So, many of you have been asking me to record some of my play. I bring you: The Mortuary on in a Dragonslayer run! I didn't record the earlier portion to protect the secrecy of the Dragonslayer, but I also wanted to show you how it works. The portion up to the Unholy Cathedral was a damageless N! run with all special levels but The Wall.

68 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
3 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
33 killed the bitch and survived.

I got one question ...how do you clear UC damageless, without Brute?
-
Fling knives and run around the outside of the level. I used enviropacks to not take damage from the lava. However, this time I just waited until they got close to me, and then blademaster-killed them. I also had Grav Boots, so I could outrun all the enemies. On the AoD, my pattern was: wait wait whack step back, with a variable amount of waiting.

Waiting strategy seems pretty similar to my last AoMr runs :) .
Thanks for the info, I may try more N! runs soon :) .

Just one note: the recording was done with Dos Recorder.

Really inspirational stuff. Say, was the DS wielding requirement as facepalm-inducingly simple as they say after all?
-
This demo is awesome! But I'd like to see more of the early game.. when you have permanent berserk and Dragonslayer, it seems so easy..
Awesome stuff
-
it is really simple if you know

The operative words are underlined and bolded for your convenience... :P

*Sigh*... I was really hoping to beat you to figuring out the Dragonslayer. (Not that it's a competition or anything) ;) I've had a theory about how to do it for the last two weeks, but all of my games lately have either had crappy luck or in one notable case, *really* crappy luck... (or I just made bone-headed decisions, but who wants to admit to that?) :P
Anyway, congrats on joining the cool club of Slayers! :)
-
I guess it's still possible to beat 2DeviationsOut to some of the 5 medals he's still missing, though I think fallout platinum was the only one I think I have even remote chance to get if I get extremely lucky.
-
I'm reasonably worried that, if 2Dev manages to finish up collecting the badges and medals, he will disappear suddenly and we will never see him again, just like every other good player that's come before him. (Not that anyone's ever gotten ALL of them, but it's related to that.) With any luck, 0.9.9.7 will have a lot more "to do" for a collector, and it'd be a shame if he left before that happened.
-
You hear that, Neo? The fabric of the Matrix is warping before your eyes!
@Game Hunter: is there any ETA on 0.9.9.7, tentative or otherwise? Can't wait to see the revamped achievement system!
-
I'm still going to be around, you won't get rid of me that easily. After all, I'll just have completed all of the official badges/medals. There isn't any reason that I can't do even more insane things.
-
even more insane things.
How about AoH melee only without using any armour? Is that possible? If yes, feel free to add additional crazy requirements (N!, fist only, whatever)
-
Or use some unapriopriate builds, like Gun Kata / Cateye for melee :D

I'm still waiting for Kornel to either return from or finish resting up after the GDC (Game Developer's Conference), and haven't wanted to work on any significant changes until I can pitch the idea to him for a shot at prototyping it. This is to say that we might not do anything like that (hence "with any luck").

Good to hear! I'm hoping that enough changes will be included in the next release to keep even the most experience players occupied with plenty to do, conducts aside.
-
What about releasing version with bugfixes only?
-
AoB N! without Brute? :3

I doubt that the good players of the past left because they ran out of things to do in the game. Sometimes, real life just takes precedence over gaming. DoomRL is a great game, a very fun and addictive game, and I heartily commend Kornel for his work, but in the end, it's just a game. Diversions like this come and go and it doesn't indicate any fault in the game or in the people playing it if those people decide to find something else to do. And no game, no matter how good, can take more importance than, say, having a source of income and having social interactions with family and friends.
Speaking for myself, my periods of playing the game correspond most heavily with periods when I was most depressed. I first discovered the game in late 2010 after losing my job, then stopped in April 2011 when significant positive developments occurred in my social life, then started again in late July 2011, when everything went wrong again. DoomRL helps fill a void in my life by distracting me from my real life problems, so I guess you could say it's some weird form of therapy. :) (Although, it's probably not the "healthiest" coping mechanism out there) My point is that the period when I stopped had nothing to do with the game itself and if I stop playing again, it probably won't have anything to do with the game then either. I can't speak for 2Deviationsout in terms of what motivates him, but I'm guessing that, as he said, he won't stop playing just because he gets all the medals. There will always be another seemingly unbeatable goal out there... even if it's Angel of Pacifism Conqueror. :P
Erm... sorry for filling this thread with philosophical ramblings about gaming. I'll try to karmatically balance this post by donating. Now that I have a source of income again, it's about time! :D

Melee Cateye might be doable if you're not interested in killing monsters beyond what you need for Cateye.

But I'm talking about 100% kills :D N! AoHu 100% melee Cateye! ;p
