Nightmare! / [N!|AoMC|69%|YAVP] Gatekeeper Platinum, First ever Nightmare win!
« on: February 06, 2013, 03:28 »
Finally done it! After all these years - a nightmare win :-) Man was this intense!
I was aiming for a Longinus Diamond but I realised when I got to level 17 that I wouldn't be fast enough to outrun the AoD (at least I think so - a scout with 2 levels of hellrunner would only put you at 140% - really needed some tactical boots but the rng was being stingy with the agility mods) :-( Had a piercing blade prepared and ready too... Sigh... Got through the anomaly on a lucky invulnerability globe which netted me my 3rd platinum :-)
Nightmare impressions: It's tough. Real tough. Even though AoMC makes it easier you still need to count your shots carefully, luring the big guys into doorways, water, close to barrels - it gets pretty tense. On UV once you get Int2 you can pretty much chug along from there - on nightmare you have to be extremely careful about disposing bodies. Luckily ammo problems are pretty much non-existent, I almost ran out of plasma at one point but farming an arachnotron got me back up to reasonable levels by the time I left :-)
I was too chicken to do the unchained court but, in hindsight, I really should have. Anyway - I should've been working but this damn game keeps drawing me in :-)

Why not SoG 5?I was worried I wasn't going to be fast enough to outrun the Spider Mastermind (of course that meant that I got the plasma shield just before I got to Dis... Sigh...) I should've got the Masterminds Brain medal - I got hit once because I was being godawfully stupid... Never had SoG 5 before - hmm, next run definitely :-)

Why not Glass Cannon CatEye build?Now that sounds intriguing... Hmmm...

And kill Shambler the next time ;) !Yes sir, will do! :-D Now that I've got the platinum badge I don't have to worry about messing up a good run :-)
On a completely unrelated point: been trying some Nightmare AoMC runs lately - even managed to get down to the anomaly for the first time :-)

By my not so very good calculations this took me about 60 tries to get right. I was oscillating between Gun Kata/Sharpshooter attempts until I realised I much prefer Sharpshooter. It's a much harder early game but everything gets easier at level 7 :-)
This was also the first time I found the Anti-Freak Jackal. Funnily enough I ended up favouring my modded pistols using it only for certain situations (and it's great being able to shoot through walls with it). I whimped out and took Int2 but I don't think I really needed it. It was mostly just a crutch - I need to learn to do without it.
I love AoMr runs - this was quite a lot of fun (once I got the hang of it - all my previous AoMr wins were on HMP which is a walk in the park compared to this...)
As a final note: a weird coincidence - I use random names but for some reason all of my top scoring games were by Igor Savin :-)

Hi, Thanks for the heads up! Although I reckon Destroyer Diamond is still waaaay out of my league anyway :-) I think I'm going to leave off AoMC for a while and try some other challenges, AoMr Platinum is looking tempting :-) Or maybe I should finally learn how to play a melee build (I suck at those :-) )
Nah, I think I'm going to bask in the glory just a little bit longer :D

I've been lurking on these forums for quite a while now - never felt the need to post. Until now! This was the most awesome DoomRL game I've ever played (and I've been playing since 0.9.9.2) :-) The difference maker for me was finding an early power mod which gave me just enough extra fire power with the chaingun to get by in the early game (just about all my AoMC games end before the Anomaly...). I've been having trouble with the Chained Court recently but I've tried the tactic of heading towards the Arena Master early (finishing off the Barons while I still have cover) and using the rocket launcher to keep him back (Int2 is a godsend for AoMC). I've got about a 50% success rate now which doesn't sound great but is a huge improvement over my Stay-close-to-the-Berserk-globes-and-wait-for-the-Barons-to-shred-you tactic...
For the Anomaly I went with a Need for Speed build - HellRunner 2, tactical armour and agility modded boots. That's not enough to guarantee you won't get hit as you sprint through but it seems to work 1 game in 3 (remember to shoot the door down before you sprint! Sigh...). Everything was downhill after that - a fast rapid-fire build is just about unstoppable. It felt good to cut through everything like a knife - my previous AoMC wins are usually mad scrambles for the stairs, this time I took sweet revenge... The Mastermind went down without any trouble - by then I could hit and run with impunity.
This is probably the only Diamond I'm going to be getting for a while though - I'm an Ultraviolence player, Nightmare kicks my ass almost immediately. I haven't got any Platinum Badges yet - there are a few UV ones that I might go for... Not sure what to do next, I've become a bit of an AoMC specialist (it's my favourite, followed closely by AoMr. I almost never play anything else...) so I guess Destroyer Platinum/Diamond should be the next goals but they both look like Hell to achieve...
Anyway - I'm really stoked with this - it's taken me months!
