 Before him 2 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 2 of those were killed.

Soab*3+EE*2= Cowardly killer. As soon as i got the chaingun, the rest of the game was Easy. I picked Cateye>Intuition as I killed Boh's in 3 hits anyway. Also had Plasma rifle (1d9) and BFG (130/130) but i used them and about 280 cells to clear the Mortuary. Cybie spawned right next to me, which was good as after my 3 BFG shots, my chaingun wasted him.

Chaingun > Shotgun isn't an opinion. It's a fact. The only way shotgun would be better would be Double Shotgun + Shottyman, and in most situations it isn't like that.

SoaB is broken for now, so it is only needed if you want to take Triggerhappy, which you didnt.

Karry: Notice that his mortem says BETA 1; that means that in his version, those bonuses work.

Shouldnt all beta people post Mortems in their closed forum section somewhere, so as not to confuse others ?

And besides, how do you know if it works or not ? Or in the beta bonus damage is actually shown in your gun status ? I see that he has "modified chaingun 1d7", so it is unknown if the trait actually adds something, or only SAYS it adds something.

We should post our motems in public section so everybody will see that Beta access is cool and some of you will think about donating.))

It's not shown anywhere, but you FEEL that there are damage bonus. With SoaB*3 and Triggerhappy*2 you need only 1 burst from chaingun to kill Cacodemon. Without damage bonus but with Triggerhappy*2 you need at least 2 bursts.

Except that nobody knows that its a mortem from beta. I highly doubt that many people look at version number in each and every mortem.

Aaaah ! You FEEL there is a bonus. That is called optimism and subjective thinking.
I love ADoM. You can set an option to show energy spending for each action, and you posess tools to know exactly how much HP he has left.
DooMRL dont have those tools. Not even Kornel can say that some trait works 100% as intended.

Not convincing. According to Wiki info (HP=40 & Armour=1) its perfectly possible to kill Cacodemon in one shot, even without damage bonus. It will be 1d5x9 = 9-45 damage.

I always do so when i see something unusual in mortem.

Output of some values is not a prove that they are real. Only programmer knows what he is showing to users. Kornel said that damage bonus was broken, and that he fixed it in Beta. I have played Beta, difference really exists between broken and "fixed" SoaB, and this difference is easy to see. I don't know if SoaB working correctly, but it works differently than before, and i'm disposed to belive Kornel, because he's good programmer.

If programmers always knew exactly what was broken and what wasnt - there would be no need for beta-testing. :P

I have no idea how good of a coder he is. He's keen on gamedesign, thats obvious. Somehow i just cant see roguelikes as a pinnacle of coding...

It was reported to him that there are no damage bonus from SoaG. He checked it and noticed that damage bonuses from SoaG and SoaB are really broken. And when programmer knows what exactly is not working, in most cases he can fix it.

I have no idea how good of a coder he is. He's keen on gamedesign, thats obvious. Somehow i just cant see roguelikes as a pinnacle of coding...

DooMRL is very stable. It have some glitches, bugs, exploits, but they are not deadly, it crashes totally very rarely. For me good coder is not the one who have written overmoded unstable code, but the one who have written a little less moded, but stable code.

SoaB is NOT brocken in beta; when playing UV you can see the difference between Soab 0 and SoaB 1. (Everything's easier to kill)

Since others have talked about the SoB bonus, I'll just say that you can see the version information at the very top of every mortem, and this one is no different. :) Of course, skipping that and proceeding to the rest of the information is understandable, but it's not hard to find.
