[warm ibex]

I don't think it would even make sense for the dlc to have the 2016 praetor suit

[dusk robin]

imagine if it was the end cutscene from Doom 1 of the grassy hill then turning towards a burning city with Daisy's head on a stick but its a flashback.

[gloomy vortex]

I kinda based this guess on like, the "armor" teaser word from a while back

[dusk robin]

hell even the new weapon laying on the ground would be enough

[warm ibex]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a teaser for the Wretch since "armor" is all we know about them.

It seems like they want to make more medieval Doom games if they get the chance, so it wouldn't make too much sense for him to get the Praetor suit in the DLC and then change his armor again in the next medieval game(s)

[gloomy vortex]

True....

[rapid lotus]

Let face it, the juicy nugget is gonna be the Arch vile

[versed quarry]

“Let’s face it” as if the archvile reveal wouldn’t be peak.

[rapid lotus]

BRING BACK OG ARCH VILE !!!!!!!!

[final dune]

people from birmingham will see a cosmic baron and go "odd bloke that one"

[hearty edge]

alright if you count sliders 500% damage to slayer, 50% damage to demons and 150% game speed might be doom at its hardest

[elder raven]

as someone who beat the game like this it is as bad as it sounds

[gloomy vortex]

5 MINUTES

[dusk robin]

would be cool if they said "spicy nugget" to give some thought as to it being the Archvile

[wide siren]

2d sprite archvile in tda gonna be peak

[gloomy vortex]

Has it started

[dusk robin]

not yet

[obsidian shard]

it will any minute now

[gloomy vortex]

Oh it did

[last geyser]

Do you think they will reveal it before or after the gameplay

[obsidian shard]

Most likely after

[gloomy vortex]

Yeah most definitely after

[dusk robin]

after

[warm ibex]

the first reveal was before gameplay started iirc

the frozen hell concept art

[frosty roost]

to be fair they'll reveal either before or after gameplay

[solid nacelle]

Like 800 viewers on youtube, a bit more than normal right

[gloomy vortex]

Im honestly fine with both options

[obsidian shard]

true

[solar spoke]

By stream standards it's pretty big

[gloomy vortex]

IT BEGAN

[solid nacelle]

I think normally it's around 300

[dusk robin]

would love to be able to fight a titan without a mech

[solar spoke]

250-300 normally

[dusk robin]

and not a stationary minigun

[gloomy vortex]

[gloomy vortex]

Full on tweaking rn

[frosty pine]

He met Andrew huh

[dusk robin]

Hugo wants a DOOM Movie!

[frosty pine]

I would prefer a series but yeah a movie that has Hugo involved sounds good

And Andrew on the soundtrack would be ball

LIVE ACTION 2016 TRAILER MENTIONED

[last geyser]

Hugo agrees that an animated doom is better than live action doom

[solar spoke]

we going to Universal to demand the release of Doom

[gloomy vortex]

Yes

[sharp apex]

OMG

[graceful rivet]

[solar spoke]

Komodo mentioned

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-the-dark-ages-demon-komodo-komodo-dragon-gif-2303012859308141566

[gloomy vortex]

That wasn't for the dlc right?

[gleaming vortex]

have we gotten the nugget yet? I had stuff to do I dont want to miss it.

[solar spoke]

No

[frosty pine]

Kinda weird it took them till the stream for them to mention the doom and 2 music being put on Spotify

Still cool tho

[frosty roost]

not yet

[solid nacelle]

So it sounds like they've changed the melee charge icons so that rather than displaying as tear drops, it's now an icon for the current selected melee

[dusk robin]

damn Purple Goo is the nugget

jk

[vapid lodge]

did they say the nugget?

I missed the first hour and 20 mins

[dusk robin]

yeah its the return of purple goo

[uneven dragon]

[graceful rivet]

Oh?

[uneven dragon]

first guy to repost what the nugget is here gets 5 billion dollars

ohh shit i have the eternal tubbz but the dark ages one looks way cooler

[gloomy vortex]

That wasn't spamming but hype

[orchid rover]

Man how has nobody else had an issue with the buffering in this game

This game overbuffers the shit out of the melee to where it feels laggy to play

[elder raven]

Are You Ready For The Nugget..?

[solar spoke]

It's time...

[frosty roost]

I'm so ready

[uneven dragon]

are they gonna reveal what the art is

Title gotta be TDA: The Nine Circles, each circle has a distinct theme as we take down Hell’s council

[gloomy vortex]

Is this the only nugget we're getting or

[brave wraith]

we got a couple others

[solid nacelle]

So the ice level is called Hell's core apparently

[last geyser]

Hell’s core

[hearty edge]

apparently hell's core is frozen and there's a beating heart residing there that's of interest for the khan maykr

does anyone remember who he said made the concept art?

I'll never forgive Asscrack for cutting the cyberdemon's wing tendons.
Imagine fighting flying cyberdemons

[frosty roost]

no, my brain is like a sieve

I can’t see what suit he’s wearing

[last geyser]

[gloomy vortex]

Its the base armor

It would be cool if a new armor was given at the beginning of the dlc

Because there is a cloak?

TDA Anniversary Stream DLC Hints:

New DLC Concept Art - The name of the level is “Osseus” but it’s internally labeled “Bone Hell” and it’s a brand new biome for DOOM.

The previous Ice Hell concept art is called “Hell’s Core”

Beneath the frozen tundra of Hell’s core is petrified flesh and bone, and beneath that lies the beating heart of Hell where the darkest essence flows in its purest form. Khan Maykr is interested in that dark essence.

Was “heavy on the lore” this week for the team, putting a lot of that into the game.

Ripatorium 3.0 will have an entire new tab for saved encounters.

They’re shortening the length of encounter codes for easier sharing.

Tons of new Ripatorium 3.0 Arenas and Enemies. Unlocking tools and fighting enemies in the DLC allows you to use them in the Ripatorium.

The melee charge UI indicators below the HUD will be shaped like the melee weapon you have equipped, making it easier to tell what you have equipped at a glance.

The DLC UI has a lot more to it.

[graceful rivet]

Lets go!

[versed quarry]

As much as it was cool to hear all this, I kinda wish I didn't. Its making it harder to wait.

[modern badger]

good stream

Was Hugo being fr about the cyberdemons getting a new wing attack cuz Id love that

[elder raven]

ayup

[modern badger]

peak

[frail bloom]

Hey horde did they say enemies as in plural?

Dumb question ik

But it could be campaign enemies too

[harsh egret]

small correction, Hugo said they wont be calling it ripatorium 3.0

[green estuary]

The backbone (pun intended) of the attack is already in the game files

[inner haven]

Wouldn't it be great if they somehow made a roguelite mode for this game?

[warm ibex]

did he not say, almost word for word, "I guess we're calling it Ripatorium 3.0"

[harsh egret]

at least not the ripatorium update that will come with the dlc

im 100% sure he did not, ill check again

[umbral flint]

would the DLC be sold seperatly from the premuim upgrade or will you only be able to get it from the upgrade?

im talking about like when the dlc is released

[green estuary]

Separately

Or you could just get the premium upgrade and have the dlc along with the art book stuff

[umbral flint]

yea

[warm ibex]

why would it be sold separately?

[umbral flint]

well they did it for eternal so maybe for the dark ages

[warm ibex]

Eternal made since as it was two expansions, this is just one with small bonus content (three divinity skins and the artbook app)

[green estuary]

I mean separately in that you would have the option to buy the dlc without the premium edition

[warm ibex]

yea I get you, I just don't think that makes too much sense personally 🤔

[harsh egret]

thought he said "guess we're not calling it 3.0", my fault, you're right

[stuck basalt]

we are close

bro said 100% sure smh

[warm ibex]

we ALL make mistakes bro

[vapid lodge]

I dont know, I feel like they overhyped this nugget

[harsh egret]

i already said dont get ur hopes up

[green estuary]

Bruh if you don’t think a hell made of bones is the coolest shit imaginable then idek what to tell ya

[frail bloom]

So wait did he say dlc enemies as in plural

[harsh egret]

it was a concept art like i thought, cuz that i felt like is the most realistic expectation

[warm ibex]

they absolutely did not lol

[stuck basalt]

june is close guys or we get lucky idk but hell theyre oworkgjb'

[harsh egret]

anyone dissapointed overhyped it themselves

[stuck basalt]

working*

[frail bloom]

Bro it looks like kadingir how could you not be hyped

[harsh egret]

also the nuggets today were pretty hype

[final dune]

holy shit the concept art reminds me of trench crusade or hell in 2016

cool as hell, well literally i guess

[frail bloom]

KADINGIR SANCTUM

[warm ibex]

genuinely the on-stream setup was "we're doing a show not tell nugget and it's not a trailer or keyart"

any overhyping is entirely on you I'm sorry bro 😭

[modern badger]

doom the bone temple is real

[warm ibex]

true!!

[stuck basalt]

dlc releases 28 years later

[frail bloom]

Boi we're unlocking multiple enemies lets gooooo

That sounds sooo wicked

[final dune]

concept art also reminds me a bit of scorn

[vapid lodge]

I wasnt really overhyped, but I feel like they've overhyped this nugget since last week

[versed quarry]

This ID we're talking about, not Valve.

[warm ibex]

who is "they"

[frosty roost]

???

[vapid lodge]

Hugo and Josh

[stuck basalt]

well imma wait for hordes video and next weeks stream if theres one and play some more pokemon

[frosty pine]

Tbh I knew from the start it was gonna be concept art

[harsh egret]

what did they say that overhyped it

[warm ibex]

aight this is silly, I don't have time for this 🥀 got videos to make

[harsh egret]

literally just said "juicy nugget"

[harsh egret]

do it brotha

[frosty roost]

well I'm gonna go play TDA or 2016

[modern badger]

ive been replaying 2016 and the imps are ridicously brutal dude

[stuck basalt]

idk why people are expecting a trailer they literally said so many streams theyre still working on it
they sound hella close tho so like wait a month or a few weeks?

[frosty pine]

It's pretty big imo since we haven't gotten any concept art since the first nugget

This is our second ever visual look at the dlc

[modern badger]

a baron doesnt compare to a stray fireball from some imp across the arena

[frosty pine]

Seems pretty important to me

[harsh egret]

we even got some more lore info about both pieces of concept art as well

[final dune]

the new hell concept art is REALLY cool but i do want some more cosmic realm levels

I have backup goo hidden in the attic

That sounds wrong

[frosty pine]

Speaking of concept art I was just looking through the art book and noticed a piece of art for an area that looks like the blood swamps

[gleaming vortex]

hi i’m mr cosmic realm you will be seeing more of me

[final dune]

yayyy

[versed quarry]

Eternal or Dark Ages

[frosty pine]

Dark ages

[versed quarry]

Weird

[harsh egret]

its just concept art of the forsaken plains

[gleaming vortex]

probably one of the pieces for chapter 10. in the background of the aggaddon hunter art

[frosty pine]

It's set in hell since you can see the tower in the background

[harsh egret]

but yeah it looks a bit like blood swamps

[frosty roost]

it's just forsaken plains concept art

[gleaming vortex]

it is the same area it’s just not green ingame. color!

this wasn’t directed at hato specifically just clarifying

[frosty pine]

Yeah I think it was just an arena in one of the hell levels I must have forgotten about

[split gate]

a revenant got loose

It's one of the best I've seen hands down

Look at the uniqueness

Kadingir vibes yet classic doom feel

[spiral crow]

I'm so glad we are getting more biomes in Hell because i was slightly disapointed with us visiting another hell that's red in the base game

[hearty edge]

exactly what i thought

[frail bloom]

Man it's gonna look so good when we play it

[hearty edge]

it also reminded me of e3m2 with all of the spikes that kinda look like hands

The bones sticking up remind me of the spikes.

I can't even begin to imagine the other locations we are heading to

i love classic doom and i love tda, this feels like a blessing from the gods

Because never in my mind i thought to myself that we should explore a location like that

Okay

[split gate]

Where did all the bones come from I wonder…

[frail bloom]

Majestic

[final dune]

definitely reminds me of scorn tho also

[spiral crow]

It's called Osseus

[frail bloom]

Ik usually the concept art looks better than the final level bc of hand drawn stuff as a medium but this level has everything it needs to be perfect

Like the enviroment is just perfect

[spiral crow]

Makes you wonder about the other levels

[frail bloom]

Man don't get me started

This dlc boutta make me add another 200 hours

Dude i knew we were gunna go to places beyond but this is just....

Sneaky rn

[vapid lodge]

No pun intended? xD

[errant osprey]

I agree with you
This concept art gives me a very good feeling.
From now on, I think that this stage will become one of my favorite stages (this also happened after seeing the concept art of UAC Atlantic).
I can't wait to experience this stage

[frail bloom]

Yes I do think this will be on the level of uac atlantica

This is one of these great ones

[neon perch]

So what was the nugget for today's stream?

[frail bloom]

Kadingir sanctum but better

[spiral crow]

We got a concept art

[frail bloom]

RAAAHH

[neon perch]

Where?

[frail bloom]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1490925064470921288/1504629046485581996/image.png?ex=6a07ae7f&is=6a065cff&hm=60d66765c52e91892b60772035c6a30866bf6e34a5790665c8ff0b93ce9db7b7&

[neon perch]

Spoonfeed me please. I'm babby.

Ohhhh okay that's killer.

[hearty edge]

if the music is on point it might become my new blood swamps

[frail bloom]

Fm cooked once they'll cook again

Ik this boutta slap

[errant osprey]

I will be looking forward to experiencing it.
We will have to wait.

[neon perch]

I'm not sure I see the Kadingir influence.

[spiral crow]

The name of the level is “Osseus”

[neon perch]

2016 hell was kinda samey.

This wipes the floor with it.

[frail bloom]

It's the closest level it looks similar to ig

Yellow fog, ancient rock

Besides that ye it's 100 times better

Do you see the classic doom influence?

[spiral crow]

Honestly this might be a hot take but TDA's hell levels were honestly the most disapointing parts about TDA for me

[frail bloom]

I'd say the last one was a home run

Forsaken plains was a nice introductory level

Harbor of souls was amazing

Then hellbreaker...

Not as cool

[vapid lodge]

Infernal Chasm is literally peak

[spiral crow]

The harbor of souls one was the only level in hell that was honestly a nice change from constantly seeing red

[frail bloom]

I liked the more classic feel it had

Volcanoes, lava and red

Not classic doom btw, just biblical hell

[vapid lodge]

The levels are great, I dont know of any bad DOOM levels in any modern DOOM game

[spiral crow]

My reasoning comes from the fact that the blood swamps was the best hell level because it was different and it wasn't just lava and fire everywhere with alot of red

It was one of my personal favorites

[vapid lodge]

Blood Swamps was the hardest too

[frail bloom]

No that's fair but that's an exceptional hell level

We're talking abt hell levels in general

This base tda batch was pretty good

[spiral crow]

So i was hoping with TDA they would go in that direction and make us explore more levels like that

[frail bloom]

We did with harbor of souls, and the cosmic realm is hellish but in a different way when you think abt it

I like lasagna hell tho I like to revisit it now and then

[obsidian shard]

Doc Is updated

with a New Section!

[errant osprey]

And this stage might even be able to cross the blood swamp

[obsidian shard]

(Concept Art)

[spiral crow]

Yeah i can understand, but i'm happy about the DLC hell locations from the snow biome to the bone biome it makes me happy

[frail bloom]

Ye we got TWO unique location so far, we are eating

Snow hell is gonna be awesome

[spiral crow]

We are really eating

[frail bloom]

Nuggets? These are tully's tenders my guy

This is the real deal

[inner haven]

I wish they would make another Doom game where you're just a marine and you're trying to survive again.
My hot take is that they've gone on long enough with the power fantasy they've started with Doom 2016.

[frail bloom]

We graduating from nuggets

[harsh egret]

Hugo said they will also share more as time goes on

[spiral crow]

Now that's a hot take lol

[frail bloom]

You gotta understand that they've built a fanbase around this past formula and it would be very hard to get a lot of ppl on board

It is a fun premise

[vapid lodge]

they've explained this on last week's stream

[frail bloom]

But

Times have changed

[inner haven]

how far can they take the current power fantasy?

[vapid lodge]

They didn't say they can't but they wont because gaming industry is at a really high level when it comes to design, graphics and features.

It can't just be like DOOM 1 / 2 with just updated graphics

[frail bloom]

Prob one more game

[versed quarry]

Bro we're just eating an entire bird.

What kind of game would you imagine if you are putting yourself in their place?

like what would the game be like ?

[frail bloom]

Ye what would make the most money

[vapid lodge]

Bruh

[versed quarry]

An entire thanksgiving dinner

[frail bloom]

[vapid lodge]

Petition to add daisy the DLC...

[warm iris]

Herro

[frail bloom]

Herro

[obsidian shard]

I rememeber when you thought it was mid lol

[frail bloom]

Oh man that was a while ago

I remember like it was yesterday

[weak gust]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-shades-omg-cant-believe-gif-10277190

[frail bloom]

I listened to the whole ozt when it came out before playing the game

[weak gust]

That's beautiful

[frail bloom]

And I was dissapointed for some reason

But then I kept listening

[weak gust]

It really reminds me of 80s dark fantasy stuff

[frail bloom]

And then I found the groove of what I was hearing

[spiral crow]

You thought it was mid!?!

[weak gust]

Which is awesome

[frail bloom]

Ik ik

Tbf I was respectful abt it

[weak gust]

Also, this sorta gives me a feeling that they're tying this into 2016 Hell cuz of the color choices and presence of lots of bones

[spiral crow]

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

[frail bloom]

I'M SORRY

[vapid lodge]

I dont know why you would do that, since I believe that listening to OST while playing the game is the best thing because the atmosphere + gameplay + those riffs combined will definitely leave an impression.

When you will listen to a specific soundtrack, it will remind you of that level

Like Infernal Chasm

[frail bloom]

Ye I couldn't wait

I remember one of my complaints

[vapid lodge]

fair point

[weak gust]

Oh shit!!

You're totally right

[frail bloom]

Was that it sounded too samey and that I couldn't distinguish them

But at the same time I remember listing 8 tracks I thought were pretty good

So I was being contradictory

It was a weird feeling

[weak gust]

Bone Hell sounds awesome, reminds me of some of the darker Hell maps from 2016's multiplayer

Imagine if they brought back Hell Guards for that or smth crazy

[vapid lodge]

I wouldnt be surprised if they used bones for the OST

[versed quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/hawk-eye-dont-give-me-hope-clint-barton-avengers-gif-14260447

[vapid lodge]

That would go SO HARD

[inner haven]

I'd like to see a Doom game in the style of Doom 3 or Doom 64 and as you play you can find survivors (a.i. or human) and stick together, eventually forming a command hierarchy once you reach a certain level of other members.
The game would take place in a huge persistent world like Star Citizen. You can form your own hub areas via base-building. You can also take on missions to kill off the forces of hell in critical areas. The number of ideas I have probably exceeds the level of tech that consoles are currently incapable of.

[vapid lodge]

So basically the failed DOOM 4 ?

[uneven dragon]

i want another doom 3

[inner haven]

Wasn't that game just CoD with demons?

[split gate]

FM about to take out a xylophone made out of bones or something

[vapid lodge]

The atmosphere isn't bad but what about the gameplay loop?

[vapid lodge]

EXACTLY

[vapid lodge]

yes

[frail bloom]

Mick already did that didn't he?

Bones from human remains

Breh fm gotta do that too

[vapid lodge]

For real?

[frail bloom]

Yes if I'm not mistaken

[weak gust]

I hope Osseus gets that Kadingr Sanctum kinda feeling ingame

[frail bloom]

For the gladiator song

[split gate]

I think of Steel Beyond the Grave for this art for some reason, the ost sounds perfect for it

[frail bloom]

I think damnation from 2016

[fading osprey]

Hey, what song plays when you fight that one pinky rider boss?

[weak gust]

Same here

[frail bloom]

Atlan battlegrounds

[fading osprey]

You sure?

[frail bloom]

Ye but it's prob not in the official ost

[fading osprey]

With the white pinky rider

[frail bloom]

I'm assuming it sounds bassy?

[fading osprey]

Yk what I’m saying?

[frail bloom]

And chunky?

[weak gust]

Honestly, I'd love if the music during that level took a book straight out of 2016 Hell, with all the muddy bass guitars and choirs

[fading osprey]

I’ll show you

[frail bloom]

The pinky rider boss is in level 2

Atlan battlegrounds

[fading osprey]

Look in videos

[frail bloom]

So it's definetly in that song

[vapid lodge]

Best nugget would be if they could say:

We brought back Mick Gordon to collab with Finishing Move

[frail bloom]

Ohhhh

This is theomacy

This one is gnarly

[mystic barn]

That would be sick, but lets not get our hopes up lol

[vapid lodge]

ye ur right

[fading osprey]

It’s called theomacy?

[frail bloom]

Ye

[fading osprey]

Ah

[spiral crow]

For me the song for that level would be.... persuit of demons or Harbinger

[versed quarry]

I'm just thinking of that one time you were describing Dark Ages music and used the term "raunchy" lmao

[frail bloom]

Oh my god I remember

Horrible misusage

[spiral crow]

English ain't my first lanugange but tf does "raunchy" mean?

[frail bloom]

Uh oh

[versed quarry]

Here we go again

[unkempt dragon]

lol

ofc as soon as I look in

[spiral crow]

I'm so confused did i walk into something with that message?

[frail bloom]

Sorry Lm

You don't need to know

[unkempt dragon]

you're fine

What'd everyone think of the stream today?

[spiral crow]

Honestly it was great

[frail bloom]

One of the best

Amazing

[harsh egret]

very cool stuff, hella fun stream

[versed quarry]

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

[inner haven]

The gameplay is open-world exploration with locations having different types of storytelling (environmental, NPC dialog, recorded logs, etc...). The combat is similar to Doom 3's except you can only carry so much gear; you're a marine, not doomguy. As you explore locations, you can find vehicles you can use and take back with you to your hub location. In this aspect, it's like Sons of the Forest.

This is just a small example of one way to play.

[vapid lodge]

Got it, well I understand the story, but this feels more like Fallout or Rage

[inner haven]

Have you ever played Star Citizen?

[vapid lodge]

I did not, but I know you've mentioned it

[inner haven]

To begin to understand the scope of the game world that I'm talking about, you should check it out. No other game has a world that's as big and ambitious as that game's.

The Doom I envision isn't some linear game.

or some small open-world game.

[wooden acorn]

[inner haven]

It does have elements from Fallout and Rage like exploration and vehicles, but the way you explore and accomplish things makes a difference to not only yourself but the world as well.

Like if you liberate areas with resources that are under the control of hell's forces, you can use those resources for yourself and your allies to gain a foothold or an advantage.

[split gate]

I rate it 10/10 on imdb

[foggy fable]

Just a reminder this is for #the-dark-ages chat

Other games chat is #general or future doom speculation game/ wants #the-future

[pastel pebble]

I can't get over how good this looks. The environment looks so disturbing in the best way possible. I hope the lighting stays the same for when we play in game, the yellowish tint is the cherry on top imo

It honestly looks like a setup for a boss fight. I can see the castle belonging to one of the high council members

[frosty roost]

stream was amazing, loved it!!

[compact adder]

This reminds me so much of the Dead Plains in Darksiders 2, and this is even BETTER!!!

[weak gust]

I could easily imagine those towers acting as a wizard tower for one of the council members

Maybe the guy with the tall head

As weird as the ending was, it really reminds me of the finale to Stranger Things Season 5

Having bones and sand together like that

[weak gust]

A boss fight at the top of a dark tower would go so hard, I'm kinda envisioning what the higher levels of the Geonosian factories from Star Wars look like

[versed quarry]

So Davoth's fight if it wasn't mid

[last geyser]

Wizard eh?

[weak gust]

true

[weak gust]

Yeah! This bloke

Exactly the vibe

I wish I could send images here, cuz I need to show the thing I'm referring to

[pure skiff]

ya ya boyyy

Same here

Agree

[weak gust]

If you look up Geonosian hive gallery, it's the first image that pops up

I'd imagine the interiors of Osseus to look like that

[pure skiff]

Ok thanks bro all keep that in mind

Doom one is on molbie

Phones

It's coust 4:99

[cobalt fog]

Waiting for the dlc trailer is gonna make me geek

[pure skiff]

One time I bought doom the dark ages

[cobalt fog]

????

[pure skiff]

In it wasn't right system

So damn I wasted money

So that wasn't good what I did

😭

[cobalt fog]

What?

Your confusing me

WAIT

OH

HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT 💀

[split gate]

“This is the PS5 version of Doom TDA. This clearly means I can play it on my Xbox.” Ahh comment

[pure skiff]

I'm talking about the disc

It said not readable

Witch is weird

[split gate]

Interesting, did you get a copy of the game from your region

[unborn urchin]

Just realized I bought Dark Ages on it's anniversary

[graceful rivet]

hell yeah

[fleet spruce]

that's some 2016 type shit ngl

I wonder if we'll see bizarre looking places like Boneyard from 2016 MP

[twilit stone]

oh shit TDA's gonna have a Hell that's actually creative this time??

[unkempt dragon]

Uhh the other ones were. Especially Nekravol

[twilit stone]

I said TDA specifically. It wasn't bad, the Harbor one was pretty good, but it was kinda bland overall in the base game. Eternal had cool Hells

this bone thing and the ice place and the kind of weird and creative stuff I want from DOOM Hells

[weak gust]

What made Nekravol/Exultia Hell so good is how much it leaned into the fire and brimstone of it all. As Jacksepticeye said, on a scale from 0 to Hell this is about as Hell as it gets

I like that both the Blood Swamps and the Harbor of Souls did something unique

Although, I haven't played TDA yet so my feelings on Azhrak's fortress Hell is a bit weird

It looks cool I guess, but maybe too dark

As dumb as that sounds

I'm glad we're getting a cold Hell in Hell's Core. As a Nordic guy, it's really exiting to see what's pretty much our Norse ancestors Hell interpretation come to life in a DOOM game

[elder raven]

as much as i’d love to see hell’s core be helheim, its likely referencing treachery from dantes inferno

love the idea though, and it still could be

[weak gust]

Osseus also looks peak, I love desert levels

[weak gust]

I think so yeah, being at the core of Hell and that

But I'd like to think that it's visually inspired by Helheim, there's a lot of cool interpretations to go off of

[pliant coral]

Plenty of choices to pick and choose from

[elder raven]

i definitely want more mythologies depicted in doom though, chinese, greek, norse, and maybe even ravana from hinduism would be awesome

[fading bone]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-where-is-she-nikkal-nikkalkundhal-nick-gif-18076474

WHERES THE NUGGET

[weak gust]

Going back to Norse mythology, I think it's cool that the Titan's Realm can be seen as an interpretation of Jotunheim (meaning the same in translation)

[loud gulch]

jeez its been a year since tda released already???? i feel old

[weak gust]

I love it when DOOM goes all in on analogues, like with the Tower of Babel

[elder raven]

are there any more connections with that?

[pliant coral]

That tower was the first Rosetta Stone

[weak gust]

Not that I can tell

But it's still cool that they share a name

I've been to irl Jotunheim, it's a mountain region

[elder raven]

and by the way i typed up this thing in #the-codex that ties some doom stuff to greek mythology. its very much theoretical, and some of it maybe borders on fanfiction. however, i think i cooked

[weak gust]

Could you forward the message?

It's not linked

[elder raven]

#the-codex message

[weak gust]

Thank u

[twilit stone]

it's just a very simple depiction imo. And not even in the 2016 way were that at least had a nasty and boiling look to it (both through visuals and sound design), it just feels very.. safe? I guess, not to mention the colors being so muted in TDA compared to Eternal and 2016's vibrancy

[weak gust]

Mhm. I gotta say tho, I find Argent D'Nur in 2016 to be even a bit blander that Azhrak's Fort

[twilit stone]

fair yeah, it is the worst Hell level of 2016 by far, but it's also somewhat justified in universe since it's meant to be the remnants of Argent D'Nur stripped of all its life and resources. Plus the Spider Mastermind's arena has some of the best Hell imagery in the series

[uneven dragon]

argent d'nur is a fairly forgettable location outside of the wraiths

the level i mean

[weak gust]

I'm glad they retconned 2016's interpretation of Argent D'Nur

[weak gust]

Omg, yeah the Spider Mastermind arena will all those dead trees and blue hues is amazing

[twilit stone]

yea it was always kinda weird how it was cited as the "Heart of Hell" in 2016 like really? This random chunk of rock from Argent D'Nur is the heart of the entire realm? And for the heart it looks dead as fuck lol

I'm just gonna chalk it up to the UAC not having a fucking clue what they're talking about

[weak gust]

It really dissapoints me as well because, Olivia's codex entry about the place had such an impactful wording up until she mentioned Argent D'Nur like lol

Lemme find it, the page could be even better if Urdak was fully developed in the lore

[twilit stone]

Urdak should've been referenced in 2016 at some point, maybe they thought it'd be too weird for the first entry of the reboots or smth

[weak gust]

Thing is, that codex almost did

It referred to smth akin of Hell being the real heaven and that we were all lied to

Which yeah, she was cooking in terms of knowing the truth of the lore

[neon perch]

I always found 2016's depiction of hell disappointing.

I get they were playing it safe but.

The multiplayer exclusive levels were better looking on all fronts.

Goes without saying but, ye I think Eternal had the best looking hell out of them all. TDA is cool too but nothing we hadn't seen before in DE.

I do like how they brought back a bit of 2016's hell but made it not just be a bunch of green bricks.

[uneven dragon]

huge agree with that

the multiplayer 2016 levels are honestly the best modern hell in general

[weak gust]

I'm a bit torn on that

On one hand, I adore the Hell Guard worm themed level, that one was brutal, I think Super Gore Nest wouldn't exist without it

On the other hand, some of the other ones can feel a bit uninspired. I do love the one area with the tree bark and yellow mist, but that's about all I can remember that I particularly enjoy

That one blue Hell level they have is pretty rad tho

I think it's really cool to see how 2016's multiplayer levels explored elements that would be featured in Eternal and Dark Ages

Like we have Maykr imagery both in the space station level and the Argent Breach or whatever level, as well as a kind of prototype for Aratum

And also the bloody arctic base level, which I feel influenced Cultist Base

[fleet spruce]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/611785499551465503/1451897726341222502/colin-geller-colin-geller-bka-hellpaint2b.jpg?ex=6a07aae0&is=6a065960&hm=05ba21b5c1a67b5921ce72e5b514a7ec1e222ae6c040da429405f6833c28a855&

hope we'll see this kinda shit in the DLC

[pastel pebble]

I feel like hell in 2016 was cool at first but it definitely got repetitive. But I do like to imagine that the hell we saw in 2016 was the way it is due to the slayers rampage after the betrayal. Just a destroyed desolate landscape

[neon perch]

This kinda shit is what irks me, see dude they could've done all this cool Barlowe-esque stuff.

This is unique.

2016 feels like they put in all their effort in the UAC base levels and just slouched for the hell ones. It's like night and day.

[fleet spruce]

"We're running out of time, quick, make hell red wasteland"

[fading bone]

i like TDA's hell depiction more than 2016's

guystandingupmeme.jpg

[versed quarry]

There was like one or two references to Samur

[uneven dragon]

2016 does not have Samur

it does have arcane VEGA though

[uneven dragon]

VEGA has maykr runes on him and 2016's multiplayer has a lot more urdak stuff so i think they just didnt come up with it till later

[versed quarry]

They call him “the seraphim” but he’s there in the codex

[uneven dragon]

oh i thought you meant specifically samuel being the seraphim which was not planned at the time of 2016

yeah it did have the seraphim

[versed quarry]

That’s debatable, but the seraphim, in a broad sense, is there.

[twilit stone]

I can generally agree when talking about Kadingir Sanctum which is just a lot of yellow and rocky terrains or Titan's Realm which kinda wastes its potential, but I think the Necropolis is an exception. That's where 2016's art direction peaks imo

[weak gust]

What I enjoy the most about 2016 Hell is how it depicts catacombs, there’s a slight respect to it all compared with the pure torture of Eternal (which I think is a cool contrast). 2016 Hell feels like I’m inside an Indiana Jones temple

[weak gust]

I love the skylights in the Necropolis

[fleet spruce]

one thing is that he had suspiciously huge amount of information regarding Slayer and his past as well as finding EXACTLY where he was entombed, after thinking about it for a bit it striked me as a rather odd occurrence so i can see that

[twilit stone]

it just feels so cramped, I love it

it's what I like about DOOM 3's Hell as well

[weak gust]

Anything that messes with Euclidean space like that is awesome, with light coming outta nowhere

The Necropolis also has that killer drop down section where we get to see the roots and skeletons of titans and giant trees

It’s a really cool shift. Going from the rich colors of the Titan’s Core to the ceiling of Hell

[versed quarry]

#the-codex message

[weak gust]

I like to think that it serves as an entry to the next layer of Hell

The Titan’s Realm layer being up top, and something else lying deep below

[twilit stone]

that visual of that massive skeleton hovering over the abyss has always stuck with me, it's the most eerie visual in the entire series imo. The game draws no attention to it, there's no codex talking about it, it's just there and you're mind is left to ponder of what this thing could've been in life

[weak gust]

The one beneath the map? I know they reused it for the Cultist Base ocean

[fleet spruce]

yeah that nails it well

[weak gust]

Also tip. Next time you’re in 2016 Hell, zoom in on the buildings in the distance

They’re so eerie

[hearty edge]

it reminds me of myhouse ngl

[warm steeple]

How much fps is enough to play TDA? I get 48 fps in the graphics menu at 1440p with my thermal throttling RTX 2060 SUPER.

[fleet spruce]

i wonder if necropolis is hovering over same territory as harbor of souls

[weak gust]

Yeah!

[twilit stone]

the blue hue sorta does give that indication, but who really knows I mean Immora has a blue sky as well

[weak gust]

That one looks even larger than Maligog

[sleek topaz]

Still no Trailer for DLC, huh? DISTURBING!

[weak gust]

My headcanon is that the Titan’s Realm lies atop Hell

[fleet spruce]

Immora hue is more cyan/green iirc

cool visuals either way

[weak gust]

There are some areas of blue

I wonder if there is anything beneath Immora

The lower sections look interesting

[warm steeple]

With dlss ultra performance.

[weak gust]

I think Argent D’Nur makes sense to be above the skybox mountains seen from Nekravol

The skies are a similar shade of orange/red, and both regions have ties with the Sentinels

[twilit stone]

definitely. I mean we also see floating rocks in the distance throughout Exultia and Nekravol

[fleet spruce]

I played at 30-40 FPS before they introduced handheld preset, you'll be fine

[weak gust]

That’s another thing, we see cities similar to the skybox cities from The Well in Nekravol Part I and II

I think there’s definitely a connection

[unkempt dragon]

gotcha. sorry late reply, was playing 2016

[twilit stone]

all good man

[weak gust]

Not to mention Nekravol having a statue of Olivia Pierce, seems like those regions work closely together

I believe there’s no sign that Kadingr helped with the demonic invasion in Eternal

The Titan’s Realm? Also prolly not, but The Well seems likely

[unkempt dragon]

We could ask Mono when he's awake tmrrw

Interested in his take(s)

[weak gust]

He always has smth cool to say

[warm ibex]

honestly I've always just assumed that most Hell locations are on different planes and not in one shared space 🤔

[twilit stone]

From what I've interpreted, Hell actually seems to treat individuals in full commitment to it with respect. Betruger's a good example, dude gets a whole castle named after him in Eternal. Olivia's seemingly the same, albeit a bit less so because near the very end she seemed to have a bit of remorse and realization of what she did.

and was thus forcefully turned into a monster, unlike Betruger who willingly became the Maledict

[unkempt dragon]

My own personal hell in Doomworld to me is Classic Doom's Limbo 😭 But that's for another day in another channel

[weak gust]

Maybe there’s some dimensional tomfoolery going on

[weak gust]

She actually wanted to become a monster judging from her codex message

[warm ibex]

that could be it too! I was thinking something like layers personally, sorta like one big hell lasagna

[unkempt dragon]

I didn't know I had this emote until just now lol

[weak gust]

She mentioned the Aranae Imperatrix or however you spell that

And the ascension into that immortal form

[warm ibex]

it's a good one lol I've never seen that before

[twilit stone]

yea but when she says "they promised me so much" in her very final moments, it seemed there was a least a 5% chance of a "wait hold up a sec.." moment for her

[unkempt dragon]

[weak gust]

Lazagna (Lazarus lasagna)

[weak gust]

She definitely had that moment

[unkempt dragon]

ngl they could've done better with her final words there...seemed a bit meh

[weak gust]

But she knew of the concept, just not the implication

[unkempt dragon]

She was a dumbass

Don't make deals with the devil missy

[twilit stone]

yea. She's clearly meant to be a sympathetic villain in a way and I kinda wish they went more-in on that idea with a more justifiable reason

[unkempt dragon]

Agreed!

Poor Tilda Swinton

🫗

[twilit stone]

I still like Olivia a lot though, even if she's a bit underdeveloped. The idea of a seemingly harmless crippled person causing an apocalypse is just fascinating and hilarious to me

[warm ibex]

that's a good one lol

I like the idea that you couldn't just jump off of 2016's Hell and land into Eternal's Hell, you'd need to pass through some sort of layer barrier. But you could probably walk from Nekravol to the Blood Swamps since they're (presumably) on the same plane

[weak gust]

I love the fact that her condition influenced her choices, it makes her more believable

[unkempt dragon]

I made my client watch the Stream with me today when I was at work lmao

[weak gust]

Just like Samuel, she became corrupted through technology

[weak gust]

Mhm, I think that aspect is felt through 2016 Hell being so hard to get to

Eternal Hell was a button away, but 2016 Hell was comparable to the Backrooms in terms of ease of access

[twilit stone]

also infinite abyss's are scary, just saying

[weak gust]

The abyss in Kadingr does feel especially large

[unkempt dragon]

Sleep time, goodnight fellas

[obsidian shard]

GN Goat, sleep well

[unkempt dragon]

gn fren

[open knoll]

Hi everyone. I have a question, when I upgrade the basic shotgun, does the super variant also get those upgrades?

And for the other weapons as well.. same question.

[hazy pasture]

Nope you've to upgrade them separately

[hearty edge]

also the hell part of exultia and nekravol since u can see it from there

[hearty edge]

nah

think of it like how in eternal the heavy cannon and the chaingun share the same ammo pool but they're totally different weapons

the same here except they also share the same slot

[open knoll]

Thx a lot.

[split fog]

did they talk about the dlc release date in the slayers club live?

[hazy pasture]

Nopers

[split fog]

ok thx

I Like To Most Doom I'm Played All Games And The New

[oak temple]

What an L. All we got was one concept art image?

[random cloud]

is the dark ages available on the wii

[random sand]

No but it is on snes

[random cloud]

nice

[fleet spruce]

No, but there's Doom The Dark Ages: Divine Suffering (Nintendo DS)

[random cloud]

it’s a joke dude

[fleet spruce]

i know

this was just a play on how DS versions of games had subtitle which stood for DS acronym

[wraith viper]

you guys think we’ll ever see the legionary skin from the 2000$ graphics card release for free? it is insane that it’s locked behind that lowkey

[fleet spruce]

couldn't care less, no skins so far that interest me

[sleek topaz]

There are only REskins, not alternate skins!

[oak temple]

No as it defeats the point of it being some exclusive high end skin

What if Osseus is where the ammo for the skull crusher gun comes from 🫢

[split gate]

We had a glimpse of the DLC bro, we have a bone level coming

[mental ice]

Awh I missed it 😭

[vocal brook]

Glad to see the 2016 pistol coming back

[uneven mortar]

Did that stream happen

Can someome post an image

Siiiiick

Love the yellow, feels like a snow level but more visually interesting

[harsh egret]

Josh mentioned a while ago that merch-exclusive skins will be available for free later on, i wouldn't expect that for a good bit longer tho

[delicate sparrow]

This will be a very fun level to explore and take in the sights

doom games and great scenery is like a match made in heaven

New wallpaper dropped

[calm glacier]

Damn, it's been out for a year already?

[split gate]

Time flies by so fast, I remember it like yesterday grabbing the collector’s edition from the store and walking off with a big box lol

[calm glacier]

Yeah, time does fly by fast

[north spire]

good art :)

[compact adder]

Happy Anniversary to the GLORIOUS prequel and bloodbath that is Dark Ages!

[spark elm]

I now have a feeling Battlemode in this game’s style would be cool

[uneven mesa]

Haven't we been told that they would be new items on the bethesda shop this week for Doom ?

[solar spoke]

Funnily enough it probably would be better balanced

[frosty roost]

love the art, got it as my wallpaper on my phone

[harsh egret]

yes, and there are

#merch-showcase message

[uneven mesa]

Thanks, and is there a link to purshase ?

[slow nexus]

Have Hugo mentioned something about the DLC in the stream?

[random sand]

I believe a new concept art was shown

The level name for the art as well

[slow nexus]

thx, something about release date?

[random sand]

Don't think so

[slow nexus]

ok thx

[warm ibex]

to add onto this, Josh also mentioned that it's a post-DLC thing iirc, so I imagine support will be near its end before the cosmetic pack is released. (also it may not be all merch exclusive skins, just the ones that aren't wrapped up in legal stuff) @wraith viper

[hidden sapphire]

Hi Horde

[warm ibex]

hey man!

[frosty roost]

heya horde!

[gleaming vortex]

hey do people have any good tips for UN runs in this game?

this shit hard bro

[fading bone]

biggest thing is to just take your time

theres a ton of fodder in this game and theyre more threatening than the heavies. just be patient and diligent to clear everything out and then go in for the big guys

[frosty roost]

dude the fodders in UN are pain to fight honestly lmfao

[fading bone]

also this

[pure skiff]

[random sand]

In confined spaces yeah. Other than that, they're just shield saw food

[chilly needle]

I just beat it for first time. I cheesed it. But fodder was definitely my issue so taking them out and keeping my back to the wall helped. Going from outside the battlefield swooping inwards for the most part. Depending on threat. I have to have all threat detectors on. Also find which combo works best for you. Mine was SSG, gauntlet or mace, and the holy swarm. Thats my Play style that gives me most succes but tinker with it.

[fading bone]

how did you cheese it?

[frosty roost]

should i complete pandaemonium to get the skin for the 1yr anniversary?

[abstract widget]

do it!

[solar cairn]

Give me master levels pls

[warm ibex]

you will first have to give them your patience

[elder raven]

max sliders

[frosty roost]

i have it on yes

[elder raven]

500% damage to slayer.. 50% damage to demons

[sturdy island]

1000% damage to GPU

[versed quarry]

“I love playing on the hardest difficulty” he lied.

[elder raven]

i am one of the few that has beaten the game like that. everyone must do it to be a real doom fan

[versed quarry]

I tried the hardest difficulty in Eternal, and I could barely make it to Exultia

[crude kraken]

happy birthday doom the dark ages

cant believe its been a year

[gloomy vortex]

cannot wait for the dlc dawg

I was thinking about my initial expectations for the dlc, and honestly the praetor suit will most definitely not be obtained in the dlc, maybe the wretch will be introduced, but things like that and others are too big for one dlc

Maybe in a game after dark ages

But the dlc will most likely just advance the story in that direction

[sudden stump]

Am I wrong for thinking default UN in TDA is harder than UN in eternal? A lot of people say it's easier but I feel like Eternal was a lot more forgiving when it comes to death

"just tweak the sliders to make it easier" okay but like what if I don't want to do that? Lol

[warm ibex]

what's giving you trouble with TDA UN?

[errant osprey]

A question that has been on my mind since last night is about that dark essence that Hugo talked about.
Is it part of the Dark Lord's essence that was used in Divinity Machine? Or is it pure Hell energy that combines with Wraith energy to create Argent energy?🤔

[uncut thistle]

I am probably be wrong about that, but I think he was referring to the soul factory essence thing for urdak like we saw in nekravol?

At least an unrefined form of it

[errant osprey]

Hugo said that's what Khan Maker is interested in.
So maybe it's pure hellish energy.

[frail bloom]

Happy0y0y anniveraryry

[grim cloud]

by chance can we get a high res concept art for the DLC? I needs it for wallpaper

[frail bloom]

I actually did ask for one but they didn't see

[grim cloud]

we should ask every day and spam the stream for it

and i might have to make a bone hell slayer gate arena for my megawadmod

[sudden stump]

I guess it's all the randomness. By the time I think I have everything in check I get nailed by a homing projectile which phases through a cyber demon or something. My fault for are not clearing out fodder more I suppose but still it can be frustrating and your health can go from full to 0 very fast

[deft slate]

I will never be a real doom fan ig

[knotty pewter]

Nah, mine handles the game fine

Unless I turn on path tracing

But path tracing does nothing to enhance the visuals

PT with XeSS Performance in 1440P gets the same FPS as RT in 4K native…

For me at least

[ionic glade]

I would say Eternal UN is harder out of the gate and a lot of people’s perception of it is due to the meat grinder that is the first 3 levels but once you get past cultist base, it levels out and isn’t too bad. TDA UN (no sliders adjusted) felt like a much more balanced experience from the start and ramped up steadily as it goes along. I definitely feel the last few levels of TDA were harder and more stressful compared to Eternal because you could get your health and armor back easily with a well placed ice bomb and flame belch by the last few levels. Plus the difference in game length adds to the stress.

[sleek topaz]

Free?

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-gif-13250124

[harsh egret]

yh, he mentioned some sort of free bundle but we will see, what horde mentioned is also very true

[warm ibex]

did he specifically say free?

I honestly don't remember but I can't imagine it being anything but a paid pack

[harsh egret]

well its been months but my memory tells me that yes

and i have zero clue what stream it was to check

[warm ibex]

Hugo was in Resurrection when Josh mentioned it

[harsh egret]

maybe

however i also cannot check right now

[warm ibex]

lmao

I definitely didn't say anything about it being free in my video, and I feel like I would've mentioned that if it was said

but I'm also kinda stupid 💀

[harsh egret]

go fact check

[warm ibex]

bro just sayin shit and then making me go fact check 😭

[harsh egret]

i would check rn if i could

ill maybe do it later

[warm ibex]

nah dw man I'm checking

[versed quarry]

Gotta keep you on your toes

[warm ibex]

1:15:08 I believe this is the most recent time they've talked about it (at least in a meaningful way) and there was no mention of free or paid https://youtu.be/Ritgy2sH2aE

[pure skiff]

[warm ibex]

Although at 1:19:28 he does mention that they were looking into making it a "standalone thing" so I would imagine paid @harsh egret

[harsh egret]

i hope they dont do that

[sleek topaz]

Shouldn't this upcoming DLC be standalone too?

[harsh egret]

wat

the story dlc yeah, i just wish they gave the skins for free and not as a paid dlc

but we'll see

[deft slate]

Bro it’s so goofy when you shoot a demons arms off and they just can’t do anything so they just follow you around (I swear I’m not a psycho)

Idk why I can’t pull the clip up but it’s so dumb
