the-dark-ages

[rotund rune]

That's not the same helmet

Cool nevertheless

[harsh egret]

It is a bit different yeah

The whole thing actually, just similar

[rotund rune]

I believe it's in the game but as another class

[harsh egret]

Maybe

[rotund rune]

Just checked it isn't

[obsidian shard]

Makes sense tho with doing another Diablo Collab, First one did pretty good (Supposedly) and they are under the same Owner (Microsoft)

[rotund rune]

I really had my hopes we'd get crucible in the dlc, what a pity

It was so useless in eternal, I'd like it more in the melee focused game which tda is

[rotund rune]

Wdym first one? I thought there was only this one

[obsidian shard]

The only Crucible we could get would be the Demonic Crucible since the Slayers Crucible is embedded in the Titan

[obsidian shard]

Diablo 4 and now Diablo Immortal

[rotund rune]

Wait those are different games?

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[rotund rune]

This is from IV, right?

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[rotund rune]

What's Immortal getting?

The same skins?

I thought it was just a trailer marketing the same Diablo 4 Collab

[obsidian shard]

Cyber Demon Boss Fight
1x The Crucible Legendary Gem
1x Legendary Crests
5x Emoji
6x Crests
10x Set Gear
10x Sentinel Forged Armory Weapon Cosmetic
Serrat and Cacodemon Pets
Slayer Skin Cosmetics

[stuck basalt]

brooooo i woke up and ts scared me

[rotund rune]

And we get nothing smh

[obsidian shard]

Wdym?

[rotund rune]

Our game gets nothing with the collab

[fading bone]

my brother in christ we're gonna get a whole ass DLC before the years over

[fading bone]

[heady trout]

john Doom himself

[earnest silo]

Big Shout Out To Chad Hugo Martin
You Doomers are in for a HELL OF A RIDE

[heady trout]

god bless

[warm ibex]

I woke up to a "New Post From DOOM" notification earlier and saw a super small preview of the Diablo Immortal keyart and thought it finally happened. Rage baited the milisecond I opened my eyes 💀

[harsh egret]

Sup horse

[heady trout]

🐎

[hard thistle]

Ultra Nightmare? Well, damn. Time to bust out the pizza and wings!

[stuck basalt]

hugo gonna die at the very end and cancel the dlc

[heady trout]

rip

[wide siren]

dlc won’t release before hugo clears ultra nightmare (he has maxed out sliders)

[fading bone]

[rotund rune]

Is the game done with balancing?

[harsh egret]

More or less

They are adding a new attack to the cyberdemon tho, idk when probably with the dlc

But there could also be more new attacks or adjustments to other demons, we dont know yet

[grim cloud]

maybe hugo should try pandemonium first ... .

[earnest silo]

hello fellow slayers
can you all say Hi to Hugo From The OG Slayer himself during the stream?
I'd be busy in HELL slaying the demons then

[modern badger]

We should bet if hes making it to the beach fight on his first run

[warm ibex]

I have faith in the goat, it seems like he's been playing a lot more recently

[spiral crow]

I hit 200 hours on dark ages on xbox today

[warm ibex]

incredible work raven

[solar spoke]

I thought April 1st was over

They do be baiting the community lol

[grim cloud]

i did get all the D4 stuff sicne I had the game. Not sure if i care enough about Immortal

[unkempt dragon]

the cosplay thing you're doing is weird tbh

[warm ibex]

At least the new key art looks awesome, can't wait for the HD no logo version to drop

wallpaper material

[grim cloud]

yah i am eager for the DLC key art. Must add it my collection for desktop

[warm ibex]

yeah looking forward to DLC key art too

[modern badger]

That key art is def gonna have the spear

[fading bone]

im really curious what the spear will actually look like

will it be hellish, cosmic shit, more sentinel medieval stuff

[modern badger]

I imagine some argent energy thing like the crucible

[fading bone]

peak

[modern badger]

It would be really funny if it was a stick with a gemstone on top

[grim cloud]

well that would be a staff

slayer dont use no stinkin staves

[modern badger]

Oop i meant a wraithstone

Its got that spear blade shape

[grim cloud]

he uses bonk or stabby stabs

or slicy dicies'

and maybe choppies as well but we havn't seen a axe to my knowledge

[modern badger]

I think the slayer has an axe in the alpha footage from the files

[grim cloud]

in tda files?

[harsh egret]

Wasnt there some alpha footage or smth

[wintry forge]

I remember seeing that on yt

[harsh egret]

Yh

[wintry forge]

On foot titan combat and stuff

[chilly needle]

Hopefully a stream tonight. Its been 3 weeks

[harsh egret]

There is one

[modern badger]

Atlan was gonna have like a weird tree system of attacks

[harsh egret]

Hugo gonna play UN

[wintry forge]

UN is gonna be crazy. Can Hugo beat the prologue 🤔

[grim cloud]

so we taking bets we beats the first level on first try?

[chilly needle]

Dope

[wintry forge]

It’s honestly just a complex visual of what there is now. It would’ve been too complicated to focus on both perhaps

[modern badger]

I def think he can make it to the arena right before the turret

[harsh egret]

I dont think he is making it past the first imp

[chilly needle]

UN on TDA?

[harsh egret]

Yes

[chilly needle]

Super dope

[grim cloud]

i died in the small arena at the barracks, couple hell knights spawn. but i havn't been back

[solar drift]

The larger logo-less version of the Immortal crossover key art seems to be out there already, but kind of tucked away on other news sites. Largest I've found is 2560x1182, maybe a larger one will be posted officially at some point though.

[harsh egret]

Sup xous!

[obsidian shard]

It's available on the Diablo Immortal Website

When I get home from work I can send it (unless someone else does before me)

[solar drift]

Do they have a wallpaper section with it? The one in the article is smaller and cropped from the larger one I found.

[wintry forge]

On my life there’s no way he’s making it past Barracks at most. Love the dude, but without any real UN practice, that level will wipe the floor with people

[solar drift]

I might just be missing it somewhere. But cool if it's already available somewhere on the official site.

[solar drift]

Maybe, secretly, the last two weeks have been all UN practice for the stream. He's gonna speedrun it in one go.

[unkempt dragon]

I'm asking right now

gimme a min

[harsh egret]

Ahh thats why he took some time off... Makes sense

#screenshots message
Sick ass art man, saw these for the first time now on the website

[modern badger]

Maybe today marks the day Hugo Martin sets a new speedrun world record on his own game

[warm ibex]

I was able to find that! Although I'm sure there's an even larger version somewhere

If nothing else the original artist will likely post the full version on art station

[pastel pebble]

I wonder if it'll be Ahzraks spear

[unkempt dragon]

good job my man

[fading bone]

ive seen other ppl say the same but i really hope it isnt. id like to see something new

[elder raven]

hello everyone

[fading bone]

[chilly needle]

I got to the ancestral forge before my UN run ended

[fading bone]

thats pretty good nice job king

[rapid lotus]

I hope the nugget tonight is a new demon. Arch vile come back is cool but i hope more

[harsh egret]

Same

[harsh egret]

Archvile coming back is like one of the biggest reveals they could do unless its something entirely new and i dont think they will talk about that on stream

[chilly needle]

Thanks homie I appreciate that

[chilly needle]

I thought the archvile was confirmed to come back?

[earnest silo]

I Haven't played dark ages yet. I don't have a PC now. But I played Eternal like a mad man on my friend's PC.

[chilly needle]

Dark ages is so good and the gameplay is addicting

[earnest silo]

Yeah man, I wish I could experience it

[frosty pine]

Hear me out right

If he beats ultra nightmare

He'll drop the trailer

Trust

[stuck basalt]

if he doesnt then the dlc is canceled

no more doom guys 😔

[earnest silo]

I doubt he's gonna complete UN in less than a yeat

[stuck basalt]

bros gonna restart like 500 times 😭

[earnest silo]

More

[primal mauve]

yes but I have a question, does it also make you use almost 100% of the GPU when playing DOOM The Dark Ages?

[stuck basalt]

uh not in my case and my pc old since 2020

[earnest silo]

Well depends on the GPU

But still not 100

[chilly needle]

No idea but I play on console mainly. My pc runs it but I use the play anywhere from xbox and run in on my pc through xbox so im not sure if that makes a diff

[primal mauve]

i have Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti

[earnest silo]

If ur not trolling then no

[primal mauve]

so, is normal an high usage of GPU?

[earnest silo]

Maybe the temperature's getting high

Or background services

[primal mauve]

i have tried with another game and with an FPS cap and the usage goes...medium, between 10-50%

[earnest silo]

Are you using path tracing?

[primal mauve]

no

[earnest silo]

Try lowering ur graphics settings and maybe turning on Vsync

[primal mauve]

tried it and is still 100%, and on menu drops on 50% because is on menu

i am start to thinking that is normal because it try to maximize the FPS because high usage, high fps

maybe is me that i am a little bit paranoic

[earnest silo]

Do you know that you can turn on the metrics of the fps and gpu usages in the game settings

That will tell you everything

[primal mauve]

i am using the xbox game bar counter 😅

[earnest silo]

The in game settings will give you the details

[primal mauve]

until now i have got zero problem to play, with high usage of GPU too. Maybe is me that i am paranoic

[earnest silo]

If the temperature of the GPU doesn't exceed the dangerous limits
Then you don't need to worry about that

[primal mauve]

yes, thx for support

[earnest silo]

Keep ripping and tearing, slayer

Haha aight

[primal mauve]

i hope in a FPS limiter in the next doom game

[earnest silo]

There should be one in dark ages

I haven't played it so can't confirm it

I guess Eternal had it
Cant remember it since i never used it

Hoping to get a gaming rig in the future
So i could too experience Dark Ages

[stone pasture]

We got a stream

[stone pasture]

[frail bloom]

Anyone remember Dean

In the hospice

Is there any news on him

I haven't seen anyone say anything since then

[elder raven]

yes

[unkempt dragon]

Please discuss non TDA topics in General chat

[harsh egret]

Yes man we know 😭

[frail bloom]

Are we getting past Khalim today chat

(No))

[elder raven]

i bet he gets as far as maybe aratum

or barracks

[spiral crow]

Question is we getting past siege part 1 XD

[frail bloom]

No he's gonna stumble on some silly mistake and die

No wait he's been playing the dlc all this time presumably

[spiral crow]

Bro i just finished the extra life mode on TDA and that was such a bitch to deal with

[frail bloom]

Maybe he's cracked now

[spiral crow]

Probably not, because he'll be probably pressing buttons that has to do something with the DLC only to realise the base game doesn't have those features

[frail bloom]

Damn it we be dying today chat

We ain't getting past Khalim

We don't have the spear

How are we gonna dodge those fence projectiles

I hope the dash and evade can nullify the fence stuff

[worldly sun]

So I hear mr game director is playing UN today but if it’s just a mis title and they meant ultra kill

[frail bloom]

Mr game director forgor

[worldly sun]

Unless he jumps straight in at most we gonna see 2 levels

[frail bloom]

We ain't diffing Un today chat

Me want to know what the secret weapon is

Me super curious

[stuck basalt]

hugo will smash his setup

[spiral crow]

It's daisy trust

[pastel pebble]

You get to turn into Hugo Martin

[knotty pewter]

[pine terrace]

I'm sensing a pattern

[obsidian shard]

[rapid lotus]

We all agree that the spear replace the shield right ?

[green estuary]

[stuck basalt]

[solar spoke]

[green estuary]

ultrakill is mega mid

[unkempt dragon]

He was squinting a ton and taking his glasses on and off and struggling lol

[green estuary]

[unkempt dragon]

I wear my contacts at work then glasses at home. Ngl my headphones on the glasses hurt after awhile

[wintry forge]

I had to ss it for the Hugo memes. He looked pissed

Half of the reason I ordered one

Here he goes about the 2016 helmet

Everybody’s been asking for one

[pine terrace]

Helmet for every game would be cool

Would definitely collect those

Doom 3 helmet was underrated

[elder raven]

hato never type

[harsh egret]

he will die in like 10 mins so we will get the lore nugget in a few mins

[elder raven]

🤫

[wintry forge]

It’s a shame I’ll miss most of it. I’ll have to check chat consistently to see the lore tease 🤔

[wintry forge]

I hope he was serious about wearing the helmet after he dies 🙏

[last geyser]

I think “throw” confirms the new weapon is a spear (as if it wasnt obvious)

[harsh egret]

100%

[wintry forge]

Interesting because i thought he said it was gonna be a dash/stab mechanic. I wonder how it’d work

[solar spoke]

maybe throw when still, dash/stab when moving/airborne?

like maybe you can throw when blocking/parrying

[wintry forge]

That’s possible… interesting…

Maybe there’s some sort of counter/secondary ability

[last geyser]

My guess is that the spear gets lodged in an enemy after u throw it and then theres a button you press that pulls you in to the enemy with the spear in it

Kind of like how u traverse the environment by throwing the shield at those green things but in combat

[unkempt dragon]

💀

If he died there I stg

[harsh egret]

alright he made it past the level i thought he would die in...

[solar spoke]

he's 25% of the way through my bet

[elder raven]

@wintry forge lets go to the roof. i saw that comment

I've been out of the house, just got home. Have I missed anything noteworthy @obsidian shard

[elder raven]

Throw

[wintry forge]

And another lore tease will be dropped at the end of the stream

[harsh egret]

• "throw" keyword related to gameplay
• lore keyword: at the end of stream
  Hugo praises the awesome level design in the DLC, backtracking feels great
  lots of secrets in the dlc and they will be worth it to find and unlock

unorganized notes so far

shit looks clean as hell

[stuck basalt]

also theyre on the pathing part of the dlc

[warm steppe]

pathing?

[stuck basalt]

ye

[harsh egret]

he meant pathing as in exploration

[solid nacelle]

What do they mean by auto turret bug?

[warm steppe]

they're on the exploration part? in terms of what? development? gameplay? i'm still confused

[harsh egret]

focusing on having a good balance so that the player doesnt get lost while also not having too much handholding

[stuck basalt]

damn theyre almost done

i will play the dlc in my undies

[harsh egret]

that one has nothing to do with where they are in development

just a description of how the exploration will be lol

[warm ibex]

good to know. I'll be watching the stream from the beginning so I'll try to write down the exact quote

I appreciate all the catchup, you guys are awesome

hi horde

[warm ibex]

hi

[green estuary]

greetings horse mode gaming

[wintry forge]

Gotta hop off the stream. Pls keep me updated for news lmao @elder raven

[harsh egret]

🐴

[wintry forge]

He also talked about tweaking the barrel damage

[warm ibex]

turning it up or down?

[wintry forge]

Down

He was giving an unofficial poll to the chat

[warm ibex]

down would be nice lol

[harsh egret]

was it dmg or was it its range

[warm ibex]

decrease damage to player, drastically increase damage to demons 😀

[harsh egret]

lol

i think if they decrease the aoe range of the explosion to the slayer i think it should be perfect

[wintry forge]

I thought it was self damage, at least that’s where he left off with it

Just for the slayer would be perfect. Enemy effect is already great

[green estuary]

Ye ngl the range is kinda nutty

[solid nacelle]

If they reduced the range at which you receive damage that alone would go a long way

[harsh egret]

yeah

[warm ibex]

standing halfway across the arena in fear of blowing your legs off

[harsh egret]

maybe by "throw" he means picking up barrels and being able to throw them at demons

omg bruh

[warm ibex]

looks like I missed a previous mancubus death lol

[harsh egret]

yep

[solar spoke]

Just like Resident Evil

[solar cairn]

Is he going through the campaign again?

[warm ibex]

ultra nightmare

[solar cairn]

Oh..

[harsh egret]

Valens dagger

[solar spoke]

Valen's dagger

[solid nacelle]

From eternal

[elder raven]

FUCK

i lost a bet

[obsidian shard]

no idea

[elder raven]

@wintry forge alright, 5 dollars soon

[wintry forge]

What?

Oh Hell yeah

valens dagger

from doom eternal

[wintry forge]

Awesome!

[elder raven]

https://tenor.com/view/ted-ted2-john-bennett-ted-movie-movie-gif-26350600

NOT AWESOME

[wintry forge]

All these things that point to Valen and Marok and the betrayal 🤔

We’re really getting everything except for the death of Marok huh

[solid nacelle]

Why do we want that right away

[wintry forge]

We don’t

[elder raven]

Embed…

[wintry forge]

I want more medieval games. But to be fair, the Betrayal happens after Marok’s death. So there’s no telling how many years pass between then and the Betrayal

[split gate]

Bruh

[solar cairn]

What dagger are we talking about?

[obsidian shard]

DLC Nuggets of the Day

Combat-Word 1: Throw (Possibly Spear Throw???)

Lore-Word 2: Valen's Dagger (from DOOM Eternal)

[wintry forge]

From Eternal. The one Valen gives the Slayer, which he uses to stab into the Icon’s heart

[warm ibex]

Obviously we'll have to see how the DLC plays out, but I imagine that they're setting things up for a direct sequel game.

All of this setup is probably an extension of the "out of the codex and into the narrative" philosophy that they've adapted post-Eternal

[spiral crow]

I still think the word "throw" is for the Axe

[warm steppe]

nah. throw is for spear

[warm ibex]

Getting everything out in the open so that players know what's going on and why once a Argenta Civil War game drops in like four years

[spiral crow]

Doom The Civil War

Or Doom The Argenta Civil War

[warm ibex]

I hope they go with something shorter next time lol. DOOM: The Dark Ages is a sick name but it's a little long and doesn't have the same simple punch as DOOM: Eternal

[split gate]

Doom: Ages

[wintry forge]

That’s what I’m hoping for. I wonder if the next game will jump to a time AFTER the start of the Civil War

[obsidian shard]

DOOM: Year Zero

[harsh egret]

DOOM:

[spiral crow]

Do:

[split gate]

D

[warm ibex]

I'm kinda thinking it will at the moment since the argenta civil war is long and it seems like a lot of the drama comes from the last half of it

[spiral crow]

Yeah wouldn't this mean there's going to be alot more of a story focus?

Like way more than dark ages?

[wintry forge]

The games tend to start after the drama buildup and jump straight into the catastrophe/action. So I’m excepting it to

[elder raven]

might be stretching but… ghost reference? i know its just a codename for what dark ages was but 👀

[solar cairn]

The trailer for dlc will be at the presentation in June, otherwise I don’t know..

I haven’t played the game for 4 months, I’m still waiting for the release of the add-on

[obsidian shard]

Waiting for @harsh egret to post the DLC news:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1490925064470921288/1491926940255391794/image.png?ex=69d978bd&is=69d8273d&hm=f36ffb8c91e51df0f297f64f0514e2ce547a0afb19a6fc0f042177fd3d8ead03&

[spiral crow]

And then you see "out now"

https://tenor.com/view/traewockhardt-sad-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-16591014784735052511

[warm ibex]

not necessarily, I'd say they could properly adapt what's been written without needing to do any more storytelling than TDA did

[harsh egret]

lmao

[solar cairn]

The most anticipated release for me this year

[stuck basalt]

id say sometime in late april and a release in may idk tho

tbh, its the trailer that tells

[solar cairn]

I think there will be nothing until June, there are only Xbox projects and it will be possible to find 2 minutes for the trailer

[warm ibex]

I think you guys gotta let that shit go

Two long ass months until the June showcase, anything could happen in that time

[solar cairn]

Goosebumps from this

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/goosebumps-dog-evil-gif-26103807

type shit

[foggy fable]

Hot take

I actually love its taking so long for them to release dlc and any news

[obsidian shard]

Such as Horde Mode Gaming Being Taken Over by SneakyJay Inc

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-scared-ishowspeed-resident-evil-9-requiem-ishowspeed-reaction-ishowspeed-meme-speed-face-gif-16329040763562474970

[foggy fable]

It means they are doing their best to make top tier content without being forced to rush it out

[solar cairn]

Hugo has already given so much different information that it will be enough for 2 games..

[elder raven]

horde please sue he’s making a monopoly out of the doomtubers

[versed quarry]

cough cyberpunk2077 cough

[foggy fable]

I personally enjoyed both TAGS and the sheer number of environments and stuff was nice. Now imagine if both tags were not forced and limited to only 6 months dev time each?

The potential for Dark Ages dlc is huge. And i will gladly wait

[obsidian shard]

Allstin's been bought and Midnight is under talks rn

(trust)

[stuck basalt]

FACTS

[elder raven]

THIS IS DISGUSTING

[obsidian shard]

The maps in TAG were bloody amazing, Immora is such a standout for me, cant wait to see the DLC

[warm ibex]

it really shouldn't be a hot take if we're being honest

[foggy fable]

Right?

[fresh lintel]

ayyye what's up Horde! you doing good?

[versed quarry]

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

[foggy fable]

The fact each tag had VERY distinct levels was pretty insane

[warm ibex]

oh hey man! I'm doin pretty alright, how're you?

[foggy fable]

If dark ages dlc can do more of that im happy hell im happy regardless

[obsidian shard]

Impatience my friend lol

[foggy fable]

Live service has ruined gaming

[fresh lintel]

im doing ok, just made a spiritual sequel to my first ripatorium preset

[foggy fable]

People expect games to be updated forever and get upset when they dont or dont get updated quickly

“but people will move on and not play anymore if there is no constant new content”

Not to back in my day,
But back in my day. Your “dlc” was hoping it got a second game. And guess what? You happily played other games and replayed games too

[versed quarry]

cough TF2 cough

[fresh lintel]

honestly same, i mean TF2 hasn't gotten new content for what.. since.. 2016?? i love the shit outta that game

[solar cairn]

I want more locations in hell

[foggy fable]

Wonder when that switch 2 dark ages port is happening, but i have many other games to play until then

[frail bloom]

So

Throw, huh

Throwin'

[fresh lintel]

switch 2 port might happen later on.. if im to guess.. maybe like.. a month or two after the DLC drops?

[versed quarry]

Or, if you so prefer ||HL3||

[frail bloom]

Ik it's the spear

[warm ibex]

This is a big reason why the widespread impatience makes little sense to me.

Do people genuinely not realize all of this time is being spent on DLC dev? And have they not considered that if the DLC were to release several months ago, it would be messy and unfinished? Like I don't get the thought process

[frail bloom]

But hear me out

What if it was the thing I mentioned months ago

[foggy fable]

But if release early we can complain its broken ;-;

[frail bloom]

throwing demons boi

[warm ibex]

Exactly!! Complain if they take their time, complain if it's rushed

[fresh lintel]

ugh.. don't remind me.. everyone was coked up on hopium for a HL3 teaser trailer or some shit at the game awards, im like "bro it's not gonna happen"

[foggy fable]

And hell with the sheer SCALE of dark ages maps im not even surprised its taking awhile like damn literally a single map is like 4 eternal maps combined

And not to mention the like 10000 demon placements per map

[frail bloom]

Hey they said exploration feels awesome and balanced and I'm glad to hear that

[versed quarry]

Eventually it will come. Patience is a virtue.

[frail bloom]

And Hugo keeps saying it feels so different so

[hard thistle]

I missed it, but clearly “throw” is the magic word. And the longer they cook and create the surprises, and let us discover those surprises as time goes on, then we’ll have a grand DLC!

[frail bloom]

So we can throw the shield

[obsidian shard]

You mind if I reword this and use this mate?

[versed quarry]

Explaining how the fuck the shieldsaw works

[foggy fable]

But what if we can also throw these hands?

[frail bloom]

And now the spear presumably

Me wanna throw fodders at other demons

Watch their ragdolls go weeeee

[fresh lintel]

oh im sure it'll happen at SOME POINT, but i think ultra aware human-computer hybrid blessed by god for the best beard Gabe Newell would rather put a fork in a garbage disposal than let HL3 be announced at the game awards

[harsh egret]

I wanna pickup barrels and throw them at demons

[hard thistle]

Damn skippy!

[frail bloom]

Both is good

[harsh egret]

Would be pretty funny

[frail bloom]

Just lay into that power fantasy

[versed quarry]

Gabe isn't involved with Valve all that much anymor

[frail bloom]

Would be the best combat period in the history of history

[hard thistle]

I can see Doomguy grabbing an Imp by the throat and YEETing into a horde of demons like he’s bowling!

[harsh egret]

Tho at this point make a doom immersive sim game

[frail bloom]

No no, we be bowling breh

[fresh lintel]

oh i know, im just making a Civvie11 reference, but yeah, i just doubt it'll be revealed or even teased at the Game Awards

[frail bloom]

We bowling demons

[solar cairn]

I wish the doomguy had the ability from the first trailer, where he crashes into the ground like a projectile

[harsh egret]

Well im heading to bed im tired as shit nighty night

[frail bloom]

G night

[versed quarry]

Those bowling alley screens but DOOM themed

[obsidian shard]

Night Big H

[frail bloom]

My ipad is abt to go night night bc I don't feel like charging it

[fresh lintel]

especially after a certain game decided to implode.. ._ .

[warm ibex]

go right ahead bro

[fresh lintel]

Highguard.. that game Geoff decided to shill and say it'll be the best hero shooter and all that

[versed quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/ohh-i-under-black-guy-gif-1247944034220562367

revamped berserk where doomguy boxes demons with his fists similar to spartan rage in the modern gow games?

[fresh lintel]

no hate to Geoff tho, but he really should've thought about it more before doing all that performative stuff on twitter..

[frail bloom]

Yes please

Ragdoll galore

Gimme

[fresh lintel]

love me some ragdoll physics

[frail bloom]

Yessir

[versed quarry]

GMod but DOOM

[fresh lintel]

i remember being like.. around 13, setting up these elaborate traps for NPC's to walk through just to see how far their bodies fly

safe to say

much air time, much ragdolling

The demons! they're in my head! you don't understand! it's the demons! -IShowSpeed

[solar cairn]

He doesn’t care about the game or the studio

The main thing is that the indicators of the audience grow and buy advertising

[fresh lintel]

well, i assume that HighGaurd paycheck is gonna last longer than the game now

[unkempt dragon]

y'all need to stop spamming this gif

[obsidian shard]

Sorry sorry

[fresh lintel]

what's the issue? it's just Speed, i assume, overreacting to something

[versed quarry]

I've seen people in a bunch of different servers posting ishowspeed GIFs

[obsidian shard]

Used too much (Gif Spamming)

[fresh lintel]

oh LM was being genuine.. ok that makes more sense

[unkempt dragon]

The issue is it's been posted about 30 times today and I keep having to delete half of them to not clog the channels

[fresh lintel]

i almost read that as 30 times a day, like.. who are these people spamming iShowSpeed in the doom discord 30 times a day??? XD

[obsidian shard]

SoaptoGo....

[versed quarry]

We're not that jobless

[fresh lintel]

[obsidian shard]

With Some of the DLC discussion I think we are lol

[elder raven]

https://tenor.com/view/stallipiano-gif-8633409668543310298

[solar cairn]

The spear as a long-range weapon sounds intriguing

So far, it’s not clear how it will come back...

[obsidian shard]

Dash to it or shield bash it to pick it up

[solar cairn]

Yes, there were such thoughts too, it would be cool if the average demons were nailed to the walls with this spear

Well, it would be convenient to have a separate button for long-range weapons

[spiral crow]

I still personally think it's the axe

[wintry forge]

Finally caught up… can’t believe Hugo went out like that on his second run💀Happens to the best of us

[warm steppe]

this ain't god of war lol. Did Hugo ever mention an axe anywhere?

[spiral crow]

Someone mentioned an axe in one of the streams and hugo said "interesting..." so i'm just going off that

[silver garnet]

Man I never thought nightmare difficulty would be this hard considering that I have beaten doom the dark ages on the previous difficulty's so then why am I dying so much

[knotty pewter]

Figured

[scenic lichen]

Late response but i think its because people are just so desensitized to having a lot of games to play, so it's easy to underestimate how long quality content actually takes to develop

Let them complain tbh, if they want to play something that was made with their "ideal" development timeframe then they can go play TAG2

[cobalt fog]

Soooo any new dlc news?

[obsidian shard]

#the-dark-ages message

[wide siren]

i need a hugo with the helmet emoji right now

[fading bone]

i love watching hugo rage at his own game

[hazy pasture]

Good ol Doom Eternal stream days

[foggy spoke]

Ughhh i wanna play doom at first rime again

[fading bone]

me wanting to play the DLC just for the feeling of playing a doom game for the first time again

[random sand]

It'll be one of the greatest moments here when it drops. I'm playing it the moment it drops

[fading bone]

same brother

as good as it feels to master the game and not even have to think about what youre doing, that first playthrough exploration and learning phase is just something that can never be matched

the pure joy and giddiness when i first shield bashed or shield saw combo'd something

[random sand]

TDA dropped at midnight for me and i played it until like 3am and loved every second of it. Safe to say i'mma do the same for this dlc

[ebon lynx]

It sounds like the new spear weapon might be a shield replacement

[cursive olive]

When’s the dlc?

[mystic barn]

I’m thinking you’re right. Might be able to swap between the spear and the shield, but the binds would otherwise be the same

[placid bough]

Realistically this DLC won’t be out until July tbh

[worldly musk]

Hey guys, haven't been on Discord in a while! Posting all my ripatorium encounters i've made now! Hope you all enjoy

[fading bone]

ill prolly try some of them

i will say though that i wish some of the preset makers could make some shorter ones. 13+ minutes on all of them is a lot. i do enjoy the shorter like 5 minute ones. makes them easier to try and test out a lot instead of needing like a whole hour to try even beating one preset

[worldly musk]

Noted!

[fading bone]

i like the themes you made for these ones tho

[modern badger]

You might have to change some of the thumbnails since gen ai isnt allowed

[worldly musk]

thanks for letting me know! removed the embeds of the gen ai thumbs 👍🏽

[uncut thistle]

I am planning to buy the dark ages but need to make sure how much of a disk space does it need so I can make room for it

[vapid lodge]

I like the long presets

If one is very difficult at the end and you die, it makes you grind the whole thing again, meaning more doom more metal more fun

At least thats just me

Sometimes I rage quit tho

[uncut thistle]

Can someone tell how big the dark ages is?

[worldly musk]

You need at least 100GB of space for Dark Ages

[uncut thistle]

ty :)

[split gate]

No way, we’re throwing the shield rahhh

[warped saffron]

Wow, so many new presets. Gonna be a fun night

[humble furnace]

Has anyone beat Sadistic without turning up game speed?

[worldly musk]

yessir

[humble furnace]

Without turning off melee/parry slow down?

Sadistic is so fucking annoying. Why is there a five minute timer.

I just wanna beat it on normal settings.

[worldly musk]

Wouldn't be called Sadistic if it wasn't stupid hard! 😂

[worldly musk]

And yeah! i play presets on default settings first and if I can beat it, i switch to my preferred settings

[humble furnace]

Thing is it's not even hard at all to beat, its just the timer is pure artificial difficulty. It forces you to play unsafe and pretty much gamble on projectiles bugging out and shit. Even when I get through everything everytime I run out of time on the last wave.

[worldly musk]

for those, i usually just use SSG/Heaven Splitter/Dreadmace combo, sometimes u gotta cheese to beat those kinds of things

[humble furnace]

It just feels lame to cheese it all.

Using the same stuff over and over again.

Anyone can beat it with just spamming shield bash, SSG, heaven splitter, and dreadmace.

[worldly musk]

you also don't have to play it 😛

[humble furnace]

Sorry, sue me for wanting other features in the game to be viable at high levels of play.

[worldly musk]

Lol relax, it's okay if you can't beat something. it's not the end of the world!

[fading bone]

sometimes its fine to go fast

its fun to have to speed up and try to get it all done quickly instead of having all the time in the world to beat it

[humble furnace]

I know I'm just not in a good headspace right now. Maybe I need breakfast.

I just wish they'd spawn faster. I'm spending like, seven whole seconds each wave waiting for them to spawn. I just managed a run where I killed all the champions and heavys on wave 5 and all that was left was those shield guys in the corner. I just run out of time while there are enemies I can literally kill in like, ten more seconds.

Not to mention that random fatass mancubus doing nothing in the corner all wave on round 3. I hate that guy so much.

[worldly musk]

Anyone else getting this glitch during some encounters where all enemies just despawn in Ripatorium?

I'm trying to do Plutonium's Wrath and all enemies keep despawning on the 3rd round

[elder raven]

yup

its more common than you think actually

[worldly musk]

Tends to happen when you're going really fast and theres a lot of enemies on the board

[alpine pilot]

Where doom

[harsh egret]

Well next update u will have a toggle for instant respawns

[stuck mountain]

do yall have present from compute on or off

[worldly musk]

On

[stuck mountain]

do more people with decent hardware run dark ages on handheld js so the fps shoots up to 100+ without fg and the input lag?

i cant play this game with fg the input lag js kills the fluidity

[worldly musk]

you mean Steam Deck? i don't have one of those, running Dark Ages on an RTX 5080, i9 Core 12900k, 64GB RAM

i can't really tell the diff between 2x 3x and 4x FG so i just keep it on 4x

[stuck mountain]

i mean running the handheld preset on pc

[worldly musk]

OHH lol i'm not sure about others but i've never tried the handheld preset, i get 400+ FPS on max settings no path tracing so no need

[green estuary]

Why don’t you just increase the time limit

[vapid lodge]

where is that doc that Sneaky wrote with the DLC summary?

@obsidian shard

help a brother out bro

[obsidian shard]

yo

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FdbLLjyz4xoto6AyutcgkoxggIWnbhW2Jnrf0f76OqE/edit?usp=sharing

[vapid lodge]

thanks, I thought it was another duplicate, I already had it but I thought its a an older version since I couldn't find the recent news from yesterday's stream

Also I'm looking forward for them to launch a 2016 helmet

Hugo said they we should make a petition or something

I would 100% buy that helmet

[karmic ferry]

whats ripatorium 2.0

i haven’t even touched it yet but it sounds cool in-game

[vapid lodge]

basically create custom waves of demons

[karmic ferry]

oh

is there a gamemode anywhere where it’s just constant infinite waves of demons

[vapid lodge]

yes, its the same one

[obsidian shard]

Yes there is an "Endless mode" option in the Setting for the ripatorium!

[karmic ferry]

good

[frosty roost]

any hints from the stream?

[obsidian shard]

#the-dark-ages message

[frosty roost]

ooooh ty jay!

[obsidian shard]

np!

[spiral crow]

Bro UN on TDA is scary

Not because it's hard but because if you die...you gotta restart the entire run over again knowing you have 22 chapters to get through

[solar cairn]

Finishing Move will most likely be returning to compose the OST. (Not Yet Confirmed-However hints from id Software and Finishing Move point to them returning)

Were there any hints?

[obsidian shard]

The Hints have been Finishing Move Interacting with the Community when people bring them up regarding them Composing the OST

Ofc, As said this Isn't Confirmation or anything but more of a be mindful

[worldly musk]

I actually need Finishing Move to come back for the DLC, same composers for the main game + DLC creates a cohesive vision rather than multiple composers interpretations of that vision (ala Eternal)

[pastel pebble]

Finishing Moves work on Dark Ages is phenomenal

[fresh lintel]

I know a lot of people didn't feel very fond of the OST, but me personally i really like, and since it's more "Structured" the music can be used more effectively when it comes to custom content like the Ripatorium

[strong moth]

I think most of the expressed displeasure about the soundtrack was coming from misplaced love for Mick

Not that he doesn’t deserve the love but more that those fans wouldn’t have liked ANY soundtrack if it wasn’t his

[fresh lintel]

true, but me, im just a general metal and rock lover, anything that gets me to feel like i can put up a fight against impossible odds will reel me in

call me basic, but eh it's just good music

[strong moth]

It’s a far less industrial style and one that I appreciate for its driving cinematic heaviness. I listen to it more than Eternal’s now haha

[fresh lintel]

can't say i disagree, 2016 and Eternal was made for the industrial styled work, but if wouldn't have fit with the Dark Ages

at least i don't think so

[solid nacelle]

Finishing move's music has a bit more of a groove to it which puts it over Mick's for me

[rotund rune]

@obsidian shard I just completed that community challenged you made

It took me a long time to do

And I was trying with 125% damage (me to demons)

[obsidian shard]

Which one?

[rotund rune]

The one which you made wave 5

[obsidian shard]

ohh Archdemons

[silver pawn]

There is no multiplayer but why would the devs make balance changes anyway?

[obsidian shard]

So the game is Balanced

[crude stratus]

holy shit how is this game so hard for me, but not eternal? like wtf

[fading bone]

different playstyles

what parts are difficult

[crude stratus]

the entire game

[fading bone]

upload a clip of your gameplay and i can help you figure out whats going wrong

[crude stratus]

i should probably just give up on this game tbh

i fail at literally everything i do in my life

[elder raven]

just turn the sliders down brother

[fading bone]

or you can just record some gameplay and i can help you

many possible options to find improvement and enjoyment

[hearty edge]

ya wouldn't like it if an encounter felt way too easy or with way too much going on would you

[silver pawn]

I could have just adjust the parameter sliders though. I’d go 110% game speed.

[stuck mountain]

what preset do yall play at???

[green estuary]

my defaults are 300% damage, projectile speed between 3 and 4 bars (I have a mod), 120 speed, and min parry window

[fading bone]

120% min parry

[obsidian shard]

Fun fact the Titan In Siege Pt 2 may still be alive

It's Eyes follow the Player

[idle swallow]

I actually found TDA to be harder than Eternal too lmao

[fresh lintel]

hey does anyone have any clue on how streamers do that whole "Chat controls what enemies i fight" thing? i'd like to try it someday for a stream

[split gate]

Something isn’t clicking, it will when you do

[warm ibex]

@silent surge I think you talked about this the other day, would you have any idea?

[fresh lintel]

i know i've seen it done on DOOM Eternal.. probably gonna have to wait a while for DOOM: The Dark Ages to get it but yeah, i'd love to do a stream where my chat or friends try to screw me over

also man, horde, we gotta talk more often, you've been on my friends list for a good while, would absolutely love to do a deep dive or just a random discussion, it doesn't even have to be recorded or whatever, i just wanna talk more doom stuff lol

[stray pollen]

I have an idea on what the "spear" weapon may be, because even though we generally agree that it's a spear, we don't know what kind of spear. So I'm calling it now and say my best guess is the Maykr type of spear since Doomguy has already occupied the Kreeds ship and probably unlocks it very early on or something 🤞

[opaque wind]

That'd be cool

Maybe it could be kinda like the Blood Maykr's spear

Aesthetic wise

[stray pollen]

Yeah I literally came to that conclusion like 10 minutes ago because I was appreciating the architecture of the first dragon level and came across a maykr angel statue with a spear and my mind just pogged

[opaque wind]

Aratum is so beautiful

I remember how mindblown I was seeing it for the first time

[stray pollen]

Dude honestly, I find myself agreeing with Maxor more and more on the fact that I lowkey feel bad playing the game sometimes because the action goes pretty fast sometimes that I end up skipping the scenery that this game offers

That's why we need a photo mode or a skybox mode because the work they put into the environments is such an unsung feat

[opaque wind]

Right

[fresh lintel]

Maxor is pretty based but yeah, before i "got good" i always told people that "I keep failing being cool in this game.. just like high school"

[worldly musk]

'I noticed that too! Very eerie after just blasting it to smithereens

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[solid nacelle]

Hey guys, it's me, Doom. I'm right here!

[fading bone]

oh my god it's JOHN DOOM

[violet zealot]

Any new things about doom the dark ages like the dlc???

[last geyser]

I heard demons are still pretty much evil

[worldly musk]

I heard we're gonna be able to throw things

[frosty roost]

throw and valen's dagger are the hints but that's it

[modest depot]

The Only Thing They Fear Is You

[twilit stone]

random question but were portal transitions just removed from the game, because I don't get them when I enter a portal and it looks super fucking jank lol

[fading bone]

could just be a bug

pretty sure they're there

[solid nacelle]

Definitely a new bug introduced in the latest patch, there's also a bug where those cosmic realm rings you shield bash through make no noise. On xbox at least

[twilit stone]

yeah I have that too with the rings. Maybe if I reinstall the entire thing they'll come back, if not hopefully they'll fix it in another patch or the DLC update. Thanks for letting me know guys

[solar spoke]

I heard we can throw Valen's dagger into 67 Komodos

[silent surge]

There’s a program called Crowd Control but that’s mostly for other games. i did see one streamer do it for classic, but it was custom made.

when i did it for eternal, was more like “disable this button, adjust this stat” with console commands.

for classic doom, it was by JeffD5, who made the base script, then my friend did custom scripting commands and when chat entered a command on twitch, it pressed a key on my keyboard which was bound to a script, to do an action/series of things

there was gonna be an official version with doom 2016 when stadia was a thing, but that was canned

who in particular has done it that you’re curious about?

[fresh lintel]

i just remember seeing a thumbnail where it said that chat was able to control enemy spawns, i'll see if i can find it

[silent surge]

yea i’m curious to see and could give more insight on it

[worldly musk]

@fresh lintel I played all your presets! really really fun!

[fresh lintel]

thank you! it means a lot that you and many others enjoy them! would you believe me if i said that by technical standards, these presets are basically my first time making custom arenas for any game? XD

[fresh lintel]

found it, it's not "Controlling" enemy spawns, more like adding challenge modifiers, may i dm you the link to the video?

[worldly musk]

wouldn't believe it if you didn't tell me! they're a good blend of chaos and decision making 👍🏽

[silent surge]

ya def link it

[fresh lintel]

sent the link your way

[silent surge]

ty can’t watch yet but i’ll keep an eye on it

yeah! that’s the guy i was referring to actually

[fresh lintel]

lol, thanks, more presets are coming soon, feel free to drop by my twitch whenever i go live, i try to do deep dives into the thought process on making these presets

[fresh lintel]

oh really? nice, any idea how he did that? it'd be an interesting thing to try on a stream for DOOM Eternal someday

[silent surge]

i can check it out sometime to see again and refresh

[fresh lintel]

thanks man! take your time!

[hard thistle]

Father Allstin in chat? Hell yeah!

How are you lovely Slayers doing?

[fresh lintel]

I'm doing okay ^^

planning out new preset ideas and names for the ripatorium

[chilly needle]

Today I think is a good day for pandemonium run and some box car racer

[final dune]

has anyones game been running badly recently? i started getting stuttering and i ran all the checks on my pc and nothing is wrong. runs the same way on my steam deck too

[fresh lintel]

that's strange

i personally haven't had any problems... have you tried validating game files?

@final dune if you've tried validating, you can also try (if you do this) removing your launch properties

sometimes launch settings can bug out and make the game confused which could cause lag in some cases

[final dune]

yeah im playing a game with my friends rn but ill do that later

i know FOR SURE nothing is wrong with my pc

[fresh lintel]

no worries! @ me if anything happens when you try fixing it

[raven pilot]

i'm not sure if i'm the first one to say something like this but
if after the crucible we get some kind of "Doom Greatsword" I'm gonna go feral

like a big ass medieval two handed sword

[slate lichen]

disappointed the ||aggadon hunter|| was wack compared to maurader

like wildly. the maurader was an absolulte TANK the first time you faced him. Sure, they could have done a better job explaining his mechanics, but still. but the ||hunter|| you dont even have to cheese. just do what it says and SS him to the face

[stuck basalt]

😭

[slate lichen]

like who thought this was worthy of calling the maurader of TDA

[fleet spruce]

behaviour is definitely very similar so there's that

[obsidian shard]

The Agaddon has a LOT more health

[slate lichen]

saying "its like a maurader" is one thing. But statements like "its the maurader of TDA" is another.

i guess the should have taken the concept, and made it fresh enough to where it was still frustrating. you can approach this identically to the marauder and you are fine. its like eternal spoiled this enemy

[chilly needle]

Why are there words blanked out

[stuck basalt]

nah fr blurring them out like trigger words

[chilly needle]

Its super silly

Either way both the maurader and the aggadon were super dope

[green estuary]

Isn’t that just the marauder in eternal though lol, just super shotgun to the face?

Like the only things that can make him even remotely tricky are the bugginess and the fact that he reacts to enemy fire—take those two things away and he literally becomes a pushover

[slate lichen]

I forget the game has been out forever. I just started

I mean, maurader also has an attack trigger (the dogs) and he covered distance quickly.

He was an enigma to figure out for a lot of people.

I guess I viewed Hugo's statements more to be "on the level of" not "lore specific copy of"

The hunter didn't feel like you had to crack him out figure him out in any way

[violet zealot]

What will happen to me if theoretically, I ate the fridge...

again

[solar spoke]

Idk, I guess you'd be pretty cool

[frail bloom]

Hugo just said interesting to a comment talking abt the spear shishkabbabing demons

Shishkebab mechanic boiiisss

[hearty edge]

i mean i'd say it's the closest we have to a marauder in tda

like both have a shield that force you to get close and personal to stagger them and pump them full of shells

and they dash

[hearty edge]

the humble tda ssg being able to one shot every enemy in eternal:

but yea even if we were to like level out the stats i still think the aggadon takes a bit more to kill

actually does anyone have like the health and damage stats for the weapons and enemies

[obsidian shard]

Yes Katsu does

The Agaddon has like 106k

[frail bloom]

Ok ig we skipping over demon kebab

[obsidian shard]

What

[frail bloom]

Look on Horde's channel and scroll until you find a comment mentioning the spear going through multiple demons

In the replies

Hugo said interesting

[hearty edge]

holy

how much does the cyberdemon have then

[glacial flame]

When dlc?

It’s been too long without new content

[green estuary]

it never gets old

[green estuary]

ye I can dm them to you if you want

[warm ibex]

*act like multiple things, not go through multiple things

[hearty edge]

sure

[hearty edge]

tomorrow

[shy comet]

Does anyone else have game crashing on 10th and 20th chapters on ryzen with 2 ccx (i have 5950x) when both of them enabled?

[shy comet]

only way to avoid it is to just disable one ccx on cpu

idk what causes that

[brittle finch]

I don’t have that CPU, so I couldn’t tell you

But I can download it and see how it runs on my system tho

It’ll take like 15 minutes to download back

[shy comet]

What specs do you have?

Mine are:

5950x
32 gb 3733 mhz cl14 (i'll tell right away: issue is not oc-related)
rx 7800 xt (no matter of drivers: tested on 25.6.1 and newer, also on 26.x.x i have stuttering too as it was mentioned by someone on reddit)

[brittle finch]

9800X3D, 32 GBs DDR5 6000 CL 36 and a 9070 XT

:33

[shy comet]

Yeah, i doubt it'll crash on your one, but still please check

[brittle finch]

Ight

Gimme 15 minutes

[shy comet]

sure

and btw: crash happens randomly on mentioned levels after 10-20 minutes

[brittle finch]

That’s oddly specific lmfao

[shy comet]

it's not overheating either - gpu hotspot was 80-85 at max

[brittle finch]

Mb I lied :p

It’ll take about 11 minutes actually

[shy comet]

ok

[brittle finch]

My internet is surprisingly fast somehow

[shy comet]

[brittle finch]

Apparently your CPU and mobo have a lot to do with download speed

No clue why cus I’m not a giant nerd

[shy comet]

What line speed do you have?

Because your pc is not bottlenecking your net speed, i can assure you

[brittle finch]

Nono my old PC was tho 💀

My new one most definitely is not

[shy comet]

Exactly

[brittle finch]

2 more minutes and it’s done

My download speed caps out around 1.1 GigaBits per second lol

[shy comet]

tyler1 driving sound

[brittle finch]

Okay soooo I’m not quite at level 10 yet on my current playthrough

But considering that I get 80 FPS as a minimum and like 95 average I don’t think it’s crashing lol

[shy comet]

I have same fps in native fsr 1080p

[brittle finch]

Damn 😭

I thought the 7800 XT was better

The name makes it sound better idk man

It’s a great GPU tho still

I just got bamboozled by the name

[shy comet]

You play in 2k?

[brittle finch]

Ye

[shy comet]

No wonder

[brittle finch]

1440P XeSS Native AA max settings

[shy comet]

Of course it'll be heavier

[brittle finch]

Tbh the optimization in this game is godly

[shy comet]

mine will have around 60

[brittle finch]

Not bad tbh

[shy comet]

Not when you have 240 hz monitor

[brittle finch]

Mine fluctuates between low 80s and high 100s/110s

Depending on how much shit is happening

[brittle finch]

Been there before

Only worse

RTX 5050 laptop with a 240 Hz OLED 😭

[shy comet]

oof

[brittle finch]

I’m so glad I upgraded cus my new system is 2-3X as fast in every game

[shy comet]

Good for you

[brittle finch]

Thank you

I hope ur issue gets resolved

[shy comet]

We'll see

[brittle finch]

Maybe try undervolting idk

[shy comet]

cpu is not overheating either

[brittle finch]

Well yeah

[shy comet]

70-75 degrees

[brittle finch]

But it might be unstable

[brittle finch]

My case and fans are insane, so my temps stay in the 50s and rarely hit 60+

Absolute peak

[shy comet]

Other games run without any trouble

[brittle finch]

Weird

[shy comet]

Maybe in the last update something was broken, because it didn't crash on release

[brittle finch]

Maybe there’s something specific in those levels that’s making you crash

No clue how you’d find that out tho lol

[shy comet]

I didn't - just came out of nowhere

[brittle finch]

I mean like maybe there’s a specific trigger idk

You could make crash logs

If it bothers you that much ofc

[shy comet]

Guess, i'll wait for next update

when dlc comes out, should be something

Like stutters on amd gpus with latest drivers i mentioned before

[knotty pewter]

Tbh I don’t have any stutters

Could just be a CPU issue idk

[last geyser]

When did they start development for the dlc

[fading bone]

pretty sure like right after the main game was released

if not already slightly before that

[fading bone]

how much damage does a whiplash red cross projectile do?

[fresh lintel]

it depends on difficulty, i play on Ultra Violence so it does a lot, can't give a specific number but i think between like 70 - 90??

[fading bone]

im playing on UN

it apparently does an absurd amount of damage because i was on 103 health 3 armor and i got one shot by one

[fresh lintel]

yup sounds about right

[fading bone]

absolute insanity

[fresh lintel]

you can always turn down the damage to player slider, in the words of Max0r, "it's fine man, we're all busy"

[frail bloom]

Nvm idk where I saw "through" in that mb

[fading bone]

im not turning down sliders lol

[green estuary]

100 damage on 250%

So you probably got hit by it and something else in quick succession, because even if it dealt 200 damage death protection would still kick in

[fading bone]

this is what happened

i cant imagine what else other than the cross hit me

i even hear the woowoo

[green estuary]

you got hit by something else right before the projectile made contact

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1389644177762947115/1492920411816722702/vlcsnap-2026-04-12-11h12m01s918.png?ex=69dd15fb&is=69dbc47b&hm=18bddc79c3951955b921a640ddc4e6b2bc72a0c65b22eb7f99e4b1e8c7156c24

unlucky

whatever the other attack was dropped you below the death protection threshold, brutal

[fading bone]

[elder raven]

hi katsu and horde

[obsidian shard]

Bro really hit the

I personally use the "Standard" one since I like seeing The Slayer in all his Blue Holographic Glory (One of the best things TDA added was the return of the face)

But the classic is of course awesome AND they made a Zombie version for it too is freaking sick

[slender night]

I love the classic face but I think it's too distracting in TDA. Doesn't match the rest of what's on screen at all 😔

[obsidian shard]

Just glad it's an option (People who pick none should be Banned)
-# I'm joking

[idle swallow]

most accurate description of TDA Revenant that I've ever seen

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/465235452148842518/1492934195738317021/image.png?ex=69dd22d1&is=69dbd151&hm=03bb71bf786e03d51087712767bdf479952765628c814d688ade4bab780e24f2&

[warm ibex]

I also use standard, it fits the UI style a lot better

I've said this before but I hope the HUD face is at least an option in every Doom title going forward. Those classic status bar faces are so distinctly id Software

[hard mesa]

is there slayer's club this thursday?

[hazy pasture]

yeah very likely

[harsh egret]

yeah and they are doing UN every stream until he beats it, only then can Hugo release the dlc

[worldly musk]

Kar En Tuk.

[serene schooner]

dark ages un should be easy

hugo can do it in a few tries

he is really good

[worldly musk]

until you get to Enhanced Azhrak

[serene schooner]

even easier

[worldly musk]

😂
