Discussion / .9.9.6 Fireangel?
« on: March 02, 2012, 21:33 »
According to the wiki the Fireangel grants immunity to explosions / splash damage. I didn't check the in-game description (to ensure the wiki wasn't out of date), but I am either misunderstanding this or it was changed. I got Fireangel in my most recent game and was most certainly taking damage from both direct hits and near misses from Imps, Cacodemons, Hell Knights, and Barons of Hell. (Eventually suffered a YASD vs a commando...) Does this only apply to my own rocket launcher attacks? Does it only apply to barrels / fire damage?

Discussion / AoSh vs Cyberdemon?
« on: February 12, 2012, 14:05 »
So I'm having difficulty beating AoSh. Two points kill me most often: Chained Court (after Hell's Arena), and Tower of Babel. The former I can always just skip so I'm not worried about that (plus I can usually beat it as long as I don't get impatient and/or reckless, and bring a few medkits). However every time I fight the Cyberdemon I have major trouble beating him. Shotguns are terribly weak at range, and I can never get close to him without eating a rocket and getting tossed back a half-dozen tiles. I've tried hiding behind the pillars until he gets close and then cornershooting him and trying to dance around away from him, but every time after three or so shots he just demolishes the pillar and I'm back where I started. Any tips?

40 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:

And 5 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
1 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
1 killed the bitch and survived.
--------------------------------------------------------------The mortem speaks for itself, mostly. High points: Power armor, tactical shotty, found a bunch of pretties (mostly left behind), cleared Mortuary (where I lost my power armor, which partially cost me the game).
This is where things started to go wrong: with no power armor, had to use Angelic, which is woefully fragile compared. Lost my fireproof boots shortly after (went skinnydipping in lava once or ten times). Whatever whatever, kept going, pushed on through to Dis. Bring it on Mastermind, let's do this. After fighting him around a pillar a bit (jerk wouldn't get knocked back), what was left of my Angelic armor melted and I started burning Medkits. Debated taking the time to strap on my red armor but didn't know if it was worth it. A quick look at his health showed "almost dead" or similar, so I figured "Heck, I can take one more round of combat before using another medkit. Shoot him and finish this hopefully." BOOM! He's still standing. RATATATATAT! I'm not. Commence rage.
It's not over though... A few minutes later, while relating the story to a friend, it dawned on me... that item in my inventory... that shiny thing I got from the lava pits... that lava element that could have made me invulnerable. More rage. >:(

Requests For Features / Weapon ideas
« on: December 07, 2008, 23:29 »
At the risk of sounding like a stereotypical newbie I figured I'd share my ideas for items.
Super Shotgun. Unique, basically the next-step-up from the double shotgun. I'm thinking it would work either identically to the SSG (only bigger) or be a sorta blend between the SSG and the combat shotty -- a 6 round mag fired 2 at a time with pump-action reloading.
Hunting Rifle. Not sure if it should be unique or not; either way, it'd have a 1 round clip, a very slow fire rate, moderate reload rate, be very accurate (with accuracy degrading as they get closer) and deal lots of damage. 10mm ammo.
Mini-rocket Launcher. Unique (or not?), fires rockets that deal half damage of a normal one with a reduced blast radius, but has a moderate-sized clip and fires the rockets very quickly (perhaps even in a burst). Slow reload.
Modulous Blade. This may or may not be pointless. I don't know if melee weapons can have mods applied to them or not; if they can't, I'm thinking this would be a weak-ish melee weapon that could have accuracy, damage, and speed mods applied to it as if it were an advanced weapon.

Pre-0.9.9 / [M|97%|YAVP] Finally, a winner...
« on: December 06, 2008, 03:22 »
First, the mortem. Notes at bottom.
So. While I have won on easy (twice, though one was in a different scorelist... tack on a hundred or so deaths and it should be about right) this is my first HNTR win. Since I have to finish challenge games to advance my skill rank, and you have to do challenge games on M or higher, I figured I'd try to get a normal win before I tried to tackled the challenge games more than I already had. And it was tough: getting this win I died 135 times (does that count the times I quit on level 1 because the formers grabbed the health packs?).
After having read plenty about shotguns VS chainguns/plasmas, etc, I decided to hold off on taking traits that would more or less lock me in to one route or another. That was the idea behind getting Badass up so early (that and it essentially doubles your health). After a while I decided to go with the minigun, since shotgun rounds can get a bit scarce lategame after sergeants stop spawning regularly. Even so I never really took that many minigun-specific traits; Finesse works just as well on a shotgun as a minigun, as does Whizkid.
I caught myself packratting too much at one point; I was lugging around about a half-dozen weapon mods, praying for an advanced weapon (which never showed up). Finally I used some and dumped some so I wouldn't be leaving so much ammo behind; even so, I felt like I was leaving behind a huge amount of ammo, and I kept praying for the Wall to generate so I could grab the backpack. It never did, unfortunately; nor did Hell's Armory.
Around 15 or 16 I started running out of bullets. Fortunately by then I'd found (and modded) a plasma, the BFG, and the missile launcher, which I used for a while until I also ran out of energy cells (stupid move, but I survived anyways). Damn the plasma rifle eats those things fast. It was somewhere around here that the Assault Shotty spawned, causing me to be most upset that I'd dumped all my shotgun shells.
The BFG also saved me several times, though I was moderately upset when I noticed that despite what the Wiki says, it does in fact destroy weapons and ammo. The rest of the game was mostly uneventful once captains started spawning in numbers; Supercharge packs were plentiful, I rarely dipped below 100% health until the last couple levels. Some well-placed "humid" levels allowed me to get over lava to grab piles of energy cells to feed my hungry hungry BFG. As you can see the thing has a quite enormous magazine.
I was very tempted to enter the Mortuary, for the advanced BFG and the armor; I decided not to though based on the fact that at that point, I didn't have that many mods to slap on it since Whizkid had allowed me to put most of them on my other guns. I didn't want to risk getting killed at that point.
Cybie was a piece of cake. When you have a BFG that shoots four times before needing a reload, and it's backed up by a rocket launcher that does the same... anything else is overkill.
Overall I have this to say: The Wiki is a handy resource, but it doesn't contain nearly enough information, and some of it is inaccurate. While I applaud the attempts at making it non-spoily, a more spoily section would be nice too. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to work out how to get into the left and center rooms of the Vaults; rockets work on the right room, but they don't seem to work on the left one no matter where I try, and I can guess the center walls are indestructible. The only way I've been able to get into either was with phase devices and carrying around enough of those to get into every room that way is just not practical. This is the only reason my game isn't a 100%: I went to the vaults looking for ammo and weapons (Found the Baron Armor in there I think), and couldn't get into 2/3 of the room (phase device didn't land me anywhere useful) and had to leave the monsters alive.

This is the only reason my game isn't a 100%: I went to the vaults looking for ammo and weapons (Found the Baron Armor in there I think), and couldn't get into 2/3 of the room (phase device didn't land me anywhere useful) and had to leave the monsters alive.

Discussion / the Super Secret Ultimate Evil End Guy
« on: February 13, 2008, 17:38 »
I was just scanning on the Wiki and spotted talk about the "Ultimate Evil". Reminded me of when I beat the game (on easy) a few weeks back, how on the final map there was another set of stairs. Now I find it hard to believe that nobody has found this yet. Am I correct?
