[empty basin]

I'm talking about these

[little spire]

Ah

I won't be able to play these because I play on console

[empty basin]

Yeah unfortunately mods are available to PC only 😔

[little spire]

Kinda sad but I prefer playing on controllers so something for something

[leaden quail]

i dont have the chrono strike rune equipped but time still slows down when i use a mod, is this a bug or am i just seeing things

[turbid vigil]

i typed the meat emoji on a vegan server

[small helm]

so metal

[glossy warren]

combined with my switch hours and ps hours probably somewhere around 200

[turbid vigil]

19.6

[young mango]

Like 1300 something

Hi, doom eternal people

I'm new here and I got a fairly specific question.

I've seen the Doom ETERNAL mod website here at https://wiki.eternalmods.com

I was wondering.. does anyone know what template was used to make it, was it a custom template or... made entirely from scratch?

Its gorgeous btw like... 12/10

[jolly kernel]

the energy waves fired by the Carcass, Whiplash and Tyrant are so difficult to dodge for me

I almost always get hit by those attacks

[leaden quail]

same

[glossy warren]

dashing at the right time works or meathooking to aniother enemy as they have limited turning speed and aerial range

[stable phoenix]

Okay.... is there a specific Doom Eternal modding server?

[slow sigil]

look in the pins of #eternal-modding

[stable phoenix]

Thank you and much appreciated!

[midnight bolt]

BookStack

[stable phoenix]

Much thanks, Velser! Really appreciate the help

[midnight bolt]

Cool, now show me your SvS

[steady fern]

Hello, I have a problem that is that in the mission cultist base specifically in the area where the heart of the base is, just after destroying the lower part of the heart behind you, a door opens that is made of teeth and behind that door there are enemies and when the door opened the enemies killed me and now when I appear at the checkpoint the door does not open I have already restarted the game several times and even the console but it does not solve what could I do other than restart the mission (sorry if I'm speaking very badly, I'm translating this with Google Translate)

[atomic dagger]

sorry nut the only thing i can think of is trying, restart mission/respawn at checkpointt

but

[steady fern]

It's obvious that I've already tried to respawn at the checkpoint so I think there's no other choice.

[warm orbit]

Hello, im new to the server and I have had doom eternal since october 2023 (I think) I bought the franchise bundle on steam because it was on sale, and now I'm in love with the game. I also play beamng drive. For game progress, I just finisghed the cultist base mission and found 14/17 secrets. Just saying hi.

[vale pebble]

Hii enjoy your stay here :3

[warm orbit]

Thanks 🙂

[tacit aspen]

Hello @warm orbit 👋

[warm orbit]

Hi!

[atomic dagger]

hey @warm orbit

[warm orbit]

Hello!

[atomic dagger]

how do you like DOOM

[outer harness]

2k+

have you done tormented earth unbalanced? because im still trying to do balanced on un fun ass mod wit alot of bullshit.

[empty basin]

Uh I tried the balanced version, and I always get stuck at either the buff totem hide-and-seek or the final arena, I never completed it

I don't really like it because those two parts felt very "instant-death" ish

I can't even use the BFG (which I never use ever) because the level doesn't give you that

Maybe the level is balanced around abusing the Chaingun shield and it's my fault for never using it, but I don't think those two parts are really remotely fair

[outer harness]

cant U give yourself the bfg tho I mean i wouldn't be as fun but would be nice to mow down all those enemies for hide and seek totem

[empty basin]

I mean yeah I can but I might as well not play the level at that point

On the other hand, I did play Consumed Earth and completed it like... 5 or 6 times I think? It was a masterpiece of a level and I definitely recommend it more
https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1330

Definitely one of the highest-effort ML mods

[outer harness]

ive played that one 😄 its a great one indeed

[empty basin]

There's a ton of demons but it never felt instant-death-ish like Tormented Earth

[outer harness]

for sure

i like playing the old verison of it sometimes since it kind of more of a challenge but the newer is 10/10

[empty basin]

and Bysior did mention that they're working on a Nekravol ML next, not sure if it's Nekravol 1 or 2 but I'm excited

[outer harness]

oh fr thats sounds awesome

[empty basin]

I have no idea how they made Consumed Earth when the game's modding tools is super limited lol

it made a ton of other ML mods feel low-effort

[outer harness]

i guess

[empty basin]

That part where you enter the red mist and come out to the citadel's entrance portal was just super pog

[glossy warren]

pog in 2024 is crazy

[outer harness]

yep

[azure oriole]

i can’t go onto customise. (ps5) does anyone know a fix?

[azure oriole]

wa

does ANYONE know how to solve the ‘content pending install’ problem

[lucid night]

If you haven't tried already, I would recommend turning your console off then back on, and if that doesn't work then try restarting your console, if you havent already.

[azure oriole]

done that multiple times

there is 0 tutorials

i cant do shit

[vale pebble]

Restart the installation

[azure oriole]

not sure thats a thing you can do on ps5

[vale pebble]

Uninstall the game and reinstall it after

[azure oriole]

okay

i better keep the shit i purchased

[vale pebble]

You should

[azure oriole]

if i dont istg

[vale pebble]

I mean idk how ps works with their games and all

ik Xbox lets you uninstall games and download them later if you bought them

I don't see why ps wouldn't do that

[azure oriole]

ill try

[steady fern]

I literally restarted the mission, I did the whole mission again, I died again in the same place and it closed again💀

[atomic dagger]

[surreal oriole]

how do i get the running up the high score achievement

the one where i need 10 extra lives in my inventory in extra life mode

[vale pebble]

play extra live mode...

[surreal oriole]

so i just go through the level and get 10 extra lives?

[vale pebble]

You just have to beat the campaign with 10 extra lives in your inventory

[surreal oriole]

where do i turn on extra life mode

[vale pebble]

Make a new save file

[surreal oriole]

okay

thanks

[vale pebble]

np <3

[viscid creek]

Hello

[jaunty island]

roughly how dead is doom eternal on switch?

like community wise

[vale pebble]

ppl still play it

If you are looking to play battlemode though it's just as dead as all the other platforms

[jaunty island]

damn, I'm still beating tag 2 but I was hoping I could squeeze out some extra playtime, how's horde? worth it?

[empty basin]

yeah Horde Mode is pretty fun

[azure oriole]

guys can i ask

what are the gamemodes for doom eternal other than campaign?

and are there any quests for this game?

[vale pebble]

milestones yeah

[vale pebble]

Horde mode
Battlemode
Master levels

[azure oriole]

what is master level?

[fallen heart]

theres horde mode which adds highscore system

[vale pebble]

Master levels...

Just tougher levels

You can find them on a campaign save file

[fallen heart]

master levels have harder /end game arsenal / upgrade encounters for you in store

[azure oriole]

are they the same?

[fallen heart]

Cultist Base, Arc Complex, Super Gore Nest, Mars Core & Taras Nabad

[azure oriole]

are these five maps?

[vale pebble]

Yeah

[azure oriole]

ok just finished my first doom eternal playthrough - ultra violence

fun cute game!

||god i have no idea how people play this game on nightmare that shits insane||

[little spire]

Nightmare wasn't that bad

You will die sometimes but it's beatable

[azure oriole]

idk tbh ultra violence at the end just seemed like utter bs

im aware its beatable just man that would be a lot of deaths 🤯

[slow sigil]

NM isn't that hard once you're good enough for jt

[leaden quail]

can u daze a marauder with the heat blast mod

[crimson mantle]

Why does super gore neat seem unfair?

[slow sigil]

Probably cause you're in a to high of a difficulty

[azure oriole]

I beat ultra violence but the icon of sin was very difficult for me

yeah icon of sid was a really horrible fight ngl

But I could just be bad at the fight

[crimson mantle]

I tried it on ultra nightmare got to a small room that spawns 2 giant and 1 doom hunter

And that’s where I gave up

[azure oriole]

yeah the slayer gate is hell

isn’t that arc complex tho?

[crimson mantle]

What’s an ARC?

[azure oriole]

I remember it from my first playthrough it is arc

yeag

the arc complex slayer gate was the first time i was like holy bell this game is hard

I was just surprised by the tyrants

its because : Tyrants: baron of hell: doom hunter

it was extremely fun

Also I'm pretty sure the doom hunter killed itself for me bc I don't remember killing it

very hard asw just because that was the first time i ever vs tyrants

[azure oriole]

Yeah same lmao

but i played it on pc and ps5 it killed its self on pc i glory killed it

The front glory kill is a little bad in my opinion

now this could just be me over panicking and being afraid of dying on my ps5 version of the slayer gate but man i swear his shield regained so quick on arc complex

[slow sigil]

Oh the ML
Mls are supposed to be very hard. They're not called trainee levels

[crimson mantle]

Now the gold shotgun just seems unreachable

[azure oriole]

i tried super gore nest master level yeah it does seem insane

I haven't tried it

each encounter just felt 10 mins long and i did try it on normal mode as well

i just couldnt be asked to redo everything as the encounters were so long that u just had to keep doing long fighte

also is it true that the games harder on higher framerate(

[crimson mantle]

Does anyone run doom on a laptop?

[slow sigil]

It's not even the hardest encounter, once you understand it it's really managable

[azure oriole]

me

i play 30 fps lol

although i have to put my resolution to 1280x 720p and lowest graphic settings

[crimson mantle]

Did you run in to any trouble when you first install the game?

[azure oriole]

uhh i did the gamepass version

[crimson mantle]

Oh

[azure oriole]

no idea about steam

although what is it giving u a error

[crimson mantle]

The game kept using the wrong GPU on my end

[azure oriole]

maybe u need to upgrade ur drives

[crimson mantle]

Done that

It uses the integrated GPU instead of the dedicated one

[azure oriole]

uuhh

i use a inter normal graph i card works fine for me maybe search up graphic settings and see it u can change it

[crimson mantle]

I don’t think there’s an option for it

Oh wait it is on high

But still uses the integrated one

[azure oriole]

even the low graphic settings for eternal look fine

like on my ps5. ray tracing and on lowest graphics i really dont notice much

[crimson mantle]

I play it on Ultra though

Doesn’t consume much. I’m still surprised how optimized the game is

[azure oriole]

yeah the game is very optimized on pc

did not think at all my laptop could run it

[crimson mantle]

What’s your lappy?

[azure oriole]

without a doubt doom 2016 would glory kill my laptop

[azure oriole]

vivobook 3 its just a normal laptop LOL

[empty basin]

Yeah eternal is way more optimized than 2016 from my experience

[little spire]

I died 6 times

[empty basin]

Optimized AAA game is such a rarity nowadays

[azure oriole]

cool dude!!

[crimson mantle]

I can’t tell which model

[little spire]

Ong?

[azure oriole]

congratulations !!

[azure oriole]

not too sure its like 2020

[little spire]

How many times did you die playing ultra violence?

[azure oriole]

hmm lets see lmao

prob like 100? first playthrough no death counter in game

[empty basin]

You can try it on a lower difficulty first, it's called Master Levels for a reason

[little spire]

Wha- did you use a weapon combo, upgrade these weapons, upgrade your health shield?

[azure oriole]

yeah

[crimson mantle]

I did do it on regular nightmare

[azure oriole]

the game its self isnt actually bad on ultra violence till like the end

[little spire]

Hmm how? There is no way you were THAT bad

[empty basin]

Well it is possible

[little spire]

Imo start is the worst

[crimson mantle]

And then gave up at the 2 marauder at the acid floor location

[empty basin]

Everyone has their own learning curve

[vale pebble]

Those hell levels before khan maykr got me

[empty basin]

Oh yeah that part is pretty troublesome, lol

[little spire]

Even my grandpa completed doom eternal on ultra violence

[azure oriole]

my skill issue is out of this world dont try me mortal

[empty basin]

You can try learning the "shoot ballista at feet" tech for marauders
#doom-eternal message

[azure oriole]

The final boss fight was the hardest for me but I'm probably just bad at it

besides souls games im like dogshit at any other game

[crimson mantle]

I thought i was ready playing Nightmare difficulity on my first play through

[little spire]

Dark lord?

[azure oriole]

fps games aint mg strong point

[little spire]

💀 I didn't

[vale pebble]

Dark lord is the easiest boss in the game lol

[azure oriole]

No icon

[little spire]

Doom hunter was easier

I died one time fighting dark lord

[empty basin]

And at the same time he's also the most infuriating one to fight

His fight design was clearly unpolished, unfortunately

[little spire]

Icon wasn't hard the mobs were

[azure oriole]

Yea

[azure oriole]

the his

[empty basin]

Easy way to defeat icon of sin: Use Micro Missiles to deal fast high damage to it

[azure oriole]

no boss is actually hard ors just the 5000 enemies

[empty basin]

Micro missiles melts through the icon

[little spire]

I think the hardest was Samuel makhr. I needed to use predator suit upgrade and still didn't beat him, turned the difficulty down

[azure oriole]

i legit died to gladiator spawning enemies random shits then the actual boss its self

[empty basin]

I assume the part you're struggling is the final phase

[vale pebble]

Seraphim legit took me like 5 hours

[azure oriole]

i think post gladiator os when the game just felt unfair to me

[empty basin]

Try learning SLOB if you can, it's a game changer when dealing with Possessed Demons, or just Super Heavies in general
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_k7ZgLTXXw

Or at least the Precision Bolt + Rocket swap combo

[azure oriole]

I'm playing through the game on nightmare and I'm debating whether I should do the slayer gates or wait to do them

do them!!

for gun no one uses 😁

[empty basin]

They are designed to be completed when you're still progressing on the level, doing them later makes the early ones piss easy

Basically Slayer Gates has the same difficulty of the next level

[azure oriole]

Ok I'll probably do them then

what would yall say is the worse enemy in the game

i legit never used crucible blade unless it was for archvile

Yea

Archvile is annoying imo

[little spire]

I would rather practice ballista+super shotgun, it's way easier and overall does (I think not sure) more damage,

Let's be honest now guys, did you use BFG in hard situation. Me personally I used once on the campaign to test it, and in the ancient gods part 2 also once

[fallen heart]

no its too slow for it

[azure oriole]

Sometimes

[fallen heart]

Precision Bolt Rocket are faster swaps and avg more dmg

[empty basin]

It does more overall yes but it's really really slow
It's what the community used at first but over time people realized how slow it is

Trust me, pb rocket is the way

[little spire]

I've tried to use bolt with rocket launcher and I still couldn't even do it because I'm used it don't need to use scope

[empty basin]

Or pb ssg for close range

[fallen heart]

practice practice practice its a fun combo

[little spire]

Fr? Man I see demon and he disappears after 2-3 shots

I'm used to this combo just because it's the easiest probably

[empty basin]

I never used it other than for the Mars Core challenge lol

[little spire]

Big W right here?

[little spire]

I've tried to use it actually and it's not that bad. The unfortunate part is that the bolt takes long to use if you know what I mean

[azure oriole]

In a mission I tried using the bfg and accidentally hit a single zombie with it

[little spire]

💀💀

[azure oriole]

I got the achievement for it tho

[little spire]

💀

I think I need to do the same

I'm now trying to get the Phobos skin. Imo it's better than the full golden one

[azure oriole]

How do u get it

[little spire]

Which one

[azure oriole]

Phobos

I already know how to get the gold one

[little spire]

Complete the Additional lives mode with 10 lives left

[azure oriole]

Oh yea

[little spire]

More than 10 lives left

I now have 23 and I just got Hayden

[azure oriole]

I can't tell if that's easy or not

And wow

[little spire]

If you play it on easy difficulty it's not

I'm playing on ultra violence for safety reasons

[azure oriole]

How do u deal with the icon

[little spire]

First stage I will try to not loose a single life

And 2nd stage just shoot the hell out of him

I will probably have 30-40 lives

So won't even care

[azure oriole]

Ok

I have a lot of trouble with the icon

[little spire]

I remember that I didn't have

But it was a long time ago

[azure oriole]

I can't break his body parts for some reason

I also find the enemy he spawns very annoying

They killed me more than the actual boss

[little spire]

These were very annoying

[azure oriole]

yeah hes just annoying the enemies he spawns its like the only time ive spammed cruicible blade

u can use the blade to hit his chest too but only when hes doing certain things

[little spire]

I used crucible on his hand

[azure oriole]

How?

chest and hand i think r the only places u can use the sword

[azure oriole]

the attack where he slams his hand on u i think u can use the sword on it

Ok

[crimson mantle]

Is it normal to have input delay?

[azure oriole]

I don't think u should

[little spire]

When he swings his hand you can attack him with your sword

[azure oriole]

Ok I'll try next time I fight him

[narrow mist]

Try putting your display resolution up and down or whatever

[crimson mantle]

it still has it no matter the settings i use

[slow sigil]

depends on how much

[crimson mantle]

100ms i'd say

[empty basin]

You can already fire the PB shot the moment you press the weapon mod hotkey, so you don't have to wait to scope in

and you don't have to aim for the head with it either. If you can then it's good and maybe it's something to practice later on, but you don't have to.

[slow sigil]

if your timing is great the scope won't even move

[empty basin]

yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Ac4wfREaA

you see here sometimes the scope doesn't even move and the PB shot is already fired

PB is probably the most enabling weapon mod out there

[storm bramble]

Anyone want to come play in a PVP group together? We can get together and help each other out with the achievements we need for PVP, two people will do

[storm bramble]

[void kestrel]

Doing a run on ultra-violence, any tips for a fellow slayer?

[outer harness]

whats yall favorite regular base ml?

[ember void]

super gore nest is the best obviously

[grand meadow]

Anyone play co-op mod? Want to play together?

[narrow mist]

i'd like to but i dont know you lol and im not very good at making friends and stuff idk

[grand meadow]

It's fine we just have to play lol

[narrow mist]

hmmmmm

[grand meadow]

I can add you, no need to talk, i invite and then play done

[narrow mist]

maybe later

i'll try to play later

[grand meadow]

Alright

If anybody else is looking for someone to play co-op mod, hit me up

[leaden quail]

STUPID FUCKING KNIGHTS WASTED MY DAMN EXTRA LIVES

[slow sigil]

then don't pick them up lol

[viral breach]

Hi new here! So I've been playing Doom really heavy since the reboot in 2016. I literally have thousands of hours in both titles. And I decided to dive into the community. So what's this community all about?

[narrow mist]

everyones all about doom

[viral breach]

I can't get enough of it. I have them all across all platforms

[tacit aspen]

Hello!

[viral breach]

finally a good greeting. Hello! I wanna know more about the community. So what do you play on and how do you usually play?

[tacit aspen]

Everyone has their own style, I'm on PC. I admire people who can play FPS with a controller

[viral breach]

I just recently built a nice PC. Still getting used to the mouse and keyboard. I've been playing it on controller since it came out

[tacit aspen]

So the opposite way round. Do you play it on the Switch as well?

[viral breach]

yupp. As I said. ALL platforms. But I use a pro controller because my joy cons have drift

[tacit aspen]

Ah OK. Hope you enjoy this community here, people are nice here. In general, lol. Mods are cool

[viral breach]

I hope so. I usually stay away from gaming communities because of the toxicity. but I heard the Doom one is really good

What difficulty do you usually play on?

[tacit aspen]

I'm not through on my Nightmare run yet, I will probably never be able to beat UN. I was so happy when I was able to beat Extra Lives mode on Hurt me Plenty with 25 lives or something like that left

[glossy warren]

bad apples in all of them, this one is no exception

but most people here are chill apart from the occasional troll

[tacit aspen]

How did you think of the name @viral breach ? It made me giggle

[viral breach]

I haven't touched extra lives mode. But I am comfortable on Ultra Violence. I play Nightmare when I want a challenge. Still trying that out

[viral breach]

Its an old nickname. Thanks though

[viral breach]

Yeah every group has a herd of black sheep

[tacit aspen]

Nightmare can be so punishing, before that I never cared much about lava for example, lol

[viral breach]

Lol me neither. Nightmare is tough. I remember way back when I tried it and it took forever to get passed the big arena in Super Gore Nest. Then I went to put the last keys in and the game bugged out from letting me progressing. I was SO not happy

[tacit aspen]

Haha I can understand that. I just tend to replay level 1 with the unlimited extra lives cheat code on before I can progress any further but it eats up more time than it should. I'm just so bad but it's still fun ha

[tacit aspen]

Have you tried Horde Mode yet?

[viral breach]

nope. Just campaign and Battle Mode. Idek what horde mode is

[tacit aspen]

You fight waves of demons

Played through TAG1 and 2 yet?

[viral breach]

sounds fun. I might try that when I play later today

[viral breach]

Yeah. ive been following Eternal since it came out. I pre ordered the deluxe edition. As I said. Big fan

[tacit aspen]

Which skin do you like most?

Slayer skin

[viral breach]

idk the name. But like I'm a huge sucker for black and green. Because Alien is my all time favorite movie. So I really like that one. I really like the classic skin. And the purple alicorn skin. What about you?

[tacit aspen]

You mean the Wetland Warrior? Love Alien too

I like the crimson praetor suit

[viral breach]

I had to look it up. I never saw that one before

[viral breach]

I like that one too. and the Hellforged

[tacit aspen]

You get it as a reward for beating the first two escalation encounters in the expansion, I'm not sure if it was the first or second one

You should have it since you've played through both. lol

[viral breach]

I did it way back when they first came out. On Xbox. I primarily play on my PS5 now and havent touched the DLCs since I got it. I've just been trying to get better before those becuase I remember them not being easy

[viral breach]

I was talking about the series 4 one btw

[tacit aspen]

Good luck then

[viral breach]

lol thanks. like I said. I'm decent. I play on Ultra Violance pretty comfortably

like on Hurt Me Plenty. I'm like 90% sure I can blast through it with just the combat shotgun

I just can't get the quick swapping down on PC

[onyx sedge]

Hi, can i somehow ,,export" my save from doom eternal on XBOX Gamepass (PC) to Steam? i had gamepass for 1month free and today bought Eternal on Steam xD

[viral breach]

I'll double check but I'm assuming its a no

[viral breach]

as I thought. I scoured Google and it all says no. Sorry buddy. Restarting isn't that bad. I've done it like 6 times. I have it on all platforms

If you REALLY wanna keep your stuff, you'll just have to play it through Xbox on your PC

[onyx sedge]

im, at winter Castle, didn even fight 1st boss xD

[onyx sedge]

i have xbox game pass for only 1month soo, and its way more expensive to buy it there, than on steam

[viral breach]

You could always wait for a sale too. I haven't been on Xbox store lately but since its almost four years old I'm sure it will be on sale soon

[onyx sedge]

bought it already on steam so only way is just restart, im not that far in progress soo

[viral breach]

I haven't done this. But if you really want your stuff asap just blast through it on a lower difficulty then play it how you want through mission select

[azure oriole]

I acgually got it on sale i think 2 weeks ago but thr sale is prob over

[viral breach]

Probably. but like I said. its an older game. and its now an Xbox property. I'm sure it will be on sale again soon

[uncut creek]

anybody use full auto just for fun?

[visual glade]

Do you use all the weapons or like me you personalized the weapon wheel?

I have the weapon wheel with only heavy cannon, ballista, rocket launcher and super shotgun

[vale pebble]

Add chaingun to it

[viral breach]

I try to use everything

[snow spear]

Popping in here to say I beat World Spear Master Nightmare last night after many on and off attempts.💀🎉

[viral breach]

Great job bro

[snow spear]

Also on PS5. Controller gang 😎

I was watching a lot of videos and on this discord a lot when new stuff was releasing, hoping ids next game brings us all even closer (to our breaking point)

[viral breach]

I play on PS5 mostly. wanna be friends?

[visual glade]

Idk. I can quickswap well because I already know on which slot I put each weapon and I put the press timing of the weapon wheel to the fastest as soon as I press the button

[snow spear]

Unfortunately I have already uninstalled DE and dont play many MP games. PSN id is my discord name if you still wanna add!

[viral breach]

I so will! And my PS is the same as my Discord. I dont play MP games either so we are the same

so did you remap any buttons like I did?

[young mango]

Congrats

[snow spear]

No remaps, its been a long time since I looked at any settings but I know I used SMVR's settings as a starting point and made adjustments over time. Runes are fast glorykill, speedboost after glorykill, and equipment fiend.

[viral breach]

My remaps are really weird. Jump is L1, Grenade is X, Dash is L3, and Circle is combat shotgun

[snow spear]

Oh, bomb change is on L3. It's a disaster if I spaz out and mush the stick but if I keep cool it works well.

[glossy warren]

I use default

[viral breach]

I wanted all of the movement on 1 hand. And dash is like sprint to me. and in most games that's pushing in L3. The bomb on there sounds cool though

[snow spear]

Yeah my right hand probably looks like a very bad game of DDR but 600+ hours is hard to unlearn lol

[viral breach]

I totally agree. I have literally thousands of hours in both games

[fair mirage]

holy shit finally beat this dark lord hoe

this guy so annoying tbh

[viral breach]

I really liked it. It was like fighting yourself. Or another Slayer

[fair mirage]

i didnt like it

[viral breach]

And that's fine. I'm not gonna be 1 of those dudes who says you're wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I thought it was an awesome concept

[fair mirage]

his green daze thingy was appearing too long apart

[slow sigil]

Lol what, in what way

[viral breach]

In all of the strategy of getting around his defenses

[slow sigil]

I didn't know doomguy needed a suit the size of a tyrant.
That he was slow.
That he couldn't be hit unless he made 1 specific move.
That he fought primary with melee weapons.
That he gets healed if shot at the wrong time.
That he summons extra creatures to help.

[viral breach]

dude I haven't done it since it came out. I just remember that being my reaction. Go easy on me

[slow sigil]

You probably over romanticised him, hoping he was more then he ended up being

[viral breach]

Its possible. I remember before that telling myself I haven't seen a good boss fight in a LONG time. And that was true again until God of War Ragnarok

[young mango]

when the speed of the bossfight is dependent on the difficulty😢

[strange gale]

strategy = i stand around until he does the thing and i get a damage phase (each damage phase is hard capped to 50% of his current healthbar because fuck you)

[young mango]

TAG2 is so good but dark Lord is so mid

[strange gale]

all you can really do to expedite that fight is to hit the damage hard cap each time he does the thing

there's barely any skill expression in it

[glossy warren]

tag2 isnt that good

[young mango]

The cap becomes all the more obvious when you see a speedrunner straight up bulldozer davoth and it take half his health bar only

[viral breach]

lol I haven't seen that. but sounds funny

[young mango]

6.66 added so many unnecessary extra encounters to TAG2 because people kept complaining

Makes running current patch speedruns an outright nuisance

[viral breach]

Like what? I haven't played any expansion since it came out

[slow sigil]

that's exacty how the demons feel like bro. doomguy ingame is known to just stand still and be completely invulnerable

[visual glade]

Why do most people shit on Doom Eternal bossfights?

[vale pebble]

I think it's because of how easily you can cheese them now that players have discovered so many ways to kill them quickly

[visual glade]

Oh...so...just because they got better the bossfights suck?

[vale pebble]

That's just my assumption

[viral breach]

I liked them. Especially Gladiator. And I liked that they became regular enemies later because fuck you

[young mango]

Well I don’t know many skips that were patched out but i Can name encounters that changed, first off they changed the first major arena to be doom hunters instead of imps ( skippable in restricted anyways ), they added a hell knight in the two whiplash arena, the quad damage arena adds a baron, the outside snow arena adds two mancubi and one cyber mancubus, reclaimed earth adds extra enemies outside before you activate the switch ( still skippable lol ) extra enemies added in the lead up to the final arena, final arena has an entire extra wave added, immora goes largely unchanged as far as I know

[visual glade]

So using this logic, Dark Souls bosses suck because I have 500 hours in the game and I can beat them easily

Honestly Gladiator and Marauder are good bosses

[viral breach]

I can see why other people get mad about it. But I like it sounds challenging

[strange gale]

only one of those is a boss

[vale pebble]

lol

[vale pebble]

Marauder is just a super heavy demon

[visual glade]

I mean, in a lot of games bosses become common enemies

[slow sigil]

cause only 3 don't totally suck lol

[strange gale]

by the time the marauder shows up, you can already 0 cycle him

[slow sigil]

only 1, the marauder isn't realyl a boss as much as an enemy presented as a boss

[narrow mist]

so i finally made it to the end of the ancient gods 2

i dont get why people said it wasnt as good as the first part and stuff. they're both the same level of quality imo. just part 1 was longer

[visual glade]

I think it's because on release it was rushed

[slow sigil]

mostly from launch. IDK much from after the rework but tag2 laucnh deserves the flack

[narrow mist]

oh okay

i really really hate it when games have to be rushed and stuff

[slow sigil]

story still sucks though

[narrow mist]

but from what i've played of the rework or whatever, it was really good

[visual glade]

For example most of the helmets were the default one in the final cutscene when the Doom Slayer removes the helmet

[young mango]

Here’s why people shit on doom eternal bosses:
First boss, the doom hunter, an overdesigned mess with several weaknesses even though all can be mitigated just by aiming at his sled, and an unnecessary animation during the transition of phases where he’s completely invincible, this used to apply to the regular variants as well until 6.66
Marauder ( not really a boss ) is the second, and it is also an overdesigned mess, literally has waiting as a mechanic for the fight, and even then you can thankfully bypass that.
Gladiator is quite literally just another marauder with more hp and the second phase is just shooting it a lot because it has like 25000hp or something absurd.
Khan maykr is bad because her attacks don’t do much and you can pretty much beat her under 1 minute consistently if you’re good at the game.
Icon of sin is alright but patch 2.0 they added forced attack animations inbetween his armor breaking, meaning even if you somehow manage to one shot him you still have to sit through 2 minutes of animations

[visual glade]

Bruh, Doom isn't for the story

[narrow mist]

i liked the story tbh

[slow sigil]

doens't mean i can't point to it when it sucks even for it's own standards

if it wasn't about the story there wouldn't be a story

[narrow mist]

i think its pretty cool

[vale pebble]

Hm I wonder why they put so much work into the story then...

Bro a lot of people like doom lore

[visual glade]

You are confusing lore and story

[narrow mist]

but my god the combat music in immora is so much lol. like its really good and such but its just so much and im the person who puts the volume for everything to like 12 and have music volume at 100

because i looooove the music in this game

[visual glade]

Story is just "shoot your creator and save the world"

[slow sigil]

they're so interconnected you can't talk about 1 without showing the other

[viral breach]

I've only done that with Doom, Killer Instinct, (see the pattern there?) and Guilty Gear

[vale pebble]

Some people play it for the story and don't like it much because the story does kinda suck idk

[narrow mist]

but immora is way too much at once for my ears. i hope that i grow to be able to actually hear the rythm and notes and stuff

[visual glade]

I never opened codex and I enjoy the game without thinking a lot about the story

[narrow mist]

anyway

[vale pebble]

#doom-eternal message

[slow sigil]

very cool for you
it still sucks ass

[young mango]

The story is just way too ambitious, it’s like people playing DnD but they keep coming up with plot twists and shit along the way

[narrow mist]

i put music volume up for literally every game i play lol

[visual glade]

In my opinion it's wrong

For these type of games

If you expect Doom to have a good story you have chosen the wrong game

[narrow mist]

even for doom 64 and quake

[vale pebble]

Ig but dnd is actually fun lol

[slow sigil]

i expect doom to adhere to it's own standards
basegame was fine, tag1 was fine, tag2 hit the bucket

[visual glade]

In a way it's sorta in style because Doom was inspired by a DnD campaign lol

[viral breach]

I only do it for beast soundtracks. FF7 has great music. but I don't do it for that

[narrow mist]

okay

im gonna go now, you all have fun or whatever

[strange gale]

because they fall roughly into 2 categories:

1. shoehorned invincibility that forces you to wait around while practically nothing happens (the game promotes proactive gameplay while these bosses either stop that in its tracks entirely, or in cases like the gladiator it's just not worth it to try playing outside of the traffic light game)

2. glorified cutscenes

[slow sigil]

i like how they went into the right direction with samur, with more arena styles bossfights. Only to just shit on the concept entirely with davoth

[vale pebble]

A lot of people enjoy games for their stories, the first campaign was fine but them tag got complicated

[slow sigil]

complicated won't make something bad though
redconning stuff does...

[young mango]

I saw some guy come in complaining the other day that he couldn’t kill samur because he was trying to kill him during the spirit phase

[visual glade]

And I get it

But I don't take Doom story too seriously

It's not something too story based

[viral breach]

People don't play Doom for the story. People play FF and other RPGs for the story

[slow sigil]

i don't play games for the graphics but i still point out just bad graphics when i see them

[viral breach]

Same here. Especially since good graphics is kinda standard now

[visual glade]

I mean yeah, but if it's not the focus it's passable. It's not like it's Red Dead Redemption or any of those story driven games

[slow sigil]

it's not really passable if you even read anything about it lol

[viral breach]

the only thing I remember reading is how good pinkies must taste

[vale pebble]

I enjoy games with like PS2 graphics with a good story that had time put into it
I hate how devs only care for graphics now

[visual glade]

It's Doom bro, I just want good level design, music and gameplay

[slow sigil]

ps2 graphics aren't necessary bad graphics though

[viral breach]

Here here

[visual glade]

Not every game has to have a good story

[slow sigil]

you're really not reading what i'm saying aren't you

[vale pebble]

It's just an example that older graphics are still good and that devs don't have to put that much work into graphics and instead work on stories

[slow sigil]

idc if the story is mediocre, i just don't want it to write itself into dead ends and redcons

but apparently that's "good story" instead of "ok story" or "passable story"

[visual glade]

I never said that the story was good

[slow sigil]

no you basically said i couldn't give critique about it like it's somehow magically immune just because it's not put on a pedestal in ID HQ

[slow sigil]

graphic artists aren't storyboarders atleast so nothing is really wasted

[vale pebble]

Ig that's fair

[visual glade]

I don't say you can't critique it, but that it's not important if it sucks or not because it's not that type of game

[slow sigil]

Except that it means bigger teams which slower production, and money is spend elsewhere cause it's spend on graphics designers. But studios looking solely on "studio size" and "how can i minimize expenses" don't produce actual good games anyways as they are too corporate led

[cosmic mauve]

When does the event end

[empty basin]

I don't blame you, I think Immora is the most "intense" OST out of all the OSTs in the game

It's full of chaos and noises and chants, really makes it an OST worthy of war

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsoGcR5AqO0&list=PLAwkDjVcJePhau6C4xNcJkHGqt9S_pu19&index=21&ab_channel=SPCHC
I listen to the one from SPC HC's channel and combining all the Immora OSTs ended up making it 26 mins long which is just hilarious, but it's worth it since all the songs just flows to each other really well

[glossy warren]

watch levy's breakdown of immora on his channel

youll appreciate it a lot more

[neon socket]

Gonna go play extra lives and go get the Phobos skin, wish me luck

[zinc anvil]

Every time I play doom eternal I get more confused on why they added doom slayer to fortnite

[median crag]

im having so much problems with enemies that are weak to blood punch, i never have enough bps, the fodder enemies die instantly so i cant get glory kills off them, any advice?

[glossy warren]

are you using the ballista on them or something

[median crag]

i usually meathook ssg them to get armor, almost every weapon i have one shots them

[glossy warren]

3-4 shots to the body from plasma rifle or heavy cannon should put them into gk mode

[median crag]

seems really precise to do in the heat of battle, ill try

also for some reason i die everytime i try to bloodpunch a cyber manc

doing world spear ML on ps5, lol

[glossy warren]

from the aoe shockwave they do?

[random vault]

popular video game character from 1 game

put inside a different popular video game

and sold for money

means video game maker make money

[vale pebble]

Because the doomslayer is cool in Fortnite

[median crag]

does sentinel hammer work on possessed demons?

[somber crystal]

Getting rusty in the game really hits me hard.

I don't know if it had something to do with me playing the game on the nightmare difficulty but I always keep dying over and over at the slayer gates in mars core.

top it up with the computer not being strong enough to play the game properly

[young mango]

Wats ur specs

You gotta have one fucked up computer to not be able to run doom eternal at at least 60FPS

[young mango]

1050 ti Is min system req

[somber crystal]

My processor is AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.70 GHz.

[young mango]

a laptop, that explains a lot

[somber crystal]

I have a 16 GB ram and a 75 hertz monitor

I was able to play the game at 60 fps on low graphics

[young mango]

I remember first time i played doom eternal i was fucking with integrated graphics as well, custom downscaled my res to 486p just to hit 40FPS

[somber crystal]

but I believe I should play the game at 100 fps.

the controls are more reactive that way

I'll buy a better computer someday

[young mango]

Low graphics is pretty much the doom eternal meta, but extra advice, turn reflection and particles quality to ultra nightmare if you can, reflections makes the game look better and particle quality makes enemies spawn in more visible, both having negligible effects on performance

[somber crystal]

You can set them on low iirc.

I could be wrong though. Gotta get back to the game to see if I could.

[small helm]

For real, I wasn't ready for Immora. I was blown the fuck away when i reached the platform with 2 marauders and then heavy fighting part kicked in obliterating all and any expectations i had.

[empty basin]

The double Marauder Screecher fight is the rare example of TAG2 actually having the difficulty of a second DLC

[young mango]

I did the math once, screeched marauders have something absurd like the health equivalent to 26000 health

[young mango]

Person I used to know was playing a custom master level and he kept setting the screechers off on purpose and getting his ass kicked by the marauder, dude must’ve died like 50 times on stream I shit you not

[empty basin]

Isn't that just what being rusty does to you?

[somber crystal]

fair enough

[inland widget]

Welp, Taras Nabad master level done again. Didn't panic once but my hands hurt, again

[young mango]

nice, what difficulty/mode?

[inland widget]

Hurt me Plenty

I've tried Ultra Violence runs but I just got super frustrated

It turns out that the Microwave Beam is actually very useful

I vastly prefer the Stun Bomb from 2016, and yes, you heard it from me

[young mango]

That’s not that bad of an opinion, stun bomb was very useful, and microwave beam is obsolete

[inland widget]

The Microwave Beam is hilarious when you finish off a Superheavy demon and it explodes

Outside of just temporary stun locking to get off an Ice Bomb though I really see no use

[young mango]

Microwave beam might actually be useful if there was an incentive for this in specific, microwave beaming them when they’re staggered takes them out of stagger so they gain some health back, ontop of that the shockwave from microwave beam is pitiful, even on superheavies it only deals 600 damage, for reference, an enemy like like a prowler has 1000 health

[inland widget]

Oh it actually resets a stagger?

I didn't actually know that

[empty basin]

Yeah so you get this weird conondrum where it's not bad to use as a finisher on a low-health Heavy or Super Heavy Demon, but you can't use it on the demons who are glowing and holding the sign of "Target me! Target me!"

The strat is a neat and cool idea but on the vanilla game it basically forces you to remember all sort of damage sources from all your weapons and the enemy's HP, or else you basically waste your time being massively slowed down with the movement speed and dash modifiers it has while dealing super slow damage

[young mango]

I’d like if microwave beams explosion had an equivalent blast damage to the amount of microwave beam ammo you used on the superheavy, so 50 ammos worth could give you 2500 damage

[empty basin]

I made a microwave beam mod that makes it significantly better and I've been using it as combo finishers way more with it
https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1452

[young mango]

And killing spirits would be a lot more rewarding because it’d be like 3250 blast damage

[empty basin]

oh come on it's two links

[young mango]

But let’s be honest microwave beam could deal infinite damage and it’d still be bad to use simply because of how clunky it is

[inland widget]

It's designed for single target usage. If you string multiple targets you just waste ammo, and it's a situation where something like Full Auto or a Destroyer Blade

[empty basin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/772588531415384086/1194539902751227904/1452-1704006423-922246548.png

there we go I can finally post the freaking thing

[young mango]

Destroyer blade on a single target? It’s multipurpose

[inland widget]

That seems kind of curious really but I still think it's kind of niche, again because single target damage etc. If the burst radius was much better or it chain stunned like the Mastered Stun Bomb did in 2016, then I could see it being more widely usable

[young mango]

It has a long as fuck travel time, is wide as hell, and passes through enemies, using it for exclusively single target is actually a waste

[inland widget]

I should clarify, I meant chaining multiple targets

[empty basin]

Arbalest is a much better example for ST damage I'm pretty sure

[inland widget]

Not single target usage. Single target is like, you can use anything lmao

I just use Arbalest for Cacodemons

Or if I want to combo a Marauder

[empty basin]

Arbalest I only really use if I'm trying to be fancy and not waste Rockets on Pain Elementals

[empty basin]

Also the blast radius for beaming a Super Heavy is only 10 meters lol

[young mango]

If you use the vanilla as a baseline this means microwave beam deals 60.1 damage per cell

[inland widget]

Well I was more like, yeah it's hilarious when things line up

[empty basin]

It has a bunch of different damage scaling against all demons

[inland widget]

but honestly they could replace it with the Stun Bomb and I probably wouldn't notice something was off

[empty basin]

which makes its damage super inconsistent between demons basically

[empty basin]

also the blast damage here is only 600 kek

so much time, ammo and risk spent for so little

[inland widget]

As for the Heat Blast, I mean, its like, hey you ever wanted to make a bunch of shields and demons disappear?
Bingo!

[young mango]

Hate to break it to you but marauders have a resistance towards arbalest for some reason, normally it deals 1600, on marauders it deals 900

[inland widget]

The direct damage or the blast?

[empty basin]

the total damage

[young mango]

That’s the combined total of the direct damage and the blast, the splash deals 600 and the direct deals 300

[inland widget]

Bruh

So it's better to just hit him directly with a heavy weapon while tossing two grenades simultaneously?

[empty basin]

yeah compared to a normal Ballista shot, which is 860 damage, you basically only get a 40 extra damage against him

oh wait nvm the damage also got nerfed to 750

but still not a meaningful increase when taking in the charge time

[young mango]

Not to mention the shot that staggers the marauder also deals less damage, and there’s no way you’re charging up an arbalest mid stagger

[inland widget]

But it's still useful for increasing the stun duration right?

[young mango]

No

[empty basin]

It doesn't increase the stun duration

People only do that early on because they thought it deals much more damage compared to a normal Ballista shot against him, and also because it looks fancy

but you basically get a tunnel vision from using it, and Marauders are already tunnel vision-enducing enough as is

[inland widget]

So then in terms of one or two cycling Marauders what would be more optimal?

[empty basin]

the normal Ballista shot

you'd still two-cycle with the Arbalest I'm pretty sure

so might as well not waste your time

[young mango]

Well since the opening shot doesn’t really matter since it never deals full damage so hit him with a weak burst weapon like the precision bolt then switch to a weapon that deals a lot of damage all at once like the super shotgun, and quickswitch between that and another high damage weapon

[empty basin]

PB SSG/Ballista is key

[inland widget]

I have been trying that. I can get clean two or three cycles using just SSG plus Ballista

but what about Grenades

[empty basin]

SSG Ballista is an outdated method really

PB + SSG/Ballista is better

[young mango]

Still decent for beginners tho

[empty basin]

oh yeah it definitely is

[inland widget]

Also convenient

But I'll definitely give PB then swapping to SSG / Ballista a shot

But then that makes me wonder two separate things. One, why does the Marauder suffer reduced damage from the Arbalest, and two, what about the Lock on Burst?

[empty basin]

Basically enemies can have damage resistances to certain types of damage, or certain damage values can have damage scaling to certain enemies

For example, the Icon of Sin has 60% damage resistance to Mobile Turret

[inland widget]

....well, that's a little awkward

[empty basin]

behold the monstrosity that is Microwave Beam's damage scaling values
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/772588531415384086/1194546270522589224/image.png

for example, damageScalar = 0.100000001 means that the damage dealt to said enemy is only 10.0000001%

so the enemy has 90% damage resistance to said damage

at least it deals 90% damage to Tyrants and 120% to Cyber Mancubi so yay

[inland widget]

Microwave Beam when I Blood Punch + LOB a Cyber Mancubus instead

[empty basin]

Marauders take 28.5% less damage from Lock-On Burst, but it's less of a problem as LOB's base damage is 2700, so you still deal 2025 damage to Marauders with it.

Assuming all 3 rockets hit of course.

[inland widget]

What is a Marauder's base health anyways

[empty basin]

5000

[inland widget]

Hmm...

[empty basin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/465236787850248202/1191397274614517820/2024-01-01_18-05-38_compressed.mp4

The timing is pretty tight though

I used to be able to do this consistently but somehow I lost the skill to do it somewhere along the way

[young mango]

Oh shit you use the game files? I’ve been using that one speedrun document for the longest time

[empty basin]

Oh I mean it's not really hard to access, I just follow the steps from the modding wiki when I was creating my first ever mod
https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/2-how-to-create-mods/chapter/general-information

[inland widget]

We all get rusty somehow I suppose.

[empty basin]

https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1432

Learned modding just to make this at first

[empty basin]

and I use the spreadsheet also, much more intuitive and convenient than scrounging through the super messy files that DE has

just pulled that image to show how absurd the state of microwave beam is

[midnight bolt]

Show me how to mod this game

[azure oriole]

It’s not like we have a #eternal-modding channel or anything

[little spire]

Thanks man

[heavy minnow]

has anyone 100% this game

been on a 24 hour grind just wondering

[leaden quail]

yea

[zinc anvil]

But theres so much gore in doom

[vale pebble]

Money is money

I love that the doom slayer is in fortntie it's very cool

[zinc anvil]

Also geralt of rivia confuses me more

I got this game on PlayStation plus

[visual glade]

I have to complete Arc Complex and Doom Hunter Base and I 100%ed Doom Eternal

(main game only)

[short smelt]

how do you get the hot rod slayer skin now?

[wheat vigil]

you don't

[short smelt]

so thats it

what a shame

[vale pebble]

It was a horde mode thing

it's a mid skin imo though lol

[short smelt]

yeah it is

im just trying to collect all the skins

slayer skins

[vale pebble]

I think there are like 4 skins that are unlockable now

[wheat vigil]

there are plenty of cosmetics that are no longer obtainable

[short smelt]

i have done all the milestones for everything but multiplayer

its just the extra skins now

[short smelt]

what do you mean?

[vale pebble]

I believe it was a skin you can get for playing horde mode

I may be thinking of another skin hold on

[short smelt]

how long ago

lux?

[vale pebble]

Nvm the hot rod skin was a battlepass I think mb

I was thinking of one of the biker skins

[short smelt]

bro said battlepass 💀

[vale pebble]

Event or battle pass same thing

[short smelt]

would be great if doom eternal saved cross platform

i need to wait for 6 more month if i want to get the obtainable skins

this is how i one-cycle marauders

less stylish tho ol

[glossy warren]

as a console player I will take that to heart

[short smelt]

anyone down for some battle mode?

[hot tree]

Just done beating the dark lord (ultra violence) and is one of the worst boss fight ive ever played

AG pt1 was tough af but at least it depended on my skill level instead of some bullshit marauder-like mechanic. And i loved the marauders but this one just plain sucked ass

[glossy warren]

general opinion of dark lord yep

[atomic tusk]

Anyone having trouble with multiplayer

I am getting unkown error occured try again later

if anyone have solution please help me

[slow sigil]

theres probs worse bosses in other games but yeah davoth is the absolutely worst boss ingame and completely anathema to the design philosophy of eternal

[empty basin]

They definitely tried to make it a "mirror match" style boss fight with him also healing in-combat, but didn't playtest and polish the concept too throughly

and also that all 6 phases are the exact same, lol

[slow sigil]

i wouldn't even say they tried doing that. They might have had the idea but literally nothing of davoth ever signifies that

[empty basin]

Bosses are already not Doom Eternal's strong suit but somehow Davoth went above and beyond in terms of how bad DE bosses can be

[slow sigil]

all they really had to do was incorperate an actual arena and then just put in a "special target" inside of it...

but no, you know what this fast paced arena shooter needs??? A giant flat circle where you fight a singular dude where you just wait around untill the game allows you to progress

[empty basin]

I mean I don't think Arena design is really what's wrong with it, it's just the boss battle design in particular

[slow sigil]

one of many extreme letdowns

[empty basin]

Especially against a bigger-than-human-size boss (but not gigantic like the Icon of Sin), I'm pretty sure almost all bosses in FPS games are set in a flat arena, with Ultrakill being the obvious example, and the bosses in that game are really good compared to Eternal's.

Like I said, it's just the boss battle design in particular that's the issue.

tbh I'm not really sure how else they could do it, Eternal's combat loop of resource management means that they need to put fodders to chainsaw in boss fights for the "resource management" to stay in the combat loop, or else I suppose that they were fearing that the bosses and the normal enemy encounters can feel like two different games entirely

[slow sigil]

yeah i kinda halfforgot but resource management is why i think singular bosses don't really work that well...

but i also don't like zombies that much anyways so eh

[empty basin]

The Dark Lord gives you ammo when you use the Hammer, but to get the hammer charge (unless you got lucky and managed to one/two-cycle him consistently) then you sort of need to GK the fodder zombies around the arena

[atomic tusk]

??

In online

[slow sigil]

idk try techhelp

[slow sigil]

the dogs give back hammer charges

if you really want you can kinda just let them live untill he opens up lol

[empty basin]

oh yeah they do, but then there's the other issue of HP/Armor stacks management

[slow sigil]

don't get hit dummy

[cosmic mauve]

When does the event end?

[young mango]

There should be a timer on the events tab telling you how many days are left

[full ether]

True

I mean I'm waiting for the next event so I can get it over and done with

[slow sigil]

So you're not playing the game to have fun but just to grind? Sounds shit

[leaden quail]

doomguy with a mullet as a skin would make my year better

nvm

[young mango]

who’s gonna tell him

[full ether]

Bruh I play the game for fun and the skin's

I mean I'm not that guy who just trys to grind for the "epic shit" and wast money on some stupid skin

[little vine]

any tips

Im new in DOOM

Im in the cultists base and I keep dying by those fat demons with the flamethrowers

[glossy warren]

The Mancubi, of course

If you get too close they either flamethrower you or do an aoe ground slam, from far they shoot you with argent energy

Shoot their arm cannons with the shotgun grenade or the heavy cannon scope to destroy them, it nerfs them a ton

[little vine]

i have the shotgun, heavy cannon with the scope, the plasma rifle and the rpg

[little vine]

should i use the scoped in heavy cannon

[glossy warren]

Yea it works

[little vine]

im tryna get the super shotgun

[glossy warren]

You get it pretty soon

Just need to chug through the rest of the level 🫡

[little vine]

is it good???

the super shotgun??

[glossy warren]

Yea it is

Especially with its ability (no spoilers)

[little vine]

is the automatic shotgun better than stickybombs?

im currently using the stickybombs

[full ether]

Depends on what demon it is

Is it a heavy demon ?

[little vine]

yes

[glossy warren]

Automatic is good but it chews through ammo, stickybombs are better for singular enemies or weak points like the mancubi cannons

[little vine]

im struggling killing multiple manacubi in this one part

but should i use the heavy cannon for its cannons

[full ether]

Well use grenade launcher

[glossy warren]

Heavy cannon is good for weak points

[full ether]

Sticky are good

Plus the sound of the weak point breaking is cash money if you ask me

[little vine]

ok

[full ether]

Wait what level are you on or is it dlc your playing

[little vine]

im like in the cultists base

[full ether]

Oh alright then just wondering

[little vine]

ok

[full ether]

Good luck

I'm late AF but what are "boosters"? I was surprised after having an update start downloading when entering the game. Big also, they didn't fix the in game achievements right? Wich bugs did it fix, other than performance improvements.

I read boosters were removed.

[glass dagger]

Throughout most of Eternal's lifespan you could add up to three other Battlemode players as boosters after matching with them. Whenever those players would earn xp you would receive a fraction of it, which would contribute to your progress on the current event

[azure oriole]

For what reason did they remove it? Also, i've watched your videos, it's lovely that you're still active in the community, thank you.

[glass dagger]

I'm honestly not sure, I don't think a reason was ever give. And thank you

[little jacinth]

hello

[full ether]

any one know how to change your weapon view model on xbox

i mean it would be nice and useful...

[full ether]

no one ?

okay...

[glass dagger]

Are you trying to switch weapon poses?

[full ether]

hold on let me pull up the commmand

hands_fovscale 1

does it work for the Xbox version ?

[glass dagger]

What does the command do?

[full ether]

bruh

let me link the vid -_-

bruh

links dont work

you know what

fucking forget about it

[glass dagger]

lmao

[full ether]

you know i care for the devs but this is none scene making a command that does not work for xbox i mean bruh

[little jacinth]

ik how to do it on switch

yes i do play on switch

[azure oriole]

Alr, np.

[azure oriole]

How does it fair after the update? I have stuttering here and there even now on PS4 Pro, maybe i need to delete a game, but i have like a hundo gigs or so free if i remember correctly.

[crude arch]

I feel like I just experienced a fever dream.

I just saw.

The Doomslayer rode a 🦆ing DRAGON.

[azure oriole]

Tag 2 right, only one i've managed to UN.

I'm begining to think i couldn't beat UN on the other parts because i had lowered the sound fxs to 75 keeping everything else at 100 (with main volume lowered a bit) and i couldn't hear the audio cues for in-game stuff. I'm both a huge fan of music and my dad said the game was annoyingly loud too. I'd done this with DBFZ as well and i believe now that i can hear sound cues i'm actually way better at these games, since you react to sound way faster than visual stuff and doom eternal has so much stuff you've got to look out for all the time.

I actually wasn't aware of some cooldowns here and there and not using your arsenal to your fullest is usually a death sentence, but for me it's always been really hard to keep up with the amount of cooldowns, ammo, both grenades, flame belch, shield etc.

Although i've beaten all master levels but UN the world spear and the teal chrome one.

[wheat vigil]

You can't use console commands or mod the game on console....and that goes for the console ports of pretty much every modern video game out there. Not sure what you were expecting

[full ether]

@wheat vigil dude i play the Xbox version on pc

[wheat vigil]

oh, you mean on gamepass

99% of the game's console commands are locked by default - and you need to unlock your console to get access to them. This can be done by just installing the mod injector

Unfortunately, modding the game is more finnicky on gamepass than on Steam, so you might want to join the modding discords and consult the guides they have there for installing it

[full ether]

well thanks for the tip

[neon socket]

Just beat extra lives mode and got Phobos

[azure oriole]

doomicorn is the best slayer skin, change my mind.

[jolly igloo]

I imagine the perfect doom movie would be a mix of classic doom, doom 3 and doom 2016 in terms of visuals and tone

[slow sigil]

Blame the console manafacturers not giving you any freedomn lol

[vivid scroll]

[azure oriole]

nuh uh

[dry cloak]

Been playing some doom eternal again recently. playing through the game again trying to get my fundamentals down and trying to remember things.

[balmy rain]

Samur is the hardest boss for me, what do you think?

Well, I have beaten him only 2 times, so having less experience may be the problem too

The last time (3 days ago or so) I needed at least 30 tries

[young mango]

A lot of people would agree

[balmy rain]

I hate spirits in this game

Spirit Dread Knight and dark Cacodemon (I forgot the actual name) was the hardest part

[young mango]

I would agree on that as well, I don’t like locking down on a spirit with one of the worst mods in the game, it’s why speedruns often just ignore spirits and kill enemies before they get possessed

But of course you can’t do that in the samur fight because killing the spirits is required to end the wave

[balmy rain]

It also makes ammo management way harder since you need to waste a lot of ammo on a spirited demon

And on top of that microwave beam takes a lot of ammo too

[balmy rain]

That's new to me, I might try it

[young mango]

Yea tbh locking down an enemy for like 5 whole seconds just to dispense 65 ammo is wild, painfully slow

a feature that was reverted ( for some reason ) that could’ve been useful for current parch speedruns is that on “I’m too young to die” chainsawing enemies gave you all of your ammo back instead of the set amount

[balmy rain]

I mostly use SSG + Ballista on a spirited demon. PB + Sticky bomb is too hard to use while a F-ING (damn, I forgot the name, it's a super heavy demon that is like Dread Knight pro max version) IS HUNTING ME DOWN

Knockback from ballista is a great bonus to gain more speed

[young mango]

Baron of hell

[balmy rain]

yeah

[young mango]

Hey man that’s some nice strats, a lot of people use ballista boosting

[balmy rain]

I thought that Baron was that super heavy which goes pow-pow-pow with its hands

I no longer remember demons' names

[young mango]

Well the tyrant has a lazer, is that what you’re thinking about?

[balmy rain]

I haven't played the game for many months and I returned to it not so long ago

[balmy rain]

yes

I used to play the game "not on Steam" (if you know what I'm saying 🏴‍☠️), I only have like 12 hours on Steam while I have hundreds on the other. I bought Deluxe Edition on winter sale

Are oni skins (samurai themed) just level-up rewards or is there some kind of event?

DOOM Eternal bosses ranked difficulty wise:

Samur > Davoth > Gladiator = Icon of Sin > Khan Maykr

[fallen heart]

Gladiator?

[slow sigil]

Davoth that high? He's literally a big marauder

[empty basin]

I'd assume he's difficult because of how annoying he is

[balmy rain]

The other two are that easy and I don't really have much experience in TAG

[balmy rain]

I forgor, I will add Gladiator too

[balmy rain]

Marauder that has lifesteal

[visual glade]

When does the event of Doom Eternal finishes? I unlocked Commander Keen costume

[bronze zodiac]

bruh been like 4 days i been trying to finish master level

everytime i stream on discord the game automatically crash along with discord an hour later

[vale pebble]

Does it not say in the events tab?

it usually does show

[upbeat mirage]

yo guys im tryna get the online trophies

someone willing to help me eventually?

[vale pebble]

What platform

[upbeat mirage]

playstation5

[vale pebble]

Oof I can't help sorry

[upbeat mirage]

oh alr thx tho

[modern otter]

does anyone have the dog bug in the beginning of ancient gods part 2?

[slow sigil]

yeah

[modern otter]

anyway to fix it??

[full ether]

@modern otter I think you have to reopen the game then it might be fixed

[modern otter]

okey

[full ether]

@modern otter if it does not work try notify a dev

@modern otter that's the best thing I can think of so good luck and may the odds be in your favor

@slow sigil did you try reopening the game it might work if not please contact a dev to fix that bug

[slow sigil]

the game isn't getting updates and the bug has been there since tag2 lauched

[full ether]

@slow sigil ah I see

[slow sigil]

you don't have to manually ping someone, just use the reply system

or... don't considering what other comment could you possible answer with that one

[full ether]

Well technically I'm apart of the slayer club so I mean I'm willing to help in the best way I can

[slow sigil]

that.... means nothing. slayer club is just the werid doom "social media"

[visual glade]

How do I unlock the last cheat?

I have 100%ed every level

Of the main campaign

[slow sigil]

did you also 100% the hub

[visual glade]

Oh...

[upbeat mirage]

yo guys, were 2 rn, u guys wanna help us out to get the trophies? were on playstation

[short smelt]

i need to play battlemode too

i rarely get into a game

and im trying to finish my achievements

[slow sigil]

you'll get them eventually with pure grinding, otherwise i'd be pretty weak as you wouldn't actually achieve them

[short smelt]

everything is done

battlemode feels like it will take the longest

i will try spicy demons

[slow sigil]

they're against lobbies purely for achievment hunting but not for just focusing on the achievment yourself whilst the others play serious iirc

unless that's outdated info

[south grove]

is ancient gods worth buying

i've played over 100 on doom eternal itself so i'm curious if i should get ancient gods when it's on sale

[full ether]

I say it's worth it

Because if you're interested in the lore of the dlc I say it is worth

[empty basin]

Mate if you have 100 hours on the base game then you might as well buy the DLCs at that point

[viral breach]

especially with all of the winter sales going on right now

[random vault]

steam winter sale ended

[ancient pecan]

🛩️🏢🏢

[vestal grotto]

I finally beat doom eternal after 4 years huhu

The icon of sin was on eatth for a really long time …

[azure oriole]

I've been on earth longer

[vestal grotto]

How powerful have you become

[azure oriole]

With the barbarian skin pack, how does one unlock the destroyer castle platform for the menu screen?

[empty basin]

level up the barbarian set, which is achieved by simply playing the game I think

Apparently all this time, Spectre Pinkies are bald?

[leaden quail]

the spectre makes me uncomfortable

like seeing a hampster eating pizza

[vale pebble]

That's a lot of attempts...

[vestal grotto]

I was cryogenically frozen

[atomic tusk]

guys has any one encountered unkown error occurred when joining online neither support nor all method i have tried seemed to work tried #tech-talk and #community-support nothing helps what should i do

[inland widget]

The Spectre doesn't have the frontal armor that the Pinky does, so you can kill it from the front in a reasonable amount of time as opposed to the Pinky

anyways, I got a question for you all, what's your preferred Rune Setup? For me it's In Flight Mobility, Savagery and Blood Fueled

[young mango]

I use the same tunes

[random vault]

i use air control dazed and confused and equipment fiend

do i have a skill issue tammie

[young mango]

Idk personally at least one of those should be blood fueled, speed boost is nice

[crude arch]

Well, this is it. The final mission of DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods 2…

[crude arch]

WTF JUST HAPPENED

TO THE DOOMSLAYER???

IS IT OVER FOREVER??????

[terse python]

DONT SPOILE IT

[crude arch]

DID YOU FINISH IT?

[terse python]

NO

[crude arch]

OH

WELL, THERE’S

Quite a surprise, let’s just say…

[terse python]

ok

[steep wind]

any tips for slayer gate 1

first playthrough on ultra violence

im at around 15 deaths with no progress

only thing i know is that i should probably use the plasma gun more

[atomic tusk]

Is Bethesda support sorta dumb i sent them msinfo32 file error screenshot steam id all stuff needed and they replay to me with needing all same stuff i sent them !!!!

on god's green earth 🤣

[steep wind]

i get crowded and the ammo isn't nearly enough

[vale pebble]

Use the heat blast it's good

Also really all you have to do is just use your grenades well and take out weak points

And blood punch against heavy demons

Keep in mind though that you can skip the gate and come back to it later

[steep wind]

ye i am but i either 1) get hit in the back by enemies 2)can't kill the hell knights (i think they're called that)

[vale pebble]

Use the sticky bombs against weaker enemies

[steep wind]

or 3 get absolutely destroyed by 4 revenants (i think you spell it like that) shoot me at once

[vale pebble]

If you have to chainsaw a heavy demon to make it slightly easier

And you could also lower your difficulty if you feel the need to

[steep wind]

ye that might be my bad because my savepoint has 0 shotgun ammo

[vale pebble]

Chainsaw at the start then

[steep wind]

i've been doing that

i might need to just spam plasma gun at one point instead of waiting for the heavy demons which i usually notice when they hit me

[vale pebble]

Try a little more and if you still can't do it either skip the gate and come back to it later or you can lower the difficulty

[steep wind]

alright, thanks

[vale pebble]

Np <3

[tender crypt]

bro the khan maykr boss fight is so easy

its literally just bullet sponge to make it hard like cmon bethesda

finally beat this bitch

tip for yall who havent fought her yet: mainly use turret mode.

[slow sigil]

[slow sigil]

Except its not even a bullet sponge lmfao, max 5 seconds before she dies from lockon

[tender crypt]

i didnt even use lockon i just used turret mode and blasted her

shit was easy, expected alot more from that fight..

[slow sigil]

Yeah the bossfights in eternal aren't all that great overall

[atomic tusk]

anyone help me join online match cuz I'm still facing same error for days i also contacted the support but wanna try join some one in pvp party hopefully i get it to work dm with ur steam id

[barren spear]

Blood punches and super shotgun

Imo☝️

[ebon wigeon]

Anyone got a steam 100% save file? Dont feel like re doing the entire campaign again

The ones online dont work and doom says they ate corrupted

[empty basin]

it's probably an automated response, try again I suppose

[empty basin]

As much as experienced players like to meme on the plasma rifle being useless, which it sorta is for higher level play, it's still very good for beginners

Heat Blast is a great panic button out of a sticky situation because of its guaranteed hard falter

[empty basin]

Best advice I can give is to sort of remember the map's layout and where you currently are on the map.

Wherever you go, try to always look for places with at least 2 routes to escape, and try to not corner yourself by going to a cramped area.

And don't stay in one place for too long, remember that the demons in this game are aggressive and relentless, stay in the same place for 5 seconds and you'll immediately get crowded.

[slow sigil]

They're really mid at absolute best

HB barely is ok but is too much of an hassle to charge every time between arenas

[peak kite]

Hi

I'm Russian and I bad speak English

[short girder]

Dread Knight is fucking broken holy

[short girder]

Just charge during the arena lmao

The Dread Knight Revenant combo is insanely broken in battlemode what

[strange gale]

name one level where this is a better idea than just dealing damage

[slow sigil]

During the small inbetweens of spawnwaves it's usually handier to charge dbladr

If you mean during actual combat, then lmfao you might aswell just get a drink without pausing. Will probably impact your gameplay more

[short girder]

Charge what?

[short girder]

Literally just during any arena

It deals big damage in a large area in front of you what's not to like

[waxen hatch]

Destroyer blade

[slow sigil]

Destroyer blade, the ballista mod

[short girder]

Ah right yeah

[slow sigil]

A mod that actually does do high damage yknow

[short girder]

It is better but that doesn't make HB bad

[waxen hatch]

HB isn’t as useful as other mods

[slow sigil]

No, but HB already is bleh

It's "only" 700 damage with max charge

But you have to waste time shooting plasma for that

Let alone the slight time you waste aswel switching to mbeam for spirits

[short girder]

Microwave Beam I will say is garbage

I think it's really fucking funny that they added an enemy in DLC just to make people use it

[slow sigil]

Dumb decision but a saved decision by the fact that PR overall is ass anyways

Something that doesn't save the stimp

[short girder]

I think TAG is just kinda mid anyways

Actually TAG2 is mid but TAG1 is good

[slow sigil]

Tag2 at launch

[short girder]

I don't even remember

I haven't played DLC since launch I've been on my battlemode grind recently

[short girder]

Like as in I don't know any differences or anything other than the Davoth fight being shit

[slow sigil]

Most of the combats being just pretty weak

[short girder]

Ah yeah

I'll play it again sometime soon

I'm doing a third UN run since I had to delete my save data and my Bethesda account but I'll do TAG after that

[strange gale]

"big damage" it caps out at less than an unupgraded blood punch

it's literally a worse option with a bigger opportunity cost

the max possible damage (700) out of a heat blast (unless you multiblast or use an ice bomb) isn't even enough to kill a maykr drone https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/504714848194527236/1195352072606973962/image.png

this is not "big damage"

hb is ONLY good during exultia since you don't have hot swapper yet, 3x damage is decently consistent there

in the very next level you gain access to quickswapping, and hb loses all of its value

[atomic tusk]

How long should specialized team takes to respond to my ticket
