0.9.9.2 / Re: [U|AoH|91%|8|YASD] nanofibre cybernetic armour

Keep it if you want, but nanofibre cybernetic armor isn't that much of a long shot if you want to try reproducing it.

Turns out you were right!  Check this out:  (I swear this is a different game!)  :D

The addition of tactical boots helped offset the snail effect of the armour and I got my runner gold after all!  :D

Walking around on Phobos Hell level 8 with less than 80% health is a huge mistake IMO.  Doing it with a 55% movement speed penalty and on Ultra-Violence is just begging for instant death.  Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I think you deserved to die.  Even at 100% health you're never completely safe at that depth and difficulty level.

Ha ha!  Forgive me for finding this funny, but I think this is the first time I've ever been told, in any context, that I deserve to die.  :)  Point taken.  I agree that I was careless and that my initial reaction of apparent "unfairness" was unfounded.

« on: March 08, 2011, 02:02 »
Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured too.  I just hate to see such potential go to waste like this.  :|

See all those small medpacks? You could have been tanking around with 75%-100% health and avoided this.

I usually guard my med-packs jealously and don't use them unless I really need to, like if my health dips below 40%, or sometimes 20% if I'm feeling lucky.  That strategy has gotten me killed on more than a few occasions, but there have also been many times that I use one just before finding a berserk or supercharge around the next corner and then I just feel like I wasted it.  It's a bit of a gamble either way, but I'll concede the point that I'm probably too stingy with the med-packs.

0.9.9.2 / [U|AoH|91%|8|YASD] nanofibre cybernetic armour
« on: March 07, 2011, 11:29 »
This was a game where I seemed sure to win right up to the second that I died very abruptly and unexpectedly.  :(  At 48% health with level 3 TaN, I was reasonably confident that I could survive an unexpected barrage, especially since I was lucky enough to find Cybernetic armour accompanied by the components for nanofibre armour in the armoury!  It slowed me down to 1.55 seconds per move, but basically turned me into a walking fortress.

I never saw the mancubus that killed me, nor the napalm barrel that apparently went off, plunging me into lava.  I literally went from having no sign of danger one move to dead the next.

So, now I have a dilemma, because I made a back-up of the saved game just after I got the nanofibre cybernetic armour.  (for posterity)  Normally, I don't like save-scumming, but I feel, at least partially, justified in restoring that game, since it would have been my first ever runner gold badge and I feel like there was more unreasonable unfairness than usual in my death this time.

What do you guys think?  How much is it frowned upon in this community to restore games like this?

Yeah, good advice...  (If I could only pry myself away from the game)  :P

I suppose next time I should get SOB earlier to save shells.  That and/or get the Arch-Viles to raise sergeants a few times.

I went into this game with some goals in mind:  Get Shottyman gold and silver and maybe, if I could, get veteran platinum.  The game was going very well;  I had an assault shotty, and for a while, a super shotty, which I later replaced with the Jackhammer.

Unfortunately, I ran into ammo shortages toward the end and I was forced to skip the lava pits, so I figured that I'd just nuke cybie for a partial win.  Then when I found an invulnerability on level 24, I got overly greedy and tried for the full win even though I only had a handful of shells left.  I should have known I didn't have enough ammo.  I should have just nuked JC.  I wouldn't have gotten the platinum, but I could at least have achieved the shottyman badges.  As it is, that's over three hours of gameplay for nothing, because I didn't get any badges.  :(  Just stupidity on my part, I guess...

@AStranger, I was going to make a comment about that being very good advice, but it turns out that it's actually really quite excellent advice!  Thanks!  :D

@thelaptop, I read somewhere that the chance of going berserk from the berserker trait is modified by the amount of damage you do, so I gambled that increasing my damage might help me maintain the berserk longer.  I didn't compare the relative chances, but it seemed to help me win and it contributed to my first Berserker Diamond badge, so there you go.  :)

Nightmare! / [N|AoB|44%|YAVP] Yay! Berserker Diamond! :D
« on: March 05, 2011, 11:14 »
So, somebody gave me good advice for completing AoB Nightmare and it worked!  :D  Apparently, I was just way too bloodthirsty in my previous games.  :P  I did stop to kill the nightmare creatures at hellgate, though.  I was invulnerable, so it was a good opportunity for valuable experience toward getting Vampyre.

The tensest of tense moments occurred on level 24, though, when I found myself in a hellish cave populated by arachnotrons and my berserk ran out!  :o  I was down to my last med-pack (a small one) and I hadn't even found the exit, and I thought I was about to lose after all, but then the RNG said, "Ha ha ha!  Just joking, you can win now." And I spotted the exit with (and I swear to the RNG it's true) a berserk pack next to it!  I could almost picture a little sign hanging on it saying:

"Dear Tormuse,

Use this to kill the Cyberdemon,

sincerely,
Random Number God."

I doubt that I would've won without that pack.  Praise be to the RNG!  :D

0.9.9.2 / [M|AoB|96%|YAFW] My first "real" Longinus badge :)
« on: March 05, 2011, 01:13 »
After trying (and failing) about a hundred times to do AoB on Nightmare, I thought I'd try an easier difficulty just for a change of pace, and whaddya know?  I got it on my first try.  :)

This mortem marks the first time I've ever beaten the AoD fairly, without lava-walking.  (Hence the thread title)  :P  Since I was berserk at the time, (from fighting the demons) I didn't even need to use a single med-pack!

Would have been YAAM and a brick silver too if my phase devices had cooperated and put me on the correct side of the wall.  (Oh well...)  At least I was able to send JC off with a bang!  :D

Meh, it's no biggie...  I kind of figured the AMS had some use beyond the more obvious one, especially in light of the fact that I keep seeing "Arena key" show up in other people's mortems.

0.9.9.2 / Re: [M|AoLT|YAAM] Fairly Clean AoLT run.
« on: March 04, 2011, 19:12 »
Since Im used to playing at UV, this HNTR run was fairly clean as seen by the Arena Key, Cyberdemon Head, and the Gold Cluster

It's such a change, eh?  I've gotten used to playing Nightmare lately and I find that even just switching to UV is jarring in how much easier the game suddenly is.  Funny what we get used to when aiming for the higher badges.  :)

Losing the PG on a MAC run seems like a bit of a PITA, but looks like you came out all right.  Congrats!  :D

0.9.9.2 / Re: [E][97%][YASD] Oh, wow
« on: March 04, 2011, 19:05 »
The Necroarmor is my favourite armour!  Some of my best runs have Necroarmour in them.  Sure, it saps your health every time you get hit, but the way I see it, if you're wearing lesser armour, you're going to lose that health anyway.  Better to have your life saved by the strong Necroarmor and take the life drain later.  I'm surprised you weren't wearing it at the end!  It might have saved your life!

(Well, that and using one of those med-packs before going through that last door)  :)

I'd say you were right to stay out of the mortuary.  The Hellwave Pack produces an explosion around you roughly the size of the Cyberdemon explosion at the end of the game.  It wouldn't be big enough to encompass all the Arch-Viles in the mortuary.  The shockwave pack you have creates a comparatively smaller explosion.  (Note that Hellwave packs and shockwave packs are two different items)

Nice victory post, though.  You might want to change the thread title from YAVP to YAAM, (Yet Another Ass-Kicking Marine) since you got 100% kills.  Give yourself credit where it's due.  :)

1574
I accidentally wasted it.  :(  (Oops!)  And it's never dangerous to get the gear that appears at the end of Hell Arena.  I've beat Hell Arena at Nightmare a few times now and the enemies stop regenerating once you've been declared champion.

Nightmare! / [N!|AoB|51%|6|YASSSD] Arena Diamond Badge!!!!!
« on: March 01, 2011, 22:02 »
You see those stairs next to my corpse on the map below?  That was the entrance to the freakin' Chained Court!  AAARRRGH!  Sooo  freakin' close!  :(  The extra "S's" in the thread title stand for "Stupid Stupid Stupid!"  :P  Could've been a really sweet berserker diamond too otherwise.

(Oh well)

Anyway, I had a phenomenally lucky build-up to Hell's Arena.  Picture this:  On level 2, there were three vaults, two full of demons and the other full of cacodemons and four berserk packs!  I brought myself up to character level 4 just from those vaults and got my marine pimped out with some nice gear.  I entered the arena still berserk and carrying three blue armours and 4 large med-packs.  My strategy in the arena:  Each time I killed a cacodemon, I would stand over its corpse so that the next cacodemon that shot at me would destroy the body, so it couldn't regenerate.  Taking advantage of the extra armour from zerking, I cleared the arena of demons and cacodemons this way.  Things got tense when facing the barons because my berserk ran out and didn't come back, but I had juuuuust enough med-packs and armour to survive it.  Even with the crazy armanents I went in with, I came out with 44% health, all my med-packs gone, and one suit of blue armour left at 4%.
