The return of JohnSuitepee’s request list extravaganza 2021! (REQUESTS CLOSED, FINAL LIST POSTED)

[Suitepee]

I thought I’d provide a nice surprise for the beginning of 2021: the unexpected return of my Doom request list!

 

Unlike last time, I’m a bit more prepared this time around and won’t be doing a pointless 10-minute+ video to explain myself.

 

-The basic idea is that for the whole month of January 2021, you’ll be able to request any DOOM, HERETIC and HEXEN mapset or mod for me to play on my livestream channel in this thread, providing that I haven't already played it. You can also request a mod or wad via a message on my Twitch, Twitter, Youtube or on Doomworld. (You can also message me on Discord if you know my account there.)

 

-One request per person! That means ONE! Not multiple ones at the same time, but ONE by itself! You can request your own stuff if you want.

 

-If you request a Doom mod, it MUST be with a mapset I have already played, or if the mod is part of a mapset specifically designed around the use of said mod. (e.g. Supercharge w/ Mapwich 2)

 

-DO NOT pick Sunder; it's my 2000 follower Twitch special.

 

-When you request something, PLEASE give a short explanation as to why you requested it, alongside any preferred difficulty setting (this is mainly if you’re going to request something challenging…) and, if necessary, whether I should play on continuous or pistol start. I mainly play Doom content on UV, but I’m happy to play on a lower difficulty if you think it’s a wise decision. Also provide a LINK to the mod or wad, so I can find it easier.

 

-At the end of the month all requests will be closed, and I will then go through the list on-stream to check them all at the start of February to see if they are suitable for me to play; if any requests get refused during this ‘checking’ process, the requestee will be able to request a different mod/wad.

 

-After the ‘checking’ process, a list will be posted up on my Twitch channel and on this thread and I’ll then start playing through them over the course of the next few years; if multiple people request the same mod or wad, it will receive higher priority on my list to be played first. (more people = higher up the list)

 

-If people wish to change their request over time, they are free to do so as long as they inform me what they wish to change it to.

 

https://www.twitch.tv/johnsuitepee = my Twitch.

https://twitter.com/johnsuitepee = my Twitter.

https://www.youtube.com/user/JohnSuitepee = my Youtube channel.

 

That’s right; this time I’m extending my request list to both Heretic and Hexen content, since I managed to beat them both recently. I’m also more keen to play a few more Doom mods (and TC’s) this time around, since people in my community have asked me to play more mods instead of just stubbornly sticking to Doom wads all the time.

 

To aid in the requesting process, here is a list of the Doom wads I have played before: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSd7urv5zNLJbzardV1uqm7NFWZwd27TFlOj9jf78TsfZ-m2eqcLR5EHTitauEkPWQvQUWbFjo1gfMm/pubhtml

 

And here is a list of the Doom mods I have played before:

 

·  Aetherius

·  Brutal Doom

·  Complex Doom

·  Demonsteele

·  Supercharge

·  SWWM (magusmarisa’s Cacoward winner)

·  Terminator Annihilation (SkeletronMK666)

 

I haven't played any Heretic or Hexen mapsets previously, so any and all of those are free to be chosen.

 

To prevent any additional confusion, I won’t be playing any extra Doom wad content outside of the monthly Ironmans and playtesting stream for this month, but will focus on my “other game” list (as I will be doing for most of 2021) instead.

 

I look forward to seeing what exciting requests you all come up with. 😉

 

EDIT: The final request list has now been posted on page 3. Thanks to everyone who requested stuff!

Yay I'm first - happy new year!

 

 

[Lord Misfit]

So I know I'm going with Aetherius w/ Heretic's vanilla five episodes, but I'll have to edit this post over time with other details [besides the fact I want to be sure you play it on SKILL 5 this time :Kappa: ]

 

Reason: Heretic gamemode is IMO a fair to good amount different in terms of play than Doom gamemode, for reasons I don't want to spoil. There is a Hexen and Strife gamemode too, but Suite refuses to do Strife requests for now, and Hexen gamemode is still very barebones vs the other ones, and Heretic is also the most thematically fitting overall aesthetically for Flora, based on her backstory in the mod, more so than Doom gamemode despite it being the default.

Reason 2: There are [currently] no videos/playthroughs of Aetherius being used with any non-Doom game mode besides the ones on SeriousCacodemon's Twitch channel, and I wanted THOSE game modes to get a little more streamer and/or Youtube love (and I might try to ask a couple more people to try non-Doom modes too), but as I mentioned above, Hexen mode isn't updated enough from the normal Doom mode to be worth it at the moment, and Strife mode is out of the question since Suite doesn't want to take Strife request this time, so Heretic [which's game mode is debatably the most changed from Doom's, with Strife being 2nd most changed] is the choice by default. :P

 

- Flora is the ONLY playable character in non-Doom game modes for Aetherius, so you'll have no choice there. Sorry, no Corvus class yet. >.>

- Heretics weapon's [besides the Gauntlets & Staff] will appear and are usable by Flora, due to them being more medieval and magically inclined weapons as Flora prefers, over Doom's firearms and more "complex" mechanical weapons. A couple of exclusive weapons to Heretic mode outside of the game's default weapons also will appear... eventually. >.>

- Jumping/Crouch should be forced on, again more for maneuverability and combat dodging purposes, not so much as sequence breaking. :P

- Tomes of Power, Torches and Wings of Wrath don't spawn [other things spawn in their place, which I will not spoil], due to flight and light spells being available, and as for the tome, you'll learn quickly why that's not necessary when you play. :V

- Many Heretic monsters, like in Doom-mode, do have "evolution" versions [aka species based monster-randomization], even your dearly beloved Iron Liches. >:3

- Timebombs are now Rockbomb Shards

- Quartz Flasks/Mystic Urns are still around, and the latter can recover mostly beyond 100% health/stamina, Flasks can also recover to 112.5% max health.

 

As for gameplay options: 

- Aetherius Options > Cheat-Like Options > Level EXP Gained [%] > 34

- Aetherius Options > Cheat-Like Options > Sceptre EXP Gained [%] > 34

- Aetherius Options > Flora Armor Drop Kill-Points Factor [x] > 2.0

- Aetherius Options > Monster Stat Calculation Options > Level Difficulty Inflate [#] > 25

- Aetherius Options > Monster Stat Calculation Options > Level Difficulty Inflate [%] > 10%

- Aetherius Options > Monster Stat Calculation Options > Level Stats Factor [x] > 1.25

- Aetherius Options > Flora-Specific Options > Thrown Needle Type > Auto-Replenish on Impact [Costs MP]

- Aetherius Options > Flora-Specific Options > Heretic > Phoenix Rod Flamethrower Mode > Auto-Reload when Flames Deplete

- Aetherius Options > Perks/AeonPts Options > Kills Needed to get an AeonPt > 768 [Hard] 

- Aetherius Options > Perks/AeonPts Options > Secrets Needed to get an AeonPt > 16 [Hard] 

- Aetherius Options > Perks/AeonPts Options > Items Needed to get an AeonPt > 512 [Hard] 

- Aetherius Options > Perks/AeonPts Options > Perk Cost Ratio [%] > 175 

- Aetherius Options > General Difficulty Modifier > 0

- Aetherius Options > Night Vision Mode > On

- Aetherius Options > Allow Jump > On

- Aetherius Options > Allow Crouch > On

- Aetherius Options > Allow Freelook > On

- Aetherius Options > Display Nametags > Both

- Aetherius Options > Nametag Color > (whatever color you feel fits and is easy to see)

- Aetherius Options > Enable Textured Display > On

- Aetherius Options > Show Things as Sprites > Rotated

 

Also wanted to add a slight extra for music: Xeotroid's Heretic music pack, found at https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=48937 under "Game Covers", specifically the version of Heretic's music for [G]ZDoom/Zandronum.

 

----------------------

 

Alternatively, if for some reason, Suite considers it still to be "too similar" to previous plays of the mod, I suppose I'd have to recommend ArgonianLord's "Sitnalta" mapset for Heretic as an alternative request.

 

Reason: promoting a Heretic mapset that's less known of [in these current years], and something one of my friends made earlier in his Heretic/Hexen mapping career. I'd consider one of his later and more polished mapsets, but most of those are HEXEN mapsets, and while they also have bits and pieces of lore scattered throughout them, there's a certain order to his series lore, and Sitnalta is considered one of the gaiden parts which focuses on Corvus instead of the three classes of Hexen, so it can be played separately from the others in any order. :V

 

That said, though it is only a one episode mapset, the levels are all fairly lengthy, and this is one of his earlier mapsets, so some "where the hell do I go" syndrome will be possible, since there is no ACS scripting for things like cameras to indicate what some switches in certain maps do, but there IS a custom final boss and some interesting map architecture here. :V

[Jaws In Space]

Kama Sutra!

 

Ultra Violence, Continuous.

 

Why? Because it's the last of the early 2000's HR inspired Megawads & IMO better than the other 2, those being Hell Revealed 2 & Alien Vendetta.

[Forli]

Can I request my own map set?

Uv and pistol starts I guess. But that's not necessary.

[DerTimmy]

I would request this:

 

Its my first finished Doom 2 wad with new weapons and a mapset (read the spoiler about the weapons and how they work). I  didnt had much feedback on it so it would be nice to see someone reviewing it :)

 

I would request to play it on UV (there is one additional map after beating it on UV). There is an brutal doom monsters addon which is optional and the hitscanners in the first few maps can hit pretty hard. But the extra gore can be pretty nice :D

 

So:

-On UV

-with Brutal Doom Monsters addon (comes with the wad) but turn on vanilla monsters (BDMonsters Options - BD Level Options - Vanilla Monsters Yes)

-continues

I guess to join the list of those tempted to inflict pain and suffering from their own creations, I will suggest this.

UV recommended, whether you pistol start each map is up to you.

[Capellan]

I'd request SPECTRUM, but you already played some of it for IronEagle 23.  It's not on your list though so maybe it's still an option?  And my reason is the selfish one that I'm very proud of it and want people to see it :) 

 

Difficulty setting is up to you.  Maps were designed for pistol start as primary focus, but continuous is certainly an option if you prefer a more relaxed time.

Just to re-iterate from the OP, people are free to request their own mapsets or mods if they so wish.

[AD_79]

Requesting a playthrough of 1000 Lines 2. It's a decently short and (mostly) breezy set, taking me just a few hours to run through it, so I think you'd get some enjoyment out of it. Additionally, I'm pretty satisfied with both my mapping and musical contributions to it, heh.

 

UV is more than manageable I think. Pistol start vs continuous is up to whichever you'd prefer, as I think it works well enough either way.

[Scotty]

ABANDON all hope Suitepee.

As the OP states, provide a link, a desired difficulty option and a short reason for your choice. :)

Struggle: Antaresian Legacy pls? Continuous run preferably on UV. It's a real adventure from what I've heard, and may or may not be very difficult. I haven't completed it myself, but I think it would make a great playthrough. Really cool maps and custom enemies. Also, try the secret levels too. Probably works best with PRBoom+ or ZDoom on Boom Strict, not sure about GZDoom though.

[joepallai]

Always interested in watching Hellrun videos (UV or HMP) because I'm obsessed with this map.

I've already played through Struggle a few years ago, as the link in the OP of Doom wads I've already played showed.

Hi, requesting my mapset.

Pistol Start, play on UV.

Oh, really? Well, have you tried Revolution? I'd recommend the same settings, but I will say that Revolution is much easier. I also recommend the MIDI pack, and using PRBoom+/ZDoom. It's also got a cool story that the DeHackEd entries describe when you have the MIDI pack.

If you mean Thomas van der Velden's Revolution! (aka TVR!), then I've also played that in the past as well.

Damn. Here's one, Entropy. It's a really hard but really cool golden and orange single map and I don't remember where the download link is, but it already has a Doomwiki article. Use ZDoom/PRBoom+, since it's a Boom map. It also may or may not lag your computer too. I never finished it, only played it for a minute and forgot about it, so I don't know much about it.

crisis averted

[Snaxalotl]

Happy new year! Here's a neat map I made c:

 

 

GZDOOM, UV, And make sure you've got those fancy dynamic lights on!

[Lucky_Edie]

Dimensions map02. HNTR.  It is my favourite map and also my first ever doom demo. There is some platforming so if that's a no go then feel free to skip it. 

Map 02 on HNTR for an average player will take about 45-60 minutes.

 

The whole wad is great but map 31 doesn't have difficulty implemented and map32 is a bit scary so I'd suggest skipping those even if you play maps 1-3.

 

MrZzul has made some impressive maps but people are generally too scared to play them, even when HNTR is implemented and a lot of fun imo.

[Alfredo]

Sunder Map32. Any difficulty is fine. :)

Edited January 1, 2021 by Alfredo

[tourniquet]

Decisions, Decisions....

Alrighty, 2 choices either fcff Map07 on HNTR or Nefertiti

I leave it up to you :)

 

Ok, just noticed your request for an explanation in the OP, so here's my reasoning. fcff07 is, in my humble opinion, one if not the most striking maps Ribbiks has ever made. Something that tosses a lot of the standard doom conventions, we are familiar with, away and provides such a bizzare/different experience, that everyone should witness at least once. Nefertiti is just a backup in case you reject. It's a cool not very challenging set with a lot of fancy zzzv music.

Come on, how a bout a bit more creativity. Picking Aetherius for a third time is one thing but just as with Hellbound it's boring to watch the same stuff over and over again. What about playing it with Faithless, The Wayfarer anything that isn't Vanilla Heretic again, he just finished playing it.

I should perhaps have mentioned in the OP that Sunder is my "2000 Twitch follower" special where I will revisit Sunder from map 15 to beat at least one map, so therefore nobody should pick Sunder.

 

Feel free to choose something else while I update the OP.

[Deadwing]

 

If possible, ofc >.<

You should do fine in UV, IMO.
