"How to open my eyes tutorial"

[versed quarry]

Dude theres no GIFs what are you talking about

[golden quarry]

This

[versed quarry]

Bro what are you talking about you replied to a deleted message

[elder raven]

question im curious about: favorite super heavy? for me i think its the vagary or cyberdemon

or baron because ive fought enough vagaries in the last few days cause of a certain ripatorium preset

[versed quarry]

Komodo

[elder raven]

if you say so man

[versed quarry]

I wouldn't say its my favorite, but I do like them a lot. I just like to say its my favorite because people really dislike it for some reason.

[elder raven]

many reasons

[versed quarry]

Why

[elder raven]

for one the komodo ai sometimes just goes insane and starts running around for no reason

[versed quarry]

I've never seen it do that.

[elder raven]

particularly away from you (i get they're supposed to do this but the turret really doesnt make it fun at least imo)

[versed quarry]

Weird

[gusty rock]

I don't know the best way to fight komodos, they're just very fast and unpredictable.

[versed quarry]

And I am just as unpredictable, because half the time I've got no idea what I'm doing.

[wintry forge]

In terms of combat patterns and behaviors, prob the Vagary. Very fun to take on

[obsidian shard]

Accelerator is really good for em.

[wintry forge]

I just dreadmace tf outta them. Especially with the double charge

[obsidian shard]

High DPS is the way to go!

[gusty rock]

Is there a way to stop the slow motion when you parry an attack? Because I saw somebody who did that.

[elder raven]

indeed, check your difficulty settings and look for the slow mo slider

[obsidian shard]

In the settings (First tab)

You can go from 100%-0%

[obsidian shard]

Its outside of the difficulty sliders

[elder raven]

this is why i reduced rations jay

[neon perch]

I like that their reasoning for getting rid of GKs in this game was to incentivize 'executing multiple targets in rapid succession' except to make up for it every enemy snaps out of stagger in 0.5s.

Brilliant design move there.

[obsidian shard]

I have the Stagger at Max, FEELS SO GOOD

Got a really good clip of the combat yesterday!

Thank you Sliders my goat

[neon perch]

Also there's a chance the strike won't trigger and you'll just be stuck punching the target in a loop.

[gusty rock]

Is holy swarm the best shield rune?

[obsidian shard]

Any of em, I use Ground Fissure and Auto-Turret

[obsidian shard]

Thats mostly for Champions and leaders, Haven't had it happen in the Ripatorium, but i have had it happen in the main Campaign

[neon perch]

Yeah kinda fucking sucks regardless.

[gusty rock]

Does it apply to all super heavies?

[obsidian shard]

It can, but some weapons are better then others

[gusty rock]

I like using the shredder for vagarys

[obsidian shard]

The Launchers and Chainshot are best for Vagaries (imo)

[obsidian shard]

Thats a good one too

Grenade Launcher is underrated asf

[gusty rock]

Any strategy for taking on 3 cosmic barons at once in the ripatorium?

or 2 komodos

I try to just keep going around but they're too fast to avoid

[fading bone]

heaven splitter is generally considered to be the best. but ground fissure and holy swarm are both very good as well

[fading bone]

heatblast spam is the best thing vs vagaries

completely melts them and stun locks them

[fading bone]

gotta just keep your momentum and try to shield dash to other enemies around the arena to create distance and kite with rocket launcher or cycler

[gusty rock]

I got one BFC arrow but I lowk consider it cheating.

[fading bone]

yeah using bfc in ripatorium is kinda lame

[gusty rock]

But then again there's literally no air to breathe when all of these things are surrounding you.

[obsidian shard]

Waltz of the Archdemons?

[gusty rock]

Yes.

[fading bone]

yeah i mean that's basically the hardest preset so

[gusty rock]

That's why I'm playing it.

I finished it a few times on normal mode but it's usually because I use a BFC arrow when every single enemy is on top of me.

[fading bone]

what's normal mode

[gusty rock]

"hurt me plenty"

[fading bone]

ah yeah

ripatoriums don't count unless you beat them on nightmare

[gusty rock]

Nightmare with 50% damage to enemies and 1000% damage to player.

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-dexter-morgan-idk-gif-2440520923239485215

[versed quarry]

Good question

[fading bone]

i saw you react to it when it was posted

[gusty rock]

I keep forgetting that doomslayer carries all of these weapons in one arm.

[versed quarry]

He keeps them up his ass

[gusty rock]

Seems inefficient to take out every time.

[versed quarry]

His suit is built for it, so it makes it a little easier

[gusty rock]

Wouldn't his cape be in the way?

[versed quarry]

Again, its built specifically for it. The sentinel engineers are crazy.

[gusty rock]

Some might even call one of these engineers a wretch

[versed quarry]

Perchance

[gusty rock]

What weapon do you guys use against agaddon hunters?

[spark elm]

They should fix the visual glitch that shows up when you start a fresh new mission in a playthrough, it shows you’ve already collected the stuff.

[fading bone]

impaler and gauntlet combo

kills him in about 5 seconds

[uneven dragon]

i dont i just die

[versed quarry]

Same. I never actually beat any of the DOOM games. When I died, I decided thats a satisfactory enough ending for me. Makes for great gameplay, and makes the story real interesting.

[graceful rivet]

I love my lobotmy gun

[uneven dragon]

i did this with maximum doom

[versed quarry]

I did it with all of em.

[fading bone]

buying a game to...not play it. intetesting

[delicate stirrup]

Lol I just noticed that the gun that Sentinels use is the 2016 Lightning Gun but brownish.

[split gate]

https://tenor.com/view/crashout-gif-12566519885391392226

Id developers polishing the game to perfection for who knows how long only for this guy to drop the game after dying at the platform section before the first arena:

[tidal compass]

Is it too much to hope for more than 1 dlc for TDA? Was my first Doom game and really just want more of that medieval aesthetic

[split gate]

I’ve heard they’re only doing the upcoming DLC and that’s it. But they said they will be exploring that time period in the future instalments

[tidal compass]

Yes pls and thanks Hugo haha

[uneven dragon]

wish granted the current dlc splits into part 1 and 2

[urban star]

Asking again.

[scarlet dirge]

My god this is awesome, I started a fresh nightmare play-through and wow

I hope that dlc goes hard

Just get on the game and walk bro why do you want footsteps as background noise of all thinga

[golden quarry]

.

[vapid lodge]

I dreamt that I played the DLC again ffs

Something tells me I'm excited to play it

Felt so real too, new music, new enemies, I think I saw elements from Osseus too

What is wrong with me

[elder raven]

what were the new enemies

[split gate]

You time travelled bruh

[vapid lodge]

they were similar to human knights, but very armored

with spiked elements, similar to Lich King or Igris from solo leveling

[vapid lodge]

not the first time I dreamt of new DOOM content

[elder raven]

thats the one i wanted the most thanks man

[vapid lodge]

Really? Im surprised

Armored baron already kinda does what I dreamt

Maybe fallen sentinels again

Like multiple demonic versions

[golden quarry]

bro

[solar spoke]

New enemy for the dlc: Denim Komodo

[golden quarry]

👍 👍

[vapid lodge]

Rizz Komodo

[elder raven]

i was just joking lol but im interested in more zombie-like characters sorta like what you dreamed about

[golden quarry]

Wa da faq

[solar spoke]

We had Lumberjack Marauder after all, Komodo can have a little rizz

[golden quarry]

😂

[vapid lodge]

Most likely my brain already took the existing enemies and morphed them into similar variants, but nothing worth to be actually added to the game

But I really am getting excited again

Also im again disappointed in life since I am not gonna attend quake con again

I really wanna meet Hugo and the team

Every year I say "next year" but its not financially feaseble

[golden quarry]

I did a very good thing

I burned my computer

[vapid lodge]

How?

[split gate]

Bro played on UN

[vapid lodge]

I get it 🤣

[scarlet dirge]

I’m just praying they dont screw up the story again

[golden quarry]

[versed quarry]

I still payed the full price

I can do what I want

[fading bone]

"again"

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-you-mean-by-that-gif-10559980082154008380

[scarlet dirge]

Dark ages’ story had multiple annoying retcons and mistakes

[fading bone]

like what

[obsidian shard]

Dark Ages def didnt have a bad story

[fading bone]

i thought it was fun

and its doom, its not that serious

[hazy pasture]

And what are those retcons?

[scarlet dirge]

Titan’s needing a crucible blade to die

[obsidian shard]

In Eternal and 2016 we see dead titans (not killed by the Crucible)

[fading bone]

knew that was gonna be the one lol

[scarlet dirge]

And the spirit inside Thera is the last one when see more in eternal and 2016

I’m not saying the story is horrible

Anyways if you are curious about the problems i got with the story youtube has hours of video explaining in detail the problems

[fleet spruce]

do you mean that Eternal retconned itself because there are bunch of dead titans in early levels

[obsidian shard]

Eternal saying "Titan’s needing a crucible blade to die" is more of a retcon since we see dead ones in all 3 games

[scarlet dirge]

Yeah these problems that are reoccurring I also hate

[obsidian shard]

The Wraith could be the Last KNOWN Wraith (they might not know about the others yet)

• also with the Maykr's making Wraith Worship illegal can add on to this

[scarlet dirge]

That was just the easiest one to point out

[fading bone]

its not a very strong one though

[obsidian shard]

Also at the the end of the Turret sections, the TItans are still alive

[hazy pasture]

Yeah only atlans and "wraith energy/argent energy" empowered weaponry can kill titans

Turrets definitely only take em out for a good amount of time but don't kill em

[lapis surge]

I hope whenever this dlc comes out there's more Titan missions those missions are awesome 😎

[versed quarry]

Read that as “Dark ages def didn’t have a story” for a second

[obsidian shard]

Skip all the Cutscenes and the VA and it doesnt

[versed quarry]

Fair

[frail bloom]

You don't need the crucible, it's just the way samuel phrased it that's confusing

The crucible keeps them in stasis

If you just kill them, they'll always come back

Hence why ahzrak crucified a ton of them in the last level, they were most likely the titans from the last level

But he just decided to punish them

Prob my headcanon for that last bit but it's cool to think abt

[open knoll]

Why the secrets screen is showing that I got all the crafting material, but I still have more on the map?

Feels like a bug

Like its not updating to the current chapter or something

[obsidian shard]

Its a bug

[spark elm]

They gotta fix it

[open knoll]

Surprising..after so much time.

[hidden sapphire]

Listen

[obsidian shard]

Not really

The game hasn't been updated in 7 months

Hopefully the Big DLC/Ripatorium 3.0 update fixes it.

[open knoll]

Yeah.. hope so. But at least it's a known bug, I thought maybe my game got corrupted or something 🙂

[sharp apex]

There should be a way we can all play online with each other in doom the dark ages

[hidden sapphire]

What do you think of the platinum trophy for The Dark Ages?

[versed quarry]

I’m sure somebody will mod it in eventually

[wintry nexus]

A lot of fun, especially since you’re not forced to play online to get the trophy

[golden quarry]

I am planning to beat doom tda cmaphain on Pandemonion now

[spiral crow]

That bug is my arch enemy, it makes me go mentally insane

[uneven dragon]

It’s also a ginormous retcon to the Icon

[versed quarry]

Well the Icon in 2 could’ve been temporarily dead, just long enough to halt the invasion on Earth.

[uneven dragon]

It’s still dead in 2016

[versed quarry]

It’s said to be slumbering in 2016, not dead.

[uneven dragon]

💤

[versed quarry]

Yeah

[vocal brook]

hugo martin

[fading osprey]

Wait there’s two icons of sin?

[warm ibex]

no

[fading osprey]

Oh

I’m confused

[warm ibex]

what's up?

[fading osprey]

Icon in 2?

[warm ibex]

what about it 🤔

[fading osprey]

Is he saying there’s more than one or…

It’s tickling my brain

[warm ibex]

the icon in doom II

which is the same as the dormant icon in 2016, the resurrected icon in Eternal and the icon that invades Argent Dnur after the betrayal

[fading osprey]

Ah

Do we see anything related to the dormant icon in 2016?

[warm ibex]

we see its skull embedded in the wall

[fading osprey]

Which map

I might want to find it

[uneven dragon]

but not the same as the Plutonia Icon

jury’s out on TNT

[warm ibex]

The Necropolis. You get a collectible for shooting the sigil in the center of its head!

[fading osprey]

Oh wait ik what u mean!

I did that!

[warm ibex]

hell yeah!

[fading osprey]

Yeah!

Shadows don’t scare Commander Keen!

[uneven dragon]

prooobably not the same as the master levels icon either though that one has apparently fought Doomguy in the past

[uneven dragon]

The best easter egg in the modern games tbh

[gusty rock]

What weapons do you guys use against cosmic barons?

[pastel pebble]

I usually go with the super shotty

[gusty rock]

Every single enemy just despawned in the ripatorium but the timer is still going down.

[uneven dragon]

Mace

[gusty rock]

And it just happened again.

[stray urchin]

accelerator, SSG, rocket launcher, ravager

[warm ibex]

mostly the impaler

[sharp apex]

Super shotgun and rocket launcher

[errant osprey]

Ravager

[gusty rock]

I just completed waltz of the archdemons without using a BFC arrow

Keeping my distance and using the dreadmace helped a lot.

[hearty edge]

I think they explaindd that its just for them to remain dead and be unable to come back

Except that also doesnt make sense since titan's realm

[hearty edge]

Rocket

[slim oriole]

If there is something (the Crucible) that can kill them, why wouldn't there be other things?

What I see is that the Titans run out of energy, are completely destroyed, they don't need their bodies to have muscles or organs to function, and they simply enter a long sleep until they heal.

It's something that's mentioned in Eternal, an "immortal slumber"

[slim oriole]

And by healing, I mean restoring their energy, their body parts are very irrelevant

[golden quarry]

Plasma Accelerator

or

Super shutupgun

[real crater]

super shotgun all day every day 24/7

[sudden stump]

For me barons always get the gauntlet + SSG combo

maybe a shield bash thrown in towards the end for cool factor

[next coral]

Accelerator with heat blast

[spark elm]

Even though I would 100% a mission on Pandemonium, sadly can’t fix chapters 7-9, I watch a video of the collectibles just to be sure I actually have everything, and not have to restart the mission from quitting.

[fading bone]

impaler

[gusty rock]

10 replies, man.

[fading bone]

you're welcome

[spark elm]

Yay no visual glitch on chapter 19

[gusty rock]

Yeah I guess there's no 100% correct way for ripping and tearing.

[fading bone]

nearly every weapon is very strong in this game and its designed that way

but there's a few options that are definitely better than others in certain situations

[gusty rock]

Such as?

[fading bone]

heatblast spam vs vagaries is absolutely insane and absolutely the easiest/quickest way to kill them

close range SSG vs most demons as well nukes them

moreso in combination with a charged shield dash

[open knoll]

Why it takes 4 or 5 slow motion headshots from the impaler to kill a frikin' whiplash??? On ultra violence!

This weapon is bad..excuse me

She is in shock state after a parry..and I need to dump 4-5 shots to its head to kill. This is absurd

The chain do this in 2 shots

[fleet spruce]

that's because chainshot is awesome

[open knoll]

True. But the impaler should also be good..but it isn't. Or I am doing something wrong

No single shot weapon should take more than 2 or 3 (head)shots to kill a medium enemy imo.

Not on UV at least

[fading bone]

its not bad. whiplashes just have an insane amount of health in this game

also you might just be not actually headshotting

3 impaler headshots put it to dazed

in fact you dont even need headshots. 3 impaler shots (while it's not crawling on the ground) will always put it in dazed state

and sometimes with an empowered shot + shield stun it takes only 2 but im not sure why it's only sometimes taking 2

oh i guess its just cause of the shield stun damage sometimes taking an extra tick to go through

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/832527578891944006/1507643715613757450/impaler_whiplash_interactions.mp4?ex=6a12a620&is=6a1154a0&hm=d237f42f3739f445456d6f389116089f9906fd70d6a0b761d53b6c9205fded3d&

[open knoll]

Maybe..but in slow motion it is hard to miss, even for average like me. Also I need to include more shield bashes, I don't do it enough..

[fading bone]

examples

[open knoll]

Thx.

[fading bone]

but yeah empowered shots is waaay better than the slowmo ability

especially since the slowmo cooldown is slower than the actual base impaler fire rate

so you cant even slowmo every shot

let alone the fact that you just get extra damage with the other perk

[open knoll]

I will switch and try it.

[fading bone]

oh im dumb the double empowered shot is whats 2 shotting it not the shield saw damage

i didnt realize i was getting 2 empowered shots on it

[open knoll]

Yeah, the empowered upgrade is better. Parry shoot, dash shoot... etc. The normal shot coming out pretty fast.

I just finished the game btw 🙂

All gear is maxed, ready for the dlc.

[golden quarry]

Guys should doom tda have hammer as a Melee?

[golden quarry]

God damn

[fading bone]

ready for a nightmare playthrough you mean

[golden quarry]

Easy*

[open knoll]

I don't think I will play on nightmare. Since doom 2016 I always played on Ultra violence, it's the only difficulty for me in doom.

Out of principle I (usually) don't play any game on level when enemies are bullet sponges. This is too artificial imo.
The hell with respect or challange, It's just not fun

In the past I always used to play games on the hardest difficulties automatically, but at some point I just stopped doing that.

Btw, I don't get why there is an option to change the parameters on difficulties. I mean some are ok to mess with (parry windows etc) but I can choose nightmare difficulty and change the damage I do to enemies? and the damage they do to me?
I don't get the point.

[fading bone]

you can make the game feel exactly how you want to

most of the time its to make it harder than the base difficulty presets

the sliders are awesome

[open knoll]

But what's the point in playing on nightmare and change the damage settings? just play on lower difficulty no?
I don't get the point in that.

[fading bone]

i mean yeah i dont think many ppl do that lol

but you can just change a few settings to make certain things harder but not others

its just a customizability option

[open knoll]

Anyway, even if I wanted to attempt a nightmare run I need to get better, practice more on UV.

I actually kinda feel like playing 2016 again 🙂 TDA is awsome, but I miss glory kills. Haven't play 2016 for years.
Maybe I'll do 2016 + Eternal again.

[scarlet oasis]

is there a bug where all the major enemies died but the red hell walls still won’t go down?

[cedar matrix]

so what deals more damage the super shotgun or the chainshot?

[alpine pilot]

[sharp apex]

Definitely a fully loaded chainshot

But only when both of them have no mods

The super shotgun in the long run does more damage

[golden quarry]

Okay bro

[golden quarry]

Doom tda should have more glory kills ngl

[fading bone]

like more variety of glory kills or more chances to get them

the first i agree with, the second i dont

[golden quarry]

Should they add a hammer in doom tda of nah

[obsidian shard]

Eternal already had one

[golden quarry]

A real life hammer bro

[versed quarry]

Hitting nails mini game in Dark Ages

[golden quarry]

I was NOT talking about the sentinel bro , i was talking abt a real life hammer

[obsidian shard]

But that's a hammer....

[golden quarry]

A real life hammer is not tall and the sentinel is tall

[versed quarry]

the sentinel?

[golden quarry]

sentinel Hammer

[elder raven]

its a medieval set game. there's not going to be a modern day hammer lol

while i do enjoy the idea of a warhammer as a melee weapon, i'd prefer something new as we just got that

[golden quarry]

hm

they don't have fist in it right

[elder raven]

what

[versed quarry]

Nope, no hands were ever seen in Dark Ages.

[elder raven]

awesome

[versed quarry]

Exactly

[golden quarry]

Soo should they add it ?

[warm ibex]

wouldn't fists just be a repeat of the gauntlets 🤔

[elder raven]

yes

[spiral crow]

Okay i have a better idea, how about a chainsword, something similar to warhammer

[hidden sapphire]

American McGee sends you his regards

[golden quarry]

the power gauntlet is use 3 times and fist=∞

[fleet spruce]

sounds redundant since there's already chainsaw shield

[solar spoke]

what about a pair of nunchaku with the portions connected with chains/ropes being replaced with a mechanical blade mechanism. The slayer can wrap the Nunchaku around a demon and engage the shredding mechanism

[sudden stump]

Gauntlet can also be used endlessly as long as you nail your parries :p

[hidden sapphire]

Hi

[spark elm]

In Resurrection now I know that literally THREE of four wolf statues are literally close to each other!

Those being under a bridge, inside the wraithstone area, and the third one is close to them!

[spark elm]

Kreed Makyr is still easy!

[versed quarry]

Kinda in character. Hes seems like hed be a pushover in the lore too.

[spark elm]

I didn’t increase the damage I do on this run, and the Cycler still cooks him!

[spark elm]

You ain’t stopping me old one!!!

(I had to simplify that fight because I DID NOT wanna restart!)

[versed quarry]

"simplify" the fight. As in killing him/J

[spark elm]

Making it easier…

increasing the damage I do because I did NOT wanna have to restart the chapter from dying!

[versed quarry]

Nah its fine I was just joking

[spark elm]

And lastly, even without increasing the output, the Impaler does nutty damage to enhanced Ahzrak.

Impaler is a beast against anything.

[solar cairn]

Something is coming in 2 weeks..

[spark elm]

YESSIR

[stray pollen]

Alright since we're getting close to the DLC, I wanna know ur guys thoughts on how the boss fights will be like?

[last geyser]

More bullet hell/projectile based bosses

[golden quarry]

[stray pollen]

I personally want a boss fight that's more melee focused, getting up and personal like Ahzrak

[golden quarry]

vagary

[stray pollen]

Either way I'm down for what id can do

[golden quarry]

champion

[stray pollen]

Ngl my favorite champion fights is between Vagary and the Komodo

[golden quarry]

Vagary Champion is kind of melee based bc when he shoots 3 Green and half reds

[stray pollen]

True, i think he's a very well balanced enemy. Projectiles between hell surges and acid puddles from afar and spider leg and claws when ur up close

[split gate]

Straight hands, squabbles even

[golden quarry]

Doom tda should add Rocket Launcher (ragebait)

[fleet spruce]

they should obviously add dual wield power up that allows you to do obscene damage at the cost of higher ammo consumption

[golden quarry]

Yay i got the conqueror skin for Super Shotgun

Bro i was ragebaiting 😭

Doom tda already have rocket launcher, not same as doom Eternal

No

[harsh egret]

well maybe stop ragebaiting

[spiral crow]

Daisy.

[rapid gust]

Hello

[uneven dragon]

oof this was a good one until i recognised the poster

[split gate]

Bro knows ball

[mystic tide]

im having a bug in the tutorial of mission 2 where the shield throw on the shield guys isnt dropping any armour. Im aware u can disable the tutorial to proceed but the larger issue is that shield throwing on superheated shields is not dropping armour for me at all. I'm worried

any fixes?

[fading bone]

are you at full armor already?

[spiral crow]

I found Hugo's wanted poster in TDA

[fleet spruce]

new copy pasta just dropped

[split gate]

I removed the trademark and copyright 🫡

[fading bone]

that is some solid rage bait

[wide siren]

funny how it’s right next to daisy

[spiral crow]

I KNOW RIGHT?

[vapid lodge]

Guys, serious question, I see that John Romero is going to comic cons around the world. I've met him back in 2021 and I could not be more happy.

However do you think Hugo would ever consider doing the same thing? It is really difficult cu travel to US for me. I know he will attend quake con

[golden quarry]

😎

[golden quarry]

Where

[spiral crow]

It's in the first level where you reach the tutorial on how to use the gauntlets

[golden quarry]

which chapter (sorry i forgot bro 😃)

Hey, a scene of dr stone, season 1, episode 6, 8:59 before the end of the episode, there seem to be something like a atlan

[mystic tide]

No.

Seems to be a glitch with mission 2. Other mission I can get armour from shield throwing at heated shields

[open knoll]

I'm just gonna say it..I like the combat shotgun more than the SSG.

[golden quarry]

okay

[frank rapids]

I am a little over half way through the game, and is it bad that I pretty much only use the ssg, chain shot, rocket launcher, and nothing else?

[solar cairn]

In Doom Eternal, 3 guns are also used in a combination through a quick swap))0

I use other guns when I want to kill demons more creatively or because others have run out of ammunition

[elder raven]

this is fine. dark ages isnt like eternal where you should be using every weapon. its more of a "choose-the-weapons you like the most sorta thing." take it from someone who beat the game using only the combat shotgun, you dont have to use every weapon to be proficient at the game

[frank rapids]

ok cool

i also never really use the shield stunning ability. The only time i throw my shield is for breaking through armor or breaking energy shields

[elder raven]

to be honest with you i dont really do it either lol. i use it sometiems in a fight where i need to focus on one demon but ultimately i use it whenever i want to, not that i need to

[frank rapids]

at first i thought i was going to hate the parrying mechanic because normally i dont like timing based stuff like that

but its just so satisfying

[fading bone]

[scenic lichen]

fair take honestly the combat shotgun is the coolest in this game imo

[gleaming vortex]

yo has anyone else noticed the game crashing more recently? I feel like i’m “losing” more UN runs to a crash than a demon.

[elder raven]

gotta respectfully disagree because skullcrusher

[last geyser]

Real ball knowers know it is the accelerator

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[golden quarry]

Here

[earnest mulch]

I just watched a streamer complete Siege Part 1 on UN, then the game crashed when he selected Siege Part 2, and when he relaunched the game it had him back at 0% on Part 1

Said he plays on GamePass, not Steam (not sure if that is related)

[golden quarry]

Ai

[open knoll]

Hi guys, please remind me, the shield rune upgrades need only gold right?

I just arrived to the mines and I am planning to fully upgrade the first one. But I have 3 rubies and I want to use them for weapon upgrade.

[solid nacelle]

Yes I do believe the runes are only upgraded with gold

[open knoll]

Thx man

[fading bone]

that is correcto

[hearty edge]

Its good that you use more than 1 weapon lmao

You can go the whole game just sticking to 1 basically

Thats why i love this game

[hearty edge]

Ion like it cuz the triple shot does less damage than an ssg shot for more ammo

That said, it is cool as fuk

[open knoll]

Feels better, punchier.. The armor shards are nice too. It eats ammo for breakfast, but who cares. I can get ammo back with melee.

[pastel pebble]

We gettin closer to June 7th, hopefully we'll be getting a trailer then 🤞

[golden quarry]

Wish IT luck

[dark thunder]

what mouse yall use for doom

[teal spire]

SSG in Dark Ages sounds like trains crashing it’s so good

[hearty edge]

Freaking deathadder essential cuz i have nothin else

You only really need 2 buttons tho

[merry sapphire]

i Miss Doom Dark Ages Content

[foggy fable]

In fact, there’s plenty of content still there! Sounds like it’s time to dust off the old replay button

[elder raven]

sir they’re working on a massive story expansion

wait a tiny tiny bit longer

[compact adder]

After seeing Hell’s Core and Osseus, they’re cooking like the worlds greatest chef’s are in Hell’s Kitchen (how fitting), so we just gotta be patient. Blue balls? Yes. Worth it? Oh yes it will be!

[split gate]

We are this close to greatness, closer than we were since they revealed the bone level, and Ripatorium updates last year, we indeed can hold on a few more days

[fading bone]

the longer we wait the more guaranteed it is to be good

[wide siren]

the longer the dlc is in development the stronger it will become

[agile sonnet]

True, true

[onyx flax]

Is the jank quick swapping we have here even higher dps than just holding M1 with the SSG or the grenade launcher?

[fading bone]

quick swapping isnt a thing in TDA. you can sort of do it on 150% speed but its very niche and barely that useful

[onyx flax]

You can do it after a shield bash

Also the game speed doesn't really matter when talking about ratios

So ce you also shoot faster at 150%

[fading bone]

yeah i know but like the game speed makes it feel like its faster/smoother

like doing it on lower game speeds is just so clunky

[onyx flax]

For sure feels smoother on higher speeds

But do you happen to know if it's actually better?

[lyric plaza]

I’m bored smh 🤦‍♀️

[wheat sigil]

most things aren't strictly better or worse, depends on how and when they are applied

quick swapping can be useful in tda, but it definitely isn't always

[alpine pilot]

[onyx flax]

Well sure but can it make you do more damage or is it just cool? For example is swapping between SSG and triple burst shotgun (which I think is the most damaging) more DPS than just shooting with the SSG

[fading bone]

no

the only time i see the best tda player do it is vs leaders with ssg/impaler/RL swapping

and thats only after doing a big melee/shield dash combo

[rugged hill]

Been thinking about it for a while and I love dark ages but it couldve made for a really killer quake reboot.

It feels like the quake romero was trying to pitch before quake was in development.

[round maple]

If quake gets a new game, I hope it's made by MachineGames

[solar spoke]

If Raven Software weren't stuck in the CoD mines I'd like to see them have another crack at it

[fleet spruce]

same

[grim cloud]

12 games till the showcase! hype hype hype

[hidden sapphire]

MachineGames, leave them with Wolfenstein, I want id Software to make the new Quake

[grim cloud]

I beleive they are alrady working on the new Wolf. They also helped with level design with the new quake remasters. Nightdive did the engine updates

[uneven dragon]

Machinegames’ Quake expansions are literally the best Quake content around so I’d trust them more than anyone else

id software’s last crack at quake was subpar to say the least

[grim cloud]

pretty sure but not 100%, id is working on the next Doom game. Pretty much heavily hinted by hugo

idtech 9 also under dev

[uneven dragon]

id is never doing anything but their cash cow again

[dim hill]

[cyan quarry]

I 100%ed Doom: The Dark Ages on steam

5 Doom games I have 100%ed now

[livid widget]

I picked up the dark ages 4 days ago and I’m having such a blast! Played 2016 and eternal. This one is my absolute favourite of the 3!!!
Although I did enjoy eternal, I didn’t appreciate the multiple weapon options and comboing them, so TDA hits the mark for me in every aspect! I will replay eternal after finishing TDA tho to get another feel of it and actually try to use more than just the assault rifle and super shotgun LOL

[earnest mulch]

Glad you're enjoying! TDA is great

[cyan quarry]

Ah, please don't kill me. You're the icon of sin

[grim cloud]

on the final level, where is the best chance to get the cosmic baron challenge?

I think i missed it last time I played for full 100%

[fervent maple]

There is a gore nest that spawns two at the same time (or one close to another, I forget); I usually just BFC them there

Ayo

[thorny yarrow]

After a quick succession of play of a mid-late game level of all three new doom games, I can confidently say I absolutely adore all three of these games.

[errant osprey]

After a year of Dark Ages and before the DLC is released, I would like to know how many out of 10 you would give the game and if you would like to tell me the weaknesses of the game in this year that have bothered you
My score is 8.8
Weaknesses: Lack of variety in demons
Lack of content
The uniformity of the combat in some parts of the game
(which will most likely be solved in the first 2 parts in the DLC)

[thorny yarrow]

I'd give it a 9/10 echoing your point about the combat uniformity. But despite the uniformity, I find it extremely satisfying.

[errant osprey]

The problem of monotony is almost solved due to the variety in melee weapons and shield runes, but it may become more noticeable after repeated play.

[golden quarry]

e

[uneven dragon]

id probably give 2016 a 10/10, Eternal a 9/10, TDA.... 9.5/10?

idk realistically theyre probably more like 9/10, 8/10, 8.5 but im biased

the .5 loss is because of the dragon segments just being "flying mech" and humongous missed potential

[errant osprey]

Doom 2016 is an 8.5 for me and Eternal is a 9.7

Of course I considered the entire Eternal package with DLCs.
And Dark Ages could get a higher score after the DLC is released.

[harsh egret]

i'd put 2016 and eternal on a 9/10 and tda on 9.2/10

[errant osprey]

Tell me about the flaws that bothered you in Dark Ages.

[golden quarry]

i Put 2016 on 8.6/10 and Eternal on 9.9/10 and tda on 9.9/10

[harsh egret]

some bugs that have been in the game for a surprising amount of time
need more randomized hell surge attacks for enemies that dont have them randomized, like the armored mancubus, revenant, whiplash, etc (i mentioned this to Hugo, but maybe he forgot or they discarded the idea, we'll probably see when the dlc is out)
flail is aura but damage is too low (tho the flail will get a buff with the dlc update so we'll see)

[uneven dragon]

eternal's dlcs are why it's the lowest ranked for me 💔

i mean i love TAG 1('s gameplay... not story) but TAG 2 😬

[harsh egret]

also the dragon's mechanics are too simple

[uneven dragon]

i mean Immora is fun but the two levels preceding it ouch

[harsh egret]

interesting... i like immora the least

out of tag2

[uneven dragon]

world spear is actually really fun but only on high difficulties, on other difficulties it's just kinda long

on nightmare though it's pretty fire i'll concede

the earth level idk i never really gelled with it, it has some fun arenas but it feels a bit filler-y

[harsh egret]

i dont love the arena layout of the escalation encounter on reclaimed earth but other than that its one of my favorite levels in the whole game

[errant osprey]

I didn't consider the Atlan and Dragon mechanics myself, but rather Slayer's gameplay.
I agree with you about the random attacks, and I remember Hugo being told about it in a livestream and he liked the idea, but it hasn't been implemented yet.
Adding this feature makes projectiles look like cosmic baron projectiles.
Another bug that annoys me personally is projectiles passing through demons. Especially the classic imp projectiles passing through demons.

[uneven dragon]

my main issue with TAG 2 is that it has genuinely horrible audio mixing

[harsh egret]

the bug i hate the most is when sometimes the vagary just doesnt die to glory strikes even tho its dazed

[errant osprey]

This may be a strange opinion, but I like the TAG 2 about the same size and a little less than the TAG 1.

[harsh egret]

i sit there and spam and i hit the vagary and nothing happens

[uneven dragon]

TAG 1 is like the best 3 run level in Eternal gameplay-wise

[versed quarry]

The longer the DLC is in ID offices, the stronger it will become.

[versed quarry]

[versed quarry]

Plus, the server as a whole has had a little lull in activity because there hasn't been a ton of content.

[obsidian shard]

I don't have a life. DOOM is my blood

[hidden sapphire]

The 2020-2021 period was the peak of Doom

[versed quarry]

Same

[vapid lodge]

Makes me wonder if the pandemic gave Eternal a boost or if the increase of players has also boosted other games during the same time

[hidden sapphire]

The pandemic was the peak for many games, especially games as a service, like Fortnite or Warzone.

[elder raven]

Yes.

[versed quarry]

[versed quarry]

Who else in this server are you forcing on a diet?

[elder raven]

icon, doc, mono, etc etc

its very rigorous but i feel like its time to change topics

[versed quarry]

I see

So you just got all the important people.

[elder raven]

yeah

[versed quarry]

Got it

[elder raven]

so about that topic change… pulverizer or ravager

[uneven dragon]

which is which again

[versed quarry]

Pulverizer

[elder raven]

pulverizer is the spread shot, ravager is the variant of it idk how to describe it

[elder raven]

interesting, how so

[uneven dragon]

yeah i remember now

[fleet spruce]

whichever situation suits at the moment

[uneven dragon]

i think i like the pulverizer more on a style basis

so like purely on superficial reasonings

[versed quarry]

The wider spread

[elder raven]

i use the ravager, turret, and flail (which must be buffed) as a way to get health & armor back as soon as possible. i use this with the fists because the flail is just weak

[fleet spruce]

also speed boost, running like a maniac with speeds close to classic Doom, it's beautiful

[versed quarry]

Also true

[elder raven]

i do like the speedboost though

[frosty roost]

[solar spoke]

Idea for new enemy type: the Fomodo

[earnest mulch]

Like a Komodo that fears missing out on stuff?

[graceful rivet]

Fear of missing the parry

[frail bloom]

I'll give 2016 a good ol 9.4/10, eternal an 8.7, and tda an 8.9

Tda has the best gameplay overall for me, eternal has the best gunplay and moveset, 2016 has an unmatched atmosphere and is overall great in all areas

There's a certain level of polish in 2016

[graceful rivet]

Those are some good ratings honestly. I agree

[frail bloom]

Thank you thank you

I'd say Tag by itself is a 7/10

[graceful rivet]

yeah that also makes sense. I just finished it again.

[frail bloom]

8/10 with part one and 6/ 10 with part two

[graceful rivet]

REAL

[frail bloom]

Averages out to 7

[fading bone]

why is lack of content a weakness when the entire extra game's worth of content that theyve been making since the game released isn't out yet? the content is already confirmed, it just isn't out yet (which wouldn't suddenly make the game better)

[frail bloom]

Well tbf that extra content would help it imo. I don't like to think of ratings as final, they'll change overtime depending on a lot of things

[graceful rivet]

my rating for stuff change a lot. not just games, it's mostly movies tho

[frail bloom]

I might think the game is an 8.9 now, but when the dlc drops and all that extra content drops, and I gain an overall appreciation for the dev cycle then my ratings might change

Ratings are very liquid

[fading bone]

it just seems weird to judge a game that has new content actively being developed compared to games that have all their stuff already released

[frail bloom]

Well it's not an indicator of its quality

And you can't give it a good rating based on things that don't exist

The fact that it's above eternal for me is impressive

[fading bone]

which is why i think its strange to list as a factor in its "weakneses"

[frail bloom]

Well yeah I agree with you on that

It's tbd

Weaknesses would be smt that can't be changed

Would Eternal's weakness be that it had a bad multiplayer and only two extra remix levels at launch with no dlc?

That's ridicu-cray cray to say

Anyways

[errant osprey]

In my opinion, it is considered a weakness.
It is true that more content is going to be released, but I consider it a weakness in this one-year release package.
But overall, this score could change in the future.

[frail bloom]

The dlc hints give me major 2016 vibes so I'm abt to get the best gameplay with the best atmosphere and potentially the best story

[fading bone]

it just feels weird to criticize the game for not having enough content when its the longest game they've made yet, has a custom fighting arena with endless possibilities of encounters, and are actively developing the new content that will be released.

[errant osprey]

Doom 2016 was a great game
But in terms of gameplay, it ranks third for me.
Although it is the best game of the trilogy in terms of atmosphere and setting
It is also my favorite game because it officially introduced me to the Doom franchise with this version

[frail bloom]

Ye that's basically my reasoning except I played Doom 1 and 2 first

For like a couple years

So glad that happened

[frail bloom]

I'm with you on this one

If anything the wait means it's very meaty content

And it's fair to assume so

These days it's hard to trust a company

id is one of the good few left

[errant osprey]

The Ripatorium is not a part I want to get too involved in. Maybe it's because it doesn't motivate me, although some of the Priests are really great. That's why I prefer to play the campaign more. Out of the 250 hours of experience I had, I probably spent a maximum of 5 hours in the Ripatorium.

[frail bloom]

But the ripatorium isn't quite done with its cycle either

[errant osprey]

I first played Doom 2016 and then played the classic versions.

[frail bloom]

Ye I'm glad I'm the other way around bc I gained an appreciation for the doom series as a whole

It was easier to be less biased

[frail bloom]

Anyways I was gonna say that they're going to add dlc content to the ripatorium

Called 3.0

[errant osprey]

I agree with Gemini_19 that we are definitely going to have more content
But I thought that was a weakness in this year
Although I know we are going to see more things.
The Ripatorium is not yet fully matured.

[frail bloom]

And there's the potential for other stuff too

Like that master level campaign that's prob been put to the side not too sure but I'm assuming so bc dlc

[errant osprey]

Maybe Master campaign👀

[frail bloom]

This dlc is a good way for id to show what they can do with no deadline, no pandemic, and an overall increased experience in understanding what the people want that could potentially improve their proceeding projects

And that's why I don't oppose the long wait, Ik there's light at the end of the tunnel

[errant osprey]

Master Campaign would be great for this game, I hope they don't scrap the idea.
Although if it was scrapped because of the DLC, I don't mind because the DLC will be better.

[frail bloom]

I wouldn't say scrapped, just put aside.

From my memory, they were working on it for a couple months but the focus shifted, so I think in 2027 they'll drop that master campaign

I think*

[errant osprey]

Right now their main focus is on DLC and Ripatorium 3.0
Along with this I hope they focus on more skins.
I can't wait for the DLC and I hope we see a trailer for it soon.

[cobalt fog]

DLC is dooms gta 6

We hear about it but don’t see it

[graceful rivet]

the more we talk about it, the longer they keep from releasing it

11 days till the showcase!

[frank rapids]

the music in the cosmic realm is so good

i dont know why people didnt like the soundtrack for this game

[graceful rivet]

the soundtrack is good. But i believe that since it's not made by mick gordon, people aren't as welcoming

[frank rapids]

yeah

that main riff from what lies below melted my face off when i heard it for the first time in-game while in combat

[graceful rivet]

OOO, i might to give that a listen

[frank rapids]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4pucGGLn_w

the part at 1:15

[solar spoke]

A Komodo that had 10x health, 5x speed and 2x attack damage that you don't want to miss if you're a completionist

[sudden stump]

At launch the implementation of the music was pretty botched, too quiet and and the heavier portions wouldn't even play on most maps, so you just heard ambience. Aside from that's it's usually just "iT's nOt MiCk gOrDoN!!!!1111"

They did fix those issues with music but I think lots of people haven't come back to the game since

[fleet spruce]

it was what I believe people refer to as "love at first sight"?

[lethal lodge]

I see, thanks

[earnest mulch]

Gauntlet, Flail, or Mace?

Which do you enjoy most?

[errant osprey]

I've seen a lot of people love Flail
But I personally like Gauntlet more
I like the heaviness of Dreadmace when it hits demons.
Maybe I'll love Flail more after the update, but for now, Gauntlet is my number one.

[pastel pebble]

Usually depends on the fight for me but the gauntlets are usually my go to. They feel satisfying

[unkempt dragon]

I need to play more 🙂

[golden quarry]

flail

[earnest mulch]

Good answers good answers

I usually go with the flail cause I’m addicted to armor chips

[compact adder]

Flail because it breaks armor and leeches armor from enemies, and it’s so gnarly.

The Power Gauntlet lets me throw hands and shock enemies, and every punch feels CRUNCHY. So good.

Dreadmace is insanely powerful and the AOE with surrounding enemies is handy, and max stacking ammo is helpful!

Great weapons, but the flail is my go-to for its utility.

[earnest mulch]

Heck yeah!

[agile sonnet]

Gauntlet, dread mace

[earnest mulch]

The heaviest impact with those

[pastel pebble]

Someone needs to figure out how to mod the game and make the dread mace a baseball bat 🙏

And make the gauntlets boxing gloves

The flail could be a yoyo maybe 🤔

The DOOM: The Dark Ages DLC has a Possible but not confirmed chance of being there

[golden quarry]

Yes that

[elder raven]

already did this one jay. its time to lock in

[obsidian shard]

ok ok, do a no parry, CS & Flail only (Upgradeless) Run then buddy

[merry sapphire]

lots of armor shards. its pretty useful for me in ultra nightmare up until you get the mace ofc

[elder raven]

k

[fading bone]

you do a full flail combo and you get like 30 armor 🥀 or you can do 80% of an aggadons health with a full gauntlet combo 💪

[scenic lichen]

Well i do use a mod that buffs it and i feel justified in using it because a flail buff was confirmed

[merry sapphire]

yeah thats just playing it safe, which is useful in UN

[fading bone]

i would argue its much safer to kill demons 2x faster than to periodically get negligible amounts of armor

[fleet spruce]

in mace i trust

Sorry I'm playing right now

Ancestral Forge - great level

[brave locust]

just started playing tda after I beat doom eternal i actually enjoy it a lot

i’m on the 3rd chapter and i’ve gotten used to how the combat feels

[earnest mulch]

Sick!

The combat has a lot of weight to it compared to Eternal

[compact adder]

I’ve said before that my dang controller’s trigger is busted, so my new controller is on the way.

And the combat feel of the past three DOOM games are so epically distinct:
2016 - super soldier with an arsenal to kill a small army
Eternal - a demigod with enough destructive power to solo squad wipe an entire universe
Dark Ages - a superpowered Spartan-like warrior with torture weapons to specifically dethrone a royal member of the dark abyss and their forces

[earnest mulch]

Good description. I think Hugo said 2016 - race car, Eternal - fighter jet, TDA - tank

[elder raven]

Bought doom the dark ages on PS5 pro

[grim cloud]

demon infighting, Battle Knight versus Dread Knight.

[fading osprey]

dread knight solos

He’s the goat

[grim cloud]

Also probably more evolved and gets to use cultist tech

but with that armor and axe, if the battle knight gets a a melee fight, i put money on his axe

[elder raven]

id's gotta fix that ripatorium bug where the demons just vanish

[versed quarry]

Bro they’re supposed to do that. You’re killing them, remember?/J

[elder raven]

I want to kill them i dont want the father coming in and just banishing them for me

[versed quarry]

Oh

[obsidian shard]

Ripatorium 3.0 will be my goat

[elder raven]

you have no goat.

[versed quarry]

You know his goat

Finishing Move

[obsidian shard]

He gets it

[obsidian shard]

DOOM: The Dark Ages DLC

[graceful rivet]

[alpine pilot]

[elder raven]

[alpine notch]

I don't know why it took me forever but I finally beat TDA earlier

(Final Battle Spoilers)

Lemme tell you, ||once that asshole Azhrak killed my pet dragon, I wanted this guy millions of feet deep underground||

[split gate]

These guys look like they’re making the DLC ost for a game

[final dune]

anyone know why my game is stuttering a bunch? i remember it happened a month or so ago and i havent played it in a bit but its happening again for some reason. it ran fine before also

it does it even on low settings

i know its a bit late at least in north america so can someone help me with this when they have the time?

nvmd i fixed it lol

taa was on instead of fsr

actually uhh i dunno

[quiet agate]

doom dark ages dlc when

[fading bone]

later

[jovial pivot]

Cya

[final dune]

hmm. updated drivers and it seems fixed now. weird

[final dune]

eventually

[worldly musk]

I'm betting we'll hear something new about the DLC in June

[brave locust]

the dragon controls are so whack ngl

like the only thing i don't like about this game so far

at all

[brave locust]

i like the game a lot but sometimes the segments when ur on the dragon or in the ttian kinda feel like i'm playing one of those arcade games that feel like they were cheaply made

with all the slow downs and stuff 😭

especially during combat encounters

and unlike eternal you don't really feel the incintive to use other weapons maybe it might be different in future encounters but i only change guns when i run out of ammo

[hearty edge]

Oh yea i feel that

[hearty edge]

I think thats the intended game design

To be fair in 2016 you also only needed 2 weapons for 80% of the game

Which is because they werent available during the other 20%

[brave locust]

yeah

the game isn't bad but it isn't amazing

i'm still playing through it though

[hearty edge]

What level r u on

[brave locust]

I just got to the start of chapter 6

[hearty edge]

Oh you'll love that one

Also for the vagaries (the big ahh spiders) i find myself using a specific weapon because it gets rid of their armor super fast

[brave locust]

one thing i can say is though is i REALLY do not like the senitnel shrines

[hearty edge]

Fair

Thats also one of my big complaints

[brave locust]

because gold is hard to come across you're kinda forced to find secrets

or spend extra time in a level looking for stuff

[hearty edge]

If thr level isnt open and you missed one before getting the upgrsde you wanted you need to wait for the next one

[brave locust]

and the ruby stuff isn't any better

[hearty edge]

Nah i dont think its hard to find, the HUD is always useful

[brave locust]

yeah "hard" is a bit harsh i would just say tedious

i liked how eternal and doom 2016 did it

[hearty edge]

Actually 2 weapons due to their attacks being mostly projectiles

And for the bosses the impaler is the most useful

[brave locust]

if i didn't play eternal or doom 2016 before i played this game I wouldn't be looking for secrets tbh

I would probably just walk right past them

so that isn't really the best design for the game

that's the only reason i've been able to afford good upgrades

but imo the game just feels like a mouse clicker simulator 80% of the time

but i'll finish it and then see

the parrying just feels annoying and i don't like how it's such a core mechanic

it's just parry and shoot 😔

[hearty edge]

By the halfway point it wont feel like that anymore i think

[hearty edge]

Melee 😔

[brave locust]

doesn't really mix it up that much tbh

and the slow down too 😭

[hearty edge]

Oh turn that off immediately

It makes it sooo much better and smoother and better

[brave locust]

are you serious

I can get rid of that fuckass slow down

[uneven dragon]

yup

[brave locust]

yay

where do i turn it off at

oh

okay thats a lot better

one thing i will say though is that during cutscenes not all of the assets load in and it's so funny to watch them load in as it's on a certain scene 😭

[hearty edge]

True i never really noticed that till now

[unborn tiger]

whens the dlc gonna drop?

[hazy pasture]

2000 years later

[golden quarry]

g

[mental grotto]

Tomorrow

[vague sinew]

Lesgo

This question might be a bit technical, if anyone has rebar on their gpus, how much did it boost performance in dark ages?

[golden quarry]

500 centuries later

[unborn tiger]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[obsidian shard]

It's not actually dropping tomorrow

There's no release date aside from 2026

[unborn tiger]

why are you lying

why do you lie to me jay

[final dune]

i mean like
dlc 4 for atomic heart took 15 months to release and dlc 3 took 11

stuff takes a while

[hazy pasture]

Greetings folks

[golden quarry]

Hi

[solar spoke]

what?

Probably flying over my head tbh but what is Rebar?

[vague sinew]

Pasting google’s definition so it’s as precise as possible: Resizable BAR or Base Address Register) is a technology that allows your computer's CPU to directly access the entire memory (VRAM) of your graphics card (GPU) at once.

[mental grotto]

Yeah it is Hugo Martin told me

[solar spoke]

I don't think it's on AMD cards unfortunately

[vague sinew]

it's sam in amd cards

[solar spoke]

so I can't really say anything about it

[vague sinew]

i think

[solar spoke]

really? I'll have a look then

[vague sinew]

thanks!

[solar spoke]

[cyan quarry]

Is it possible to get the gold slayer skin on? Ultra nightmare difficulty and modified?

[vague sinew]

I think so

but i'm not 100% sure

[cyan quarry]

Can you look it up because i'm already on mission 15

[vague sinew]

as long as you are on UN you're able to unlock the gold skin

so yes

[cyan quarry]

Yay

Also, are there like any dragon skins or machine skins

[vague sinew]

gold as well or in general

[cyan quarry]

General or gold?

[vague sinew]

there are skins for both the dragon and the atlan, the gold ones you unlock at the end of your UN run, other skins you can unlock if there are certain events happening at the time

[cyan quarry]

So if you beat ultra nightmare, you unlock them

[vague sinew]

yeah

[obsidian shard]

Yes

Comes with Skins for the Atlan and Serrat!

[cyan quarry]

Sick

[obsidian shard]

Same with the Divinty skin pack

[cyan quarry]

I'm playing where are I one shot everything on ultra nightmare lol

Am I the only one that did that

[vague sinew]

Never attempted a UN run, i don't like permadeath game modes, still glad it's there for those who are brave

[cyan quarry]

Me neither, but I just bade it to where the demons are one shot

[lucid gazelle]

When is doom the dark ages coming out for the Nintendo switch

seriously when

[obsidian shard]

NEVER

Switch 2 is a possibilty

[lucid gazelle]

Maybe but I don't have the money for switch 2

[merry sapphire]

its a miracle that eternal even came on the switch dawg this is NEVER happening

programming marvel that they made eternal even run at 30 fps on the switch

[lucid gazelle]

You never know

[gusty rock]

Did doomslayer die from the removal of the makyr tether or did he die once he landed in the acid?

[slim oriole]

The explosion.

It's funny that we all agree to call that green stuff "acid" when we don't even know what it is.

[obsidian shard]

Stomache acid

since dude got digested

[gusty rock]

Oh I didn't even know that, so he was fully intent on killing himself then.

[slim oriole]

He wasn't in any stomach there

[obsidian shard]

Oh the cutscene

ummm

[potent parcel]

I'd imagine it took both
'cause it's doom guy, would any one thing even be powerful enough to kill him? 🙂

I don't think he's a guy who goes down without Rasputinian levels of overkill 😄

[versed quarry]

The acid. I don’t know how he survived the tether, but he did.

[gusty rock]

He seemed kind of lifeless as he was falling.

[versed quarry]

Well if he died to the tether, I think the cutscene would’ve ended there.

[gusty rock]

"I think"

[versed quarry]

Well do you have concrete evidence that the tether alone killed him?

[grim cloud]

9 days … showcase getting closer!

[last geyser]

Can we even expect a trailer on the 7th with how much playtesting theyre still doing

[slim oriole]

Why

[uneven dragon]

im praying for fnaf at SoP and doom at the xbox showcase but i bet i'll get neither 💔

[obsidian shard]

We def can.... BUT nothing is confirmed

Also with Finishing Move saying we'll be seeing something soon too def adds to the speculation.

[slim oriole]

Yes, that thing definitely killed the Slayer, he died slowly as he fell

[slim oriole]

[obsidian shard]

Insta story from a few weeks ago

[gilded summit]

Are there anymore details about the DTDA dlc yet? I'm dying too know.

[slim oriole]

We all know... they won't announce anything...

[obsidian shard]

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

[gilded summit]

Thanks man! 👍

[harsh egret]

they are gonna be playtesting all the time, even after the announcement lol

no matter when it is

[serene cloud]

I think it's really sad that titans were a peaceful race that just got corrupted to fight by demons

Truly sad

[stone pasture]

Why hasn't there been a notice about no stream

[unkempt dragon]

There was.

#announcements message

[golden quarry]

so sad

[pastel pebble]

Me when no ugo mortin stream

[delicate grotto]

I’m excited to hear the new tracks for this DLC

[split gate]

Soon means tomorrow rahh

[fleet spruce]

yo new music teasers soon?

been feeding myself with Trepang music for a while now

[graceful rivet]

peak choice

[fleet spruce]

it's so powerful, i love it

Horizon Hail Mary occupies the same space as Rip & Tear, Blood Swamps , Trial of Maligog and Into the Void in my brain

[alpine pilot]

🗺️ ❓

[worldly musk]

FINALLY POLECH WHERE'VE YOU BEEN

[worldly musk]

Finishing Move saying new stuff on the way just made my guitar case move a little bit

[spiral crow]

Seriously?

[turbid breach]

Omg

Im excited

[worldly musk]

If what Jay said here is anything to go by (and it usually is)

[spiral crow]

Well damn, that's interesting....wonder what stuff have they been working on

[fading bone]

(the tda dlc)

[last geyser]

I wonder when they started working on the dlc music

[spiral crow]

XD

Bro i just mean like what kinda style of music they are gunna do, is it gunna be what we're used to from the base game or have a more of a unique take like we did with tag 1 and 2

[fading bone]

no one knows

[vast silo]

Sorry, I was away for a little while—has the DLC come out yet?

[full cave]

this game is great enhanced azhrak is still one of my favorite boss fights in the franchise

[vast silo]

I understand everything. 😔

[dapper valley]

Sir is this sentence AI generated

[turbid breach]

What?

[vast silo]

No, it’s not me. I communicate very poorly in English—I’m from Russia—so to reply to you, I use Google Translate; and to read your messages, I take screenshots of the screen and view them there.

[dapper valley]

Oh alright bro

[fleet spruce]

We're getting very damn close for sure now

[vast silo]

No, I totally get it—if I saw a guy writing as strangely as I do, I’d probably think it was some kind of neural network or something like that, too.

[dapper valley]

Lol

[grim cloud]

8 days now, omg
