Hi guys,

I started playing AoB and let the first former human shoot all of his ammo into the tree I covered behind. Then I strarted to pursue him, until he ran into the right, walkable edge of the level. This is what happened:

Code: [Select]

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

The precise order of action was:
- The former human entered the right edge. No problem so far.
- I moved towards him, and then the first instance of the bug happened. The game then continued.
- Again I moved towards him, after which the second instance happened. Again, the game went on afterwards.
- Then I finally moved into his melee range, and he attacked me. No problem this time and the rest of the game went fine.

This game just all about luck.
Level 2 gifted me with a large demon-filled tension room. This meant not only a red armor, but enough experience for Shottyman. This made Arena a breeze.
Malek's Armor on level 5 then was an outright godsend. I never ever took that sweet thing off afterwards. It's stats, resists and regeneration are just way too awesome and I think that this is the best armor in the game (I have to find, let alone put on Berserker armor, though.
I haven't found a combat shotgun, but again - lucky. Two power mods in the Armory gave me an elephant gun and this baby can hit _hard_. It was my weapon of choice for the rest of the game.
Later, I tended to find invulnerabilities just when I needed them. _Two_ for nuking Cybie _and_ a revenant floor right afterwards, another for a level which started with _five_ Arch-Viles in the first third of the map, another picked just before an arach cave when I started surrounded by six of them.
The unholy atmosphere on 23 was quite a fix. I was going for 100% kills (as always ;) ), so I had to endure there for pretty long. In the end, I was left with last large medpack, so I went for broke to Dis.
Luckily, Mastermind never got a shot at me.
I just let her come to the melee range, and fired away. Ended up with Malek's Armor torn to pieces and 20% health, but also with her lying at my feet.

In fact, I'm a bit concerned about all this luck. I don't even have a standard HMP win yet, but two challenges down on UV, and, well, both would not make it through if not for an epic amount of sheer luck. This does not make me feel like having a reliable playstyle at all ...

But I will figure it out ... someday.

And PS: 1324 hellspawn killed is my new personal best so far ;).

Well well. Cateye is definitely _the_ build for AoMC. I was heavily inspired by byrel's build for this one, and it definitely ruled this run. Returning the credit, byrel! :)

The start was pretty much what one would expect. I rarely had any trouble until the Anomaly, and as always, I was more worried about the initial monster than about the bruisers. I used my standard strategy - tactical armor and running back to the left room, I still caught one or two, but not much of a threat.

City of Skulls were more dangerous. I already got rid of shotguns to leave more room for my chaingun and plasma, and the initial wave was quite a pain in the ass. I couldn't kill them quick enough not to take some damage, and in the end I even blew the skulls with an unlucky rocket.

With Dodgemaster and a proper dodge/fire/reload timing, Cybie was an absolute pushover. He spawned some four squares away from me, so at first I had to run away from the walls, but after that, piece of cake.

One lucky and LOL moment came somewhere in early Hell, when I spawned between two commando/sergeant packs and two Barons to boot. Would have been pretty bad - if I hadn't picked that invulnerability before entering. In order to save ammo, I was just dodging between their shots, and man, it was joy to behold them massacring each other :). When the invulnerability expired, only one of the Barons and one arach who wandered by were still standing.

Soon afterwards I found my second power mod for the plasma rifle, which definitely turned the odds on my side. Since that time, everything except the Lava Elemental and Mastermind fell in a single volley ...
... well, until I made the bad mistake of adding another power mod. The knockback it caused in fact caused a lot of shots to miss, and it did cost me quite a lot of precious ammo. (Bottom line: two power mods on a plasma rifle are exactly the right amount on AoMC).

Vaults were a huge disappointment. They were extremely easy with the "one volley = one kill", but they didn't yield a single exotic or unique ... Oh well, at least there was a real truckload of plasma cells.

And Spidey? I don't think she ever saw me, as she didn't fire a single shot.

All in all, a fun and nice run. First ever UV win, quadruple gold (although I had Scavenger Gold before, so it's not in the mortem), Untouchable Badge, Cybie, next four levels in row and Mastermind without being hit once - I guess that again I learned a lot about the game.And I'm going to be very sleepy at work today - I finished this run after three AM :).

One more thing to ask: Any tips on clearing the Anomaly without taking damage? Invulnerability is out, as I tend to do the Wall just before. Otherwise, I only see a lot of luck needed (tactical armor _and_ boots = 4 agility mods, gravity boots are even more improbable, or perhaps a very lucky phase into the left room ...)
Gatekeeper Diamond would be a nice cherry on top of the cake that was this run.

0.9.9.5 / [M|AoMr|YAAM] The story of the last bullet missing
« on: January 13, 2012, 05:49 »
"This ain't lookin' good", he muttered ...
Watching the corpse of a hell baron being incinerated in lava, Adrian Carmack took a deep breath of rest, and thought about the last two hours ...

He always liked pistols, and despised other weapons. Thus, he didn't care for advice of other marines to grab some more powerful weaponry for his mission to Phobos. He knew that he can trust his eyes and triggerhappy fingers. Maybe he should have listened ...

Standing near the stairs, recent memories flashed before his eyes ...
... the voice of the Arena Master ...
... the sigh of relief that, back at the academy, he didn't sleep during the basic assembly course ...
... those rockets he dodged ...
... the enormous heat of lava ...
... and most recently, the grin on his face, when be blasted a lava barrel and killed all six arachs surrounding it.

Adrian knew that he was in no hurry now. Calm at first, he searches his pockets and the ammo belt - and calmness made way for despair.

He heard the rumors. Rumors telling of a new evil, even more terrifying that the rocket-spewing Cyberdemon was. Rumors, which made his heart beat like drum - and which should now become real.

He unloaded one of his high power pistols and holstered it, knowing that one must be enough now. Counting the bullets again, he realised he was right:
Before him lied 27 bullets and a loaded high power pistol.

"This ain't lookin' good", Adrian muttered again. Yet he knew - there's no way back now ...

He heard the mechanical steps even before descending the staircase. Whatever was pounding the ground so hard, must have noted Adrian's presence - the pounding sounded closer and closer. Adrian peeked around the corner and saw ...

"Oh shit. Holy shit!"

Adrian knew from the rumors what he should be prepared for - but it still took him a moment to regain his composure from the monstrosity that just met his gaze. Just in time to hide behind the corner, before the first volley of the Mastermind's projectiles would tear him to pieces.

The steps were clanking closer and closer. Adrian knew he has to the quicker one to kill. With a deep breath and a gun in his hand he stepped forth ...

"CLICK!"

Adrian could barely remember the last few seconds. Aim, dodge, fire, reload, aim, dodge, fire, reload, all of it was a blur - until that "CLICK!" sound.

Before rolling behind the corner again, he took a look at the Mastermind. It was looking really bad - limping, covered in its own blood, electricity sprakling all over its beaten, yet still monstrous body. And something uncovered in the center of the body, something pounding ... Perhaps the heart of the enormous brain?

Adrian somehow felt that one bullet from his high power pistol, if aimed well, would end it all. He quickly searched his pockets again ...
... no last bullet there. And the steps were pounding just around the corner ...

He knew he only had a single chance. When he saw one of those giant legs around the corner, he jumped forward, grabbed the Mastemind gun with one arm and pushed it aside, and before it could react, started punching it, aiming for the "heart". The Mastermind was shaking violently, trying to release its gun from Adrian's grasp and tear him to pieces.

Then, finally, one punch went through.

A gut-wrenching and nerve-wrecking scream filled the air. Adrian was thrown away and landed on a wall. He prepared for the final hit, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the Mastermind shaking in agony. Then, a huge explosion deafened him and everything went dark ...

The first thing Adrian noted, was the smell of grass, and the chittering of birds. He opened his eyes, and closed them again, dazzled by sunlight.
He realized what he has done.
He proved too tough for Hell itself, and was spit out of there.

He felt relatively safe ... now.

Hey, don't blame me for posting an ITYTD mortem. I just wanted to see the new contents ASAP ;).

Well, some impressions:
I was first very scared when I realized that Hellgate was moved so far above, so I certainly do appreciate the change there. The old layout would be really scary on the new depth.
I also found the new powerup. It can be really helpful, that"s all I can say.
Another supriise came in later game - I never met a single revenant, mancubus or Archvile, except from the Arena Master. Is that a feature on ITYTD, or was I just plain lucky?
All in all, a lucky and nice game for me. Finding the Lava Armor at the Lava Pits came as a moment of smile.

And the new boss? I was shivering, minding every single step and listening to those footsteps ...

Nothing more to say but a huge THANK YOU and CHEERS to Kornel and the developers!

Play-By-Forum / Doom(RL) Word soccer
« on: December 19, 2011, 08:31 »
Alright, would anyone be interested in a really simple PbF game?

There are only a few rules:
1) The next word or phrase must begin with the letter, that the last ended with.
2) The word or phrase must be directly related to DoomRL, Doom or Doom 2.
3) More words in a phrase entered are allowed only if they are directly stated in any of the games. So for example "former sergeant" or "Cyberdemon's Head" are fine,as are names of the artifacts/exotics/map names etc. In case of DoomRL, abbreviations are allowed when they are commonly known ("UC or "ITYTD" are fine, for example).
4) 0.995-exclusive names in DoomRL are _not_ OK until the official release. No spoilers ;).

EDIT (I'm very forgetful after a working day):
5) Repetitions are disallowed.

Is anyone interested, how long a chain of words can we achieve? :)

Making progress, I guess ...

This time I decided to try and finally get a HMP win in 0.994. Being most familiar with MAD playstyle, I went that way, and it proved a very interesting game (for me, at least :) ).

Nothing special in Arena and Chained Court - but training in Arena definitely taught me a lot about movement and especially corner-shooting.

Armory was fun. I already reached MAD before entering, and boy, does it make a difference against Shambler! In previous games, it took me ages to take him down without MAD, even when shooting him with an elephant gun right into his face.
In the Armory I also found a schematics, leaving me with only one basic assembly to find. Where's the nano mod, when you need it? Another Gold Medal would look nice in the Awards section :).

Moments later, I finally found the tech mod to assemble a tactical shotgun. I came to love this weapon before, and it became the main weapon of choice for me. For tougher targets, I picked up the BFG and missile launcher. Both proved very useful quite soon ...

Hellgate? Fairly easy. Two BFG charges to weaken the initial wave, tactical shotgun to wipe out the rest, and missile launcher for the Bruiser Bros. They never even fired a shot.

After clearing the City of Skulls and Spider's Lair (and collecting a truckload of energy cells there), I eventually found another BFG and I bulk-modded both of them. The difference between two and three shots without reloading can make a huge difference.

On level 22, I found the staircase to the Mortuary. I was there before (and HPD'd out in about ten turns) - but _two_ invulnerability globes very close to the staircase and my offensive arsenal convinced me to give it a shot. I had an emergency HPD anyway, if things would turn too hairy. So I popped in.
What followed can only be described as massacre. Eight BFG shots in all directions for a head-starter, missile launcher until I was all out of rockets and shotgunning the rest. I was lucky - the invulnerability did last long enough to let me kill all the Viles, and the rest was just mopping up.
And to add to the rewards: Angelic Armor was my 40th exo/unique, granting me Armorer Platinum - my first ever Platinum medal!
Yes, I agree - this Mortuary was not much more than a display of pure luck :).

The next level contained the stairs to Lava Pits. I only had one envirosuit, so I decided not to risk the need to bugger out and lose the 100% kill rate I had so far. As I missed UC before, Explorer and Conqueror were already ruled out anyway.

Level 24 helped me a lot with a tracking map very close to my starting position. This made my tactical planning to kill all the viles, revenants and spiders much, much easier.

Finally, the time came to face Cybie. Supercharged to 100HP and with Angelic Armor on, I was nearly the same juggernaut as he is. To his disadvantage I also had the ammo worth of ten BFG shots at my disposal. But when he was mortally wounded, I opted for a stylish MAD kill and finished him with my tactical shotgun.

Well, all in all, this was by far my best (and to be honest, also the luckiest) run so far. It's a bit ironic that while I have the Platinum Badge required for Major rank, I still miss one Silver for 2nd Lieutenant :).

PS: I noticed that Shottyman's move-reloading does not work when you have no shells in the inventory, but you have a shell box in the Prepared slot. Having to reload the tactical shotgun manually is a major PITA ... Is this a bug or an expected behavior?

0.9.9.4 / [M|AoMr|YAAM] Assemblies + Bullet Dance = way to win! :)
« on: November 29, 2011, 03:48 »
Hi everyone,
after a bit of a break I went to give a shot on AoMr in 0994. The Bullet Dance path seemed like it could do it's job.

I had to say, I was impressed. Later in the game, I was able to pick of Arachs and even one Vile at the edge of sight without allowing them to ever get a shot at me.

For a good part, the reason was a truckload of assemblies I was able to create. Five assemblies (basic, all of them) is something I've never done before in a single game. Most of them were armour.

A lucky find of Sniper Mod was also extremely helpful. With this one, high-power pistol in my other hand and Bullet dance equaled four hits totaling at 2d4+2d6+24, or 28-64 (avg. 46) per one burst.

Well, now it's time to try and get a shot on the new classes as well.

Mortem follows:

Hi,

I found a minor, yet annoying bug when accessing the Traits screen from ingame ("T" command, not tested during level-up).
When a trait that the player doesn't currently have available for picking (in grey text) is selected, then the ESC key doesn't leave the screen back to the game, and stays in the screen.
The player then has to scroll to an available talent (any written in red, seems that whether the player already has the trait, doesn't matter) for ESC to work.

0.9.9.3 / [M|AoB|84%|YAVP] Another angel down!
« on: July 13, 2011, 04:33 »
Pretty much a very basic and standard AoB run.
I got lucky to get the Chained Court already on L4. Since then, fun times started.

Observations:
Tactical armor plus tactical boots are quite an effective combination - movement speed at 0.64s when cautious and without a single HR allowed me to outrun nearly everything. Too bad I found my first steel boots somewhere around L19 ...
Vampyre + A pain elemental = 200% health in no time flat. Thanks to GameHunter for this tip :).

Then, I just ran to Cybie before he even had a chance to fire a single rocket. On the third cut, berserk kicked in and then I just enjoyed the victory and my second Angel down.

Now, what next? A UV win? Another angel? I had a great shot at Ao100, dying on L94 - I may try to get this one done ...

So happy to finally get my first Angel completed! :)

The only notable thing about this game is that I found pretty much no helpful equipment. Bulked red armour as best, no pistol exotics or uniques, a single speedloader. And in the end, I even ran out of ammo once ...
No wonder I ran down the stairs when I saw them in later levels. Until Hellgate, however, I maintained a 100% kill rate.
At times, I was lucky to have found large medpacks when I needed them, and a nuke. Without it, with the ammo left, I'd be down for the count for sure.

0.9.9.3 / [H|97%|YAVP] One Jackhammer to rule them all!
« on: July 01, 2011, 03:05 »
Well, this one was fun to play!
Started a normal, run-of-the-mill HMP game. Tried to build a heavily defensive build (see the traits in mortem).
Went to the Arena, cleared it, and hoped that with some luck I can finally get to the Hellgate on this difficulty.
Then, on L:4 I found the Jackhammer.
This thing works like a magic finger: Point on monster => no monster. Even Mancubi were falling in three blasts from the edge of line of sight. Once, a Hell Knight at close (not point blank) fell in a single burst!
Even more fun came when lava was present on a level. Push them in, hear them scream, hear them die.
Even the Big C could not withstand the sheer power of the weapon.

Some further perhaps interesting things about this game:
I don't think I ever found so many uniques and exotics in a single game. Ten of them, perhaps? Who would recall ...
My second win! :)
