the-dark-ages

[thin hound]

The whole ages thing still doesn’t make sense, also it is called The Dark Ages plural

[young schooner]

@thin hound, the proof: Doom 2016's Codex says that Argent D'Nur was colonized by Hell during the First Age of Ascension. This does not happen until after The Dark Ages.

[slender night]

Well it's called DOOM Eternal and doesn't last an eternity 🤓

[young schooner]

The Dark Ages is just a medieval-sounding name. If anything it refers to Argent D'Nur, not Hell.

The Ages thing makes perfect sense, in fact it's one of the things in Doom they actually seem to have put serious thought into. 2016 alone gives you enough info to get it.

[thin hound]

Is the First Age of Ascension the same as the other First Age though?

[slender night]

Also, just, like, have it stand still for a moment. Anxiously slowly get closer to you as you realize you're barely doing any damage to it. I really really want them to bring it back and make it stand out from the other demons by making it an actual ominous entity

[young schooner]

Dude, there's only one First Age. That's why it's called the First. The 2016 Codex that says this is specifically talking from Hell's POV.

[thin hound]

I don’t know, it’s very confusing man. I mean there are like 3 different councils

[young schooner]

Argent D'Nur doesn't measure their eras in Ages - they use "Time of" descriptors, as we see in Doom Eternal. i.e. the Time of Man, the Time of Grief.

[frail bloom]

What

[young schooner]

The High Council, the Elite Council, and the Order of the Six are the same entity. Just different titles.

[thin hound]

The 12 Council of 9 and Blind Council though?

[young schooner]

Those are not related to Hell at all. It's random UAC bureaucracy bullshit. It doesn't make Hell any more confusing.

[thin hound]

I know, but my point is there are name redundancies like that all over DOOM lore that make it a little confusing

(Side-note: if any of you haven't played this, play it. Started it yesterday and it's fucking awesome.)

[young schooner]

Sure, but the Ages thing isn't one of them. What about that confuses you?

[thin hound]

What age is 2149 in?

[young schooner]

Ages refer to the chronology of Hell, not the Earthly Realms. That said, Doom 2016 takes place during the Fourth Age.

[thin hound]

OK, so the ages are determined by Hell events and can be relatively short then?

[young schooner]

No, the Ages are long. Codex describes them as taking place across eons.

Ages are determined by the rule of a Dark Lord.

[thin hound]

Would the death of Ahzrak bring on the second age though?

[young schooner]

The Aranea Imperatrix was the Dark Lord of the Fourth Age. So the Fourth Age began when it ascended to power.

[young schooner]

No, because Ahzrak was never Dark Lord - he was a Prince, who was attempting to be appointed to Dark Lord by proving his worth to the High Council, who would grant his wish if he won the Unholy Wars.

The First Age seems to be unique in that it either lacked a Dark Lord (ruled instead by the High Council) or said Dark Lord was appointed late in its history.

[thin hound]

Now I want to see that whole thing, sounds awesome

Or wait the Unholy Wars are just the events of the game, aren’t they

[thin hound]

But Davoth existed before everything, was he imprisoned the whole time then?

[young schooner]

Davoth's fall at the hands of the Father is what starts the First Age. His reign was pre-history - think humans and how we sort history with BC vs AD.

[thin hound]

So the dawn of the Common Era began when The Father took over at year 1 CE, that’s really cool

[young schooner]

TDA comprises only a small part of the Unholy Wars, which ran for many years.

What about "Metal Age" and "Golden Age" stuff from the Eternal codex?

[thin hound]

We’re continuing the conversation in the codex channel

[versed quarry]

[young schooner]

Sorry about that - I lose track of when they go from just answering a question to becoming a conversation, and forget to redirect.

[unkempt dragon]

Try to remember going forward, I've asked this and given leniency about 100x's over. We made a whole channel for it.

Yeah, that's on me.

#the-dark-ages message there ya go

[steady timber]

what do yall think of the cacodemon for dark ages?

[elder raven]

awesome but he should get a new attack or something

[heady trout]

one of the worst enemies of the game gameplay wise

purely bc of the purple wall attack

[twilit stone]

looks stupid

[heady trout]

the design i like its just the gameplay i despise

[steady timber]

what about design wise?

[frail bloom]

Design wise he looks cool

I like the brainy insectoid look

Gameplay wise,

He's a manifested laxative

[wintry forge]

I love the design. It’s different, but I like the eldritch design a lot.
HATE fighting them tho lmao

[twilit stone]

i want my meatball back, you know what actually the DLC should just be DOOM 1, like not a remake, just DOOM 1, but also put the archvile in it. That'd actually make the game worth the $120

[frail bloom]

Bro's on his ragebait arc

[twilit stone]

tehehe

[cobalt fog]

What about the stuff specifically from the doom 3 stream?

[frail bloom]

.

[frail bloom]

Here

[cobalt fog]

That’s from past streams

I’m trying to figure out what’s new

[frail bloom]

Alr here

New secret weapon, hard to get
Not massive story but satisfying narrative
-will answer some questions regarding lore
-meeting people from narrative we wanna meet
Challenges in not just combat but in other things, some are holt slayer gate level

Archvile confirmed last week

[wintry forge]

This is your official occupation at this point

[heady trout]

they should pay samir with Cacodemon plushies

[wintry forge]

That’s pretty good money if you ask me

[frail bloom]

Hm

Doom the Dark ages dlc releases .-- .... . -. -.-- --- ..- --. . - .- .--- --- -...

[wintry forge]

[twilit stone]

[white dome]

so like does the turret rune on the shield have a random chance of activating or what

and how do i kill that purple shield demon that appears later in the game

[frail bloom]

Not as I remember it

[frail bloom]

You kill it's clone

Assuming it's the guy with the robe?

[white dome]

yeah

[frail bloom]

That's called the Acolyte

They spawn hazards

[white dome]

yeah thanks i couldnt find what his name was in english because i play the game with a different language

[frail bloom]

And occasionally shield themselves and send a clone after you

[white dome]

i just dont really understand how to activate the turret rune on shield, i block the green attacks perfectly and it still seems random to me

[hard thistle]

Kill the clone, then the Acolyte!

[frail bloom]

They have a cool down, like the other shield runes

There's a meter on your shield

[hard thistle]

In addition, the turret is activated by ranged hell surge attacks you parry!

[frail bloom]

It's like a circular bar

[hard thistle]

As are the other shield runes!

[frail bloom]

It loads up each parry you do

Does someone have an image?

[obsidian shard]

I am back and I am dead

[white dome]

oh yeah it's in the corner of the screen

[frail bloom]

Fr

[white dome]

i see

[hard thistle]

Which shield rune are you finding most fun in, @white dome ?

[white dome]

turret one i think it just looks really cool

and useful too

[hard thistle]

Good answer! And I agree!

[frail bloom]

Interesting

Have you tried, the daggers perhaps

Maxed out

[hard thistle]

Slayer with shoulder-mounted equipment is peak Slayer build.

The Daggers are INSANE when maxed out! I slept on them heavy for a while!

[elder raven]

turret + ravager + flail

[white dome]

i tried daggers but not maxed out idk i still really like the turret but i may try them i think

[elder raven]

trust me

[frail bloom]

Is that the health build?

[elder raven]

max daggers will nuke everything in front of you

[frail bloom]

Sounds like it

[elder raven]

yup

[frail bloom]

Hey I hope they add some more presets soon

Wink wink

Would be greatly appreciated

General is back!

[mystic barn]

Is there a location you guys would like to see visualised for the DLC? I'd really like to go back to Limbo. The brief hint of it in Resurrection really got me excited for what else could be done with the space, and the concept art by Nathan Elmer further engaged my curiosity for what Limbo could be. It would be a shame for those interior assets to go to waste; they nailed the calcified look of stalagmites and stalactites. I think it would be interesting for a High Council member to hide out in Limbo and for Doomguy to figure out a way to get there without dying. It could also manifest itself as a rather fun puzzle in game too

[fleet spruce]

I'd like to see more of Doom 64 styled hell as well

[wintry forge]

I completely agree with you regarding Limbo. The concepts for that place were insane, and it would be awesome to learn a little bit more about Limbo as well, given death is a huge part of the Doom franchise

I’d personally love to see some more Urdak type environments somehow. I remember a week or so ago there was discussion about what those possibilities could be since the Slayer can’t travel there

The discovery of the Elemental Sepulchre is a possibility for this time period, as apparently the sentinels aren’t currently aware of any more live Wraiths. I can only imagine that the place is visually intriguing, perhaps very cosmic or world spear-esque in its design

[mystic barn]

There are those Wraith Temple ideation artworks from the artbook. Maybe they reuse those? Because the Wraiths are from the Cosmic Realm, maybe our way back there is by visiting the core of Argent D’Nur, right where the World Spear passes through the planet. It seems to have cultivated its own environment inside the planet. The plantlife is not too dissimilar from what we see in the Karthul Marshes.

I’d love to see more Urdak locations too. Whoever came up with that Maykr church idea was onto something 😉

[alpine pilot]

Where doom

[elder raven]

the what?? lmao

[flat elm]

The limbo meant to be the level during early dev cycle, how shows Nathan Elmer's artstation. One of the locations of this level, meant to be The World Tree built by the gods, from the first Titan's body.

[wintry forge]

That’s where Valen led the Deag Priests during the Betrayal, or at least where he granted them access to. That’s where the slumbering Wraiths reside

[wintry forge]

Yeah, I remember reading up on that stuff. It was interesting stuff and would be cool to see someday! Although I doubt it personally

[fleet spruce]

maybe...

scrapped doesn't necessarily mean forgotten...

[wintry forge]

Yeah, just like those World Spear concepts! That’s probably my favorite piece of scrapped/unused content for the game

[twilit stone]

Umbral Plains, we've been hearing about this stupid place since 2016, I just want to know what the big deal is with the plains that are told to be umbral

[mystic barn]

It might be the first level of the DLC. If I’m right and TDA base game ends at the point in the first testament where Davoth says “In his ravenous hatred, he found no peace”, the continuation of the story would logically follow the successive passage; “and with boiling blood, he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the Dark Lords who had wronged him.” We might then pick up at this point

[fleet spruce]

holy shit

[cursive grotto]

Fellas

Am i the only one who's having a bit of an issue with the shock bouncing

Like when i kill a shocked enemy the shock just doesn't chain between them at all

Even if they're directly next to eachother

[fading bone]

i havent noticed that no

[heady trout]

it just dawned on me, the reason why both "from beyond" and "hellbreaker" levels feel odd is bc they are moreso short climaxes to the previous level than levels on their own

minimal combat with a higher emphasis on vehicle with next to no exploration, I suppose from beyond gets more exploration by the nature of it being a dragon stage in a similar vein to Holy City of Aratum

like what exploration can u really do with the Atlan

maybe the original plan was to have these stages be together, seems to make a little more sense, as "Sentinel Command station" and "Foresaken Plains" both end in "jump in the whip"

i suppose that might have been too long and they opposed to it, leaving the stages separate and awkwardly short/vehicle focused

[harsh egret]

They are just pace breakers

They are purposely spread throughout the game

[heady trout]

i suppose, but like Hellbreaker makes me mad bc they bait u with an asscrack fight and haphazardly end it with nothing and a portal (Eternal reference)

from beyond kind of also feels pointless by the end bc Kreed and Thira are taken anyways, well at least demons were killed that probably helped the Sentinels

[harsh egret]

Our time... will come 👹

[heady trout]

killing demons in hell is inherently pointless unless u have a designated target bc theres like an infinite amount

[heady trout]

https://tenor.com/view/goat-washed-my-goat-washed-lightning-mcqueen-mcqueen-gif-13084113942314445304

i love asscrack but that was a BITCH move

[harsh egret]

I mean he's gotta try anyway, even if the plan fails in the end.

[heady trout]

thats fair

[harsh egret]

And I like plan B

[fading bone]

yeah but fighting off a bunch of giant tentacles trying to destroy your base is cool af

[harsh egret]

Yh, the game does it on purpose so that ur hate for him builds up, and hopefully not ur frustration levels over the game

[heady trout]

https://tenor.com/view/truth-truth-nuke-arnold-schwarzenegger-arnold-shook-gif-6352525456991560778

i hope this was the intention

"THIS guy" starts shaking clenched fists

it definitely is

[heady trout]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-flash-thompson-i-wouldnt-wanna-fight-me-neither-joe-manganiello-gif-20930209

[fading bone]

they make asscrack be the smart cowardly villain really well

and it makes the final cutscene that much more satisfying

[heady trout]

I don't even think its cowardice when faced with the Slayer its basic survival instincts

but like, as a player im expecting more

[fading bone]

yeah but he's still a coward

since he just keeps running away and relying on the witch until he has his omega powers

and then suddenly he's a cocky mfer

[heady trout]

the aggadon boss ain't enough i want MORE

[fading bone]

to be fair that aggadon leader was a brick wall in my first few runs

[heady trout]

well, me too but c'mon

maybe they should have showcased the komodo champion then and there

that would have been cool, like "hey new big bad demon and a champion"

feels kind of out of the blue to have it as a boss fight at the start of the bfc level

[fading bone]

well that was its region

the komodo would feel weird and out of place just sitting in the middle of hell for the first time

its an amphibian demon

[heady trout]

oh wait that makes sense

its a komodo after all, thing is it just shows up anywhere after that lol

[fading bone]

well yeah thats just doom

once a demon is introduced it can be anywhere

[heady trout]

"hell? Where's the water"

The Cyberdemons, Acolytes and Cosmic Barons in the vicinity holding their laughter:

[fading bone]

but for the progression and lore its good to introduce them in places that makes sense

[heady trout]

this might be the single worst demon to be in hell bc there's no water

well i think the blood swamps have, even if it's irradiated but im pretty sure the komods can handle that

[warm ibex]

I was in a livestream with Mayo, a few other content creators and an id dev and it was mentioned that a lot of levels were split in half

[harsh egret]

I wonder what made them think initially that nearly 2 hr levels was a good idea

[flat elm]

And that's true, in the game's files for exemple: abyssal forest called m5 forge, and ancestral forge as m5 forge - heart.

[harsh egret]

felt like siege 1 and 2 were initially also one level

i cant remember what they were named in the game files

[fleet spruce]

seems to be something that was happening since first game in the modern trilogy

[flat elm]

And that's actually still the one level in-game, if you use Noclip in the end of the forest, you will apear in the start of the forge.

[warm ibex]

yeah that's one of the more noteworthy ones

[flat elm]

Same thing with Lomarith and belly of the beast IIRC

[fading bone]

they needed to split nerathul as well 🙃

[frail bloom]

I like long levels idk

As long as they're interesting to me

Nerarathul is not one of them

[fading bone]

my pandemonium runs did not like long levels

[flat elm]

Also IDK why but the barracks in files called M3 Holy City and Aratum as M3 Holy City - Dragon

[solar cairn]

If the DLC will be released in the summer, then Hugo will have time to tell everything by that time))

[frail bloom]

Jeez

[warm ibex]

concept art shows jump pads on the bridge that connects the Vagary Champion arena to the dragon's den, so I'd imagine you originally would've walked across and continued into aratum without a level break

[harsh egret]

can get too long for the average player

[frail bloom]

I'm aware

[harsh egret]

what i said wasnt even about me tbh, just thinking of the average gamer

[frail bloom]

I know why they split em

But I play a lot of classic doom wads and those can get 2 hours long

I'm just used to it, rather like it

[slender night]

One of my favorite games is 20 hours long and I thought some of TDA's levels were pushy with the length

[warm ibex]

I wouldn't mind longer levels but at the same time I absolutely would not want to play barracks+aratum and then head straight into siege+ siege 2 lol

[slender night]

Nothing as bad as UAC Atlantica tho I genuinely hate half of that level because of how looooong it is

[frail bloom]

I'd like, like 2 one hour and a half levels

And not consecutive

The levels mostly just don't feel long

Atleast to me

[merry sapphire]

they should add horde mode Gaming to Doom the dark ages

[frail bloom]

They did!

Arachnophobia

[slender night]

They should add glore kill and nick gordon

1. Doom 2016
2. TDA
3. Eternal

[hazy pasture]

So true man it's so beautiful

[frail bloom]

I can respect 2016 at the top

Even tho to me it's a microwave beatboxing

[cursive grotto]

Fair enough bro

[slender night]

3 near the top for me just cuz of the earworm main theme

[wintry forge]

Mick worked with what he could! He was doing as he was told

[cursive grotto]

Although I definitely know there are people here who'd put out a hit on your head for putting eternal last

[heady quartz]

Thank you so much for understanding.

[cursive grotto]

Not that I would

[wintry forge]

Before id opened up to more guitars, as we all know

[frail bloom]

Ik ik it's objectively well composed it's just eh

For me

[heady quartz]

I believe you

[wintry forge]

Apologize to Rust Dust & Guts rn

[frail bloom]

No I love rust dust and guts

[cursive grotto]

Also fellas

[frail bloom]

After the 1 minute wind noise build up

[slender night]

Really confused about this even today. Quake II is considered one of the greatest video game OSTs of all time, did they not learn from that?

[cursive grotto]

I'm on belly of the beast on my pandemonium run

Should I do the secret encounter

[hazy pasture]

Peam it is

[cursive grotto]

Lol

[wintry forge]

Same. They thought the modern audience would find it cheesy or something, tf

[hazy pasture]

Hell yeah

[heady quartz]

The thing is, The Dark Ages soundtrack fits the theme really well, and besides, in my opinion, it's the heaviest soundtrack in the saga.

[frail bloom]

Mhm

[cursive grotto]

Dark ages as a game is just way heavier

[hazy pasture]

It's Groovy, sinister and beefy. Love it

[frail bloom]

2016's is more gritty tho

[cursive grotto]

I mean could you cause an earthquake by jumping from a height in the other games

[heady quartz]

It fits perfectly with the ancient, medieval, and demonic theme it has.

[frail bloom]

And eternal's is groovier

[slender night]

Mick's work for DOOM is jamming but hardly reaches the raw emotion of TDA's OST imo. From the Ashes feels like it tells a story

[hazy pasture]

Heavy ass Slayer suit too

[frail bloom]

This one is harder

[hazy pasture]

Agreed

[obsidian shard]

ALL the OST's HIT

[frail bloom]

Thank you

[cursive grotto]

Easily the best slayer design by far

[hazy pasture]

Gritty stuff

[frail bloom]

Someone says it

[heady quartz]

YESSS

[cursive grotto]

I think a majority would agree with that

[slender night]

Eternal slayer suit kinda ass

[frail bloom]

I thought I was going crazy

[hazy pasture]

Yuh

[hazy pasture]

Yuh

[heady quartz]

TRUE

[harsh egret]

im not gonna say its kinda ass but its the worst of the 3 but for me its still like A- tier

[hazy pasture]

I'd prefer TDA suit any day

[frail bloom]

Too swampy

I don't like the shrek color

[obsidian shard]

The only thing I see on why people dislike it is cause its metal....
Like Aint they all metal?

[frail bloom]

No cuz it's thrash

[obsidian shard]

-# and its not mick

[harsh egret]

also i love how many thumbnails just use the pic of the slayer from eternal where the colors are just off and it looks even more like ass

[slender night]

Replace the colors and I love the suit

[frail bloom]

And thrash is more aligned with traditional metal

And not beep boop djent

[slender night]

But the base colors are so ass it drags the entire thing down for me

[hazy pasture]

People when they throw logic outta window:

[frail bloom]

But well composed is well composed

[hazy pasture]

Too bright for me

[heady quartz]

Hey, do you know what I think about the future of the Doom soundtrack?

[frail bloom]

Idk why they gotta hate on a genre

[cursive grotto]

Also

I have a question for y'all

[heady quartz]

Now that I think about it

[hazy pasture]

Speak my mate

[slender night]

TDA suit lowkey rivals the DOOM 3 Hell Knight for my favorite design in the franchise

[wintry forge]

Picking the best OST is the same as picking the best game in the modern trilogy. They are all unique enough to the point where it’s hard to choose the “best” of them all. Just as hard of a choice imo

[cursive grotto]

What did you guys think about the old one boss fight

[frail bloom]

It's ok

[harsh egret]

lowkey fun

[frail bloom]

Not bad

[obsidian shard]

Bro, The base looks good too, why does everyone have to use that poor render

[harsh egret]

fr

[hazy pasture]

Doesn't feel too grandeur to me tbh but I like it

[hazy pasture]

So real

[cursive grotto]

I think that's just a consequence of the atlan fighting system as a whole, it's REALLY hard to get hit

[wintry forge]

Loved it. Just when you think they missed an opportunity for a Cthulhu boss, it comes in at a peak moment

[hazy pasture]

I think so perhaps

[cursive grotto]

Although I will say

[obsidian shard]

Like the Atlan stuff as a whole; its super cool (plus Cthulhu so plus one point)

[hazy pasture]

True true

[heady quartz]

Look, now that Mick Gordon is gone, since A Fishing The Move Inc. did very well with the soundtrack, what I think is that if another Doom game comes out now, I think it will do well.

[cursive grotto]

Slayer just tossing the old one's head was really funny

[heady quartz]

On the Soundtrack

[wintry forge]

People hate on Atlan and Dragon sections, but I actually had genuine FUN with the Atlan segments

[hazy pasture]

Siege Breaking Old One mid flight is peam

[heady quartz]

Because we already saw what the soundtrack team was capable of.

That's what I believe

[harsh egret]

same

[hazy pasture]

Same here

[hazy pasture]

Agreed

[obsidian shard]

fr, I enjoy the dragon stuff too! Combat is mid but doesn't slog the experience, Flying feels awesome and I Genuinely enjoy it!

[cursive grotto]

I'm neutral about the dragon segments and LOVE the atlan segments

[wintry forge]

It’s so satisfying, then you can subsequently lay waste and blast the other mech abilities

[hazy pasture]

Shock stomp my beloved

[cursive grotto]

Like call me insane if you want but final battle is one of the levels I replay the most just so I can play the atlan segment

[harsh egret]

yh and its even better now with the updated stomp attack

[hazy pasture]

The Atlan and Serrat sections are meant to be pace breakers so I love them as such

[heady quartz]

Well, now all that's left is to pray that they announce a new Doom.

Hopefully

[obsidian shard]

Deadass mine is Hellbreaker

[wintry forge]

Am I the only one who hates the dragon segment getting cut down by the patches? Like, sure it’s better for for second playthroughs, but they genuinely made the dragon segments too easy

[hazy pasture]

The DLC comes first mate

[heady quartz]

Perfect

[slender night]

I pray for a new Quake

[obsidian shard]

Music + Atlan + some great Slayer combat

[wintry forge]

Fr. Stomp became my fav ability after the update

[hazy pasture]

Atp it's the HL3 for id Software community

[heady quartz]

Hey, what's your favorite Doom theme? It doesn't necessarily have to be from the trilogy.

[wintry forge]

At Doom’s Gate from 2016/ Eternal

[heady quartz]

Very tough

I really can't decide, I'm torn between Rust, Dust, Gusts, Flesh And Metal, and Vega Core

Don't let my fanaticism for 2016 show.

[slender night]

From the Ashes

[heady quartz]

Good Tastes, If You Have Them

[hazy pasture]

At DOOM's Gate by Andrew Hulshult

[heady quartz]

YOU KNOW HIM

[hazy pasture]

I know em all

Love Andrew and David man

[wintry forge]

We all know Andrew!!

[heady quartz]

My respects

[obsidian shard]

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

[heady quartz]

DAMN

[hazy pasture]

Sneaky I think we need to make a new truth nuke meme

[wintry forge]

Got take guys… Andrew Hulshult’s “Opening to Hell” is better than Mick’s “At Eternal’s Gate” in being a better Icon of Sin track, sorry!

[heady quartz]

Absolute truth

[hazy pasture]

Also after the DLC is revealed

[heady quartz]

I respect you

[wintry forge]

I judge my Doom music by their adrenaline-inducing potential at the gym

[slender night]

Vro is cooking but I ain't eating

[heady quartz]

I listen to the Doom 2016 and The Dark Ages OSTs all day long

Even for making my bed or cleaning

One day I put Cultist Base on everything.

[wintry forge]

I kinda hope we get some interpretation of At Doom’s Gate in TDA’s DLC in some way

[heady quartz]

That would be great, besides, "At Dooms Gate" is the main theme of the saga.

Practically the Iconic Theme of the DOOM Franchise

[slender night]

I've been saying this forever now and I'll keep doing so until we see it come true

Remix Sadistic from Final DOOM for TDA's DLC

[fleet spruce]

The Ancient Gods opening

[heady quartz]

Awesome song!

[earnest mulch]

Doom Hunter Base ambient track is my default song for doing anything

[wintry forge]

David’s finest work!

[fleet spruce]

https://youtu.be/oStXIosrUE0?si=kKIeA7sq7YaHzTRG

it's just so powerful

[heady quartz]

VERY HARD 🔥

[earnest mulch]

Name an activity that doesn’t go with Doom Hunter Base ambient!

Eat, sleep, do taxes, work out, play doom

[heady quartz]

YESSSS

[obsidian shard]

TAG and TDA Main Menu Music are Unbielevably PEAK

[heady quartz]

True

[fleet spruce]

Both soundtracks are just absolute peak

[wintry forge]

My brother, a causal gamer, to this day says that TDA has the best title theme in the doom trilogy

[slender night]

I'm basic af my favorite is still Eternal

[heady quartz]

He knows it very well

[wintry forge]

Which seems like a hot take, but it’s really not

[fleet spruce]

I still often come back to Blood Swamps

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/party-party-hard-party-animal-head-bang-concert-gif-19855932

[fleet spruce]

It really isn't, that snippet of From the Ashes makes one hell of an intro to the game

[obsidian shard]

So we both have brothers that are Casual Gamers that say TDA has the best title theme in the doom trilogy...INTERESTING....

[earnest mulch]

The drop is so savage in Blood Swamps, you know which one I mean. It’s one simple riff, ten ton hammer of metal

[green estuary]

every piece of blood swamps is just perfection
the screaming guitars are so good

easily my favorite track in eternal

maybe even the whole series

[fleet spruce]

Same

[wintry forge]

Could we be… no…. ?

[earnest mulch]

Hulshult bought a new guitar to write the riffs for the DLCs and it payed off

[obsidian shard]

Basic?? Bro Eternal's and 2016 are BANGERS, The Build up for Eternal's is so freaking good

[green estuary]

hellwalker is still my goat main menu theme

[wintry forge]

Nothing basic ab that!

[fleet spruce]

I love how it's so thrashy, really helps with the later arenas in the level

[wintry forge]

Every time I hear Hellwalker I get Doom Beta flashbacks

[fleet spruce]

And the Trial of Maligog, i will forever be sad that sound mixing will remain ass 😭

[earnest mulch]

The Blood Swamps tone sounds kind of sludgy too, I love when musicians are able to translate an environment and visuals into sound. Mick is very good at this, too

[obsidian shard]

Bro deadass all the games thus far do this impeccably well!

[wintry forge]

I remember Trial of Maligog got a lot of hate when TAG first came out, people saying the guitars sounded kinda “muddy”

[fleet spruce]

UAC Atlantica sounds like waves crashing

[earnest mulch]

Yeah for sure, the cosmic realm guitars like on Into The Void have that submerged watery sound

[wintry forge]

I was like, that’s the point…?

[obsidian shard]

Your not gonna believe this

Synthisized water sounds

Plus general water sounds

[earnest mulch]

We plumbing the depths with these tracks

[meager vortex]

eternal ancient god part1 secondary mission there are hologram shield saw spear

[wintry forge]

Just a shield, not shield saw lol. Good observation tho!

[earnest mulch]

I still want to be the slayer with an axe in hand

Axes are so metal

[meager vortex]

shield with spear interesting....

https://tenor.com/view/hugo-martin-doom-eternal-dark-ages-happy-yay-gif-13218051490774665565

[earnest mulch]

Who didn’t get chills when the marauder was dragging his weapon across the floor

Funny though how the marauder uses his shotgun up close and his axe at range

[meager vortex]

imagine slayer using shield saw+spear killing demons oh! yeah!

https://tenor.com/view/doomguy-evil-grin-gif-20903082

[earnest mulch]

That’d be sick too, like the slow mo scene in 300

[meager vortex]

ancient warrior using a shield+spear too

[fleet spruce]

I love how crushingly heavy it sounds, also i find it interesting that both of my favourite tracks (Blood Swamps and Into the Void) are in green tinted places that symbolize the death and decay

[meager vortex]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4yrO9pxrcok?feature=share

[fleet spruce]

imagine axe shotgun from the concept arts...

[harsh egret]

when i first heard it i was like holy shit dude

just sat there listening for like 20 mins

[green estuary]

real

[versed quarry]

I dunno I still like Eternal's menu theme best

[fleet spruce]

https://youtu.be/RlSbKfShPsM?si=a9uWf1jLZE3_61LU

TAG2 credits has that "until we meet again" vibe, intermission even

[meager vortex]

https://youtu.be/Z-4bg7fOUmU

[frail bloom]

Y'know this might be controversial but they could do that but have some sfx that doesn't synthesize as much?

Bc it sounds cool but I can't actually hear the water

[fleet spruce]

Yeah i was surprised myself, turns out crack motif seen throughout the SIGIL actually first appeared there

[flat elm]

Does the arachnotrons only drop mines on mid range? I think I saw in some vids that they do this even when the player is far away from them.

[ionic glade]

I’ve had them drop mines right in my face before which nuked me and my shield straight to hell. I think it’s supposed to be mid range but it’ll trigger randomly at various distances in my experiences

[heady trout]

arachnotron mines do suck

[wild loom]

hardest boss to beat in TDA?

[frail bloom]

Enhanced ahzrak

[fading osprey]

enhanced asscrack

Double the shit dispensing

[heady trout]

true

easiest is unarguably old one but it's basically a super cool setpiece

[stoic remnant]

between hex and flame is THE hardest hitting song in the modern trilogy and it isn't even close

[heady trout]

this gotta be ragebait

ahem lemme go through the basics "its good but not the best" there, clap clap

[versed quarry]

Best song from the modern games is “Prayer of the Diminished”

[stoic remnant]

no I'm being deadass

this is my legit opinion

[stoic remnant]

I can't tell if that's an eternal song or a tda song

[ionic glade]

Chanting song from Eternal

[versed quarry]

Yes

[frail bloom]

Does give rip and tear vibes

Same with unchained predator

Just fast dumb fun

[stoic remnant]

yeah

[heady trout]

it doesn't have to be a fake opinion to be worded in a ragebait manner

like going "its the best no cap" is basically asking people to go "no"

[stoic remnant]

well by that logic I've been accidentally ragebaiting for years

[heady trout]

happens dw

[ionic glade]

Between Hex and Flame is a great track and boss theme. I think Blood Spill is my fav boss theme in TDA. Ahzrak’s transformation along with the Slayer starting to get overwhelmed during the fight really made it hit super hard for me.

[stoic remnant]

bro did I just get mod logo reacted

[frail bloom]

No

[thin hound]

I’m a moderator?!

[obsidian shard]

That would be.... Epic

[thin hound]

I’ve ascended without my knowledge!

[obsidian shard]

Squid

[versed quarry]

Comic realm bigfin squid

[obsidian shard]

You meant Squid Guy? (Yes this is his name)

[versed quarry]

Wait what

[obsidian shard]

The Squid in the cosmic realm is called Squid Guy

[versed quarry]

By the fans or did the devs say something

[thin hound]

Yeah that was so cool to see, because I knew what it was inspired by already

[obsidian shard]

I know by the fans. I think some of the devs also call it that now but uhh dont quote me on this

[versed quarry]

Ah, I was wondering if it was kinda a Bababoey situation

[elder raven]

i call it the magnapinna squid

i think you can guess why

[thin hound]

You’re absolutely correct

[heady trout]

im legitimately curious what the point of asscracks third phase "parry the red things" part was

legitimately seems like nothing but a time waster

"this will get him" asscrack thought

[fading osprey]

asscrack thought wrong and got his ass cracked

[heady trout]

this might just be tda's story in a nutshell

[fading osprey]

Lmfao

[heady trout]

Enhanced Azhrak boss; Now I will fight you Slayer, fear me.
Normal Azhrak boss: WITCH DO SOMETHING

[fading osprey]

Witch is bitch

[heady trout]

he actually constantly looks at the witch on some "REF DO SOMETHING" when he isn't enhanced

[fading osprey]

witch doesn’t get paid enough to do shit for this whiny prince

[heady trout]

in seige part 2 i die when i see him look at the witch on that "help" timing

[fading osprey]

So fucking real

[twilit stone]

This is all kinda why I never took him seriously

[fading osprey]

I NEVER took him seriously before I got into doom

Still don’t

[versed quarry]

Best part of this is that the witch ended up getting out of that bossfight at the cost of one of her vessels. Meanwhile, Ahzrak did not.

[twilit stone]

Like that shot of him standing in the centre of the screen whilst the Hell Priest walks behind him in his first apperance, he just looks so goofy like why is he being framed like this lmao

[heady trout]

some things i wish reckoning did was
A. Have the level be on a fleet of withdrawing hell ships rather than just "Foresaken plains 2"
B. The final boss arena shouldn't be in some random room in the ship but in a more cinematic outer area like the second phase of kreeds fight

[fading osprey]

I never played TDA, but judging for, what you’re saying, I agree

[obsidian shard]

Interesting

[heady trout]

I would have loved to chase Ahzrak on his fleet of hell ships

[fading osprey]

Hai jay :3

[heady trout]

or hell some new hell ships not seem before that have larger spaces for arenas

[obsidian shard]

I was fine and enjoyed what they did! The only thing I wish is that the music that played was Unchained Predator!

[obsidian shard]

Yo what's up

[heady trout]

while i love reckoning gameplay wise visually it has the Final Sin problem of being too generic

or hey actually have us dive deeper into Ahzraks castle

[twilit stone]

I like Final Sin's look actually, it's a cool contrast against the firey apocalyptic look of Hell on Earth. Gives you this sense of accomplishment

[obsidian shard]

Thats a hot take!

[heady trout]

that would have been cool too instead of foresaken plains again

[obsidian shard]

Hellbreaker had us do that but I know what you mean

[heady trout]

yeah for a limited time and not that much in the first place

i liked that they put a lot of gold easily accessible doe, that's a nice touch

[heady trout]

we already had the harbor of souls ship with alot of stuff in it

[heady trout]

nekravol really spoiled me with its "hell super facility" feel

i like that near the start of part 2 you can look and see how high up you are

[arctic pagoda]

Hi

[young schooner]

I wouldn't really care for the second point here, not to be combative but something I really liked about Reckoning is that it was not really the final boss.

Enhanced Ahzrak was the final boss. Reckoning is you chasing down the motherfucker so he doesn't get away.

The first fight is the climactic end battle against the antagonist. The actual final level is you defying whatever cliffhanger the asshole is hoping for and making sure he's dead.

So in that regard I like the final fight being you cornering him in his throne room and shit.

[stoic remnant]

who else thinks the revenants here go hard asf

[hard thistle]

Plus we kill that wretched fiend, the Witch! And to see Ahzrak desperate, especially since he chose to go toe to toe with the Slayer using the Heart of Argent and STILL lost (he dun f’ed up by taking away a dear companion), we get to instill even further fear into Hell with utterly crushing him.

[warm verge]

i was trying to platinum it but i had a bug in two trophies, in lore nerd and accept shield, any advice of what should i do? I've made some research and it says i have to play all of it again and get all that didn't count but at the moment i don't feel like doing it,.

[random sand]

The witch ain't dead. That body was just a vessel

[mystic barn]

For the purposes of the story, she is. I doubt we’ll see more of her any time soon

[random sand]

Who knows. only time will tell

[fading bone]

how do you know?

[random sand]

It's stated in her codex. That body brings her into physical form

Her real self is just a spirit. She uses that vessel to bring her into the physical world

[river stratus]

A lil bit late, but finally finished my collection of doom games by getting Doom: The Dark Ages. Judging from first Chapter, this is awesome!

[slender night]

Enjoy

[river stratus]

Thank you, kindly.

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[mystic barn]

Hey folks, is there a mod that removes the boss health bars and/or the weapon pickup graphics? Is there a mod like this in development?

[twilit stone]

no there isn't and im still just as bothered by it as you. I don't need to know for the millionth time there's a Sentinel Shrine nearby or that I got a ruby, I have 👀 . I'm hoping it eventually gets added to the Advanced Options mod at some point

[heady trout]

see this is fair, my main point is rather just not wanting the basic "Foresaken plains 2" esque level

[fleet spruce]

guys watch next doom game have 28 levels base campaign

[slender night]

One less pls

[slender night]

For the DOOM 1 and DOOM 3 callback

[warm ibex]

I think it would help if Ahzrak's ship was a little more special on the inside

and maybe we spent a larger portion of the level in there

Nathan Elmer's throne room interior concept is sick https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/892238793174818848/1465373389761019997/nathan-elmer-nathanelmer-ahzrakthrone-002.png?ex=6978ded1&is=69778d51&hm=df75596f5da08ccfed9589108e8a9c951aa577224a2952265024a2ef23ad18a7

would be cool if the ship interior looked a bit like that. although what we got is awesome as well

[thick coral]

hi all should i buy tda full price or wait like a year for the next sale

[slender night]

You won't need to wait a year, the game went 50% off TWICE last month

[thick coral]

sure but thats after christmas and january sales

im a little late to them

[slender night]

Sure, but it shows they're already comfortable making it go on sale a lot

[thick coral]

sounds good to me

ill wait then, thanks

[neon perch]

So uh about the first trailer.

Those sections were cut, right? Or DLC content?

There's levels that straight up don't exist in the final game.

[frail bloom]

Atlan forge?

Yeah we're aware, maybe it would've be after hebeth

Shame cuz it looked grungy as hell

[solid beacon]

#screenshots message

yep that's me who comment dark claw on yotutube.

[warm ibex]

it was someone named dylanshaw5700

[solid beacon]

oh... right sorry.

[versed quarry]

It looks kinda like the top of Nekravol where it’s a fusion of maykr and Hell

[stone jay]

is there a mod that swaps the glory strike animations? so like i use the flail mainly but i prefere throwing the shield in the glory strikes over using the flail, is there a mod out that keeps the animation at the shield throw?

[meager vortex]

dread mace

[green estuary]

Nope

[frail bloom]

I really miss those Allstin interviews

Or Doomtuber collabs where they just talk abt stuff they'd like to see or stuff ingame

[solid beacon]

Take prince throne as actually prince of hell due to concept in my pernonal opiton. Kinda like god of war bit.

[thin hound]

Can you cook what the Dwayne is smelling?

[frail bloom]

Don't know what that means

Do y'all think they'll halt ripatorium updates for a while until the dlc is launched or might they add some smaller stuff

I'll ask on stream on Thursday anyway

[harsh egret]

not in my opinion, no

if u want higher chance for them to see ur msg i recommend twitch and i recommend highlighting ur msg there

[frail bloom]

I just asked bc I really wanna know why the maykr and lost soul aren't in there it has me really curious

[harsh egret]

josh more often reads those out loud

[frail bloom]

Do I need to pay any subscription

[harsh egret]

nah

u just need channel points but its very small amount

[frail bloom]

Infernal chasm plays*

Yeah for some reason I really like the fodder demons, I just wanna do more with them

That and the low heavy tier

[harsh egret]

I hope my question comes across as pure curiosity and not just asking for new content like its a live service game lol

[frail bloom]

I didn't intend for it to be like that either, but I just wanna know why they aren't in there and if it's possible those can return

No one's asking on those streams it's always "when dlc"

[harsh egret]

Plus its been nearly 2 weeks since Hugo said they are ready to swap out the in game presets

[frail bloom]

So are those really easy to change or does it take some time?

Maybe it takes a while

[harsh egret]

they said they are just tuneables

[frail bloom]

Sometimes I just think they forget lol

[harsh egret]

imo i thought they would be changing them every 2-3 weeks

[frail bloom]

Idk either

[wintry forge]

They honestly should. Just to keep the causal players in the loop

[harsh egret]

makes most sense if they are to introduce the idea of updating them with new community made presets

and it doesnt turn the game into a live service game

[frail bloom]

Yeah there's a ton of community presets now

[harsh egret]

just pop up the list here on discord and check whats new

speaking of which...i'll start working on my next preset pretty soon

[frail bloom]

I made an endless mode but

Idk if I should release it

[harsh egret]

why not release it

[frail bloom]

I want it to feel fresh but I think 5 rounds just won't be enough

I utilized waves too but that brings repetition with it

Plus it'd help if the arenas cycled but I don't think that's possible or smt they're considering rn

So I wanna maybe keep it on tab

[harsh egret]

i hope after the dlc that they can find 2-3 weeks where they can commit a bit more time on the ripatorium and expanding on it a bit more, it's very good as it is but it can def use a bit more features

[frail bloom]

I'd really like that too, after the expansion they can really spend some time for fleshing out some more features

[wintry forge]

I just want photo mode for my post-launch content 🥲

[harsh egret]

same

[frail bloom]

I think they'd add it if more ppl asked

[harsh egret]

crazy that this game doesnt have photo mode

[frail bloom]

But it's been months

And all ppl ask is the same thing

[wintry forge]

Everything else is nice, but for the satisfying cherry on top to the package, I want my photo mode 😭

[frail bloom]

I think they should know there's some demand for it, Hugo watched the Allstin Horde interview

[wintry forge]

My reasoning for them not adding it was the game-breaking aspect of it. In 2016, you could easily exploit the game with it. However, this was fixed in Eternal, so it shouldn’t really be a problem that would cause id to not put it in TDA

[wintry forge]

Every few streams I ask about the possibility but that one never gets noticed

[wintry forge]

This game would have the best potential for a photo mode. The environments are insanely detailed this time around

[harsh egret]

Like I said earlier, I really recommend coming to twitch chat and highlighting ur msgs with questions u might have

They do tend to read those more often

[elder raven]

i needed photomode for a lot of my preset trailers

[wintry forge]

Highlighting? Is that a feature on twitch? ( i don’t use twitch often at all lmao)

[harsh egret]

They might not read them out loud but if it's something Josh thinks they can talk about, he does read them out to Hugo

[elder raven]

i worked around it but it would be so better

[wintry forge]

Literally. Everyone in this community would have a use for it. YouTubers, screenshotting, ripatorium showcases, all of that

[harsh egret]

yes, u can spend channel points that u gain as you watch the stream and you can spend it on whatever the streamer has setup as channel points rewards. I believe its 170 points only on the bethesda stream, which is not a lot at all, maybe like 20 minutes of watchtime (i dont actually know exactly but yh).
This screenshot is just from a random channel for reference

Is this happening to anyone else?

[obsidian shard]

speaking of updates! February should be our first Update Month of the year!

of course we could just not get anything till DLC, but going off previous time frames for updates, it would typically be next month!

uhhh

words

[wintry forge]

Looking forward to it!
Can’t wait for some new Ripatorium stuff!

IIRC, didn’t Hugo mention the fact that they probably wont get Master Levels out until after the DLC because that’s their focus rn?

[frail bloom]

Ripatorium🙏

Lost soul and drones🙏

All I ask really

[obsidian shard]

Ye, i'll to find it, but I believe that was said a few streams ago by now!

[wintry forge]

I remember it being recently. I think it was the first D3 stream

Kinda sucks, but still excited for new updates regardless

[frail bloom]

No I think it was belly of the beast iirc

I could be wrong

[obsidian shard]

ye, i remember that being yapped about in the Belly Stream

[wintry forge]

Maybe even a new ML to launch alongside the DLC to satisfy the players who only have the base game still? 👀

[frail bloom]

Smt smt we need to focus on this dlc

[frail bloom]

I'd imagine they'll talk abt it soon

[wintry forge]

Ah. He mentioned the master levels quite a bit, I thought it was pretty recent that he actually stated it would probably be after the dlc. Regardless, can’t wait for them!

[frail bloom]

But for now I'd like some more ripatorium options, I'm trying to make an endless mode and I just need a couple more features

But until then we'll wait and see what they have in store

[harsh egret]

i think what he said was they were just gonna slow down on updates in general

im like 90% sure

[frail bloom]

He said that yeah

But I feel they've been consistent idk

Maybe bc they're such big updates

[harsh egret]

yh even after that they dropped a pretty big update no?

[frail bloom]

Yeah update 3

[harsh egret]

but yh the more time that passes without any master levels the more i think master campaign is confirmed lol

(not that it wasnt already to me but)

[wintry forge]

We can only hope 🙏

[stoic remnant]

how does the slayer control what magnet his shield sticks to?

[obsidian shard]

Prop with his Gauntlet or smth

[stoic remnant]

it's just weird cos you never see him like flick a switch or gesture or anything to suggest control

[obsidian shard]

Same with the DOOM blade tho i suppose

[versed quarry]

I thought the blade was designed to use inertia

Also, I did see somebody create a replica of the doomblade

[obsidian shard]

Based off of how the Equipment launcher works I'm gonna say it is also activated by "a reflex senor located on the interior of the Praetor Suit's gauntlet."

[stoic remnant]

is it also shaped like a ctrl key?

[bronze ocean]

yall, does doom tda dlc have a release date?

[elder raven]

tomorrow

[fleet spruce]

the trailer is just around the corner... I can feel it...

[obsidian shard]

no, im not expecting anything till around May (Same time as TAG)

But the id Software 35th Anniversary is this Sunday!

so ya never knowww 👀

[bronze ocean]

damn, good notices for me, i bought doom tda in premium just to get the dlc as soon it releases

[obsidian shard]

And the DLC is Shaping up to BIG, still DLC size but Big

[bronze ocean]

omg, am about to release in my own face man, can't wait to play it

[obsidian shard]

We already have TONS of info on it this far

[fleet spruce]

the 35 years of peak

[obsidian shard]

REAL! The Hype is gonna be worth it (imo)

[solar cairn]

I’m ready for DLC

[fleet spruce]

[warm verge]

There is a DLC coming out?

[fleet spruce]

[warm verge]

[fleet spruce]

we still have no idea about exact release date tho

[warm verge]

[alpine pilot]

[thin hound]

When DOOM: The Dark Ages DLC?

[split gate]

It will release on the day it will be released

Hopefully soon

[tired sorrel]

Fr??

[split gate]

I found it hard to believe as well but ye

[warm verge]

poethic

[alpine pilot]

Will it have doom

[thin hound]

I don’t understand why you exist

[alpine pilot]

One exist simply to play doom

Also rude

[harsh egret]

bro what

[random sand]

It indeed will

[random sand]

Dawg tf?😭

[thin hound]

If you like playing DOOM so much, maybe talk about it some

[harsh egret]

epicsquid dont say stupid stuff challenge

[random sand]

There are ways of asking why he only says "where doom" without sounding so awful😭

[thin hound]

[split gate]

He like me fr

[harsh egret]

at least i smile every time i see man say "where doom" unlike ur questionable msgs

[random sand]

It's just a regular thing i'm cool with atp

[thin hound]

What if I just say the same stupid thing like “ballsmith” every day here for no reason

[flat elm]

Can the ballistatron as a pressure unit be considered its standard counterpart?
I find them less dangerous

[random sand]

Is that even related to DOOM? What's wrong with him saying "where doom " every now and then? How does it hurt you?

[alpine pilot]

The real doom is the friends me made along the way

[harsh egret]

exactly lol

[random sand]

Yuup

[thin hound]

It’s just annoying when I see there’s a new message and it’s just the same thing every time, I wish he was more constructive

[harsh egret]

???????

[alpine pilot]

Are you a demon

[thin hound]

Hey, you’re actually chatting!

[alpine pilot]

Thats exactly what a demon would say

[random sand]

I'm sorry, is this your server? No it ain't. Let people say what they want. As long as it's within the rules, it doesn't hurt anyone what they say😭

[harsh egret]

yh no ill do the same as horde

https://tenor.com/view/blocked-block-you-blocked-blocking-gif-14145534

[random sand]

If you don't like what someone says. Fucking close the server. Don't look at it😭

[thin hound]

Yeah I think I might just ignore him if I see the message again, make it not my problem anymore

[alpine pilot]

It was never your problem to begin with

[random sand]

Exactly. Stop caring. He does it for his fun and potential fun for others. Das it

[thin hound]

I’m sure Polech has plenty of insightful thoughts on the DOOM games, and it would be nice if he joined our conversations every now and then, is all

[alpine pilot]

"No"

[thin hound]

Well that’s a great quote, so I can’t be mad

[random sand]

Ask him. Maybe he answers

[harsh egret]

he is prob a bigger doom fan than u icl

[thin hound]

Alright man, no need to be like that

Why do you hato me so much?

I’m going back to Canada today from my vacation in Turks and Caicos

[thin hound]

Nice, which part of Canada?

Lot of great musicians from there! Probably really cold right now

[unkempt dragon]

[fading osprey]

[heady trout]

@green estuary when i fight normal ahzrak on the final boss and he does the weirdly telegraphed attack where he keeps his spear stabbed in the ground and shoots shockwaves, i try to parry and that shit always breaks its so fucking weird. I need a video where someone manages to parry that cause my shield always breaks

[meager vortex]

there are concept art doom the dark ages looks like a goblin slayer

[unkempt dragon]

This isn't General chat 2, talk about TDA and also be civil with one another please. Not gonna ask again.

And stop with the gif spamming

[heady trout]

I've managed to parry everything else but this one always gets me somehow

[fading bone]

its pretty straight forward idk

[meager vortex]

parry less or full parry?

[fading bone]

havent had much trouble with that one

[heady trout]

some solution i found is to jump for some reason that helps with the parry sometimes with some ahzrak attacks

no shield breaking

[fading bone]

interesting

i have just learned the timings through repetition

[meager vortex]

because he is asscracked

ahzrack is best enemy but he is weak

slayer power is strong!

hey guys did they stream last week and they said id 35 years event come they will give away stuff?

[harsh egret]

i dont even know if they will do a stream

they didnt do one last year iirc

[wintry nexus]

They said they wanna dive into the doom slayer’s past in the dlc, so I’m really excited to see what that’s gonna be

[heady escarp]

Doom guy family

[ionic glade]

I think what helped me with this attack was watching Ahzrak’s arms as they pulse with parry-colored electricity and that was my cue to parry. Worked after multiple test fights and on my UN run. Granted I stayed close to him so having too much distance might make the timing a bit harder

[meager vortex]

or john romero john carmack

true is classic icon of the sin was john romero

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Z9WrBuQWRBE?feature=share

[raw arch]

hey guys, just downloading the dark ages again and thought i'd ask a question here

it's more of a curiosity thing until the thing downloads but yeah

i feel TDA is a lot harder than Eternal, anyone else feel the same? (positively tho, i really enjoy both games)

[slender night]

I found Eternal a lot harder

[raw arch]

that's fair, i find that to be the more common opinion

note that i played both on Nightmare

[frail bloom]

Tda feels easier. less clunky controls, streamlined, more defense options,

Still no less fun

[raw arch]

maybe it's because i started TDA on Nightmare and Eternal on UV

[frail bloom]

That's prob it

[raw arch]

i was going to say i think I'm playing both games at my full capacity atp, but maybe i still got a tiny bit to learn and get used to with TDA

or at least get used to, cuz i learnt all the mechanics rn

note tho that i love both games, just curious if anyone had the same experience

[frail bloom]

I think for me, when I did my max slider run, I understood the game way more after that

Ik I'm doing well when I use melee, guns and shield mostly equally

[raw arch]

that's smart, yeah i think i learnt the game a lot faster thanks to nightmare, albeit with lots of frustration along the way

[heady trout]

Eternal is harder, problem is ur doing what I did and starting on Nightmare unlike Eternal where we both did UV before other things

[raw arch]

screw the marauder clone tho, i hated them in eternal and i hate them now 😭

[frail bloom]

Agaddon?

[heady trout]

aggadons main issue is that random unparryable attack that while telegraphed is just kind of lame

[raw arch]

yep i believe so

yeah

i don't like having to sit and stare at the guy to wait for an opening 😭

[frail bloom]

I feel like he's less clunky then a marauder

[frail bloom]

Oh just simply walk forward

[heady trout]

impossibly low bar

[frail bloom]

He always opens up

[heady trout]

marauder is super buggy

[raw arch]

o, i might've missed that, been a while tho since last playthrough tho so we'll see

[frail bloom]

Yeah otherwise he pelts projectiles at you. So you gotta close the distance

[heady trout]

my problem with the aggadon despite being one of my favorite enemies is just the fact that it encourages you to go head first but then the red unparryable projectile gives u a middle finger out of nowhere

[raw arch]

wasn't he supposed to only send out dogs when you hit his shield, but his shield gets hit by enemy projectiles? or was that just a rumor

[heady trout]

that's true

[raw arch]

alright many thanks, good to know

[heady trout]

a literal bug they left in bc they thought it would be aid the game experience

[frail bloom]

Yeah do not like that, better if it was mid range

[raw arch]

i think i did do that, but would've prolly forgotten it now since so long

[raw arch]

holy hell yes

[frail bloom]

Still do not agree to this day

[heady trout]

me neither

[frail bloom]

Stupid dumb dog

[raw arch]

so real

[heady trout]

i love fighting the marauder when the bug they left in isn't at play but when theres some fodder spamming i groan and have to kill them first before facing the marauder

[raw arch]

two of the biggest things that makes me hate him

i need to try the arbalest (?) stun on him

[frail bloom]

And then there's the buffed marauder

[frail bloom]

Actual hellspawn

[heady trout]

the buffed marauder is buggy but ok, its the possesed marauder that's ludicrously broken

[frail bloom]

I think they're the same speed?

One just has more health

And the possessed one appears in a slayer gate in wide spwces so he's fine

The buffed one is just aids

[heady trout]

i can kill the buff marauder in 20-40 ish seconds, the possesed marauder always has me at my knees while lasting 2-4 minutes to kill with literal green eye flash hits not doing anything

[frail bloom]

But the Agaddon is a cleaner version imo, but I can understand if one likes the marauder more

Less bugs overall

[raw arch]

also related to the difficulty thing i said earlier, i feel it is because in TDA you need to take positioning into consideration a lot more. in Eternal once I got overwhelmed i would use the verticality to my advantage (plus monkey bars and launch pads, god bless those) to catch my breath before engaging again. in TDA once you're in the fight, you're constantly in danger which is cool and makes it a LOT more intense to me

[frail bloom]

Yeah your positioning def matters more, sometimes I hide behind other enemies

Although occasionally some goes through the enemy I'm fighting

id please fix

[raw arch]

like civvie said for eternal, i just have to Git Gud™

[solar spoke]

It's my humble opinion that the Komodo should have only non-parryable attacks. Hot take?

[heady trout]

i agree

[elder raven]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-flight-reacts-flightreacts-yikes-shocked-gif-6414215169603726054

[mystic barn]

As in his ground slam and spear stabs should no longer be parryable? In addition to his shoulder cannon? He’d easily be the hardest enemy in game if so

[solar cairn]

Unplayable

[elder raven]

i love how the kreed does this when you walk into his arena
