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.)

1-I used to have the PR and CG as my favs, but now I use pretty much anything depending on the situtation. 
2-Shotgun:Combat shotgun and Double shotgun make it worthless.
3+4-They all have their place.
5-Damage-Nothing like dishing out more punishment ;)
6-All useful.
7+8-Durability and Protection are on par with me...Mobility not so much.

11-Everyone likes a megasphere.
12-They all have their place.
13-Former Captains:Bullets everywhere!
14-Revenant:I hated them in FPS doom...and that will not change here.
15-I'm split between the two, Malek's armor regens and allows you to move fast, Missile launcher pwns large groups of foes easily.
16-Necroarmor:Always thought it was to counter-productive.
17-The wall:You might think I'm crazy, but I love the wall.  Its fun.  When you have ammo.  And know how to win it.
18-Yes...thats right...I hate the surface.  I'm afraid of the sky :O
19-Hellish city:Great for cateye.

1: C - Pistol
I think the Chaingun is the best weapon in the game, but my favorite is the pistol. I really like playing the Marksmanship challenge game for that reason.

2: I - Plasma Rifle
They just eat through ammo too much. I can't carry enough ammo to make them worth while. I always use the chaingun instead.

3: B - Large Medpack
These keep me alive. :)

4: 0 - I like all items
I am a packrat. I want to have at least one of each item at all times.

5: A - Damage
Kills things faster

6: E - Accuracy
I use traits to help me hit better.

7: A - Durability
Makes the armor last longer.

8: C - Mobility
I just think the other two are better. *shrugs*

9: C - Mobility
Mobility always helps. The other two only help when you are in acid/lava.

10: B - Protection
I would rather have my boots last longer or move faster.

11: C - Invulnerability
This is a really tough choice, but I have to say that I am always happiest to see invulnerability. Honorable mentions go to Megasphere, Supercharge, and Backpack.

12: 0 - None
They are all very welcome in a game.

13: F - Former Captain
They keep my changun and pistols fed. I really like seeing Former Captains.

14: L - Arch Vile
I put Arch Vile here because they scare the crap out of me, but that is what makes them an excellent enemy and a good challenge. I rate them as suckiest because they are the enemy I most dread running into, not because I dislike them.

15: L - Malek's Armor
Makes you speedy and regens so you don't need to carry as much spare armor around. Honorable mentions go to Blaster, Nuclear Plasma Rifle, and all the pistol uniques.

16: M - Minigun
Meh. It burns through to much ammo and a modded chainun is better.

17: B - Hell's Arena
It is a fun challenge early in the game.

18: K - The Lava Pits
Never seems worth it to me. You have to carry around enviro suits to get through it or use up lots of healing.

19: E - Maze of rooms
The rooms sometimes make it so you can take this level a chunk at a time.

20: D - Maze
Big piles of baddies in the middle of the map = yikes!

21: I - Wall
These keep the enemy from shooting me until I want to face them. Honorable mention goes to water. If I kill an enemy in water, an Arch Vile cannot raise it. Also Stairs. Knowing where the stairs are is always comforting.

22: A - Acid
It hurts. And enemies do not kill themselves on it anymore. :(

23: M - Dualgunner
My favorite way to play. What can I say, I am a sucker for theme and cinematics. Most used traits are probably EE, SoB, Ironman, Fin, WK.

24: P - Badass
Yes, there are certain challenge games in which it is useful, but that is it. I would never ever take it in a normal game.

25: D - HMP
Difficult, but still kind enough that you can regularly win. I also really like UV, but it often ends in death, especially in Marksmanship games.

26: A - ITYTD
My first game of DoomRL was ITYTD and I got so bored I quit on dlvl 15. I hadn't seen anything new in so long it became tedious. I didn't know I was on the verge of seeing more difficult things. My next game was NTR and that game hooked me.

27: B - Marksmanship
No contest. You probably could have guessed this was coming.

28: H - Masochism
This game is really, really hard for me. It seems to be mostly luck whether or not you can win.

29: 9 - Excellent!
DoomRL is certainly in my top 3 roguelikes. It is tactical, challenging, immersive, and relatively short.

[Blade]

Well, Mrazerty, maybe you will publish the results?)

[ParaSait]

Maybe, but you think there are enough answers yet? Insufficient answers give inaccurate results =/

[Blade]

Ok. Then we just draw some attention to this topic, and that's good.)

[gunpsycho]

My personal answers

1 G - The chaingun is my main gun for more than half the whole game.
2 D - I remember playing the game, and I find the shotguns in DoomRL not as effective as the ones in Doom.
3 F - My favorite item for taking out everything, though I only use it on the Cyberdemon... or Carmack if I can get past Cybie with it.
4 E - I almost never use these, but they're usually not there when I REALLY need them.
5 A
6 D - If only I could use that on a rocket launcher...
7 A
8 C
9 C
10 B
11 I - It REALLY sucks for me that it's only in a secret level, though.
12 H - Those things aren't as useful, though I like how they show the item locations as well as the map.
13 F - I like that they drop their chainguns whenever you kill them.
14 L - And I thought those fireball-spewing monsters were bad.
15 0
16 0
17 F - Free ammo and three weapon mods, that's all I'm willing to say.
18 D - That's the only level where you can find the backpack in, and it's heavily guarded too... especially in UV and N!
19 E - I can hide just about anywhere
20 A - A room without walls, especially in the deeper levels = world of hurt
21 B - Great for blowing up walls without a launcher.
22 H - I very rarely ever use these.
23 H - I usually max this out first in the higher difficulties
24 P - I don't see any real use for this
25 D - Call me a masochist... but I like playing at the hardest difficulty setting possible...
26 E - But not skill levels that are impossible
27 K - I personally enjoy playing games with tons of levels
28 A - I can barely hit crap with my fists
29 8 - It's kind of like I'm playing doom again... despite dying all too often.

OK, I decided to publish the results of this poll the first weekend of September (remind me if I forget!) so everybody still has time 'till then to answer the questions.
After the results are known this topic will not be closed yet, but it will be used to discuss some stuff (mostly about balance). Sounds OK?

1: Chaingun always ends up being my staple weapon, at least for the early game.
2: I've never gotten the hang of the rocket launcher - too slow to reload. The missile launcher is awesome though.
3: Large med-pack is a lifesaver, of course.
4: All of them have their uses
5: Damage of course, followed closely by reload.
6: A quick reload is usually better than another shot in a tight spot.
7: Armor is damaged quick, and every little bit helps.
8: Mobility is nice to have but protection is better for armor.
9: Mobility is much better on boots as you're almost never in lava.
10: For when you are in lava, protection is much better.
11: The map is so handy for finding the exit, other powerups, items, etc...
12: Not worth the risk usually.
13: Arachnotrons are fun to fight and there's strategy in handling them - do you get up close (where they're harmless) or stay away?
14: I have died so many times to revenant missiles.
15: Huge armor rating + speed + self-repair = fantastic item, even with the life drain.
16: I don't like the rocket launcher as it is, and one with a questionably useful ability and that can't be modded just doesn't seem useful.
17: A good fun challenge for the early game.
18: Just a waste of time and health.
19: Usually easy to navigate and get to cover.
20: Just annoying to find the exit, and it's easy to get blasted around corners.
21: It's easy to control enemies using doors - not everything can open them.
22: Teleporters just seem dangerous as you don't know where they'll take you (into the middle of a lava pool, for instance!)
23: Eagle Eye is just useful for everyone (except maybe shotty users), and unlocks two other awesome traits.
24: Badass isn't as bad as it's made out to be (even one level has a noticeable effect on health decay) but there's just better traits out there. I'd like to see it increase power-up duration or something.
25: UV is a big challenge, it took me many many tries to get anything more than a half win.
26: I wouldn't lower myself to playing ITYTD. :P
27: Playing with pistols is just fun.
28: Never played it but the idea just doesn't appeal to me - it sounds needlessly frustrating, and I like the idea of challenges that require the player to come up with new tactics.
29: Very fun game and very doomy too - I'd like to see more challenge modes, monsters and unique items.

[ParaSait]

Okay, I'm now trying my best to get these results ready. Let's say I'm approximatly 85% done, I will complete the rest tomorrow and post the results.
But jeez, the work is much bigger than I thought and my thumb and little finger now really hurt of pressing Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. I would appreciate a small applause a soon as I get this ready =D

THE RESULTS

Here are the DoomRL Poll results! After this post, this topic will only be used to discuss the results; New forms will not be valid anymore.

1/2) F/S weapon?
 F)
   A) Fists:            ------------------------- 0%
   B) Combat knife:     ------------------------- 0%
   C) Pistol:           ###---------------------- 13.34%
   D) Shotgun:          ------------------------- 0%
   E) Combat shotgun:   #------------------------ 6.67%
   F) Double shotgun:   #####-------------------- 20%
   G) Chaingun:         ##########--------------- 40%
   H) Rocket launcher:  #------------------------ 6.67%
   I) Plasma rifle:     #------------------------ 6.67%
   J) BFG 9000:         ------------------------- 0%
   K) Chainsaw:         ------------------------- 0%
   0) No Opinion:       #------------------------ 6.67%
 S)
   A) Fists:            #####-------------------- 20%
   B) Combat knife:     #------------------------ 6.67%
   C) Pistol:           #------------------------ 6.67%
   D) Shotgun:          ########----------------- 33.33%
   E) Combat shotgun:   ------------------------- 0%
   F) Double shotgun:   #------------------------ 6.67%
   G) Chaingun:         ------------------------- 0%
   H) Rocket launcher:  #------------------------ 6.67%
   I) Plasma rifle:     ###---------------------- 13.34%
   J) BFG 9000:         ------------------------- 0%
   K) Chainsaw:         #------------------------ 6.67%
   0) No Opinion:       ------------------------- 0%

- Chaingun seems to be the most loved weapon. Logic, because if you want to do game without any self-challenging intentions, this is your primary weapon for, like, 75% of the game.
  The suckiest weapon is definatly the shotgun. Weak damage, unless shot from REALLY close, and you have to reload after every shot... The shotgun should need less damage loss with range!

3/4) F/S item?
 F)
   A) Small medpack:        ------------------------- 0%
   B) Large medpack:        ##########--------------- 40%
   C) Phase device:         ------------------------- 0%
   D) Homing phase device:  ######------------------- 26.68%
   E) Envirosuit:           ------------------------- 0%
   F) Thermonuclear bomb:   ######------------------- 26.68%
   0) No Opinion:           #------------------------ 6.67%
 S)
   A) Small medpack:        #####-------------------- 20%
   B) Large medpack:        ------------------------- 0%
   C) Phase device:         ######------------------- 26.68%
   D) Homing phase device:  ------------------------- 0%
   E) Envirosuit:           ########----------------- 33.33%
   F) Thermonuclear bomb:   ------------------------- 0%
   0) No Opinion:           #####-------------------- 20%

  
- Competing with Homing phase device and Thermonuclear bomb, the Large Medpack is the best item. There is no better life saver!
  Envirosuit is the most useless item. No sane player would just take an acid/lava bath, he will always try to find a way around. It's only really useful in The Lava Pits. Someone also did a good suggestion
  that it should protect the player from acid ball attacks from monsters.

5/6) F/S weapon mod?
 F)
   A) Damage:           #######################-- 93.33%
   B) Reload:           ------------------------- 0%
   C) Speed:            #------------------------ 6.67%
   D) Magazine:         ------------------------- 0%
   E) Accuracy:         ------------------------- 0%
   0) No Opinion:       ------------------------- 0%
 S)
   A) Damage:           ------------------------- 0%
   B) Reload:           #####-------------------- 20%
   C) Speed:            ------------------------- 0%
   D) Magazine:         ##########--------------- 40%
   E) Accuracy:         ######------------------- 26.68%
   0) No Opinion:       ###---------------------- 13.34%

  
- Well, I think this is pretty clear! If you think of the word "Weapon Mod", automatically your first thought would be a damage improver. Same goes for DoomRL it seems!
  The most useless mods are Magazine and Reload. Reloading takes a fairly short time in DoomRL, so seriously, who really needs those? Magazine is only useful for the BFG9K, during the Cybie battle.

7/8) F/S armor mod?
 F)
   A) Durability:       #############------------ 53.36%
   B) Protection:       ########----------------- 33.33%
   C) Mobility:         #------------------------ 6.67%
   0) No Opinion:       #------------------------ 6.67%
 S)
   A) Durability:       #####-------------------- 20%
   B) Protection:       ------------------------- 0%
   C) Mobility:         ################--------- 66.66%
   0) No Opinion:       ###---------------------- 13.34%

  
- Durability is the most loved one. Because we all feel really sad if our Red Armor gets destroyed =)
  Mobility, really, who the hell needs that? The improvement you get from is even hardly noteable...

9/10) F/S boots mod?
 F)
   A) Durability:         #------------------------ 6.67%
   B) Protection:         ########----------------- 33.33%
   C) Mobility:           ###############---------- 60%
   0) No Opinion:         ------------------------- 0%
 S)
   A) Durability:         ##########--------------- 40%
   B) Protection:         ###########-------------- 46.64%
   C) Mobility:           ------------------------- 0%
   0) No Opinion:         ###---------------------- 13.34%

  
- For Boots, however, mobility is the greatest mod! Because standard boots have no real profit, unless you like walking into hazardous terrain types, and they can only slow you down. So why not make them more
  mobile?
  The suckiest boot mods are Durability and Protection. Boots are rarely damaged a lot, most player always keep them at about 90%, so SERIOUSLY, Durability can only waste your mobility slot...

11/12) F/S powerup?
 F)
   A) Small health globe:     ------------------------- 0%
   B) Large health globe:     ------------------------- 0%
   C) Invunerability globe:   ########----------------- 33.33%
   D) Supercharge:            ------------------------- 0%
   E) Megasphere:             #####-------------------- 20%
   F) Berserk pack:           ###---------------------- 13.34%
   G) Armor shard:            ------------------------- 0%
   H) Computer map:           #####-------------------- 20%
   I) Backpack:               ###---------------------- 13.34%
   0) No Opinion:             ------------------------- 0%
 S)
   A) Small health globe:     #------------------------ 6.67%
   B) Large health globe:     ###---------------------- 13.34%
   C) Invunerability globe:   ------------------------- 0%
   D) Supercharge:            ------------------------- 0%
   E) Megasphere:             ------------------------- 0%
   F) Berserk pack:           #------------------------ 6.67%
   G) Armor shard:            ###---------------------- 13.34%
   H) Computer map:           ###---------------------- 13.34%
   I) Backpack:               ###---------------------- 13.34%
   0) No Opinion:             ########----------------- 33.33%

  
- The invunarability globe rocks! It gives you the opportunity to escape from crappy situations, or score some melee kills even when you aren't trained for it.
  Most people seem to have no opinion on the suckiest powerup.

13/14) F/S enemy?
 F)
   A) Former human:          #------------------------ 6.67%
   B) Former sergeant:       ------------------------- 0%

- The favourite enemy is the former captain; Naturally because if you kill one, you are rewarded with the favourite weapon!
  And the suckiest: ARGH IT'S THE ARCH VILE! Pretty obvious, I assume? ;)

- Best unique seems to be the holy, super rare Malek's Armor. You can praise your self happy when you find this one!
  The suckiest unique are the Butchers Cleaver(Gah, it's just... an improved knife) and the minigun(Which can't hit the broad side of a barn!).

- Hell's Armoury rocks! THE ideal shopping mall for useful stuff that you didn't fetch (enough) on normal levels.
  The most dreaded levels are The Wall and The Lava Pits. The Wall is for people with a death wish, The Lava Pits... just... suck. Surprisingly, the mortuary seems not to be hated at all!


EDIT: Forgot to comment the Suckiest Enemy. It's now fixed.

   E) Maze of rooms:     ------------------------- 0%

- The favourites are Hellish City and Maze of Rooms. That first one really gives people the thought that they are destroying the homes of those oh-so-hated creatures from hell. Awesome!
  The suckiest are Maze and Arena. Maze is way to hard to navigate in, and it gives people cramps in their right hand, and Arena is purely designed to taunt players; You're surrounded by monsters and you
  have absolutely no cover, except four small pillars!!

- The Barrel! Who doesn't like to bomb walls and hellspawn? =) The only bad thing about it is that it also might get YOU into a deadly situation, these boys can really hurt you a lot.
  The most useless terrain type is the teleporter. Why did Kornel even bother implementing this? It's only really useful in the Spider's Lair...

   - The opinions are pretty much divided for the favourite trait. However, the winner seems to be Dualgunner though. Dual pistols, heeell yeah =D
  The people seem to agree with the suckiest trait, though! Read the first three letters of "Badass" and you see what the people think of it.

- It's like a stairway; The harder it gets, the more it's loved. However, Nightmare is a bit too much.
  ... And that's why Nightmare is the most dreaded difficulty level, too. It's simply ridiculously hard.

- It's AoMr vs. Ao100! These are both the favourite challenge modes.
  Here it's AoB vs. AoD vs. AoM... And the winner is: AoB! Congratulations AoB, YOU SUCK!


29) Give DoomRL a score from 0 to 10!

- Do I even need to comment this? DoomRL is a superb roguelike!

Thank you Mrazerty! This is good stuff to read.

Mrazerty, I allowed myself the injection of the results into your posts, hope you don't mind :). Great work with the poll!

Yay chaingun kicks ass. I smell a new thing to whine about in balance, acutally.

I'm pretty sure I can prove through maths that damage > speed > magazine > reload = accuracy.

Nightmare isn't even remotely fair. You should warn people, Kornel.

Aww, AoMs/AoPa didn't get favourite. And how the hell is AoB the worst? I hate you all! (Goes off to maintain 20% melee kills ratio)

Monsters roughly reflect my opinion.

I think minigun = lern-2-EE3

Good taste with the special levels. The wall is too hard as of right now and hells arena is an excellent test of whether you have the pro roguelike skillz needed to survive early-game (Compare to say, the mort which is just MOST PLASMA CELLS WINS GOGOGO)

0 votes for TaN? Huh. ttly saw the SoaB votes coming though

Badass should be a one-shot trait like shottyman that just gives you the full effects straight away. Level 0 = Full decay, Level 1 = No decay

[ParaSait]

I think Badass is pretty good on N! difficulty, as you get "Boosted" more easily (Due to the 2x powerup effects) and it would be a waste to let those extra HP's go.

[ZZ]

Bad-ass isn't so bad trait as you people say, but I think it logicaly fits the adv. of Ironman, not TaN. Why Chaingun RULES? This is BAD BAD BAD! Shootguns(double) RULES! REally, they do more damage,thee dmg reduction isn't very big(as all people say), and area covered impressive. And I am the true marksman! My favourite weapon is pistol, but I don't think somebody will support me. Mrazety, this is not fair that chaingun rules. PISTOLS DO!

[ParaSait]

Mrazety, this is not fair that chaingun rules. PISTOLS DO!

Yeah, I really agree with you... But the wide community doesn't seem to do so =/
Chaingun is not a bad weapon, but jeez, "Try a bigger gun", you know. I don't care if you have to "waste" a lot of traits for pistols, they really are good! I remember the last DoomRL game I played I was totally owning Arch-Viles with about 4-5 double pistol shots! =)

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Badass has been changed into a single level trait. Also this poll made me think about fixing also other issues :).
