[twilit escarp]

it will also make it easier if i can share screen shots to show u but i can't

[tame topaz]

Your Windows is weird.

[twilit escarp]

ik

[urban plinth]

Okayy

[twilit escarp]

i set doom to high performance but the game plays in slow mo now

[tame topaz]

Yeah, sorry dude I think it's just your PC acting up at this point. I know firsthand how shitty Windows can be and none of this is your fault.

[twilit escarp]

btw its a gaming laptop

[tame topaz]

I figured.

[twilit escarp]

does that info help in any way ?

[tame topaz]

You could try booting into BIOS and setting the preferred output device to your dedicated GPU but I'm not sure you wanna deal with that. It's easier than it sounds but I understand if you'd rather not bother.

Ironically laptops can be ironically harder to troubleshoot than desktops.

[twilit escarp]

i'll try that

i tried to go the Nvidia control panel and set it to force windows to use the gtx 1070

[tawny quest]

Doom eternal launcher just won't open

[visual mirage]

I think mod portal is cursed

[halcyon ravine]

why dont we make a doom girl skin for girl players?

like a pink doom slayer skin and when its without the helmet it’ll be a gurl

[twilit escarp]

theres a mod for that

[visual mirage]

Doomicorn

[halcyon ravine]

Barbie doomslayer?

Wait thats copy righted

bro i searched uo the mod bro i was jst thinking of pink doomslayer

all pink

[tropic fable]

Using integrated graphics instead of the NVIDIA GPU (along with not having free space on your drive) would explain it not working.
There are two general ways to force the NVIDIA GPU. I don't know whether you'll have to do one or the other, but there's no harm in doing both:

- Open Windows' Settings. Click "System", click "Display" on the left, and click "Graphics settings" on the bottom.
In the "Choose an app to set preference" drop-down list, choose "Desktop app".
Click "Browse", and navigate to and add -/steamapps/common/DOOMEternal/DOOMEternalx64vk.exe.
Select Doom Eternal below the "Browse" button (it will probably already be selected at this point), click "Options", and choose "High performance".

-# - Alternatively, open the NVIDIA Control Panel. Click "3D Settings" > "Adjust image settings with preview" on the left, and choose "Use the advanced 3D image settings" in the middle.
-# Click "3D Settings" > "Manage 3D settings" on the left. Switch to the "Program Settings" tab, click "Add" beside the first drop-down list, and choose Doom Eternal.
-# With Doom Eternal selected, set "Select the preferred graphics processor for this program" to "High-performance NVIDIA processor". (This option is in between the first drop-down list and the "Specify the settings for this program" list for me, but it might have been moved to somewhere in the second list for some people.) Lastly, click "Apply" at the bottom-right.

(For reference, this is something that you "should" do for any 3D games to make them work better, in case Windows picks the integrated graphics by default.)

[unique sentinel]

hi guys, I finished doom, but missing 1 sentinel battery and cant buy classic marine suit...
The campaign shows ive collected them all, anyone knows whats up?

[dim solar]

you probably missed a challenge in one of the late game missions

those also award you batteries iirc

[urban plinth]

Yup they do

Thats very weird since u have 4 leftover sentinel batteries if u get everything

[dim solar]

that's normal

[gleaming rampart]

That exists on the mod page

[dim solar]

developers put a few extra resources in the game to give you the chance to get all of your upgrades even if you missed some

[urban plinth]

Yea

Theres 9 leftover praetor suit points

[dim solar]

it's a cool thing, really

I like it that way

forcing the player to collect every single secret or be locked out of some upgrades would be a little too arbitrary

[austere bronze]

that would suck lol

[shadow cargo]

i just bought doom eternal and doom, but doom eternal won't launch on steam

idtechlauncher.exe

[dim solar]

another reason why 2016 sucks, 2016 be like: what's that? you don't wanna pick up and see all of these cool collectibles and easter eggs that we spread around every level? well... I had all of these weapon upgrade points but I think I aint gonna be giving them to you then

jesus, every time I think of 2016, I find another reason to hate on it

[real cargo]

is he fr rn, like today? bro really missed out on the 4 dollar sale last week

[urban plinth]

4 dollar??

[austere bronze]

dam

[real cargo]

yeah eternal base game was 4 dollars during autumn steam sale

[urban plinth]

Dammm wtf

Lowest it was for me was 10

I got the deluxe for 17.5

[austere bronze]

yeah the standard sale has been 75% (making it cost $10), and i haven't seen it go lower than that until now

[runic wolf]

Does anyone has some 4k wallpapers that were included in slayer's club for Doom Eternal? It seems they took it down after that time

https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/eq64l3/new_doom_eternal_wallpapers_available_for_download/

[prime wind]

doom is really cheap with the steam sales....

[rugged flax]

I got it for like 4 aswell

On ps5

It was long ago

[gleaming rampart]

There were wallpapers?

[rugged flax]

And I got 2016 for 8

[hidden mist]

try this:
https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en-US

[runic wolf]

Yeah I looked there but there are only 3 right now at the media tab. They had a lot when Eternal was the main thing, I have downloaded some in 1080p but I'm looking for the 4k ones right now

[hidden mist]

oh sorry. i didn't know. i'm new to doom games

[hidden mist]

can you please share the 1080p ones which aren't included in the website now?

[runic wolf]

Yes I could make a bundle and upload them somewhere, give me some time

[hidden mist]

thank you

[runic wolf]

Sent you a dm since I can't post it here

[runic wolf]

.

[urban plinth]

We can all agree that base combat shotgun is the best weapon out of all of them

[austere bronze]

naw the ballista gotta be the goat

quickswaps with it kinda sucks (i am a pb+ballista hater lol) but ballista boosting and dblade is just that good

[real cargo]

i just spam pb rocket combo at tyrants personally

[real holly]

Fist better

[real cargo]

without blood punch, play doom 1993 punching gif

[urban plinth]

Fires too slow

[real cargo]

its faster if you quickswitch

idk how to use pb + sticky bomb tho, kinda confused when to do the right click then left click thingy

[austere bronze]

you'll mainly use the ballista for ballista boosting and destroyer blade, plus some arbalest and a singular shot in quick swap chains

and also...
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1382839980795105406/1425901032998703166/Doomsandbox_2025.10.09_-_19.41.05.23.mp4?ex=68e94552&is=68e7f3d2&hm=7794963b17d437b686c1633acda7bb6a5db60b8a842f1a2ec8fd871f751a28c5&

[urban plinth]

Wtf is destroyer blade

[austere bronze]

one of its mods😭

[austere bronze]

you should hold right click when doing pb+sb

and then press fire right after pressing a weapon's bind

[real cargo]

ahhh i see thx ill try that tommorow

[urban plinth]

Ohhh

I forgot that was the name for it

[austere bronze]

destroyer blade is literally the second best mod in the game, only behind meathook

[urban plinth]

Lowkey it would be exciting and amazing if i could beat all the ultra nightmare and nightmare stuff without all this mumbo jumbo strats

[real cargo]

i thought punchswapping was patched out unless im doing it wrong

[austere bronze]

are you pressing the weapon's bind after punching?

and for stickies and the rocket the timing is significantly more strict, faster and you need to do a pb shot beforehand (or anything which activates FSE)

[real cargo]

must be it.. fair to assume it would be patched out since its almost impossible on controller

[austere bronze]

i thought it felt very comfortable to do on controller

even for rocket punch swaps

[real cargo]

must been confused.....

[austere bronze]

punch swaps are somewhat advanced though, so it's not like you'll learn it super quick

[austere bronze]

you can

i wouldn't even recommend learning punch swaps until you can do UN

[urban plinth]

Hold on

[austere bronze]

of course depends on what you wanna do and stuff, but it's better to just focus on fundamentals first

[urban plinth]

What about master levels

[austere bronze]

what about them

[urban plinth]

Are those easier or harder then like

Campaign on un

[austere bronze]

depends

[urban plinth]

Or tag1 and tag2 on un

[austere bronze]

they're way shorter than the entire campaign, but also much harder than the late game of the campaign

[real holly]

The Eternal learning experience is basically nonexistent unless you ask people on the internet or look at YouTube guides to get you started

[austere bronze]

the early game is however much less forgiving, so it can be a challenge for many

[urban plinth]

Thats cap

You do learn when playing.

[austere bronze]

ye

[real holly]

Yeah but how far that learning gets you at best is Ultra Violence survival

[real cargo]

plus the game do tells you about quick switching in one of the loading screen tips

[real holly]

If you want to do Nightmare and above you gonna have to go outside of Eternal,

[austere bronze]

i disagree

[real holly]

Who did UN without watching a single video, or multiple

[austere bronze]

i completed the game on nightmare without any guides or the community at all

[real holly]

The YouTuber?

[austere bronze]

i still exclusively used the weapon wheel and basically no ssg or meathook when i beat the game on nightmare lol

[real holly]

Okay my argument is stupid bc you can still play horribly and beat the game bc there's no punishment for dying a lot

[urban plinth]

Does un have extra lifes?

[real holly]

But like UN? Yeah good luck without external assistance

[austere bronze]

you can definitely get good enough for UN without any help

[real holly]

Who did that

[real cargo]

nah

[real holly]

Raise your hands

Youtubers? The creators of the guides?

[urban plinth]

Ohhhh

[real holly]

Yeah but that like a super minority

[urban plinth]

That makes sense

[austere bronze]

having people take a look at your gameplay and such will make you improve quicker, and quick swaps are good once you have a baseline, but a lot is achievable without that

[real holly]

I'm not denying the possibility, but it's such a minority that can do that

[austere bronze]

and also, much of the advice online is either way too general to be applicable, or pretty bad

[real holly]

That is true yes

[real holly]

Most people have to watch YouTube to reach UN levels

[austere bronze]

of course you'd see almost no one who has done that because first, far from everyone has beaten UN, and then most of those who interact with the doom community has well... interacted with the doom community, which excludes them

[urban plinth]

Theres no way for me to record my gameplay

[real cargo]

steam does have a recording function

[urban plinth]

Unless i use my phones bad camera somehow

[austere bronze]

if you're watching vids which just say exactly what you should do, that isn't really skill, it's just memorization

[real holly]

I would have never beaten UN with the info the game gives me

[urban plinth]

I use nintendo switch

[real cargo]

ohhh

[urban plinth]

Switxh 2 to be exact

[austere bronze]

and i'm talking about reaching the skill needed to comfortably beating UN without just memorising stuff

[real holly]

Well, there's listening to what they say and applying it

[austere bronze]

and that skill level is very reachable without help

[real cargo]

doom eternal switch 2 with mouse mode when? (never)

[real holly]

I didn't really memorize shit for UN outside of some parts for cultist base with a self made strategy

Like I came up with my own strategies

[urban plinth]

That would be awful

[real holly]

But idk if we are talking randomizer, then that's a different skill which can't be cheated with memorization

[urban plinth]

I love nintendo innovativity but the mouse mode aint it

[real holly]

I personally enjoy randomizer bc memorization isn't the way to go

[real cargo]

definitely looks too slim to hold

and probably can topple over

[urban plinth]

Yup

Controller is the way to go

I also gotta turn aim assist on again

[real cargo]

theres gyro but then again its probably not as polished as fortnite's gyro

[urban plinth]

My pro controller also has a busted left stick that decides to act up randomly

Sometimes i cant move forward for like 5 seconds and am forced to dash

[visual mirage]

Db is cheating

[austere bronze]

@real holly would you say this skill level is reachable without external help?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GoO5NoPgA0

[urban plinth]

This is the first time ive seen gameplay that looks great+realistic

All gameplays i see is switching weapons every 0.008 cluptoseconds and moving around with perfect timing

[austere bronze]

lol yea

that's almost my normal gameplay but without quick swaps or movement strats

[urban plinth]

I knew it

[austere bronze]

so basically just game sense, and solid restacking+routing

[urban plinth]

I will never reach the heights of a doom eternal pro

[austere bronze]

why not?

[real holly]

Yeah

What mod is this btw

[urban plinth]

Idk

I just be saying stuff🥸 ✌️

[real holly]

https://youtu.be/RNcPKBCkg34?si=iHRntI8K2Jvi7Laj https://youtu.be/WeYKggQhYsA?si=mQiwX3o82QkO0NZj I think these two showcase my skill the best maybe

I haven't watched them in a sec though

[urban plinth]

What ate powerups again

Those glowing circle things

[real cargo]

the yellow and purple skulls/orbs something

one speed you up, other probably increase damage idk

[urban plinth]

So thats what the horde mode milestone means

Okay thats easier to do

[visual mirage]

Why do you torture yourself like that?

[real holly]

Something cool I noticed is that I make multiple "mistakes" in this video, like I have the triple chainsaw ready for the mancubus but I miss, yet I still manage with a cacodemon and mancubus attacking me at once despite my trump card disappearing

Being ready for those "not according to plan" moments feels good

Adapting to each situation

[austere bronze]

okay, that skill level displayed is easily enough to beat UN first try

since that arena is from the modded level tormented earth (unbalanced version), which is the hardest modded level out there

[real holly]

That fair but like, it would take A WHILE to reach that level by yourself, why could the game help me do it faster?

Like genuinely some short YouTuber tips have saved me so much trouble, why can't the game tell me these things the YouTubers do

Or people on discord tell me

[austere bronze]

that's not the point though, i already agreed taking tips would speed things up

[visual mirage]

Take tips from the best

[real holly]

Okay sure you can reach the UN game by yourself, but id appreciate it if th game told me more stuff

[austere bronze]

i gotta record a clip i'm really happy with some day

[austere bronze]

like what? it already tells you about quick swaps

[real holly]

And made the learning process faster

Movement, particular enemy behavior, like the game refuses to inform you that the Doomhunter you see for the first time has double the health of the remaining two ones

Tell me which combos or stuff work best with each enemy

Tell me the ice bomb and lock on combo obliterates the Archville

Don't tell me immediately

[austere bronze]

there are no combos which work best, and multiple more things obliterate archviles

[real holly]

Just have the information available in the game

[austere bronze]

telling people exactly how to kill certain enemies would just feed even further into the people saying eternal isn't creative or restrictive too

[real holly]

Well then tell me more combos than just "quickswap"

[austere bronze]

(it's very creative and not restrictive!)

[real holly]

Okay I worded myself wrong, give me options

Give multiple different routes to take

But tell me, bc there's multiple ways to deal with a Mancubus in early game for example, but giving me some sort of direction on more than one way to deal with them would be cool

[austere bronze]

i think it should be up to the player to actually apply what the game teaches you and think creatively

[real holly]

How was I supposed to know the Doom Hunter boss had that much more health than the other Doom Hunters the game threw at me?

[visual mirage]

Cuz he's a boss

[austere bronze]

why is that even relevant?

[real holly]

Marauder

[real cargo]

the big boss

[austere bronze]

very few even know about it

and most who do only know because they heard the stats

[visual mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/snake-metal-gear-solid-invisible-gif-8534994063110042325

[real cargo]

Didnt see any difference between boss marauder and enemy marauder tbh

[austere bronze]

there isn't any

the marauder in arc is arguably easier cause his ai is for some reason really weird there

[real holly]

It helps make the player understand they won't have to work the same like they did for the first boss, makes it more digestible, especially for UN

Idk man maybe it's just me but I had to look at a lot of out of the game content to get as good as I am rn

[austere bronze]

oh yeah absolutely same here

[real holly]

Some of us are not that creative or willing to circle through many different disconnected possible ways to kill demons until finding what works for us in each specific arena

[austere bronze]

and i would have quit a long time ato if it wasn't for unintentional things

exploits or glitches or whatever you wanna call it makes eternal a wayy better game

[real holly]

My biggest issue with Eternal is still the Marauder shield activating due to enemy projectiles though 👍

[real cargo]

that damn dog

[austere bronze]

far from my biggest issue personally, but definitely an issue

[real holly]

This one little thing ruins the enemy I previously loved honest to god

[visual mirage]

I love the marauder

[real holly]

What's your biggest issue? That its too easy?

[urban plinth]

Marauder isnt that bad for me now❤️‍🩹

[austere bronze]

tag2 is my biggest issue

[real holly]

Marauder is amazing as long as there's no stupid projectiles, I literally have to make him follow me like a dog sometimes so I can get him away from those stupid projectiles

[real holly]

I was asking more about base game

[visual mirage]

DOOM Eternal is a better game with his inclusion

[visual mirage]

That there's few hell on earth themed levels

[urban plinth]

Stop complaining about tag2

[real holly]

Why

[urban plinth]

Ur making me dread continuing it

[austere bronze]

hard to pinpoint a particular thing, but i much dislike how aircamping is so much better than playing grounded

[visual mirage]

Tag 2 aint that bad

[urban plinth]

So far its better then 1 sooooo

[real holly]

Just because M1 and I don't like it doesn't mean you should too

[urban plinth]

Escelation encounters + hammer

[real holly]

That's fair

[visual mirage]

Tag 2 on release did feel empty
There was literally a wave of only imps on the first arena of world spear

[urban plinth]

Im a npc i gotta follow everyone

[austere bronze]

are you gonna follow me to thousands of hours in eternal🥺

[visual mirage]

No

[urban plinth]

Hell no

I got other games to play lol

[real holly]

I haven't reached 1k but I did beat UN so there's that

[real holly]

What no?

Actually how many hours do I have in Eternal

306

And by hour 260 ish I think I beat UN

[austere bronze]

whatt😭

ohh

[real holly]

Whoops

I technically have the game 100%ed but since online is dead I'm never getting those milestones and rewards

[austere bronze]

watching back at my gameplay from around that mark feels weird, i could quick swap decently and such, but my game sense and core fundamentals were soo bad xD

[visual mirage]

The best thing about buying the collectors edition is that I was stuck on the bethesda launcher version before it shut down so I dont know how many hours I have on the game really

[austere bronze]

cringey is secretly a doom eternal pro with 2,8k hours

[real holly]

I still struggle in the non Arc Complex/Cultist base master levels on Nightmare, even if I did beat every one but World Spear on UN, it was moreso survival and memorization, not actual cool Slayer power fantasy shit

[visual mirage]

It might be less tbh

[austere bronze]

makes sense

[real holly]

The illusion of being "good" at Doom Eternal

[visual mirage]

If you beat UN you can consider yourself good at Eternal

Doesnt matter if it was because you memorized every encounter

[real holly]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-slayer-walter-white-fall-gif-21082245

I didn't beat UN bc I memorized every encounter, that much I can say

[azure cairn]

yo, anyone know how to fix the performance issues in doom eternal? I start the game at 200 fps but after a few mins of combat, it goes down to 10-20 fps

[austere bronze]

too real

[visual mirage]

Nvidia gpu?

[azure cairn]

AMD gpu and cpu

[visual mirage]

Then idk

[real holly]

One day Hugo will reveal Hurt me Plenty is the canon difficulty and nobody shall ever touch anything above it again I swear

[visual mirage]

Uv is the canon difficulty

[austere bronze]

funnily enough, it's named normal in the game files

[kind basin]

No I believe Hugo said once that they balance the game best on Nightmare

[austere bronze]

but custom difficulties are still best

[kind basin]

But choice is more important

Like your choice

[visual mirage]

I dont believe him

[austere bronze]

in the game files HMP is named normal
UV damage is at 100%
and hugo says they balance it around nightmare

3 conflicting accounts lmao

[azure cairn]

So, is there no way of making the game actually playable on an AMD gpu?

[visual mirage]

Think he meant nightmare was more balanced here than on 2016

[real holly]

Wait there's a difference between game difficulty and canon difficulty, like how weak/strong the Slayer actually is

[real holly]

That's true™ it is more balanced

[kind basin]

It was on a under the mayo interview

[real holly]

Weird to think he'd die to a zombie that fast like he does in Nightmare

[visual mirage]

Fodder type demons dealing more than 60 damage

[kind basin]

He said they usually play the game most on nightmare and they balance the experience around that best

But I could be wrong

[real holly]

If we abide by the glazer powerscalers, I'm too young to die or Hurt me Plenty is the canon difficulty

[visual mirage]

Aside from the fodder if this video is correct every heavy demon deals almost the same amount of damage in 2016 and Eternal
https://youtu.be/NyYq72szdT4?si=A3ac892uPqrhWWAZ

[kind basin]

Well no it's ultra nightmare

[real holly]

But honestly Ultra Violence makes more sense if you actually understand the Slayer isn't invincible

[kind basin]

Or would it be nightmare since he can just respawn from Hell

Hmmmmmm

[real holly]

My point is

Would canon Slayer really be as weak as he is in Nightmare?

[kind basin]

Yes

[real holly]

Wait I never did understand the whole "Slayer can respawn in hell" thing

[kind basin]

He's not as strong as you think he is

[real holly]

Oh no I'm not a glazer

I know his limits

It's just the game tries to trick you into thinking he's stronger than he really is, when in reality it's moreso he's a super dangerous glass cannon

[kind basin]

Yup

[austere bronze]

my slayer dies like every minute

i think that's cannon

[real holly]

My Slayer uses the Patriot skin

I think that's canon

The demons cower In fear due to such unbrindled patriotism

Too much freedom

[austere bronze]

same, it's cannon for sure

patriot or default is what i use

[real holly]

The demons see the Slayer with the gold skin and go

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-god-wow-snap-damn-amazing-gif-12917328

"damn he got fat stacks"

Okay new problem I forgot to say until now that I have with Doom going from 2016-Dark Ages, the sorry excuse for a story and lore misrepresents the Slayers strenght

He can dish out insane punishment, true, but he can't take that much of it

The games just kind of try to lie on this and it's really weird

[kind basin]

No you can see that in dark ages

[real holly]

If they just told me the Slayer was vulnerable but incredibly dangerous at the same time I would believe you

[kind basin]

He gets regularly beaten up

[real holly]

Oh word? I'm only up to Seige Part 2

[kind basin]

Oh wait

[visual mirage]

he's a mary sue

[kind basin]

I can't spoil

You'll see

[real holly]

He's In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. He chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace. And with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. And those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... The Doom Slayer.

[kind basin]

Sir this is a wendy's

[real holly]

I'll quote the testaments to the police as they arrest me

[visual mirage]

Damn I remember back in 2016 when people said the slayer was the betrayer

[kind basin]

Lol

The good ol markiplier days

Where he didn't know the entire time he was playing eternal that he already met the betrayer

Hilarious

[real holly]

"who's the betrayer"

gaming

[austere bronze]

gaming

[azure cairn]

so no one actually knows how to fix the performance issues?

[astral hamlet]

You’re gonna have to be more specific lol
Eternal is an incredibly buggy game

[real cargo]

My game stutters quite a bit, most of part of it is from my aging HDD

[visual mirage]

Ever since mod portal left the beta branch I've been having perfomance issues
Normally I get like 90-120 fps in the beginning section of world spear but now its common that I get 50-30 fps for whatever reason
The thing is sometimes it fixes by itself
Its almost a 50/50

[real cargo]

oh dang really I thought jts just my pc

[visual mirage]

And I've read somewhere that it might be a memory leak issue

[real cargo]

Yeah my game mostly goes to normal after like I wait in the level for a bit

[robust nacelle]

thats not what that term means

[visual mirage]

Proof?

[robust nacelle]

just because a character is super strong and godlike doesn't equal a mary sue

[visual mirage]

Boring ah character 🥱

[light silo]

Hello Slayer Comrades time to slash some demons

[robust nacelle]

I'll take that braindead reasoning over misused terms since you obviously don't know what you're talking about

[visual mirage]

Kratos wins 🥱

[graceful quartz]

Are you people debating

[robust nacelle]

I wasn't

[gentle geyser]

thats prob ur hard drive as u said

i'd move it to a ssd if u have one

[untold shoal]

serious sam 4 launch trailer compared to doom eternal launch trailer

[drifting gust]

Hello there fellow slayers. Yes let's slash and stub or whatever the saying goes.

[drifting gust]

HDD and a lacklustre CPU are usually the culprits.

Also cap your frame rate to maybe 5-10 below your monitor refresh rate.

[real holly]

Successful ragebait

-Nonsensical argument
-Short form sentences
-This emoji 🥱
-Confidently misunderstanding something (in this case the Slayer and the Mary sue term)

I rate 8/10, good ragebait

If it had unnecessary hostility and not just passive agressiveness i would rate it 9/10

[drifting gust]

What happened

[real holly]

Some person being weird about Doom Slayer

[storm eagle]

he's kind of a mary sue in eternal i cant lie

[tame topaz]

I miss classic Doomguy at times.

Much more relatable and believable than an ancient hellwalker blessed by angels or whatever.

Hell was much more intimidating then too.

[eternal mantle]

Remember brothers
Thots are temporary
But DOOM
is Eternal

[real cargo]

did you all figure out how to fix doom eternal obs problem, my video has lot of stutters and screen tearing

[nimble marten]

i mean
he's the same guy

slaying demons for eons in hell changes a person a bit i think

[elder raft]

they're the same guy. also, i feel like it's even less believable for this regular guy to be tearing up demonic hordes with guns. zombies maybe but barons? icon of sin? yeah nah

[rugged flax]

Should I start playing de again

It’s been like 2 months now

[elder raft]

if you want

[elder raft]

it's been like 5 months for me

[rugged flax]

Damn

But like I want to play other games than gow, siege and cr

And I like de

[storm eagle]

you changed your name!

[tame topaz]

The stuff he fights isn't important, him being an everyday dude too angry to die is the remarkable part.

It's less interesting when he's this blessed hypercapable deity.

[elder raft]

That's what makes it more interesting i'd say since then you have to come up with ways to actually give him a threat. You have to find something he'll struggle with since without it, it'd be boring

[rugged flax]

Yeah cause funni

[real holly]

the divinity machine thing feels really pointless, just an excuse for the dummy powerscalers to misinterpret the Slayers strenght more

the only thing ill buy the divinity machine doing is enhancing the Slayers skills, NOT his resistance to damage

because again, the Slayer isnt a tank, hes a glass cannon

[rugged flax]

Blah blah blah let them have fun

[real cargo]

they definitely could have more information regarding tech like quick swap and punch swap but in an advanced slayer codex menu

but then again it could also scare people off idk

[real holly]

oh i agree with like

an advanced slayer codex menu, have it separate to not scare people off

[elder raft]

The Khan Maykr literally calls him immortal. He is definitely more hyped up than he actually is, but the divinity machine did way more than just increase his skills

[real holly]

could have increased his survivavility though def

like he isnt indestructible but he can survive in enviroments like hell without much trouble, unlike a normal human

[elder raft]

I liked this line from tda.
"We should kill him"
"We'll need something more permanent"

Also this one from eternal
"And who are you, a human, once a mortal, to defy our traditions!"

He can be killed, but not only is it ridiculously hard to pull off, it also won't mean the end of him since he'll come back

[paper oak]

anyone wanna play battlemode 2.0 ?

this guy gets it

[graceful current]

I preferred when the games would go You Vs the Demons and then eventually be the Demons Vs You when you have your full arsenal

[lethal ibex]

I always love how by default the button to interact with stuff is the same as the melee.

The slayer canonically punches a button before pressing it.

[rugged flax]

Uuuh yesj

[rancid aurora]

Is it only me or doom 2016 just feels and looks better than eternal?

[rugged flax]

Uuuh

[rancid aurora]

It kinda does now that i just opened it

[austere bronze]

i prefer the more diverse environments of eternal personally

[real cargo]

doom 2016 has more gritty and hellish atmosphere unlike eternal which focuses on capturing doom's 1993 style

[austere bronze]

what do you mean by "feel better" btw?

[gleaming rampart]

Ehh it’s more like they have different vibes and atmospheres. Neither are better or worse, just different and your enjoyment in either depends on your preferences

Personally I think 2016s look is more enjoyable for me but eternal has the better feel and gameplay.

[woeful depot]

…I think Doom 2016 HAR is superior to Eternal Heavy Cannon

[austere bronze]

in what way?

[rancid aurora]

[woeful depot]

In almost every way except for micro missiles

[real cargo]

tbf i mostly use the heavy cannon as like a sniper

and not a spray gun

[rancid aurora]

Why the hell did eternal give me 780 notifications and pop-ups first time i opened it, i'm playing doom not overwatch damn

[real cargo]

boi you never seen the dlc and item popups in fallout new vegas's new game start

[woeful depot]

The 2016 HAR looks better, sounds better, feels more satisfying to fire, the scope is also superior due to having full auto while sniping and having much better effects with Devastator Rounds, the shots may not sound different but when they hit it looks like fireworks

[rancid aurora]

I indeed haven't

[woeful depot]

The micro missiles on the Heavy Cannon are a vastly more streamlined version of the 2016 version, but that is the only thing the HC has over the HAR

[austere bronze]

yea that is its main function in eternal

or not to snipe in its true sense, but using pb for combos

[rancid aurora]

why did my doom boy lose his fear factor and his mystery

[woeful depot]

The HAR looks thicker, fuller, and more powerful

[austere bronze]

being the most powerful he's ever been by far is fearful i'd say

[gleaming rampart]

I disagree solely because of the precision bolt mod in eternal. Genuinely one of the best mod attachments in the game

[woeful depot]

The scope mod in 2016 retained full auto combined with the same damage booster

[rancid aurora]

i just opened a battlemode game and got violated

[austere bronze]

it's kinda weird how you've only been in here twice, and both times you've only talked about how you prefered 2016's heavy cannon

[gleaming rampart]

But in eternal the PB is fast, is great at destroying weak points, pairs well in combos with every weapon, and feels way better than it did in 2016

[austere bronze]

and you brought up the same exact points all those months ago too

[woeful depot]

I wasn’t here months ago

I joined the server last night

[austere bronze]

oh shoo, wait i gotta have you mixed up or something😭

[austere bronze]

you'll either face a complete beginner, or a 5 year old bm player in there lol

and complete beginner means like having playef one mission

[rancid aurora]

no ranking system i see

[woeful depot]

Lately I’ve been trying to rack up all the Milestones, I’ve been teetering around anything involving Ultra Nightmare because I know it’s gonna be pain

[rugged flax]

[gleaming rampart]

Battle mode is kinda poor in the match making department, ngl

[rugged flax]

Yes

[woeful depot]

I learned that one the hard way

[rancid aurora]

Is it my luck or does this game have the same epic kill animation everytime?

[austere bronze]

just be like me, never hop on battlemode🥱

[woeful depot]

But Battlemode rewards players with Immoran and Hellforged

[rugged flax]

It’s based on where you are looking

[woeful depot]

And the only Dread Knight skins in the game

[austere bronze]

which animation plays depends on if it's a glory kill, chainsaw, or crucible, and then which animation from those 3 categories depends from where you kill the enemy

[real cargo]

mostly depends on which body part of a demon you look at

[austere bronze]

you can only use dread knight skins in battlemode though lol

[woeful depot]

But they do look nice on the main menu

[austere bronze]

i suppose

[woeful depot]

I don’t run Battlemode very often because it’s really hard to keep my internet connection stable, which makes it painful if the match starts to stutter

Which is why what SHOULD have been an hour of effort turned into an entire day of suffering to get the Onyx Knight

[austere bronze]

if you're on pc you could always use a skin unlocker

[woeful depot]

Mods and the like are hard for me to figure out

[austere bronze]

it's really simple for eternsl

[woeful depot]

I used to do Minecraft mods a lot but for the life of me I plum forgot how to do that

[austere bronze]

https://youtu.be/c1fEFwZ1_4s?si=wmKX1_N3zMUr-_cj

and oh yeah, nowadays you don't even need to opt into the mod beta

you can just go browse mods by default when you go into the game

but i don't think there's a skin unlocker on the official mod portal (?)

[real cargo]

i now see why when i try one of unlocker in the portal, nothing happens in the game. no doubt they patch this kind of stuff cause of course they'll miss out on skin profits

[austere bronze]

mod unlockers don't unlock skins you need to pay for

[rancid aurora]

Well one thing i see is that this game lags unlike doom 2016

[austere bronze]

performance is pretty close in both games and they're made 4 years apart

[rancid aurora]

Not for me sadly, my device is ass

[austere bronze]

a 6 year old graphic card can run the game on like 80 fps though
https://youtu.be/Axr1yAK7cqk?si=C6auln60mXfPm2uq

on ultra settings

[rancid aurora]

and why do i lag

Maybe internet

[austere bronze]

if you're playing online, it's most likely that yeah

[real holly]

Same

I love the variety of Eternal, it allows for multiple great locations

Sorry but I'm never giving up amazing looking places like Argent D'nur, Nekravol, Urdak and Hell on Earth in favour of repetitive looking, kinda generic Martian facilities/Hell

It's not that I don't like how 2016 looks, it's just that I prefer Eternal way more in that regard

But I will give 2016 this, the repetitiveness could be taken as consistency, makes the whole adventure feel more compact in a way, kind of like Black Mesa. Not ending in portals all the time does make everything feel more compact

[visual mirage]

Unlike mid ages

[real holly]

Instead of being hung on a bungee cord across the universe and leaving each location basically at will with the portals, your going from point A to B

[woeful depot]

To be fair, 2016 did have some cool things, the immersion was incredible, the props physics, both of these things were removed in Eternal, but they were kinda brought back in Dark Ages

[fringe torrent]

I never felt that 2016 was repetitive with its locations because you are traveling through a facility after all. It made going to Hell cinematic and epic because you had to actually journey there

But for Eternal I also don't really mind how sudden it is because that game's diverse locations are really pretty and it'd be kind of hard to travel all throughout on foot

[real holly]

I think 2016 has its own location appeal

Eternal and 2016 go for different things when it comes to locations, and both are cool, I just prefer Eternal

[rancid aurora]

I feel like eternal is too cartoony

It needs time to grow on me

[ebon elbow]

I love eternal's cartoony feel

[real holly]

It definitely takes itself less seriously

[woeful depot]

It grew on me pretty well, but playing all 3 modern Doom games made me appreciate all 3 with what features they did have

[real holly]

I like how both games handle it, my problem when it comes to lack of seriousness is in the story

[ebon elbow]

kinda reminds me of tf2

[rancid aurora]

It went from silent cool guy with a shotgun with no shown face, to "yeah btw that guy has a shotgun, he can help us"

[real holly]

While it is cartoony I do totally believe the Slayer would do what he does to the demons in Eternal everywhere else

[rancid aurora]

[woeful depot]

Eternal makes me wish we could use the Dark Ages Makyr ship as a hub like the Fortress of Doom

[candid dawn]

That might be happening in the dark ages dlc

[woeful depot]

We’re actually getting DLC?

[candid dawn]

Yes

[woeful depot]

Noice

[candid dawn]

It probably won't come until spring though

[rancid aurora]

I would get dark ages but i think it costs a tiny bit much

[candid dawn]

It was just on sale not too long ago

[rancid aurora]

Yeah but still 50 euros

[real holly]

One of my problems with the feel of Eternal compared to 2016 is that, while it looks like an apocalypse, it doesn't feel like it at times. Mostly due to the fact that there are so many visible survivors, especially humans which to add insult to injury are just kind of there for funny™. The only exception would be that girl that describes the Slayer in Arc Complex and the humans in the intro cutscene. In Sentinel Prime/Argent'dnur in general it does feel more apocalyptic than Earth at times due to the seriousness of the Sentinels and their minimal numbers

[rancid aurora]

Isn't the point of an apocalypse that just happened, to see it happen?

[real holly]

Yeah exactly, why are all the humans I see just funny and not acting like it's an apocalypse

[nova cairn]

hi

[woeful depot]

I did have a nitpick with Ancient Gods Part 2, I feel that the ARC should’ve joined the Sentinels in the Battle of Hell, it would’ve been more moving imo for Earth to have finally fought back in earnest for a change

[rancid aurora]

Hi

[real holly]

There are minimal exceptions sure, but the majority of the humans are just not taking this seriously, (I love you Intern but I'm sorry)

The simple solutions are
-Less humans
-Less funny humans (which while entertaining at first kind of feel disingenuous)

I'm kind of mixed at the attempts at humor in Eternal, like they work but they make me laugh when i believe the game should take itself more seriously, like the previous games

[ebon elbow]

I want to see the silliness taken to the next level. I wanna see cacodemons in party hats in a conga line

[fringe torrent]

Please never do that, id

[real holly]

2016 reserves the comedy for Samuel and Slayer and that works, but Eternal has it all over the place

It's not that it should be all edgy and serious, but define boundaries for your feels, comedy? Only within the confines of Samuel and his angry rebellious child The Slayer for example

This way when a joke happens I don't feel tone dissonance

[ebon elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt4V_H_FUZ0

[real holly]

Yeah but like, TF2 is inherently goofy, there's comedy around every corner of that game, down to its very artstyle

In Doom you have realistic corpses of innocent people everywhere

And completely destroyed cities

And a overarching theme of perpetual torment

[austere bronze]

eternal's art direction makes a lot of sense if you consider the type of gameplay it was designed for

as for story and stuff? i have no comment on that

[ebon elbow]

all this reminds me I gotta play serious sam again

[visual mirage]

Serious sam games give me motion sickness

[rancid aurora]

I tried opening it on geforce now to not lag but battlefield 6 killed that app

[ebon elbow]

if executed well, I think there's a way to make it work. like south park-style comedy

where at some point you're just laughing at the absurdity of it all and wanna see it get more unhinged for meme's sake

[urban plinth]

Uac facility nightmare was too hard

Doing ultra violence instead

[visual mirage]

I love KTD Charlie!
I love KTD!!!!

Even if I get softlocked sometimes because of the stupid active ai limit

[real holly]

South Park thrives on absurdity

Doom thrives on not that

[fringe torrent]

DOOM is a relatively serious franchise, I would hate for it to go in this direction

[visual mirage]

Nah bruh doom was always cartoony just look at og doom artstyle 🤪

[nova cairn]

doom always had silly stuff in it

[astral hamlet]

Doom had silly stuff in it, sure
Doesn’t mean that it’s an unserious franchise

[real holly]

^^

[visual mirage]

^-^

[austere bronze]

^_^

[fringe torrent]

Like what, in the first two games?

[azure cairn]

have you found any fix regarding the issue? The same thing is happening to me too and it is driving me crazy

[urban plinth]

The toys

[fringe torrent]

There's no toys in DOOM I or DOOM II

[urban plinth]

Hmmm

[gleaming rampart]

I mean, the series was always very silly. The first two games barely had much of a story and the tone was more like an over the top action movie. The series only shifted to a more serious and gloomy tone in doom 64 and doom 3 as well as the modern games, though each still had pretty silly moments

[fringe torrent]

Action is very silly? I don't know about that. Also the first game was literally a survival mission where you walk by corpses constantly, just look at PSX DOOM, the only thing keeping it "over the top action" is sound design and even then it's not always metal music, a deliberate choice by Bobby Prince to highlight the atmosphere

[storm eagle]

It's not that serious dude.

[real cargo]

plus even john carmack said story in a game is like story in a P*** movie so i dont think even he took doom that seriously at the time

[urban plinth]

Huh??

Lol thats funny

[fringe torrent]

I wasn't trying to make it serious

[storm eagle]

You're debating with everyone and saying it's serious, so yeah you kinda were.

[fringe torrent]

One person, and by serious I was talking about the original games not being silly

What I see is just a discussion that is not different to any other one at all

[storm eagle]

I said debating not arguing. Chill

[fringe torrent]

What's wrong with debating

[storm eagle]

Nothing. I just said it's not that serious. Drop it

[fringe torrent]

Okay I guess

[storm eagle]

@urban plinth How's Eternal going since a few days ago when we were chatting in here?

[urban plinth]

Honestly i havent done much

I beat sgn master level again

Tried a bit of tag1 on nightmare

[storm eagle]

Awesome. Have you done the other ML's?

[urban plinth]

Nope

Its probably gonna be one of the last things i do to 100% the game

[storm eagle]

How did TAG1 on Nightmare go?

[urban plinth]

Bad

[storm eagle]

😭

[urban plinth]

I switched to ultra violence

[storm eagle]

Yeah TAG1 is harder for sure on Nightmare than the main campaign. Nothing wrong with UV then try Nightmare again later

I really like TAG1, more than 2

[urban plinth]

I think im gonna be playing a bit less now

I got dlc for a game that im gonna be going through

And a new game is realesing in 6 days

[storm eagle]

Fair, let us know when you get back to Eternal. You can post in General chat about other games too if you feel like it

[urban plinth]

Ill still be playing

But the levels being so long needing me to not play any other game for like 2 days is a turn down

[storm eagle]

Oh, less* gotcha haha

yeah

[urban plinth]

I play a bit of like 5 games everyday

Then having to play only 1

[storm eagle]

I'm going in between about 3 rn myself

May play some Eternal mods today

[visual mirage]

Then bro proceeded to make Doom 3

[storm eagle]

Cringey we should play co-op sometime next week

[real holly]

The argument as a whole is silly, it's up to the customer what he wants, some of us want more serious, some of us want more silly, it's normal. Who cares what the original Doom game tones were, new games change tones and stuff it's normal

The argument "the original x was like x" never works bc shit changes

[storm eagle]

Many things can exist at once

[fringe torrent]

I never really said I think anyone is wrong for disagreeing, wanting more silly is fine, I just do not want more of that and when faced with "it was always silly" I said why I disagreed. There was no argument guys, all civil

[real holly]

^

[fringe torrent]

I agree, I think the slightly silly vibe works for the new games, I just personally would not like to see it be surrealism comedy like suggested earlier. I really like the current tone (at least up until TDA, haven't played it yet) and I think it's been the best out of the ones we've had so far

[storm eagle]

I think TDA has a good feel too, not corny and not too depressing either

comedy would be crazy

[fringe torrent]

Still yet to play the game but I got a few parts spoiled and it sounds really great with the tone

[kind basin]

Ye it needed more of that

The one's that hit do hit tho

The two of them

[fringe torrent]

I hope it's not even remotely close to the horrible 'humor' of DOOM Annihilation

[storm eagle]

my favorite will always be the DLC "No". comment

in eternal

[kind basin]

No it has like one or two scenes and the last one you see is hilarious

The first one is blink and you miss it

[fringe torrent]

Visual gag?

[kind basin]

Ye

Both visual

The last one is just soooo doom

[storm eagle]

@kind basin look in #merch-showcase . idk how to describe the exact green

[fringe torrent]

Well I've got high hopes then

We'll see when I play the game like two years from now lol

[kind basin]

I'm not sure what I'm looking at my ipad's getting all glitchy

[kind basin]

Ye take your time

[storm eagle]

someone asking what shade of green the TDA slayer's helmet is

[kind basin]

Ohhh

[void delta]

Dark green- duh lol

For Dark Ages

[kind basin]

I've seen some helmets with a swamp green

[storm eagle]

yeah it's like...a combo green

of a few

[visual mirage]

Doom 3?

[storm eagle]

I waa thinking No Rest for the Living or smthn

[urban plinth]

With sword and might, rip and tear

World spear had a pleasent theme to it and so far im loving the 2nd missiob

[austere bronze]

oh nice

[steel schooner]

Hey guys

I get this error on doometernal

That says video memory failed to allocate

[urban plinth]

Just lost 2 extra lives in quick succession

What am i doing bro its not even that hard

[storm eagle]

which level you on now?

[urban plinth]

The 2nd mission

Tag 2

Wowow this level was great

Whilst tag 1 had that awful forest level and uac facility was boofy

[visual mirage]

Sure
I kinda prefer NRFTL over Doom 2 overall

[storm eagle]

lol you like the Blood Swamps? It's a good one

[urban plinth]

No i dont like blood swamps

Its terrible

[rancid aurora]

Nevermind, i said i didn't like this game, but it is a godamn masterpiece

Just needed to get used to it

[woeful depot]

I’m preparing to start up Nightmare Horde Mode, and I’m aiming to win

I only ever got through the first mission

I’m close to capping off my Can’t Perfect Perfection milestone

[dim solar]

you got this

[gleaming rampart]

Holy shit how have gotten this bad at the game after a couple days break from it. I keep fucking dying on final sin and I keep getting dogpilled on by hundreds of demons while trying to move around

[austere bronze]

i usually feel like i come back better after a break

but it could also depend on what kinda headspace you're in

[gentle geyser]

the first run after a break is always rough
but then the runs after that are always my best

[steel schooner]

Guys i can't open doom eternal

I get the vram error when I've seen people on yt play with my same specs

[storm eagle]

try lowering your settings

[steel schooner]

How??? I can't even open the game

It crashes before the Bethesda screen even open up

[storm eagle]

ohh I see

you could try uninstalling and reinstalling

[astral hamlet]

If your vram specs are lower than minimum requirements, then you probably just can’t run the game
It’s more likely that said YouTuber wasn’t being honest about their specs than doom eternal refusing to run on hardware that is better than minimum requirements

[low bronze]

wheres the doom lore person? I've got a question

[storm eagle]

@azure oriole

[low bronze]

thank you sir

[storm eagle]

Np, you can type your question and they'll see it when they come back

[low bronze]

Alright. I've heard that the marauders came from dead sentinels being put into the divinity machine. Is that true?

also can i post a screenshot from my blender real quick question

[woeful depot]

I WON ARCADE SLAYER ON XBOX LETS GOOO

https://tenor.com/view/holy-laughter-doom-laugh-zoom-gif-17636231

[zealous hound]

guys, i was just like raw dogged by like 30 demons, and in my panic i forgot my melee key

its e if you want to know. it was right there

[storm eagle]

lol. You might be able to in the general chat

[low bronze]

Ya sure. I don't wanna get sniped

[storm eagle]

I recall people posting pics of their tattoos and birds and stuff so you're fine

[low bronze]

Ok

I can't post pic

[storm eagle]

I think I did before of a smoothie I had by sending it in a message and then using the copy media link or sum

Before I was mod

[low bronze]

Huh

I'm just gonna descirbe it. I had the sentinel and marauder next to each other. Lord have mercy that guy got TALL

[storm eagle]

Oh yeah you can post it

like I mean if you sent it in a dm to a friend then right click on it there and hit the copy media link then drop it in the channel

[low bronze]

thats what i did lol

should i just drop it in #screenshots

[storm eagle]

yeah sure

go ahead

[dim solar]

@austere bronze you were asking me the other day why even take cover in eternal, right?

well, click this link and find out why https://www.youtube.com/live/R5Hchy6kKO8?si=MVV3nDVTPzeprzt2&t=10384

[azure oriole]

IIRC, yes, the Khan created the Marauders as seen in Eternal using the Divinity Machine.

Despite the game using the term for them, Marauders are not demons. They are reanimated Sentinels that were brought back with Maykr tech. No part of them is demonic.

[azure oriole]

Keep in mind that Marauders existed long before she did this. The Marauders were Loyalist Night Sentinels who served the Khan during the Argenta Civil War. Then they were revived before Eternal.

[low bronze]

So they're not considered demons?

[woeful depot]

interesting

[azure oriole]

They are perhaps "demons" in the sense that they are serving under Hell's army. You could argue there is a correlation between those terms. (i.e. Blood Maykrs are demons; Former Humans are demons; despite not biologically being from Hell.)

But in the sense of an entity that comes from Hell or has been touched by Hell in some way, no. Marauders are not demonic.

And them serving Hell's army is only because the Khan Maykr has commanded them to.

[violet bison]

just finished both parts of the ancient gods in 5 days what were they thinking?

the amount of demons are insane

[dim solar]

wait until you see the master levels

master levels is like 3x times more demons than DLC

speaking about MLs, gonna try some of those right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4SJMWNCCVo

[twin gale]

some master level arenas can be 10-20 straight minutes of combat

[violet bison]

im not even going to attempt it lol

im done with eternal for a LONG time

[twin gale]

you say that now but soon you'll get a craving for doom eternal

like an addiction man

[low bronze]

That's actually really damn cool. This is ready gonna help with my lore writing

[dark hawk]

I need to start trying that. I want the achievement.

[real holly]

This is true

The only thing that tempered my addiction was beating UN

[ebon elbow]

same, my mission to beat un got me obsessed for a couple weeks straight. after beating final sin my playtime dropped drastically.

[ebon elbow]

yeah the first time going through master levels are a real slog.

but you learn a lot by playing them. trial by fire

[woeful depot]

This is gonna be agony...I can barely get through one Arena, let alone all 3 of the Horde Holt!

[ebon elbow]

that's still a huge improvement from where you were a few days ago. you're learning quite fast

[worthy slate]

I guess Marauders are only allies with the demons then, I take it?

[real holly]

The way I see it

They are the Sentinels that served the Khan Makyr and died in the process and get continuously revived to serve the Makyrs

(revived in the demon sense ofc)

[low bronze]

That's gotta suck. Imagine that first Marauder we fought is still showing up in each time we fight Marauders.

[azure oriole]

Yes. They're effectively enforcers of the Khan. Who, it seems, has taken command of Hell's armies during Eternal.

[real holly]

It's possible

[low bronze]

"This is the 20th time!! Just die already!! STOP COMING BACK"-Slayer
"NUH UH"-Marauder

[steel schooner]

But I've seen people run the game on literally 8 gb ram intel hd 5200 specs

And my laptop should be atleast be able to handle it, as i've seen people play this game with 60 fps on my same specs on yt

Hey guys, so basically my laptop keeps crashing doom eternal with this error of failed to allocate memory

[storm eagle]

ngl DE doesn't run well on any laptop

[tawny quest]

Whenever I click play to open Doom Eternal on Steam it just won't open. (I use Windows 11 latest version)

[steel schooner]

Hmm yeah but I've seen ppl on yt play it on hd 520 graphics and 8gb ram

Im sure my laptop should be able to handle it

I'd play it on my PC but I havent bought a GPU yet

Since I am saving up for a 5070

[dim solar]

YES!

Managed to beat all master levels on UN in a row

[austere bronze]

nice!

[dim solar]

that was my first time clearing the "master campaign" on UN

funnily enough, after months of not playing the game

looks like I got better after playing dark ages?

or maybe I just got lucky

still, I'm happy I got it done

[austere bronze]

get a pc and do cbt atlantica on un

then you will join the gamer club

[dim solar]

true, I'm still just a console gaymer, instead of a pc gamer

[austere bronze]

why are pc players downgraded😢

[storm eagle]

lol shut up

[storm eagle]

DE on console is hard

[austere bronze]

lol

that classification also excludes me from the club😭

[storm eagle]

look what I tagged you in in the screenshots

funni pic

[storm eagle]

we're all bad

Also I'm not sure what's going on with everyone's Eternal not loading lately. Maybe ask in #eternal-modding and #tech-talk , they may be able to help more in depth

[graceful current]

[storm eagle]

lol what

[urban plinth]

Thanks bub

[urban plinth]

True...

Give this man a true award

[real cargo]

true, even on pc when sometimes i use controller for eternal, the default controls are just too restrictive for me and this is my custom made control scheme

i dont understand how regular eternal controller users manage to quick swap without hurting their hands like that

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/894919922650583080/1426467029271187506/eternalcustomcontrol.png?ex=68eb5472&is=68ea02f2&hm=831e660e083cd2896541ab793bbc3b75122e9c140e5821e1f5d8393993a3059a&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1525&height=858

[urban plinth]

L1 for jump is crazyyy

[real cargo]

im too used to bumper jumper in call of duty games

[urban plinth]

Wtf is alt fire

[real cargo]

the mods button yk when you use sticky bomb or meathook,

[urban plinth]

Ohh

So modifier is switching the mod

Got it

[real cargo]

nah switch mods is right arrow dpad

the modifier its like

O Button = Super Shotgun

O + R1 (Modifier) = Combat Shotgun

[urban plinth]

Huh

Yea i dont get it

[real cargo]

[urban plinth]

I gotta get a new pro controller if i really wanna get gud

Since my current pro is a bit funky and my joycons despite being newer have delicate and bad feeling joysticks

[real cargo]

F, i hope switch 2 doesnt have crazy joycon drift, my switch 1 joycons still drift today

[urban plinth]

And the sw2 is really hard to repair

The time hasnt come for anyones sw2 to be repaired but its already been tested

[real cargo]

nintendo now copying apple in antirepair practices

crazy

[urban plinth]

My left stick has had like 4 scratches for 3 months

Ever since i got it

And i think i went 2 months without a screen protector and carrying case

Anyways

The doom is eternal, am i right

[austere bronze]

i blame that on tech

[urban plinth]

Wdymm

[austere bronze]

weapon and movement tech makes me unable to let go of eternal

[urban plinth]

Ohhhh

Yea the movement is great

[compact gazelle]

i gave up on unbalanced tormented earth, i have less painful things to do. Like stick my balls in boiling iron. @austere bronze gonna being playing the balanced one again though 😄

[austere bronze]

lmfaoo😭

that's extremely fair though

unbalanced tormented earth is literally the hardest level ever created for eternal

balanced isn't particularly easy either...

[torn copper]

Well when it comes to doing headshot kills, I often use ballista on drones and blood.

[quasi mica]

Doom Eternal stutters a bit every time a usb device is connected and disconnected, I have an external HDD plugged in (game is on internal SSD) and everytime the external HDD lights come on the game stutters a couple of seconds prior

Any fixes?

[gleaming rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-v1-cutesy-cute-kicking-feet-gif-12063381200046641980

[lucid patio]

It doesnt stutter when I do that

[dim solar]

wew that is a crazy setup, fam

I'll send mine in a bit

but yeah, I 1000% agree with you that the eternal's default controller layout is really bad

you have to mess with it until you can find something that works decently for your playstyle

[rugged flax]

I only have heavy cannon and balista

[urban plinth]

How cannn i get image perms?

[stray gulch]

hi

[urban plinth]

Hiii

[rugged flax]

No can do

[stray gulch]

idk bro

[urban plinth]

Well how can other folk post images

[rugged flax]

You have to use embeds in this channel

[rugged flax]

Skill issue

[austere bronze]

post image/video elsewhere->copy media link (not message link)->paste here

orr become a mod

whichever seems easier

[rugged flax]

Embeds are the good way

[urban plinth]

This is my peaky peak layout

[rugged flax]

Switch!!??!??

[urban plinth]

Yes

[rugged flax]

Oh god no

[urban plinth]

I hope its gets a switch 2 edition

But at the same time no

My switch 2 already heats up alot with it, imagine at more resolution and fps

[rugged flax]

Damn

[urban plinth]

I use the default layout except i have l3 set to super shotgun

Which i never use

[rugged flax]

Zamn make better layout

[urban plinth]

Nah im used to it

I like it like dis

[rugged flax]

[visual mirage]

Right trigger to mission information

[urban plinth]

Right trigger?

[dim solar]

so I replayed world spear ML yesterday

and I still dont understand why people think it's a bad level

it was as crisp as I remembered it

[austere bronze]

wish you could play mods mann😭 then you wouldn't need to play tws ml for content...

[astral hamlet]

Can’t you play mods on console?

[dim solar]

I blame id software for abandoning us console gaymers after only releasing 4 official mls

[astral hamlet]

Isn’t the mod portal available on console tho

[dim solar]

Nay

[dim solar]

not as far as I'm aware

mod support is only available for PC

[astral hamlet]

Ouch

[dim solar]

Yeh...

[visual mirage]

Mod support for console will come out tomorrow

Trust

[rugged flax]

Wait really

Oh wait

[visual mirage]

Yes

[rugged flax]

Brudda said trust it’s joever

[visual mirage]

Hugo Martin the creator of DOOM Eternal told me yesterday

[rugged flax]

Noo bro this is what I used to manipulate people back in the day

It’s not reeeeaaaal

[dim solar]

my body still craves for more DE but there's only so much enjoyment you can get out of replaying the same 4 MLs over and over

[rugged flax]

Yeah

Give the damn mods to ps5

[dim solar]

if I keep replaying those, I get burned out fast

I guess I can do tag 1 & 2 but honestly, after playing MLs, DLC missions dont hit the same either

[rugged flax]

Yeah

[austere bronze]

yea respect to all rhe console players with insane hour counts

even though i love the game's combat... i don't like it that much

[rugged flax]

Wait I did not regocicbcifie (I will not spell that corectly) you at first

[austere bronze]

xD

[rugged flax]

You got a new pfp and I always look at that first😭

[austere bronze]

i have been drawing and writing about van gogh, so i was in a sunflower mood lol

[rugged flax]

Aah

Makes sense

[visual mirage]

You guys will be able to play the finest ml created by the community like:
Doom Hunter Fortress by TIIKKETMASTER
CBT Atlantica Facility by idk929
Reclaimed Earth Master Level by Rainlight
Bob-omb Battlefield 1.0 by MicrowavedBunny
Tormented Earth by MicrowavedBunny
Challenger Series #01 by iW1CKED
The Blood Swamps Master Level by Saleem
And how can we forget Unreclaimed Earth by idk929

[austere bronze]

3 of those are actually good tho

just hard

[rugged flax]

This is a Se Hyvä moment truly

[rugged flax]

Oh

[dim solar]

does CBT in this context mean what I think it means?

[rugged flax]

Uuuh

[austere bronze]

ya

[dim solar]

that's a nice name then

does it live up to it tho?

[visual mirage]

Nah

[rugged flax]

Aaah damn

[austere bronze]

at the time of release (about 2 years after release) it was the hardest map out there

it's still one of the hardest, but not the hardest

[rugged flax]

Good to know

[austere bronze]

here's murican playing it shortly after release if that's interesting
https://www.youtube.com/live/9xK62XiNNa8?si=dnXZTV2aFDPXINcS&t=589

[real holly]

Hmmm, too easy, missing three buff stacked Marauders and Archvilles

Add in some Cursed Prowlers too

Oh yeah and ofc restrict yourself only to the base shotgun

[austere bronze]

yes that's why harder maps later came out

[astral hamlet]

Eternal combat without the meathook:

https://tenor.com/view/h2di-cat-dead-cat-depressed-cat-laying-gif-11402833644907079653

[astral hamlet]

real

[real holly]

M1 makes a good reocurring point which is the advantage of aerial combat being overwhelming at times

like its just way safer to be in the air

[astral hamlet]

aircamping is busted in eternal yeah

[real holly]

thats why smaller, cramped rooms with no high roof are more stressfull to many

[astral hamlet]

when I first learned meathook jumping I was just like
"this is the meta, huh"

[real holly]

but then you renember the destroyer blade exists and yeah

In part I wish the game in the latter half forced you into less tall areas so you couldnt just aircamp

[void delta]

Tf is the destroyer blade?

[astral hamlet]

[real holly]

[astral hamlet]

a weapon mod for the ballista dawg

[real holly]

whats a weapon mod

[void delta]

Ohhhhh, mb

WhAtS a BalLiStA?

[real holly]

Wait theres guns other than the shotgun?

[void delta]

Wait- theres a shotgun??

[austere bronze]

giving me flashbacks to one very specific arena i never beat...

i really gotta try it again though, it's very fun in some parts

i totally understand how aircamping came to be so dominant, because for how the game initially was "supposed" to be played or whatever, it made sense to develop it in such a way

but then it became possible to stay in the air for over a minute straight without too much issue in many places, and grounded combat can become much more complex than aerial can

likr even nowadays, punishing being in the air would be bad for like 95% of players, and then for the rest 5% it makes sense

[visual mirage]

Air control nerfs demon ai

My favorite combo is Doom 64 Marine and Mullet Slayer podium

[dim solar]

[swift yarrow]

[quasi mica]

Helpful 👍

[quasi mica]

Anyone else notice this? Didn't happen before the quakecon update this year

[visual mirage]

I saw a blaster soldier survive a pb shot

Its joever

[bleak musk]

anyone here have playstation and doom eternal? looking to boost online trophy's... for battlemode

[gusty ocean]

How to send pictures

[urban plinth]

Guys

Im starting to not play de as much

Am i cooked

[austere bronze]

naw

[torn tundra]

Ye

[nova cairn]

nope

the experience is very memorable that you end up remembering qs comboes and enemy weak points by up to like 2-3 months

[austere bronze]

yea, and playing less when you don't feel as motivated or are busy is probably better either way

[lucid patio]

Did you get the secret?

[urban plinth]

Not like i knew any combos to begin with lol

But yes the fundamentals and mechanics i will remember

[simple valve]

What if you wanted to go to heaven

But god said

That one arena with 2 Marauders and 1 Baron and 20 Screechers in Immora

[austere bronze]

what if you wanted to have a life but god gave doom eternal tech

[cloud lava]

hey guys, is there any way to preserve my downloaded mods if I delete Doom eternal and want to reinstall it without losing them?

[visual mirage]

Mods are saved on a different folder

So you wont lose them if you uninstall Eternal

[cloud lava]

great thanks for letting me know

[gusty ocean]

the blue ball yes

supercharge

although i lost 50 armor right after

also i've already beat the game before i just forgot how to progress there

[nova cairn]

so true lmao

[austere bronze]

tech enjoyerr, lesgoo!

[real holly]

How it feels to rewatch my recorded Nightmare No Low Health without power ups run of Ark Complex and realize I spammed the Chaingun shield so much it doesn't look as cool as it could

https://tenor.com/view/mr-incredible-the-incredibles-computer-timer-disney-pixar-gif-20722538

If I ever play Eternal these days I refuse to use power ups, the chaingun shield, superweapons or lock on burst

[visual mirage]

DOOM Eternal brainrot

[austere bronze]

dudee, almost anytime i record gameplay, i feel like it was so cool, then i watch it back and go "ehhhh"

[real holly]

Is there a way to remove the low health indicator and low ammo indicator? The sound already tells me the low ammo and the low health I don't like looking at it

[austere bronze]

and if i don't (like i didn't today, yay) then i will feel like it's bad in 4 days max

[real holly]

Same

[austere bronze]

via mods, yess!

[real holly]

I only have like 3 Eternal videos I think look sorta consistently good for my skill standards

The best ones are easily Cultist base and Doom Hunter base bc theres really no sugercoating those ones, no cheesing allowed

[austere bronze]

i'll use lock-on burst, but i main remote det

both because it's the most fun, but also because i feel like that's optimal

[real holly]

I'm starting to get into that whenever I play Eternal

[real holly]

I like the falter, but it's weird to get used to adding into combined since I've only now started using it

[austere bronze]

makes sense

unlike lock-on, remote det requires skill and has a high skill roof

[real holly]

Isn't it just applying it in combos?
