doom-eternal

[chrome wren]

like "ooo lets just make this imp require a rarely used weapon mod" or "give this baron armor" or "give this whiplash invisibility"

i think the spirit was at least a little more creative than armored barons

but they turned out to be a pain in the ass

there were also those enemies that showed up at the end of TAG2, and blood maykrs from TAG1

each dlc introduced like 3 new enemies and 1 boss

[young mango]

The blood maykr, and turret are probably the only original enemies

[chrome wren]

forgot about the turret entirely

they're pretty weird and very easily forgettable

[lavish oracle]

True

[chrome wren]

actually i just remembered riot soldiers or chaingunners

so 4 new enemies and 1 new boss for each dlc

and like 6 of the new 8 regular enemies were modified pre-existing enemies from past games or already existing doom eternal enemies with a modifier slapped on

i forgot about maligog as well

8 regular enemies and 3 bosses

[lavish oracle]

That’s ok, I like when he comes to the hells and the heavy cavalry show up

Which boss was the hardest to kill?

I think that the icon of sins was the worst

[chrome wren]

found samur the hardest to kill but ive played the DLC on UV and kind of was sick of the dlc at that point

the spirit enemies that show up can fuck themselves though

[lavish oracle]

But because the demons around you was really a pain in the ass

[chrome wren]

The DLCs feel like a lot of wasted potential tbh

I was going to say something about the scuba parts of TAG1 being underused but I realize it’s literally just a reskin of the rad suit

Like 80% of the dlcs are just remixed stuff

[lavish oracle]

I think if you don’t know how to play this game really fast, you won’t survive 5 minutes

[chrome wren]

What shark

[lavish oracle]

Hajahahaha me too

[chrome wren]

Never even noticed a shark

[lavish oracle]

It was like, oh look, a bottle

[chrome wren]

I ran TAG1 twice and never even saw the shark

Man, if only the shark was an actual threatening enemy and not a thing you’ll miss even on your 2nd run

The scuba parts just seem empty and uneventful imo

And it only got used in one part of one level

Yeah that’s true

[lavish oracle]

It’s true but, there is a shark

[chrome wren]

The underwater parts could’ve been more eventful

Same here

And I just remembered that cursed prowler

Yet another reskin, and a forgettable one

[lavish oracle]

My next steep is to finish the game without dying

[chrome wren]

I also kept forgetting how to deal with it

Turns out you were supposed to punch it

I quote James from AVGN “what the fuck were they thinking?!”

PC

I think the cursed prowler also disabled your weapons so you were just a potato

Or was it dashes? I don’t remember

Extremely boring and forgettable enemy type tbh, it’s just a green prowler that pisses you off

Also ever notice how the cursed prowler is a reskin of a reskin?

So prowlers are actually an reskin of imps, or really nightmare imps from doom 64

And that was a reskin of a regular imp

Maybe it’s a triple reskin? I don’t know

[lavish oracle]

It’s crazy man

[chrome wren]

Isn’t that the one with a bunch of archviles?

Reminds me of the double mindflayer room from p-2 in Ultrakill

Or the 2 virtues outside the Weezer room in the same level

Also that just sounds like modern plutonia lmao

[icy ice]

Jesus Christ just beat SGN ML on Nightmare…with double speed enemies 😭

Barely lol

You need to run meathook and run a single console command

Buff totems don’t do anything, but the enemy speed being doubled is faster than a buff totem (which is 1.5x I think)

[azure oriole]

the rest of the level is ez except for two fights
you know which ones

[icy ice]

World Spear would like a word

[azure oriole]

50 minute long level
i dont have that kind of stamina

[hexed plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/trollge-uncanny-depressed-sad-trollface-gif-24958563

pov doom eternal on console

[azure oriole]

Adding "pov" adds nothing of value

It makes no sense

Just say "doom eternal on console" and call it a hit

:trollge:

(Which btw is not an accurate meme cause eternal is not that bad on console at all)

switch joycons

Just be better

skill issue

[jolly igloo]

I agree

I have Doom eternal on ps4 and it’s some good shit

[hexed plaza]

yea but its not as good as pc

mainly bc on fps

and im good on console

i just beated nightmare and planning to do ultra nightmare

its just after that i dont have any point to play it

pc has mods and better fps and alot

i just wish consoles can have mods

[azure oriole]

you cant even access game files on console if im correct

[zealous mulch]

Console ain’t bad but yeah mods would be good

[hexed plaza]

yea

i wanna try out the kaiser campain

[icy ice]

On my first time playing World Spear ML on Nightmare I was 6 hours in (and way over my head lmao) when the game soft-locked on me and I had to do the whole thing over again

I just rewatched the quakecon gameplay footage and I do wish eternal looked darker and grittier like 2016

[solid sky]

Hey fellows, serious question:

Don't you think Eternal is a bit convoluted and stuffy in terms of all the different systems and features it employs. Especially when compared to Doom 2016? I mean, I just want to blast demon, not think about when to get armor, health, ammo from them. Or throw a grenade. Then, there are all these different weapon addons and personal addons that you also have to keep track of.

[north oxide]

nope. a series can't be stagnated in its systems forever. if eternal didn't have more mechanics than 2016 then it would just be a glorified expansion pack.

[solid sky]

Coca Cola hasn't changed its recipe in 100 years and it's still the most popular fizzy drink company.

Getting the formula right is not a bad thing. Helps you build a legacy.

[north oxide]

Coca Cola isn't a video game. Also, the company comes out with new flavors all the time.

If you want the same thing over and over again, play Call of Duty

[novel token]

I find fantastic the ramp up in difficulty and mental exercise demanded by eternal, bad idea to play it with the mentality of shoot don't think Unga bunga offensive all the time style, requires more strategic approach, yes its different and it's not a bad thing

[azure oriole]

6 hours???

[icy ice]

Yup I was a much worse player at that time

Now I can get through it UN in probably under an hour

[azure oriole]

dedication is impressive more than anything

i can't play no games for 6 hours straight

[azure oriole]

playing classic mode on some master levels made me understand how important strategic planning is

[icy ice]

The headache after playing doom for hours is insane though lmao

[azure oriole]

you don't really think much about it with full arsenal
but with classic mode every hit counts

[azure oriole]

i would go numb geez

[icy ice]

Classic mode is like “here’s a combat shotgun no mods, have fun with this tyrant lol”

[azure oriole]

true

i kinda like that actually
classic mode is fun

in taras nabad you fight a marauder and 2 barons with only sticky bombs

but you also have like grenades and shit

[young mango]

Remember when they changed their recipe back in the 80’s temporarily as new coke and they ran several scientific tests and had a bunch of people try it and they liked it a lot more than the original but the product just wasn’t “the same” so it got marginally rejected? That’s kinda what you’re doing here.

[young mango]

“Eternal is too complex” is such a stupid argument, no it’s not lol, if anything 2016 was the complex one. the game was so centric on stuff being optional that there’s literally a 0% speedrun category for it, not only that, runes needed to be upgraded by mastery challenges, unlocked by trials, and getting armor was completely optional, because it was a rune, “different weapon addons and personal addons that you have to keep track of.” Oh you mean just like 2016? That had the same amount of modbots, even more runes? And “not think about when to get armor, health, ammo from them” nu doom has always been about resource management. Eternal simplified a lot of stuff and you’re complaining about how it’s too complex

[slow sigil]

Eternal isn't even that complicated
It's complex compared to the average fps, but that's because most fps are incredibly dumbed down

[zealous mulch]

Eternal feels a bit complex to me after 2016,but it’s probably just the fast movement

[azure oriole]

look at battle royales for example

[young mango]

I will accept criticism of doom eternal, if it’s valid criticism, however if I feel like you do not know what you are talking about I will call you out on it, which I have done. You literally complained about not wanting to throw grenades, when they exist in doom 2016 as well, Infact 2016 actually had MORE equipment than eternal so I have no clue what you’re on about

[azure oriole]

There are many things that make the game easier
doesn't mean you NEED to use everything to win
But it becomes second nature after a while

[slow sigil]

I mean fortnite is unironically more complex then most fps

[azure oriole]

the building mechanic yes

[young mango]

I’m not even going to entertain anything bunny says next, it’s just straight up bait at this point

[strange gale]

both grenades in de are different takes on kinda the same concept (press button to stop enemy from moving), and the flamethrower is just a button you press to fill your 2nd health bar

[young mango]

Okay it’s been killing me because I have no clue what your profile picture is, is it one of those yakuza guys

[strange gale]

it's ps2 kiryu

[young mango]

Yea I was right I guess

[strange gale]

bp does the thing that any weapon you might use does all the time, just better since it's (mostly) guaranteed

[young mango]

Bp is more inconsistent early patches

I dont remember what it was I was doing but I was messing around with meath00k and something stupid happened

But unrelated to that I found it’s really interesting that combo swap chain doesn’t delay mods in release patch so it’s possible to BATS pb rocket, completely useless as it’s the same speed if not a little bit slower, and is ungodly hard to execute

[narrow oyster]

Key bindings can also make it out to be more complicated I think. You have more options which can make things seem more complex, but a lot of it will come to you within just an hour or two of gameplay; I agree that outside the menu, de can be a bit more complex, but it's definitely more straightforward once you've got the combat itself nailed down

[strange gale]

i'll entertain bunny's thoughts on this game and say that a lot of the player's options are more supplementary than vital, if not bloat

[narrow oyster]

True, just look at brawler mode

[strange gale]

as an example, frags enable the optimal mara one cycle, but outside of that they don't do anything that isn't already covered by your weapons and bp

ice bomb does nothing unique without frostbite, the extra damage is nice but otherwise it's practically just a falter tool

[azure oriole]

get out of jail free card

[strange gale]

can you explain to me what that entails specifically

[young mango]

The main downgrade I can think of from 2016 to eternal is the plasma rifle, in 2016 it could stun entire crowds of enemies for free and with not much ammo cost, and in eternal it has microwave beam ( bad ) and heat blast, which is useful for like a level and a half if you know Yeet blast

[strange gale]

you press a button to stop things from moving for a bit, a couple other buttons can also do that (and have a similar aoe & stun duration)

[azure oriole]

after upgrades sure
it's maybe useful

health + flame belch armor

what part specifically

are you struggling with posessed baron

[narrow oyster]

Dump micromissiles into it and finish off with lock on burst

[azure oriole]

use microwave beam to stun him then go upclose and ssg
then dash away

[azure oriole]

that's the easiest way or if you wanna be safe do this

[narrow oyster]

Also a good target for the unmaykr, even 10 bfg cells worth will soften it up plenty

You can outrun it, go find some fodder to ice bomb + punch&reave and flamebelch/ssgmeathook

[azure oriole]

everytime i hear cyberdemons i think of cyber mancubus

[narrow oyster]

same! Or I think of the balgaar demon from 2016

[azure oriole]

we're too used to eternal ig

"cyber"

[narrow oyster]

To me the tyrant is the WA WA WA WAAAA demon

[azure oriole]

lol

tag 2 is easier

[narrow oyster]

it could be easier

[azure oriole]

if you use the hammer

[narrow oyster]

Depends how you take to the sentinel hammer

I'm genuinely terrified of what Tammie is about to type

2

[young mango]

Alright some advice, destroyer blade deals 2400 damage at full charge, tyrants have 10000 health, barons have 7000, that’s a monumental toll on them, it’s advised you have them not moving while you’re firing destroyer blade, so frag grenade them in a crowd, or better yet, ice bomb, so +25% damage cuz frostbite, and get up close and personal with the super shotgun, if you’re not too good at quick switching you may want to rely on ssg ballista instead of ssg precision bolt cuz ballista deals more damage but has a slower wind down, also if you’re really getting smacked around by the baron and you’re really desperate to kill him in particular, you could save your bfg ammo and use the unmaykr on him, a single round of unmaykr is 600, and assuming you use the 30 ammo bfg charge youre provided ( don’t exceed it because even using one unmaykr ammo will prevent a whole bfg shot ) so all done and calculated using 30 rounds is around 18000 damage, a normal baron has 7000 health, so even if the possessed baron somehow has double health, you not only reach that threshold, but exceed it by another 4000 hp

[azure oriole]

you already have it

tap super weapon key twice

[young mango]

You automatically have in in TAG1 cuz Arsenal is basically a 100% save file

Bfg, and then mod swap

[azure oriole]

oh you're on console right

check in weapon wheel

[young mango]

No if you mod swap while having the bfg equipped it switches to unmaykr

[azure oriole]

it uses bfg ammo

[willow iron]

Hello everyone, how to solve the problem? unable to contact game services

[solid sky]

The only way to 100 percent a map is to replay it entirely and collect every secret there is? Or can I go back to it and just progress on the secrets I am missing?

[azure oriole]

you can

[storm thunder]

Hi

[uncut cobalt]

if doom eternal would add a maykr weapon skin which weapon would it be?

part of the classic doom 2 marine master collection

i actually dont know

[waxen hatch]

Fast travel becomes available at the end of a level

[azure oriole]

Holy shit world spear's long bro

[velvet olive]

my friend was intrested in doom. so i told him some doom lore, then we got each other's phone number (i met him at the playground) then i shared my screen and started playing Urdak

lets just say that he was so amazed

and i didnt even use the BFG once

[slow sigil]

If you are out of the level you have to replay it

If you're in it you can just fast travel

[solid sky]

I meant AFTER beating the game, and I look back at all I missed.

Good to know tho.

[slow sigil]

Still satisfies the question

[wraith citrus]

Hey can anyone help me. I have 12 hours played on Doom Eternal and everything was working fine and now I can't access any online features. "Unable to contact game services".

Things I've tried:
• Port forwarding Steam/Doom Eternal ports. I even allowed both executables through firewall.
• Reinstalled the game.
• Removed Steam userdata and save files.
• Did a network reset and restarted my modem.
• Unlinked my Steam account.

I have an idea that might fix it, but I can't seem to find a way to make the prompt pop up saying to sign into a bethesda account. Yes I submitted a support ticket but who knows somebody might know the answer in here. I wanna play online for the rewards.

Does someone know how i can prevent opening this server whenever i open Doom eternal?

[azure oriole]

what.

just dont open discord then?

[azure oriole]

Now i got this too 💀

[grizzled stirrup]

I played horde mode, and marauder stuck in the wall and died, after 5 second game crashed on the end of horde mode, thank you

[midnight sparrow]

Then maybe Bethesda servers are down rn?

[grizzled stirrup]

Me too

[azure oriole]

Yh tru

Doom eternal offline?

Can't get online for some reason...

does anybody have an idea when the game will be working again?

[azure oriole]

does anyone know how to contact them abt it

[north oxide]

online "services" for single player games are the devil

[azure oriole]

Just found out bfg stands for big fucking gun 😂

oh shit

[distant vessel]

yeah

there are refferences to it in other games like league of legends and some other games

[solar bough]

i have same problem

[north oxide]

servers are down, just gotta wait

[uncut cobalt]

servers down?

[distant vessel]

servers are down just the moment i got doomicorn skin dang

u guys might wanna open a ticket here:

[azure forum]

Immoran

[uncut cobalt]

when will there be another event?

[pallid adder]

@acoustic lark A scheduled maintenance is in effect right now, that's why DOOM Eternal is offline at the moment

[exotic thorn]

ohhh ok, this is why DE is deconnected ?

[autumn bramble]

the microwave beam satisfies me when I use it. I like watching things get gored by a wavey laser

[pallid adder]

Probably, I'd show a screenshot for a visual: but I'm unable to here

[exotic thorn]

in mp ?

[distant vessel]

did you guys know that in doom eternal dashing into enemies does more damage than punching them?

[uncut cobalt]

yeh

[distant vessel]

its weird

they shouldve just made our fist able to kill a zombie

at least a zombie

[uncut cobalt]

facts

[pallid adder]

Is anyone else still having connection problems with DOOM Eternal?

'Cause it was working fine for me before, now nothing

[distant vessel]

everyone is

[pallid adder]

Really?

[distant vessel]

the servers are down

[pallid adder]

Huh

[distant vessel]

hopefull it will fix tomorrow

[pallid adder]

Same

@distant vessel Just to clarify here, I play DOOM Eternal on my PS4 Slim

[distant vessel]

isnt playing on controller like hell?

[pallid adder]

No. I'm more comfortable playing with a controller than a keyboard, 'cause it's what I grew up on with gaming.

[distant vessel]

i played on controller once

[slow sigil]

it's a bit "less" but it's certainly not hell

[distant vessel]

it felt like hell bc i suck at controller

[pallid adder]

Then that's a you thing, I'm more comfortable with a controller than mouse and keyboard

[distant vessel]

thats cool

[pallid adder]

Yep

To go back to DOOM Eternal online here, Bethesda is sunsetting their dedicated Bethesda.net launcher and migrating to Steam: so I wouldn't be surprised if that was what was effecting things.

[oblique phoenix]

any official word on servers?

[pallid adder]

Wait, that was back in April and May

[pallid adder]

I don't know, that's what I'm trying to find out here

[azure oriole]

Nah i think this game is the game where pc players have the advantage especially w the gun swap

But maybe im just trash at the game

[pallid adder]

I was trash at DOOM Eternal last night, but I didn't care: I was having too much fun

[azure oriole]

Where u at in the game

[smoky echo]

guys, do you have the online server shuted down?

[north oxide]

that's the important thing

[lone flower]

Yes, it wasn’t working all day, I suppose

[smoky echo]

oh okay thks I was thinking if I was ban

[plucky mesa]

Hello people, I wanted to play battlemode after buying the year one pass on steam (both DLCs) but it tells me that the game services could not be contacted, does anyone know how to fix it?

[lone flower]

It’s servers are shut down for some reason right now

[plucky mesa]

ok, thanks

[novel token]

ALL mouse and keyboard gamers have an advantage in aiming in every game, everything else is almost virtually identical

and I also cannot connect to bethesda since yesterday too 😭

[azure oriole]

Guys for some reason I can’t connect online

On ps4

Does anyone know why

[lone flower]

.

[azure oriole]

Oh thx

Silly me

[lone flower]

Nobody knows why

[azure oriole]

Well it is what it is I guess

[azure oriole]

Wait isn’t any workers at ID here

Maybe they know why assuming they have time to answer us

[random vault]

dont ping them, it’s scheduled maintenance

[lone flower]

When will it end?

[azure oriole]

Once I finish 2016 should I play this? Or should I work backwards first? All the old Doom games are free on Premium and I haven't played any of them.

[azure oriole]

Ok ok

[lone flower]

I don’t think it matters, but I recommend trying eternal first

Old ones come first chronologically anyway

[slow sigil]

Old ones don't really matter qua story though, they have practically nothong

[slow sigil]

Play what ypu think you'll like most, just remember that eternal is it's own game and don't expect exactly doom 2016 p2

[lone flower]

Yeah,eternal is somewhat more complicated than 2016

[azure oriole]

Oh okay. I might like Eternal then.

[slow sigil]

Depends on what you usually like

[azure oriole]

Not that I don't like 2016. Just that it feels kind of basic, I guess. No shade.

[azure forum]

Best way to get close to MK is by using Gyro honestly

If playing with controller of course.

[azure oriole]

I am still early and I stick to 1-3 guns. So that may be on me.

[azure forum]

Yep. As you progress, you will find the importance of quick swapping.

[slow sigil]

Doom 2016 doesn't care much about making you use more of your guns, eternal... somewhat more

[azure forum]

In 2016 3 weapons is all you need anyways

[lone flower]

Eternal is faster,has more gear and you need to use almost every weapon

[slow sigil]

Ypu're likely still gpnna be using 4/5 weapons, and chaingun as a shield

Because the khan makyr broke the pact keeping demons out, they state this like multiple times in the level

[mystic vault]

Why is heaven always worde then hell in video games

1 really

The BFG is spammable

Or 2 if you run out, siege mode on the Gauss cannon is op

I’m not the only one that thought the Gauss cannon felt out of place in 2016, right?

It felt like it was from halo or something else

Ballista at least fit in much more with eternal imo

[distant vessel]

are the servers up?

[azure oriole]

?

[novel token]

ye, the revived a couple hours ago

[distant vessel]

is it possible to win as a demon in multiplayer mode? or do i have skill issue

[flint flame]

Skill issue

[distant vessel]

dang

[flint flame]

The whole point is that you’re supposed to work as a team

If you can’t coordinate, then you simply just lose

[distant vessel]

we simply lost

[warped sage]

I think I know why the purple goo in Eternal slows you down.

It’s just a pool of Grimace Shake.

Deadly to be consumed, and even slows down those who cross through a puddle of it.

But hey, it’s just a theory. A Game Theory.

[distant vessel]

i wish there was 3rd person in this game so that skins were more relevant

[halcyon flare]

idk man the only reason i play the game is so that I can tear demonspawn apart in my own pov

[young mango]

Dreadknight

[tacit orchid]

He can also become an easy counter

[mystic vault]

Unmayker pretty good

[wraith siren]

underrated weapon

[mystic vault]

FR

[mystic vault]

Can take out those tyrant demons with ice grenade 7 unmayker shots 1 super shotgun blast then microwave beam and then bam dead

[young mango]

In a vacuum it’s pretty good but the ice bomb frostbite + unmaykr is still slower then the fastest possible tyrant combo, 30 rounds ( a single charge ) can deal 18000 damage, almost enough to kill a tyrant twice over, but it’s more beginner friendly, raw DPS isn’t everything, especially when the gun has massive spread it’s an odd combination, because even if it wasn’t a superweapon, rapid fire + close up doesnt really mix well. Especially when the bfg can wipe out entire arenas in one shot if you tried taking out every arena with just the unmaykr like that you wouldn’t even have any ammo left

If the bfg didn’t exist and the unmaykr was it’s own thing I have no doubt it’d be used in speedruns even, but it’s just so heavily outclassed there’s no motivation to use it

The only speedrun that I’ve seen that utilizes unmaykr is sentinel prime IL any% restricted and even then that’s such a specific use case, when normally you don’t even attain that weapon until after Taras Nabad

[stuck stag]

I am softlocked help

[young mango]

TAG2?

Nah I’m kidding what level?

[stuck stag]

The one where you find Samuel Hayden

[young mango]

Okay did you fall through the elevator? Just reload checkpoint, it might happen a couple more times

[stuck stag]

Thanks, forgot that was a thing

[flint flame]

All that setup just to say you killed a tyrant with the unmaykr

[strange gale]

a third of the damage in that sequence comes from meme beam

[young mango]

LOLLL YOU DID THE MATH😭😭😭😭

Hold on wait

[strange gale]

it's a little less than a third but still

[young mango]

Yea you’re right i calculated it

So like with frostbite that’s still 2750 damage with the microwave beam alone that has to be done

[strange gale]

you're lucky if you even manage to fit 7 unmaykr and 1 ssg shot within the freeze

[young mango]

Yea true

But I’m giving the benefit of the doubt, like best case scenario

[strange gale]

actually ssg doesn't gain anything there, 7 max damage shots all with frostbite applied is still a lot to hope for though

[young mango]

Okay so it’d be more like 3150 left

Which is 63 rounds of microwave beam

Which would take just as long as killing a spirit

Man i didn’t even question it at first I just thought “yep they’ve watched a bit too much mayo”

[strange gale]

33.3 damage per tick at 20 ticks per second (50ms firing interval, if i'm reading the decl right) works out to 666 dps, and with the lock-on time added on, that's around 5 seconds to finish that sequence

add all the other bs on top, and you end up with a hilariously slow ttk

[mystic vault]

Right but once your in your 2nd playthrough you dont find urself using the bfg as often

I get what u meam tho

[mystic vault]

Ironic dps

[mystic vault]

I use microwave beam stun

[lunar temple]

man, the first Archvile arena is a pain

definitely a wall for me atm

[tacit orchid]

Ice bomb is the key. Whatever floats your combo after that

[shut minnow]

What does the equipment fiend rune do?

The description kinda sucks

[strange gale]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1050443872318275604/1131126365924622336/image.png

@shut minnow

ice bomb, grenade, and flame belch cooldowns when upgraded are 35s, 20s, and 12.5s respectively

[shut minnow]

Thank you

But how does it actually activate?

For example, if I ice bomb something, then kill everything in it with a sticky bomb, does that activate it or do I have to kill it with a grenade?

[slow sigil]

Sticky bombs don't count for regular grenade cooldown reduction

Meathook's flaming hook does count for flamebelch though

[shut minnow]

I’m still confused

How does it activate!

[slow sigil]

By killing enemies with it or that are influenced by it

Like frozen, on fire, or directly via the nades (idk if it activates during the falter, i'm guessing not)

[shut minnow]

So what you are saying is that if I just kill something with the nades it activates

[slow sigil]

Yeah

[shut minnow]

I see, thank you.

[azure oriole]

hi

Should I buy Doom Eternal

[shut minnow]

If you want to

[azure oriole]

I need opinions of internet strangers

[slow sigil]

I don't think you will get an unbiased view in the discord server for that game

[azure oriole]

the most trustworthy sort of people

[north oxide]

this internet stranger's opinion is, get it if it looks good to you. i can't tell you what to do, i'm not your real dad

[azure oriole]

But tell me about the plot and stuff is it as good as Doom II

[slow sigil]

Doom II literally has no real plot so no, it's much more

[north oxide]

insofar as Doom II didn't really have a plot, yes it's better.

[azure oriole]

speak sense

[slow sigil]

I do

[azure oriole]

It has a plot alright

[slow sigil]

Doom II has no real plot so a game with a real plot has infinitely more plot

[azure oriole]

A good one at that

[north oxide]

"there are demons. kill the demons." is the plot.

[slow sigil]

Alr, give me 4 lines about the story

[azure oriole]

But you gotta not skip the little text cutscenes like most people

[north oxide]

fucking Dark Souls has more of a plot than Doom

[azure oriole]

Dark souls: you are stuck in a room with demons. Doom: demons are stuck in a room with you

[slow sigil]

Dark souls has a deep lore which you can count as plot ig

[north oxide]

lore and plot are not the same thing

[slow sigil]

Didn't claim it

[azure oriole]

ya

[azure oriole]

Unless it is like Skyrim I guess

Am I not correct

[midnight sparrow]

As if Doom II has a phenomenal story or something. I recommend Eternal but you do you man

[azure oriole]

that Is what I sought all those seconds ago

Guys I need help

[north oxide]

I'm not sure what you mean

[azure oriole]

Nothing

[north oxide]

ok. Buy Doom Eternal.

It is good.

[astral salmon]

[astral salmon]

fr

[astral salmon]

what does it look like

[frozen gulch]

@azure oriole is the super shotgun exclusive to doomguy or would UAC forces and other marines use them as well?

[strange gale]

the d2016 and de super shotguns are separate weapons, the former used to be uac standard issue while the latter is unique

[flint flame]

No need to flex on them, they just got a personal achievement in the game

[slow sigil]

Marauders have them aswell

[azure oriole]

What Glask said. The Doom 2016 Super Shotgun is just a normal double-barrel UAC shotgun.
Eternal's is the Super Shotgun from the classic games, retrofitted with an Argenta meathook.

[slow sigil]

the ssg you use is specifcally one you used to own, but there are certainly others of it's kind (though probs without meathook as far as we know) around

[distant vessel]

[solid sky]

Pressed for an answer, what are the TOP 3 TIPS you'd give to new players to get better at Doom Eternal?

[oblique summit]

hi

Which difficulty should I choose?

help please

I've just started

[tight dagger]

How good r u at doom 2016?

If u never played or were ok at 2016 i suggest hurt me plenty

[azure oriole]

Well I started with ultra violence mainly for jokes and that’s what I did

[oblique summit]

I didn't buy doom 2016, I couldn't afford it. I bought the doom eternal because the raise will come

[azure oriole]

Yeah that pretty much

[azure oriole]

Start with hurt me plenty maybe

[tight dagger]

Oh. Im sorry to hear that. Hurt me plenty then

[oblique summit]

ok thanks

[azure oriole]

But don’t play tag 1 on ultra violence

[tight dagger]

If he cant afford 2016 i doubt he will buy TAG

[azure oriole]

I finished it on ultra violence but I don’t recommend it

[azure oriole]

Well I got de and the dlc on discount

For the ps4

[tight dagger]

I got with gamepass so no dlc ):

[azure oriole]

Oof

Oh well

What’s your favourite doom slayer skin

[tight dagger]

Doomicorn. Dont have it though

[azure oriole]

Ok

Mine is teal chrome or the doom 2 skin

[tight dagger]

Do you know a fast way to grind event XP?

[azure oriole]

Not really

I rarely play eternal

[tight dagger]

I want the patriot skin

[azure oriole]

Maybe like once a month

Oh hmm 🤔

Maybe YouTube may know

There are also challenges

[tight dagger]

All those are outdated glitch videos from 2021

[azure oriole]

Well I can’t really help you sry

[tight dagger]

Ok

[azure oriole]

But I hope you get it

What’s the thing that Americans say

Is it oooorah

[tight dagger]

FreeeeeeeeDOOM!

[azure oriole]

Well bye

[ionic torrent]

do i need doom eternal on steam for tag2

[robust elk]

Tag2?

Oh ancient gods 2

[flint flame]

No

The dlcs are purchasable by themselves

[ionic torrent]

aight

didn't see that mentioned in the description for tag2 on steam so i asked. was on tag1's description

[uncut cobalt]

why cant i go to the demon prison anymore?

[flint flame]

After beating it once post beating the main campaign, it’s just locked forever on that save

[uncut cobalt]

aww

[tacit orchid]

Buuut, there are ways, if you liked the concept and want more. Just gotta dive a bit beyond just the base game

And you ain't on console that is

[gusty basin]

After beating the main story you can't go back into the demon prison?

Damn, that sucks...: (

[robust elk]

The ripatorium?

Oh you mean the beginning of hell on earth

[flint flame]

No? They did mean the ripatorium

[robust elk]

Well in that case yeah you can definitely go back to the ripatorium

[flint flame]

Dude I just said you can’t replay it 🤣

[robust elk]

Ok geepers.....

[sturdy kernel]

Hey, Im playing on console and want to get better at movement so I can complete the Mars core master level on nightmare. Odd question, but are some levels better for practicing movement with the meathook and ballsta than others?

[tacit orchid]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K87JhTcLJHg
This might help.

[sturdy kernel]

Thank u :))

[tacit orchid]

Air Control as a rune is key, and the rest is well explained in there, np!

[azure forum]

Binding weapons to buttons is very helpful to get better quickswapping imo. The weapon wheel is meh at the end. Also, if using the wheel, maybe decreasing it's size to 6 or even 4 if you are a mad lad will help.

[tacit orchid]

On a controller? + they asked about movement mastery

[azure forum]

Yes. On a controller. Better quickswapping helps with movement if anything. Being able to ballista boost without having to open the wheel is a good thing.

Not only that, it helps with aim as well.

[tacit orchid]

For that specific thing sure, just make sure to bind somewhere you won't use something that much

[azure forum]

No, the opposite. You bind the good weapons and leave the not very useful ones in the WW

Ideally I'd say SSG must be bind to a button

[tacit orchid]

That is what I meant, oh boi

As the issue is Eternal just adds way more mechanics, getting more bindings to be important and a controller simply doesn't have that many buttons

[azure forum]

Right. That's when you start sacrificing not very useful stuff

First, you have an empty button I'm pretty sure. You can bind SSG,remove mission info, weapon mod switch, crucible, and last option grenade switch (if you go full 4 weapon wheel size)

But I'm pretty sure you can bind 4 weapons and still have the grenade switch button.

[tacit orchid]

Pretty sure nade switch is needed for NM/UN, yeah it can be tricky to figure how to do this, it's manageable, but exactly a reason why I never fancied controllers in something where too many bindings are applying to useful stuff such as fast paced shooters with big arsenals

[azure forum]

I play on controller even on PC. If I am correct, I have 4 weapons binded and I still have grenade button. Anyways, that's the most optimal way to play on controller imo.

[slow sigil]

At that point might aswell remove the weaponwheel aswell lmfao

[azure forum]

On PC I don't have to sacrifice anything. I still use everything

[slow sigil]

No need for plasma unless tag

[azure forum]

You basically do. You increase the timeout for it to 300-500ms to never open it basically unless you need microwave beam for spirits

[tacit orchid]

And Exultia, but that's just a short segment until CB and RL

[azure forum]

PB Stickies take you out of exultia

[tacit orchid]

Not everyone performs PB combos

[slow sigil]

Honestly in exultia i just forget i even have PR

[azure forum]

Point being, you still have a 4 weapon wheel size with: shield, BFG, Plasma and Combat. (I don't play with shield)

[slow sigil]

No other real reason tohave quickswap buttons though

[tacit orchid]

And not everyone is you

[slow sigil]

Ok?

[tacit orchid]

If someone finds use for something else, than they find use for something else, not everyone wants to bother with PB combos

And I say that as a PB combo lover

[azure forum]

I'm just giving ideas son. You can use them or anyone can as they need. If you don't play on controller and don't need them, don't worry.

[slow sigil]

But like.... for what else do you need the buttons for then?

[sturdy kernel]

yeah i know how to quick swap with the PB-rocket combo and all that. However I find it difficult to do so with the button since you have to switch to the rocket then to the heavy cannon, and then you have to take out whatever is in front of you while also dealing with a bunch of other things. For example there is this one room in Mars Core ML with two marauders. In that room there is two barons at one point and around four revenants at another. I could try to quick switch and take them out, but with all the pressure I end up fumbling and just relying on lock on burst :/

[azure forum]

Then don't. If people want to get better then they will find use for PB combos.

[slow sigil]

if you aren't doing pb combos you're just doing ssg bal at most for which you don't need the swap buttons

[sturdy kernel]

Not to mention aiming PB is kinda hard when the baron is moving around and attacking me lol

[slow sigil]

you aim it identical to ballista

[azure forum]

I don't recommend using remote det, but you can easily PB rocket with it by just holding the weapon mod button. Also, I think PB ballista or PB SSG are way more important. Lock on is just strong without any combos and once you get into SLOB it is even better but requires a more advanced stuff.

[tacit orchid]

That already is impressive, I struggled doing that on a controller lol

[slow sigil]

pb is just a tiny bit thinner

[azure forum]

Also, remember that you don't use PB for the aiming capability but for the quick shot. You basically don't aim if that makes sense - like you don't hold the aim like a sniper.

[tacit orchid]

And also, Baron is huge to target with anything + PB is a hitscan that I'm pretty sure with bit of practice you'll hit with it just well. Than it depends - close range? PB SSG, longer distance full hitscan? PB Ballista. Once mastering the air movement? PB Rocket for that additional splash you might need.

[sturdy kernel]

Yeah I actually tried doing that same method, however switching to LOB and RD when I need them is kinda a hassle sometimes, since my attentions might be on something that requires PB rocket but then a second later I need to focus on something else that requires lock on burst. Maybe I just gotta be more aware of my surroundings to avoid that though

[slow sigil]

if you're doing it right the pb doesn't move a frame

[sturdy kernel]

ah I see

[azure forum]

On controller is a little more tricky due to not being as accurate as mouse and takes more play with the sensitivity values to get it right.

[tacit orchid]

Essentially you don't even aim, you just...quickly perform the thing

But on a controller I found it wacky xD

[sturdy kernel]

Oh yeah PB ballista and PB SSG are really great, I should prob focus on doing those more

[azure forum]

It is the same as PC. You press two buttons to fire and then 1 to swap.

[tacit orchid]

Idk still struggled with it more, but ig it comes to what you get the feel in more, as someone being PC exclusive since about 2005-6, guess I just got too much feel for a m/k. Depends.

[azure forum]

Yes, PB ballista are for long range and PB SSG mostly for short range. Id suggest you practice those more as they arr easier to learn and more helpful than PB rockets. Use Lock on burst by itself and once you feel more confident you can get more into PB rockets.

[azure forum]

Right, I'm the opposite. I never learned how to use KM so I always use controllers.

[tacit orchid]

Macros also become the key. For sure needs a mouse with a support for them, but nowadays, even a 20-25$ one can do them reliably

[sturdy kernel]

also I didn't know you could bind weapons to buttons, which weapons and which buttons would you recommend?

[azure forum]

Let me get a starting binding for you since you are mostly used to weapon wheel

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/935398695782985778/995889871552000060/Screenshot_20220710-231036_Discord.jpg

Id say start by binding SSG to either L3 or R3

Learning a new binding setup takes some time at first. The way I play is by always being able to: jump, move, dash, fire, activate weapon mod and change weapon without having to lift a thumb

[sturdy kernel]

Thank you, I really appreicate it :))

[sturdy kernel]

Yeah I've changed my layout before, dosent take more than a few levels to get used to it though in my experience

[ripe shore]

this game still active? I finally got it on pc after three years of console lmao

[azure oriole]

Yeah it is

[azure oriole]

What n/a do (in the key binds setting)

[distant vessel]

who also has skill issue like me?

[young mango]

It means non applicable, should do absolutely nothing

[azure oriole]

Bruh i am so trash at the game but i just changed my key binds similarly to the post above and its a game changer put ur dash and jump on l3 and l1 ull become so much better

[azure oriole]

Thanks this helped me a lot

[azure oriole]

Ah ok thx

[willow sky]

i beat exultia on UN

wish me luck

I'm making a pretty bad decision of beating a level on nightmare deathless, then redoing it on UN
which sounds good in concept but I've never beaten nightmare so not sure if I should do that before UN

[young mango]

Well prepare yourself for cultist base, a lot of people deem it the hardest level

[distant vessel]

if only i played on controller

[willow sky]

damn really? I'd imagine its arc complex or taras nabad

[azure forum]

Cultist is the hardest by far

Once you pass cultist and get into SGN, you get ballista and shield which are great.

[distant vessel]

ballista fast switch into super shotgun = big dps

[slow sigil]

arc is pretty fine

[azure forum]

The slayer gate in arc can be tricky, but it is better to just skip it in UN

[willow sky]

yeah im not doing any secrets and stuff for UN

[distant vessel]

the unmaykr is not worth it anyways

[willow sky]

i'd be afraid of getting bored of the game since i just 100%ed my UV save

[azure forum]

Yep. First time you do UN just try to avoid as many encounters as possible. Also, never risk. Be safe at all times and make sure you're always stacked

[distant vessel]

i mean i would do slayer gates just because i hate myself

[willow sky]

arent the DLCs UN like 10x harder\

[azure forum]

The only reason you need slayer gates for is to get weapon points but you don't need that many anyways if you have a plan on how to use them in UN

[slow sigil]

no they are easier then basegame actually

[willow sky]

im gonna beat story UN before i even play the DLCS anyway

[slow sigil]

they are shorter so less room for failure

[azure forum]

1st one is hard id say. Second one is not that bad. Id say it is the easiest UN you can do

[willow sky]

i heard the first one is insane

[slow sigil]

not that much

[slow sigil]

eh not really a good decision, you will seriously overburn yourself that way

[distant vessel]

when i first played this game i thought beating the game on ultra violence was impressive but i was dumb to think so

[willow sky]

so does all of the stuff you do in the story not carry over to the DLC
like im gonna have to upgrade all my stuff again

[slow sigil]

no, you just get everything at the start of the dlc

[azure forum]

Don't focus on beating UN but on beating the game itself and having fun

[slow sigil]

they are practically unlinked except through story

[distant vessel]

yeah

[azure forum]

The DLCs will give you a better practice with full arsenal

[willow sky]

yeah thats true

[slow sigil]

it's also just more fun to do the dlcs first

[distant vessel]

do you guys ever feel ashamed that you had to use the bfg?

[azure forum]

Right. If anything campaign gets boring after you repeat Hell on earth over and over 🤣

[slow sigil]

nope

[willow sky]

no but extra lives make me feel very ashamed and annoyed i wish you could disable them

[slow sigil]

literally just don't pick them up

[azure forum]

If you want to have a good idea where you are for UN, play extra life mode in nightmare and don't grab any more lives
See how far you get just with the 3 starting lives.

[slow sigil]

or blow yourself/jump of a cliff

[distant vessel]

facts, people are not mad that they lose their extra life they are mad because they had to use it

[willow sky]

i don't anymore but when i was getting all the secrets in my last playthrough and i was always using an extra life it was kind of annoying cause that meant i only offically died 1 time

[distant vessel]

hey what super shotgun do you guys use?

[willow sky]

skin?

[azure forum]

If you hate extra lives, play nightmare and just don't grab lives. If you die, you have to restart the encounter again

[distant vessel]

yep

[willow sky]

im using jade right now

[azure forum]

I use all Hellforged weapon skins

[distant vessel]

mine is maykr

[willow sky]

wheres that from
that reminds me where do people get the maykr skin for all their weapons?
i only got it for like 2 or 3

[distant vessel]

i dont know

i just got them and i dont know how they just appeared in my inventory

[slow sigil]

theres like 1, maybe 2 in past events

[distant vessel]

i didnt even know super shotgun had one

[azure forum]

There are only 4 mayker skins, the rest are Astro for the white ones

[slow sigil]

pretty sure there is some mods of rit iirc

[young mango]

I hate how the only weapon series that got finished was the gold one

Would’ve loved to see an entirely teal chrome Arsenal, teals my favorite color

[azure forum]

And Hellforged

[young mango]

Oh yea

[flint flame]

Yeah

But you get basically all of them from the 4 seasons that are cycled

[sturdy kernel]

yo quick question

is there any skin that causes the doomblade to be on fire

if there is I NEEEEED it

[young mango]

Aurum

And I think the doom skin you get from having deluxe edition

[sturdy kernel]

i dont got that sadly

and TAG1 Ultra nightmare can stay nice and far away lol, wouldn't mind it as much if the Samur fight wasnt so bad

[young mango]

https://youtu.be/-L5ufUd1Pco

Well there’s this, the last phase is the hardest part tbh

[cyan frigate]

ember, and bounty lord from horde mode 👍

[keen ore]

Sup. Yall do I have to start a new save slot to pkay extra life mode? Is there no way to do extra life in the save where I already beat the game and have everything?

[short rune]

Yo guys

How would u rate my controller gameplay?

https://youtube.com/shorts/RqKFCG7Joc8?feature=share

https://youtube.com/shorts/ylfqQJEKndc?feature=share

[random vault]

cool

i suppose

[short rune]

Quality is always crappy 😭😭😭

I record the shorts through my phone's screen videos

[distant vessel]

what are your guys least favourite demon? mine is the whiplash

[slow sigil]

Probs marauders

[sturdy kernel]

carcasses are like mancubi just without being loveable

[young mango]

Yea you have to make a new save file

[sturdy kernel]

better than me lmao

you actually quickswap to kill tyrants instead of being like me and just using the chaingun shield and blood punch every time

[short rune]

U play in pc or controller?

[sturdy kernel]

controller

[short rune]

A

Just try to customize your controller to a fast-paged game that you have played

For example I got some idea on how to fly and move all bc I used to play transformers wfc

It was basically like a shooter arena if you knew what you were doing

So instead of using the vanilla mapping on a controller

I based my custom one from that game

Like fire with "R1" instead of "R2"

Like in og ps3 games

[sturdy kernel]

im trying to do something like that

like changing jump to l1 prob

[short rune]

Or try claw

Use X as the jump button and L2 as dash

It becomes ez imo if u a claw gamer

Ik a guy that knows how to bind controllers to comfortable degree if u don't use claw

His name is unlimitedmuphinz

https://youtu.be/hIa7bGR5ug0

Imma ask him his controller settings so u can try it out

[sturdy kernel]

I don't really like claw that much, iirc it hurts my fingers

but yeah ask him, thanks

i plan on practicing more later today

[young mango]

I haven’t done much controller stuff but here was my best attempt at a combo on controller: https://youtu.be/F1m4g5hE8OI

[sturdy kernel]

destroyer blade wrecks lol

[flint flame]

🥱🛌

[young mango]

I think it’s going to be funny if the next ID game has yet another glitch where going off a ledge in a certain way sends you sky high

I forget was 2016’s version of it was but it definitely was a bit more intricate to pull off than eternals slope boosting which is just going on the edge of a platform and spamming jump with the weapon wheel open

[short rune]

Oh

Imma try it someday

[young mango]

Well since you’re a console player you can’t really downpatch, and slope boosting only works on release patch

But boosts that do work current patch are wall boosts, dash boosts, edge boosts, and yeethook, all mentioned in the extensive doom eternal guide in pinned messages

[short rune]

Damn I can't send images

[short rune]

I have done those only by accident

Except yeethook

Well imma do a lil livestream

In doom eternal

After prolly 2 months of not playing

[obtuse whale]

i did a dumbass move and ran out of a slayer gate without getting the black key

[sturdy kernel]

I know this is an old reply, but would it be better to bind SSG to L1? Since that way its a bit easier to jump while charging up a destroyer blade, at least for me

[azure forum]

Oh yeah. Change it to anything you feel comfortable with

At the end that's the most important thing

[sturdy kernel]

Alright cool, thanks!

[young mango]

Oh hi rodark I saw you were in the speedrun server while looking through the members, you into speedrunning?

[azure forum]

Hey Tammie, I am not. I just like learning about the latest techniques and skips and all that .

[young mango]

Ah

Well double shots pretty good tech to learn, it’s controller friendly

[azure forum]

I like watching speed runners but I will never get into that. That's another level. I prefer battlemode myself

[north oxide]

sometimes speedruns are fun to watch but personally i like to take my time with games

[young mango]

Yea good speedruns are heavily rehearsed in advance so it’s understandable to just want to play casually

The run I’m most proud of is my SGN 14:10, unfortunately it’s invalid cuz I had meath00k running and didn’t know it

[silk dawn]

You guys should not shoot my weak points

I need my cannons

[frozen gulch]

I see just a very powerful high caliber shotgun, is it true that Phobos armor is an attempt by the UAC to reverse engineer the praetor suit?

[willow sky]

I see why bruh this triple mancubus shit is insane

[wheat echo]

call 7279352773 and say hi Trevor

[sturdy kernel]

for what demons is using PB SSG good for?

I've found it to be best on Revenants and Arachnatrons so far

Ive been trying to use it on Mancubus and Cyber Mancubus but idk if its good on them or not

I guess a better question would be if its good on Mancubus and Cyber or not lol

[young mango]

Pretty much anything, it’s a popular high dps two weapon combo used in speedruns and it’s good for taking down superheavies and yes even mancubi and cyber mancubi as long as you throw a grenade before hand so you don’t get slapped around by their ground attack

[sturdy kernel]

Ah thanks, yeah I kept getting smacked by the mancubi😆

I was being really stubborn so I was trying to see if I could kill them consistently with PB SSG without taking damage without using grenades or ice bombs

[novel vector]

so i was looking through doom eternal's files, trying to get the models to use in blender, apparently, what i assume are the files related to the khan after the boss, are named khan_makyr_naked, huh.

should probably have said this in #eternal-modding now that i think of it

[azure forum]

I'm pretty sure you can if you are close range.

Maybe you have to break a weak point in the process.

[sturdy kernel]

Yeah thats what I assumed

[azure forum]

What do you play on son? ps or Xbox?

[sturdy kernel]

ps

[novel vector]

i find precision to be really good for dealing with fodder demons, at least on ultra violence it'll kill most of them, and stagger the rest

and maybe its just in the dlc, but iirc it creates a blast around it on headshots that can wipe out a group of possessed and imps

[sturdy kernel]

you get that if you max out of heavy cannon

[novel vector]

ah

precision shots also have really generous quick shot aim snapping, basically if you shoot close around to something of note, if you do it quickly enough, it'll snap to it

really handy for the makyr drones

[sturdy kernel]

Oh cool, will this work without aim assist?

[novel vector]

i play on mouse and keyboard, so it should

[sturdy kernel]

I've heard people tell me to play without it, don't remember the reason why though :/

[novel vector]

i did my first few playthroughs on controller, and i don't even remember that being an option

[sturdy kernel]

huh, weird

im considering turning it back on though

[novel vector]

put it on if you want, if you prefer it with aim assist, then play with it on

So in Mars Core during the arena fight right before the ion catapult, there’s a certain track that plays that I don’t think I’ve heard anywhere else. Anyone know what it is and if there’s a YouTube rip of it?

[novel vector]

could you provide a video or something?

or should i look one up?

[icy ice]

Yea let me try to find one

Wait nvm found it

[novel vector]

what was it?

[icy ice]

Check the videos channel

It’s an extended in-game mix of Mars Core.

[novel vector]

oh ok

glad you found it

[icy ice]

Same lol thanks

The second half of it plays in that arena, and only in the final arena of the Master Level

[azure forum]

I don't use aim assist. To be fair though, Ive heard what it does but I just never used it.

I decided to just turn it off completely as well as the smoothness setting (set to 0).

Ancient Gods Part 3, when

[uncut cobalt]

you guys got any advice for the ultra nightmare?

[midnight sparrow]

Never

[warped sage]

TAG2 concludes Slayer’s story so why do a TAG3?

[jolly igloo]

I’d be somewhat ok with a prequel dlc directly after doom 2016 to fill the gap between that and the beginning of eternal

I think that’s the best way to do a theoretical TAG3

[slow sigil]

that wouldn't be a tag though, it must be called something different

[astral salmon]

uhuh part 3 💀

[tardy halo]

Any day now

[astral salmon]

mhm

[copper galleon]

We can only hope

[narrow oyster]

It's all about movement and keeping your distance for the first 3 levels

Without all your kit, health and armour, you're pretty squishy and vulnerable, so focus on staving off damage and keeping yourself alive. Once you get your ssg tho, you probably have enough kit to start playing as you normally would on other levels

[uncut cobalt]

ty so much

[waxen stump]

I finally got the platinum trophy for Doom Eternal on Ps5 😍

[vivid nest]

congrats

[waxen stump]

Thank youu

[marble dagger]

Hey everyone i'm back, did Bethesda apologize to Mick Gordon yet?

[acoustic lark]

Not this again...

[slow sigil]

it took mick well over 2 years to get everything together while he was actively trying to do these things, it has only been half a year for ID to get things together if they are even trying

[marble dagger]

just checking

[sturdy kernel]

does anyone have any advice to not get stuck on enemies while fighting? I was on the second to last battle in Mars Core ML and it felt like most of my deaths were me smooching a shield soldier or getting sandwiched with some imps and hell knights

[slow sigil]

Don't get into positions where they surround you, remember that enemies have hitboxes and you can't dash through them, you can also dask backwards

[vivid nest]

use different strats, like different mods, positions and guns

make use of dashing and double jump, same with vaulting

[flint flame]

Yeah remember you can dash backwards and sideways, and also stay in the air as much as possible using jump pads and meathook

[vivid nest]

dont forget everyones favourite

shooting a big green ball, paired with a red rectangle :D

[sturdy kernel]

jump pads, always forget they are there

[azure oriole]

when doom eternal OST releasing on spotify

[flint flame]

Never lmao

[marble dagger]

kekw

[willow iron]

How complete ultra nightmare?

[azure oriole]

Sweat at the game like you've never sweated before

[midnight sparrow]

Get used to Nightmare first

[willow iron]

Used to.

[wise kiln]

Always forget???

[acoustic lark]

||Don't die.||

[random vault]

so true

[vivid nest]

follow this guys fact he is 101% right
the only reason i beat un on both 2016 and eternal was by this tip

[vivid nest]

i use chrono strike, the other two i dont

[slow sigil]

chrono strike just feels extremely bad to use, saving throw is only handy in UN because it's better to just take a rune that helps you not die

and hell in UN you just pause the game once you're in mortal danger

[jaunty vapor]

Would I rather
A) a rune that allows me to recharge my abilities faster, often giving me more armor via more frequent flame belches, which gives 1 shot protection so I don't die form certain hits
B) a rune that prevents me from dying once, which may have been preventable if I had a more reliable source of armor

[slow sigil]

and chrono strike also just.... doesn't give you anything? sure if your aim is shit it does "something" by giving you more time to aim but... you need to hold right click for uhhhhh rem det rocket?

[jaunty vapor]

Also Chrono is so weird when you use Dblade/Lock On since to avoid using Chrono you need to start charging while on the ground, but Dblade is best when you jump then start charging.

[slow sigil]

nahhhhh just accept that it takes 10 years for dblade to charge with chrono

just move forward

[strange gale]

b-buh what about bulldozing

surely a niche unintended interaction is enough to make the rune relevant

[torn notch]

Does someone knows if the gunpleonist bug was solved?

[flint flame]

Nope lol

[torn notch]

So I won't get the platinum trophy 😞

[rugged path]

can someone tell me why my heavy cannon sounds different

[azure oriole]

It could be faulty

Bring to a repair shop maybe

[flint flame]

Mastered vs not mastered sound different

[minor hornet]

Do you use Bethesda.help thing if a skin ain’t unlocking for you when you complete a milestone?

[zealous mulch]

Me after killing these damn doom hunters (wheelchair users)

[mighty lotus]

Thanks for answering one of my biggest doom eternal questions lol. I hate the older sound effect

But the upgraded one is just 👌

[mighty lotus]

But I usually don't upgrade it till the end because its already really good

[radiant belfry]

How this game run 144 fps on max settings gtx 1660

[slow sigil]

well optimized

[random vault]

optimization

[flint flame]

Me when optimized game is well optimized

[azure oriole]

what

[copper galleon]

Real

[azure oriole]

Lol the switch version doensn't seem super optimized

[copper galleon]

To be expected, puny little child consol shouldn't handle the epic pc'ness of D O O M E T E R N A L

[azure oriole]

yes

It can barely load youtube without freaking out

[copper galleon]

I mean fair enough

[young mango]

Because it’s running on something less powerful than a gt 730, which normally has trouble pushing 10FPS, while the switch port runs at 30FPS most of the time, this is because they optimized it even further

[azure oriole]

what

[copper galleon]

Bro became a dev instantly

[azure oriole]

lol

I never understand how frames and stuff work

[flint flame]

It isn’t that epic ngl

[azure oriole]

nice bait

[copper galleon]

Ye

[acoustic lark]

Given the hardware of the switch, the DOOM Eternal Port is EXTREMELY well optimized.

[azure oriole]

?

[young mango]

I said that but I got met with “what”

[flint flame]

I have no idea what you’re saying

[young mango]

SEE?

[flint flame]

We’re talking to brick walls here

[azure oriole]

lol\

[flint flame]

[random vault]

bro the switch version is INSANELY well optimized for the hardware it’s running on

[azure oriole]

mine pretty much runs on potatoes

[random vault]

consistent 30 fps on a game like eternal on a system like the switch is crazy

[young mango]

In some more active areas ( I’d assume master levels like world spear maybe ) you go under 30FPS and you get infinite dash lol

But yes it’s still highly impressive

[azure oriole]

?

[young mango]

My god.

[young mango]

https://youtu.be/ad1jMmFj1sU

[azure oriole]

Lol

infinite dash seems like a bug

[young mango]

Yes I know

Because it is a bug, it’s not an intended feature

[copper galleon]

Make it an intended feature

[azure oriole]

Big brain move

[copper galleon]

I'll make it happen, trust

[azure oriole]

lol They aren't fixing it, especially with the game not getting anymore updates

[young mango]

To be fair it’s a really niche bug that has no advantageous usecases

[copper galleon]

Wait, NO ANCIENT GODS PRT3???!!!

[azure oriole]

no

And so far there isn't going to be another doom game

[young mango]

Pretty much everything at low framerates is stunted, enemies move way slower and quick switching is also slower

[copper galleon]

Aye there is, there pitching rn I'm sure

They announced it ages ago, a more horror appeal to it

[azure oriole]

what? explain

[copper galleon]

I saw a post that said I'd was pitching ideas to the team to make a new doom game (idk part of the same series) but in a more horror style, like dead space

[azure oriole]

only issue is no more mick gordon

[rugged path]

oh Thanks

But i prefer the older sound

[copper galleon]

What, why?

[azure oriole]

He left for many reasons

it would take a while to explain it

[copper galleon]

Oh shit, that sucks

[azure oriole]

Basically, he was abused for money by marty

he went through quite a bit

[copper galleon]

Damn

He was the best, by far

[azure oriole]

yes

At least the new sound guys aren't that bad

they made some good songs

[copper galleon]

As long as they can keep the consistency of the music style I'll except them

[azure oriole]

agreed

[young mango]

By the way wanderer why are you on an alt?

[warped sage]

“I didn’t quit DOOM. I quit a toxic client.”

[limber cipher]

And that is true

Sadly

[warped sage]

I think they could mix up the formula of DOOM 3 and 64, maybe with a touch of the previous two recent games.

Let’s see what id has in store come December 10.

[robust elk]

Hm

Could there be a way to manually control the fps to use the infi dash when necesary then switch to a normal game?

The only thing i can think of is to have like a chrome session with one thousand tabs and closing it when necesary

Or a way to lag the game and then de-lag it?

[young mango]

Yes people can limit their frames via third party apps

[robust elk]

Can that get accepted?

Like if someone found a way to use the infi dash by lagging their game through another source then de-lag it for the rest of the run, would it get accepted as a valid speedrun?

[young mango]

I think so yes, people like gycnob have limited frames in the past to reduce chances of an immora softlock, but I don’t see the point in it

[robust elk]

Doom eternal Potato%

[dapper yarrow]

any good keybind suggestions?? i need to switch them cause i just use the weapon wheel

[robust elk]

bind them all to the middle mouse button

[dapper yarrow]

ok thanks

[sturdy kernel]

did anyone else find mars core ML far harder than SGN ML?

The second to last battle was handling me for HOURS

[azure oriole]

Mars core ml for me was more an endurance test than anything else

Aside from the last arena I found the difficulty to be quite manageable as far as master levels go

[sturdy kernel]

Strangely it took me days of practice to beat Mars Core ml on Nightmare, yet I managed to get to the tyrant and archvile fight in sgn ml in one sitting

Maybe its because Mars Core required you to be more strategic?

[azure forum]

I feel like some of Mars core encounters are way longer than super gore nest ones

[icy ice]

Especially the last arena

[uncut slate]

Guys

I have a dilemma

I can’t get past the first level of AG PT2 on Ultra

And I have tried for 5 months now. Using everything I know. And I’m still sucking ass

[tacit orchid]

What part do you struggle at the most

[astral sand]

I took a long break from doom but finally reached nekravol pt 2
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[uncut slate]

Number 1 tip that I always keep in mind

[uncut slate]

The mini fight right after the armored baron

😮

[tacit orchid]

With the Doom Hunter? Did you play and get through base game & TAG1?

[uncut slate]

No. I’m just doing TAG2 for the skin

[tacit orchid]

Mhm, there's the answer.

[uncut slate]

I know

[tacit orchid]

Eternal, to as unfortunacy as is, is a game you gotta get the combat flow feel in. It is rewarding once understood though. Highly recommending to start off the base game.

[open badge]

the amount of times on nightmare mode i died to it is insane 💀

what made it worse is I went into it on like 40 shields and 20 health

[tacit orchid]

And to add, you are actually starting on the "easier" of the 2 DLCs. You'd probably have even harder time on TAG1. Odd choicing here indeed.

[uncut slate]

My console?

[uncut slate]

The skin reward looks cool. So yeah I chose that one

Xbox 1 S

[tacit orchid]

Beaten both on UN, TAG1 pre-nerf. Tough time for sure, but doable.

[open badge]

tbh both UN Skins from the dlc's are fire but the unicorn holds a special place forever

[uncut slate]

I KNOW!!!😭😭

I just I do well cause I can avoid most fights but I get overwhelmed so easily

[tacit orchid]

Understandable, but also it's kinda the thing with many games that DLCs expect you got how the base game works.

[uncut slate]

I can just b hop places and avoid avoidable fights

[open badge]

makes sense since battlemode isnt the greatest competitive place for doom

[uncut slate]

Oh I know that I’ve beaten all of the games multiple times on nightmare but somehow UN is like Nightmare but in slayer level steroids

[tacit orchid]

For sure. Have never beaten base on UN ironically enough though haha, cause of the length mainly and way more choking points.

[uncut slate]

Have you seen the TAG2 skin? It’s sick

[open badge]

i think its meant to represent the UN logo but I could be wrong

[tacit orchid]

If you have beaten base game on NM, honestly TAGs shouldn't be that of an issue. But various factors.

[uncut slate]

I can b hop with minor difficulties but other than that it comes easily I just get pressure so hard

True true. My all time fav is the Sentinel

So just shoot

Yeah?

[tacit orchid]

More like think but than don't, it's a mindset you gotta practice to get into.

[open badge]

especially abuse bouncers

[tacit orchid]

Essential learning curve, overthink it at first, than realize you might have been overthinking too much so you just "think" and than the flow just comes with practicing

[open badge]

the 1st few levels are harder considering all you have are pretty weak weapons until the ssg and theres not much bouncers for movement

wait theres a gold sentinel skin-?

there doesnt seem to be one but my best guess is they're confusing the Gold Barbarian from Tag2

if you beat the dlc on extra life mode

[uncut slate]

There’s a zombie skin for the slayer which looks interesting

[open badge]

top tier skin tbh

[uncut slate]

Yeah.

Tho in my opinion Skullface is 1 Sentinel is 2 and that’s bout it. Again my opinion

[warped sage]

Does anyone here quickswap on console?

[uncut slate]

Still can’t do it

[open badge]

I can PB Rocket switch (not as fast as pc ofc), ssg and ballista swtich is a bit hard though

i think what helps to quick switch is if you have one of the guns on opposing angles so each switch you just move the joystick the opposite way

fr

imagine a gold Unicorn skin 💀
