the-dark-ages

[ancient atlas]

you will take him down and do damage to others at the same time

[scarlet dirge]

Ok noted I guess

[ancient atlas]

if he fires his energetic attacks just move and kill someone other

he's a problem but a good problem in fun way

[heady trout]

said nobody

[ancient atlas]

nah blood makyrs are annoying af you can't kill them most of the time when you moving around and you can kill it only in one way

[heady trout]

lowk the dark ages cacodemon might be one of the worst demons in doom history purely bc of that wall attack

you have to literally move away, ignore it for a second and then come back

at least the blood makyr had methods of baiting them out of their invulnerability faster

[ancient atlas]

how then?

[heady trout]

you could dash closely towards them, they try to melee and you dash back, this basically ensures their next attack will be the opening one

and what's more, unlike the TDA Cacodemon, he's completely nonthreatening when invulnerabile

you can basically ignore him if you keep him in your line of sight until he loses invulnerability, and if you lose the line of sight he will make a loud distinct noise to warn you he's going to fire

unlike the TDA Cacodemon that genuinely negates an entire area for no reason, for a long period of time and to top it all off is invulnerable while it does the wall attack

[ancient atlas]

in the end of city of ry'uul lvl you can kill very quickly even if he shoots walls at you

soldiers with energetic shields

[heady trout]

your missing the point, it's the fact that he can do that wall attack at all that puts him in a lower tier

it's so boring, annoying and time wasting

when he's only doing the parry-able attack thing he's awesome, but the moment he does the stupid wall thing i groan

its kind of how the Komodo is good only when he's using Melee, but his fireball gun just brings him down completely

idk why they liked to add an annoying attack to demons and make them less good

[wide siren]

eh, i think it provides a problem quite different from many others by doing exactly what you describe. the wall attack renders an area inaccessible so you have to find your way around it / focus elsewhere. But you can also use the shield and shredder method to do massive area damage of your own with the caco. not my favorite, but one of the worst in any doom is kinda ridiculous

game needs a variety of enemies, all can’t be great 1v1 demons

[frail bloom]

Instead of a wall attack it should have been a spray of purple damaging orbs that move really slowly

Same function but without the invulnerability

And visually more interesting

look how much damage it did to vagari armor lol

[heady trout]

invulnerability is the most annoying part

basically forcing the player to do nothing while it negates an entire area

the blood makyr was invulnerable too yes, but at least he was worthless in that state

[heady trout]

i also use the shredder method to make the caco kill less tunnel-vision-y but the main issue with the wall attack is the fact it forces you to stay there, not damage him for a prolonged period of time

no demon in doom ever has had such a powerful, annoying attack while also just being invulnerable

[wide siren]

doesn’t really force you to stay put though does it? i’m not saying your wrong, the attack is annoying, but i don’t think it’s pointless. and you rarely fight it 1v1 so just focus elsewhere until you can delete it. at least it’s not a bullet sponge

[wide siren]

now this i can get behind. more of a bullet hell type attack

[heady trout]

it's very annoying in DOOM of all games to be told "you can't kill this demon rn" and your forced to take his punishment

its like a fundamental misunderstanding of one of the things that makes Doom real fun

the fact that it isn't tacti shooter slop and you can charge headfirst in many different ways at your enemies and are encouraged to do so instead of constantly taking cover and reloading

"taking cover" In modern Doom should be only in emergencies, not forced upon you by one demon attack

[heady trout]

the leaders in this game almost have this problem but not really bc you're encouraged to kill more to then kill them

the cacodemon doe? Just wait and run away lol

it's almost as bad as the Acolyte forcing you to play hide and seek

[ancient atlas]

acolyte's clone not really hard to find tbh

[heady trout]

who said anything about hard? Its annoying and lame

breaks the flow of combat

same problem the archville had in Eternal

[ancient atlas]

how it's breaks the flow

[wide siren]

think you and a lot of people just have a very different idea of flow

[heady trout]

than yours?

[wide siren]

lmao

[ancient atlas]

[heady trout]

how lucky am I to encounter the only two Acolyte and Cacodemon fans when usually everybody in this chat agrees they suck

[ancient atlas]

i literally send a video where i killed a caco and acolyte in seconds

[heady trout]

if you enjoy them, more power to you, but I advise you talk about this later when more people are online for more discussion

[wide siren]

it’s very black and white for you isn’t it

[heady trout]

i never said you couldn't do that, I can do that, its not relevant to my point

you two need to stop putting words in my mouth lowk

[ancient atlas]

if you can do that then do that

[wide siren]

goes two ways

[ancient atlas]

[heady trout]

okay I see you two aren't arguing in good faith, have a nice day

[ancient atlas]

same to you

it's almost a night for me but anyways

[heady trout]

missing my point entirely by telling me how to kill it fast like I can't already do that myself

[wide siren]

that’s not the point i made, but ok

[heady trout]

my point isn't that I dislike the cacodemon because I can't kill it, it's because when my luck isnt right i have to sit through the slog that is the wall attack

[heady trout]

the problem with discussing in a 1 v 2 is that I have to first answer one persons point and then the other

im answering babaiken

your point was moreso a difference in ideals in regards to flow, which is fine

[green estuary]

It’s entirely dependent on you knowing where they spawn or getting lucky to be right next to them

This isn’t a flex, it’s just RNG

[heady trout]

we can perceive what we define as flow differently and there's no problem with that

but babaiken was literally just spewing some nonsense

Katsu pretty much summed it up

tldr joohyvon you were making a fair point about ur different take on flow and how bad you think the cacodemon is, while the other person was doing whatever

[wide siren]

yeah, i see value in cacodemon as it forces you to react a bit differently than most others, same goes for the acolyte too. not my favorites to fight, but i think they’re good for the game

[heady trout]

I'll have to disagree, but sure

[wide siren]

most heavies and other enemies don’t force anything on you, you’re always proactive. so one or two enemies that make me react to them different, for me, is what makes the combat challenges interesting

but if you dislike that, i get hating them

[ancient atlas]

you don't even need to know when they will spawn. on first video that's the puzzle to make caco stop shooting shield and kill him fast. on second you just make him a first place priority.

i'd agree with acolyte point that you play hide and seek but it's not really kills the flow of the game cause you still moving fast

[echo sail]

Honestly the only troublesome heavy is the acolyte imo

[deft valley]

So far im 21/22 chapters on ultra nightmare my biggest concern is the fight against prince ahzrak i have fought him multiple times before but i couldn't figure if its better to stay close range with the super shotgun or long range with other guns does anyone know which tactic is better i dont want to screw this up.

[neon gust]

I tend to do SSG + Chainshot + Accelerator and cycle through depending on ammo

[heady trout]

close range, impaler, turret are ideal immo

[neon gust]

impaler's not bad at all. I should use it more

[deft valley]

I haven't touched the game since yesterday i aint losing allat progress yk

[neon gust]

man I've been struggling on pandemonium I think you'll be fine

[deft valley]

Dead ass i think bishop creed is litterly the weakest out of all bosses, idk why i find him super easy to defeat

[neon gust]

nah he is genuinely easy to beat tbh

I'd go as far as to say he's the easiest boss in the game

[deft valley]

Ik right idk what it is about blud but he low key sucks ass

[neon gust]

I struggled more against the Champion Vagary

[deft valley]

I mean bruh...just stay away and deflect his attacks

Close range with blud is practically suicide

[neon gust]

I mean yeah it's just that in the mandatory champion vagary encounter in level 4 (I think?) you don't have any heavy weaponry yet

so I tend to just blast him with the accelerator and use the impaler on him when he's down

[deft valley]

Smart thinking right there

For me i despise the komodo champion the most annoying boss ever

Like i get it close range but like daum bro stop tossing me away

[hearty edge]

i died like 10 times to bro on my 1st playtrough

decimated him in no time on the next ones

i didnt understand the power of the plasma accelerator back then

[neon gust]

It's always like that, you need to reach that "I understand it now" moment and you defeat any obstacle in no time

[hearty edge]

the others i'm pretty sure i did defeat first try on my first playtrough

no wait the aggadon was a challenge i forgor

[neon gust]

there aren't many scary champion encounters

[hearty edge]

the komodo was annoying but the easiest one imo

[neon gust]

the Agaddon and the Komodo are some of them though

[deft valley]

Which boss do you guys think is the most obnoxious one cause for me i hate the komodo champion with a passion

[hearty edge]

none tbh

[neon gust]

tbh the Komodo Champion is pretty easy

[hearty edge]

but probably komodo just cuz he's annoying always

[neon gust]

His telegraphs are kinda ass but hey that's the Komodo speaking

[deft valley]

It is that's the point i just hate when he whipps the tail fucking sending me across the map

[neon gust]

I just think it's crazy that this guy somehow has contact damage

[deft valley]

Not to mention that there is a glitch with the menu tab it can send you flying across the map

[hearty edge]

that or kreed just cuz of that yellow spikes attack thing

[scarlet dirge]

Hey guys does anyone know if ground fissure + dreadmace combo for mace spam is still a thing ?

[wanton echo]

[green estuary]

That bug has since been fixed

[hearty edge]

one of the best

[scarlet dirge]

Ah jeez

[hearty edge]

the hell knight reveal is so tuff

[hard thistle]

It’s the Anthem of Mechanical Warfare, and it’s soooooo good. Near the end is a lovely homage to DOOM 64’s theme.

Do we know if Bethesda will be at gdc?

[heady trout]

this thumbnail is true

the Cycler vs Accelerator debate continues

[hearty edge]

spanish ahh laugh

[heady trout]

i will NEVER know which one is better

Accelerators main up over the Cycler is that its the strongest early game weapon you get

[hearty edge]

i just like the accelerator better idk why

[heady trout]

but like lowk in comparison I don't know which is better, its an odd case of "different but also the same"

they always give me similar results

i will say the accelerator is more comfortable than the cycler cause you don't have to kill any heavies to deal more damage

[hearty edge]

where is the gold rubies and upgrades bruh 😭✌️https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1161412575788007574/1477423995509800960/image.png?ex=69a4b5d1&is=69a36451&hm=0b72af7dbfaff096a497f1f9fe6674a33fb1d54ec9062864a54fc5b6245a368d&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=333&height=345

And the spear is just crazy

Plus that triple cosmic realm monster fight without the mech was just perfect

I swear dude the || || was insane

[versed quarry]

The part where he [REDACTED] was the best though.

[carmine harness]

Personally I think that was a bit early, if he did it AFTER the second boss it would have been better

[versed quarry]

Fair point. I still think it worked well enough though.

[carmine harness]

Surely did. Id software just never disappoints man

(REDACTED) (REDACTED) (REDACTED) spear (REDACTED) quickswap (REDACTED) the lost soul blaster (REDACTED) wraith gun

"Listen Doomguy I just thought they had Argent synthesis on the island."

[carmine harness]

[carmine harness]

I’m blocking your access to the dlc. Come to the VEGA terminal, and I’ll give you what you need.

[ashen bobcat]

doom bosses have not been good since og cyberdemon

icon of sin was trash

[carmine harness]

On this entire solar system the bosses in the dlc are great

Icon of sin was fine I think dark lord could have been better

[stone pasture]

Guys, new roblox game that is doom, with some ultrakill and smothered in pizza, video in #videos

[obsidian shard]

Cap

Ahzrak, Gladiator

[willow beacon]

Enhanced ahzrak and the gladiator would like a work with you

[ashen bobcat]

Didn't play The Fart Ages

Gladiator was whateva

[willow beacon]

Gladiator is from eternal

I think it’s fun, doom hunter boss fight is also great

Khan makyr is NOT it and the icon is alright I think

[ashen bobcat]

Khan Makur is awesome

[willow beacon]

Easiest boss of all time

[ashen bobcat]

And gladiator was intense but still worse than her

[willow beacon]

Really?

I gotta disagree

[ashen bobcat]

Yeah i don't like red green light enemies

[willow beacon]

Fair

Awesome atmosphere though

[hard thistle]

Question, is the dlc campaign out yet, bcz it installed whenever I got the deluxe version but I don't see it in the main menu

[fading bone]

no dlc is not out yet

[split gate]

My favourite modern Doom menu theme. Not even a competition against Hellwalker or Eternal’s, WTSFL scratches that itch I had. It has bite

It’s nice seeing people’s favourites here are different, I don’t usually see this for 2016 or Eternal’s osts, usually it’s the same answer

[fading bone]

yeah tda menu theme is so fucking good

[ancient atlas]

in eternal i personally can't choose my fav mick's track

but my fav Levy's track is atlantica

[split gate]

That’s fair, they’re all excellent

[ancient atlas]

Immora and Maligog still slapping af but atlantica is just it

i think david levy's heaviness in soundtrack was perfect for tda looking how massive and heavy tda slayer is. just gotta add medieval notes and it would be perfect

[fleet spruce]

I love both Blood Swamps tracks

[random sand]

I don't think they could've done it any better. It has that medieval feel TDA goes for, it has the heavy metal Doom is known for by now, it feels intense like shit's about to go down in this game. It's simply phenomenal

[fleet spruce]

Trial of Maligog is just magical

[silver pawn]

Does external gpu work for running the game? As long as it's RayTracing capable.

I want to run tda on the laptop

[fleet spruce]

naturally

nope

[scarlet dirge]

Ok thanks

Are there any updated combat guides ? All of the guide are 6+ months old I dont know what is valid and what isnt

[green estuary]

What do you want to know specifically

[elder raven]

katsu is a walking combat guide lol

[frosty pine]

Micks best track: TOTTFIY (boring ik)

Andrews best track: Reclaimed earth

Levy's best track: immora

Fm's best track: into the void

[green estuary]

I still think damnation is mick's best track
uac atlantica is my favorite from david, blood swamps for andrew
and FM is hard to pick, but right now I'd probably say battle on the blackened tide

[slender night]

I love TOTTFIY aside from the intro because it's impossible to listen to anymore

I feel like I'm about to see a shitty TikTok meme after the intro every time I listen to it

[green estuary]

the main riff in that song isn't even my favorite lol

the secondary riff goes way harder imo

https://youtu.be/kpnW68Q8ltc?t=228

[fleet spruce]

BFG Division did this to me

both tracks are super overrated

[frosty pine]

"When the doom music kic-" SHUTT UUUUPPP

[scarlet dirge]

Anything, I just started playing dark ages 30 hours ago and the community ripertorium is kicking my ass so I’m seeking information

[elder raven]

umm… HEAVY METAL? BEGINS PLAYING?

[green estuary]

well
shield throw to clear out fodder constantly, it's your best method of dealing with them
also keep moving constantly; you have the ability to trade blows with big enemies but don't take that as a sign that you can afford to stay in place, because you can't
shield bash into any heavy demon besides a mancubus and pinky falters them
don't feel the need to constantly switch between weapons, but also at the same time don't get too pigeonholed into a particular setup, because switching weapons for different purposes is always a good idea

[scarlet dirge]

Ah I didnt know shieldbash on any enemy was tech, thanks

[green estuary]

yeah shield bash into a high damage single shot weapon like ssg, chainshot, impaler is super strong

[scarlet dirge]

My go for bug targets is parry chainball gun spam for insta charge

I actually haven't played that one yet
I'm taking a bit of a break from the game

[elder raven]

use the shield and toss it at heated + energy soldiers for quick resources

[scarlet dirge]

Pretty challenging, I think I on ultra nightmare but I’m not sure I cant see the dif anywhere, what I know is that if i make 1 mistake its over

[rain glen]

I'm excited for the next dlc. From what I heard we are once again having some reinventing mechanics to attack demons apparently we are also getting a spear now

[heady trout]

this is true, blame the fanbase during the 2016-Eternal period for being ludicrously unfunny

[rain glen]

I want the crucible as well to be a weapon of choice for this basically next game considering the dlc is like a sequel to dark ages

[heady trout]

Micks best track: Impossible to pick

Andrews best track: Blood Swamps

Levy's best track: Immora

Fm's best track: Impossible to pick

[scarlet dirge]

Are we getting a crucible in the dlc ?

[rain glen]

Idk

[frosty pine]

Nu doom gave me my favourite game of all time but as a compromise had to xp take the doom fandom’s humor down with it

[rain glen]

Hopefully

[scarlet dirge]

Ok, I mean he had it before eternal so its not impossible

[obsidian shard]

Probably not
Atm only confirmed thing is a spear, and some new secret weapon

[scarlet dirge]

Nice

[wooden acorn]

The pistol

[meager vortex]

Director Hugo Martin has teased that Doom: The Dark Ages DLC is going to be “huge” and feels closer to a full sequel than a small add on 🔥
Speaking in recent interviews and developer discussions, Martin hinted that the DLC will have:
• A much larger campaign expansion, not a short side story
• New weapons, enemies, and evolved combat systems
• Bigger medieval war set pieces and boss fights
• Designed to feel like a major next step for the franchise
With The Dark Ages already serving as a prequel to Doom and Doom Eternal, it sounds like id Software is planning something much bigger than traditional DLC.

[hearty edge]

sgn for the win

idk what levy composed so uh

andrew it's just bloodswamps for me

and now fm it's infernal chasm (my favorite track ever)

[obsidian shard]

SGN and Meathook so peak

[obsidian shard]

Levy did Immora, The PEAK main Menu theme for TAG, UAC Atlantica

[hearty edge]

probably immora then

[obsidian shard]

Now for FM

Ummm well, the OST....

I find it funny how the general consensus about the OST when it came out was that it wasn't that good but over here we're all like "yeah it's the best thing ever"

Which it is

[obsidian shard]

Howdy Lime

[obsidian shard]

Well Reddit and Twitter is pretty 50/50 from what I've

It's mainly who your asking and where

It's a good OST period, If you don't like that's fine

[elder raven]

twitter is hell a majority of the time

[random sand]

that depends on how you tweak your algorithm. mine is fire. all i see is cool art and funny memes

[versed quarry]

Makes me feel a little scared because last time the DLC was like that it actually just should’ve been a different game.

[tidal crane]

Oh boy! Lucky I got the premium edition when it was cheap.

[obsidian shard]

Well the story stuff shouldve been a different game

Everything else made sense for a DLC

[ancient atlas]

trial of maligog

That is indeed peak

Mixing in game kinda did not so nice to it

this is true

Hi, I'm playing DOOM: The Dark Ages on Linux through the Proton compatibility layer, the game runs with no issues but it is stressing my GPU a lot, do you know if there's any way to cap the max FPS? With Vsync on it is correctly capped at 144, which is what I'm using right now. But if I turn it off and use the setting to cap the FPS to 60 it still goes beyond 200... which isn't optimal. Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm playing the game on Steam btw, so I'm open to edit launch options to achieve this result.

[warm ibex]

limewater...

[obsidian shard]

Is discord Overlay on?

[mental wing]

Discord's Overlay isn't available on Linux, yet

Only thing I have is the Steam FPS thing

[obsidian shard]

Ohh, Apoligies as i may not be much help due to knowing next to nothing about Linux

[mental wing]

No problems

I mean, I'm not sure if it's an OS related problem, but, isn't there any command to limit FPS? I believe in the older DOOM games there was something like that

[real crater]

started another playthrough after like 6 months of not playing and having the time of my life again

[obsidian shard]

I Suggest turning up Music to make it POP Otherwise sound effects are too loud and its drowned out aka "Blends in with the background"

[marble tulip]

exaggeration, poor Hugo, Marty must have given him a terrible scolding for saying that

The latest teaser did go viral

[harsh egret]

hugo is just dropping nukes

[obsidian shard]

All of em linked to my Reddit post lol, (Where the Hato and HORDE mode love at)

[marble tulip]

What do you think about the Slayer's power?

[obsidian shard]

in what way, Like his Abilities/Strength?

[marble tulip]

All

[obsidian shard]

Slayers power i very cool, hope the next doom games/dlc's expand and bring more depth to it

[marble tulip]

Absolutely we will

I mean, they'll do it

Hehe

Genuine question. Which do you like more, Doom(2016) Doom Eternal or Doom The Dark Ages?

[mental wing]

No one? 😔

[midnight valve]

I mean.. you are playing on Linux, that may be your problem

Joking btw

[dark thunder]

neither i fuckin hate doom

[midnight valve]

Yeah whoever plays doom is a nerd

[solar spoke]

are you maybe mistaking the Dynamic resolution scaling feature for a frame rate cap?

[mental wing]

No, there's a setting I don't remember the name of that has only two options, 60 and either 120 or 144, I don't remember

[solar spoke]

ah, that's the screen refresh rate

[mental wing]

Unfortunately I turned my pc off now, I'll see tomorrow

[marble tulip]

The others have many guns, but Dark Ages has fists

So Dark Ages is better

[mental wing]

Might be, do you know if there's a way to cap FPS though?

[solar spoke]

as far as I know, not really. Best method is just to adjust the screen refresh rate and use vsync

[mental wing]

You mean, from a software perspective, OS related, or directly from the monitor settings?

[solar spoke]

in-game and through your screen settings. I don't know enough about Linux to provide much advice on it

[mental wing]

I'll see tomorrow, I just think it's a bit uncomfortable

To rely on that instead of an in-game setting

But yeah, I can do that. I know how to do that I mean, both on the screen settings and on the screen itself

[hearty edge]

tda

[solar cairn]

I think it will stop soon, there is already too much information

Maybe we need pause

[harsh egret]

[heady trout]

Eternal but TDA is somewhat close

[warm ibex]

I like the TDA combat the best but I think 2016 is probably my favorite game overall

[real crater]

im fine with that

with all due respect to finishing move and their soundtrack i play the game to rip and tear

i started a new game on 100% speed and had to make sure it was still there

[solar cairn]

I’m not hinting at anything, but you need to remember May 13

[real crater]

dlc release on the 1st anniversary would be fire

[ancient atlas]

i don't think it'd be like that i think they could show something of it

[twilit stone]

Same

[gray kraken]

I’ve bet the dark ages is it worth buying permanently

[elder raven]

how did you beat it without buying it? do you have game pass?

[obsidian shard]

def

[white summit]

Yes!

[foggy fable]

On a sale def worth grabbing id say

[hazy pasture]

Yeah definitely because of the upcoming DLC and the Ripatorium aside from the base campaign

[gray kraken]

Had gamepass

[south pilot]

eternal is goat. doom tda and 2016 are on par. tda has better combat but 2016 has a better soundtrack and campaign

[obsidian shard]

depatable

all prefrence

[south pilot]

ye

[mental wing]

Ok, I changed the screen settings and now it works, though I have to change them every time I play the game, I have to see if there's a way to do that automatically just for the game and then, once I close it, it goes back to my previous refreshrate

[ancient atlas]

Eternal is the game that you could master infinitely, 2016 has skullcrusher, tda has the best flow of combat and the most technological graphics and engine

[random sand]

2016 has skullcrusher? i think you mean tda

[ancient atlas]

https://youtu.be/GfqcRQlFVpM?si=IsmhLmij0a2PsDMs

I meant this

Minor spelling mistake

[random sand]

ah

[ancient atlas]

[random sand]

i ain't big on the 2016 ost personally but i can see how one prefers it. i'm more of a tda ost guy

hellwalker, bfg division and at doom's gate are probably the best 2016 has to offer imo

[ancient atlas]

Sometimes tda still has weird music mixing in a game

[fleet spruce]

i only remember Rip & Tear anyway

[twilit stone]

Yeah no

[ancient atlas]

I remember i was replaying campaign and in 2nd mission a champion pinky fight there was just playing an ambient

[random sand]

fym "no" 😭

[ancient atlas]

[random sand]

wdym?

[random sand]

think your game just bugged then

[twilit stone]

BFG Division is probably my least favourite 2016 track ngl

[random sand]

cool

[twilit stone]

Sorry

[random sand]

i'm not big on the techno sounds 2016 goes for. which is interesting because i typically love techno

[fleet spruce]

my friend that has a powerful rig always experience various bugs and softlocks in Eternal, meanwhile I'm playing on a handheld PC of all things and yet to encounter any of that

[random sand]

why are you sorry? it's your opinion my man. stand for it

[fleet spruce]

so i suspect there's tons of stuff tied to framerate

[random sand]

performance has nothing to do with bugs. they can happen regardless

some bugs can be because of performance but alot of the time it's just something in the game

[fleet spruce]

they can but such frequency seems unusual

[random sand]

i suppose it depends on what the bug is. if they're falling through the ground for example, it might be a performance issue with the level not being able to load properly

[tidal crane]

Bro was saved by his bitch twice, then had to 2 v 1 the slayer and still fucking died 💀

[stone pasture]

Gentlemen, shall we discuss about a certain game on roblox that has the same kind of work, pizza game, shall we discuss if it should be given, and fed

[south pilot]

bro tda soundtrack is so good but its mixing on like spotify and youtube is so bad

[green estuary]

you should listen to TheDinosaurHeretic's mixes, he probably has the best ones I've found

[south pilot]

i usually just use slad3's

[green estuary]

his are good but for TDA I think he doesn't do quite as good of a job

a lot of his 2016 mixes are really solid though

[hazy pasture]

There's SneakyJaycool's remixes too

I found both Sneaky and Dino's remixes the best ones out there

[south pilot]

yeah true

the flesh and metal one was peak

[green estuary]

there are some he does that are really good but there are others where he does a little too much

like his rust, dust & guts remix is really good save for the middle portion where he inexplicably decides to layer two different parts of the song over each other, which I really wasn't a fan of

[fleet spruce]

There are plenty of people who mix , a lot to choose from

[solar spoke]

weapon idea: a really long rifle with an axe blade on the end by the muzzle. Glory striking discharges the hybrid weapon for a 2 for 1 kill on whatever demon is facing the barrel while you're striking another with melee

or heavily damages them at least. caveat being that it takes much longer to load than other weapons

[wintry nexus]

I want a doom the dark ages 2 because it was so good

[hazy pasture]

Gotta wait for a few years pal

[wintry nexus]

Aw

[fleet spruce]

Argenta Civil War game next most likely

[hazy pasture]

Well the DLC is gonna set that up fs

[wintry nexus]

Will there be 2 dlcs like in eternal or just one massive expansion

[hazy pasture]

Since that's the most important event in the Unholy Wars

[hazy pasture]

One massive DLC

[wintry nexus]

Yippie

[hazy pasture]

That's why they're taking time to cook it up

[wintry nexus]

As they should

I’m happy they’re taking their time tbh

[hazy pasture]

According to Hugo it's basically what Eternal to 2016 is

[wintry nexus]

I’m excited

[hazy pasture]

We all are

It's gonna be great

[wintry nexus]

I have high hopes

[fleet spruce]

which means they'll push the formula to its limits before we get a completely new gameplay next game

[hazy pasture]

Just like what they did in Tag 1 and 2 and MLs

They don't really reuse gameplay mechanics from prev games so that would make sense why they would like to push everything to 11

[hazy pasture]

Prayge

[wintry nexus]

That’s what i love about id. They risk it and completely change the gameplay instead of sticking to the same thing

[hazy pasture]

Needa keep the formula fresh

[solar cairn]

They just added a hammer to TAG and that’s it

Combat loop remained the same

[hazy pasture]

I think you didn't get it

In both the DLCs and MLs, players were required to master the combat loop of the base campaign before even thinking of conveniently completing the DLCs and MLs

[thin hound]

I don’t think they completely change the gameplay, the core is still the same

[hazy pasture]

It's about mastering the loop

Not addition of extra mechanics

They'll help you with getting through the arena but the idea is still the same

[fleet spruce]

Hammer trivializes encounters and turns demons into resource pinatas

[hazy pasture]

At most a new mechanic will create another layer of newness to the combat loop

But then again, the core is still the same

This is what pushing the gameplay formula to it's limits means

[hazy pasture]

Exactly

One rightly timed hammer slam can entirely change the outcome

[heady trout]

only in the MLs and Part 1 of the DLC, in part two you were not only not required to master any combat loop bc the hammer allowed you to cheat it basically, but the challenge even without hammer decreased noticeably

[hazy pasture]

Fairs

[heady trout]

this i appreciate though

one of the main things i like about TDA is how it fills a big hole Eternal had which has the near inability to stand your ground without dodging everything

like, while i still prefer Eternal, I love how in TDA I can just stand in the enemies faces and kill them

also im glad this game cut back on the quickswapping, i liked it in eternal yes but im not missing it really

and in general im glad tda is way more accessible as a whole

and unlike Eternal, TDA is way more accessible in console from what I understand

in truth most Eternal fans lay on the comfort of PC with all the accessible tech

nobody learns combat positioning, awareness and fundamentals bc their too busy putting all their eggs into tech and thinking quickswapping will solve all their problems

and if ur a console player and look at all the shit Eternal pc players can do you'll most definitely feel left out

[slender night]

That's assuming they care for tech in the first place

I play Eternal on console casually and don't feel like I'm missing out on fun

[willow beacon]

It wasn't really that

the problem is how you can just use it every 10 seconds if you play with that in mind

[heady trout]

yeah

[willow beacon]

If it was like 3x as hard to charge up then it would have been a decently balanced superweapon

[hazy pasture]

I might've typed that out keeping new players in mind

[willow beacon]

it's just so easy to abuse it

[hazy pasture]

Agreed

[heady trout]

im kind of sad that you can't bonk demons with it at all

i wish that instead of a "jump up and slam" you could target it at a demon first and then the same effect plays

this is why the funny bonker in TDA is cool!

[solid nacelle]

Yeah now that I think about it the mace is a lot like how I was hoping the hammer in tag 2 was gonna be

[versed quarry]

I play Eternal on PC and don’t use the tech lmao

[slender night]

That is an absolutely insane guess

How do you figure that?

What did Google say

[obsidian shard]

The Base game is only 83-88gb

[solar cairn]

It won’t be, probably 30 gigabytes, maybe 40

[obsidian shard]

"Its LIKE A Sequel"

[green estuary]

yeah I'm thinking 40 gigs max

[obsidian shard]

Like does not mean is

Same with saying Dash or Quickswapping: "its not in the way [we'll] expect"

Hi Bob

[foggy fable]

Keep in mind it will also use a lot of data of the main game. So weapons slayer himself animations etc. So it can be large without adding toooo much in terms of storage

Hi sneaky

[slender night]

And we're talking about id Software here

Eternal at launch was smaller than 2016

[foggy fable]

Dude fr I think the entire TAGs on switch was like 7gb

[obsidian shard]

id is using RTX now instead of lightboxes so that clears a ton of space too

[slender night]

It's not gonna be 100 😭

Do you mean the game total will hit 100 GB after the DLC?

[unkempt dragon]

Fellow dark ages’ slayers do you have any tips for mastering the dread mace ? Apparently a few months back you could spam it with fissure parry but thats no longer a thing, I’m not looking for cheese, just combat tips tbh

[random sand]

there's not much to it. you just bonk the shit outta a big enemy or multiple enemies

Will doom dark ages allow GTX rather non ray tracing GPU’s run the game in the future or no?

Just a casual, yo bro, when you droppin' dat DLC ?

Like we're friends or something

[hearty edge]

idk why i thought hugo was actually here

[vapid lodge]

he is

He is on this server lol

[obsidian shard]

he is

[vapid lodge]

I remember when Eternal was out, people in the voice chat would just roleplay him and play Doom Eternal while others watch

that was fun

[versed quarry]

They what?

[vapid lodge]

Voice chat would be amazing if it was back

[versed quarry]

That'd be cool but didn't they remove it because it was Hell to moderate?

[harsh egret]

yes

[hearty edge]

could you say it was a sort of hell on earth

[vapid lodge]

So basically during the pandemic (obviously)there were a lot of people in the voice chat and were excited to play Eternal. At some point someone was kinda pretending its Hugo and talking about the game while playing it, and others were watching the screenshare

[vapid lodge]

I kinda wish there was an easy way to go Quake con just to meet the devs tho, being this far from US and as an outsider is really not helping, especially financially

Would even bring my full cosplay if I knew I can safely and surely bring it

Every year I say "next year" but ends up being the same because life gets in the way

[versed quarry]

Bro just launch yourself out of the Kreed's ship.

[vapid lodge]

If it was that easy xD

Best chance I got is if Hugo would ever travel to Comic Con events in Europe.

John Romero did it and I couldn't contain my happiness

I might just ask Josh at some point in the streams

Boy, John is such a down to earth guy, I swear

[split gate]

Ngl, that’s actually what I’m expecting lol

[split gate]

No, it’s all just a dream, wake up

[spark elm]

Sly dog preset… there is literally not enough time at all.

[obsidian shard]

Hmm, I did with 2 seconds left.
It's def TIGHT

Cant screw up at all

[heady trout]

hmm i should replay dark ages with even harder sliders methinks

already have max speed, but maybe i should lower damage dealt to demons

one problem i have with tda that i also have with base eternal is that to replay most levels with the intended Slayer power you have to replay the whole campaign, i say this plenty but I'd love a sort of "episode replay" where you replay the stage with the slayer power u had back then

the dlc in Eternal brings the privilege of replaying more than just Final Sin with the intended Slayer power on command

i hope the TDA DLC leans into this a bit too, with upgrades sure, but minimal ones so that when you replay stages your still playing them as intended

either this or a "normal mode" campaign designed all for max Slayer power

[spark elm]

I’m so DONE with this preset

[covert goblet]

I just realized something (Yes it took me this long);

The Maykr's claim that they purify the slayer's mind and leave only his hatred of demons.

does that mean they tried to make him forget daisy?

[green estuary]

why don't you just...add more time?

[heady trout]

ripatorium haters when they modify the preset (easy win)

[spark elm]

Bajookie’s was thankfully more lenient on time

[versed quarry]

Wait Darin De Paul is coming back in the DLC?

[obsidian shard]

I know Finishing Move is on the DLC Music....I just can't prove it yet

[warm ibex]

of course they're on the dlc music! I don't think they'd replace their new composers for no reason 🤔

Yep. They made these difficulties specifically to torture you and only you

Thank god I can adjust settings if necessary and still get the skins.

Is the cyberdemon only has front above execution?

[idle swallow]

do you guys think this game becomes just as broken levels of easy once you get most if not all upgrades like in Doom 2016?

[fleet spruce]

i think it's a little harder than 2016 in that regard

In 2016 you can disintegrate anything below boss with SSG and Gauss siege mode bug combo

How does flip the hole gun activate the lever action reload, usually you need to go forward like his would need to face the ground to reload not the slayer

That’s simply lore-accurate DOOM, my friend!

Old games wouldn't let you do that

[slender night]

I'm surprised this one does

[green estuary]

I wish id had locked the UN sliders so that you could only increase them

Oh well, not that big of a deal I suppose

[slender night]

Just add a permadeath toggle

[green estuary]

You can cheese 2016 and Eternal nightmare with saving throw and alt-f4 anyways

[slender night]

Come on guys, you did this for RAGE 2, why not TDA

[green estuary]

Was rage 2 really an id game though

Kinda sorta I guess

[slender night]

They worked on it

[fading bone]

yeah. this one does tho so

[unkempt dragon]

anome and rage 2

[slender night]

Love is in the air

[obsidian shard]

Yes, It was indeed made by them ALONGSIDE another studio

[versed quarry]

Ohhhh

[green estuary]

yeah which is why I only said it was kinda sorta an id game

haven't gotten around to buying/playing it yet but from what I've seen it doesn't really look like an id shooter

could be wrong though

[hazy pasture]

I last played it almost 5 years ago

iirc I found the gameplay loop pretty fun

[split gate]

No, you will only get nuggets during streams 🫵

[versed quarry]

Such heavy hopium fumes in here

[split gate]

We live and breathe the hopium

[solar cairn]

I need to see what I can play while I’m waiting for the release of the dlc

But as if the most interesting thing is in May, and then I already hope and the news will be from Hugo

[scenic lichen]

The voices told me at 3 am the dlc releases tomorrow

And the voices usually aren’t wrong

[warm ibex]

[warm ibex]

oh you weren't kidding, the last batch of identical changes was the literal day before Update 3 lol

I expected like a week prior to the update or something

[harsh egret]

Ye lol

(im not counting the ones right after the update tho since it was just hotfixes)

[hearty edge]

dlc releases tomorrow

[warm ibex]

and it seems like the same thing has happened before every listed update

nice

good eye

[harsh egret]

Thing is I have no idea what this update could even be

If ripatorium update isnt coming before dlc then...

[green estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/pumped-up-hype-gif-13746267

[frosty roost]

wait what's going on?

[green estuary]

they're gonna add back in all those respawning arachnotrons

[harsh egret]

"fixed komodo theme not replaying after dying on the komodo champion fight" cinema

[green estuary]

that was very much a doom eternal move lol

"so you think the encounters are too easy? aight bet"

[harsh egret]

Scroll up a bit!

[frosty roost]

oh that's exciting!

[harsh egret]

Like i srsly dont know what it could be

Ng+ at this point makes more sense after the dlc

And its not ripatorium

Unless the dlc is shadowdropping this week

[crude lintel]

They've replaced all the demons with Marauders.

[elder raven]

can we get a demon that we just cant kill and will one shot us in this update? Thank you, id!

[frosty roost]

just give us a stalker-type enemy

[unkempt dragon]

you're too fresh off Requiem lol

[frosty roost]

listen.. I'm trying to 100% it before the dlc okay 😭

my brain's been fried because of resident evil

[crude lintel]

The residents truly were evil this time.

[fleet spruce]

The time is now...

[mystic barn]

I’ve been playing a lot of RE recently and streaming it for my missus. It’s a fun little thing we do, so I understand being fried by RE. It’s just so good though

[warm ibex]

could still be ripatorium tbf. Hugo mentioned that the melee and rune swapping would come close to the dlc but that update released like four months ago lol

definitely seems like they finish things a lot sooner than they expect sometimes

[wide siren]

wednesday

[mystic barn]

I’m thinking it might be updating the store page for a DLC trailer. They did joke that the DLC trailer would be “next week” in the previous stream, but they also said the trailer is a while away. Maybe that was so they don’t get our hopes up, then surprising us on Thursday with a trailer? I’m not sure

[obsidian shard]

Half life community ahh behavior

[stray pollen]

I'll never forget during the game awards showing off a new mega man game, and some chatter said "Why is Gordon Freeman blue?"

[warm ibex]

unfortunately these seem to be game updates and not storefront updates

unless I'm mistaken ofc

[mystic barn]

Yeah, you’re spot on there. I didn’t realise that the changes tend to specify if it’s for the storefront

[flat elm]

Guys, now we need inject the hopium in our veins and wait.

[tidal crane]

Doomium (how long is this going to take?)

[flat elm]

As needed)

[split gate]

Ask Hugo, he’ll know

[stone pasture]

how yall feel about modders bringing the man and the guy to smash

[fading bone]

what now

[harsh egret]

dlc dropping today

[split gate]

Man? They bringing this dude?

https://tenor.com/view/man-yeah-i'm-man-meme-the-flash-batman-arkam-gif-12016075606724428920

[stone pasture]

yes, they are bringing doom to smash

[split gate]

Looking forward to it definitely

Wish he came officially tho

[fading bone]

oh THAT'S what he meant? lol

[merry sapphire]

man i Cant Believe they Brought Samual Hayden Back

[split gate]

No way, they got the intern

[versed quarry]

Argent energy

[tidal crane]

Forever, basically

[heady trout]

im tyring to record a run on hebeth at high sliders and holy shit why am i sucking so much ass

without movment tech in this game its way easier to reach low health

even with the fabled shield, which at this early point of the game is made of paper mache and will struggle against the fodder spam

i wish the projectiles in this game were faster without being op, it kind of breaks the immersion thinking that the demons would fire such slow projectiles

[elder raven]

please show, big advocate for doomguy in smash

[gilded lintel]

I'm not getting the quest for the cycler conqueror skin, would anyone happen to have a similar problem?

nvm I'm an idiot, I get it

[tidal crane]

Is the DLC out yet? Or am I going crazy?

[fleet spruce]

it could be...

just around the corner...

[hazy pasture]

Hugo will leak it someday soon

[wooden acorn]

correct
they expelled me from med school cause I lost all mine

[unkempt dragon]

guys chill with the meme spam please

[tidal crane]

Then again. If it’s been given 3+ years in the oven, it’s GOTTA be good. Apparently it’s big enough to feel like its own separate game.

[harsh egret]

where'd u get the 3+ years from

[eager thistle]

Is it that deep bro

maybe its not

[hard thistle]

I wanna know where you got that from.. the dlc's been in dev for 3 years???

[harsh egret]

chill lol.

[unkempt dragon]

Stop bullying

You don't need to drag it out

literally, drop the topic

[hazy pasture]

No it's not mate that's just misunderstanding that's all

[tidal crane]

My source is that I made it the fuck up

[unkempt dragon]

How about this everyone: The DLC will be released when it's released. It's getting old seeing arguments in here about it and people being demanding as if the devs are going to look in here and suddenly release it. Be patient, play the game until then or something else. If there's any more bullying in here, regardless of if you think someone is making incorrect statements, you'll be issued a warning. Move on please.

Also if you are trolling in the chat to get reactions, you will also be issued a warning. Don't be toxic.

[harsh egret]

does that include what me or horde said earlier

thanks mr mod

[hazy pasture]

Well let's just talk about something else

[harsh egret]

yeye i was just curious

[obsidian shard]

What did I stumble upon

[solid nacelle]

I had briefly experienced a bug just the other day where my shield remained in the blocking position even though I let off the block button

I don't even remember how I got out of it

[hard thistle]

Well the best part of it (that's thankfully not made up) is that it's gonna be a HUGE dlc and I'm all for it

[obsidian shard]

I have a Google doc that has all the revealed stuff so far

[hard thistle]

Yea dude i actually saw your twitter post and replied to it saying "appreciate the info round up" and you saw it. So yea i have been keeping up with your info posts. Much appreciated bro

[eager thistle]

Everybody bend to this random guy’s will, no dlc release date discussion

[hazy pasture]

...

[unkempt dragon]

Who?

[obsidian shard]

Who you talking about?

[steady elbow]

What random guy?

[spiral crow]

Hey guys, is anyone here a xbox player

[eager thistle]

I was talking about the mod but I suppose I cant discuss it because of a server rule

[supple oracle]

No it just we have discuss that alot, repeating this conversion everyday is unnecessary, DLC will come, when it ready, if you want to read these converstions again just read the old messages man

[eager thistle]

True but I think speculation is the fun part

[hazy pasture]

Having even a tiny bit of knowledge of context helps a lot at times you know

[steady elbow]

Nobody said no discussion about it. It's the arguments and entitlement surrounding the subject that are tiresome and need to stop.

[wide siren]

do you have a moment to discuss our savior, the dlc?

[hazy pasture]

There's nothing to discuss new about the DLC as of now mate

[supple oracle]

but it everyday, same shit over and over

[tidal crane]

Can’t wait

[wide siren]

just kidding

[eager thistle]

but some of the people who come to chat here are not here everyday. Some are but not everyone.

[wide siren]

but maybe just let people have their fun as long as it doesn’t get in the way of other conversations

[supple oracle]

You can read the old messages if you curious what people talking about

[eager thistle]

I think people come here to chat, not read old stuff

[supple oracle]

and also people come here not only to talk about the DLC release date

There alot of conversions we can have about The game instead of talking about the dlc release date everyday, just have some self esteem just a little bit

[steady elbow]

Different people use the same software different ways. Some will chat, some will lurk. Some will read old messages, some will not. And just like you said, yes some will come in and not know that this has been argued to death already, but at the same time, this is the most logical place for such an argument to occur repeatedly. Someone coming in here and riling folks up about release dates or features or what-have-you is akin to climbing a tall snowy mountain to complain to the two people in the "town" up there about it being cold. They'd roll their eyes if they weren't already frozen...

[harsh egret]

well said lol

[frail bloom]

Boomershooterart is taken the piss now

[eager thistle]

Honestly great way to put it

[frail bloom]

Look at his new post

I mean really😑

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-my-mom-is-kinda-homeless-please-speed-i-need-this-tired-blow-gif-15401023925154467112

[hazy pasture]

Aight lemme check

[frail bloom]

One word: Daikatana

That's your hint

[wide siren]

could’ve just dropped the ”first time?” meme but decided to hit us with a beatiful analogy instead

[tidal crane]

Did you know that you can block attacks using your shield while playing doom the dark ages?

[alpine pilot]

where doom (sorry for bad english)

[eager thistle]

i just think that its not that deep to the point that we need to be silencing people that want to partake in dlc release date discussion. If the convo is tired to you than just dont talk about. but to tell someone else to not talk about it is weird

[frail bloom]

So has anyone seen the post

[frail bloom]

Nah you're good

[harsh egret]

the one from like 20 mins ago?

[supple oracle]

What post ??

[alpine pilot]

where post

[harsh egret]

nothing doom related

[wide siren]

you know what, i forget all the time. i just parry with it

[frail bloom]

No it's the one where it says, " Hugo Martin about to make you his Bich"

[hazy pasture]

Whatever I saw was just too bad to the point it's funny

[harsh egret]

ah

yes

[frail bloom]

Was it the one I sent?

[fleet spruce]

green katana or something

[frail bloom]

And I think it was dlc related

[hazy pasture]

Yeah

And that Requiem one too

[frail bloom]

And in general, multiple news outlets have been commenting on Hugo's recent hints

[supple oracle]

where post

[steady elbow]

That's really not what was said though. It's the arguing and entitlement that are problematic. If you want to speculate without triggering unnecessary debates, by all means, go for it.

[frail bloom]

Especially the whole "it's basically a sequel" thing

[hazy pasture]

It's sadly a bait, Saleem...

[harsh egret]

i mean if it makes sense with the context he gave in the replies then i guess its fine but it is still weird idk

[frail bloom]

Oh I didn't read it. My fault on that part but I assumed he was passing it off as advertisement, so it's good that he isn't

But it would totally be a him thing

[obsidian shard]

I dont get it

[harsh egret]

wdym

[frail bloom]

But yeah I've seen like 10 articles on this

[harsh egret]

the post is random asf but with the context he gave i guess its less so but still kinda

[hazy pasture]

@supple oracle if you mean the post by Boomershooterart then it's just him being him nothing else

[hazy pasture]

Yeah those are everywhere

[frail bloom]

Ye they've picked up suddenly

[hazy pasture]

Cuz it's really big

[frail bloom]

I haven't read them but I hope they aren't inflating anything

Well maybe Hugo already is

Idk

[hazy pasture]

We'll see in this week's Slayer's Club Live

[harsh egret]

i havent read too much but it seemed fine to me

[hazy pasture]

Yeah basically whatever Hugo said

[outer hawk]

Hi sorry to interrupt but does anyone know if hugo is streaming today? (and if so is he continuing witchfire?)

[frail bloom]

Idk why he said basically a sequel it's just puffery

Or maybe it isn't

He just confuses me

[hazy pasture]

Is it tonight? I don't really remember so sorry

[hazy pasture]

Hugo stuff nothing new

[harsh egret]

he didnt say "its basically a sequel" straight up

[frail bloom]

First 11 levels is too much, then he says it'll be decently big, now he's saying it's massive

[harsh egret]

he said it feels like a sequel due to how big it is

i think thats fine to say lol

[hazy pasture]

Basically a sequel very much might mean pushing the gameplay loop to the point it feels rejuvenated and fresh again

[frail bloom]

But all the articles are pulling the exact quote and are putting it in quotation marks

[outer hawk]

No worries but thank you!

[frail bloom]

Which makes it sound like something he directly said

[harsh egret]

wut

[frail bloom]

Look them up

[hazy pasture]

He did say it but he meant something else

[frail bloom]

See for yourself

[hazy pasture]

But it's what it's

[grim cloud]

i need to catch up on the streams. but diablo 2 been taking all my free time

[harsh egret]

well, nothing new i guess

[hazy pasture]

Greetings Zemini

[harsh egret]

just articles clickbaiting as much as they can lol

[frail bloom]

I haven't read them tho

They could be saying anything

[harsh egret]

from what i remember, most of them did quote pretty much exactly what he actually said on stream

[grim cloud]

so the news buzzing about the dlc being longer than expected? like sequel sized?

[harsh egret]

gamingbolt's article was nice

[frail bloom]

Ye

[hazy pasture]

Yh

[grim cloud]

so that 12 level comment made last year might be a reality

[frail bloom]

Which is weird

"Nah 11 levels is kinda crazy c'mon" or smt

[harsh egret]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-they-called-me-a-madman-infinity-war-madman-gif-13990981

u guys were so convinced

[grim cloud]

i wonder if there will be dragon/mech levels

[frail bloom]

Why is Hugo rewarding your delusion

[harsh egret]

we'll see

like i said, i thought it was obvious

[frail bloom]

That he was lying?

[harsh egret]

im decent at reading people's reactions lol

[frail bloom]

Or the nice way to say it is "misdirecting"

[hazy pasture]

Lmaooo

[frail bloom]

Ok so literally anything he says can be interpreted in the opposite direction now

[hazy pasture]

Y'all are forgetting that Hugo loves rewarding big speculations

[harsh egret]

like i said, i felt he literally was joking around saying its alot just to in turn surprise us

[hazy pasture]

Back in 2020 Slayer's Club Live he teased TDA

[frail bloom]

So mis-directing

[frail bloom]

He did

[hazy pasture]

Coincidence but Davoth tells Slayer to "Stand and Fight"...

[eager thistle]

Yeah I agree of course with the toxic shit, I was more referring to the other mod earlier telling people to just be patient

[hazy pasture]

And that was in 2021

[frail bloom]

He also said the Davoth fight was the best in the series

[eager thistle]

like what do you think we’re doing bro lmao

[hazy pasture]

💔🥀

[frail bloom]

Heartbreaking

[steady elbow]

I know what statement you are referring to. The context is in regards to entitlement.

[versed quarry]

It’s true though…

[harsh egret]

"FIGHT and show me your purpose 👹 "

[frail bloom]

Huh

[versed quarry]

I’m just trolling

[frail bloom]

Phew

[harsh egret]

well at least we know why it turned out not to be lol

[hazy pasture]

"I showed you my Purpose now please let me see that artifact on your chest"

Good thing you reminded me of them

[grim cloud]

the might baalgar, the shadow lord from ancient hell

[frail bloom]

Ye I don't see that happening but would be cool

[harsh egret]

also thank god they arent showing the amount of phases next to the boss' hp lmao

i didnt like that in eternal

[hazy pasture]

Too arcadey for me

[random sand]

that's what eternal went for tho

[hazy pasture]

Dude... Ik that

[harsh egret]

i feel like they couldve just not done it in eternal either tbh, even with it being arcadey

[frail bloom]

Huh I didn't mind it

[eager thistle]

And like I said obviously we would silence people being toxic

[random sand]

so did you say that for that one thing or all of it?

[harsh egret]

i dont like knowing how many phases it has from the start

[frail bloom]

Fair point

[harsh egret]

one of the aspects i loved the most from after playing elden ring

[hazy pasture]

Before you destroy me, I just didn't like the phase count
