doom-eternal

[neon shard]

Really happy with the pacing, and the encounters have all been fun so far

I’m also really admiring the OST. I love how the Beast of the Arena theme got expanded on here, almost gave me chills from hearing it

[quaint zinc]

its an issue with doom games when u alt tab. i havent been able to fix it but which menu are u using?

i might be able to help if its wemod

it happens in doom 2016 aswell

and when u alt tab in doom eternal it happens aswell

if ur using wemod press alt w to open the menu and if ur using something u gotta alt tab for idk. sorry

wemod is also really good for cheats btw, alt w opens a menu and doesnt freeze ur game, just make sure not to use it in online, apparently alt w also works in the other games

[quaint zinc]

and it gives cheats for every owned steam game u own

just be careful and dont open it in online games

because u CAN get banned

its also free and doesnt have a time limit anymore

[austere bronze]

i'd guess it's because certain sequences of guns allow you to swap quicker and with less cooldown before you can swap away

like pb+rocket makes the rocket swap much faster than if you did ballista+rocket

some weapons also have a fast bring-up speed, and some a slow, and some weapons have a "wind-down" after firing which temporarily prevents you from swapping, while others do not

[gusty ocean]

iont remember it happening in doom 2016

but it doesn't in doom tda strangely enough

[quaint zinc]

it def does in 2016

but yea it doesnt in tda, for some reason

[hot sequoia]

Holaaaa

[hollow sequoia]

Hey

[exotic goblet]

Hello guys. I need a 100% Doom Eternal save file, can someone send me?

[storm eagle]

Just play the game yourself.

[proven granite]

Yes and also I don’t think that’s how save files work

[fringe torrent]

It is

[dusk basalt]

hey. I started doom eternal yesterday. first time gaming properly in about 20 years lol. streaming from xcloud to my new odin 2 portal. what a game! im shite at it but loving it! im at the cultist base now. any overall tips?

[astral hamlet]

never stop moving, try not to get tunnel vision, and use your equipment just about as frequently as you can

[storm eagle]

People still shouldn't be asking others in here to do that though

[astral hamlet]

especially the ice bomb, I feel like a lot of people use it way too infrequently

(myself included)

[warped sage]

Don't force yourself at harder difficulties.

[dusk basalt]

I find im spamming a lot in battle! im on the easiest t level lol

[astral hamlet]

a lot of weapons will come off cooldown while they're not being used

[warped sage]

I rarely use the Ice Bomb except at Carcasses and Whiplashes sometimes (usually I'd just lock-on the latter)

[astral hamlet]

for example, you can precision bolt something, then switch to the shotgun and pop 3 sticky bombs, and then once you switch back to the heavy cannon precision bolt will have come off cooldown by then

[proven granite]

Get really familiar with the demons. Once you’re at the level when you know every single type by name, you should be good.

[dusk basalt]

very good advice actually

[dusk basalt]

some i find very harrd to kill

[austere bronze]

which ones?

[storm eagle]

Memorization vs. executing a skill are two very different things

[dusk basalt]

Hell Knight breaks my balls every time!

[simple osprey]

Then break theirs.

[dusk basalt]

noted

[simple osprey]

Rip them, right off the STEM.

[dusk basalt]

with my teeth?

[simple osprey]

No, your bare hands.

[dusk basalt]

I shall my dear Pablo

[simple osprey]

Good job, son.

[dusk basalt]

Dad, is that u?

[austere bronze]

where in the game are you?

[dusk basalt]

cultist base

[austere bronze]

sticky bomb headshots deal very good damage, and when you get the rocket launcher (and lock-on burst), you'll be able to kill them with a single lock-on burst

i'd recommend to focus on falters though (and tapping them with the microwave beam if they get too close) and never ever overcommitting, as you definitely die from that in the early game

and that goes for all encounters, not just with hell knights

[sullen rune]

[dusk basalt]

thanks man for the great advice. I cantvfathom how people can beat this game on the harder levels

[austere bronze]

comes down to a lot of practice

[fair tangle]

The Doom Man

[oak storm]

the doom guy

[neon shard]

[chrome rampart]

John Doom

[opaque moss]

is there an easy way to get the super shotgun flaming hook matery mod?

[astral hamlet]

quickest way is to meathook onto a fodder demon in a group of them and kill a few of them with a single ssg shot

but it's also quite easy to get anyways

a point blank ssg shot will kill prowlers and carcasses, so meathooking onto them is an ammo-efficient way of getting the mastery done also

[tropic jewel]

What the hell is with that double marauder hallway circle on taras nabad ML?!?!? Was doing good til that crap happened like damn

[sturdy crypt]

I'm currently crying because of the Nightmare Horde mode. I was almost at the end, but those two arch vill... They... They...

[tropic jewel]

I don't touch horde mode for some reason lol but that hallway is the reason Hugo deserves a nut kick lol

[sturdy crypt]

My heart aches... I've been trying for a year and I was almost at the end. Why? 😭

[tropic jewel]

I feel that I've been trying Mars core and taras nabad for weeks myself, didn't realize that nabad hallway was a thing until.......

[sturdy crypt]

Who created this demon? Who is the twisted developer who thought it would be a good idea to put two of them?

[tropic jewel]

Archvilles go back to the original games

[sturdy crypt]

Doom 2 i know and i hate them

[tropic jewel]

I rather deal with 2 if those than 2 marauders that are constantly surrounded by prowlers

I mean bfg after stunning them works but I didn't have the ammo left after that sewer arena

[sturdy crypt]

2 marauders It's easy on your own, but it's different with the prowlers.

The worst is the possessed marauder!

[tropic jewel]

Yeah that's why saving bfg ammo is the key for that fight I'd say, it's been done without it but I don't think I could pull it off otherwise without so much trial and error especially when I'm trying to complete that level on extra lives mode!

[sturdy crypt]

I also lost an extra life due to a texture bug; I went through the wall and it killed me...

[tropic jewel]

Damn that screenshot I am sorry for ya dude and yeah that's very shitty
I hate getting staggered myself

[sturdy crypt]

I fell into a depression because of the Ultra Nightmare campaign

I reached the icon of sin, but this MF is too strong for me.

[scenic axle]

There’s 2 arenas that are harder than that one

Prepare yourself for pain

[sturdy crypt]

The first two missions are easy, but the last one is simply horrible.

[scenic axle]

in what?

[sturdy crypt]

Horde in nightmare

[scenic axle]

The last one is easy if you skip the bonus rounds, but the bonus ones are tough

[sturdy crypt]

For me, the last level of the last mission is the only one that I don't pass easily.Once I arrived with 27 extra life I'm still dead

[gusty ocean]

i still love how you can burn frozen demons

[scenic axle]

Oh wow

[molten viper]

Question for ultra nightmare players. Does it not let you save your game? I exited the game via menu after hitting exit and save after deafening hell on earth. Got the crystal and flame belch then exit with save to the menu. The save file just disappeared. I reopened the game and its still gone

[swift cobalt]

https://youtu.be/JdCfCDhH_OE?si=y7xytM-pOlPfXNza

I did it , just in time too

[scenic axle]

You should be able to leave through the button at the end of a level, but otherwise you can’t

[molten viper]

So you're saying If I want to stop playing the game for the night and turn off and play something else. Its not gonna work?

[scenic axle]

No, I’m saying that when you complete a level, there will be two buttons. One to go to the next level, and one to save and quit. You cannot leave at any other time

[real holly]

https://youtu.be/6BAPP7pyWHo?si=a8ypk8ExNA4HZEDz

honestly I think i need to try a new save file just to properly re-experience this level bc while i think it's A+, Im starting to ponder if it's S tier and my early game bias is getting the best of me

like, the boss is amazing, second best in the game, the big first arena is really well designed and the rest of the level is just the most awesome "infiltrate the base" shit ever

[rigid cedar]

How long did it take yall to actually get good at this game

[real holly]

months

[austere bronze]

depends on how you define good

the definition varies vastly between players

[rigid cedar]

Uhh

I think clearing master levels on ultra violence pretty comfortably

Is how I'd define pretty good

[real holly]

I'd define good as "ultra nightmare survivor"

[austere bronze]

then i don't remember at all how long it took me to get to that level😭

[real holly]

that sets a certain bar for the player

it can be beaten in many ways, hell even cheating, but it forces the player to learn some very important things if done without rule breaking

by mastering Cultist Base and Doom Hunter Base you basically learn alot about basic fundamental Slayer movement and enemy movement/strategy

[rigid cedar]

I guess I'll define mine as decent then

Which would mean I suck💔

[real holly]

hey

nobody sucks, we play the game

don't let ego destroy you

let the demons do that, then you'll actually learn something

[rigid cedar]

Don't worry I like sucking

It does help me get better

[real holly]

i think one guy put it best, all difficulties are training you for nightmare/ultra nightmare

[rigid cedar]

What doesn't is playing master levels on a Nintendo switch

Man the damn thing crashed at the very end of super gorenest master level

[swift cobalt]

You are asking me? :v

[rigid cedar]

Sure😭

I wanna see how you guys progress through the game

Or maybe the other aspects of the game yall enjoyed

[austere bronze]

like being able to beat UN after multiple tries, or comfortably clearing it?

[swift cobalt]

I just play the gamr

And learn

Dying is part of the process so don't be afraid of it

Every death is a lesson on how you can do better

[fringe torrent]

Until you die because the meathook stopped working or you blood punched when you wanted to glory kills

[swift cobalt]

Yeah, that happen on and off

I just chaingun shield when ever it happen really

And one thing about Doom Eternal mindset that i have developed

Is that don't i treat it like a shooter

But a action game, with guns :v

This weapon do this

That weapon do that

So how can use both of them?

Something like that

[opaque moss]

Help in screenshots...!!

Nvm i found it

[real holly]

comfortably clearing it

[twilit lintel]

Hello

[swift cobalt]

Welcome

[dusk basalt]

unreal gameplay man. im just a beginner. can't fathom this lol

[austere bronze]

nice gameplay indeed

[dusk basalt]

im delighted I got past cultist this afternoon

[drowsy wedge]

you should watch the good PC players it'll really break your brain

[dusk basalt]

how are these people so good lol

[drowsy wedge]

lotso practice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIC3vRwuqok

[wispy sleet]

I hated that level

[twilit lintel]

Wtf is that i completed game in easy mode with struggle 🎮🥲

[sharp cypress]

Hi

[dusk basalt]

that clip is insane. how thr fuck can they 1. think that fast and 2. execute

[dusk basalt]

im on easy mode. its still so hard!

[drowsy wedge]

thousands of hours of practice do that to ya

its just so satisfying to watch

[austere bronze]

i mean i started there too and have improvef immensely, it just comes down to wanting to get better and playing a lot

[gusty ocean]

even i with less than 100 hours have improved a lot

just nightmare is making me resource manage much more

[fringe torrent]

"Einstein had poor grades" ahh

[dusk basalt]

its taken my around 7 hours to get past cultist

[storm eagle]

Sylar is extremely goated

[real holly]

also it comes down to like, what players like

[austere bronze]

true

meant to reply to LM😭

[real holly]

there's a certain fun zone for everyone

when it comes to difficulty

[austere bronze]

yeah i mean it's not every player's goal to strictly get better

[real holly]

true

my goals have been pretty much reached rn, anything beyond what I do now is just uninteresting to me lowk

im not fond of Doom Eternal torture arenas unless I've done them enough to the point where they aren't torture

like, I used to HATE the Holt, but now its like in my top 3 Doom Eternal levels lol

cause i managed to consistently turn those arenas that used to torture me into manageable fun arenas

[grave robin]

Does anyone know the height of the icon of sin? I really need to know...

[hollow sequoia]

couldn’t find anything on google?

I doubt anyone has that on speed dial

[real holly]

tried the old beth nekravol master levels

honestly really boring, not a single marauder, at least they threw some archville here and there

also the tyrant spam like holy shit it gets boring to kill that guy

[astral hamlet]

a product of their time I guess (feels weird to be saying that about such a recent game)

everyone hated marauders back then (I don't know why it became fashionable to glaze them; they're fucking stupid) and tyrants didn't appear very often in the main campaign, so having a bunch of them was new

[real holly]

the marauder is a mixed bag

it shouldnt be ultra glazed or ultra hated

[astral hamlet]

I don't overly hate them, I just think they're dumb

[real holly]

it has bugs and problems, but its also sometimes just a difficult enemy

when talking about the marauder, especially back then there was next to no nuance, you either hated them or you loved to them to death and thought anyone who disagreed was a noob

[astral hamlet]

I don't bother learning the one-cycle strats so they're essentially just a time waster and an annoyance

[real holly]

dayum i enjoy fighting them

i dont know one cycle strats either i just enjoy the fights against them

i dont think the marauder should be glazed to death nor critiqued to death, its a controversial enemy by default that should be treated accordingly and not as this end all be all

[astral hamlet]

yeah I don't really
the act of trying to stand still for as long as possible in the middle of combat to bait them into actually engaging is a fun killer

[real holly]

you dont need to do that

at all, i never stand stilll when fighting them

i keep moving and they chase me down

i hate talking about the marauder bc its always this thin line of ''skill issue''

[astral hamlet]

well, often times you do
because their pathfinding isn't the best, plus they essentially reset their attack sequencing every time they get hit with a single enemy projectile
and they summon the dog and start punishing you for mistakes you didn't make, my favorite part

thank you hugo for that brilliant design decision

[real holly]

yes the shield bs is totally not the players fault, but other times i think the marauder is just a high skill check

you have a right to hate something your not good at, because the process of engaging in said learning isnt engaging and/or the end result of learning isnt entertaining

[astral hamlet]

sometimes they can be fun
but usually modders (and the official maps themselves) purposefully put them alongside annoying ass projectile spamming enemies to purposefully ragebait you

the classic mecha zombie/prowler/maykr drone + marauder combo is such a pain

[real holly]

the worst part of any Doom Eternal discussion is when you reach that point where you can go ''but you can do x that you werent doing before to have a better time'' which is a way nicer way of saying ''skill issue''

[real holly]

isnt this a Slayer gate/Master level thing

also that Slayer gate can only be acessed through like replaying or something cause i only ever encountered it when replaying Mars Core I think?

[real holly]

these days I can handle those bs arenas with projectile spam and marauders but ask past me and he will stab you in the heart for saying their fun

[astral hamlet]

it happens a bunch
mars core slayer gate
taras nabad first marauder encounter
taras nabad secret marauder encounter
taras nabad marauder encounter next to the crucible
taras nabad ML ring around the rosie encounter
etc

[real holly]

okay how are you getting the Marauder near the slow ass mecha zombies in taras nabad first arena

have you considered moving away from them to help yourself a bit

[astral hamlet]

well it's not a problem there, because that encounter isn't particularly hard lol

[real holly]

well then why are you bringing it up

[astral hamlet]

all I'm saying is that the id guys knew exactly what they were doing

[real holly]

yeah thats absolute bs

[astral hamlet]

but the ML encounter with the respawning prowlers and the double marauders can go to hell tbh

[real holly]

its a master level, its full of annoying bs not even I enjoy

[astral hamlet]

funnily enough I actually enjoyed the rest of it

[real holly]

omg

[astral hamlet]

but that was a bridge too far

even the coin room with the hidden buff totem was pretty fun

[real holly]

mfw Im trying to find common ground at its revealed we have entirely different tastes

[astral hamlet]

lol

it do be like that

[hollow sequoia]

Tyrants make me want to fall asleep tho I do have a love hate relationship with the marauder mostly due to. How weird his spacing is

[blissful oracle]

Can someone tell me what mission you get the crucible blade

[tepid light]

Taras Nabad

[blissful oracle]

@tepid light thanks

[tropic jewel]

I was doing that level last night and then ran into that encounter and just slowly lost it to those assholes like I honestly think whoever came up with that deserves a nut blood punch bc the parts before that are enjoyable but that took me out and pissed me off

Like I think taras nabad is considered one of the hardest ML's and that's one reason why I think even Mars core is pretty easier than that level but still that level is fun just that damn roundabout with the two marauders and prowlers can go to die fr

But my next time going through that and I would say to all as well SAVE BFG AMMO to stun and use on one of them and then you could most likely get the other normally and that should get it for everyone for a solid strat

[scenic axle]

Dw you still got the double archville room

More pain to come

[tropic jewel]

I feel like I can handle that better than two marauders tbh

[scenic axle]

Do you know what the rooms like?

[tropic jewel]

I've seen footage of it

[scenic axle]

It’s much worse

Cause it’s not just two in a small room

[scenic axle]

Harder than it looks

[austere bronze]

for the double marauders you also have a soulshpere lying around

[austere bronze]

they're peak

the archviles and buff totem actually get to do something there

[mild otter]

Hi

[twilit lintel]

Doom Eternal was a blast, but Doom 2016? That was a whole different level of scary! Had to uninstall after an hour

Gameplay

[grave robin]

Is Doom: The Dark Ages worth buying? I just finished Eternal, and I am bored.

[drowsy wedge]

[grave robin]

I just beat doom eternal for the first time!

[austere bronze]

ggs! what'd you think?

[grave robin]

same

w game

[hasty stirrup]

Top ten advices

[grave robin]

takes a long time

[hasty stirrup]

That’s the slow and steady wins the race type of mindset 😭

[grave robin]

[fringe torrent]

A Series S is pretty cheap when used, and TDA looks and runs great on it

[west lagoon]

It was so good!

[bitter ocean]

hii

[rare flame]

[warped iris]

is this the right place to ask for bug

[fringe torrent]

If it's an Eternal bug then I imagine yeah

[last sun]

the best day of your life will be once you get doom eternal

its worth the wait 100%

[grave robin]

I alr have it

Finished it in like 4 5 days

[bitter ocean]

4-5 DAYS?!?!?!

excuse meee?? thats impressiv! what difficulty did u play on

[fringe torrent]

I'm a bit critical of this game now but I will forever remember how happy I was to finally get to play it. The dopamine hit of seeing the main menu was tremendous

[little patio]

It is

But god of war is good aswel tbh

[native reef]

In one u r a god killing other gods
In other u r an ever more badass god that also in the end inserts a sick looking energy sword into a big iPhone's brain

[nova cairn]

ye true its awesome asf

[nova cairn]

sixteen? bro i got doom eternal when i was 13

[twilit lintel]

😭

[twilit lintel]

I got when I was 19

Now i am 20

😢

I remember from age 12 to 17 i played god hand on ps2

[little patio]

Yeah I like both

[warped iris]

oh

i'm facing this issue where the final mission final sin won't load properly. when i got in the game, textures are low res and guns become invisible. when i die, pressing load checkpoint instantly freezes the game and pressing quit will make the game loading forever

it's honestly so frustrating because i've been wanting to play this game for years

[pine sorrel]

Since the battle mode server requires phone verification so I cant access it, anybody here able to tell me how active battle mode is? Im not very interested in doom eternals campaign, just battle mode, and am just looking to see if it would be worth it to buy the game on sale for battle mode.

[regal pagoda]

Nerf arch viles🙏

[drowsy wedge]

i nerf them with an ice bomb and double lob

[storm eagle]

I'm gonna be real with you, Battlemode is mainly dead

By mainly I mean quite a lot

[regal pagoda]

[pine sorrel]

I can deal with only a small amount of people. Im bouncing between like 6 discord servers about niche pvp games hunting for activity. By mainly dead do you mean "matchs will take an hour to find and most people on the discord arent active" or "there isnt a main audience so its just a small group"

[storm eagle]

Both but specifically the first. If you don't mind waiting go for it

[drowsy wedge]

you basically have to organize matches with ppl in here

theres so few people

[storm eagle]

dude. let me answer lol

[pine sorrel]

I dont want to be sitting for an hour, but if its actually dead and im gonna have a hard time even finding active people on discord to face... i dont want to buy a game that I dont want the single player but tbe multiplayers dead...

[storm eagle]

There's people but it's sparse

[pine sorrel]

While a bit esoteric of a question, enough people that Il be able to ask for a match and get a response without waiting hours?

[storm eagle]

I can't give you a statistic. I see people asking in here but once, maybe twice at most a day.

[pine sorrel]

@storm eagle oh, and is there a site I can look at to look into battle modes mechanics? The official wiki page was... kinda barren
Edit : and I clearly dont own the game to look at

[storm eagle]

I would go on YouTube tbh. My partner is the old battle mode champion and says the servers have long been dead. You can YouTube though, there's lots of videos showing how it works

[pine sorrel]

Aw, I was hoping I could just read about it. Thanks for answering my questions!

[storm eagle]

Slay or be Slayed – A closer look at DOOM Eternal’s BATTLEMODE https://share.google/dfkuUPTf0IwlrR2WV

Of course, I hope that helps!

[cinder iris]

Guys I only finished this game on I'm Too Young To Die

Out of curiosity fired up Final Sin on a completed save file on Nightmare

I used 5 Extra Lives for the first encounter alone

Am I ready for Ultra Nightmare?

[real holly]

anyone here tried the Sentinel Axe mod that replaces the Hammer? Im curious as to how it works

https://youtu.be/9fADJQoWHKk?si=_-i6y-Ea1D0fckJt ohh dude i gotta try this later today it looks so sick yet simple at the same time

[scenic axle]

You got this light work

[austere bronze]

i mean, ultra nightmare is nightmare but if you die once it's over, and there are no extra lives

[austere bronze]

i have

[real holly]

did u like it (The Sentinel Axe)

[swift cobalt]

Um, no :v

[austere bronze]

yes

[hidden mulch]

will there be any Diablo thing added in Doom?

[astral hamlet]

doubt it

[nova cairn]

yeah.....

[grave robin]

They should make a Doom X Hatsune Miku collab.

[severe cobalt]

My menu isn't working to mini map when I press tab

[astral hamlet]

I'd recommend just binding it to a different key

because the tab button acts up in eternal when you alt tab

there's a way to fix it after each alt tab (I forget how) but it's just easier to bind the map to M or something

[austere bronze]

pressing alt fixes it

[quaint zinc]

does anyone know how i can get the icon of sin podium?

its so damn cool

[fringe torrent]

Get points in the horde mode

[quaint zinc]

oh i see

i havent really touched horde mode besides to get the golden bounty lord skin

[tacit summit]

Doing my first ultra nightmare run. Is the slayer gate in exultia worth the risk for the weapon points? And by extension, are slayer gates worth it in general?

[quaint zinc]

i mean doing all slayer gates unlocks a podium but besides that u get weapon points. imo they aint really worth it if ur on ultra nightmare but on regular difficulties i’d say they are worth it

[astral hamlet]

absolutely not

[quaint zinc]

too much of a risk to die

[astral hamlet]

imo that's the hardest gate in the game

[quaint zinc]

slayer gates in general aint a joke

[astral hamlet]

although if you don't mind replaying the first 2 levels fairly frequently I suppose it might be worth it

[tacit summit]

Cant i just come back and do it later tho?

[astral hamlet]

no

there is no level select in UN

[tacit summit]

figured this out the hard way. now im going through the game on nightmare to 100% it

i wish they didnt sell certain skins ngl. i want a file that gives me all cosmetics so badly but its piracy and i dont stand for that 💔

[astral hamlet]

well considering such a mod is literally up on bethesda's official mod launcher
I don't think you have much to worry about

[quaint zinc]

true but i mean the original game

[quaint zinc]

also i JUST found that out yesterday

its cool but i like keeping my save files

i dont like the bethesda mod loader for that reason

[astral hamlet]

you can import your save file to the mod version

it doesn't transfer back to the un-modded client but if you always play modded it makes no difference

[quaint zinc]

wait u can?

[astral hamlet]

yeah, there's a checkbox you can check when launching a modded client

[quaint zinc]

oh cool

[astral hamlet]

although if you're running mod launcher mods you can't play battlemode or transfer your progress back to your unmodded save

[quaint zinc]

which is okay

because battlemode is ahh and u literally unlock everything anyways

right?

[astral hamlet]

ye

or at least 99% of everything

might be a few things that you don't unlock, but idrk because I didn't bother to verify everything

[quaint zinc]

its most things and thats what matters

[grave robin]

Why is no one talking abt my proposal....🥲

[gleaming crow]

hello

[lavish owl]

Dum idea man

[supple igloo]

Heh

[low bronze]

What is the purple goop??? is there an actual explanation for it???

[cinder iris]

Khan makyr piss

[mortal pecan]

Regular mud that collided with seventeen grape kool-aid trucks all at the same time

[grave robin]

Wdym, it would be funny af

[fringe torrent]

One is a serious franchise with grim topics for serious scary bloodthirsty people and the other is DOOM

[real holly]

this is truth nuke

[hollow basalt]

Is it plausible for the id software to stretch the power scaling for doom slayer to hyperversal?

For the next sequel within 5 years

[timid pier]

He never was

you’re thinking of Hugo’s FRAUDguy

[hollow basalt]

How so?

The codex is open ended to leave room for further interpretation

[timid pier]

Doomguys power is so different between the games and lore streams so I’ve began calling the stream version Hugo’s FRAUDguy, I could go into more detail but I won’t

Idrk enough about powerscaling to answer seriously

[hollow basalt]

Well I mean... That's true but remember id software always escalates there doom franchise

From just a normal human to super human then becoming plantery to complex Multiverse shows a pattern

[timid pier]

True answer idk, unless he kills something more powerful than davoth

Or something more powerful than enhanced ahzrak honestly he we probably the toughest fight the slayers had

[hollow basalt]

He is confusion

[real holly]

Doomguy in gameplay is a supersoldier and expert marksman that can come back from the dead

in lore he's this divine creature that kills billions of demons with his bare hands, which in hindsight makes sense for how history glorifies certain individuals

i honestly prefer his portrayal in gameplay compared to this odd "all powerful god like creature"

it's cooler to think that he's a supersoldier and expert marksman that despite his limitations is feared across all hell, not to mention he's definitely not unkillable nor non hurtable, but that's not a bad thing, cause everyone knows he'll be back no matter how much pain he endures

[timid pier]

Same

It’s also just bad story telling to not have this in the games and to create a whole other story you have to watch dev streams for

So I consider it non-canon

[real holly]

agreed

[hollow sequoia]

Regardless we get to play a power fantasy depending on how good we are at the game

[drowsy wedge]

doom guy go kill things good brain chemicals go brrr

[real holly]

yeah I won't blame anyone for how they see the power fantasy, that's what this is all about

[twin needle]

Hey guys anyone looking to help get the Battlemode achievements in DOOM Eternal on Steam?

[real holly]

that's part of why i love both TDA and Eternal, their both two cakes of the same power fantasy concept

[coarse summit]

what are the chances I find multiplayer games to finish the achievements for eternal

[drowsy wedge]

it is very hard to find them. but you can organize with ppl in here

its not very active by itself

[silent wharf]

Is anyone else irked that it takes the same amount of crucible charges for every enemy but some enemies you slice multiple times in the animation?

[coarse summit]

so people commonly come into here to find a few people to do the multiplayer?

[drowsy wedge]

yeah theres a lot of ppl asking in here usually

[real holly]

me

that tyrant kill was so misleading i used to believe i lost all my charges

[drowsy wedge]

i have not once thought that in any of my playthroughs

[timid pier]

Not really

I would be against that unless it recharged though, since it’s pickups are pretty rare, maybe throw in some logic about how it draws strength from the argent in the demons and heavy/super heavy demons recharge it

[silent wharf]

Ok, that makes sense, but the game itself doesn't say anything about it

[drowsy wedge]

every other thing in the game is 1 click = 1 charge why would that be any different

its just an aura animation since the thing is so big

i love getting the triple chop animation its so satisfying

[timid pier]

Not really

Chainsaw for superheavies

[drowsy wedge]

i am le stupid

idk i never thought it would be taking more than one charge. more swipes more fun

[coarse summit]

ok si im playing battlemode, what does Q do as a demon, it seems to swap something in the middle of the screen but what are those abilities?

does the kill 200 opponents in battle mode only count when your the doom slayer?

[timid pier]

what the fuck

[short goblet]

Not really funny.

[timid pier]

It’s not even relevant to anything

[native reef]

Is it normal that I have full base campaign 100%-ed, but I still don't have any master levels unlocked?

[scenic axle]

Where are you trying to access them

[heady rune]

Can anyone help me with multiplayer trophies?

Please?

[winged depot]

Guys, excuse me. I replayed DOOM Eternal and i feel i got kinda worse: like, i miss some shots, got stuck in a corner by accident and is kinda hard make combos becuase i play on PS4.

Does it count that i haven't played for a while?

[timid pier]

Yes, Eternal is absolutely a game where you'll get worse ify ou don't play

[winged depot]

Ok, is because im practicing to beat UN.

Currently i reached until Super Gore Nest on UN.

[winged depot]

Also, good to know. Buecase is my favorite game ever and i want to get better at playing it.

[scenic axle]

I feel like it's the opposite for me 😭

[real holly]

it's a mixed bag for me, sometimes i come back and i suck, others I come back and im locked in

[storm eagle]

I feel like this is the most common thing for sure. Depends on the day

[real holly]

basically

[storm eagle]

Sometimes I'm like "Wow I'm pretty good at this now", other days I miss 3 pb headshots in a row and chainsaw the air.

[real holly]

OUT OF RANGE/NO TARGET

https://tenor.com/view/dog-accepting-fate-tiktok-at-peace-gif-567488341419321713

[storm eagle]

Or go to glory kills a caco, and use my blood punch on accident

[native reef]

Nothing in the menu, nothing in the fortress of doom either

[scenic axle]

Press your save file from the main menu, don't press load, press master levels

[fringe torrent]

Or you can find a Master Levels button in the Fortress of Doom, to the left of the ARC Broadcast screen

[past panther]

yo is doom the dark ages worth it

[real holly]

wrong channel but yes

[elder raft]

Yes

[past panther]

ok

will they have sale (just asking)

[drowsy wedge]

yeah its on the steam sale every time that happens

[native reef]

Yeah this one is empty

[native reef]

This one 2

[coarse summit]

Queing for some battle mode, cmon help me get these acehievements!

[sage bay]

Im not getting the gunpletionist achievement when ive mastered all weapon mods

[fierce coral]

Me too I want to do it but I’m not paying for online hmbh

I play it on Xbox

[polar whale]

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have you beaten the whole doom-eternal (campaign + dlcs) on nightmare difficulty?

[fringe torrent]

I'm yet to do TAG 1 on NM, but I did the rest

[real holly]

I've done all of that in Ultra Nightmare

[polar whale]

I did it all

[polar whale]

W broooo

Congrats

I did it all on Nightmare

[real holly]

thanks, did it some months ago

[polar whale]

Still

[real holly]

these days i dabble in mods to see if i can find some more "fun zones"

because I'm very strict about what I consider a fun encounter

[polar whale]

I still have to do ultra-nightmare for everything

[real holly]

unlike most Eternal fans I don't enjoy having my balls zapped every 5 seconds

[polar whale]

Fair

Do you have any tips as to how to make beating everything on Ultra-Nightmare more bearable? @real holly

[real holly]

as i always say, practice each level, try to beat them twice on nightmare without ever reaching low health. This will force you to LEARN encounters and the gameplay loop as a whole rather than SURVIVE them

[austere bronze]

not doing it

[real holly]

this is also true

[polar whale]

Okay, thanks

[polar whale]

Fair enough, but I wanna try doing it all, since I already did everything on nightmare

[jolly hedge]

just got doom eternal like last week, im about to beat it on ultra violence am I doing good

[austere bronze]

yes

[fringe torrent]

You are winning

[jolly hedge]

ok

[ivory leaf]

I think I will just give up attempting Ultra Nightmare. Made 129 attempts so far with a week of practicing. The furthest I got was that room after getting the SSG

[heady rune]

Hi guys anyone wants to help me with multiplayer trophies?

Any help will be nice to have

The trophies I need are the healing and the 200 demon kills

[sharp cypress]

[heady rune]

Anyone? Please?

[nocturne pollen]

What device?

[heady rune]

Playstation

[nocturne pollen]

Sorry, I'm on Xbox

[heady rune]

Oh ok

Thanks for answering tho

[quaint zinc]

this might sound kinda weird

but the barbarian skin is goated. especially the golden one

not only is it conan but its a shirtless version of doom guy

[real holly]

no no he's onto something

[quaint zinc]

😂

[scenic axle]

Most of the people that are active in this chat probably have, but most of the people that have beaten DE haven’t done that

[quaint zinc]

i did it in ultra nightmare

[polar whale]

Okiii

[polar whale]

W bro

[ivory leaf]

I'm giving UN up. I am simply too bad.

[gentle geyser]

then start improving homie

[sacred spear]

Start UN file
Start Nightmare file
Practice level in Nightmare file until your arms fall off
Beat level in UN file
Repeat

[scenic axle]

Play the master levels, those will help you get better at the game

[prisma lotus]

I’m playing my first run on doom eternal and I’m doing it on nightmare mode

[visual cave]

Any tips on how to get the ember skin

[quaint zinc]

u cant outside of buying it

its a skin pack on the steam store

[visual cave]

Oh okay thanks

[lapis wing]

hi

[covert tartan]

Wait guys quick question

I never got my zombie slayer skin for eternal after joining the slayers club is there anyway yall can help?

[quaint zinc]

crazy coincidence. im trying to get it atm aswell. apparently it isnt obtainable via regular methods anymore but if u submit a support ticket from the bethesda website u can attempt to ask for it

apparently it works but it might not work first try since sometimes the first response is automated

[coarse summit]

anyone to play battlemode

[rapid mango]

Just finished the campaign and the ancient gods part 1. Starting part 2

[coarse summit]

im on final sin mission, having a blast

[covert tartan]

Ok

[swift cobalt]

I thinks most people did :v

[wicked sentinel]

Today I finally managed to get the entire Doom II skin set and managed to reach 19th place in Horde mode

[scenic axle]

What score is that? Also ‘do you get those super high scores

[austere bronze]

i don't think so

it isn't that common to play on nightmare

[ivory leaf]

That was exactly how I practiced.

[honest ravine]

Guys just kinda confused but are the secrets worth it?

[drowsy wedge]

what does "worth it" mean

[ivory leaf]

The Toys? They are pretty cool but dont bring that much of an advantage. And it looks awesome in the Fortress once you got all of them.

[honest ravine]

I mean because like I'm currently on mission 10 since I stopped playing for a while and like I've been getting everything secret from like every mission and I was just like thinking to my self if it's all even worth the trouble looking for them

[drowsy wedge]

its just a game, you can enjoy it however you want

if you just want to complete the game then you dont need to get them. but if you like seeing the completion percentage go up then yeah keep it at it

its all just random stats and pixels on a screen so just do whatever feels enjoyable

[plush shell]

doom eternal peak game tho

[austere bronze]

true

[fierce topaz]

Finally completed doom eternal, ancient gods and ancient gods 2 all on ultra nightmare

[austere bronze]

ggs

[astral hamlet]

hell knights aren't very threatening in eternal past cultist base

dread knights are much worse--higher health pool, faster, can jump farther, and deal more damage

[severe cobalt]

Let's say I downloaded a mod from 2023, would it be outdated?

[ivory leaf]

Nah I just use the Micro Missiles then one or two Sticky Bombs and done

[severe cobalt]

Just use lock on and you can easily turn them into a pile of mush

[austere bronze]

wdym by outdated?

[severe cobalt]

Like would it not work?

[fringe torrent]

Not work on current version maybe?

[severe cobalt]

I'm not using the mod launcher to add mods I want the mods directly into my game

Use rocket launcher instead

The lock on saves time

[austere bronze]

most mods from 2023 still work

either cause they don't break or because they get updated

[severe cobalt]

It was last updated in 2023 in December

[austere bronze]

lock-on burst takes 3 rockets for a relatively low priority demon though

[severe cobalt]

All the others still tank rockets so🤷🏽‍♂️

[austere bronze]

there doesn't exist one best answer for anything in eternal

[austere bronze]

try it and see if it works then

[severe cobalt]

Yes they all still kill but some are more efficient than others

Anyway the mod I got for the super shotgun is great

Fixes ammo consumption by making it like 2016 super shotgun

[austere bronze]

shotgun ammo is probably the most abundant ammo in eternal

[severe cobalt]

I honestly might buy the ancient gods 1 and 2 if I don't buy dark ages

[austere bronze]

especially since you can replenish it via the full auto

[severe cobalt]

It's rifle ammo

[severe cobalt]

Well I use super shotgun the most😭

[austere bronze]

ehh

like for example, the sticky bomb for a cacodemon is something i rarely use

[severe cobalt]

I use it all the time

Or I just use ballista

[austere bronze]

what you want to use comes down to personal playstyle, your surroundings, the arena, and ammo (not any "enemy weaknesses")

[austere bronze]

what?

[severe cobalt]

I just run around like steroid addict and kill everything

[severe cobalt]

Heavy cannon

[austere bronze]

yeah but what does that have to do with anything

[severe cobalt]

The ammo is the most abundant

[pastel spindle]

does anybody play battlemode? or is it dead

[severe cobalt]

I think it's dead

[austere bronze]

ohh, i mean i probably disagree with that

[severe cobalt]

Or close

[pastel spindle]

thx

[austere bronze]

yeah but often you'd wanna save lock-on burst for demons you want gone quick or high priorities

and you waste 700 damage if you use it on hell knights

[fringe torrent]

@mystic valve Why do you dislike Seraphim? It's cinema (the boss fight)

[mystic valve]

I dunno i don't like how it relies so much on Spirits. Like just lemme actually shoot the guy!!

And the whole moving platforms thing lost its novelty pretty quick for me

[fringe torrent]

I thought it was appropriate the TAG 1 boss challenges you with the hardest TAG 1 addition

Didn't feel like too much

[mystic valve]

I'm not saying Spirits shouldnt have been in the fight at all, but like it became painfully obvious the Seraphim's AI is just a slightly tweaked Arch-Vile. Like i yearn for the day one of these games has a flying demon that just divebombs straight into u or smth

[fringe torrent]

Isn't that the Lost Soul

[mystic valve]

Yeah but lost souls are pitiful bruh, im talking like a Cyberdemon sized mf

[fringe torrent]

No yeah I get that you were saying there's too many rather than just the fact there's any at all, but I found it a fine amount for a boss fight

[mystic valve]

It wasnt bad, just fine. Could also be I just don't like the whole Seraphim Hayden thing. Like when he said "this was not how it was meant to be" that felt really fucking meta

[fringe torrent]

I didn't bat an eye to that but then again I didn't either for "Am I the Father?" or "I'm not supposed to die", so...

[mystic valve]

I thought the Father reveal was actually cool and made VEGA's character more interesting, plus it felt actually alluded to in 2016. With Samuel/Seraphim it just felt underwhelming and actively worse for both characters

[fringe torrent]

I didn't like Eternal's story too much anyway so this didn't shock me that hard

I'd be mortified if this happened in a game where I liked the story but here it was just "oh another Eternal moment"

[astral hamlet]

just 200 damage, actually

lob does 2700 damage, hell knights have 2500 health

[mortal pecan]

I thought the seraphim fight was well-designed, but it just had too many repeating phases
but to be fair I don't really like endurance bosses 'cause I feel like after a certain length those stop being a test of skill

[astral hamlet]

the boss starts to escalate in bullshit as the pillars start rising

[austere bronze]

dam tanky guys

[astral hamlet]

ye

[fierce topaz]

I would say hell knights in Eternal are easier than 2016

[astral hamlet]

for sure

their movement is pretty similar, but you as the player have much higher mobility, so they're gonna be less threatening

went from possibly the most threatening heavy demon in 2016 to not that big of a deal

[echo depot]

who can help?

I haven't played the game for a long time, and after updating it, the game doesn't start. The launcher appears and immediately closes.

[astral hamlet]

are you running mod injector mods

[real holly]

Seraphim boss fight is moreso a fight against the Seraphim mixed in with tough enemy arenas, notice how The Seraphim has like 2 attacks and that's it

I used to HATE the Seraphim boss, but after months of practice I got better and now I don't necessarily love it or anything, but it's close to how much I like Icon of Sin for example

[quaint zinc]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/966855572873961522/1482763973697994782/8BF58282-D0DF-48D5-9521-D18D6195A408.jpg?ex=69b8230f&is=69b6d18f&hm=2135fbb4309730e516a147d646ed3cc48541fc127a8787b0b2f8d748a073fcce&

works in 2026

[astral hamlet]

with the exception of the ridiculous cacodemon autoscroller I'm pretty sure everything in that fight is either solved by pb-ballista or lock on burst

which is pretty sad

[real holly]

the ugly truth about the Seraphim is that its not an ordinary boss in the sense that's its designed to test all your skills more than anything else up to that point

[real holly]

the cacodemon autoscroller will never not perplex me what in the fuck was that

[astral hamlet]

such a dumb addition

[real holly]

or microwave beam to stun that fucking possesed pain elemental

[astral hamlet]

yeah that works too

[real holly]

i need Hugo to tell me what the cacodemon phase was for as much as game theory needs to know whats inside that box

autoscroller in Doom is ludicrous

[astral hamlet]

yeah let's make the boss alternate between fighting samuel and killing his possessed summons
but oh yeah, add in a weird platforming section where you sticky stagger cacodemons for a minute straight

[real holly]

since the boss is supposed to be a final test of your skills, pull a argent tower and make a platforming segment with insta kills if you fall

[quaint zinc]

W

[austere bronze]

you could say that for the entirety of eternal tho

[timid pier]

alright i owe eternal an apology, i might've been over-estimating how long the levels are, doom hunter base took me about twenty minutes

[astral hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/green-goblin-green-goblin-mask-true-reject-urge-gif-5468536146075159495

although that fight is specifically very much oriented towards that meta

[timid pier]

doom eternal update: remove every weapon, replace it with an instant-firing full accuracy beam

[astral hamlet]

samur teleports around so often that long range hitscan is the only consistent way to damage him, the eyes are instakilled by a pb-ballista cycle, the blood maykrs you have to headshot with one of those two things (or a sticky bomb I guess, but that's unnecessary), and the possessed demons are LOB food

[austere bronze]

mifcrowave beam eternal

[real holly]

true!

[real holly]

basically

i do think the possesed pain elemental deserves two bfg shots cause they are tanky af even with ballista or lob in question

[astral hamlet]

yeah I do usually use all my unmaykr ammo on it if I'm feeling impatient

[quaint zinc]

this might sound crazy but there actually is a part of doom eternal i despise

its nekravol. i fucking hate nekravol

that stupid ass soul factory

its so annoying

just hard to navigate for me and i dont like the orange. it hurts my eyes

thats the ONLY part besides the beginning of doom eternal i hate

[real holly]

we might've found the one and only Nekravol hater

[fringe torrent]

Nekravol is peak

[simple holly]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1249915579985301517/1465945840848867555/This_post_was_fact_checked_by_real_Demonic.gif

[mortal pecan]

I love Nekravol and I also think I understand why it could really annoy someone
it just doesn't do that to me 🙂

[urban plinth]

Is there any way to cheese the achievements

Not neccesarily cheating but a easyy way

For some of the harder ones for the campaign, dlcs and horde mode

[fringe torrent]

Which ones are harder ones

[wicked sentinel]

The last time I checked it was 100500, now I'm at score 21. It was on the "a little tap doesn't hurt" difficulty; yes, the difficulty is quite easy, but I did it on that difficulty for a set

[covert tartan]

Ok

[echo depot]

No

I played for 1000 hours, abandoned the game for a year, and when I returned, idTechLauncher appeared for 1-2 seconds, and that was it. I tried reinstalling the drivers, the game, running it as an administrator, and many other things from the internet, but the result was zero.

[restive jay]

NERF COOLKID

[queen pilot]

I hate the holt most

Especially the slayer gate

Its so small

With too many demons

[mortal pecan]

"the den of otters on horseback"
I still have no idea what anyone was thinking with the name

[scenic axle]

I think the arenas are quite well designed

[austere bronze]

same

[echo depot]

Can someone help?

[nova gate]

420h Slayer tired of weak lobbies. Looking for a real challenge in" BATTLEMODE against a top-tier demon team. If you won't quit and want some serious rounds, add me: SAYADOMAR"

[summer ridge]

can someone pls tell me how to get the golden skin for the super shotgun and assault rifle?

yes, i've 100% every single level of both TAG DLCs on Nightmare AND Ultra Nightmare, which is what the few sources i could find say

[quaint zinc]

pretty sure its the first level of tag 2 on ultra nightmare

[primal mulch]

TDA>>Eternal

[real holly]

Eternal>>TDA

[grand salmon]

FFIX > FFX

[drowsy lodge]

my pc wouldnt let me play tda

[queen pilot]

"He made a statement so trash that his gng glory killed him"

[scenic axle]

I think it's just preference

[fringe torrent]

DOOM fans when somebody has a different opinion

[real holly]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-slayer-doomguy-doom-guy-doomslayer-gif-16568152361975227628

[drowsy wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-domguy-dies-cringe-dies-of-cringe-gif-24496797

[fringe torrent]

I also prefer TDA to Eternal personally

[real holly]

nice opinion!

[queen pilot]

Why? Bcoz theres no dash? Or because you can block every attack whether its aerial or ground or tyrant stomp, which basically makes TDA doom stand tall and strong eternal?

[real holly]

anyhow replayed Blood Swamps and The Holt back to back (including Slayer gate) and honestly i might prefer these two over UAC rig purely bc UAC rig drags a bit at times

[fringe torrent]

Because I like everything about it more. Gameplay, music, story, visuals

[real holly]

Blood Swamps still my favorite level in all of Eternal

and probably in all of doom

Holt is close, if you told my past self I'd grow to like The Holt as much as I do now I would have called you crazy

[fringe torrent]

Holt rocks

[real holly]

I just had to get really good to start properly enjoying it. Many lesser skilled players enjoy it cause they like torture which is fine but I need to get really good at level for me to have fun and subsequently enjoy it

[real holly]

I'd say
-I prefer the music in Eternal but it doesn't mean I don't like TDAs OST either
-Visually it depends on the level, sometimes Eternal, sometimes TDA (the fog in TDA doesn't help). I find both games to be pretty equal visually, not to mention I love Sentinel architecture so that's an added plus to TDA
-Story? Definitely TDA
-Gameplay? While I love both, Eternal's speed and freedom of movement makes it trump TDA. Not to mention arena design is way more interesting due to verticality

[queen pilot]

I mean its hard

And the slayer gate arena was too compact

Especially the two possessed marauders they were really hard

[real holly]

it's one

there's not two possesed Marauder's

[summer ridge]

I did it, nothing, same for the super shotgun

[real holly]

the Slayer gate is tough, but ice bomb/nade + double lob kills the archvilles quickly, then you focus on the blood makyrs, kill everything else and then lock tf in for the possesed marauder, I personally use lob to force it to open up for a ballista shot to stun and repeat until he dies

[mystic valve]

This is every fandom

[elder raft]

Same

[queen pilot]

I never figured out the lock in launch sideways opening but i used chaingun

[elder raft]

The shield ain't that strong. It breaks after like 2 heavy hits

[swift cobalt]

The dark ages feel weird

Order wise

Newest game

But a prequel to both previous game

I don't see us getting another doom soon after TDA dlcs

Since doomguy is already sleeping

In his coffin :v

[elder raft]

Hugo himself has said TDA is not the last doom game. Maybe it's another prequel, maybe it's anothet sequel, but another one is coming

[swift cobalt]

Idk tho

Where do we go from this, he killed god :v

[elder raft]

If we're talking sequel to eternal, Samur is still alive. The Father is also active

[swift cobalt]

Which is the dark ages :v

Maybe another prequel?

[elder raft]

Dark ages ain't no sequel. It's the newest game but it's a prequel

[elder raft]

Maybe. There's alot between 64 and 2016 which is where TDA takes place

[swift cobalt]

Yeah, i misread, mb

[small helm]

Too many loose ends in Eternal: Samur is still alive, crucible is out there , presence of cosmic realm all over the game and prophecies from 2016. So rest assured they can go a lot of ways about the Eternal sequel.

[swift cobalt]

And Doomguy have no power left

But to be fair, if they want to keep the games on rolling, they could just make some things up

[small helm]

it isn't really clear if he is exactly powerless but he's certainly resting after his quest against hell

[elder raft]

he still has his power. if he is needed again, he will wake up again

[queen pilot]

May the blood on your sword never dry

[cinder iris]

And may we never need you again

[real holly]

it is that strong, it can tank an icon of sin hit

i never use the chaingun shield bc it's just too strong

[elder raft]

Now that i would like to see

[real holly]

also by shield bashing (dashing into an enemy while using it) the enemy gets bumped and they get a small falter while being damaged

this essentially means your shield will take even less damage

the only enemies that can two shot the shield are possesed enemies

[elder raft]

I always wondered how he even does that shield bash. Are there rockets on it or sum??

[real holly]

who knows

[elder raft]

Are we talking about the same shield

[real holly]

yes

admittedly it's been long since i last used it but it basically made me a worse player

no damage received cheat xosd

on the click of a button

[elder raft]

I'm talking about the shieldsaw. We were discussing TDA for a brief period

[real holly]

oh i thought u were discussing the energy shield from eternal

this is #doom-eternal after all

[elder raft]

I know. But some dude was asking why Anome preferred TDA over Eternal while mentioning the shield blocking everything when it really doesn't. I understand the confusion tho since this is the wrong chat for TDA

[real holly]

if you think the shield blocks everything in TDA you either didn't play the game or played on super easy baby mode

yes it can parry attacks but that requires timing and missing that just breaks your shield

some TDA haters complain it's too easy like dude the difficulty sliders are right there, that's how you tell its ragebait/engagement farming bc they deliberately ignore the sliders

[elder raft]

It really is the subway meme there. My brother in christ, you control the difficulty😭

[silver moss]

i think devs giving sliders to account for the lack of a more challenging difficulty is extremely lame, we didnt want to balance another difficulty, here are some sliders go figure it out on your own, its the devs job to make diffs not yours

• yeah its great that higher diffs only boost stats, new attacks would have been too much to handle

[elder raft]

The game is decently tough on nightmare if you're not careful. But if you want that extra spice, you use the sliders. If that ain't enough for you then you got a skilled issue (not skill issue but skilled issue)

Also, made this rq. It's perfect

[real holly]

apparently some mfs don't like the devs going out of their way to let you choose the difficulty in detail

doom has always been a "everyone has their own fun zone" thing, having this level of customization accounts for so many different player preferences instead of staying rigid to a certain difficulty. It's the devs acknowledging the players desires

so no, dark ages having sliders to account for a "lack of more challenging difficulty" is not extremely lame, and going by nightmare standards is still tough, did you yourself play TDA nightmare and found it easy?

[elder raft]

Hell, Eternal also has that. It has its difficulties and it has the cheat codes. You play it how you want. They further enhanced that with TDA. You control how your experience will go

[real holly]

i need the "TDA is easy/Sliders being there is bad" mfs to genuinely tell me they found nightmare easy

like is it that horrible of a concept to these individuals to just turn up a slider in a menu? How terrifying

[elder raft]

Is TDA nightmare harder or just as hard as 2016 or eternal? No. But is it hard? Hell yeah it is. One mistake and you're done

[real holly]

and once more, sliders are RIGHT there, it's not hard at all to modify anything to be harder. Do that 5 second task and tell me if it's still easy

[elder raft]

With sliders cranked up that shit is 10 times harder than eternal could ever be. I tried it. Didn't go well😭

[real holly]

with the sliders cranked up it was legitimately bordering on impossible lowk

[elder raft]

It was the game speed that fucked me up. Cranked that up. God damn that made it difficult

[real holly]

not to mention many Eternal players use cheat codes like ai haste increase to make the game harder, so when tda does it in a more accessible manner suddenly its bad?

or play on RIDICULOUSLY hard master levels, official and/or fanmade like CBT Atlantica

genuinely can't see the logic here at all

[elder raft]

Eternal's master levels are more painful and annoying than challenging tbh. They're challenging, but they're so long. They feel more like an endurance test than a skill challenge

[real holly]

agreed

and there's always some funny ah bs arena designed specifically to make you rage

and all of this is coming from someone who prefers Eternal over TDA, but let's not be unserious and claim the game is easy or that the sliders are bad???

like I'll understand the "the gameplay loop isn't for me/I prefer the more movement oriented approach of Eternal and the speed" comments but with the other ones we just lyin

[elder raft]

I legit ragequit world spear master because i just couldn't do it anymore. I had enough. I was so tired and then when i thought it was finally over, it threw me into another arena😭

[real holly]

to this day my most agonizing Eternal experience was Taras Nabad Master level UN, by the end of it I wanted to destroy Hugo

i was on vc, audibly expressing my exhaustion

[elder raft]

I wasn't in vc but i do remember laughing like a maniac when i was thrown into another fucking arena and then just losing it

[real holly]

i won't deny the iconic "oh they turned this random part that wasn't previously an arena into a nightmarish one" is funny

[fringe torrent]

All of these are subjective so eitherway is valid

I just prefer TDA in all of the aspects

[queen pilot]

Also i have never been able to get past matchmaking in battlemode, so do you guys still play it?

[nocturne pollen]

No

[austere bronze]

https://youtu.be/ji6f7keWnkY?is=mB98ZJyoKKk5MDYu

[nocturne pollen]

Pretty much dead, just like 2016's

[queen pilot]

🙁

[nocturne pollen]

Dark Ages doesn't have one for reason

[austere bronze]

yeah it's understandably very hard to maintain an active multiplayer in a mainly singleplayer game

[real holly]

i think its a decent double edged sword bc if shit becomes multiplayer it ends up in that slop limbo of battle pass shit

live service slobber

[nocturne pollen]

Eternal had a good battle pass esq system imo

[real holly]

i never understood it

[fringe torrent]

As much as I dislike RtCW I have to give it credit for branching out the popular multiplayer into its own f2p title. It helped the multiplayer stay alive even to this day. Something like this for Battlemode would be awesome

I personally enjoyed Battlemode a fair amount and making it free would absolutely boost the playerbase

[quaint zinc]

nvm its the first level on nightmare

sorry for the confusion

i couldnt remember how i got them

[summer ridge]

i said i didn't get it, i played it on nightmare multiple times, did everything

[quaint zinc]

oh damn

try reconcile entitlements in bethesda settings

it aint normal u didnt get them

[summer ridge]

how do i do that?

[quaint zinc]

go to settings in doom eternal

go to the bethesda section and press reconcile entitlements

it gives u missed items if a glitch happens

like for my example i didnt get the cosmic skin from this season so i pressed reconcile entitlements and it gave me it

[summer ridge]

Hmm

I'm trying it, first attempt did nothing

[quaint zinc]

and if that doesnt work u can try contacting bethesda support

but idk if they can help u

probably not tbh

ur trying to get super shotgun and the heavy cannon right?

[summer ridge]

Yes

[quaint zinc]

weird. they are just from playing the first level of tag 2 on nightmare. idk why u didnt get it

heavy cannon and super shotgun are from tag 2 first level on nightmare

rocket launcher and plasma rifle are from second level

ballista and chaingun are from third level

and bfg-9000 is from doing all escalation encounters and combat shotgun is from completing the challenge in super gore nest master level

[summer ridge]

I have all of these except the Super shotgun and heavy cannon

I completed the first level on nightmare and ultra nightmare multiple times, I've sent a bug report and maybe they'll help

[quaint zinc]

hopefully they do

im sorry i couldn’t help

[summer ridge]

The game literally says that I got the skins but they are just not there, the objective is even completed, "beat World's Spear on nightmare" and it says I did it and I got the skins, but it's not true

[summer ridge]

You actually did help a bit thank you

[quaint zinc]

reconcile entitlements should work then. u gotta try a few times tho because when i did it it took like 4-5 times for me to even get anything. its weird

but yea, bethesda should be able to help as long as it DID say u obtained them

[fringe torrent]

They won't be able to straight up add the items I believe

[quaint zinc]

they were able to add items for me

but it was a slayers club issue

[fringe torrent]

Those were items tied to Bethesda.net promotions yes

[quaint zinc]

oh

[fringe torrent]

These are items you unlock in-game

[quaint zinc]

damn.

reconcile entitlements should work then right?

because they DID unlock them but didnt obtain them

another thing that sometimes works is playing a level

but idk if it would work if the unlock thing already popped up

i wish i could help more than i am but unfortunately this hasnt happened to me

[wise skiff]

i kill dark lord so cool so cool so cool so cool

[arctic mirage]

Not sure how this could happen unfortunately....

I made the map as simple as possible to avoid stuff like that from happening haha

[quaint zinc]

am i the only one who liked the dark lord fight?

its annoying as all hell but it was fun

[fringe torrent]

It's fun but bad imo

Like yeah it's fun because it's a big Marauder, but it's bad because it's a big Marauder, quite the underwhelming conclusion innit

[hollow sequoia]

Doom boss design is quite disappointing

[fringe torrent]

Honestly I felt like only the TAG 2 boss was bad, I enjoy the rest

[hollow sequoia]

That’s the only boss I hate the others are just boring

[fringe torrent]

Can't say I agree

[hollow sequoia]

Can we agree that the gladiator boss has peak music

[fringe torrent]

Yes

[mortal pecan]

Obviously 😛

[storm eagle]

Doom Eternal convos here

[fiery dagger]

bro

icon of sin soundtrack and fight was peak

what are we saying

[jolly hedge]

just beat doom eternal

took me 16 days on ultra violence

[real holly]

absolute DOOM

[jolly hedge]

?

[real holly]

(basically saying great work)

[jolly hedge]

👍

[grizzled summit]

Is anyone playing battlemod

[dusk basalt]

guys, i literally can't finish final.part of Tara's nabad. wtf.

[dense wigeon]

I finally beat the final sin boss!!

[mortal pecan]

Nice
It can be a long fight
...but just wait till you get to the end of TAG1

[fallow galleon]

Bro I’ve been stuck on the level where the summoner gets inerduced for couple of months

[storm eagle]

Just find him right away and then use ice bomb and lock-on rocket.

it's called the Archvile

[long basin]

Hi im looking for a couple people to help me grind out 200 kills in battlemode. Id be willing to return the favor in return. Im on pc.

[hollow sequoia]

I died like 4 times in arc complex nightmare level 3 of which was because I kept getting diddled by the Tyrant and the thing that spawns vengeful spirits near the beginning

[dusky adder]

i tend to jump and dash behind them when they are summoning demons then spam rockets

[storm eagle]

how is that different than what I said minus the ice bomb?

[dusky adder]

fair

[storm eagle]

And if someone is struggling for two months with it, I say use the ice bomb first and don't spam rockets and risk self damage

[dusky adder]

true

[quiet dagger]

Personally, i use the machine gun

[dusky adder]

good strat

[storm eagle]

why is everyone responding to me and not the original guy lol

[dusky adder]

idk lol

[storm eagle]

and wdym machine gun

chaingun?

[nocturne pollen]

Mmmm chaingun

Turret or shield?

[storm eagle]

I only use the chaingun in classic doom

[nocturne pollen]

[storm eagle]

And I never use the shield personally, it can turn into a crutch

[dusky adder]

yea he meant chaingun

also is it just me or is the difficulty jump between khan maykr and icon of sin a decently big jump

[quiet dagger]

Oh right, i'm from Argentina and the spanish translation says something closer to machine gun lol

[storm eagle]

ah I see

[quiet dagger]

I use it for tyrants, is great, especially when you dash with it directly to the demon so it makes damage, combine that with a few missiles and an ice bomb, and the tyrant is dead in a few seconds (i can't make combos on PS4, ok?)

[dusky adder]

instead of using combos against tyrant i just use crucible and one shot them

[drowsy wedge]

what in the world

[dusky adder]

dont ask

[austere bronze]

i wouldn't shield bash that often

the issue is that the DPS it provides isn't anything special, and you're losing 1 or 2 dashes

[storm eagle]

lol stop

[hushed spoke]

Best doom

[grave robin]

the hell, since when is the knight in DOOM????

[velvet trellis]

hey guy, i research people to play i need to do all mutliplayer's succes to get the 100%

[grave robin]

wut?

[real holly]

same

[pliant hearth]

just finished my first ultra nightmare of the main campaign 💪 yay

[real holly]

good work

[fierce topaz]

One achievement left before platinum

Kill 200 players in battlemode

[bitter cradle]

Only shotgun is the way

[fringe torrent]

Chaingun is the best weapon in the originals, I get LM here

[storm eagle]

And plasma. Plasma melts everything, chaingun stuns. The plasma is dogshit in Eternal.

[fringe torrent]

Yeah honestly the new games have a LOT of improvements but one thing I feel like the first DOOM still trumps in is that each weapon has a real use that isn't forced on you like in TAG 2

Meanwhile in Eternal you have the chaingun and plasma which are not used as often as the rest, if at all

[real holly]

it's lowk only useful with heat blast in Exultia lmao

and microwave beam to stun possesed pricks in DLC

[storm eagle]

yep agreed with both of you on all points

plasma is good for stunning pinkies in 2016 and Eternal. Everything else meh

[vocal geode]

Hey? Should i try daisy’s map after i finish the game?

[hollow sequoia]

What?

[storm eagle]

I meant that's the only chaingun in Doom games that I use, not the only weapon

[austere bronze]

what do you mean?

[vocal geode]

One of my friends told me about a map called save daisy

[austere bronze]

the modded map called daisy's lament?

[vocal geode]

Yes

[austere bronze]

you could try it, but it's way harder than anything non-modded..

[vocal geode]

Yeah i know, my friend told me is already on ultra nightmare

One death, i return from beginning, I’ll finish the campaign and the ancient Gods 1 and 2 at nightmare, then give it a try

[dusky adder]

its only good early game for acrachnotrons

[nocturne pollen]

Heat Blast

[dusky adder]

yes

[austere bronze]

heat blast is extra good in the early game for a couple reasons, but i think it's good in the entire game

like if you get cornered or anything, the heat blast is an immediate hard falter

also allows you to get closer to demons for longer

[real holly]

heat blast is good in some tag 1 arenas with shield soldiers everywhere

[austere bronze]

ngl, forgot it insta-destroyed them😭

[waxen cave]

que up guys!

[grave robin]

@hollow sequoia nvm

[hollow sequoia]

what’s the hardest master level arc complex just seems a mission to ease in to the others not one archvile

[scenic axle]

World spear or Taras nabad, depending on if it’s nightmare or UN

Well just deathless or not I guess

[hollow sequoia]

Do they have anything like the acid floor level with the double marauders

[austere bronze]

world spear doesn't have any double marauders, but taras nabad has a double marauder donut arena

[astral hamlet]

And one at the end in the fog

[austere bronze]

oh yeah that too

[quaint zinc]

whats the best skin in yalls opinion?

[fringe torrent]

2016

[quaint zinc]

i like ember

zombie is pretty cool too

[hollow sequoia]

Lowkey forgot about the fog sections

[hollow sequoia]

I’m simple I like the one where he’s in the gladiator armor

[rugged flax]

Sentinal

[real holly]

fallen angel

[real holly]

but this skin is also baller

[timid pier]

2016 praetor suit, other ones are cool but don't really fit doom and the eternal suit can look wonky sometimes

[scenic axle]

The world spear is easily consistently the hardest level, it’s also stupid long. Taras nabad isn’t consistently as hard as world spear but it has 2 difficulty spikes in 2 different encounters that are way harder than that one

[astral hamlet]
