Post Mortem / [1.2d|N!|Te|YASD] Explored a little too far
« on: March 11, 2022, 22:53 »
So I wanted to get the CRI and Jovisec Diamond badges for winning on Nightmare difficulty masterless as an explorer, and I decided to try playing as a technician, since I have the fewest victories with that class. Ultimately, I failed, I'd say mostly due to trying to complete the Dante Inferno special level, even though (as I found out from Kornel after the fact) it wasn't actually necessary to do so. (Oops!)
The run was carried by finding "Vengeance," a unique hunter rifle with a significant damage boost, plus incremental critical chance boosts from consecutive shots without reloading, which was later helped by armour with "loading feed," so I didn't have to manually reload it, so it permanently kept the critical bonus maxed out, consistently doing quadruple+ damage with each shot. (I was slightly disappointed to discover that there's a cap on how high the critical bonus can go; I half expected it to keep climbing into the thousands of percent, until I could one-shot anything; oh well...) :P
I recorded the whole run, which you can watch at the following links.
Part 1 - Callisto
Part 2 - Europa
Part 3 - Io
Part 4 - Dante
The recordings mostly speak for themselves, so I can't think what else to comment on. The only other really notable decision I made along the way was getting rid of the Ravager's Heart relic at the end of Io. I have no idea whether or not that was the right decision, but considering that I ran out of health items at the end, maybe it was a mistake? Who knows?

Post Mortem / [U|YAAM/YAFW] Focused Shottyhead
« on: January 22, 2022, 18:18 »
I recently got inspired to see if I could make use of a focused double shotgun with a Shottyhead build. It's something I got the idea for forever ago, but somehow, never actually put it into practice. I played on ultraviolence, because I wasn't in the mood for anything too strenuous.
Fortunately, for this run, I got all the mods I needed fairly early on, but unfortunately, the first double shotgun spawned in Deimos Lab. (Normally, I'd find probably three of them by that time; oh well...) I basically didn't use the combat shotgun after that; I'm not even sure why I carried it with me to the end, quite frankly. :P
I nearly died to the pair of shamblers, (brought me down to one med pack) since they don't seem to be very susceptible to shotguns, and the lack of eagle eye meant my other weapons were less effective, but after that, it was pretty smooth sailing, as long as I could keep my shotgun shell supply up, which I managed by occasionally luring arch-viles over to sergeant groups, so I could farm them for shells.
The Shottyhead build is ridiculously ammo-hungry, due to...
a) the simple fact that you just fire so damn fast...
b) it blocks SoB trait, so you can't increase your damage much, and...
c) the fact that firing so fast means you push all enemies to the edge of your weapon's range in the space of a second, so you're doing even less damage.
The focused double shotgun helps mitigate this, though in practice I don't think it made a huge difference. I still had to rely on my other weapons, which I juggled between, including Azrael's Scythe in the late game, for which I took a detour to berserker. I used up all my shells in the Mortuary, and I never really built the supply up after that, but I made sure to save some for the end, so I could use them to deliver the coup de grace to JC. :)

So a while ago, (eight and a half years ago? Whoa!) :o I managed to get a win that showed 0% kills, by killing nothing but the Cyberdemon and the Mastermind. It was a fun little challenge to see how few kills I could get, but I always thought it could be interesting to try it in Angel of 100, so I could truly get 0% kills. :)
Well... I didn't quite do it this time, but I got it as low as 3% kills, so that's pretty good, I think. :) Bonus: I made sure to unwield my starting weapon at the beginning, and never wielded a weapon, so I got Sunrise Iron Fist as well. :D
All 60 of those enemies that got killed died in crossfire, since I never fired a single shot... unless you count the time an arachnotron stepped into a doorway unexpectedly, and I accidentally walked into it and punched it. (Don't worry; it didn't die, and I apologized afterward) :P

Post Mortem / [U|AoB+AoLT|90%|YAFW] A bit of light malice
« on: December 26, 2021, 16:52 »
For no particular reason, I decided to play DoomRL the other day, to see if I could do a melee only game with a Malicious Blades build. I also combined it with AoLT for the speed boost, reasoning that a melee build won't need much inventory space for weapons/ammo.
Once I got MB, it was smooth sailing for the rest of the game, but getting there was quite a chore. While MB is considered a melee trait, it really is best suited to a hybrid build, due to the lack of berserker trait. Still, somehow, I made it work by focusing on the enemies I could kill relatively easily without taking too much damage, and stretching berserk packs and invulnerability spheres as much as I could, and simply avoiding a lot of enemies, and avoiding Hell's Arena altogether.
I turned the red armour from Phobos Anomaly into nanofibre armour, which I used up until Deimos Lab, where I got an onyx pack as a reward, which I ended up putting on a suit of blue armour for the plasma protection. Those two levels of Whizkid I got ended up being solely for modding the armour; I would have liked to dual-wield two power-modded chainswords, but it didn't end up being convenient to do so, and the Longinus Spear turned out to be a good enough choice anyway.
I was considering skipping Spider's Lair, since MB's protections don't include plasma damage, but a lucky nuke and invulnerability made me change my mind. :) I still had to break down two walls between the invulnerability and the SL entrance, which I did by throwing a couple of combat knives that were lying around at napalm barrels.
Limbo felt like a big mistake that nearly got me killed, since enemies were reviving faster than I could deal with, and I just made a run for the exit, though I was able to pick up the nuclear BFG on the way out.
I probably would've skipped Lava Pits if it generated, but I lucked into getting Mount Erebus, and there were two berserk packs next to the stairs for it, so I was able to just run across the lava, only losing about 27% health in the process, enabling me to get a full win. (Though there was an invulnerability next to the final stairs, so I didn't end up using the lava element anyway) :P
Yay! :D

While MB is considered a melee trait, it really is best suited to a hybrid build, due to the lack of berserker trait. Still, somehow, I made it work by focusing on the enemies I could kill relatively easily without taking too much damage, and stretching berserk packs and invulnerability spheres as much as I could, and simply avoiding a lot of enemies, and avoiding Hell's Arena altogether.
I turned the red armour from Phobos Anomaly into nanofibre armour, which I used up until Deimos Lab, where I got an onyx pack as a reward, which I ended up putting on a suit of blue armour for the plasma protection. Those two levels of Whizkid I got ended up being solely for modding the armour; I would have liked to dual-wield two power-modded chainswords, but it didn't end up being convenient to do so, and the Longinus Spear turned out to be a good enough choice anyway.
I was considering skipping Spider's Lair, since MB's protections don't include plasma damage, but a lucky nuke and invulnerability made me change my mind. :) I still had to break down two walls between the invulnerability and the SL entrance, which I did by throwing a couple of combat knives that were lying around at napalm barrels.
Limbo felt like a big mistake that nearly got me killed, since enemies were reviving faster than I could deal with, and I just made a run for the exit, though I was able to pick up the nuclear BFG on the way out.
I probably would've skipped Lava Pits if it generated, but I lucked into getting Mount Erebus, and there were two berserk packs next to the stairs for it, so I was able to just run across the lava, only losing about 27% health in the process, enabling me to get a full win. (Though there was an invulnerability next to the final stairs, so I didn't end up using the lava element anyway) :P
Yay! :D

Who the heck said it's easier? They got rid of the ability to prevent respawning by gibbing enemies, plus the exalted versions of the late game enemies are (to coin a phrase) a nightmare! Whoever said that Nightmare difficulty is easier has probably never had to face down an exalted archwarlock.

I have a feeling that you're joking, but I'm gonna say anyway that I'm pretty sure everyone thinks that N! victories are still notable achievements... especially with the addition of Dante, which ramps up the difficulty considerably from earlier versions.

Haha, yeah. :) It's just because someone was saying that this build wasn't viable in Dante, and I wanted to play a quick game to show them it could be done, but in all honesty, I fail most of the time at Nightmare difficulty, so I did UV this time to give me a guaranteed better chance of doing it quickly. It was actually a bit refreshing to not have to be constantly on my toes to deal with reviving enemies for once. :)

« on: December 04, 2021, 16:46 »How does the lack of badges feel? Like a hole in the heart, right?
Eh, I'm not too troubled by it. It would be nice to have a badge associated with it, but I figure any victory at A! is achievement enough in itself. :) Anyway, as Sylph indicated, I expect they'll be coming in a later version, so it's fine.
The Necroarmor seems extremely good in all cases. I used to be afraid of the lifedrain, but its so little there's no point even thinking about it.
Yeah, same. Back in my DoomRL days, the Necroarmor was my favourite armour. (until they redesigned resistances, and Malek's armour edged it out) The way I see it, compared to other armours of similar strength, it's just a matter of whether you take the damage from the initial enemy's shot, or from repairing the armour afterward; it comes out the same, damage-wise, only this way, you get free armour repair. :)
Medusae are just such dickish enemies. They slither so its very hard to alpha them. They do consistent AoE so there's little dodging them. They drain your HP if you close to melee. I... don't think I like them. They're too good. Sure, you can deal with them, but aside from Wizard Toxicologist its always through some form of attrition. And then you get Archmedusae where they go nigh-invulnerable while they charge up, and then HOLD that invulnerability until they punch you. Dicks. I think I'd like it if they were a bit more rare, as each sighting is a Major Big Deal. Also I think there's design space for some sort of Minidusa that has the slither, but not the AoE or the Bite. Hitting the player with all those mechanics at once is kind of a lot.
Yup, that pretty much sums up my thoughts about medusae.
I'm honestly shocked you pushed off Hellrunner 2 for so long, nevermind Hellrunner 3. I suppose Light Travel helps, but still. Movement speed is something you can never have enough of. Have you ever spec'd into Running? I consider it an extremely strong path.
I haven't actually played around with running so far. I've mostly been trying to get wins with scout or technician lately, since a clear majority of my wins so far have been with the marine.
I see you didn't puss out like I did and actually got Soulstealer. Getting that sword on A! is a first, as far as I know. Also from the body count it seems you didn't puss out again and at least put in an effort in Dante. I just stair-dive in terror. The last level of Dante is WAY harder than the endboss.
Shattered Abyss was fairly easy with this build. Reavers were pushovers and I dealt with the archreavers by luring them out one at a time. As for the Swordmaster, it was a matter of putting lots of trust in the Survivor hp gate, and running around to heal. :P Once I'd dispatched him, I hung around the level for a while to beef up the Soulstealer and also boost my max hp. I'd gotten up to 158 max hp when I was forced to flee the level by an exalted reaver with fire and deadly.
Re: hellrunner - Tormuse is currently trying a scout build without hellrunner at all on A!
If you're referring to that game I posted on Discord, I should probably point out that it was an AoC challenge game, which is a very different kind of game, where speed doesn't necessarily provide the same benefit it might in a standard game. (Also, I got dash, so I wasn't totally without speed boosts) :)
I don't know how Tormuse does it! The guy is a machine! Always has been on chaosforge games!
Oh, you flatter me. :P (Thanks!) :D

Thanks! :D And it's totally understandable to struggle with medusae. They're a menace. They basically exist to counter any possible strategy you want to approach them with. :P

Note: This mortem is from over a week ago, but I'm posting it now, because the forum was having some technical issues. Anyway, here's what I tried to post before. :)
This run had a bit of a weird start, because I somehow accidentally joined the zombies. :P Due to a strange bug that the dev team has hopefully figured out now, the game apparently considered me one of the former humans for all of Callisto, and so none of them attacked me. (Fiends/bots/etc continued attacking as normal, though) Needless to say, this made the early levels a lot easier than normal.
I recorded the game, so you can see for yourself:
Part 1 - Callisto
Part 2 - Europa
Part 3 - Io
Part 4 - Dante
Anyway, I played this game in response to some discussion about the relative benefits/drawbacks of the newly amended Swashbuckler and Assassinate traits. I already made plenty of commentary about them both in the videos, and the Chaosforge Discord server, so I won't repeat myself here, but suffice it to say, I think they're perfectly viable traits. :)

Post Mortem / [1.1a|A!|Ma|AoLT|YAVP] My first Apocalypse victory! :D
« on: November 26, 2021, 22:26 »
So I've been trying out the new Apocalypse difficulty, cycling through different challenge modes and different builds, trying to figure out what works best, and finally had some luck with Angel of Light Travel and a Survivor build. :)
The early game was pretty harrowing, but started to come together when I got Angry MoFo 3. AoLT doesn't let you carry around much in the way of healing opportunities, but the combination of Survivor and AMF helped mitigate that, and I think the AoLT speed boost was a big help in just getting around the levels quickly, before too many enemies revived.
Mid to late game was carried by a strategy suggested to my by Sylph of using a sniper rifle, along with an auto-repairing helmet with aim assist, and cover master 2, which allowed me to get +100% crit chance on every shot against any enemy where I waited at least once beforehand. That, combined with AMF3 allowed me to do devastating damage to everything, with just a few bullets, including archmedusae and archwarlocks. (Sadly, I lost the helmet when I got surrounded in a hunt level on the second last level; I had to use a handful of grenades to get out of that situation)
The sniper rifle was important for ammo conservation, since AoLT obviously doesn't let you carry much, (I had another A! game come to an unfortunate end due to running out of ammo, so I wanted to be better prepared this time) and for a good chunk of the early game, I had a JAC .44 as a backup in case dangerous things got too close, (which I later replaced with the Firestorm; another good weapon for ammo conservation) :) and a melee weapon, first a combat knife, later a machete, then a katana, then Soulstealer.
The necrotic armour from Infernal Lock was a fortunate find, since up 'til that point, every suit of armour I wore got battered and destroyed, since I took full advantage of the build's benefits of low hp, so it was nice to finally have something that was self-repairing. :) (I worried a bit about the necrotic armour draining my hp at a bad time, taking me below the Survivor health gate and getting me killed, but fortunately, it didn't seem to drain my hp fast enough for that to be an issue)
That "Blind Luck Medal" came from the one instance in the whole game that I really used the Survivor's health gate feature. I got zapped by an archmedusa, because I mistakenly thought it hadn't charged up a shot, and I fired a Firestorm shot at it in a situation where I had no cover, and it would have been wiser to run away. (Oops!) :o
I also made a recording of myself playing the last level. I would have preferred recording the whole thing, and normally I wouldn't bother posting a single level, but Sylph made a comment about how she'd like to see more videos from me, and I thought, "aw, what the heck?" :P Anyway, here it is! :)

Oh, wow! :o Congrats! :D I've tried this challenge many times without success, though in previous versions. Sounds like grenadiers were a source of much needed resources. :) Also, rather curious that it says you killed 562 enemies, but it only shows 13 in the mortem; I guess exalted variants don't display properly. And yeah, fire weapons combined with melee are a sure way to get yourself burned to death, or so I've found. :P
