This is how I started a new level (AoI). I wasn't excited, but rather p*ssed off! But fortunately I killed them all with a Missile Launcher...

Discussion / Re: AoB.. I can't do it
« on: January 26, 2008, 04:16 »
I'm experiencing a similar problem now with 0.9.8.9. Back in 0.9.8.8 I could go as far as lv12 on Medium, but now I can't get to Chained Court, even though I'm running, trying different strategies or starting traits...

« on: January 25, 2008, 12:32 »
Also I didn't get the "all clear" message in the City of Skulls, even though my mortem says I cleared it. There was no place to hide after all and I did walk around the level back and forth to check if there's one more skull wandering about. Does that count as a bug?

Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [M|AoI|97%|YAVP] My first challenge win, ever.
« on: January 24, 2008, 06:00 »
I never dipped below 40% health in the entire game
Naah, what excitement you get if there's no risk in the game at all? Listen to this:

"I stupidly tried taking on the City of Skulls" because the BFG9k in my pack was giving me a false feeling of invincibility. I expected to fry them all in few blasts. It didn't happen that way.

So here I am, with empty combat shotgun in my hand and BFG9k with only 11 cells in another. I have 22% health and my armor looks like swiss cheese. There are two pain elementals with about a dozen of skulls around them - next to me!

I've pressed TAB to start running and switched from shotgun to BFG. The lost soul hits you! The lost soul hits you! I have like 15% health. I'm unloading full plasma rifle from my backpack. The lost soul hits you! The lost soul hits you! I'm reloading my BFG. The lost soul hits you! The lost soul hits you! I'm almost dead. I'm squeezing BFG's trigger with a wicked smile. Most of the baddies died!

But I've left the level with ... 1% health.
...and the game has funny message to indicate this.

Requests For Features / Re: Request for Ideas : Unique Items
« on: January 24, 2008, 05:38 »
Mommy, can I play too? Can I? Can I?

E-11 Blaster Rifle

Damage: 11d8
Clip Size: [10/10], uses plasma cells, 1 per shot
Base Fire Time: 2.0s
Base Reload Time: 2.5s
Accuracy: 0
Quote on pickup:  Here they are, blast them!

This standard issue military weapon packs a punch, but on the other hand it isn't known for rapid or accurate fire. Dangerous in the hands of a skilled marksman, but can be more of a problem for an average trooper.

Requests For Features / Re: Closing doors on items.
« on: January 24, 2008, 05:05 »
Can't we introduce a rule that items will not be dropped on doors? Currently engine looks for a free space, so e.g. when multiple items had to be dropped in a narrow corridor nothing gets lost, but it's going to be more widely spread. Let's mark open doors as invalid space (just as closed doors).

Requests For Features / seeing lava/acid under items
« on: January 22, 2008, 23:32 »
I was trying to check if this was posted, but found nothing

When you kill a baddie and he drops the loot on lava/acid tile, the tile only shows the item and not the hazard below. When the tile is out of your LOS the item is no longer tracked and you see the hazard again.

My request would be to add a second descriptive sentence in [l]ook mode for such tile, e.g.: "You see: a pistol [6/6]. You see: lava.".

Wow, with so lame equipment you deserve even more praise for pulling this out. No fancy stuff this time.

Ahh... I get it now - after one of the forum users spilled his guts and started a unique items' properties list...

This is one of my problems with uniques: in a permadeath game noone wants to experiment (late in the game) as this may get you killed - yet the only way to gain info is to experiment with various ways of using things...

A. idk what you mean by poll-spoiling, I don't really read the forums much.
Malek made a poll "which unique weapon data would you want to be revealed first". Imagine that he's a Dad who bought his son a cool Xmas gift as a surprise and you found the hidden box few weeks ahead and unwrapped it already ;)

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 32 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 28 of those were killed.
 2 of those were killed by something unknown.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 killed the bastard and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------


This game required a lot of hard decisions... like dropping cool mods, red armor at 200% or even modded weapons. At first I wanted to skip the Minigun, as I've heard that its accuracy sucks, but I tested it beforehand and it wasn't that bad (due to the fact I had 3 levels of Eagle Eye). What saved me from running out of ammo (in the last 2 levels) were the human packs that were tagging along barons.

I did some math on the piece of paper (LOL! I'm sometimes old-fashioned) and the game proved it - minigun was weak against Cybie, as single bullet had problems going through his armor. So I switched back to plasma to fry the SOB.

But I'll NEVER get to 15th level as AoB in this version... in 0.9.8.8 I went as far as 12th, but now I die as soon as in first couple of levels :( And I'd really want to test myself with A100 challenge.

Yeah, I think this is it. I checked the midi files and now I recognize the last time the game bombed it was at the end of midi track.
