[0.9.9.5 Win7] cheap Chained Court tactic
« on: January 10, 2012, 09:33 »

It is tedious but possible to safely kill all hell knights on HMP ArenaMaster-less Chained Court by waiting for them to open and step into a door as shown in the screenshot and shooting them. They never shoot back or step into lava.


The missile hits the hell knight. The missile hits the hell knight. Boom!     
 The missile hits the hell knight.

Thanks for the input!  We'll try to take care of this in some way for the next version. (I imagine that the same happens with Barons on Ultra-violence.)

I'd also like to say that I really appreciate this report in that it seeks to make the game less imbalanced in the direction of making things a little harder for the player. It's great to get stuff like this fixed whenever possible, because it provides a more enjoyable experience to the player overall. (I am trying my hardest to work these kinds of changes, either to be harder or easier, into the game over time.)

Darn!

And I've been farming that one for quite a while :P

Yes to the Barons - GREAT way to give that AoMr/UV a boost in the early game

And the fact that they're standing in *doorways* makes for easy body disposal in Nightmare!
