Comment:
I've been playing Doom RL for a few weeks now so I don't consider me that good at it yet.
My first "victory" was on E - but back then I didn't know about JC so it was only a partial victory I guess? After that I got a full victory (dead JC) on M, and also did the AoB challenge on E. But all these runs have been plagued by a lot of failed attemps - as you can see from this post mortem. Sure I've played some U games and challenges that obviously were too difficult but most of these losses were due to my lack of experience with the game.
Anyway, about Ao100:
I've been trying to do this challenge for some time now on M, and it took me a few attempts before I figured out how to pass the 25 to 30th floors. After this, I got to like floor 32 but ran out of ammo and died. I was so frustrated because I didn't understand how the FUCK you were supposed to get past that. But during this run I learned something new:
Sometimes you just get a bad streak of levels. You sometimes get lots of lava levels with shitloads of barrels and tons of mancubi, archvile and the other high-end monsters - those who don't drop you any ammo besides the occasional rocket.
This time, although I did get these bad luck streaks again, I managed to get by them somehow. I was also lucky about getting some proper weapons early on: I got an assault shotgun before I could assembly a tactical shotgun - so I went with that one because I could attach 5 mods to it (being a techie +2p whizkid). I also got Malek's armor early on - at lvl 21. I also got a napalm launcher at around lvl25 I believe and a railgun at lvl31 - all of this was invaluable.
I felt that I had finally "solved" this challenge after I had completed the lvl25-35 levels I struggled with previously. Things went on very smoothly actually - I was rarely close to dieing: almost always above 100% hp, except for like one time.
The death? It was a YET ANOTHER STUPID DEATH.
With no monsters near me I moved towards some lava barrels to get a berserker healthpack. I did not hear any monster growling in the direction (northwest) I was moving. Before I could even react, a Mancubus blew those two lava barrels just next to the box and I was ONE-SHOTTED with 100% armor and 100% HP. Very funny - NOT.
I know this game is supposed to be hard - I get that and it's something I enjoy. I played Doom as a kid and I remember that the game was merciless. But this? This is just broken game design imo. I don't even consider myself doing any mistake here. I moved to get a pickup in a position that I thought was 100% safe. I know barrels are dangerous but with Fireangel I felt pretty safe - I had survived barrel blasts prior to this. But this Mancubus instablowing two lava barrels close to me... there was NOTHING I could do there.
So yea... it really SUCKS to die at lvl74 when things were going so great. Lvl 40 to 74 felt like a breeze - with only minor obsticles here and there. This death was so unlucky and so random - like if the power to my PC had been cut or something. -_-
