[green estuary]

what's the point though

[solar spoke]

just joking, I don't need the Komodo any harder than it already is lol

Imagine though...

[green estuary]

then it's just an exercise in running away

not even backpedaling, because the AI is faster than you when you're holding S
but literally just turning around and sprinting

[solar spoke]

agreed, I've taken my eyes off it way too many times just for it to make the distance in a fraction of a second

[harsh egret]

i think they should just make the phase where he runs around and shoots those projectiles a bit shorter

[obsidian shard]

Imagine a spirit esq enemy that acts like a Buff Banner Demon and Makes all of said demons attacks Unparryable

[harsh egret]

[solar spoke]

[harsh egret]

It would have to be a very easy to find and kill enemy lol

[solar spoke]

yeah, no more buff totem hunts please

[harsh egret]

lowkey wish those had like 4-5 diff spots they can spawn in each arena that they do

[slender night]

Imagine a life of your creation, made of plastic, and it'd be fantastic

[frail bloom]

Hmm idk abt this one

[hard thistle]

My brother in Christ, that would be insane. A crazy brutal challenge.

[frail bloom]

Idk abt the whole no parry thing

Especially if your opponent is a cacodemon or revenant

[harsh egret]

yh it would be a bit too much

which is why it should be a very easy to kill enemy, and not hidden around like the buff totem in eternal

[frail bloom]

Maybe it's ok for incidental encounters with not a lot of demons

[harsh egret]

but i'd rather not have that at all

yh

[frail bloom]

Like that one in Kathural Marshes or however it's spelled

It has you throw your shield and rush towards the secret

[frail bloom]

Maybe make it a demonic obelisk

Made outta flesh, of course

[harsh egret]

yh why not

[frail bloom]

Yeah just an idea, I think a sort of tower would be easily seen

You break the foundation and it falls

Smt like that

[alpine pilot]

[heady trout]

atlan peaks at the old one fight ngl

[heady trout]

cursed prowler ass enemy

sure it's easy to kill but just lame to hunt

it ends up adding nothing

just an extra "move to x location"

[frail bloom]

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

[frail bloom]

👍

I gotchu

[obsidian shard]

It's called a "fuck you" demon

[heady trout]

unfun bad design demon ❤️

[obsidian shard]

It's peak

[heady trout]

we stan bad design in this house

[grim cloud]

probably not until the next showcase, whenver that is

[frail bloom]

Me betting it's a random tuesday

[obsidian shard]

June

[grim cloud]

then June it is, last years was June

release date maybe QuakeCon

I wonder how big the DLC will be. Eternal was 6 levels (about 50% of the main game). It took them a year to grind that out which is pretty astounding.

[heady trout]

tbf the latter half was

[frail bloom]

Hmm I differ here

[heady trout]

problematic to say the least

[frail bloom]

I'm thinking May release date

[grim cloud]

so a 1 year DLC? hmmm maybe but I have doubts

[frail bloom]

Plus, not the same marketing strategy

[grim cloud]

marketing strategy was superior with eternal

[frail bloom]

Not arguing there

[frail bloom]

It was just bc of covid

[harsh egret]

its 👏 not 👏 covid 👏 anymore

[frail bloom]

They put a year one pass bc they were confident in their resources

But covid came in and upset everything

[grim cloud]

well no covid means bigger DLC right? right?

[heady trout]

i hope

[harsh egret]

doesnt make sense for it not to be

[grim cloud]

we do know that level building is faster in idtech8

[frail bloom]

I'd go with them releasing 8 levels

Seems fair to me

[grim cloud]

not sure if we get levels, might be more hub based with bigger areas, but we will see

metroidvania lite

[frail bloom]

It prob is hub based

[harsh egret]

yh Hugo confirmed u can also go back to previous levels and 100% them when u are done with the dlc

[frail bloom]

So what do we think he means by that

An area that's locked off...

[versed quarry]

I mean technically you’ve always been able to go back to levels in DOOM games

[frail bloom]

Slayer gates??

[grim cloud]

it means you get power ups in later levels that can be used to reach unreachable places in older levels

[frail bloom]

Or smt bigger

[harsh egret]

idk if he means that u have to replay the level with new unlocked abilities or keys that let you access new areas

[harsh egret]

what he means is more metroidvania-esque

[versed quarry]

Yeah I’m just being a smartass

[obsidian shard]

30% of the Content in the DLC is only playable until you actually BEAT the DLC

[frail bloom]

Hmmm but I don't think it's gonna be "power ups"

Maybe special keys

[harsh egret]

or mobility items

[frail bloom]

Imagine having a secret level that's insanely hard

[grim cloud]

keys, power ups, all those things. key items if you want to be speciific

[frail bloom]

The real final boss sorta shenanigans

Also, 30% is a huge number

[grim cloud]

not just things like "double jump" "missles that break open certain doors" and what not like in metroid or zelda

[frail bloom]

Like that's almost half

[versed quarry]

Bro what

[frail bloom]

Almost

[grim cloud]

well its almost a third

[frail bloom]

I said almost

[harsh egret]

then u can also round it up to 10% and it would be almost nothing

[frail bloom]

Ok I'l go with a third ig

[harsh egret]

[versed quarry]

Yeah but it’s not really “almost”

[frail bloom]

Doesn't sound as enticing

Y'all have no future in business

You gotta have some puffery

Ya gotta

[versed quarry]

Thank god

[frail bloom]

Lol

Ye a third or whatever

Ok I can say that's kinda big

But are they levels you gotta unlock or just areas, bc a bunch of areas amounting to 30% is still quite a huge number

Well we don't know but what do y'all think

[grim cloud]

i wonder if slayer gates are kinda the same thing in eternal. must find a key? or currency to open things?

[harsh egret]

from what i understood, both

[frail bloom]

I'd love some secret level

[harsh egret]

fr

[frail bloom]

I hope the secrets are more secret-ish, maybe they don't appear on your automap

Atleast the collectables and skins

Those make sense

[versed quarry]

Trying to 100% without that stuff in 2016 was so fucking annoying

[frail bloom]

But I'm advocating that for stuff that's not needed

Currency is needed, codeces, but not collectables

Nor skins

But I hear they're really trying to perfect the backtracking and traversal aspect of it

So we can prob have more intricate secrets and exploration

[grim cloud]

i always wish there was a official way to add demon skins to the eternal campaign. maybe with a slider too so you can have difference ratios

i tried making a mod that did that, but it was pretty tedious to randomize all my caco skins

[plain pumice]

Is anyone else having this problem where they have all the demon essences and ammo and still haven't gotten the achievement? 😭

[obsidian shard]

Awww man

[random sand]

You sure you got 'em all?

[heady trout]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omni-man-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-invincible-gif-3935116808772397515

are you sure you have them all? You can obtain some in optional encounters

so by just playing the game and reaching the end you aren't getting them all

they are pretty hard to miss admittedly but its possible

[plain pumice]

It's not my first time playing, I have all the chapters.

[heady trout]

its not about all the chapters, it's about killing basically all demons with the "unlock more ammo\armor\health capacity"

[green estuary]

the rocket launcher is actually full auto

so you can just hold down the trigger and it'll send off rockets pretty fast

[obsidian shard]

Damn that's sick, didn't know that

[green estuary]

just like the good old days

[frail bloom]

Alr I released my endless mode

Pretty happy with it mostly but I need more features

[heady trout]

word? thats rad

[solar spoke]

I can't remember, was the launcher full auto in Eternal too?

[green estuary]

don't think so
but the cooldown was also fairly long so it didn't really matter that much

[green estuary]

it felt about the same fire rate as the OG rocket launcher to me

although I could just be misremembering

[fading bone]

theres been reports of bugs with that one and the codex collecting one

as many times as ive seen someone say that they have that bug i havent seen anyone actually give an answer to it that isnt replaying the game on a new save file

[solar cairn]

I expect at least 10 levels

22 is better, of course

[green estuary]

[fleet spruce]

Same

[random sand]

that's almost as many as 2016 and eternal 😭

(i agree tho)

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[split gate]

In your PC

[fleet spruce]

in the forsaken plains

[frail bloom]

Yeah that's not happening

That is still an entire campaign

[random sand]

c'mon. it'd be funny tho

[frail bloom]

Well it'd be surprising but not happening

It just ain't

[harsh egret]

i expect at least 2 levels

[frail bloom]

My man Hato comin out with the facs

[random sand]

i expect at least 1 level

[frail bloom]

Now there's some critical thinking

[fading bone]

i expect a downloadable addition

[random sand]

i expect downloadable content

[harsh egret]

the new dlc is just the snow in hell concept art added to the digital artbook

[frail bloom]

I released my endless mode preset yesterday, were the waves on the first and second rounds too much?

Sneaky said so I changed them

[harsh egret]

ill have to play it, hopefully today

[frail bloom]

Maybe too monotonous

Yea I significantly decreased the wave count

[harsh egret]

yall cooked me with the one yall made

[frail bloom]

I mean, you can join us perhaps

Then we can cook together

[harsh egret]

but i also havent played as much this month so maybe im just washed

[frail bloom]

Dw I'm working on another preset for ppl who are just starting up again

My very own tutorial preset

[harsh egret]

i randomly decided to try UN and died on the hebeth atlan lvl by dashing into one of those ground projectile

[frail bloom]

Isn't dashing just dodging

[harsh egret]

like dashed into it with a charged punch attack

[frail bloom]

Oh

Yeah that attack is clunky

[harsh egret]

for some reason i thought i would just phase through it

nope.

[frail bloom]

Well now you know

[harsh egret]

know you know

[frail bloom]

[harsh egret]

[random sand]

It did not

Base 2016 had 13 levels

As in its campaign

[fleet spruce]

Technically it used to have, multiplayer content DLCs, then they were shortly reworked and became free part of the game

MP maps are pretty interesting to look at ngl

DOOM TDA DLC RETURNS IN AVENGERS DOOMSDAY

[obsidian shard]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1249915579985301517/1465945840848867555/This_post_was_fact_checked_by_real_Demonic.gif

[fleet spruce]

holy shit

[gaunt frost]

are there any news on the DTA dlcs?

[obsidian shard]

Their is only ONE DLC

[gaunt frost]

oh I though there will be 2 like in eternal

[obsidian shard]

COMBAT:

• Slayer Gates are returning.
• Archville will be returning.
• Mobility will play a major role in the DLC, every new mechanic will meaningfully affect gameplay (similar to the Sentinel Hammer in TAG 2).
• The gameplay loop will still be the same, but with fresh new stuff.
• A secret weapon that will require work to unlock. The weapon is "tied to a meaningful piece of lore, that id is going to share with us"
• New Spear weapon featuring a teleport or leap ability.

EXPLORATION:

• We will most likely see more of the cosmic realm.
• There will be a hub area — likely the Kreed Maykr’s ship.
• Exploration will have a stronger role in overall progression.
• Challenges will also based on Combat, Exploration and Puzzles!
• DLC will be more metroidvania-esque; lots of backtracking
• Additional mobility options will be available, and some sections will require them.
• Levels will feature more backtracking, more unlocking of the space.
• Roughly 30% of content will be inaccessible until the DLC’s story is completed.

LORE:

• Major lore questions fans have asked about will be pushed forward.
• Some connections to DOOM (2016).
• Teases relating to the Sentinel Civil War, the Wretch, and “armor” (Interesting...)
• We are going to meet people from the lore that we have been waiting to meet.
• Marok will have a role in the DLC.
• Cutscenes will be more immersive, possibly in first-person.
• The Order of the Six (the High Council) are likely our targets.

MUSIC:

• Finishing Move will most likely be returning to compose the OST. (Not yet confirmed)

[obsidian shard]

nope! Was confirmed shortly after launch! Also why we havent gotten anything yet

Already will be getting 2 weapons which is rad

[gaunt frost]

sick

thanks bro

[obsidian shard]

np!

[young schooner]

No clue what he means by "that id is going to share with us."

[obsidian shard]

We'll learn about it when the DLC releases (is my guess) i.e. Share what the Cosmic Realm is from in game codexs

[young schooner]

I misread what you said, nevermind.

[obsidian shard]

ok alr! How ya doing tho m0no?

[young schooner]

I'm alright, working a bit on the guide while I'm at work. How about yourself?

[obsidian shard]

Im good, going to drop my brother off at school, then pick up an item at the post office (I Hate Tariffs)

its the 3 TDA Keycard Pack

[echo sail]

tysm

[meager vortex]

i have a red key card have

[solid beacon]

I got blue key card.

[obsidian shard]

👍

[frail bloom]

What would y'all like to see in the Ripatorium that would make it more substantial to play? Maybe make a list of your most wanted features

[flat elm]

Its just me or TDA arachnotron is bigger than Eternal?

[frail bloom]

No I am not an id employee, sure the question sounds like I'm asking for feedback but I wanna see if we agree or not

[frail bloom]

No I don't think so

If anything it feels smaller

If there's a size chart of eternal's we can compare

I know the manc is much bigger in tda than eternal's

[frail bloom]

Anyways this

I'd add:
Lost souls, mayker drones
Rotating maps(prob not possible)
More rounds
More enemy count customization
Atleast 2 more base campaign maps
All the dlc stuff plus 2-3 dlc maps

I'd ask for a streamlined way to play a preset without codes but that's prob the best they can do for now

I think all of these will make the mode more replayable and unique

[hard thistle]

Aratum map plus Forsaken Plains map, possible Serrat and Atlan inclusions (like a midpoint challenge in between the third and fourth rounds if you have five in your preset), and a comparatively small one for the jukebox, possibly the soundtracks from other id games, like Wolfenstein, Quake or DOOM 2016 and Eternal.

[frail bloom]

Hmm

I agree with those two maps

I'm not sure abt Serrat bc the way it's used doesn't really fit with any horde mode or arena battle type of gameplay

Atlan would be good if it had more enemies and weapon choices

And I don't oppose the juxebox idea, that would be rather cool

[obsidian shard]

New maps (Forsaken Plains, Aratum, and Siege)
DLC stuff
Music per level chooser
Lost souls, Maykr Drones and The ability to add the Enforcers

[frail bloom]

My guy I agree

Would make it so much more substantial

But I'd also add more rounds, bc I feel like 5 isn't enough for certain types of presets

Cough Endless cough

Unless it isn't possible

Or too clunky

[obsidian shard]

For other games music I'm kinda mehhh on since a fair bit of the Previous games tracks Don't fit (BFG Division, Cultists Base) and Gotta let TDA OST shine a bit

[frail bloom]

I don't oppose the idea but

I'd get it if they didn't

[harsh egret]

i think they said early on that they wont be doing that no?

[frail bloom]

I think so?

I can't remember when

[slender night]

I want them to add in some IDKFA tracks tbh that'd be neat

[obsidian shard]

That too

[obsidian shard]

Waiting for IDKFA on vinyl

[frail bloom]

Idkfa might fit imo

It sounds like thrash, unless I'm mistaken

[mystic barn]

The DOOM 1 stuff is, but the DOOM 2 stuff is modern. In one of the comment sections on a short that Andrew posted, he said that he made the distinct choice to differentiate between the compositional styles for each half of the album

[frail bloom]

Now that I think abt it

Doom 2's remix was a bit heavier and more "synthy" if that's the right word choice

[mystic barn]

Put it this way; Andrew’s new Running from Evil has the Bleed herta, a style of picking that you wouldn’t hear in classic thrash

[obsidian shard]

For a Forsaken Plain map I would like to see some more of those Crucified Titans

[flat elm]

The holy balls of Aratum

[frail bloom]

Oh hell yeah

Side note
kinda crazy you can see the giant floating cosmic caco's in the ripatorium map

Gives the map more life

[obsidian shard]

and da squid

[frail bloom]

Yes da squid

[flat elm]

I want archviles that summons da squid

[frail bloom]

Nooooo

[meager vortex]

challenge goal (examples kill demons mancubus 50/50 or kill agaddon hunters 30/30)

[frail bloom]

Ok so more enemy count customization basically

[meager vortex]

or make a new maps

only 3 maps is not enough

[obsidian shard]

Yes more Enemy count (per enemy)

[harsh egret]

more customizable time limit

1-2-3-4 mins and so on

[meager vortex]

i want new maps for ripatorium2.0

unholy siege part1

[slender night]

No Hell level is incredibly jarring to me

(I mean the lasagna Hell)

[frail bloom]

I bet it'll be there at some point

Too much vistas to not use

[meager vortex]

more! challenge reward just like a eternal

leader board!

or arcade mode just like doom 2016

[frail bloom]

Leaderboards are useless

Just gonna get compromised again

[obsidian shard]

wdym

[frail bloom]

I think for eternal, ppl cheated on the leaderboards

And they had like ridiculously high numbers

[green estuary]

right after it got released there were already cheaters on the leaderboards, yeah

also who gives a crap about leaderboards, it's an exclusively single player game

[obsidian shard]

I got in top 50 one time

[green estuary]

mfs just be wanting more live service istg

oh sick

[final dune]

2 weapons?

[obsidian shard]

2 weapons

[final dune]

Cool I thought there would be only 1 with the dlc

[arctic pagoda]

Doom go bonk

Andrew Hulshult is creating music for a movie

It's cool

[obsidian shard]

The OST for Iron Lung is out

[arctic pagoda]

Yea that's the movie

[solar cairn]

Most likely, one will be an alternative to BFC

[frosty roost]

it's so good!!

[wintry forge]

Seeing it Friday 🤘🏻

[frosty roost]

I'm gonna be watching it on saturday!

[uneven dragon]

im seeing it tomorrow im so excited

[obsidian shard]

Peam

[harsh egret]

Yeah im also gonna go see it on friday, excited

[obsidian shard]

Also @frail bloom for the Forsaken Plains map, they should totally add those dragons and hell ships and barges flying around

[solid beacon]

#screenshots message

[rough terrace]

I love shredding demons in ripatorium

[meager vortex]

me too buddy

[heady trout]

so is the Cycler in conjunction with the heaven splitter rune good? Cause honestly I've just been using the accelerator way more and getting results

i just don't really understand the Cycler like I understand the Accelerator

[fading bone]

the cycler just does insane constant dps with the overdrive shit against shocked demons

[fading bone]

no because shock rune doesnt continuously spread the shock and also the cycler deals bonus damage to shocked enemies

they work together

[flat elm]

I need Doom 3 shotgun in this game, we have mostly weapons that designed for close to mid range.

[fleet spruce]

I guess Doom 3 shotgun would make a fine Dreadmace alternative

[sweet locust]

Does anyone know when a potential trailer for the DLC would come out?

Or is it still unknown?

[random sand]

Nope

[sweet locust]

Ok

Going back to where I was

https://tenor.com/view/grave-dead-me-gif-9601836

Ping me if we ever get the trailer

[random sand]

We'll probably get one in like 3 months

[meager vortex]

trailer is coming 2026 but we don't know when

just expect id 35years event?

[mossy juniper]

Behold my theory about DOOM the Dark Ages' excessive fog use is correct
Kaibz new mod update adds a fog density slider
Like It's SHOCKING how good the game looks now

Details are now visible instead of being lost to endless diffusion

[obsidian shard]

id should tone it to half imo

[mossy juniper]

It's also independent from sky fog so it doesn't effect the skybox

[fleet spruce]

they should just add slider so that there won't be fog complaints like that

[mossy juniper]

It actually looks incredible

Like it looks SO much better than the previous two games and would probably shut the "2016 and eternal looks better" haters up

You will if you turn it down

I set the fog to 15% with the mod

You start to see the beautiful ray traced GI

Go on nexus mods and search for Kaibz DOOM The Dark Ages mod

It is a MUST Have if playing with HDR

It brings back shadow and highlight detail

no longer diffused to hell by fog

I'll do a video comparison

at some point

It's drag and drop

It actually looks better atmospherically than DOOM 2016 (The one everyone glazes for atmosphere)

[mossy juniper]

[stone pasture]

Anything on it?

[solar spoke]

either the world's smallest person in that coffin or a shotgun built for Andre the Giant lol

doom the dark ages figure 14inch

it's bigger than collector edition

this figure have a ahzrack skull

see that blood it is his blood

slayer flail covered ahzrack blood and his feet blood too

and look at the skull eye bleed nose bleed head bleed ahzrack face same

[green estuary]

skull is way too large to be ahzrak’s

Looks like an agaddon’s

[meager vortex]

that is figure

slayer rip off ahzrack face

[green estuary]

dawg

[harsh egret]

350 bucks

[meager vortex]

yep

[green estuary]

ahzrak’s skull is nowhere near that large lol

[meager vortex]

well ahzrack have a new nick name face cracked

[green estuary]

plus his horns aren’t even shaped like that

[harsh egret]

darkhorse also released a cooler pose statue thats only 2 inches shorter and that one is 110 bucks

what makes this worth 240 bucks more for 2 more inches

[green estuary]

I know a lot of people would pay 240 bucks for 2 extra inches

[meager vortex]

if slayer have a trophy

[harsh egret]

the cape and the figurine looks the same pretty much

the top one is 110, the bottom one is 350

12 inch vs 14 inch

[meager vortex]

if i slayer i will skinned off ahzrack face because that fucker killed serrat

[green estuary]

tbf the bottom one looks much higher quality

[harsh egret]

imo its mainly the lighting that makes it look that way

the cape is exactly the same

[green estuary]

just compare the shoulder plates

the paint job on the bottom one is straight up better
240 bucks better? Idk though

[meager vortex]

btw how to copy image here?

ok im find it

[obsidian shard]

If your getting the bottom onez just get the Prime 1 studio one ngl

[harsh egret]

lmao

its def on the pricier side but yes it is a little bit better than the first one but not triple the price better

[green estuary]

the bottom one also has infinitely more aura than the top one just from the fact that he’s holding the flail

[obsidian shard]

The new Dark horse direct statue is 650 CAD (after shipping)

[green estuary]

it’s the aura tax

[harsh egret]

yh its just that the CE already has that

[meager vortex]

damn

not a joking right?

[obsidian shard]

No joke dude
350 USD +Shipping

[meager vortex]

+trump tax

[obsidian shard]

It's in the same pose as the CE statue lmao

[harsh egret]

pretty much

[obsidian shard]

Bigger plus new base

[harsh egret]

and i guess its also more expensive cuz of the "limited to 500" thing lol

[meager vortex]

that is why

[harsh egret]

might be a Fanattik situation where they are still in stock like a year later

[meager vortex]

just same collector edition

[obsidian shard]

It's very cool, but the price is a bit much

[meager vortex]

because doom the dark ages slayer figure

maybe 3d printed DIY version is the cheap

[green estuary]

(He lives in Canada)

[meager vortex]

yep but i don't believe trump said canada 51 state

because that is non sense

[obsidian shard]

I don't pay Tariffs for that stuff

[green estuary]

people really just be blaming the us for random stuff

[obsidian shard]

I just pay Duties and Taxes, which I would do anyway

[meager vortex]

nah just trump is weirdo

not all america people

my level Tierlist, Belly of the beast is in C tier cause of the acid arena and Sentinel command station bc of the explosive barrel spam that can lower ur health dramatically out of nowhere

barrier core is just a forced tutorial on replays

[frail bloom]

Ye awesome list

Someone, ask Hugo if we can have a fog density slider

Puh-LEASE

[heady trout]

I'd put seige part 2 in A if it wasn't for that last arena being so, oddly hard I just dont understand why its hard its just three hell knights with one being a battle knight and one arachnotron

i think it's just ur shield not being as powerful when parrying idfk

[frail bloom]

I thought that arena was pretty good as a climax for the level

[heady trout]

that's not my point

im just confused as to why it's so hard, like it has to be bc the shield doesn't have any runes by then or something

[frail bloom]

I didn't really feel it being super challenging, it just takes some prioritization

It can be hard if you mess up

[green estuary]

Me when console players

[frail bloom]

PLEASE🙏 🙏

Katsu send some images pls I wanna see

[green estuary]

I will dw

[frail bloom]

Everyone keeps hyping it up

Awesome thanks

[harsh egret]

pretty sure a fog slider isnt happening lol

[green estuary]

Yeah they have an artistic vision for the game

[harsh egret]

its an artistic choice

[green estuary]

Just so happens that less fog makes their environment design pop way more

[frail bloom]

I'm stuck being a console chud

[twilit pumice]

Favorite environment design out of the modern Dooms?

[twilit pumice]

Same. Lol

[heady trout]

either Urdak or Taras Nabad

[green estuary]

resurrection, for whatever reason (especially with less fog)

although as arguably bland 2016's version of hell is I just really like kadingir

[obsidian shard]

Cosmic Realm goes fucking nutty tho

[slender night]

First time I'm seeing Sneaky swear what the heck

[twilit pumice]

Upon playing Doom 2016 again, Hell does feel very bland compared to the Mars levels.
From my memory, I absolutely loved the cosmic realm levels.
Resurrection, I remember loving the burnt forest with the hellified environment with sentinels suspended in air by poles.

Prolly pick up Doom The Dark Ages again after my current Doom 2016 playthrough

[obsidian shard]

I try not too, but the cosmic realm is the most Chaotic Beauty I have ever seen, it's sooo bloody cool dawg, and the music!!!!!

[green estuary]

just as well, because I swear enough for the both of us

[solar cairn]

I would like more locations from hell

[mystic barn]

What do you guys think will be hinted at in today’s stream?

[frail bloom]

Hm

We had a story, weapons, exploration and enemy hints

I think we gotta get a location hint

We don't actually gotta I'm just guessing

[harsh egret]

At this point idk what Hugo can say anymore

He's said so much

i'd love if they showed us more concept art

[green estuary]

he could tell us when the trailer is dropping

[harsh egret]

"tomorrow"

"not quite tomorrow"

[empty furnace]

what if the dlc added a random horror segment

[supple oracle]

I just want to start with all weapons and upgrades, in the DLC

[green estuary]

I would assume we would

[supple oracle]

Total rework of the cacodemon, fix the shield parry in the aggadon hunter, Whiplash, hellknight

[frigid hemlock]

yall play classic doom maybe?

[fading osprey]

Go to #classic-doom

[frigid hemlock]

yeah ik but noones talking there rn and i need a quick opinion on a midi i made

Would be strange if you didn't

yeah but no media

where doom

Right here buddy

[harsh egret]

im doomin' it

[mystic barn]

Music channel

[fervent maple]

The DLC will add dual wielding and be a Wolfenstein 3 tie in. This is absolute fact*

*in a timeline other than ours, maybe

[alpine pilot]

dual wielding shields and simply parrying filthy space demons

[frigid hemlock]

aight thnx for the help guys also sent it on #classic-doom-maps-mods if anyones interested

[solar spoke]

Like have us start the DLC as a demon or something and trying to escape?

[mystic barn]

That or maybe some psychological warfare from one of the Arch-Demons. If we’re learning more about Doomguy’s past, maybe one of the Arch-Demons uses hallucinations to confuse, scare, or torture Doomguy

In the DLC you will play as

new concept art

i still remember when the first one dropped and hugo said they might show more here and there or smth

nothing since

because we saw how well that went with a another certain rage-fuelled character in a certain Playstation franchise lol

[solar spoke]

we played as the Revenant in Eternal, in this we play as his twin brother...

Not entirely sure the connection here, sorry. I don’t really play that many video games

@harsh egret has he responded

I was gone for a lil while

Ripatorium stuff 'member

[harsh egret]

ah, didnt ask yet, i asked about photomode and they havent said anything to that

He did? I was not paying attention, what did you say

Wait how do you know he read it

[harsh egret]

Idk if he did but he looked like he read a long comment and was gonna say smth but ended up not lol

i asked "was wondering if you guys are putting content updates such as Ripatorium stuff or other things on hold until you guys are done working on the dlc"

[frail bloom]

Aw man

Hm

That is pretty broad

You think asking abt the mayker drone and lost soul is too much

What do you think

[harsh egret]

i asked two questions that werent answered i dont wanna do 3 in one stream

[frail bloom]

Alr fair

someone else can do it

Already putting it in da ig list

Hugo: “Not gonna tell a large story”

Also Hugo: Brings back the Kahn Maykr, hunts Order of the Six, sets up for the Civil War, has big story moments with Marok/Valen, Wretch possible appearance, 2 new weapons, more Cosmic Realm

[green estuary]

the expediency with which man makes these memes needs to be studied

[harsh egret]

IKR LOL

[warm ibex]

Doom 3 Chapter Three stream notes:

When talking about games he’s been playing, Hugo mentioned that he’s doing “research for work” that he can’t talk about. Sounds like the kind of “research” they do at the start of every new development cycle.

Id Software 35th anniversary stream next Wednesday, February 4th. There will be NO big dlc reveals during the stream.

Streams will be mixed up in the near future. Unreclaimed Earth modded master level will be revisited. They will play games that aren’t Doom or id Software related as well, but won’t reveal the games yet.

The Kahn Maykr is back, and we’ll learn a little more about her. The voice actor from Eternal did return.

The Ripatorium is getting three new community encounters to replace the current ones. Coming very soon through a tunable.

[frosty roost]

LMFAO, hugo spoiling us!

[harsh egret]

sup horse mode

[solar spoke]

how will Hugo cope with the rails of Unreclaimed Earth this time?

[green estuary]

jorge mode gaming

[wintry forge]

Dude I’m wondering the same thing

[green estuary]

(he won't)

[frail bloom]

Thanks for asking abt the missing enemies, even if they didn't see

[wintry forge]

lol I missed nearly the last 45 minutes of stream and just so happened to have time to open back up to the last 5 minutes to hear the reveal before the stream ended

[frail bloom]

I'll try it next week and hope they'll see the message

[wintry forge]

They still have yet to read any comments about Photomode potential

[warm ibex]

I got you man

[solar spoke]

taking bets on whether he'll take anyone to HR over it

[obsidian shard]

Nika Futterman is Returning!!!

[supple oracle]

Research for new game for sure, which mean the DLC Production is so close to be finished

[green estuary]

no I'm sure he's gonna do it
he's just not gonna like it lol

[wintry forge]

Elena returning confirmed

[frail bloom]

I'd say a few more months

[supple oracle]

I will say May

[warm ibex]

I think they're in the polishing stage. will likely be another few months, so the May theory is seeming more likely

[frail bloom]

That's a few months yeah

[solar spoke]

I feel so old, nearly 6 years on from Eternal lol

[frail bloom]

Also

Khan maykr is their biggest drop yet

We HAVE to be seeing the nekravol discovery now

[supple oracle]

Yeah ofcourse polishing happen after finishing production, like for dark ages I think they finish the production in Nov 2024

[frail bloom]

It only makes sense

[wintry forge]

So with the Kahn returning, hints to the discovery of Nekravol, and hints towards the setup for the Civil War, is it safe to say that the Kahn Maykr, not just the Kreed, truly was involved with Hell in TDA?

[frosty roost]

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

[supple oracle]

I think I know what direction they gonna go for next game, Mostly action horror

[frail bloom]

Didn't they say they weren't doing that

[warm ibex]

I think that's just talk at the moment

more of a "what we would like to do someday" type conversation

[obsidian shard]

Action Horror for the civil war would go hard

[frail bloom]

I could be wrong

[mystic barn]

She’ll be getting goopy for Doomguy again, that’s for sure

[harsh egret]

Imo he likes the idea but I dont think its the next game. Also an action horror medieval doom game sounds a little bit weird, idk if its just me (assuming they are doing more medieval doom)

[warm ibex]

very hard disagree personally

[harsh egret]

^

[supple oracle]

Not sure, but since hugo talk about this week and previous week, I think they going to that direction, hugo said is not gonna be resident evil action horror like

[green estuary]

if anything TDA would be more appropriate to have added horror elements into, since it's relatively early in doomguy's history with the sentinels and with all the cosmic stuff

so they'd be most justified in making you feel a bit weaker

[supple oracle]

I might be wrong, well 100% most the time, but talk based what he talked last week and this week

[green estuary]

but post-TDA I don't really see horror being introduced personally

[frail bloom]

Jut imagine the khan in id tech 8

Like holy moly

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-doge-gif-24837098

[warm ibex]

either way, with the kahn maykr confirmation it definitely seems like they're setting up the argenta civil war. I'd image that's what they're doing for their next game. pretty exciting to go straight into the war

[frail bloom]

Oh I gotta tell m0no

[supple oracle]

This what Saleem's research department found out 🤓 LOL

[obsidian shard]

"Hype" as one may say

[frail bloom]

@young schooner Hugo straight up just said the Khan maykr was in the dlc

[solar spoke]

Ultra reflective

[frail bloom]

Or she might look like Kreed

Either way it'll be a huge update

[solar spoke]

Eww, Genghis Khan Makyr

[frail bloom]

Yes

[solar spoke]

She'll look cool either way

[young schooner]

Oh shit that's exciting.

[supple oracle]

Like, a game focus in week points, limb dismemberment, High resource managment, melee, shield block, just mix the good stuff from eternal and dark ages in one game will be awesome right ??

[frosty roost]

and the va for her in eternal is back too

[mystic barn]

If so, could we expect semitranslucent skin? I think that would be a rather appealing visual and would maintain consistency for high-ranking Maykrs

[harsh egret]

are u calling the Khan Maykr fat

[green estuary]

smh

[frail bloom]

No her skin is some metallic white

It has no luster as far as the drones do in tda

imagine dragons you say

[frail bloom]

Well he's gonna have more attacks

[green estuary]

that would be pretty dissapointing ngl

[supple oracle]

I think they need to keep the dragon for big rest for now LOL

[frail bloom]

That would be

[harsh egret]

could be but could also make him a bit more special if they make him like the best boss in all of gaming or smth, imagine that

[young schooner]

I want an honest-to-God, no frills, classic Archvile for TDA. Just take the original Archvile, make him a model, put him in there. Make him bring back dead enemies. Give him back the devastating LOS flame attack, and give the player a tiny window to parry it if they land it to blow up their surroundings.

[solar spoke]

what if he's a...

[frail bloom]

Already ahead of yah

[solar spoke]

Big Boss

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-goku-prowler-meme-prowler-stare-meme-gif-6137058116832105601

[frail bloom]

I 101% agree with all of this

[heady trout]

how fucking embarassing

[supple oracle]

I mean eternal has bosses that appear later in levels like Doom hunter, Marauder

[frail bloom]

Make. Him. Speedwalk

[solar spoke]

Invisible

[green estuary]

mods, remove his right index finger'

[frail bloom]

Also make him parry your attacks

Imagine that

[supple oracle]

Also the champions demons for dark ages, maybe a champion archvile

[solar spoke]

why would you do this?

[heady trout]

legitimately i dont see whats so easy about this fight especially in phase 2, theres just so much shit on the arena that I have to avoid idk

[green estuary]

well a lot of it comes down to circle strafing

also using the cycler feels like a cheat code

[heady trout]

i died when he did the whole ''place many damage circles across the arena'' and combined it with the weird red breakable shield thing and i tried meeling him and i just so happened to land both in the damage circles and the damaging shield thing

[harsh egret]

yh that would be sick, then he can get some cool intro cutscene like he deserves

[wintry forge]

The more it’s sitting with me, the more I kinda wish Hugo didn’t reveal the Kahn Maykr for the dlc lol. I feel like that would’ve been such a cool, surprise reveal to save for a trailer or just the game itself

[heady trout]

this is legitimately the second time ive died to the kreed, the other was bc i was distracted

[solar spoke]

It happened Twice!?

[heady trout]

the first time i wasnt trying tbf

[frail bloom]

It is a huge leap of info compared to the other stuff

[harsh egret]

lmao i can agree

[wintry forge]

100% not a tease, just a straight up reveal. I’m very surprised

[frail bloom]

But I'm not complaining

[heady trout]

here he caught me in a bizarre stunlock

[solar spoke]

fair, I wanted to hear his death dialogue

[frail bloom]

Atleast I can confirm some things

[green estuary]

yeah what does the kreed say when he kills you

[heady trout]

the melee strike left me in a double aoe damage situation and i died so quickly

[heady trout]

honestly bad luck

[wintry forge]

The Arch-vile reveal was one thing, but that’s an enemy that had a huge probability of returning. The Kahn is more of a grand reveal, greatly involving the story. It’s still awesome nonetheless

[heady trout]

like the melee tried magentizing onto the kreed and left me in a dying area basically

[supple oracle]

Let talk about the spear, like have it own equipment slot, use it for leap around the area, will be awesome too

[green estuary]

yeah maybe he shouldn't have revealed it
but at least this isn't gonna be an eternal situation where the entire plot of the game was revealed in the trailer

[supple oracle]

Pretty sure the spear gonna be the main key for new platforming puzzles

[frail bloom]

Tbf we don't know what she'll say or do, neither what she looks like now

It's huge but

I don't think they're gonna drop smt like that again

[heady trout]

okay thats stupid, the cycler just melts him faster than any other weapon AND i didnt know this bruh

like it feels like im cheating ong

[green estuary]

he doesn't actually take more damage from it

[harsh egret]

I remember how low poly the Khan Maykr looks up close in Eternal lol, I cant wait to see her in TDA

[green estuary]

but the shock effect combined with the ability to stay at a relatively safe distance is just killer

[wintry forge]

Bringing in a whole VA makes it seem like she’ll have more than just one little line of dialogue. Which is hype af

[solar spoke]

"This day will be remembered"

[frail bloom]

Def a big role

[green estuary]

interesting

[frail bloom]

But what, we don't know

[harsh egret]

fr

[wintry forge]

She’s gonna be beautiful 😭😭 I’d like to see her he more menacing as an authoritative figure, kinda like how she is when she gets pissed towards the end of Eternal

[frail bloom]

This story is too damn big

[heady trout]

ok so im never fighting the kreed with the cycler this is a joke, much like how the khan makyr was trivialized with the lock on burst, micro missles and sum other shit the kreed makyr is even more of a joke with the cycler

[wintry forge]

Hope the Deag Priests can return as well. At least Deag Grav

[green estuary]

khan maykr in id tech 8 gonna make me act unwise

[frail bloom]

How are they gonna fit the high council plotline, the khan mayker plotline and the marok plotline

[heady trout]

im actually dissapointed the kreed fucking dies so easily with the cycler

[frail bloom]

Like holy

[wintry forge]

And Cosmic Realm/ Wretch

[heady trout]

badly, thats how

[green estuary]

well it seems like he dies more quickly because you can keep up more sustained dps without being up close

tbf the bar story wise isnt very high in modern doom

yeah its like one of the things that amaze me when ppl go around saying that eternal looked better graphically or smth, like go look at anything up close in that game and compare it to tda, huge difference

[green estuary]

(yes, samuel being a maykr and vega being the father is a fuckin retcon, idgaf)

[frail bloom]

They're gonna have to increase the cutscene length

It's just a lot of stuff happening

[harsh egret]

some* ppl

[green estuary]

don't really mind tbh
they're skippable so repeat playthroughs won't suffer

[frail bloom]

Ye why not

For now it seems like a lot of plot lines and a ton of characters

[mystic barn]

High council plotline is core to the story. Khan Maykr is in cahoots with them, thus the reveal of Nekravol. Marok is a present obstacle for Doomguy, confronting him at key points in the narrative (either to chastise or whatever), unintentionally gets involved with the discovery of Nekravol. If Belias is the Wretch, he approaches Doomguy on his own volition because he disagrees with what the council is doing with the Maykr’s, and thus gifts Doomguy his praetor suit. The Cosmic Realm may come into play via the Elemental Sepulchre. Based on early concept art, this may be realised as the core of Argent D’Nur or the Wraith temple

[frail bloom]

Bro just predicted the entire story

[wintry forge]

Hope we get to see more than just 1st person cutscenes. Like how are we getting all of these characters and moments only in the eyes of the Slayer 💀

[frail bloom]

This is the canon theory

[mystic barn]

You wouldn’t need many scenes to set this up if this is how the narrative plays out

[frail bloom]

Perhaps

[harsh egret]

well yk how it is, Hugo says alot of things. I just think it might be more in the style of Eternal's cutscenes

[wintry forge]

I agree with most except Belias

I do hope we learn more about the Elemental Sepulchre and its discovery. It would explain why the Sentinels pretty much believe the Wraiths to be extinct in tda

[wintry forge]

I’d like to think this is the case. Less “cinematic,” but still have cinematics

Maybe travel to the Cosmic Realm to find the key and/or map to the Sepulchre 🤞🏽👀

[frail bloom]

Hugo joked abt us predicting the story but we're doing that rn

[harsh egret]

I just don't want the cutscenes to become too "avengers" and stuff. It can have cool moments but sometimes I feel like theres too much happening with too many characters and it does tend to lessen the immersion in some ways for me and im sure others too.

[frail bloom]

He said it's more immersive didn't he

[mystic barn]

I’m also on the fence with Belias. On the one hand, even though he’s a very minor character in the story, he had significant focus in the lore, with a well-developed codex entry and a handful of scenes showing his disapproval of Ahzrak. If I were to analogise his character, it may be like General Hux in Episode IX, except better. On the other hand, Belias is just a minor character, so the lengths they’ve gone to for his character may be for naught

[harsh egret]

yes ik im just saying i prefer that over them going more and more crazy with it

[frail bloom]

I prefer that too

[mystic barn]

I think choosing to have 5 main players in the narrative is a good call; the council could be viewed as one entity (as they have been so far), the Khan Maykr, Marok, the wretch, and then Doomguy. It restricts the number of moving pieces

[frail bloom]

Ig thira and novik make quick cameos or smt

And they'll dive deeper in the next game

[heady trout]

i kicked enhanced asscracks ass so badly he couldnt even do the ''parry the red men'' attack twice nice

[harsh egret]

Was Thira confirmed to be back in the dlc or nah cuz i dont remember

[frail bloom]

Not yet

[wintry forge]

It would be a good twist, but regardless, I think your idea about the Wretch demon rebelling due to the pact with the Maykrs would be a pretty great explanation

[frail bloom]

She's too important to just disregard tho

She might make it in a couple scenes

Just a couple

[mystic barn]

Oh for sure. I’m happy either way to be honest. Whether or not they go the safe route or the risky route is hard to gauge

[wintry forge]

I’m pretty certain she’ll be return. She had the most screen time aside from the Slayer

[frail bloom]

Yeah

[green estuary]

oh. my god
#screenshots message

[harsh egret]

am i the only one who doesnt like how that looks lol

kinda ruins the "mystical woods" vibe for me

[frosty roost]

true

[obsidian shard]

50% is where it should be at imo

[harsh egret]

yh maybe that'd look better

i just looove how abyssal forest looks

[wintry forge]

One of the best looking levels in the game! It’s top 5 for me

[green estuary]

this is 50%#screenshots message

[harsh egret]

hm thats def better

ill still prefer default i think, at least on that level specifically lol

[mystic barn]

How does Limbo in Resurrection look with adjusted fog density?

[harsh egret]

good question lol

[frail bloom]

Visually stunning.

Boiii Aspiring Slayer just dropped

Allstin jumpscare

[wintry forge]

He’s coming… I sensed him…

[frail bloom]

Every blue moon

[silent surge]

what about accelerator

[frail bloom]

AHH

I'd go with accelerator cuz of the heatblast

[wintry forge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-return-of-the-king-lord-of-the-rings-ro-tk-title-card-gif-22191928

[silent surge]

i ended up not using the heat blast but the other

[frail bloom]

The one where it shoots faster?

[silent surge]

yea just keep the dps rollin

[frail bloom]

I think that is prob better but the heatblast is more for crowd control

Now that I think abt it

It's good at getting rid of surrounding fodder and low tier heavies

The other one prob has more singular target dps

How much tho

[obsidian shard]

Same lol.

more speed, more damage

[green estuary]

bro I'm replaying this game at my old sliders and wtf
I was actually kinda cracked holy shit

now I'm washed lmao

this game's damn hard

I beat ultranightmare on these same sliders and I'm dying multiple times in the same encounter in abyssal forest lol

[frail bloom]

Try out aspiring slayer to get you back on your feet

Shameless plug

[green estuary]

all right bruh

[frail bloom]

[harsh egret]

I'm glad im not the only one

[frail bloom]

No not the difficulty

My preset for returning slayers

Honestly It's not that good but I liked the idea

Tutorial preset or smt

[green estuary]

I thought eternal was hard to get back into
why is the minimum parry window lowk kinda difficult now

[harsh egret]

ye game aint easy

[obsidian shard]

I was replaying the game recently and I'm washed

I died in Manc Mayhem...

[harsh egret]

i died mid dash after charging up a punch on UN on the first atlan lvl a few days ago and i didnt come back to tda since

i just went "wtf am i doing bruh" then alt f4d

[warm ibex]

asking because I might have missed something - I never heard Josh mention a stream on both wednesday and thursday, just that they were moving the normal weekly stream to wednesday. is there a reason you said they're doing both days @harsh egret

[harsh egret]

They are moving the normal stream down to Wednesday and they are doing the anniversary stream on Thursday

[silent surge]

which anniversary in particular

[harsh egret]

35th id software anniversary

[warm ibex]

that's wrong. at 38:35 he mentions that the anniversary stream is on wednesday, and then says wednesday again at the end

[green estuary]

valid crashout lmao

[silent surge]

oh yea that’s right round the corner

[obsidian shard]

STream is only Wednesday

[warm ibex]

yea that's what i was thinking

[silent surge]

is anyone still bugged with progression tracking?

[obsidian shard]

Did a new play through and was having it show stuff i didnt collect but thats it

[silent surge]

last playthroughs i had it was giving me stuff i hadn’t gotten yet. more recently people reported it. one saying if you load a level from select or something

[thin hound]

Yes I’ve experienced the same thing

[obsidian shard]

id does know about! so hopefully next update fixes it!

[harsh egret]

right yeah my bad there, at 30:55 or so idk why i understood that the stream would be on thrusday, sounds like the anniversary stream is on monday then?
also im not sure if that 38:35 timestamp is correct

well he said "maybe monday"

[warm ibex]

he says wednesday after going through the dates that they were considering

[harsh egret]

I thought that was the normal stream

[green estuary]

this game is so peak man

I appreciate it even more after playing other games for a while

[harsh egret]

yh i felt the same

[elfin dome]

yo how's the doom community also new

[thin hound]

Some here are nice, especially at this time

[warm ibex]

timestamp is 33:35, my bad on that. "35th anniversary stream, that's next wednesday"

there we go, cleared it up lol

[obsidian shard]

doomin it

[green estuary]

ancestral forge with less fog looks absolutely bonkers
#screenshots message

[harsh egret]

I wonder if he just mixed them up cuz he said it would be maybe monday and then the normal stream would be on wednesday and not thursday

[warm ibex]

I think you're getting mixed up

the "maybe monday" was in reference to dates they considered for the prerecorded video and/or anniversary stream before they settled on wednesday

[harsh egret]

ok lmao i get it now, he says instead of the thrusday stream they will do the anniversary stream live on wednesday

[warm ibex]

yea lol

[obsidian shard]

bed

[harsh egret]

mhm...

i wasnt joking what i said last week xd

[obsidian shard]

its 3am?

-# i'm slow, what did u say

[silent surge]

it’s been around for some months unfortunately. i tried to replicate/figure up

[silent surge]

playing what else?

[harsh egret]

yep 3 am rn

[green estuary]

prodeus, witchfire, turbo overkill, some wolf 2
tried to get back into ultrakill but yeah I just don't really vibe with the game all that much

[harsh egret]

"Watching the Hugo Martini stream at 3 am 😱 very scary"

[mystic barn]

I guess they only do trailers on a Thursday, but what if there’s not gonna be any big DLC reveals on the anniversary stream because they’ll be releasing the trailer on Monday?

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/plan-conspiracy-theories-gif-27390691

[obsidian shard]

obviously the Super Bowl

[harsh egret]

Also Hugo said they are looking for 3 new Ripatorium presets

I thought it was 6 like Kroniid said

[thin hound]

Really cool to talk to a big name such as yourself!

[dark thunder]

Any more dlc stuff today

[frail bloom]

Fingers crossed mine is in there

[frail bloom]

Sneaky do your thing

Ok nvm

Wait nvm the nvm

[obsidian shard]

The Great Khan Maykr has been Confirmed to return!

[frail bloom]

I need it

[obsidian shard]

The S on my keyboard doesnt like to work as well

[frail bloom]

Nah

[dark thunder]

Awesome sucks we won’t get to kill her again though

[thin hound]

I mean we have potentially 6 Hell Council bosses to fight, so a brief appearance is fine

[frail bloom]

We are not fighting 6 bosses

[obsidian shard]

Who says we're kill em all?

[frail bloom]

I am not gonna have this convo again

[thin hound]

Who knows? Could be a much bigger DLC

[frail bloom]

Let's use common sense

[harsh egret]

[thin hound]

I did say potentially

[obsidian shard]

The High Council (some of them) are still alive during the civil war

[frail bloom]

4 years for 4 bosses, and 1 year for 6 bosses

What is wrong here?

Tell me.

[thin hound]

Your math is wrong

[harsh egret]

the dlc has potential to be bigger than the base game apparently

[frail bloom]

Uh huh sure

[harsh egret]

here we go again this conversation

[foggy fable]

Tbf could be mini bosses one for each level

[obsidian shard]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/971218217852862544/1465946548222431314/This_post_was_fact_checked_by_real_Demonic_1.gif

[frail bloom]

My math is wrong

[frail bloom]

Hato is my math wrong

[harsh egret]

i think that would kinda ruin the importance of these characters

and we dont have to kill them all off in one dlc and i dont think we will

[dark thunder]

DEATH TO THE MAYKR SYMPATHIZERS

[thin hound]

I totally get it if we don’t get all 6, but it’s possible

[frail bloom]

If that happens they'll be of lower quality

[harsh egret]

idk dont ask me about math rn, i just know epicsquid's is wrong

[frail bloom]

4 years for 4 bosses and 1 year for 6 bosses

[thin hound]

Mine is based on official terminology

[frail bloom]

My math ain't wrong

[harsh egret]

makes sense to me!

[harsh egret]

not this again please.

[thin hound]

Well then don’t say you know I’m wrong

[harsh egret]

you know very well what we mean with "bosses" in this context

or maybe u dont lel

[frail bloom]

Champions don't cut it when talking abt literal archdemons

[thin hound]

I doubt we’re getting champions, so in their place will be other bosses

[harsh egret]

ah yes lets make the order of the 6 little champion "bosses"

[frail bloom]

Exactly, not happening

[frail bloom]

I'd say the archvile maybe

Can be a reoccuring enemy

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[harsh egret]

ah yes... my favorite boss is the well known boss "vagary champion"

[thin hound]

That was the first boss, obviously

[harsh egret]

what a cool "boss"

[thin hound]

I think you’re the outlier here that doesn’t see that as a boss

[harsh egret]

no.

[frail bloom]

He's not understanding

[obsidian shard]

Champion is more or less a "Mini-boss" not an Actual boss, DOOM Wiki also states its not a boss

[frail bloom]

The effort and resources put in an actual unique boss is vastly different then that of a variation of an enemy ai

[thin hound]

DOOM wiki is kind of rough around the edges, as I’ve said before

[frail bloom]

And the order of the six would fall under the unique side of things

So no, 6 bosses is not feasible

[harsh egret]

and ur "facts" are too

[obsidian shard]

Better then the Fandom one

[frail bloom]

Unless they're simplified

And I do not want another davoth

So no.

[thin hound]

We’ll just have to wait and see

[frail bloom]

I'm pretty confident

[harsh egret]

the order of the six being mini-bosses is arguably worse

[frail bloom]

Lmao yeah

[versed quarry]

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

[frail bloom]

Like only 3-4 attacks

No health

No phases

[harsh egret]

and then make them also reappear as super heavies

for no reason

[thin hound]

Would you rather have 6 chapters and 6 high quality bosses, or 11 chapters and 2 bosses?
