Vic Vos Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) New screenshots for the upcoming DLC have been released. Looks interesting. Also, the Steam page for Year One Pass got updated with the screenshots above and a new description: Quote The Slayer’s legend grows… Your victory over Hell’s armies pulled humanity back from the edge of extinction, but it came at a cost. An imbalance of power in the heavens requires the true ruler of this universe to rise and set things right. Wage war across never-before-seen realms of the DOOM Universe, fight against new demons, and wield new abilities in your never-ending battle against the forces of evil. Spoiler >new demons >new abilities oh lawdy gimme There's also a new trailer, but, sadly, not for the DLC. New Twitch Prime-exclusive skin, starting May 21st.

Liquid Ink Posted May 8, 2020 I think the codex stated that the ARC had a base at sea, so we know where we're going in the first screenshot at least. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hunting4r2d2 Posted May 8, 2020 Looks amazing, seems like we are going to try and save Urdak in the DLC. 1 Share this post Link to post

TheNoob_Gamer Posted May 8, 2020 I'm more hyped for a pre-sequel DLC, but this looks rad. 2 Share this post Link to post
Ramiel Posted May 8, 2020 Those locations look amazing. I believe I remember the ARC having some sort of ocean-based outpost, maybe that's the oil rig-looking place. Hopefully we're going back to Urdak to recover VEGA. 0 Share this post Link to post

I figured the "imbalance of Heaven" before it implied the line was in context of Urdak's hierarchy. Not sure if the Slayer would be considered a "ruler" of the universe, but I can see how the line could also mean the Slayer. 1 Share this post Link to post

igg Posted May 8, 2020 Quote An imbalance of power in the heavens requires the true ruler of this universe to rise and set things right. 1) What do you think caused the "imbalance of power in the heavens"? Urdak space ship destroyed/invaded, Khan Maykr dead Urdak becoming an ally of hell for Argent Energy Argent D'Nur becoming red after the last hell priest was killed, I think the red color indicates Argent D'Nur lost it's sovereignty to hell or Urdak Hells losses in hell and on Earth, Icon of Sin killed? 2) The plural of "heavens" makes me wonder: Was Urdak one of many heavens? Or does it just refer to Urdak by using the grammar form "Majesty's plural"? Or does it refer to multiple areas of Urdak? 1 Share this post Link to post

I'm also still not convinced that Urdak is the real Heaven... If it is though, there are three natrual possibilities for the "True Ruler of this universe" : 1) Slayer himself (bit cheeky, but they might do it) 2) Samuel Hayden/ Samar Mayker 3) Vega / The Father As for new abilities: I...legit cannot imagine what else they will give the Slayer. I called Dash after Shadow Warrior, and even to an extent hoped for suit mounted weapons, both of which came in. Now I'm mystified, but in a good way. I wonder if they wont bring the rejected pistol back... 0 Share this post Link to post

Due to Vega the Slayer was the right hand of the father by killing false gods (Khan Maykr) and hunting the demonic horde on Earth, Argent D'Nur, Mars, Phobos and even in hell itself. 1 Share this post Link to post
NoXion Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Be interesting to see what our boy VEGA has got up to since he got left behind in Urdak, he seemed to be having a bit of an epiphany when we last saw him. With the Hell Priests and the Khan Maykr dead, I wonder who the antagonist of this DLC will be. Presumably Hell would put up some kind of organised resistance to the Slayer's efforts, I somehow think that running into stragglers and/or opportunistic ambushes just wouldn't cut it. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's most definitely whoever that voice was at the end of Urdak. My only guesses are either the Dark Lord, or the Father (who could have awakened after VEGA was left in Urdak's systems) 1 Share this post Link to post
tgawt Posted May 8, 2020 weird they released a new trailer... saw some un-used content for an elvis mancubus, hopefully thats in this months battlemode series. another prime-exclusive skin is also weird but i guess i understand. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vic Vos Posted May 9, 2020 An update is finally coming, which will bring Empowered Demons, an Anticheat for Battlemode, and other changes:https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en/article/23lmkwKjRuh9kPn6bzN6bY/update-1-preview-may-2020 Spoiler >Echelon Leveling for players at the maximum level CoD prestiges? >Denuvo Anticheat features I wonder if it'll end up banning people for using Cheat Engine in singleplayer. 0 Share this post Link to post

Vic Vos Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Update 1 is now live and people are already reporting problems concerning Denuvo Anticheat. Also, 5 new Master Levels, some, if not all, of which are apparently locked behind Twitch Prime. Cannot currently confirm as I'm downloading the update and updating my drivers.

Vic Vos Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Update 1 patchnotes have just been published:https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en/article/2zHgbzsIV8gTzFUZ75ADGx/update-1 Spoiler More interesting things about the anticheat: >Denuvo Anti-Cheat uses a kernel-mode driver >kernel-mode Oh boy. >Use of the kernel-mode driver starts when the game launches and stops when the game stops for any reason >Denuvo Anti-Cheat does not take screenshots, scan your file system, or stream shellcode from the internet People are reporting that it apparently gets installed as a Windows Service, identified as a trojan by at least Kaspersky and that the anticheat doesn't turn itself off until the PC itself is turned off. >Denuvo Anti-Cheat can be uninstalled at any time through the "Add or remove programs" dialog What it doesn't mention is that Doom Eternal apparently won't launch without the anticheat. Will try to verify these sometime tomorrow, too tired today. Edited May 14, 2020 by Vic Vos 2 Share this post Link to post
