0.9.9.1 / Re: [E|100%|YAAM]First Full Win!
« on: September 16, 2010, 21:37 »
looking at some of the mortems that picked up the Dragonslayer, a lot of what I had assumed would be the requirements were proven to be false.  Still haven't managed to test my simple theory.

Of course, I'm assuming that people aren't making fake mortems solely to annoy me :)

Requests For Features / Re: Suggestion: Slam-Firing
« on: September 14, 2010, 23:21 »
it seems to me that one will always be more useful than the other - and the combat and double are both more useful than the shotgun, if not strictly so.  I don't think that's a problem - and once you have shottyman, the normal shotgun can be used over the combat in some situations.

The combat shotgun making shottyman (and reloader) less desirable is a bit of a problem.  Perhaps get rid of the step-pump and just use the reduced reloading time when pumping as its advantage (possibly further reducing the pump time)?
edit: of course adding the slam-fire would be a fine compensation for removing the step-pump!

May I ask what you needed Juggler for?   And I wouldn't mind knowing about the Medallion.

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoPu|100%|YAAM] seeing in the dark
« on: September 07, 2010, 01:01 »
This one had a nice early game with a combat shotgun before the Arena.  The Chained Court was a bit of a nuisance without the Berserk Packs, and I considered skipping it as I had found an Agility mod for the boots, and with Eagle Eye they don't seem so necessary on the chaingun.  But the experience, plus saving the mod for a plasma rifle made me go for it.  I didn't find the rifle until Phobos Hell 2 or 3 though.  Hellgate was dealt with with rocket launcher, though one cacodemon got the jump on me somehow - Intuition 2 helped prevent any more of that.  It didn't stop a bruiser brother from being rocketed towards me!  Left there with only one medpack.

Phobos Hell was pretty cooperative, with no revenants or arch-viles and only one mancubus.  Tons of Arachnotrons and Barons.  The Arachnotrons weren't so bad once I got the plasma rifle, and the Barons I did a lot of off-screen / corridor shooting with the chaingun.  A trick I just found (I assume it's well-known) was trapping the barons behind lava since they won't cross it, then shooting from beyond their range.

The Mortuary I entered planning to just warp, grab BFG, and leave - but decided that I wanted to clear it.  That was almost my undoing! While the nuclear BFG was helpful, I had trouble advancing with the plasma rifle between BFG volleys, which I needed to do in order to collect cells.  hit 20% health more often than I'd like in there, but the end result was more or less par on medpacks, gained the nuclear BFG, less cells, and much more armor.

On floor 23 I saw all the enemies (20 or so) were in one room.  I got nearby and fired the nuclear BFG when the door opened, which cleared a lot of them - but then I was suddenly at 30% health (from 90%).  a bunch of Barons had survived, and took the rest of my medpacks to survive that (after their blasts, taking cover was not an option).  I should have switched to the normal BFG afterwards, instead of testing out the Railgun.  fun weapon though, the next level was arachnotron cave and it was handy there.

Cyberdemon wasn't too bad, though I was worried as I had only 2 medpacks and no Hellrunner/Dodgemaster.  starting with the nuclear BFG was a horrible error, as that prevented my backup nuke plan.  Running, cover, and the normal BFG were enough.  The Railgun was not very good in that fight, he could shoot me from range better than I could shoot him.

« on: September 06, 2010, 21:59 »
I think the best way to stop giftdropping would be to have enemies no longer pick up / care about items at all.  it always feels like such a kick when an enemy uses your medpack/homing phase or you pick up armor at 14% from all the filth that has worn it first.  That would maintain some balance as well, removing a trick and a hindrance.

Badass is my favourite trait, so I often go for it first.  I think my win in AoPc did HR/DM first though, since I was finding I wasn't spending as much time over 100% health as I would in a normal game.

I was going to post my victory (5 Angels to go I think), but realized there wasn't much interesting about it.  Well, the message from trying to use a 2nd nuke on the same level is good - had a spare for the end.  But in this one, things had been going well, I entered the level invulnerable, so was just moving quickly without thinking.  That didn't quite work out the way I'd like...

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoI|100%|YAAM] Vampyre melee/shotgun hybrid
« on: August 28, 2010, 12:10 »
I'd been having a lot of trouble with this Angel, even once I get past my usual bottleneck of Hell's Arena, going for MAD.  I decided to try going for Vampyre instead, since it would be much needed healing.  That proved to be quite useful.  Interestingly, it seems like one could get both Vampyre and MAD - I considered doing that but wasn't sure if I'd reach level 11, and Ironman x3 was a sure thing.

I annihilated Hellgate with rockets, and ran into the Unholy Cathedral.  The increased knowledge about berserk bug helped - when I went berserk off a killing stroke on a demon, I closed the door and waited it out; when I berserked of a non-killing stroke I cleared the rest (triggering berserker at least once more) and ran to the Angel.  finding the Jackhammer a bit after that was quite nice, I didn't think I liked it at first (vs the assault shotgun) but then I saw the knockback.  That made me go for the mortuary (primarily wanted the power mod for onyx armor).  while it was useful, reloading is still quite slow (if only I'd gone for shottyman instead of Ironman) so I had to BFG more than I'd like, destroying the ammo drops.  stilll, I had lots of shells anyway and a lot of enemies were dealt with via the Lance.

I also found the Dragonslayer, but couldn't wield it.  There was only one enemy left after I saw it, and he didn't cooperate to let me test my theory.

 Before him 160 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 145 of those were killed.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 8 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 6 souls claim to have killed him...
 6 killed the bastard and survived.

I know you get experience from a nuke if you're invulnerable when it goes off, just not sure if you plant it and leave the level.

nice.  AoSg took me a long time too.  would nuking that V/M group and running away give you the kills?  I know it doesn't count for clearing levels.

rational for berserk, and somewhat for invulnerability, but certainly not for the environment suit.  (MUST .. SEEK ... WATER / LAVA / ACID!)

I do think that for exotics/uniques needing to see it yourself makes sense.  So my proposed solution is that tiles that aren't empty should be displayed in their normal colour - monster/barrel/item/etc.

nothing significant, just personal preference & cygwin stuff:
-changed the second difficulty to M instead of N, matching the in-game and differentiating more from N!
-AoP -> AoPu for my own clarity
-expanded Pt/St/Fw to PartialWin/StdWin/FullWin
-for some reason the $endlevel wasn't working for me, possibly something different under cygwin - it is a long messy line with lots of quotes etc., changed it to use head and tail (hardcoded to get the 6th line) and that worked.  testing on the command line, each part of the command worked but the whole pipe did not.
-the fix for notepad under windows wasn't needed for me (and would cause an "unfix"), again I think because cygwin handles the \r\n automagically.

I'll attach it anyway.
