Will our current player data be compatible with future versions or are we going to lose all our progress again at some point?

I guess this is the same problem as the Quartermaster Platinum Badge. You are required to kill 100% enemies to get the badge, but the game gives it to you even if you didn't.

 284 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 4 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 9 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 24 souls claim to have killed him...

 20 killed the bastard and survived.

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

This badge is the one I worked the hardest for, I've been trying to get it for weeks. I can't really tell what I was doing wrong before, some days ago I couldn't even reach Hell but today most of my attempts went past level 20.

About this run: Phobos Base went down perfectly. Did the arena for the double shotty, and for the most part I was stuffed with armors and medpacks, which doesn't happen often. I was picking my fights rather than clearing every level at all costs, which definitely helped me survive longer. Sometimes fighting revenants and commandos isn't worth it.

Then I reached Hell. Most of the time I get surrounded by a Vile pack at some point, but it didn't happen this time. On the other hand, I got 2 arachno caves in a row, followed by the infamous Pain Elemental cave (first time ever in it, I thought they were removed from the game), followed by another arachno cave. The pain elemental cave was actually very easy thanks to the double shotty, it's the perfect weapon to deal with masses of lost souls. And I got lucky during the arachno caves and spawned at the corners, so I could take the spiders down one by one.

As for Cybie, he was a joke. Just kept running around a pillar and shooting around the corners. He didn't last long.

Another gold badge, another promotion, and now I'm ready to attack N! full force (one more platinum badge and I rank up yet again).

Discussion / The Vaults

The Vaults is the only special level I never completed, because I have no idea how to get inside the vault to the left.


You reload the rocket launcher with rocket.

Alright, I did it! Actually it isn't THAT hard, early game can be tough but once you get ammochain it gets much easier. You just have to watch out for vile packs and hope you don't get many arachno caves (3 appeared in this run, but in the first two I appeared close to the stairs and last one I got lucky and found it fast). Also, you have to walk VERY carefully. Arachnos and commandos are mean.

By the way, when I reached the stairs on level 22 I was invulnerable and didn't realize it was the mortuary. Whoops! Thankfully it lasted long enough for me to escape.

This is my first nightmare win so I'm rather proud of this archievement.

Alright, I started this game with the intention of getting the Brick Silver Badge. I picked up as many phase devices as I could find, and tried to stock up as best as possible. When I reached The Wall, I had:

- 2 pistols (1 with power mod)
- 4 red armors
- Around 600 bullets
- 6 large medpacks
- 3 phase devices

When I used the first phase device, I spawned on the left side, but got completely surrounded by barons and hell knights. They attacked me en masse, quickly destroying my red armors and I was using my medpacks like crazy. At that point I realized I was going to die if I stayed at that spot, and there was no way to make it to the room in the back, so I used my second phase device...

...Lucky! I spawned again on the left side, closer to the room. I got there and killed them all one by one. And then I used my last phase device...and spawned on the right side.

Clearly I was blessed by the RNG today, both in term of equipment before reaching The Wall and phase device usage. The amount of luck you need to get this badge is absurd.

...and I am rather disappointed.

Fireangel is nowhere as fun as I had hoped. I had about 40 rockets after clearing the wall (I went there for the backpack, but I forgot it doesn't work on AoP -_-), and I was expecting to blow up everything for the rest of the game. But, while you don't take damage from explosions, your armor does, and it gets wrecked pretty fast if you shoot too much at close range. And rockets deplete fast when you're in a shooting spree. When I reached Hell I had about 20 rockets so I had to conserve ammo for Phobos Arena.

And the Cybie fight was tough. For some reason I still took damage from his rockets that blew up next to me, even though they didn't hit me directly. Because of that I almost didn't make it, at some point I thought I'd die and I fired up the thermonuclear bomb. Then I started firing rockets at point blank range and expected him to beat me up to a pulp, but he died first, lol

Anyway, I'm not bothering with this trait again.

I finally did it, took me a lot of attempts. There were so many close calls it's not even funny.

- In a couple of times Revenants get my health down to 4%;

- In another occasion I thought I was safe and I held down the arrow button. A Revenant appears and shoot me THREE times before I can react. Very stupid mistake that almost cost me the game;

- Turning around corners and instantly lose about half my health thanks to Viles and spiders. They made me burn so many healthpacks I was worried I wouldn't have enough for Cybie;

- I see a megasphere on the other side of a large pool of lava, I decide to go around it to get it. In the process 2 Barons and a Revenant almost kill me. I burn another healthpack and go for it just to repair my red armor, then a spider appears, destroys my armor and puts me at 20%. I said "screw this" and ran for the stairs.

I'm really surprised how hard it was, considering I had ammochain. At least Cybie went down easily, dodging his rockets is no problem. And lol at finishing the game wearing a green armor.

I'll try doing a AoSh now (I doubt I can win though, considering how hard it gets on Hell), and then I'll be set for N!.

I decided to try out the Cateye build for the first time, and I really liked it. Early-game the chaingun is very effective with +4 accuracy, and you can snipe enemies before they can get in your LOS. This uses a lot of ammo though, and I was worried about running out of it at some point.

Then I found the Nuclear Plasma Rifle =D I knew I had won the game already, I just had to be careful. Just in case I carried a spare plasma rifle (which was a really good idea -- it saved my ass a couple of times) and a RL to blow up walls and kill large groups.

The only time I ran the risk of  dying was entering a spider cave level and getting surrounded by spiders right off the bat. Thankfully I was invulnerable, otherwise I'd have died for sure.

Now let's see how this build turns out in UV, with limited ammo.

To be honest this was much easier than I expected, mainly because Plasmarifle + Ammochain is so powerful. Not even packs of Viles & Mancubi are a threat since you can kill them well before they see you. Enter a room, shoot in all directions and if you hear a scream, keep shooting in that direction. Repeat.

At around level 50 it got so boring that I just went straight to the stairs for the rest of the game (hence my low kill percentage). This was on HNTR but higher difficulties shouldn't be a problem too, once the combo is set.

Kornel really should look into this, because the combo is just too powerful and takes away most of the challenge. I don't see myself beating this mode with any other build.

Discussion / A few newb questions
« on: January 18, 2009, 20:35 »
Hi there, first post here. First of all, I wanted to give a big thanks to Kornel for making this awesome game, it's really addicting. I've been playing it non-stop for a few days now.

I do have a few questions about the game, though. I lurked for a bit but didn't find answers, so I'll try to sum up everything in this thread:

--

1) If I take 3 levels of SoaG and 3 levels of SoaB, my ToDmg Ranged shows only +3, when it was supposed to be +6. The wiki says they stack with each other, but apparently they don't?

2) If I take 3 levels of Brute, my ToDmg Melee shows +9, it should be at +12. Is that a bug?

3) The Longinus Spear gives you an armor bonus (6 armor IIRC). Does that stack with other armors?

4) My game crashes every once in a while; the window just closes all of a sudden and I lose my savegame. Looking around the bug report section, someone mentions it's related to the music (when it tries to loop, some error occurs and it crashes), and I did notice that it crashes exactly when the music ends. I think Kornel already knows about this, but will it be fixed in the next version?

Thanks in advance.
