0.9.9.4 / Re: [U|AoRA|YAAM] Quartermaster Diamond Badge!

Not necessarily... There's still the Lava Element. All you have to do is run away from the Cyberdemon for five minutes. :)

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoMs|74%|YAVP] Masochist Diamond Badge!
« on: September 30, 2011, 21:17 »I don't want to downplay the achievement, but there are a fair number of Diamond badges that were considered impossible back in the day, and Masochism was included on that list. With the new masters and, perhaps more importantly, the easy-access advanced traits, a lot of these Diamonds are probably possible, if not quite doable...
True, it's possible that some things still need rebalancing for the next version. (Someone said that Shottyhead might be too powerful) Combining Shottyhead with Int 2, i.e. being able to push everyone out of visual range while still being able to see where they are, is quite powerful. Perhaps Shottyhead should block Intuition? (In which case, I should probably try for that Everyman Diamond badge fast before the next version comes out!) :P
If you want to find a fairly complete listing of previous diamonds collected, go check out the Diamond Hunters sticky...
I did. It's in need of updating. ;) (Heehee) :D

0.9.9.4 / [U|AoRA|YAAM] Quartermaster Diamond Badge!
« on: September 30, 2011, 20:38 »
And the diamonds just keep coming! Woot! :D (And this time, I was wise enough to *not* enter the Mortuary) ;)
This one had too many close calls to count! I finished several levels with less than ten seconds left in the nuke. In fact, in Hell's Arena and Hell's Armory, I reached the stairs with one second on the clock! :o
Notes on this run:
I took a big risk in summoning the Shambler in Hell's Armory, but I had acquired Malicious Blades trait and assembled my first Chainsword by then, and fortunately, he didn't teleport around *too* much, so I was able to kill him. (Just in time!) :D
I used the Azrael's Scythe's Whisper of Death attack once in the City of Skulls to clear the area of Lost Souls that were threatening to overwhelm me.
I held on to a suit of agility-modded green armour for the whole game before I was able to turn it into tactical armour on level 19, only to lose it three levels later to a Baron of Hell and Arch-Vile barrage. (Grrr!)
The last two levels before Cybie were the most tense...
Level 23 featured a frustrating group of Arch-Viles that kept raising creatures faster than I could destroy them. It took a lot of time to make even small advances, so when I was close to running out of time, I got desperate and just charged into the crowd and took my chances. I burned through all my med-packs, but I succeeded. I actually used two homing phase devices on that level, one to get me out of a tight spot where I was surrounded, and the other to get me to the exit at the end. (With less than ten seconds on the clock)
Level 24 "blasted me with unholy atmosphere," so I kind of had a double countdown. :) This problem was compounded by the fact that I had no med-packs and the only source of healing I found was a small healing globe. I finished with 41% health left and fully intended to nuke Cybie for a partial win, but...
On level 25, when I tried to arm the nuke I had been carrying, I was greeted by the message, "Are you out of your mind?" (I guess you can't place nukes in Angel of Red Alert) :P I suppose I could have just waited out the timer on the nuke and gotten a partial win that way... (for that matter, I could probably just have let him kill me and the nuke would get him that way) In any case, I decided to take my chances and try to take him out in hand to hand combat. (After an initial BFG blast) :) I took full advantage of my speed and Dodgemaster to dance around him, hitting him with my dual chainswords. I still got grazed by a few explosions that hit surrounding pillars that brought me down to 28%, but I did it! I won! Yay! :D

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoMs|74%|YAVP] Masochist Diamond Badge!
« on: September 30, 2011, 10:56 »your rank ought to shoot up once you finally reach 15 golds, probably Legend or Blade :)
We'll see. :) More likely, by then, another version of the game will be out and I'll have to start all over again. ;)
I would if I thought it would be anything interesting to watch in a video. Most of the time is spent rushing the first few levels over and over again, which is not only tedious for the viewer, but really frustrating for me (so the commentary isn't as good). Nightmare! speedrunning, on the other hand, is nothing BUT that, and although the viewer's mileage may vary, I think it's worth dedicating some videos to JUST that sort of thing.
I tried making videos the other day using Roguelike Studio because I wanted to participate in the AoH speedrun contest, but I guess my computer sucks too much because the action lagged to the point that it was unplayable. :P Is there a way around that, short of getting a faster computer? :)
This is all a digression from the main point, however, that this guy's now picked up a badge no one has ever gotten in the history of this game. So congrats on that.
Wait, what? Seriously?!? Did I just do something unprecedented? :o I didn't realize... I mean I knew it was a difficult achievement, but I assumed someone must have done it in some version somewhere before... Wow! I feel like I should make an acceptance speech or something! :P Well, in that case, I'd like to thank Const for posting the mortem that inspired me to make this run. :)
(Maybe I should try for Angel of Humanity Diamond next!) :D

Nightmare! / [N!|AoMs|74%|YAVP] Masochist Diamond Badge!
« on: September 29, 2011, 23:40 »
Wow! I'm on a roll with the Diamond badges these days! :D (And again, all 5 badges, bronze to diamond, in one game! Woot!) :)
I was recently inspired to try a Shottyhead build in AoMs, since it's quite effective at keeping your enemies out of visual range and the Scout's ability to get Intuition as a basic trait means you can prevent a lot of damage to yourself. (which in Angel of Masochism is essential!) The beginning of this game was pretty tense, with a lot of close calls where I leveled up just in time before I would've died. Once I got Shottyhead, it got easier, and after I got Int 2, I could relax a little bit, but of course, AoMs never lets you *truly* relax. :)
I got Brute toward the end because I anticipated that the Lava Elemental and Cyberdemon would be too well armoured for my shotgun and I'm glad I did! When I first encountered the Lava Elemental, I fired 3 shots in quick succession and then inspected him again and he was still unhurt! :| Either he heals incredibly quickly or I just wasn't doing any damage to him! After that, I closed in with my chainsaw and it was a lucky thing that I had leveled up recently and still had some supercharge left, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the Lava Silver Badge. :)
There was an invulnerability next to the stairs on the second-last level, so I just chainsawed Cybie to death and claimed his head easily. :)

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoPc|12%|YASD] Gatekeeper Gold badge without firing a single shot
« on: September 29, 2011, 03:11 »
There seems to be a misunderstanding here... You started talking about your Gatekeeper Gold Badge and then went on to talk about Halls of Carnage. You don't get Gatekeeper badges for Halls of Carnage; you get them for passing the Hellgate on level 15. (The shimmering thing guarded by the two Bruiser Brothers) Still, passing Halls of Carnage on AoPc is pretty impressive! :)
And on a side note, I once earned a Gatekeeper Platinum Badge (pass Hellgate on Nightmare without taking damage) in Angel of Pacifism by the use of a phase device which teleported me right next to the exit!

Nightmare! / [N!|AoLT|95%|YAVP] Light Foot, Iron Skull
« on: September 29, 2011, 02:56 »
I've never been a fan of Angel of Light Travel because I'm the kind of guy who likes to hold on to as much stuff as possible, but I've had a lot of luck with melee builds lately, so I thought I'd give it a try with a Vampyre build and it worked quite well! :)
While I was at it, just for fun, I decided to get the Iron Skull Medal. I calculated it out; for a marine with level 2 Iro, 100% health is 80 hitpoints. 10,000 / 80 = 125. So, all I had to do was get them to reduce my hitpoints by 100% 125 times over. Simple, right? :) I hung out in the city of skulls for a while, getting up to 200% and then letting the lost souls pound on me down to 100% and then killing enough of them to heal me, wash, rinse, repeat 110 times. (I think this is conclusive proof that I have no life) :P I did it way more times than I needed to, but I decided I'd rather do it too much then too little. (I wouldn't want to do this over again!) :)

0.9.9.4 / [U|AoRA|100%|22|YASD] ...was foolish enough to enter the Mortuary
« on: September 28, 2011, 11:43 »
I'm such an idiot. This would have been a Quartermaster Diamond Badge if I hadn't gotten cocky and tried entering the Mortuary. I wouldn't have except that I had five large med-packs and there was an invulnerability sphere next to the entrance, so I figured I had a good chance.
In a previous game, I was disappointed to discover that the Malicious Blades Master Trait only lets you hit with two weapons if both weapons are knives, so the chainsaw doesn't count. Imagine my delight when I discovered in this game that the Butcher's Cleaver does count! :D So, here I was, wielding the Butcher's Cleaver in one hand and a chainsword in the other, massacring anyone who got close enough. For a while, I also had phaseshift armor which I power-modded and with my agility-modded boots and level 3 HR, I was moving at 0.25sec per move while running and 0.37sec per move while walking, so it was like the enemies were moving in slow motion and nothing could touch me. Even the Angel of Death was a push-over; since the phaseshift armor confers melee protection on top of MB, he was doing 1% damage per hit, and that was without me being berserk!
The game was in the bag. Victory would have been easy, but alas, for all the protection I had, MB doesn't protect against Arch-Viles. Why, oh why did I try to enter the Mortuary? What was I thinking?!? :(
Toward the end, I tried using the Azrael's Scythe's special attack, "Whisper of," (whisper of death, according to the Wiki, but it just says "Whisper of" in the game) :P and it wounded and killed countless of my enemies, so I was thinking, "Why didn't I do that sooner?" but by then, I was out of med-packs and down to 11% health, so it was a lesson learned too late to help me. (Incidentally, the scythe doesn't count as a knife either)

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoD|78%|YAFW] Hunter Diamond Badge!
« on: September 27, 2011, 23:07 »Almost an experience cross too! You are a crazy person, getting your first wins of a challenge on N!.
Heh, well, ever since I discovered that I'm capable of getting Diamond badges, I figure I should aim high. :)
I'm surprised you didn't go for the Armory win (or did you win, he reanimates, you grab prizes and go). Even with N! foolishness, the chance at an Onyx/Nano is irresistible to me. It's also a pity there's no kill-counter in game yet.
Well, like I said, I was playing it safe. I didn't even know you could get Nano or Onyx mods in the Armory! (If I'd known that, I might have stuck around) As it was, I didn't have a rocket launcher, so there was no easy way to dispose of the bodies. After I killed the Shambler, I just got out of there; I didn't want to have him revive and force me to face him again.
Any quick tips for AoD?
Use the terrain to your advantage, when you can, hiding behind cover so that the monsters don't see you first, or at the very least, you and the monsters see each other at the same time. Periodically fire your shotgun into the darkness; the spread makes it likely that it will hit anybody out there and the sound of monsters getting hurt will alert you to their presence before they see you. It's helpful to lure enemies into a position where you can use the terrain against them. With the new AI, they won't always chase you unless you piss them off by shooting them. :) Again, the shotgun is useful for this tactic: Fire blindly into the darkness with the shotgun to get their attention and then run around the nearest corner or doorway so they don't see you when they go to chase you.
Of course, none of this is really specific to AoD; I'll use these tactics in any game, really, but AoD makes them especially important. And of course, with this build, once I got Vampyre trait, all strategy went out the window except for charging blindly into the fray to keep the berserk going as long as possible. :D

Well done! I never fare well at Angel of Light Travel because of my pack-rat instincts. :) I always want to hold on to as much stuff as possible. (I've never understood why AoLT on Nightmare is only a gold badge) I'm surprised you went for the gravity boots! Considering ammo shortages in AoLT, I would have thought a self-replenishing weapon would be extremely useful!

And yeah, Shottyhead is good for keeping the baddies at arms' length. :) Should make it easy(ish) to get Destroyer Diamond Badge too! (Maybe also Masochist Diamond?)

Nightmare! / [N!|AoD|78%|YAFW] Hunter Diamond Badge!
« on: September 27, 2011, 16:48 »
I seem to be fond of the Vampyre Master Trait lately. :P And at 78% kills, I was only 2% away from getting all 5 hunter badges simultaneously! If I'd known that, I would've hung around some Pain Elementals or JC a while longer to get some extra kills. (Oh well...)
I just played it safe, not trying to complete any of the generated levels, (though, I killed a few enemies in each for the experience) I intended to get a tactical shotgun, but I didn't find a single tech mod in the entire game! I didn't really notice, though, because I was using my melee weapons most of the time anyway. :)

I was just playing a Malicious Blades game yesterday and Arch-Viles gave me the same trouble. They seem to be a lot more dangerous in this version, especially to melee players.
And according to the Wiki, part of the reason they're so dangerous is
EDIT: Oh yeah! The other thing I discovered with the Malicious Blades trait is that you only hit with both weapons if both of them are knives. You actually would have done more damage to your enemies if you had been wielding that combat knife in your inventory instead of the chainsaw!

Thanks, Game Hunter. Yeah, I guess it was overly optimistic of me to think there was a chance of saving it. I guess I just need to check weather reports before I try Ao100 again. :)

Requests For Features / Re: Autosave/Game recovery feature
« on: September 21, 2011, 09:25 »
Sure... I'm not trying to encourage cheating; (I recognize that that's part of the reason you can't save on Nightmare) How difficult would it be to embed the save in the .WAD file? Maybe, at the very least, you can give the option of saving once every 25 levels in Ao100 Nightmare? That way, it makes it a little more manageable.
Incidentally, does this mean my game really is gone? I've been reluctant to play again in case that helps make it somehow recoverable.
Also, 100th post! Woo! :D
