the-dark-ages

[frail bloom]

Now thinking abt this attack, ain't the whole point to get in close

[heady mica]

kill him before he does it

[frail bloom]

Now he's gonna blow you away?

[frail bloom]

Uh he's invincible when he puts it up, and he puts it up really fast

He's like the cursed prowler

[harsh egret]

we dont know how it works yet, im cba to think about it before seeing it

[frail bloom]

Well I am

[harsh egret]

just be patient lol

[frail bloom]

What does that have to do with thinking abt it

I'm thinking abt how it would work

Is it even necessary to add

[heady mica]

memorize his spawn and throw your shield at him before he puts it up

[harsh egret]

just seems like ur worried lol

[heady mica]

then just stunlock and SSG into red mist combo

[harsh egret]

just wait and see how it works

[frail bloom]

Not worried just I don't see why they're adding it

The cyberdemon is already a great enemy and serves the loop pretty well

[frail bloom]

See that's annoying

He isn't some dynamic enemy he's a boring obstacle

That's not fun

[harsh egret]

maybe its a dlc thing only that makes sense with the new mobility options and so on i really dont know

[heady mica]

They took my ability to put grenades in his mouth

[harsh egret]

we shall see

[frail bloom]

We shall

And maybe rework the komodo a little

[harsh egret]

he just needs a little polishing

no need for a rework imo

[heady mica]

he should be more aggressive

[frail bloom]

Maybe a little less running in your face and maybe the fireballs are less in number

[heady mica]

i feel like he runs around too much and would really throw you for a loop if he just constantly chased you and didnt give you time to relax

[harsh egret]

he is tho, he doesnt need to do his parryable attacks non stop

[frail bloom]

That's the point, he purposefully runs away a little to fire his fireballs and make distance, then he bull dozes over you when you least expect it

The idea of his character is really good but the execution is lacking

Bc he's so buggy

[harsh egret]

^

[frosty roost]

yeah the komodo fight had me stressed the first time i was fighting him, it's so annoying

[frail bloom]

Imo they just need to tweak his fireballs

Have them do less damage to your shield

Like way less

They're already hard to dodge and he usually runs in your face after

[fleet spruce]

Eldritch meatball is not fucking around this time, complete opposite of Doom 3 caco

[frail bloom]

Oh ye that guy is a push over

Surprised on how small they were

[elder raven]

they need to do something about those damned fireballs

[frail bloom]

agreed

I can't wait to leonidas the komodo to death with my doom spear

[elder raven]

for a game with the tagline “stand and fight,” each time you try this in front of the komodo he just says “lmao fuck you” and barrages you with fireballs

[frail bloom]

I like the fact that he doesn't follow the rules, but I want him to be a bit more fair abt it

Sure you can strategically run away and fire your balls but like they shouldn't be doing much to your shield

Bc then after he breaks your shield he just bulldozes you over

Like is he sentient or smt

[elder raven]

imo it’d be better if the shield animation destroyed the turret instead of the graviton fist

[frail bloom]

Agreed

Also destroying the cannon on the cyberdemon does not get rid of the hitscan thing

Does it get rid of the flying skulls then?

[obsidian shard]

it slows it tf down

[frail bloom]

Slows what down?

What part of the cyberdemon

[obsidian shard]

The hitscan

[frail bloom]

How can you slow down hitscan

It's hitscan

[obsidian shard]

the gun, its fucking slow as shit after you disable the skull

[frail bloom]

Idk what you mean

So you can disable the skull attack?

[obsidian shard]

The cyberdemons hand turret when you damage it,

It weakens the hitscan attack significantly to like 2 dps and disables the skull attack

[frail bloom]

Ah ok

I'd love to see that more in the dlc

More enemies that change after a certain interval

Except instead of being weaker, maybe they become even more dangerous

Like uh say hypothetically they add the archvile

[obsidian shard]

or Komodo!!!

[ripe sky]

I ragebaited thank you for fulfilling my goal

[frail bloom]

Say they add an archvile, it can shoot fireballs and parryables, ressurect enemies and have a flamethrower attack when they decide you're invading their space

Then you break their armor in an animation(instead of throwing your shield), and now they can do their signature yellow hitscan attack, their melee is now parryable, and their more aggressive in general

DOOM series very cool

[frail bloom]

Indeed

[limber cedar]

bruh, I really need a graphic card thats worth around 277$ just to play this game?

[obsidian shard]

Welcome to the land of tomorrow!

[frail bloom]

The land of forever

No escaping it now

[frosty roost]

hello jay

[obsidian shard]

Howdy Fangs

[elder raven]

i want to see it have a palpatine robe so bad

[solar spoke]

with AI, the world of tomorrow (storage and RAM) is finally here (is unaffordable)

[elder raven]

https://tenor.com/view/cackles-star-wars-sheev-palpatine-gif-15366449

[frail bloom]

That would be awesome, but I would have it gone after he enters his second phase

[limber cedar]

wym?

[frail bloom]

To have it both dripped archvile and classic archvile

[elder raven]

works for me

[solar spoke]

AI companies are buying out RAM and SSD stock for their chatbots, it's kind of like how GPUs were being bought out by crypto farms during Covid. It's gotten really expensive

[limber cedar]

I mean, the fact that this game needs a setting thats in a graphic card this expensive is kinda bad like why even is this setting needed?

there should be at least a warning on steam page that this setting is required

[frail bloom]

They've been marketing it for months

Ppl knew since january that the game had raytracing

And they gave you specific specs

Do your research

[obsidian shard]

Raytracing makes development faster and cheaper! (because its faster)

[frail bloom]

The amount of people that just buy crap and don't do like the bare minimum of research

[solar spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-wilson-house-dr-house-hugh-laurie-gif-6533255213222905344

raytracing be like

[limber cedar]

I bought it cuz I though that it'll be like other games without a need for pricey parts

[frail bloom]

Well don't do that

It doesn't hurt to use google for a minute and look up what game you're buying

And what it needs

[limber cedar]

guess imma just return it

[frail bloom]

Yes

Good idea

[limber cedar]

cuz I aint buying a 277$ graphic card especially that its worth way more in my country

[frail bloom]

Exactly

[limber cedar]

or imma just wait till these cards will be cheaper or I'll get a better one and than rebuy it cuz dont get me wrong, I love doom series

[frail bloom]

Ye don't get us wrong, it's a fantastic doom game

But it doesn't hurt to wait till you're absolutely ready to play it

[meager vortex]

https://youtu.be/Zr1AM1nRLtU

[frail bloom]

You'd want the best experience

[meager vortex]

good bye it

[limber cedar]

but man, why is everythin getting more and more expensive

[slender night]

Graphics cards are still inflated cuz of crypto mining

[limber cedar]

doom for 83$, dl the beast for 64$, man

every new game is getting more expensive

[frail bloom]

Best to wait I'd say

[slender night]

Licensing fees are a bitch

30% cut is insane loss for a big corporation, so prices are rising

[frosty roost]

[brittle finch]

Speaking of sharpness, why is sharpening on by default? 😭

[obsidian shard]

i like to have like a lil bit of sharpness

just a lil bit

[warm ibex]

I just realized that people have been complaining about buying the TDA deluxe edition and having nothing to show for it even though it comes with a full digital art book, sound track and exclusive cosmetic set

[obsidian shard]

and futur dlc

[harsh egret]

yeah i dont get that

[ionic glade]

People don’t read shit these days or listen

[harsh egret]

also sup sneaky, peak meme earlier

[obsidian shard]

howdy, and thank you goat

[warm ibex]

I don't know why it took this long for that to click. the people complaining about paying an extra $30 for absolutely nothing are out of their fucking mind

[harsh egret]

i guess people just really want a release date

also with how big the dlc seems to be, im surprised the upgrade is so cheap

[ionic glade]

I figured when they said future dlc it was gonna be a while before we got it. Plus we are getting master levels and probably a few more surprises post DLC (nothing crazy though)

[green estuary]

dude I got it when it was on sale for 17 dollars
really happy with it

DLC + art + soundtrack for that much is a steal

[harsh egret]

for me the price difference between the base game and premium edition is 10 bucks

depends on country obv

the upgrade is still 30 bucks tho

[ionic glade]

The digital art book is awesome. Some of those alternate enemy designs and Ahzrak’s concept art is sick af. Plus the bonus divinity and void skins are awesome as well.

[obsidian shard]

real

[frail bloom]

If I had to play devil's advocate

Not saying I agree with those ppl

You can easily look up the artbook on youtube for yourself or in google in general, and the ost is free to listen to on spotify, youtube music, apple whatever

[obsidian shard]

true

[frail bloom]

The only things you can't get without paying are the skins and dlc

The dlc which is like pretty long and def worth the wait

[harsh egret]

its kinda like a supporter pack lol, apart from the fact that u actually get a dlc which is shaping up to be very worth it for the price

[frail bloom]

That's def worth the wait

I'd say it's like 10 bucks for the supporter stuff

And 20 bucks for the dlc, which is a steal

Like c'mon

[ionic glade]

I mean if the dlc is beefy as its rumored to be, it could range anywhere from $20-40 when it drops without having bought the premium edition upgrade

[frail bloom]

Ye saving up on at least 10-20 bucks

Pretty good

[solar cairn]

After the impaler’s nerf, now I almost always use the second mode, it allows you to keep your distance and you can do a lot of damage to a bunch of enemies if you throw a shield at a charged demon

Very nice

Maybe in dlc they will give some other cannon so that you can use it in close combat after the ssg

[merry sapphire]

what does it mean that id software employees have unionized

[merry sapphire]

the artbook is sick but it isnt the full art book is it?

cause i keep seeing concept art thats not present in the artbook

[merry sapphire]

divinity cosmetic set is cool but i cant help but be bummed that its just a recolor

goes for all the skins actually

it makes sense i guess since the game is singleplayer only so it wouldnt make sense to invest all that much into cosmetics like how doom eternal

[frail bloom]

Well they say it's for a good reason so I'll let them prove it

Plus you gotta outsource skins and I don't think they're gonna go through all these hoops

[merry sapphire]

doom eternal skins were outsourced?

[frail bloom]

Yes I believe

[frail bloom]

@obsidian shard were they?

Always gotta double check

[merry sapphire]

it makes sense i guess since none of the skins except the default one were ray trace supported

[spark elm]

Which level has the last armor essence?

I can’t remember

[obsidian shard]

Most were, The DLC and Launch skins were in house

[frail bloom]

Alr well that makes like 90% outsourced

[spark elm]

And how much armor should I have with belly of the beast?

Because on my 2nd save, my armor is stuck at 80 max. What the heck???

[obsidian shard]

You still have more to collect in the later levels

Also some are secret

[harsh egret]

Neither art books have to have every piece of concept art

[spark elm]

I’ve 100%’d each level so far, which is weird

What’s the usual max armor amount when going to harbor of souls?

[obsidian shard]

I believe so yeah

[spark elm]

wait wrong reply there

[obsidian shard]

80-90 I thinking

[spark elm]

and 150 is the max…

[merry sapphire]

why not man the concept arts are cool

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[spark elm]

my game might be messing up

[obsidian shard]

There is a big showing 100% when you don't have it

[spark elm]

I’ve seen it multiple times say 70-80

[merry sapphire]

did you 100%

[spark elm]

yep I 100%’d each level so far up to 19

[frail bloom]

The digital one is already 17 gigs, more would inflate it. Putting all the other art in one physical book would make it massive

[spark elm]

yeah for some reason I was getting visual bugs of stuff I got but didn’t receive yet

[merry sapphire]

well yeah of course it would inflate it thats the point its not a game lmao

also honestly 17 gigs aint that much compared to games in general

[frail bloom]

I don't want 35 gigs worth of art work when I can look it up online

[frail bloom]

Ye atleast they're games

[harsh egret]

Its like saying why does an animal encyclopedia not have every animal in it

[frail bloom]

That you can play

[merry sapphire]

well i want it 💔

[frail bloom]

Not an art gallery

[frail bloom]

I getchu I love the art too

[spark elm]

think I almost have all the armor bars think 1 is left and I’m still at 80

[frail bloom]

I guess just try to compile all the art yourself?

[harsh egret]

Also i dont think any artbook just has EVERY concept for everything, its pretty normal

[merry sapphire]

fair i guess. i was just hoping with the digital edition it would make viewing ALL concept art streamlined and alot easier

[spark elm]

I should have 140… this is so strange

[merry sapphire]

they could just do like artbook dlcs for saving space

[merry sapphire]

check on every level and make sure you got all the armor stuff. not the percentage but the collections

[harsh egret]

And plenty of art that was posted on places such as artstation by the artists also have descriptions and context to them which would never be featured in an artbook because it would add up to too much

[spark elm]

alright

[merry sapphire]

you good at the end there hato LMAO

[harsh egret]

Xd

[merry sapphire]

yeah like how emerson posts concept art sometimes on his twitter that wasnt in an artbook for doom games

[fleet spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[frail bloom]

Me want

has anyone else ever gotten visual bugs of stuff you didn’t get but it says got them?

Am I gonna have to delete this save…

[stoic thorn]

Hello, anyone having issues with the game crashing when it’s running on a second monitor/ tv?

The game works fine when playing on my laptop but crashes and quits to windows when I play on my tv.

Submitted a ticket but got a very generic response about using an AMD processor despite providing the msinfo file which should include all my hardware specs (5080 laptop with I9)

[spark elm]

So I don’t know what to do then, I have 1 armor bar left

on the 2nd save

[obsidian shard]

Did you beat the second save?

[warm ibex]

of course it's not the full art book. the physical art book isn't the full art book either

no game art book is the "full" art book, there will always be hundreds of pieces that don't make it into official art books. potentially thousands depending on the game

[spark elm]

Nope it’s up to harbor

[obsidian shard]

Lower your settings a bit, since it is also now rendering a second display

4k takes up more RAM and stuff

[merry sapphire]

sucks :( i loved the concept art pieces we saw for this game and was hoping it would be full entirely

also Holy Shit Horde Mode Gaming

[warm ibex]

have you seen the early preproduction explorations from 2018?

[frail bloom]

They thought of this game that far huh

That's like 7-8 years ago

[warm ibex]

They started very early work on Eternal in 2015

maybe even before then, but as far as I'm aware Colin Geller's recently shared future hell environment is the earliest dated piece

[frail bloom]

Makes me wonder what they're possibly thinking abt including for a new game

Bc they keep escalating

Mech battles and dragon stuff weren't possible to have implemented decently in eternal

Even if they ain't the best at all

[warm ibex]

I think it's interesting to think about the fact that they probably started very early exploration concepts for the next game a few years ago

[frail bloom]

They def are

They've already hired some new employees

For a "new project"

Like months back

They just like planning ahead and we don't think abt it enough

And another thing to consider is that the dlc they usually make hint at the next game

On mechanics they might introduce or story beats/world building

Lovecraft monster in uac atlantica hinted at the cosmic realm

[warm ibex]

I very much hope that their next project (if it's more medieval doom) draws heavy inspiration from Alex Palma and Colin Geller's early TDA tonal explorations. These three in particularhttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1449609111598792714/colin-geller-colingeller-dtda-bluesky-sentinel-fleet.png?ex=693f8530&is=693e33b0&hm=c5b8d9574d3bba586bbf198e8f0a765f769a066be3fc85874874c26a76410c2b https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1449609076077101167/colin-geller-colingeller-dtda-bluesky-sentinel-ship-factory.png?ex=693f8528&is=693e33a8&hm=508bc262341be558fbd4ea36e3d3f52cb7f8cf0a10cae02a024b434d789ab8a4 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1449609051502809208/colin-geller-colingeller-dtda-bluesky-planet-hell.png?ex=693f8522&is=693e33a2&hm=0c9156d07d9b1f7b6b70277ea20ec720989328237e9a67c2b7bcb90f447a2f12

[frail bloom]

I love how much more white everything is in this argent d'nur concept art, like it hasn't withered away

[harsh egret]

the first one there i set as my wallpaper when they put these out

these r so freaking good man

[frail bloom]

And the last one is just star wars

Can't hide your influences hugo

[warm ibex]

I believe it was entirely up to the artist

[frail bloom]

Third one is prob my fav

[frail bloom]

Nah nah ik it's just that hugo really loves star wars too

Like isn't that just a giant death star in the backround lol

[warm ibex]

it's an incredible art direction. imo TDA is probably the best we've had so far in terms of general art direction but I think this might be able to top it. Plus I like the idea of them alternating between darker and lighter tones for each game

2016 was dark, Eternal was lighter, TDA went back to dark, makes sense that the next game would be brighter again

[frail bloom]

But just to make sure, brighter does not mean arcadey

Some ppl confuse them

[warm ibex]

definitely not, no. and I got that mixed up when talking about it here the other day

arcadey in the sense that the environments are brighter/more colorful and it doesn't take itself as seriously, not arcadey in a way that brings back bright green glowing pickups

which I didn't mind tbf, but don't want again

[harsh egret]

plus the ui and many sound effects were very arcadey

i love eternal for what it is and the arcadey feel to it but yeah i agree, i dont really want that, at least not for a while

[warm ibex]

I'll have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Eternal's UI. It does a great job at relaying info to the player but I don't care for the general style. The 2018 QC UI is more in line with what I like

[harsh egret]

(as in i love it in eternal)

[harsh egret]

the ui they had at some early showcase events was better imo

bruh i wrote that before even reading ur 2nd sentence there

yeah i agree

[warm ibex]

I think it's equally as clunky

oh I thought you meant the E3 2019 hud

lol

[harsh egret]

yeah i didnt remember exactly which one was which

[frail bloom]

All I remember is armor shards dropping out of enemies like kernels

[harsh egret]

if its the qc 2018 one then yeah its probably that

[warm ibex]

QC 2018 was nice, E3 2019 and launch UI are a little clunky

that's my stance

[harsh egret]

the qc 2018 one still feels fitting for the slayer being "a race car" in eternal while not being arcadey and i like that more yeah

also i love how in the demo the precision bolt was using 1 ammo

[harsh egret]

i would rank them as
1 - qc 2018
2 - e3 2019
3 - launch

[fleet spruce]

2018 looks like it was just upgraded 2016 UI

[warm ibex]

That's essentially what it was, yeah

[warm ibex]

I will say though, if a TDA sequel goes in a brighter direction then I wouldn't mind having a HUD that's more in line with Eternal's E3 2019 and launch HUDs. At least in terms of colors, I think they could improve the visuals

[frail bloom]

I'll miss the slayer face

[fleet spruce]

just bring back the classic bar

[frail bloom]

But godamn is it brilliant

[warm ibex]

I want the slayer status face to become a staple going forward. Much like them reintroducing the sleveless armor, I think it's one of those things that's too iconic and kickass to leave out now that it's back

[harsh egret]

this makes me wanna go and try to make a mock up for a UI cuz i did a lil graphic design a couple years ago for college and its pretty fun

[warm ibex]

go for it man! I'd love to see what you have in mind

[fleet spruce]

I love tda ui cause it is a nice fusion of old and new design features, also looks pretty sleek

[harsh egret]

i got a few other stuff in the works as well, not ui related but just fanart in general, hopefully that sees the light of day lmao

3d related

[frail bloom]

I must see

I posted my fair share it's your turn now

Bc I said so

[harsh egret]

nah its just mostly what i told u about samir but now i just kinda got the motivation again

that was like months ago

[frail bloom]

Ye when you finishing that accelerator model

I've been more excited for it then dlc

[harsh egret]

i was doing too much but i got some ideas

[harsh egret]

oke bruv chillax

[frail bloom]

Nah nah trust

[harsh egret]

no but ill try to have something done atleast by next weekend

[frail bloom]

Take your time

[harsh egret]

and then the rest when im back home after new years

[warm ibex]

actually I wouldn't mind making my own hypothetical TDA sequel HUD as well

when I get the time

working on logos for my ripatorium presets atm

[harsh egret]

yeah i liked the last one u did

[warm ibex]

I'll have four this time

[harsh egret]

dayum

[warm ibex]

three presets under one collection name

[frail bloom]

When they releasing

Dark ages collecting dust

(Not really)

[harsh egret]

when dlc comes out (never)

[frail bloom]

True dat

[warm ibex]

should be before christmas

[harsh egret]

nice

[frail bloom]

Awesome

[hard thistle]

Game is fire, just got back into it

[spark elm]

What type of metal (genres) would be we say Theomachy is by how it sounds?

[obsidian shard]

Swedish Blackmetal

possibly modern deathcore

[merry sapphire]

the one were serrat had no wings?

[spark elm]

Oh that’s cool.

Now I wonder about Infernal Chasm.

[fervent maple]

I really miss the curvature and parallax effect on the HUD that 2016 and QC 2018 had; the way they shook when the screen shook was awesome. I noticed some TDA HUDs had this as well. It really sells the whole futuristic helmet fantasy to me.

[obsidian shard]

something peak

[spark elm]

With its heavy sound I wonder what genre it could really be

that song is song of the year

[mystic barn]

Classic thrash

[spark elm]

I think that’s possible!

And one more… Steel Beyond the Grave. Another awesome one.

[gusty seal]

i finally fixed my colors, the art work for this game really is nice, upped the saturation and its nice

[obsidian shard]

Leemme seeeee

[crisp frigate]

I really like TDA because it feels like it blends elements of Doom 2016 and Eternal for a much more enriched immersion

[spark elm]

Also some classic elements it looks like. Can’t complain, it is fire.

[obsidian shard]

REAL

[obsidian shard]

"Elements of thrash metal, modern deathcore, early doom metal and Swedish black metal bleed into brutal guitar breakdowns and downtempo grooves, while traditional folk instruments such as the Nordic bass tagelharpa, balalaika, and massive animal hide drums are combined with modern synths and a choir for a dark and gritty sound. The soundtrack is rife with allusions to the previous games of the Doom series"

people hate the flail but im using it again and its so fun, switching between fists and flail is great

ohhhh videos go in the videos tab

opps

sorry

diddnt see it till now lol

i have a cool short clip of some flail and fauntlets on max sliders 40 seconds. has a cyber demon and hell knights in a tight space, and i dont have all my weapons or upgrades yet

[mystic barn]

My only complaint is that there's no clear picture on which guys composed which songs

[gusty seal]

@obsidian shard #videos message

[obsidian shard]

True, but it was def a group effort

[fleet spruce]

Flail is cool but after Dreadmace everything else feels kinda redundant to me

[weary fossil]

allo :D

[hazy pasture]

Greetings

[random sand]

The dreadmace makes it too easy i'd say. I avoid using it since it's so broken

[brittle finch]

What do y’all think would look better? 1440P native or 1600P upscaled from 1067P?

Cus 1 is a higher resolution and the other is a slightly lower resolution but without upscaling

[flat elm]

Cursed asf

Absolute band

[merry sapphire]

spacy hell looks so cool. maybe the can dive into fantasy esque hell environment next game

[stoic thorn]

Thanks, turned frame gen off and it seems to be working, only one crash so far lol

How is a 5080 and i9 crashing, surely the game isn’t optimised that well. I know it’s a laptop version but still, I was well below the 16gb and it always happened during non intensive gpu processing moments (not like I’m in a middle of a battle either many enemies) .

Anyway, thanks dude!

[sweet locust]

Chat I forgot

The upcoming DLC won't show how the Slayer got put in the coffin, right?

[modern jewel]

Anyone wanna play and vc ik new to doom

[hazy pasture]

Nope that's a llllllloooooonnnnnnggggggg way to go

[fleet spruce]

We're not even halfway there

[merry sapphire]

would be cool but honestly im much more interested in what they could come up with the slayers past. like the whole cosmic stuff was cool as hell and was never mentioned

hope they build up some way for the story to go forward after eternal though

[fleet spruce]

cosmic realm was hinted at this entire time in Eternal and its DLCs

[fleet spruce]

I'm certain that they have lots of ways to go about that , we still have a set of unfulfilled prophecies from Doom 2016 and the reveal of cosmic realm only confirms that it was silently watching from beyond while events of Eternal unfolded.

[tough blaze]

am I going to draw some sad doom doodles soon? yes
is it going to be doomie and his family? also yes
will it make poeple shit tears? yes, wel, maybe

Probably 1600p tbh
Because dlss quality in this game especially is essentially indistinguishable from native res

[sweet locust]

Alright

Just asking coz I forgot

[grave pike]

Hello can anyone help me with an info?

Im on ps5 and i need a lil bit of help

[slender night]

What's up

[crude sparrow]

Where exactly? I don't remember any of that sorry

[grave pike]

So my question is that i played the dark ages when it came out but there was maybe 3 thropies that i couldnt earn and some dudes from this server.

Is that possible now or still not?

(I guess that was the berserker, toy collector but idk if there was anything else)

Guys help! I want to earn the platinum

[slender night]

I'm not a PS player so my experience isn't guaranteed to be identical to yours, but I on Xbox had no issues unlocking every achievement

[wintry forge]

All of the World Spear, Samur’s transfiguration, the cosmic entity at the end of UAC Atlantica

It was stated that The World Spear was a ship, and it had an all-new Cyclopean design that was alluding to there being something outside of Hell and Urdak

[elder raven]

i assume the cosmic entity your referring to are the tentacles at the bottom of the ocean?

[wintry forge]

Precisely

[elder raven]

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-doom-eternal-skull-video-game-gif-17907136

so are the tentacles in the background also a part of the cosmic realm?

and the tentacles in super gore nest

mainly just giant tentacles in general that arent the ones we fight

[wintry forge]

I’m honestly not sure. The Hellgrowth tentacles could be their own, or they could be a result of the old alliance between the realms. I think there is some connection there

Could he a Hugo question, or it could just be one of those ambiguous things for the player to decide

I prefer the latter tbh

[elder raven]

i personally think they are then, because they are very similar

[wintry forge]

It’s likely. That’s one of the realm’s defining features

[fleet spruce]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/1k83rip/the_cosmic_realm_always_existed_ride_the_green/

good summary

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/663786269825826836/1445822933099479143/DOOMEternal_12_03_2025_21_00_12.png?ex=693f96c9&is=693e4549&hm=116f4f94fef0ee5cc7e19db7933cadf8f6d9a0816d8c705a403c65cf884a5f9f&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=914&height=514

also this particular moment in TAG 1

[fervent maple]

I'm of the opinion that the Cosmic Realm was subsumed by Hell sometime before 2016. The tentacles and other such imagery we see in Eternal is perhaps the result of Hell having fully taken over and adding their power to their ranks.

IMO, it's a cool subversion of the usual Lovecraftian style of horror; Hell in Doom is so powerful that even the outer gods have fallen to it.

[fleet spruce]

i don't think it was fully consumed , probably partially

god knows how huge is that place

otherwse i doubt there would be visible green clouds & lightning

since you can see those near cosmic realm portals in From Beyond

which is an indicator of its presence

[wintry forge]

With the death of the Old One, the cosmic realm is partly enslaved by Hell for all of Eternity. So, maybe not the realm as a whole, but perhaps Hell has can use to the cosmic realm’s power at their disposal

[crude sparrow]

oh okay thats cool, I've just never made that connection myself. The wraith stuff always used eyes as a symbol and there are plenty of those same eye symbols in the cosmic realm which I noticed back when it was revealed but then kinda forgot about it I guess

[fervent maple]

Maybe, but how much time has passed since TDA by the time of Eternal? I think it's plausible at the very least.

[wintry forge]

Up to millions of years

[crude sparrow]

I dont think we know exactly but quite a lot

I'm pretty sure the codexes said something like eons but that feels like too much to me

after all the betrayer is still alive so

[wintry forge]

In Earth’s time, roughly 60 million or so. But it’s obscure because we don’t know if that refers to time in general. Time could very well be different across dimensions

[crude sparrow]

and I doubt he's like millions of years old

[obsidian shard]

Im Hoping in the DLC we see a Dying Cosmic realm where its even more messed up then it is!

[wintry forge]

The Holt vibes

[crude sparrow]

I was about to say that xD

also the witch is definitely dead right

[wintry forge]

Eternal claims that the Doom Hunters were frozen for 60 million or so years after the “Unholy Crusades.” It’s not an exact time, but it’s a good reference. Again, time could move very different in Hell. So was the slayer really trapped for 60 million years 🤔

[wintry forge]

She’s definitely dead. Although her spirit lives, her character won’t be in the dlc. According to Hugo, she’s gone, at least for now

[crude sparrow]

doesnt eternal take place in like 21XX something?
People keep saying that this earth is likely not the same as the one in the classic games but I just don't understand why it wouldn't be

we know it's the same doomguy

[wintry forge]

It’s not the same Earth, there is no reference to there being a previous invasion from Hell

Plus the UAC’s discovery of the argent fracture and its overall timeline don’t line up with the original games

[crude sparrow]

I remember hugo said that it is the same earth in the last stream but the chat here quickly went on to say we shouldn't take that literally since he could've just said that in the heat of the moment without really thinking about it. Maybe they'll come back to that one day

possibly in the story connecting doom 2016 and eternal?

[wintry forge]

When did he say that? In the Eternal streams, he claimed that it was an entirely separate Earth

I’d love to see them come back to it at some point without complicating the lore

[crude sparrow]

the anniversary stream, someone in chat asked him about it and he said he doesn't believe theres a reason why it would be a different earth, but like I said, he answered that during combat so could've just said it without really thinking about it

[flat elm]

On the recent stream

[crude sparrow]

also we dont know what happened to the old earth then

[wintry forge]

Hm, I must have missed that. That’s interesting because he’s on record to say it’s a different Earth 🤔

I hope we learn more about that soon!

[crude sparrow]

wasnt there supposed to be a comic showing what happened between 2016 and eternal?

[slender night]

I've heard from a lot of people that Hugo just kinda says shit so I personally only take his statements with a grain of salt

[crude sparrow]

it got scrapped I believe

[wintry forge]

It was destroyed mostly from the initial invasion. Billions died, but many humans evacuated before the Marine destroyed the Icon. So it’s not like that Earth doesn’t exist anymore

Yeah. Hugo is also on record of saying that Doom 3 is canon, then a couple weeks later stated “perhaps I misspoke on that” and went on to say Doom 3 is a separate continuity

[solar spoke]

He said it on Wednesday when he was really focused on gameplay. I don't think he was listening to the question tbf

[flat elm]

Sometimes guys we need to be not too serious about what Hugo says about lore

[wintry forge]

I completely agree with that

[slender night]

Meh at the same time I feel like the second party could learn something too. No shade to Hugo but entertaining lore questions during streams where you're mostly focused on something else is not the best idea

[wintry forge]

I mean I’m personally not a fan of him giving away so much. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy getting an answer to things sometimes, but getting answers kinda easily from the game’s director (completely outside of the codexes and games themselves) feels kinda underwhelming.

These are things that should be left for speculation. The dlc teases are nice, especially when they’re left so ambiguous like they have been. But back in the Eternal streams, I feel like Hugo definitely revealed too much

[flat elm]

We need official Nu Doom lore bible

[slender night]

Official lore encyclopedias never end up good from what I know

[obsidian shard]

REAL

[flat elm]

Well, at least something like the Bionicle lore dev bible, for the first few years of run, that Christian Faber published about half a year ago

[warm ibex]

Another really cool feature is that the QC 2018 HUD also spread further apart whenever you activated the CSG's full auto mod, which made it feel like you were fully focusing on your target https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1449823002815496322/image.png?ex=69404c64&is=693efae4&hm=c1b32ec22bbd22e26b124cdc3f80c0729ddee784dd52a68101d27b534c7f8f50

[warm ibex]

honestly I don't think we'll learn more, I'd imagine he misspoke while trying to talk and play a ripatorium challenge encounter at the same time

[wintry forge]

I’m hoping he misspoke, similar to how he once misspoke about Doom 3’s continuity only to later retract his statement. If what he said was true, I hope he can elaborate on it somehow in the future (in-game). But for the sake of continuity, it’s likely just a mistake

[meager vortex]

coffin for doom slayer

[harsh egret]

yeah i really enjoyed that, kinda bummed that wasnt in the final game

[meager vortex]

we need doom codex bible

[obsidian shard]

Fortnite

[hazy pasture]

Yeah

[frosty roost]

I know my mum's getting me doom merch and some other things lmao

[indigo sable]

Guys

Is tda better than eternal?

[meager vortex]

yep

if you like shield saw

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-the-dark-ages-saw-shield-shield-saw-gif-11037175948798710016

[fervent maple]

Yes! I love that it disappears while performing Glory Kills as well. Ideally, I'd want stuff like this to be optional in menus. Halo Infinite has settings for stuff like chromatic aberration, hud shaking, and curvature. The Metroid Prime games similarly allow you to turn off the helmet overlay and the HUD moving.

What are you thinking of for a hypothetical HUD? More game-y (like Classic Doom, like Eternal, etc.), or more immersive (like Halo and Metroid Prime, like 2016)? Any particular themes come to mind?

[obsidian shard]

Not better but different

[indigo sable]

Eh fair

[obsidian shard]

Which is what i love about TDA

Some say its worse, some say its better, its all down to prefrence!

[harsh egret]

^

and if u dont go in expecting eternal 2.0 then u will enjoy it even more

[indigo sable]

Tbh I like eternal because it was more of a revival than 2016 imo

[warm ibex]

I was thinking somewhere between QC2018 Eternal and Metroid Prime 4

[indigo sable]

But idk

Its a peak game nonetheless

[slender night]

Could you elaborate? I'm curious as to what you mean by this

[obsidian shard]

Thats the fun of it eh! You will have one preferred but in the end all of them are just phenomenal!

[indigo sable]

Like dont get me wrong 2016 was pretty good but not as fun but I found it on a random day not knowing what it was

[obsidian shard]

It like cake, you have Strawberry, Ice Cream, and Vanilla! Some change things up quite a bit, but all are good!! Its just about which one you like more!

[indigo sable]

So mostly I didnt know what i was getting into and I was super young

But the entire franchise not excluding the mobile one is absolute fucking peak

[harsh egret]

"not including the mobile one"

thats the most peak of them all

[indigo sable]

*including

That one and the other one

[obsidian shard]

RPG? ot the Classic Ports?

[indigo sable]

Tbh I didnt like that one because it felt like a cashgrab

[indigo sable]

Im talking about rpg

[elder raven]

it was a cashgrab but was so much fun

[obsidian shard]

real

[indigo sable]

I need to get dark ages

Also can we all agree that achievements locked behind a paywall Playstation premium or Xbox live is bs

[harsh egret]

steam winter sale should start on the 18th so it might go on discount then

[indigo sable]

My pc dont got wifi bruh opposite side of the house from the router

[obsidian shard]

Yes, I got all of em for Eternal! FUCK did i get good at battlemode lmao! 2016 is the one i will not be able to 100% due the Sweats!!!

[indigo sable]

It just sucks man

Like why would you do that

[obsidian shard]

Cause multiplayer peeps need smth

Also why I like TDA more is due to lack of Multiplayer

[fervent maple]

Hell yeah, I'd love to see it (if/when it exists lol)

[indigo sable]

Fair enough

[flat elm]

To win the game, you need to kill me Hugo Martin!

[tough blaze]

omg what is that

Id love to see some ripatorium achievements

[obsidian shard]

hell yes

[harsh egret]

i hope the dlc adds some new achievements that also are smth harder to achieve

smth oddly specific thats not easy to do idk

[frail bloom]

I also hope they have some combat challenges for upgrading your weapons

I think 2016 and eternal already did that

Dark ages has combat challenges but they give you skins

Not a huge fan

[hazy pasture]

Greetings

[fleet spruce]

I kinda understand that they done that due to changes in upgrade system, i think dlc could turn that around

[harsh egret]

id be down for achievements that grant skins

need more weapon skins

[warm ibex]

"Survive ten minutes in a TDA comment section without seeing a complaint about glory kills, the soundtrack or mick gordon in general"

[harsh egret]

"0% of players have this achievement"

[warm ibex]

first achievement to have a negative completion rate

[harsh egret]

exactly

[hazy pasture]

Yeah that's a mythical achievement

Quite an unreal one

[frail bloom]

Sure why not

Unrelated but yesterday I saw a disabled person talk abt doom the dark ages winning accessability

And sadly it was too hard on him in a lot of areas so he felt it wasn't accessible for him

Which is pretty sad

[warm ibex]

I think it's a little wacky that the game that won the accessibility award doesn't even have a screen reader

and that's not me saying that TDA shouldn't have won the award, I'm just saying that TDA needs a screen reader. It really should've launched with one since all of the recent id Software rereleases and remasters have them

[frail bloom]

Sorry if it's a dumb question but wdym by screen reader

[warm ibex]

it's a tts bot that reads off things like menu options, primarily used by people that have difficulties reading

[frail bloom]

Ah

Ye I agree

[warm ibex]

have you ever opened one of the Nightdive remasters and heard a robot reading off menu options?

[frail bloom]

Not that I remember

[warm ibex]

Doom + Doom II had it on by default, if I'm not mistaken

[frail bloom]

Prob but I can't remember that far back

[warm ibex]

fair enough lol

anyways, it's something that they need to add for sure

[slender night]

Nightdive are crazy customizability freaks but can't get the original OSTs to play above 10% intended volume

[warm ibex]

they're forcing you to appreciate the sound design

you either fall so deeply in love with the sound design that you don't even want the music turned on, or you suffer

[slender night]

Or just force me to play with IDKFA/Tome of Power

[warm ibex]

that too lol

[slender night]

I can hardly remember what the original tracks sound like

[frail bloom]

What

Impossible

Imps song

What do you hear

[slender night]

I do know that one by heart

I hear the original version

But Winnowing Hall I can only really remember the remixed one

And not by choice!!! I'd play with the original tracks if they were actually audible!!!

[frail bloom]

Waiting for romero to play

[obsidian shard]

Ragebait that will work on me 100% of the time

[frail bloom]

How abt that one

[slender night]

I don't remember which one that is

[frail bloom]

[slender night]

Look, tomorrow if I have time I'll replay DOOM 1 on the Unity port to bask in the original music again 😌

[frail bloom]

It's in doom 2

It sounds like someone is plucking a violin

You remember?

[slender night]

I'll have to go look it up

Oh the ominous yet relaxing one, yeah

[frail bloom]

Yup

Classic doom got my fav ost of the entire franchise

Bc the amt of diversity is insane

[slender night]

Bobby Prince was a great thie...I mean composer

[frail bloom]

Well

50/50

[thin hound]

Hulshult’s soundtrack is my favorite thing about the old games

[slender night]

That's sad

[frail bloom]

He sto- I mean "artistically transposed" some songs and others were original

[warm ibex]

I love Hulshult's work but I never play with IDKFA on

nothing hits harder than the classic tracks

[thin hound]

I put IDKFA on in the car for long drives

[slender night]

I can at least play Unity if I want audible original music, but for Heretic and Hexen that's not an option

It's such a shame too cuz D+D2 is the definitive version but the music... man...

IDKFA isn't bad, as a novelty it's awesome to have, but I like authenticity

[fleet spruce]

I think those new tracks should have been like original release of IDKFA

they fit the game like gloves

[mystic barn]

That said, Andrew’s take on Bye Bye American Pie is goated

[vapid ridge]

yall play clash royale

[warm ibex]

American Pie and Countdown to Death are my two favorites from IDKFA

absolute peak imo

[mystic barn]

The Bleed herta in Running from Evil is pretty awesome too

[frail bloom]

Message from the archvile and the dave d taylor blues are favorites of mine from IDKFA

[wintry forge]

Message from the Archvile is the most underrated Doom II track

[violet zealot]

𝚆𝚊𝚜 𝚞𝚙!!!!!!!!!

[hearty edge]

chat so what's the easiest preset of the forum

[hearty edge]

oooh it's that one

pretty great

love the guitar at the end

[gusty seal]

on chapter 8 already of my max slider nightmare run 🤘

[hearty edge]

countdown to death and sign of evil for me

[obsidian shard]

Mancubus Mayhem (Trust)

[gusty seal]

Plutoniums Wrath

[hearty edge]

to be honest the 1st time i tried it i went with no strategy and almost won

just ssg and pray to novik

[obsidian shard]

Well that was my whole set-up (since they are mancubi)

[hearty edge]

honestly i always just do that

only in the ripartorium tbh other than that i do think a lil bit more

[merry sapphire]

to be fair there is no good reason that they removed glory kills, a staple of modern doom

all it did was just save them money on animating glory kills

[obsidian shard]

I disagree actually, combat is a lot smoother without them

[merry sapphire]

dude you are supposed to be ragebaited come on now

[obsidian shard]

And basically every time I do GK, I get swarmed and die

[green estuary]

There isn’t just a good reason , there’s a great reason

[merry sapphire]

yeah i agree i just wanted to test the 100% ragebait claim

Well, the game is felt faster, it’s a fact

[unkempt dragon]

quit gif spamming

[grizzled thicket]

Gif spamming?

Since when was there gifa here

[unkempt dragon]

emoji spamming*

whatever

[grizzled thicket]

Yeah sorry I had to

[random sand]

considering i get like 20-30 fps with path tracing with a 2060, don't think so

it's funny. doom the dark ages is my 2nd favorite game of all time but i can't play it above low settings

[harsh egret]

How much r u getting on low with that card? And what res and what do u have dlss set to?

[random sand]

how much fps? like 90-100 (my monitor can do 240) idr res but dlss is set to ultra performance

[harsh egret]

Pretty good for a base 2060

If its 1080p

[random sand]

i believe it's that yes

[random sand]

true. everything but my graphics card is pretty solid tho which probably does alot of heavy lifting

[flat elm]

IDK if unionization thing is good sign, especially Twitter guys now worried

[hazy pasture]

What's up?

[flat elm]

There's just a widespread belief that this is the end of the studio. After all, supposedly "TDA flopped."

[hazy pasture]

Oh average twitter reaction

[pine terrace]

Unionization is good. Makes it significantly harder for parent companies to throw their weight around

[frosty roost]

agreed!

[hard thistle]

There's no evidence to suggest TDA flopped.

Twitter is nothing more than a breeding ground for self-important techbros, incels, and Nazis. I wouldn't really trust public opinion on that site.

Unionization is objectively a good thing.

[grizzled thicket]

I mean it’s a breeding ground for all wierdos

[wide siren]

yeah no wonder twitter bros find unionization worrying lmao

Bloodstainer: An organic demonic weapon that sprays boiled blood in a wide or narrow arc, can melt fodder demons alive.

thank you my friend

[brittle finch]

Belly of the beast is HELL

[obsidian shard]

Erm actually it is The Old One

[grim cloud]

Yes cosmic hell still. i mean you do fight in the bodies of dead titans in 2016.

Titan's Realm is a boneyard of huge guts

[versed quarry]

Huge guts?

[grim cloud]

yes huge

as in very big

[versed quarry]

[fleet spruce]

do you think we'll see familiar places in next game or DLC

[crude sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-the-dark-ages-doom-true-launch-the-true-doom-launch-the-true-gif-17039720600748597696

[crude sparrow]

people are saying nekravol apparently

would be cool to come back to that place

also I'm hoping for other sentinel cities we've been to already like taras nabad or exultia

[fleet spruce]

i just remembered that first hell level of 2016 is actually called Blood Keep in the codex

while not technically the same exact place as 64 , name use doesn't seem random

[crude sparrow]

could just be a reference

[versed quarry]

Some people are speculating the Umbral Plains

[fleet spruce]

I believe at best we're going to get a peek at it as DLC ends, making a whole ass game about civil war sounds like great idea

[versed quarry]

First time we’d be fighting actual human enemies (discounting zombies and Immorans)

[fleet spruce]

Man, the potential is quite big here, especially after seeing concept art for TDA (like whole Limbo level being scrapped and we got eerie looking forest covered in fog as end result at the beginning of Resurrection)

[fleet spruce]

the dreaded return of marauders

[crude sparrow]

idk if we'd see the marauders that soon tbh

[hearty edge]

path tracing is just an overall fps killer for anything so ig so

[crude sparrow]

do we know if they started turning during the civil war or after

[versed quarry]

After I think

[hearty edge]

i believe it's during

hmm

[crude sparrow]

the chat is divided

[versed quarry]

Almost like

Like

Argent D’Nur was

[versed quarry]

But the Codex entry said that the Marauders were “denied finality in death” so that leads me to assume it was after

[hearty edge]

eh we dk how much the civil war lasted so it could go both ways

[versed quarry]

Fair

[crude sparrow]

cant wait for spider-man's debut in DOOM: Civil War

[versed quarry]

Surely they’d name it something more interesting than that

[crude sparrow]

I sure hope so xD

[grim cloud]

dev direct when i wonder. must have dlc tease soon then right?

[fleet spruce]

we're probably closer to the DLC than we think

[harsh egret]

i was starting to feel the opposite lol

[versed quarry]

Tomorrow…

[harsh egret]

since theres low chance for them to show dlc for games at these dev directs

[grim cloud]

i think quakecon 2026 will be the release date, that comes from my arse

[harsh egret]

so unless they are gonna randomly drop a trailer at some point, then i dont think we are that close
but that could be smth they r gonna do so

[crude sparrow]

what about xbox showcases?

[fleet spruce]

stop , don't channel the Half Life energy

[grim cloud]

that is what i meant

[harsh egret]

yeah but they dont show dlcs at the dev directs

[versed quarry]

Little do you know, I am in a Valve fan discord server

[grim cloud]

TGA tease cost a lot more money then a quick xbox showcase in jan ...which is pretty much free

[fleet spruce]

gasp

[harsh egret]

they dont show dlcs at the xbox dev directs

not before at least

[versed quarry]

I am the traitor

[grim cloud]

there is always a first time

[harsh egret]

im not expecting that to happen at all

[fleet spruce]

watch , they're gonna drop trailer in 3 weeks from now on

[versed quarry]

Three you say?

[fleet spruce]

oh my god

[frail bloom]

No trailer during the holiday season

[slender night]

Half-Life 3
3 is half of 6
Order of the Six DLC confirmed?

[crude sparrow]

valve intends to drop hl3 with the steam machine release, which was expected to drop in march 2026 but now they're apparently delaying it because of the ram shortages

[frail bloom]

Christmas is boring like always

[harsh egret]

not if u make it not boring

[versed quarry]

It’s gonna be tomorrow, trust.

[crude sparrow]

dlc on christmas eve

[frail bloom]

All I got is E33

[harsh egret]

so enjoy that lol

[frail bloom]

Hopefully

[slender night]

I got Hexen II and I'll be getting my hands on Quake 4 in 2 weeks

[fleet spruce]

HL3 is not real come on guys, it's the greatest social experiment ever

[slender night]

@gilded lake I will experience what you have named "peak"

[frail bloom]

Really what did he say

[harsh egret]

tho i dont know what ur expectations are for it and also what types of games u enjoy outside of doom

[versed quarry]

It is real, and it will drop tomorrow.

[frail bloom]

I like games where I build stuff and hunt stuff. I have never played a turn based game I think

[fleet spruce]

Quake 4 my beloved

[harsh egret]

well, we'll see

[versed quarry]

It’s just my opinion, but I really don’t like playing turn-based. It’s fine if you like them, but I ain’t never gonna play one.

[slender night]

I'm playing on 360 so hopefully I won't get the 15fps experience people claim it has

[frail bloom]

Well idk if I like them cuz I never played one

This is my first one

[versed quarry]

Fair enough

[slender night]

Oh yeah and the 0GS Quake II achievements lol

[harsh egret]

the turn based system feels pretty good in this one tbf, it feels more dynamic in a way

[fleet spruce]

iirc running at lower resolution helps with performance on 360

[slender night]

I think I have it at a lower resolution than usual because the colors look nicer there but I'd have to go check

[fleet spruce]

crazy that it was one of the launch titles for the x360

see , no quake launched on recent console generations which speaks for itself just how dire everything is

[slender night]

By bundling Quake II in they were able to prove that the console can tackle both the past and the present

[slender night]

The last one was Quake Arena Arcade yeah. Also an Xbox 360 game, even an exclusive one

Well aside from the new Nightdive rereleases

[fleet spruce]

excellent remasters , a bit power hungry on handheld PCs, i played q2 thru a source port on Steam Deck to enjoy glorious 7.5 hrs of gameplay

[hearty edge]

can't wait for the doom slayer's big screen debut on Avengers Doomsday

[fleet spruce]

thankfully now that i own ROG Ally X battery is no longer a concern

[slender night]

I've been thinking of a Steam Deck lately for games like The Amazing Spider-Man but too pricey for a novelty item atm

[fleet spruce]

Amazing device in price performance ratio, great for tinkering around

[crude sparrow]

appears without warning
solo's entire universe

[frail bloom]

So I see Mick attended the game awards, what did he say

Can't use whatever he posted on so brass tacks pls

[slender night]

Unfortunately the use case for me is minimal. I don't travel much, and at home I'd rather just boot up the good old Xbox

Maybe once they're cheaper I'll get one

[harsh egret]

He didnt say anything he just attended

[frail bloom]

Ah alr

Him when he sees Marty on stage:

[frail bloom]

Wha no way

[harsh egret]

Yeah, no way.

[hearty edge]

i'm guessing he was still happy for doom

[harsh egret]

Oh im sure he is

[frail bloom]

Could be just going in general

[hearty edge]

i hope he blasted rip & tear on his brain through telekinesis

[frail bloom]

He's the type of guy to move on

[fleet spruce]

I'm constantly at work, due to it being boring asa retail job i take full advantage of the hardware

[crude sparrow]

while I'd love to have him do the soundtrack for another doom game I doubt he'd wanna come back, even if they made up or whatever

[frail bloom]

Have they made up anyway

Like, financially

[crude sparrow]

no idea

probably not

[frail bloom]

Hm

I'm not knowledgeable on this stuff but they should be

Idc abt the ost, I have been proven that there are many capable people

But y'know reconciliation would be really nice rn

In a perfect world

been getting windy asf here too

[obsidian shard]

damn

[green estuary]

where I live it's just cold as hell lol

[harsh egret]

all i want is some damn snow

makes no sense to be no snow in norway at this time of the year

[obsidian shard]

REAL

Wishing for a white christmas!

[unkempt dragon]

it's snowed this much everyday for the last week. You can have it lol

[versed quarry]

hi I'll take it all

[unkempt dragon]

I'm good Jay, thanks for asking. Had the day off, wby?

[hazy pasture]

Holy snow

Would 100% cannonball into it

[mystic barn]

Me too! (it’s summer in Australia)

[unkempt dragon]

That's where my partner lives and they are coming here for New Year's for a month. It will def be a change😅

[mystic barn]

Wowee, that’s a massive distance! My girlfriend lives on the other side of Australia from me, so I can imagine being on different continents is tough. New Years knee deep in snow sounds lovely!

[young schooner]

I wish we had this here. Snow is very pretty. Instead we get seriously frigid temperatures but no fucking snow. Just grey skies. Awful

[unkempt dragon]

Hugs to Australians this week

[unkempt dragon]

It's pretty for the first day then it's muddy and awful. It's been -10F as well. They declare snow emergencies so you're constantly having to move your car to not get towed. I'd like the snow if it were occassional and not such a nuisance 3/4th's of the year

[young schooner]

That's fair. I'll take this over summer but it still isn't great.

[unkempt dragon]

[hazy pasture]

Done. Really a good one

[gusty seal]

I call upon the great @green estuary
What are the numbers for the flails damage with regard to the dream mace and gauntlets. I believe you mentioned this once.

[green estuary]

every flail strike deals 100 direct damage + 2000 splash damage, so 2100 total to the primary target
gauntlets deal 1k/3k/8k/16k on each successive strike (with the upgrade, the third strike deals 12k damage, and each strike after the 4th deals the same damage as the 4th strike)
each mace hit deals 22k direct damage + 5k splash damage (10k splash with the upgrade) so fully upgraded it deals 32k damage each strike

[obsidian shard]

So all of the Weapons are good?

BLASPHEMY

[gusty seal]

thank you almighty @green estuary

[fallow haven]

hey, so what happens between dark ages and 2016 that causes the slayer to lose so much power?

[meager vortex]

remove this

[young schooner]

He didn't lose any power, really.

[unkempt dragon]

#the-codex

[warm ibex]

16k gauntlet damage

I swear I've tried to switch to the gauntlets so many times but after half a year of playing with the flail it doesn't click and I go back

[meager vortex]

gauntlet is 4 hit damage

last4 hit kick the demons

[green estuary]

yeah the gauntlets are actually cracked
also enemies tend to drop melee charges when you hit them, so you can often get something like 6 gauntlet strikes in a row which is the same damage as a double dreadmace

absolutely wild stuff

[warm ibex]

christ on a cracker

that is wild stuff

I've been missing out

[green estuary]

the only real benefit I see with dreadmace as of right now is the fact that you can essentially swing it any time you want, plus it does a bit of AOE damage
but if you actually pay attention to falter windows, the gauntlets are honestly better imo
back before the dreadmace nerf, the AOE damage was far more substantial

[obsidian shard]

Gauntlets my beloved

[gusty seal]

I agree, ive noticed the guantlets have better utility, especially with the first shield rune upgrade. flail needs to be buffed. I can use the guantlets more often than mace, and with more damage over all per second when paired with all you other combos.

[hazy pasture]

I use Flail the most cuz I love inflicting the least damage

A mere part of the challenge I orchestrate for myself every time I play TDA
