bruh

[violet zealot]

Get Vega’d

[rustic monolith]

i tried editing the previous message with the ai overview thing

to make it look better

too long of a message :(

[violet zealot]

Wait Vega considers edits as spamming????

[rustic monolith]

only if your edited message is too long i suppose

[waxen hatch]

We have a law in the Netherlands since begin this year, but every school has freedom in how its implemented

It’s my old Iphone from 2018 that still works, but not enough to be my full-time phone, so I’ve put 18,6 gigs of spotify on it for offline listening. It has most of the benefits you named (except for the distraction, since I didn’t delete whatsapp), so when it finally dies, I will consider getting a mp3 player as replacement

Have you consistently picked up every extra life? If so, you can look up how many you could have for how far you are and you work out how many you’ve lost

[rustic monolith]

no lol

[austere bronze]

If you're always on extra lives, I'd say it's too easy

[waxen hatch]

That’s why I’m now trying UN

[austere bronze]

And then repeat playthroughs, ultra nightmare, mods etc

[waxen hatch]

And only UN

Makes the game challenging

I have other games if I don’t want a challenge that day

[austere bronze]

UN doesn't make the game more challenging, just more tedious

It's why I really dislike UN

Boring concept

[waxen hatch]

I see how it can become boring to others

I see the concept of no (big) mistake allowed as an extra challenge. It is tedious, but since I’m a perfectionist, I can handle it, I don’t even consider a level completed if I don’t have every collectable (which sucks on UN)

I’ve learned to enjoy the tediousness

[austere bronze]

The only added challenge with UN is nerves, but that's an issue from the player's side

If you're good enough, there's no difference between UN and NM

But good luck with your runs

[waxen hatch]

I’m still learning the game, so I’ve relied on extra lives on all my other playthroughs. Thanks for the good luck, I’m already getting further and further

[misty gulch]

Fun fact: the intern still calls the slayer "doomguy" in almost every translation of the game

[thin oar]

does anyone need to do battlemode achievements on steam

[rapid basalt]

Anyone wanna help with trophies on ps5? Weapons expert and bloodbath.

[lunar mortar]

why is this game crashing my display driver when i launch it

oh it was tryint to default to some insanely high res

[violet zealot]

Shoulda just told it to stop skipping leg day

[lunar mortar]

i have a 4080s idk what's up this game is being a turd sandwich rn

uninstalled reshade but i'm getting some vulkan layer warning about reshade causing issues

was getting video memory errors on launch

[lunar mortar]

half a day later i got this running with mods and reshade on the pc mod preview

holy shit man that was an absolute pain in the ass

[azure oriole]

Can someone please help me with Doom eternal multiplayer trophies please

[loud geyser]

finaly got doom eternal on pc

took like a week

[loud geyser]

anyone have tips on kill heavy demons

[austere bronze]

the easiest way to dispose of them is regular quick switching

[loud geyser]

i just go full spam mode by freezing, quick scoping, burning , and sticky bobms

[austere bronze]

a good combo if you're just learning to quick switch is ssg+ballista
you'll want to move on from it relatively quick though

[loud geyser]

i dont have sgg and ballista

[austere bronze]

ye, flame belch is really important and good

[austere bronze]

oh, are you in cultist base?

[loud geyser]

ye but freez bobm and flame belch is op

am in the part where you learn about the walls that fall after sometime after climbing

and wanna go dm?

[austere bronze]

fine by me

[loud geyser]

k

[graceful matrix]

Help with MP trophies?? I just want the plat

[jolly kernel]

I kinda want to replay both TAGs

I actually like them even more than the base game

[austere bronze]

900 hours, 1.5 playthroughs here

[loud geyser]

anyone have a good mod for smth

[sleek plover]

i learned quickswitching and its been a game changer

but my movement and positioning is lacking a bit

[loud geyser]

i learned punch swaping

[sleek plover]

i cant punch swap

its impossible for me idk why

[desert sable]

whats a punch swap

[loud geyser]

nutshell shoot punch shoot punch

wiht snooper

[desert sable]

the one where you nullify a weapon's reload by punching?

[sleek plover]

yep

[loud geyser]

yep

[desert sable]

oh

[austere bronze]

wait with learning it

better to get good fundamentals down first

[sleek plover]

yeah i tried it once and it was hard

but i BARELY practiced it

[austere bronze]

yes

[loud geyser]

just press m1 and e

[desert sable]

i can do it pretty easily but never actually use it during gameplay

[loud geyser]

anyone got mods for doom eternal

[sleek plover]

also idk how ppl use mouse buttons for key bindings

[austere bronze]

i do. why?

[loud geyser]

i wanna try smth new

[desert sable]

like, the official launcher mods or

[loud geyser]

the one where its a doom eternal launcher

where its the pc review

[desert sable]

theres a pretty hard gm_construct map, you should try it

(suggest playing the dlc's first though)

[austere bronze]

practice doing it while moving, that way it's more similar to normal gameplay

[loud geyser]

nah i want mods that are like begginer

[austere bronze]

I find it harder to punch swap while standing still because my muscle memory dictates that I must move lol

[sleek plover]

also i cant rlly relate to this but

how disappointing is it to die on UN right when ur about to kill the ios

[loud geyser]

i honestly make dreads disappear

just go ratatatata

[austere bronze]

you're in the early stages of the campaign, play through that first

[loud geyser]

k

am in like the turret part or smth

but i want like mods that are textures like demon changes or smth like that

or gun changes

[austere bronze]

ah, yeah that's fair

[loud geyser]

like i want smth off of cod or roblox mods

[desert sable]

there was a mod called doom: internal iirc

[loud geyser]

the hell does that mod do

[desert sable]

replaces the slayer's head with the intern

[loud geyser]

the hell is a intern

[desert sable]

the one from the level youre currently at

[loud geyser]

a turret?

[desert sable]

he'll be at the end

its a shitpost mod, but still, cant reccomend anything else

[loud geyser]

am in the level after super gore nest

[austere bronze]

if you want, I could help with that sometime

[sleek plover]

that would be cool fr

[loud geyser]

ama download the marauder slayer mod

[austere bronze]

can you record gameplay?

[loud geyser]

my movement is bull shit like i move like a turtle

[sleek plover]

i have gameplay from my first pt but idk if thats relevant

isnt nm gameplay better in this case?

[austere bronze]

you'd want recent gameplay, yes

me helping you with mistakes you've maybe already fixed would be redundant lol

[sleek plover]

yeah true

[loud geyser]

pov: i went to mars just like the simulations

[austere bronze]

I can you too with that sometime, if you want

[loud geyser]

k

i honestly jump walk dash

[jolly kernel]

Shrek Mancubus is funny

[young mango]

What are we even talking about

[desert sable]

im hearing him out

[sleek plover]

bro have u not seen big chungus mancubus

[young mango]

Words in a sentence but it doesn’t mean anything

[loud geyser]

shrek cyber manacubs

[desert sable]

a mod that replaces mancubi with big chungus + cyber mancubi with shrek

[loud geyser]

i feel chungus is the hottie

why are yuo guys so obsessed with shrek like i dont get the hype

[fringe torrent]

This is like an AI learning to be human

[desert sable]

which one of us is ai, exactly

[loud geyser]

itsprob me

[fringe torrent]

All of you

[loud geyser]

bruh

[desert sable]

...aye, fair enough

[loud geyser]

i mean true

like but like i dont get the hype about shrek

[austere bronze]

more than enough even

[loud geyser]

is this a doom eternal chat or a cyber mancubis shrek chat

[desert sable]

#ai-training

[loud geyser]

i dont get it

[sleek plover]

bro shrekubus is a 10/10 baddie

[sleek plover]

bro mancubus is my favorite enemy

[loud geyser]

[fringe torrent]

Do you think Romero thought this would happen

[loud geyser]

nah

[sleek plover]

im sorry princess fiona but

[loud geyser]

ama go cook demons

[sleek plover]

[austere bronze]

mancubi are actually really good enemies

they fit their purpose well

[sleek plover]

wym

[austere bronze]

without losing relevance later on

[loud geyser]

they should make cyber mancubis fiona

[fringe torrent]

Alright give mommy back the iPad

[loud geyser]

NO

I WANNA WACTH DOOM FIONA

[desert sable]

ok yeah this got boring fast

[loud geyser]

NO ONES TAKIN THIS IPAD FROM ME

[sleek plover]

lmao

[austere bronze]

they're a good enemy to introduce the player to weak points and more tanky enemies

[austere bronze]

...yeah

[sleek plover]

bro im getting those mods asap

[loud geyser]

you wanna try and take my ipad

[desert sable]

theyre introduced near a trap that instakills them iirc

[sleek plover]

[sleek plover]

i needed that trap fr

[austere bronze]

no, they punish you for acting recklessly

[sleek plover]

the trap made it kinda ez tho

[austere bronze]

[loud geyser]

smash or pass on marauder answer now

[loud geyser]

retro doom

time to go oof some demons in wakanda of hell

[sleek plover]

doom eternal on rblx

yessirr

[young mango]

they float towards you at like school zone speed limit type speed

[desert sable]

and then hit like a car going 90mph

[austere bronze]

They have a respectable ranged attack however

[austere bronze]

Maybe it isn't "respectable", but it is to be treated with respect, or the punishment will be swift

Holy shit why did I type like I'm in a lotr dialogue

[sleek plover]

i can actually play de rn

[random steppe]

hey

I lost my save file somehow. I reverted to the 1st level without a cutscene

Is there a tool to unlock levels and items? I don't want to import a 100% save

[languid spoke]

unless you use mods/cheats then no

[random steppe]

uh, yeah? That's what I mean

[languid spoke]

oh

idk the specific mod or cheat for it

[old remnant]

I just played doom eternal for the first time, does anybody know why in ancient gods we do not have the crisol ?

[violet zealot]

I'm just assuming you mean Crucible. You lose it at the end of the base game. It's also removed probably to make the DLC a tad more difficult.

[spark echo]

i beat a master level on nightmare but now i dont seem to have the options to replay it on classic mode and the other modes. is that a bug?

[spark venture]

For some reason I find UV pretty normal but nightmare is just so difficult

Like I've blown through the entire game on UV so many times but I just can't with nightmare

Also I'm doing a doom eternal replay but with the christmas kit it's so funny

[spark echo]

i recently beat my first nightmare run after playing the game a lot and its honestly pretty easy once you get the hang of things. i started going out my comfort zone and began experimenting with weapon mods i normally dont use, which helped a lot. just practice with the master levels and you will get better in no time :)

[spark venture]

Thx 😁

[hollow dagger]

So I played my first master level, and was constantly getting my ass kicked at the final section of sgn.

Like how was I supposed to face a bajillion archvilles and tyrants with no bfg or crucible ammo 😭

[storm eagle]

If you want an easy kill like bfg or crucible you can use ice bomb and lock-on burst rockets

[violet zealot]

I did it with an unmodded combat shotgun and a unmodded heavy cannon

I was in so much pain

[hollow dagger]

I think I've tried that, but it's way too slow. I use a combo of sg, ballista and rocket, because I think that does the most damage.

Normally I use my grenades consecutively, ice followed by flames and then the two grenades, to get the most health and armor, whenever they recharge.

Well I don't think I'm gonna attemp that level again. Exited the game out of frustration only to realise it resets the entire mission, fml

[hollow dagger]

What difficulty? I played on uv

[violet zealot]

It was on ITYTD iirc

When I first started playing

Did it on Classic Mode by accident

Hence the lack of weaponry

Though, do ARC ML if you wanna dip your toes into master levels again

Even on NM it’s quite easy

[austere bronze]

Listen to LM, ice grenade+ 2x LOB=archvile kill

[hollow dagger]

Alright, I played it after I completed the campaign on uv and cleared some missions on nightmare, albeit with cheats on

[storm eagle]

I was talking about easy not dps since you mentioned missing the crucible and bfg.

[austere bronze]

It's very fast

[storm eagle]

Good morning @austere bronze and @violet zealot too!

[austere bronze]

Mornin'!

[violet zealot]

Mornin

[hollow dagger]

Thanks, and for tyrants?

[storm eagle]

I want to add that exiting out of frustration is totally normal. If you're up for it, try again soon, because it will feel fantastic when you do beat your mission. Try some other combos out too, including those with precision bolt.

[austere bronze]

Just a random high DPS combo, but remember, ususlly you don't want to killa tyrant in one go, cycle through enemies

[storm eagle]

Tunnel vision bad

[hollow dagger]

Appreciate it, I might try a different level this time. That double marauder on the toxic goo was too brutal

[hollow dagger]

Why not?

Ah ok, Ttoo much health

Need to keep moving

[storm eagle]

That one is tough. I would say try some practice with meathooking off the enemies to stay in the air, out of the sludge, and so they don't trap you together in that area. It'll feel weird at first but when you do it more and more you'll get the hang of it. Hook and jump up, "yeet" yourself to the direction you're going, detach before the grapple hook is done so you don't get ground-locked again. It will help some with the air movement. Hope that makes sense. And yeah with the tyrants just do a combat loop until you learn the enemy priorities so you don't get trapped also. Just whittle down on their damage and don't focus on a straight kill on them immediately, may be what M1 means.

Good on you for starting the master levels, SGN is hard at first go imo. I almost gave up too and now it's easy, you just have to keep doing it. You can def do it.

[hollow dagger]

Thanks man, I'll give it another try

[storm eagle]

M1 is more available and explains things if you have more questions going through the ML's. I just randomly hopped in and saw this but I hope it helped a little bit! Like with the base campaign that you already did, just continually remind yourself to keep moving. Experiment, but find the weapon combos that you like above all, and don't feel bad if you rage quit a few more times then get back to it. 😆 ⭐

[hollow dagger]

Sure, thanks a lot. MLs are definitely a difficulty spike I was not expecting lol. Just wanted to get some hardcore practice in since I was thinking of starting horde mode

[storm eagle]

oh god, I definitely am not cut out for Horde Mode. Good for you dude, yeah ML's will certainly help to prep

[austere bronze]

Horde mode is generally easier than most of the MLs IMO

[storm eagle]

Horde Mode is so exhausting for me lol

[austere bronze]

That is facts

[storm eagle]

I have literally zero stamina and need naps

[austere bronze]

I have been napping 1-2 hours per day, consistently, for over a week now😭

[violet zealot]

For me most of my day has been napping and it pisses me off

[storm eagle]

I have a thing where if I nap more than an hour, I get a migraine the rest of the day. I guess it's a thing for some people, if they go into deeper sleep cycle then wake up, the disrupt can cause headaches.

So I will go to dentist, come home, watch Spongebob or something, and play video games.

[austere bronze]

I just feel really groggy when I wake up from REM sleep, which often causes me to just fall asleep again lmfao

So a 1 hour nap turns into 2 hours

On the topic of sleep, I was playing with uncapped FPS today, which was really fun.. until I realised school starts in a few hours and I need eep

Even just a raise in ~40 FPS caused a very significant difference

[loud geyser]

hello everyone

[gritty mica]

Yo

[loud geyser]

hello

[tawny geode]

whats good

[eternal kelp]

Is the Christmas event stuff new or is it from previous years?

[azure oriole]

Previous years. Doom eternal no longer gets new content, all of the events are reruns at this point.

[young mango]

Doom eternal hasn’t had a new event in like almost 3 years

[astral wind]

just got back to doom et and finally finished it
so good man

[scenic egret]

I finally got around buying the game on PC, via microsoft store, i might have to do it again on steam for the sake of archievements though

How do i get started with modding anyway? idk if i can even do it from this platform

[inner bronze]

@scenic egret I just use steam pc mod beta preview. Look in settings and see if ya can change to the beta.

[scenic egret]

I don't use the Steam version though, i got it in the Microsoft store, that's why i had doubts if it's eeven possible.

[untold condor]

Yo wassup

[idle palm]

Is there any like way to measure how strong the Red cells from the plasma rifle are?

[patent pond]

Do you guys have any suggestions of mods I should download on doom eternal?

[odd hornet]

Who here has unlocked the umaker

[hearty condor]

I have, what do you guys think of the weapon?

[azure oriole]

I think using it is really boring!

[austere bronze]

20% increase in damage, not a lot

[hollow dagger]

Finally completed SGN ML 🥳

[left pelican]

It’s crazy some people think that master chief could beat up doom slayer, one of them killed god the other is a super soldier

[austere bronze]

Hell yeah, well done!

Is this the first master level you did?

[hollow dagger]

Thanks man. Was ready this time, so I saved up like 4 uses of bfg for the final section, worked out pretty well!

[hollow dagger]

Yeah

[strange gale]

^ this is like saying that shooting an architect means you're strong enough to take down a skyscraper

great job leaving out all of the context too, classic doomguy agenda

[austere bronze]

Ah, neat, arc complex and cultist base (if you have it) are good if you need to wind down a bit

[hollow dagger]

Yeah, I heard there were the first levels, and noticeably easier

[austere bronze]

Honestly, SGN is the first actually hard master level, arc complex and cultist base are more comparable to something you'd find in a DLC

[hollow dagger]

Good to know, but I don't think I would be switching up the difficulty to nightmare just yet lol

[austere bronze]

That's fair, nightmare is a pretty big jump

Although, SGN ML is probably an even bigger jump from campaign content

[hollow dagger]

Oh yeah, definitely, 5 tyrants and 5 archvilles at the same time pretty much trumps any difficulty for any campaign mission

[faint prism]

Attempting MC ML

[polar osprey]

does the holt have enough important stuff in terms of lore in it that i have to go through it or can i just go to TAG 2 without missing much?

[faint prism]

Memories a bit fuzzy, but the Holt's where the Dark Lord's revealed to the player (tbh i kinda skipped to TAG2)

[polar osprey]

so i dont skip much, nice

[faint prism]

Pretty much

Dark Lord's a nightmare to fight tho

[keen compass]

welp, I just beat TAG 1 and 2 on UN

I never have to replay these dlcs ever again 🥹

[polar osprey]

thats a good idea

i beat the dlcs then i dont touch them again

because fuck that

[faint prism]

My condolences Laki, i can only imagine the pain of doing em on UN

[keen compass]

all that's left is super gore nest master level UN and I am done with my eternal check list

we are so back

[polar osprey]

yeah im sorry you had to go through that

[faint prism]

Currently doing the Mars Core ML

[austere bronze]

Nice!

[keen compass]

yeah no I am not doing super gore nest ML UN it's too long

[austere bronze]

Fair enough, at least its difficulty stays roughly the same throughout though

[keen compass]

I already tried it on UN a couple of times, it's always the fucking end that gets me

not even the final arena, the shitty fucking escape sequence

[austere bronze]

Oh, that sucks

But maybe practice just the enf sequence, and when you can do it consistently, come back to UN

[keen compass]

Or better yet just don't touch this level again because I absolutely hate it

And especially whoever at ID decided that you can't save your progress during master levels, it's the only reason I can't commit to finishing this garbage

[austere bronze]

Well, it isn't really longer than a level from TAG1, and you can't save progress on a per-level instance there either

[austere bronze]

Lol, that's fair

I haven't played the master levels in forever if I'm being truthful

And UN I never bother with

[keen compass]

Yeah, and I hated playing that as well

[austere bronze]

Lol

UN sucks

[keen compass]

But at least with tag 1, when you play it on everything else you can always continue where you left off, master levels in general just don't let you do so

It's why I hate playing them

[austere bronze]

Yeah, it's very annoying how id didn't figure out how to make it so you can save your progress in MLs

Modded MLs on top

[keen compass]

I am 100% convinced they did it intentionally just for the hell of it

[austere bronze]

I definitely don't think so, Hugo said they couldn't find a way to do it without fucking up your normal save

[keen compass]

Oh

[austere bronze]

And why intentionally make your game worse?

[fringe torrent]

Probably so people don't Alt + F4 on UN and ELM runs

[desert sable]

would be easier if there wasn't a voice in your head constantly telling you each projectile could be fatal

[austere bronze]

The unmaykr almost feels like it was made to be bad though lmfao

[austere bronze]

No projectile is fatal, assuming you're on decent HP

So I don't really struggle with that

[keen compass]

The unmaykr would've been goated if it shared ammo with plasma as opposes to bff

*bfg

Then again the bfg in this game is also pretty mid ngl

[austere bronze]

Even when I play on extra damage, a single projectile usually isn't fatal

[austere bronze]

It's too good while being boring to use

[keen compass]

Nah, it's underpowered

[austere bronze]

That would've difficult as hell to balance with the ballista though

[austere bronze]

Wdym underpowered??😭

[desert sable]

it's the get out of jail free card of doom, what are you on about

[austere bronze]

It deals thousands of DPS to most, if not all, enemies in the arena

[keen compass]

Super heavies can survive it, and in tag 1 the spirits just shrug it off

Doom 2016 BFG was the real goat

[keen compass]

Spirits as in spirit buffed enemies

[austere bronze]

Oh no... 2 entire demons survived with little HP... guess I won't be beating this arena anytime soon

[keen compass]

Very funny

Then again they probably reduced it so the crucible can have an actual purpose

[young mango]

BFG still gets the job done though, it’s tailored towards clearing an arena and softening some superheavies while it’s at it, if you wanted something like what you’re mentioning you could just do killai

[keen compass]

True enough but I am also not a fan of having to use cheats so what do I know

[fringe torrent]

Idk a way to clear out an entire arena in one shot seems like poor game design

[austere bronze]

Yeah, which is why I dislike the BFG

[austere bronze]

You kill the demons normally🙂

[keen compass]

Nah, having a way to say "fuck you I am not dealing with you right now" is a good thing

[austere bronze]

Crucible exists

[fringe torrent]

plays arena shooter
doesn't want combat

[keen compass]

Didn't say that but ok

[austere bronze]

Lock-on burst also exists, which accomplishes essentially the same as the crucible

[fringe torrent]

"Fuck you I am not dealing with you right now" is literally that; if you don't want to deal with the main point of the game then play something else

[austere bronze]

Albeit not on tyrants and barons, they're chunky bois

[keen compass]

:/

[austere bronze]

The crucible teaches bad habits, but the BFG can be good to include, but with a bit more thought to it and not as powerful

[keen compass]

Yknow the more I listen to this the more I realize this game has multiple "fuck him specifically" things for no reason lmao

[austere bronze]

Yeah lol

[fringe torrent]

I'm not wrong; if the BFG was to clear out an entire arena you'd be eradicating the combat, it's unbalanced, the current weapon can be argued to be unbalanced as-is, worsening it would not be a good idea

[austere bronze]

BFG should've taken some notes from the dblade

[keen compass]

I guess

[austere bronze]

I love how you @storm eagle call the dblade a mini BFG btw

[keen compass]

Also no offense but just because I said I like to have the ability to skip a small amount of specific combat arenas does not mean I do not want to deal with the main point of the game

I get what you are saying but I get really annoyed when people immediately put words in my mouth

[keen compass]

Destroyer blade?

[austere bronze]

Yes

[keen compass]

Ah

[fringe torrent]

I phrased it wrong, I admit, I meant that you are dumbing the game down too hard to the point of unbalance with your BFG concept, it'd kind of go against the game being all about fighting and strategy and replacing it with an even bigger "get out of jail free" card

[keen compass]

Fair enough I guess

[violet zealot]

Honestly the BFG in the newer games are too powerful

[austere bronze]

Yeah, being able to clear the more difficult arenas in 1 click entirely goes against the strategy

[violet zealot]

To a point where it’s not even satisfying

[austere bronze]

When it's challenging, you learn

[keen compass]

The doom 2016 one I will admit got a little ridiculous

[austere bronze]

BFG removes anything resembling a challenge, and the crucible teaches bad habits
I dislike them both.

[azure oriole]

That would be true if it still shared ammo with plasma

[keen compass]

No offense but I think you are stretching it a lot

[violet zealot]

That’d honestly make it even more powerful

[austere bronze]

Am I? The BFG objectively clears the things you struggle the most with (if you use it in a decent way)
And have you seen how many players totally rely on the crucible for archviles?

[keen compass]

Usually an average combat arena will spawn more demons than a bfg can clear out (at least that is what I noticed in the dlcs)

[keen compass]

I'm not arguing the crucible part, I just think the bfg isn't some massive game ender you say it is

[violet zealot]

Because you can easily get plasma ammo, or any type of non-super weapon ammo in the newer games

And in Eternal specifically, you get infinite ammo for that weapon that gives you that ammo

[azure oriole]

I do hope the next game eases up on the get out of jail free weapons tho. Make the player learn how to actually play

[austere bronze]

Most arenas consists of 1-3 waves, worst case scenario you'll be wiping out the hardest part of it, best case you'll be killing the entire arena
(This doesn't even factor in that most arenas spawn very few demons each wave, when there still are a few demons alive, meaning the BFG essentially trivializes it)

[violet zealot]

Exactly

[keen compass]

Then again I spent ages playing TAG 1 and the master level SGN and I am a more casual player who doesn't want to constantly suffer for the hell of it so maybe my opinion isn't valid

[austere bronze]

Yes, way too many crutches in DE

[violet zealot]

I’m fine with powerful weaponry

But I wish you’d actually have to learn how to use it properly at least

[keen compass]

Plus I actually had fun with the hammer so yeah maybe I do not have the right to have an opinion lmao

[austere bronze]

As long as it's balanced fine and doesn't make the game too lenient

[violet zealot]

Pretty much that

[austere bronze]

This is what the dblade should've been, powerful and takes a bit of learning
Now it takes a bit of learning and is too powerful, unfortunate

[austere bronze]

You being a casual player doesn't automatically invalidate your opinion at all

[keen compass]

True

[austere bronze]

More experience usually means a finer knowledge on the game, but I for example can very much be wrong

[keen compass]

Also ngl shout out to the unmaykr for being intended as a "kill this guy specifically" weapon, and then somehow failing to be good at even that

[austere bronze]

Lol.. yeah

[violet zealot]

If the unmaykr comes back, it better be as good as the unmaker

[austere bronze]

It feels like some guy at id just said "fuck this weapon in particular"
Like, it can't be unintentional how useless it is

And it's even locked behind doing all of the most challenging arenas in the main campaign😭

[keen compass]

Dude I really hoped the tag dlc would've had us upgrading it through some secret combat encounters at least but nah that dlc just can't do anything cool 😭

[austere bronze]

Spirits are semi-cool

Same with blood maykrs

[keen compass]

Spirits I honestly just dislike as a whole

[violet zealot]

I hate blood maykrs

[keen compass]

The concept is kinda cool but:
The arch vile exists
The buff totem exists

[violet zealot]

I would rather fight spirits than a single blood maykr on a controller

[keen compass]

We do not need a third even more insufferable version

[azure oriole]

I can't stand the invulnerability that blood maykrs have

[violet zealot]

They absolutely ruined the Archie in Eternal

He was much better in 2

[azure oriole]

"Wait till just the right time to shoot him in the head" okay cool great fun

[fringe torrent]

The Eternal mechanic for him isn't really all that new

[keen compass]

Honestly kinda agree, they overpacked him with shit

[fringe torrent]

The only new stuff is the shield and his ability to teleport, everything else was done before

[azure oriole]

I love WAITING!!!!

[keen compass]

Not really he could only revive, here he straight up spawns and buffs

[azure oriole]

I am absolutely convinced the gun is intentionally bad. When you pick up the bfg and when you pick up the unmakyr the game gives you a little tutorial on how to use them both. On the bfgs it demonstrates it's power by killing like 20 demons, like cacos and other heavies, in just one shot. In the unmakyrs tutorial it demonstrates the guns power by.... killing a soldier....... Literally a fodder demon.....

[fringe torrent]

And that was done before

[austere bronze]

You can fight other demons and quickly pop the guy's head though

[strange gale]

this is reasonable actually

[azure oriole]

There's not always a convenient window

[strange gale]

if it wasn't the easiest thing to use in the game i'd agree with you

[keen compass]

Someone at ID really hated doom 64

[austere bronze]

The archvile in Eternal is an unperpowered enemy, incapable of doing anything

[strange gale]

provided the projectile doesn't hit a wall or ceiling prematurely it's still an arena clear

[keen compass]

That's only because the ice bomb ends him but outside of that imo he is very annoying as fuck

[austere bronze]

Except buffing and spawning, but it's relatively negligible

[fringe torrent]

Oh boy wait til you see the DOOM 3 Archie

[austere bronze]

Falter him🙂

[keen compass]

True actually

[strange gale]

precision bolt breaks shield in one shot and another falters him so archvile buffing just isn't real

[austere bronze]

You can almost always turn away and shoot him, and if you couldn't one time, just do it the next

[keen compass]

But yeah doom 2 archie was just better, he had a simple design to his mechanics yet was utterly terrifying because of his positioning

[austere bronze]

The spirit makes enemies take less damage though, which is cool for all the heavies, but less cool for super heavies (especially thr tyrant)

Mwb being required to kill the spirit is also boring though

[fringe torrent]

Damn you, Ghostbusters

[austere bronze]

Yay, let's force the player to restrict their movement in a movement based game🥰

[keen compass]

Honestly a lot of the dlc enemies just suck for one simple reason

Restricting choices

[austere bronze]

Yup

DLC enemies is what many thought the normal enemies were like...

[keen compass]

I'd argue the marauder had a similar problem, but he technically has like 5 ways to get cooked and a grenade + lock on fucks him, so he is at least fun to kill

[austere bronze]

It's so fucking weird, I see people complaining that you're required to kill demons in specific ways in DE (which would suck), but then people come and defend that dumb idea which isn't even true lmfao

[keen compass]

The enemies in the dlc tho? Nah fuck you for wanting options, fight them in a specific way because we said so

[austere bronze]

Did people even play the game, or did they listen to the first youtuber they saw talking about it?

[strange gale]

limiting your options isn't inherently bad though

[azure oriole]

It's true, my dad works at epic games, he says the only way to kill zombie is with dblade 😔

[austere bronze]

True, but being forced to kill enemies in specific ways without player creativity does

[strange gale]

for example, lock on is kinda bad against arches since they tend to teleport in reaction

n i think that's cool

[austere bronze]

For sure

[keen compass]

Normally I'd agree, but when you lower them as much as in TAG it becomes an issue

[strange gale]

the dlcs do not approach this concept well

[austere bronze]

Sadly SLOB makes ignores that :/

[keen compass]

I think the worst offenders are the makers, the green prowler, and stone imps

[austere bronze]

The blood maykrs are some of the better DLC enemies

[keen compass]

Yeah but they are still getting a downvote from me because you can only fight them by waiting for them to make a move first

[austere bronze]

You can wait while dealing with other stuff though, that's what I always do

[strange gale]

nah you can use chaingun shield to force an opening

[keen compass]

This is why I prefer how marauder does it, you can wear him down with stickies and rockets instead of taking him head on

Sure, this isn't the OPTIMAL choice, but it's at least there

[austere bronze]

It's very far from optimal, it's so far from optimal I don't even consider it a choice

[austere bronze]

That would require me to give the chaingun a bind...

[keen compass]

I mean I was able to do it fairly easily when I fought him

[austere bronze]

It's not hard, sure, but it is tedious as hell

[keen compass]

Especially in that one Taras Nabad master level where on classic mode you HAVE to sticky bomb him to death

[strange gale]

yeah n if you wanna skip the green light, sky strike into 0 cycle is the best option

[austere bronze]

Yup, that's just what I've started doing

With a good enough setup you don't really need to waste any rockets even, which is neat

[keen compass]

oh yeah also about the whole get outta jail free stuff

[austere bronze]

Eh, falter him with base fire, full auto and then a blood punch

[keen compass]

hot take but I think the hammer was more balanced than the crucible for the most part, except that it charges a little too quickly

[austere bronze]

The hammer is the best super weapon

[storm eagle]

what when

[keen compass]

the hammer was lowkey the only reason I will ever consider replaying tag 2

[austere bronze]

Not on a per-usage basis, but it charges so fast it becomes the best suprt weapon

[austere bronze]

Pretty sure you've said that (or something similar to it) in VC a few times

[keen compass]

I kinda hate how you don't get a cheat code to use it for TAG 1 and base campaign to replace the crucible

[austere bronze]

Or maybe it was someone else and I'm tweaking

[strange gale]

cruci gives you 3 instant kills and maybe a few more if the level includes more charges, that's not that crazy

hammer is easy to charge and use, and that's not even mentioning the direct benefits

[storm eagle]

could be, I be saying stuff often

[austere bronze]

You do be yapping a lot

[strange gale]

• gigantic aoe falter, lasts long enough for a double dblade to kill/severely maim anything caught in it
• instant health + armor + ammo restack, like a maykr drone kill but for all of your resources
• all of the above properties are tied to the same weapon with practically zero opportunity cost

it's so consistently spammable that you can (situationally) get 3 slams off in under 5 seconds

[keen compass]

ok I take it back the hammer is stronger

then again, I still kinda prefer it over crucible mainly because it is actually fun to use and it's only actual issue is the charge, which can easily be fixed by making it require 4 glory kills, and removing the weakpoint charges

[austere bronze]

4 GKs and no weak points? Holy moly, that would take me an entire level to charge once...

[keen compass]

I mean... you can do it the way I do it: prey on the weak fodder

they take like 2 heavy cannon shots or a single shotgun blast to subdue

[strange gale]

hammer doesn't give you iframes or extra mobility so it doesn't literally do everything but it gets very close

[keen compass]

if you really want to charge it

[austere bronze]

8 GKs and/or weak points is pretty good, IMO
(Speculation, I haven't used the hammer in so long that I don't actually know)

[strange gale]

too many good properties packed into one

[keen compass]

nah, the benefits are fine, just needed more charge requirements

[austere bronze]

Honestly, glory killing fodder is an almost forgotten mechanic to me lmao

I almost never find it to be useful anymore

[keen compass]

bro forgot their entire reason for existing is that 😭

[austere bronze]

No, their reason for existing is to give me ammo and block me when bhopping

[keen compass]

I mean technically... chainsaws count as GK so I am still half right

[strange gale]

that's what i mean yeah, god buttons are fine if there's a risk or opportunity cost tied to them

[austere bronze]

Chainsawing shares the boring animation, but it isn't a glory kill

[keen compass]

"technically"

I am attempting to gaslight so please play along

[austere bronze]

I only soliddark

[strange gale]

warframe did the "enemies drop ammo" thing 7 years before eternal and to this day executes said mechanic so much better by simply not tying it to cutscenes

[keen compass]

warframe...

that is a name I haven't heard in a billion years

[keen compass]

true but I think a better example is technically doom 2016, because there you can still get ammo from regular kills

(this should've stayed in eternal and I will fight anyone on that)

[austere bronze]

I more and more feel as if GKs are almost redundant, they're almost never actually needed, assuming you utilize your flame belch well

Even when doing stuff I struggle on, I find myself on low HP rarely

I did an arena a few days ago which took me maybe ~40 min, but the lowest I got when I completed it was 87 armor

[strange gale]

bp also refills passively if your restacking is decent, adding to your point

[keen compass]

it could just be that you played this so many times that it all kinda just comes naturally

so

[austere bronze]

Yup, and it isn't even that useful in the first place

[austere bronze]

Flame belch usage? Yeah, that comes very naturally

[keen compass]

I meant like

you just getting good at the game in general

I thought that was what you are referring to

oh well lol

[austere bronze]

No, as I mentioned it took me around 40 min to complete

[strange gale]

cyber mancs effectively have 2000 hp instead of 6000 because bp exists, that's the only real use case

[keen compass]

I am dumb what is BP again

[austere bronze]

The finishing attempt took 1.5 minutes, so as you can imagine it was quite a few tries

[austere bronze]

Blood punch

[strange gale]

i guess it's good against doom hunters too but that's pretty niche

[keen compass]

oh right

[keen compass]

ngl, even tho I am a fan of the fact you can do this, doom hunters massively fell off when ice bomb got buffed to freeze them 😭

[austere bronze]

Yeah, although I've stopped doing that because of ai haste
(Only applies to a very small percentage of the playerbase and it wasn't even intended to be played with tbf)

[strange gale]

oh the boss variant yeah

[keen compass]

they are still a big threat but they get sonned in the boss fight

[strange gale]

good movement always outclasses bp tbf

the pinky shield isn't real because of vertical movement

jump over ssg is so much more convenient

[austere bronze]

Lol yeah, even the first boss variant dies quickly to ice grenade, blood punch and pb+ssg

[keen compass]

I just ice bomb + blood punch and then get them in a glory kill state with a single lock on

always works

[austere bronze]

I haven't been around long enough to play when they didn't freeze to ice grenade though

[keen compass]

unless RNG randomly decides that they need one extra hit 😭

[austere bronze]

Yeah that works well for the normal doom hunter variants

[austere bronze]

Damaging doom hunters is so weird lmao, it's not very consistent

[keen compass]

I've played this game in 2020 (near the end of december as a christmas gift) and they were actually lowkey kinda hard back then

also speaking of enemies that fell off

the barons

[austere bronze]

I've played this game since november 2023... almost the same xD

[keen compass]

yknow how in 2016 they were actually kinda tough... kinda...

[strange gale]

i'd be fine with it if it was actually rng, the real reason is entirely fixable jank

[keen compass]

yeah so in eternal the chaingun shield just cooks them

(I love the chaingun shield even if it is really not that balanced that thing is too fun)

[austere bronze]

This is why I love playing with ai haste, extra damage to the slayer and less damage to enemies
Many otherwise trivial and boring enemies become a threat

[strange gale]

the dh shield absorbs some of the damage if you get a weird bp connect

[austere bronze]

I am almost kinda scared of barons and doom hunters now lol

[keen compass]

me personally I just like shitting on enemies I find annoying so I am neutral on this lmao

[austere bronze]

Whenever a doom hunter pops up I go "awh shit"

[keen compass]

that being said, the enemy that really got it the worst is the revenants

not even because their attacks suck but more because they just never use them lmao

[austere bronze]

They're as tolerant to damage as a balloon about to blow up

And their attacks are negligible

[keen compass]

ngl a lot of the issues in this game are entirely fixable jank

[strange gale]

2016 also had significantly worse movement

[keen compass]

yeah true that is the only reason they were ever a threat lmao

[austere bronze]

That's mainly why they were threatening in there

[strange gale]

stickies can damage doom hunters through their shield for the same underlying reason, the splash area is big enough to reach the sled and hit it

[keen compass]

that kinda sums up a lot of issues in eternal to me

[strange gale]

so on a weird connect you lose the direct bp damage and only get the splash (40% of what you're supposed to)

which is equivalent to a single ssg shot in this instance

[keen compass]

like the glory kills and blood punch being bound to the same key has caused a lot of moments where it refused to glory kill and just blood punched instead

this has been the most annoying bug in the game

[austere bronze]

Not a bug, but the meathook having a 400 ms delay before it does anything is extremely annoying to me

[strange gale]

yeah the targeting feels so bad

[keen compass]

honestly despite my issues with 2016, at least that had a lot more consistent targeting for the most part

from my experience at least

[strange gale]

700 ms lootdrop absorb delay 😢

[keen compass]

oh yeah that sucked

[austere bronze]

Omg the amount of times this caused me to die in the opening sequence of taras nabad is astonishing

[strange gale]

it's also a thing in this game

only reason it's not really an issue is that you get iframes after glory kills and chainsaws

in 2016 you didn't and so you could die out of a gk before even getting a chance to take your health drops

[austere bronze]

There is still a 400ms window for that to happen though, if you're sitcking around for the loot drops

[strange gale]

i think this is kinda cool, made you care about your positioning and gk timing way more

[strange gale]

brink of death also didn't exist in 2016

[austere bronze]

GKs should be somewhat commital and have a risk tied to it

[strange gale]

the one shot prevention in this game makes glory kills a get out of jail free card

[keen compass]

what do you mean by one shot prevention

the invincibility frames?

those already existed in 2016

[austere bronze]

... once again why extra enemy speed is good, it accomplishes this :)

[strange gale]

talking about post-gk iframes and damage attenuation, neither of which existed in 2016

[keen compass]

oh right

[austere bronze]

Between certain lower health values, an otherwise fatal attack will leave you at 5 HP

[strange gale]

in eternal you get 300 ms of fully actionable iframes after any gk or chainsaw animation

[austere bronze]

Or it'll just be reduced in damage

[strange gale]

yeah any single hit that would kill you is instead hard capped so you're left at 5 hp

then the mechanic becomes unavailable until you restack to 21 hp or above

[austere bronze]

Is there no other cooldown on it than that?

[strange gale]

there's a bunch of other details too but this is what's actually relevant

[strange gale]

oh yeah that too

restacking to 21 is what starts the cooldown timer rather

[austere bronze]

Do you know how long the cooldown is?

[strange gale]

haven't tested it and idk if it's in the game files

might be a hard coded value

[austere bronze]

Ah, alright

[keen compass]

ok so

off topic, but can we all agree that the rune that gives you a speed boost on glory kill is actual peak

not even because it's useful but because it's fun to run around the map

[austere bronze]

I spend more time in the air than on the ground, so it becomes negligible for me unfortunately

[strange gale]

yeah the cooldown just isn't listed in playerprops

idk how i'd test it either

the exact number isn't super relevant, what really matters is knowing the mechanic exists

[austere bronze]

It'd be extremely tedious lol

[austere bronze]

Even if I am on the ground, I won't be running, rather, it'd consist of dashing and ballista boosting for the most part

The real peak rune is dazed and confused❤️

[keen compass]

TRUE

also air control for obvious reasons

[austere bronze]

One rune to rule them all type shit

Equipment fiend is neat, because the better you play the more it rewards you, and vice versa

I use it, but I don't entirely like reducing the flame belch CD

[spice bay]

Anyone on switch wanna play?

[loud geyser]

yo guys on am too young to die i beat the gladiator with 1 death kinda hard boss tbh

[spice bay]

Guys, if any mf plays Doom Eternal (or 2016, who knows?) ON SWITCH, can you @ me or dm me please? I really want someone to play with.

[azure oriole]

DOOM Eternal gaming

[upbeat furnace]

They really should have added custom player levels to enternal

[marble ginkgo]

hi, somebody for doom eternal ps4/ps5 online? i need 3 strikes plssss i want the inmoran skin

[azure oriole]

gl

[steady ember]

They have them

Mods

[visual crest]

GES BRK

yes.

[keen compass]

I did it, I actually beat super gore nest master level on UN

@austere bronze I actually did it LFG

[austere bronze]

Heck yea!!

[keen compass]

and I finished classic mode, so now I never ever have to touch super gore nest ever again.

[signal scarab]

Game journalist when there's 1 marauder

Doom eternal players when they can't super shotgun batista (I do this too)

[gray rivet]

Am I lame if I only ssg ballista the marauder 😭

For Mancubus Im gonna pb weak point > ballista weak point > rocket > pb > rocket

For Pain Elemental ima gonna ice bomb > ballista > pb > ballista > meathook ssg

For gargoyle I'm gonna pb head shot

[austere bronze]

Good luck hitting the ice bomb lol

And wouldn't it be easier to do something like 2 arbalest shots?

[gray rivet]

I guess I'm making things harder for nothing 😭

You right

@austere bronze How would you deal with a cyber manc if I may ask

[austere bronze]

Either I blood punch and ssg for a glory kill, or I do some random combo

Sometimes I'll blood punch and do some random combo and skip the glory kill tbh

[gray rivet]

Nice

[strange gale]

the game is half a decade old and we're still doing this 🌝

[fringe torrent]

DOOM fans when they have to make a new joke

[gray rivet]

I liek doom

[austere bronze]

I really dislike doom, that's why I am in the doom server

[young mango]

I dislike doom morer

[random steppe]

I finished it

So eternal covers the story of doomguy right up until... he arrives on Argent d' Nur?

What about before that, clearly he's already proficient in combat

I never played other doom games

What game covers this

[keen compass]

yeah uh, friendly advice: just play everything that came befor EXCEPT doom 3 and VFR if you need to know doomguy's story

[loud geyser]

guys how do i get glory punch khan makyr after 1 blood punch

[fringe torrent]

DOOM 3 does have slight mentions of Doomguy

I'd play through the game or read up about those mentions if you're really in a hurry

[vale pebble]

the lore is kinda all over the place so just play them all in order ig lol

the best doom games imo are 3 and 2016

[vale pebble]

@keen compass why the reaction ;-;

[keen compass]

idk I just react to things randomly

[tawny geode]

my top 3 are eternal, 2016 and 1993

[azure oriole]

mine are doom 3, doom 64 and plutonia

[patent wedge]

Another decade of hating doom eternal, ya hate to see it

[tired solstice]

Huh. Pretty big server here. Should have joined sooner

[crimson yarrow]

So... what's been going on with the official mod support thingy? Last time I checked it was still in beta

[real rapids]

hi, could somebody help me with online trophies on ps5 tommorrow?

[tired solstice]

Im ps4 so i dunno if i can help

[real rapids]

i dont think so😔

[loud peak]

the davoth fight is making me consider lobotomy via soup spoon

[loud peak]

I finally beat him

like 2 hours later

[gray rivet]

Congrats

My goal is Ultra Nightmare, and all Master level challenges

[desert sable]

same, had to replay eternal on nightmare just to get used to it again

[calm flower]

marauder reskin boss fight

[strange gale]

not sure the games are different enough for that to have an impact

[storm eagle]

Hello people

[leaden cobalt]

Hi

[drifting gust]

Played some horde mode again

Gonna run through the two games again at some point in time for dark ages

[sterile reef]

Hello everyone. Not sure what your time is but I'm messaging from the UK, 8:39 morning here now🤠

[polar osprey]

i can confirm they do, took me a few levels to get used to eternal's movement again

[rancid nova]

I'd like to talk with the guy who decided on Mancubus spawns.

[strange gale]

eternal has a couple of new options i guess, but it shares a majority of its mechanics and enemies with 2016

it might be that you weren't very comfortable with de's movement to begin with

[loud geyser]

easy beat the game 22.8 hours

[burnt fjord]

Bonjour à tous ! je suis nouveau. Pouvez-vous m'aider. Je n'arrive pas à mettre Doom Eternal en français. Avez-vous une astuce. Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

[gray rivet]

I'm at work. I want to play Deternal 😭

Tbh i'm only running Hoarde for the MCs. (Doom 2 Slayer MC's done, just working on the Biker Slayer MC)

[real rapids]

could somebody help me with online trophies rn? ps5

[spring panther]

for maximum points try not to use the bfg and prioritize bounty demons to get that 4x onslaught multiplier

not using bfg alone is 50k points

[quaint scarab]

This game is really good

[tame topaz]

Proof?

[modest mist]

only reason i played horde mode was to get the nightmare skin

wait no the scarlet praetor
then i went for the nightmare one

i did not have fun considering i am trash at handling more than 2 super heavy demons at once

[red oar]

Can someone explain to me how to do the PB + Sticky combo on controller?

[azure oriole]

Holding down aim/mod (L2/LT) , pressing shoot (R2/RT) and then pressing weapon wheel (L1/LB), before pressing shoot again should work. Just make sure the last 2 weapons you've held are the combat shotgun and heavy cannon, and make sure to hold the mod button the whole time and you shouldn't run into any problems.

[red oar]

Thank you, literally the only thing in the game I don’t know how to do yet and I haven’t found a guide on YT sadly

[austere bronze]

You sure about that first part? There is a lot you can learn

[random steppe]

What is the energy beam coming out of doom hunter base? What does it produce?

[azure oriole]

pilk

[random steppe]

Also, replaying the mission, I have a challenge to use the automap but it's already used

wtf doom?

[strange gale]

oh so you can do sausage skip with 100% consistency?

[winged zinc]

How can i earn more combat score in horde mode, is it just killing everything?

[faint prism]

Zombies and Spirits offer 0 points

Everything else has varrying scores

Not using the BFG at all is an easy 50K

And the bonus level and completing the level challenges offer points too

[violet zealot]

Sir, it was 93% of your total playtime

[austere bronze]

Yeah, gotta get those numbers up next year

[violet zealot]

No, you don’t

[austere bronze]

My second most played game was 2% of my total playtime, third was less than 1%

[misty gulch]

💀

[austere bronze]

This left 7% of my total playtime for the other 20 games I played this year lol

[winged zinc]

Thanks bro

[faint prism]

Np amigo

Good luck have fun

[winged zinc]

Thanks, you too

[faint prism]

Tbh i'm only doing Horde for the Master Collections

[strange rock]

was expecting 365 days streak tbh

[austere bronze]

Lol

[red oar]

I’m not new to DOOM eternal specifically but I know I could be better. The rest is just putting it to play

[austere bronze]

I mean that there's a lot of tech and stuff you can learn

[red oar]

Can you go over some? Just for reference I know every other weapon combo with PB, punch swap, meathook stuff, marauder one cycles

[sterile reef]

Hi everyone

[austere bronze]

I can't go over how to perform everything right now, but here are a few things useful in normal combat:
SLOB, fast destroyer blade, double shot tech, multi meathooking, wack swapping, silent mod swapping (SMS), BATS with SMS and mod swap cancel

[red oar]

Ah I forgot to mention fast DB, and Ik of mod swaps; is there a video you can send?

You can dm me I don’t mind if it’s a lot, I love Doom

[young mango]

This is my steam replay as well

a lot of these “sessions” might just be me having trial and error moments with launching older patches idk

[austere bronze]

An average of over 10 sessions per day feels a bit inflated,yeah, lol

Far from all of my sessions was me actually playing

[austere bronze]

I don't know of any videos going through that stuff, but there is a pinned document in this channel by Tammie, and it contains a few key things, along with links to other documents

If you need me to explain something for you, I'll be happy to, but I may not be able to currently

[iron dew]

how many hours do you have?!

[iron dew]

same with you

[iron dew]

GOD DAYM 2265 HOURS

[austere bronze]

I have 920 hours on the game, I'd say about 800 of them are from this year

[iron dew]

💀 well daym

[real rapids]

could somebody just help me with just a couple off kills on battlemode because i litterally cannot find a game

[red oar]

Are you on console?

[real rapids]

yes

ps5 @red oar

[iron dew]

what are the best keybinds on pc for doom eternal? or is it just the defult

(Im on the 2nd mission 💀 )

oe 3rd idk

[violet zealot]

It’s completely based on your own preference

[lusty lark]

I'm a hardcore player but i still use the default keybinds, the only changes i did were changing the chaingun from 7 to x and BFG to z because their keys are far on the keyboard for my small hands

[iron dew]

i used the slow motion wheel thing

soooo...

cuz they changed the keybinds between doom 2016 and doom eternal

[violet zealot]

I personally use a modified version of someone else’s binds that pretty much puts all the weapons as close to the movement keys as possible

So heavy cannon on E, SSG on T, Ballista on Q, etc.

[lusty lark]

It seems like sylar's keybinds to me haha

[violet zealot]

It may be. I just personally took it off another guy.

[lusty lark]

His keybinds are good my only problem with it is the punch keybind

He put it on mouse 4

[violet zealot]

I have minds on F

I put my grenade on middle mouse and weapon mod/grenade swap on my extra mouse buttons

Although I may remove the weapon mod button seeing it’s pretty much never used

[lusty lark]

You could use it in advanced combat techniques like BAT

[violet zealot]

I don’t care about Eternal enough for advanced tech lol

[lusty lark]

Sad

[violet zealot]

I’ve always much preferred the original games

[lusty lark]

I like both because the original doom games were my favorite when i was a kid

[violet zealot]

Like Eternal is my second favorite under Doom 1

[lusty lark]

But i can't deny that doom eternal combat is the best thing i have experienced

Easily my favorite game of all time

[violet zealot]

But man, Eternal completely overwhelms me due to the fact it’s like being on crack all the time

Eternal and custom Doom 2 maps burn me out quickly due to that

[lusty lark]

Yes the game is slightly not for everyone just like souls games

[violet zealot]

Well, Doom 2 also burns me out due to the length of the game

But that’s besides the point

[lusty lark]

In my opinion i LOVE adrenaline pumping games and doom eternal is made for me

I like the speed and the rush too

[violet zealot]

My ADHD ass gets completely overwhelmed by the speed

[lusty lark]

I took it a step further by installing mods that makes me quick swap faster, move faster and i also use commands to make the enemies faster

[violet zealot]

And games like Ultrakill are out of the question for me

[violet zealot]

I use mods mainly to replace the god awful baron and replace it with the 2016 one

[lusty lark]

All of that just to feel the adrenaline

[violet zealot]

Also some QoL like shoving the HUD into the middle of the screen

[lusty lark]

I agree with you, i did the same for tyrant and replaced it with the cyberdemon from 2016

[violet zealot]

Eh, I prefer the Tyrant

[lusty lark]

He is fine but not as badass as cyberdemon, idk it's just a preference but the tyrant looks like a pig more than a demon

[austere bronze]

you'll want to place your binds close to WASD or on your mouse, nothing further away than 4

[violet zealot]

I prefer the more classic looking designs

[desert sable]

for me, the 2016 cyberdemon looks like an obese insect

[lusty lark]

Oh looks who's here dude how are you!

[austere bronze]

Also, holy shit my gameplay felt clean as hell after not playing DE for over 1 week lol

[violet zealot]

Hence why I prefer most of the Eternal designs and the 2016 Baron

[fringe torrent]

They don't bleed green, unplayable

[austere bronze]

Hi! I'm relatively good, how about you?

[violet zealot]

To be fair they don’t in Doom 1/2 until they die

Unless you use a source port that has colored blood (Woof my beloved)

[lusty lark]

Couldn't be better

[austere bronze]

Nice!

[violet zealot]

Wait, I just remembered I yoinked my binds from M1

at least the general layout

[red oar]

Couldn’t agree more

[violet zealot]

I can personally disagree but I think I made that clear already lol

[young mango]

Ballista on 6😭

[violet zealot]

Be like me and have all your weapons on numpad /j

[austere bronze]

Put it on TAB like me for sub 15 tag2

Trust

[young mango]

I’m probably never touching TAG2 with the goal of beating my PB again

[austere bronze]

Lol, I thought they looked similar

[real rapids]

we need one more person for doing trophie on battlemod could anyone help? just for a couple of minites

ps5

[raven bronze]

just discovered the game love it it has this quake vibe to it love it 😉

[storm eagle]

I don't think it feels like Quake in any way

[faint prism]

Unmakyr go brrt

[supple mica]

hello guys I am crying and shitting on the floor over world spear master level rn

I got to the part where they spawn 3 archviles at the same time

[tardy pier]

Is it possible to get cultists base master level

[azure oriole]

Yeah just buy the rip and tear pack

[tardy pier]

Ough shoot I didn’t see that

Big thanks

[onyx veldt]

Mars Core ML is buggin

[lusty lark]

memorize their spawning spots and kill them asap when they spawn the rest will be easy

[clear owl]

yo chat

i installed a viewmodel fov mod but theres no tutorial on how to use it

is it g_fov and hands_fovscale in console

or is that already built-in

[lusty lark]

g_fov is built-in but idk about the other one tbh

[clear owl]

what about p_forcefov

[lusty lark]

donno too
i use these for my fov
hands_fovscale 1
hands_offsetz -0.15
hands_offsetx 0.4
sync_JeffsFOVHottness 0
sync_autoFOV 0

[clear owl]

thanks

ill check them out

[lusty lark]

you are welcome

[austere bronze]

Essentially the same as g_fov but goes up to 180

So it's useless, since g_fov already goes up to 150, and you really don't need a fov higher than that

[violet zealot]

Quake players will have to disagree

[austere bronze]

Do they really go above 150?😭

[violet zealot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[clear owl]

i was gonna play with a ridiculous config actually

[austere bronze]

Holy shit, your guns are like in the stratosphere lmao

[clear owl]

with me barely seeing my gun

it didnt work

[lusty lark]

bro you have to see when i use the hammer it literally goes in my head HAHA

[austere bronze]

I started using this yesterday:
Hands_fovscale 0.8
Hands_offsetz -0.02
G_fov 124
G_weaponkick 0

[austere bronze]

Lmfao

Arms not being connected to your body when chainsawing🥰

[fringe torrent]

125 or 120 from what I've seen

[austere bronze]

Okay

That's in the reasonable range

you should hop on minecraft and we'll 1v1

[fringe torrent]

Hop on Marvel Snap

[meager plover]

yo can anyone play doom eternal battlemode ,im kinda new to the game and i wanna see how it is to play multiplayer

[uneven jewel]

what do you play on?

console?

[meager plover]

pc

[desert sable]

pretty sure theres a tutorial for the mode and each demon

also pretty sure playing demons is more beginner friendly

[agile spear]

Tharas nabath or something alike the mission where you retrieve your crucible i am getting honked in my ass thanks to a bunch of basic zombies that Swarm me with a marauder i am going insane😭

[azure oriole]

Basic zombies?

[azure oriole]

On pc?
I doubt it

[strange gale]

i don't believe foot ballista has ever been thoroughly explained

so whenever you damage an enemy, that damage number is stored and checked against a damage threshold value

if the threshold is crossed, a damage falter is triggered

the stored value is kept "alive" by continuing to deal damage—if you stop for long enough, the stored value is dropped and your progress towards a damage falter is reset

now marauders have a very short falter cooldown

usually the cooldown for superheavy damage falters is around 8-10 seconds, in the case of marauders it's 2

so whenever you do a basic combo on a marauder, like ssg pb ssg, your stored damage value remains in memory long enough for the 2 second falter cooldown to end

and then when you hit it post-combo with ballista splash damage, it's added to the stored value which is then checked against its falter threshold

the stored value in this example should be around 780 while the required damage is 200

meaning you trigger another falter

if foot ballista doesn't work, it's probably because you waited too long and your stored value got dropped

this interaction hasn't been patched out at any point because the two alternatives would be to either entirely break faltering across the board, or to make marauders immune to ballista splash damage

plus the interaction isn't worth patching in the first place so idk why anyone ever said that it was

[azure oriole]

I remember people were talking about that a lot at some point when the game was still being updated

[young mango]

I don’t know is this is true but I have heard people claim that it had been patched out at one point but got reverted

[azure oriole]

Yeah pretty quickly too

Yeah, I remember when they “patched” it out

I think it was the same update when they also change the hitbox from pb

[young mango]

6.0?

[azure oriole]

And then they reverted it back

[azure oriole]

Weird…
I remember that change being before tag 2

But nvm

[random steppe]

replaying a mission, I have a challenge to use the automap but it's already used
wtf doom?

[slim thunder]

Log in to the slayer club with ur bethesda acc

[hushed niche]

does the mod launcher respect steam launch commands?

[signal scarab]

Why was TAG2 so controversial

I dont want to watch an hour long vid

[azure oriole]

Because it was rushed and not very challenging compared to tag 1

[signal scarab]

Eh I can see that. But that endgame esc scene

Was peak

[azure oriole]

That to me holds no value

Or very little at least

[signal scarab]

To me it does

[azure oriole]

I consider avengers endgame to be a very bad movie so that scene doesn't make me feel anything

[young mango]

Good cutscene but the expectations it sets up are very quickly squashed

[young mango]

Final antagonist of the entire series is a 1 minute long greenlight slop fest in a rushed DLC😴

[signal scarab]

You are crazy for saying that

[young mango]

I love TAG2 but cmon it does objectively suck

[signal scarab]

I liked it so I guess that's all that matters to me

I was just curious tbh

[young mango]

Yeah again I liked it too but it had its flaws that I can’t just ignore for the sake of personal bias

[azure oriole]

I think I still might not have gotten over my own disappointment

I had a lot of hype for that dlc

They raised the stakes so much bro

It's the dark lord and for what 3 missions

[young mango]

I mean the good thing is they didn’t build it up at least, trailer was released day before

[azure oriole]

I was following the livestreams very closely every week, itching for new info so badly

Man I really did play this game religiously dawg

[tidal nymph]

Actually it was patched out (or very strongly reduced) for a very short time (I believe around taras nabad master level release), but a LOT of the players had complained directly to the devs and it was pretty much immediately repatched in

[severe crater]

Yo
I'm uh kind of new to doom but I played a little bit of 2016 before I think

Im at the doom hunter base rn

In eternal

[main hamlet]

cool

you'll love Eternal it's super fire

[faint prism]

Have fun!

[meager plover]

ok [sry that i awnserd a couple hours late]

[digital inlet]

im so sorry

[quaint peak]

i love almost every cacodemon kill having that satisfying eye pop sound

[agile spear]

oh same

[quaint peak]

also is there a way to kill arachnotrons faster after shooting out the turret

in early game i only have shotgun, cannon, and plasma rifle

[agile spear]

no you gotta blast them with everything

[quaint peak]

i got both

literally the first two mods i picked up

with how the game is with weaknesses and weak spots i would assume everything has a use or two

[fringe torrent]

Not really

Find me an use for full auto

[violet zealot]

Besides Stone Imps?

[fringe torrent]

That's not all the time

Extremely situational because you are forced into it by one enemy type

[agile spear]

stone imps? is that an different one?

[violet zealot]

TAG2

[agile spear]

?

[violet zealot]

They're only in that DLC

[quaint peak]

tear ass through fodder hordes probably
