad at TDA

[flat vigil]

Same

[umbral flint]

Did the game get any better optimization? I have a i714700kf and 3070 but it would crash once a day for every day

Also the last mission would just be a black screen with audio of the cutscene

[ebon lynx]

maybe a little since the handheld compatibility update but idk

[umbral flint]

Im also had to upgrade my power supply since it wasnt good so that might be the reason why

[neon perch]

You already hold things in both hands and the weapons are one-handed.

And if anyone disagrees with me, just imagine.

Imagine reloading the SSG with one flick of the wrist.

Thats my entire sales pitch.

You don't even need to say anything.

[strong moth]

I’m for it! Dark Ages is my favorite entry and I’ll take any and all Dark Ages content that will be existing so sign me up

I’m pretty happy for defeating Enhanced Ahzrak on nightmare difficulty with the damage to player at 500%

Took me several tries tho xD

[obsidian shard]

Its got 13R on each side of the cover tho

He's a bit on the chunky side, lil of a chunky monkey

Which has no effect on how awesome he is

Witch won't be there? Aw man ||I kinda hoped she would still be alive bc the codex said her body is a vessel||

[uneven dragon]

hugo said he lowk forgot about that

i wonder who the antagonist of the dlc will even be then

[uneven dragon]

it seems like it's gonna be the order of the six

No I'm not bodyshaming him

I have a beer belly too

[uneven dragon]

i just assume either slayer killed her so hard shes gone for good or the witch just doesn't plan on manifesting physically once more

[frail bloom]

Killed her hard lmao

Idk abt that first one but it's such a hugo answer ngl

Hugo would def say that

Can't wait to see her next game when they figure out what to do with her

[obsidian shard]

played at Minimum game speed and max slow mo

and i feel weird

[heady trout]

someone send me a tutorial about the falter system or whatever bc i keep either dying in nightmare or barely surviving encounters

i legitimately have no clue what it is besides two or three parries and the enemy becomes momentarily stunned

abyssal forest is whopping my ass

again my question arises of ''what am i missing''

i already use the shield charge more and it helps, i try to apply melee combos after faltering

i use my shield to block more

but when you pile enemies up together i just get lost on what a alleged pro player would do to not have their health become low

okay im starting to realize i dont have the time in my life these days to dedicate hours of hours of practice on a videogame anymore

much less one as hard as this one, i could practice Eternal bc i had time then

now I dont

fun game but im done, legitimately dont have the availablity to practice to get better at this, maybe in the future I will but i cant get much better at this rate, i have a life

[strong moth]

Several things can trigger Falters including a parry or a charged shield bash. I’m. Heavy falter you can do a full 3 hit melee

But I’d say if it’s giving you trouble and you feel like you don’t understand mechanics, hop in Ripatorium or reduce difficulty. Good luck!

[heady trout]

yeah no i think im done, just dont have the time or energy to practice and get angry at this game anymore, i certainly wish i did though, good game, had fun with it

still one of my top games of all time next to Eternal, but yeah

[hearty edge]

big build

[cerulean pagoda]

Took an entire day but I beat enhanced asscrack on max sliders

Time for reckoning

I want this torture to be over so bad

[tidal compass]

@heady trout just curious but have u tried equipping the first shield rune. Cuz that one can falter multiple enemies on a single parry so u can chain executions if ur quick enough

[topaz oasis]

I never knew I could have so much fun with an FPS until I played Doom the Peak Ages at 150% speed

[heady trout]

yeah

[tidal compass]

Ah well my condolences then. Maybe another time eh

[flat vigil]

Yeah lol

[brittle finch]

Genuine question

1080P max with max path tracing vs 1440P max

Looks wise with no performance involved or anything

Because I’ve used both and it’s so close that it’s hard to tell for me

[brittle finch]

Chapter 16 with pt is literally the most beautiful shit I’ve ever seen

Everything is glimmering

[uneven dragon]

the cosmic realm is so gorgeous

[dark thunder]

Novik lowkey an opp in eternal

Bro sayin oh you’ll bring down the heaven’s wrath always this mf sayin oh the slayer is too dangerous oh he can’t be trusted then this mf hype him up with a speech

[brittle finch]

Genuinely

[meager vortex]

Doom: The Dark Ages is confirmed to receive "Master Levels" as post-launch content, potentially in the form of a "Master Campaign" that covers all 22 levels of the game. However, this feature is not available in the initial release of the game.
Master Levels are high-difficulty remixes of existing campaign levels, featuring significantly harder enemy encounters and placements designed to challenge players who have completed the main game.
While waiting for the Master Levels to be added, players can engage with other challenging content within the base game:
Difficulty Settings: The game offers various difficulty levels, including Nightmare, for a challenging experience.
Weapon Mastery Challenges: These optional challenges, unlocked after fully upgrading a weapon, provide specific objectives during gameplay and reward players with golden weapon skins upon completion.
Mission Challenges: Each level also has its own set of specific mission challenges for additional replayability.

[brittle finch]

Best looking area by far ngl

[uneven dragon]

I really love it

[brittle finch]

Ngl I’ve spent like 4/5 hours out of my total 15 hours of playtime just messing with video settings 😭

But it was worth it because small optimizations are important to me when it’s gonna be how I’m looking at the game for the entire playthrough

Anyone ran a benchmark since the last update? It seems to be bugged because the Slayer is now in first person view and shooting nonstop.

listening to this right now 🔥

[uncut needle]

Happy Halloween slayers

[arctic flame]

I mean the in game benchmark, in the extras tab op the main menu? There's 6 or 8 levels to choose from and a demo mode. Have you tested it? Before the update it was a fly through of each level without the Slayer but now he's in first person mode shooting all the time.

[grim cloud]

no stream today right? are they done zo?

[solid nacelle]

No stream this week but maybe next week they'll have a preview stream for ripatorium 2.0

Depends on if it's ready I think

[brittle finch]

Haven’t tested it

[grim cloud]

i dont know anything about ripatorium 2.0. I also wonder about master level campaign tease

[brittle finch]

They use the same amount of memory anyways in case you wanna try a benchmarking app

[solid nacelle]

Hato asked about that during the belly of the beast stream and Josh said "I think you're onto something" but didn't say more than that

[grim cloud]

did he now

[solid nacelle]

A little vague but yeah

[brittle finch]

What do you have it on anyways? Cus low just shows FPS and ultra nightmare shows basically everything I think. Maybe a specific setting is broken?

[grim cloud]

i wonder if we get a dlc tease at the game awards.

[arctic flame]

https://youtu.be/h3cukQjb6FU

[brittle finch]

I didn’t know that was a thing lol

[arctic flame]

Have a look @brittle finch that was from my old build. No need to watch the entire video, in that video it's the benchmarks as it was before the update, after the update it's the same but with the Slayer in first person view flying through the levels and shooting non stop.

[brittle finch]

That’s weird

[arctic flame]

They added it with the 2nd or 3rd update after release

[arctic flame]

Yeah, I'll contact Bethesda regarding it

[warm ibex]

I think it's very important to clarify that Josh was seemingly specifically saying "I think you're onto something" in reference to the BotB encounter sharing a similar level of difficulty to the upcoming Master Levels

Since he followed up that initial "I think you're onto something" with "That's what Kruge was saying, and I think you're onto something" (in reference to Kruge saying the encounter was Master Level difficulty)

I mean I still think a master campaign is likely either way though so I guess it doesn't matter lol

[frail bloom]

Next week is the preview

I'm personally very excited

[mystic barn]

Also, if you have iTunes on your PC and Apple Music downloaded to your phone, you can upload my mixes to your personal library with the ALAC link provided, so you can take my mixes on the go

[frail bloom]

Er no I have spotify sadly, unless I'm able to download them and import them into my personal playlist? I'll just have to stick with youtube music if not

I really do wish I has those bc these are stellar mixes

Very comprehensive

[mystic barn]

You don’t need an Apple Music subscription to save the ALAC files to your personal library. I don’t think you can import FLACs to Spotify

[frail bloom]

Do you need a subscription for losseless quality?

[mystic barn]

Nope, not at all

[frail bloom]

Sweet! I'll see about getting it then

Cuz I need to hear them in a sound quality they deserve

Cuz they're that good

I'm planning on doing that after my max slider run, I call it the Doom 3 run

[frail bloom]

Well hopefully you're there by dlc you wouldn't wanna miss that

Those extra mobility options might come in handy

Or "option"

now i can finally breathe air

You're way farther then I am

I haven't started since lomarith

I'm fixin' to get far today

[frail bloom]

How hard was reckoning btw

[cerulean pagoda]

it was crazy

took me 4 hours to beat

[frail bloom]

Great...

Just awesome

I can't wait to fight more revenant leaders

[cerulean pagoda]

there should be a cacodemon themed trickortreating halloween basket

[cerulean pagoda]

a tip for you, you can one tap any leader with the BFC

doesnt matter which one they all die onehit to the BFC

[frail bloom]

Ye I have been using bfc

Mostly against encounters I know will take me too long to beat in one succession

[cerulean pagoda]

i use the bfc on komodo leaders

more often than other leaders

[brittle finch]

Abyssal Forest with Path Tracing on kills your frames cus it’s like 90% shadows 😭

Should I trade a bit of quality for performance? ‘Cause my frames honestly go low in The Dark Ages sometimes when I’m trying to glory kill someone and there’s several enemies shooting nearby.

[arctic pagoda]

The doomz 3

[frail bloom]

Belly of the beast...

Was awful

Moving on

[brittle finch]

I’m on that level rn

Shit

[brittle finch]

As long as you’re getting over 30 FPS I don’t think it matters that much

[green estuary]

30 fps is too low for me in an action game
I'd shoot for 60 fps averages

even at low settings the game still looks stunning
it just looks a bit more choppy when you get close to surfaces

[gusty seal]

the old one is just an overgrown interdimensional squidward

https://tenor.com/view/throwing-bad-cards-squidward-sad-gif-21565170

[flat vigil]

I get 60 FPS, it’s just that in certain moments (like when I’m surrounded by enemies very close to me, mainly big ones) and they’re attacking at around the same time, the frame rate starts to drop to around 30 FPS or a lil lower.

[green estuary]

yeah I'd take a look at the optimization video in the pins

you could probably stand to lower the settings in a few areas

[odd grove]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-gif-21922016

Flubbed my pandemonium run T^T burned up my life sigils while I was drunk and absolutely dropped the ball to a mancubus

[flat vigil]

The rest tho I always have 60 FPS or around that, it’s just when that specific thing happens.

[flat vigil]

Will do.

[flat vigil]

Tho the small issue is that it’s for PC players. I’m on a PS5.

So I got less settings.

[green estuary]

oh damn

[frail bloom]

Well I'm on a ps5 I don't get those framedrops

[spiral sapphire]

I got clapped💀

[frail bloom]

Maybe cool your system

Usually that works for me if it acts a bit choppy

[flat vigil]

Even when there’s several big enemies attacking you around the same time that are near you?

[frail bloom]

Yes

I play ripatorium regularly

[flat vigil]

Maybe it depends on the PS5, idk

[frail bloom]

Have you tried cooling it

[flat vigil]

Nah

[frail bloom]

Try cooling it for 20-30 min

Click on the fan icon

Like the highest and leave it
