Jupiter Hell > Post Mortem

[1.2 RC2|U|Sc|YAAM] Pirate/Assassin/Zombie

(1/3) > >>

Tormuse:
Note:  This mortem is from over a week ago, but I'm posting it now, because the forum was having some technical issues.  Anyway, here's what I tried to post before.  :)



This run had a bit of a weird start, because I somehow accidentally joined the zombies.  :P  Due to a strange bug that the dev team has hopefully figured out now, the game apparently considered me one of the former humans for all of Callisto, and so none of them attacked me.  (Fiends/bots/etc continued attacking as normal, though)  Needless to say, this made the early levels a lot easier than normal.

I recorded the game, so you can see for yourself:

Part 1 - Callisto

Part 2 - Europa

Part 3 - Io

Part 4 - Dante

Anyway, I played this game in response to some discussion about the relative benefits/drawbacks of the newly amended Swashbuckler and Assassinate traits.  I already made plenty of commentary about them both in the videos, and the Chaosforge Discord server, so I won't repeat myself here, but suffice it to say, I think they're perfectly viable traits.  :)

CaptainSublime:
Very impressive as always. I notice you didn't take a relic. Is that because you don't like the trade-offs in general, or because you didn't fine one you liked in this particular run?

Tormuse:
A bit of both?  I'm not fond of trade-offs in general, unless I'm sure I think it's worth it, and I didn't see one I considered worth it in this case.

CaptainSublime:
Cool. Thanks for the reply. Honestly I am so used to seeing you play N!/A! that seeing a thread from you on UV was almost... weird?

haha well done tho.

Tormuse:
Haha, yeah.  :)  It's just because someone was saying that this build wasn't viable in Dante, and I wanted to play a quick game to show them it could be done, but in all honesty, I fail most of the time at Nightmare difficulty, so I did UV this time to give me a guaranteed better chance of doing it quickly.  It was actually a bit refreshing to not have to be constantly on my toes to deal with reviving enemies for once.  :)
