why does every server have to have a password

the best way to get good at arena shooters is by just playing them.

@unborn lodge check out #lfg-signup if you want to find unpassworded servers and more players.

It took me a while, but the closest thing to an "arena shooter" that I'm good at, is TF2, but even then it's not really an arena shooter. I'm really good at mge

could someone please send me dusk on steam my account went don and its not in my library anymore:(
teal geode
Sure and would you like amid evil and ultra kill with that?
celest void
no
teal geode
I was being sarcastic I’m not wasting my money
celest void
eh i could pirate it anyways
crimson folio
BRUH
teal geode
Oh yes say your going to pirate a game on the discord server for the game with the devs!
celest void
oh i bought it but my ass steam avount stopped working and it wasnt in my library anymore. im not buyin that twice
autumn pendant
I mean, that is also one of a nice way to lie out of pirating ngl
celest void
im sorry lie, i dont want to be "that guy" but why in the hell would i buy a twenty dollar game TWICE
crimson folio
Mods asleep i guess
celest void
im only resorting to pirating on this one occasion. i have alreay bought maximum action,ultakill,amid evil and... dusk.

If I were you I'd probably dm Dave about it

teal geode
Three more levels and I’m done with my second play through
crimson folio
What difficulty?
teal geode
I can take it that’s what I did for my first play through however I plan for the future to do a cero miedo
I’m mostly playing this one for the details for the third run
crimson folio
I havent looked back since i started playing on cero miedo
teal geode
I just want to be prepared for cero miedo
I did play through a few levels on that difficulty tho
However before I do my cero miedo run I got one really long game to get through
crimson folio
i chose cero miedo when i first played the game
teal geode
How was that as a first play?
crimson folio
i mean
its normal ?
like ive played many shooter games before
so i get used to it ig
but yeah i still die
Dusk isnt too hard
many times
teal geode
The first episode is pretty easy
crimson folio
I quicksave kinda rarely because i dont die much anymore
crimson folio
wait how do you quicksave again
F6
default in most fps games now
f9 is quickload
But some games use f7
ah okay
stark hawk
High quality gamers always bind quicksave to F5.
crimson folio
Real gamers always make a new save file
stark hawk
Only if you wanted to deal with the save bug in that game that inverted the difficulty. If you wanna be truly authentic, you have to do each level in a single go.
Or you could just use a port without that bug. Like a casual.

Yo I think that the AR rate of fire should be increased and the damage decreased (in DW)
because is a tracking weapon, the only one that we have in this game and it doesn't feel that satisfying and idk just feels weird
Yeah i mean, it does but i think it would feel better and more satisfying with more rate of fire and less damage, just like the laser gun un quake or warfork or other games
and it absolutely would be more useful:
more rate of fire= more shots given but with less damage
im not saying that it should be like the laser gun, i mean its an ar not a laser, but just like 15 damage or 20 and a bit faster
hollow shadow
honestly that might just be the sound design
i think the damage and fire rate are fine but the firing sound could use a little punch
fast fire ar though 
prisma cypress
Maybe ur right
prisma cypress
I love tracking weapons like the quake laser gun but this one just feels weird
hollow shadow
i will say that the super shotgun sound meaty af
perfect
actually if we talkin pea shooter assault rifles
doom 2016's heavy rifle sounds way better than the eternal version tbh
hollow shadow

crimson folio
are you talking about the assault rifle

He deserves some love!
@pliant wraith bro its my favourite weapon and i think you know that cuz we duelled
but it does feels weird imo

petition to make the fast fire ar sound the regular sound?
hollow shadow
prisma cypress
petition to make the fast fire ar sound the regular sound?
@pliant wraith yes pls man
I am willing to pay
sharp plover
AR is fine as is. Lower fire rate makes it more reasonable to aim if your tracking hiccups and in general a higher fire rate with the already annoying crosshair bloom would be sad times.

@signal nest you're doing duskmare?

if you have the super shotgun & the singular shotgun and enough shells
pliant wraith
most I can do it cero miedo intruder mode
crimson folio
you can pick up the 2nd shotgun and get more ammo then the max cap
pliant wraith
I tried duskmare but only made it halfway ep 2 before I quit
even in episode 1 I died a shitton of times
and usually I can breeze through ep 1 easily with no deaths

i plan on doing duskmare intruder mode saveless in the distant future

same for ep 2 and 3 but not on duskmar

I am curious
i really want to know
his voice is smooth

Who voices Jakob?
@blazing bridge Andrew Hulshult
same guy who does the soundtrack
teal geode
Really that’s interesting I never thought he did voice work
blazing bridge
he would be the last person I would expect
I mean
his voice is super fuckin deep
in dusk
it covers the fact that he voices Jakob
pliant wraith
his voice is super fuckin deep
@blazing bridge I always thought they used a voice changer to make the voice deeper
I don't think he has such a natural deep voice
upbeat pecan
They give you a sword, ssg, hunting rifle, riveter and triple stacked ff totems right at the very start though.
It's one of my favorite levels and pretty tough but I think the way they load you up right from the start that makes intruder mode not too different.
pliant wraith
They give you a sword, ssg, hunting rifle, riveter and triple stacked ff totems right at the very start though.
@upbeat pecan I may be blind in that case
good to know for a future playthrough

Without grabbing the ssg at least it would be pretty annoying on intruder. Lots of horrors

Erebus reactor on duskmare was one of the toughest

due to all the weapons being scattered so far away from each other and the lack of ammo

Here's a blasphemy background
trail osprey
pliant wraith
Just finished my second play through
@teal geode today I finished my 7th playthrough
at least I think it's 7
can never get enough of dusk
teal geode
E2m2 just because of the atmosphere and the appearance of the wendigo I love the them to death
teal geode
I’m planing on doing a third run after I play blasphemous
pliant wraith
already planning my 8th run
teal geode
I mainly did my second run so I can get more of a feel for the monster attack patterns and placement so I can play on cero miedo better
Just so I can be prepared so I dont get my ass kicked
pliant wraith
I mainly did my second run so I can get more of a feel for the monster attack patterns and placement so I can play on cero miedo better
@teal geode the main difficulty of cero miedo lies in the increased projectile speed
and they're more aggressive
teal geode
Yes I know I played a couple levels on cero miedo that’s why I did this run for research
Because I want to get to the point of being able to play only on cero miedo
pliant wraith
you'll get there
after a couple playthroughs you get used to cero miedo
and can probably even no death run it
teal geode
I mean I only died once this run but only because of an accident
No wait that was a lie I did get cornered by a few wendigos and got killed
pliant wraith
the only level I still die at sometimes is E3M9
but that's only because of the final wave
teal geode
Yeah that’s one Is a bitch
The other ones I like to run circles on them so they infight then I’ll go in and kill the rest of them
pliant wraith
yep
I find the mortar to be quite useful in E3M9
because you need to conserve your riveter ammo for tougher waves
teal geode
Yes the rats need to die and that’s the perfect weapon for them
pliant wraith
I use it every wave xd
teal geode
Oh I like to get up close with the SSG or run around like a mad man with the rifle or crossbow
teal geode
Oh through the whole play through I use the SSG all the time it’s so Satisfying
And it’s super powerful
teal geode
And it’s good against enemies like horrors and wendigos
Or if you line it up a small group of fodder
pliant wraith
wait
I just realized you mean the whole play through
I though you mean using it in E3M9 lol
but yeah I use it a lot throughout the game but in E3M9 it's not the best weapon to pick
teal geode
I mainly use in the waves after the projectile enemy’s
Like the one with the grad wizards and Scientists
teal geode
Hmm I’ll take your advice on my next run and use the mortar more
Probably would be faster to use it then the SSG
teal geode
Well it’s got good movement, sound design, not janky physics, Memorable levels, great enemy design, fun story that doesn’t use cutscenes and good humor
There’s probably more to that list
pliant wraith
I don't see instant kill soap on this list
teal geode
That and you can flush the toilet
Oh and big john is in the game so automatically a 10/10
Oh and fucking Stephan Weyte is a voice actor in it
The man is a legend
pliant wraith
I agree
that evil laugh after finishing his post defeat lines still gives me chills

Oh and his work as Caleb in blood

It's included when you buy dusk. Not sure what exactly you mean.
mighty belfry
First i looked at the frequency of the sales on dusk bc i wanted to see if there is going to be a sale on black friday or christmas/new year. Then i saw Jan 10-15 game was free and i resarched and it said like duskworld free key on discord.
balmy sluice
That was like, 3 years ago. It was for the beta that has long since passed.
mighty belfry
Ok do you know if dusk is going to be on sale for autumn/black friday sale
balmy sluice
No idea.

Ok thank you

it probably will get a sale during black friday but i'm not sure
the game is worth every penny even full price tho imo

trail osprey
Anyone know how the music visuals with the skybox where made? https://youtu.be/DKCrkg7Kcdc
smoky prism
idk about that, but speaking of the music, i noticed in a lotta the soundtrack there seems to be a repeating motif of a distorted voice clip (or maybe its a synth) of someone going "ah ee"
you can hear it most clearly here in bleeding out at 4:01
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKCrkg7Kcdc
whats up with that?
is it a reference to a sound in the game? i dont remember any enemies going "ah ee"
also i would guess that the soundwave skybox isnt actually happening in the skybox, but a separate video put over a still scene of the game

the only wendige encounter I don't like is the wave in E3M9
it's not hard but just annoying and boring to make all of them visible
teal geode
I use the pistols or the mortar for that

dusk is the only game thats made me feel extremely weak even when i have the equivalent of a rocket launcher

@trail osprey I've just been here. It was so awesome

the crypt of flesh mightve been terrifiying, but the last parts of blood and bone feel extremely dreadfull

I had a laugh at the wendingo wave on Blasphemy
Because it's such an open space I just pulled out the machine gun and made them all vizibile running in circles
They were dumb as fuck

@trail osprey that's why I love it
it makes you feel even more badass because deep inside you're also a little bit scared

like going down a dark rusty sprial staircase as the same music plays again and again as more and more bloody creepy text is written just to take a turn and see nothing writen on the wall waiting for something to happen

indigo heron
It's weird cause my first play through I like to do it on easy to get a feel of everything and enjoy myself
And I only died like 4 times until now
At e3m5
I still haven't died a 5th

nothing wrong with that since gameplay is most important but dusk really added the journey part as a bonus
it made the game more charming and gave it more replayability

i'm gud :)))

fuck me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how many fucking waves are there fuck
i mean, i know by the score but. FUCK ME
amber sparrow
only bosses

i have to redoo this shit again?!
amber sparrow
not if youve saved
indigo heron
i was fucking on top the whole time right until the end
i saved yes
😉
but i'm going for a smoke
amber sparrow
explosion damage is the same on all difficulties so those can be a bitch
indigo heron
i need a breather
pliant wraith
the wave with the cowgirls is the last wave
after that you get the bosses and then you're done
indigo heron
explosion damage is the same on all difficulties so those can be a bitch
@amber sparrow i'm ok, after years of ut99 i did ok the first time around
pliant wraith
btw what difficulty are ya playing on
pliant wraith
aight
indigo heron
whatever
pliant wraith
nah
just play however you want to have fun
that's the most important part of video games
indigo heron
thing is that with an easy playthrough i get to memorise stuff and get aquainted with speed of everything, enemies, projectiles etc
si them i'm ok afterwards or online
my reactions are pretty ok, i just need to feel the motion of it all first
i'm not compitting with myself :))
this thing with the huge waves it's actually super cool
because i actually felt invincible right up until the end
when i forgot to check my health
but you have all you need
plenty of health and respawning items
drops
but most importantly jump pads
i'm a jumper. and combined with the fast strafe and always movind fast in circles projectiles are easier to miss. it's better to be super chaotic in movements like in an ontline game
pliant wraith
I think you struggled at the boss because the creations damage isn't affected by difficulty
so on all difficulties the projectiles hit hard
indigo heron
i actually think it was because i was sure it was over
and i left my guard down
going on like "that's what's up BIIAAACCCHHH
But I know I have a secret there
Buckle up
teal geode
Yeah those guys will get you
indigo heron
this is so epic
of fuck i'm to drunk for the final boss :)))
i did some damage. fuck knows how (i kinda know what i did. i kinda don't) that's so i dont spoil

i have to say for those that are afraid of dueling better players: Dueling better players makes you improve way faster than dueling equals cuz equals don't punish your mistakes as harshly

Got an nvidia grpahics card?
olive cloud
if you have and NVIDIA graphics card you can use geforce experience it has a feature called Shadowplay that allows you to record duels. If you don't you can use OBS. I don't use it myself but i hear it's good. @pliant wraith

tardy slate
most importantly? fighting those of higher level than you simply aint fun
for everyone ever it's better to fight equals unless they're an ass and want to smurf
like when i get my shit kicked in quake 3 going 0-15 i think to myself "you know, i could have spent those 10 minutes drinking tea or something"
knotty tinsel
There's a limit to how far above you someone is before it's a waste of time for both of you. You aren't learning shit getting smacked round by Mike Tyson
tardy slate
yeah
like yeah i can see learning when fighting someone slightly above your level because you can actually understand what are they doing
but a toddler isnt learning about wrestling by getting tossed around the room by the Undertaker
knotty tinsel
You really want someone slightly better or a bit more so you can understand what it is that they're doing that's working
olive cloud
If you want to imrpove it makes sense to play against better players. If you just want to play and don't care about getting better then play with equals. Obviously there is a limit but if you have a general idea of the basic mechanics and stradegies you're over the threshhold where you don't learn anything from getting smacked around.
i mean you can learn from playing equals as well but the learning process is slower
knotty tinsel
A poor mechanics level matchup can teach the wrong things. You make can the correct decisions but come to the conclusion that they are the wrong ones because you get outskilled every time and have no way of determining so.
Your offer to help with the recordings counters that though. If you've got someone experienced on hand to help, you can avoid poor conclusions.

I think you need to play against equal players and then gradually ascend towards higher skills
If you're a silver rank in cs and play against the highest ranked players you won't learn much
You'll just get your ass kicked
And this applies to pretty much any other sport or skill
Not just video games

yea but cs is a ´different story

how difficult is duskmare in compare to cero miedo
pliant wraith
duskmare you die in 1 hit
crimson folio
Idk never played it
pliant wraith
so even 1 pellet of a soldier or scarecrow kills you
autumn pendant
But DUSK
pliant wraith
did I mention the projectile speed is increased from cero miedo?
crimson folio

sudden plume

oblique shoal
you need to be a god at dodging
pliant wraith
I tried it but gave up halfway through episode 2
crimson folio
I wonder if thats what ultrakill must die is gonna be
autumn pendant
So, either dodge like a god
Or don't play at all
twilit wraith
no difference except 1hp?
autumn pendant
No
pliant wraith
tbh in ultrakill it's easier to dodge attacks
autumn pendant
Projectiles faster
pliant wraith
since you're more agile
autumn pendant
Probably more enemies' health too
pliant wraith
and enemies don't fire multiple small and fast pellets at once that spread
crimson folio
And you can parry if youre good enough
pliant wraith
in dusk 1 tiny annoying pellet that spread out 1 cm away from you can kill you
then again duskmare was intended as a meme difficulty and not actually a legit 1 to be completed
but if you like feeling pain go for it
oblique shoal
there's also duskworld
twilit wraith
i just think that cero miedo was too easy for a highest non meme difficulty
oh duskworld
pliant wraith
I somewhat agree
which is why a difficulty between cero miedo and duskmare would be awesome
twilit wraith
still a good game btw
crimson folio
Yeah i expected cero miedo to be harder
oblique shoal
cero miedo to me is like what should have been medium
crimson folio
Kind of my perfect difficulty nonetheless
oblique shoal
felt more fair not as easy as actual medium
pliant wraith
thing is tho
what could they add to cero miedo that would make it harder
probably add more enemies and replace weaker enemies in certain spawns with stronger ones
like replacing some mages with leathernecks or scarecrows
and make the projectile speed 120% unlike 110% in cero miedo
oblique shoal
more rats 😈
twilit wraith
maybe there's gonna be a possibility to make a mod with stronger enemies when workshop is out
pliant wraith
ever told you how E3MS is my least favorite level in the game
it's genuinely the only level I don't enjoy playing
oblique shoal
ill consider actually completing the campaign now that im playing dusk again
i never did 
pliant wraith
wait were did you last stop
pliant wraith
lol
oblique shoal
i restarted it at cero miedo
oblique shoal
i went for completionist too so sometimes i would just get stuck on levels
i will complete it tho
oblique shoal
there are ones that sound hard like the award ones
then you realize you can just
do it all on e1m1
pliant wraith
yeah the achievements are pretty lame
you can easily get the duskmare and speedrun 1 just doing E1M1
twilit wraith
the whole game be like: alright let's skip half the level

We really need a 4K textures pack. I know I may be the only one who would want that. But I would up to more than the original price for that
crimson folio
No thanks
brisk lagoon
crimson folio
But i like playing with 4x pixelization and retro pallate
brisk lagoon
Actually, real talk. If the texture pack was based on properly painted textures by the original artist, like the textures used for Half-Life's enemy renders, it might still work. Might.
teal geode
I mean if you want to play a game with modern graphics play something else dusk is a retro FPS not call of duty
Sorry I just realized that might sound rude but still
brisk lagoon
The only example I can find is the original Stukabat texture, sadly. https://i.imgur.com/iXoQxlC.png
But damn.
It's amazing how many polys you can save by being an incredible texture artist.
teal geode
Even if they wanted to make a 4K textures pack it would take a lot of work. Especially for some of the monsters
And like quake some things are better left to the imagination rather then being told out right
tepid arch
Ok thanks. I’m glad dusk has some options to make it look more modern. And I didn’t realize it would take so much work. I think I will get it. Because I absolutely love prodeus and that game is mostly pixelated anyway
tepid arch
Cool. Great.

how difficult is duskmare in compare to cero miedo
aside from the "instant death" addition, it surprisingly makes the game feel like an arcade video game
if you're used to dying in 1 hit constantly, the difficulty isn't extremely drastic
don't get me wrong - it's still hard, but at the same time still feels doable, especially if you save often

@twilit wraith try playing cero miedo intruder mode
it makes you run out of ammo a lot more
and forces more strategic play
I can do a no death run on cero miedo fine but on intruder mode I still die like 3-4 times per playthrough
twilit wraith
yep, was going to try it and enabeling retro palette to got more excitement from a game
also some achivements left
like soap stuff
pliant wraith
you'd be surprised at how much more different and harder the game is on intruder mode
now if you're an absolute masochist you can try duskmare intruder mode
twilit wraith
sounds like playing a touhou game blindfolded

but yeah
anyone who thinks base cero miedo is too easy
I urge you to try an intruder mode playthrough

I'm having an issue with running the map jam. Followed the instructions on mod.io, ran the SDK, checked the box for the map, applied, then was able to load it from custom levels, but when the level starts my mouse moves up and to the left constantly. No issue when launching the game and playing standard levels through Steam. Anyone else having similar issues?
Ahh nevermind I didn't follow the instructions to actually activate the SDK

never heard of that problem before

It goes a lil something like this

: this door seems closed, maybe if i-
Suddenly your thoughts are interrupted by the door exploding on your face, shockwave sending you back a few meters
you see a silhouette behind the rubble, and it's one that you can recognize. It's no other than...
Yahahagh
: big john what the fuck are you doing
: Nathing, DuskDood! I'm just tired of you jumping around "hup hup hup hup" all day. Stahp, it's getting annoying, yahagh
: how am i supposed to travel around then you want me to play the entirety of dusk without jumping once
: Yes, yahagh, and I'm gonna schuut you now for no reesson, yahahagh!
: hmm ok yes yes hold on
You pull out a trusty soap out of your bottomless backpack, Otherwise known as your asshole
: hey big john wanna take a soap bath
: You're bringing a soap to a gun fight? Facking cri-
You bonk the soap into Big John's face, exploding him into smithereens. It seems that he didn't know that the soap was a one hit K.O weapon
: lol
You proceed to take your jump
