Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

Giving this a new try and I have to say there's a SERIOUS problem with chaingunners. All, including the 'common' or normal variant have been unnecessarily buffed in damage and it screws up level design by a high degree based on the presence of these units in open spaces. It is extremely frustrating ...

This is an interesting idea that will surely draw many gamers in. As of now, I see extreme balance issues with the hp allocation of aliens, with some being bullet sponges (ethereal), and some being too fragile compared to doom or xcom (mainly the floaters and mutons) *Chrysalids (demons) = 200hp ...

This is playing quite well, but a few things are sticking out so far: *Ammo scarcity issues, especially early in game. I recommend that duke starts with 100-200 pistol ammo to compensate. *hp of lower-tier units are much higher than original doom and can cause balancing issues in some maps. *the ...

Playing monochrome blue on "hurt me plenty", zero drops, and balanced custom maps like 'Whispers of Satan' is extremely good gameplay. It is harder to dodge their attacks and their hp can make ammo scarce (without drops activated), thus the 3rd difficulty fits in very well. The enemies fit in ...

This mod is outstanding! The quality of life improvements associated with medikits and armor, the visual enhancements, and of course the weapons and reload options! Pistol has its own ammo and thus a useful weapon for conserving ammo of machine gun on easy fights Submachine-gun also has its ammo. I ...

I like the new mod that allows you to play against a single color as opposed to a mix. Unfortunately, red enemies are not intended to be played alone - in groups they are game-breaking and/or unbalanced even on difficulty #2 with custom doom reducing damage by 1/3 or 40%. A shame, because some of ...

I noticed that the yellow revenant drops a blue armor too frequently even with the option of reduced item drops. That is a tremendously good item for a monster that dies with four rockets and an example of map balanced being impacted.

Purple cyberdemon was tremendous fun. What a great monster design!

I'm loving the choice to reduce item drops (and overall drops appear more balanced across the board). I'm playing with no optional monsters nor bosses but I think my original more punishing color ratio from 0.94 remained in memory, bringing a very fun and surprisingly balanced (for this kind of mod ...

I appreciate the option of slowing down experience level-ups and set it at 50%. Using a mod, I currently play on 125% damage received to balance out the extra healing, -66% damage inflicted (-80% when tome of power used) to have damage rates similar to vanilla doom (plus double-ammo), and DoomRL ...

I do not believe it is more of an ammo hog as the regular machine gun. I tested against a mancubus and the ammo consumption was similar to kill it. I believe the bullets deal the same damage, thus if you are aiming relatively well, you spend the same amount of ammo but 3X as fast. Given this and the ...

This is a very enjoyable and fairly restrained which works on its favor. If I have to share constructive criticism: Weapons: (minor)*The chainsaw's primary attack is too inferior to its [balanced] powerful secondary attack. It needs something more - either a ~50% damage increase on primary fire, or ...

I believe there is a major bug in dragon claw's tome of power's primary attack - it seems to already deal 2000-3000 damage per second in low levels (e.g. killing 2 mancubi in difficulty 5 in a fraction of a second). I have the feeling the projectiles are cutting through the target more than expected ...

Thanks for your responses, I think my remaining concern (not unique to any experience-based mod): When experience is included into a mod, it scales nicely over the first 10 levels or so (if mid-sized levels) but there is a point it begins to lose that balance and make the game progressively easier ...

Playing with Doom Reloaded (4th difficulty) and really enjoying this mod so far (with heretic monsters). However, I do think 'Colorful Hell' is a better fit, though its monster drops greatly speed up your level-ups, which may cause an issue in later levels (I will use custom doom to increase ...

I love the doom 2 weapon set, greatly balancing weapons around the [apparently unchanged] double-barreled shotgun. Feeling the regular shotgun is comparably useful allows 2 choices for shotgun ammo usage now. The chaingun is often a better weapon than super shotgun now, but given the relative ...
