The Dark Ages - no glory kills!

[KrZ]

Sick and tired of the forced glory kills and rainbow loot showers

Please move on from this and try something different!

[potato]

You know the glory kills are optional...

As for the rainbow stuff. Come on man. Us queers just want to love you like we love each other. No need for the tears bro. Just love.

I think a lot of people would like to see a reduced emphasis on glory kills, but I think there's enough flexibility to play in a way that minimizes their impact. At least in 2016/Eternal.

Generally, I would like to see them build the game out in a way that minimizes iframe use in general. I think it could make the game faster with less downtime. And I say this as someone who plays Eternal in a way that maximizes GK use.

They could give a melee attack that gives health and also triggers tokens for demons within a perimeter around you to simulate being swarmed during a GK without actually needing the animation, for example. That would make health resupply potentially dangerous in a similar way it is now but also make it instant.

Definitely mechanics they could consider to speed things up.

cannot wait for dark ages. there is a codex early on that describes the priests leading a doomguy and group of guards into a portal and betraying them, like they were friends and everything; leaving them there for everyone to die but doomguy. obvious that will be in the game, cannot fcking waaaait.

glory kills are no forced, you can get some health by just killing demons.

I like that in eternal you have one more reason to use it (refill your BP), maybe they will give you a new reason now to use it, and if they remove it, they should make it worth it

Agreed.

It is an insanely powerful tool in Eternal however - so much so that it's virtually impossible to ignore.

Not just for health/iframes either - it can recharge dashes, charges blood punch, stalls for other cooldowns, and more importantly procs the blood fueled rune which encourages frequent GKs to maintain uptime.

Plus there's so little risk in this game for using it that it's basically a no-brainer every time. I think they should definitely take a look at either increasing the risk or reducing the reward.

If the game will play like Hummus Macaroni said it would in one of the livestreams back then, meaning like a bulldozer IIRC, compared to a tank in 2016, and a racecar in Eternal, then if anything it might actually need more emphasis on glory kills and iframes. Being slow like a dozer needs some kind of counterbalancing if they want to keep even just hints of the push forward combat fundamentals 🤷‍♂️

increase the risk would be the best, actually the only risk is letting the enemies gather around you while you execute it.

You will glory kill ze demons and you will be happy.

Yes, those comments from the devs do worry me a lot.

Speeding the game up more than Eternal - already a fast game - is going to be too much for a lot of people. So you're probably right: there could be even more emphasis on GKs and setting up animation based iframes.

Also, do you get some iframes after a glory kill in this game? I notice that when I glory kill an enemy on an electrified floor, I can stand on it without taking damage for a moment.

You do, which is why you can buffer swapping to the chaingun and activating personal shield before iframes end and prevent any (non-aoe) damage.
