doom-eternal

[vapid trout]

welp, sorry for my ignorance about weapon techs

[austere bronze]

no worries

[azure forum]

No need to be sorry son, nobody is trying to fight here just discuss doom stuff.

[real holly]

Doesn't matter Uncle Ben, the automatic shotgun weapon mod resigns superior

[azure forum]

I personally love PB stickies but as a controller player it can be a pain to do it

The only thing we can all agree is that full auto sucks 😁

[vapid trout]

no because it kills stone imps good

[lyric lily]

quick swapping on controller sucks

[azure forum]

Not really, add some back paddles and you have all 4 weapons you need

[gray rivet]

I find it pretty fun, but then again I've never done it on kb

[lyric lily]

yeah i have that for 2 paddles

[austere bronze]

it has good utility, i use it

[lyric lily]

got a funny clip yesterday of quad swapping in panic

[austere bronze]

don't choose to stick to a single weapon mod, switch between them!

[vapid trout]

auto shotgun is the best mod in the game because its the only weapon that kills stone imps

[azure forum]

I prefer Dblade against Stone imps

[lyric lily]

cool to post a yt vid here right?

[gray rivet]

It's only good because of shell return mastery

[austere bronze]

and in early game before you unlock hot swapper

[real holly]

Auto shotgun is okay if you use it to conserve shotgun ammo ig, but I never run out bc im constantly using chainsaw

[austere bronze]

the dps is absolutely unmatched at that point

[real holly]

Yeah it's good against arachnotrons

[austere bronze]

less chainsawing is good

[gray rivet]

Word true, well said

[real holly]

Especially early game

[azure forum]

But early game your ammo capacity is low, it has low DPS and you don't have the mastery

PB stickies early game is better imo or PB punch swaps

[lyric lily]

https://youtu.be/3j2AzZRT2QI?feature=shared

fastest i can do on controller with 2 paddles

[austere bronze]

low dps?
... it has almost 2000 dps, that's essentially as much as pb+ssg in close range

[lyric lily]

for super shotty and balista

[austere bronze]

maybe some upgrade increases it at some point, but the dps remains high

[real holly]

The triple fuel chainsaw I just don't use that much later into the game, the heavy Demons gold like origami regardless so it just saving up the chainsaw when I don't think I need to

The only time I will consider using triple fuel chainsaw late game is with pain elementals and even then not that much

Or Cyber Mancubuses if im tired

[austere bronze]

yeah the only real utility of it is to stay in the air longer or get out of a certain spot

[real holly]

If there was a six fuel chainsaw thing that could kill super heavy Demons or legitimately hinder them I would maybe consider saving chainsaw fuel

[vapid trout]

goated gameplay

[gray rivet]

Good swapping imo

[lyric lily]

thanks llmao

[azure forum]

That's not bad, when I was using 2 paddles I had PB SSG in them just because PB combos with many weapons

[real holly]

Ranked based on fun I have on said level

Nightmare difficulty ofc

[lyric lily]

i dont really play much anymore

but for the wheel i have the time for it to come up really low

[austere bronze]

yeah you certainly seem to have a good grip on the basic swaps!
you could definitely try to move into doing fse stuff

[vapid trout]

i have a feeling u like nekravol

[austere bronze]

(pb+rocket/sticky bomb)

you can activate fse in manyy other ways than pb, but it's the most commonly utilized

[azure forum]

Playing on PS?

[gray rivet]

I love your S rank levels

[vapid trout]

google stadia

[lyric lily]

yeah need to upgrade to ps5

soon so i can also get dak ages

[azure forum]

Nice, I love the PS controllers.

[azure forum]

I used to play on stadia, it wasn't that bad 😊 🤣

[vapid trout]

no shot

what made u get it

[real holly]

It's so hellish (my favorite)

[lyric lily]

yeah never known anyone to use stadia

[azure forum]

I started playing doom eternal on stadia. I think they had a good deal for the controller and the game, so I went for it.

[vapid trout]

when did stadia even come out, was it the same time of ps5 shortage

november 2019

damn

nevermind

[azure forum]

Being able to play DE in a tablet was clutch, as long as you had a solid connectionn

[azure oriole]

Guys does the heat blast glitch still work?

[austere bronze]

yeetblast/multi blasting?
that works

[azure oriole]

How do you do it?

[austere bronze]

fire at least 8 plasma rifle shot to stabilize the weapon, press bind for another weapon, immediately fire the heat blast

you'll get 4x damage before hot swapper, 2x damage after

[azure oriole]

On controller can you just press the weapon switch button?

[austere bronze]

yes

[vapid trout]

holy shit how deep do these weapon techs go 😭

its like u are telling me an exploit step on getting the raygun out of the mystery box guaranteed every time

[austere bronze]

very

[azure oriole]

Thanks, I died in UN and am back at cultist base.

[austere bronze]

here's a marauder combo i did that involves a decent bit of tech - some significantly harder to spot
https://youtu.be/3TAMLYzdUgQ?si=8IBRqx6yYgjSptAc

[austere bronze]

you doing that no upgrades un run?

[azure oriole]

Yep, trying to get the last two milestones in one run lmao

[austere bronze]

ahh, that's quite impressive honestly

[azure oriole]

On controller.

My insanity has no limits, last run died on sgn.

[austere bronze]

i imagine the late game would also be significantly harder since no upgrades means your restacking is also impeded

[robust nacelle]

I gave up ultra nightmare on controller a long time ago then again I'm playing quake deathmatch on controller currently so maybe my masochism is just in the wrong direction

[austere bronze]

and literally less than half of normal max health

[azure oriole]

Controller isn't that bad, I can pb sticky and all that.

[gray rivet]

What's your controller scheme if I May ask?

[azure oriole]

Cursed.

[gray rivet]

Oh yea you put ballista and ssg on the analog sticks

[azure oriole]

Worse

[gray rivet]

xd

[azure oriole]

#screenshots

What do you think?

[gray rivet]

Yea that's madness lmaoo

[robust nacelle]

that's not playing claw that's playing talons

[azure oriole]

I play crab.

[rigid storm]

What's this fse stuff you speak of?

[austere bronze]

fse stands for fast swap effect
it's something you can apply to the rocket launcher and combat shotgun to make them swap much faster

it's commonly applied with the pb, which is partly why it's so often used

[azure oriole]

Shot and swap at the same time, instead of shot and then swap.

I think.

[austere bronze]

swapping the rocket launcher/sticky bomb this fast is only possible because i applied fse
https://youtu.be/ANlVbkxkVA8?t=33

[rigid storm]

Jesus Christ

That's some insane skill

[polar osprey]

swapping for me is gonna be alot more nuts when i learn the rhythm of quickly using the weapon mod key than not using it in the next pb

[austere bronze]

nah that part probably looks more impressive than it is xD

and it's the reverse for most "tech"

[austere bronze]

what?

[polar osprey]

like using the weapon mod button, swapping to a weapon i dont want to use the weapon mod on, and doing so over and over

like how you swapped between rocket and pb

and also rocket and sticky bomb

[austere bronze]

ohh, silent mod swaps?

so you can swap weapon mods without the animation

oh wait no i read it wrong😭

yeah mod swap cancelling, that's neat!

[azure oriole]

Guess who got lock on burst!!!!

[polar osprey]

is that what its called when u do pb rocket pb rocket?

[austere bronze]

no, that's "normal" quick switching, but you apply fse to the rocket launcher via pb
mod swap cancels are used to cancel bring-down animations, it work like this: you cancel the wind-down of a weapon by pressing mod swap, and then you cancel the mod swap by swapping weapon

you can't do it on the ssg, because you can't swap any mods there

and it's slower and harder than applying fse to the rocket launcher/sticky bombs

[polar osprey]

oh

i felt its more advanced to be able to both quick switch and only periodically hit the right mouse button to trigger the weapon mod

[austere bronze]

this is a bit more advanced knowledge and not that important, but interesting nonetheless
mod swap cancelling (MSC-ing) puts you into a combo swap chaing (CSC). while in a combo swap chain, your alt fire (all your weapon mods) will be delayed, so if you MSC into the ssg, there's a delay before you can use the meathook. this makes it so regular pb+ballista is just as fast as adding an MSC after shooting the ballista.
howeverr, swapping to the heavy cannon during the CSC removes this delay, but since you mod swap after each ballista, you just reapply it

there are 2 other ways to get into a CSC, SMS (short for silent mod swap, same as MSC, but you mod swap after swapping weapon) and silent BATS where you press mod swap before and after swapping weapon

you know you're in such a chain if your hand disappears

[azure oriole]

I always forget why 99.99% of UN runs dies in cultest base lmao.

I almost had a heart attack

[austere bronze]

it's broken by remaining in a single weapon for too long, mantling, mod swapping (if you use silent BATS or SMS to mod swap, you activate a new CSC) and meathooking

so MSC is mainly used for going from the ballista into the ssg, or getting out of the lock-on burst

it's also used for wack swaps, which is what i use it for absolutely the most, but that's a wholeee other topic

[azure oriole]

Guys what happens first, level 100 or completing this challenge run?

I'm level 81rn lmao

[azure oriole]

Cultest base done.

[gray rivet]

Fuck yea

Did you do the slayer gate?

[azure oriole]

In a UN challenge run on console? Fuck no.

Most dangerous thing in this run is my own rockets lmao.

[gray rivet]

I need to stop that shit, I push myself to do the slayer gates and end up dying on my UN runs

Which I haven't tried in a couple months xd

[true heath]

When I start my un run I'm doing Slayer gates for the fun of it I don't give a fuck

(but I will be muting all instances of meathook and cultist base I fucking hate those now I've heard them too much)

[azure oriole]

This might be the run boys.

[gray rivet]

Doom Hunters dead?

[azure oriole]

Yep, they're really easy so I farmed the 50 ssg kills well fighting them.

[peak torrent]

the great Agaddon Hunters of the Telos Realm are dead?

[azure oriole]

It also means I have ssg ballista.

The worst part of UN, is if you need to leave mid level you need to full close the game

[gray rivet]

Yes sir

[azure oriole]

If you lose, booo

Don't die or silly dumb dumb.

[sage flare]

Why do the events last so long, I finished the current one in a week

[azure oriole]

because... Not everyone has a hour a week for doom.

how I felt writing that fr fr.

[calm agate]

Anyone who can help me in battlemode 2.0 multiplayer achievements

[azure oriole]

Platform?

[calm agate]

PC

[sage flare]

I have so much free time

[azure oriole]

I would say get a job, but I don't know how old you are lmao

[sage flare]

Still in high school, no jobs in my hometown

[azure oriole]

Guys I think I'm softlocked

Didn't even die, and losted the run to a IT JUST WORKS, IT JUST WORKS!!!

[sage flare]

Also is the horde mode weapon wheel rng?

[azure oriole]

I got soft locked, rip run.

[polar osprey]

i was doing the sgn kaisercampaign level and i crashed 💔

[azure oriole]

Guys I got softlocked in the second to last level on UN.

Fuck this game bro

[vernal kayak]

Issue of skill

[spring panther]

how did you even get softlocked

[spring panther]

yes 👽

[azure oriole]

So I had to leave to go get my take away, I came back reopened the game and there is just now a wall blocking me.

[polar osprey]

https://youtu.be/H6PejT9ldRc @austere bronze what can you gather from this gameplay other than "get used to the keybinds and get better movement across large areas"

[azure oriole]

Is there a way to reset myself to the start of the level?

[gray rivet]

What wall

Hopefully your food was good xd

[azure oriole]

I deleted the save and am going to start a new run tomorrow

[gray rivet]

Fuck

[azure oriole]

Doesn't matter now lmao.

[gray rivet]

rip

[azure oriole]

I asked doom eternal support if they can give me the achievements for finding a glitch lmao with a pic of the softlock.

Mainly so they can you know, maybe fix the glitch, or tell me a way to make sure it doesn't happen again lmao.

It's just a red wall that doesn't disappear, and there are no enemies.

[fringe torrent]

Why do you want achievements in return for it? Also it's likely you're not the first

[gray rivet]

xd

[azure oriole]

I don't, I said it as a joke, it's in brackets and has a jk.

[fringe torrent]

Right, because we had a way to know that

[azure oriole]

Yeah that's why I asked support, they may have someway out of it

[true heath]

Oh no I can't be silly dumb dumb

[stone spear]

I hate that. They need to fix that. Witch spot?

[twin gale]

you didnt have to do that bro you couldve just exited the game and started from the beginning of the level

unless you're trying to do single segment but even then you're already that far and a 2-segment run is also a good achievement because usually it takes more

[azure oriole]

That's what caused the soft lock, it happened after I quit out of the game to get food.

[twin gale]

oh

well you'll get back there in no time im sure

[azure oriole]

Also support got back to me, I got a free copy of skyrim.

Thanks Tod

[twin gale]

im buns at skyrim

[azure oriole]

How can you be bad at a sandbox?

[twin gale]

because of the combat

[azure oriole]

Pressing one button?

I love skyrim btw.

[twin gale]

yeah the enemies just get to me sometimes

especially dragons

[azure oriole]

I have a build for you lmao.

[twin gale]

i probably wont have the stuff since im still a little early into the game

and i know im missing the most important thing of all

the game

[azure oriole]

I sent you a video showing you how to get the stuff at level 1, and explains how it works.

We love spiffing brit.

[austere bronze]

will take a look sometime tomorrow, probably after school
haven't had any time since you sent the clip, and now i'm way too tired lol

[bold narwhal]

I was today years old when I realized when the seraphim said “I knew who you were the moment you set foot in our world”

I finally realized he wasn’t yapping, he’s seen davoth and knows what he looks like

[novel token]

you spend too much time just staring at demons, you are not restacking, you are pushing mancubus, cybermanc, cacos and pain elementals to close combat, hell you even start punching 2 pain elementals, you are using PB like a sniper rifle in CoD, you are not using ballista and other mid to long range quickswaps, you wasted 2 chainsaw pips using them back to back, you are moving only forward and backwards in the same motion in front of the same enemy like 5 times; in general you might need to practice on your movement and damage output, know how to deal damage and defeat demons efficiently and know when to restack

[twin gale]

blud channeled under the mayo for a minute

[burnt moss]

Then I recommend practicing him. Do you need a strategy?

[strange gale]

you are pushing mancubus, cybermanc, cacos and pain elementals to close combat
none of this is an issue. if you don't have bp then reconsider approaching cmancs and pains, but if your resource management is competent and you know how to do basic death combos, you can save tons of ballista ammo by doing this

[azure oriole]

get used to the keybinds and get better movement across large areas

nah but seriously why there are mh grappling points and a normal mancubus in that arena?

[strange gale]

he's playing kaisercampaign

[young mango]

Meat hook points pmo💔

Let’s start using invincible lost souls

Like movement mod does

[strange gale]

true...

[young mango]

You will live in the pod and hook jump

[twin gale]

or cacodemons

@austere bronze done

idk if ill ever beat Taras Nabad

[real holly]

the hardest part of this level is actually the double Marauder plus heavy demon spam (Hell Knights and the Serpents i forgot the name of plus some cybermancubuses), used double bfg there bc fucking christ

this one is probably harder than Super Gore Nest but they are pretty close

[abstract compass]

anyone having random crashes while loading Slayerpalast? Im trying to practice quickswap again and I found this mod to practice, but as soon as I load the world spear it crashes to desktop

[azure oriole]

Taras nabad took me like 40 UN attempts while SGN took around 10

[twin gale]

stay far away

[next adder]

Anyone else’s Eternal not connecting to the battlenet?

[azure oriole]

Idk I just started playing the story :0

[hushed crystal]

Yeah, I also tried the Master Level of Acients Gods 2, but I don´t remember its name

[terse sparrow]

The world spear

[hushed crystal]

Yeah

That's very difficult

But Taras Nabad is different

[terse sparrow]

I think the world spear is on the easier side of the big 4 master levels

[abstract compass]

TIL chatgpt can come up with a slayerpalast training guide lol

[hushed crystal]

Maybe, I was tired when I play so it could be for that

[rigid storm]

What was the hardest Arena for you?

Did you get stuck on any particular one?

(In Taras)

[azure oriole]

Yeah, that would he nice.

[minor pumice]

Taras Nabad was really difficult for me in classic mod because in the room where you have to take the mark of the beast for the crucible, I didn't have the bfg so that room without every weapon was the hardest. The room with the two archviles too (without the bfg)

But now I can finally do all the master levels without using BFG and the crucible

[tranquil path]

hi is anyone doing steam achievements on battlemode ? I am willing to help

[forest oracle]

Im playing on ps5

[polar osprey]

i dont play consistently, once every like 1 or 2 days

ok nvm that is consistent but

i swear my movement is better than this 🙏

[austere bronze]

yo that's dope

i definitely think you can do TN ML on UN! you just gotta practice the hard parts :p

one easy way to do it is to enter these commands
find checkpoints
trigger (whatever the name of the checkpoint is)

the coin room is the one that ends with 11_vault and the double archie room ends in flooded_second

[torn copper]

Does missions from campaign changes in horde mode?

[polar osprey]

horde mode is very different from campaign

you start with one weapon and a slot machine kinda thing each round gives you a different weapon, and each time its harder, you also get abilities and stuff, i think thats what horde mode is

[azure oriole]

arcade mode

[real holly]

can you tell me more about these commands so I can practice them?

[calm agate]

Anyone wants to do battlemode multiplayer achievements

[austere bronze]

after entering find checkpoints, you just choosr whatever checkpoint you wanna load from the list that appears and enter "trigger" before its name

then you reload checkpoint (gotta wait for 10s for some reason)

[forest oracle]

Anyone ps5

[fair tangle]

PS4 here

[minor pumice]

Guys... in the xbox store Doom Eternal Deluxe edition is on sale for 17,49€... I can finally play the DLCs (and have the demonic slayer skin)

Before The Dark Ages come out I want to finish the DLCs in ultra nightmare

[azure oriole]

I swear it's on sale like every other week

and if you do wanna do the DLCs on Ultra Nightmare you have like 20 days

godspeed choom

[minor pumice]

No problem, I can do that

How difficult are the DLCs compared to the main campaign?

[azure oriole]

I've never played em

[minor pumice]

Anyway I played horde mode so I know the demons very well

[polar osprey]

good bit harder

tho funnily enough tag 1 is harder than tag 2

[austere bronze]

tag2 is somehow the easiest campaign😭

[gray rivet]

I HATE the dark lord 😤

[young mango]

Me too, sometimes

Most of the times actually

3/4ths give or take

[fringe torrent]

You don't get abilities, but you get the ability to score extra lives via bonus levels

[young mango]

Yea but like what is the advantage over the lost soul in this scenario? The extra input is appreciated don’t get me wrong, but I’m somewhat confused by the proposition of using something more inconvenient, even if not by much

[true heath]

And at some point you get the hammer which trivializes the rest of the run (until the double buffed marauder)

Fuck the double buffed marauder

I'm on switch so I already struggled with the double marauder in tag1

[young mango]

Dblade the turrets goated Strat

[forest oracle]

Can we play i don't know if it even works

[fair tangle]

I don't have PS Plus, so I think it couldn't work

Btw, that damn subscription is too expensive

[pseudo hare]

Gripe I have about the Ancient Gods, Davoth uses a sci Fi mech

I feel it would be more fitting if he wore medieval battle armor

And to make him large and intimidating have him able to turn into some sort of more demonic form

[fair tangle]

That's true

[azure oriole]

The medieval stuff is more the Sentinels' thing than Davoth's, to be fair.

[pseudo hare]

I was mainly thinking about hell in general

[pseudo hare]

I posted this here as I plan to do this for my ID lore rewriting project

[fair tangle]

Although Dark Lord being so powerful, maybe he was so scary about the Slayer that he weared that armor just for precaution

[fair tangle]

Dark Ages proves things wrong

[azure oriole]

What?

[fair tangle]

Demons in Dark Ages have medievel look

[azure oriole]

Sure, but the demons before them chronologically had boxy retraux cyborg parts. The demons having medieval parts on them is likely not a Hell thing, but a Sentinel thing. Hell likes to steal their victims' resources and use them for themselves.

[pseudo hare]

In the classic games Iirc hell has medieval castles and Gothic cathedrals and Doom 3 has dungeons and torture chambers

[pseudo hare]

Like how Ganondorf can transform into Ganon in the Legend of Zelda (albeit I would base Davoth's demonic form moreso off of goats than pigs)

[fair tangle]

Yeah, UAC helped hell on that too, but in it's core, hell doesn't have any advanced technology besides what they gain with the Makyrs

[azure oriole]

Hell uses technology in the original games, and there is no indication the technology is the UAC's.

People assume this, but it's only an assumption. The classic games never actually say it's UAC technology. Doom 3, in fact, also has Revenants with missile launchers that, IIRC, are never said to be UAC in origin.

[pseudo hare]

Doesn't the Doom Bible say it was stolen from the UAC during the invasion

[azure oriole]

Doom Bible ain't canon - can't rely on it. The team rejected it so bad they fired Tom Hall.

[pseudo hare]

I'm not saying it's fully canon I'm just thinking that it still had some influence on the lore hell doesn't Doom 3 and 2016 use ideas from the Bible

[azure oriole]

Just don't shoot the buff zoombies?

Jk fuck that fight.

[true heath]

There's no buff zombies it's a totem surrounded by 4 turrets making a shield

[azure oriole]

They do use ideas from it, and parts of the Doom Bible definitely made their way into the main game. I just would not assume anything more from it unless we get proof.

[gray rivet]

Where is that again?

[pseudo hare]

Say you seem knowledgeable on Doom lore would you like to join my group chat about my ID lore rewriting project (it includes Doom)

[true heath]

Horde mode

[gray rivet]

Ohhh ok

Thanks

[azure oriole]

I appreciate the offer, but I get kind of busy with work and writing recently so I don't think I'd be of much help. I hope the project goes well, though, and I'm open to explain anything if you need it here in the server.

[pseudo hare]

That's fine

I wouldn't kick you or anything if you're inactive

[minor pumice]

I HAVE THE DLCs

Now I can kill them all

[gray rivet]

Enjoy, don't forget to use the hammah

[twin gale]

yes the lost souls are better but i think cacodemons are just more fun

[gray rivet]

No more monke?

[twin gale]

no more account

You should change your pfp back for clarity

[gray rivet]

Return to monke

[austere bronze]

i've finally gotten to a point where i completely naturally incorporate fast dblade and mod swaps without the animations for it, and it's amazing xD
consistently swapping mods has gotta be the most fun way to play

[winged depot]

Hello, i have a doubt.

Why the Khan Maykr became evil?

Is related that she got whispered by the Dark Lord to create the Divinity Machine?

[azure oriole]

The maykr life cycle got thrown out of whack when the father disappeared, so they made a deal with hell in exchange for argent energy which is used to extend the life span of maykrs, preventing transfiguration. She's acting in the best interests of urdak

[vernal vapor]

Should I get the ancient gods dlc?

[azure oriole]

yes

[vernal kayak]

Yesn’t

I found a YouTube video of a poor guy stuck and raging on the TAG 1 section with the possessed tyrant on the holt. He still hasn’t beat it

[oblique topaz]

How 😭

[vernal kayak]

Not using weapons properly

He’s been stuck on it for nearly 3 hours

[gray rivet]

That must feel. Insane, very sick

[oblique topaz]

Lock on burst into lock on burst into more lock on burst

Was my strat

[twin gale]

there are pillars there for a reason

send the link

[olive solar]

hey guys i want hear you guys opnion for DOOM ETERNAL nightmare difficulty is good choice?

[twin gale]

yeah but you better stay on the move or you'll die a lot

[olive solar]

keep moving and kill demons right?

[twin gale]

you gotta also learn to use all of your arsenal in a good way

[olive solar]

weapon swap?

[twin gale]

yuh

[azure oriole]

mid difficulty

[humble ridge]

Imo there will never be a more badass description of the Slayer's shotgun than "a steel-barreled sword of vengeance."

[serene egret]

don't think anyone's gonna argue with you there

[real holly]

a beautiful un ancient gods part 1 run, I take out the possesed pain elemental withotu bfg but my ego said ''no dont use it against the other possesed demon'' and ''dont use saving throw''

and i get fucking killed eventually by the fucker

all because i was trying to flex ''I beat Samur without BFG guys or saving throw''

legitimately never using the ''no BFG'' mentality ever again unless im casually replaying

[azure oriole]

zased

[real holly]

like im going to be honest

it feels like pro players gaslight others into ''noo dont save the bfg just dont use it'' by always going ''I dont use bfg at all''

and it probably is unintentional

[azure oriole]

DOOM Eternal brainrot

[real holly]

there is no indicator that says ''look this LOSER used the BFG/Crucible/Shield mod'' in the game after you beat something

i got the reward for the milestone thats it

the achievment didnt say ''handicap yourself bc you can flex it later on''

the achievment said ''SURVIVE THE FUCKING THING'' by calling it ''embrace the madness''

why would they give you these tools anyways? Just so you would not use them?

fuck im so pissed, legitimately id rather play Super Gore Nest Master Level and Mars Core Master level on Ultra Nightmare than The Holt on Ultra Nightmare

which I did mind you

The Holts arenas are all so fucking cramped like legitimately theres only 1/5ths of the arenas where I dont feel like im on a chokehold

and when it isnt cramped they throw some possed demon at you

wdym it took like 30 lock on rockets to kill the possesed Tyrant

The Holt has the tag 2 design problems but without the Hammer and weird reskin demons

gah

crashout ignore all this its probably wrong mr pro player reading this

well the critiques of The Holt at least

legitimately cannot stand that level

[young mango]

funnily enough I was lurking

[real holly]

cbt but in Doom Eternal form

Im a good player fuck it its just this level is claustrophobic with possesed demons everywhere

at least other claustrophobic levels dont have possesed demons

and also theres the rng factor bc i can deal with a possesed Hell Knight fine but sometimes the spirits will choose the mancubi or cyber mancubi

and that takes longer and its more dangerous so at the end my patience is at the mercy of whatever demon the Spirit chooses

and sometimes it isnt even hard to deal with x possesed demon it just takes longer than usual and it just feels like padding

[oblique topaz]

possessed hell knight arena moment

[real holly]

i can kill those easy with lock on rockets

but a possesed mancubi or cyber mancubi god forbid is a chore

[oblique topaz]

its not hard js

[real holly]

not hard mind you, its just a chore

[oblique topaz]

annoying

[real holly]

yeah

ive beaten these arenas countless times without dying but it just ISNT fucking fun

im going to play Final Sin on Nightmare as a palette clenser after this shit

something thats actually fun

[terse sparrow]

Ive beaten tag1 on nightmare i always found uac the hardest

[oblique topaz]

the open arenas r fun on holt

[terse sparrow]

I still fucking hate the holt tho

[oblique topaz]

but some of them

[terse sparrow]

That possessed tyrant and the arena before is bullshit

[oblique topaz]

ion rlly feel like its hard but

tyrant DOESNT die

[faint sigil]

I just realised how broken microwave beam was

[terse sparrow]

Im pretty sure possesed tyrants have double hp

Thats 20k hp

[rigid storm]

Supposedly he was supposed to turn into a dragon after you beat him out of the mech suit but that got cut

[faint sigil]

What’s the most annoying possessed enemy?

[oblique topaz]

they take like what

10 lock on bursts?

idek

[oblique topaz]

all w range

[terse sparrow]

Lock ons deal reduced damage to tyrants

[oblique topaz]

yea ik

[terse sparrow]

And im also pretty sure ballista does less to ghosts

[oblique topaz]

but possessed have so much ballista resistence

isnt it 90% for some of them

[terse sparrow]

That means its rocket launcher pb

[terse sparrow]

Baron or Tyrants

Barons also just dont fucking die AND theyre fast as shit and aggressive as shit while possessed

They give u no break unless you use microwave beam

[oblique topaz]

imagine possessed archville

[terse sparrow]

Possessed armoured baron

Possessed icon of sin

[oblique topaz]

is that even possible

[terse sparrow]

No it isnt

[oblique topaz]

bc u cant like break

i already fucking hate armored barons

[terse sparrow]

Ik a possessed icon of sin is bad

But what about…

A possessed zombie

[oblique topaz]

brooooo

reminds me of when i died to a group of zombies on exultia bc i fell while platforming into a group of them on purple goo

[terse sparrow]

Honestly tho i would rather fight 15 doom hunters at once on nightmare then 3 possessed barons at once on nightmare

[real holly]

that was fun

Final Sin might be my favourite Doom Eternal stage as of now

theres very little I dislike about it

the Icon folds like origani if you combo ballista and rockets

the bad taste of the holt has been washed away

[graceful current]

final sin is very fun yeah

[peak jewel]

Anyone else having a hard time getting eternal to run? It worked fine a couple years ago on the same computer and now it’s just not working

Freezes on title screen every time

[real holly]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/585809871891333132/1364818451788468254/my-image_1.png?ex=680b0dbc&is=6809bc3c&hm=68c98c49930e7e27eed16f8119ef2028cfc3768ccb0f4a7a6a91b2317ab043b9&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

stage tierlist based on how much fun I have in them

ill be honest while i can 100% see the flaws of tag 2 they dont detract from my enjoyment of most of it

its a case of ''your right this is weird but I like it anyway''

as Sonic fan i think Doom Eternals fan standards are correct but yall need to known that tag 2 isnt neccesarily an abomination its just a good but flawed dlc. Its not like legitimately broken or genuienly bad in my eyes, its just flawed. My time as a Sonic fan consuming pure unadulterated rushed slop where only 1/3rd of the product is fun for most games has admittedly made me complacent but tag 2 is still just fun, despite its flaws

[burnt moss]

From what I recall, my main solution was to use Lock-on burst a couple times and throw both grenades each time I stun him with hammer. I also don’t have to worry about all the phantom demons if I never kill the baron who chases me around. Just keep Dark Lord between you and the baron so he can’t get you. That said, I haven’t done this for like a year.

[real holly]

reminder that the Hammer instantly vaporizes all of the demons the Dark Lord generates

so basically when the Dark Lord summons all those demons you jump in with the hammer and erase them all

dont worry about losing the hammer theres fodder demons around the arena that can be glory killed easily with the heavy cannon (leaves them in glory kill state due to low damage output) and you can quickly get back your hammer

chaingun shield also helps for the demons the Dark lord summons, especially the two wolves and Hell Knight, trickles them down fast and you dont take damage

also once you stun him (green flashing eyes) hit him twice with a basic quick swap (shotgun or ballista) or just some damage BEFORE you go for the hammer strike, take advantage of that window so you can reach the end of each of his healthbars faster

when hes stunned rockets from my experience do the most damage

https://youtu.be/AMpclkleEe0 not my best run but it shows what can be done

and im not THAT good of a player i havent beaten anything but 3 master levels on ultra nightmare and tag 2 on ultra nightmare so no crazy tech from me

just more vanilla shit

i also like this boss unlike 99% of Doom Eternal players so i replay it more therefore am decent at it

[terse sparrow]

Doom hunter base that low is fucking insane

[lilac locust]

Hello guys,any idea when will they dix the game?Cant start the game since new nvidia drivers.Im tired of posting tickets to nvidia.This should be handled by Bethesda and Nvidia,not the customer.All I het is menu music and black screen.Im not rolling back to old drivers!

[rigid storm]

You expect Bethesda to update a game from 6 years ago when the new one is coming out in like three weeks?

[young mango]

6 lol

[rigid storm]

If the Nvidia drivers are what's causing the issues, just roll back man, that's what the feature is there for

[terse sparrow]

They arent gonna fix argentas paladi so why would they fix this problem

Wrong comment reply but still

[austere bronze]

cbt doom eternal mods🥰

speaking of those, i should replay unholy urdak

been a good while since i last played it

[burnt moss]

That’s mostly what I was trying to describe, except you could throw grenades during each cycle, and melt him even faster. Also, again the demon he sends to chase you, don’t kill him and you won’t have to deal with the other summons at all.

[azure oriole]

UN no upgrades attempts to far

3 dead at cultist base.

6 dead at super gore nest.

2 dead Icon of sin.

So I must practice super gore nest lmao.

90% of my deaths are I did the master level I'm better than this game, I get cocky, and then I die.

Hence the super gore nest problem

[cyan tartan]

how do I change the weapon aim to a white dot in eternal

[azure oriole]

You have to change the image in files I think. Could be wrong

[cyan tartan]

dang

[vast cedar]

I’m pretty sure it’s like simple cross hair or something in the settings, imma go look

[cyan tartan]

wait I found it

[vast cedar]

Yay :D

[cyan tartan]

crosshair style in UI

[proven tusk]

anyone know this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRTpDqQtUNQ

[azure oriole]

Where?

I tried to change it yesterday and couldn't find it myself.

[cyan tartan]

Settings, UI, HUD then crosshair style should be there

[azure oriole]

Wait, is this a slight improvement!!!

Let's go, maybe I'll get a 3rd run to icon of sin.

And then die to the nerves

[burnt moss]

What I hate about deathless isn’t specifically the starting over, it’s the starting over weak.

[azure oriole]

What I hate is the intro being unskipable for the first few seconds.

Seriously if it was skipable I would do way more attempts per day lmao

[pearl valley]

I just realized if the Unmaykr killed Marauders it would probably justify its existence in the game without any arguments lol

[graceful current]

yeah

[azure oriole]

It does, it's just bad at it.

[graceful current]

The issue with the Unmaykr is

The BFG deals so much damage that there’s literally zero reason to not use it since it’ll also take out nearby enemies

The BFG and the Unmaker are supposed to be crowd control Vs single target decimation but like

The BFG already decimates all singular targets

The Unmaykr’s only benefit is that it uses less ammo but since the BFG takes up half of it you’re just saving ammo for more Unmaykr shots

[vast cedar]

They really should’ve just had it share ammo with cells like in 64 but uses it at a faster rate or something like how micro missiles works. You shoot the unmarker once and you’ve basically lost AN ENTIRE HALF OF BFG AMMO

[pearl valley]

yeah :/

[graceful current]

BFG ammo should’ve been like

[pearl valley]

one unmaykr shot and you lose half ur BFG ammo, feel bad

[graceful current]

idk a bit above 60

[pearl valley]

if the unmaykr just stalled after firing half ur ammo it would be much better

tbh if it killed marauders that would fix like 4 of the games problems

if only i came up with this years ago...

[graceful current]

Yeag it would also be busted as fuck tho lol

[pearl valley]

true, maybe if it had less ammo per ammo

like if it were a shotgun maybe!

[austere bronze]

you mean that it could one cycle the marauder?

[pearl valley]

yes, with the shield up

and armored barons and such

[graceful current]

Yeah that would just be too broken imo

Oh armoured barons tho that would be fine

They’re not like flow disrupting enough to feel like it’d be OP

[pearl valley]

true but thats kind of the superweapon thing right, its a rare ammo for a "fuck you" button

not letting you get that out with the marauders was a mistake, even if theyre not that hard

[graceful current]

I guess but Marauders are kind of the top of the food chain and you already get provided unmaykr ammo in most instances where they appear

[pearl valley]

true

[graceful current]

Ig if it took like

A decent chunk of ammo tho…..?

[pearl valley]

yeah, like a third of a BFG one

[graceful current]

But even then like

[pearl valley]

one shot, dont miss

[graceful current]

You can just.
Stun Marauder once
Whip out BFG

[graceful current]

That’s not really the Unmaker anymore tho it has to be semi auto

[pearl valley]

yeah but i wouldnt mind that

unmaykr was implemented badly enough

[austere bronze]

nah that'd be boring

it's good thst super weapons aren't an insta death to at least a single enemy

[pearl valley]

It would be a rare resource for a rare circumstance that you don't always want to deal with "properly" like the BFG

[faint sigil]

Samuel Hayden’s boss was genuinly so good

He actually fought so smartly

[strange gale]

dih 💔

[real holly]

Ultra Nightmare 👍

[azure oriole]

My favourite thing about starting a new UN run is the excuse to use pb sticky because I "don't have any over options"

[real holly]

Thanks Ultra Nightmare for making me enjoy the early game less than before

So boring to go through Hell on Earth and Exultia just to get another shot at Cultist Base+Doom Hunter Base

Good levels but not good levels on the 10th replay

[azure oriole]

I lose most of my runs to super gore nest.

[real holly]

Really? Any specific arena?

[azure oriole]

I don't know why, but the one with the buff totem, I go through the wrong teleporter, panic, corner myself, die.

[real holly]

That's understandable

I have died there before on my extra lives run

But I have managed to do that level deathless on nightmare before

[azure oriole]

My last run died on the final boss, because I panicked and forgot how to do the fight.

But I got there, and that's all I need to keep at it.

[real holly]

The day I pass Doom Hunter Base on UN im cruising straight to Icon of Sin

I can do that level on Nightmare without dying with my eyes closed (manner of saying I got it handled)

Maybe the gladiator boss acts up and kills me though

But ever since my last UN main campaign run fell off at Cultist Base I took a break and went after master levels

So far 100% Mars Core and Super Gore Nest so not a bad detour

[azure oriole]

The moment I get past gore nest it's over.

[austere bronze]

i use pb sticky at all stages

although mostly sticky punch cancels

not really much harder than pb+sticky, you literally just gotta do pb -> sticky -> punch

you just have to make sure to punch at the right time

[azure oriole]

I do too, it's just that you have literally no other options at the start lmao

I guess you have pb punch, but that's to hard on controller

[hollow oak]

any1 know how to do the achievement that looks like your chainsawing a demons head in tag1?

[fringe torrent]

Beat level 1 on nightmare

[azure oriole]

Opinions on the phrase "always play like you're one hit away from death"

[gray rivet]

I might wanna do a close up fun risky play

[polar osprey]

always lock the fuck in

[real holly]

I wish I could apply it

But I've reached a certain level of skill where I don't necessarily have to think im at low health to preform optimally

[polar osprey]

yeah, some of the part of skill is staying calm always

if ur panicking, you will fuck up and die

[real holly]

My brain automatically does a set of things and thoughts that make me look like im struggling to survive when in reality I haven't lost full armor yet and have full health

[polar osprey]

"oh fuck im on 2 hp"
200hp and 100 armor

[austere bronze]

it's true to some extent

[real holly]

Like it's a solo arachnotron with two imps "backing it up" should not require quickswap plus dash to avoid random projectiles+granades

[austere bronze]

it's true that you should always be "locked in", but you shouldn't play that defensively/focus on restacking that much normally

[real holly]

Especially on Icon of Sin, there you should be on the big guys ass as much as possible and keep moving

I used to think playing defensively and restacking constantly was a good idea but all it did was put me against heaps of demons while the Icon spawned more or randomly punched me

By just damaging the poor sod 24/7 the entire arena just watches you on some "he's too fast I can't 🥺"

I wonder if the Icon just looks at me flying around on some "what the fuck is he doing"

"he couldn't do this in Doom 2 tf?"

[austere bronze]

it looks very funny from a non-1st person perspective lol

[real holly]

True

[polar osprey]

well tbf you are probably at the speed of a fly for him

so ur just buzzing all over the place

the fight for him is much shorter than for you, or it seems like it to him

[real holly]

That's what im thinking

He's like "fuck where did he go now"

And then when he finally finds you and tries to punch you you activate the shield and he's on some "I hate my job"

His strat isn't half bad actually, get flies of your own to attack this really annoying enemy fly

[strange gale]

i don't think this and being locked in are really the same thing

[real holly]

This also is true

Most of the time

[strange gale]

yeah both require concentration but in the former case your priority is to not die which isn't necessarily the same as beating the current encounter

that can just come down to forgoing restacking and killing whatever's trying to kill you

[real holly]

I can lock in at full hp and armor and combo some poor Baron that just spawned

[strange gale]

the difference here is that one is specific and the other is general

locking in is a prerequisite for living there

[real holly]

At some point you live locked in

Until a surprise comes around and you have to somehow lock in even harder just to survive

[polar osprey]

gotta pull a MuricanEagle every once in a while

[real holly]

Fire

[azure oriole]

I think the tips more don't do something stupid, than play constantly stressed?

[true heath]

For some reason I play certain games better when I'm stressed

[azure oriole]

I wonder why that is?

Someone get quickswaps in here lmao

[robust nacelle]

adrenaline spike makes your quick twitch reaction time better but you can still mess up

[strange gale]

i'm not gonna pretend to understand the neurochemistry or psychology behind this but basically, your brain is tricked into thinking the stakes are real (loss aversion) and in turn it makes you perform better

losing a UN run doesn't really mean anything but it is frustrating and the human brain doesn't like that

as far as your "monkey brain" is concerned it's the same as coming home from a hunt empty handed

[true heath]

But then yesterday I was stressed from school and I played 3 good rounds of dbfz and then I played like shit for 30 minutes

[strange gale]

modern first world living conditions are so safe that mundane things like this are the most common way to trigger flow state/fight or flight

[robust nacelle]

try some quake 1 dm on the bad place map

that'll really get that going

[azure oriole]

I don't get frustrated with UN, does that mean somethings wrong with me (I just go oh, and then go again the next day)

lock on burst

[strange gale]

natural or built up tolerance 🤷‍♂️

[azure oriole]

If it's built up tolerance I know where I got it from... Cough Lavenza persona 5

"it seems lady luck isn't on your side" one shots me 10 minutes into the fight.

[true heath]

violent tendencies intensify due to a literal child

[austere bronze]

got 1160 hours in eternal, just fast travelled for the first time! yippee

[azure oriole]

69420 hours in eternal alone

[young mango]

I don’t get the chance to use fast travel very often because skipping almost any encounter means the game won’t let you fast travel

Not on 1.0 and 1.1, but I’m not a hundo runner so I have no use for fast travel there

[azure oriole]

Wait guys I might have the fucking run!!!!

I'm half way through the game.

Everyone give me your prayers

i pray for u

I hope I don't get soft locked again, but I'm past super gore nest and that level is most likely to softlock (hasn't happened in a UN run yet, but did happen in master level UN run)

How are you getting softlocked on sgn?

[azure oriole]

Sometimes a door doesn't open if you reload checkpoint, die, or the game crashes and you reload into the level (the last one being what I've experienced)

damn update 4.0 again

#screenshots from a nightmare playthrough

I tried everything to not have to restart the level lmao.

Question: what in your opinion makes someone good at eternal?

[polar osprey]

mmmm

i'd say movement is more important than quickswapping, since you dont have to worry about getting hit

[azure oriole]

being M1

[azure oriole]

As in achievements, what do they have to achieve to be a good player.

[polar osprey]

mmmmmm

[azure oriole]

In my opinion you're good if you beat the game on nightmare, not even UN, just nightmare

[polar osprey]

oh just a good player?

yeh in that case nightmare

[azure oriole]

Just good, not pro

[polar osprey]

yeah pro is like graveyard master level

or maybe kaisercampaign on nightmare idk

[azure oriole]

How long did it take for the first ultra nightmare clear?

[polar osprey]

for what

KC?

[azure oriole]

Like the first recorded completion.

[polar osprey]

well kaisecampaign barely has any records on it

[polar osprey]

so just for the game?

[azure oriole]

Beat DOOM Eternal main campaign, DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One, DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two on UN deathless and no damage taken

[azure oriole]

Yeah, for base game, the og ultimate challenge.

[polar osprey]

probably less than a week since release

[azure oriole]

No damage UN has only been done in 2016.

[vernal kayak]

...using bananas as controllers.

[polar osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRq88ZRlqW4

[azure oriole]

In one run, no reloads.

[polar osprey]

oh that wasnt un nvm

[azure oriole]

https://youtu.be/NJLxTBS_OVU?si=yLqoakCGhScxAaMN

[polar osprey]

i watched that video

[azure oriole]

Have you seen the full run?

It's so cool.

[polar osprey]

no just the video on it

[azure oriole]

https://youtu.be/EE__FKqivq8?si=nzJLJz8TyzqOQ6sx

Here's the full run.

[austere bronze]

a reasonable definition of a good player would be someone who can without too much issue beat un on the base campaign/tag1

[twin gale]

what if i beat it with like 30 extra lives lost

[austere bronze]

but if you wanna consider how good you can be at the game, then you'd become a "good" player at like 1000 hours for most players

depends on how you measure

[azure oriole]

Better than 80 death's and 30 extra lifes lost.

[twin gale]

hope i can do it again one day and get that count down

still havent finished tag 2

the arena with the possessed baron keeps killing me

on immora

[azure oriole]

You can do it!!!

[azure oriole]

I just used the BFG on them, and then used all my lock on rockets.

[azure oriole]

Next time go into UN, that's what I did after tag2 went right for UN no upgrades (which is what I'm doing now).

[twin gale]

im pretty sure if i just get that one arena done it'll be smooth sailing until i beat the dark lord

[twin gale]

im gonna die in either exultia or cultist base

maybe even hell on earth if im that bad after not playing the game as much recently

[azure oriole]

Don't worry there is only 1 area left after that one, it's very hard and requires the sacred shot gun mod of long forgetness fr fr.

[twin gale]

good

[azure oriole]

It's totally not a horde of imps.

[twin gale]

i'll try the dark lord on nightmare in another save file to see if i can do it

[azure oriole]

If you beat darklord on nightmare you get a very cool reward.

[twin gale]

is that beating the dark lord or beating immora

[azure oriole]

shiny cheese weapon skin

Dark lord, you get the coolest podium thingy in the game

[twin gale]

bet

do you also get a menu background or just a pdodium

[azure oriole]

Just a podium #screenshots if you want it spoiled.

[twin gale]

im about to see if i can get lucky and beat the one arena in immora

because thats pretty much what happened when i tried the final reclaimed earth arena after a while

[gray rivet]

What suit is that?

[azure oriole]

Zoombie Slayer, you had to get to slayer club level 25 before the slayer club point system ended in 2023.

Aka you can't get it anymore.

[gray rivet]

Ah, Ok thsnks

[twin gale]

why do i get 7 notifications for the same 2 things each every time i open the main menu

[azure oriole]

Because doom eternal lmao

I just turned online off when I'm not playing horde or battle.

Battle mode is good btw.

[twin gale]

spamming lock on definitely helped with the possessed baron

so now just that stone imp arena and i'll be at the dark lord right

looks like it

[worn terrace]

time for one doom level a day till tda, getting close now

[azure oriole]

Yep.

[twin gale]

i got to the dark lord 4th phase and he's really annoying so ima come back later

he spawns in the 4 demons right after i use the sentinel hammer on him so i have to glory kill 2 zombies and then i get damn near all my health stolen in the process

[azure oriole]

Save the hammer for the demon spawns, also his summons have like 90x less health.

[mild solstice]

hi im atively playing doom eternal im on the priestest castyle idk waht its called

[azure oriole]

That's very cool Sans, you may want to be careful, heard that level is spine chilling.

[rigid storm]

That's like the top 1% of the playerbase... Nightmare is good enough to be considered a good player

[azure oriole]

So am I a good player?? 🥺

[rigid storm]

Hell even beating the campaign on Ultra Violent is good enough for a good player

You're a great player for Nightmare

And your crazy good for anything +

[twin gale]

what am i supposed to do against the dark lord then

i think i'd lose my sanity if i had to slowly wither down his health praying that he does a green eye attack for even longer than 3 cycles

[true heath]

I mean you can if you bully Bethesda support enough

[rigid storm]

Kill the summons with the hammer, and then Glory Kill the fodder demons to get it back for the next time the Dark Lord does his thing

[twin gale]

thats exactly what im doing dawg

[rigid storm]

Then... what's the issue?

You'll have the hammer for the next time he shows an opening

[young mango]

Hit the dark lord and the summons at the same time, 90% of the time they’ll be all bunched together

[twin gale]

im ass that's the issue

[rigid storm]

Fair, can't help that

[twin gale]

i also tend to get the worst rng seed possible so he never does the green attack and i think he does so i shoot him and he regains health

then when he does do the green attack i miss the shot

i fell off bro

back when i couldnt stop playing this gamei proply coulda done this easy

[crystal thicket]

Hot take for Doom Eternal: Maurders aren't bad.

[mild solstice]

corrwect

correct

[spark minnow]

Pay attention to your distance from the dark lord. He uses similar patterns when you’re in different ranges. Use SSG meat hook on the fodder and chainsaw them. You can get back hammer quickly by killing the dogs with ballista

[azure oriole]

wrong

[twin gale]

when i died on the dark lord for the first time it gave me the marauder tutorial pop up

even id knows

[young mango]

“in your opinion”💔

But if I were to take this seriously, I mean idk “good” is subjective, I do think saying anybody who can beat the campaign on UV “good” could be a stretch, but it’s also because the usage of the word “good” itself is a bit pliable, there’s nothing wrong with somebody having subpar gameplay therefore I feel as if there’s no reason to skew my opinion just to be more generous because at the end of the day it’s just a game. There’s lots of things to take into account because I’m wagering a lot on saying like 90% of the playerbase plays on ITYTD and our perception is just somewhat skewed by what we see online, making anybody who just plays on HMP massively above average by default. So I feel like while using comparative skill as a benchmark for players makes sense, it doesn’t really apply in every situation. And it changes depending on who you’re exposed to and whatnot so obviously in a discord where like 3 people a day come in saying “Just beat UN”, M1’s definition isn’t very much of a stretch.

[azure oriole]

i beat un marauder only

[graceful current]

REPLAYING 2016 HAS THROWN ME OFF SO MUCH ON GLORY KILLING IN ETERNAL 😭

I KEEP SPAMMING F AND BEING BEWILDERED WHEN IT JUST SWAPS MY WEAPON MODS A BUNCH

[true heath]

The second I finish eternal on PC I'm downpatching the game so I can experience TAG1 at its hardest

[azure oriole]

downpatch to version 4.1

And experience the beauty of past DOOM Eternal like:

-blood punch not working
-inconsistent falter system
-automap ambient sound loop bug

And more

[young mango]

im on 1.0 currently so i get to experience the full suite of glitches, barring the stuff that was added in

[azure oriole]

nice

wish I could try 1.0 but I dont have enough storage and I also have to downgrade gpu drivers

[ruby comet]

I got an Easter bunny Lego set and named it daisy

[dire roost]

hello guys

is there any way to transfer my save from the mod version of the game to my vanilla doom eternal?

[tame topaz]

Pretty sure there isn't.

[rose sparrow]

Just curious, what are the good ways to level up?

[azure oriole]

Dark Lord/Sentinel Prime grind

[azure oriole]

Or have good enough evidence that you should have the skin (for example I had it on another device)

[cyan tartan]

does anyone have me tips for better settings in doom eternal pc

[minor pumice]

No, you can get it, I got it like one week ago

[azure oriole]

Best tip for settings in any game is don't change anything that will fuck up your muscle memory

[polar osprey]

i mean

its better for doom eternal to do so, making a keybind for every weapon is very very useful

sometimes you gotta break your bad muscle memory to rebuild a better one

[azure oriole]

Yes, and no, it depends on if the settings are extremely unoptimized or not.

[polar osprey]

well yeah

[azure oriole]

No point going from 60 to 70 sensitivity for example.

[polar osprey]

iirc my settings are
q for SS
1 and 2 for shotgun and minigun respectfully
r for assault rifle
f for plasma rifle
x ballista
c rocket launcher
z flame belch
v for hammer/crucible
middle click for grenades
m5 for grenade swap i think
ctrl chainsaw

do i change anything or is that good

[azure oriole]

The question is are you comfortable with it? If it works for you don't let anyone tell you its bad.

Hell I use dpad for jumping and dashing on controller lmao

[polar osprey]

well yeah it works for me i just gotta get used to it

easier said than done on kaisercampaign no less

[hollow oak]

i just use the weapon wheel

[polar osprey]

what works for you works

i used the weapon wheel too but i feel this keeps the flow of combat going more

[austere bronze]

your best settings just depends on you

but generally you wanna go to 120 FoV and get a relatively low eDPI

i got 215 eDPI, but i also got a large mousemat and if i move my mouse very fast, it moves as if i got a higher DPI to allow for easier ballista boosting

[rose sparrow]

You only get 10’000 and 5’000 for those

[polar osprey]

wb other stuff then?

[rose sparrow]

Idk I need one that’s fast

[austere bronze]

kill the marauder at the end of arc complex, reload checkpoint immediately, repeat

[cyan tartan]

k thanks

[azure oriole]

Battle mech ballista is the best weapon skin in the game, prove me wrong.

Up there with the chaingun skin that makes it look like a pool toy.

[strange gale]

that's insanely low wow

not even tacfps pros go there

[azure oriole]

If you have a large mouse matt it isn't, if you have the space use it.

Just allows for more control

[strange gale]

no that's like 193cm/360

almost 2 meters/6'4"

[azure oriole]

I'ma need a visual of what it looks like lmao.

[strange gale]

my mousepad is 91cm/3ft wide and that isn't enough for a 180 on this sens

that's how low it is

i guess that works if you have a gigantic desk and nba player arms but god damn

[azure oriole]

Back at it again at sentinel prime.

End game time

[tranquil nest]

Just found this discord server ngl-

Anyway I've been 100%ing Doom Eternal recently, I have like... 3 more levels? All on nighrmare... this has taken me about 2 months now-

[azure oriole]

Not 100% until UN is done my man.

[tranquil nest]

Yeah kinda too late. I just can't figure out how to get one toy for a level... I forget which level- one sec... imma load up my game-

And yes I've looked at tutorials, didn't help

[azure oriole]

So you've done UN, nice.

[tranquil nest]

No

[azure oriole]

Ah, are you going to do it?

[tranquil nest]

Possibly? I ain't good enough st the game for it ngl

So I can't get this one toy in Nekravol, it's the toy next to the arena with the Tyrant

[azure oriole]

That's what I said a while ago, and now I'm doing no updates UN, and am on the second to last mission of the game.

[strange gale]

now do a true no upgrades run

csg base fire only, no chainsaw, and 1 crystal

[azure oriole]

Lmao, na I'm just going for what the mile stone no upgrade says

[tranquil nest]

Yeah... I can't get to where the first toy is in Nekravol

[vernal kayak]

https://youtu.be/R8ZUtivnt38?si=v1JeehIJ4NbgcT0o

This one?

[tranquil nest]

Were about to find out

Yea... but the gate isn't open for me

Do I have ti complete the level for the gate to open?-

Wait nvm

[tranquil nest]

Thank you. Other tutorials weren't helping me idk why

[vernal kayak]

All good.

[tranquil nest]

Finally. Nebraska is 100%!

[vernal kayak]

I’m replaying Doom Eternal on Nightmare for the first time and the first three levels are rough. At least imps aren’t one shotting me this time

[tranquil nest]

Nekravol*

[tranquil nest]

I struggles on the first 3, especially the arena where you get the plasma rifle

I'm 100% the game on nightmare rn-

[vernal kayak]

Is that the first slayer gate?

[tranquil nest]

Normal arena

[azure oriole]

Don't worry the start is the hard part, after super gore nest it all goes down easy.

[tranquil nest]

Yea I do agree

[vernal kayak]

Do you get the ballista on SGN?

[real holly]

I have yet to pass Doom Hunter Base on UN

[azure oriole]

I'm on the final mission boys, wish me luck.

[tranquil nest]

Yk the fastest way to kill the Doom hunter? I can tell you if you want

[vernal kayak]

You got this

[boreal blaze]

I have trauma of that place

[azure oriole]

Why? There is a big skip, easy mastery farm, and is a fun level.

[real holly]

Maybe you know something I don't (pls don't say ice bomb+double blood punch)

[tranquil nest]

Well nevermind then

[real holly]

Did you beat it in a Ultra Nightmare run

[boreal blaze]

I died more then 50 times on the doom hunter boss fight in nightmare diff

[real holly]

Doom Hunter Base enjoyers ≠ playing it on UN

Up till Super Gore Nest ur a glass cannon

[vernal kayak]

I like cultist base but I couldn’t imagine doing it ultra nightmare

[real holly]

At least ur honest

[boreal blaze]

I love the level where you look for docter hayden

[real holly]

It's awesome yeah

[tranquil nest]

I was gonna say ice, super, grenade, blood, super

[strange gale]

not really, soft saving throw + flaming hook + flame belch give insane survivability even at that point

[real holly]

Problem with UN ain't even Cultist Base and Doom Hunter base it's replaying Hell on Earth and Exultia over and over again, legitimately boring

[real holly]

Did you beat the game on UN

[strange gale]

mhm

[real holly]

Also saving throw on UN isn't that frowned upon

[strange gale]

soft saving throw/brink of death is a separate game mechanic

[real holly]

Huh

[strange gale]

it has the same effect as saving throw but it's just on at all times, it's not a rune

[graceful current]

hell on earth is fine

but like holy fuck exultia is so boring on a replay

[real holly]

It's fine it's boring on the 15th replay

[real holly]

Idk what soft saving throw is

[graceful current]

i just really like hell on earth's aesthetic so i never get tired

also Hell on Earth is prolly my favourite OST in Eternal

[azure oriole]

Im stuck inside the top of the cage in the first level of the final mission should I close out of the game?

[strange gale]

if a single hit does enough damage to kill you, you're left at low hp instead

the saving throw rune is kinda worthless actually lol

[real holly]

How do you activate that

[strange gale]

it just happens passively

[real holly]

Okay honestly this has never helped me before bc you get the soft saving thrown and then hit again and bam you die

[strange gale]

if you're at 100hp and you eat a 100 damage hit, you only take 95 after soft saving throw

[azure oriole]

Nm I'm fine, no soft lock

[real holly]

Still feel like a glass cannon on UN pre Super Gore Nest

I can handle the first arena fine in Doom Hunter Base my problem is the second phase of the boss

I know the health difference from the first phase with the singular doom hunter

Some have told me it's easier than the first half but I do one slight wrong move and my health is down to -50

[tranquil nest]

My game glitched- funny one though-

[real holly]

I can survive Cultist Base but the experience is excruciating one mistake and I die

[true heath]

Yeah sounds about right

[real holly]

And my punishment is 1+ hour of Exultia and Hell on Earth

At best

[true heath]

Yep that's UN

[tranquil nest]

I put it in #videos

[vernal kayak]

Do you do the slayer gates as well

[real holly]

Said fatigue makes me make stupid mistakes and die early on

No im not stupid

[strange gale]

the cooldown is only 7.5s and you get 2 ways to generate armor out of thin air before dhb

[real holly]

I can 100% Mars Core and Super Gore Nest on Master level but god forbid I have a decent experience with Cultist Base and Doom Hunter Base

[strange gale]

being airborne also kinda just turns off the ai's predictive aim

[real holly]

My last death on Cultist Base was mid air

After that I just decided to take a break from UN

That's how I did Super Gore Nest Master level and Mars Core Master level on Ultra Nightmare

[azure oriole]

Is it just me who thinks the rewards for UN are also kinda meh

[tranquil nest]

I love glory killing a caco and accidentally punch boosting

One Thing I hate about archviles:

They exist

[nocturne lynx]

One thing Archviles hate:
Ice Bomb + 2 LoBs

[tranquil nest]

LoBs?

I ain't good with abbreviations sorry

[nocturne lynx]

Lock-on Bursts

[tranquil nest]

... fair.

[azure oriole]

Almost softlocked in soul factory

Had to close out of the game.

[nocturne lynx]

I think enjoying UN is enough, acquired a taste as that may be.

I don’t really play "Eternal" anymore (way too much stuff coming out) but I’d probably play on UN and not NM if I had the opportunity to do another playthrough.

[strange gale]

been really enjoying gtfo lately

in that game resource management actually means something, you can't blow all your ammo and take a million hits and act like nothing happened

[azure oriole]

NM?

[nocturne lynx]

Nightmare

[boreal blaze]

just beat the gladiator first time

[azure oriole]

Nice.

[boreal blaze]

yessir, it was pretty difficult

[azure oriole]

Should I go for big dick skip?

And risk the soft lock lmao

[tranquil nest]

Hell yes

pun intended

[icy wing]

Does anyone have the doom eternal collector's helmet?

I can't remember how to put the strap on lmao

I'm going to explode, I've been trying for an hour

[azure oriole]

Final boss time!!!

First my least favorite room in the game

[azure oriole]

#screenshots

[azure oriole]

Btw, I'm not sure if I beat the challenge or hit level 100 first, because I beat the challenge and hit level 100 at the same time?

So it's a draw I think.

[true heath]

Another thing archviles hate:
Fucking dying like the scum they are

[gray rivet]

Fuck yea, you're fuckin sick mfer

[azure oriole]

Now I have the multiplayer left, can someone help me with that?

[gray rivet]

Does anyone know a convenient way to disable 1up pickups?

[young mango]

No not really, either just don’t pick them up or play UN

[azure oriole]

Ultra Nightmare

[woven moth]

I never played much of the original doom, was the gladiator in the original, or another demon made solely for eternal?

[young mango]

Solely made for eternal, but it’s a popular head canon that he’s the last of the classic hellknights, which presumably his design is based off of

[woven moth]

Nice

[tranquil nest]

I forgot just about no one does online matches for Eternal anymore

I said that, then got into a match, and then 3-0 the demons

A dreadknight and a marauder

[rose sparrow]

Do I need to play on a certain difficulty or no?

[tranquil nest]

Going against my better judgement and attempting a UN run

Welp... died on the first arachnotron

[vernal kayak]

Lock in

[tranquil nest]

I'm tryna

[vernal kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/lock-in-parasyte-hold-up-gif-6616384397279042321

[tranquil nest]

I think my issue is I'm laughing so much due to I'm using one of the Commander Keen skins

Heavy cannon time. I need micro missles asap-

.

I got the micromissles. Then, I got the grenade. A SOLDIER KILLED ME MID GRENADE ANIMATION.

[gray rivet]

Fuckin rip

[tranquil nest]

Shoulda just done an animation cancel 😭

[austere bronze]

no

[azure oriole]

i think you get more xp if you complete levels on un

But I might be wrong

[austere bronze]

no clue about that, but you can't reload checkpoints there either eay

[azure oriole]

but yeah forget that if we are talking about grinding xp in the marauder fight

[fringe torrent]

Even if you get more XP it's most likely not optimal

[tranquil nest]

Getting back on the UN grind

[somber pulsar]

hey guys i have a question can i save progres after mission completion in ancient gots part one on UN?

[tranquil nest]

I can't decide a slayer skin. (I died again btw)

What I find funny is, a lot of people after getting their first slayer skin, never use the original

[azure oriole]

default skin

best skin

[inland patrol]

hi

i dont have dash and i at swimming part

[tranquil nest]

OK but the doomicorn

(If that's how it's spelt)

[twin gale]

full auto works wonders against the arachnotrons

[tranquil nest]

I prefer sticky bombs over full auto for just about everything

[twin gale]

so do i but early game the full auto mod is so useful for taking them out

[tranquil nest]

Alr

[tranquil nest]

I see what you mean.

[vernal kayak]

grenade and auto shotty

[tranquil nest]

... well then

An arachnotron snuck up behind me and stabbed me in the back

I may be on hell on earth for a while

[twin gale]

gotta make sure your always aware of your surroundings

[tranquil nest]

I'm aware

[austere bronze]

they got different utility

[azure oriole]

choose full auto if you want to beat UN easily

[twin gale]

i'd say to switch between them regularly until after cultist base because then you have the ssg and rocket launcher and those are much better to use than full auto in most cases

[azure oriole]

wrong

[twin gale]

how is it wrong

[austere bronze]

full auto is a great finisher on demons for free shells

[mild solstice]

why is there no vcs

[polar osprey]

cant be moderated, mods arent up all thetime

[mild solstice]

why dose it need to be moderated people dont care if kids dont like cussing

[true heath]

FUCK I lost my UN run to an arachnotron in HoE cuz the game didn't register my glory kill

[polar osprey]

slurs

[fringe torrent]

Cussing isn't really equivalent to slurs and death threats

[mild solstice]

but to be fair a bit of the doom fandom is kids

[austere bronze]

yeah unfortunate that people had to take vcs away from us

[fringe torrent]

This server is representing a brand, and by extension multiple corporations, having dirt on their name isn't in the moderation team's interest

[polar osprey]

remember, people are animals, and animals, can be really fucking dumb sometimes, and just like animals, we also bark alot in our own way

[young mango]

hahaha

[azure oriole]

bro I remember when a poor fellow got bullied on vc just because he was a furry

[mild solstice]

who bullied him :)
