Mancubus Experience Rank

(1/4) > >>

LuckyDee:
I think the Mancubus rank is placed poorly within the experience rank system. For example, take a look at the signatures on the forum; hardly any mention currently being a Mancubus.

I finally managed to obtain this rank in my last Ao100 run, and this was only because I found an Invulnerability which I used to clubber the last melee kill I needed to death. Had I not found this sphere at that exact moment: my next and current run is an AoMr (which I still need the Silver for) and I'm only 2 pistol kills short of becoming a Hell Knight (which I've already made) - and the number of kills required for both ranks is hugely different.

It's not much of an issue, but it does make me think that these chubby bastards do not get the credit they deserve this way. Maybe the requirements for achieving the Hell Knight rank should be raised a bit. Alternatively, switch both ranks and increase the requirement for Mancubus by a few melee/pistol kills.

Creepy:
I think Mancubi are a lot more dangerous than a Hell Knight; we don't tell horror stories of Hell Knights decimating you in a single volley, and a pair of Knights with an Archvile is only going to get attention because of the Archvile. Mancubi are a whole 'nother threat level.

MaiZure:
These experience ranks are relics of a old DoomRL which haven't evolved with the game. Lots of suggestions have come about how they need to be rebalanced or changed/removed completely. The issue hasn't actually made the dev tracker so who knows when it will happen. When the devs do get around to thinking about it, they will have 5+ years worth of ideas to dig for in these threads. We'll see what happens!

Napsterbater:
Currently playing Ao100 on UV, Hell Knights are spelling the end to every character I try to make past level six. I almost invariably drop into a level where I have to deal with two of them flanking me. Thinking I'm going to need to take Reloader and Juggler to start off with, and hold on to three or four shotguns, if only so I can keep the fuckers at bay. Feels like an abuse of the system to me, but it seems like the only way to survive.

Klear:

You could invest in hellrunner to increase your chances to run/dodge your way to a safer place.
