--------------------------------------------------------------

Well, MaiZure, as promised: after only four or five proper attempts, I finally landed my first UV victory. Had some nasty surprises in the first runs, so I decided to just play it safe and stick to the levels I thought I could take. Arena wasn't too much of a hassle, and I already did the Abyssal Plains on another run, so I took a chance on those again too. Spider's Lair? Uh - no. I was praying I wouldn't be dropped into an Arachnotron cave, which of course I was. Luckily, I was invulnerable when stepping in. In the end I still had to phase out of there, since I had crossed a big patch of lava to get to the stairs - and only partly while invulnerable - and they turned out to lead to the Mortuary. A big 'no thank you' right there again.
I came prepared, luckily, with enough homing phases and large medpacks to toss about. Eventually I found a Berserk pack lying close to the level 22 entrance, so I nabbed it and phased out. Level 23 stairs were only 5 tiles away, still should have phased though, but hey - entered Dis still zerking away.

In the end it didn't matter a single thing: I just started blasting away at the earliest opportunity, and Spidey started flinching from the first hit - she never even fired a single shot. A short duck-and-cover to reload, and that was that.

Got an unexpected Silver badge out of it, but that pales in comparison to the valuable insight playing UV AoMC is giving me. I think I'm gonna try some other UV game now - HNTR seems really lame all of a sudden. Thanks again to thelaptop and MaiZure for giving me a nudge in the right direction. I've found a whole new dimension of pain-filled fun, and am enjoying every second of it (:

[Delcan]

As someone who's had to move up to UV to keep earning badges... yeah, HNTR almost feels kinda lonely and incomplete now.  It feels weird going through a level and seeing just about a dozen creatures, instead of 30-40.  Congratulations!

[LuckyDee]

As someone who's had to move up to UV to keep earning badges...

Yeah, sounds familiar. It's not just that, though, and not even the fact that HNTR doesn't spawn enough monsters, the games just got boring. The first couple of levels would be make or break, and after that only severe stupidity or bad luck would end a run. The rush of playing UV is just what I needed to keep things fresh.

What would you recommend now? Standard, AoMr or AoSh?

[thelaptop]

AoMr stresses on precision striking, AoSh is slightly less precision striking.

Your call.  =)

[MaiZure]

Excellent work! Yes, it's now time to nail down the UV experience and try for the others...

Couple of observations - I've had better luck favoring extra Fin over extra SoB...also. What was the A-mod about and Eagle Eye? Maybe I'm completely missing something since I've been out of it for a little while.

Again, congratz!

[LuckyDee]

Thanks!

The last level of SoB was something I didn't really put much thought in. Speed would have probably served me better, yeah, but it didn't matter too much anymore at that point. I took EE to improve my chances to hit stuff especially when it was still outside my LOS.

Re:mods, I only found a single P and B mod throughout the entire game, which I both put to use on my armour. T-mods aplenty, and A-mods to spare as well. I slapped an A on the rifle early game bearing the hyperblaster in mind, then forgot all about it. I thought it'd increase attack speed, but now I see it improved my accuracy even more instead. Not a bad choice either, IMO.

I took a couple of runs in AoSh and AoMr immediately after this one, all of which ended in tears (not to mention strewn guts) halfway through Phobos. I realized the INT2 start was still invaluable to me, so now I'm going steadily through a normal game on an INT2-MGK build (saved on the stairs out of the Military Base, which was a lot more painful than I'd conceived). Going for UAC and Veteran Gold, which, if Thomas is right, should net me UAC and Veteran Silver as well.

[ZicherCZ]

Congratulations, and welcome to UV! :)

I'd say AoSh is a tad easier than AoMr - with the number of monsters UV generates, you'll get Shottyman at the Arena at the latest and MAD before Anomaly, if you go for that build.
If you want to go AoMr, I can recommend a MSs build. It takes a while to kick in, and you'll likely want to run-wait a lot, but once it kicks in, it's like AoMC for you only. Fun times.

Hope to see more UV mortems incoming! :)

[MaiZure]

I would also add that repeating your AoMC/UV game could easily land you Veteran Plat and you could possibly stretch Elite Plat. Those are on my todo list within the first few victories after a profile restart

[LuckyDee]

Elite requires a standard game, but Veteran should be doable in the not too distant future. On a melee build, most likely (:
