Requests For Features / Re: Cornershooting, sound and radarshooting
« on: May 03, 2013, 22:04 »
DoomRL is somewhat unique among RLs in how much is left to skill instead of dicerolls, I'd rather not see cornershooting changed into a percent chance to be hit.

So the this was my first HMP run, and since my last run as Ammochain seemed to be pretty lucky, I figured I'd give it another shot. Everything was going pretty well. Not only did Armory give me a firestorm pack and a laser rifle, but the vaults provided me with a BFG 10k, which much to be delight, I discovered worked with Ammochain. My last Ammochain run had also provided me with a laser rifle, which I had later turned into a burst laser rifle that had served me quite well, so I was intent on making a new one. Unfortunately while the RNG was generous with the weapons, it was stingy with the power mods. I had only found one, which I used to make a tactical shotgun for the first boss. By the time I had gotten to Mortuary, I had still yet to find another, bit I knew there should be one at one of the mortuary exits. I wasn't able to do City of Skulls at the point I had reached it, so I didn't have any Rage Skulls to smooth things over, but I figured my laser rifle and BFG 10K would serve me well enough. Indeed, they were quite useful, but the endless waves of enemies raised by those pesky, ever-fleeing Archviles eventually wore down my health and ammo reserves until I had 40% health, no heath packs, and only the ammo still inside the magazines. But I still didn't have that power pack. At any point, I could have left safely, but there I was no way I was letting those asshole coward archviles keep my pack from me. And so it was that the RNG that had saw how I meet it's generosity with only more greed saw it fit to end my hubris once and for once, and leave me to my sell deserved, self-inflicted fate.

I think this would be pretty cool if only for an aesthetics reason.

I think it would be cool to see corner shooting made a little more offical by letting you see anything that you could hit with a trade off of the difficulty being increased in some other way. I thought it would probably increase pace quite a bit.

Discussion / Re: Branching Out to Other Roguelikes

Incursion is one of my favorites:
http://www.incursion-roguelike.net/
It's got some of the best varied ASCII dungeon design I've seen, tons of interesting and unique loot, and is based off D&D 3.5.
Unfortunately, it's been in development hell forever, and was recently shelved by it's developer.
SotS: The Pit is one I've been playing recently:
http://sots-thepit.com/
The RNG can be rather cruel in terms of not being able to find vital equipment, and the combat is rather slow and simple, but it's otherwise a surprisingly polished and well thought out RL. There's a huge variety of items that can be found and crafted, and a metagame involving learning crafting recipes for useful equipment or food are persistent between characters. You could just looked them up on the wiki, but this is one of the few game's I've not been felt the urge to do so.

Ammo isn't the problem, it's all those skulls and hellwave packs I never use because I'm afraid I'll need them even more later.

I meant just the generic weapons. Like melee, shotguns, and chain guns all have guaranteed upgrades at some point.

Requests For Features / Re: Tech mods and armor, small change?
« on: April 14, 2013, 13:16 »I think giving resistances depending on armor types is a good idea.I'm pretty much the same way, I'm constantly looking at wikis. The only exception is SotS: The Pit, where learning new recipes is one of the core mechanics of the game.
Another would be to allow any mod use for resistances improvement, as another way of improving armors. e.g. bulk could add 100% durability or 25% "low" resists (melee/shrap/bullets). P could give +2 armor or 25%.. maybe acid ? T and A would improve plasma/fire.
What I don't like in this idea is that it makes mod use "more complicated", but what seems good is that I would use something else than always A and P. Carrying multiple armors would become quite interesting.
Same opinion here.
I love roguelikes for their difficulty, but I *hate* hidden knowledge. Some call information spoilers, but this just appears to be the game rules to me.
Anyway, even after reading wikis or whatever, you'll still need to experiment, since there is a huge gap between theory and practice. But not having enough in-game informations (like monsters resistances, or some precise items effects, e.g. forshockwave pack) is really frustrating, especially when discovering the game.
It's the same problem with unintuitive cornershooting... if I didn't watch a video of gameHunter, I would'nt have figured that monster's line of sight are intentionally bad, and would have stopped playing, because "HMP is too hard"...
As long as roguelikes are so complicated, they will remain a niche for geeks... It's too bad millions of people play WoW but only a few know doomRL :(

Started playing again, and finally managed to beat the game on HNTR, so I thought I'd post some thoughts.
It kind of feels like pistol variety is lacking compared to the other weapons. Everything else has at least one other guaranteed upgrade, and their two-mod assemblies also seem better. I also feel like Oynx, Sniper, and Firestorm are a bit behind Nano in terms of assemblies. Also, don't if it's a bug, but Shamblers don't make hit sounds, which makes it hard to tell if I'm hitting them or not.

The wiki says exotics can be used to make my assemblies, but I tried making my assault shotgun into a tactical shotgun, and it didn't work.

I noticed my tactical shotgun doesn't work with the Shottyman trait. Was it always like this?
Edit:
Seems to bee all shotguns actually. I didn't get any blocked perks.
