[midnight rivet]

are your hands melted yet?

doomicorn op

[loud leaf]

What

[midnight rivet]

ur playing eternal on a switch

that kills switches

[brittle quest]

Nope, and if anyone says so they're lying through their teeth.

[midnight rivet]

yup

when u born

im a fucking nerd

1989?

thats when the pentium came out

oh shit

1993

[loud leaf]

I am playing it on the switch

[midnight rivet]

i beg to differ

[loud leaf]

Nah fr

[midnight rivet]

it proly runs better on a phone

[brittle quest]

You are not.

[loud leaf]

On the switch lite i can send a photo

[midnight rivet]

u probably playing on lowest settings on 480p and still getting 30fps

[loud leaf]

You cant even change the settings💀

[brittle quest]

Hey now, I don't even interact in this chat half the time 😔

[loud leaf]

Idc i dont have any other platform to play it on

[midnight rivet]

bro get a budget build

i spent like 450 and get like 80fps on high

[loud leaf]

Yeahthats 900 leva

[midnight rivet]

what the fuck is leva

[loud leaf]

Bulgarian currency

Eastern Europe

[midnight rivet]

bulgarian mf💀

[midnight rivet]

im not a dumbass i know

imps are the most annoying demons

[brittle seal]

What about archviles

It's ok

[midnight rivet]

eh, just super shotgun with flaming hook and precision shot will kill them

[brittle seal]

Well it depends on the situation

[midnight rivet]

yeah

imps are easy to kill but have inf range

[brittle quest]

Are we talking about DE imps? They're genuine trash, even their melee deals 20-30 damage on NM

[midnight rivet]

just supershotgun at good enough range

[midnight rivet]

ye

[brittle quest]

Compared to maybe a gargoyle, that can deal updwards of 60 damage just because it happened to be behing you for a single instant.

That's your friend, a very helpful friend. Cherish it.

[midnight rivet]

maykr ss is best skin hands down

its easy to get and looks good

[brittle quest]

Me, for one.\

[midnight rivet]

eh, it looks good, but not maykr good

[brittle quest]

Haloween event.

[midnight rivet]

someone is selling a diabolic ss on etsy

for 6000

[brittle quest]

It's the only one I had lying on discord for the moment

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/941927376504385596/1031208176097427516/unknown.png

Nevermind, this one's better with the viewmodel.

[midnight rivet]

why do ppl thing the spider mastermind and arachnatron are the same

[brittle quest]

Not a single person has ever said that, unless I'm in the unrealised company of individuals with above average intellect somehow.

[midnight rivet]

yup u are

[wary badger]

my laptop keeps shutting down when i play games(i playes 30m but it crashed and shutted down)

[wary badger]

arachnotrons are from the dna of the spider mind making them the same but smaller and no magic (its in the codex of doom eternal)

[midnight rivet]

wb the last boss of doom 2016? it seems a bit bigger and less deadly than archnatron

[wary badger]

i meant the arachnotron that dont have magic and more smaller but have the same dna

[midnight rivet]

also im too lazy to open doom eternal to check if im wrong

[midnight rivet]

then what is the massive plasma launcher sticking out of his head?

[wary badger]

plasma launcher but small

[midnight rivet]

its half the size of its head

should i try playing de with 25600 dpi?

yup

screw 1000dpi

holy balls i cant open steam

[brittle quest]

Sounds like a heat issue, try setting a frame cap to 60 or something

Also clean your laptop's fans

[wary badger]

no its with every game that i play

[wary badger]

also if i unplug the charger of my laptop it will shut down

[brittle quest]

Sounds like an extremely clear indication that there is something wrong with your battery, and probably the cause of your crashes as well. In short, replacement of the battery seems to be the only option.

[wary badger]

well time to ask my godfather again for another battery

[brittle quest]

Still, it could be that your cpu is overheating on every game. Have you tried monitoring temps?

[rich cosmos]

hell, it might even be inflated or something

[wary badger]

https://youtu.be/UwdzVPwTaTY yo guys look

[gloomy vapor]

I'm having issues finding the texture resolution option in Doom Eternal
is there none?

[azure oriole]

it's been a year since the last major update, did id cut the support for the game?

[drifting chasm]

I did but still doesnt work

[azure forum]

[brittle quest]

Texture Pool Size, it's extremely apparent.

[round shadow]

Bruh xd

Happy Halloween 🗿👍

[gloomy vapor]

that's how much memory is allocated to textures
and, in practice, it doesn't seem to affect texture resolution
I have been reading on the topic and it seems the game simply doesn't have higher res textures

[burnt moss]

I recommend using Gyro aiming

[drifting chasm]

somebody help

[burnt moss]

Next step is get the masteries again on a new save

[opal galleon]

It is a perfectly valid way to complete all content in the game albeit at a frame-rate disadvantage 👍

[ruby solar]

anyone else not able to get into the event? I haven't been able to for a while.

[gloomy vapor]

I seem to be stuck in a time loop
I keep repeating the battle in the first level where two cacodemons spawn,
then one arachnotron and one more cacodemon
I try to never stop moving and to spam glory kills, simply to stay alive
but I keep dying

most of the time I don't even get past the first two cacodemons
more likely than not I fail the grenade throw and die (not sure why it only eats the grenade sometimes)
other times I manage to kill one but the other obliterates me
by the time I get to the arachnotron I'm almost out of ammo, sometimes I don't even have enough to kill it with the aimed shot
and when the next cacodemon spawns I'm already out of ammo

I know chainsaw is there but it always says "not enough fuel"

I keep repeating this trying to figure out what I'm actually supposed to be doing, since it isn't working, but I don't seem bright enough to do so
I really could use some tips

[frigid walrus]

[gloomy vapor]

ok, finally got through that
don't even known how I managed to

[frank rivet]

Is there a way to uninstall only the dlc

[burnt moss]

What platform

[frank rivet]

Steam

[burnt moss]

Probably but idk. Xbox lets you delete add ons if you go to the game details or something. I removed Story Mode from MK11 that way.

Just kidding if that fight takes more than 10 attempts it automatically uninstalls Doom

50 and it uninstalls Steam

[gloomy vapor]

I'm not a fan of playing in difficulties lower than default
feels borderline cheaty
I'd rather take more time and actually learn to play the game

with that said, I just failed 4 consecutive grenade throws into a cacodemon's mouth

[burnt moss]

You’re on Hurt Me Plenty then?

[gloomy vapor]

yes

the difficulty truly spiked up going from fully upgraded DOOM 2016 to brand new Eternal save
I don't recall 2016 being this hard when I started it but then again that was years ago
it kinda feels like I take 2x damage while enemies have 4x health

[brittle quest]

I think it does, until high. After which all it does is preload textures.

Needless to say it's a rather redundant option that has minimal impact on graphical fidelity.

[azure oriole]

Those Hell Priests sure went out like punks

Quite quickly too haha

[gloomy vapor]

might be too early for me to judge but so far I feel the opposite; the brutality has been quite toned down
at least for glory kills
most of them so far are just "blade to the skull"

shotgun ammo is the first to run out, though

[worn sphinx]

yeah the chainsaw and the glory kills animations does feel less brutal overall

[gloomy vapor]

should I use chainsaw on regular enemies?
I reckon bigger ones would drop more ammo but they also require more fuel and I rarely have it

[worn sphinx]

chainsawing big ennemies is a good strat when you know the ammo pickup locations and are more confortable with the fights, it's just a way to speed up some fights
So yeah chainsawing small ennemies is the way to go when you're starting and in general

[brittle quest]

This becomes reflex till a point you can chainsaw the precise moment it's recharged just by muscle memory.

[slow sigil]

Or just around that time

[gloomy vapor]

it's gonna take a lot of time to get used to all this stuff
assuming I ever get to that point; I'll likely keep messing up and just clear stuff by chance
I've never been the skillful kind
DOOM 2016 made me feel powerful; Eternal makes me feel powerless 🙂

[slow sigil]

It'll make you feel powerfull af when you get to know it

[gloomy vapor]

what I have realized already is these two games play nothing alike and I should drop all expectations I had
easier said than done, though

[slow sigil]

Yes

It's usually a good idea to drop your expectations when playing different games

[gloomy vapor]

well, sequels don't usually stray too far away from previous entries
at least in my experience; this is the exception to the rule

[slow sigil]

I mean it didnt go too far away in spirit

[icy ice]

I think doom 2016 and eternal play similarly although eternal is set up in a way for you to actually understand and master the mechanics of the game better than 2016

[gloomy vapor]

gameplay and ambientation are completely different, so far
the only unchanged points are DOOM guy, the enemies and the general lore
but you could very well exchange the MC and the enemies and call it a completely different name

I am not complaining, btw

[icy ice]

In 2016 I just blindly used a few weapons whereas in eternal I had reasons to use everything.

[gloomy vapor]

I played 2016 to relieve stress
I play Eternal to accumulate stress

what's best for killing arachnotrons, after taking out their rifles?
so far the only thing I found effective is the plasma beam

[dusk copper]

are you in the early game

[lofty estuary]

i usually weapon swap from one rocket to one ballista blast to a super shotgun, if you're starting early i would recommend taking out the turret and then switching your weapon mod on the shotgun to full auto and just unloading on him

[gloomy vapor]

yes, I just started

shotgun to full auto
is that really a good idea?
with so few weapons I don't think I should be spending shotgun ammo that carelessly

[lofty estuary]

i mean you could chainsaw right after (yes its a bit of a waste but it gets him out of the equation early on)

[dusk copper]

you can use grenades and sticky bombs

plasma and blood punch

he becomes incredibly easy when you get other weapons

[lofty estuary]

it also depends how quick you can weapon swap right after shooting, i use a controller so its sorta like snapping onto something on the weapon wheel so i can get it and shoot quick

[gloomy vapor]

I, uh... I think I'll leave slayer gates for later...

[dusk copper]

they aint that bad

[lofty estuary]

what difficulty are you on?

[dusk copper]

i think hes on hurt me plenty

[lofty estuary]

hmm, might need a bit of practice but yeah shouldn't be too hard then

[dusk copper]

did you just get the game

[gloomy vapor]

I started just today
I'm only at the second level

[dusk copper]

on pc or console

[gloomy vapor]

PC

[dusk copper]

you should set keybinds

itll make the game so much easier and better and more fun

[brittle quest]

It's a good habit to start by keybinds so you don't suffer later.

[dusk copper]

i recommend watching yt videos on different youtubers keybinds, because a lot of them are pretty good, however you can set different weapons to whatever feels best for you

[brittle quest]

I'd recommend one playthrough of the game, and then a bit of experimentation with binds/ while talking help from some good player's binds.

[brittle quest]

Sylar for one, he's the best youtuber in the sense of weapon juggling.

[dusk copper]

i took under the mayos keybinds

[icy ice]

Sticky bomb the turret the Arachnotron has

Or precision bolt

Best options early on

[gloomy vapor]

I've already been playing with the bindings
I haven't really felt the need to change many, though

[dusk copper]

you may need to as you progress when you get more weapons

[gloomy vapor]

I feel the weapon wheel makes more sense than single mappings for each weapon
I'll likely start using it once I have >4 weapons

[quick grove]

so will there be any more updates to the game or is id done with it?

[lofty estuary]

yeah i think they're done with it and moving on to other things

[midnight sparrow]

Just like with DOOM 2016 version 6.66 is the last major update. Anything else will be re runs of old cosmetics and bug fixes most likely. For the most part though id has begun work on new projects

[quick grove]

ah i heard from my friend they were making a new game mode but i didnt know if he knew what he was talking about

[midnight sparrow]

Your friend doesn’t know what he’s talking about

[dusk copper]

wish they added a sandbox

[quick grove]

i wish that you could set the waves for the ripatorium. that would be the best.

[midnight sparrow]

A level editor like SnapMap would be awesome

[dusk copper]

theres mods for waves

[midnight sparrow]

That and official mod support

[dusk copper]

fr

[quick grove]

no i mean like you can set what demons you fight in the ripatorium

like you can choose how many and which ones

[dusk copper]

aka sandbox

[quick grove]

yeah

[dusk copper]

i think theres a sandbox mod actually

[quick grove]

nope

[dusk copper]

a mod that you have to download i mean 💀

[quick grove]

... yeah what other kind of mod is there

[flint flame]

Slayer Palast?

[dusk copper]

nah where you can spawn whatever enemy you want

[quick grove]

dude no way james mcgill real?

[quick grove]

yeah theres currently no mod for that

[dusk copper]

you can probably find one

[quick grove]

you cant because it does not exist

i spend like half an hour looking for one a few weeks ago

[flint flame]

Commands

[edgy fjord]

was it in Taras Nabad?

[dusk copper]

idk

[dusk copper]

what are they

[edgy fjord]

https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/851

if you put this in your doom eternal directory and run the game it should allow you to spawn enemies with the "chrispy" command

like if you want to spawn an imp you'll have to type "chrispy ai/fodder/imp" into the console

[dusk copper]

is the directory just the doom eternal folder

[edgy fjord]

yeah

[dusk copper]

not the base but just the doom eternal folder

[edgy fjord]

yeah

[oak pebble]

@quick grove installed a mod that makes the hammer sound like a fart

[flint flame]

Hellbringer? More like Fartbringer!!

[azure oriole]

Speechless

[quick grove]

i did

[burnt moss]

2016s runes taught mechanics in a way Eternal doesn’t like at all. So I disagree. I miss those challenges.

[burnt moss]

World Fart

Reclaimed Fart

The Dark Fart

Fart Eternal

FartHook

Fartist Base

[ember void]

the fart lord is better

[flint flame]

No fart can be pooted in this…holy place

[bitter yarrow]

Absolutely 0 farts

[burnt moss]

Am I… the Farter… Dr. Hayden?

[burnt moss]

OMG SO TRUE!

[azure oriole]

Taras Nabad can eat balls man

[hushed garden]

naballs

[flint flame]

Taras No balls?

[azure oriole]

Horrible level

[gilded wharf]

in the first 2 levels (where arachnotrons are most dangerous), a frag grenade and 3 sticky bombs will stagger an arachnotron if you take out its turret with a sticky bomb. if you use precision bolt you will need 4 sticky bombs to stagger it. I don't recommend trying to get in close for heat blast or blood punch unless you get the frag grenade falter first.

once you get the rocket launcher and ballista they become much easier to deal with, lock on burst can stagger them all on its own

[quick grove]

Precision bolt, ballista shot, sticky bomb, rocket launcher, blood punch

[calm oyster]

taras nabad is cool but wow the swimming parts suck

[gilded wharf]

exactly

you can also just save up 3 chainsaw fuel for the mandatory arachnotrons on Hell on Earth, since ammo pickups are plentiful on that level anyway and the only other heavy demons present are cacos

[azure oriole]

Gd marauders

[quick grove]

Taras nabad is my least favorite level because of the long puzzle sections and because it has a lot of meh arenas

It’s also pretty damn long, but some levels can pull that off

[azure oriole]

I’m still not past it. Damn Marauder keeps killing me.

[bitter yarrow]

I got my ass kicked by them early game. Late game I just shoot them with the super shotgun if they get too close. Around 2 shots should kill them if you disable the turret first

Early game I think I took out the turret then sprayed with heavy assault rifle

[azure oriole]

crazy

dude

what's the difference between doom and doom eternal

am Hella confused

One is called doom and the other is also called doom but also has the word eternal slapped onto the end

[crimson yacht]

I’m going for Ultra Nightmare on Xbox One and I can sometimes get to level 3, any tips?

[burnt moss]

Ice bomb and Precision bolt are really helpful. Get the Hotswapper suit perk. Air control and Equipment Fiend are good runes. Save weapon points for SSG.

[crimson yacht]

What’s SSG?

[burnt moss]

Super Shotgun

[crimson yacht]

Ok thank you

[fickle mist]

buff doom guy please not strong enough

[crimson yacht]

My plan after Ultra Nightmare is to also do it on the DLC

[bitter yarrow]

Doom eternal has more movement, a few differences in weapons but they make a huge difference, a lot of new demons that add a lot to combat, and the combat is much better with you switching between weapons much more often

[wary badger]

im not gonna play long in doom eternal since it will shut down my laptop and loose my progress and i would only practice in the tutorial and quick switch all of my combos so i wont get rusty until my laptop is fixed i would only play long

[wary badger]

well doom 2016 is more based on reality but still cartoony, and doom eternal embraces its cartoony past

[azure oriole]

Can you play the dlc on ps4?

[flint flame]

No

You can not play the dlc made for all platforms minus switch, which would come later, on ps4

[azure oriole]

So it’s gonna come to ps4? Because it says I can only play on ps5 which is weird when you can play the base game on ps4

[wary badger]

what if doom guy and khan maykr made a human maykr hybrid

[icy ice]

So when I first beat the World Spear ML on NM, it took me quite literally 6 hours to do, all in one sitting. Now, I've improved to the point where it takes only 2! I still have a few deaths to work out (like the possessed & armored baron part, and the possessed doom hunter part), but I think I have a strategy for every part now.

I just wish there was a way to practice a checkpoint without doing the entire level over again .

[flint flame]

[wary badger]

would it fly have magic or have doom guys skills

[flint flame]

It would be dead.

[wary badger]

wdym

[flint flame]

Why would the slayer ever bang KM? Even if he did, he would likely regret his actions. Also this is a hella weird topic, no more horny

[wary badger]

would it die due to birthing problems ?

[wary badger]

its a random topic in my head

[flint flame]

Random topic that did not need to be brought up

[azure oriole]

Server gone crazy tonight

[wary badger]

what did i miss

[random vault]

its the doom discord, nothing really important

[icy ice]

Excepting dooming the demons of course

[azure oriole]

How do you unlock Doom 1993 in Eternal?

[flint flame]

Acquire all cheat codes

(Alternatively just run the wad file with gzdoom)

[icy ice]

Is there any hint in DE that indicates what the password should be to unlock Doom 2?

[azure oriole]

I found out from an old gameranx video

[flint flame]

One of the books on the shelf, but yeah just gotta guess

[azure oriole]

Yup

[burnt moss]

Alrighty, back to the MC ML grind

I wonder if watching a video on it will help

[icy ice]

I did a recent stream of it if you're interested

[burnt moss]

Yes please

[azure oriole]

So if you die during a ML, do you have to restart the whole level?

[icy ice]

If you quit then you do

You have to do it in one sitting which is very annoying

[azure oriole]

Brutal

[icy ice]

Check the videos channel 🙂

[burnt moss]

Unless your Xbox does a save state for dormant games 🙂

[azure oriole]

I’m still trying to get past the Marauder on Taras Nabad. Jerk.

[wary badger]

skill issue

[azure oriole]

Clearly

[icy ice]

I got really lucky once, fired a bfg shot and killed him while he was charging at me 😂

[wary badger]

save the 3 gas pipes for the cacodemon them bomb the zombies behind the marauder so they wont mess up the marauders cycle

the mecha zombies need to die. fetus delete them.

[azure oriole]

The one late in the level, right after you grab the crucible, is the one I can’t get past. For whatever reason.

[gilded wharf]

that secret encounter in cultist base with 2 whiplashes and a manc gets me every time, I just can't find a consistent way to clear it on nightmare

[wary badger]

are playing the master level ?

[azure oriole]

I had some great momentum on this game up until this level. It’s been kicking my ass.

[burnt moss]

No

[burnt moss]

Have you tried killing all the other demons before dealing with him?

[azure oriole]

Oh ya, that’s easy

[wary badger]

calm down yo 7 trillion nerves then checkpoint reload think about your mistakes in the arena, correct them.

[burnt moss]

Thanks! Now I just wanna quit though haha. Your playing is SO evasive/defensive. Like, if I had more patience I could probably beat this. But at what cost haha.

[burnt moss]

Also I get that it’s UN (right?)

[azure oriole]

Killing that Archvile earlier in the level brought infinite amounts of satisfaction hahaha.

[wary badger]

i just bfg that mf

[wary badger]

if it moves i will put a ice bomb on that mf and bfg it

[icy ice]

Yup, it's my first successful UN run of Mars Core ML. It took a few attempts and you'll see the markers at some places where I died lol

Mars core ML is fun though

[azure oriole]

That was a fun level

[wary badger]

i played mars core master leve un via using bloodshots video guide of mc ml un but my laptop crashed at the last fight

[icy ice]

You can skip past a few parts but I don't do any crazy ballista boosts or glitches or anything

[wary badger]

this was months ago

[icy ice]

Oof so sorry about that

[wary badger]

the ptsd gave me ptsd

[icy ice]

Yea it takes practice and patience but you can do it!

[wary badger]

i used this https://youtu.be/T_4C-DtdgQY

[icy ice]

The last arena I do at least like 20 laps around it just to avoid everything going on lmao

[burnt moss]

Oh I don’t know what the markers look like. I only watched the marauder arena tho

[icy ice]

You'll know once you do UN runs lmao

[wary badger]

my laptop is gonna be fixed soon at wednesday (if the fixing works) when its fix im gonna play long again in doom eternal

[icy ice]

I even accidentally used a crucible on a whiplash instead of a tyrant which almost ended my run 😭

[wary badger]

im in a mission where i im trying new missions which i neglected because im intimidated of those missions

but now its no longer intimidating (not urdak, urdak is still intimidating)

[burnt moss]

Well patience as in, playing somewhat defensively to make each attempt take longer.

[burnt moss]

Whoa he uses LOB on Revs weird

[azure oriole]

Feels like there isn’t a whole lot of Revenants in this game.

[icy ice]

Yea it's quick and easy lol

[icy ice]

Master levels would like a word

[wary badger]

Well revs are annoying sometimes

[icy ice]

Not to mention, multiple attempts over time. Sometimes you'll die at the 2nd arena, sometimes you'll die at the last one.

[azure oriole]

I’ve lost track of the demon types in this one

[burnt moss]

Well I’m not doing UN haha

[icy ice]

Even with a regular NM run for the first time it'll take a lot of attempts on the first time. The learning curve of doing a master level the first time is pretty steep imo

[burnt moss]

Well I’ve beaten all (base) MLs on all difficulties except MC and TN on Nightmare

[icy ice]

The harder ones for sure

[azure oriole]

Are the eternal MLs comparable in any way to the old Doom 2 ones?

[icy ice]

I wish I could tell ya, but I haven't played doom 2 yet 😬

[gilded wharf]

my UN runs usually die in cultist base

[azure oriole]

Me neither. I’ve only done the modern games, if you include 3.

[icy ice]

Mancubi are literal hell in that level. And if you don't save a triple chainsaw for the basement area you're almost screwed.

I played the first episode of Doom 1, and the first level of Doom 64 and Doom 3. I need to finish up the older ones.

[azure oriole]

I played 3 back in like 2005. I can’t remember a lot of it, so my current play through feels mostly like the first time.

[burnt moss]

Any idea why half of my PB shots come out as base fire? What am I screwing up about the timing?

[icy ice]

Might be rushing the shot, sometimes it does happen to me when I quick-swap too fast

[burnt moss]

But as soon as I press HC I’m supposed to instantly press MOD-Fire right?

[wary badger]

pretty hard for a modern fps player but you will get used to it

[burnt moss]

I managed to kill one marauder but then I died 😦

That’s enough for tonight

[azure oriole]

Damn Marauders

[gilded wharf]

agreed. believe it or not I actually got the basement 1st try this time, got lucky with the cueballs
however I then proceeded to die about 10 times in a row to the final arena.
I'm attempting the 'can't perfect perfection' achievement on nightmare and i'm seriously starting to regret my choice of ammo over health for my 1 sentinel crystal

[wary badger]

pretty fun demon to fight

[burnt moss]

Any luck with yours?

[brittle quest]

PB timing can be a bit odd if you're doing it too quick just after swapping to it (which I assume you aren't), so just space out your quick pb times by a millisecond or so, the input is a bit whimsical on a controller.

[azure oriole]

I’m gonna try again tomorrow

[wary badger]

armored mancubus are more annoying then marauders

[azure oriole]

Taras Nabad gave me a headache 😆

[wary badger]

its fun tho

[gilded wharf]

blood punch is the only thing that will destroy armored manc armor, right?

I usually just leave them until last so I can safely ice bomb + bp

[wary badger]

any damage can tear the armor off but slower

[burnt moss]

Since I mapped HC to a back paddle, I actually might be doing it too quick. Because all three inputs are super easy-access, I have to painstakingly press them in correct order.

[inner sage]

uwu

[brittle quest]

The armor doesn't exist, it's all visual. BP just deals enormous damage on it's own to mancs.

[wary badger]

i want a uwu slayer skin like the doomnicorn

[gilded wharf]

interesting, thanks!
i haven't played TAG yet so my first encounter with an armored baron was in horde, and I spent like 5 minutes circling around trying to explode its mace until I realized you can just damage it normally

blood maykrs though...

[inner sage]

may the gods hear your request

🙏🏻

[brittle quest]

Indeed, and it's pretty easy as well.

A full power yeet blast with a SSG opens him up instantaneously and can be comboed into a pswapped ssg lob, he's absolutely trivialised.

[gilded wharf]

punchswap SSG is disgusting

i'm pretty wary of getting in close since i've been trolled so many times by bug punch but max damage SSG blast is something to behold

[wary badger]

what ? cant punchswap ? skill issue.

[brittle quest]

You're as obnoxious as ever Void.

[wary badger]

i dont know the meaning

[gilded wharf]

I meant that it's very powerful.

I do use punchswap, actually

my favorite way to clear fodder

[wary badger]

okay also try pb headshots

veing or being i want to full name it

[gilded wharf]

headshot blast is good for clearing fodder, yeah

I usually delay HC mastery for a while so regular punchswap pb is my solution until then

[icy ice]

Good luck on that last part! And yea that annoying achievement shouldn't have been made imo, feels like busy work lol

[gilded wharf]

the slow dashes are killing me, I'm so used to having faster dasher that it's messing up my platforming

[icy ice]

That's the one I used. Everything else you can work around but dashing is essential for movement.

I also did it on ITYTD lmao

[gilded wharf]

I picked faster weapon swap because I feel like I rarely need as many dashes as faster dasher gives except when platforming

although I think armor is the best sentinel crystal choice, since it's so easy to fill with SSG

[brittle seal]

Just unlocked a secret reward in the fall mega event (it's a pair of nuclear launch codes)

[gloomy vapor]

but is blood punch actually reliable for anything?
since you don't have the option to save it, as it's used automatically when you melee
it's very unlikely to have it ready at any point

[wary badger]

send me them boi

[slow sigil]

Yeah but recharging BP is easy

And melee without BP is literally worthless

[wary badger]

i could launch it to ohio and florida and detroit to destroy it from reality

[gloomy vapor]

but doesn't it use it instead of glory kill, when full?
or do I just ""aim" that poorly?

[slow sigil]

Usually not, but sometimes it bugs out and doesnt glorykill but instead punches normally

Hi

[waxen field]

Trying them out now, so that I can do a little trolling 😈

[brittle seal]

We gotta start Hiroshima 2.0

[waxen field]

I was just going to push the rando button

[brittle seal]

Make sure your not touching the demon core or else we will have to find another flat head screwdriver

[waxen field]

What did a bit of turbocancer ever do to anyone

[brittle seal]

All it did was kill 1.6 million people

[waxen field]

Rookie numbers

[brittle seal]

Ikr

[bitter yarrow]

Not even. Just a lack of effort

[wary badger]

thanks

[brittle seal]

Like bro they need to get good if they want to do any better

[brittle seal]

Your welcome

Ik no one probably cares but good night

[bitter yarrow]

Frrrr. I have a dream where every American household has a demon core completely covered in beryllium

[bitter yarrow]

Gn. I just woke up

[gilded wharf]

blood punch always oneshots pinkies and spectres, even from the front, which can be useful if you're stuck in a tight spot and don't have ice bomb handy
it does a whopping amount of damage to cyber mancs and doom hunter sled
it always breaks energy shields
it also falters most enemies which can sometimes save you from melee attacks

jumping into melee range to blood punch for 1 rocket worth of damage is usually not a good idea, but there are situations where it's useful

[bitter yarrow]

Wait it does one shot pinkies

[slow sigil]

Yes

But so does a ssg shot to their tail so

[bitter yarrow]

Yeah but then I have to get behind them which is a hassle. And I always forget about ice bomb

[azure oriole]

Stun them with something, such examples are microwave beam, grenade launcher, etc.

[bitter yarrow]

I forget all of those

[azure oriole]

If I recall correctly, all you have to do to get behind them is meathook a pinky and propel yourself up and shoot its tail.

[bitter yarrow]

Yeah that's the main thing I do

[wary badger]

i managed to play doom eternal knowing its gonna sound like a lamborghini and shut down my laptop but i finished it when i glory killed the doom hunter (the one in doom hunter base mission) it shutted down on me, but still finished the boss fight

[quick grove]

[gilded wharf]

I liked stun bomb better. Meme beam feels so clunky to use

[strange gale]

that's crazy bro

[burnt moss]

I’ll watch it if you share.

[bitter yarrow]

I could never find a good use for it

All though I feel like stun bomb would just act as a second, worse freeze grenade in doom eternal

[bitter yarrow]

How do I get more makyr skins?

[flint flame]

That’s the neat part, you don’t

[azure forum]

For white Weapon skins, they basically released 4 astro and 4 maykr which makes no sense.

Astro:
HC
Plasma Riffle
Chaingun
BFG (default skin I think?)

Maykr:
SSG
Ballista
RL
Combat S

[burnt moss]

Bro you were shittalking the slayer for misbehaving 🤣

Hi!

[burnt moss]

I’ve noticed a significant delay between my PB shot and the stagger of the fodder I shot. Is that normal?

[bitter yarrow]

How do I get them. I just randomly had astro chain gun and makyr ballista

[sacred dirge]

[burnt moss]

So nothing is wrong? It’s not usually during animation

[bitter yarrow]

Its something with how the plasma shot deals damage I think

It does it differently then other weapons I'm pretty sure leading to it being weird

[sacred dirge]

I have a life from time to time

[valid wren]

Whats that

[burnt moss]

There’s two of those on Sentinel Prime actually

[flint flame]

Pb is not plasma

[bitter yarrow]

Oh mb my brain read it as pr

What does pb mean?

[burnt moss]

Precision Bolt mod

[azure oriole]

Unacceptable!

[burnt moss]

You’re not a true fan if you have a life

[dim pelican]

@azure oriole bro nice name

[burnt moss]

Makes me wonder if he’s a cylon

[bitter yarrow]

Aaaaah ok thanks

[dim pelican]

Is he one of the final five?

[azure oriole]

He clearly hasn’t made a genuine commitment to Doom

[burnt moss]

So true. Unfortunate; he showed so much promise 😞

[azure oriole]

We trusted him!

[burnt moss]

He was nothing but a usurper, a false idol

[lofty estuary]

our eyes have been opened

[gloomy vapor]

does secret collection / challenge progression revert when loading checkpoints?

[ember void]

no

u can cheese challenges easily by loading checkpoints lol

[icy ice]

The pinky glory kill challenge in SGN is a great example of this

[sacred dirge]

It's okay I've returned to you all

[azure oriole]

Happy Halloween everyone.

[dusk copper]

if i get another pc and i download doom eternal again and i sign into my account, will all my stuff still be saved

[azure oriole]

Thanks

Guys, I play doom eternal on my Ps4

But right now I don't have my controller. It's at my grandma's.

[dusk copper]

i would hate to lose my unm achievements and my level of 164 💀

[azure oriole]

So What do you guys do on Doom eternal when you're bored.

[dusk copper]

infinite arena mode

[burnt moss]

I don’t think so. Those details are stored locally, I expect

[dusk copper]

really???\

all my skins bro

[burnt moss]

Changing platforms loses your save files and milestones so I don’t think downloading it on a new PC would carry that data either

[dusk copper]

imma kms bro 😭

[gloomy vapor]

if you run it on Steam save is backup up to the cloud; you will have the save on any PC you log into
by "level" I guess you mean the Bethesda account's; which you will keep as long as you log into the same account

[dusk copper]

GOOD

😍 😍 😍

[gloomy vapor]

it's still a good idea to back up your saves; even if it seems redundant with cloud saves

[dusk copper]

how

[gloomy vapor]

you can use software like Drive or Dropbox to automatically backup certain folders

I keep wasting flame belch
I tend to "reload" simply by muscle memory

[wraith forge]

no halloween menu background this year? 😢

[gloomy vapor]

man, this game is absolutely unforgiving

[azure oriole]

Yup

[gloomy vapor]

OK, that's enough frustration for one day

it's gonna take a while to clear and a lot of self-control to avoid fuming
I fear it likely won't take much longer for me to drop the game; I'm having trouble getting myself to enjoy it
I want the satisfaction that comes with it but most of the time I just feel dread and helplessness

also, side thought: 1-ups feel quite pointless, being lost on checkpoint load

[undone pebble]

what difficulty are you plaing on? @gloomy vapor

[gloomy vapor]

HMP

[undone pebble]

what's that stand for

[azure oriole]

I’ve definitely found this game to be frustrating at times

Hurt Me Plenty

[undone pebble]

I think I'm playing on Ultra-violence?

Just got the super shotgun, which is super helpful XD

Cultist base is fun, the entire time I'm just losing my shit to the soundtrack

[gloomy vapor]

I'm still at mission 3 but I'm having even more issues I was having with mission 2
but this makes perfect sense, because the big battle in mission 3 is full of heavyweights
it finally seemed like I was doing great, in the last failed run before I quit
but even then I can't acquire enough ammo to survive for long enough to clear it
and it keeps throwing big baddies at you and very few weaklings so even replenishing armor and hp is precariously hard once you get all the items from the arena

[undone pebble]

Are you just doing the campaign?

1. don't stop moving

2. Find the best combos of weapons for the bigger demons

[azure oriole]

I thought the first 3 levels were awful

[undone pebble]

3. Take full advantage of chainsaw kills and glory kills

[gloomy vapor]

can hardly use in there
it's mostly just big enemies, so I can't use the chainsaw on them

[undone pebble]

Ah, movement is key

That's definitely the biggest thing

Usually what happens with me in a new area is all get as far as I can and just take note of the area I'm in and what demons spawn in and where.

[gloomy vapor]

I was trying to do that too but this place spawns so many I can't keep track

[undone pebble]

I was stuck on part of cultist base for the past 2 days because it's hard AF on ultra violence

[sacred dirge]

Yeah there ways to get pretty op in 2016. I actually like to get over powered in games time to time

[undone pebble]

The thing I really like about Eternal is how everytime you start to get a little overpowered, the game goes 'lol"

[sacred dirge]

Oh definitely. And it isn't just they're purple now and have 4 times health enjoy

[inner sage]

uwu

[gloomy vapor]

it's kinda ironic how DOOM 2016 is the kind of game you play when you get frustrated with DOOM Eternal

alright, gonna give this one more go
ragequit incoming...

[burnt moss]

I don’t think that’s true

[burnt moss]

So much this!

[gloomy vapor]

ah, love it when the weapon auto-swaps to the rocket launcher and it kills you
gonna turn off the setting...

this last run I was able to survive for longer, but I didn't even beat half of the enemies
I'm having a lot of trouble with the basics
I can't use chainsaw against anything, even at full fuel, and flame belch and grenade are always on cooldown, somehow
I struggle specially with the hell knights and whiplashes
they take all my ammo and hp away

not that one

with how little rocket ammo can be carried it felt like a waste

[quick grove]

with whiplashes i find that the best thing for them is pb+ballista+pb

[gloomy vapor]

also, I'm pretty sure resetting the level wouldn't actually let me choose again

[quick grove]

wait are you doing UN?

[gloomy vapor]

I'm quite positive that's already been written into the save

[burnt moss]

I can’t aim at Whiplashes

[quick grove]

skill issue use the ice grenade

honestly, in cultist base you should spam the shit out of pb+rocket

[gloomy vapor]

grenade just freezes for one hit
which doesn't really help much

[quick grove]

wdym "one hit"

[gloomy vapor]

sticky, precision, beam and remote

[gloomy vapor]

I freeze them, I shot them once and they're moving already

[sacred dirge]

That's why freezing is good to start a swap combo and falter

[quick grove]

uh you should be able to get like 3-5 hits in depending on what you use

ice bomb+grenade+flame belch+(ssg+ballista or pb+rocket or ssg+pb or whatever the hell)

[gloomy vapor]

wait, grenade types don't share a cooldown?

[quick grove]

ive actually found a few cases where ssg+rocket is viable

[azure forum]

Lock on is 90% viable without anything else anyways. Just pure oonga boonga

[quick grove]

generally best 2-weapon quickswitches:

1. ssg+pb
2. pb+rocket
3. ssg+ballista
4. ballista+pb
5. ballista+rocket
6. ssg+rocket

[quick grove]

eh

waste of ammo. i rarely ever use it.

[azure forum]

Waste of ammo? So remote det is better then? 😂

[quick grove]

nah remote det sucks ass

i just dont see the point in putting 3 rockets into something quickly. like i guess its good, but id much rather just do pb+rocket or ssg+rocket

[azure forum]

Good? Nah, it's actually pretty OP

[quick grove]

ssg+rocket is good in the case where you wanna move close and far quickly, found it really useful

[quick grove]

until you learn like any quickswitch combo

[azure forum]

Ammp isn't an issue in this game. 30 PB shots, 12 SSG, 10 ballista, and 13 rockets

[quick grove]

then its mediocre

[quick grove]

still though, spreading out your ammo usage is much more effective

[azure forum]

Dude lock on is probably one of the mods that doesn't need any combo to go oonga boonga with it

[quick grove]

yeah idk how to do it isnt it like pb+lock on?

[azure forum]

Explain to me how to use it more effective please

[quick grove]

pb+rocket. lets you hit weak points better, spread out your ammo usage, and has about the same damage output for the time frame

[azure forum]

Pb ballista is better for weak points if anything

[quick grove]

im not saying thats what you would use for weak points im saying its just better than lock on

yeah something like that. or for hitting close + far targets. imo its pretty good because it ties in with how you should keep moving

[azure forum]

So, let's do math, 1 single lock on burst does 2700 damage I think, PB rocket does about 1200 if I am correct, you still need to fire around 2 cycles of Pb rockets to deal 2400 damage or 3 to deal 3600 damage. 2 uses 12 heavy cannon ammo and 2 rockers and 3 use 18 HC ammo and 3 rockets anyways

OK, thanks Asiju. So 4 shots to deal less than 3 rocket anyways using 2 PB rocket cycle

They travel at the same speed too I'm pretty sure anyways, so you only thing 2 PB shots faster if anything

[quick grove]

in the time that you can lock on, you can probably get in like a bit over 2 cycles (so yeah a little less dps), plus you spread out ammo usage, plus you have the benefit of having a high-accuracy shot along with high splash damage shots

[azure forum]

lock on is more accurate if anything

[quick grove]

i mean high accuracy as in you can target weak points

[azure forum]

So using 4 shots is more efficient than 3

[quick grove]

also lock on only hits one target, pb+rocket has the benefit of more choice in where the rockets go

which has downsides but also upsides

[quick grove]

12 ammo of one type and 2 of another

spreading out ammo. the game usually doesnt just give you a bunch of a specific ammo type

[azure forum]

Pb uses 6 per shot

[quick grove]

... to attack multiple thing at the same time?

idk i guess thats just my playstyle

[azure forum]

OK, all scenarios are different, but saying lock on is not ammo efficient i think is wrong. If your playstyle is about pb rockets then that's on you

[quick grove]

thats on me for more efficient gameplay

[azure forum]

Like if hitting multiple demons, let's say, using rockets to hit multiple fodder isn't efficient, you can use stickies, multiple heavies, you can use Dblade, etc.

The problem is, your gameplay isn't efficient son 😂

But you do you

[quick grove]

...he says, never once seeing anything about my gameplay

yeah ive died from it a few times but its pretty funny and it can be fun

[azure forum]

I don't need to, as long as you enjoy the game, you do you sir. Not trying to Start an endless argument. At the end ripping and tearing is what matters

[quick grove]

umm actually 😡😡😡 you insulted my gameplay!!!!!!! im legally entitled to argue with you for hours upon end with no real reason

[azure forum]

As long as we both agree that Full auto sucks, then we good

[quick grove]

eh, moving around kinda makes other enemies the closest enemy anyway

[quick grove]

its not the worst thing in the world. i would put heat blast, micro missiles, and remote det below it

but yeah its kinda bad except for stone impts

sometimes i use it to finish off fodder, as a shot to the head will kill them and give ammo back

no

[azure forum]

Mobile turret if anything. Where's Bloodshot these days? 😂

[upper sky]

True I was gonna say

Micro missiles is decent

[azure oriole]

Ive actually found pb sticky a good quickswap combo tbh, its good midrange and especially damaging if you get critical hits with the sticky bomb

[burnt moss]

It is most efficient to eliminate threats as quickly as possible. Spreading out your damage increases the amount of time you have to deal with maximum enemy threat.

[quick grove]

depends on the context

[burnt moss]

Weak points are an exception, as is faltering.

[sacred dirge]

Best

Absolutely then quick swap to FA for the finisher

[icy ice]

Micro missiles are a godsend for possessed demons

[gilded wharf]

try rebinding flame belch to something else. I have it on mouse wheel so I can use it in any situation, even while switching weapons

[gilded wharf]

I like pb->sb too. You can fire sticky bombs even faster if you punch between shots (but only if you hold weapon mod after swapping from pb)

[gloomy vapor]

now that you mention it, I actually haven't been doing that recently
by the way, I just restarted the level to get the lock-on mod and I cleared the arena in the first try... didn't even spend any of the extra lives
the lock-on mod is a godsend

[icy ice]

You will rely on that a lot as you go forward.

[gloomy vapor]

no, I meant I haven't been mistaking it
I am using the flame belch; but now on purpose

[gilded wharf]

you mean cultist base?

that arena with 3 mancs and a bunch of gargoyles is a run ender for sure

[gloomy vapor]

I don't know if there are more arenas
quite possible, much to my dismay
this was the first one and there's still half a level left

[gilded wharf]

maybe doom hunter base then, is it the one arena where you're introduced to the pinky?

[azure oriole]

Don't forget the pit.

[gilded wharf]

aka whiff the cueballs and you're toast

[gloomy vapor]

in this one there were several mancubi, an arachnotron, a hell knight and three whiplashes
I might be missing some cause I really don't have that good of a memory

[coral cradle]

guys whats with all the expantions things on steam that you can buy?

[gilded wharf]

sounds like the big arena before you get the SSG in cultist base, which is about halfway through the level, yeah

[undone pebble]

I just got past this part on Ultra Violence, it was a trip XD

[gilded wharf]

It's a pretty tricky arena. The ceiling mines have killed me more than once

[undone pebble]

The arena before that one almost broke me

The small arena with the swingy bars

[upper sky]

Lmaoo true

[gloomy vapor]

how careful do I need to be with suit upgrades?
there's so many I can't make up my mind

[icy ice]

Fast dash should be one of the first upgrades you get, along with faster weapon swapping

Don't worry about the map and exploration ones, as you can probably roam around and find everything if you really wanted to

Don't do the toxic suit upgrade until SGN.

[gloomy vapor]

that's one of the ones I was considering
one of the things I think actually improved my survivability is moving in 3d rather than 2d
before I was simply walking in circles; now I actually jump and dash
I think the enemies in this game are actually better at dodging than me, for now 😅

[icy ice]

You'll get the hang of it soon enough

[gloomy vapor]

I won't be counting on it to be soon
I'm quite slow at games and I never really quite "get there"

[quick grove]

do you know how to quick switch

basic quick switching is really easy to learn

[sacred dirge]

We all start someplace. You'll be fine

[azure oriole]

Word

[sacred dirge]

Yee

[gloomy vapor]

do slayer challenges count as secret?
cause I'm pretty sure it didn't count in mission 2 but I'm missing one secret marker on mission 3

[hushed garden]

they're separate

[gloomy vapor]

how sure are you? cause I have the secret marker skill and the only remaining marked "secret" is the slayer door

[hushed garden]

the slayer gate isn't part of the three mission challenges iirc

[gloomy vapor]

no, I meant to ask if the slayer gate counts as "secret"
I didn't mean "challenge" as in mission challenge

[hushed garden]

oh then yeah it does

[gloomy vapor]

but then why didn't it on mission 2? cause I got all secrets there and I doubt simply entering the door unlocks the secret

[hushed garden]

did you find the slayer key too

[gloomy vapor]

yes; and I unlocked, entered and, inevitable, failed the challenge
and it still doesn't count

maybe I'm missing one two in mission 2 and I just didn't notice; I don't know

oh, yeah; I'm missing that one too
mission 1 is the only one where I "found" all secrets

[rotund mural]

Ultra Nightmare is Fun

If they’re is any more Future Doom Games they’re has to be another difficulty higher then Ultra Nightmare

[burnt moss]

The criteria for the “secret” is completing the slayer gate and PICKING UP THE EMPYREAN KEY THAT SPAWNS AFTER.

Although “secret” is not a significant term in Doom Eternal

[pearl fox]

The mission Paladi agents are buged?

Or what

[azure oriole]

its kind of an odd timing, its a little slower that pb rocket but i like it

i usually do pb sb in a burst of two cycles since im not good enough to do it for a while

[ruby solar]

I just realized you can pre-select weapon mods for each weapon on the weapon wheel before actually taking them out. that's cool

Also swinging around using the meathook and unleashing a full-auto frenzy just feels SO BADASS

[flint flame]

The key counts as a secret, but the key only unlocks as a secret after you beat the slayer gate

Oh nvm doomy got it

[sacred dirge]

Do you

[wary badger]

hello the doom 3 lover sir.

[sacred dirge]

Hello there

[burnt moss]

Back to the grind

[gilded wharf]

same i'm still learning

[icy ice]

Mars Core?

Also, fitting playing doom on Halloween. Happy Halloween fellow Doomers

[burnt moss]

I beat the marauder arena! @azure oriole thanks for BFG tip!

[icy ice]

Good luck with that buff totem next 🔥

[burnt moss]

the wut

[icy ice]

Oh wait you have a few more small areas first

[burnt moss]

I punched it and just left hahaha

[icy ice]

I literally had to use a saving throw at that point. Buffed Mancubi are fucking deadly lmao

[burnt moss]

Big open Doom Hunter arena is my stopping point for now. Maybe I’ll continue after wifey goes to bed

[tepid wasp]

which marauder arena

scrolling up implies it's the Buffed Marauder area of the blood swamp

[burnt moss]

Ok I’m gonna save the final arena for tomorrow. Haven’t even tried once yet. I’ll spend a week or so on it before I start asking for help

[burnt moss]

Haha no

[burnt moss]

MC ML

[tepid wasp]

Oh, I gotcha

yeah that should be the only apperance of them in that level.

[wary badger]

marauder is easy

[burnt moss]

Ok

[calm oyster]

imagine the super shotgun had weapon mods that werent just meathook

weapon mod that adds a THIRD barrel for EXTRA murder capabilitie zx

[inland widget]

I still hate Archviles

[calm oyster]

any idea for an alternative weapon mod for super shotgun because i like thinking about it

[inland widget]

If you can falter them before they overwhelm you its good

The Doom Hunters are pretty easy imo. Just break the shield with the Plasma Rifle and cycle to SSG or Heavy Cannon with Mini Missiles if you have the Mastery

Haha mini missul go brrrrr

[calm oyster]

thatd just make meathook mastery useless tho

[inland widget]

Hmmge. I should try that

Gladiator though is monkaS

I used the Ballista for the first stage and a Rocket Launcher / SSG combo for the second stage

[calm oyster]

fair

i like thinking of possible other weapon mods for the weapons :3 even tho i havent really come up with any but i think itd be interesting to. i think i will try to come up with some

[inland widget]

Out of all the bosses though, imo he has the best introduction and theme

The Khan Maykr though.. ugh

[dense summit]

They really were better in 2016

Tyrant was such an annoying enemy

[inland widget]

I havent played 2016 so I can't comment, but from looking at the gameplay it certainly looked intense

[calm oyster]

i dont get why people hate marauders so much theyre so fun to fight

[inland widget]

Marauders are the one enemy in the game that I do actually like because they offer a real challenge

[wary badger]

destroyer blade > arbalest

[slow sigil]

They're buggy and boring

[inland widget]

I prefer the Destroyer blade under most circumstances but thats only really if I can get a full charge off

[calm oyster]

i mean you do you but i think everyone who hates the marauders just needs to get gud :trolled:

[slow sigil]

I mean it's a stoplight with no variation

You can hardly mix them with other enemues cause friendly fire triggers their shield, which can also make them canxel their attack mid-attack for since reason....

[calm oyster]

they dont really stop much for me in fact i prefer to Go around them and kill everything else before them just so i cant be distratced by any of the other cringelets

[inland widget]

Its a lot of jockeying

As I found it

[slow sigil]

I mean if it's JUST the marauder it is a waiting game

[calm oyster]

doom eternal players when they cant stand 1 second without a dopamine hit

[slow sigil]

I mean even without he'll still be eh

Also, being too good also fucks you over

[inland widget]

Meanwhile in The Ancient Gods: Yo we heard you liked the Marauder so hey fight two of them at the same time

tfw you can't afford the DLCs

[calm oyster]

the only really annoying enemies to me are the whiplashes

[slow sigil]

If you hit a marauder in the first frame, maybe first 2, he plays the green eyes vfx and glows green yet STILL blocks your shot

[slow sigil]

They're squishy

[slow sigil]

I know a spot there where you can instakill both of them with 1 bfg
Funny af

[calm oyster]

they used to be absolutely fucking impossible for me when i first started but now im a little better still every time i see them i get a little anxious

[slow sigil]

Cyber mancubi are fun

[inland widget]

Blood Punch and them rattle em with the Chaingun

[slow sigil]

Have BP available or else they tankie, that's not bad

[inland widget]

Cyber Mancubi are irritating to fight because of the acid pools they drop

[slow sigil]

Just jump bro 🧠

[calm oyster]

bro just shoot them until they die 🧠

[inland widget]

4head

But in all seriousness yeah I just run around like an idiot anyways

[burnt moss]

Inconsistency, and they kill momentum

[gilded wharf]

same reason people hate blood maykrs, they force you to play at their pace and are difficult to deal with until you clear the rest of the arena

[slow sigil]

Bmaykrs atleast actually arent that difficult to deal with with the rest of the arena

They're even kinda designed around being in the arena

[calm oyster]

how to deal wit h enemies: Jump aroudn them

[inland widget]

How do you kill a Blood Maykr anyways?

[slow sigil]

Headshot them

[gilded wharf]

Yeah, blood maykrs are more about testing the player's aim

[slow sigil]

With pb, bal, or sticky

[inland widget]

Oh so like the Maykr drones, got it

[slow sigil]

And reaction if you don't just keep your crosshair on them

[calm oyster]

r u thinking about maykr drones or the other thing because blood maykrs have shields up until their attacks

you cant reallyt headsho them until they're attacking

[inland widget]

Maykr drones you can instakill with the Sniper Mod for the Heavy Cannon

[slow sigil]

Well yeah but still counts

[gilded wharf]

blood maykrs have like 8000hp if you don't go for the headshot gib

[slow sigil]

Yeh cause you're supposed to go for the head

[gilded wharf]

I like the loot pinata effect from headshotting drones/blood maykrs. Very satisfying when you hit the flickshot

[inland widget]

Or the quickscope

[slow sigil]

True, plus they aren't so distgustingly OP as makyr drones with the resources

[inland widget]

Bonus points with Mastery for knocking out anyone with the poor guy

I love the Headshot explosions, so satisfying

[gilded wharf]

yeah, fully refilling health and ammo from a single drone is overkill. the player is already incentivized to headshot them just by virtue of it being the fastest way to eliminate them

i'd argue they actually make fights easier just by existing

[inland widget]

Interesting

[wary badger]

if i could make a map for doom eternal, i would make it so hard even pros cant beat it.

[slow sigil]

Sounds bad

[azure oriole]

I'd want to see it released and the pros can still beat it.

[wary badger]

wdym

[azure oriole]

I meant like, you say it's impossible, now imagine if the pros beat it.

[wary badger]

then put a harder wave

where every demon is spirited

[azure oriole]

What do you think you'll include if you can create a map?

[azure oriole]

No more chainsaw

[wary badger]

no chainsaw but infinite ammo drops in the map

and some kind of a hub

where they can see there high scores and deaths

i want it to be like horde mode but harder

and spirit marauders will be a common norm

and custom demons

[azure oriole]

Simply just buffstack every demons, smh.

[wary badger]

from the circles of hell

[azure oriole]

Especially the Archviles.

[wary badger]

and cyber archviles that has a 45% resistance to everything except to the unmaykr

the unmaykr gets a 55% boost

to show how fever dream the map could be

[azure oriole]

Try placing restrictions on the game, such as disabling the BFG and Energy Shield.

[wary badger]

well the shield in the map is nerfed to the point that its useless and the bfg takes 32 seconds just to charge up a shot

and brawler mode exist in the map

and the dblade is buffed for speed and damage, and the arbalest is nerfed a little

[azure oriole]

What about Lock on Burst?

[wary badger]

nerfed alot

[azure oriole]

Which mod do you like to see improved?

[wary badger]

the neglected ones

[azure oriole]

Would you consider Microwave Beam?

[wary badger]

plasma beam. destroyer blade. remote detonate. and full auto.

[azure oriole]

What about Micro Missiles, Mobile Turret?

[wary badger]

pretty popular for combos so no

[slow sigil]

Dblade get's buffed in speed AND damage???? Hot damn that's crazy

[wary badger]

yes

yes

[slow sigil]

Dblade already is nearly OP it doesnt need more

[wary badger]

im making this a fever dream

eternal fever dream

because i want to.

[slow sigil]

Yeah arbalest is just a much weaker, slightly faster dblade

Imagine just dblading everything, and punchcancelling to reset the cooldown instantly inbetween shots lol

So is dblade
Also bonus damage go caco's is eh, caco's already have not too much hp
And you can combo pe's faster then swapping to arb>arb twice>swap pack to dblade

Also, dblade is arguably better for groups of caco's

[neat sentinel]

are the dlcs for eternal also on gamepass? it says i can pay 19.99 or gamepass, if i open it with gamepass it opens the game and in the game when i go to the dlcs it takes me to the microsoft store

[vocal trail]

[quick grove]

I don’t think they are

Mayker drones make any arena a lot easier

I am in love with the mayker drone headshot sound

[naive gate]

is there a way to get unlimited crucible ammo on ps4 ? The infinite ammo cheat does not apply for this unfortunately

[bitter yarrow]

They are cheaper with gamepass

[neat sentinel]

oh ok thanks

[bitter yarrow]

np

I had the same question

[brittle quest]

No, there isn't. There isn't even one on vanilla PC, you have to enter console commands.

[sacred dirge]

And satisfying

[jolly kernel]

Prowlers are literally the nuDoom versions of Wraiths from Doom 3

a variant of the imp that can be easily killed and teleports around, though the Prowler can shoot

[midnight sparrow]

Prowlers are closer to Nightmare Imps from Doom 64 honestly

[jolly kernel]

actually yeah, the only similarities between Wraiths and Prowlers is that they can teleport

while Prowlers and Nightmare Imps have similar designs and are basically stronger variants of normal Imps

[copper night]

It used to be infinite with the cheat, they patched it out

[slow sigil]

Rather "accidently changed it/bugged out and never bothered fixing it"

[naive gate]

exactly

[copper night]

Classic doom moment

[jolly hazel]

gonna kms if i see a pinky demon again

[sacred dirge]

[flint flame]

[burnt moss]

For your own health, I recommend not playing master levels then

[jolly hazel]

[azure oriole]

Especially World Spear ML.

[solar field]

Don't play doom 2 then

[wise obsidian]

Why? Pain?

[burnt moss]

Because he’ll see pinkies and kill himself

[wise obsidian]

Oh

[azure oriole]

Geoffreyplaysguitar knows music, holy shit have you heard his masterpieces? he doomifies all types of songs from diffrent games

[midnight sparrow]

According to the lore I think they actually are related to Imps as well

[azure oriole]

He did skyrim theme, Bloodborne Ludwigs theme, hell, he even did kirby!

[midnight sparrow]

His Halo one is my favorite

[azure oriole]

havent heard that one actually

[midnight sparrow]

It’s pretty nice

[primal acorn]

Ehe

I played this game in VR

[grand depot]

i just beat super gore nest master level for the first time

[gilded wharf]

gratz

one of my favorite levels, especially on classic mode

[grand depot]

its very good

[upper sky]

Pinky's are great wym

They're like one of my favourites

On the other hand, Cacodemons 😭

[scenic egret]

So i got the arch vile Skin from level 15 but i never got a Skin, only the previous rewards (Slayer Skin, Plasma Rifle Skin etc)

Do i need to keep leveling up to get the rest of It?

[burnt moss]

That final arena makes me question my life choices

[azure oriole]

Ahh finally beat Taras Nabad

[sacred dirge]

Nat bad

[azure oriole]

3 levels left 👀

[azure oriole]

Uh oh. No coming back to fortress until it’s over!

[burnt moss]

4

[azure oriole]

That’s true. Isn’t Nekravol or whatever actually two levels?

[grand depot]

yes

nekravol has 2 parts if i remember correctly, i entered part 1 with 15 extra lives and actually died in part 2 when i beat it for the first time in nightmare

[spice prism]

yo someone rate my doomguy edit in #videos

[neon root]

doomacorn

i need it

i would like to murder in fashion

[gilded wharf]

nekravol pt 1 is kicking my ass rn on ultra nightmare, so many cyber mancs

[neon root]

And with this i will be amazing

[gilded wharf]

I keep dying trying to charge up a big destroyer blade for the hallway fights

[burnt moss]

Then ice bomb PB Rocket instead

[neon root]

how do you get the doomacorn on this

[azure oriole]

I bought it on the Xbox store

[neon root]

i can do that but im not cuz i want it for free and i was told to get on dooms discord

so im confused

[burnt moss]

Some skins can be earned during events, or by pre-ordering the game etc. Other than that you have to buy them.

[neon root]

i was told by a ton of people too go on the doom discord

[azure oriole]

Unicorn was part of an old twitch event

[neon root]

but was never told how too claim it

can i still get it on twich?

cuz i have twitch but have not used it much

[gilded wharf]

my pb rocket timing is terrible

[neon root]

i dont think i can

anyone know

[azure oriole]

Not that I could find

[bitter yarrow]

made it to urdak

so far have missed only one secret

[neon root]

thats fine i will just buy it when i get the chance

[gilded wharf]

urdak is my favorite level, the music and art direction are just perfect

[sacred dirge]

You got this

[bitter yarrow]

the mom made my costume skin is great in the cutscenes. also the icon of sin is so fucking cool

hey i just lost 60 bfg ammo on death. is this a bug or intentional because i really wanted to use that

[gilded wharf]

i think you lose some ammo from continuing on death

[bitter yarrow]

really? shit

[azure oriole]

Pretty sure that's false

Question. Just beat the campaign and dlc, did a tiny bit of horde mode, and my event progress is 49/49 (or whatever the highest rank is) is there any point in continuing to play right now or do I wait until event progress resets and start in on the master levels and single life playthrough?

[gilded wharf]

possibly, it just seems like it sometimes

[noble forge]

[azure oriole]

Event progress shouldn't dictate whether or not you should play. It won't make much difference so just do it now I guess

[azure oriole]

I'd rather do it when I can unlock some cool aesthetics at the same time. Better use of my time

Strange but whatever. I think they're running out of events to rerun pretty soon anyway

[burnt moss]

MC ML NM Complete!

[azure oriole]

Yeah buddy

[burnt moss]

Final arena only took like 5-10 tries. Used all supers and finished the level with almost all my ammo depleted. Tyrants near the portal didn’t stand a chance because I dbladed the heck out of one of them from a mile away.

[icy ice]

Congrats! You gonna do an UN run?

[icy ice]

The final arena is probably the most fun of the entire level

[burnt moss]

True. It’s so excessive though.

[burnt moss]

I barely survived beating it once hahaha. No, I’m not doing UN.

[azure oriole]

Is anyone on?

I can’t find a battle mode match

[gloomy vapor]

waiting for chainsaw to recharge
wait, it recharges?
since it still has ammo pickups, like any other weapon, that's quite unexpected

[slow sigil]

Yeah but you kinda need chainsaw for your other weapons

[sharp plaza]

Hi, then I have a problem with Doom Eternal. I am on Steam and when I launch the game I get an error message: unable to list the graphics devices. Can you help me ?

[scenic egret]

when i first played on nightmare i actually found part 2 decently easy even with the Arch vile trap on the Arena and the Marauder

But because i play on switch and i suck i died a couple of times on the beggining because of the cacos on the platforming section to acces the first arena because i have no awareness.

[dusky cloak]

is ancient gods part one/two part of xbox game pass?

[unkempt mason]

Yes, you can get them separately like.

[brittle quest]

Last I played, no. You have to separately buy them.

[dusky cloak]

I see, thanks

[timber dove]

I miss doom, we need a new one

[burnt moss]

Definitely not. You have to buy them.

[midnight sparrow]

Quake 1 reboot first then a new Doom game

[jolly kernel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/268611754043375616/1037054909616504883/6z4ic9.jpg

[burnt moss]

I’m not even done with the last one

[burnt moss]

Why

Hola

[lofty estuary]

so doom slayer took the bfg 9000 (the big gun) from the bfg 10000 (the even bigger gun), does that mean the even bigger gun is now the bfg 1000?

is the number at the end of bfg meant for size or power?

[midnight sparrow]

More like it’s model version

That’s how I always thought of it as

[fallow nebula]

TAG 1 it's good?

[burnt moss]

I thought the BFG 10000 was just the 9k with a giant amplifier.

[sullen depot]

The best

[fallow nebula]

Better than tag2

?

[sacred dirge]

Yes

[fallow nebula]

Should I buy it?

[burnt moss]

Yes

[fallow nebula]

I'm going to see how much is

Lol the pack isn't available

[flint flame]

because

[flint flame]

Hey Keqing, how’s school?

[full tinsel]

do rockets still go boom?

[flint flame]

I think so

[sacred dirge]

No nerfed

They splash now

[jaunty vapor]

Only if you PB them first

[full tinsel]

my man spittin fax

[azure oriole]

I love the rock luncher

[midnight sparrow]

Ironic that it’s “less likely to kill the user” coming from Doom 3

[trail haven]

How powerful are the BFGs in the lore

[midnight sparrow]

As powerful as they are in game

2016 explains in detail how the BFG tracers kill there targets it’s pretty brutal

[sacred dirge]

Boiled fat

[burnt moss]

Don’t talk about my mother that way

[sacred dirge]

Hahahaah noice

[grave valley]

So if the crucible Can sliced through any demon and the marauder's ax is made of the same material as the crucible how does the slayer Not die instantly

[magic marsh]

Cuz they made of different demon material

One is made of something that can kill anything, the other is a lot crappier

[sacred pagoda]

one is the wish version

[grave valley]

Uh..... Makes sense

[azure oriole]

Because the video game has to happen

[bitter yarrow]

doom guy is basically just a god

also you dont get hit but the actual marauder's axe

you get hit by some kind of laser, when you get close they use a shotgun

[compact oak]

Cause the slayers armor is practically indestructible

[bitter yarrow]

actually if i remember

the dude who empowered doom guy via the divinity machine was of a race more powerful than the makyrs

since the crucible was made by the makyrs (or the sentinels i dont care that much about lore) it would be logical to assume their technology would be less powerful than the higher race's tech

[patent stream]

The seraphim

You see them at the end

[sacred dirge]

Aside from the armor and his God machine strength his body is also protected by a argent field.

[flint flame]

Not really

[flint flame]

The energy is maykr energy, being utilized by the sentinels (sentinel energy).

Seeing as crucible type weapons require charging, I’d imagine the marauders axe doesn’t OHKO the slayer because it isn’t fully charged

[bitter yarrow]

i thought it was argent energy

im still going with the "your not being hit by the actual axe" theory

[flint flame]

Why would the marauder, intent on killing you, not try to kill you

[azure oriole]

What happens if you play eternal, but skip out on tag? Does the story still make sense?

[flint flame]

Eternal has an ending, you can leave it at that ending

[azure oriole]

I was just curious. Sometimes dlcs are….eh

I’m definitely planning to play tag though

[bitter yarrow]

wait im stupid i forgot they do hit you with the actual axe. just a skill issue i guess

wait am i allowed to say the f word. the rules are against swearing (i think) but also its a server for doom

[azure oriole]

Vega controls all

[bitter yarrow]

soooooooo if vega doesnt block it its ok?

[azure oriole]

Vega will let you know right away if it’s not acceptable

Otherwise, rip and tear

[bitter yarrow]

ok thanks

i thought that was kind of stupid but didnt want to risk getting banned

[flint flame]

Who cares if it’s a mature game, can’t say derogatory words

[bitter yarrow]

ik derogatory and shit

[azure oriole]

Vega has a special dickhead detector

[bitter yarrow]

thank you vega

[grave valley]

[burnt moss]

Considering starting TN ML tonight

Well this sucks

[azure oriole]

Do it dude

[burnt moss]

Stupid pain elementals keep killing me

[azure oriole]

I’m gonna continue on to Nekravol tomorrow. Took a day off.

[burnt moss]

Stuck at the pool arena for now. I wonder if using a super would make sense, but I wouldn’t do that at the expense of the coin room or Archie room

[brittle quest]

There's bfg ammo in multiple arenas after that, so you should be free to use it.

[burnt moss]

Enough that I can have one for the Coin room, one for Archie room, and maybe two for the final arena?

[brittle quest]

Why would you waste two on the final arena?

It's trivial in comparison to the former two, one is enough to take out the marauders if you're struggling with them

[burnt moss]

How can you take out two marauders with one BFG?

[burnt moss]

The final arena is the longest most draining arena, and it’s where I quit last time.

[brittle quest]

You fire above and away from the marauders, it kills one outright and usually weakens the second to a simple ssg-bal

[brittle quest]

That it is, but the pool arena is also a long and draining arena. Using a bfg here would be equivalent to using it there.

[burnt moss]

I almost finished the arena tonight so I don’t want to cave and use BFG. BUT I’m considering backing off and playing it on UV a few times for practice.

[burnt moss]

I thought their shields always block it?

[brittle quest]

Only if you're looking at them while you BFG. If you don't have them in your line of sight, they don't.

[burnt moss]

What do they do then?

[midnight sparrow]

The Praetor Suit was enchanted to be almost impenetrable so that’s probably the reason

[brittle quest]

Eat the damage while running towards you? It's rather self explanatory.

[burnt moss]

Well it’s not really straightforward because what you’re describing breaks the Marauder’s rules. They generally put up a shield in response to any and all damage, and the idea that they only ignore the BFG damage because you aren’t observing them is wacky.

[brittle quest]

Marauders have generally wacky AI that's quite focused around what the player is looking at and even where their reticle points. To cite an example, they avoid reticles, and generally treat it as a vertical divider to which they stay on one side of.

[burnt moss]

Yeah I was clueless about that. Where should I put my reticle to get him to attack me?

[brittle quest]

I meant it in the situation of when the marauder charges at you (ie if he's to the right of your reticle, he'll only run to right and you can control him by slow moving your reticle right). Why they just stand and stare at you while throwing axes is a mystery to me, probably a dev interaction to make them less unpredictable.

[burnt moss]

Oh so right before the eye flash I can keep him to my left or right?

[brittle quest]

It'd be hard to do in an actual combat scenario with mutliple factors other than the marauder being present, but sure.

[gilded wharf]

are there consistent rules that dictate how many fodder demons can spawn in an arena? sometimes it seems like there's a point where imps and gargoyles stop spawning and you only get jerrys to chainsaw, other times it seems like they spawn endlessly until all heavy demons are slain

i'm getting demolished by the archie arena in final sin because of all the gargoyles but it doesn't seem like it's worth it to try and clear them out
