[U|Ao100|YAVP] Maturation exam :]
« on: May 08, 2016, 07:34 »

I had the idea to do an Ao100 UV pistol run for some time, but after like 20 tries I gave it up. Enemies started to take advantage on me around level 8-13 and no matter how I tried I always ended up dead/outgunned.

Without a pistol build it went much smoother this time and an onyx pack helped me substatially since level 11. (or 12?) I slapped it onto a red armor and I've ran this (OP) armor for much of the game.
Alternating in between a gatling gun and a HP plasma rifle I took advantage of the enemies' ammo drops but I intentionally left triggerhappy alone for a long-long time. (Ammo problems) It was my intention to go with a masterless build, as I'd like to take EE and SoB to maximize the advantage of heavy weaponary.
I think I was at 95-97ish killing spree twice, but only managed to get another UAC Star (silver cluster). Oh well, havent tried so hard in the end. :) And haven't managed to get to level25, thou I left 2 monster switch alone.

I think I had a good run in number and quality of drops, I had 1 onyx, 2 nano, 1 firestorm pack thou I haven't used the last one. Nanomanufacture ammo was godsent the game became a pushover after that. I have dispensed all the ammo and I've been kinda reckless after that. :] Since I haven't managed to figure out the Dragonslayer mystery, it was left on level 90ish somewhere. A backpack would have been a real boon in the early levels.

And by the way, frozen hell looks real badass, it was a real eyecandy after all the red-yellowish glow!

RNG has been pretty nice with you.  2 nanos + onyx is great, (+GCB at lvl 33, which sounds like "get you back to a pistol build, coward !")
Any reason for choosing marine ?  (Not that they are bad, but just wondering...  well, I personally pick 99% of scouts, but classes seems well balanced to me.)

I love your picks :p  (yet, I think Fin3 is way better than TH -- which I don't even consider unless I got a nanomachic gun)
Note about SOB : I stopped picking the 5th lvl when I learnt the 12th damage produces knockback, which is most of the time a problem more than an advantage.

Any thoughts to share about your shiny nano assault shotgun ? :)

Marine was a typo I think, I was quite mad after my last failed try, pressed enter too early, but it gave me a smooth first 3 levels so I thought why not... haven't played marine in a masterless version before, so it was a nice experience. Too bad all of the master traits have fairly excluding requirements about SoB/EE combo. :-/ The long powerup durations was quite nice in the deeper levels, I think I cleared 3-4 levels with a lucky inv. :)
I feel techy is a bit behind the others, but the allmost instant item usage is very handy in tight situations. I'd could bear a random class option tbh.

I think the trait picks were a bit inconsistent, but to my defense, I've played the game over two weeks inbetween exam and midterm preparings. (And many GF alerts too!:))

The HR/Int inconsistency could be sorted out to a better order, as DM and Int2 serve the same purpose (yeah, I am looking at you barons) but well. A lucky double agility packs before L15 could have solved the speed issue. (And typical RNG; waste the only agility pack on ballistic armor @L10 to solve the myriads of sergeants and captains and red armor + onyx just after that. :D)

TaN was a mistake I think, I had some jolly good level starts around level 70 (viles+baron packs/viles+N demon packs) and I've felt I might need to build up more toughness. Sphere distribution was uneven but I think Badx2 could be better on the long run. The one thing I really regret is getting Jug so late... plasmatic shotty's corpse disposal is so good.
You could be right on SoB, I've noticed the knockback, but at that point I was a plasma death machine and if someone had risen I gave him another volley. :) On a more serious playthrough I will consider this info, thank you!

Any thoughts to share about your shiny nano assault shotgun ? :)
Nano shotgun is utter fun. >;] I use to run with shotgun builds around 40% of the time, and it is pretty strange that I don't need to press R regularly. :D The damage is bit low, but the zero ammo consumption saved my ass quite many times, and this "costless" poke/barrel exploding/radar shooting is quite priceless. The only thing I regret that I haven't found a super shotgun for the base. Now that would be a roomsweeper...

marine was a typo
poor guys ^^  looks like no one likes them.  bah, the powerup buff is nice anyway, and extra hp always help.
I really think we underrate the value of techies's ability to... not die, when overwhelmed.  Sure, the situation is rare, but it can be priceless.  Tracking map buff is nice too (well, I take INT back now... but you can clear between 1/2 and 1/3 of levels easy with computer maps... thats neat !  And access to WK is cool too.


@your picks, You say you lacked consticency... but do you need that ? :p
I juste realized you didn't pick BER.  Buuh !  I hate Melee, but usually pick it as a defensive trait (and for saving ammo)
But y, jug should have been picked earlier, it's very handy in AO100

@nano shotty
So, you managed to find a use to it ? ^^  Nice.  But at least, take a normal shotty next time, you'll save one precious dice.
While nano-super-shotgun is quite good (I don't think I used it too much, but it probably manages to knockback efficiently), I really hate that 5d3 nailer thing.  Sure, it can be fun, but at the cost of a nano ? :(
I prefer scouting/calling with the plasma rifle, it's more focused and efficient (especially with EE3 + INT2)
You say the 0 ammo consumption saved your ass => did you craft it before the plasma rifle ? (modding the plasma first seemed like an obvious choice to me, considering the... significant difference in damages output between those 2 weapons)

Just wanted to say congrats on the Centurial Platinum!  :D  And a YAAM too!  :o  Very impressive.  Maybe you should add that to the subject line of this thread.  (Give yourself credit where it's due)  :)

And haven't managed to get to level25, thou I left 2 monster switch alone.

Oh yeah, I wanted to comment on this too.  It isn't possible to get character level 25 in this challenge unless you're playing Nightmare! and/or Archangel of 666.  Also, monster switches don't give you experience.  I think there was a previous version where they did, but that was a long time ago.
