Discussion / Re: What is Apostle?
« on: August 27, 2014, 13:38 »
There's 2 ways to find/get Apostle.
The obvious way involves getting Dragonslayer and Berserker Armor(i think, not sure) and Fighting the Apostle in the end.
The more fun way is to Kill JC 50 Times once you've killed your share of Arch Viles/Hell Barons/Other Enemies to ascend high enough in experience rank. This way YOU get to become an Apostle. What causes JC to respawn?

Discussion / Best way to get Biggest F***ing Gun Assembly
« on: August 27, 2014, 13:36 »
I've been working on my last Assembly needed for Technician Diamond: The Biggest Fucking Gun. Requires Mods BBFF as a Master Assembly with 2 Levels in Whizkid.
I've seen the Pros and Cons of trying to get this assembly through various means:
1. Standard Game. Pros: Guaranteed BFG9000 at Halls of Carnage/Spider's Lair. Cons: Short Game consists of Less Exotics/Uniques for the 2 Firestorm Mods needed, and sometimes you're unlucky enough to get killed by 2 shamblers in Deimos Lab because Hells Armory wasn't rolled instead.
2. Ao100/AAo666: Pros: Plenty of Exotics/Uniques to disassemble for the 2 Firestorm Mods. Cons: BFG9000 Drop is unlikely, and I've went an entire Ao100 finding ONLY ONE BFG9000 at Floor 98. Ao666 Tends to kill me early on more often, and I don't know why.

2 Questions before the options that lay before you:
1: Can Shamblers heal? I've noticed that the last time I died to the Twin Shamblers in Deimos Lab, at some point they both said "scratched", then one of them said "almost unhurt". The reason why I died is because there was no rockets for the 2 Rocket Launchers and 1 Missile Launcher that dropped, and no plasma weapons in sight. It was either chaingun or tactical shotgun, and neither did much damage at all.
2: Is Ao666 deadlier/harder than Ao100, given both are done on HNTR as a Scavenger Build, around Floors 3-18?

How should I go about this last assembly?
A. Do Standard Game and Pray you get Hells Armory(that happens to have Firestorm Mod after shambler and not Nano/Onyx/Sniper)
B. Do Ao100 and Pray that the BFG9000 Drops at all
C. Do Ao666 and Pray that you don't get your but kicked before you reach Floor 25
D. Consider one of the 3 above options, and also say that the last Assembly I need happens to be the hardest one to get(Answer in Form of DA, DB or DC for this one)
E. Select Option A, B, C, DA, DB or DC, but don't play a scavenger because the lack of damage/survival is worse than the lower chance of Firestorm Mods

By the time I found the first chainsaw, I was already well established(already had malicious blades + 2xChainswords) and didn't really need it.

As for me trying HMP, I can get up to around Phobos 5-7 before I either run out of medpacks or get slaughtered by a Pink Demon. Sometimes the RNG has the balls to put Pink Demons in the same room as I on floor 1, without a combat knife, and I'll be lucky to close the door on the sucker before I get raped by it's melee. With only 1 Trait point in Brute, the Pink Demon would easily beat me in a Hit-Trading Scenario, even if I was at full health with first strike. If I do it enough(and probably get myself killed at least 15-20 times, up to 40-50), I might be able to breach the hard part.

As for my trying UV, I don't have to worry about Pink Demons as much, but there's so many formers in the starting rooms on almost every floor, I don't have time to kill them all before I get shot to death. Usually the next room is full of enemies too, so I don't really have any cover in melee. Somehow I die much earlier on UV than on HMP, despite there being less Pink Demons and other hard stuff. I'll probably die at least 70-90 times before I get anywhere if I try this difficulty instead. I also noticed that the health kit/globule spawning is the same as on HMP(possibly less?)

I got a question: Who has an easier melee earlygame? scout or technician, provided I can't waste points in intuition lest I get killed by mancubi/arachnotrons before I master.

I also don't have a way to call the Pink Minotaur-like Demon things from doom. What's the Official Name for them? You can't just call them "Demon" since that's too generic and can apply to other "Demons" that look and act completely different(like in other media).

I like to call the Imp Demon things that throws fireballs: "Chewbacca Demons" since they kinda look like a wookie to me.(or at least they did when I was a kid watching my older brother play Doom).

Also: How do I reduce the clutter in the mortem folder as well as the highscore table? is there a limit or will it destroy my game with 2 billion highscore entries? The mortems I can just delete if they take too much room, right? or should I not do that?

34
This is actually Newbie's worst in DoomRL. He's done better, but not much better. He still can't get past Phobos Anomaly on ITYTD, but at least he made it to Phobos Anomaly once. I even still have the mortem if you guys are interested.

35
I decided to give up the UV AoSh for a little bit and work on my Centurial Blade Bandit Challenge. It took a few tries, but I managed to get at least silver: http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,7198.msg63435.html#new
Right now I'm working on getting Blade Bandit Gold/Platinum. RNG loves to murder in the first 16 levels, but then the game gets easy after level 30.

36
Note: I did this on purpose. I don't really suck that bad. But Newbie Novisson does. I can't believe you can't score lower than 500 points.

Although I specifically said "The only assemblies allowed is Chainsword, Piercing Blade, Tactical Armor and Tactical Boots", does (AOP) Modded Red Armor count as an assembly, or is it just modded? It's not under the assemblies list, but if it is considered an assembly then I'm disqualified. Aside from that, I followed the rules strictly, and won the malicious knives cross for my effort.

I noticed that this challenge gets much easier after around floor 25-30, so I'm probably going to try HMP or UV next time. If AOP Red Armor isn't considered an Assembly, then Jason Kaitsu has become a legend(he also currently has the highest score on my computer, beating Arron Syaoran's Ao100 Run). I ran into the BFG9000 at floor ~98, but it was too late to get the master assembly since getting 2 Firestorm mods would be impossible by the end. I also ran into the Chainsaw at least 4 times, and refused to pick up a single one.

I got a question. Does Dragonslayer involve the Chainsaw or does the chainsaw have nothing to do with getting Dragonslayer? I'm not asking for a spoiler, I'm asking for a hint.

usually what I try to do when that happens is play until I die. Sometimes this means trying my best, other times it means getting myself killed on purpose(like that one time I tried centurial blade bandit challenge and ended up punching 2 guys to death with a pistol still equipped. Pistol whipping enemies is automatic disqualification for that challenge since it counts as a pistol kill.)

39
Problem is, I can't even get to Hells armoury/Deimos Lab cause i keep dying on floors 3-7. Doing UV without intuition is a huge nerf. I really hate maze levels now. I never used to hate maze levels on HMP.

40
Sorry for being impatient, I'll give the Challenge at least another 2 months or more before I complain for Centurial Blade Bandit.

I've just started doing my AoSh MAD builds, died 3 times so far, furthest gotten was chained court. I had 88 Shells left when a chaingunner popped out of no where. I could've sworn the ne corner of the eastern area was clear, but he snuck in from the west area that i haven't cleared yet. I kinda hate how mobs don't always grunt when you're nearby, and how mobs don't always get hit when you shoot in their direction(known as misses, especially notorious on Pistol UV builds with 1 or less eagle eye). To be honest, I've tried UV at least 4 times before I started the UV Int Masterless Chaingunner AoMC run, and died every time(mostly on floors 1-2), furthest gotten then was floor 5.

Also, if anyone hasn't noticed yet, I've become victorious at my first UV Win: http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,7196.msg63422/topicseen.html#msg63422
Right now I'm doing AoSH UV MAD build, but I'm also considering a standard game for UAC Gold, as well as the blade bandit challenge I proposed on HMP/HNTR.

41
My AoSh run won't have AoMC or Int. I wonder how much harder it will be. Of course, like always, I'm not going to do very many special levels because alot of them are near-suicide in exchange for a powerful weapon with few healing/YAAMing options. Which shotgun should I aim for? Regular, Combat/Tactical, Plasma or Double/Super Shotgun?

42
Johnast Kempvough just got 2nd place in my Computer's High Score Table(1st place was my Ao100 Run) as an Ultra-Violent Asskicking Marine. This is my very first UV Win, using the same strategy that Luckydee had(AoMC+Masterless+Chaingunner+Scout), complete with a Veteran Gold and Destroyer Silver Badge. Too bad I took too much damage for Destroyer Gold/Platinum. For my next run I'm going to do AoShotgunnery, hopefully getting Gatekeeper Diamond or Full Win along the way, this time as a marine. It will be good practice for Radar Shooting, but I'm going to have to turn the music volume down even more(since it's still too loud).

And it wouldn't be a Win without a mortem, now wood it?:

Note: I don't know what causes the Spider Mastermind to Flinch, but whatever it is, it seems slightly overpowered. Perhaps it's the defence for chaingunners?

I was actually considering UV AoSh MAD as one of my next games.

Ulric Violet was named so, because he held his right to remain VIOLET, and to be vaguely named after the words "Ultra Violence".

As for the Arachnotron situation, I guess I should keep a phase device(possibly 2 if they spawn) in my inventory all the time from now on, seeing how i've died at least 3 times(on HMP and UV) to spawning into a room filled with enemies with no cover nearby. I had too many Large Medical Packs anyway.(about 9 before I died). From now on I'll limit it to 7. Usually if I would need more medpacks would be if either I'm doing melee, or I get into a situation with an unavoidable death.

As for my Blade Bandit Challenge, I got to Floor 13 on HNTR with YAAM until the floor I died. I went down to 4% with no healing left anywhere and 4 enemies left to kill. One more level and I would've had Malicious Blades Master Trait. Avoiding damage must be harder in melee since you can't radar shoot at all(thrown knives almost always miss). HMP Runs kill me between Floor 2 and 5 on average(Hell Knights and Pink Minotaurs are super deadly). I'm considering nerfing the challenge so that ranged might be usable until a certain point, or possibly allow(force) AoB + Ao100(Vampyre/Chainsaw still not allowed) since I haven't seen any mortems regarding the Centurial Blade Bandit Challenge(CBBandit)

I still get hit every once in a while, just not as often. I'm just worried about going from ~60% to zero in one hit. Besides, I didn't know not to take TaN.

Also, how the hell does anyone make it through UV without Intuition? Without Intuition I get hit way more often. Should I go Cateye? That would be the only guarantee to not get hit at all for me.
