[fading osprey]

Hi! Long time no see!

[wintry forge]

What’s up! Yeah, been off for a bit lmao

[versed quarry]

No

[twilit stone]

this is a bucket

[spark elm]

The damage the demons do stays DOWN!

I want it to be fair 😭

Now starting Pandemonium

I didn’t increase the damage I do, only took down their damage, and made parry windows bigger

[ebon forge]

I can't wait for the DLCs to come out

[versed quarry]

It’s only one DLC

[ebon forge]

Eh still can't wait

[versed quarry]

Fair

[ebon forge]

Hopefully we can see that scrapped alt weapon of the Chainshot

[warped pelican]

In the dlc maybe

[ebon forge]

That's what I meant

[silver pawn]

Can External GPU run the Dark Ages?

I'm on laptop.

[open knoll]

Why not? Maybe you won't get the same performance as a normal pc setup but it should work.

So after roughly 50-60 hours experimenting with Path tracing, I decided to just ditch it.
I have a 9800x3d + 4090 machine, playing at 1440p with everything on max got me around 60-80 fps on average with PT on (DLSS quality mode as usual..). But most of the time I was on 60-75 ish.
In attempt to get more frames I turned on Frame gen, got me to 120 -140 fps range which is fine.. But I didn't like the idea of using FG and also there was an annoying black screen pause everytime I went into the mini map or the menu and came back to the game.
Not a deal breaker but just annoying.
Path tracing was not worth it for me, the normal ray tracing in the game already looks pretty good, and now I am getting 150-180 fps on average with DLSS quality without PT. Also the textures look normal now, sharp and crisp.
Before (with PT) it looked oddly muddy and like they are from the rearly 2000's.. now everything is sharp and pretty 🙂
CPU performance went from 20-30% on average to 50-60% (depends on the scene), overall it runs amazing, I can even use DLAA instead of DLSS and still probably get around 140+ fps, but I need to test this.
In the meantime I am with DLSS quality, just because I like the super high frame rate 🙂

[fading bone]

why dont you like the idea of using frame gen

that shits giving me 300-400fps on max settings its insane

[open knoll]

What GPU? 4090 only has x2 (not the multi like the 5000 series).

[fading bone]

5070ti

[open knoll]

If I can, I prefer to not use it because those are not "real frames", also there is a latency penalty. I use it only when I have no choice or insist on max graphics. It's a last resort option for me.
In slower games it makes more sense, but in doom I feel that it is better without it. Also like I said, for some reason the game look better to my eyes. It looked a little "muddy"/ "smeared" before when PT was on (not related to frame gen).

I like how it runs much better now, Eternal performance territory.

[fading bone]

what is the latency penalty? i dont notice anything

[open knoll]

I don't know.. it's hard to notice if you are not testing for it anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. But it's there.
What multiplyer do you use? I think that the higher the multiplyer the more latency.

[alpine pilot]

I play on rtx4060 laptop with FG on and I don't feel any latency difference honestly (at least not in D:TDA)

[fading bone]

im also used to playing competitive games and being very finnicky about latency/lag input etc. and i dont notice anything

runs perfectly and looks absolutely beautiful

[open knoll]

The latency is in milliseconds, it is almost impossible to notice (again..unless you are testing with softwares and stuff like that). But it is definitely there (those extra frames don't come for free).
Even hardcore Esport games would be hard presesed to find it, also the game has Nvidia reflex which should theoretically help with latency, so it kind of counters it.

But Path tracing was just not worth it for me at the end of the day. I prefer to get a more native image with high FPS.

I get more FPS now than with path tracing + frame gen on.. And I also don't have that annoying black screen pause all the time getting in and out of the mini map.
Probably frame gen needs a second to calibrate itself every time I return to the game (if I spend more than 5 seconds out of it)
Now it is instant.

[spark elm]

guys besides the entire ultra nightmare diff, what is the hardest diff possible thats completable which is below ultra nightmare?

[craggy breach]

Pandemonium?

[outer forum]

ah alright and should i be using difficulty sliders or nah

[craggy breach]

Thats up to you , I don't use sliders because I feel that defeats the point but it's personal preference

[indigo island]

Hi everyone! I just joined the server and wanted to ask those who play Doom on PS5—how comfortable do you find the PS5 controller controls? Do you miss having mouse and keyboard controls? Thanks in advance for your answers!

[errant osprey]

I play Dark Ages on PS5 with a controller.
Dark Ages is very good and easy with a controller and I personally enjoy it a lot because it doesn't have the complexity and complexity of Quick Switch Eternal.
Of course, Quick Switch also had its own fun, but it was a bit difficult and slow to play on a controller.

[weak field]

I agree, and going through the weapon wheel constantly breaks the rhythm

Me when Osseus drops

[frail bloom]

My excitement is too much

[mystic patrol]

sorry for the late answer, but not at all. i finished it on pc first but then i got it on ps5 because my laptop started behaving weird and i actually think its still fun af on controller too

[wind jewel]

I play on ps5, for me the controls are just fine and I enjoy the game.

[weak gust]

I'm gonna start my Dark Ages playthrough now I think 🔥

I'll just do Khalim

This will be fun I bet

[formal magnet]

let’s go

it’s so fun

[deft slate]

It will, trust

It’s like my favorite game

[weak gust]

Welp, bad news. I knew the game had some weird raytracing requirements but, turns out my PC is missing a component for it 💀

I'll head to the store next week, welp

[fading bone]

yeah you need a GPU that has ray tracing on it

[weak gust]

I’ll be able to hopefully play the game next week

[fading bone]

damn just straight up buying a new GPU lmao nice

what are you gonna get

[weak gust]

One of my family members is really good with PC stuff, so I’ll ask him for recommendations

[fading bone]

good luck

[fleet spruce]

[open knoll]

Hi everyone, is there a setting on pc to disable pressing the weapon number switch to the other type? I would like to have only F for this.

[craggy breach]

You will love dark ages, it's my favourite out of the new trilogy

[gleaming vortex]

Ultra Nightmare gamers, what weapons should I upgrade and in what order? I’ve been messing with the shredder’s pincushion a lot but for me that’s been falling off in Siege 1.

[sharp kestrel]

[alpine pilot]

[primal cave]

ITS SO FUCKING PEAK

[solar spoke]

does anyone think that Finishing Move are actually gonna use bones as instruments for the track in the DLC?

https://tenor.com/view/music-xylophone-dança-dance-skull-gif-15344545

[sleek topaz]

Will they return, or a myth?

[primal cave]

i meannnnnnnnn

[solar spoke]

yeah they're back

[primal cave]

It COULD sound good

I might be the only one who wants like a guitar melee

And like you can play the guitar as a special typa thing and it kills all demons in ur radius

kinda bfg style

[warm ibex]

why wouldn't they?

[sleek topaz]

Problems with

SIR YES SIR

[ebon cipher]

Im FINALLY getting the hang of playing at 150% speed

Im using the nail gun (forgot the name) with that upgrade where the shield reflects the bullets to the nearest enemy, and the accelerator

Im planning on using the ravager too when i get idk i just love DPS

[hearty edge]

Ricochet is busted ngl

[ebon cipher]

Yea that one

[hearty edge]

If you find a mancubus you basically hit the jackpot early game

Demoms be gone

[ebon cipher]

Lol yea exactly

[mystic barn]

Finishing Move are back for the DLC. Confirmed as such on an Instagram story, but I think we all assumed they’d be on the score again anyway

[mystic barn]

Personally? Yeah. They’ve set a precedent for using unique instruments befitting of a certain tone or environment, so it would check out if they continued with this approach to production for the DLC. I’m hoping for a kangling or xylophones, but some rather hollow-sounding SFX would do the trick too

:3

I have my sources

[hearty edge]

for the bone level i feel like an e2m4 callback would fit real good

[ionic glade]

I’m so pumped for them to be back! Hope the DLC OST will get an official release as well

[hearty edge]

like how you have the end screen music in exultia

[frail bloom]

Oh yeah

I hope that happens

[mystic barn]

I think we kinda already got that with the Komodo Champion music. That said, really creepy ambience with that tune would be sick

[frail bloom]

Hear me out

Message for the archvile

What do y'all think

[mystic barn]

Bro won’t let it go

[frail bloom]

Mixed in with the dust and sand bowls

[ionic glade]

Their cosmic realm ambience music is amazingly creepy. Rivals Mick’s Urdak ambience imo

[frail bloom]

The gusts and winds while the chilling theme of the archvile is played

[frail bloom]

Hmmm sounds like someone knows what it'll actually sound like

[hearty edge]

please yes

[frail bloom]

See someone gets it

Make the archvile bony and introduce him here

In Osseus

[hearty edge]

we need skinny fast archvile

[frail bloom]

I agree

[warm ibex]

Think about it... You enter the first big arena of Osseus. the Bone Archvile spawns. a remix of Message for the Archvile preformed with bone instruments plays...

[frail bloom]

People are seeing the vision

Y'all know the drums in message of the archvile?

It extends during the entire song

Add bone in there

https://tenor.com/view/ascension-sponge-bob-gif-15077046

[pastel wigeon]

Waiting over a year now for the DLC is crazy

[frail bloom]

Nah it's normal

[mystic barn]

Wait hold on, do you remember when those Arch-Vile skull renders were found? No one could find them in either Eternal or TDA. Maybe they’re repurposing them for a Bone Arch-Vile

[warm ibex]

this ain't fortnite man, I'm sorry

[frail bloom]

I'd change the face tho

[warm ibex]

honestly I think a boney, mummified archvile would be peak

[frail bloom]

Ofc if they have smt as equally cool I am not opposed

But man bony classic archvile

[versed quarry]

Perhaps it look a little more like the classic one, where its much skinnier and has the crucifixion wounds.

[warm ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/sunnyfication-gif-20299408

[frail bloom]

Ohhhh it should have a crucifix marking in its midsection

That glows orange

PEAK

[versed quarry]

And as much I like the tubes, I don't think itd fit.

[frail bloom]

Nah it would

The tubes are part of the archvile

[split gate]

How id be moving for the DLC for over a year now

[frail bloom]

They're not addons

[warm ibex]

facts dude

[frail bloom]

Man they have a bigger pot than that

https://tenor.com/view/ratatouille-gif-21766790

Pot to peak ratio

[warm ibex]

it's the meal that matters, not the size of the pot 😌

Guys look its LM

[frail bloom]

Ye we're gonna eat the ratatouille doom dlc thingy and be remembering classic doom like how anton ego remembered his childhood

[pastel wigeon]

Never said it was lmao

[split gate]

Did they say they’re making more DLC content like the one coming up, or is this what we’re getting for DLC for the game

If it is, they have to end it with a bang bro

[warm ibex]

only one dlc this time

[pastel wigeon]

Hopefully sometime soon

[warm ibex]

Hopefully when it's ready

[wintry forge]

I’m sure they will

[warm ibex]

they always do

[pastel wigeon]

Dur

[frail bloom]

Also classic archvile is very H.R giger and Osseus is also very H.R giger so classic archvile wins no takesies backsies

101% perfect logic no flaws

[versed quarry]

Consider the scrapped enemy from 64 that might've been an archvile

[frail bloom]

Oh my

Wait

MIX THE TWO

A 4 armed archvile

https://tenor.com/view/ascending-energy-galaxy-gif-17739196

Peakness overload

[versed quarry]

Like the archvile from the unseen evil mod

[frail bloom]

So many peak routes they can take

I'm leaning on the Archvile being introduced in Osseus than in any other level ngl

Ofc ofc it's a prediction

[weak gust]

This fucks

Also is that a COVER ART DEMON?

I know it's a baron/hell knight but like, that's the closest we've seen to a cover art demon since Eternal codex entries

[versed quarry]

I mean, knights and barons a generally acknowledged as being the cover art demons.

[weak gust]

This one feels especially like a cover art demon to me, I think it's built off the head of the Gladiator, but that one had a different vibe to me

[hearty edge]

looks like the gladiator to me ngl

[weak gust]

Yeah

The big difference is the horns

[wanton agate]

I haven’t played DA in a bit, does the DLC have its name yet?

[foggy fable]

No

[unkempt dragon]

👀

[versed quarry]

I saw that a mod responded to my message, while having forgotten that I had make that joke, and thought I broke the rules.

[unkempt dragon]

nah I just got home from a wedding and peeked in haha

[versed quarry]

lmao

[frosty roost]

hey LM!

[spark elm]

Chapters can’t be replayed on Pandemonium? (I missed a secret on chapter 7 😭)

that’s gonna have to stay at 99% forever

[hearty edge]

yea it sucks kinda

[spark elm]

I guess as long as I get the resources then it should be fine

[merry sapphire]

i miss david levy wish they brought him back for the dlc like last time

jus listened to thronebreaker and man it woulda been so good if he was in the game

[gusty rock]

Is it possible that the dlc will explain what happened before Doom 2016

[fading bone]

well everything thats happening in TDA is before 2016 so yes

[gusty rock]

Are the doom eternal dlcs going to be the final chronological installment of the modern doom saga?

[warm ibex]

we won't know until we know

[uneven dragon]

depends where they feel like going after tda's dlcs

i kinda hope they aren't though </3

if tag 2 was slightly better id be fine with it

[versed quarry]

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

[uneven dragon]

if samur had fought with the crucible and davoth had a good bossfight/tag 2's story in general flowed better i'd be like "wow what a great final part 💖 "

[spark elm]

Oh frick I left 16 gold in chapter 9!!! AH MAN

and didn’t complete a challenge… I am SO cooked

[versed quarry]

I mean I still enjoyed it.

[uneven dragon]

i still enjoyed it too but like if we're talking narratively it's not the best final part that it could've been

[versed quarry]

Well they ain’t gonna remake it

[uneven dragon]

im aware

[uneven dragon]

well when doom gets rebooted again in 2050

[spark elm]

I so wanna replay missions on Pandemonium :(

[fading bone]

that's part of the challenge

[spark elm]

At least for collectibles/challenges/resources

[versed quarry]

When Hugo puts his brain into a robot to keep making DOOM games forever but he just becomes Samuel Hayden

[uneven dragon]

noooooo dont let him write tag 2 reboot

[uneven dragon]

that would be tuff

[pastel pebble]

Got about 3 weeks left till we MIGHT see a trailer for dlc

[hearty edge]

nd then he genuinely reveals he was the irl seraphim so now we gotta fight him

[twilit stone]

https://tenor.com/view/british-cop-screaming-screaming-sad-gif-1879411192175791821

[uneven dragon]

id be fine with it

it means we'd get another 3/2016 level banger 😛

[twilit stone]

yea I mean someone else has to be taking the wheel by then

i don't think I could take another 50 years of this current kind of doom tho ;-;

[uneven dragon]

oh dont worry we'll have a 20 year break

with some random spinoffs in the gap

[uneven dragon]

thing is

i kinda worry with 2016 being so beloved and Eternal establishing a connected timeline and also technology not having much further to go past TDA theres not gonna be a need for one lol

well i say worry like its a bad thing

[twilit stone]

i would've been okie dokie with Eternal being the last one, same with TDA honestly. At the very least the last one for the canon timeline

but it's a brand, and a profitable one at that so it'll keep going even if we don't want it to. I think the franchise should rest after TDA for like another 10 years or so, then comes back with a full-on reboot next time

[placid bough]

I just hope the devs can use Waltz in ripatorium 2.0 as a reference for the DLC as to how immobile the doom guy is in TDA when he engages a large crowd of enemies applying constant pressure. Like I’m pretty sure if we had at least some of the slayer’s abilities from doom eternal, waltz would be a cake walk lolll

[fading bone]

i mean waltz is just a slaughter map basically. its putting the game to its limits thats not really how the game was meant to be engaged with

in a normal balanced encounter you are quite mobile overall if youre constantly sprinting/circling/dashing etc.

[placid bough]

lol you right but I’m just saying….I hope the new combat loop in the DLC will give us something that will make waltz more manageable (but obviously still challenging)

[fading bone]

we will be getting new mobility with the spear

what kind of mobility that is is unseen yet

[placid bough]

Yes I know, I’m just curious to see how more agile the doom guy will become with this. Don’t get me wrong tho i think doom guy TDA (in his current state) is still slightly more OP than eternal doom guy (likely an unpopular opinion). But I’m also hoping we get some actual sneak peek gameplay with the spear soon 😭

[hazy pasture]

Waltz is a breeze compared to You're Stuck? Get F*cked

[placid bough]

Lmaoo without using the BFC it’s tough for me bro 😭

[ebon cipher]

They should add a master campaign

Or randomizer in game idk

[ebon cipher]

I think hes more powerful in eternal, given how pissed of he is

And obviously given who he defeated

[craggy breach]

Pretty sure they said they'd be doing master levels. But it seems like it'll be after the dlc

[sharp apex]

Wassup

[ebon cipher]

Yeah i remember that too ha

I think it was when Hugo was playing that Belly of The beast easter egg encounter, and someone asked him smth like doing a master campaingn with every encounter being like that secret one, and Hugo gave that mysterious look

[wide siren]

the look

i think there was talk of a master campaign before that. but i bet their resources are all tied up with the dlc for now

[ebon cipher]

Man that dlc gotta be good fr

Yea my memory was right

not a full confirmation but to me it does sound like one

but yes, dlc is clearly a priority rn

[ebon cipher]

Its not like they can confirm it like that ig

[frosty roost]

heya hato ❤️

[harsh egret]

hello

[solid nacelle]

Wonder if they're gonna do any big updates post dlc

[ebon cipher]

Mmm yea, they said bout ripatorium stuff, possibly ML and all

[frosty roost]

to be fair don't forget they can't tell everything that's happening in the dlc because that'll ruin it. so they have to keep most things quiet

[harsh egret]

well at least master levels/campaign im sure we will get

[frosty roost]

but I'm glad they do the nuggets and tell us what's going on :3

[ebon cipher]

But not even a teaser, i dont remember how it was for TAG

I think it was just a trailer right?

[harsh egret]

iirc yes

[solid nacelle]

The first trailer for tag 1 was at gamescom I think

[ebon cipher]

Ye

[craggy breach]

If it turns out to be a whole master campaign that would Rock

[ebon cipher]

Absolutely

They need more replay stuff like NG+ or smth

[split gate]

Master Campaign is the dream, Randomiser Campaign/Endless Horde Mode is paradise

[ebon cipher]

Endless randomizer horde mode💪🗿

[untold marsh]

It makes me a lil somber that dark ages gets a lot of stuff because no multiplayer

Master Campaign would be great. But everything will be postponed until after the DLC.
Personally, I would really like to have a Master Campaign.
Especially the battles in some stages like Khalim Village were short

Apparently daisy is making an appearance in a flashback in the dlc. We gonna see daisy in 4k ultra HD

[obsidian shard]

Not confirmed if it's a flashback or not

[sharp apex]

Still, daisy in 4k ultra HD

[versed quarry]

Do you think it’d be like Eternal where Daisy is hidden in every level?

Because I don’t know how it’d be neither a flashback or Eternal-style

[obsidian shard]

"It won't be an Easter Egg like Eternal it'll be more prominent"

[versed quarry]

Oh shit

Soo most likely a flash back but no one can say for certain until it's confirmed.

Daisy?.....someone said daisy?

You are the Daisy guy on the Streams, right?

The “Daisy guy”?

Dark Ages

[versed quarry]

Ah

Karthul Marshes stream

[spiral crow]

Did you mistake me for a different raven? lol

[versed quarry]

So I’m assuming that they tried to tell Hugo there was a Daisy hidden like in Eternal, but there wasn’t, so Hugo spent a bunch of time going in circles trying to find it.

[versed quarry]

No I’m just not on streams often.

[spiral crow]

I'm asking Sneaky that question lol

[versed quarry]

I think

[spark elm]

Yay 100% on the forsaken plains (a challenge was auto-completed)

[versed quarry]

Could they post the tier list in the screenshots channel afterwards? I’d love to see it but I can’t right now. Sorry.

[elder raven]

will do

[versed quarry]

Thanks!

[hearty edge]

If the og chaingunner is anywhere above e tier this is imvalid

[versed quarry]

It’s only modern enemies

[hearty edge]

Alr

If the carcass then

[versed quarry]

Fair. The carcass is a piece of shit.

[silent surge]

i was there! mostly lurking on and off, some chat

[spark elm]

Chapter 10-13 100%’d on this playthrough

[gusty rock]

Same.

Well I'm finishing chapter 12.

[spark elm]

hoping to 100% 14-22 while on this Pandemonium playthrough

Chapter 21 just auto-100%’s anyway

So yeah 14-20 and 22

[gusty rock]

I'm trying to 100% every chapter before finishing the two last ones.

[spark elm]

Since 21 has no challenges, collectibles, or resources, like chapter 3, after you defeat enhanced Ahzrak, you just get 100% anyway.

When I get to 22, I will NOT reset my settings to normal. Such a thing costed me a sigil on my last nightmare run.

[fading bone]

question about kaibz mod randomizer. for some reason im playing it on progression and i have a ton of extra enemies spawning in places that there normally wouldnt be any enemies. what setting do i need to make it have the normal spawn locations? i tried this the other day and it was totally normal in where enemies were spawning but now it's different and i dont know what is causing it

the balanced mode doesnt seem to be working either because i just had a cyberdemon spawn in the first 10 seconds of the game lol

[gloomy vortex]

i gotta say i am happy Hugo and the team are taking their time to cook with the dlc

[craggy breach]

Me too

[random sand]

i believe we all are. and when it drops, we'll see it was worth the wait. i gurantee it

[gloomy vortex]

Yeah its gonna be peak

[craggy breach]

Honestly I'd be happy if it ended up only being 6 Levels but by the sounds of it, it sounds like it could be a good deal more

[gloomy vortex]

Could be more for all we know

[split gate]

I’m betting on 10 levels, 9 each being the 9 circles of hell and the tenth being a final boss level

[gloomy vortex]

I'm thinking 9 is a good amount

[wide siren]

two levels: one is nothing but purple goo, the other is also purple goo but you’re in a mech

[ebon cipher]

Indeed

Cant wait to listen to the new OSTs

[gloomy vortex]

Same

[ebon cipher]

And the lore obviously

[gloomy vortex]

I wanna see what the new tools are

[ebon cipher]

I remember hugo (i guess) saying that the new tool will be a old weapon important to the lore

Actually i saw it in a Midnight video💀

[gloomy vortex]

i think that is separate from the tool

[ebon cipher]

So as far as we know its a spear

[gloomy vortex]

like the weapon that is hard to unlock and tied to the lore, and the possible spear are two different things from my understanding

[ebon cipher]

Yes yes

Gotta read all the codex again to try to figure it out what weapon is that

Demonic crucible? His ""adamantium sword"" from the testaments?

[gloomy vortex]

Demonic crucible maybe?

[ebon cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/let's-go-lets-goo-woo-woohoo-slaphands-gif-2455885103646184999

[gloomy vortex]

yeah its like the only the weapon that is tied to the lore i can think of

[gloomy vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/dap-dap-up-bro-homie-cyclops-gif-4428096331414899113

[ebon cipher]

I got a better one hold on

https://tenor.com/view/predator-handshake-arnold-schwarzenegger-carl-weathers-gif-17765053

[gloomy vortex]

peak

Another thing is that we may learn more about the slayers past

[ebon cipher]

Yep

[gloomy vortex]

OG doomguy suit appearance maybe?

[ebon cipher]

• morel hell lore

I love that "layers of hell" thing

[gloomy vortex]

With hell's core and osseus?

[ebon cipher]

Yep

In doom 2016's final mission its said that its in the heart of hell or smth

So we got 2 hearts now?

[gloomy vortex]

I mean maybe its two places near the heart of hell

[ebon cipher]

Yea good point

Im curious to see what the daisy appearance will be like

Tragic flashback or smth

Man im just hyped for it, and thats a bad thing cuz that means i now will be impatient bout it lol

I was focused on CSM before but since the manga ended i got all my focus on DOOM

[gloomy vortex]

OH YEAH daisy

Maybe we'll see a flashback of his past with her before she died, back in doom 1

[ebon cipher]

Im trying to low my expectations cuz i always end up thinking smth epic and big but it ends up being okay

Like when TAG 2 was bout to release, i thought so many stuff could happen after TAG1 ending, and it turned out quite simple

[gloomy vortex]

I think its gonna be pretty good, we'll probably not see anything too big but maybe like, few flashbacks and stuff that progresses the lore towards 2016

[ebon cipher]

Yeah definitely

We need more lore connections

[gloomy vortex]

Can't wait for that first trailer dawg

[ebon cipher]

First time i finished TDACi thought "where are the connections to the testaments?" And its pretty hidden ngl

[gloomy vortex]

I was of the idea we would get the praetor suit in this dlc, but that is probably for a game after dark ages

[ebon cipher]

Yep, each game different armor thing

[gloomy vortex]

Its way too early for the slayer to get it as well

[ebon cipher]

Maybe we will just know him as context for when he will do his armor idk

Maybe he will help the slayer go after the order of the six

[gloomy vortex]

Yeahhh

[ebon cipher]

I just need that dlc damnnn

[gloomy vortex]

we also gotta take into consideration the scale of this dlc

[ebon cipher]

Im getting tired of beating the game over and over and over...

Mmm true

[gloomy vortex]

Its taking this long because its pretty big

I don't mind waiting honestly

[ebon cipher]

Well im a berserk fan i know how to wait lol

[gloomy vortex]

Berserk is peak

[ebon cipher]

Berserk armor skin in dark ages when

[gloomy vortex]

Real

I hope zombie slayer becomes a skin

[ebon cipher]

Mmm dont mind much ngl

I wonder if ALL of ID Software is busy with dlc

Like isnt at least one person left to do some master levels😥

[split gate]

This is what I was thinking as well, they were able to make a master level before Eternal released and still added them while working on TAG and multiplayer

[grim cloud]

high res concept art from the DLC shown already when hugo?

[elder raven]

we just got one

[warm ibex]

playing other games is an option... 👀

[craggy breach]

I've had a truly terrifying realisation for the dlc.. leader archviles

Definitely gonna be a thing

[versed quarry]

Can’t wait until someone makes a ripatourium set where it’s only leader archviles

[craggy breach]

Please god no 😂

[pastel pebble]

Who up dooming their dark ages rn

[craggy breach]

Currently on belly of the beast on nightmare run

[radiant basin]

Doing Waltz of the Archdemons rn!! But why do the Demons not attack the Maykrs? Based on a line in TDA: “we purify his mind and leave only his hatred for the demons.” This could imply the Maykrs are the reason he is such a menace. Jekkad (saying that because why not), was it not a machine manned by a Maykr that gave him his powers? If I were a Demon and found out, I’d turn my attention on the Maykrs.

[obsidian shard]

The demons do attack the Maykr's in TDA

[radiant basin]

But that’s before their deal, right? Or am I just dumb?

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[radiant basin]

To which question?

[pastel pebble]

Got about 20 days till we might see a dlc trailer

[radiant basin]

Peak. Nobody will hear from me when that DLC releases. I will be holed in my room all day/ night.

[pastel pebble]

I'm so happy it'll probably be releasing this summer while I'm on break from college. More time to play

[gloomy vortex]

It would be so peak if it releases during summer

[craggy breach]

I'm definitely booking time off work to play the dlc

[errant osprey]

My biggest hype, besides experiencing the Bone Hell stage, is that I can't wait to see the new demons that are going to be added to the DLC.
One of my complaints about Dark Ages was the lack of variety in demons, and I hope the DLC can solve this problem by adding more unique and distinctive demons.

[delicate sparrow]

I think dark ages needs more champion fights and big enemies that act as the boss of the packs just more engaging enemy waves really. Dark Ages combat is really good so more Bosses like Champions would work great

[ebon cipher]

Lol, im the type of person that only plays one game for years then switch to another one

[pastel pebble]

What is going on with the steam DB updates 😭😭😭

I'm not sure if the newest tag added to the dark ages on steam is correct unless I'm missing something

[scenic lichen]

Bring back the pain elemental!!

[versed quarry]

Specifically the 64 pain elemental

[scenic lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

Fuck yes like unironically

[grim cloud]

i meant the one we got isn't blurry and full res. Looking for those two we have seen EDIT: Looks like there is one. But still missing one for the first concept

[uneven dragon]

would be good given how lame current lost souls are

you need more of them for them to be credible threats

[earnest mulch]

Agreed. There are too many combat encounters that involve mowing down a bunch of fodder, which doesn’t take much thought and would be more engaging with what you’re suggesting

[grim cloud]

fodder in tda is pretty uninteresting imo. prob because the slayer is just that much more powerful during this time

but ill take more larger enemy boss types. There was a mancubus champion, but it didnt make it into the ifnal game. You can see him in the old siege level from the promotions

[wintry scaffold]

Im getting crashes that look like

BugSplatRC resource DLL not found

Its annoying me because It happens just before I finish a level and im trying to do ultra nightmare

I honestly dont know how to stop doom the dark ages from crashing lol

[vale fossil]

Hello

[grim cloud]

waht demons do you think will return in the DLC? We know there is the archvile returning

[vale fossil]

You ask me ?

[grim cloud]

asking anyone who cares to answer

[vale fossil]

I hope hmmm

Lemme think

What demons

[lament hemlock]

From my very limited knowledge of games, it looks like some file is missing somehow

[grim cloud]

doom 64 pain elemental and classic baron/hell knight I would love to see

[vale fossil]

I know that DOOM TDA doesnt have some, that Eternal did have

[lament hemlock]

I haven't played dark ages myself so I can't exactly help with that

[wintry scaffold]

my verified Files seened to not pick anything up

at all I am surprised why it didnt add the file back

mabye I need to redownload the game?

[vale fossil]

Nah

[lament hemlock]

guess its worth trying

[vale fossil]

Try umm

[lament hemlock]

I assume your saves will be fine

[vale fossil]

Do the I CANT THINK NO MORE AT THIS TIME OF THE DAY

[visual cove]

i dont own dark ages either but i found this fix of same problem on steam

if you have this error in windows:
Windows search bar -> device manager -> display adapters -> right click and disable the device on your iGpu

[vale fossil]

You can re-load ur files in steam

Alr Nerds gtg go to sleep gn

[unkempt dragon]

not a bad idea

uninstall and reinstall

[grim cloud]

if we hunt the council down in the DLC, will it be a mini boss fight or just a quick time event like the priests in Doom Eternal ...

[craggy breach]

It's not a returning enemy but I'm pretty sure i remember Hugo saying there will be a new enemy that is as challenging as the marauder

[versed quarry]

I thought that was supposed to be the aggadon hunter

[craggy breach]

I thought that too but apparently not. I might be wrong but pretty sure he said that in a stream last year

[versed quarry]

Oh

[craggy breach]

If it is true then this dlc bout to be tough

[versed quarry]

Aggadon hunter but more aggadon hunter/J

[craggy breach]

Pretty much lol

I know its unlikely but I'd love to see a flying super heavy

[versed quarry]

64 pain elemental please

[craggy breach]

Pain elemental in the dark ages setting would actually go so hard

An armoured pain elemental would be brutal

[wintry scaffold]

I ctually really like the aggadon hunter

Its a cool enemy

[craggy breach]

Me too, I think my fav is still the komodo

[grim cloud]

I still miss the classic caco

[wintry scaffold]

hate how much its killed me in my ultra nightmare runs but its cool

#videos message I still dont know how I died here lol

[craggy breach]

I have yet to attempt un

But respect to people that do damn

[wintry scaffold]

I beat pandemonium

Just ultra nightmare is killing me

[craggy breach]

How far have you made it?

[wintry scaffold]

that clip I showed there

Is how far ive gotten

first ever shield rune

[craggy breach]

Ancestral Forge

That's pretty damn good

[wintry scaffold]

thats also with shotguns only mind you

[craggy breach]

So making it even harder lol

[wintry scaffold]

Found it easier lol

[craggy breach]

You have my respect

Oh fair, tbf supershot gun is my go to

Deletes demons

[wintry scaffold]

HOWEVER THE START BEFORE YOU GET THE SSG

IM SO GLAD U GET SSG AFTER THE FLYING SECTION BEFORE THE VAGYR PART

I cannot tell you how many times ive died before I even got the ssg

[craggy breach]

Oh god I ain't surprised tbf, having to get up close without the SSG. Sheesh

[wintry scaffold]

vagyr champion still refuses to take an CG to the face sometime

Ive died more to random bullshit though

and cyberdemons

fuck that woods section where They decided a cyberdemon with random spawning mancubi was a good idea

[craggy breach]

Have nightmares imps got you?

Because those and shield gunners I'd hate

[wintry scaffold]

nope

Not at all

Mabye died one time to a stone imp because I wasnt looking

[grim cloud]

looking at art station stuff. why isn't have of this in the art book! TDA stuff especially.

[uneven dragon]

can you send?

[grim cloud]

We need a complete concepts art anthology book of every demon and enviroment

[wintry scaffold]

#videos message Forgot how bad release day doom was

[warm ibex]

only so much can go into an art book

more artwork means more full color pages, more pages means higher production cost, higher production cost means higher consumer price. if it's priced too high then you end up pricing out a lot of your target audience and don't make the money needed to keep it going

[unkempt dragon]

Also the time lost on it vs. what it would sell yeah

[wintry scaffold]

I honestly loved the artbook as it is

so many lovely pages

[grim cloud]

i mean i understtand that, did the art books not sell well enough for new ones

I had to rebuy the Eternal one, it was very expensive

[warm ibex]

it's generally a one and done thing

[wintry scaffold]

The doom the dark ages one is my fave cause I also got the doomslayer figure which is massive btw

[grim cloud]

yah well ill love a Art Tome for the demons at least, probably would sell the most, but fuck i want it all in one stop, maybe ill just make my own

[warm ibex]

I'd want a 2016 artbook reprint above all else, hasn't been in print for ages and costs $300+ USD on the second hand market

[grim cloud]

2016 artbook has the highest quality binding and stuff. very durable.

[scenic lichen]

yall

drop the most underrated song from TDA

[elder raven]

divine retribution

[scenic lichen]

true...

steel beyond the grave got far too little recognition

[uneven dragon]

i'd say blood red but people have come around on it

[uneven dragon]

cause the official mix is not quite to my liking

[scenic lichen]

fair, i love the vibe the song sets for the level

[uneven dragon]

being on the dragon in level 5th and blood red playing is like

idk it stuck in my brain. yk the part of blood red i mean the really epic swell near the end

[split gate]

Blood Red got a million views in FM’s channel, so happy it’s getting recognition

[hearty edge]

ngl what lies below

[final dune]

apotheosis

[placid bough]

I FINALLY beat waltz! But I had to use the BFC in round 2 and was switching between holy swarm/heaven splitter 😅

[gleaming vortex]

chat I have escaped the siege 1 hell in ultra nightmare. now the game really gets hard 🙁

[gusty rock]

I just finished the campaign for the first time and now I just have the mastery challenge achievement left.

[obsidian shard]

Real

Personally its Hellspawn Rift

and Colossus Unleashed

(Although Colossus Unleashed & steel beyond the grave are the 2 most listened Mixes I've made)

[fleet spruce]

Hellspawn Rift my beloved

[twilit stone]

Black Mire my beloved

[gleaming vortex]

Atlan Battleground my beloved

[gloomy vortex]

Infernal chasm my beloved

[mystic barn]

Wither & Writhe, Between Hex & Flame, Apotheosis, Colossus Unleashed, Hellspawn Rift, Steel Beyond the Grave, Pursuit of Demons

[neon gust]

I've been really loving Atlan Battleground and Ancestral Beast as sleeper picks

Ancestral Beast sounds an awful lot like Nobody Told Me About id

And the ingame mix when you encounter the Komodo Champion for the first time really hits

Atlan Battleground has the Doom 64 Title Theme motif too

It's an awesome reference

[earnest mulch]

Pursuit of Demons and Hellspawn Rift became my favorite tracks and I didn’t see them talked about as much online as the other songs

[neon gust]

Generally speaking I'm just glad people are enjoying the soundtrack of TDA. I think it's a really great soundtrack and I was getting tired of people shitting on it because "it's not Mick Gordon"

[earnest mulch]

Hellspawn Rift sounds like something from Doom 1 or 2

[neon gust]

It hasn't been Mick Gordon for a minute now

[neon gust]

I think this is something that's important to consider yeah, this entire soundtrack sounds like how you would expect Classic Doom to sound if they didn't have engine / tech limitations back then, and I really love that

[earnest mulch]

The main critique I have for the TDA soundtrack is the ambient/out of combat music. It’s not as memorable as the other games. The ambient tracks in 2016 and Eternal had me focused and pumped up

[neon gust]

idk man I feel like ambient tracks in this game have been great

I've been especially liking Cosmic Sea playing throughout the entire cosmic realm

The simple yet memorable notes as well as those booming sounds remind me a lot of Doom Eternal's ambient tracks

[earnest mulch]

I’d say the TDA ambient tracks fit the different settings and they create tension, laying out that it’s a war. A lot of (not all) 2016 and Eternal ambient tracks made it feel like you are the Slayer and you are angry and ready to kill demons

[uneven dragon]

cosmic sea is one of the best calm tracks in the series tho (i know it's not ambience but i'm specifying out of combat ones)

[uneven dragon]

tbh not a whole lot of them are that memorable for me outside of 2016's

[earnest mulch]

Oh yeah and I mean any of the music when out of combat when I say “ambient”

[uneven dragon]

eternal usually has actual tracks and not ambience when out of combat

[uneven dragon]

ohh ok then idk i think it's about on par

cosmic sea is definitely a top 3 out of combat track out of nudoom

[earnest mulch]

It works really well when you’re solving the weird puzzles in those levels

[split gate]

There’s a lot of people who enjoy the ost, just drowned out by an angry mob who thinks 10 people like it

[uneven dragon]

didnt help that id software did horrible audio mixing on launch

[torpid vale]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1506275187438387263/1506283444341047387/mancubussy.gif

[earnest mulch]

True, and I’d bet some of the crashes people experienced influenced their opinions too

[split gate]

That one disappointed me when I found out, new composers need to shine at the first chance they could and they weren’t able to

[uneven dragon]

at least it's fixed but :/

[uneven dragon]

yeah idk id hasnt exactly done a great job with their composers after mick

tag 1 + 2 also have horrible audio mixing and they refuse to let levy and andrew make a soundtrack album lol

:///

[fading bone]

@obsidian shard new gif for your collection

[earnest mulch]

A shame cause they did an excellent job

On the topic of music, new songs coming with the DLC is exciting

[harsh egret]

yup, and finishing move are composing it

(just in case anyone didnt know yet cuz they officially/publicly confirmed it on their insta story a few days ago)

[silent surge]

we better go back there in the dlc

[silent surge]

i missed this

[ionic glade]

My pick as well for underrated. That main riff is thick

[neon gust]

I really don't understand this honestly. Like yeah I get that with Mick there was trouble; but Andrew Hulshult and David Levy have done a great job with the TAG soundtrack

And Andrew Hulshult even released idkfa fully in 2024 so what exactly was the issue in TAG

[obsidian shard]

Like in-game, Tracks dont play when they should, Its playing wrong parts during the level, etc etc

Dark Ages had the same issue at launch

[neon gust]

No I'm not talking about that

[obsidian shard]

Also WAYYY too quiet

[neon gust]

This part I get, I've experienced it

I'm talking about the lack of a soundtrack release for TAG

[weak gust]

Yeah, the mixing is extremely odd

Especially on UAC Atlantica Facility

[golden quarry]

Hello guys

[errant osprey]

Hello bro

[golden quarry]

Heeeelloo

I M very excited for the new dlc of doom tda

Hopefully

[fleet spruce]

started playing BioShock while waiting for the DLC

[solar spoke]

My steam controller arrived

TDA is unreal with it lol

[golden quarry]

Steam controller

Steam supports controller now?

[solar spoke]

Ye

[solar spoke]

Not just that, they've made a controller out of steam

Engineering marvel

[solar spoke]

I would genuinely recommend it though if you're on steam, it's a great controller

[golden quarry]

I am on steam , but keyboard is better than me

I already have a PS5 to

[elder raven]

im assuming you have one?

[grim cloud]

potentially just three more streams until the showcase (where we may or may not get a trailer for DLC)

[solar spoke]

Yep, managed to snag one right as they went on sale before Steam crashed. Took 2 weeks to arrive with shipping delays but here it is

[gusty rock]

How to do the thermal runaway and hunter challenge

[hearty edge]

valve made a controller called the steam controller

it has a trackpad

it's made by valve

it's great

[hearty edge]

which are

[gusty rock]

Nevermind

[unkempt thicket]

There is an easter egg that happens when you drop it

[uneven dragon]

the dlc will introduce mindweavers but give them a plasma gun instead

[gusty rock]

Finished TDA with all acheivements.

[solar spoke]

Indeed there is lol

[wanton magnet]

How is doom the dark ages

[obsidian shard]

Good

[wanton magnet]

Ah

[hearty edge]

bad

[wanton magnet]

Hmm

[hollow sapphire]

Does anyone know where all the demonic essences for armor are? Every levels checklist says I have all of them but I'm at 140 armor and the trophy hasn't popped

[obsidian shard]

The level checklist is bugged

[hollow sapphire]

Bugged how

[obsidian shard]

Shows Stuff you dont have

[hollow sapphire]

How can I figure out which one I'm missing

[obsidian shard]

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Demonic_leader

It'll show which demon, level and what type: it has all that you need!

[hollow sapphire]

Ok I hope it works because both the past games have super bugged trophies and made me have to replay them

[obsidian shard]

haha ya hey do lol, Had to replay DOOM (2016) Like 3-5 times to get the Cyberdemon Achievement

[gusty rock]

It's good but the campaign has low replayability

[hollow sapphire]

The weapon mastery trophy in eternal is so annoying

[gusty rock]

More annoying than TDA?

[obsidian shard]

The TDA one is more or less just a visual bug

[gusty rock]

I didn't have any visual bugs playing it.

[obsidian shard]

The bug E-Scope is referring to

[gusty rock]

Also how do you do those kill animations that isn't just a finising melee?

I've only done them a handful of times on accident

[obsidian shard]

Jump above an enemy to trigger a Glory Kill

Big reason for the change is to Smooth out combat in its entirety, particularly with the melee system

[gleaming vortex]

chat i have beaten forge in UN this is the farthest I've gotten

[elfin holly]

Gotta love those glory kill with the mancubus and the cyber demon when you split of half with the shield

[spiral crest]

fr

[hearty edge]

finishing melee huh

that's quite the Finishing Move™

[hearty edge]

am i the only one that hasn't had any bugs with the achievements

[obsidian shard]

Hugo: "We need a new composer for the new DOOM Game"

id Dev: Bursts into room "Hey Hugo I got news on the new Finishing Moves"

Hugo: "Say that Again"

[hearty edge]

well except for the melee upgrades one for doom the dark ages, i got that before i even got the dreadmace

[hearty edge]

drums is so real

[obsidian shard]

which one is that?

[hearty edge]

oh wait no, the one i got early was the essentially unstoppable one (acquire all demonic essence upgrades)

got it a day before finishing the campaign

[obsidian shard]

Bro, they used so many interesting instruments for sound textures and all that, of course quite a bit of synth stuff (ie, Choir, additional sound textures.)

[uneven dragon]

This is why I got so annoyed with the Mick comparison

But!! But mick used a chainsaw!! He cares more!!

As if finishing move didn’t break out tons of random shit for TDA

[twilit stone]

i think it's just that Eternal had better marketing, there was more hype surrounding it. TDA by comparison didn't do a lot to lift itself up. That's not me bashing the game itself, it's just these things are less well known because the game's marketing didn't really do it much favour in terms of "getting it out there" so to speak

[uneven dragon]

Nah people were hating due to the situation

Which is fine to hate on one specific guy for if you believe Mick but not the new music team bruh

[uneven dragon]

This is true in general though

Eternal kinda had ridiculous hype behind it never before seen or after tbf tho

[twilit stone]

also that

[uneven dragon]

It sold better than Doom 3 which was the best selling game prior

[twilit stone]

really??

[uneven dragon]

Yeah

[twilit stone]

damn that's shocking to me, everyone talks about it like a failure lol

[uneven dragon]

Doom 3…? Or Eternal…?

[twilit stone]

oh wait I thought you said Doom 3 was the highest selling game, god im slow lmao

makes more sense now

[uneven dragon]

well doom 3 was the highest selling game before eternal

2016 didn't even dethrone it

[twilit stone]

that's crazy, considering the reputation both games have

[obsidian shard]

Also Covid was a HUGE Boost

[uneven dragon]

doom 3's current reputation is revisionist history

you can check the average hater and they're like 15

[twilit stone]

fr ong, that game slaps and I am ashamed that I skipped it initially when I first got into the series

[uneven dragon]

🔥 🤝

[versed quarry]

I didn’t even think of that

[unkempt dragon]

#general

[elfin holly]

Dawg ¿where is the last secret on the ressurrection mission ?

i literally searched all over the place

[fading bone]

when you land on the makyr;s ship turn around

its a codex right behind the landing zone

[elfin holly]

you kidding
i'm gonna check

yeah i guess i'm just f*cking stupid

thanks by the way

[hearty edge]

and the fact that people needed something to do with their free time

and a stress reliever where you kill demons while flying all across the arena seemed like a good option

[hearty edge]

I'm 15 and it's lowk peak

except for the fact u just don't know how much damage each demon has taken

[uneven dragon]

is this not true of most of the games other than eternal and tda

[hearty edge]

I feel that in 2016 you could still figure it out

And the amount of damage it takes for each enemy to die in classic doom is super baked into my head idc

Doom 3's damage also feels somewhat inconsistent

[wide siren]

interesting, never found that to be an issue in any of the new dooms

[uneven dragon]

tbh i like that it adds to the horror

for games like TDA though seeing the physical damage is way cooler

[twilit stone]

I think it's because 3's demons don't really stagger/flinch

[fading bone]

posted a new ripatorium preset if anyone wants to try :)

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[craggy breach]

Seeing as we likely have a few weeks before the reveal of the dlc. What are everyone's top 3 levels in the base game?
For me personally it's
1)Spire of Nerathul
2)Harbour of Souls
3)Resurrection

[errant osprey]

1.Siege - Part 1
2. Harbor of Souls
3. Khalim
4. Spire of Nerathul

[craggy breach]

Solid selection

[golden quarry]

Idk either

[fading bone]

1. Temple of Lomarith
2. City of R'yuul
3. Siege 1

[uneven dragon]

1. Harbour of Souls
2. Temple of Lomarith
3. Siege Part 1

[hearty edge]

1. Harbor of Souls, best gameplay, great level design, BERSERK, what more to ask for?
2. Siege Part 1, the level where TDA truly becomed TDA
3. Reckoning, that first and last arenas sold me on it, also Infrernal Chasm is the OST so im biased

[uneven dragon]

the intro to harbour of souls felt like i was levitating

that was some of the best fanservice ever lol

[craggy breach]

Harbour of souls is actually peak, one of my favourite levels in fps history

[golden quarry]

My fav is Final Battle , bc of the The Old One

[stray urchin]

same for me but different order

1. Harbor of Souls
2. Resurrection
3. Spire of Nerathul

[warm ibex]

1. Resurrection
2. Harbor of Souls
3. Temple of Lomarith/Forsaken Plains (tie)

[grim cloud]

Siege #1, Harbor of Souls for me,. Not sure what id pick for 3rd

I like the Barracks, but I also like the abbysal forest tile set (just wish it was more foresty and longer)

[versed quarry]

(1.) Final Battle
(2.) Resurrection
(3.) Aratum

[fading bone]

aratum actually is lowkey a good map

i always find myself enjoying it whenever i get there

[versed quarry]

I get that the Serrat sequences aren’t great, but they’re still fun.

[fading bone]

yeah i honestly dont mind the dragon parts of levels

i like how expansive they make the levels feel

and it makes for fun routing options

doing the speedrun route on aratum with the dragon feels quite satisfying

[versed quarry]

Yeah, I feel like Dark Ages is really good at setting a scale for all of the giant shit that it shows.

It feels consistent

[grim cloud]

i like the other open levels too, finding little mini dungeons is fun

[versed quarry]

Sans maybe, the belly of the beast level

[oak temple]

Harbor of Souls
The Forsaken Plains
Sentinel Command Station

[craggy ether]

[oak temple]

Kind of in the mood to replay TDA again

[earnest mulch]

Sentinel Command Station is one of my favorites too, the flow of combat and finding secrets is really well done

And it has great music

[compact adder]

1. siege - Part One: the sheer openess of the level and the environments within the level are just stunning. Plus, “Unholy Siege”
2. City of Ry’uul: I’ve never been that into HP Lovecraft or Chthulu, but holy shit, this level is eerily gorgeous and unique. Plus, “Into The Void”
3. Harbor of Souls: Driving da boat. Nuff said. (Also, Battle on the Blackened Tide, Zombie Slayer, Berserk and three of my favorite cutscenes)

[grim cloud]

i wonder if the toll demon had a family. Doomguy just killed the guy for just doing his job

[versed quarry]

I think he was one of the Hell priests

[elder raven]

charon but that would be an entirely new doom game just saying

[spiral crow]

For me my top 3 levels in the base game would be

1. Siege part 1
2. The Holy City Of Aratum
3. Sentinel Barracks

In terms of top 3 Songs in the base game for me it would be

1. Battle On The Blackened Tide
2. Unholy Siege
3. Blood Red

[harsh egret]

just as a heads up, no Hugo stream until the 4th of june as per @obsidian shard

[spiral crow]

Huh? Seriously? Any reasons on why?

[harsh egret]

probably working hard on dlc atm lol

[spiral crow]

Why am i even asking lol, they are making a dlc SHIT

[harsh egret]

like the other times they couldnt stream

[spiral crow]

I had a brain fart, i was so confused on why no stream then i remember....they are working on the dlc XD

I had the DLC off my mind and doom in general since i'm taking a massive break from doom till the dlc drops

[warm ibex]

is sorta worth mentioning that a stream being scheduled on June 4th doesn't mean that they won't have time to do one beforehand, just that they fully plan on doing one that day

[harsh egret]

i mean if its the only one scheduled on the bethesda website then i think thats the only one prob

[frail bloom]

Would track

Two week breaks are getting more frequent

[warm ibex]

or just the only one they can guarantee will happen 😅

[harsh egret]

maybe maybe

[solar cairn]

Let them calmly work, because WE HOPE the trailer soon

[delicate stirrup]

I hope we learn who the Wretch is in the DLC

[solar cairn]

Demon

[versed quarry]

Its just a brand-new character because they never actually came up with who the wretch is.

[uneven dragon]

didn't they imply on a stream the wretch is a sentinel and not a demon :/

[versed quarry]

Yeah'

[uneven dragon]

laaame

[versed quarry]

My money is on Valen

[versed quarry]

Yeah

I think M0no's idea of it being Belias was coolest.

[hearty edge]

hellspawn rift underrated fr

[uneven dragon]

i hope it is but it's probably gonna be a sentinel

if it ends up being valen that is incredibly incredibly lame and just continues the trend of eternal of them merging every single character ever

[versed quarry]

Yeah

I do kinda feel like its a little higher of a chance of it being Belias, because what else is the point of hime being a special character and not just a generic Hell priest.

Why else would he need his own codex entry.

[uneven dragon]

cause hes cool

i did like him i did enjoy there being opposing viewpoints in the hell forces

[versed quarry]

He ain't cool unless hes the wretch.

[versed quarry]

It was kinda nice to see the nuance and politics of Hell though. Still don't know whether Belias warrants his own codex but it was nice.

[uneven dragon]

he seems perfect for his own codex

you understand all you need to know about him from the cutscenes and the codex can provide additional context

which is a problem some other games had

[versed quarry]

I dunno

[obsidian shard]

It was Belias/Hell Priests

[versed quarry]

Huh

[obsidian shard]

The Codex was about Hell Priests and Belias

[versed quarry]

Oh they shared one?

[obsidian shard]

Yes

[versed quarry]

Oh

I forgored

[solar cairn]

Really?

The sentinels don’t seem to have such technologies

[wintry scaffold]

still not past where I last clipped my death

ultra nightmare sux

[hearty edge]

i'm 67% sure that wasn't there at launch

at least the mancubi

[wintry scaffold]

its the one where a hell knight shows up out of nowhere with an arachnatron just behind it ands then a cyberdemon with mancubi spanws near it

[hearty edge]

ik what area u're refering to

the cyberdemon aint even that bad but the mancubi are hell

[wintry scaffold]

its before you get the first rune so its obviously so bad

[hearty edge]

eh not like ground fissure would help u that much

none of the demons there do hell surge projectiles

but actually yea not having the last ssg upgrade is bad

[earnest mulch]

I commend the people who go for ultra nightmare

I’ll take regular, thank you!

[merry sapphire]

thats so lameeeeeeeeeeeee

[uneven dragon]

Yea </3

[sudden stump]

Really hope the wretch isn't just some sentinel, otherwise why do testaments make such a deal out of it lol

[final dune]

yeah same

[sudden stump]

I hope Belias is the wretch, just makes a lot more sense to me

Dude just seems tired of his people trying to kill the slayer over and over for nothing

[unkempt dragon]

@golden granite no spamming

[hearty edge]

he looked dissappointed af in the final cutscene lol

[uneven dragon]

thats my big hope but knowing id itll be valen

[spark elm]

On this playthrough, been purchasing upgrades on the fly, heck yeah

[urban star]

Can anyone here get me some audio of the game's footsteps? As little background noise as possible would be appreciated.

[last geyser]

I dont think he will be the wretch but i have a theory he will rebel against the council for that exact reason

[golden quarry]

Isn't this eternal?

like from doom eternal not from doom tda

[elder raven]

its from eternal

[golden quarry]

Yeah they should add in eternal cha then

[uneven dragon]

it's related to a dark ages theory

[golden quarry]

Oh

[merry sapphire]

why is it forbidden isnt like evil torture shit hells thing

[split gate]

Nah torture is too far, they can invade and kill a whole planet but torture? That’s bad and kind of mean

[hearty edge]

Only kinda tho

[alpine pilot]

[earnest mulch]

Who else completed the game without realizing you can hold the shield throw for slow motion

[fading bone]

yeah i didnt realize that was a thing for a long time lol

tbh still have never actually used it

[golden quarry]

Idk either

[earnest mulch]

It can make for some cool moments, I use it sometimes now, it's fun

[manic falcon]

I haven’t played in awhile has a dlc for dark ages came out

[split gate]

It came out (I’m from the future months from now)

[manic falcon]

Aaaaaah

[obsidian shard]

Not yet, but we have tons of info so far!

[crisp frigate]

With how long this DLC is taking, it honestly feels like it could end up being a separate game, like Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business

[obsidian shard]

Hugo did say "It's basically like a sequel"

[grim cloud]

hopefully its big, but he coulnd't answer if it was bigger than TAG1&2.

[sleek quail]

No stream today?

[elder raven]

nop

[hazy pasture]

E

[open knoll]

Why when I want to finish a demon (when it's purple) when pressing "E" it's using a melee charge??

It's supposed to be "on the house"

[topaz axle]

Your Doom Slayer is tired

[open knoll]

??

[topaz axle]

Let him rest for 2 days and you'll be able to kill demons without wasting melee charges

[open knoll]

Seriously, is it supposed to be like that?

[ebon lynx]

no idk why it would do that

[open knoll]

I have the mace equipped, and everytime I press the E button to finish then it's using the mace.

[fading bone]

are you sure youre not waiting too long?

and it just barely comes out of daze?

[open knoll]

I will test it again.. maybe I am

[ebon lynx]

I mean even if it comes out of a daze state mid strike it should still be a free hit

[fading bone]

it might take wind up into account as well. if it comes out of daze during the windup it might count. i havent actually tested that but i have noticed that it doesnt do killing damage when that happens sometimes

[open knoll]

I have another question guys, I just started this game about a month ago, did the damage get nerfed at some point? Because I see streams on youtube from when the game came out, and it seems like they do more damage..and they are on nightmare and I am only on ultra violence..

Or maybe I just suck

It takes me 2 or 3 headshots point blank with the SSG on certain enemies.

[ebon lynx]

there's been a good amount of rebalance for weapons and enemies

since launch I mean

[ebon lynx]

Also only some guns can do headshot damage (headshots are indicated by yellow hit markers)

[fading bone]

yeah there were some balance changes but SSG was brought back to being strong again

but some demons just are stronger and take more shots

also have to factor in if shock is applied or not or if you have the upgrades to the guns or not

as those would impact the interactions as well

[nova patio]

||Dang i see the dead of serrat :( Does anyone know if he'll be back in the DLC?||

[fading bone]

hope not that would be lame

[ebon lynx]

ngl I'm hoping the dragon gameplay doesn't come back

[nova patio]

Lol why? For my was great

[fading bone]

its quite underwhelming compared to the normal gameplay

[nova patio]

I have the same problem but with the mecha

[ebon lynx]

it's because I've played this game again and again and the break from regular combat is tedious for me

I liked the mech combat more but not by much

[nova patio]

Oohh i see, same here but with mecha hahaha, i prefer the dragon

[fading bone]

you might wanna spoiler this since rpggamer is still playing through first time and might read it

[nova patio]

Oh sorry

[nova patio]

Was too dificult for my, i play tda in... 50 fps? Haha

[solar spoke]

Hello fellow people, is the stream occurring tonight at the usual hour?

[frail bloom]

There's one scheduled for June 4th

Any dates before have not been visibly scheduled

[nova patio]

Anyway i hope see the beast boi again

Im gonna play the last chapter, i hope not rage again

[frosty roost]

we'll have to see

[open knoll]

I am really dissapointed with the impaler..it supoosed to be a monster, but on strong enemies I need to dish out an entire magazine with headshots.. what the F??
It's like it's not doing any damage. What am I missing?

[fading bone]

it was nerfed

[harsh egret]

the impaler is still really good

[fading bone]

it was way too strong earlier. you need to headshot to get its damage

but yeah its still crazy good

[open knoll]

I am using the slow motion perk so my headshots are pretty accurate.. but it takes forever on some enemies.

[fading bone]

like what enemies

cause like cyberdemons will still take a good amount of shots because theyre super heavies but basically normal heavies will get owned by a few shots

[open knoll]

Whiplash for example.. it takes maybe 5 or 6 .. they refuse to die. But with the chain weapon I can kill em' in like 2 shots

[rapid glade]

Whiplashes in Eternal are a PAIN

[open knoll]

The impaler with the slow motion is fun..I really hate that I need to let it go.. I will test it a little more.

I also think I figured out the melee charge usage when I do finishers, I probable doing it from too far away.

I really need to be close to them I guess.

[ebon lynx]

the salvage upgrade for the impaler does a lot of damage

[silent surge]

other upgrade is way better

[unkempt dragon]

#announcements message

[frail bloom]

Looks like you were right

[harsh egret]

[solar spoke]

Well, I'm sad 😔

But they must be cooking hard with development too then

[worldly musk]

We should cook up more ripatoriums

[humble furnace]

I kinda wish the demons' projectiles could hit other demons instead of magically floating right through them. It's frustrating fighting mancubi and not being able to see the projectiles behind their giant asses slowly tracking you.

[nova patio]

i complete Doom tda

goty

[fading osprey]

Remember when demons could actually hit each other?

[humble furnace]

I see why they don't make it so in this game but it can get really frustrating, especially with the bigger projectiles.

I do like the idea that the demons are more locked in and don't infight as much because the Slayer is such a threat but the fact these health-bar wiping projectiles can alakazam through an enemy and jumpscare you is kinda BS.

[errant osprey]

It's really going to be tough to be away from Hugo Live for 2 weeks.
But there's no choice but to wait
They're working hard on DLC.
Maybe the nugget for their June 4th Live is that we're going to have a trailer at the Xbox event.
Although this is speculation, it could be interesting

[slate kestrel]

I just hope its good and fun. Literally no other expectations

[unkempt dragon]

That's a great attitude to have 🙂

[slate kestrel]

Well the team at ID never miss, so after cooking this long I'm sure we're fine

[hidden sapphire]

The DLC is going to be perfect, bro.

[split gate]

That’s literally all we need to check for a Doom game, id’s track record shows they’re all about fun. Not a single bad game from them

[hidden sapphire]

id Software is one of the few good companies currently.

[slate kestrel]

yeah thats the thing. Sure you might not like a game or two, but they arent bad games

[golden quarry]

Guys how do I chat
