I think I'm getting the hang of this. This build seems really promising. I took juggler first, to have some edge before MVm got online and both finesse and juggler are very useful, so it's not a waste. Once I got Vampyre, I could (I'm ashamed to admit) farm the last remaining enemy on each level for max health. The only problem I had (and I always have it with Vampyre) is that my armour kept getting destroyed. For the first part of the game, I was switching a dueling armour with two P-modded reds and whatever else I found laying around at the moment. At some point I stopped caring and ran around naked, charging into pretty much anything without any fear of death. I even charged towards mancubi along a wall a few times and survived, which unfortunately made me even more suicidal. And it worked! I rarely had to pop a medkit, TaN 3 serving as an unbreakable armour which I didn't find.

I knew I won't be able to finish the game all at once - I died at around 1AM - but I decided that I want to reach level 50 before hybernating my computer. The last 15 or so levels got kinda boring though. I felt invincible, I didn't have ammo or armour to worry about and I wanted to get it over with as fast as I could. Oh, and I had a trigun for nuking. That sped it up a little, but not enough.

When I died, I was like "Huh. So the guy can die. Interesting." I wasn't even angry or sad. Weird.

In any case, next time I try this, I'm taking a break after 40 levels no matter what. And I'll hope for some indestructible armour. And a chainsaw, that would be nice.

Oh, one more thing - I see there are only 7 enemies on the graveyard shot, and I'm missing 8 for YAAM. I blame the nightmare versions - since they are silent, it's quite easy miss them I guess. If I ever pull this off, I'm not expecting a true YAAM, but damn, this is 99,74% enemies killed. That should count =)

When I died, I was like "Huh. So the guy can die. Interesting." I wasn't even angry or sad. Weird.

Oof, well, I'll be sad on your behalf, then.  :|  I know the frustration of dying after building up my character to a state when he "should" be able to win easily.

[Klear]

I think I was getting a pissed off at the character for being able to do the stupid things he did. When he died, I almost thought he had it coming. Also I guess I'm going a little crazy from this game =)

Edit: And I was glad that I at least got my second experience medal. I hate it when I have a fairly good run and don't get any worthwhile rewards.

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

The next version is going to address the boredom of later Ao100 levels :)

[Klear]

That is certainly good news, but at the same time it means that if I manage to make it before the next version, I'll have to reset and do it again =(

Edit: I know I don't *have to* reset, but it feels right.

[skarczew]

Klear, could you record your gameplay with DOSRecorder? I want to see the tactics you use.

[Klear]

OK, sure. But don't expect anything spectacular. My main tactic is "camp in a doorway and wait for extreme lengths of time".

Edit: Also, it's been ages since I played without tileset, but I think I still remember it =)

I like to hear this!  :D  :D  :D

Ah, you were punishing him for his hubris!  :P

[Klear]

Well, some higher power has sent him to hell. I think it is a safe bet he was quite an asshole. Hmm.. I'd better change the default name to something other than myself, or I'll definitely go crazy.

Edit: Also, it's been ages since I played without tileset, but I think I still remember it =)

Well, it seems basically the same tactic as mine. Except maybe for the fact that I tried AoB N! 100% kills.

If by tileset you mean graphic version, then no - please play in console. Thats why I asked for DOSRecorded game :) .

[Klear]

Yeah, I played with it a bit yesterday, though I didn't get very far. I need to get used to the ascii graphics again.

I'll post the first run where I manage to get at least to barons of hell. Might be a long recording though.

Edit: OK, here's a recording. I YASDed stupidly on level 2. Damn, I'm so not used to playing in ASCII =) I made quite some stupid errors, but it should give you a general idea of how I play. Once brute begins to kick in, I can finish pinkies on the spot, until then it's usually juggling them with shotgun and hoping they will die in a doorway. Nothing of that sort can be seen in this recording though, just imps and formers.
