Pre-0.9.9 / [M|AoDD|83%|11|YAFW] This was a weird, wonderful game...
« on: April 28, 2009, 11:59 »
So I beat HMP earlier today, and after a failed AoP run i decided to put Major on hold for the moment and tried some AoDD. A couple of failed runs later and I get this:
For me, this run was extraordinary at least in the fact that I got a full win, which I'd never managed before. The thing which will stick out for other people, though, is the bit where it says I entered the Wall twice.
It's because I did.
Basically, I got to the Wall, slaughtered everything there with the Assault Shotgun and lots of rockets, then after I picked up the BackPack I dropped everything in my inventory to sort out my ammo slots, which had gone a bit strange from the new maximum ammo stack. At which point I get the empty inventory crash.
So, after a few tries (which is why the mortem reports 5 crashes), I decide to just get on with it, clearing out the level again and getting the backpack again (didn't do anything D:)
So, after beating the Wall AGAIN on a single health pack and minimal ammo, I then proceed to get my first full win, after getting my inventory reset on Phobos Base 10. Not too shabby, eh?

I didn't know it'd been suggested before, sorry! :x

What about the Soul Cube from Doom 3? I know 3 was pretty bad as far as the Doom legacy's concerned, but it could shape up to be an interesting unique weapon, and could even be the reward for a unique level.
It could be a usable inventory like the Hell Staff, and function similiarly: when you use it, it causes damage to a single enemy, the same amount of which is given to you as health, although not over their (or even your, as in 100%) maximum. If it had a damage rating of, say, 5d5, it could potentially kill or at least injure most enemies up to the late-game, and potentially heal you a full half of your maximum health, making it good for sketchy situations. And like the Hell Staff, it makes you Tired on use, to prevent abuse.

The first level of Intuition could just give you the ability to perceive those events outside of your sight range.
Personally, I'm behind this idea. Having a static memory of the tiles you've seen is used a lot in other roguelikes, like Crawl, and it works pretty nicely.

I was doing my second most successful HMP run to date when I stop to reload my Plasma Rifle and a Baron of Hell LITERALLY TELEPORTS INTO THE ROOM AND KILLS ME WHILE I'M RELOADING.
Most of my RAGE moments are due to me being an idiot, like getting to the Cyberdemon with an AoMr with the Beretta and switching it to full-auto, putting it into my off-hand then forgetting it takes like 3 turns to use up all the ammo in it, and dying when I tried to reload.

« on: April 23, 2009, 13:37 »hmm...what type of build would you use for AoI? Your standard weapons build (chaingun, anyone?) or one that captilizes on the health restrictions (Iro + Badass)?
EDIT: For anyone who wants to see how badly i play and even worse on AoI because i like my med-packs thankyouverymuch, there's a vid in the Chaosforge Dosrecorder Vids section.
I managed to beat it a couple weeks ago with this build:
EE->EE->Int->Int->Int->SoB->SoB->SoB->EE->
Basically I used the extra ammo space you get for firing wildly into the murk, although that became unneccessary once I got Int 3, then I just focused on raising my damage with my chaingun/plasma rifle and killing things before they got within sight range of me. For the Cyberdemon, I was lucky enough to find a thermonuke, but Int 3 would probably be fine for hitting it from a distance with rockets or BFG shots.

From personal experience, I won AoLT with a pistol Specialist. I find it's a trait build which is incredibly ammo efficient and by the late-game you can kill most any enemy without having to reload.
My trait path was:
SoG->SoG->DG->SoG->EE->Fin->Fin->Rel->EE
I kept slots for a rocket launcher, one slot of rocket ammo and a large health pack. Once I got through the Wall I dropped the rocket launcher and ammo, and picked up the BFG in the Halls of Carnage, to take care of the Cyberdemon. Luckily, I got a thermonuke, so it wasn't necessary in the end.
Anyway, I'm trying to beat AoI, but I keep dying right in the endgame, one time right at Cybie. I've been using a Finesse/SoB/EE/CE build, which gets me pretty far, but I've been thinking about trying a trait build focused on health and defense. What's the best trait path for a TaN/Badass/Ironman build?

I'm not a great fan of the system around running at the moment. The fact that you stay Tired until you use a health pack/globe or go down a level means I never use it, in the grand old OCD tradition of "just in case".
Plus, it seems strange that you become Tired even if you only ran for one turn.
Would it be possible to implement a counter of sorts which would keep track of how many turns you spend running, and when you stop you're Tired for twice/equal to that number of turns? There'd need to be a limit on how many turns you can run for, of course, and there could be a movement/accuracy penalty for being tired, meaning choosing when to run and for how long would have to be very carefully considered.

Personally, I'd really love to see some more Berserk! love (apart from Doom, obviously). Not that it isn't totally playable in its current form, of course...
