Also, that BFG was loaded when I entered the level :)

(I should add that all my instincts are calibrated for environments where shotguns not backed up by AotD tend to suck against bosses.)

OK, so we all know Max Carnage is easier than Standard, but given I have a better record on Angel of Berserk than on Standard, it was pretty gratifying for me.

Observations/comments:

Int 2 is crazy overpowered, especially on AoMC. I can see an argument for saying it should disqualify you from rewards based on damage avoidance.

Military Base, "amusingly", provides worse equipment rewards on HNTR than on ITYTD, because the commandos are replaced with low-end elites, meaning no plasma rifles.

I cleared Limbo, but was standing on a staircase island when I finished off the viles. Given I was wearing Tactical Boots and had no envirosuit packs left, dashing across the lava was not going to happen, so no Angelic Armor for me.

The double shotty and power mod were in my bag on the off chance that Hell 7 would spawn a sniper pack and let me finish off Technician Gold.

I'm trying to be mysterious but still mildly helpful.
Except that like everyone else who knows anything about the subject, you're plenty of the former and none of the latter.

These are on ITYTD/HNTR, and skewed by my ineptitude:

Chained Court revisions: Fantastic. Resolves the silliness where you needed to crack the corner rooms open - but if you did the Arena (the only likely source of wall-cracking at that point in the game), you got the open layout with no corner rooms so didn't need it. Also, hiding the rewards for CC+ behind a wall is nice.

Phobos Lab: Combat shotty and a couple of mods? Potentially worth the visit, but the ambushes are a nasty surprise.

Military Base: XP and plasma rifles. Tasty, but can be a bit hairy. Fortunately, the builds on which it's scariest probably don't need the kit.

Containment Area: Nasty surprise the first time, but probably defusable.

Phobos Anomaly: Removing the preliminary monsters completely on ITYTD was probably the right idea.

Abyssal Plains: Yelp! Getting locked in a confined space with an Agony Elemental is... alarming.

New Spiders' Lair: It's a place. It's a bit less scary, and removing the nuclear plasma rifle is sad but not that sad.

Mt. Erebus: As a replacement for the Lava Pits, fine. As an alternative to them, I'm not convinced.

Why does Berserker Gold only require HMP, given that AoB is easier than both (a) AoMr and (b) a standard game using only knives and fists?

Bug Reports / [0.9.9.6G] Graphical movement lag unacceptable
« on: March 10, 2012, 04:21 »
Doomguy moves from tile to tile slower than my fingers move from movement key to movement key, and I cannot find a configuration option to make him not do so.

This renders the graphical version unplayable for me, I'm afraid.

« on: February 21, 2012, 14:19 »
BTW, while we are on keyboardly stuff, can I request moving move controls to keypad? It's a bit easier to manage the diagonal movement with it than with home/end/pgup/pgdn.
Take numlock off.

Any tips for dealing with Cybie in a pistol game in 0995, given that he shows up earlier and will try to shoot through walls to kill you?

54
I've searched the forum, Kornel.

It doesn't help, unless you mean "rummage through the noise until you find some oblique hints and nudge-nudge-wink-wink allusions" rather than "use the search". The only explicit statement I've seen is that the requirement is definitely not simply "Brute 3" and (from you) that the requirements were tightened in a recent version.

55
Considering that it fires rockets and is only 1 tile from you, I don't think he will fire though...
Monsters will consider firing at you any time they (a) can see you (b) are not next to you. Even if you're two squares away and they have radius 2 or greater on their ranged attack. (Cybie is immune to his own rockets, but bruisers, at least, are not immune to their own acid balls; I've seen one deal itself the killing blow.)

56
Of course it does. The primary blast from a napalm launcher is a huge wad of fire damage.

57
There is never any monster lag on the first level of the game. The reason you don't notice this in games that use the "entrance" maps for level 1 is that it takes you longer to reach LOS of the monsters than it would take for the "lag" to wear off.

0.9.9.3 / Re: [M|96%|16|YASD] Karma caught up to me
« on: May 17, 2011, 18:53 »
The annoying thing with the corner-shooting mechanics is the weird asymmetries - firing around a corner to skim the north face of a wall that runs east-west feels like it should be exactly the same as firing around a corner to skim the east face of a wall that runs north-south, but it isn't.

I think the even more accurate comment on the subject of shells here is "If you are using shotguns, make sure you do Halls of Carnage, since it's 100% guaranteed to spawn and provides a pleasingly large quantity of shotgun shells."

Tweaks that are... less than entirely relevant to shotgunners, but a nasty surprise to anyone who was just using it as a quickie health boost :)

Wild speculation: There's a missing check in the "decline to make assembly" code path.
