Welcome to The Big DoomRL Poll!

Simply read the questions and answer them in a post! Afterwards I'll make a procentual result in a post! I used the DoomRL Wiki as a source of information to create the poll. The poll contains major spoilers!!!
"F/S" means "Favourite/Suckiest".

EDIT: If you want to answer "N/A" or "Dunno" or whatever, you can now answer with "0" instead of a letter (By request of Rekenne)

Happy answering!!

My personal answers (Please answer exactly like this, so I can input the answers in my automated answer processing program):

1:E,2:C,3:D,4:A,5:A,6:B,7:A,8:C,9:B,10:A,11:E,12:F,13:I,14:L,15:B,16:M,17:B,18:A,19:C,20:B,21:B,22:E,23:N,24:G,25:B,26:C,27:K,28:A,29:9

[Titt]

1:G,2:D,3:F,4:E,5:A,6:D,7:A,8:C,9:A,10:B,11:I,12:H,13:F,14:G,15:O,16:T,17:I,18:C,19:A,20:D,21:I,22:H,23:O,24:P,25:C,26:A,27:K,28:C,29:8


1 G (chaingun is my default main weapon for at least half of nearly any game I play)
2 D (basic shotgun is a useful weapon for such a short stretch of time, end of level 1 to until the combat shotgun or chaingun is found, and useless otherwise; and even when useful it is still only marginally more useful than the pistol)
3 F
4 E (envirosuit is just not as useful as the others, although definitely a good addition to the game; I very rarely use an envirosuit outside of the Lava Pits)
5 A
6 D (magazine mod is only ever useful on the BFG, in games I play; if only you could use it on a rocket launcher...)
7 A
8 C
9 A
10 B
11 I
12 H (computer map just not as useful as the others, and frequently multiples show up on a single level)
13 F (former captains are fun to fight in both early and later stages of the game, well-balanced, a life-saver for its ammo drop when you are in Hell)
14 G (cacodemon is a frustrating enemy, I have died way too many times to them, in Hell's Arena (where they make sense, after all, you should die often in Hell's Arena) and later in the game, where they too often get the jump on me in Hell and hit me with a fireball, doing still surprisingly much damage, before I can kill them)
15 O (Necroarmor is almost always used once found, and the regenerating mechanic is fun and unique)
16 T (Phaseshift Boots are common but very rarely useful to me)
17 I
18 C (Chained Court is easy enough to be boring on difficulties less than U)
19 A
20 D
21 I
22 H (teleporters seem rarely used and rarely an important part of the game, outside of the Spiders' Lair; I wish they were a bigger part of the game)
23 O (Whizkid is probably the most fun trait, although Eagle Eye is the one that is most essential for me, in surviving)
24 P (Badass is the only trait that has never been useful to me, even in beating Angel of Masochism)
25 C
26 A
27 K (Ao100 is by far my favorite challenge)
28 C (AoDarkness is by far the boringest and most uselessly frustrating challenge, to me)
29 8

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1 I) Plasma rifle - Best direct damage weapon in game, in overcharge mode can kill multiple tough enemies in one burst
2 D) Shotgun - Shotguns not so effective as in original doom, and this is worst of them ... in most times pistol is better
3 D) Homing phase device - Lifesaver in hard situations, Arena or Mortuary far more easily with this.
4 C) Phase device - Most of times make situation more dangerous.
5 A) Damage - Damage needed for any weapon.
6 B) Reload - Reload is last stat, that need to be upgraded.
7 C) Mobility - Speed, speed and more speed. With this monsters don't shoot double times after your moves.
8 A) Durability - Increase life of armor instead of me?
9 C) Mobility - Speed, speed and more speed. With this monsters don't shoot double times after your moves.
10 A) Durability - For large lava or acid rooms I use Envirosiut or destroy walls.
11 F) Berserk pack - one of lifesavers in this game, making life far more easiest.
12 I) Backpack - good item, but in UV & N! you need all you luck for gain it, in lower difficultes you don't realy need this.
13 I) Former commando - They carry plasma rifles.
14 Q) Angel of Death - Can be killed only by closecombat characters.
15 L) Malek's armor - Regeneration ... it`s need to be in traits  ...
16 M) Minigun - May be it's good weapon, but I can find this only in my AoMr games, so ...
17 F) Hell's armoury - Three weapon mods as reward.
18 D) The Wall - in UV & N! you need all you luck for take out all enemies.
19 E) Maze of rooms - A lot of places to hide.
20 A) Arena - No place to hide.
21 B) Barrel - Good friend if you don't has a launcher.
22 H) Teleporter - Usefull only in one level.
23 J) Juggler - With this - you ready for anything.
24 P) Badass - TaN or Hr better save you life points.
25 D) Ultra violence! - I like hard games ...
26 E) Nightmare! - ... But don`t like imposible.
27 B) Marksmanship - Good idea and good traits, this game need more weapon based challenges
28 A) Berserk - fist part of game based only on you luck.
29:5 - Good game, but to different from original doom, and don't has modding possibilities.

[ParaSait]

Guys! Just something really offtopic (I don't wanna make a new topic for this), short notice:

I just found a Railgun! The Wiki said it was "THE rarest weapon in the game" and I found it! Woohoo!! I'm really having fun frying demon butt with my new little toy here!!!

OK thanks for reading, back to topic now... =)

[rekenne]

Well, really, some of the things I don't have much of an opinion on.

[Blade]

1:G,2:B,3:B,4:A,5:A,6:E,7:A,8:C,9:C,10:B,11:C,12:A,13:F,14:L,15:Y,16:M,17:F,18:D,19:C,20:D,21:G,22:E,23:E,24:P,25:D,26:E,27:K,28:H,29:9

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1 G) Chaingun - With certain traits it's the best. Not as ammo-consuming as Plasma Rifle, and at the same time not much weaker. Plasma Rifle is only for certain monsters and situations, Chaingun is for the entire game.
2 B) Combat knife - I remember myself trying again and again to reach at least somehow deep levels in Malicious Knives challenge. And I hate it.))
3 B) Large medpack - Blade + Large medpack = <3
4 A) Small medpack - It's like Large medpack, but this one is small... So annoying.(
5 A) Damage - Just best.
6 E) Accuracy - Shotguns don't need it at all. And, when playing CG game, I always have EE*2, which is enough. So never use those ones.
7 A) Durability - It grants you additional half of your armour. Or you can consider it as stronger version of armour shard if your armour is damaged.
8 C) Mobility - Never felt that those ones are changing anything.
9 C) Mobility - Boots are useless in casual situation, but with this mod they are useful even in battle.
10 B) Protection - This mod grants not enough protection to make any difference.
11 C) Invulnerability globe - Just love when I find those.
12 A) Small health globe - They are too small...
13 F) Former captain - Little fat funny 10mm ammo carriers. Like Santa Clauses.
14 L) Arch-vile - No one can be worse than that damn thing. Every one of them is a real challenge even for well-equipped character.
15 Y) Longinus Spear - Uber-weapon. Possibly it's more powerful than the Dragonslayer because of the armour increment.
16 M) Minigun - It just sucks.
17 F) Hell's armoury - Free exp and ammo. Bad that you don't need ammo at that point of the game.
18 D) The Wall - Damn hard on UV and N!.
19 C) Hellish city - Not much scenery that obstructs your FoV, and lots of items lying outside of houses without guard.
20 D) Maze - Usually big group of monsters masses in the centre of the map, and all this ends very badly if there are 1 or more Arch-Viles there.
21 G) Stairs - Without doubts.
22 E) Lava - Don't know why, but I don't like this one very much.)
23 E) Son of a bitch - Damage rules.
24 P) Badass - Huh? What does it do?
25 D) Ultra violence! - Always playing original DooM only on this difficulty.
26 E) Nightmare! - Never understood this one. Endlessly resurrecting monsters are not for me. I like when thing that I just killed remains lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
27 K) 100 - Just endless massacre. What else should I want?)
28 H) Masochism - Never was masochist.
29:9 - Arcade roguelike, what else can I say? Random levels, traits, different game every time, and quite often updates.) Cool.)

1. F) Double Shotty ! SM + HR and you are a boss here.
2. A) Fists ?! Hands are good for skinning a banana...
3. F) Thermie ! KABOOM ! Haha !
4. C) Phase device. Yeah, "escaping" into the Caco vault is fun as hell.
5. A) Damage. "Big gun is number one !"
6. E) Accuracy. With shotty, you don't need too much aiming.
7. B) Protection. Saves life, indeed.
8. C) Mobility. Is it even working for armor ?
9. C) Mobility. Running faster is always good, isn't it ?
10. B) Protection. I'm not going to swim here, thanks. And it doesn't shrug off bullets.
11. C) Invunerability ! It's nice to survive the armageddon.
12. N/A. When they give, just take and stop mumbling. A power-up is always ok.
13. P) Cybie ! Kinda sentimental.
14. G) Cacodemon. Check question 4. for details.
15. R) Jackhammer. Questions ?
16. N/A. Each unique is useful in its way.
17. L) Mortuary ! Hard, but worth the risk.
18. J) Spider's Lair. Never been here in new version, but in earlier ones it sucked. Almost no reward, and these Arachs, eight at a time...
19. B) Hellish caves. Much exp and stuff...
20. E) Arena. Oh well, no one said it'll be easy.
21. B) Barrels ! I love smell of napalm in the morning.
22. C) Corpses. Sometimes they tend to don't stay dead...
23. Q) Shottyman. This... is... my... favourite trait. :P
24. H) Eagle Eye. For what ? Just pull the damned trigger !
25. D) UV. Funny, challenging, what else to say ?
26. E) Nightmare. Much easier than UV.
27. K) Ao100. "This is madness !" "This is PHOBOS !"
28. D) Impatience. This sucks. I like eating pills when I need it, not when I get it. Bad trip, indeed.
29. Nine ! Good job, Kornel. There would be 10, but how about multiplayer ? Huh ? Huh ?! :>

1:F) It's just so fun to see demon corpses slide several tiles backwards from the impact of the double shotty. It's the reason i play DoomRL again and again.
2:I) I almost never use the plasmagun. Even with EE2 i wasn't able to kill anything in acceptable amount of time with this. It was definitely more useful in the original doom.
3:D) Nothing can save you from caves full of arachs or ambushes by viles more reliably than the homing phase device
4:E) Envyrosuits are not very useful, certainly not enough to justify using up inventory slots.
5:A) Damage mods can be applied to shotguns for terrific results...
6:E) ...while accuracy mods can't.
7:B) Protection mods are always good, since rising your armor class even by one produces visible results.
8:A) Durability mods are not of much help for me. Armor will still be destroyed after one or two levels, so why bother.
9:B) See 7
10:A) See 8, except even more useless.
11:F) Berserk packs saved my life more than once, even on my rare N! ventures.
12:G) Armor shards don't spawn when i need them, but will gladly do so just after on of my armors melts.
13:P) Cyberdemon. My favourite enemy both in the original Doom and DoomRL. It's just so fun to fight against, it never get's old.
14:O) Revenants. It's either this or mancubi, and at least mancubi can theoretically miss you. And they also emit cool sound when they die.
15:J) If not for it's name and concept, Grammaton cleric beretta wins my heart with it's ability to alternate between modes of fire. It's just great.
16:I) Oh, my hatred towards Gothic Boots deserves a book or two to be written about it . For you see, i swam through lava and fought through monsters in the lava pits and what? I found some useless boots, the only thing they did was to slow me down. A lot. That was the beginning of relationship of pure hatred. Anytime i see them now, i just blast them to obilivion to cheer myself up.
17:M) See 13.
18:K) See 16 and hear me howl in rage.
19:A) Arenas are fun. You don't have to run around to find where the exit or good stuff is. You just kill and destroy. And furthermore, i still remember how fun it was to find your own ghost in the middle of the map by stumbling into it with LS in hands and proceed to attack it...
20:D) Mazes are total opposites to arenas: you have to wander for minutes before you find an exit or the last monster. That is annoying.
21:D) Ahh, doors. They are just so cool. You can open them, you can close them. What else a human being may desire? But seriously, doors grant you a tactical advantage over most enemies, which is always welcomed.
22:H) Teleporters, the most useless thing in existence. I have never used them to any particular effect at all.
23:M) Dualgunner makes me feel like some sort of a gunslinger hero from old west, or like Dante from Devil May Cry. Both are cool.
24:P) Badass. The only trait i took exactly one time in my existence. With such a name, you will probably expect something badass from it, and what? You just get a trait that slows down the health decay. And it requires you to spend more than one level to slow it down completely.
25:C) HMP is the most balanced one.
27:B) See 23. Not much of a challenge but an enjoyable past time.
28:E) Let me keep my ammo, dammit!
29:9 At first i though about giving it a 9.462534 mark, but then i decided against it. The reduction is because of the Gothic Boots. But seriously, the game is brilliant (not to mention the only roguelike i can play without tearing my hair in frustration). Exellent work, Kornel.

Blade, DS is by far stronger than LS, didn't you forget DS's permanent effect? ;]

And thank you for the answers to the last question :)

Others, keep the results coming in -- this poll WILL have an effect on further DoomRL development if Mrazerty publishes the results.

How many active members are there on this forum for the moment (So I can decide when I've got enough answers)?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1:F (It's the manly sound.)
2:A (Even marginally useful only in AoB, and even then there's the combat knife in the first level already.)
3:B (Pain hurts. Pain off with Large Med.)
4:E (Only in one particular special level - or maybe two. Apart from that, pretty useless.)
5:A (Did I mention I love double shotguns?)
6:D (Won't go into shotguns, and damage mod is just plain more useful in plasma gun and chaingun. And I like reload mod better with BGG.)
7:A (I hate it when my armor breaks.)
8:C (Never been much a fan of speed. Can handle being slow.)
9:C (On boots, then again, speed is kinda fitting. I don't walk much in lava anyway.)
10:B (Again, I try to avoid acid and lava.)
11:H (Because I just love to know where that vault and unique are, before heading randomly to a bunch of Arch-Viles.)
12:B (Small globes have saved me on many occasions, but by the time these start to come up, I can already handle myself.
13:I (They give loads and loads of precious bullets.)
14:L (Self-explanatory.
15:B (It's a shotgun, and sufficiently frequent. What else does a guy need?)
16:I (Did I mention I'm not much a fan of speed? Well I'm even less a fan of slow.)
17:F (There's good armor, mods, and an unique more often than not. It's cool.)
18:I (Because I never figured out how to get in.)
19:E (It's fairly easy to both flee and surprise enemies. Can't say no to surprise attacks from around the corner.)
20:A (I know the nasty bug's fixed, but arenas still give me the creeps.)
21:B (I'm a fan of explosions too.)
22:C (But I hate Arch-Viles.)
23:M (I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my gun; he who shoots with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.)
24:G (The only reason I ever take this is to take Shottyman, and Shottyman makes it obsolete anyway.)
25:C (It's hard enough to give challence, but easy enough to be possible to win for me. And it gives chaingun at level two.)
26:E (I like sweet dreams better.)
27:K (I like massacring.)
28:L (I like massacring.)
29:9 (It's fun and awesome, but still has a tad room for improvement.)
