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

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!.

Well, to be honest I never tried using the DShotty around corners before. I tried it just now, and you're right, it works great when the CShotty fails. Thanks for that.

Regarding traits, I went for SM at first but I was dying too much on early levels, so I started going for badass instead. I'll try using Deaver's build from now on and see how it goes.

Nightmare! / Re: [N!/65%/AoSg/25/YASD] So close
« on: October 31, 2009, 16:54 »
Isn't the combat shotgun more effective at that? The DShotty has a big damage dropoff at distances. I only use it at very close enemies.

Stuff that I normally do:

- Shoot around cornes with the combat shotgun
- Shoot at unrevealed areas to find enemies
- Go for badass first, then shottyman, then MAD (I rarely survive long enough for MAD though)

In the end I think I'm just having bad luck with the RNG, but if there's something else I'm missing, I'd love to hear it.

Any tips on how to get that far in an AoSh? That's by far my favorite challenge but I can't survive long in it (never reached Phobos Hell in UV or 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.

Using the BFG in a small group of enemies in another game gave me the UAC Star bronze. I'm suspecting that it may be indeed related to the number of enemies killed in a single shot.

You guys should check if you get that medal when you use a BFG in a group of enemies.

I guess the Aurora-Medallion is related to the number of uniques (on normal levels?) in a run, maybe if you find 4+?

In my AoSg win I got the Aurora Medal, and I indeed found 4 uniques in that run. But in my Ao100 game I found 12 uniques and didn't get it.

And still wandering about the Explorers badge: Maybe seeing all items in a run? Venturing through all possible extra-levels?

Exploring all levels entirely? Makes sense.

« on: October 26, 2009, 07:48 »
Now that I think about it, in the run I got the UAC Star Gold medal, there was one room with two pain elementals. I was invulnerable at the time and switched to the chainsaw, and then they spew an incredible amount of lost souls, enough to fill up the whole room (my mortem shows that I killed 2 pain elementals and 115 lost souls). At that point I fired the BFG and all of them were killed. So it's probably related to the number of kills in a single shot.

For the record, that was on ITYTD and my kill percentage at the end of the run was 97% (death in the spider's lair).

There's probably another medal for a fist only game.

Yesterday I got the UAC Star (Gold Cluster) but I didn't reach the end. So you're not required to win the game to get that one.

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.
