0.9.9.6 / [M|AoP|99%|16|YASD] Seething anger
« on: June 18, 2012, 14:46 »
A few days after the Aosh run, I went for another AoP run. I had a very great run, I had a missile launcher, a Grammaton Cleric Beretta, an assault shotgun, I was in a solid position to beat AoP for the first time.

Then I got to Spider's Lair. The problem is that I used up pretty much al of my rockets, which was pretty much my main damage-dealing method on the Cyberdemon. Well, it would have been had I not used everything up, leaving only the assault shotgun and the beretta against the heavily armoured juggernaut that was the Cyberdemon.

I actually got hin down to Severely wounded before he shot me and brutally murdered me. *sigh*. And I had such good items. An assault shotgun and a Grammaton Cleric Beretta...oh well.

Well, at least I have a solid idea of what to go for: Cateye build with missile launcher main and shotgun/tactical shotgun offhand with a chaingun/plasma rifle for backup.

I definitely approve of this! It just feels wrong when you nuke special levels and you don't get even a message for it.

Something a little different from vi-keys.
Congratulations on beating AoMC UV. I myself beat it quite recently, but not for an Untouchable Badge. Instead I got Conqueror badge. But still, props to you!
P.S. How do you get Grammaton Cleric Cross anyway? 2 runs ago I actually used it quite actively, but only for levels 12-16 before I got splattered by the Cyberdemon. How much do you need to use it, or what do you need to do to get that medal? Or is it a secret like how to equip Dragonslayer/Berserker armor?

O_o Why?
It's 2Dev. AoMr without SoG is pretty standard for him. AoMr N! YAAM Without SoG or SoB is pretty much standard.

Hell knights? Try Barons of Hell, just as frustrating when armored except they deal even more damage.

Ok, this one's pretty bad, even for a thread like this. It's been quite a while, but I still feel like a massive moron for doing this.

Angel of 100, and I had gotten my grimy mitts on a BFG10k. I didn't use it all that much because of the non-intelligent splash damage and the unpredictable spread. At one point I nearly blew myself up by stupidly firing it into a narrow hallway. You can probably see where this is going.

Level 100. About half of it was clear, and I knew there was a pack of enemies out of LOS on the other side of a river. Because I'm lazy, when I'm trying to "shell" an area outside of LOS with AOE weapons, I move the aiming cursor just one tile in the direction I want to fire. I thought the BFG10k would be perfect for shelling this are I couldn't see.

Yes. I blew myself up on the final level of Ao100 with the goddamn BFG10k.
Ouch! Bet you probably don't want to see a BFG10k ever again. Sadly, I still need to find so I can get one step closer to Armorer Gold. I don't plan on using it myself.

0.9.9.6 / [M|AoSh|98%|YAFV] Bad start, great finish
« on: June 14, 2012, 09:42 »
Because appearantly dying to JC and not nuking him does NOT warrant me getting Shottyman Silver, I decided to rectify that mistake.

A major mistake happened early on: I forgot to enter Hell's Arena. That caused a major problem a bit later.

Burned through chained co8urt and a few other levels, getting a few phase devices when I decided I should go for Brick Silver (Beat The Wall on AoB, AoMr or AoSh, for those who forgot). Because I did'nt have double shotty, I was quickly overwhelmed and had to flee. That's where my 10 unkilled enemies come from.

Anomaly, while took a bit of damage, otherwise went without much trouble.

Assembled elephant gun on level 10, then tactical boots on level 12.

Jackhammer on level 12. I don't care what you say, it's beyond overpowered as a shotgun. However, a problem is that over usage of it will cause you to run low on ammo.

Against Cyberdemon I took a relatively low amount of damage. Don't get me wrong, I still took some, but the Jackhammer just riped him apart.

Yes, I took on Mortuary, and that's when ammo shortages REALLY became appearant. Had to actively use Elephant Gun, which helped. However, a few former sergeants did appear and die, dropping valuable ammo which allowed me to beat the legions of Arch-Vile-resurrected arachnotrons and barons of hell.

Shell box on level 23 pretty much saved me.

Level 21 (or 22) found both a nano AND a sniper pack. Left the sniper pack, used nano pack on red armor, then on level 23 made powered red.

Nuked SM, took on JC who fell VERY quickly against the Jackhammer. He did spawn a few wavs of enemies: Lost Souls, Cacodemons, Hell Knights, Revenants. None lasted more than 2 turns against the Jackhammer, and I beat JC without taking any damage because he almost did'nt even attack, just spawned enemies.

Now that I finally have that, gonna try and get Inquisitor Gold...again...
or maybe some of the angel-specific silvers (CoS on AoRA? Really?)

Discussion / The "Stupid Things that happened to me" thread.
« on: June 13, 2012, 04:53 »
When we play DoomRL, we can generally avoid doing some obvious things and do others. Avoid acid/lava, shoot enemies, use med packs when you need to and so forth.
For the most part.

Sometimes, though, you do something so unbelievably stupid that you just facepalm at the mere thought of doing that. Note that the thing that you post must be something that you wuld not do normally and it happened due to sheer stupidity, NOT due to the RNG screwing you over. I made this thread so people can talk about those without having to make a Mortem thread.

I was playing AoP on HNTR. The last few levels went very well, had a number of large med packs, some decent armor (Nano-modded red, was hoping for Powered red), when I got to the Cyberdemon. With my Gatling Gun + Eagle Eye (Cateye build, for anyone interested), I was doing well. But I had to start running when I got low. I got blasted by rocket splash damage, but was still in yellow. I got into position, started shooting...and got hit by a rocket that killed me instantly. Should have paid better attemtion to my health. And I was at a good position to win the game as well.

Pics optional, facepalming is not.

A few turns in the level.
Sometimes, if the RNG wants you to lose, YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE! I did think that I could make it (I had tactical boots + Duelist Armor), so I started running (With running mode on)...only to run into a former sergeant. While trying to blast the demons and the lost souls away, the sergeant blasted me in the back.
Oh, and FYI, AoP, so that Invulnera sphere would not have helped at all. Still, not a bad run for my first AoP attempt.

0.9.9.6 / Re: [M|AoSh|YAAM] Finally I can move on!
« on: June 12, 2012, 01:37 »
I generally have alot of trouble breaking through enemy armor in an AoSh run, which is why I always take MAD, just so I don't have to deal with that. I tried a Shottyhead build, but when I couldn't really injure the Agony elemental in CoS, I realized one of the Shotgun's crippling weaknesses: Armor.
Other than that, congratulations!

0.9.9.6 / Re: [U|92%|17|YASD] My first diamond!
« on: June 11, 2012, 11:55 »
Grats on your first diamond!

I am probably gonna get Gatekeeper Diamond on an AoMC run, but it all depends on whether or not the Cyberdemon will want to co-operate and whether or not the phase ddevice will warp me to between the 2 wall destructions.

0.9.9.6 / [U|AoMC|YAAM/YAFV] Redemption
« on: June 10, 2012, 04:20 »
A few days after the epic fail with the lava element as well as a few Nightmare AoMC runs (Furthest I got was level 4...-_-), I started AoMC UV again, hopeful that this time it would be succesful.

I actually had a bit of trouble with the Wall, but ultimately all the barons and Arch-Viles fell.

Phobos Anomaly no damage. I was hoping to get Gatekeeper Diamond by not taking damage by the Cyberdemon. As you can tell from the lack of Gatekeeper Diamond...yeah.

Hell's Armory I got hit exactly ONE time, by the Shambler. Ugh.

For the entire run I did'nt assemble tactical boots because the first steel boots I found were right after CITY OF SKULLS!

Unholy Cathedral and Vaults went easily. Mortuary was fun, but it was'nt too bad, despite the infinity of Mancubi.

Inventory Management was a pain, but I took care of it.

JC started off with spawning Lost Souls. BFG'd them. When he was at Mortally wounded he spawned Revenants. BFG'd it as well, killing JC in the process.

I got my very first Platinum badge with this run, and it, along with Veteran Gold, got me to Major Rank. 70 more Arch-Viles and I'm advancing to Arch-Vile rank.

I should try to beat a few more runs on HNTR (Angel of Pacifism, Angel of Light Travel, Angel of Impatience, which I have no idea how to beat), then a few on HMP.

P.S. Second Conqueror.

First of all, congratulations on getting Conqueror badge.
Now why didn't you go for partial victory?There's nothing bad with it.And secondly - you had AS, you had AA.You could've killed SM in like 6-7 hits with the scythe.

I actually thought of that seeing how I had berserker, but I just forgot to go for it. and I don't know why, I just seem to think that a Partial Victory is a cheap way out. Long story short, it kept me from winning at least twice now. Maybe I should change my thought process.

After my previous run, 2 more passed which I quit on after getting blasted by sergeants on a regular basis. Finally, I did NOT get blasted by sergeants at the entryway, and the run took off.

Few problems in Phobos and it's special levels. Anomaly went about th esame, as in I got knocked around, but it kept knocking me away from Demons.

Deimos got interesting. Hell's Armory I assembled ballistic red for UC, then right after Halls of Carnage found a Grammaton Cleric Beretta. City of skulls and Spider's Lair went quickly and fairly painlessly.

Because I went out of my way and got berserker, UC was easy to do, and so was Mortuary actually. Vaults went quickly, in which I also found the Anti-Freak Jackal. If this was an AoMr run, that would have been killer, dual wielding unique pistols.

Mortuary...it was quite interesting. Interesting because 1 of the arch-viles spawned right next to me, while the rest all spawned to the left of me. I ran to the right, saw no enemies, ran left and the fun began. Some much shooting later, it was over, I claimed my rewards.

Lava pits went quickly, but right before and after that I encountered 2 armed nukes. You know, because.

Then, inside Dis, I made pretty much the biggest mistake I could have made. Instead of equipping the Nuclear Plasma Rifle, overcharging it and ten using the Lava Element to survive the explosion, I...use the lava element first. Knowing that it would run out before the nuke exploded, I went for the SM. Long story short, the energy-shielded vest got ripped apart in 3 turns with my health not far behind.

Honestly, I find JC MUCH easier than SM, if only because dodging a rocket launcher is easier than a super chaingun.

I'm gonna take a few days rest to try and calm myself down after such a humiliating loss before I try again. Oh well, got Explorer and Conqueror badges in the mean time, consolation prizes really. It's also the first time I got them, so yay.

I think the easiest way to get conqueror is by simply going melee. Shotgun your way through the arena and from the chained court it's all just chainsaw mayhem. Not sure about AoMC, though. Never tried a melee build there.

On AoMC a melee build is just begging for trouble, seeing how enemies will almost always hit you, and on UV, where arch-viles appear as early as Deimos level 1 and others earlier, you will be dead before you even get to your enemy. On a different angel of or even on a standard run, yes, I can see the merits of a melee build, but on AoMC, I'm sorry, there's no way.
