doom-eternal

[sudden edge]

it was more of a fact that "This is the culmination of everything" that overhyped me, as a standalone DLC its great but as a climax thats why I was like "Couldve been harder and larger"

[fossil terrace]

It's definitely my second favorite game of all time. If it came out like a decade ago and had the impact HL2 had on me and me growing up, it would be my fav.

[sudden edge]

Eternal easily my favorite FPS of all time

[waxen field]

I meant the update that came with it made a lot of stupid changes

[azure oriole]

i mean like. when the whole controversy boils down to "dlc 2 is not as good as dlc 1" i think thats a sign that we have it so good. trust me...things could've been handle so...so much worse

[sudden edge]

the only certifiably meh thing about eternal for me is battlemode. Is it fun, yea but co-op wouldve been cooler

[fossil terrace]

for gameplay, definitely eternal, for personal impact, HL2, for story, definitely fallout new vegas

[sudden edge]

I'm an ARK fan and comparing the DLC schedule to ARKs shows that lol

[waxen field]

That and they nerfed the 1st dlc

[azure oriole]

stupid changes sure. but the temporary changes didnt ruin my experience with tag 1

[sudden edge]

The DLCs got barely pushed back for Eternal but delivering this quality isnt so common

[azure oriole]

still could've been worse

[sudden edge]

I am one of the few people who thinks the TAG1 nerfs are fine, they really arent that bad if you play through the DLC again

i beat UN pre and post nerf, and I couldnt notice many changes

[waxen field]

The only temporary change was to Atlantica (somewhat)

[sudden edge]

The Holt shouldve remained unnerfed but the jump from Final Sin to Atlantica is massive, it shouldve been only about 1.2x harder than final sin not almost 1.7x

[azure oriole]

yeah the doom community is so nit picky on things. like yeah its sad how the possessed baron was replaced with a hell knight. but it doesnt take away from the fact of how good tag 1 was and still is to this day

[waxen field]

Nah it’s fine as it was, it isn’t that hard imo

[fossil terrace]

i remember being pretty good at nightmare on console, hopping in uv on tag 1 made me switch to pc

[sudden edge]

well if you chose the right hallway first your first spirit EVER is a baron, that really messes up your learning curve haha

[fossil terrace]

glad i did but, man it was too much lmao

[azure oriole]

im pretty sure they ended up restoring most of tag 1 to how it was at launch. so i think we are good.

[azure oriole]

true true.

[sleek panther]

holy jesus christ i just ran into my first buff totem

[fossil terrace]

i did this, i still hate the spirit to this day although not as much as at first introduction.

[waxen field]

No just Atlantica (mostly) the other changes remain still

[azure oriole]

still as good as it was day one for me

[sudden edge]

same, blood swamps is still the greatest level in eternal for me

[fossil terrace]

people don't really talk about how there was a nerf to the spirits tho

[waxen field]

Like the change to the archnotron was so dumb and pointless

[azure oriole]

I love blood swamps the music and atmosphere was really nice

[azure oriole]

honestly eternals expansions were high quality for what they were able to work with. they launched fully complete at launch with little to no issues

[fossil terrace]

it used to feel stronger i swear but, it definitely used to full health enemies when possessing. only weakpoints weren't repaired

[sudden edge]

its borderline perfect imo. The music is amazing for sure, atmosphere too. Great cutscenes that merge the story well and the BEST part is the amazing arenas gameplay and parkour sections just balancing a great level

[waxen field]

I also miss the old slayer gate and double baron cueball fight

[azure oriole]

i mean like. do you prefer the 2020 version of tag 1?

i assume so

[waxen field]

Outside of the bugs and crashes yea

[azure oriole]

ok ok i see

[waxen field]

Also specifically after they buffed the slayer gate

[sudden edge]

ive technically played all 4 versions of the holt slayer gate
release day (Makyr drones didnt drop health on hs)
easiest version (Makyr drones now dropped health so it was easy)
oh god version (Possessed marauder, another marauder, etc)
today version

[fossil terrace]

why did they ever nerf maykr drones tho lmao

[azure oriole]

honestly has there ever been stuff similar to this were developers change alot stuff in there single player games through content updates? or were id software the first to do this "games as a service" type stuff with eternal

[azure oriole]

Yeah. My weak spot is the platforming but I still somehow really liked it enough to replay it. I also like that they put marauder kinda at beginning of lvl, I don’t feel like lots of the lvl do that.

[waxen field]

The maykr thing was probably a bug like not being able to lock-on to tag 1 archies for a while unless frozen

[sudden edge]

nah it was a bug I heard

[azure oriole]

ive never seen a singleplayer game go through so much phases during its post launch support. not sure how to feel abt that\

[sudden edge]

but against possessed marauder it was a lot easier once you had free 200hp healthkits

[fossil terrace]

was it?

[sudden edge]

I remember seeing a patchnote or smth about it, lemme try to find

[waxen field]

Sifu has alot of shit changes in updates recently they made skills permanent which was stupid

[sudden edge]

hope I can convince my friends to reinstall, just saw the co-op mod and it looks amazing

[azure oriole]

was doom 2016 similar to this? i heard the multiplayer for it at launch lacked a tone of content.

[waxen field]

Never played the multiplayer in that game

[azure oriole]

honestly i miss the days when devs would just release a game and thats it.

no content updates or whatnot

[sudden edge]

best of both worlds is content updates + a finished game on launch

[azure oriole]

those days are soooo long gone lol

[sudden edge]

but now half finished games with constant patches are just sad honsetly

[waxen field]

Games back then would release much more polished than Eternal currently is.

[azure oriole]

doom eternal was a finished game at launch for me. but there was just so many questionable changes that i dont understand why

[waxen field]

Expansions>dlc

[azure oriole]

true. kinda makes me miss early 2000s gaming

[waxen field]

The game has always been buggy

[azure oriole]

at least its playable so thats good enough

[waxen field]

Also TAG 1, the newer mls, and horde are solid

[azure oriole]

Tbh it’s still a lot better than most games I know. There’s games that are buggy to the point of unplayable and games that have fps drops etc. bs going in constantly. It could be much worse

[waxen field]

That’s a low bar though

[azure oriole]

i think doom eternal hit its peak with update 6.66

[waxen field]

By that logic you can say the newest update which is just a more polished 6.66 update

Tag 2 itself wasn’t bad just too easy and released with a terrible update

[azure oriole]

Tbh I would say it’s doing fairly well. Like sure it is and I agree that nowdays releases that are unfinished and buggy are bad but it could be worse. And from what I have gathered it has also gone a long way from since 2020, gameplay looks kinda diff.

[fossil terrace]

the big three did it, CoD, Battlefield, AND Halo

[waxen field]

Cause people got better

[azure oriole]

yeah but we got fixes to tag 1 with them reverting (most, not all) of the changes to satisfy the hardcore players. got certain sections from tag 2 buffed so theres more of a challenge. got two new Ml's (one of them being the best which is world spear imo) and to top things off we got an entirely new game mode horde.

[azure oriole]

Partly because of that but also the updates on game.

[waxen field]

Just Atlantica nothing else

[azure oriole]

Idk how they managed to f up the event though, kinda disappointed about that ngl, but it seem like the devs care about the game and don’t completely left to fend off by itself like some other games (and their devs). Wow clear typing is hard at 8 am

[azure oriole]

still update 6.66 was and still is a goated update for eternal. definitely was better than doom 2016's own update 6.66 update

[waxen field]

That’s cause 2016’s was just multiplayer

I’ll never get why it got priority in updates

[azure oriole]

yeah kinda wish doom 2016 got singleplayer dlc. but by the time 2017 came around. they was most definitely hard at work on eternal during that time. so multiplayer updates made sense to consider as their final update

[waxen field]

At least there was arcade

[azure oriole]

fr arcade is better than horde. even tho they are two different experiences.

although arcade mode was definitely planned from the start. horde mode was most certainly a last minute decision made by id

[waxen field]

Eh I hate score chasing so I prefer horde

[azure oriole]

to each their own

[waxen field]

Though I say that after so many resets in bayo 1 for plats and pure plats

[azure oriole]

honestly both games have their strengths and weaknesses when compering the two in terms of what content they offer. doom 2016 has better social features like a fully fledge multiplayer with a variety of different game modes, while also having a map editor as well. but lacks a bit of singleplayer content outside of arcade mode. while doom eternal has far better singleplayer content all around. like master levels, singleplayer dlc, and horde. while also having a multiplayer mode that revolves around one single game type.

[waxen field]

I hated Snapmaps balancing

Like pinkies didn’t even have their armor making them useless

[azure oriole]

yeah something abt the way snapmap felt was off compared to the main campaign. like as if they was using a different engine.

[waxen field]

Many of the issues stem from it being based off the multiplayer

[azure oriole]

yeah. wasnt the multiplayer made by a different team?

[waxen field]

Yea I think they did the crappy Halo 4 multiplayer

[azure oriole]

i think they was called certain infinity or somthing along those lines

[waxen field]

Yea I believe so

[azure oriole]

kinda wish they came back to help with eternals multiplayer. i liked doom 2016's multiplayer tbh.

[waxen field]

That’s an issue you have with the mode not the devs

[steel canopy]

Ye basically also sorry I responded late 💀

I couldn't get retrowave or Drip Vile for some reason but I didn't contacted bethesda I just tried too finish the event too see what will happen and thankfully I got what I wanted

I also couldn't get other gun skins but for some reason it just random fixed for me

I thank the doom gods

[azure oriole]

oh shit doom guyt dropped in fotrtnite

sorry im a bit hazy

[winter fox]

the marauder has such a great design and voice but goddamn is it annoying to fight

[simple umbra]

actually really easy

[winter fox]

that’d be pretty sick ngl

[slow sigil]

Something can be annoying and easy you know

[obsidian oak]

true tfw 2-3 marauders spawn at same time

[simple umbra]

they should add a mode that replaces every demon with marauder

[slow sigil]

Sounds boring and tedious

[azure oriole]

fr now the fortnite sweats can take him down.

https://tenor.com/view/dog-pig-doge-piggy-cute-dog-gif-21212951

heres cute pick of my pets

[wild latch]

Idk how Im gonna defeat this icon of sin

I got countless on mancubus and some cyber mancubus

[wild latch]

nvm

[winter fox]

nice

[azure oriole]

i want doom eternal

i only have 15$

[simple umbra]

wait for a sale

[sturdy brook]

i really hate the red light green light type enemies, they feel so awkward to fight

[azure oriole]

is will proply be 203

[slow sigil]

You shoot it's healthy parts

[azure oriole]

20$

guys who can gift me doom eternal

[slow sigil]

Blood makyrs are probs the least awkward of all if used properly

[azure oriole]

jk lol

[wild latch]

Yeah but theres a problem, these mancubus and cyber mancubus are kicking my ass

[slow sigil]

Then either run away from them, or kill them too

[sturdy brook]

i dont have the dlc, so i only found out how to kill them properly until halfway through horde mode lmao

[wild latch]

guess wat

[azure oriole]

wat

[wild latch]

I beated the Icon of sin on Hurt me a plenty, which meants I had no hope playing on UV since Im so struggling at fighting Icon of the sin

[azure oriole]

nice

but idh doom eternal :/

[wild latch]

oh okay

[simple umbra]

cool

[rapid horizon]

Guys I just completed TAG2

[simple umbra]

ok

[wary badger]

pretty fun to fight if you ask me

i also used shield bash to send a marauder to the shadow realm

[winter fox]

i feel like it’s a pretty fun fight on its own but when it’s paired with other demons it’s just a hassle

like you have to focus all of your attention on the marauder

also the secret combat encounter that had a marauder was super annoying

[waxen field]

What about the east?

[sturdy brook]

pair that with the fact that enemy projectiles causes the marauder to spam spawn his dog

[waxen field]

And if you kill the dog too fast he’ll immediately resummon It.

[strange gale]

that's also because of the friendly fire bug

the dog exploding counts as "friendly fire" even though you're the one who kills it

[waxen field]

Clearly this is good design unlike the archnotron turret and every tag 1 enemy.

Changing this, now that would be a bad idea unlike the other changes

[azure oriole]

So they don’t disappear from your inventory when you close it and actually stay there? This bug makes no sense…

Wait it actually seems fixed.. maybe 🤔 . The skin stayed on at least for one log out.

[loud maple]

it takes me an hours to kill them

[wild latch]

the worst part is when u try to shoot them on their green status sometimes it misses

[loud maple]

thats the reason why

[wild latch]

and yeah it happened on horde mode

[loud maple]

mhm

[wild latch]

idk how but the first I killed Marauder It was like a joke to me but after I met another Marauder, shit It went from a joke into a damn butcher

[loud maple]

it was making you feel good to slaugther you later

[warm juniper]

how do i get xp fast

other then doing monthly challenges

[fair mango]

campaign levels?

[azure oriole]

Replaying campaign lvls, if you really want to cheese it you could play tag 2 sentinel prime unless that’s been patched. Idk since I have not finished tag 2 so I just play campaign lvls and horde also for xp.

[warm juniper]

also do cheats reduce xp?

and do difficulties increase xp

[azure oriole]

Yes to both.

[warm juniper]

alr ty

[low zephyr]

So when you die in Ultra nightmare. You have to restart the whole campaign? Or just that level?

[gray rivet]

Whole campaign

[native marlin]

why can't I access the Ripatorium after I beat the game?

[shadow vessel]

idk u just cant

[gray rivet]

Unfortch

Ahh yes le radio daemon

[low zephyr]

Y’all are badasses then if you’ve done it

[mental grail]

Anyone else on Xbox having issues with the weapon kill monthly challenges?

[cyan frigate]

how are my fellow dooming doom gamers doing 😎 hows doom treating us

[azure oriole]

I didn't played doom in 1month already

3 months let's keep it going !! 🤑

[gray rivet]

Played tag 2 last night

[azure oriole]

Why???

[magic marsh]

Keep playing hell on earth on ultra nightmare

[azure oriole]

use noclip, skip whole sentinel prime.

nah but fr sentinel prime is the fastest.

even on nightmare, It will still give you 10k exp If I'm not wrong.

[keen jungle]

[burnt moss]

Why would that work?

[magic marsh]

I played it and got like 100k event xp

[azure forum]

Not a single reward is worth grinding on a boss fight in a 3 month event

[upper field]

just got ivory and ebony skins

[umbral smelt]

Favourite battlemode demon?

[flint flame]

It resets after you complete a mission, but seeing as you finished the game, the game lets you go through it only once after final sin. The only way to stop getting locked out of it is to lord checkpoint before finishing the fight

[flint flame]

Marauder’s fun

Marauder in campaign:
Marauder in BM:

[burnt moss]

I often get almost that much on regular NM levels

[burnt moss]

Agreed. Just play the campaign again. If it’s too easy, just do it fast.

anyone knows if i can run doom eternal on my ryzen 5 3400G with 8GB ram (ik its dumbs but i want to know)

[opal galleon]

True

[random vault]

hiii

[azure oriole]

gpu?

[ancient night]

I assume that's included in what he said

so an 11 cu vega igpu

and to that I'm not really sure... I saw some video of a guy getting it running on an athlon 3000g with some ridiculous settings

[azure oriole]

rip and tear

i am eternal

no.

rip and tear

[azure oriole]

♻️

[opal hemlock]

n o n e

[azure oriole]

none?

[opal hemlock]

indeed

i only got my integrated gpu (radeon vega 11)

[winter fox]

i really need to play more battlemode

i played like one game and got my ass wiped and haven’t played since

[opal hemlock]

but do i still got any chance?

i mean, when i launch the game, it crashes around the ID software logo and a windows sound is displayed

[ancient night]

is there a canon explanation for the moon being cracked apart at the start? If not I'm calling it, someone fatfingered the bfg10k

or perhaps it was deliberate, the moon was secretly a demon the whole time

[marble orchid]

[shadow vessel]

I believe thats phobos or deimos, not the moon

[ancient night]

it certainly grew a lot in its magical transition from mars' orbit to earths

[sacred dirge]

Bm is dead

Took me 20 minutes to find a match today

[umbral smelt]

No man actually plays bm ngl

Its active on xbox but its only full gold doomslayers who sweat the game 24/7

[azure oriole]

Maybe, there's an UAC or human base in Moon too and Demons from Earth somehow goes to moon and invade it and something exploded or I don't know

[sacred dirge]

That's me lol

[umbral smelt]

I envy you

Jkjk.. well maybe

[azure forum]

A lot of people play BM. I do agree that you either find new players or good players. Also, gold slayers mean nothing in BM.

[umbral smelt]

Its kind of a symbol though that tells you "you're gonna get destroyed"

[gray rivet]

Doom

[magic marsh]

guy

[slow sigil]

more a symbol that means "i cheesed UN and dont have a fashion sense"

[magic marsh]

Oh fuck is that Rodark

I’ve seen Rodark in battlemode matches, their skills are scarily good

[gray rivet]

Sick

[magic marsh]

Like he’s one of those lads that tricks others by using the default podium

Like you’ll think, “Oh I think I’ll win, this guy seems like a noob” then he kicks your ass sideways

[cloud anvil]

I feel like they removed nametag borders showing up in waiting rooms to prevent low level players from getting scared off and disconnecting before the match even begins lmao

[gray rivet]

Lmao

[versed lily]

anyone wanna come help with some battlemode achievments? 🙂

[stiff tendon]

Hey im.new to the game

💀I'm stuck at the part where u suppose to get a super shotgun si there any way I can skip the fighting

[cloud anvil]

no, you have to do the Revenant segment

[stiff tendon]

Bruhhhh

[magic marsh]

Kill a Revenant with the super shotgun

Call it Betrayal

[versed lily]

just fly around more

[stiff tendon]

What do u mean

[cloud anvil]

fly around with the Revenant jetpack

[magic marsh]

Wait

What about an achievement where you kill a player demon with the regular shotgun

No mods

[crisp wasp]

Guys what to do at the beggining when you got a mission on mars? I'm stuck at that control panel and idk how to go forward

[magic marsh]

What are you talking about

[azure oriole]

Be more specific, like where?

[crisp wasp]

After you pass the cutscene with the arc and your objective is to shot a hole in mars with bfg 10000

[azure oriole]

After the elevator?

[crisp wasp]

Yes

[azure oriole]

Just jump into the vents

[crisp wasp]

I'll check

[azure oriole]

Look somewhere if there's an opening

[crisp wasp]

I'm freakin blind, thanks for help 😁

[azure oriole]

Yeah, no problem

[azure forum]

Lol have I played you?

[magic marsh]

You play on Switch?

[azure forum]

Yep I do

[magic marsh]

Ah so do I

[azure forum]

Nice!

[magic marsh]

Yea you ever see a player with the name “Andrew”?

[random vault]

hi

[azure forum]

Ohhh yeah! You're andrew? Nice man!

[magic marsh]

Yep

Nice to see you on discord

[azure forum]

Yes man. Nice you see you around. It is always nice to play with you and against you

[magic marsh]

Yea fr

[random vault]

how cool

[magic marsh]

Love how try to disguise yourself as a noob so you can kick people’s asses by surprise

[azure oriole]

that is an easy way to get kicked in some games

[magic marsh]

Even with customization items?

[azure forum]

Yep I always use default skins pretty much

[azure oriole]

Sometimes.

[random vault]

el oh el

[magic marsh]

Yea it’s a good tactic for the unsuspecting players

[azure oriole]

I use default skins in everywhere, cuz cosmetics are useless.

[random vault]

i use cosmetics cuz i love usless bullshit ♥️

[azure forum]

People avoid playing otherwise plus I don't have many skins on switch anyways

[magic marsh]

Tbh who doesn’t

[random vault]

raiden just said they don’t

[magic marsh]

Idk about y’all but I’ve always been adjusted to using master collection skins because I like using the animations for the collection rather than the default animations

[random vault]

i like the phobos skin

[magic marsh]

I like the hellforged skin

It was so good they made weapon skins for each weapon called hellforged

I have all of them except for the super shotgun one

[azure forum]

Yep I use all hellforged skins for weapons. I dont have tag1 and tag2 to get the slayer skin but it is a nice looking one

[magic marsh]

Yea, and the gold weapons

I have all of them except for the gold shotgun, because I gotta beat the super gore nest master level on nightmare without dying once

[azure forum]

I personally don't like the gold skins at all. They look too plain even the battlemode gold podium I don't use it because of that

[magic marsh]

What is your favorite master collection skin

Mine’s probably like the goofy ones like the Santa slayer or the hotdogs us

[azure forum]

Lol Yep the santa one is nice

[magic marsh]

That was the first event master collection skin I ever got

The agent vile one looks cool too, too bad the arch files series doesn’t work

[azure forum]

I like the UAC one too. It was pretty old if I am correct

[magic marsh]

The UAC tech revenant?

That one’s pretty good, I like how the base and intro animations are like some terminator shit like “scanning for targets and target acquired” but it’s victory animation is the revenant doing a little dance, which I always loved

[azure forum]

Yep the UAC rev looks really nice

The UAC podium is my favorite one. That's what I usually use. Best podium in the game

You should use it too if you don't already

[magic marsh]

I used to use it when some of my demon skins had no master collection or podium

[azure forum]

I'm lazy to get it on switch, but I'd use if I had it

[magic marsh]

I got it before

I’m pretty sure you get it by beating the campaign with only one praetor suit perk

[flint flame]

Welcome to battlemode

[azure oriole]

Story of my life

[flint flame]

No they removed it so that ppl wouldn’t dodge to avoid losing their border

[magic marsh]

“Where if you see a guy that looks like a noob, chances are they are faking it and they will kick your ass”

[flint flame]

Approach most games as if they’re high level and adjust according to how they play

[azure forum]

I've played a lot of players with gold armors and UN stuff that are really bad. You can find both sides easily

But if a player is using default skins it means most of the time that he/she is a new player

[azure oriole]

I click so much alt tab, that my alt tab doesn't even sometimes press. 😱

[waxen field]

Isn’t that just smurfing

[magic marsh]

I remember me and a friend once fought against a guy with the aurum skin (which you get by beating the ancient gods 1 on ultra nightmare) and he wasn’t that great

[versed lily]

welp couldnt they just be good at any% runs & barely do any of the combat?

[azure forum]

Battlemode is a different animal when it comes to slayer. Learning to play without air control, shield and other equipment can be tough at first. A lot of UN players that are new to battlemode think that they can go full oonga boonga against a good demon team just to realize they get punished hard.

[flint flame]

Campaign skill =\= battlemode skill basically

[azure oriole]

Imma head out to sleep, gn guys.

[magic marsh]

Yea who cares if you have the gold slayer, aurum slayer or skull face slayer

Well I care

[winter fox]

gn

[magic marsh]

But that those skins don’t determine your battlemode skills

[flint flame]

I’ve played since launch, and I’ve dominated ppl who had gold slayer/aurum/commander Valen pfp

Well…I have quit but

[versed lily]

[magic marsh]

Wait what console you play doom eternal on?

[flint flame]

Pc

[magic marsh]

Ahh

[flint flame]

I was there during the denuvo crisis

[waxen field]

Btw if anyone is experiencing the event bug try both equipping one of the bugged items then going online and/or reconcile thing (it’s under the bethesda.net tab in settings)

That seems to have fixed it for me (though I didn’t do a ton of testing).

[flint flame]

And the pb swap nerf

[waxen field]

Was that undone?

[magic marsh]

The bugged items disappeared from my collection all together

[flint flame]

I honestly think battlemode was most balanced during the pb nerf

[flint flame]

Yeah, the nerf made pb swaps slower but it was reverted due to mass backlash

[waxen field]

I know getting event xp brings them back temporarily

[magic marsh]

Like I got the arch files stuff the day the event started

[waxen field]

It worked for me

[magic marsh]

And they showed up in my inventory, but then they disappeared

[waxen field]

Get event xp it comes back till you power cycle and sign in online

[magic marsh]

Like until you reach the end of the rewards?

[waxen field]

No literally any amount like for example turning on cheats to speed through Sentinel Prime for xp

They’ll all come back at once

[magic marsh]

This has been a thing JUST now?

[magic marsh]

Tried this, didn’t work

[waxen field]

Odd it should work it worked when I got the bug

[magic marsh]

What system you play on?

[waxen field]

Did you already finish the event?

Ps4

[magic marsh]

The arch files event or the entire fall mega event?

[magic marsh]

I play on Switch

[waxen field]

Either

Specify though

[magic marsh]

Wdym

[waxen field]

As in if you got all the arch files items the whole event or neither

[magic marsh]

I got all the arch files stuff

But it all disappeared right after I got them

I also got all the ghosts gourds and galleons stuff

And some of the sixty forsaken stuff

[waxen field]

Try reconcile entitlements it should be in settings under bethesda.net

[magic marsh]

Aight I just pressed it

Nope it didn’t work

[waxen field]

Then idk what’s wrong for you in my experience getting event xp fixes the bug till you powercycle and sign in online.

You’ll have to contact support

[magic marsh]

Maybe it’s because

Different consoles?

[waxen field]

I doubt it but I can’t exactly test it, maybe though

[pale bronze]

Completed ancient gods 1 and 2. The dark lord boss fight took me longer than i wanted to beacuse the mf can regen when he hits me.

[floral cave]

How's everyone doing this evening or morning or afternoon?

[magic marsh]

Yea when I first fought him, it took me hours for me to beat

[opal galleon]

Pretty good I'm gonna eat a burrito rn

[magic marsh]

Ayo any of you managed to get the arch files rewards recently?

[pale bronze]

took me like one which was more than what i was expecting

[wild latch]

which?

[azure oriole]

Arch files. That's what he just said.

[cloud anvil]

the worst part about Screecher buff bullshittery is that regular zombies that got buffed look nearly identical to Screecher zombies
there's a difference but I don't think it's distinct enough

[azure oriole]

(This is a recurring theme in the tag 2 roster)

[pale bronze]

I'll let screechers pass since they only boost for a period of time so ya don't have to run around long. The spirts are the real asswipes. Those fuckers always going for the heavy demons. I hate them more than the dark lord.

[cloud anvil]

also if they wanted to incentivize use of relatively less popular weapon mods there are better ways to do it than the fucking Spirit

I thought the Stone Imps were neat tho, especially since you could cheese them with the Hammer anyways

[burnt moss]

About to take on Icon of Sin NM with Joysticks. I have already decided I might farm extra lives if needed.

[cloud anvil]

maybe they could've done something like a specific type of energy shield that's only vulnerable to Microwave Beam
maybe that should've gone to the Riot Soldiers

[fossil terrace]

it does, nobody uses it really

microwave pops their shield in like a flat second, the quickest way to pop it

[cloud anvil]

I meant Riot Soldiers
not the regular Shotgun Guy Soldiers

[fossil terrace]

oh the chaingunner wannabe

[cloud anvil]

Riot Soldiers are the gold Shield Soldiers based on the HWD

also the Riot Soldiers are meant to encourage use of Remote Detonation but they do a bad job of that lmao
since you can just fire regular rockets that impact behind them
or even use shotgun sticky bombs

I still think they should've had tentacle arms like the Commandos in 3

[waxen field]

Riot soldiers are such disappointing enemies

They have terrible accuracy and do no damage

They’re less accurate than the nerfed spider turret

[cloud anvil]

all the TAG2 enemies feel like Realm667 shit

[waxen field]

They take three years to even attack you

[cloud anvil]

hell, there's straight up a custom "Stone Imp" enemy from years ago that was used in stuff like KDIZD

[waxen field]

What’s that

[cloud anvil]

a big site for classic Doom modding resources
custom maps, custom weapons, custom enemies, custom items

[waxen field]

Also why’s that

[cloud anvil]

because they're all just reskins of base game enemies

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/457315709295394827/1018328524521750618/unknown.png
case in point on the Stone Imp

[waxen field]

Probably due to short dev time

They at least feel distinct which is important imo (riot soldiers suck though)

Also Immora soldiers really suck

The rest are good though

The new enemies weren’t well utilized in tag 2 though

[magic marsh]

You could throw a fucking grenade at them lol

[cloud anvil]

altho tbf before the main game released the Dread Knight itself gave me Realm667 vibes but at least it wasn't a cheap-ass reskin of the Hell Knight

[magic marsh]

Cyber Mancubus(?)

[cloud anvil]

that was from 2016

[magic marsh]

Yea I know

[cloud anvil]

and that was actually unique in its own ways too

[waxen field]

The armored baron changes more than the dread knight

[magic marsh]

Cursed Prowler

[cloud anvil]

also would it have been too much work for them to transplant more 2016 MP content into the Eternal DLCs

[cloud anvil]

the Cursed Prowler is the textbook definition of "cheap-ass reskin"

[magic marsh]

Yea if you look in the dictionary and find the word reskin, there is no definition, it’s just a picture of the cursed prowler

Sure it introduced being cursed, but come the fuck on man

It’s just a prowler but green

[cloud anvil]

also the Cursed mechanic in general is fucking stupid

[azure oriole]

At least the stone imp had a new move (but that doesn't save it from being a shitty reskin)

[magic marsh]

Oh no you can’t dash and you progressively lose health

[cloud anvil]

"let's take away the one ability the player needs the most to survive"

[azure forum]

If you position yourself right, you can Chainsaw them with 1 pipe. Also, you don't have to remote det. Just throw a rocket to the floor close to them or a sticky. Rocket will kill them, sticky puts them in GK state (hammer charges baby)

[waxen field]

The riot soldier really only shares the shield and a few animations

[cloud anvil]

literally what I said lmao

[magic marsh]

They could’ve at least made them all look different

[azure forum]

Oh I didn't read your other message

[magic marsh]

I mean have you seen the Screecher zombie concept art? Look at all the cool shit it could’ve been, but no let’s make it the hell zombie but purple

[cloud anvil]

also the Screecher feels vaguely redundant when the Spirit exists?

[azure forum]

Screecher and all tag2 enemies are only relevant in WS ML

[waxen field]

They’re different enough

[azure oriole]

It doesn't even have to be drastic, even just subtle changes to the models would suffice

[magic marsh]

At least that was somewhat original, even though it was just the summoner from doom 2016

[waxen field]

Horde

[azure forum]

Yeah I guess

[icy ice]

Is it possible to ever encounter a possessed archvile in tag2 or horde mode?

[magic marsh]

You could encounter a possessed marauder in horde mode

[azure forum]

I don't think so. I am not sure if the spirit in reclaimed earth can possess the archvile that spawns after. I doubt it can.

[waxen field]

Did you see some of those robotic prowler designs in the 2016 concept art? Imagine if that was an enemy subtype.

[strange gale]

movement check

[icy ice]

I never made this connection until just now. Mind blown 🤯

[winter fox]

the arch files cosmetics are appearing normally in my inventory now

[azure oriole]

Which lvl would you farm extra lives if you did?

[waxen field]

I kinda miss when cursed prowlers didn’t give the blood punch

[icy ice]

Rip and tear...until it is done

[icy ice]

Wait they used to not give them?!?

[waxen field]

Nope

There were some other changes to them I forgot what though

[burnt moss]

Sentinel Prime has 2

[azure oriole]

The curse damage rate used to be much faster

[burnt moss]

Phase 2 is hard

[gray rivet]

Bruh everyone has been saying tag 2 is easy. I'm playing thru on Nightmare, this is not easy for me.

Skill issue?

[wraith crag]

they say it's easy when compared to tag 1

it is not just easy

[patent stream]

Base game is a 5 difficulty wise
Tag 1 was a 11 difficulty wise
Tag 2 is a 8.5 difficulty wise

It’s certainly on the difficult side, but most people had 6 months of tag 1 practice

[azure oriole]

No it is that those people played through it before or memorize spawns etc. Your gameplay looks probably diff at 100h vs 700h and people who have 700h ofc will say anything in the game is eaz. Also depends how many times you’ve played through it before. And then ofc depends is it compared to tag1 or campaign etc. Then there’s also things like subjective factors like what other people find difficult might not be the same for you.

[wraith crag]

yea

[gray rivet]

Word those escalated encounters were very tough

Took like 4 tries for them

[icy ice]

Remember, you have the hammer to get you out of tight situations.

Once you get a feel for how to navigate nightmare difficulty, TAG2 is the easiest of the bunch imo.

[azure oriole]

I tried SGN Master level classic mode on Nightmare, a bad choice

[gray rivet]

Sounds torturous

[wraith crag]

sounds fun

[sturdy saffron]

Ok how do I get master levels

[wild latch]

wat is the most painful toy collection to get?

[strange gale]

funny thing is that those people at 700h or whatever arbitrary "high" number of hours, still play like total bozos, they just hide that fact behind a layer of "look guys i can press buttons to cancel animations at a rapid pace"

all they really have is some physical dexterity to flex, but having good execution is the bare fucking minimum for high level play, so the ability to quickswap isn't even impressive

[wraith crag]

the one in that one spot in taras nabad

[azure oriole]

Obviously, Pain Elemental

[sturdy saffron]

How get master levels

[icy ice]

I thought 700 hours was a lot until I realized I had 2400 hours in Halo MCC lol

[wild latch]

Yeah I guess ur right

[wild latch]

tyrant or cyber mancubus collection u meant?

[icy ice]

So you went up against a tyrant with only a combat shotgun? Nice

[wraith crag]

lmao i dont rember

it's the one at the bottom of that drop

[azure oriole]

Yes, Sticky Bomb to be more specific.

[icy ice]

Fuck that one in particular!

So many load checkpoints

[waxen field]

And the mls can be up to a 25

[azure oriole]

I find it meh right now since I can easily get it.

[icy ice]

Probably should have equipped the slow-down rune to get it

[azure oriole]

Great idea.

[wild latch]

well on ur first playthrough, its literally impossible to know where it is

[azure oriole]

Also I don't like fighting Barons with SB and Heavy Cannon at the start

[icy ice]

Beat the level at least once in the corresponding campaign to be able to access it

[icy ice]

Yea ice bomb is your best friend for maximum damage

[wild latch]

fr u can combo it with like almost everything

[azure oriole]

I really like to use Ice Bomb + Flame Belch and then blood punch the heck out of them.

[azure oriole]

Lol I don’t even think it’s that lot. I have 3.2kh in this one game. And some others like 1k-2kh. Lol it can easily accumulate when you like the game or just get addicted to grinding stuff. But obviously you improve usually the more time you have, and while you can brute force some of it easily if you look at your gameplay very early, but obviously you improve over time too just naturally. Those games that you have a lot of hours become second nature to you.

[waxen field]

Ice bomb + flame belch + frag grenade

[wild latch]

I would say my best friend is the burning meathook and my friend is the ice bomb

[azure oriole]

That could work but add Blood punch for better result.

[icy ice]

Absolutely. Above all else, hopefully most of those hours are fun 🙂

[icy ice]

When starting off in classic mode, you don't have the ssg.

[wild latch]

yeah i know, but after u get the ssg

[icy ice]

I'm probably gonna try Mars Core ML UN again

[waxen field]

I find frag better at least for fodder

[azure oriole]

True

[icy ice]

A few spots have given me quite the trouble in there

[azure oriole]

It depends what the definition of fun is. If grinding on mmo can get a bit tedious but still kinda enjoyable lol.

[icy ice]

That fog room with the cacos, tyrant, and barons always forced a saving throw 😭

[azure oriole]

I really hate the room with Tyrants, Doom Hunter, and Carcasses, especially on Classic mode.

[azure oriole]

I think you meant the last combat encounters that's on outside, correct?

I don't remember a fog room containing that

[icy ice]

For the mars core ML yea,

[azure oriole]

Oh

You're talking about Mars Core ML?

[icy ice]

Yup

[azure oriole]

My bad

[magic marsh]

I fucking hated the final part of the mars core master level

[icy ice]

I'm actually most excited for that part because it feels like a good chaotic ending to the level. The purple goo parts can go to hell though lol

[wild latch]

Best mode to practice icon of sin?

[waxen field]

Practice for what

[wild latch]

Practice for not losing focus, good dodging and some strategy of course

[waxen field]

Like for un or nm

[wild latch]

My best shot was on Hurt me a plenty, so I guess UV ?

[waxen field]

As in you can’t beat him on hmp?

[wild latch]

No I did beat him but Im trying to practice the fight

[waxen field]

Then whatever the next highest difficulty you haven’t beat him on

[wary badger]

eternal slayer

[pure yacht]

slayer eternal

[burnt moss]

Mars Core has Purple Goo?

On low health and after using saving throw, I beat Icon of Sin Phase 2.

I’m a Nightmare Player again!

[gray rivet]

I fucking gave up for tonight for this encounter on reclaimed earth in NM. I think it's at the end of the level

[waxen field]

That’s probably the longest tag 2 arena fight if it’s what I’m thinking of.

It was also the one that got buffed the most

[azure forum]

It does in the fog room with the barons and tyrant (MC ML)

[gray rivet]

Yea just looked it up, it's the last encounter. Idek man

[waxen field]

Then yea it’s what I’m thinking of I did it first try barely.

Though I struggled a good bit in the two fights where the escalation encounter is in that level.

[gray rivet]

I guess Immora is similiar in challenge?

[magic marsh]

I kinda like the escalation encounters

Probably because they are kind of a nod to doom 2016 where you have to pull the heart out of the gore nest and you have to fight a wave of demons and you can pass until they all died

[gray rivet]

They're great, I'm kinda just in a slog. Or I may not actually be good enough to play dlc on NM

[sterile kraken]

How strong do you have to be to parry a slayer's punch? 🤔

[magic marsh]

That’s just silly

You can’t be that strong

Your hand will be punched right off

[icy ice]

The dreaded coin room on Taras Nabad ML

[sterile kraken]

I mean, I was watching the marauder's glory kill, and...

[icy ice]

My 3rd attempt on NM extra lives mode 😐

[gray rivet]

Lol I love those glory kills, they try to stop the slayer xD

Ahhh that's funny

[gray rivet]

The struggle

[sterile kraken]

I find it sad, I would not like it.

[icy ice]

Got past the coin room without BFG and without losing a life!

And now...the double archvile room 😐

I have 4 lives left, 2 bfg shots, and 2 cruibles left. Here we go...

Much easier than the coin room lmao

2 bfg shots across the room, crucible the tyrants, freeze & blood punch the archviles and then you're set. This room is a nightmare with anything less lol

[floral wigeon]

hey guys i need help

[tawny elm]

How hard is eternal? This is my first Doom game and I'm wondering what to expect

[azure oriole]

if you do the double bfg right the arch viles die to that alone

[flint flame]

Be prepared to die if it’s your first game

Try out hurt me plenty difficulty when you start

[azure oriole]

with?

[azure oriole]

its hard enough to make you want to curse. i think its the first time for me i ever swore playing a game lol

[icy ice]

Yea I fucked up the second shot which is why I needed a little more work after the tyrants were dead

[flint flame]

Oh hey Asiju

[icy ice]

Doom will make other FPS games you may have played feel like moving in 25% speed lol

[icy ice]

In addition, if you need to lower the difficulty, go for it. It's all about having fun at the end of the day 🙂

[floral wigeon]

when i get a discord ping or something while im playing doom eternal there osent a way for me to check it cuz you cant tab out of doom without closing the entire game, is there a way to tab out of the game that i dont know off?

[azure oriole]

true. went back to play halo and cod and it just wasnt the same

[azure oriole]

tabbing out works just fine for me

[tawny elm]

So basically I should expect non-stop carnage

[brittle quest]

You can tab out of the game by Alt tab, it's a bit different than normal however and the game seems to resist.

[floral wigeon]

gotcha

[azure oriole]

@floral wigeon run the game in borderless window to make tabbing out easier

[floral wigeon]

oh gotcha

thanks yall

[brittle quest]

If you want that you should probably play D16, Deternal is focused more around resource management and selective comboing.

[gray rivet]

Fuck! I forgot I can just use the bfg!

[icy ice]

Same with Halo lol, but I had been playing halo for about 4-6 years before even playing Doom 2016. An adjustment at first when switching but after a while it's fine lol

[icy ice]

And expect to inflict non-stop carnage

[icy ice]

I actually think Doom Eternal is much better suited for this. You have significantly reduced ammo capacity in Eternal and more enemy variety allows for better comboing.

That being said, I would recommend starting with Doom 2016 for a modern doom so that you don't get tripped up going backwards if you're interested in playing it later on.

Also, just beat Taras Nabad ML on NM Extra Lives Mode

UN...another day lol

[gray rivet]

Sick

[icy ice]

Thanks 🙂 after the coin room it was mostly easy-going.

This ML gave me a lot of trouble when I first did it.

[azure forum]

UN comes down to know where to use every BFG shot and crucible charge.

[icy ice]

So far, it seems like *I got the right idea on this run. No unnecessary BFG usages really.

[azure forum]

I’m TN, coin room and Archie room are the main arenas. 1 BFG in coin room, 1 in Archie room and 3 crucibles for Archie room. That seals the deal pretty much

[gray rivet]

It's unfortunate, I feel like I have hit my skill ceiling

How can I get better?

I'm 105 hours in

[azure forum]

Hmmm 6 WW size?

If you don’t play on Pc of course

[gray rivet]

I'm on pc w controller, but I have no difficulty switching with the size 8

I'm almost fast. or less than that perhaps

[azure oriole]

This

[gray rivet]

I guess I'll just watch what others do in particular combat encounters

[azure forum]

Well, I’m sure it will improve your gameplay. I play with a 4 WW size and custom controller layout. It made a huge difference for me. Took time to get used to it, but once I did, it was so much better

[azure oriole]

You are past the "fast improvement" phase. Now you need to work on your weaknesses and train.
That can and will easily take another 100, 200, 300 hours

[icy ice]

I just stunned a hell knight using a flame belch

Didn't even know that it was possible lol

[azure oriole]

Regular punch, meathook and flame belch do 1 damage.
So if an enemy is just 1 damage point shy of stagger threshold, that can happen

[gray rivet]

Interesting, I'll look into it. Thanks

[waxen field]

Immora is pretty easy

[waxen field]

But you only have two free buttons and three in tag 1?

[azure forum]

I have cut one Weapon completely and I don't need Weapon Mod switch button. I still keep the Crucible/Hammer button through mainly for the hammer

[gray rivet]

Hmm

[icy ice]

What helped me is developing a way to quickly kill every single enemy and getting armor.

[gray rivet]

Alright, thanks

I'm trying. Fuckin doom hunters and cyber mancs

I mean i know to ice them, or falter them then BP

[icy ice]

For example, meathook a makyr drone for max ammo, health, and 30 armor instead of sniping or sticky-bombing them

And for doom hunters, 2 blood punches to the sled detaches them.

[waxen field]

Which weapon

[icy ice]

Keep your armor high at all times so that you can get blood punches more easily and save your ass if you're surrounded

[azure forum]

BFG most of the time. Recently, Chaingun to be able to use the Unmaykr.

[azure oriole]

If you have any specific level or fight you struggle with try to figure out why that is, are you not able to kill enemies efficiently or are you taking too much damage etc.
Then work on that.

[winter fox]

if you’re replaying levels that don’t have bfg ammo and you already used it it is literally just useless in every way

same goes the crucible ig

[azure forum]

Just a good advice I can give you on top of that, Full auto, Mobile turret, heat blast, MicroMissiles, remote det, and unmaykr are bad. They have their scenarios where they are useful, just don't use them at all. SSG, LoB, DBlade, stickies, PB, Shield are your best friends. Microwave beam is the most useful mod for the PR

[azure oriole]

^

[gray rivet]

Ok, thanks for the info guys

[sturdy saffron]

Can you freeze a doom hunter?

[gray rivet]

Yes

[sturdy saffron]

Ok I have a good combo

They have been annoying in nightmare

Freeze + SSG + BP to take out sled

Then just LOB or something

[flint flame]

Yeah that’s a good one

[sturdy saffron]

I'm going to destroy them for the pain they have caused me

[warped sage]

What I did was similar. Meathook to him and throw ice bomb as you’re close to him. Then blood punch him multiple times and do the SSG-Ballista combo, or just SSG.

He should quickly go to the critical damage phase. From that point I just do lock-on burst like hell to him.

[sturdy saffron]

Mine seems easier

Also I don't have double bp yet

[wild latch]

which is a good map for practicing UV mode

[flint flame]

Any level from Hell on Earth - Final Sin, UAC Atlantica -The Holt, World Spear - Dark Lord

[winter fox]

doom hunters are such assholes on nightmare

[azure oriole]

just ice bomb them and bloodpunch while bashing them with chaingun shield

also flame belch

[teal storm]

then use LOB to either stagger or immediately kill them

[winter fox]

what the fuck counts as a “left side glory kill”

i glory killed the hunter from my left side and his left side and it didn’t count for the challenge

[slow sigil]

What is "your" left side though

You can look at the doom hunter from any direction, "left" is completely subjective then

[winter fox]

the left from my perspective vs. the doom hunters left side

relative to where it’s facing

[slow sigil]

Again, what is "your" perspective

You can be everywhere, you can be on the doom hunter's left side, his right side, behind him. And your "left side" changes for every one of these scenarios

[azure oriole]

You have to go behind the DH and then from behind what is his left if I recall correctly should count for the gk. But it’s a little annoying.

[winter fox]

thanks

[icy ice]

That fucking achievement is so annoying since there are only two in the entire level and it's at the end of the level

[winter fox]

there’s a similar one for the archville in nekravol part 2 that i still haven’t done

[winter fox]

just like the left side of my screen basically

[slow sigil]

You can't glory kill it the enemy is all the way in the corner of your screen

[winter fox]

?

[slow sigil]

If an enemy is allll the way into the leftedge of your screen you can't GK them, too far away from your center

[flint flame]

That one’s brutal

[slow sigil]

Tbf just restart from checkpoint equip longer stagger times so youcan line up on their side better

[azure oriole]

Any level you feel is challenging on UV

[azure oriole]

To this day I dunno if it's left side from you or left side of the AV

[winter fox]

challenge done

[sturdy saffron]

Can you wear a full Doom Slayer outfit to a graduation?

[sterile kraken]

2016 is very "easy"

[flint flame]

Up to your school, but probably not. Most you’ll probably get is a doom slayer decal on your grad cap

[sturdy saffron]

[sterile kraken]

in high difficulties, imagine eternal

I just had the weirdest dream of my life.

[teal storm]

seeing the demonic slayer skin on fire during underwater gameplay is funny

[sturdy saffron]

I hate the sharks

They op

[sterile kraken]

Ah

[azure oriole]

Amogus

Funny me me gane

[sterile kraken]

Yea

[wary badger]

finally my laptop is fixed

hey guys how can i stop preventing rocket launcher remote detonating when i quick switch rl pb quick switch

[sacred bronze]

anyone got any tips for ultra nightmare run?

[wary badger]

it keeps exploding into my face

[winter fox]

get a licensed therapist

[azure oriole]

Hold alt fire while swapping

[azure oriole]

Here's a pro tip for you. Ponder whether it truly is worth the pain and suffering for a skin you might not use anyway

[wary badger]

okay thx

[wary badger]

better just buy the deluxe edition cause demonic slayer

[teal storm]

buys deluxe edition for the weapon sfx pack

[simple umbra]

whats the worst heavy demon

[azure oriole]

Carcass

even if you can one shot him in 2 ways

[teal storm]

cyber mancubus imo

not having a blood punch makes fighting it a pain

[azure oriole]

uhhhhhhhh

i need 40£ for doom i got 10 £

[wraith crag]

rip

[simple umbra]

wait for a sale and get more

[waxen field]

He can be one shot with a min charge db very effective if there alota them

[azure oriole]

Shield tho

[waxen field]

Goes through shields

[azure oriole]

when yuou want to glory kill a demon and shield appears infront of you.

[waxen field]

Dash to side

[azure oriole]

I don't have dashes

I play super gore nest

[waxen field]

The worst one is in coin room and that isn’t even the hard part of that fight

[teal storm]

coin room?

[waxen field]

Taras ml

[teal storm]

ah
i've yet to play that ml and i've heard that it's pain

[waxen field]

It soft locked for me after struggling with the final fight for a while I quit the level cause it happened literally after killing the last enemy.

Good ml outside of that a bit too many cramped rooms though and archie room feels bs without superweapons imo.

[woeful brook]

@waxen field play it on classic mode lol

[waxen field]

On uv maybe lol

[woeful brook]

I doubt you'll get it on first try lol

[strange gale]

lol

[woeful brook]

Pepe lol?

[cloud anvil]

reminder that it's literally impossible to get the red classic Doomguy skin on PC now

ever since Bethesda Launcher shut down

and neither the 2004 version of 3 nor BFG Edition are coded to unlock the red skin in Eternal if installed

especially stupid in this case since the 2019 version is literally just BFG Edition without Doom 1 and 2 included

[low zephyr]

Maybe you could buy it on console?

Sign in and get the reward on pc

[cloud anvil]

I don't think it works that way

[random vault]

that wouldnt work

[quartz dust]

I love full auto maraude one cycle

Also I cannot figure out foot ballista faultering for the life of me

[gray rivet]

The chaingunners from TAG 2 suck

Not fun to fight, they look so cool too

[slow sigil]

they are just normal shield gunners but with red and a welding helmet lol

[gray rivet]

I don't like shooting the ground behind them or remote det to be the only way to kill them @slow sigil

Thats boring to me

[slow sigil]

stickies

[gray rivet]

Sure I'll try that

[slow sigil]

you can also quickly move behind them then just shoot lol

[floral wigeon]

hey guys is there a name for the wierd red ball things that fly

and you shoot them in the mouth and stuff

[slow sigil]

Cacodemons

[floral wigeon]

ohh okay tysm

[azure oriole]

Any tips on doing Taras Nabad Master Level on UT? And what perks should I use?

[flint flame]

Runes don’t matter, use whatever you use normally. Just learn the map basically. For coin room, chaingun shield/ice bomb/destroyer blade everything

[quick grove]

damn everyone was right. this davoth bossfight is ass.

[azure oriole]

It does. I bought the classics on switch and got the skins for eternal on xbox. Just use the same slayers club account

[flint flame]

I think the mobile versions also have slayers club connectivity

[hot tree]

I wish he had a demonic praetor suit like in the concept art

[quick grove]

i wish he wasnt so boring

[flint flame]

I thought the demonic praetor shit was for the marauder?

[cloud anvil]

I wish he was like Jakob from Dusk

[azure oriole]

I got ghost pinged 💀

[quick grove]

a spirit+totem buffed marauder would be more fun than this pile of shit

[flint flame]

We all did

[hot tree]

Nah I’m talking about sum else, u want me 2 dm it?

[random vault]

who is jakob from dusk

[cloud anvil]

Second to last boss
Basically fighting another player

[magic marsh]

I just got flashbacks to the blood swamps

[quick grove]

that fightwas so good

[cloud anvil]

Holt Slayer Gate

[quartz dust]

Extra glory kill range and that one rune that decreases the cooldown of equipment when you get kills with them are pretty useful, but dont have a massive impact on gamepiss

It up to you

[azure oriole]

Thanks, I’m already using the equipment one, I just always waste my ice bombs lol

[quartz dust]

Ice bomb health upgrade very useful

[azure oriole]

Totally, that’s what I realised recently

Combining bombs with that ballista mod is so good

[quartz dust]

Spamming blood punch and using extra health to recharge fast good

[azure oriole]

Yeah, I usually waste my blood punches too lol

[onyx marsh]

mfw I waste my blood punches on a baron of hell instead of cycling like normal

[still palm]

i use blood punch on groups of fodder demons either flame belched and/or ice bombed

[bitter lark]

Just beat a level on nightmare mode for the first time and it gave me 600xp love to see it

[quick grove]

#videos i hit the dark lord, was about to kill him, and he healed while in the state where i can kill him. such bullshit.

[alpine plaza]

skill issue

[still palm]

I went afk and died to a zombie in UN luckily I was just on Hell on earth

[warm juniper]

am i the only one who hasnt beat un

[cloud anvil]

no

[topaz steppe]

nice username

[hot tree]

Hell no lmao

[strange gale]

UNnecessary

[still palm]

nope

[fossil terrace]

no, it's also definitely not for some people, I beat it and was miserable through it just for a skin i haven't ever used

[azure oriole]

I beat extra life mode with 20 lives remaining on nightmare

Time for ultra nightmare 😈

[bitter lark]

Just beat the last encounter before the boss in Imorra and the game broke

I can’t progress : )

[slow sigil]

Campaign UN is the worst UN, ml's and the dlc are quite ok for UN

[woeful brook]

I suck at the game

I can't even get past cultist base

[bitter lark]

What difficulty

[rustic rampart]

Cultist base hardest level

[woeful brook]

@bitter lark ultra nightmare

[bitter lark]

Oh

Dang

[woeful brook]

Even worse that I play on console

[rustic rampart]

Me too

[bitter lark]

I’ve tried controller, I don’t like it very much

[woeful brook]

I just dash everywhere and aim incorrectly

[rustic rampart]

Yeah you basically need to customize your controls to play comfortably

[woeful brook]

Most of the time my brain just stops

[rustic rampart]

Maybe you could try the slow time time? Its great for taking a breather

[woeful brook]

@rustic rampart I know which one you're talking about but it dosent fit my play style no more

I guess Im better off staying in ultra violence for ETERNAL

[rustic rampart]

No shame in that

[sacred dirge]

Well that's more of your guys personal inability to do something not the controllers fault

[violet dome]

I die in UN sometimes in SGN buff totem area with the prowlers and gladiator when he doesn't want to stagger, and sometimes in exultia for the lack of hp

[sacred dirge]

It would be like me saying spaghetti is bad because I can't make it

[woeful brook]

@violet dome at least you made it to SGN

[rustic rampart]

spaghetti yum

[fossil terrace]

More like saying risotto is bad because it's hard to make. It takes more time and understanding than just "throw noodle in water" it's harder to do than spaghetti but with enough skill, still possible to make an incredibly good risotto.

[sacred dirge]

Great analogy actually

[violet dome]

My last death was on Icon of sin for not paying attention to cyber mancubis, but after you get every upgrade the rest of the game is "easy"

But if you do something wrong for just 1 sec the game just punish you with a death

[azure oriole]

@woeful brook I caught that 😂

[woeful brook]

@azure oriole good, better hold on to it

[woeful brook]

For me dying constantly on nightmare is like a professional chef struggling to make a burger

[fossil terrace]

lmao

[woeful brook]

@fossil terrace thanks I think im funny too

[icy ice]

Attemping Extra Lives Mode on WS ML. Haven't played it in months lol

[bitter lark]

Ayo devs yall made the darklord fights final stage too hard

[random vault]

not true

[nocturne summit]

dark lord is such a fucking trainwreck lol

they literally took marauder and were like "what if we took all the obnoxious cringe parts and made an entire boss fight that's just that, and then make it the final boss"

and also it heals itself if you try to play it any way other than the way we explicitly want you to because fuck you

[waxen field]

The hardest part about Dark Lord is not falling asleep from how boring it is. Even if you find him difficult he’s still super boring.

[bitter lark]

It’s just so repetitive and the mechanics of how you can’t get hit just sucks

[waxen field]

And if you hit him at the wrong time he’ll fully heal

[nocturne summit]

it genuinely feels like id was salty about all of the clips people were posting of killing the marauder in creative ways and so they made dark lord to force people to play the traffic light

[waxen field]

Also the gladiator is a better Dark Lord in every way

[nocturne summit]

gladiator highkey the best boss they made, everything after was downhill

actually icon is better but he's also not really a boss in the traditional sense

[waxen field]

I like Khan and icon even though khan is hella easy.

Samuel is also a good fight

Also I’ll admit I’m the only living human that struggles with trial of maligog though in my defense I play on console though that fight isn’t very good regardless.

[nocturne summit]

samur is icon but worse in that it traffic lights you to force you to fight the ai

[waxen field]

I think they’re pretty different also you can fight Samuel whenever he also has no stupid shield

Also Doom Hunter is alright I like the boss becomes enemy gimmick if it isn’t overly done

[quartz dust]

My balls

Why is there no troll face emoj

I am disappointed

[nocturne summit]

they have the same core dynamic in that the main boss summons enemies to distract you and test your ability in the main combat loop as well as learning the boss' patterns

except samur is much more heavy-handed with its structure of fight samur > fight ai > fight samur > fight ai

as opposed to icon which attempts a similar feel but doesn't pigeonhole you in the same way

[waxen field]

At least you have to fight the demons with icon you span the sword or ignore them

Also what’s bad about the spirit sections anyways

[nocturne summit]

they just feel like a waste of my time

it's essentially the same as dark lord holding up his shield and forcing you to wait to actually make progress in the fight

at least you can bfg cheese

[waxen field]

What’s a waste if time?

The spirit summons are difficult enough to be a notable part of the fight especially in the final phase.

The other adds can be ignored or dealt with in minimal time if your good enough

[bitter lark]

You can just cheese the attack by keeping demon night alive while fighting

[waxen field]

Cheese by wut

[alpine plaza]

🧀

[waxen field]

Thx

[mortal grail]

Hallo! I’ve been playing doom eternal for about a year now and I still need to get better at quick swapping on xbox any tips?

[waxen field]

Turn weapon wheel delay down for example I have it at 110 ms.
Also don’t forget you have two free buttons to put weapon hotkeys on.

[still palm]

which combat shotgun mod is better to quick swap to

[mortal grail]

Oh thank you!

[waxen field]

Sticky is overall better (though I sometimes use fa cause it’s fun imo)

[waxen field]

Also I forgot you have a third free button in tag 1

[nocturne summit]

stickies are alright to swap with but are basically just worse rockets. full auto is completely irredeemable garbage tho

the sad thing is when you actually know swaps this game has like four good guns in it

[mortal grail]

I don’t have TAG 😅

[mortal grail]

Yep…

[waxen field]

That shield is pretty good

[nocturne summit]

shield ain't a gun

and is also cringe and bad and i hate it because it's an absolute trainwreck of balancing

[waxen field]

You shoot when it’s up so it’s a gun lol

[nocturne summit]

i don't think you understand just how deeply i despise cgs

it completely demolishes this game's combat and warps everything around it if you abuse it

[fossil terrace]

"worse rockets" does no self damage and when paired with pb is just slightly less dps

[nocturne summit]

rockets can be viably punch swapped for massively more dps

[fossil terrace]

imo, just as abusable as cgs

ruins combat, no strategy just punch swap hi dps till everything is dead or chainsaw and return to it.

[nocturne summit]

ong you're not about to argue that doing lots of dps with rockets is comparable to having a get out of jail free card god mode

[mortal grail]

So anyways… im stuck spoilers||on the khan maker boss|| what’s a recommended weapon combo?

[waxen field]

Cgs killed his family

[fossil terrace]

lmao

[nocturne summit]

pb ballista on the orb in her chest dumpsters her

[mortal grail]

I had no idea i’ll give that a shot

[fossil terrace]

2 lobs and a ballista shot i believe immediately sends her into blood punch

[mortal grail]

Rn im just using the classic super shotgun and ballista

[fossil terrace]

it's either 2 or 3

[nocturne summit]

ssg ballista 🤮

[fossil terrace]

doom elitist lmao

[mortal grail]

X3

[nocturne summit]

yeah

[waxen field]

Lol

[mortal grail]

Im still a beginner

Any other better combos are greatly appreciated

[waxen field]

Also I stan meme beam

[nocturne summit]

precision bolt makes other weapons swap faster

[fossil terrace]

what's next, "the only acceptable difficulties are nightmare and ultra nightmare"

[nocturne summit]

pair it with ssg, ballista, or rocket depending on the scenario

everything outside those three swaps is highly situational

[mortal grail]

Noted

[waxen field]

If you suck horde uninstall lmao

[nocturne summit]

bored mode

[fossil terrace]

microwave meme or frag for falter, close range ssg, kills most heavies.

[nocturne summit]

literally unbind plasma / take it off your wheel lmao

only time you're truly required to use any of it ever is during the final boss of tag 1

[waxen field]

Blasphemy

[fossil terrace]

microwave beam is a guarenteed stunlock and when used properly, can be the second most powerful tool in your arsenal second only to rocket launcher. Learning soft and hard faulters open up the playing field and gives the funnest amount of strategizing. Movement is key and dodging demons and their attacks is how you truly master the game. Just have fun no matter what, this is a game, not a competetion for money. If you're not having fun, don't play.

[waxen field]

Nope sorry nonmeta is illegal

[mortal grail]

Also i love eternal it’s just a super nice way of relaxing

[fossil terrace]

let me delete my statement, i made a mistake. Use chainfun shield and do absoulutely nothing but bp ballista, pb rocket, or pb ssg.

[waxen field]

Honestly true

[nocturne summit]

rocket launcher number one meme beam number two is a bad joke. meme beam requires you to sacrifice dps for falters when straight damage and nades offer plenty of falters with zero opportunity cost

you can use meme beam for these things but it's going to be slower than alternatives for everything but spirits

[mortal grail]

I have no idea why but doom players are the chillest bunch i have met

[nocturne summit]

which even then you don't really need falters for as long as your dps and movement are good enough

[waxen field]

Honestly /killai is the only tech you need lol

[nocturne summit]

not to mention the ways meme beam restricts your movement

[fossil terrace]

at the end of the day, don't let anyone ruin that chill. Rip and tear slayer

[mortal grail]

You too man

Thanks for your guy’s help

[fossil terrace]

np

[waxen field]

Meme beaming a spirit possessed demon after already killing everything else is very satisfying.

Love to see them suffer lol

[fossil terrace]

lol

not killing spirits is a pretty fun way to play TAG 1

[nocturne summit]

shame samur forces you to

[waxen field]

I meant the thing they possessed after already killing everything else via meme beam stunlock

[fossil terrace]

yeah, i went through tag 1 at launch not reading tips, didn't know you could even kill them till samur forced me to look at their codex.

[glossy vortex]

Hello

[fossil terrace]

also fun, torment the tormentors

[waxen field]

Fellow Cane enjoyer I see

[glossy vortex]

Wat

[waxen field]

Or was it Kane

[glossy vortex]

I

I have no idea

[waxen field]

Your pfp

[glossy vortex]

Oh I just have him as my pfp and yeah it’s kane

I finished doom now what do I do?

[waxen field]

Which one

[glossy vortex]

Eternal

[waxen field]

The dlc and horde

[hybrid hamlet]

There’s no official game afterwards besides dlc

which i recommend, it’s a great dlc

[waxen field]

master levels and horde

[glossy vortex]

I just started 2 am I meant to do 1?

[hybrid hamlet]

Yea, I mean like separate game

[mortal grail]

Uhhhh replay on a different difficulty?

[glossy vortex]

I tried

[mortal grail]

Assuming you haven’t completed ultra nightmare

[waxen field]

If you mean tag then you should play tag 1 before 2

[glossy vortex]

I almost didn’t complete Iam too young to die sir

[waxen field]

You’ll be fine just don’t do the slayer gates

[glossy vortex]

Don’t question my lack of skills

I only did one

It was kinda easy ngl

[waxen field]

Tag 1 isn’t too bad just remember to use equipment and chainsaw, shield is op

Air control is also op

[glossy vortex]

What happens after tag 1 and 2 is hell just killed

[waxen field]

play it to find out

[azure oriole]

Do chainsaw kills count towards blood punch?

No

[waxen field]

No but they kill instantly unlike a glory kill

[kindred horizon]

is chainsaw affected by the savagery rune?

[waxen field]

I think so? I know it triggers blood fueled.

[kindred horizon]

alright thanks ive just been experimenting with runes lately

[cyan frigate]

its not unfortunately but it does trigger blood fueled. so does crucible 👍

[fossil terrace]

no, it's always the same speed

[waxen field]

What an odd discrepancy

[kindred horizon]

thanks

[cyan frigate]

right? so does killing a buff totem!

[fossil terrace]

however, there is a battlemode perk that does increase it's speed called carve mastery

[waxen field]

As in that also isn’t affected by savagery?

[fossil terrace]

they keep it unaffected as it's meant to be a breather, check your stats, ammo, and cooldowns while chainsawing

[cyan frigate]

i actually dont know, 🤣but i do know it activates bf 👀

[waxen field]

Than unequip savagery

[fossil terrace]

savagery is also a waste of a rune tbf

[kindred horizon]

i think its purpose is to let you chain more glory kills so it has its uses

[fossil terrace]

only thing it helps with is getting in and out of a gk so you don't get crowded

[fossil terrace]

also that

[waxen field]

I guess the worst rune is worse than I thought.

Maybe the blood punch rune is worse I can’t notice a difference in hp gained anyways

[cyan frigate]

savagery isnt necessary at all but it is great for the games flow imo

[fossil terrace]

it's also reeallly useless

[kindred horizon]

i love punch and reave

if punch and reave has one fan im it

[fossil terrace]

because it literally only gives health to bp shockwave

[waxen field]

Dazed is better used for that

[cyan frigate]

never heard anyone say that i respect it 😎🤣

[kindred horizon]

ok but idk im just like using it and i find ways to make it useful so i use it

[nova knot]

Every rune has use depending on playstyle

[fossil terrace]

my rune combo is Air mobility, equipment fiend, and bf

[waxen field]

That’s so trash lol

[fossil terrace]

2 meta 1 for fun

[kindred horizon]

thank you

[waxen field]

Bf?

[fossil terrace]

blood fueled

[kindred horizon]

i use the same but punch and reave instead of equipment fiend

[mortal grail]

Mine are speed boost (can’t remember name) air mobility and slowing time

[waxen field]

Oh ya dur
That used to be my combo but I now do dazed instead of bf

[kindred horizon]

enough rune discourse what color hud do do you use?

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah dazed is helpful
