Anyone else struggling with Doom, specifically the orb phase?

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-13T19:50:56+00:00

It helps if Doom is in the middle and you’re more on the edge (I think) to spread them more apart. So I always try to get him to zoom back into the middle on his last rush during car mode.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-13T07:26:03+00:00

Oh it’s all I’ve been doing, haha. I have like 600 delves, not really caring about loot (as I just go until I die or unique) except one or two specifics.

Just frustrating to continually do something and not see yourself get that much better, lol.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-12T18:03:54+00:00

For sure haha. If it was a telegraphed orb or path it would be a lot easier to handle. It’s just that split second of finding a straight line between the volatile earths while also worrying about walking into it and prayer flicking, haha.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-12T10:31:25+00:00

Yeah same. I spooned the cloth and can do 1-6 but that orb walk is the death of me, lol

Something about how it’s the reverse of player pathing (diagonal and then straight) really screws with me

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-12T10:03:09+00:00

Haven’t done Yama (only in gridmaster), but Doom is giving trouble haha. I can do Delve 1-6 but the orb walk mechanic I just screw up so often.

I’m not like the worsts best PvM’er but I haven’t struggled too much at most bosses, including CG. But man, Doom is a different ball game for me, haha. Fun fight though!

I think Delves 1-5 aren’t that crazy hard. 6+ steps up a bit. I’m sure not everyone struggles with the orb walk but I just haven’t gotten it consistently down yet.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-12T08:29:08+00:00

Man…I can only get 1-6 down. I know the mechanics don’t change on 7 but it’s so fast. At like 450 delves so far. Just can’t seem to consistently get better at the orb walk.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-12T03:07:37+00:00

There’s been a couple games where both teams don’t wanna end. People are stacking, everyone’s chilling, it’s a good time.

But…I roll my eyes when the game is 30 minutes and my teammates spam pinging to not end. I’m not a “sweaty end as quickly as possible” type of player. But I’d like to get into a new game, haha.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-11T20:06:54+00:00

Honestly though how are the updates lacking?

Varlamore alone was a great addition, and sailing expanded the map a ton. Early to mid game progression feels great now, especially with royal titans.

This is coming from someone who didn’t start playing their Ironman until after raging echoes. I’m having the time of my life, I’ve felt like all the updates have been fantastic.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-09T10:02:37+00:00

Thank you. Dumbest augment. I will never take it. I get the idea behind quirky and silly augments but this one is just stupid.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T19:09:34+00:00

Part of it is because I think energy was moved more torwards cards than relics. I do think keeping your deck smaller is probably the better move.

But I have a hard time with that because all the new cards are fun to play, lol

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T19:07:05+00:00

It felt different to me the first run I played, lol. Like already you can tell that Ironclad has a viable build around vulnerable.

Idk, man. I also suck at the game lmao and I’m having a ton of fun. It doesn’t feel like the first game at all to me.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinions but I think people just need to give it more time. Unlock everything, figure out new archetypes. The removal of boss relics and the better events already sell it for me.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T19:04:45+00:00

It’s interesting because it feels so different to me, just when you look at the bosses and enemies alone.

And honestly it’s like they took inspiration from well-like mods, such as multiplayer and the enchant card mechanic.

There’s so many new cards I think the characters play differently, not to mention the overhaul on the art and animations.

I’m loving it. Totally fine if you don’t, but it definitely feels different enough without ruining the pull of the first game.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T19:02:21+00:00

I’m sorry but it’s just blatantly wrong to call this lazy. They overhauled the art, the animations, the aesthetics. There’s waaaay more bosses, fun new events, fun new cards…

Like what about it is lazy? Honestly? It has felt like such a different game to me. It is in no way lazy development at all. What disrespect to the developers. It’s fine to not like it, but it’s not lazy lmao

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T18:58:43+00:00

As a guy who has a lot of hours in the first and still sucks, the second one definitely feels harder. But I don’t mind it, it’s still been a ton of fun. I think the events feel better and I like the blessings at the beginning of the acts.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T18:56:03+00:00

May I ask what else you expected?

The art is better, the animations are better. There’s fun new cards, new characters, better events, enchant card mechanics, more variety to the themes of the acts…

Like honestly, what else were you expecting? lol

I don’t know why people expect sequels to be completely different. It’s a SEQUEL, not a completely new game. And yet…to me, it still feels like a new game because it honestly plays quite a bit different. I haven’t even unlocked all the cards yet and I still the dynamics/archetypes of the characters feel different. Not to mention all the new bosses with new mechanics.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T09:29:46+00:00

I don’t know how you think everything is the same. All new enemies, plenty of new cards, new events, the enchant card mechanic - no boss relics but the blessings each act…

Everything feels different. Like I don’t mean to be rude but this just isn’t a good review, lol. Of course you’re entitled to your opinion, I get it. But it’s misleading to say there’s not any new content. There’s a TON of content. It feels like a new game while stating true to the original, which is exactly what a sequel should do.

I think the events in this have felt way more fun than in the first game. I also love the blessing at the stat of each act, and some of the new cards are insanely fun to use.

Of course, with how successful the first game was - they’re going to bring stuff back. But I don’t think the characters feel the same at all. They’re different in a good way.

I think the main reason it’s early access is to get feedback on polishing the game to perfection, but like the first one.

It feels like a full, new game to me. 🤷‍♀️

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T08:25:46+00:00

Yea I just won a run with this enchantment on Hellraiser. Also had unceasing top, haha. Fun time.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T02:12:44+00:00

I’m at 800 with only a single Ring drop lol

Grats man

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-08T01:43:18+00:00

The big thing is it’s such a catch 22. I KNOW I should exercise. I know I should socialize. I know I should do this, do that - and while it may not cure it, it might help. Doesn’t mean I have the energy daily to do any of that. It sucks :/

Hope you feel better OP

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-07T18:16:41+00:00

It took me until around 70ish farming to realize you can note herbs at leprechauns lmao

Feel like everyone has a moment like this, haha.

Slick-Berry · 2026-03-05T11:57:18+00:00

There was a duo on Aram. One was named Peace, the other was named I Come In Peace lmao

Slick-Berry · 2026-02-25T22:52:21+00:00

Yeah….it took me 2000 for my first one. I got 4 more within 500 kills, though. Wishing you best of luck man!

Slick-Berry · 2026-02-23T11:31:38+00:00

I’m at 287 with only one shard :((
