doom-eternal

[azure oriole]

but

i beat horde mode on ultra violence

it felt so amazing

[safe prism]

it’s an achievement in ur mind friend and that’s all that matters

https://tenor.com/view/gato-joia-gif-27503164

[glass trellis]

Not super Gore nest but second half of Cultist Base mission and first half of DOOM hunter base

[indigo iris]

https://tenor.com/view/archvile-doom-doom-eternal-poopy-poop-gif-6194649044683122767

[steep edge]

If I'm not completely wrong one Russian on pc almost compete UN Super Gore Nest Master Level, but failed with escape

So... The number of deaths on absolute nightmare in any form is an indicator of your skill - the more deaths, the worse the skill

[serene stone]

That's a completely different point though.

That's not their first playthrough of the game ever

[steep edge]

That's fair. I think you're talking about guys with about 200 hours experience, but this Russian don't try ever Super Gore Nest before and he made it to escape which is quite impressive for the first.

[young mango]

I’m a guy talking from 2000 hours of experience 😛

[azure oriole]

Do ya’ll have any good mod recommendations

[austere bronze]

Level mods?

[azure oriole]

Yep

[heavy chasm]

Hey does anyone know what the next content we will get i just cleared the sgt pain

[azure oriole]

I hate hellknights

Who knows we don’t know what you play lol

[heavy chasm]

Doom eternal?

Sgt pain was a skin that we get a cosmetic for reaching level 43 in the pass looking thing

[austere bronze]

I am currently playing a ton of unreclaimed earth, but I'm guessing you already know about that level

But offwine's SGN level is great

Along with the custom levels

The hardest custom level is bob-omb battlefield and then chessboard can be a good challenge

[azure oriole]

What game mode

[azure oriole]

I prefer vanilla

A mod that makes it hard without nerfing your arsenal would be great

[austere bronze]

I don't know any like that

But you can increase damage to the player, extra enemy speed and less damage to enemies

I've played around with all of these and it's great fun

[lusty sable]

If i have a 60 hz monitor but 120 fps will i still get the advantages when you get good fps

[rough slate]

Is the dlcs worth it

[azure oriole]

Yes but not at full price

[azure oriole]

Minor but yes

[lusty sable]

Neat

[exotic blaze]

to me its really weird

but when you have more fps it feels more responsive

although you still have 60hz refresh rate the game just feels so much smoother

[lusty sable]

So i should turn off v sync then

[exotic blaze]

id say yes but i think its personal preference

[jolly kernel]

what do you guys think of this (not meant to be advertising btw, just decided to make a benchmark test)

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

[acoustic lark]

Just a lil feedback for vids like this, try makin the performance stats a bit bigger

was rly hard to read on mobile

Other than that, i always love benchmark vids with real gameplay, not synthethic shit

[jolly kernel]

do you ever get stutters in Eternal, Kex? if so, how often do they happen?

[acoustic lark]

Uhhh not that i recall any

Tho im on a 4090 and a 7950X3D so...

[halcyon comet]

I don't know if this is a hot take but I really liked the intern guy in TAG 1

[somber rain]

Pretty sure intern guy is GOAT

nobody really hates him

[halcyon comet]

I haven't really been in the doom community before so idk what people think of things

[acoustic lark]

Intern should get his own spinoff game

10/10, would buy

[halcyon comet]

The day in the life of someone working at arc

[somber rain]

I'd like to see someone replace the doom slayer head model with the intern guy head lol.

[lament bluff]

Nah he is peak NPC

[lament bluff]

“Intern Goes to Hell”

[lament bluff]

Hayden: “you can’t just shoot a hole into the surface of mars”
Intern: “okay so you’re gonna blow hell up? Got it, here’s the coordinates.”

[lilac dirge]

Jokes aside it’s nice to see someone who genuinely sees the Slayer as this celebrity of some sorts, and respects him for all that he’s done for the planet

[lament bluff]

Exactly. Intern trusts that the Slayer knows what he’s doing and doesn’t try to baby him.

[halcyon comet]

Yeah instead of treating him like he's gonna hurt humanity

[lilac dirge]

I don’t honestly blame the other humans for being scared even though they shouldn’t be, I probably would as well

[halcyon comet]

Hayden

Then again he has his own agenda so

[lament bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-gif-26848706

[lilac dirge]

Bro I didn’t think Hayden could be anymore of a petty dick- and then i was thoroughly proven wrong

[halcyon comet]

Tag 1?

[lilac dirge]

Yes

[fringe torrent]

I mean considering how that woman in ARC Complex speaks of him, I'd be scared shitless

[lilac dirge]

There’s an alarm built in just for the guy walking around, they expect me to stay calm?!

[lament bluff]

Bro she literally says “gods aren’t real” then later doubles back and says “never mind they are real and he is one”

[halcyon comet]

Guy could make pancakes and the alarm would sound

He could dress like a cat or something and they'd still be scared

[lament bluff]

“Attention all ARC personnel: the Slayer has made pancakes. He is currently putting syrup. Oh my god! He even put butter on it!”

[halcyon comet]

HE PUT STRAWBERRIES EVERYONE RUN

[lament bluff]

“He added whipped cream. Call your families. You aren’t going home.”

[halcyon comet]

He walks towards the cafeteria and everyones just holding their breath because they're so sacred and he sits and eats

[lament bluff]

Dude the cutscene where he’s walking to the BFG10k is so amazing. That one guard is like “I’d like to see him try.” then promptly shits his pants when the Slayer walks up.

[lilac dirge]

I know the plasma scene was added even though you were supposed to get the weapon later but as it is now just the fact he takes the plasma rifle when he already has one is peak comedy

[lament bluff]

So true.

Hot take: VEGA is the beta version of Intern

[lilac dirge]

Or even Vega, I love Vega, dude is like the anti Hayden because I want him by my side at all times

[lament bluff]

Bro we are literally on the exact same wavelength rn

[lilac dirge]

I mean let’s be real- how can you not like Vega?

[halcyon comet]

I love vega

So deadpan yet full of life

[lament bluff]

Hayden: “You can’t just shoot a hole into the surface of mars.”
Vega: “releasing locks”

[halcyon comet]

Does doomguy just have two plasma guns?

[lament bluff]

Dual wields lol

[lilac dirge]

I mean he keeps an extra of every gun in his gaming room so maybe

[lament bluff]

Bro imagine dual wielding.

[lilac dirge]

I don’t know how the fuck he has two Unmakyrs

[halcyon comet]

AND THEN LAUNCHES HIMSELF IN A GIANT GUN INTO MARS

Borderlands the pre sequel style

[lament bluff]

Hayden literally has an aneurysm during that whole cutscene

[lilac dirge]

Doom Slayer just mashing the shoot button while Vega asks if he wants the slayer to allow him to fire it was also a cool moment

[halcyon comet]

He's just like me fr fr

[lament bluff]

tap tap tap tap tap

[halcyon comet]

"hehe button go clicky OH SH-"

[lament bluff]

Nah he 100% knew what was about to happen

We see them shooting the BFG10K while fighting through the level. The Slayer definitely knew.

[lilac dirge]

And after that you get a meatball fiesta, after I finish Ancient Gods Part 2 I’ll do a bunch of discussion stuff

[lament bluff]

Oh you haven’t finished TAG2? Have fun

[lilac dirge]

I hope I do, I’m going in with an open mind, I know it’s controversial, or at least back then it was

[halcyon comet]

Yeah I know just funny idea

[lament bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/mc-hammer-stop-hammer-time-cant-touch-this-super-freak-hip-hop-gif-24612402

[halcyon comet]

I'm playing through tag2 as my first nightmare experience

[lament bluff]

“TAG2 spoilers out of context”

[lilac dirge]

I know there is a hammer, I have no idea how he’s supposed to use it in combat though when he has a chainsaw-

[lament bluff]

I did main campaign, and TAG1 on UV then I did TAG2 nightmare

[lament bluff]

He’s the Slayer, he just does.

[austere bronze]

hammer busted, hammer gets used

[lament bluff]

You forget that he carries like 8 different guns in his back pocket

[lilac dirge]

It can’t be more busted than the crucible

[austere bronze]

it is

[lament bluff]

Hehehe

[lilac dirge]

WHAT

[lament bluff]

bonk

[austere bronze]

it's better than the BFG

not per usage, but it's so easy to charge that it becomes better

[lilac dirge]

You’re telling me… a hammer is mightier than the sword

[lament bluff]

Absolutely

The hammer can be recharged easily

That is what makes it better than the crucible and BFG

[lilac dirge]

Is it just like the sword pick ups?

[lament bluff]

Sometimes

[lilac dirge]

Ah I see then

[lament bluff]

Btw, make sure to do the encounters

Both parts.

Make that hammer beefy

[lilac dirge]

Alrighty

[austere bronze]

he's talking about the escalation encounters here

[lament bluff]

Can’t it be charged with the glory kills?

I forget.

[lilac dirge]

Excuse me-

[austere bronze]

the hammer gets charged by weak point destruction and glory kills

[lament bluff]

Right that’s it

[austere bronze]

and 2 in total is enough

[lament bluff]

Don’t forget the weak point blast rune.

[austere bronze]

so 1 weak point and 1 GK, or 2 of each

[lilac dirge]

That can’t be real-

[lament bluff]

It is 100% real

[lilac dirge]

I get glory kills but weak points?

[lament bluff]

Just wait until you power the hammer all the way up

It gets better

[austere bronze]

i can tell you roughly how it works, if you want

[lilac dirge]

I assume it just bonks everything but I’m curious now

[lament bluff]

It’s like a chainsaw but with aoe (it drops health and ammo, especially when paired with fire and ice bombs)

[halcyon comet]

Y'all are making me wanna play it more now

I was gonna try and go back to sleep because I got nothing to do

[lilac dirge]

Final Sin was a bloody awesome final level

[austere bronze]

when you use it you fly up and then down to smash the hammer into the ground, when you land it stuns enemies around you and deals 800 damage (1 rocket deals 900), it also gives you ammo and armor

so it's basically infinite ammo and armor from it

[lament bluff]

You’re gonna sleep while the Icon of Sin is still on earth?!

[austere bronze]

and it gets charged incredibly easy

[lament bluff]

It can also extend the stun on marauders

[lilac dirge]

NAH

[lament bluff]

Yes

[austere bronze]

play it then :)

[lilac dirge]

So…. I basically get an extra ice bomb which does insane damage-

[halcyon comet]

I beat the main campaign

[lilac dirge]

Well not insane, but still

[lament bluff]

And it refills ammo

[halcyon comet]

I need to play tag2

[lament bluff]

Nah I was just joking “the longer the icon of sin is on earth, the more powerful he becomes”

[halcyon comet]

Ohhh

[austere bronze]

it doesn't stun as long, but it gives you a stupid amount of armor and ammo to go with it

[lament bluff]

Hayden was so annoying with that constant reminder

[lilac dirge]

He’s annoying in general

[lilac dirge]

Oh I’m gonna love using it, I can tell

[lament bluff]

Yeah if you pair it with the flame belch and ice bomb, groups of demons become piñatas

[austere bronze]

yeah i dont use it at all lol

[lilac dirge]

All of a sudden all enemies are now Makyr drones

I don’t blame you, it sounds ridiculous

[austere bronze]

it is

[lament bluff]

I got so used to conserving the crucible that I didn’t use the hammer nearly as much as I should’ve. I did use it a bunch on UN though

[austere bronze]

basically as soon as you get it you can use it

and you can literally charge it by accident

[lament bluff]

But it becomes more powerful by completing the escalation encounters

Just the first part btw, the second part is optional but definitely fun.

[austere bronze]

the second parts of escalation encounters are the best things with tag2

[lament bluff]

So real.

They’re more difficult, but it’s worth it.

Only time I didn’t run them was my UN

I still did two of the second parts but skipped one of them

I forget which one I skipped, but I think it was the last one.

[lilac dirge]

The campaign as a whole was very strong for me, I found a bunch of stuff and collected a lot of toys because they’re cool, I didn’t even have many issues, I loved how certain enemies worked and how they’re strengths increased within the changed environments, all the weapons besides one were extremely useful and fun to use as well, the endgame of not being able to come back to the ship was excellently done as well

[lament bluff]

Yeah I 100%’ed the campaign when they said I wouldn’t come back. And then I completed everything as I went.

I’m still a bit salty that my first UN run was ruined by the icon of sin spawned cacodemons and pinkies for stage 2

There were so many running around and I was trying to focus on the icon of sin, pinkies, cacos, it was a mess.

[lilac dirge]

The Icon is a really damm tough fight, especially the second part of it, even though sometimes it feels like you’re just fighting an arena with an environmental hazard

Is that your whole thing? Just typing the same unfunny number?

[lament bluff]

I’m glad it was a bit more difficult. I was worried that I had gotten so overpowered that I would just shred him. So glad that I genuinely struggled with it.

The worst thing was my first UN run, I had him one hit away, and a cacodemon flew up behind me and bit me as I went for the kill. I stopped playing eternal for a couple days after that.

[austere bronze]

i agree, the base campaign is very good

[azure oriole]

Hey yall

I'm new

[austere bronze]

and the plasma rifle sucking is a bit sad, but it is what it is ig

hi, welcome

[lilac dirge]

My only real main gripe, and it’s small, is the Unmakyr, it’s just not a good enough reward for completing the slayer gates

[lament bluff]

I’m just glad it didn’t give me hearing damage like the OG plasma rifle

[lilac dirge]

You gonna keep typing numbers like it will get you anywhere buddy?

Stop spamming

[lament bluff]

TRUE!!! I wish it had its own ammo. It used the ammo too quickly and I wish it wasn’t paired with the BFG, other than that, super fun weapon to use when playing with the infinite ammo cheat code.

[austere bronze]

i have a couple gripes, and the unmaykr is a part of that

[lament bluff]

It was so awesome in doom 64 that I’m so glad they brought it back, but I’m sad that it was a bit too weak because of the low ammo

[lilac dirge]

I just don’t understand, even with its whole concept of being able to kill heavy demons, being a single target destroyer in contrast of the BFG killing all the fodder…

AND THEN I FIND OUT, you get the crucible…. Right around the exact same time you get the Unmakyr….. a weapon that does its job better than it

[halcyon comet]

for a gun called the unmakyr it sure sucks

[austere bronze]

yeah, it eats through the ammo very quickly and barely deals more damage than regular quick switching

[halcyon comet]

its really sad that its that bad

i was kinda hype to get it when i heard it was in the game as doom 64 is my fave classic doom

[lilac dirge]

Even shooting the thing doesn’t feel as impactful as it should

I wouldn’t even have minded if it shared plasma ammo instead

[austere bronze]

still wouldn't have been that good

[lilac dirge]

Yeah exactly and that’s the thing, the Crucible is a better Unmakyr, then the Unmakyr

It’s ironic because even if the Crucible didn’t exist it still wouldn’t give it any reason to be used in comparison to the BFG

[austere bronze]

precisely

[lament bluff]

Alright, I gtg guys. I’ve got class starting in less than 10 minutes

[austere bronze]

bye

[halcyon comet]

im gonna play battle mode for a bit to get warmed up

[austere bronze]

nice, hope you find a match!

[halcyon comet]

ive found quite a few on ps5

then again that was last night

found one lol

[austere bronze]

that was speedy

[halcyon comet]

my ping is too bad to play it lol

i dont like this arena with sticky flood

okay i cheesed it with bfg

[halcyon comet]

does anyone else like syncing your playing to music

[austere bronze]

i usually play something in the background, but i dont much care for what is playing or when

[halcyon comet]

@austere bronze im stuck

not like by death but i think the game bugged

[austere bronze]

what's happening?

[halcyon comet]

theres a spinning skull that i think is suppost to be a meat hook point?

but its just gray

i fixed it

had to reload a checkpoint

[lament bluff]

It probably means that you didn’t meet the requirements

Or that some demon is still alive

[hollow portal]

Who will teach me how to play doom eternal well?

who is not lazy

[steady ember]

...

[austere bronze]

i could maybe give some pointers if you could show me a video of you playing

but im no great player

[storm eagle]

lies on lies

[hollow portal]

Unfortunately, I can't show you 😦

[austere bronze]

then i dont think theres that much i can do

besides just pointing out some general stuff

[hollow portal]

well okay

[azure oriole]

after 300h i found out you can break the armored baron's armor with plasma rifle lol

oh yeah its super satisfying

[royal arch]

wait you can do that?

[azure oriole]

sure can

took like 40 cells i think

idk the exact amount

[strange gale]

it's not a terrible option if you multiblast

[quaint scarab]

Only natural for you to be slaying demons

[frank drum]

you can stun the guy with heatblast too

[frank drum]

yup the sfx is

also just discovered you can damage the marauder with stickies at the floor

[young mango]

300 hours and didn’t have enough time to check an in game tutorial

[pseudo thistle]

oh so none of my progress carries over when i launch with mods?? why???

oh wait nvm

all my unlocks are still there my level is just reset

[young mango]

Seperate profile.bin 😛 ( for some reason )

and separate saves

because they’re literally all empty

[pseudo thistle]

thats stupid :)

[pseudo thistle]

god the only people playing battle mode are really good demons and a level 7 slayer

i am not good enough at slayer to try and fight them

[young mango]

I told you

[graceful trail]

are there any mod discord servers for eternal? ive never modded it and would like to try it

[royal arch]

what is the fastest way to farm lvls in doom eternal

[graceful trail]

kill demons idk

been playing horde mode and its been getting me levels

[young mango]

honestly “farming levels” in doom eternal is incredibly boring and tedious, considering you only go up one level per mission completed, and factoring in how the definitive cap is 12250 levels ( reaching prestige 8 times, then repeating the process 5 more times, totaling 6 prestige tiers ) you’re honestly better off just passively gaining it by playing the game, but if you want to “grind” per-say, I suppose one of the most efficient ways would be doing sentinel prime over and over again with the onslaught cheat code and infinite ammo, and whatever else aids you in that process going smoother. I do also recall that dying to the marauder at the end of arc complex provides a tiny bit of progression towards your level. If you’re on PC you could also just skip the whole process of this by just doing some editing shenanigans with your profile.bin

MMAFRO, probably the only person to ever reach max prestige via normal methods, said it took him 4000 hours

[royal arch]

i js need to farm lvls for the event coming out tomorrow

[young mango]

you are in no rush, probably, ever since they started conglomerating those things together, they give you a solid 3 months at least for that stuff

[full crystal]

When will the mod support update come out of beta?

[humble lichen]

Next event drop yet?

[azure oriole]

Photo mode is still in beta so never

[woeful belfry]

whats the difference between punch canceling rockets and quickswitching between PB and rocket is one better then the other

[young mango]

they’re pretty much identical in terms of DPS, although punch cancelling rockets has the situational advantage of providing more splash damage

[azure oriole]

i hate the marauder's dogs

[serene stone]

I hate their obnoxious sound effects, especially due to how ludicrously loud it is

[novel token]

splash damage and you save your PB ammo

[tame topaz]

It just occurred to me that the cut pistol is literally the Battle Rifle from 2016's multiplayer.

[simple pawn]

[eternal halo]

Bro is chowing down on thanos

[eternal halo]

Yes. My first one

[hollow portal]

@eternal halo How did you get the crown for your avatar?

[viscid cloud]

Battlemode ain't as dead as I thought it was 🔥

[light panther]

That pfp is cursed

How many times has everyone beaten the game, with both DLCs ofc

I only have twice under my belt, once I've beaten a game, I feel satisfied enough to not really touch it until I really feel like I wanna replay it again

[austere bronze]

I've gone through each campaign once

But i did 1/2 of the base campaign once too

[gusty pebble]

do you need to be at quakecon to get the quakecon items cuz i just recieved them out of nowhere

[storm eagle]

Twice, once on the easiest and once on Nightmare. TAG1 and 2 maybe have gone through around 40 times each. Modded levels mainly the last 2 months

[devout atlas]

I haven't played DOOM in days because Kingdom Come Deliverance has me addicted

https://tenor.com/view/kingdom-come-deliverance-kcd-good-morning-good-morrow-my-lords-good-morrow-kcd-good-morrow-gif-8958414962865427032

[austere bronze]

That's fair, it's a great game

[devout atlas]

Unironically has me hooked

The combat is so FUN

I wish I had a better rig to appreciate the game even more

My PC is old

And it's struggling

[hollow granite]

New fall mega event is back I can finally get 64 slayer skin let’s goooooo

[cloud harness]

64 skin is in?
Shit I gotta get to playing

[royal arch]

zombie slayer is no longer available right?

[eternal halo]

Fortnite

[fringe torrent]

It is if you ask support for it

[royal arch]

dang

[eternal halo]

But it's not available anymore

And it's gone now

[royal arch]

i just played my first few battlemode matches

got cooked horribly

[azure oriole]

[austere bronze]

Sounds accurate, often you'll face someone with a lot of battlemode experience

[azure oriole]

And p2p only makes it worse

[lost ferry]

p2p in battle mode?

[halcyon comet]

Are the servers down?

It's not letting me connect

Nvm

I had to complain

@austere bronze I just beat tag2 on nightmare

[austere bronze]

well done!

what'd you think?

[halcyon comet]

I enjoyed it

The final boss was a bit tough but fun

Don't really get the ending though

[austere bronze]

a lot of people didn't

[austere bronze]

i am the opposite for both of these lol

[steady ember]

neither of the DLC bosses do it for me

[azure oriole]

Good now so it again without dying

[austere bronze]

no, that's boring...

[steady ember]

hope dark ages has some really good boss fights

[azure oriole]

Who knows

It has a lot to live up to

[steady ember]

they could just do some crazy bullet patterns

[azure oriole]

I honestly don’t care about what it’s trying to do as long as it’s fun

My only worry is bethesda fking with ID

[steady ember]

I don't think you have to worry about bethesda

[azure oriole]

Never will i trust them with anything

[steady ember]

and I don't think you have to worry about Id, I imagine microsoft sees Doom as a really valuable IP

[azure oriole]

I love id but bethesda has the final say

[frank drum]

touhou fans rise up

[azure oriole]

Microsoft just cares about gamepass so i don’t think they really give 2 shis about doom lol

[steady ember]

they need games to put on gamepass

this is where all the studios they bought comes in

[azure oriole]

At least we got mods for eternal if dark ages flops

[steady ember]

I mean, sure? I don't know why you're jumping to that conclusion lol

I am under the impression that bethesda is generally hands off from id, just because it seems like they were allowed to make the game they wanted to make with Eternal

[azure oriole]

I just have 0 integrity for bethesda

Chances are low but never 0

[steady ember]

the past 2 doom games were both published by bethesda...

[steady ember]

yes

that's what it will be

[azure oriole]

You can love the game but dislike the company

[steady ember]

I've never played Touhou

[steady ember]

no he's saying bethesda is going to somehow ruin TDA

this isn't about liking a company, just unfounded paranoia

[azure oriole]

Don’t care they killed fallout

[azure oriole]

Oh well thats also possible though

Porbably wont but still cant guarantee nothing

[azure oriole]

They did before and they’ll do it again

I just don’t want it to be doom

[steady ember]

they don't make doom

Id makes doom

[azure oriole]

oh yeah you right

I was wondering why bethesda was doing something right

I just hope Elder Scrolls VI is good

[steady ember]

only time will tell

I'm not really into games like that

[warped cove]

@cyan turret dude i beat a Mastery level on nightmare

[slow sigil]

sadly supporting the game always means automatically supporting the company by proxy anyways

[steady ember]

I don't feel bad about spending money on things, if you do, then don't ever look into anything you buy

[slow sigil]

especially if you buy a game, you're not supporting the devs at all with it only the company and it's shareholders (though i do not know how good the "new" zenimax union is)

[steady ember]

because at some point you are funding some evil shit

[slow sigil]

"at some point"
you basically always do under the current systems

[steady ember]

yeah, so I don't think about that

or at least I try not to

[slow sigil]

the amount of "moral" companies are slim and outcompeted because exploitation is encouraged by the systems

under current capitalism, any consumption is automatically immoral

[viral sapphire]

man figuring out which keybinds to use in this game is troublesome

[steady ember]

well probably shouldn't get too far into this discussion considering the rules :p

(not saying I disagree just that maybe we shouldn't here)

[slow sigil]

yeah and discussion won't really change anything either, discussion alone shall never change it

[steady ember]

future president reading the doom eternal channel on the official doom discord: 🤔

[austere bronze]

just put make some you think look good and see if they're comfortable

[slow sigil]

a singular president won't be able to do it either

[steady ember]

I was joking 💀

[slow sigil]

what can a single government ruler do against the onslaught of multinational corporations and their corrupt "lobbyed" politicians worldwide?

[viral sapphire]

I tried binding all quick swap combo weapons on the mouse (mouse side buttons and wheel) but I realized that was a bad idea once I got the rocket launcher, now I dont know what to use tbh

[austere bronze]

use the keys around your movement keys

[slow sigil]

use buttons around wasd, weapons on your mouse can mess with your muscle memory too much

[viral sapphire]

yeah exactly, pressing mouse 4 to mouse wheel down for pbrocket combo felt awful

I dont want to sacrifice movement either, its complicated

[slow sigil]

you won't sacrifice too much movement in practice

[austere bronze]

yea you won't really sacrifice any movement

[viral sapphire]

I ll probably end up doing this

[azure oriole]

Same for every game lol

How are mouse buttons messing up your movement anyway unless you have weird binds like mouse2 for moving forwards or something

[frank drum]

nah i use my two side mouse button to as weapon buttons

[lost ferry]

I just use mouse wheel

[frank drum]

my keybindings:
RL: q and e
HC: side mouse button 1
SSG: side mouse button 2
plasma: c and z
shoutgun: x
balista: alt left
chaingun: tab
dash: block mayus
icebomb: shit left
bomb: win
chainsaw: mouse wheel up
swap mod: mouse wheel down
flame belch: 1 and r
melee: f

[viral sapphire]

mouse buttons werent messing up my movement, they were messing up quick switching

[frank drum]

is totally viable

[jolly kernel]

does Eternal run much better on an ssd compared to a hdd? for example do levels load much faster and the game is more stable with barely any stutters compared to when playing on an hdd?

[slow sigil]

i prefer equipment but fair

[slow sigil]

depends on the specs of your hdd/ssd

[austere bronze]

i use mouse wheel, but i have designated weapons to it

[lost ferry]

A side-scrollable mouse wheel can come in handy

[azure oriole]

Eternal is my only singleplayer game on my ssd every other single player or non-pvp games are on my hdd

[jolly kernel]

Eternal has this really annoying problem on my pc where when I launch the game and start a level, the level takes a long time to load and the game gets insane amounts of stutters

[azure oriole]

What about leaving the weapon binds to the default 1-7

[jolly kernel]

restarting the level fixes it, but it happens everytime I launch the game

I searched about possible fixes and none of them worked. disabling present from compute, changing the window option to fullscreen

[viral sapphire]

quick switching turns into finger stretching olympics for me

[azure oriole]

You’re not the first with a similar issue

[austere bronze]

just way better to have your weapons close by your movement keys, or somewhere accessible

[viral sapphire]

quite the predicament unfortunately

[jolly kernel]

me?

[frank drum]

you actually quick switching or just switching?

[viral sapphire]

quick switching

[azure oriole]

Yea

[jolly kernel]

god damn man what causes it

Eternal otherwise runs perfectly at the 125 fps cap I put for it

[austere bronze]

It isn't that bad, just rebind your weapons

[royal arch]

what is yalls favorite quakecon skin

[young mango]

there’s only two of them lol

[steep narwhal]

Oh man I don't know which skin to chose from becasue they look so good.

[violet zealot]

Zombie Slayer

[steep narwhal]

Yes for sure.

[austere bronze]

The normal skin

[steep narwhal]

Oh yeah for sure the normal skin is pretty good.

[royal arch]

classic doomguy

[royal arch]

which of the two do u think are better

also does everyone just automatically get them at the start of each event?

[steep narwhal]

Classic doomguy for sure.

[serene stone]

Ebony Praetor

Oh wait we're talking about QuakeCon skins. Nevermind

[young mango]

damn near 2000 hours in this game and I am realizing the the reason I’ve been inconsistent with rocket punchswapping into SLOB in the past is just because I wasn’t pressing right click fast enough, now I’m getting it literally every time

[stone belfry]

God i hate marauders, i had to chansaw 2 zombies just to kill one cause i kept missing my shots and time windows

[frank drum]

lolololol

hes so ass

[boreal plank]

Hi ppl o/

New

[little folio]

Heello

[stone belfry]

im not ass i just got rusty

[stone belfry]

hello

[lilac dirge]

I don’t blame you, I don’t struggle with the Marauder but he has very narrow windows despite the clear tells, his hp as well means he’s someone you either kill first or last

Sorry, kill as in prioritise

[stone belfry]

yeah my first encounter with him was pretty brutal, i had 16 extra lives and ended with 5 after him, I had just got back from a week of vacation so i was rusty then too

i didn't know how to fast swap very well

[lilac dirge]

Don’t feel bad about that, the Marauder is psychically made for you to use quick switch and fast reactions in order to deal damage, he can also be pretty annoying with the dogs when he gets a chance to spawn them

Killing him requires a bit of skill and good movement but once you get it down he becomes a lot more manageable

Congrats on beating him

[little folio]

I started to kick his teeth in when I learned one of the combos to deal with him

I use supershotgun and ballista I don't really do anything else

[stone belfry]

Yeah i got better with quick swaps but now i just had the dogs and other demons

[stone belfry]

yeah thats what i use

[little folio]

[lilac dirge]

Ssg and Ballista in general is such a quick combo, I don’t think anything really compares to it

[spice jungle]

uh, rocket precision bolt?

it is the highest DPS combo in the game

[stone belfry]

two shots from ssg and one from billista takes down a non-buffed hell night im pretty sure

[stone belfry]

rockets aren't fast enough to hit fast moving targets such as the Marauder

[lilac dirge]

I haven’t even tried rockets on the marauder so I have no idea

[spice jungle]

ah on the marauder

[lilac dirge]

That’s on me, I should’ve clarified

[stone belfry]

Well he gets really close so you'll damage yourself a lot

[novel token]

PB + SSG close combat is faster and does more damage

[lilac dirge]

It does? Well I’ll be dammed

[young mango]

although it may be versatile, it is not the highest dps combo in the game, and if you extend your definition of combo beyond a two weapon cycle, that definition becomes fairly arbitrary very quickly

[spice jungle]

Ive heard it is, what is it then?

[lilac dirge]

Weapon cycling is addicting, even if I suck it’s still really cool to do

[young mango]

as previously stated by marcel, pb ssg is what I’d consider at the top if we go by the stringent definition of

1. cycling between just two weapons back and forth
2. no weapon tech used

[spice jungle]

I thought pb RL deals more damage tho

[young mango]

pb is 400 damage, RL is 900, SSG is 1600, so although pb ssg cycles between the two weapons at a slower pace, it makes up for it with raw damage, and to elaborate on why by this logic ssg ballista doesn’t deal more despite having 860 damage for the ballista, the ballista has a slower bring up speed to the point where it is outmatched by the intervals of 400 and 1600

[spice jungle]

I see, PB RL still seems better to use on tanky enemies tho since you got more range with it

[young mango]

that part i am not disputing, I know these things have their versatility, but I did want to debunk the claim that it provided “the highest DPS”

[lilac dirge]

you’ve made me interested in dps scaling now

Im gonna go look into it

[young mango]

honestly beyond a surface level, the idea of a “combo” is such a loose term that honestly if we were doing no holds barred except for the fact that it would need to fit the criteria of a “combo” I don’t think it’d have an easy answer that’s readily apparent

lots of stuff needing to be in vacuums or having to exclude things out of them answering a scenarios question via uninteresting means

[lilac dirge]

I get what you’re saying, it just honestly seems fun to talk about, I don’t think the combos would be as fun to discuss if the weapons weren’t as well designed just on their own to begin with, for some reason I’ve just become intrigued by something a simple as switching a weapon and seeing how efficient it is to switch from one to others

[young mango]

like I get by making this example in specific, I am definitely taking the piss with semantics here, but just to make a point, via the loose definitions of a “combo” in a no holds barred scenario, what is simply stopping me from just firing any weapon before executing something akin to this and calling it a combo? there’s definitely a line to be drawn I just don’t know where: https://youtu.be/OK3bVmiORRk?si=E-VWtDZfFzHLTzj5

[regal walrus]

[lilac dirge]

Yeah exactly, I think the existence of quick switching contributes to your point as well

There’s also when an enemy briefly staggers and you capitalise on that short window by damaging an enemy that can’t do anything in that small moment, that’s when it truly feels like it’s a combo, when the weapon you’re using contributes to what happened previously, like of course Ice bomb then Grenade, the microwave beam then doing full auto, the precision bolt then doing a super shotgun blast, all that good stuff

[idle cove]

My current ways to chip health off the marauder in a heavy fight would be with the ballista and sticky bombs. Haven't tried rockets, might be a bit useful in a pinch?

[rough slate]

Are the two dlcs worth it?

[warped cove]

@cyan turret dude i beat a mastery level on nightmare

[novel vector]

they're shorter but yeah they're fun

[rough slate]

Do they go on sale often on ps

[tidal nymph]

So the highest DPS combo in the game is punch swap SSG, if you hit the enemy with your melee punch it makes the SSG swap even faster. It's by far the strongest combo. PB ssg is great if you don't want to risk meleeing your target by accident, but PB rocket generally does the most damage because the SSG has random spread, if you dont hit all the pellets you lose damage + rockets have a high % of splash damage which in a horde shooter gets you more DPS

[spice jungle]

oh hey lol I know you, youre from PCSX2, right?

name's familiar but I cant remember exactly from where

[visual steeple]

hey it's that lightningbreak guy

[tidal nymph]

I didnt think I'd get recognized by the emulator community 😂

Emulators are pretty great though

[spice jungle]

ah then nah, I know you from the speedrunning

[tidal nymph]

I just made casual doom eternal content. I wasn't a huge speed runner

[spice jungle]

anyway, yeah, youre right, SSG isnt really consistent to hit all the shots with

[tidal nymph]

SSG combos will do the most against a single target if you hit all the pellets

[spice jungle]

theres a person that is an admin on PCSX2 forums that has lightning in their name so I mixed it up lol

[spice jungle]

I dont like getting close to most super heavies and heavies

especially cyber mancs, gotta stagger them with grenades first

[tidal nymph]

Exactly yeah. Especially when modders make them all possessed

[spice jungle]

I havent even gotten to the modded levels yet lol, I wanna do all base game challenges first

Im missing mars core ML UN and world spear ML UN

[tidal nymph]

Fun master levels

[spice jungle]

I beat the base game and all DLCs on UN and all MLs except those two

[tidal nymph]

I actually love the emulator communities and emulators, so i've definitely been in there but I never like talked 😂

[spice jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRErbg-bAa0 lol I think this is what I know you from

Ive absolutely heard your name before tho somehow

[tidal nymph]

Oh probably daddy hugo roasting me happened a few times

[spice jungle]

I keep getting handed in the double marauder arena in mars core ML

then the next roadblock is the arena with the buff totem right after the ion cannon cutscene

everything else is manageable to me

[tidal nymph]

Yeah its annoying

[signal willow]

Hi

Does anyone know how to fly with the revenant for 50 seconds without touching the ground in the battle mode?

[spice jungle]

also Ive never tried punch swap SSG

I was expecting SSG PB to do more instead of just punching

I heard in one of the vids that PB RL is the highest DPS combo but thats prolly just an old video

[tidal nymph]

Ah so punch swaps specifically when you collide with the enemy are massively sped up

for some reason punching the enemy during punch swap makes it much faster

[spice jungle]

isnt this really risky?

[tidal nymph]

The best things usually are. High risk high reward. You have tools to faulter or freeze

[young mango]

the super shotgun just seems to have weird properties related to that factor in general, like sure this is one part of that, but the fact that this also translates into its ability to maintain FSE from a punch even after a shot, even if it’s only one, maybe it’s ability to activate FSE upon its reload animation might be some sort of correlation into its weird properties, idk, but a weapon having its own fucked up fast state wouldn’t be a shocker to me considering the ballista requires frame perfect inputs to achieve such a thing, and the fact that the sticky bombs have the ability to chain the stuff, perhaps this is some weird anomalous case where punch FSE is it’s only activator coupled with the fact that the lunge could be interrupting its animation, I assume it’s possible for weapons to be limited to more niche applicants due to the sloppy removal of most of them in 2.0, where a handful of stuff still worked, there’s a lot of mental gymnastics I’d need to do to actually pin together all these correlations, talking out my ass here but it’s the closest thing I have to a rough idea

[stone belfry]

I just bought them, im having fun

[rough slate]

Yeah it’s my first time playing doom eternal And I’ve been wondering if I should get it

[idle cove]

Pretty sure the best DPS in the game is accidentally blowing up a screecher and running the hell away from the fight for 20 seconds

[tidal nymph]

The game really feels like it has a lot of these weird properties you're absolutely not wrong

[serene stone]

Speaking of weird properties....FSE with Overdrive power up specifically can be achieved through melee lunges with the rocket launcher into rocket launcher punch swaps.

It's the only way I know how to FSE while the Overdrive power up is activated.

Not sure why that is a thing

[signal willow]

Hi

[young mango]

little thing that just occurred to me, punch FSE is the only form of FSE that doesn’t require a weapon, I think

maybe that plays a role maybe it doesn’t

and considering the super shotgun is also a weapon with a high bring up speed, possibly some correlation there

[stone belfry]

Id say play the main campaign first

[rough slate]

Yeah that’s fair

[stone belfry]

I have it on my PS4, so i played that, then i wanted to play the dlc’s but they’re like, 40 bucks for me on ps store so i bought the deluxe edition on steam for $24 cause it was on sale

[lucid ridge]

if you're new to DOOM Games as a whole, if you're one to challange yourself yet still want the first timers experience i highly recommend the Hurt Me Plenty Difficulty, then when you feel comfortable move on to Ultra Violence

[rough slate]

Yup I’ve been playing on hurt me plenty its a good challenge but it’s pretty fun

[lucid ridge]

that's good =D even as a veteran of the series i still play on Hurt me plenty on my first go, hell when Dark Ages comes out imma do my first play through on it then right after i'll play on Ultra Violence

[rough slate]

Yeah

I’ve experimented with doom 1 but then I got eternal and I’m loving it

[lucid ridge]

that's good! honestly my history with Doom is pretty vast, i played the original doom 2 on an older computer at an old friends house when i was probably too young to be playing such games lol

[steep narwhal]

I can't wait for doom the dark ages.

[lucid ridge]

i know right!? that trailer was amazing, but a lot of youtubers are saying it might be delayed to 2026 because of GTA 6 and i completely disagree, the gaming world needs competition for GTA 6, and if DOOM the Dark Ages is there it'll tell other game devs to step it up in a good way

[signal willow]

Anyone has the hotrod skin?

[lament bluff]

If they delay it, I’m rioting

[lament bluff]

Which one is that?

[signal willow]

One of twitch prime

But I don't know if it is still available to get

[lament bluff]

Idk sorry

[signal willow]

I don't have images, can you search some?

[visual steeple]

stop typing tam.

[young mango]

I remembered that samurs stagger period was supposedly infinite while dicking around on his boss fight, so i thought I would just play around by bunnyhopping around and such, but after a few minutes, he actually came out of stagger, and summoned two new spirits, but there were not enemies around for him possessed, except one, because I had yeethooked to the end of the map, the dread knight from the beginning was still loaded in, so he got possessed from across the entire map, not much to add to such a point but I thought it was funky

[young mango]

Don’t you oh Jimmy me! Lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips!

[visual steeple]

Speakth not like a jester.

[young mango]

Better call Saul is peak

[visual steeple]

No.

[azure oriole]

So true!!!

[mild lodge]

I just beat Eternal on Nightmare guys

Including both dlcs

[azure oriole]

Cool beans rock on playa

[lilac dirge]

Am I crazy or did I just witness a dread knight jump into a wall and then… die

[austere bronze]

No, that sounds accurate

[lilac dirge]

I saw it before but just assumed it was the after effect of my flame belch, it was hilarious to witness, he pounced right at me and then face planted in an A pose

[young mango]

pathing failure

[lilac dirge]

It only seems to occur within the Holt

The other part 1 levels worked fine

[austere bronze]

Can be because of the geometry in a specific place

But stuff like this occurs everywhere

[young mango]

preventative stuff, if an enemy gets jammed in a wall it’ll just die instead of persisting to avoid a potential softlock, granted the system is far more sensitive than it needs to be, sometimes an enemy will just step on a piece of geometry that it doesn’t agree with and it’ll die, idk

something strange to me, is at least with cacodemons, the players position can contribute to pathing failure

[young mango]

granted most instances of such a thing have been patched out, but it doesn’t mean the problem is nonexistent on current patch

[lilac dirge]

It’s cool they found a work around, it isn’t that noticeable, and even when it is it doesn’t really affect the encounter other than decreasing challenge by mistake when just getting slightest of geometry’s off but I’m sure there wasn’t a better work around they could done considering the deadlines

[frank drum]

Marauder is not you lololololool

[young mango]

I’ve been caught listening to my EDM dogshit

oh I didn’t realize that’s the band you saw me listening to, I thought you were referring to what I had seen as my last song played

[lilac dirge]

Alright tomorrow ill do Immora and eternal will be complete, well besides the extra stuff ill go back for

[uncut marlin]

guys i did it!!! i beat tag 1 on ultra nightmare!!!!

(:

[austere bronze]

Well done man

[stone belfry]

I beat 2 without dying or using a chansaw

[austere bronze]

Nice, and in case it wasn't clear, Ronin said that marauders are ass, not that you are ass

[stone belfry]

Ohhh

[humble lichen]

Shits a little difficult on console with higher difficulties. Aside from just getting good do yall have any pointers or just try and cheese my way through

Want that skull face skin from tag2

[lilac dirge]

Where are you at right now?

[humble lichen]

Right now I just started a nightmare playthrough to test the waters and save me the headache of having to restart every time I die. I was just curious if there’s any general info you guys might have

Not very far and I’m on the regular campaign for now

Honestly probably just a lot of practice is what I’m thinking. Maybe if I set my sensitivity higher too

This slayer gate on exultia is kicking my as

[fluid orbit]

Chainsaw one dread knight and it becomes a lot easier

[humble lichen]

Yeah I was able to get passed it shortly after I sent that lmao

[frank drum]

Did you customize your control button config? i prefer jump with the shoulder button

[humble lichen]

Not sure if I’m able to do that on Xbox

[frank drum]

well in pc you can customize your control buttons, i use a xbox series control in my pc. I dont see why you couldnt do the same in xbox

[humble lichen]

Console version only gives you preset controller options.

Can’t customize one thing without customizing the entire controller layout

[frank drum]

well yeah, you can then

[humble lichen]

I was thinking you meant just the jump button. I misread

[frank drum]

setting the jump to a shoulder button can be a factor because it allows you to aim and jump simultaneously, unlike the default setting where you jump with the A button.

[visual steeple]

No.

[lucid siren]

Who's top of the table at Doom Eternal multilayer at the moment? Like who's the legendary best player?

[glossy warren]

No idea

Is there even a competitive multiplayer scene anymore

Was there ever

[lament bluff]

No idea but I’m the best nightmare horde mode player for the season (currently)

[lucid siren]

I dunno, but I remember playing Kingpin and the top player was a guy called Jar Jar Binx, and I like to watch these people because I'm, uh, useless.

[lucid siren]

Do you have anhy videos?

[lament bluff]

No but if you check the screenshot channel, I posted my screenshot of the leaderboard

I don’t record video. I might start doing so when I get my laptop. (The one I am using currently is one I’m borrowing, so I’m trying not to fill it with recordings.)

[austere bronze]

No idea, but Sav is good at multiplayer

And he's also almost the only multiplayer player I know of

[austere bronze]

Horde mode isn't multiplayer though

[royal arch]

yey i got doom 64 marine

[cloud harness]

How long is it gonna be there

[royal arch]

for about 89 days

[solid dome]

Hello everyone, I want to play Battlemode on the Nintendo switch and bought Nintendo online for it, but after finding the server, a message pops up saying that "the server is unavailable", what should I do?

[royal arch]

december 4th you got plenty of time

[humble lichen]

Completed the first horde mission on nightmare first try

[junior token]

Is ps4 eternal ever going 6o get mod support?

[junior token]

It might be a WiFi situation

[woven peak]

I sure do love hell on earth

Such a fun level to replay a million times

Also love when glory kills will just not register sometimes

Un really is fun

[young mango]

elaborate what you meant by this, because there’s probably a handful of scenarios that can be drawn from this

[daring socket]

Anyone have tips for someone trying their hand at ultra-nightmare? I know what runes to use, what to use the praetor tokens on, etc., I just don't know how I should be playing to most effectively be able to kill things fast while also not dying

[young mango]

unfortunately that is such a broad question that it’s basically impossible to answer without giving equally broad answers, which will not provide much substance for you to go off of, perhaps you have specific weaknesses in your playstyle you could address to at least try to narrow things down?

[woven peak]

• be standing in front of arachnatron
• clearly flashing
• press glory kill button
• punches

[young mango]

classic doom eternal being doom eternal

[woven peak]

Really fun when it happens at the very end of hell on earth

So he kills you at full health with a melee

They really shoulda let you skip hell on earth its such a slog

[daring socket]

I've got the snappy aim quickswap spam ballista jump playstyle going for me. Run and gun, meathooking around. But clearly since I am asking for advice, it's not going the best

[daring socket]

All the evil that hell can conjure. All the wickedness that mankind can produce. We will send unto them... only you...

My least favorite mission has to be Taras Nabad if I'm being honest. Or the ones directly before Nekravol pt.1 and 2

[young mango]

well a sort of natural assumption to make is that proficiency with your Arsenal doesn’t equate to raw skill in fundamentals, so perhaps a restacking inadequacy. Although I could never say anything concrete without actually seeing it in action, a visual example would be nice, perhaps a 5ish minute clip in one of the later stages of the game could put it into perspective

[daring socket]

Yeah, what is it that causes that? Sometimes I'll glory kill and it just launches me with a blood punch instead

[woven peak]

Spaghetti code

[daring socket]

It's always when I need my blood punches too

[daring socket]

How about a 5min clip of the beginning of the Super Gore Nest mastery level on nightmare? Would that work?

[young mango]

sure

[daring socket]

Awesome. I've got some stuff to take care of atm but if you're still around in an hour or two I'll get you a link to a clip of some gameplay

[young mango]

yeah for sure

[daring socket]

I appreciate your willingness to help by the way. I never used to play story games or linear games with a definitive end point, but within the past two years I've found Doom Eternal and Lies of P, and I've adored both. And both communities have been great and full of great people in general

Also, what's the best way of sharing clips? Just unlisted YT videos?

[young mango]

yes that would probably be optimal considering discords low file size limit, and the fact that stuttering seems to be a huge issue on it, at least for me

[daring socket]

Alright sweet. I'll get back to you in a bit

[young mango]

alright

[prime oriole]

Guys does anyone have a pc save from about the point where you unlock the plasma rifle?

my save got corrupted

or a way tor ecover the corrupted save

dm me if yall do or have any tips thx

[young mango]

what? it’s like a level and a half into the game, I think it’s far easier to just replay that instead of trying to tweak save files

[zealous swan]

Just finished all the slayer gates for the first time

Feels awesome to actually understand the controls

[azure oriole]

When you actually do what the game tries to tell you

[zealous swan]

lol yeah

I was really bad at shooters for a long time

[storm eagle]

good job! 🙂

[daring socket]

Plasma rifle is the 3rd weapon unlocked and you can get back there in probably an hour or so. It'd definitely be more worthwhile to replay it

On new saves my first real checkpoint is getting my dashes. Then I'll close out and take a break for a while

@young mango my clip is uploading. I guess I had settings set to 1080p 60fps so it's gonna be a bit

I get like 500mbps down but 190 up D:

[young mango]

alright, that’s good, I’ll check it out when it’s finished uploading

[daring socket]

@young mango https://youtu.be/FGpBBAT5pbE let me know if the link works

also ignore the first like 10 seconds idk what my swaps were doing but I did not execute them well

[rain orchid]

Guys

I finished this game

[daring socket]

how many attempts did the Final Sin mission take?

[daring socket]

I think I got lucky when I did mine for the first time on nightmare, but my most recent nightmare run was actually a legitimate nightmare. I died SO many times

I'm just coming back from a year+ hiatus from the game. All I've been playing is Elden Ring, osu!, and Lies of P

[fast saffron]

Hey I'm trying to get all the achievements on Steam and looking for help to do the battlemode stuff

If anyone can spare some time would be much appreciated

[daring socket]

slayer or demon side?

i've got time

I can't give you every match though you're gonna have to work for some of it

[fast saffron]

I need both just starting out

[daring socket]

oooh gotcha

is it okay if i try for some of them? I do like playing slayer side

and i do pretty well

[fast saffron]

yeah no probs. can you do the archiments in a private matach?

[daring socket]

lets find out

178254014 here's my friend code on steam

launchgin

[eternal halo]

when i melee the buff totem but it blood punches instead:

[austere bronze]

I think I have a few tips

• Underutilization of arsenal. You were using the flame belch way too little and I don't think I saw you even once using the frag grenades
• Weapon mods. The chaingun shield is incredibly helpful since it provides you with god mode, and why didn't you have any mods on your ballista? The destroyer blade is incredibly good. I'd also recommend using lock-on burst.
• Weird chainsawing. I saw you chainsawing when you were almost full on ammo or when you had only used 2 or 3 ammo types.
• Lack of awareness. You focused on killing 1 specific demon so much you forgot about everything else, leading to demons coming from all sides and dealing great damage.
• Suboptimal positioning. You cornered yourself a few times.
• Little movement. You didn't move around in the arenas nearly enough, often you were standing still in a single place for long periods of time.

How to fix these things:

• Go into battle thinking extra hard about using flame belch and frag grenades.
• Try out the mods I mentioned.
• Use all your ammo types and chainsaw when you're on 40-60% on ammo. This doesn't matter too much, but it helps.
• Notice when you get tunnel vision. You always want to know what's around you, and if 1 demon takes up too much attention or takes too long to kill, move on.
• Think about where you're going. Can demons surround me here? Can I get away easily?
• Just run around the arena more. Use the meathook to swing yourself from place to place. Dash and double jump too.
  Eventually this will all come naturally.

[storm eagle]

holy yap

jk hello fren

[austere bronze]

It just got longer since i realized i forgot 1 thing

And hi, idk why im awake, its not even 6 am

[storm eagle]

I'm just giving ya shit. You're such a helpful guy. And yeah I'm surprised you're awake too, how much sleep have you gotten?

[austere bronze]

Still almost 8 hours, but maybe ill fall asleep again, thats always a possibility

[storm eagle]

Stay up for awhile

[austere bronze]

I think i will

[daring socket]

Currently playing battlemode but I agree with everything you said and will read it more thoroughly in a bir

[old raven]

//video

[daring socket]

@austere bronze How can I consistently pull off the meathook speed boost to launch myself across tbe map? I can't do it consistently bc idk the timing

[austere bronze]

It's quite simple, hold down A or D and no other movement key while meathooking. And to unhook just quickly look away, punch or switch weapon

[daring socket]

that's with the right click slowmo correct?

[austere bronze]

It works the same with chrono strike, yes

[daring socket]

what are the recommended "optimal" runes to run

[austere bronze]

Air control is the best rune easily
Then many people use savagery, but that's only because glory kills take a lot of time to do
Finally you can pretty much choose from equipment fiend, dazed and confused and blood fueled

[daring socket]

okie thank you

i will focus more on abilities because i do agree i lack in that department

i just really like shooting things\

and overlook abilities

[austere bronze]

That's common
I'd say the 2 most important things for you to focus on is your equipment and general awareness

[daring socket]

is the plasma rifle useful at all?

or do I want to use the ammo for the ballista

[austere bronze]

The only use it has is destroying soldier's shields

So it's pretty much useless yeah

[daring socket]

yeah a rocket at a ceiling or wall does that just as well

if not better

[jolly root]

i perfer to just blood punch them

its funnier

[daring socket]

I only use my blood punches more liberally like that if I'm full on health or shield hahaha

[jolly root]

i also hate archviles

[daring socket]

pb ballista spam

It works

[jolly root]

i mainly dump my ammo into archviles first

[daring socket]

Yeah me too

I just quickswap between precision bolt and ballista shot and they die pretty quick

[jolly root]

oh ok

[daring socket]

Or are at least staggered and I can meathook and fatal them

[jolly root]

i also dont like maraders

[daring socket]

Yeah those guys are definitely my least favorite

[jolly root]

and i just feel bad fors the one shot enemys

for*

[daring socket]

Dodge their projectile, wait until their eyes turn green, precision bolt, ballista, precision bolt, ballista

Do that twice and you stagger them

[austere bronze]

Same here

[daring socket]

You can two phase it

[jolly root]

i dont have quick enough reflexes, yet i made it past the crucible quest

i am a slow fighter

[daring socket]

It's less about reflexes and more about convenient keybinding for me to be honest. Q is precision bolt and 3 is ballista

[jolly root]

i only changed the movement bindings

for me its mainly "get out and dont get hit"

[daring socket]

I would give you my keymapping but it's kinda weird and I'm not sure I'd recommend it

Or maybe it's good and I just think it's weird

It's good to have weapon bindings. It definitely helps with efficiency at least if you know the timings at which you can fire them consistently while quickswapping

In my experience at least. I've only played for a little over a year probably so I can't really give any solid advice, I can just share my experiences.

[jolly root]

i got eternal about six months ago

and its the only doom game i have

[young mango]

I was a bit preoccupied and im not going to lie this is more extensive than what I would’ve provided, so my input on this is obsolete

[daring socket]

its definitely the best doom to be the only doom you've ever played

[jolly root]

i mainly want the ancient gods packs

i only have the base game

[daring socket]

I have the DLCs but I only play the base game

idk why

I really like super gore nest

[jolly root]

idk what level i like

i really liked super gore nest but i feel like there are to many moving parts

and i liked the one where you get the super shotgun but it seemed to easy for me

so probably the gladiator fight

[daring socket]

Super Gore Nest definitely has a lot going on

[jolly root]

i havent fought the icon of sin yet

[daring socket]

His fight is really fun

You might struggle a bit at first because I definitely did but it's a very good fight

[austere bronze]

Not gonna lie, I don't like the icon of sin bossfight that much

[jolly root]

i died a lot on the gladiator

[daring socket]

I take more issue in the minion spam all over the map than I do with the icon though

[jolly root]

i mainly use the small guys for resources

[austere bronze]

Change your weapoon binds too

[jolly root]

ok

[daring socket]

I have Q bound to precision bolt, E bound to rocket launcher, 3 is ballista, 5 is meathook

See it sounds weird

It works great for me though

[jolly root]

i have E bound to punch/blood punch

[daring socket]

I have M4 bound to blood punch

[austere bronze]

These are my binds
walk: wasd
jump: space
dash: LSHIFT
shoot: left click
weapon mod: right click
melee: F
chainsaw: X
grenade: LCTRL
flame belch: R
Crucible/hammer: V
weapon wheel: Y
switch weapon mod: CAPS
switch grenade: G
CSG: scroll down
heavy cannon: E
rocket launcher: Q
ballista: scroll up
SSG: T
chaingun: TAB
plasma rifle: 2
BFG: 5

[lilac dirge]

and with that I have finished the dlc, it was pretty good

[jolly root]

i press caps to much, i would be always changing my mods

and its just like a little mistake i make

[daring socket]

M1 you seem to use more of the lower keyboard for your binds and I seem to use more of the upper keyboard

that's interesting

I also have 2 extra mouse buttons but that's different

[austere bronze]

I use stuff around WASD

[jolly root]

i like it

its fast

[austere bronze]

But I don't particularly like using numbers for binds

[daring socket]

how come?

[austere bronze]

It feels awkward for me

[jolly root]

i feel its slow

[austere bronze]

Same reason I don't use mouse buttons, it just feels awkward

[daring socket]

I play osu! so my fingers haven't been oriented properly for a while I think that's my issue

[jolly root]

osu?

[daring socket]

Old nintendo minigame inspired rhythm game produced by an Australian developer called peppy

[jolly root]

oh

[daring socket]

I have 850 hours sunk into it its a problem

[austere bronze]

That's even more hours than i have in eternal lol

[jolly root]

i somehow only have 15 hours in doom

[daring socket]

yeah and the issue is that the game really only counts time that you spend actively playing the game so I've genuinely played 850 hours of jpop and jrock I would never listen to otherwise

Well, the jrock is good

[austere bronze]

You haven't completed the game yet, it's to be expected

[jolly root]

and yet ive fought the gladiator

[austere bronze]

I don't understand how clicking circles is that entertaining lol

[daring socket]

i don't either

[austere bronze]

Yea? What's your point?

[daring socket]

I picked it up as a little side game to play after a breakup because I was bored and now I'm here

[jolly root]

I'm in nekravol right now

[austere bronze]

I took up Eternal just because I was bored and found it on sale, and after half a playthrough I quit. But then 7 months later while downloading Elden Ring I wondered what to do, so I played Eternal again and was instantly hooked

It doesn't feel like I've been playing it for a year now

[lilac dirge]

there are many stories of people buying games, and only really getting a click later on when they try it again, I picked up Eternal from finding a video which showed just how quick you can deal damage to everything and just zoom around the arena, even though i know it will take a while for me to get to that level, seeing what was capable of mastering eternal was what truly hooked me, only further proven when i got to cultist base, was strugging only for the game to tell me i had everything i needed which made me beat that same arena on my first attempt, I loved my time playing it

Eternal feels like a game that actively wants you to be better and thats why i love it

[daring socket]

I used to play Overwatch, they killed the game, then I was stuck in game crisis mode where I wanted to play something but nothing was good. And then I played osu! and something felt different

Then years later my friends tell me to buy Doom 2016 on sale and I played it all in one sitting and I needed more Doom

[fringe torrent]

I originally played Eternal on Game Pass in 2021 before finishing 2016. I didn't like it as I sucked with a controller. Bought it on PC a year later, had a blast, then bought it on console another year later, and it's my current way of playing

[daring socket]

Oh and then I got a computer that could handle Elden Ring so I played that a bit and then Lies of P came out

[rain orchid]

I completed it with Xbox the controls are easy for me

[austere bronze]

The Eternal journey is quite interesting and fun

I remember thinking that ZeroMaster was the peak of Eternal skill, then I thought it was MuricanEagle and now I know there's a few people (Murican included) who are all just incredibly good

[rain orchid]

Tbh it took me like 1 weeks to complete this game

[lilac dirge]

ZeroMaster just seems like peak skill of any doom game from what ive seen

[austere bronze]

Idk about the classics, but he isn't anywhere near the top in Eternal

But he didn't want to be either

[lilac dirge]

Still impressive hes good at all of them despite how different they all are, just seeing some gameplay of people flying around the map, man i hope to be like that one day

[fringe torrent]

He doesn't play DOOM 3 and 64 I believe

Oh wait it says any not every, oops

[austere bronze]

I mean... ZeroMaster is quite grounded

[lilac dirge]

he is a lot of the time yeah. i guess i was referring to A ton of eternal videos as a whole, ill see if i can find any right now as ref

[lilac dirge]

I get 3 but im kinda stunned he doesnt play 64

[fringe torrent]

I respect him the most in the Classic scene. Eternal is too satured for me to even bother checking it out

[young mango]

the bad part is the top of the skill ladder in eternal is mostly people you’ve never even heard of

[lilac dirge]

My favourite video was watching Jobst explain how he did the end of knee deep in the end and found a way to barely kill all the enemies in that final room before he dies, that was super cool

[fringe torrent]

It's a heavily different game in terms of gameplay, and I think the engine is updated to the point of making some previous skips impossible, and it also came out on PC late enough for him to probably bother

Maybe not heavily different, but it is different

[fringe torrent]

I love that video, the Chasm one rocks too

[lilac dirge]

I see

[lilac dirge]

Ill check that out right now

[austere bronze]

How's it going with finding a reference video? Lol

[lilac dirge]

Oh right, my bad, let me just pause

can i send links here?

[fringe torrent]

You can for YT videos

[lilac dirge]

gotcha

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIf0X9MAtI0

There it is, when you dash out of an enemys range, go lower and then meathook back to them to avoid their attack while getting in close so your shot deals more damage

[young mango]

oyff

[lilac dirge]

it looks so damm cool

[young mango]

https://tenor.com/view/green-mile-im-tired-boss-michael-clarke-duncan-gif-2375696290766999196

[lilac dirge]

It was this video in particular which sold me

[azure oriole]

It’s super popular so yeah, it honestly makes me look garbage

[austere bronze]

I wouldn't say that video is anything special, and tbf, it's 4 years old so the game was still new at the time
Here is a really good player
https://youtu.be/suJ9fL7J2Cc?si=3UFhd8Ks99bs324C

[lilac dirge]

Ill check it out

I-

Is the melee keeping him higher in the air? wtf

[austere bronze]

No, the melee is just used to punch swap

Staying in the air that long comes from mostly good timing with dashes and jumps, but ballista shots and glory kills in the air helps you stay there

The meathook truly is goated

It was this guy and Tammie who made me want to learn air time

[lilac dirge]

Tammie can do this- thats insane

And i thought the mechanic for it in Ancient gods part 2 was cool

Just seeing the own impact of your ballista keep yourself in the air as you reign down hell, it feels like a fever dream to witness

[austere bronze]

Tammie can stay in the air, yeah
https://youtu.be/I0Pnt1OtZfE?si=TMI16TBOeDuVaheu

[storm eagle]

glazer

[austere bronze]

And I'm pretty happy where I am with air time myself now too

[austere bronze]

Absolutely🥱

[lilac dirge]

Im instantly a fan

[austere bronze]

It's important to time the ballista shot to be right after a jump, then it'll help you gain more height

If you just do it while falling it won't make a difference

[lilac dirge]

What would be the best levels for testing it out? I’d assume stuff like Final Sin, SGN and maybe Urdak since they have more spacious areas

[austere bronze]

To practice, I gave myself infinite ammo, spawned in a tyrant, gave it infinite health and notarget

This you can do pretty much anywhere without a roof/a high roof

If you want to get good at staying in the air for extended periods of time, I'd recommend you first learning triple meathooking

Meathook, jump to break lose, time 1 dash and your double jump correctly, meathook again, jump to break lose, time 1 dash and your double jump correctly again, meathook again, double jump, touch the ground

Then you can stay in the air for even more meathooks without touching the ground by shooting a well timed ballista shot down right after you jump

[lilac dirge]

Ill put this in google notes, does the ballista send me higher with either jump or would it be more beneficial to double jump still, for that extra bit of airtime

[austere bronze]

You definitely still want to double jump, and you can do the ballista shot after the jump to break lose from your meathook or after your double jump

However, with only 1 ballista shot you will eventually fall to the ground

Unless you have an enemy that's elevated

[lilac dirge]

the Meathook can do all this shit with just your basic movements tools, and i never knew

I know you can get infinite ammo from a cheat unlockable but how do you give it infinite health, is that also one? if so i dont think i have gotten it yet

[austere bronze]

You can do all with console commands

[lilac dirge]

oh, that was kinda obvious, apologies

[austere bronze]

Just go on the mod launcher beta test thingy and you'll have access to them

[lilac dirge]

Gotcha, ill check it out now, i have enough time, thanks for telling me about this cool stuff

[austere bronze]

Ye ofc, feel free to ask anytime you're wondering over something

[lament bluff]

shhhhh

But leaderboard…

[austere bronze]

it's cool to be nr1 and it is an achievement, but that leaderboard doesn't correlate to skill in the game

[lament bluff]

I know. I’m just proud of it.

It was the culmination of a lot of work to get my highest score ever.

[austere bronze]

yea, it's still cool

[lament bluff]

Also because it was the only leaderboard that I was aware of in game

(And because I’m absolute dog water at Battlemode)

[austere bronze]

tbh, not a lot of people even bother playing battlemode

i have only ever played the tutorial for it

[lament bluff]

It was entertaining for a little bit, but I also played it way before I built any real skill as a slayer. I did better as a demon (that’s not to say I did good, just better)

[solid dome]

I have a stable Internet connection

[fathom zinc]

Hello Guys

[austere bronze]

hi

[austere bronze]

im not interested in multiplayer in general tbh

and then battlemode was just ehhh

[fathom zinc]

I play battlemode with my friend, i very enjoying

[austere bronze]

fair, but it's just not it for me

[fathom zinc]

I make a video about "doom slayer's hax" can you help me? I already have informations on internet but I'm not sure they real or not

[storm eagle]

wot?

[fathom zinc]

Doom Slayer's Hax

I am Doom Scaler

I have doom scale my own, doom 1a irrelevant speed

[ember fox]

Hi i have a question about a ingame achievement i don't understand how to do it we can see the unmaykr and it's written "???" if someone can help me c:

[fathom zinc]

you can't unlocked unmaykr?

if you wanna unlock unmaykr, you need to complete all slayer gates, and take keys

[ember fox]

i already unlock unmaykr

can i send u the picture in pm to explain u better ?

[fathom zinc]

okay send my dc

[twilit parrot]

I have never felt like I've wasted so much time in a game. DOOM Eternal has a bug that doesn't let you finish the game
