One user (Spoonpl0x on Reddit) who had this issue mentioned this:

For me, the mission "Ressurection" had both codex entries marked as completed but after a manual check, I was missing the Commander Valen codex. Loaded in, grabbed it and achievment popped. Anyone having issues with this achievment, I recommend manually looking at a list of codex entries (I used Game8) and check to see if you are missing any.
If you haven't already, give that a shot and if you notice you're missing one, go into the level it appears in and try picking it up. Not sure if that'll work for you but it may be worth trying! 🙂

Also hi Sneaky and Hato! 🙂

[obsidian shard]

How ya doing?

[solar drift]

Excited after the latest stream, so much good info., especially those very-real DLC hints at the end!

[tender vessel]

I had to cut out the stream early. That’s the hint? Dash?

[obsidian shard]

Same, and man Hugo was spoiling us at the end their! Basically playing the game for us at this point lol

[obsidian shard]

yes

[solar drift]

I tend to agree with the theory that the dash is related to the spear, but it'll be interesting to see what it ends up being. 🤔

[elder raven]

im still somewhat confident that he slipped up when he was talking about hayden

https://tenor.com/view/doakes-bar-gif-4298875606784040546

[tender vessel]

This must have all happened after I left.

[elder raven]

i know he was joking but still

[tender vessel]

I left during the 110% speed nightmare run of ripatorium where there was lots of death. Did he finally beat it?

[obsidian shard]

Uhhh no

"For your final challenge: Lower the amount of heavy Demons in your Ripatorium Pre-set"

"Hell nah, your ass tweaking Josh"

[tender vessel]

Besides ripatorium updates planned such as spawn interval was anything else mentioned?

[mystic barn]

Alright girls, what was the DLC hint today?

[obsidian shard]

Ripatorium 3.0 will be with the DLC update

We will get slots to save pre-sets

Easier way to put in Pre-set codes

[obsidian shard]

Dash

[obsidian shard]

"Girls" ok lil bro
-# I'm younger

[mystic barn]

He’s my favourite character from The Incredibles

[tender vessel]

That’s nice. I’ve not played ripatorium yet but it’s all code based to save them right?

[split gate]

We’re getting Dash as a Slayer skin, it’s obvious

[boreal halo]

dude the super shotgun is overpowered

like i beat the whole campaign with only using is

[obsidian shard]

WHAT

[obsidian shard]

You can do that with every weapon btw

[boreal halo]

yeah but with the supershotgun it was probably the easiest

[fervent maple]

Try the Impaler, I think it's way stronger

But they're all viable

[boreal halo]

idk

well impaler yes but the others

are js kinda like

dust collectores

[green estuary]

then use them

[fervent maple]

Literally all of them are super good, the point is to pick one you like and stick to it

[obsidian shard]

Accelrator has the Highest DPS in the game

[green estuary]

nobody's forcing you to use a singular weapon the whole time

[boreal halo]

idk

[fervent maple]

That's the neat thing about TDA, it's a sandbox

[boreal halo]

i js like smashing every thing with a supershotgun

[obsidian shard]

Chainshot is SSG but range (so is impaler)
Shredder shreds
Rocket launcher is Crazy good, its "COOKED"

Cycler and Accelerator do great damage

[boreal halo]

also the campaign is fucking huge

[obsidian shard]

yes

[boreal halo]

like wydm i spent 5 hours then thought it was the end of the campaign and then only realised i was on 8 chapter AND THEY WERE 22?…

[obsidian shard]

thats a good thing rtho

The Khan was having shower thoughts and that’s why she built the divinity machine.

[obsidian shard]

PU Zen 4 : Advanced Rendering Techniques is a new book
Also features idtech 8
Dark Ages is the Cover game

[hearty edge]

chainshot standing right there

[hard thistle]

So any idea when the dlc could potentially release? I just completed my first run and i gotta say it was the best Doom campaign I've played

[hearty edge]

i sometimes forget to use it during ripartorium but when i do damn

the damage against armor is actually crazy

[hearty edge]

it releases on the 30th of february

[hard thistle]

Jokes aside, when are you guys speculating it to release? I don't watch the streams or keep up on rumors that's why I'm asking

[hearty edge]

i'm not gonna lie on my first playtrough i spent like 2.5 hours on siege part 1

like 30 overall for the whole thing

consequent playtroughs were just like 15 hours or so tho

[hard thistle]

My total playtime was 28 hours and i didn't even get 100% completion on a few maps

[green estuary]

personally I think it's gonna drop in may

maybe april if we're lucky

[hard thistle]

Is late March possible?

[obsidian shard]

Maybe but i doubt

Trying to figure something out for full gamerips
Should I:
Standard Full Gamerip (Amb->Light->Heavy)

Mixed Full Gamerip (No Amb, Includes All Light/Heavy, mixed like an OST)

[tender vessel]

For what purpose?

[fleet spruce]

https://youtu.be/LzEG22LEkjQ?si=9PK0obh9VXJY_wrC

[obsidian shard]

Personal and for Upload (Ive made OST Remixes Previouly)

[versed quarry]

Peak video. Although I personally like Performance by Hugo Martin better.

[tender vessel]

No ambient tracks in your mixed full game rip but if your wanting to remix which is better?

[green estuary]

hugo experiences the joys of hitstun

[obsidian shard]

these are so peak

[scenic lichen]

what was said in todays stream?

didnt get to tune in today

[obsidian shard]

DLC:
Word of the Day:

• Dash (Personal Speculation: Possibly connected to an enemy, secret weapon, the Spear, or a new ability)

Ripatorium 3.0:

• Will Launch Alongside the DLC

• Easier way to share encounters

• Slots to save personal Encounters

• Togglable Instant Respawns for round Waves

[warm ibex]

when talking about the dash don't forget to mention that hugo followed that up with "I didn’t say where it is, I didn’t say what it is specifically."

suggesting that it's not a direct dash like eternal

[obsidian shard]

tyty

[warm ibex]

definitely do NOT want people thinking they're giving in and turning it into Eternal 2.0 lol

[obsidian shard]

I Mentioned that in my reddit post and people are still quick to say "Eternal 2?"

Also some folks are very mean 😭
-# I knew this before, all my posts get some "Eternal Fans" Angry, Even tho I like eternal too

[green estuary]

who the fuck unironically wants eternal's invasion mode

ain't no way I seriously read that comment

[obsidian shard]

Also, talk about impatient, "Where Master Levels?"

DUDE THIS is about DLC and Ripatorium 3.0 in ONE Update

[obsidian shard]

I was Laughing at that one ngl

[warm ibex]

I was about to talk about that 😭

[green estuary]

I find it funny how spoiled people have gotten in the relatively small time frame between eternal and tda

[obsidian shard]

ong tho

Video editing went well Horde?

[final dune]

Where new cosmic realm levels for dlc

[obsidian shard]

but ya like, "Heres Big update, With DLC, its MASSIVE"
AND PEOPLE SOMEHOW GO "Where this other thing"

I Blame Hato

[green estuary]

like tag2 released exactly a year after initial release, so that's 6 dlc levels and two free master levels (plus another paid master level) in one year
and not only has TDA released with roughly a 50% longer base campaign than eternal, it also essentially has its own mini encounter manager that's decently fleshed out, and this is after just 9 months

yet the whole attitude about the time frame is completely opposite

[obsidian shard]

I wonder how the Devs feel bout it?

[warm ibex]

The other day I had a fella leave a lengthy reply in my comments explaining that id Software has completely dropped the ball because the DLC isn't out yet and they aren't supporting the game with constant post-launch content (aka cosmetics) like they did with Eternal. Also felt the need to mention that Eternal launched with wayyyy more content (not true, but a different topic) and that he's entitled to all of this because he paid for the collector's edition

[obsidian shard]

This Reminds Me when i look at Mayo's Comment sections lmao

[warm ibex]

Also completely wrote off the Ripatorium as meaningful post launch content because it's "mid at best"

[obsidian shard]

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

[green estuary]

eternal had the campaign, the arc master level, the buggy ass sgn master level with a million softlocks, and 3 dlc levels after 9 months
oh, and battlemode, the thing that the vast majority of players didn't even touch
but yeah, 9 months on from release I can't believe id hasn't released their dlc that's likely larger than tag1 and tag2 combined lol

totally dropped the ball, amirite

[obsidian shard]

Y'all Got me thinking of a lil reddit post rn

ty

[versed quarry]

If I was allergic to incorrect takes I think this would kill me.

[warm ibex]

lol

[green estuary]

the lesson we can learn from this is that no matter how much people shit on live service outwardly, most of them are still addicted to it regardless

[keen kindle]

I still can't get over the difference between the revenant from eternal and the one from dark ages

[warm ibex]

the upgrade is insane

[keen kindle]

Dark ages looks like the grim reaper

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[green estuary]

the funniest thing is that he also kinda reminds me of the "born 2 shit, forced 2 wipe" skeleton from the meme

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1389644177762947115/1474279619569127454/i_pc_000000s_630q_90.png?ex=69994564&is=6997f3e4&hm=5a6d305e9a3c61be59175a8758e5b4ba9c7e2988b5f82a7408d760ced199d2a0

[keen kindle]

My least used weapons are the energy weapons

[obsidian shard]

Its insane how many you comments you respond to tho dude, like im in awwe

[green estuary]

aw man you're missing out

they're both insane

[unkempt dragon]

ew type behavior

[warm ibex]

I used to respond to every single comment that I read!

[keen kindle]

My most used is the super shotgun because I normally shield bash then shoot it because its quick damage

I also like the chainshot because its good for crowd control

[dark thunder]

saw someone say the combat shotgun was better than the super shotgun

[green estuary]

they at least have an argument to make in TDA

because yeah it doesn't deal as much damage, but it does give you armor

[keen kindle]

Super shotgun is mainly good when you're upclose because combat is good for a decent distance away

[hearty edge]

prolly mixed

[foggy fable]

Live service plague mentality kills games. The sheer impatience of people waiting for the dlc going “dead game” and so on is wild

[warm ibex]

haven't got to it yet 😅 finished the script, just getting visual assets ready before recording and editing. kinda procrastinating

[obsidian shard]

Hype, You'll do great as always!

[warm ibex]

it's absolutely mind blowing that anyone can consider a fully single player game to be "dead"

[willow beacon]

What is this guy on

[keen kindle]

I been trying to 100% the game

[foggy fable]

Game doesn’t get content in a month
“Why did devs abandon this game”

[willow beacon]

tag2 was REALLY bad at best 😭

[warm ibex]

what

[foggy fable]

I thought tag 2 was pretty mostly fine

[green estuary]

I think the argument was that it was a "meaningless slog" because it didn't offer any rewards lmao

[keen kindle]

All upgrades, challenges, and secrets

[foggy fable]

Loved armrord baron

[willow beacon]

well It's not utter garbage, I think I hate it more because of how good tag1 is

It has good moments but overall it's just a severe downgrade in pretty much every aspect

[green estuary]

it's bad in comparison to the rest of eternal imo
which is still good in comparison to most shooters

[willow beacon]

yeah I think I'm just comparing it to eternal and tag1, overall it's fine

[warm ibex]

I think it's very sad! legitimately upsetting to see that sort of "where's muh content" behavior in our community

[hearty edge]

yea it's not like i have played like 25hrs of ripartorium and have had as much fun as with the campaign... not at all

[foggy fable]

Or the hate towards indie devs taking so long to release games too. Like. Stuff takes awhile to be made.

[hearty edge]

dudes be hating for the sake of hating fr

[warm ibex]

it's a gross mixture of impatience and entitlement

[foggy fable]

Then once they do get it “this wasn’t $30 worth of content”

[obsidian shard]

Big One is GTA VI, Game Development takes ALOT of time
And when a Studio 1000+ Members wants perfection, people will still complain

[foggy fable]

“Why delayed so much”

[warm ibex]

there will be complaining no matter what happens. They'll complain if it's not out the door fast enough, but also complain if they rush it out the door and deliver an underbaked product

[foggy fable]

Too many bugs
Not enough bugs
Why it take this long for only 3 levels
Why this why that

[obsidian shard]

GTA V and RDR2 were both delayed 3 time

The Big one is the DLC Comparison

like broski

[foggy fable]

As an author, work takes time. So much time. And if I have my moments of not having the drive or energy to produce top tier stuff I can only imagine devs having to do it full time As a job

[warm ibex]

exactly dude. creating good, worthwhile content takes loads of time and effort

[foggy fable]

And then hell

Sometimes you spend a month on something and realize if won’t fit in the current thing

[warm ibex]

and then it's cut, and that's time down the drain

[foggy fable]

We see it all the time in files and leaked and cocnept art. A super crazy concept cut because just doesn’t fit

Weapon with full animations
Enemy
Enemy animations
Maps

[obsidian shard]

Reaver Nova
Cosmic Fodder
Vagary Leader
Atlan Forge

[warm ibex]

it's admittedly a little funny when people talk about how Eternal already had half a dlc released by this point without realizing that if they hadn't split TAG into two separate releases (like they're doing with tda) then it would've been a full year of waiting

[foggy fable]

Plus they had a fully forced timeline for those tags. I can imagine they had to crunch quite a bit. And tda dlc is avoiding crunch

[obsidian shard]

and a HARD Crunch I bet, with Covid

[foggy fable]

Yeah people forget those tags released at the height of Covid

Many people with underpowered rigs at home working

[hearty edge]

still amazes me how tda only took 5 years to release after eternal when eternal took 4 years from 2016

[foggy fable]

And don’t forget the craziest part

[hearty edge]

like seeing how much content and innovation tda has it's easy to see that id's working their asses of now more than ever

[foggy fable]

Is each time they have a whole new / improved engine as well

Id tech 6 7 and now 8

[warm ibex]

that too! it's impressive

[hearty edge]

optimized as sht every single time too

[obsidian shard]

With Only 20 people On engine, when typical studios have about 100

[green estuary]

nah id tech 8 requires ray tracing, they sold out to nvidia and it's terribly optimized now

[warm ibex]

people also seem to ignore that even with how great they are, TAG and TAG2 are essentially level packs. Compared to TDA which seems to be going much further than just dropping a handful of new levels and enemy ai

metroidvania elements, an entire HUB, around 30% of additional content that's only available after the narrative is completed

TDA's dlc is shaping up to be pretty damn big

[obsidian shard]

I Keep forgetting about that 30% thing, Even tho Its MASSIVE

[warm ibex]

it's MONUMENTAL

that's a HUGE amount of additional content

[hearty edge]

my ssd is sweating bullets rn

[warm ibex]

lol

[obsidian shard]

It'll be MegaDead soon

[hearty edge]

already only have like 10 gigs available

[fleet spruce]

I , too , was skeptical about it before I got my hands on the game, and they even optimized it further for low-end devices like handheld PCs to run smoothly

[green estuary]

(I was being sarcastic, if that wasn't apparent already lol)

[fleet spruce]

I know

I was kinda on that also

[green estuary]

but yeah I was a little nervous that my laptop would struggle with it but it runs great

[obsidian shard]

They Could Lower the Min spec

(Handheld)

[solar cairn]

New maps for ripatorium?

[warm ibex]

nothing confirmed

[crude sparrow]

So, last night's stream's word of the day was dash huh

I doubt we'll get the eternal dash back

Then that would literally just be eternal 2 atp

[obsidian shard]

It will def be something different

[crude sparrow]

I was thinking maybe something with the shield bash

Or maybe the spear idk

[obsidian shard]

#the-dark-ages message

[fleet spruce]

spear charge

[crude sparrow]

One of these days Hugo is just randomly gonna drop the word "meathook" and the universe is gonna implode

I would like to see the meathook ssg make a return in the future. Since Vega said it's a "relic from your past" it would make sense to at least see it or hear about it in another prequel game

[fleet spruce]

Maybe in a civil war game?

[obsidian shard]

Would be sick, but pulls enemies towards us

[hazy pasture]

Ultrakill ahh

[fleet spruce]

That'd be awesome, Bulletstorm had this as a gimmick and it was fun to mess around with

[boreal halo]

bethesda is real smart guys i can prove it

[harsh egret]

Roadhog from overwatch moment

[boreal halo]

both dlc for the doom eternal cost 40 but the premium edition is on sale for 17 and contains both dlc

[crude sparrow]

I think thats intentional

doom eternal isnt a new game anymore so they dont focus on profiting from it as much

which is also why they decreased the base game price from 60 to 40 after a couple years

[uneven mesa]

What exactly is "Togglable Instant Respawns for round Waves" ? I don't undertand

[iron cedar]

Chat im hearing people say there's news about the DLC and some saying about the eternal dash coming back.
What happen?

What did they say??

[harsh egret]

#the-dark-ages message

[split gate]

All Hugo said was dash, we don’t know what it means besides that. Misinformation strikes again

[harsh egret]

it is not confirmed to be like eternal's dash, and it wouldnt make any sense to have it function that way in this game

i shouldve clarified in my twitter post too, i did it in the replies instead

[split gate]

Get ready for people to complain why the dash isn’t like Eternal when it releases 😭

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/oopsies-ohno-gif-25793283

all good, im sure horde will clarify it well in his vid at least

[split gate]

That’s why he’s the goat

[fleet spruce]

People be jumping to conclusions the instant they have chance to

[split gate]

It is what it is

Every day, we get closer to the release date, that is our cope

[harsh egret]

seems like it could be closer than we think

knowing that the next ripatorium update will drop with the dlc as well

[split gate]

All bets on tomorrow, as usual

[fleet spruce]

Trailer is going to be any second now

[harsh egret]

indeed

[iron cedar]

I heard someone say that Hugo said it would be in a few days. Maybe a trailer?

[split gate]

I haven’t heard about that but I’ll hope for that

[harsh egret]

wut lol

who said that

[meager vortex]

Doom the Dark Age Ripatorium New Update Will Release Downloadable Content

[iron cedar]

Chat.
When do you think the DLC will come out and how much will it be prized in y'all opinion?

Heard say that it will be longer then both TAG1 and 2

[random sand]

i'mma throw a wild guess and say october

[split gate]

Before May

[iron cedar]

Hope your right.

Maybe April tho

[split gate]

I have nothing to back it up but it just doesn’t make sense to me we have DLC over a year since the game was released

[iron cedar]

Ik but if it's gonna be longer then both tag1 and 3

*2

Then it will be probably 10 or 11 missions. Wich is like half the campaign in doom the dark ages

[split gate]

They also don’t have multiplayer to work on so besides Ripatorium (which is small) all hands are on deck for DLC

[iron cedar]

Yeah that's true

Im happy they didn't include multiplayer

It's kind of useless over time

[split gate]

It was good decision, they focused on what they’re good at and what people play the series for

[iron cedar]

And PlayStation players (like me) can't play it because it's behind the PS plus paywall

[wooden lily]

thats the thing, my armor was only 120 and health only 170 max

[wide siren]

lmao, one of the funniest moments in the stream was josh going "lucifer is asking if we're hiring" - satan himself trying to go undercover, better not trust that guy

can't believe hugo lost on purpose just to avoid spilling us the good secrets

[errant osprey]

Maybe my question is stupid, but I would like to ask
Does the 30% mentioned mean that it continues the story part?
Does it mean that in order to finish the story, do we have to unlock those parts that are closed or is it just additional gameplay and challenges like Slayer Gate?

[errant osprey]

Hi Sneaky
Do we have any new information about Master Levels or Master Campaigns?
As far as I know they only talked about the Riptarium. Is it possible that this part has been cancelled?

[elder raven]

Wednesday

[split gate]

Nah they wrote it in bold, this person serious

All in on Wednesday

[flat elm]

According to recent William Bao post in Instagram, TDA imp was inspired by first design of this demon for cancelled Doom 4.

Concepted by Kenneth Scott and modeled by Jason Martin.

[slender night]

Love to see D4 mention

[errant osprey]

According to my calculations, it's been about 3 months since the last update of the game
Since Riptarium 3.0 is released with DLC and it's been a long time since the last update:
I think we'll see the next update in 2 months, which means 5 months from the previous update.
If my guess is correct, we'll see the trailer in March and the DLC and Riptarium 3.0 will be released in April

[fleet spruce]

Echoes of Doom 4 are seen to this day...

[errant osprey]

And on a pessimistic note, this DLC will be released in May
This is my final opinion
The trailer will probably be released in late March
And we will see a teaser and new images in a week or two
Maybe my calculations are wrong

[neon perch]

Link please?

[tidal crane]

What’s your favourite shield enchantment? Mine’s the turret.

[solar spoke]

This will either make or break my Wednesday

[frail bloom]

Meathook but instead of pulling you, you pull fodder and dazed heavies and when you parry/melee(don't know which one) at the right time, they act as projectiles

The power of the projectile scales with enemy size

I just woke up

[heady trout]

this is basically the funny kick ragdoll away but it actually deals damage

I love how in both Eternal and Dark Ages punches can just shoot enemies corpses like footballs, especially Cacodemons in Eternal

[frail bloom]

Yup basically

[hearty edge]

to be fair tag 1 and 2 were half the campaign of doom eternal

still with how much content they're promising it's still insane

[green estuary]

if I were a betting man I'd put money on 8 long-ish missions

11 is a bit much and 6 is probably less than what they've got going

[hearty edge]

yea i also shoot for 8

[solid nacelle]

8 is probably the most reasonable and balanced estimate

[frail bloom]

Ya see that Hato

eight

Not eleven, bud

[versed quarry]

Hopium levels critical

[slender night]

And it's a cool callback

[marble tulip]

[marble tulip]

I like Hugo's face

[harsh egret]

I apologize mr id software developer

[versed quarry]

Callback?

[harsh egret]

Thank you for confirming the amount of levels in this upcoming downloadable content

[frail bloom]

Exactly

[slender night]

Original DOOM had 8 mandatory levels per episode

[frail bloom]

Get it right boi

[versed quarry]

Oh yeah

[slender night]

Though I think 5 would be fine too as it'd round up the game to having 27 levels total (which is the same as both DOOM 1 and DOOM 3)

[harsh egret]

Anything less than 7 would just be disappointing imo

[slender night]

What if it's 5 LONG levels

[twilit stone]

10

Nice round number

[frail bloom]

Hurts pacing

[slender night]

They could probably cook anyway

[frail bloom]

I don't mind 5 very long levels but it ain't happening

[twilit stone]

Id hate that

[frail bloom]

Most ppl don't like really long levels

[slender night]

8 is the sweet spot for me

[frail bloom]

So yeah 8

[slender night]

Usually I'm in that crowd but TDA's gameplay is addicting af so I'll take anything long

[twilit stone]

I dont want to spend like 2-3 hours in the same environment, thats my thing

[frail bloom]

I'm conditioned into it by the those long Doom 2 megawads

[twilit stone]

Especially if theyre structured like Siege or Forsaken Plains

[harsh egret]

Idk man hugo said smth about unlocking new areas and traveling back to levels after ur done with the dlc story

[frail bloom]

And

[harsh egret]

Having to go back into long ass levels just to unlock some small areas here and there would be a pain in the ass

[frail bloom]

Oh ye right

[harsh egret]

Let me finish bruv

[frail bloom]

My bad vro

[harsh egret]

So idk how that would work really, unless u can select the checkpoint u load in at or smth

Which u cant in the base game

Otherwise we r supposed to finish the game, then go back and immediately go through the same levels again

I really dont know how they will do it cuz to me it makes no sense without choosing the checkpoint u load in at

[twilit stone]

They'll probably be checkpoints, i mean theyve definitely seen complaints about no fast travel

[harsh egret]

Yet they said it literally causes issues which is why they cant do it

So idk man

[twilit stone]

Wait fr? How could it possibly cause issues. I mean i know almost nothinf about game dev but like, seems simple af to implement to me

[versed quarry]

Wait like they can’t do Eternal-style fast-travel?

[harsh egret]

Hugo explained it on the hebeth stream at some point iirc

Didn't go in depth but it just causes issues for them and its smth they couldn't implement

[twilit stone]

Okay ill look for that later, that is bizarre

[frail bloom]

There's also some video interview with Billy Khan

[versed quarry]

Oh that’s a shame

[harsh egret]

Oh well time to continue un

Died on siege 1 a few days ago and im on siege 1 now so hopefully it goes better now

[wintry forge]

lol I died on Seige 1 my last 2 un runs

[twilit stone]

Be careful on that cliff with the Vagary and Hell Knights

[heady trout]

I died on seige part 2 in my first UN run and gave up, I have shit to do and this takes TIME compared to the UN run in Eternal being way faster

[twilit stone]

I died on my second UN run on like Temple of something something, dumbass fodder caught me off guard whilst dealing with 2 Vagaries

[harsh egret]

the one ruby optional encounter in the beginning fked me last time

hellknight that i thought died jumped on me from behind while fighting a mancubus

[harsh egret]

ye that one luckily isnt a big issue for me but i remember that vagary specifically being not glory strikeable and it just wouldnt die and i died tryina kill it, but that was a while ago on a nightmare run

[twilit stone]

Actually fuck Vagaries in general can i just say, genuinely

[green estuary]

the big tip I have for tda UN in the early game is that shield upgrades take precedence over guns

[harsh egret]

sometimes for sure

[harsh egret]

yep

[wintry forge]

I fell into a large fire and got stuck behind props in a freak incident lmao

[harsh egret]

tho early on i like having pincussion, its a must imo

[wintry forge]

Trying to get the gold cache near the secret key

[twilit stone]

[harsh egret]

yikes

[obsidian shard]

I rewatched the whole stream last night and this did not happen

[slender night]

Welcome back Hexen

[obsidian shard]

Also morning guys

[harsh egret]

yoyo sneaky

[frosty roost]

nobody literally said anything about that lol

[frosty roost]

hiya jay hiya hato, great seeing the two GOATS in here ❤️

[obsidian shard]

I've seen a comment on YouTube
Comments on Reddit
And now here

Bruhhhhhhh

[frosty roost]

it's fucking ridiculous like come onnnnnn

[obsidian shard]

How are you feeling?

[iron cedar]

Damn. Well then i guess next year

[harsh egret]

bro what 😭

[obsidian shard]

DLC is confirmed to come out in 2026

That's it tho

[frosty roost]

yeah a little bit better, cold's slowly starting to go but i still got the sniffles and coughs. tryna stay strong before re9!

[harsh egret]

if it doesnt come out next week = wont come out this year apparently 😭

[iron cedar]

Well technically speaking if they confirmed it would be in 2026 in 2025 then it is confirm to come out the next year

But were already the next year

[harsh egret]

yes?

[iron cedar]

Let's hope it won't be a 2 parts DLC that ends with a cliffhanger

Like tag1

[harsh egret]

its just 1

[iron cedar]

Was it said?

[frosty roost]

it's 1 full dlc, not 2 separate ones like tag

[harsh egret]

yes.

[obsidian shard]

You got this fam 🫂

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[frosty roost]

thank you king, appreciate you as always!

[marble tulip]

Lies

The DLC will be released in January 2027, as Hugo Martin himself stated yesterday, so it will definitely be released in 2029.

[iron cedar]

Thank god. I do not want another cliffhanger like 'ahh slayer actually davoth is you!'

[flat elm]

He's Instagram account. Unfortnatly VEGA doesn't allow to send IG Links

[obsidian shard]

You too as always GOAT

[harsh egret]

instead u will get a cliffhanger and have to wait 3-4 years until the next game

[obsidian shard]

Those other ones were so freaking rad but I understand why they didn't make the cut, a little bit too much imp

[elder raven]

https://tenor.com/view/snatchedup-snatched-bag-over-head-funny-kidnap-gif-15980566315626205368

[marble tulip]

Absolutely

[twilit stone]

Yay

[obsidian shard]

Hi Phillip and Girlyband

[slender night]

It's an interesting cliffhanger at least

TAG 2 had the most uninteresting cliffhanger I've ever seen

"Oh cool they've written themselves into a hole"

[twilit stone]

It needed to end at some point

[slender night]

This was not that point

[iron cedar]

I replayed that first serrat mission and realizing the lost potential with this stuff. Even the atlan, the game is great but damn you Bethesda, i wanted to rip and tear huge demons with a spear, not a huge minigun that you can use for like 30 seconds

[harsh egret]

bethesda did not develop this game sir

[iron cedar]

Ik

Just like to say 'damn you Bethesda'.
Sounds better then the actual team name

[twilit stone]

I think it was

[slender night]

After how underwhelming TAG 2 was overall, I don't think so >.>
But that's for another channel

[twilit stone]

Fair, i have more thoughts on that

[iron cedar]

I hope they add more atlan levels for the DLC.
(And i don't hope for anymore serrat level for obvious reasons)

[obsidian shard]

Serrat is dead

[iron cedar]

Yeah

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/lewissaunderson38-lewissaunderson-cry-crying-cry-meme-gif-11499408157122608476

[twilit stone]

Thank god

[iron cedar]

I mean. Unless it's a prequel to the events of dark ages but it wouldn't make any damn sense

[slender night]

If they reveal Serrat to be the Maledict I will actually seethe

[harsh egret]

bruh my game just crashed on the first siege 1 fight

[obsidian shard]

Peam

[harsh egret]

hasnt crashed in like 4 months

[twilit stone]

They wouldnt do that lol.. right?

Right?

[iron cedar]

Maybe we will have special levels riding Daisy like a damn pinky rider!

[harsh egret]

Daisy Jockey

[slender night]

Some people would somehow consider that cinema

[iron cedar]

Absolute doom

[iron cedar]

[versed quarry]

Nevervember 32nd 2069

[twilit stone]

Nah 2067

[iron cedar]

But like seriously, what 'important role' could Daisy have?
It's most probably a flash back but still.

[twilit stone]

Maybe she'll appear in all the levels as an easter egg like in Eternal

[iron cedar]

Nah they said litteraly she will have a bigger role then in eternal

What bigger role?

Will she show the slayer the Jedi ways of the platforming?

[slender night]

They will add her into a level dedicated entirely to explaining why my viewpoint on Daisy is true and correct (no bias whatsoever)

[twilit stone]

Uhhh she'll have a scene as a ghost like in the Lion King

[iron cedar]

Imagine Daisy in the Sky looking down at the slayer and in a really ahh deep voice says 'rip and tear, until it's done'

[twilit stone]

Peak

[harsh egret]

I mean Hugo leaked on stream when Josh was gone that we will get to play as Daisy

[obsidian shard]

I don't care what people think of the dragon, I JUST WANT SOME BLOODY MERCH OF IT

[fleet spruce]

my bet is a hell on earth flashback
(woo a chance to see classic Doom in HD)

[twilit stone]

Okaybuddy

[harsh egret]

Im not lyin' u know

[twilit stone]

Theres no way

[iron cedar]

If they do a classic doom flashback then i DEMAND a skin

[twilit stone]

Im waiting for the punchline

[obsidian shard]

Hugo did say that

[slender night]

And make it look good (cough cough Eternal)

[slender night]

In response to this ^

[iron cedar]

Your jocking right?

[harsh egret]

chicken jocking

[twilit stone]

It looks so WEIRD in Eternal yeah

[iron cedar]

Will it be like Mary Jane ahh side missions iin spider man?

[hearty edge]

wait what

[harsh egret]

hm?

[twilit stone]

Theres actually no way bro

[hearty edge]

i actually like it

[obsidian shard]

Im not, Hugo did say that

Obviously he was joking tho lol

[versed quarry]

“In HD” and it’s actually just one of the levels from 2 with no changes.

[harsh egret]

wait he was joking? pfff.....

[iron cedar]

What if he wasn't?

[harsh egret]

damnit man....

[slender night]

It's in HD (meaning it runs at 1080p which is a quality true as of like 2012)

[iron cedar]

What if were gonna play as Daisy wieldin the cruciable

[twilit stone]

Okay lowkey playing as her in a flashback scene of the earth invasion of doom ii would actuallt be kinda horrific

I fwt

[harsh egret]

hugo brainstorming new lore ideas while drunk be like

[slender night]

What would you even do tho

Run through a field and die

[twilit stone]

Thats all of nudoom lore

[hearty edge]

it ends with the demons impaling her and then u return to the campaign

[twilit stone]

Thatd actually break my heart

Poor thing

[slender night]

I think it'd be a more effective scene if it ended with when she encountered the demons

[hazy pasture]

Greetings fellas

[iron cedar]

Imagine two imps looking at Daisy and theyre like:
"Oh a rabbit!"

"Let's take her head off and put it on a very big stick"

"Good idea. Im sure it won't have any huge consequences for our race."

[slender night]

I'm the worst person to send that joke to 😭

My take on Daisy's placement in the story is a bit of an unpopular one

[harsh egret]

what is it

[elder raven]

i said this before: i think he slipped up talking about hayden

on davoth i swear

[twilit stone]

She's an overused joke and clearly not the sole reason for the Slayer's rage, but people keep saying it so its the norm

[slender night]

I do not believe she was the ultimate reason for the bloodbath that is every post-UDOOM game

[elder raven]

i mean she isnt lol

[twilit stone]

Duh

[harsh egret]

ur opinion is unpopular but its right

so who cares really

[fleet spruce]

the daisy meme grown too big

[slender night]

I never said I was wrong, I said it's unpopular, which it is :p

[twilit stone]

I mean its funny as a joke

[harsh egret]

overused joke

[slender night]

I like E4 of DOOM being a rage-induced attack on the demons due to Daisy but nothing past that

[hearty edge]

the dude had a whole family and the demons took over his hometown like shi

[twilit stone]

But her role is that she's a symbol of innocence being snuffed out by evil for no reason. Thats it

[slender night]

I like her as a symbol of their atrocities and not as like the entire thing

[frail bloom]

Hmm ok but does Hugo know that

[fleet spruce]

Oh man i remember few very funny convos about daisy before...

[frail bloom]

There's a slight chance he goes ooga booga mode and overblows her significance without showing the other factors

[slender night]

They already didn't appeal to the masses by allowing the Slayer to actually take losses throughout TDA so I am confident they will do Daisy justice

[frail bloom]

Take losses throughout tda? Sorry wdym

People wanted characters to die?

[twilit stone]

He got knocked over a couple times

[frail bloom]

In their introductory game??

[frail bloom]

Oh ok I read it wrong

He did get knocked over a few times, and also died

Stabbed

[slender night]

I didn't really like Eternal doing this so I am glad they went back on TDA and allowed it to have him lose a few times

[harsh egret]

oops wrong link

[twilit stone]

Oh and the dragon died or smth i dunno, what was his name again?

[harsh egret]

[slender night]

What dragon?

[harsh egret]

my most hated demon to fight is the vagary now

[twilit stone]

Lmao

[frail bloom]

Idk it was like Lemonade or smt

[harsh egret]

i just cant with this shit

[frail bloom]

Smt smt Serenity

[slender night]

This has always been the case for me

[twilit stone]

I cant tell if ur joking or not lmao

[frail bloom]

Idk

[slender night]

But I also at the same time love to fight it

[frosty roost]

which one's that one?

[frail bloom]

Funny, it's one of my favs

[harsh egret]

this happening on UN is just fked man xd

[frail bloom]

I love fighting him

[slender night]

No, I do not recall there being a single dragon throughout TDA, what are you talking about?
-# yea I'm kidding

[harsh egret]

right after i talk about this bug

[twilit stone]

I TOLD U

[frail bloom]

And I'm the only one who loves fighting him apparently

[harsh egret]

siege 1 the one on the other edge of the map

[slender night]

Damn Hato you have a miniscule HUD

[frosty roost]

oh that's the spider demon right? yeah hate fighting that guy

[twilit stone]

He looks cool at least

[slender night]

The spider demon? Whoever made that name is a mastermind

[frail bloom]

Very cool

I love parrying him

[twilit stone]

VERY COOL

[harsh egret]

looks like that mainly cuz i have it pushed outwards a bit, but ye 0.8 scale

[frosty roost]

anome... listen..

[frail bloom]

Breaking all his armor pieces

[slender night]

Welcome back Icon of Sin

[twilit stone]

I mean what

[frosty roost]

???? i saw that dimspree

[twilit stone]

Oh yeah Vagaries are fun to fight guys

[frail bloom]

My only problem is his vagary spit, kinda uneeded

[slender night]

That was not the wind

[twilit stone]

https://tenor.com/view/penguin-hide-you-didnt-see-anything-penguins-of-madagascar-gif-15123878

lmfaooo

[harsh egret]

yeah especially when i glory strike it and instead of killing it, it breaks off the armor pieces :)))

[frail bloom]

Ye and his daze state is pretty buggy

But he's fun to fight 🙂

Why did it do that

: )

There

[harsh egret]

: - )

[slender night]

No nose

Emoticons with noses are evil

[harsh egret]

🙁

wtf i did it with nose now and it turned into normal emoji

[versed quarry]

I like fighting vagaries

[frail bloom]

A believer

[harsh egret]

i just want them to not be buggy

[frail bloom]

Finally

[twilit stone]

IM A BELIEVER

[frail bloom]

I mean me too

[frail bloom]

Too late sir

[harsh egret]

cuz i go in to finish it while in the goo and it can kill me cuz i dont get the health back after killing it cuz it doesnt die

but i go in thinking it will die : - )

[fleet spruce]

vagary in sentinel barracks took my first 5 deaths in the campaign

[frail bloom]

Honestly I could fight 5 vagaries

[fleet spruce]

pretty much trivialised after you get better gear tho

[frail bloom]

I hope they allow you to customize enemy count for the ripatorium more

Speaking of the ripatorium

Day 9 of asking for maykr drones and lost souls in the ripatorium

I. Will. Never. Stop.
Until I know the answer

[twilit stone]

Maykr drones i get, Lost Souls would be a nothingburger addition

[frail bloom]

You a nothing burger addition

Howzabout that

[twilit stone]

I know

https://tenor.com/view/blade-runner-2049-gif-7993237219332977809

[frail bloom]

Damn

Anyways

I think with how they're customizing how enemies spawn in more, they'd be possible

Their entire purpose is to throw you off

So if you have, say 6, and there's also stone imps and chaingunners pelting you, it's gonna be harder then one may think

And also also, I wanna make a classic doom preset so I need those lost souls asap

Or whenever it's ready

[errant osprey]

I still don't understand what they want to do about this.
Can you explain?

[frail bloom]

Well from what I understand, right now respawns have a few seconds before enemies respawn again so they wanna customize the time spent between a wave? I don't know if it extends to rounds, but it seems like they're trying to expand how enemies spawn so I hope they continue to iron out some more stuff

[errant osprey]

This could be really interesting
and it could be a lot more customizable
I feel like since Riptarium 3.0 is releasing at the same time as the DLC, we will see the addition of DLC demons and an increase in the demon selection per round
maybe it will reach 80

[frail bloom]

No it won't be more than 60, that's the enemy limit, but you might see more enemy customization count within each specific enemy

[errant osprey]

I would like it to be more than 60
Since new demons are going to be added, 60 might be too few
Between 70 and 80 would be good

[frail bloom]

That's not possible, for reference Eternal only had 32 as its limit

60 is more than enough

I think what we need is more enemy customization count within each specific enemy

[errant osprey]

70 is better

[frail bloom]

Ppl don't realize how much 60 is bc it's spent on fodder most of the time

[frail bloom]

And also not possible

[errant osprey]

What do you mean?

[frail bloom]

So like, rn you can only have 6 imp stalkers right

What if I wanted 30, or 60?

I want to be able to choose the specific amt of what I want

[errant osprey]

Most of the demons in the Reptarium are made up of fodder demon classes. If we are going to increase the variety of demons, adding to the demon selection limit is a good option.

[frail bloom]

I don't think you understand

It's 60 bc that is how much the engine can handle

Not bc they set it as 60

[errant osprey]

This could be cool but I don't think it will work
There are also size issues
Imagine if you had 60 cosmic rbarons to choose from

[frail bloom]

Ofc it can scale to different enemies

60 imp stalkers but maybe only 10 cyberdemons

Or 10 barons

It's really not that hard to figure out

But what is not feasible

Is actually increasing the enemy amt limitation, otherwise your game will crash

[errant osprey]

Well, I don't exactly understand
Why does the game crash when the limit is increased?
Is it because of the pressure on the engine or not?

[frail bloom]

Yes dude. For example, in 2016 it never went past like 14 enemies. In Eternal it never went past 31-32, in Tda it can't go past 60

And imo, after only having 32 enemies in the last one, 60 is more than enough

And judging but pattern, we might be able to fight 100+ in the next game

[errant osprey]

Interesting.

[frail bloom]

So in my opinion, the best they can do is allow you to customize what type of enemy you want in greater numbers

If I want 60 imp stalkers, I want em

If I want 60 imps, I want em

If I want 30 mancs, I want em

[errant osprey]

But this idea of ​​customization for each demon could be interesting. For example, I really enjoy fighting Battle Knights, but I can only fight 6 of them at a time, and 3 of them are leaders. But it would be interesting if there were more.

[frail bloom]

Exactly

That would be much more feasible and possible

And would make encounters feel more fresh bc rn they kinda blend in together

So my theory, and this is what I hope, is that they're releasing 3.0 when the dlc releases bc they'll not only add the dlc stuff, but add new maps, missing enemies, more maps, more round and enemy customization

[slender night]

Add new maps and more maps 🗣️

[errant osprey]

But I mostly want new maps in the Reptarium.
Also, adding DLC ​​demons would make it much better.
I also had another idea, for example, to be able to move between maps between each round.
But overall, I personally like the master levels more, I hope they are added to the game.

[frail bloom]

I mean yeah that's most likely happening

But I'm hoping it's far away bc they're adding as they go, like taking suggestions

Apparently sharing presets will also be easier?

So they're taking feedback

[warm ibex]

Sorry for the late response, but the 30% of content was stated to become accessible after you complete the DLC campaign. I would assume this means you will be given some form of key or ability that allows you to access areas that were previously closed. What will those areas hold? who knows

[errant osprey]

But Riptarium is supposed to be released at the same time as the DLC, so maybe the DLC demons will already be added to the Riptarium settings
Maybe they'll leave it for Riptarium 4.0
Although I don't think we'll see much change in this area and I feel like this will be the last update for Riptarium

[frail bloom]

How are you typing this fast

Holy

[errant osprey]

Maybe a secret ending.

[frail bloom]

Well since we're speculating the dlc to release in May, that's like 3 months away, and it's been almost 3 months since 2.0's release, so that would give them a lot of time to add new maps, incorporate all the new and missing enemies and add some more customization options

I think it will be the final update but I could be wrong

[errant osprey]

I also would like the DLC to introduce more air demons.
Like pain elementals and a new type of demon
Since the game is mostly on the ground, these types of demons can put more pressure on the player.

[frail bloom]

I'd say a Pain Elemental and that's abt it

[hazy pasture]

D64 one at that

[frail bloom]

Maybe they could reintroduce the gargoyle and have it fly more

Like where is the gargoyle broski

[hazy pasture]

Imagine beefed up gargoyles

Would be interesting

[green estuary]

Gone, because they’re miserable pieces of shite

[frail bloom]

I hope they spit their acid at you specifically

[warm ibex]

I'd like them more if they didn't actively run away from you

[errant osprey]

I made this comment above
I feel like the DLC will be released in two months.

According to my calculations, it has been about 3 months since the last update of the game
Since Riptarium 3.0 is released with DLC and a long time has passed since the last update:
I think we will see the next update in 2 months, which means 5 months from the previous update.
If my guess is correct, we will see the trailer in March and in May

[frail bloom]

You type hella fast

[warm ibex]

very few things got on my nerves in Eternal as much as the Gargoyles did when they were the only ones left in the arena

[green estuary]

It’s not the acid that makes them annoying
It’s the fact that they will melee the fuck out of you for 50 damage a piece

[hazy pasture]

I'll hate them and cursed prowlers for eternity

[green estuary]

And their main melee attack is a three hit combo

[frail bloom]

I'd love them to be reintroduced

[warm ibex]

I'm assuming he's typing out several messages, copying some of them, sending the first then pasting the rest as he goes

[frail bloom]

But have them work differently

[frail bloom]

Efficient

[warm ibex]

I do that sometimes

[versed quarry]

WRONG GIF

[errant osprey]

Since I don't speak English, I give every message to the dictionary to translate it into English.

[frail bloom]

Like the gargoyle could fly more perhaps

And spit magma balls

And those will act as areas of denial

[errant osprey]

I have an idea, but it seems so terrible. I have an idea for a demon that disables the Slayer's shield as long as it's alive, and we need to kill it as soon as possible.

It could also be a kind of fodder, not necessarily a heavy demon.

[obsidian shard]

cursed prowler

[green estuary]

yeah that’s just the cursed prowler lol

[errant osprey]

Yeah, just like cursed prowler but with the ability to disable Slayer's shield. Since the shield is the most important thing in the game, Slayer should kill it quickly.

[warm ibex]

completely disabling the shield is a no go imo

a step across the line between challenge and genuine annoyance. it's already frustrating when you miss a shield throw and it won't let you call it back to parry/block lol

[versed quarry]

shield gets disabled
can’t block anything
dies
UN run ends
punch a hole through my monitor

[errant osprey]

My idea was for this demon to be a fodder demon that could disable the shield for a short period of time with its own black magic

not necessarily for as long as it was alive

If its dash ability made it easier to dodge projectiles, I think this idea could be implemented.

Although it makes the game more difficult, as Horde says, it makes the community, including myself, nervous. Lol

But most of all, I'm curious to see what they're going to do with Archville. Since the Acolytes act a bit like them, I'd like to see how they design Archville in terms of gameplay.

[frail bloom]

It's a no brainer really

Rez dead enemies, parry your projectile, standard fire projectile stuff, classic archvile hitscan attack

Or smt else entirely

[errant osprey]

Maybe like the classic versions of raising dead demons.

[frail bloom]

All I hope, is that he's fun to fight, and he's menacing to face

And Eternal's Archie fits none of those lmao

[errant osprey]

Yeah, I'd like it to be like that too
Something like fighting Cyberdemon, though different
Fighting super heavy demons was really enjoyable in this game

[frail bloom]

Ye really feels like a brawl

And not an afterthought

[errant osprey]

Is the update to Cyberdemon using his wings also going to be implemented in the Reptarium 3.0 update?

[frail bloom]

Oh we have no clue

[heady trout]

didnt the corrax say azhrak remove their ability to fly or something?

[frail bloom]

They're flapping their wings to push the player, not fly

[heady trout]

ohh got it

[tidal crane]

It straight said that Azhrak was such a bitch that he cut the tendons of the cyberdemons. So now they just kinda walk around.

[errant osprey]

I would really like to see how they turn out.

[hearty edge]

i've lost hord mode extra rounds due to time because of em

[warm ibex]

I've used bfg rounds on single gargoyles before

[fleet spruce]

wonder how different Dark Ages would have been if they went with power metal cause it's associated with fantasy

[tidal crane]

That was a close call! (Eternal achievement reference)

[warm ibex]

if they go in a high fantasy direction with TDA's sequel (like I'm kinda hoping) then they may go with power metal

[frail bloom]

Power metal?

[fleet spruce]

sky is the limit

[marble tulip]

Ahzrak saw that his cacodemons could devour planets or universes, he didn't care, but as soon as he saw his cyberdemons, "Cut that shit, they scare me"

[warm ibex]

im not qualified to explain what power metal is, unfortunately. it's just a different branch of metal music. like heavy metal, death metal, etc.

[obsidian shard]

ITS PEAK

[frail bloom]

Is there any examples?

[obsidian shard]

Dragonforce and Sabaton

[marble tulip]

I think they're songs with lyrics about characters who are on an epic adventure or something

[thin hound]

What if there are no lyrics?

[obsidian shard]

Personal fav is Dio

[frail bloom]

Hm lyrics huh

[warm ibex]

dragonforce is the only powermetal band I know by name

[frail bloom]

Well well well

Lyrics in cutscenes maybe

Idk abt gameplay

[fleet spruce]

https://youtu.be/VyPD1Uex2Zc?si=MJLIrmdwaiE2vb1O

not western but should be enough to give idea

[obsidian shard]

Pantera's First few Albums was Power MEtal

[warm ibex]

you know that shits about to hit when you can't read the paragraph of text on the album art

[fading osprey]

Same here

[heady trout]

Azhrak is bitch made to the teeth, but hey at least thats realistic when hes supposed to be facing the Slayer, the best strat against him might legit be just to be bitch made

[marble tulip]

DIO?
https://tenor.com/blGRc.gif

[hearty edge]

beat me to it

[marble tulip]

[obsidian shard]

Sir Ronnie James Dio

[frail bloom]

Hm

[fleet spruce]

it sounds powerful , i love it

[grim cloud]

only saw about 15 minutes of the stream, anything i missed?

[warm ibex]

@grim cloud here's the notes

[grim cloud]

great thanks ... bringing back Dash? maybe its a charge attack or something

[warm ibex]

spear dash is the working theory

[grim cloud]

yah that is what i see too

Ripatorium still needs to add the oversear class or whatever they are called. I wish they added full on custom waves. Such as spawning certain monsters when you kill X, you know what i mean

[warm ibex]

that would be sick

might be too complicated to implement though, I dunno

[tidal crane]

Azhrak got saved by his side piece twice 🥀

[heady trout]

he talks shit when the Slayer isnt there but when hes looming Azhrak always looks towards the witch on some ''REF DO SOMETHING''

[tidal crane]

Bro was first tried by me 🪦. Here lies Assrack, died of bein’ a bitch.

[hearty edge]

the whole rest of the reckoning is harder than asscrack imo

[tidal crane]

Mine died to combat shotgun smelt+Mastery+triple shot per trigger press. Deadass printing armour, but eats ammo quick, so stay on that.

[hearty edge]

impaler is ggez win

sum headshots nd u get back ur dreadmace then rinse and repeat

[errant osprey]

I would really like to see how they pull it off in the game. The spear idea is really cool.

[elder raven]

im sure we’ll see on Wednesday when all is revealed

[tidal crane]

Wednesday is bold…that means the announcement is last Thursday! (Me am veby smarp!!1)

[warm ibex]

you guys aren't ready for my next dlc theory

[tidal crane]

That the dlc contains MORE playable content?!

[warm ibex]

you could say that...

[hearty edge]

wheres the theory

[fleet spruce]

no , it will obviously contain more DOWNLOADABLE content

[elder raven]

https://tenor.com/view/lou-tenant-lieutenant-fallout-fallout-1-fallout-super-mutant-gif-5954397633907152973

[thin hound]

I think we’re getting a March release date

[cobalt fog]

For the dlc?

[thin hound]

Yep

I hope

[cobalt fog]

I doubt it, they have stated this things far from done

I think a good assumption would be a trailer by then tho

[errant osprey]

My idea is that the trailer will be released in March and we will see the DLC released in April or early May.

[harsh egret]

if anything it sounds like its closer than you'd think

maybe not march but i think april-may is more and more likely

[warm ibex]

I'd assume that april is the absolute earliest, but wouldn't bet on it ofc. After giving it some thought following last night's stream I do think that May is still more likely, especially considering how it seems like the dlc is further along than we thought

[errant osprey]

In the best of circumstances April
In the worst of circumstances May

[south oxide]

Aint no way the kreed is so lazy in the 1st phase of the boss fight

Bro was facing the doom slayer and was still sitting on his flying chair

[frail bloom]

I'd say best circumstance is May lmao

Or actually, June

It would be the Summer

[warm ibex]

worst of circumstance is certainly not may lol

[frail bloom]

Worst circumstance would be March bc what the heck happened

[warm ibex]

worst circumstance would be next week

which is also technically march

[frail bloom]

Ye anything too early raises an eyebrow

[errant osprey]

You're right
The conditions will be ideal
If I were to be very pessimistic, I would say the worst conditions are in August.

[frail bloom]

I mean not really

It's still Summer

If it's September then I'm swamped

Same with May which is why I'm actually fine with June

[cobalt fog]

I think it will launch around June or July honestly

[errant osprey]

Summer seems too late to me
I hope it comes in May

[frail bloom]

Why tho

Why is it too late it seems perfect

[cobalt fog]

We haven’t even got a teaser or anything that’s why I think we are getting it like late

[frail bloom]

All the adults have work to do in the summer anyway and all the teens are off school

Like mwah

[errant osprey]

Personally, I'd be happy if it was released
I think summer is a bit late
But considering that Riptarium 3.0 is being released with DLC, I'd say it'll come eventually

[frail bloom]

May's fine by me but June-July is like much better imo

[errant osprey]

No, May is better lol.

[frail bloom]

In my opinion vro

[errant osprey]

I know bro.
I was kidding
I hope we enjoy it whenever it comes

[wooden lily]

I have this unresolved issue - is that in game difficulty or whats going on - I have max HP 170 with all health upgrades and 130 for armor with all upgrades

I watched some speedruns and all of them have 200 hp and 150 armor

[obsidian shard]

Its just a Bug, Best to try a new run perhaps?
Or you never got all Upgrades (Menu is LYING)

[wooden lily]

I got, even got achievments for max health and armor upgrades

i dont know, its weird

[obsidian shard]

ahh then def just the "Not Max HP" Bug

[wooden lily]

hmm never heard about it, but its okay, finally finished the game today on Nightmare.. it was a nice ride.. repeated last level twice from beginning till the end

[tidal crane]

Finally beat doom the dark ages. Beat chapter 22. Killed Asscrack via a BFC shot, appropriately said “EAT SHIT” as it connected, then went in for the glory kill.

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/doomguy-slayer-doom-slayer-doomslayer-prince-ahzrak-gif-5009736102270775728

[hearty edge]

i never thought of that

[green estuary]

Bosses take heavily reduced damage from the bfc anyways
So it’s mostly just a waste of ammo and a big risk because you also lose your shield

[tidal crane]

But funny

[obsidian shard]

true

[tidal crane]

Even then, without his bitch, the guy is WEAK. 🪦

[obsidian shard]

He is cool tho lol

Enhanced Ahzrak, is a Formidable foe however

[tidal crane]

Bro’s looking like a wholeass yugioh card 💀

[tidal crane]

Enhanced was genuinely a bit difficult. I almost died that time.

[harsh egret]

my un run ended on ancestral forge

new pr i guess

[obsidian shard]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-7560275565266243199

[obsidian shard]

you got the next run in the bag

[solar spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/do-do-not-no-try-yoda-gif-13593807

You can do it, Yoda has spoken

[green estuary]

It do be like that
Ancestral forge can get really spicy
Which combat did you die on

[harsh egret]

the one with the cyberdemon at the end of it

[green estuary]

I just got my 2016 UN run, you can definitely get TDA done

[harsh egret]

the cyberdemon got me

[green estuary]

Oof
Hardest one in the level tbh

[harsh egret]

i think at least, alot of shit was shooting me

[green estuary]

Except maybe the one with the nightmare imps and the Agaddon at the end

[green estuary]

Cyberdemons are insane in this game

The glowup from eternal is crazy

[harsh egret]

yep

i'll just go again tomorrow or smth

feels like im doing better and better with each run more or less

it was scary on aratum when the barrels on some of the ships just explode u through the walls if u do a heavy landing

almost died there randomly, happened to me before on normal nightmare and i hate that its a thing

[green estuary]

That was my favorite part of TDA ultra nightmare
The difficulty ramps up more smoothly so instead of getting stuck in the first 3 levels like 2016 or eternal you actually feel like you’re making progress

[gilded summit]

Can't wait for the DLC. I wonder what the general story. But I hope it is on gamepass.

[warm ibex]

dlc isn't usually added to gamepass (unless something changed)

[gilded summit]

[warm ibex]

lol

[errant osprey]

@warm ibex
Horde mode was really hard Arachnophobia.
I finally managed to beat it, but not on Nightmare, but on Ultra Violence.
It was very challenging.

[scenic lichen]

On what sliders?

Curious because I’m yet to attempt UN

Yet I still cannot decide on sliders that feel hard but not insane

[harsh egret]

default UN but 110% game speed and lowest parry window

[scenic lichen]

I’m super torn on max projectile speed

I’m fine with it on some enemies but fence projectiles on fodder enemies become horrendous

[green estuary]

Max projectile speed isn’t particularly balanced in this game

Especially with all the tracking

[harsh egret]

yeah no fk that

[scenic lichen]

yeah after doing like 2 playthroughs with it its not

agaddon hunter slash projectiles become the stupidest shit ive ever seen

almost undodgeable

[frail bloom]

Ok I know the next three presets

Waltz of the Archdemons
Doom Timeline
Ahzrak's Abyss

Those are the next official 3

[harsh egret]

i remember kroniid said they would do 6 community made ones instead of 3 community ones+3 made by him

[frail bloom]

Oh really?

[harsh egret]

but yeah josh mentioned it on stream and said waltz wasnt in the game "yet" so congrats!

[frail bloom]

Well that would be easier

[harsh egret]

it was back when they first put out the first 3 tho so i have no idea if they changed their mind or smth

its been months

[frail bloom]

It would be easier for them tho

There's sooo many no need to make one themselves

[obsidian shard]

Hmmm

Your missing one, but i wont be the one to say

[frail bloom]

Huh?

Ig I'll keep looking

[obsidian shard]

Josh never commented on the Pre-set...

All I'm saying

[frail bloom]

Well Ahzrak's Abyss right?

He never commented

[obsidian shard]

You Never know.... Gonna keep you surprised

[frail bloom]

Oh nvm

It's Escalation of Pain Cosmopocalypse

That makes 4

Wait

Challenge of Bajookie too?

Damn congrats now it's 5

Ok one more then

[harsh egret]

isnt it in the game already

[frail bloom]

No this is a new one

[obsidian shard]

perhaps different ones or more

[harsh egret]

they played the one thats in game

[frail bloom]

Spectral makes a couple of them that have the same name but different subname

[harsh egret]

yh but hugo played the in game one

[frail bloom]

We have 5 confirmed ones so far

[frail bloom]

He played the one that's just called Escalation of Pain

Look at Spectral's posts

[harsh egret]

yh, josh said they are playing his preset

and they played the one thats in game but commented on a different one

[frail bloom]

So they commented abt this new one?

[harsh egret]

josh commented on the wrong one saying they are playing it, but they played the in game one

idk if maybe he got them confused perhaps

[frail bloom]

Lol

Well we have some variety, there is one left tho

I wonder what preset they'll pick for 6

[obsidian shard]

maybe theirs 7

6 or 7

[warm ibex]

hey good job man! it was tested with UV in mind, I didn't bother balancing it for nightmare. so don't worry about not beating it on a higher difficulty lol

[errant osprey]

It was a great challenge
But one of the rounds seemed really hard to me (I think it was the third round) but overall it was enjoyable
No matter what I tried on Nightmare I couldn't do it

[plush oracle]

I got it

Finally.

X · Feb 20, 2026, 10:58 PM

that gif funny lol

[plush oracle]

Nah i don't like him.

Who would? I know who would. Demons. And demon worshippers

NGL. I don't like that the Kreed Makyr is a fat slob.

[fading bone]

it fits his personality very well

being a spoiled recently appointed easily manipulated idiot

gives him the spoiled attention seeking bully kid vibe

[plush oracle]

Oh for Christs sake

I just got this damn game and now i'm being controled by a rich spoiled brat?

[alpine pilot]

Where doom

[fading bone]

oh you havent finished the game yet?

[plush oracle]

I just started lmao

I just finished the first mech battle.

Spoilers in case Cairo Austin Lee hasn’t gotten to it yet

||Would the dragon sections play better if it was like Ace Combat instead? I expected to have some strafing runs into hordes at mach Romero.||

I wonder, if it also the case with standard and mortar variants?

[errant osprey]

Last night I sat down and completely played Riptarium
I am starting to like this part.
Some priests are really attractive.
Priest Horde mod was challenging and hard
I also liked Priest Zexxy very much

[vague dew]

[harsh egret]

"The dlc will release on a day that ends with day"

[frail bloom]

Wait a minute

[split gate]

But a day ends with a night

[fleet spruce]

the DLC will in fact release on a release date

and date is whispered by a tree in Forsaken Plains

[wintry forge]

Ends with night? Nite? Fortnite? Fortnite x doom tda?

[split gate]

Doomslayer? Isn’t he the guy from Fortnite

[wintry forge]

Nah you’re thinking of Master Chief from Fortnite

Cant believe Master Chief’s debut was in a Halo clone called Doom or something

[slender night]

What??? Doomslayer the guy from Fortnite??? You're being crazy, kids these days saying he's from Fortnite when he's obviously the guy from Quake III, smh smh

[wintry forge]

Again, that’s Master Chief!!

Master Chief even returned in Quake Champions, wake up you guys

[tribal hamlet]

What makes you so confident about this?

[covert goblet]

I will never get over how badass the fight against enchanced Azhrak is.
The 3rd phase is just... holy fuck is it satisfying.

Yessir!! What difficulty did you master it on?

Howdy Big I

[wintry forge]

Yeah fr, can’t believe they ripped off Chief smh

[hazy pasture]

Peam

[idle swallow]

I initially played it on ultra-violence but then found it a bit too difficult, thus I played the rest of it on hurt me plenty

[fading bone]

god i love TDA

Billions must love TDA
