 23 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 18 of those were killed.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 4 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 1 killed the bitch and survived.
 3 showed that it can outsmart Hell itself.

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

Starting from an (almost) fresh player data. It was fun wandering into areas I've never seen before. It was my first time seeing Limbo and I almost died trying to clear it, but more importantly I grabbed the nuclear BFG which let me get to JC. I got this run in like my 4th attempt, I'm not sure if it's just me still remembering how to handle the challenge, or it got easier in 0.9.9.7 after the changes.

I've never seen Mt. Erebus either, but thankfully it doesn't change that much from the Lava Pits (are pain elementals that don't summon lost souls on death intentional? It almost crippled my MBm build).

I really want to hunt for more diamond badges but I don't quite grasp the strategy on most of them yet, at least for those that aren't mostly luck based anyway. I could probably do Marksman/Shottyman Diamond next, just need to learn what are the best builds for doing that. However, seeing the nightmare monsters appearing in the later levels on N!, I can see why they'd be diamond badges.. x)

Clearing UC, even on N! is surprisingly consistent. Naturally you still need berserker trait to even stand a chance while exchanging hits, but if you have level 1 HR + Scout it's easy to squeeze in free hits on the AoD. With 1 HR, Scout and green armor I find that I can get consecutive free hits the most while berserked by making the AoD fall into a pattern of 1. Take steps back until he steps along with you twice in a row 2. Hit him (you shouldn't get hit at this point) 3. Back to 1. It seems finicky with other armors equipped but even with a red armor you can score free hits (and if you have a red armor you can afford to take more hits anyway). The drawback of this approach is that you're almost guaranteed to run out of berserk time by the next level, but who cares, you have the longinus spear! Usually I only need some type of armor and 1 large med-pack to do UC with the combat knife. If you have a bulk/power mod I honestly would save it for a red armor.

It's really hard to decide on getting Int before or after getting MBm though, by going this route I had to get lucky a few times running into powerups, but thanks to getting the master trait first it helped me clear some nasty spawn points as I entered a level, where I'm not so sure even Int2 would have helped. Also, it helped me to go for offensive traits earlier so that there's less situations where I'm forced to retreat from enemies and lower my kill %.

As you can see I got 94%, but that was inflated by a pain elemental cave, but you can just play carefully and get >80% without pain elementals. I had blademaster by the time I could enter the mortuary, but I didn't need to go there to get Daredevil Diamond, so I passed. :)

This is probably one of the easier diamond badges (or less luck dependent). It's definitely a fun challenge, and also good practice for dealing with tough monsters on N! and UC right away. I did die a lot, but 90% of the deaths were in the first level or right after UC if I ran out of health packs.

I was testing this mode, and I noticed that you start right where UC is available, so my first thought was to try a melee build. I was surprised at how very little luck is involved, the starting equipment lets you obliterate the first level with ease on medium difficulty at least, and you're already level 3 before the first level is done. It seems you can do UC consistently as long as you grab an armor and keep your initial large health packs, and more often than not you end up with more than that. I got some funny badges along the way, like Aurora Badge on probably the last mode I would expect to get it. Once you grab the Longinus spear it's pretty smooth sailing, though having Enviroboots drop definitely helped since I could not find an envirosuit nor could I assemble decent enough boots before the lava pits.

I wonder how UC would be done on N! though.. I figure in the worst case scenario you'd be dying so often you'll eventually run into really lucky starts and find yourself dueling the AoD with an invulnerability and berserk pack or something to that effect. I feel I'm abusing melee a lot, but I guess in this case there's not much choice aside from a melee build if you want to do UC immediately. xD

EDIT: Now that I think about it, this mode might be an easier AoB, since the moment you clear UC even on N!, it's pretty much a race to the finish, except you skip all the nasty parts at the beginning.

Requests For Features / Android market!
« on: October 03, 2011, 13:23 »
I was thinking about it for a bit, and doomrl could be ported to a mobile platform like Android. While the key usage can range from minimal to extensive, I think the pace of DoomRL is appropriate for a mobile environment. Porting roguelikes to android is not unheard of, and there's in fact many attempts, though in my opinion any game that does not fit the "coffee break roguelike" paradigm is not appropriate for an Android port.

Menu navigation is already simple and painless, but I imagine the main challenge here would be maximizing usability of the UI given a small window size and a touchscreen. For example, items in your inventory could be highlighted in the touch-screen, and highlighting an item gives you the option of using it or dropping it. A full featured keyboard can be used, but this would leave roughly half the window size for the map, so maybe a smaller portion of the screen can be used in exchange for less keys/more touch-screen interaction.

Of course, if such a port was made, I would be glad to pay for it. Having the convenience of playing my favorite roguelike just about anywhere is well worth the $1.99 it might cost, or whatever it ends up being.

It's definitely not a trivial problem, but if there's a roguelike that can become a hit in the Android market, it would be this one. :)

EDIT: I forgot to add, I know nothing about Android application development, and I don't know if the language and/or libraries used to develop DoomRL are incompatible or not. Just wanted to throw this idea out there.

I don't consider myself particularly good, but I've done a great deal of attempts of AoB in past versions to no avail (though a good chunk of these were during the version where berserk was bugged, to your horror/disadvantage), and now I've gotten this on roughly my fourth try. The scout class is, without a doubt, made for AoB on N!, which consists of doing a mad dash to the stairs while plowing through enemies and picking up what you run into.

I really like this for one simple reason: I can actually play this mode without fearing the early levels nearly as much, but if I'm feeling feisty I can go for more achievements and special levels where I would most likely have to push my luck. For the next attempts I'll probably stick around and try to get the items I need to do a full win, then Hell's Arena, so on so forth. Notice that the Cyberdemon literally spawned next to me in the top left, free Cyberdemon's head :)

I'm not even sure if even now with the new classes there is a viable build for AoB other than this. Are there other builds? Butcher's cleaver with malicious blades? lol

Out of frustration, I start-scummed for an unique, mostly because I kept making small mistakes around the beginning, and these usually got me killed before my character was more stable. I got the Grammaton Cleric Beretta, so I opted for a pistol build, it seems like a good thing to do in Ao100 anyway, and boy was it worth it. Level 2 intuition was all the defensive traits I needed well until the later levels, especially when I could have a pea-shooter that hits like a truck. What really saved my butt multiple times was having an ammo chain handy to eliminate the only drawback the Beretta had, I could burst fire everything and knock them away to safety and reload with reckless abandon. Even without the beretta, a pistol build would probably work very well anyway.

The nuclear plasma rifle seems to be one of the main things for an "Ao100 kit", and I ran into it around the 30-40's, allowing me to save massive amounts of ammo, and allowing me to dump the bulk mods I have been piling up, as well as putting EE/SoB to good use.

A Dragonslayer dropped, and I would have opted for grabbing it right there and then, but I'm sure you at least need to be berserk to even have a shot at grabbing it, so I had to leave it behind. :(

I ran into two Necro Armors, but they were obsolete already thanks to having cerberus armors and the Lava Armor. Speaking of cerberus armor, are you supposed to be able to mod the cerberus armor? I got a P mod on it somehow and I think assemblies typically can't be modded further. With that said, duelist cerberus armor with a P mod = one of the best armors in the game? O_o

At some point I wanted to try dualgunner with a Beretta and an energy pistol, but I got the parts way too late. It probably would be deadly too, and reloading wouldn't be too much of a problem as long as I take cover whenever the Beretta runs out. Thankfully, SoGx5 and SoBx5 with 0.1 firing speed with burst shots made short work of just about everything regardless. I still managed to get the energy pistol, which is much better on a per-shot basis and handles monsters that resist bullets a lot better. The Beretta still outperformed in burst fire, though.

I had no idea what the level with the "strange alarm" was all about. I almost died with all the Arch-Viles, and I'm pretty sure that was one of the few levels I had to ditch 100% monsters on. I think I encountered more Arch-Viles there than in the actual level where I got a complex of Arch-Viles.. O_o

The last level was brutal, since my Cerberus armor was on its last legs, and I spawn right next to roughly 7 Barons and 3 Arch-Viles. As tanky as I was, my main armor was the Lava Armor which doesn't protect against acid.. and I had to kill the Arch-Viles first if I wanted to make it to cover from the Barons and kill them off. I got to the 10% health range a few times, but thankfully technician traits save the day by allowing me to use large med packs in 0.1 seconds, and I managed to kill the Arch-Viles and found some cover. The rest was pretty easy and you can see me mess around with a firestorm rocket launcher, lol.

Right after I beat this challenge I got the Arch-Vile rank, hooray~

I really liked UV. The RNG gods were quite generous with mods, as I was able to pimp out my plasma rifle with all 5 mods shortly after getting WK2. Having a nanofiber red armor with an ADDITIONAL power mod was a lifesaver. The amount of abuse you need to take in this difficulty is phenomenal, even when I was taking my sweet time in UV and trying to be as cautious as possible. I had Ammochain so I could easily spam enemies to death from afar, but I limited myself to narrow corridors where I detected enemies, I thought the risk of exploding undiscovered barrels and precious supplies was too high.

I definitely wasn't confident enough to do a Conqueror run so I never got melee traits for the Unholy Cathedral, but considering the game gave me a nuke and invulnerability globe right before the Unholy Cathedral, it was basically begging me to nuke the place to oblivion and get free XP, so I did. ^_^

I was nearly unkillable by the time I maxed out Ironman, so the remainder of the levels were pretty easy. I tried to kill JC with my plasma rifle for fun, but I forgot to equip my gothic boots to avoid being blown away while chainfiring him, and by the time I realized this I had to run away and arm the nuke because BARONS EVERYWHERE JESUS CHRIST.

Fun game, now to figure out how to equip that Berserker's armor..
