Bunch of ideas

(1/3) > >>

Gargulec:
Okay, I've playing DoomRL for a while now (without bigger success, though- only one win) and, well, there is a few things that I would be really glad to see in game:
 
 1. Invulnerability and berserk equals Badass - Okay, it seems strange for me that even if you are un-killable or nearly un-killable and immune to pain your health still drops if it is over 100%. What I suggest is that Berserk Globes and Inv. Globes grants you Badass (3) for the duration of their effect. It is not a big change, but a sensible one, I think.

 2. Hell's Arena rewards- I suggest that beating Arena level 3 would give 50% chance that one of its rewards turns into unique weapon or armor. Just like in Hell's Armoury. Well, Arena rewards are rather small, compared to it's hardness, at least for me, and I usually skip it. But, if this would get implemented, entering the Arena and risking your life there would become much more interesting option.

 3. Unique destroyed message- This is rather cosmetic- if an unique gets destroyed due to some unlucky accident, barrel for example, you would receive a message, something like "You feel that something valuable was lost". It save your time when you're searching for an unique which is long gone.

 4. Second advanced pistol for AoM- Simple- second advanced pistol is guarantee to spawn on level 10 in AoM runs. It would make it easier for all those unlucky ones, who can't find an unique pistol on the whole run.

BTW: Sorry for my poor grammar, English is not my native tongue.

Frankosity:
1: Freezing health decay for Invulnerability sounds about right, but I'm not so sure about Berserk Packs.

2: I'd go one step further and say that all of the unique levels should have a depth-appropriate unique item as a reward.  I tend to avoid most of the unique levels apart from the Wall, Armoury and H of C since I don't really consider the rewards worth the trouble.

3: Pretty sure this is being implemented.

4: Why not just start the player with two? It won't affect the rate of mod spawning, so it's not like you'll have much more of an advantage than by picking up a normal pistol on Lev1.

Mr_Dead:
1: Berserk, no.  You're tough, but can still be hurt and even killed.  Invulnerability does sound right though.

2: While I can understand where you're coming from, if implemented it could cause you to receive one of the really good uniques which can cause you to have very few problems for the rest of the game, which should not be allowed.

4: One is enough.  Sorry, but it just is.  You don't need to find another special item to win an AoM run.

On the other hand, it could be a specific unique, designed as a reward for the level and balanced so that it won't destroy the challenge of the game. For example, beating the Arena could net you. say, the Champion's Armour, a 1-strength armour that gradually regenerates (slower than Malek's, at least), giving you a backup armour in case your better stuff gets destroyed, but not rendering you unstoppable.

Hipster Scumbag:
1: Invuln, sure. Berserk, no.

2: I think the Arena reward is fine (a rocket launcher, no?  So you can be sure you can do The Wall?) but the difficulty needs to get turned down.  Kornel says he's going to nerf Caco accuracy, which should help things (although I still can't see why they deal more damage than a freaking Hell Knight and have the splash radius of a Baron.  I'm begging you, Kornel.)

3: Would be nice

4: I think a single advanced pistol is sufficient - I just wish all the AoM uniques weren't borrowed from anime (anime has no place in Doom)
