doom-eternal

[serene stone]

It sounded like endless menu scrolling basically.

I never had that bug before until now

[serene stone]

Or maybe the sound when you're trying to skip a cutscene actually

[serene stone]

It was that sound but on a forever loop

Interesting. I believe it was more significant in 2016. Which is actually quite ironic considering Eternal's the one that is more focused on weak spots

[young mango]

cacodemon 2500 health staggers at 2000 damage, dblade does 2400 damage, meaning the weakpoint only has to apply 100 extra damage, which basically IS nothing, it’s the health of a stand-alone lost soul for reference, the eye makes the dblade do 2880 damage to the caco, 380 beyond what is necessary to kill them

[serene stone]

Eternal's such a bizarre game. I played for 1,500 hours and still learn weird quirks and little things like this.

[young mango]

that’s insane, you only have like 250 less hours than me

[serene stone]

Yeah. On Console too. But I don't push crazy speedrunning and do these crazy bulldozer techs like you do.

[young mango]

the main thing I speedrun is TAG2, on restricted ( no major glitches ) which means first, I can’t use it because it’s a major glitch, and 2nd, bulldozer just, kinda doesn’t exist on 5.1, and it’s way too overpowered for me to use in casual gameplay, so I really only use it for examples and messing around

[austere bronze]

It's 25% extra damage I believe

[serene stone]

Understandable.

[serene stone]

How much extra does it do in 2016?

[austere bronze]

No idea

Barely played the game

[serene stone]

Damn. I think I played 2016 for 300 hours lol

[young mango]

+25% would be 3000, in the cacodemons case it becomes 15.8% more

[serene stone]

Rookie numbers. I should pump them up.

[austere bronze]

What's wrong with it being 3000 damage?

[austere bronze]

Beats my few minutes...

[pseudo thistle]

its wrong

[red bay]

you 2 are the biggest doom nerds i ever seen

[serene stone]

Wait, you didn't beat the first level?

[red bay]

its cool

kiryu and tammie

[austere bronze]

I played it a bit at my friends house...

I have it, but not installed

Never got around to playing it on my own, just more interested in eternal tbh

When I've done something like murican eagles unreclaimed earth UN run I can play some 2016 :)

[serene stone]

F

[austere bronze]

Damn

[serene stone]

Nah fr tho, that's fair enough lol

[austere bronze]

Aight XD

[serene stone]

I mean, there's still a lot I could learn about Classic Doom and Doom 3.

I still get fucked up by Custom WADs and save a lot.

But I guess I could be considered a nerd when it comes to 2016 and Eternal

[young mango]

This math was a rush job because I was busy +15.8% = 2,779 NOT 2880, I got confused with the damage it applies and the damage beyond the killing threshold, it’s actually +20%

also I’m fairly sure it’s not a constant 20% either, I think it varies for different weapons, I’ll go check that

[young mango]

I’m not going to go through and comb through and calculate the percentage differences of each weapon on all the cacodemon weakpoints, but it seems like 20% is pretty much the increment used for other weapons, although I will admit I did gloss over them and only checked a few major values ( ssg, rocket, chaingun base fire )

[azure oriole]

My doom brain couldnt comprehend that statement👍

[delicate knot]

Is there a meta/"best" set of Runes? I have my second choice, and have Air Control.

[austere bronze]

I would personlly choose savagery

[delicate knot]

Seems like a good choice. Every second counts in a firefight, right? Especially when bulky things are getting more common. And don't want to be vulnerable for a year glory killing them...

[austere bronze]

You have invulnerability while glory killing

And 300ms after you're done

But it takes 700ms until you can pick up the health if you were wondering

[azure oriole]

Blood fueled is good too right?

[austere bronze]

It is

I either run air control, savagery and dazed & confused or the first 2 with blood fueled

[serene stone]

Why does Taras Nabad Master Level courtyard arena never get old?

[safe plume]

sighhh

i have an audio issue with Doom Eternal

playing it from steam PC

intro credits all sound complete fine, moment i reach main menu and ingame all no sound

[fallow crypt]

Is the update for mod support out yet?

[royal arch]

how do i get the maykr slayer skin

[frozen talon]

Battlemode matches are not working, does anyone know why?

[tiny sun]

Hello guys

Im New in the server

[grizzled fossil]

No one is probably playing at the moment

[frozen talon]

Is Doom Eternal really that dead? 🤡

[grizzled fossil]

Well it’s really because the multiplayer was downgraded in this game compared to doom 2016

So no one really played it lol

[frozen talon]

Se os rumores forem reais, um novo Doom será anunciado no Xbox showcase

[grizzled fossil]

Yes

I think it’s like doom: dark ages

[lime kernel]

I like the campaign better

Yes it is

[frozen talon]

I hope it comes to PlayStation 5

[young mango]

multiplayer mode on a primarily single player game dead after 4 years😱😱

[nocturne lynx]

People do still play on Xbox, though it’s a bit of a crap shoot between UN players, sweats, and newbies.

[lime kernel]

I hope it comes to ps4

[lime kernel]

True

[frozen talon]

Alguém aí é brasileiro? 😭

[young mango]

people need to realize that singleplayer skill doesn’t transfer over to multiplayer, people will beat UN and then be like “omg this will make the people in the battlemode lobby freak out” which isn’t true, I would consider myself a very good singleplayer person but if I were to go against any relatively competent battlemode player I would most likely get stomped as the fundamentals are entirely different

[grizzled fossil]

Can you stop talking in a different language it is very annoying to have to google translate your sentences

You were talking English just a couple seconds ago

[nocturne lynx]

Doesn’t change that UN players in my experience are relatively common in Battlemode.

[frozen talon]

Forgiveness

[nocturne lynx]

And that they usually do 3-0 sweeps regardless on newbie demons players.

[young mango]

UN stopped being a cool achievement when I managed to get my hands on it

[lime kernel]

I have several thousand hours and get slapped in multiplayer still they are milles apart

[frozen talon]

I'm Brazilian, so I also have to use Google translate

[young mango]

really? several thousand

[lime kernel]

Over the doom franchise yes

[young mango]

ohh the entire franchise, that makes more sense

what’s your playtime in doom eternal alone?

[lime kernel]

You good he just being an ass

Depends on the account

[young mango]

Just give me a combined total of those accounts then

[lime kernel]

I have 5

7-8 hundred

Not counting others systems I've played on

[nocturne lynx]

“I want my 11 year-old console that has been succeeded 4 years ago to be catered to for a brand new cutting-edge AAA game.”

I’d bet big money that Sony and MS’ next consoles relatively bomb.

[young mango]

okay good that’s not nearly as absurd as i originally interpreted it

[lime kernel]

Sorry I don't have money poring out my ass

On others alone 1'000

[regal walrus]

why tf is there no fodder demons spawning in the demon prison

🤦‍♂️

[lime kernel]

I know it pissed me off

[young mango]

my hours in doom eternal is around 1750, to me that’s not absurd because there’s definitely players with higher counts out there

[austere bronze]

Me in a couple years fr

[regal walrus]

i love it they made it for the sole reason of "practice fighting demons" when they dont even fuckin spawn the fodder demons

🤦‍♂️

[lime kernel]

Cus I had to play eternal on my cusons because I only had a ps3

[austere bronze]

Didn't that hmmp guy have like 3000?

[regal walrus]

10/10 design

[lime kernel]

No ammo work on evasion

[young mango]

don’t know, don’t care, don’t like the guy, and honestly it’d be sad if he had around 3000 because that means with around 1000 less hours I’m several tiers worth of players above him

[lime kernel]

And minoring attack patterns and range/damage

Mimarising*

Too many concussions

[regal walrus]

holy hell

this game is actually beyond broken

[lime kernel]

What

[regal walrus]

can we even alt + tab between this game anymoeree

legit jus freezes and crashes

[young mango]

yes

[lime kernel]

Idk I play on PSN so

[young mango]

it works without issue for me

[regal walrus]

this game is getting more and more broken

[lime kernel]

Might need to reload

Had a big where I feel through the floor on ultra nightmare

[austere bronze]

Oh wait yeah, I think he made the "How To Be Homophobic" video

[lime kernel]

I should have joined this server years ago

[young mango]

not even homophobia, he’s just all around unlikable, I remember he screenshotted some random kids message off his server and started publicly dunking them on his channel

[austere bronze]

Oh damn, I don't really remember him tbh

[lime kernel]

That's just wrong

[austere bronze]

Most of what I know from him was from a murican eagle video where they played 1v2 slayer wirh another guy

[young mango]

I have no clue how he got the audience he did, his gameplay is ass and all he does is say random nonsense over his gameplay that’s just describing what he’s doing like “haha fuck you baron” or something every 20 seconds to keep the audience engaged

also the fact that he doesn’t stick to his lane, his video on “doing Urdak speedrun skips” annoyed the hell out of me because the execution sucked and half of them weren’t even skips that happened in actual speedruns, it was just flashy stuff that didn’t do anything

[lime kernel]

Sounds like a butt head

Lest active this server has been

[austere bronze]

Sounds like the easiest side hustle ever

[hoary barn]

First to beat UN live on YT from the beginning wins a suprise

[austere bronze]

If I could do a ML and I didn't have school now i would do it

[young mango]

the amount of people I’ve gone against in SGN “races” has made that level a breeze

I remember there was a point in time where I didn’t have much better to do so I just played SGN ML every day

[austere bronze]

I remember when I couldn't get oast the first arena of SGN ML

Then I played through the DLCs plus modded content and it became a breeze

[young mango]

I’ve done a full UN run before on YouTube from beginning to end, but I’ve never live-streamed it

[austere bronze]

How long does that take you?

[young mango]

last time I did it was 3 hours and 2 minutes, I’ve done speedruns in the DLC and a few campaign levels before but other than that it’s pretty much unrouted and most of my speed would come from increased execution

with skips I can beat the campaign in under 2 hours on a good day

[lime kernel]

All my hours and it takes me ten

Fucking imps

Always behind me

[young mango]

the three campaign levels that I say I’m fairly decent at are arc complex, Urdak ( if I’m lucky ), and mars core

Doom hunter base is entirely unthought out but I got a yeethook that skips half the level anyways

Arc, Urdak, and mars Core I have down good, but for levels I’m less experienced in, that’d be
hell on earth
Exultia
cultist base
Doom hunter base
sentinel prime
Final sin

Levels I play like normal cuz I don’t have strats for them:
Super gore nest
Taras nabad
Nek1 & nek2

[young mango]

and how would you work something like this out

[hoary barn]

Stream Doom Eternal on youtube, send me the link, and if you beat it I give you something

[young mango]

sure why not, I’ll take you up on this offer but I’m a bit rusty, and it’s kind of late

[hoary barn]

Hm, another time? Maybe during the weekend, because our timezones are clearly different

[young mango]

nah I’ll still be up for a few more hours

so it’s not that I can’t do the run entirely it’s just I’d have to crunch for time if I were

[hoary barn]

It's pretty early in the morning rn, so I probably can't even watch

[lime kernel]

@young mango send link got stuff that won't let me sleep

[regal walrus]

bro

what on gods green earth is wrong with this game

is there supposed to be no cutscene in the beginning of blood swamps now?

[austere bronze]

Lots

[regal walrus]

this game makin me lose my mind

there was a cutscene in the beginning of blood swamps right?

its not there anymore

[austere bronze]

I don't remember any

You just kinda spawn in

[regal walrus]

???

[austere bronze]

As far as I remember there isn't any cutscene at the start of blood swamps

[slow sigil]

In the tag1 campaign you get in a hub-area before moving on to BS

[regal walrus]

we cant see that anymore?

☠️

[slow sigil]

Ofc you can, just restart your campaign

[regal walrus]

💀

i love going thru a whole ass campaign jus to see a cutscene with my slayer skin

god bless making things more complicated 🙏

[slow sigil]

It's only a skin, who cares. Only the gloves matter

It's not like you paid actual money for a skin.... right

[lime kernel]

I got bad news

Also I need to buy the dlc's again

[young mango]

alright I did a few speedrun skips to make things happen faster ( each of them qualifying as no major glitches in bounds on the leaderboard ) and all around it is legitimately done, it may not be perfect, but it is a UN run streamed live on YT, and since you set the bar of "first to beat", i don't think you minded speedrun strats being implemented. https://www.youtube.com/live/umPuWL9LTRk?si=RM4iUSDVMMnxcscE

honestly I’m way better than I remember being, around the point of Taras Nabad onwards I had moments where I completely forgot I was on UN

anyways see y’all tomorrow it’s a tad late for me

[azure oriole]

Well the earth is red now from the demons and stuff so it must suck to live on earth

[serene stone]

You can use photo mode to see it all the time

Also you can still see the intro cutscenes to UAC Atlantica and The Holt on replays

[serene stone]

I don't even think it's going to happen

Yeah there was the "ModPortal" thing, but I feel like we would have heard something by now if they were still planning it.

[serene stone]

I remember it being a joke according to him. But yeah, he has been posting videos like that lately.

[austere bronze]

Whow, it was a joke? Chockers

[serene stone]

Lol. Just a lot of people who seen the video apparently didn't realize so I thought I would say it

I personally don't mind Hmmmp that much though. Some of his videos are pretty good.

[austere bronze]

I don't remember his videos so I can't speak on that tbh

[lime kernel]

Not when you have no ammo and are on one hp from from 7 mancubus 3 pain elementals 1 pinky 3 tyrants and a doom hunter and the sprinkles on top 9 whiplashs

[glossy narwhal]

I’m beating the game for my first playthrough on nightmare and it took about 5 hours of gameplay to beat the third level. Is this good?

This is my first playthrough ever

[austere bronze]

5 hours to beat 1-3 or just 3?

[glossy narwhal]

1-3

[austere bronze]

alright, well nightmare is really good, but the time isn't the best which is understandable tho

[glossy narwhal]

I feel like I’ve gotten better

[austere bronze]

they can still be one shotted, but where in the game do you encounter this?

[lime kernel]

Final sin on un I'm to broke for dlc

[austere bronze]

you have probably gotten better too

[lime kernel]

Dlc's

[austere bronze]

are you at like the bossfight then?

[lime kernel]

Yes and just spent all my ammo

And punched my desk hard enough that my game crashed

[light pasture]

rip

[lime kernel]

Ya had to restart the entire campaign

[smoky lily]

I just got a glitch in ultra nightmare run where I have no guns

[strange gale]

completely made up encounter btw

lil bro is shadowboxing and losing

[lime kernel]

I always see shit tho

I was flying around too fast trying not to get hit but failed

[young mango]

That glitch only happens when you force quit the game after dying

[smoky lily]

Cap

My guns disappeared after I reached a checkpoint

[young mango]

take a picture of the Arsenal section of your dossier

if it says something like “rayone microndes” or sumshit you definitely did what I mentioned

[silk tinsel]

what checkpoint

im pretty sure theres no checkpoints in UN

[young mango]

there are checkpoints but they’re pretty much only useful at returning you to your place if the game crashes/force quit

[silk tinsel]

i see

idk how UN works across multiple sessions; i just like to do it in one sitting

bro was fighting lore accurate hell

[lime kernel]

Idk I downloaded some shit to make it fun

It was fun tell game crashed

I'll have you know I've had enough concussions where I'm legally brain dead

[young mango]

modifies game
blames game for being hard
what?

[lime kernel]

Not blaming the game blaming my dumbass

Because I can't see a imp

Yes like I said I'm a dumb ass

And zigged when I should have zagged

It suckes

Especially when it's the last guy

Got you

Time out cept me from sending it

[smoky lily]

I turned off the game like 1 hour ago

Doesn’t matter anyway

I was only on cultist base

[lime kernel]

@azure oriole Don't have the DLCs right now had to make a new account in my old one got hacked

Yeah but I'm broke

16

Should have a job but I just had surgery on my knee I messed it up in a football accident BTW I mean American football not normal football

[young mango]

Double possessed marauder never happens, only a singular one happens and it’s in the holt

[lime kernel]

Mods do wonders

[austere bronze]

Barely any mods have double possessed marauders

Unbalanced CBT altantica had it (idk about the balanced) and Deltas UAC atlantica but those aren't really possessed

[lime kernel]

Fuck me

Power just went out

[austere bronze]

Those are the ones I can think of rn, maybe unbalanced tormented earth at the end but I don't think so

[lime kernel]

I haven't looked down the double possessed Marauder path but I'm going to have to find some mods for it

[austere bronze]

Check out the ones I said

But it's boring as hell

[lime kernel]

Will do

[strange gale]

the game with infamously shit balancing is easy 🤯

[royal arch]

where is the second arc complex field drone

[storm field]

There is a breakable wall at right to Dr elena richardson log entry 002

[lime kernel]

There

I'm stupid

I missed it to

Still can't play rn

[austere bronze]

I would recommend starting with Delta's UAC atlantica facility since it's the easiest one

It's still hard (harder than the hardest unmodded master level) but unbalabced CBT atlantica facility is starting to get kinda crazy

And then unbalanced tormented earth I haven't even beaten yet

[blissful pendant]

I just test the battlemode and i have play the doom slayer and the demond and i think the demon are à little overpower or maybe its because its a 1v2 i dont know

[lime kernel]

In my opinion they are

[austere bronze]

I'm by no means at all a battlemode player but from what I've heard the slayer is the OP one

[blissful pendant]

Yes when you play on pc but on xbox or console its not the same

Or you need a keyboard and mouse on console for being really good

[royal arch]

oh ok

[azure oriole]

Marauders fights are zzz

I really dislike them Always did, they cut off the pace of the game so much

And you either sticky bomb spam or anime lob combo them or ballista feet stagger

[austere bronze]

If there are 2 after eachother it isn't double possessed marauders

[royal arch]

just realized that saving throw is garbage

[silk tinsel]

how so

[royal arch]

it only slows shit down when your low, and it doesn’t heal you up

[midnight sparrow]

Would be way too busted if it healed you up to full

[royal arch]

half would be fine

[strange gale]

game's already broken enough

[serene stone]

Those guys got omega nerf hammered hard compared to 2016 Nightmare Imps.

[serene stone]

You already can restack to near/full health and armor at nearly any given time anyway, so it's whatever

[lime kernel]

We will find out

[austere bronze]

?

They literally were

[serene stone]

Also I believe Saving Throw makes you temporarily invulnerable (I don't use the rune, could be misremembering). That's more than enough time to restack your health and armor.

[young mango]

I don’t even understand the timeslow mechanic though, it doesn’t even last for the duration of your invincibility, lasts like 2-3 seconds tops, in 3x time slow, which is approximately 0.7-1 second when put back to normal speed, meaning about half of the runes duration is completely pointless

[lime kernel]

I'm about to start a new playthrough

[serene stone]

iD Software moment I guess

[serene stone]

2016 Nightmare Imps are beyond cracked. Just warning again lol

[strange gale]

the timeslow is shorter than the total number of invuln frames, it's difficult to figure out an exact duration though

game files suggest 9 seconds of invuln (9000 ms, it treats the timeslow portion as if it were in real time), i got a value around 8 seconds through testing

[west mountain]

I am the storm that is approaching.

[strange gale]

you aint vergil lil bro

• arkham said the storm thing first

but you haven't played dmc 3

[unreal flare]

shoulda called him verlil

[junior token]

Tell me EXACTLY what is wrong with being a furry

[unreal flare]

(or not, it sounds kinda lame looking back on it)

[junior token]

Nah, it's cool

[junior token]

I am you, only better

[unreal flare]

honestly nothing, just gotta watch out for the zoos that use furries as a shield from their disgusting behavior

[junior token]

Agreed

[dense berry]

hi

[strange gale]

at 60fps, timeslow (0.400000006x timescale) lasts for roughly 310 frames or 124f/2.067s in real time. combine that with the invuln frames that occur after timeslow ends, roughly 170 frames or 2.83 seconds, and you get approx. 4.9s of invuln

[high bison]

You know our laws

[nocturne lynx]

Yeah, it does.

[young mango]

Thank you

[delicate knot]

Know I'm late to the convo, but I do not accept these people. Honestly, I would like to find one and slug them... If it was consequence free!

Dumb question. Should I go Seek and Destroy, Saving Throw, or Equipment Fiend? Faster, longer range kills sounds great(Savagery+S&D). But I'm shit at the game and have no extra lives(Saving Throw. HOW am I at the Hunter Base?) Just some combination like Flame Belch+Frag might be fun, and literal free armor from Fodder classes!(Equipment Fiend). I think this is my first time really thinking much...

[austere bronze]

Doesn't matter that much what u pick

Pick what feels best for you

[eternal halo]

anyone know the next time doom eternal's going on sale?

[delicate knot]

S&D feels like a frickin' teleport... That's amazing.

[delicate knot]

I'm assuming you're asking about PC?

[eternal halo]

yes

[delicate knot]

Ah. Was gonna say, if not... Deluxe on Switch is like $17.48 or so.

But it's understandable that you'd want something with better everything, from a technical view. And the ability to mod.

[eternal halo]

yea.
also i dont own a switch
or any other console
but thats a sick deal

[silk tinsel]

prob whenever steam summer sale is

[austere bronze]

Mods are goates fr

[azure oriole]

do you feel it

[silk tinsel]

huh

[azure oriole]

the winds of summer

it’s coming

[eternal halo]

ive been thinking cause according to isthereanydeal last time eternal deluxe went on summer sale it was like 25 bucks and i might just wait for that

but on the other hand cdkeys is selling it for 17 bucks
but they are a lot more shady

[delicate knot]

cries in Midwest US Unfortunately, that is basically already here. It is marked by the cicadas, and the song of their people...

[eternal halo]

its 95 on the regular here in florida

[delicate knot]

95 is your regular? I don't want to know what a hot day is like... I'm stupid temperature sensitive, so 90+ constantly would mean I just die.

[eternal halo]

well, its actually 90 now. i think like 2 weeks ago the entire week went like highs of 95-98, and lows of like 89. now its more so like high of 96 and low of 79.

[serene stone]

It was even further in 2016 I believe

[silk tinsel]

its like 150 over here in nekravol

[eternal halo]

lolll

[serene stone]

That's pretty low for Hell

[junior token]

-87 here in urdak

At the same time, it is somehow also 70

[fierce lynx]

Is there a lore reason why in the hell section of the exultia mission the demons built three huge enormous double doors right in front of each other? Ar they stupid?

[delicate knot]

That all open at basically the same time, too...

[tepid acorn]

whats the reward for doing the slayer gates in the dlcs?

[azure oriole]

ain't sure

[serene stone]

Probably to fit Grandfather Tyrants I guess.

[royal arch]

why the hell i gotta fight a baron, a doom hunter, a cyber mancubus, and this new angel enemy with only a combat shotgun

horde mode is hell

how the hell do i counter blood maykrs

[serene stone]

Sticky Bomb their heads

[royal arch]

horde mode is pain

[serene stone]

It's a terrible mode and it gets stale fast. I'll say that.

[young mango]

horde mode sucks so much🙏 the horde mode channel got removed a few months ago and nobody even mentioned it because nobody cares about it

[serene stone]

I would have much rather had a return to Arcade mode from 2016...or something like the modded Horde modes.

I don't know what iD Software was thinking or smoking.

[fierce lynx]

Beating one gives you a choice of one of three new runes

[young mango]

it’s so bad that it’s the only singleplayer mode without a speedrun category

hell even the tutorial playthrough has a category in category extensions

[serene stone]

Makes sense with the RNG weapon selection and whatnot

[young mango]

competitively it sucks to speedrun, but if you’re just trying to go fast it’s fun, i think my fastest horde mode clear was 33 minutes

[serene stone]

I don't remember mine. I don't think I touched Horde mode for like....idk a year maybe.

[delicate knot]

So, thoughts on skins? Just overall. Can be for Slayer, Demons, or Weapons. Made a temporary nerf, got the 2016 skin for nostalgia sake.

[serene stone]

Most of the skins are too goofy IMO, and the non-goofy skins are largely recolors of the default Eternal Praetor.

I like the Quake, 2016, 64, and DOOM II skins though

As for the weapon skins. They're largely ugly and limited

[delicate knot]

And aren't a good number of them locked behind Twitch Prime things that no longer exist?

[young mango]

no, pretty much only the doomicorn and mullet slayer function like that

and are still purchasable if you missed them

[delicate knot]

That's only on Steam, though.

[serene stone]

2016's multiplayer has a shitton of weapon skins / intricate user customization for the weapon aesthetics.

I wish Eternal didn't go backwards on that.

[serene stone]

Same for the armor actually too.

[delicate knot]

Been reading a bit of forum/thread stuff, because why not. And apparently a fair amount of people hate it? Say that it forces a set playstyle, and that the parkour and goofiness make it feel like "not Doom". Is that true? Is this really that much of a step backwards, or do they probably just miss Classic Doom/3?

[serene stone]

Actually can agree that Eternal's parkour is kinda lame, and that it's a bit too goofy in many areas.

The game does allow a lot of skill expression and varied play styles though.

I don't think the parkour is so lame to the point that it's gamebreaking though.

[delicate knot]

Okay, let me put this simply. Super Gore Nest, easiest difficulty. I'm currently totally sucking. Is this just going to be trial and error from a checkpoint until I git gud?

[azure oriole]

I mean i guess

U dont really have a choice

[delicate knot]

I would ask for advice, but I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, besides being a noob and having trouble with weak points and ammo. By the way, how important ARE weak points in fights? Aim is still crap.

[azure oriole]

I mean its preferrable to destroy them but at the wake of being combat i usually only destroy the arachnotron turret and just blow up the rest of the enemy

[grizzled fossil]

Anyone wanna boost achievements on multiplayer?

[delicate knot]

Decided to get Precision Bolt. This is... Certainly a mod. It's interesting and fun, but sniping doesn't quite feel "Doom". Does that make sense?

[young mango]

it’s actually one of the most meta mods in the game

[delicate knot]

I can kinda see why. Fodder gets instantly staggered. I'm assuming this would do decent damage to Heavies.

And Bullets aren't exactly hard to come by!

[young mango]

It is tied for fastest bring up and bring down speed for all the weapons, it can apply fast swap effect to other weapons ( allowing stuff like pb rocket to happen ), does a nice 400 damage, it’s basically like a nice buffer between weapons in a combo, or a crucial part of it, acting as a buffer and an FSE trigger at the same time, also bullets are crazy efficient with this mod, when your ammo is maxed out you would need to fire like 30 of these things before you’re out, and the fact that it breaks weakpoints and is beneficial for headshots, even on enemies it doesn’t outright kill

[azure oriole]

Not only that u can now quickscope and a random zombie... Because fuck him in particular

[delicate knot]

Fast swap? PB rocket?

I'm guessing this is real meta, technical stuff. And that the skill ceiling of what you can do is bonkers.

[young mango]

nah pb rocket is straight up 2021 stuff i wouldn’t consider it too advanced

[delicate knot]

Quickscoping, huh? And yeah, seems I was off/unlucky. Fodder just goes boom...

[young mango]

do you care about spoilers in terms of like the enemies you encounter? I could show you what i consider to be the true absurdity of “technical stuff”

[azure oriole]

Its what happens when u shoot a demon with a 50 caliber,just like the founding fathers intended

[delicate knot]

Not really. Looking through reviews before buying the game, I got loosely spoiled on some boss stuff. Also leads to some "Oh, THAT'S the enemy they were talking about!" moments.

[young mango]

okay well here you go, here’s the most advanced combo I’ve ever done on an enemy ( doesn’t normally have this much health, i modified it to have this much ) https://youtu.be/3N8rXDmyFPA?si=zdT9d2vKv7dlnxA-

[delicate knot]

Wow. That is... Stupid fast. If you didn't pump up the numbers, this thing wouldn't exist.

[young mango]

it’s not even about the speed it’s about the bar of execution for half of those tricks, especially the last one, which is frame perfect, which is why i lowered my FPS to 60

[azure oriole]

"which is why i lowered my frames to 60" now thats one hell of a flex

[delicate knot]

Was gonna say something similar. But ya beat me to the punch! Or rather, the punch cancel. (I know I'm not funny.)

[regal walrus]

whats wrong with this game 💀

trying to teleport to the second boss fight on icon of sin now crashes the game 💀

????

are they ever gonna fix this unplayable game

[young mango]

so you tried to use a third party program to modify your in game progression and are now blaming the game for a totally unintended and quite literally unobtainable thing in base game even with glitches

or do you mean the portal crash

[young mango]

I’m slow asf don’t mind me I forgot portal crash was a thing

my fault 😢

[regal walrus]

yeh that

going thru the green portal

[delicate knot]

Hopping off for the night, because sleep is important. But can I just say that...
Marauders are fun. Dodge, get in close, SSG. Repeat until dead Marauder.

[lofty estuary]

arablast, ssg, bloodpunch, moy bien

[strange gale]

your game is still modded to hell and back

if the game's broken even after you've confirmed that nothing is modded, then you have something to complain about

[serene stone]

How have I just learned you can clamber as well as stand on the people in the TAG 1 hub world

[serene stone]

Super Gore Nest is usually seen as much easier than the previous levels because you have the Ballista and took off most of the game's training wheels.

Do you find it harder than the previous levels? That's interesting.

[fallen heart]

portal crash is real

on all platforms and patches still 😦

[serene stone]

I don't think I ever crashed teleporting to the Icon of Sin's second phase .... and I have always had a very janky experience with Eternal lol

[lapis creek]

Only hard but for me when I first played a long time ago was the escape at the end

[ebon jacinth]

GUYS, Ultranightmare is hard ass sh1t :c

i can´t beat the Icon

[slow sigil]

same difficulty as NM

[ebon jacinth]

yeah, but, No extraLives

[slow sigil]

losing 1 of those is a failstate anyways

[ebon jacinth]

[azure oriole]

Omg john doom

[lucid siren]

That used to happen to me at the same point in the game, did you download updates?

[vapid arrow]

Devs how do I connect my doom x box account to my ps5

[serene stone]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[vapid arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-great-gif-11616648

So basically I spent like 50 pounds on skins and I can't use them on my ps5

Good thing I love playing doom

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-slayer-cacodemon-demon-cute-gif-7070685866677885551

[young mango]

that should be a whole other ordeal, your skins, titles, and icons etc. should be connected to your bethesda account, meaning just connecting to the internet on your new account should give you the stuff

it may not do it immediately though, it’s kind of wonky

[vapid arrow]

I don't know how to make a Bethesda account

Or if I have one

[young mango]

afaik it requires you to make a bethesda account upon first booting the game, they might have removed that being a necessity however, I’m not sure

[vapid arrow]

I don't remember I got my x box like 2 years ago and I have ADHD and bad memory on top of that

[random vault]

spending $60 on doom skins is crazy you should report to bethesda if you dont get it

[vapid arrow]

Not on one like over all

[random vault]

thats why i said skins plural

[vapid arrow]

I can't read

[random vault]

neither can i 👍

[young mango]

If you got it 2 years ago you most likely made a bethesda account at one point for the game, there should be a tab for it in the game, the one on the far right, just use that same email for your next console and you’ll be fine

[vapid arrow]

Ok

Lucky I booted up my x box and looked

[vale pebble]

but Fortnite...

[vapid arrow]

I love fortnight

[vapid arrow]

I actually own wildcat a £300 skin

[austere bronze]

Every 20 fortnights I play fortnite

[random vault]

but thats a game you actually see the skin your wearing + one that will last for eternity so spending money is justified

[vale pebble]

nuh uh you can see the slayers arm barely

[vapid arrow]

Can't agree more

[random vault]

i want him

[vapid arrow]

Doom guy is in the game

I own him and all his styles

[austere bronze]

I genuinely don't know why people spend money on skins, like idk how that brings some kind of satisfaction

[random vault]

i aint talking fortnite slayer

[vale pebble]

they look cool ig

[vapid arrow]

Hu

https://tenor.com/view/cat-huh-meme-gif-27557281

[austere bronze]

Pff, I still rock the default doomguy skin

[random vault]

don’t worry about it

[vapid arrow]

For me it's the unicorn skin

[austere bronze]

Understandable

[random vault]

Phobos is the only good gold one

[austere bronze]

How do you get that?

[random vault]

That’s the one I always use

[vapid arrow]

Mony

[vale pebble]

oh nahh I'll never buy doom skins, I thought you were talking about Fortnite ones

[vapid arrow]

Money

[austere bronze]

Ah

[vale pebble]

Fortnite yeah but doom nah

[vapid arrow]

And more money

YEET

[young mango]

I used to rock the golden skin before I realized

1. Nobody GAF
2. Ultra nightmare is not a braggable achievement anymore

[vale pebble]

I only bought the unicorn one for like 3 bucks

[random vault]

You know LEV, sending money on Fortnite it’s still better than spending money on a Genshin Impact Gacha game

[vale pebble]

red 64 slayer better

[vapid arrow]

Same

[young mango]

Red 40 slayer solos

[vale pebble]

l-love??? 👉👈

[random vault]

speach dictation said love instead of lev wth

[austere bronze]

I was talking about skins in any game tbh

[vapid arrow]

Ur out of line but Ur right

im gunna start saying it now if you respond like this

[vale pebble]

I never spent money on genshin 😭

[vapid arrow]

I once had an extra like five dollars and bought the like once a day Primogems for a month thing but besides that my account is 100% non pay to win

[vapid arrow]

My brain isn't braining

[young mango]

check what your next ping is gonna be lev

[vale pebble]

chat I got eula and got her maxed without spending money hahahaha My friend spent money and didn't even get her once

[vapid arrow]

I don't even think about installing genchen impact or worse gachq

[vale pebble]

this was like 3 years ago

[vapid arrow]

Who

https://tenor.com/view/who-dat-snoop-gif-15116696

[serene stone]

Also most of Eternal's skins are goofy AF anyway

[vapid arrow]

True

Ember skin fire tho

Litrly

[young mango]

I feel like the people who talk about skullface being their favorite only say that because TAG2 is ridiculously easy to UN, I couldn’t care less about most of the skins

[random vault]

I have 270 hours in Genshin Impact and the only five star i had besides jean was xiao and i stopped playing cuz i used to just log on and do dailys everyday but that made me level up a bunch so everything was really high level and i was still fairly weak so the only thing i could do to catch up was artifact farming but thats so unfathomably boring i just gave up and dont play anymore

[vapid arrow]

I only were one skin the unicorn to be funny a world killer dressed as a unicorn

[random vault]

you heard me

[vapid arrow]

Also I'm not reading that book

[vale pebble]

I stopped playing like after that event where eula was first introduced cuz my phone broke and didn't wanna get it on my new phone cuz that shit would've taken up half my storage rn

[random vault]

you quote reddit memes im not concerned whether or not you read my message

[vale pebble]

bet

[young mango]

word count: 79
you are cooked.

[random vault]

last time i played the chasm was still new

now they got like the plant abilities and 4 new areas and a whole shitton of stuff

[vapid arrow]

Wdm

[vale pebble]

I think they are close to wrapping up the game now

[random vault]

they got like a forest, desert, swimming underwater??? like i dont even know anymore

[random vault]

ill come back when the game is finished the story so i can just play that

I also thought about trying Honkai star rail from launch but I decided not to get addicted so I never played it

also I probably would’ve played honkai impact 3rd if I had played when the evangelion Collab was going on

[vale pebble]

my friend is obsessed with star rail

[random vault]

also I’m still mad I never got aloy Genshin cause I literally played during the time she was available but I wasn’t a high enough level and then she was gone before I could

[vale pebble]

he started playing since day 1 and has had his dailies going since then

[vale pebble]

HA I GOT ALOY

[random vault]

You don’t even have a PlayStation

[vale pebble]

she was free for everyone

[random vault]

gay

[vale pebble]

yeah

[azure oriole]

Its pretty funny when a prowler accidentally came to ur line of sight while u have an ssg to turn him to ash

[hoary barn]

[azure oriole]

why were people saying that the davoth fight was bad

[random vault]

its literally just a big marauder that heals

[young mango]

and hella RNG

Also the fact that it’s so mindnumbingly easy

[serene stone]

He can't take splash damage either or be damaged with his shield up, meanwhile Marauder can

[serene stone]

And takes way longer...but hey atleast the scenery is cool

[young mango]

he actually heals when damaged outside of his greenlight window, not just a little either, he regains like 50%+ of his healthpool with one bullet

[serene stone]

Yup. It's like anti splash damage.

[young mango]

it’s like it incentivizing you to not think outside the box at all

[serene stone]

Indeed.

[azure oriole]

i actually liked the fight'

[young mango]

I like the fight too, but objectively, it sucks

[azure oriole]

it could have been better i guess but it was fun

also why was the crucible removed in the dlc?

was it a bad weapon?

[young mango]

because canonically doomguy broke the hilt off so he could keep the icon of sin sealed, also to prevent you from having to a free one shot weapon, and had to have coded unique interactions in for it, as well as the fact they needed a way to wedge in the hammer as a weapon

[azure oriole]

yeah that makes sense but couldnt he just light it again?

and maybe they could have done a better idea with how it worked... maybe ill make a demo of it one day

[young mango]

I mean we Can toy around with “why didn’t doomguy do (x) is he stupid?” But honestly he didn’t have a reason to need the crucible, he wasn’t fighting another titan, and would you really have wanted the pace of TAG completely interrupted by doing Taras Nabad all over again?

[silk python]

that makes me think, is the icon of sin's body still just laying there on earth

or did it just blip somewhere else

[young mango]

it’s probably still on earth considering that when doomguy removed the hilt from the Taras Nabad titan it just stayed there

[serene stone]

I will give it that it has some amazing scenery

Going to Super Gore Nest and Igmore's Sanctum while fighting him is rad as fuck.

[silk python]

very silly lol

[serene stone]

The Eternal lore?

Yeah Eternal's lore is whack as fuck

[silk python]

yeah, sorry i forgot to reply to the message

[serene stone]

Tbh, Eternal's lore kinda reminds me of Halo 4 and 5's writing lmfao

It's that goofy over the top fan fiction type shit you see from the 343 Industries Halo games lol

[silk python]

like just imagine having a giant beast just laying there in the middle of like times square

[young mango]

to be fair it’s probably the least of their concerns and they’re just glad it’s not alive

[silk python]

true, itd prob be turned into a tourist attraction at some point lol

[slow sigil]

i imagine the UAC will use it for something

[serene stone]

Gameplay is miles ahead of 343i Halo however

[slow sigil]

or maybe it dissapeared when hell was sealed by killing davoth

[young mango]

completely forgot about that

[serene stone]

Sounds kinda cool actually

[silk python]

theyd prob pull a cyberdemon move

[young mango]

well it’s completely unrevivable given the broken crucible inside of him so it’d be safe to assume they wouldn’t get much use out of an oversized corpse

and also what luci said, every demon outside of hell kinda just died after davoth died

[serene stone]

I kinda just imagined the next Doom game you play as a new guy, then he dies to Samuel Hayden at the end.

Then Samuel Hayden like foreshadows an ultimate showdown with Doomguy as the new guy is bleeding out at the end of the game

Basically mocking your death

And I can see iD Software pulling a stunt and cliffhanger like that actually

[serene stone]

And you guessed it, a modern version of E1M1 will play during this moment

[silk python]

yeah i know but thats just kind of a underwhelming/boring explanation

[serene stone]

If something like this coincidentally happens then I guess I'm a prophet

[serene stone]

I want to fight the king of the Tyrants

[tacit jetty]

Cultist base has claimed me for the first time in my Ultra nightmare attempt run cuz I forgot to invest into quick switching
First ever death was the goddamm last arachnatron in hell on earth-

It was the Mancubus rocket arena

Panic set in and I died

[silk python]

was it where the two mancubus spawn

oh wait nvm

[young mango]

Ngl that arena is less stressful than than the first mancubus encounter period simply because your weapons suck and it’s so cramped

and now that I think about it, it’s the same amount of mancubi in the rocket arena with the addition of a cacodemon

[tacit jetty]

Already didn’t have ammo on shotgun/plasma rifle which of course wasn’t helping in my panic to try and control the situation I was in

That damm Caco zoned me cuz I was blind

[serene stone]

That encounter even on Ultra Violence always fucks me up

Cultist Base is such a difficulty curve, that it's tricky on both Ultra Violence and Nightmare lol

[azure oriole]

bro could have done it off screen

[tacit jetty]

If one felt confident after Exultia and Hell on earth, Cultist base (and maybe even doom hunter base-) is there to put you in your place- at least it did for me lol

[azure oriole]

and uhh there could have just been like a slash attack kinda like the blood punch but more powerful as the crucible

[young mango]

but also the point there was no story reason for him to go back and get it, Infact it would’ve conflicted the story because in TAG1 you actually spare samur, going at him with an argent energy one shot kill weapon wouldn’t make much sense

[serene stone]

She has the shape of the gorgeous UAC hologram lady.

[azure oriole]

guess so

[azure oriole]

who was that?

yeah i know but did she have a name?

[serene stone]

The girl who has the "cake" and always talks about the demons being the mortally challenged and not demons

[serene stone]

Idk

[azure oriole]

lmao

[young mango]

also I’m a guy, why?

[azure oriole]

i wish there was a spider mastermind fight in eternal

[serene stone]

I wish there were Arachnotrons in 2016

Oh I see your game here

[azure oriole]

are the pain elementals related to cacodemons?

true

one shoots balls and one shoots skulls

[serene stone]

They're made from dead Caco tissues according to classic Doom

[azure oriole]

imagine bein a lost soul factory

oh dang

dude they could have just used pain elementals for energy

[serene stone]

Wait no, that's just the 64 Pain Elemental. My bad

[azure oriole]

infinite lost soul explosion

[serene stone]

There doesn't seem to be anything official about Cacos and Pain Elementals being related

Besides the 64 Pain Elemental

[azure oriole]

I saying they could be used as a perpetual motion machine

[serene stone]

WTF bro lol

[azure oriole]

is there a command for meathook cooldown?

i want to see if theres a way to disable the cooldown

[regal walrus]

Weirdo

Bro mad for being called a creep 🤡

🫵🤡

[regal walrus]

There's mods to reduce it

[vale pebble]

proving bros point haha

wheres the fucking buff totem

i hate carcasses

I think they are just really obsessed with DOORS

[undone belfry]

[royal arch]

taras nabad master level is hell

and im on hurt me plenty

[grizzled fossil]

Gyat skibidi 🔥 🗣️🗣️

[kindred void]

Hi guys

[austere bronze]

Yeah, it's really hard

[azure oriole]

what mod

[serene stone]

It's hard, but I also don't really like that master level either

I'd say World Spear, Mars Core, and Cultist Base are the best Master Levels

[young mango]

it’s been a while since I’ve played it, and it’s definitely the hardest master level in my opinion

[serene stone]

Between that or World Spear IMO.

Both are pretty difficult.

[young mango]

as experienced as I am I still dread playing that master level and mentally prepare a bit beforehand, even if it’s not necessary, I’ve gotten my ass handed to me by this level so many times that even though it’s a breeze now, I have learned to view it as ludicrous

[junior token]

Also triple doors

[young mango]

it was the last one I managed to do UN no super weapons on

[silk tinsel]

taras nabad > world spear > mars core > gore nest imo

i fuckin hate the double archie encounter in TN

[serene stone]

I hate it because the frame drops are horrendous on the Console version.

But I also like the creativity and variety it has atleast

[junior token]

World spear?

[serene stone]

TAG 2 level

[junior token]

Oh, thanks

[serene stone]

Something that has always bugged me about Eternal is I never been big on the weapon designs or weapon sound effects

They just seem a bit quiet, plasticy, and light.

I know it's for all the audio ques to be readable well and nothing gets drown out or whatever but still

[royal arch]

how do i activate cheat codes

[shut rivet]

You go to the mission select and you should be able to activate them

[royal arch]

oh ok

[serene stone]

I even prefer the classic Doom gun sound effects lmao. But to be fair those are iconic and full of charm

[stray gulch]

Yeah

[royal arch]

full auto is too fun

[royal arch]

most gun sfx are meh

[serene stone]

In Eternal?

Yeah I agree

But I do like the buffed micro missiles sound.

And the red heat mode plasma rifle

[stray gulch]

Sounds like 👍

[royal arch]

rocket launcher sfx are beautiful, along with precision bolt

[stray gulch]

Yes

The rocket like with the missile search

[serene stone]

I think it's okay.

The rocket launcher sounds in the other DOOM games were better IMO

[glossy warren]

idk man that reload sound is an eargasm

[serene stone]

Buffed micro missiles,
Red heat mode Plasma Rifle,
and microwave beam explosions are probably the only gun sounds I like in Eternal.

[serene stone]

Oh yeah and I guess charging up Arbalest or Destroyer Blade

Though the Destroyer Blade release is often too quiet unless it hits a wall right next to you.

[glossy warren]

destroyer blade release at max is probably my favourite sound in any video game ever

[silk python]

i personally like plasma beam sfx

ngl i was disappointed with the mobile turret sound, i prefer 2016's

[royal arch]

true

[serene stone]

You can barely hear it unless it hits a wall close to you

All you hear is some weird high pitched screaming noise and that's basically it

Unless it hits a close by wall, then it'll create a loud punchy sound

I preferred the Gauss Siege mode sound effect. Didn't matter how far it it was, it was always extremely loud and devasting sounding.

[stray gulch]

Yo Goro Majima

[azure oriole]

there is only one right way to play doom eternal

and that is spamming ss and ballista

jk my favorite weapon combo is that plus the rocket launcher and sniper

that way you use all ammo and when you chainsaw someone you get all of what they drop

[royal arch]

urdak is my 2nd favorite mission

[serene stone]

Final Sin 1st?

[royal arch]

mars core 1st

[azure oriole]

try to pb sticky bomb rocket launcher

sticky bomb can be used as an intermediate weapon between weapons

so pb sb ballista/ssg/rocket launcher

[hoary barn]

@johnromero doom eternal 2 when

Been out for a bit now

Ong

[paper orbit]

HELLO WHY DOES MY DOOM (ON SWITCH) CRASH AT THE SAME PLACE EVERYTIME AND HOW DO I FIX IT

[paper orbit]

it was a required place to go through but its fine i just neede to wait a minute

[austere bronze]

never thought I would have to go through learning new binds in eternal again, but here I am doing exactly that

[slow sigil]

It's eternal, and eternal is good

[paper orbit]

icl, playing it on the portable mode is kinda hard cuz its so small and controller and well controller is hard yknow

[slow sigil]

It's a miracle the game even runs on switch, sometimed it dips to 20 FPS but like, you're still playing eternal

[green path]

It’s 30-45 fps

If on switch OLED, u gonna enjoy it, but if on lite, ur gonna suffer

[paper orbit]

i play on a switch model from 2020 and it works fine, just crashes at one point of the game

[small helm]

Switch port is fine i can think of only 2 instances with minor fps drops: ARC and Immora, and even then it's only in very particular part of levels

[green path]

Yeah, even on the oled, but luckily when u load the game it starts at the point where is crashed exactly

[green path]

Super gore nest master level also, my switch almost turned into a C4

I can say horde mode too, when u reach the holt and advance in it

You get 3 marauders there 💀

[small helm]

Oh fair, these have increased monster count

But main campaigns are pretty much flawlessly running

[azure oriole]

Yknow what they say: it can run doom

[paper orbit]

and im guessing doom eternal crashes everywhere?

even on pc

[austere bronze]

no

[paper orbit]

man i wish i could play on pc, its hard to aim on a controller

[austere bronze]

I frequently play some more demanding mods and it still barely crashes

[small helm]

seriously tho, if you can afford a Steam Deck - just play there , you can have variable fps while staying closer to 60 most of the time at cost of like hour of gameplay comparing to switch

[austere bronze]

it was a while that it would always crash on world spear master level tho
now it doesn't do that anymore

[austere bronze]

that's why there is aim assist :)

[paper orbit]

i turn it off

i think?

cuz everytime my crosshair is near it never "autoaims" so i assume its automatically off

[austere bronze]

turn it back on then if it's hard to aim

[green path]

Yep, sometimes the game reaches its peak in combat and then BOOM it crashes

[pearl viper]

I've had it crash because of some weird motion blur when it was supposed to be off and a setting called "Present to compute"

[green path]

U might experience 50% enjoyment and 50% suffering 😂

I mean it’s gonna be good

But what ik is the switch lite is the worst switch to play on

Yeah kinda

Too make the gameplay much easier on switch, play with the sensitivity option

No look, the game is not hard at all on the switch (if its not having any fps problems), plus it’s like playing on other consoles but with a slight drop in fps 🫠

Only harder difficulties make the game harder

[paper orbit]

yeah i had it crash 4 times in a row at the same place man

[green path]

But when it comes to the switch itself, there are no problems

[green path]

Once it crashed with me like 6 times in one hour, I was playing horde mode for the first time, but now everything is fine. Turns out the switch was just trying to adapt on this game mode no more lol

[royal arch]

i got pb mastery in cultist base

[lucid siren]

Oooh, save me some, I'm vegan.

It is if you don't use meat or dairy.

Not really,it just tastes like plastic. A lot of good things have come from plastic.

[wide girder]

How can i get the zombie slayer?

[lucid siren]

If you make it yourself, you can add as much plastic as you like.

[lucid siren]

You have to kill him and then perform a necromancers resurrection ritual.

[wide girder]

WTF

Well i cant kill him so

[lucid siren]

Either that or you wait for the next zombie apocalypse.

[wide girder]

Fuck it

[azure oriole]

Just tell him that dying means he can meet daisy again

Alternatively u can send him to wyoming

Like... 15?

[lucid siren]

I beat the base campaign in 16 hours first time around.

[austere bronze]

12-15 hours I would say for the base campaign

[wide girder]

Whats your Casual Difficulty in Campaign

[lucid siren]

The DLC is 3 to 5 hours for each, if you make a meal of it.

[austere bronze]

don't know exactly tho since I don't rememeber how long it took me

[austere bronze]

nightmare

[lucid siren]

Just take your time and enjoy it, don't try to rush it to be the best. It's definitely worth the price.

[wide girder]

Same

[austere bronze]

I haven't done ultra nightmare yet but I believe I could do it in 1 attempt

[wide girder]

Its not that hard but the fucking maruader!

[austere bronze]

the marauder isn't hard, just annoying

[lucid siren]

After killing ten Marauders,they become easy.

[wide girder]

Maruader in ultra nightmare

[wide girder]

Try Ultra Nightmare

[austere bronze]

still not hard

he's just a bit annoying

[azure oriole]

Just remember to actually move

[lucid siren]

Honestly the only game I play on the toughest difficulty setting is CoD.

I'd love to try and speed run the game on UN.

But I'm one of these people who likes to get all items, kills and secrets, there's no cutting corners.

[serene stone]

I think my first playthrough was 15-20 hours for 100% back in 2020.

Though I 100%ed it in 6 hours, like a week ago.

[celest stirrup]

a average humans asshole can stretch up to 8 inches. WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO TAKE A SHIT THAT BIG

[analog tusk]

well aint u special..

[celest stirrup]

I said a average person not just me

[azure oriole]

funny way of killing marauder

if your on a place he has to jump to get to you can use the bfg

and when he lands he will fall on his back

[young mango]

or getting him to bring his shield up while he’s jumping over a deathpland

[royal arch]

why are the prowlers green

[austere bronze]

That's cursed prowlers

You'll find out what happens when they hit you :)

[young mango]

[royal arch]

why are the mancubi blue

this mancubus is glowing blue and he fast af

[young mango]

possibly one of my favorite doomcord interactions right now

[young mango]

oh you mean like, he’s possessed?

[royal arch]

ye i figured out how to counter that

do i need dlc to do mission 2 horde mode?

mvm

[serene stone]

Why is Doomguy green.

He's just a rip off of Princess Zelda

[royal arch]

because green is best color

[tacit aspen]

Green is not a creative color 🎵

[austere bronze]

It is a soothing color tho

[tacit aspen]

green and blue as combo, that's why Windows XP had it as wallpaper

[regal walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-west-stare-staring-funny-gif-13590085

[austere bronze]

and that is why fishing is goated

[tacit aspen]

Do you go fishing yourself?

[austere bronze]

both by myself, with my dad and with friends

[tacit aspen]

Must be nice :)

[austere bronze]

it is

I don't even need to catch any fish, I just enjoy standing at a beatiful lake and fishing

[tacit aspen]

One with nature

[austere bronze]

ye, I'm going to by a house besides a lake somewhere in the swedish forests

it's about half the price of a normal house when you're buying in the forest too

[tacit aspen]

Sounds great

[royal arch]

im cooked the barons got armor

[serene stone]

Shoot their hand when they glow

[austere bronze]

And then you can freeze them to kill them in one cycle if you're not good at quick switching

Or stun them with the hammer

Not cuz anyone cares but I just played some cultist base slaughter map and it finally feels like I'm getting some nice speed :)

[young mango]

Nice man, I’ve been considering replaying that level, I was a not as good the last time I played it

later I will play the level again

[green path]

Any switch players here?

[serene stone]

I find the SSG the most fun weapon to punch swap with.

Idk why

[royal arch]

my average combo consists of
Pb + Ssg/Rocket swap

[next adder]

I got the collectors edition today. They are still sold on Amazon

I regretted not getting it back when the game released

[green path]

I just activated all cheats in the first level of tag part 1. I let the chaingun release its inner demon

THAT WAS REALLY SICK

[serene stone]

What about punch swaps?

Or do you not do those?

[austere bronze]

Very few people punch swap

[serene stone]

I know, but they're so fun.

[austere bronze]

They are

Especially sb and rocket

[serene stone]

Also the rapid melee+shoot trick from 2016 is super fun

Though I wouldn't be surprised if none of you know what that is

[serene stone]

Probably because it's fucked on Consoles, but I can't get Sticky Bomb quick swaps to consistently work

Every other punch swap works well and consistently, but not Sticky Bombs. 😦

[austere bronze]

You can only do them up to 5 times in a row

[austere bronze]

I have no idea what it is :)

[serene stone]

It only lets me do 1 or 2, then the game either bugs out, or the punch swap doesn't respond and it works like a regular sticky bomb

Sometimes I can do up to 5

But it's rare

[austere bronze]

huh, weird

[serene stone]

There were like two or three times where I did up to 6. Not sure what's up with that glitch

[austere bronze]

I can usually chain them without problem

[serene stone]

Maybe it's different on PC

[austere bronze]

maybe

[serene stone]

But other punch swaps work well on Console

[austere bronze]

I do have stickies bound to scroll wheel so that might help

[serene stone]

Yeah probably

[austere bronze]

but you can still do it when they are bound to normal keys ofc

I have no idea what's up with your game bugging tbh

[serene stone]

Yeah I know. I did it before.

[serene stone]

I have no idea how it got up to 6 like two or three times as well

Eternal's whack

[austere bronze]

it is

no one can argue with that

so whack that there is no glitchless category for speedruning

[serene stone]

Sticky Bombs does have the beefiest and most satisfying punch swap sound effects though

I can't explain why but it just does

Also the loudest punch swaps by far

[austere bronze]

also the most satisfying in general

second is rocket and third pb

[serene stone]

Doesn't it also do critical damage during punch swaps?

[austere bronze]

I have no idea

I've never heard of that tho

but it wouldn't surprise me

[serene stone]

For me, SSG is the most satisfying, especially when combined into blood swap chains

*blood punch

And if the enemies are on fire

Though I always hated the SSG sound effect. It's so weak and quiet sounding.

[austere bronze]

I don't do blood punch chains tbh

And yeah, ssg sound effect is kinda weak

[serene stone]

Damn. I love that shit

[serene stone]

It's so sad too, because the series generally has amazing sounding SSGs

[austere bronze]

I probably have ptsd from getting close to demons and dying lol

[serene stone]

Even DOOM 3's expansions had a very beefy punchy sounding SSG

[serene stone]

Grenades, ice bombs, and SSG are all good at faltering creating openings for it, also I approach from the air a lot of times , so it's easier to avoid their ground attacks.

Blood punch shockwaves are already faltering surrounding demons too, and SSG does a very very very stupid and ludicrous amount of damage.

[young mango]

2016 doesn’t even have a restricted category, and as for eternal, it’s almost impossible to define what a glitch is

especially in a frame dependent game

when anything on different framerates could be considered unintended

imagine a speedrun being invalidated by a pb rocket because FSE wasn’t an intended feature

[austere bronze]

Yeah ig

[young mango]

obviously that’s silly right? but something IDKFA or bulldozer also aren’t intended, and you DEFINITELY wouldn’t allow that in a run, so that’s why doom eternal is so hard when defining glitches, because like, with no basis to go off of, where is the line drawn?

[austere bronze]

Also, you'd be lucky to get an entire run without a glitch

[young mango]

exactly

or imagine accidentally switching weapons on a monkey bar and BOOM monkey bar BATS and the entire runs invalid

it would be stupid

[serene stone]

Speaking of monkey bars, I always hated those.

Though LightningBreak probably hates them even more than I do

[austere bronze]

Yep, very much so

[austere bronze]

Them being a bit more fluid would be nice

Now they interrupt without offering much

[serene stone]

Also I wish you can control when you use them somehow

Maybe holding down jump could make you use them, instead of it being automatic

[silk tinsel]

the amount of times a monkey bar has thrown me off

[young mango]

AFAIK if you go into them backwards nothing happens, with the only exception being the sentinel village pole clip

[serene stone]

The amount of times I get a really good bunny hop and almost fully charge a really well placed Destroyer Blade for a monkey bar to ruin everything is absurd.

[austere bronze]

It would be interesting to have some more options with them, like being able to not use them and a well timed dash would make you get a bit more momentum or something

[serene stone]

I remember still using them when I go backwards.

[young mango]

yea I could be wrong, I’m not exactly an expert on monkey bars

[serene stone]

I also wish dash didn't reset and have a fixed momentum.

Let's get some Mario Sunshine crazy physics going on with dash and monkey bars

[austere bronze]

Playing with really high fov feels perfectly fine (up to a certain point ofc) but when I'm now watching me play like that it feels so weird

[serene stone]

I remember Hmmmp's super high FoV lol

[austere bronze]

Pretty sure it was the max of 180 lol

[young mango]

I think it’s something like 34 m/s in game, not really adding much here just a cool fact

[serene stone]

Unfortunately you can only go up to 110 FoV on Xbox One.

Though for some reason in photo mode, you can go up to 130 FoV

[young mango]

I remember one time I managed to get completely uncapped FOV and I think it started going upside down or smthn

[regal walrus]

Bruh I get arrested for downloading skin mods

[austere bronze]

Eternals FOV feels so low compared to other games, they should definitely allow you to go higher on every platform

[regal walrus]

☠️

[austere bronze]

The perfect eternal experience

[young mango]

tbh anything beyond 130 is excessive, eternal is only 10 below that

[austere bronze]

Idek what I'm playing on anymore since my FOV is so glitchy

But before it became all glitchy I was playing on 135

[serene stone]

Also you can activate frames in photo mode even on 130 FoV, so IDK why you can't go to 130 FoV in the actual gameplay when exited out of photo mode

[austere bronze]

I still think people should at least have the option to go to 130 without mods

The limit should be above what most people want to play like

[serene stone]

I kinda want to go to 120 FoV, and photo mode proves the Xbox is capable of it, but gameplay mode doesn't allow it for whatever reason

Also default FoV is 90 🤮

[young mango]

Same for pc

[serene stone]

I feel like 100 should probably be the default, but iD Software be iD Software I guess

[austere bronze]

Genuinely wondering how I played like this and why I thought it was a good idea...
https://youtu.be/g8ZSy_nDHg8?si=WQKDOYqC6-AElSvS

[austere bronze]

Making it feel like a horror game

[young mango]

Wait so curious, how many hours do you have in DE?

[austere bronze]

I'm sitting at 490 rn but I have way too many hours of my game being open without me playing

[young mango]

you have a lot of potential tbh

at 490 my gameplay sucked

[serene stone]

Yeah I don't like to judge people on FoV, but I definitely would never play with that

[austere bronze]

Ey, lesgo

[serene stone]

But what works for you is all cool

[austere bronze]

That is honestly just based

[young mango]

@austere bronze Wanna say i was somewhere around the 400 hour count when I posted this, I couldn’t know for sure however https://youtu.be/2ANcH8HnQgY?si=cIuWk8JEym4pedg4

[delicate knot]

Dumb question. But how important is quick switching and all the "meta" type tricks? Is it mostly just for higher difficulties and honing or flexing your skills?

[serene stone]

"microwave beam combos, what is this, a jar of mayonnaise?"

[young mango]

I was experimenting

[serene stone]

Not all that important tbh

[young mango]

looking back on it, dumb gameplay

[serene stone]

I know, I'm just jesting lmfao

[delicate knot]

I just worry that I won't get as much out of the game. Because people online do all this crazy fast, cool stuff! Then I'm here playing like it's 2016 or even Classic...

[young mango]

also I had just figured out how to mod at that point so I had a fucked up game

[austere bronze]

The excessive glory killing is just too relatable lmao

[young mango]

if you listen closely my rocket sound effect is replaced by the vine boom sound effect

[serene stone]

You can get by the game just fine with mostly just SSG+Ballista combos even on Ultra Violence and Nightmare if you know what you're doing.

[austere bronze]

Think I played a large part of my nightmare campaign with only weapon wheel

[young mango]

any gameplay that’s like 3 months or older for the most part I don’t have much im proud about

[austere bronze]

I might be remembering wrong tho

[austere bronze]

Real, it feels like old gameplay gets bad so quick

[young mango]

although this is almost half a year old, and it’s still one of my best feats, granted the gameplay itself isn’t too good, but what I managed to do is https://youtu.be/Bre4lt4cyhU?si=UqlyDKjARi4u4jPQ

[austere bronze]

This was me only 4 months ago
https://youtu.be/ajjYuH7Gqk8?si=l2PtGXOJ6VaN1MJ6

[serene stone]

You can even play 2016 like Eternal.

But IDK, a lot of people who don't do crazy shit, still love the game.

The majority of people infact.

[serene stone]

Crazy how with Eternal, we'll have clips we're proud of in the moment, then they'll age poorly very quickly for ourselves because we'll learn so much and swiftly since then.

Though that can apply to a lot of high skill ceiling games.

[delicate knot]

And are there any big platform quirks/differences? Like, am I really missing anything on Switch aside from mods and crazy graphics?

I believe the general consensus is "play whatever you want, anyone that wants to gatekeep can eat a Blood Punch." (Seriously, y'all are cool like that, THANK YOU.) It’s surprising how chill the community is. For a violent game with a ridiculously high skill ceiling.

[young mango]

a major difference is doom eternal runs on frame dependent physics, and the switch being the switch, well, yea, don’t know much about the other quirks of the version though though

[austere bronze]

Yeah, this is still a wild accomplishment

[serene stone]

I mean. Not that I'm aware. Besides FoV and frame rate settings (though frame rate does make a huge difference tbf)

You can get mods on PC, and it's easier to do crazy shit because of the precision, control, and speed you have with a keyboard.

But that's about it.

[austere bronze]

You just have a bit more freedom basically

[delicate knot]

So basically, physics aren't at their best(still seem pretty good, though) and crazy shit is harder to pull off. But I'm not really interested in it anyway, so it's not a huge loss! (I do NOT need to speed up the carpal tunnel with insane input combos.)

[serene stone]

And fluidity....but I guess that could also be considered freedom

[serene stone]

Yeah, switching weapons is also a bit clunkier on consoles (not talking about quick swaps, just general swapping), but you'll get the hang of it

[delicate knot]

Y'know, I thought portable Eternal would be cool! But unless I use mobile phone data, that's not really possible. Stupid online multi-player... I've heard that's kinda meh anyway.

[serene stone]

I never touched Eternal's multiplayer even once. Despite playing 1,500 hours.

[silk tinsel]

i only played it to 100% achivements

[serene stone]

I tried watching gameplay of it before and bleugh. Never want to try it

Also everyone says it sucks anyway

2016 had a pretty good multiplayer though IMO. Like it wasn't perfect, but it had a lot of potential and cool aspects

[calm axle]

How come unlocking all of the weapon mods didn’t give me the trophy? 😐

[young mango]

if you master all of them it will, finding them alone won’t give you a trophy

[austere bronze]

I'm kinda interested in trying it out again but I cannot be bothered to delete all my mods

[young mango]

You don’t gotta delete them you can just remove them from your mod folder and then run modinjector again with no mods in

[austere bronze]

But meathook is still there

[young mango]

wdym, meathook should be entirely separate from the modinjector, just in the DE directory, as long as it’s anywhere but there, meath00k won’t be actively running

[austere bronze]

Oh

Then I might actually play multiplayer for the first time in like...

Idk even

Don't even think I actually played a battlemode game💀

I only did the tutorial I believe

[young mango]

you’re either gonna go against the best battlemode player to ever exist, or somebody who’s never heard of doom eternal before and somehow managed to buy it

No inbetween

[silk tinsel]

if ur able to get into a match

[young mango]

that too

[austere bronze]

Lmao

[calm axle]

I have everything unlocked and mastered. I don’t have the trophy

[young mango]

idk, sometimes achievements just glitch out, eternals buggy

[calm axle]

💔

All that for no reason, I’m disappointed. Especially because I love 100% games

[silk tinsel]

did you get unmakyr?

maybe thats it idk

[calm axle]

There ain’t a mastery for that weapon 🧍🏽‍♂️

[silk tinsel]

my bad

thought it was all weapons and mods

[serene stone]

I thought MP had the meathook

[austere bronze]

Meathook or ig meath00k is a mod that enables console commands

[serene stone]

Oh. Interesting

[serene stone]

Now that I think about it, I think I did the tutorials

[calm axle]

You know after you beat The Icon of Sin? What’s the song when Doom Slayer is walking away?

[glossy warren]

at dooms gate from doom: 2016

[calm axle]

🤝🏼

They should’ve made the track longer 😩

[azure oriole]

My favorite part of doom eternal is when the doom slayer leaped from building to building to get to the icon of sin

[azure oriole]

Doom is temporary,bugs are eternal

[stray gulch]

Hi

[strange gale]

this is near impossible btw

[royal arch]

does anyone play with empowered demons enabled

[azure oriole]

i do

[calm axle]

So real ✊🏼😔💔

I think the bug has something to do with that one cheat code that unlocks all mods and masteries

[royal arch]

“you cannot stop the procession” cliche villain ahh line

i genuinely cringed when she said that

[serene stone]

Aka E1M1 from DOOM 1993

[serene stone]

I'd love to be in a world where Eternal isn't extremely buggy 24/7
