This is a screenshot from my current game of AoB on Medium diff.

What looks perfectly ordinary, changes when I tell you that this 'h' you see is the ONLY enemy on this level .. (plus, to top it of, there's 2 berserker packs, a supercharge AND an inv. globe lying around)  ... I don't know how likely this is going to happen again, but maybe you can prevent it somehow altogether,

Maybe with i minimum number of enemies per level?


Code: [Select]

You see a former captain (unhurt) [4n7e].

Considering this has only happened to me once (ever, and I've played over 200 games or so) this doesn't seem like much of an issue.  Consider yourself lucky and/or bless the RNG for giving you an easy ride on one level and move on.  I'd rather the whole "lots of lava/acid between your spawn area and the area of the level w/stairs" thing be fixed before this, but I'm fairly sure the benefits of having a wide range of randomness outweigh the minuses of having things too easy/too difficult on rare occasion.

call me an ungrateful bastard, but actually it pisses me off (well slightly annoys me) if all those upgrades are wasted and there's no XP gain for me either

I agree that most issues may be more urgent than this

Well, would you rather have found that you needed to take a trip across a large pool of lava in order to reach the stairs at all?  I had this happen once and my character died for it....

I also had your situation happen once (as mentioned, though it was a caco and not a captain); I just grabbed what I needed/wanted and moved on.  I'd say that you'll probably earn a heavy load of enemies later on, if not this game then later ones.

Recently in one of my games I ran through a cave with no enemy in. What do you say to that?

I'd say that sounds even rarer and wait to see what Kornel has to say on the matter.

Hey, Supernaut, STFU! We all have enough problems surviving N!, we don't need to lose that slightest chance for a breath of fresh air :P That goes for you too, BDR - water, acid and lava for all! \m/ Well, water for all, acid and lava for some ^^

Water I don't mind, but acid and lava I do, especially when no boots spawned at all on the previous levels (though I mind them most of the time anyway, as I generally don't consider picking up boots [they make me slower when equipped and take up a slot when not equipped... no thanks, I'd rather make my enemy miss/not get any extra hits in]).

Hey, Supernaut, STFU!
Now I will personally tell Kornel to fix that RNG  ;)

They make you slower? Is this only in the latest Beta, or am I missing something integral?

Um, um, well... Yeah? I'll, ah... Fine! Well who needs you anyway?!

I recently got a level with 2 berserker packs, 4 large health globes, 3 superglobes, 2 invincibility globes...and three monsters. It made me sad to see such a rediculous amount of powerups wasted, although starting the next level with 200% health and invincibility was nice.
