« on: February 19, 2011, 13:35 »
Yeah I just did an AoSh game, and I pretty much just grabbed all of the packs and the chainsaw, then ran out and shotgunned everything. Not really a problem if you're berserk. However I took a break to watch some cartoons later and died because I was distracted :( I don't know what the arena master's staff does, I was afraid to try it :)

AliensRL / Re: This Game is TOO HARD
« on: February 09, 2008, 15:46 »
I kinda like just ignoring the civilian tower since it doesn't seem to serve any gameplay purpose, (at least, none that I know of) then again, I've only ever made it up to the 4th level of the towers...

Announcements / Re: Official DoomRL IRC channel opened!

It'd be a good idea to link to the IRC applet or have the info to connect to the server using a regular client on the front page of DoomRL.

Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [E|100%|YAVP] Who needs med packs?
« on: July 31, 2007, 01:00 »
Thank you Blade, it was a very large accomplishment for me even though it only took me about 5 days of playing the game (serious playing, look at my deaths) to get the hang of the game enough to actually beat it one time. Now to advance my rank!

Missing features such as what? I'd love love love to see some new classes. There just aren't enough yet.

Pre-0.9.9 / [E|100%|YAVP] Who needs med packs?
« on: July 28, 2007, 14:21 »
This is my first ever victory in DoomRL; I played the game a while back before it had difficulty levels and it seemed a bit easier however I didn't beat it back then. I had a lot of trouble overcoming certain obstacles in beating the game, such as learning how to beat The Wall, dealing with ammo shortages at endgame, and managing limited inventory at about the Chained Court level. You'll notice in my mortem that I didn't enter the city of skulls, nor the mortuary, nor the halls of carnage. It's mostly because I didn't find the staircase to the Halls on my way through the game. I really need to pay more attention to those level feelings I guess. In the end, though, it didn't really matter as I plowed through the entire game without much of a problem at any point, except for the battle against the cyberdemon. I attempted to do the thermo victory, but it simply wouldn't let me use the thing. Oh well, if plan A fails, there's always plan B, right? :)

Anyway, here's the mortem.

Bug Reports / Re: Typos
« on: July 28, 2007, 12:21 »
As a native English speaker some of the sentences in the game read very strangely to me.

Here's how the Arena text appears:

Code: [Select]
Game loaded. Welcome to the Doom Roguelike... A devilish voice out of
nowhere announces: "Welcome to Hell's Arena mortal!" "You are either
very foolish, or very brave. Either way I like it!" "And so do the crowds!"
Suddenly you hear screams everywhere! : "Blood! Blood! BLOOD!" The
voice booms again "Kill all enemies and I shall reward thee!"

Here's how I think it should appear:

Code: [Select]
Game loaded. Welcome to the Doom Roguelike! A devilish voice
announces, "Welcome to Hell's Arena, mortal!" -more-
"You are either very foolish, or very brave. Either way I like it!" -more-
"And so do the crowds!" Suddenly you hear screams everywhere! -more-
"Blood! Blood! BLOOD!" The voice booms again "Kill all enemies and I shall reward thee!"

Pointing out the fact that the voice comes out of nowhere strikes me as rather redundant, as using the word 'voice' without attaching any sort of specific pronoun or name inherently gives it the quality of being disembodied. Adding to that, separating multiple speaking parts using " " doesn't really work that well unless you insert a line break, see novels etc. for reference.

In all instances where the voice is speaking, it seems that this syntax is used: 'The voice booms : "!"' where it should be 'The voice booms, "!"'. 'You hear screams everywhere! : "Blood!"' changes to 'You hear screams everywhere! "Blood!'. There are a ton of such typos in the Arena.

Past that, some of the trait descriptions bother me. Here's Finesse, for example.

Code: [Select]
Have you heard of an itchy trigger
 finger? Yours are itchier than the
 chicken pox, and because of that you
 can squeeze out a round of fire 10%
 faster with every trait level you
 advance.

Where to me, it should read like this:

Code: [Select]
Have you heard of an itchy trigger
 finger? Yours are itchier than the
 chicken pox, and because of that you
 can fire rounds 10% faster with every
 level of this trait.

Fixed redundancy issues and cleaned up the sentence structure a bit.

Son of a Bitch is also a bit misleading:

Code: [Select]
because you do 1 more damage every level than your average marine.
Should be something like this:

Code: [Select]
because with every level of this trait, you do 1 more damage than your average Marine.
Son of a gun reads "at top condition", should be "in top condition".

Might I also suggest that the names of the armors be changed to "Light Armor", "Combat Armor", "Megaarmor"? That's pretty much what they're called in DooM.

Well, that's it for now. I'll come back sometime later with more probably.

Drop all your ammo then pick it back up again. It increases the max stack size of ammo by 40%, but it doesn't automatically reorganize it, so your old stacks will still exist unless you force them to merge.
