0.9.9.5 / [M|YAAM] My first Diamond of this version! :D (Strongman Diamond)
« on: January 08, 2012, 01:39 »
I was expecting this Diamond badge to be more difficult than it was, mostly because I heard that there were plans to get rid of the ability to farm Pain Elementals for health and berserk in Vampyre games. Since you can still do that in this version, I'd say it's one of the easier Diamond badges to achieve!
I played it safe, not entering most of the generated levels, including Hell's Arena, although, I did go into the Mortuary because I happened to have a nuke and there was an invulnerability next to the entrance. :) I had three envirosuits when I got to the Lava Pits, and the Lava Elemental conveniently spawned three squares away from me, so I had a fairly easy time of it.
I wasn't sure whether or not I would still be able to use strategies such as wall-busting or juggling melee weapons and still have it count as a fists-only game, so I played it safe (again) and just stayed with using my fists for the whole thing. (I didn't miss my other weapons, really) I only kept the rocket launcher around so I could get credit for the assembly with it. :)
There was an invulnerability on the second-last level, so I could have gone for the full win, but I'm not sure what to expect with the new JC and I didn't want to jeopardize my Diamond by getting fewer than 100% kills, so I decided to play it safe (thrice!) and just kill the Mastermind hand-to-hand and claim her brain. :)
One more thing that's kind of funny: I still haven't unlocked Angel of Over Confidence, because I haven't achieved enough Bronze Badges! :P

0.9.9.5 / [H|YAAM] My first 0.9.9.5 game
« on: January 05, 2012, 17:11 »
My first game of the new version; I figured I'd try for YAAM conqueror. :) I wasn't sure what to expect in the new version, so I decided to play it safe with a somewhat generic build with no master traits. I got Berserker trait way earlier than I needed; I didn't realize that UC is so much later in the game, now. :P
I accidentally blew up whatever skulls were dropped by the Agony Elemental in the City of Skulls, so I didn't have that assistance in the Mortuary, but fortunately, there was a berserk near the Mortuary entrance, so I was able to tear around with my Azrael's Scythe and cut down the Arch-Vile's numbers without too much difficulty. :)
I found a Dragonslayer and, just like every other time I've encountered it, I failed to pick it up. :( I had a theory about how to do it which turned out to be wrong, but now, I have a *new* theory for it to try out for next game. :)
The new AI kept me guessing about what strategy to use in some places, which is a good thing, although, there were a couple of occasions when I had to hunt for the last enemy on the map because they weren't where I expected them to be. :P
I was a little disappointed when the E1M1 music started again when I got to Deimos; I had hoped it would play the Episode 2 music, since I like the E2M1 song. The new The Wall song was nice, though. :)
I considered getting a full win, but I decided not to because I really wanted to see what the long-awaited Spider Mastermind was like! :) And some luckily placed invulnerabilities allowed me to get Cyberdemon's head and the Mastermind's brain! :D
The new Diamond badge requirements look really interesting too! :D I'll have to give them a good try at some point when I have time; I'm pretty busy these days and DoomRL is a bit of a low priority for me at the moment, but this is all pretty awesome! I commend everyone who worked to make this possible.

Nightmare! / [N!|AoP|48%|YASD] 26 Bronzes! :P
« on: December 29, 2011, 17:03 »
2DeviationsOut's string of victories inspired me to play this game again after a few months' hiatus, and try again for Inquisitor Diamond. I didn't succeed, but I did achieve my 26th Bronze badge, so I decided that's worth recording for posterity. :D
I was forced to use my last homing phase device in the Halls of Carnage after I stupidly let myself get cornered by two Hell Knights, otherwise I might have been able to pull this one off. (I didn't even get the BFG because the lava had already overtaken it!) In the end, I realized that I wasn't going to beat the Bruiser Brothers and I just tried to make a run for it, using an envirosuit for the reduced acid damage. I didn't get very far. :|
Also, apparently, I've never been killed by a Bruiser Brother before. I didn't realize their eulogy message was "baptised." Nice! :)

Nightmare! / [N!|AoI|86%|YAFW] Another Double D, and I don't mean cup size! ;)
« on: November 23, 2011, 13:49 »
Two more Diamond badges, Eagerness and Reaper! WHEEEEEEE! :D
Lately, I've been trying to get the Eagerness Diamond with a Survivalist build, just to show that I'm not a one trick pony, but after failing several times, I decided to go with my old reliable standby of the Vampyre build and I got it after 18 tries. :P
There were a few close calls, here and there, most notably at Hellgate where I was down to 24% health, non-berserk up against the Bruiser Brothers with my chainsaw. One more hit from them would have killed me, but my berserk kicked in at the last second and allowed me to kill them. (Whew!)
It was a lucky thing that I found a rocket launcher on the level that had the entrance to Hell's Armory, because otherwise, I wouldn't have been brave enough to try to clear it, and I wouldn't have gotten the Nano mod pack, and I wouldn't have gotten the Gravity Boots, which, it turns out, are crazy powerful for a melee build! :)
The boots made it surprisingly easy to clear the Mortuary! I was expecting the Mortuary to be a long, hard, slog, painstakingly destroying each corpse with my Micro Launcher as I went along, and I stocked up on rockets to prepare for it, but with the Gravity Boots, I zoomed around (at 0.12 seconds per move) and killed everything so fast, that monster respawning wasn't even an issue! (And most of them got gibbed by my Brute 5 Longinus Spear anyway) And just like that, Reaper Diamond! :D
When I got to the Lava Pits, I faced some indecision about whether or not to try for the full win. AoI doesn't allow me to carry envirosuit packs, but abundant Pain Elementals in the Lava Pits provide lots of healing sources, so I was thinking that I might just try running across the lava anyway, but then, before I even got to the first island, my Gravity Boots had already taken 40% damage and I decided to retreat back to the exit and just forget about the full win... Then, on level 24, I found an invulnerability sphere next to a homing phase device and it was like the RNG was saying, "No, really, get the full win!" and so I did. :)
Lately, I've been trying to get the Eagerness Diamond with a Survivalist build, just to show that I'm not a one trick pony, but after failing several times, I decided to go with my old reliable standby of the Vampyre build and I got it after 18 tries. :P
There were a few close calls, here and there, most notably at Hellgate where I was down to 24% health, non-berserk up against the Bruiser Brothers with my chainsaw. One more hit from them would have killed me, but my berserk kicked in at the last second and allowed me to kill them. (Whew!)
It was a lucky thing that I found a rocket launcher on the level that had the entrance to Hell's Armory, because otherwise, I wouldn't have been brave enough to try to clear it, and I wouldn't have gotten the Nano mod pack, and I wouldn't have gotten the Gravity Boots, which, it turns out, are crazy powerful for a melee build! :)
The boots made it surprisingly easy to clear the Mortuary! I was expecting the Mortuary to be a long, hard, slog, painstakingly destroying each corpse with my Micro Launcher as I went along, and I stocked up on rockets to prepare for it, but with the Gravity Boots, I zoomed around (at 0.12 seconds per move) and killed everything so fast, that monster respawning wasn't even an issue!

0.9.9.4 / [U|AoB|99%|23|YASD] Critical Miss
« on: November 16, 2011, 01:39 »
I decided to try for the Gargulec Cross today and came *very* close to making it. As is typical with melee builds, the early game was the toughest part, and I managed it with lots of "gift-dropping," a technique I came up with independently, and later learned there was a name for it from watching one of Game Hunter's videos. :)
It was pretty smooth sailing once I got Vampyre trait until I started encountering Arch-Viles, who caught me out in the open a few times without berserk and I lost all my med-packs. In the end, the level was down to one injured Revenant and I managed to retreat around a corner with 2% health left. My only chance of success was for him to come around the corner and have me hit him first. I waited there for a while, alternating between pushing "," and "." so I would rest twenty turns at a time, until finally he came around and... I missed! ...ARGH! One hit from Azrael's Scythe would have finished him off; what a terrible time for the RNG to mess me up! :(

Century Lounge / [M|Ao100|97%|YAVP] Malicious Knives Cross and Armorer Diamond!
« on: November 10, 2011, 14:44 »
Well, I have Angel of 100 games with melee builds for Vampyre and Blademaster, so here's one with Malicious Blades to complete the set! :) This time, I stuck exclusively with melee weapons and got a Malicious Knives Cross out of it and the lucky find of a Dragonslayer got me Armorer Diamond, since it was the last unique item that I hadn't found yet.
It should have been YAAM, but I was forced to abandon that goal because of my own stupidity. I entered level 18 invulnerable from the previous level, so I decided to nuke it. Unfortunately, my invulnerability ran out with two seconds left in the nuke! :o I had no choice but to homing phase out and miss out on all those kills. It was a former human complex too, so it would've been an easy level. :( (Oh well...)
The part that made this run ridiculous was when I was lucky enough to find a Nano mod and I assembled Nanofibre Skin Armor out of an energy shielded vest. I was already getting bullet, shrapnel, melee, and fire resistance from MMB trait, so adding fire, acid, and plasma resistance on top of that made me practically invulnerable! The fire resistances stacked to make me basically immune to imps, Revenants, Mancubi, and Cyberdemons. Even Arch-Viles, normally a melee player's worst enemy, were only doing 5% damage per hit and were too slow to evade me. I almost didn't need another med-pack for the rest of the game! And with Brute 5, dual-wielding two bulk-modded Chainswords, most enemies fell with one hit, with the exception of the Nightmare creatures, Bruiser Brothers, Shamblers, and Lava Elementals which fell from *two* hits and the Cyberdemon that fell from four hits.

Century Lounge / [M|Ao100|82%|YAVP] Need for Speed!
« on: November 07, 2011, 13:54 »
This run was a lot of fun. :) I wanted to try an Angel of 100 Blademaster build; other than that, I didn't really have any goals in mind.
Agility-modded Phaseshift Armor and agility-modded Phaseshift Boots accompanied by Hellrunner 2 and the Scout's natural speed boost made me ridiculously fast. (0.2 sec/move while berserk, 0.15 sec/move after I got HR 3) And since I had Blademaster, most of my attacks took zero time, so it was like everyone was moving in slow motion. The only drawback was that if anyone ever did get a shot at me, I got thrown around like a rag doll, because of all the increased knockback. :) And once I got the Onyx mod on the armour, it effectively made both the armour and boots invulnerable because of the Phaseshift set bonus. Speaking of which, it theoretically would have made my Acid Spitter more powerful because I'd be safe from acid damage from reloading, but I decided I'd rather cut up my enemies with the Chainsword instead. :) (In fact, I barely used any of my other weapons besides the Chainsword at all!)
For the first half or so of the game, I just headed straight for the exit on each level, but once I was well established enough, I pretty much cleared every level after that.
Agility-modded Phaseshift Armor and agility-modded Phaseshift Boots accompanied by Hellrunner 2 and the Scout's natural speed boost made me ridiculously fast. (0.2 sec/move while berserk, 0.15 sec/move after I got HR 3) And since I had Blademaster, most of my attacks took zero time, so it was like everyone was moving in slow motion. The only drawback was that if anyone ever did get a shot at me, I got thrown around like a rag doll, because of all the increased knockback. :) And once I got the Onyx mod on the armour, it effectively made both the armour and boots invulnerable because of the Phaseshift set bonus.

0.9.9.4 / [E|YAAM/YAFW] Untouchable Cross Conqueror
« on: November 06, 2011, 01:38 »
I've been playing ITYTD games lately to get my Cyberdemon kill count up, and just to make it more challenging, I decided to try for the Untouchable Cross medal. I got Int 2 and Cateye at the start so I could kill enemies before they see me. It made the whole game pretty slow and painstaking, and taking less than 50 damage in one game was still surprisingly difficult and took several tries, but I finally did it, and got Conqueror badge and a full win to boot! :)
I kept track of how much damage I took, so I would know if/when I failed at my goal. I took 38 damage total.
4 from an imp who got propelled into my field of view by an exploding barrel.
10 from a Former Commando because there was an open doorway where I expected there to be a wall and I stepped into its field of view.
2 from a Former Captain who somehow survived a shotgun blast at close range. (Probably wearing armour)
22 from an Arch-Vile on level 24 because I just got careless toward the end. (Oops!)
I was worried that the Lava Elemental would give me trouble, but he started in my field of view and I was able to mow him down with my plasma rifle before he got off a single shot.
There was an Invulnerability on level 24, so I was able to use the Lava Element while fighting JC. I closed to point-blank range and chainsawed him. The Lava Element wore off when he was severely wounded, so I switched to my BFG and finished him off with that. :)
Ta Da! :D

0.9.9.4 / [M|89%|YAFW] For Posterity (Technician Diamond)
« on: November 02, 2011, 07:40 »
I've been doing HNTR runs as Scavenger lately to collect schematics and Nano mods so I can get Technician Diamond. Nothing spectacular about this run except that I finally got the last assemby, Nano Shrapnel. (Which is a pretty devastating weapon, incidentally) I was thinking of getting YAAM conqueror as well by out-speeding the AoD, like I did in my other run, but I didn't get Fin 2 in time, so after that, nothing else seemed to matter except going to kill Cybie. (And JC too, just because) :)
EDIT: And yes, I nuked Hellgate. :) I've never done that before; it was quite amusing when I strolled through the empty level to the exit and got messages like "The walls disappear" and I asked, "What walls?" :P

Century Lounge / [U|Ao100|YAAM] Just for a change of pace
« on: October 31, 2011, 10:59 »
GH: Fixed mortem tag.
After all the Nightmare games I've been playing, Ultraviolence is surprisingly relaxing, not having to worry about monsters getting back up again. Also, being able to save the game is quite refreshing, so I took full advantage of it. :)
My goals were to get YAAM and to maybe get the last two assemblies left that I need to get Technician Diamond. Both of them require Nano mods of course, so I was disappointed that I never encountered any Nano mods or anything that disassembled into Nano mods. :( I did get an Onyx mod at one point, which is normally really valuable, but I decided I liked my Malek's armor so much that I ended up throwing it away.
There were a few occasions where I needed power or bulk mods, but had an abundance of agility or technical mods, so I assembled Speedloader Pistols and disassembled them to get the mods that I wanted. Scavenger trait is really handy sometimes. :)
I was disappointed to find that Firestorm mods are pretty finicky about what they'll attach themselves to. I couldn't Firestorm my Assault Rifle or Tactical Rocket Launcher. :( My Firestorm-modded Hyperblaster was pretty kick-ass, though, :) second only to my Firestorm-modded Nanomachic Plasma Rifle that I had in a previous game. :)
The only time my run was seriously threatened was the Lava Elemental cave on level 96. I was determined to get YAAM, though, so I found an alcove where they could only approach me one at a time and took them out one by one. It used up all my energy cells, almost all my bullets, and all but two of my med-packs, and I had to resort to chainsawing a few of them, but I finally did it.
After all the Nightmare games I've been playing, Ultraviolence is surprisingly relaxing, not having to worry about monsters getting back up again. Also, being able to save the game is quite refreshing, so I took full advantage of it. :)
My goals were to get YAAM and to maybe get the last two assemblies left that I need to get Technician Diamond. Both of them require Nano mods of course, so I was disappointed that I never encountered any Nano mods or anything that disassembled into Nano mods. :( I did get an Onyx mod at one point, which is normally really valuable, but I decided I liked my Malek's armor so much that I ended up throwing it away.
There were a few occasions where I needed power or bulk mods, but had an abundance of agility or technical mods, so I assembled Speedloader Pistols and disassembled them to get the mods that I wanted. Scavenger trait is really handy sometimes. :)
I was disappointed to find that Firestorm mods are pretty finicky about what they'll attach themselves to. I couldn't Firestorm my Assault Rifle or Tactical Rocket Launcher. :( My Firestorm-modded Hyperblaster was pretty kick-ass, though, :) second only to my Firestorm-modded Nanomachic Plasma Rifle that I had in a previous game. :)
The only time my run was seriously threatened was the Lava Elemental cave on level 96. I was determined to get YAAM, though, so I found an alcove where they could only approach me one at a time and took them out one by one. It used up all my energy cells, almost all my bullets, and all but two of my med-packs, and I had to resort to chainsawing a few of them, but I finally did it.

Bug Reports / [0.9.9.4] Tactical Rocket Launcher + Firestorm doesn't work
« on: October 30, 2011, 02:14 »
What the thread title says. I had Whizkid level 2 before assembling a Tactical Rocket Launcher and then tried to put Firestorm on it to give it a bigger bang and I got the generic "This mod can only be used on a rapid-fire or explosive weapon" message. I'm pretty sure a rocket launcher is supposed to count as an explosive weapon.

Bug Reports / [0.9.9.4] 2 nuke Fallout Gold cross
« on: October 28, 2011, 22:57 »
I was playing this game the other day and was awarded a Fallout Gold Cross even though I only nuked 2 levels. It's done this before; I think it has something to do with the fact that I nuked a generated level instead of a regular level. (In this caes, the Lava Pits)
Here's the mortem:

Nightmare! / [N!|AoMC|93%|YAFW] Untouchable where it counts (Destroyer Diamond)
« on: October 18, 2011, 13:20 »
Okay, so I guess I'm not done with this game yet. :P
So, my goal, this run, was to get the medals that require you to not take any damage, Hell Arena Pwnage, Shambler's Head, and Angelic Badge. (If there was such a medal as "John Carmack's Head," I would have gotten that too, since I killed him without taking damage!) :) Cateye and Int 2 seemed to be the best way to go about it and playing Angel of Max Carnage made things a lot simpler, so I figured I'd go for Destroyer Diamond while I was at it. What I *didn't* expect was to get Conqueror Badge! :o I've never gotten Conqueror in a Nightmare game before; I didn't even know it was possible!
Most of the run was slow and painstaking, making sure to keep all enemies out of view, or once I got Cateye, at the very edge of my view, so they didn't get a shot at me. I think the most tedious part was Hell Arena, because I didn't have Cateye yet, so I was shooting everything outside my visual range and I probably used something like 600 bullets, but I got a lucky break in the third round of HA because both Barons spawned close together in a position that I could easily corner-shoot them and a couple of very obliging Demons came along at just the right moment to let me do some corpse-stacking to replace the Baron bodies with Demon bodies.
Hell's Armory was a breeze, in comparison, because I had Cateye. I used my plasma rifle on the Shambler from beyond his visual range and used my rocket launcher to knock him back if I felt he was getting too close. (I had a previous Shambler's Head attempt ruined because he teleported right next to me and scratched me in one move; I didn't have a chance back then, but I guess I got lucky this time)
By the time I got to the Mortuary, I had Finesse 3, SoB 4, HR 2, and I had an Assault Rifle and Tactical Shotgun. My plasma rifle was doing enough damage that I was able to drop Arch-Viles with one volley, but energy cells were scarce, so I saved those for when I needed them. When I first assembled the Assault Rifle, I was a bit miffed to discover that it caused knockback, because that meant that I might not be hitting with all of the bullets in each volley, but once I was in the Mortuary, I was *very* thankful for the knockback because it was a huge help in keeping enemies away from me and bullets were very plentiful, thanks to Former Captains about. I had a Blood Skull, Fire Skull, and Hatred Skull from the City of Skulls which I used to clear most of the corpses in the centre of the map, and I shot at the edges with my rocket launcher to clear the corpses there. Periodically, I would hit enemies with the rocket launcher if they were standing next to a corpse I wanted destroyed; fortunately, rockets were plentiful, thanks to all the Mancubi around. I tried to be as careful as possible to destroy all corpses as I proceeded so that no one would surprise me, but there were still two occasions when I suddenly found myself surrounded by monsters that had just revived around me. At those moments, I was thankful for my Finesse 3 and Tech-modded plasma rifle to drop them all before they got a shot off, not to mention Juggler, which let me switch weapons on a second's notice to whatever was most appropriate at that moment.
The real surprise victory was Unholy Cathedral because I didn't prepare for it at all, with no Ironman, TaN, or Brute. I relied purely on speed and timing. Someone told me, a while back, that timing chainsaw hits so that the AoD doesn't hit you back is more trouble than it's worth, so... I guess the fact that I did it shows something about my character. (what it shows, I don't know) :P
(Boring technical description of my fight with AoD here)
Nothing else to say except that I breezed through the Lava Pits so quickly, that I killed everything, including the Lava Elemental, before my first Envirosuit even wore off!
EDIT: Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I got Gatekeeper Platinum too! :) Again, I took advantage of Cateye. I tunneled into the walls at the first ambush with my rocket launcher and took everyone out from beyond their visual range with either chaingun or plasma rifle, whatever seemed appropriate. The Bruiser Brothers got themselves drilled by plasma fire or knocked back by rockets, whatever seemed appropriate. :)

0.9.9.4 / [M|YAAM/YAFW] Biggest FG!
« on: October 16, 2011, 16:53 »
I wasn't trying to do anything spectacular with this run; just get some more assemblies that I hadn't gotten before. I didn't think I'd actually get the most powerful weapon in the game! :D I even managed to get it as early as level 13, so I was able to use it in Hellgate, the Mortuary, and the Spider's Lair... I figured it was worth posting for posterity here. So much fun! :) (and I slapped a power mod on it just to make it even more ridiculous) :P
(Spoiler tags in case anyone is picky about accidentally learning new assemblies)
I just wish I had had the presence of mind to take before and after screenshots in the Mortuary; at one point, I phased into the middle of a massive group of monsters with an Arch-Vile in the centre. One Biggest FG shot later and there was almost nothing left! Here's the after screenshot anyway:
I wasn't planning to get conqueror, so I didn't get Brute trait, but the lucky find of a hatred skull let me kill the AoD after all.
Nothing else to say except that I had an extra Firestorm mod, so I put it on the Micro Launcher just for the novelty of having a Macro Micro Launcher. :P
Muahahahaha! :D

Nightmare! / [N!|AoMr|72%|YAVP] Who needs guns? Guns are for wusses! (Marksman Diamond)
« on: October 14, 2011, 16:32 »
So, Angel of Marksmanship lets you use two weapons, pistols and your fists... Since the Marksman Diamond denies you the opportunity to upgrade your pistol ability, I decided to work on the fists. :) (And considering I got Demonic Diamond recently, this was actually easier!)
My strategy was the same that I used for Demonic Diamond, (except that I was free to occasionally shoot people if I felt like it) :) get to the Chained Court as soon as possible and make those berserks last as long as possible and then farm Pain Elementals for health once I got Vampyre trait.
One story from this game I have to relate:
The most tense moment was at the end of level 11, because my berserk ran out and I was out of med-packs and armour and I hadn't gotten Vampyre yet. (Level 5 with 99% of the way to level 6!) :| I found myself caught between an Arch-Vile in one direction and a Commando in the other. Given that choice, I ran toward the Commando, side-stepping repeatedly to dodge as much of his fire as I could, and then just as I spotted the stairs, a freakin' Arachnotron came into view and I was getting plasma barrages from two different directions! When I was 1 square away from the stairs, I was at 5% health and I stared at the screen for a long moment and said to myself, "There's no way I'm going to survive that last step..." but I must have been channeling Jules from Pulp Fiction because I took that last step and two barrages of plasma fire missed me completely! :o
I went downstairs to level 12 and my hopes died again because I started surrounded by sergeants, imps, a couple of Hell Knights, and a commando. So, I did the only thing I could do: Punch out an imp to bring myself up to level 6 and get Vampyre trait and quickly run around the corner into an alcove out of their view which was luckily empty except for a former human who I punched out too. The commando followed me, so I corner-shot him almost to death and finished him off with my fist. I then stood there for quite some time between the commando, former human, and imp, knocking them down any time one of them got up and slowly got my health back. Things briefly got tense again when another imp came around the corner and destroyed the former human and commando bodies, but I was able to lure the imp over, along with one of his buddies, and soon I had 3 imp bodies safely tucked away out of anyone's view and I could punch them out to my heart's content any time any of them got up. Once I had enough health to make me confident enough and I was zerking again, I charged out, found the stairs, and the rest is history. :)
So, that's it! God Hand skill rank! WOO! :D I can still remember when I first discovered this game almost a year ago and Diamond Badges seemed impossible. (Win Nightmare difficulty with only your fists? How ridiculous! No one could do that!) :P I'm hoping I can be an inspiration to people to show that it really is possible! Once you realize you have the ability, you might as well aim high. :)
And yes, that's right, I punched out the Angel of Death with my bare hands. Just call me Tormuse, Diamond Fist. ;)
