raymoohawk Posted May 3, 2022 16 minutes ago, Doomkid said: This thread has made me SO glad id were the ones crafting the difficulty settings (and their names), rather than you guys :^) This is super similar to how "stealth enemies" work, the big difference being that they're invisible the whole time, other than their attack frames and their death animation. So maybe it could be called "stealth mode"! "super stealth mode" then since they would still be invisible during attack and death. is there death match that is played in stealth mode? sounds like it might be fun :P 1 Share this post Link to post

Made me switch weapons a lot more, a fairly good addition. 2 Share this post Link to post

Just write whatever bullshit you want; it's not like most people worry about implementing their ideas. Here's one difficulty for your consideration. I didn't feel like making a graphic for it. Please, I'm playing on a toaster: every monster has a 50% chance of not spawning. 5 Share this post Link to post

CBM Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) @Gez Ok :) well here is one then "HELP! My PC is from the 90s" same as "im too young to die"... but enemies only shoots half the time and can be killed by a single pistol shot @OliveTree Cool 2 Share this post Link to post
Metal_Slayer Posted May 3, 2022 5 hours ago, CBM said: how would one actually make a new difficulty? any concrete examples and guides? I don't think there's a way of doing it other than ZDoom source ports, if you try to use Dehacked to change one of the skill levels all of the others are also going to change, unless there's a new tool I didn't heard about, but if you are a source port developer there's probably a way of working around that. But like I said, the only example that I found was Unholy Massacre for LZDoom(I actually noticed the more recent versions had that mode removed). 1 hour ago, Gez said: For this thread?

I think there are a lot of good ideas that could be implemented, but a lot of people just made shitposts and ideas that are too complex for just a skill level. 1 Share this post Link to post
Doomy__Doom Posted May 3, 2022 22 hours ago, HrnekBezucha said: I would definitely do some tweaking to how -fast works, so enemies don't get nailed to the ground, shooting. A couple mildly serious ideas on that front: 1) step counter is ignored with some form of RNG check, rather than unconditionally 2) step counter isn't ignored, but RNG for step generation is either weighted towards lower end or hardcapped at some low-ish value. 0 Share this post Link to post
LadyMistDragon Posted May 3, 2022 Better Watch Out. A difficulty that probably does slightly less damage than Ultra-Violence but forces you to play more tactically because many enemies have decent AI and you can't quite mow them down in the way you might be able to in slaughter/enemy-dense maps for instance. Except for pinkies of course. 0 Share this post Link to post
magicsofa Posted May 3, 2022 On 5/2/2022 at 12:02 AM, Metal_Slayer said: So, all the official skill levels of Doom basically go from easy with double ammo, easy, normal, hard, hard but enemies are faster, they respawn and there's double ammo.creen like all the others. I think there could be a better "medium" difficulty setting. Because the easy/normal/hard settings are actually exactly the same, except for the placement of actors by the mapper. (and the Icon of Sin fire rate, if I remember, but who cares about that) It would be nice to have a middle setting where ammo is normal, but damage is slightly reduced. It's kind of a big jump from ITYTD to HNTR, since your ammo is cut in half and your damage taken is doubled. I feel that on HNTR you should take 75% damage 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain POLAND Posted May 3, 2022 Swarmed Same as Nightmare, except: - Monsters respawn twice as fast - New monsters randomly spawn into the level (say 5 per minute random types) - Every time a monster would normally respawn, two of it respawn instead - Ammo is unlimited 0 Share this post Link to post

Sleep Deprivation Posted May 4, 2022 I hate you. Fast monsters are on, less ammo is placed on all maps, the player takes more damage, E.G Ultra-Violence. That's not all though! Backpacks aren't placed anywhere on this difficulty, respawning demons are on, and the best for last, only higher tier demons are placed in the map. 0 Share this post Link to post
Metal_Slayer Posted May 4, 2022 I don't know how people got the impression that damage gets higher depending on the skill level, the only difference is that I'm Too Young To Die has the damage halved, everything else is the same. 0 Share this post Link to post

Chezza Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I'VE GUN CRAZY!! - You start with a random weapon with full default ammo - 1 weapon limit + fists - Every weapon pickup has RNG on what weapon replaces your own - All weapon pickup sprites randomly change every second to resemble the wacky weapon mode Could you imagine the chaos and imbalance this would cause? It may result in players relying on infighting strategy more. I don't like this difficulty. Bad idea. 0 Share this post Link to post
