-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 62 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 54 of those were killed.
 2 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 5 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 killed the bastard and survived.
 3 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

After becoming entirely fed up with the wide expanses of .992, I decided to start up the beta. Five tries in, I get ~120 turns of zerk going into the Arena, and the rest was pretty smooth sailing.

Arena sweep turned into CC/AM sweep (though not without burning a large med-pack or two), which turned into some REALLY fast leveling. I hit Vampyre around floor 8, even with rushes to the stairs. Level 13/14 wrecked me, so I used a homing phase to reach Hellgate and phased past the first wave, mopping up the Bruisers. UC appeared immediately next to me (along with a Vile, haha, very funny). AoD goes down after some decent zerks, pick up Mr. Scythe, at which point I never really got close to dying (save Mort). Notice I was only one floor away from Conqueror, too, as Halls of Carnage take WAY too long for a melee run.

I don't know if I should consider this legit (thereby adding to my count) but I certainly had a LOT more fun playing through it. The beginning of the game is far fairer to you with the recent map additions, even if it matters very little by the end.

The only obviously-illegitimate cases in beta 1 relate to the "extended caps" on certain traits.

What a brutal run! Damn brother *salutes you*

The beginning of the game is far fairer to you with the recent map additions, even if it matters very little by the end.

So you're saying that before I start spamming N! runs for Plat/Diamond in 0.9.9.2, I should wait for 0.9.9.3? I wasn't aware the latest beta changed anything about N!. I've already deferred any Ao100 until the next version.

N! hasn't changed, everything has. Without being too specific, there are new features to maps that make "wide expanses" a lot less more likely. As anyone who plays on AoB knows, having a big huge room early on, where there are plenty of Sergeants ready to keep you at bay, is among the greatest threats to the player. The game will be...easier. On lower difficulties it won't be a big deal, on harder difficulties it will, and all because there should be more cover to work with. On the other hand, we're also supposed to be getting advanced AI soon as well, so it'll likely end up balancing out.

I'm following - makes perfect sense.

Still - that was a run for the ages! Congrats.

Considering it is BETA 1, I'm inclined to call it not so legit, since there are some rather major changes to some of the mechanics of map generation that needs to be tested.

But it's your call.  =D

Well done regardless of legitimate-ness (legitimatality?). I was actually pretty surprised to not see you invest in your new trait possibilities. Though with the Scythe you probably didn't need to.

I really do enjoy those new features as well. They not only make the game a bit easier at the very beginning, it feels a lot more like Doom. :)
