NEW ENEMY - INFERNAL WHIPLASH || DOOM Eternal

[@Allstin]

I like how its a tradeoff - destroy the shield with remote detonation (good use for it!), weaken her defense but buff her offense!

@Blooky UwU kinda

[@themindfulmoron3790]

@Blooky UwU Ye. As far as I'm aware, Whiplashes and Summoners (and by extension Spirits) are the only female demons in the Doom games. Doom 3 has a few more, but it's kind of its own thing.

[@Kraemology]

The Good: The player can choose which version of the whiplash to engage. ID started leaning that direction with the armored baron and seeing this makes me wish it was more of an archetype. The Bad: The shield itself. If remote det is the toggle, I think giving the whippy an armored front or a front-facing shield would better suit it. Overall: Cool

[@SarahSchlongfeel]

I think the idea was just to give the player incentive to use remote det in general, as lock on is a lot of players' go to for whippies. It would force them to mod swap mid fight or think of another way to handle the situation and break out of their comfort zone. Plus we already have riot soldiers and pinkies, which both fill that role. It's good to change it up. My only negative is that the shield just seems way too huge and isn't very aesthetically pleasing. Kind of looks pretty stupid if I'm being honest lol.

[@dtsyt82]

@@SarahSchlongfeel I agree it looks wonky but the visual of the shield itself is the least important aspect of this prototype since it can easily be changed and improved without it affecting gameplay.

[@SarahSchlongfeel]

@@dtsyt82 I agree it's the least important part. And you're certainly not going to miss this demon in the heat of battle lol. Stands out for sure.

[@jairoeternal8760]

cool af, looks like an enraged enemy from ultrakill when you break the shield

[@rifted6765]

That exactly what I thought when I saw it

[@erykzysk3330]

Alright, who gave Delta access to cocaine again? Just kidding, I like these custom enemies.

[@JohnCena-fp4qg]

I dig the idea of shield, but when broken the enemy is buffed What made you choose remote det to be the tool to do it?

[@vmxkarelyn_0842]

Your profile pic is fucking glorious

[@SarahSchlongfeel]

I think it's because lock on is a lot of player's go to for whippies. It might encourage players to try something new, even if that means they have to swap mods mid battle. With more than one of these girls, that could pose a problem if the only way they know to deal with them is lock on.

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

@@SarahSchlongfeel I mean they can just remote det and then still swap to lock on right? Whiplash spectres already force players away from using lock on on them

[@SarahSchlongfeel]

@@Mrcryptidsarereal that's why I said they would have to swap mods mid battle if they wanted to use lock on. But that strategy wouldn't be as effective if there were multiple whiplashes, especially if they were spawning multiple in increments of 10-20 seconds or so. Yeah the spectre whiplash already does that but I think this can be a version that is more visible.

[@thespikiestmolded4057]

@@SarahSchlongfeel Yeah but lock on prob still better cause the insane dps will just shred even with damage reduction

[@maxgoldstein7202]

Big man is back, this looks so cool

[@goofywannabegamers5005]

I like the idea of a dynamic enemy that changes from tanky dude to fast damage dealer, but why the Remote Detonate specifically that does it? This feels like a cheap way to get people to use remote detonate more.

[@TheSwordofFlames]

That's fair, but Id themselves did that with Spirits. That being said, I use microwave beam a lot more now.

[@zachzorlac9839]

@@TheSwordofFlames yeah but it wasn't good when they did it either with the spirit and stone imps. having options was a good part of the combat

[@haarisbutt2075]

@@zachzorlac9839 Well they did adjust what stone imps were vulnerable to so you could use more weapons to kill them. As for spirits, I don't mind it too much as they're, one: used sparingly. Two: don't really try to attack you; you just have to worry about demons around you and faltering/freezing them. And three: it makes you conscious of your plasma ammo usage/chainsaw pips which can force certain people out of comfort zones and force them to experiment with more of their utility.

[@dtsyt82]

Everyone seems so focused on the visual aspect of this but that's the one thing that is easiest to adjust.

[@zandy6499]

the closest mythological creature I can think of for a defensive serpent is the Gorgon you could call them that and give them crazy glowing eyes

[@zandy6499]

also you might as well make that shield weak to micromissiles, no one uses those lmao

Hella fucking sick. I love the balncing destroy the shield but it gets buffed! Very interesting puzzles to be had with this enemy

[@vtapiavoid]

i love when the community does amazing stuff like this, I love it!!!

[@mpk25069trz6969]

cool stuff as always

[@ControllerQuickSwaps]

This is so unbelievably cool 😶

[@WaxTheDolphin]

just what we needed :D

[@LegendaryITA]

Ah yes, my biggest fear, infernal whiplash

[@XenoJace]

Either deal with the tanked damage directly, or bite the bullet at the risk of the speed boost. Seems interesting! I would love to see more

[@Ghost_Text]

Well theres the answer to Mayo on the lack of remote det

[@EustaBAracer]

Yes, whiplash needs more love

[@kuddlykraken2157]

Kaiser Campaign ACT 3 gonna be lit

[@CloroxBleach-yb3ox]

Really cool idea

[@moomoodeadcow]

Just give us back the proper lost souls.

[@zachzorlac9839]

seems like it's just difficult for the sake of being difficult it should be like an armored baron where the shield can be popped if you hit him at the right time

[@borgar1765]

sounds awesome. though I think the shield effect could stand to be a little smaller

[@destinationjazz3403]

This is probably the only way I can see the whiplash demon being added to Battlemode 2.0 is if it’s the Infernal Whiplash otherwise there’s no point in adding him bc he’ll just be an easy target for the slayer 😎👍

[@yabo218]

Whiplash on drugs be like

[@tyranidhive8575]

Am I the only person who feels like the shield is a bit too big and bright, I feel like it’d kinda block my sight if I was fighting something bigger Also cum shield

[@asais1024]

It's good, albeit the particles shouldn't be that intrusive, and outline or a recoor would work fine

[@vVictorNos]

that looks so cool

[@lazarus3273]

SO curious - how much advancement in the current modding tools will be needed for full blown custom levels, enemies and weapons? Watching the mods coming out getting more and more advanced with the things that are being modified, and I am beginning to wonder what hard llmit will be. EDIT - Nice work, btw.

[@abdelrahmankhaled8239]

it's a cool idea but the shield is a bit too big. this will negatively impact overall visibility because in a normal arena you're not just 1v1ing it

[@elibrainless90]

would it be possible to make the shield not so big and werird? i love it so far from a gameplay perspective but not so much from a visual

[@Rspookster]

How about the hellbent whiplash (Loved the enemy btw)

[@eliaspatrikis1926]

Does the shield remaining after death do anything like projectile damage is reduced if you shoot through it?

[@Dondlo46]

nice but that shield kinda blocks the view for other stuff, maybe little bit of transparency is better

[@Kaiserwill]

How do you account for these in Encounter managers? Clearly you've binded a particle effect and a shootable trigger to it, but that means that you spawn this enemy in via it's IDai2.

[@averageeughenjoyer6429]

The shield kinda makes it hide other enemies

[@M.A.R.S.]

The shield looks like a bit much. Maybe if it was smaller

[@oddtomato1049]

I was playing your TAG 1 campaign, but sadly The Holt does not work anymore. Is this a bug on my end, or did the updates change how the Holt functions? Because the earlier levels work just fine.
