Well, I finally had a successful Angel of 100 Vampyre build!  :D  I just have one more Diamond to go and I can retire my DoomRL career as a God Hand.  :)

Notes on this run:

I almost rage-quit on level 2 when I accidentally destroyed a berserk pack.  I guess I can be glad I didn't.  :)

I held off on assembling a chainsword until I could be sure I could get an additional upgrade for it, (someone recently told me how to mod assembled items) which probably risked the run.  I wish I could say the risk paid off, but I found a chainsaw just afterward and ended up throwing the chainsword away after all.  :P

When I found the Hell Staff, I was planning to throw it away once I found a homing phase device, because I'd rather have something more reliable that I know where it's going to take me.  I generally consider regular phase devices (and the Hell Staff) to be too dangerous to use on Nightmare difficulty, but in this case, it turned out to be useful on several occasions, so I kept it until the end.

My tactical armour was destroyed the very next level after I made it by a barrage from Arch-Viles and Barons.  :|  But I found Malek's Armour on the very same level, which I wore until the end, so it all worked out.  :)

Those Cerberus Boots almost killed me!  I found the Cerberus Boots assembly purely by accident while slapping a whole bunch of mods on my boots, so I tried it out, mostly for the novelty of getting a Master Assembly for the first time.  Pretty soon, I found myself unable to escape from a group of Revenants and Arch-Viles and when I was down to my last med-pack, I took off the boots and found I fared much better.  Being able to walk over lava and acid is nice, but a 30% speed-reduction is deadly to a melee build!  :|

Interesting thing about the Acid Spitter:  It gives you 75% acid protection while you're wielding it, which includes protection from attacks from Barons!  (I don't think it's really a spoiler to say that, since their in-game description says they throw balls of acid)  From then on, I kept the Acid Spitter as my primary weapon, taking advantage of Juggler trait to fight with my power-modded double chainsaw in my prepared slot.  I charged into groups of Barons and Bruiser Brothers without fear for the rest of the game.  (Actually, for the last 40 levels or so, my Iro and TaN levels were high enough that I could charge into pretty much *any* group without fear)

For a good part of the mid-game, I worked on clearing every level, but at some point in the 50's or 60's I just decided to make a run for the exit as soon as possible each time.  If I had cleared a few more levels, I probably would have gotten an Experience Cross.  (I was pretty close to level 25!)

For the last half of the game, I was pretty much unstoppable.  If I understand the way the Berserker trait works correctly, I had, on average, a 23% chance of going berserk with each hit of my power-modded double chainsaw, so even if my berserk ever ran out, I could get it back with just a few hits.  And with the protection from being berserk and from the Malek's Armour, I was taking very little damage from anyone.  I could charge headlong into groups of Arch-Viles, Revenants, Mancubi, Arachnotrons...  you name it!  I came out of every skirmish on top.  I'm rather disappointed that I didn't encounter any Cyberdemons, since I'm sure I would've made short work of them.

Nightmare! / [N!|AoH|28%|YAVP] Speedrunner Diamond Badge
« on: October 09, 2011, 22:23 »
I normally suck at speed runs...

The reason I've been able to get so many Diamond Badges in this game is that I'm very meticulous and plan every move every step of the way, constantly weighing my options and figuring out the best strategies to approach every situation.  (That, and I play enough games that sometimes I just get lucky)  ;)  Nevertheless, I decided to try some button-mashing this evening to get Speedrunner Diamond.  :)  It took about 30 tries over the course of an hour, most of which were about a minute each.

My strategy was to take advantage of the Scout's ability to see the stairs and head straight for them, and try to get berserker trait to lessen damage from enemies.  After I got to the Chained Court, I was berserk for basically the rest of the game.  I had planned to chainsaw the Cyberdemon to death, but the lucky find of a nuke allowed me to go for partial victory instead.

I was trying for a Blademaster run the other day and I did quite well at it, (I got up to level 24, but I didn't feel like posting it because I figure you're probably getting sick of me filling up this forum with my mortems)  :P  but then I decided to fall back on my favourite build, the Vampyre.  :D  (Actually, with all the Vampyre games I've been playing lately, it's a wonder I didn't get this sooner!)  :)

This run had a very weak beginning, as I had to use one of my starting large med-packs on level 1, but there were some luckily placed stairs on the next few levels, and I soon found myself in the Chained Court, and it took off from there.  So, let that be a lesson about not giving up just because you had a bad start.  :)

One curious thing...  I don't know if this is a bug, but it seems that I accidentally destroyed the entrance to the Mortuary!  There was an invulnerability sphere near the red staircase leading to the Mortuary.  I intended to use the Trigun's Angel Arm to nuke the level, then enter the Mortuary and nuke that too.  I was standing on the red stairs when I used the Angel Arm, and then, the red stairs were nowhere to be found!  :(  Is that supposed to happen?  I thought that stairs are supposed to be unaffected by nukes!

Nightmare! / [N!|90%|YAVP] Demonic Platinum and Reaper Platinum
« on: October 09, 2011, 01:40 »
I'm in need of some platinum badges to go up in rank, so with this run, I had my sights set on Demonic, Reaper, and Gatekeeper.  2 out of 3 ain't bad.  :)

Notes on this run:

No fancy build or Master traits; I just got whatever trait I felt I needed at any given moment.

My attempt at Gatekeeper Platinum was thwarted, first by the absence of an invulnerability on level 14, and then, by the fact that my microlauncher missed one of the Bruiser Brothers a couple times, forcing me to retreat faster than I intended and they cornered me just before I could kill them.  They only hit me once.  (Grrr!)

I had a stroke of luck in getting the Reaper Platinum:  Two levels before the Mortuary were two invulnerabilities and a berserk which I picked up just before going downstairs, and then the level with the entrance to the Mortuary had *two more* invulnerabilities!  :o  I had enough invulnerability to do a complete lap of the Mortuary and kill all the Arch-Viles and almost all other monsters before it ran out.  I thought, for a moment, that I would be able to get the Angelic Badge too, but I found out the hard way that, due to Nightmare difficulty, the monsters continue to respawn after the Arch-Viles are dead.  This meant that the only way to clear it was to DESTROY EVERY SINGLE CORPSE IN THE MORTUARY!  (Ugh!)  :|  This was really tedious, especially since most of the corpses were away from any walls that I could explode rockets against, so the only way to destroy them was to rocketjump, which, of course, injured me.  Bye bye, Angelic Badge.  :(  I probably should have just nuked it, but I don't know if I get the badge then.

I didn't plan to clear the Unholy Cathedral, but there was an invulnerability and berserk next to the entrance, so I took full advantage of them.  This would have been Longinus Diamond if I hadn't already achieved it.  :)  In fact, with 90% kills, this also would have been Elite Diamond if I hadn't already achieved it!  :o

0.9.9.4 / [U|YAFW/YAAM] Elite Platinum and Gatekeeper Diamond
« on: October 06, 2011, 03:25 »
I've heard a number of people say that the Gatekeeper Diamond is the easiest Diamond Badge to earn, but somehow, I've never achieved it until now.  (Probably because I spend too much time playing Nightmare difficulty)  ;)  After so many Nightmare games, it was actually quite a relief to not have enemies respawn any more and the game seemed easy in comparison.  :)

My goal here was to get Elite Platinum and YAAM, (which should probably be called YAAS in this case since I was a scout, not a marine)  :P  and I got Gatekeeper Diamond by luck, since there was an invulnerability on level 14.  I still almost didn't get the Diamond because invuln ran out just before I killed the second Arch-Vile.  (I had charged in and taken out most of the enemies in there with my chainsaw; I had Shottyhead and Berserker by then)  So, there I was, standing two squares away from the severely wounded Arch-Vile, with an almost dead imp on the other side and a wounded demon closing in.  After weighing my options, I used the Arena Master's Staff, which killed the imp, further wounded the demon, and brought the Arch-Vile down to mortally wounded.  (The only time I used the AMS)  I expected the Arch-Vile to shock me in return, but luckily, he didn't and two rapid tactical shotgun blasts later, he died.  Just as he fell, another imp stepped into view from the other direction and I blasted him, just as the demon got up to me and I blasted him too...  which is all pretty funny for me to picture, because thanks to Shottyhead, I was firing 1 shot per 0.25 seconds, so I had just fired 4 shots in three different directions in the space of one second.  :)  After that, I didn't take any chances and used a ridiculous number of shells bringing down the Bruiser Brothers from outside their visual range.

The only other really tense part was the Mortuary, because I ran myself completely out of shells, despite going in there with 300 of them, and getting 60 more from two sergeants I killed in there.  I had to rely on the nuclear plasma rifle I had picked up from the Spider's Lair quite a bit after that.  Two Fire Skulls and a Hatred Skull that I picked up from the City of Skulls were a big help, since they helped me clear out corpses and save ammo.

Nothing much else except that I screwed up getting Shambler's Head due to a barrage from a Commando that I didn't even see.  Oh well, maybe next time...

Nightmare! / [N!|AoPc|15%|YAVP] Pacifism Diamond Badge
« on: October 04, 2011, 16:28 »
Clearly, I have too much time on my hands these days...  or I just have no life.  Either way, here's another Diamond Badge for my collection.  :)

Notes on this run:

I started with Intuition so I could spot berserks and other healing sources at the start of each level which turned out to be quite useful.

I spotted a railgun at one point, which is one of the few uniques I haven't found yet, but couldn't get to it because there was an Arachnotron standing next to it.  :(  Considering how many med-packs I ended up with, I probably could have risked it, but I didn't want to screw up my run.

I got berserker trait at the end because I had run out of things to upgrade and I didn't want to mess up my Diamond by getting Hellrunner.  I figured berserker could be somewhat useful since it makes you go berserk if you get hit by an explosion, but I never ended up using it anyway.

Nothing else to say except that it was a surprisingly lucky run!  I started right next to the stairs on six of the levels!

Nightmare! / [N!|95%|YAVP] ...a girl's best friend. ;)
« on: October 02, 2011, 03:09 »
I can only begin to emphasize...  BOO-YAAAAAH!!!  :P

Not one, not two, but fully *THREE* Diamond Badges in one game!  :D :D :D

I've been having a lot of luck with Vampyre build lately, so I thought I'd try my hand at acquiring the never before achieved Demonic Diamond Badge (which, incidentally, automatically gets me the Strongman Diamond Badge too) and a lucky Pain Elemental cave on level 20 gave me the opportunity to get Elite Diamond Badge too!  :)

It took many tries to get it right, but I finally had a lucky game, with Berserks and Invulnerabilities in the right places to keep me going.  There were still close calls here and there, but once I got Vampyre trait, everything pretty much fell into place.

Then I got myself into a situation on level 24 that I just have to share because it was equal parts frustrating and absurd...

It was *another* Pain Elemental cave.  The exit was pretty close by and I could have just run for it, but I was at 21% health at the time, and for a Vampyre, a Pain Elemental cave is paradise because the abundant Lost Souls provide lots of health.  :)  So, I found myself a corner where the walls formed a bottleneck so the Lost Souls could only approach me one at a time, and started getting my health back.  Unfortunately, the corner I chose was in full view of several of the Pain Elementals and I soon discovered that they were spawning lost souls far faster than I could kill them.  :|  (It wouldn't surprise me if the map was completely full of Lost Souls at that point!)  It really looked like the game was going to end in a stale-mate, right then and there, with me being unable to get to the exit and them being unable to kill me.  I was cursing myself for having used my Hellwave pack on the previous level (it killed a group of Arch-Viles and Mancubi, so it seemed like a good use of it at the time) and for having used my last phase device, because now, I didn't have any means of escaping this situation...

I don't know how long I just sat there, killing thousands of lost souls, (long enough to earn the Iron Skull Badge, apparently)  :P  but eventually, the random wanderings of the Pain Elementals took them out of my view and since they only spawn Lost Souls when they can see you, the number of Lost Souls slowly dwindled until there was a path out of my bottleneck and I made a run for it.  I still couldn't get to the exit, though, and I quickly became surrounded on all eight sides by Lost Souls and now, they were damaging me faster than I was getting health back.  It quickly became alarming as they brought me from 200% health to 20% in a matter of seconds and for a moment, I thought I was going to die there, (which would have been a really stupid way to die after getting that far) but somehow, two med-packs later, I got away from them and found my way to another bottleneck, one that was out of view of the Pain Elementals.  :)  My strategy after that was to kill Lost Souls until their numbers were thin enough to make a path between me and the Pain Elementals and then dash out, kill one Pain Elemental, and then dash back to the bottleneck to kill the horde of Lost Souls that were spawned during that dash.  Wash, rinse, repeat until all the Pain Elementals were dead.

The funny thing about all this is that a couple levels earlier, I was trying desperately to keep a Pain Elemental alive because it was my best source of healing, and I was killing Barons and Knights around it.  Every time the Pain Elemental got caught in the crossfire and got injured by one of the Knights, I would say, "Don't hurt him!  He's my friend!"  :)  ...Then about halfway through level 24, I was saying, "YOU'RE NOT MY FRIENDS ANY MORE!"  :P

After all that, it was a bit anti-climactic when I ran up to the Cyberdemon, still berserk from all the Lost Souls, and punched him to death.  :)

0.9.9.4 / [U|AoRA|YAAM] Quartermaster Diamond Badge!
« on: September 30, 2011, 20:38 »
And the diamonds just keep coming!  Woot!  :D  (And this time, I was wise enough to *not* enter the Mortuary)  ;)

This one had too many close calls to count!  I finished several levels with less than ten seconds left in the nuke.  In fact, in Hell's Arena and Hell's Armory, I reached the stairs with one second on the clock!  :o

Notes on this run:

I took a big risk in summoning the Shambler in Hell's Armory, but I had acquired Malicious Blades trait and assembled my first Chainsword by then, and fortunately, he didn't teleport around *too* much, so I was able to kill him.  (Just in time!)  :D

I used the Azrael's Scythe's Whisper of Death attack once in the City of Skulls to clear the area of Lost Souls that were threatening to overwhelm me.

I held on to a suit of agility-modded green armour for the whole game before I was able to turn it into tactical armour on level 19, only to lose it three levels later to a Baron of Hell and Arch-Vile barrage.  (Grrr!)

The last two levels before Cybie were the most tense...

Level 23 featured a frustrating group of Arch-Viles that kept raising creatures faster than I could destroy them.  It took a lot of time to make even small advances, so when I was close to running out of time, I got desperate and just charged into the crowd and took my chances.  I burned through all my med-packs, but I succeeded.  I actually used two homing phase devices on that level, one to get me out of a tight spot where I was surrounded, and the other to get me to the exit at the end.  (With less than ten seconds on the clock)

Level 24 "blasted me with unholy atmosphere," so I kind of had a double countdown.  :)  This problem was compounded by the fact that I had no med-packs and the only source of healing I found was a small healing globe.  I finished with 41% health left and fully intended to nuke Cybie for a partial win, but...

On level 25, when I tried to arm the nuke I had been carrying, I was greeted by the message, "Are you out of your mind?"  (I guess you can't place nukes in Angel of Red Alert)  :P  I suppose I could have just waited out the timer on the nuke and gotten a partial win that way...  (for that matter, I could probably just have let him kill me and the nuke would get him that way)  In any case, I decided to take my chances and try to take him out in hand to hand combat.  (After an initial BFG blast)  :)  I took full advantage of my speed and Dodgemaster to dance around him, hitting him with my dual chainswords.  I still got grazed by a few explosions that hit surrounding pillars that brought me down to 28%, but I did it!  I won!  Yay!  :D

Nightmare! / [N!|AoMs|74%|YAVP] Masochist Diamond Badge!
« on: September 29, 2011, 23:40 »
Wow!  I'm on a roll with the Diamond badges these days!  :D  (And again, all 5 badges, bronze to diamond, in one game!  Woot!)  :)

I was recently inspired to try a Shottyhead build in AoMs, since it's quite effective at keeping your enemies out of visual range and the Scout's ability to get Intuition as a basic trait means you can prevent a lot of damage to yourself.  (which in Angel of Masochism is essential!)  The beginning of this game was pretty tense, with a lot of close calls where I leveled up just in time before I would've died.  Once I got Shottyhead, it got easier, and after I got Int 2, I could relax a little bit, but of course, AoMs never lets you *truly* relax.  :)

I got Brute toward the end because I anticipated that the Lava Elemental and Cyberdemon would be too well armoured for my shotgun and I'm glad I did!  When I first encountered the Lava Elemental, I fired 3 shots in quick succession and then inspected him again and he was still unhurt!  :|  Either he heals incredibly quickly or I just wasn't doing any damage to him!  After that, I closed in with my chainsaw and it was a lucky thing that I had leveled up recently and still had some supercharge left, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the Lava Silver Badge.  :)

There was an invulnerability next to the stairs on the second-last level, so I just chainsawed Cybie to death and claimed his head easily.  :)

Nightmare! / [N!|AoLT|95%|YAVP] Light Foot, Iron Skull
« on: September 29, 2011, 02:56 »
I've never been a fan of Angel of Light Travel because I'm the kind of guy who likes to hold on to as much stuff as possible, but I've had a lot of luck with melee builds lately, so I thought I'd give it a try with a Vampyre build and it worked quite well!  :)

While I was at it, just for fun, I decided to get the Iron Skull Medal.  I calculated it out; for a marine with level 2 Iro, 100% health is 80 hitpoints.  10,000 / 80 = 125.  So, all I had to do was get them to reduce my hitpoints by 100% 125 times over.  Simple, right?  :)  I hung out in the city of skulls for a while, getting up to 200% and then letting the lost souls pound on me down to 100% and then killing enough of them to heal me, wash, rinse, repeat 110 times.  (I think this is conclusive proof that I have no life)  :P  I did it way more times than I needed to, but I decided I'd rather do it too much then too little.  (I wouldn't want to do this over again!)  :)

I'm such an idiot.  This would have been a Quartermaster Diamond Badge if I hadn't gotten cocky and tried entering the Mortuary.  I wouldn't have except that I had five large med-packs and there was an invulnerability sphere next to the entrance, so I figured I had a good chance.

In a previous game, I was disappointed to discover that the Malicious Blades Master Trait only lets you hit with two weapons if both weapons are knives, so the chainsaw doesn't count.  Imagine my delight when I discovered in this game that the Butcher's Cleaver does count!  :D  So, here I was, wielding the Butcher's Cleaver in one hand and a chainsword in the other, massacring anyone who got close enough.  For a while, I also had phaseshift armor which I power-modded and with my agility-modded boots and level 3 HR, I was moving at 0.25sec per move while running and 0.37sec per move while walking, so it was like the enemies were moving in slow motion and nothing could touch me.  Even the Angel of Death was a push-over; since the phaseshift armor confers melee protection on top of MB, he was doing 1% damage per hit, and that was without me being berserk!

The game was in the bag.  Victory would have been easy, but alas, for all the protection I had, MB doesn't protect against Arch-Viles.  Why, oh why did I try to enter the Mortuary?  What was I thinking?!?  :(

Toward the end, I tried using the Azrael's Scythe's special attack, "Whisper of," (whisper of death, according to the Wiki, but it just says "Whisper of" in the game)  :P  and it wounded and killed countless of my enemies, so I was thinking, "Why didn't I do that sooner?" but by then, I was out of med-packs and down to 11% health, so it was a lesson learned too late to help me.  (Incidentally, the scythe doesn't count as a knife either)

Nightmare! / [N!|AoD|78%|YAFW] Hunter Diamond Badge!
« on: September 27, 2011, 16:48 »
I seem to be fond of the Vampyre Master Trait lately.  :P  And at 78% kills, I was only 2% away from getting all 5 hunter badges simultaneously!  If I'd known that, I would've hung around some Pain Elementals or JC a while longer to get some extra kills.  (Oh well...)

I just played it safe, not trying to complete any of the generated levels, (though, I killed a few enemies in each for the experience)  I intended to get a tactical shotgun, but I didn't find a single tech mod in the entire game!  I didn't really notice, though, because I was using my melee weapons most of the time anyway.  :)

Requests For Features / Autosave/Game recovery feature
« on: September 20, 2011, 11:40 »
(Someone suggested I request this)  I'd like to request some means of recovering games that are lost due to power failures or other computer difficulties that cause loss of the game for reasons beyond the game's or player's control.

I was recently playing Angel of 100 on Nightmare and a power failure shut my computer off and I seem to have lost the game.  :(  (Or if there's a way to recover it, I don't know about it)  It takes me days to play a single game of that, because I can't play through all 100 levels in one sitting, and I can't save it due to Nightmare difficulty, so that means I have to leave the computer running with the game on for days, hoping that nothing goes wrong with the game or my computer during that time.

I'm thinking perhaps it could autosave the state of the game at the start of each level and delete that autosave when the player dies/wins/quits.  That way, if there's a crash or something, you don't lose all your progress.  The mortem would then state if a crash occurred and what level was recovered.

I understand that this might cause people to abuse the feature for savescumming on Nightmare, so I understand if you don't want to implement this, but if it keeps me from losing my Onyx-modded phaseshift armour that I had in the game I just lost, then I have to try.  :)

Nightmare! / [N!|Ao100|85%|39|YASD] I am here to suck...
« on: September 18, 2011, 15:08 »
...your blood.  ;)

I was trying for a Vampyre build and it was easier than I expected.  Once I got the Vampyre trait, things went mostly pretty smoothly, even though I was using an unmodded combat knife up until level 28!  (Seriously!  I didn't find a single bulk or power mod until then!)  Naturally, Pain Elementals became an excellent source of healing, so things got pretty ridiculous when I found a Pain Elemental cave and I was wading through a sea of lost souls that couldn't attack me fast enough to do any damage.  That's why more than half of the kills are lost souls.  :P  (Too bad there's a cap on how long berserk lasts; otherwise, I would've just hung out there until I had enough to last me to the end of the game)  :)

Levels 32, 33, and 34 were Arachnotron caves.  If not for the resources I used up there, I might have won this one.

This was a fun run; I'll have to do it again.  :)

0.9.9.4 / [M|AoB|YAAM/YAFW] Gargulec Medal
« on: September 17, 2011, 17:18 »
So, I decided to browse through the Wiki to figure out which secret medal to try for next and decided on the Gargulec Medal.  :)

I might have gotten Conqueror too if I had found at least one phase device, but as it was, I had to skip The Wall, which was a shame because there was an invulnerability sphere next to the entrance which would have been an excellent opportunity for a Brick Silver badge too.  Oh well...

I took levels in Whizkid because in a previous game, I was able to add a power mod on to a Chainsword and I wanted to see if I could do it again.  No such luck.  I was also disappointed that the Malicious Blades trait wouldn't let me two-weapon the Longinus Spear with my chainsword.  I guess they both have to be "bladed" weapons.  Oh well again...  I kind of like the image of wielding two chainswords anyway.  :)
