mAC AoLT is a walk in the park. I did it first try, at least on HNTR, and it was one of my favorite runs.

I bet. Ammo Chain sounds like a good idea. Rapidfire weapons aren't really my favourite so I've never done mAC. I should give it a shot some time, I'd probably like it.

nuclear plasma rifle.

Ah hah! That would help the ammo situation a bit...

Congrats on AoLT! Not an easy challenge, though I suspect melee makes it the easiest. When I did it, I did a rapid fire build, and it was kinda sketchy. But the RNG gave me an onyx, too. :)

Rapid fire! With 5 slots? How did you conserve ammo? I imagine eagle eye would help, but not enough.

0.9.9.6 / Re: [H|100%|YAVP] EEEE BOI
« on: March 16, 2012, 23:53 »
I like the build! Pure shotgun build. I remember loving the shotgun in my last DoomRL binge period, during 0.9.9.3/4. Very satisfying weapon to focus on, decent ammo efficiency, and you did so well with a simple tactical shotgun.

I look forward to winning a HMP game one of these days, good on you, Hexadoken. My best successes are often the runs I don't expect to do well in... RNG spends many runs screwing me over, then it decides to throw all kinds of awesome at me in one run.

5
Darn lost souls... That's the most annoying part of that level, in my opinion. I've lately been less afraid of the bruiser brothers than being surrounded by a large pack of lost souls. I used to liberally fear the brothers and liberally squash the lost souls, but then I think the level was set up differently back then...

But then I keep forgetting to try rocket jump and/or running! In fact, I've never used a rocket jump... And I haven't tried running (or remembered how) since 0.9.9.4, when I used to regularly run.

6
In my opinion, onyx red is good enough that you don't need to worry about any of the assemblies.  Of course, I've never made any of those assemblies either >_>
It pretty much is just easy with a dedicated melee build, or at least one with Berserker; Malicious Blades may have a bit harder time.

Congratulations on the win.

I'm not enjoying my attempts at malicious blades. ;) Now that I think about it, with no berserker, and with the best guaranteed weapons not being blades, I think I'll just go vampyre on a true AoB challenge.

But eventually I gotta challenge myself with different play styles.

 51 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 49 of those were killed.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.

 1 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 1 killed the bitch and survived.

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

Started out thinking "let's go shotgun."

A little while later "uh oh, no ammo."

Followed by "hehe, chainsaw."

Followed further by "hahahahahahahaaaaaaa! CHAINSAW!!!!"

;)

RNG gave me an onyx pack. Went into red armor, helped lots.

First Angel of Death killed. Was too easy. Maybe it was the onyx (and berserker/vampyre).

Spider Mastermind took 2 large health packs to beat.

All in all, I found that access to a shotgun made the early game much easier to survive to become deadly in melee. Without the 5 slot inventory restriction, I wouldn't have thought to focus on melee outside of AoB, having gotten the impression that melee is generally suicidal.

Now I see it does lots of damage... Once you really get the ball rolling. And it feels good to run up to your enemy and pulp them up close.

Itching to try Malicious Blades with a couple levels of whizkid (or the luck to find the butcher's knife).

I still have yet to try ammochain. I've been trying to go for high accuracy and power to limit ammo use, but I wanna try ammochain some time on a standard run.

Congrats on winning. :) My first win was 99% kills too. Doh! You'll get 100% one of these times soon.

 Before him 82 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 72 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 2 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 5 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 2 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 killed the bastard and survived.

Points of interest in this adventure:

Build used: SoG/DG moving toward Fin/WK, ending with TaN. Very solid build, as firing times were wicked-fast, pistols were eventually modded up the wazoo, and skin got a little thicker around Mancubus/Vile time.

Guns preferred (by the end): dual modified pistol (2d6) [5/10] (A1B2P2) which chewed through everything nicely.

Armor preference: Tactical armor/boots until Phaseshift and Malek's came around. Used red nanofiber a bit. Malek's is one of my fave armours. Gotta thank Malek! :)

-A baron of hell got a hold of the Cybernetic Armor in the Vaults. Funtimes, almost ran out of ammo in there, but unloaded a couple chainguns off the floor and cleared it. :)

-Made a speed loader pistol and a storm bolter pistol but never used them. :P Just wanted them on my list... Was definitely blessed with lots of mod packs.

-Cleared Hell's Arena (yay power modded pistol!), Chained Court (tactical boots as always), Hell's Armory (more mod packs), and the Vaults (yay chainguns on the floor).

-Second last level had several mancubi and a couple arch viles. :P Gotta love mowing half of them down before they touch you... With PISTOLS!

-100% kills for the first time. :) (lol, first win I missed ONE monster, standard game, HNTR) Pistols rock it seems, but I think some luck may have been involved. Would have taken Cyberdemon's head scratchless if only I had reloaded appropriately the first time...

-Finally got Warrant Officer. :)

This is my first post on these forums. Excuse me if my highlights are a little wordy. I'm a (well-spoiled) noob. :) Hello everybody!

Btw, I just now noticed a very peculiar pillar in the screenshot. ;) Wonder what could live down there.
