Well, I might suck at DoomRL, but I still play it a lot. I generally favour shotgun run-throughs, maybe a chaingun. It's rare that I find anything notable, and when I do it usually doesn't fit my traits well.
Not this time, though!
Assault shotgun!
Rapid chaingun!
ADVANCED DOUBLE SHOTGUN ON LEVEL 6!!!1
Yes, this is exactly what I want to see on my first ever Angel of Marksmanship run, thanks a lot, excuse me while I hold back the tears of joy RAGE.
Let's hear them folks, I'm sure most have you have at plenty more toothgrinders than this one. Post your tales of monitor-punching fury at what the little ascii meanies have done to you. Let's hear what unlikely events made your personal Hell.
-
Rage eh. A recent one was on my AoI run. When I enter the level it displays the "unique is here" message. Next room to the right, the turn I enter, I catch a brief glimpse of a bright green coloured unique weapon right beside me in the corner... as well as a cacodemon bolt which hits me, and vaporises the unique next to me. I didn't even get to find out which unique it was, heh.
Another would be the game where I got trigun on about lvl 12 I think, then anti-freak jackal on the very next level. It was an AoB game.
-
RNG spoilt me putting Anti-Freak Jackal on one of my AoM runs (already dead) on level 2.
Then he made fun out of me making dozens of AoM marines die in one turn thanks to many ambushes: insta killed by Barons, Commandos, Mancubis, etc. Nothing can't beat the situation that on one turn you are alive with near-full HP (and do not see any enemy) and on the following turn you have them negative....
Add to that so many Miniguns, Assault Shotguns, Advanced Rocket Launchers, Fastload Launchers and other hi-tech Chaingun-Shotgun-BFG-like goodies, that it is even hard to remember their names.
And when I changed to AoB I almost instantly got tons of Damage Mod on level 2 :( .
-
I have never, ever, ever seen a minigun when I can use it. I get one on almost every AoMr and shotty run, though.

True.
Kornel is teasing us :( .

My biggest rage story?
Well, to become a Major, all I still have to do now is winning an AoPurity challenge; where I almost never succeed in.
Although there was one try that went very good. I was on level 24 already had very good stats and much large medpacks, I was ready for the Cybie battle. There was a space where I saw another medpack which would be very useful for the big battle BUT... there seemed to be a lava space under it. My HP was about 15% and I had no boots.
AAARGH!!!!!!11 >>>=(((
Really, I think I was so angry that I simply didn't want to see that game again for like 2 months...
EDIT: Or did I see a cell? I don't remember it correctly. But I do remember it would've been very useful...
EDIT2: And yes, I STILL have to complete the @&§$ing challenge... =P
-
Mine is synonimous with the words boots. And gothic. So gothic boots, than.
Because nothing beats spending a king's arsenal of ammo, armor and medkits trying to get to the end of the Lava Pits only to find some useless boots. Really unforgetable experiance it was, really.
-
I've found a railgun !
On AoMr.
This was the most epic combo my computer had ever recieved...
-
Why is it that you always find melee uniques on a normal game, and ranged weapons on a AoB or AoMr game?

Ask Kornel.

Ask Kornel.
With a bat.

Lol, no, with a Butcher's Cleaver =P
-
You know, I think Kornel should implement a compartiment in Player.dat which gives a list of all uniques you've discovered so far, and eventually how many you've collected yet...
Then at least we have te feeling we've actually achieved something if we find a Railgun on AoMr! =)
Although the extra rule should be that the item must be in our inventory when we win/die.
-
So I got the classic railgun and AoMr combo. Also a minigun shortly after. Woohoo.

Lava my ass. I don't care.(i lol'ed so hard at that) and i'd rather wade through a lake of molten rock for kick-ass hell boots than go to Hot Pocket for crappy vinyl knock-offs :P bring an envirosuit next time. they even GIVE you one for the trip back.
-
You should ALWAYS have at least 2 envirosuits if you want to survive The Lava Pits...
-
And indeed I had them. The problem is, Lava pits are guarded. And since you can carry only a limited amount of envirosuits, you are forced to break through enemy forces rather than take your time and do things properly. And Gothic Boots are just not worth the resources needed to pass Lava Pits. So naturally, I was a bit... disappointed.
-
lol, 'I wasted the Lava Pits and all I got were these crappy boots.' there's a new unique for ya, the Phobos Hell Tourist T-shirt. some not-too-impressive armor, but with a 5% chance to scare demons into running from you.
-
WOW! I JUST FOUND A MINIGUN (O_O)
... Of course, on AoMr.
YEAH WHAT ELSE DID YOU EXPECT HUH???? >>>=(((
=P

Assault Shotgun is the another option.
-
Just tried my first shottyman runthrough, got struck by bad luck time after time. I kept running into "barrel levels", found an awefull lot of useless weapon mods (while I normally go for pistols and crave them). Found Gothic boots on level 11 which were useless :(. The entire game, which lasted untill level 13 (orso) I was still walking around with the default shotgun (couldn't find any other shotgun).
Man, Doomrl can be frustrating.
P.S. First post, w00t.

OH NOW YOU ARE JUST TAKING THE PISS.

Will I be hunted down and banned forever from this topic if I tell here that I've just found a Grammaton Cleric Beretta on AoMr challenge? (Won that one) :)
Seriously though, RNG is just that - random. I once found Assault Shotgun when I decided to try Shottyman for a zillionth time (lost that one anyway). On the other hand, I lost count how many times I found advanced chainguns and plasma rifles on levels 20+ with no weapon mods whatsoever on the way down to Cybie... On the AoMr above I haven't seen a single weapon damage mod the whole game. Weapon reload and magazine mods, though, were plentiful.

I was finding dozens of reload and magazine mods on AoMr as well. And damage ones are rarer than uniques.
I do not think it is a coincidence. Kornel is just mean and like to tease us >.> .
-
No I'm not! Honestly xP
-
Try this on for size. you see: a baron of hell(unhurt) fire plasma rifle! this punk'll go down in under half a clip!...you see: a baron of hell(almost unhurt) huh? switch to Assault Shotgun and close to melee range. Fire. you see: a baron of hell(almost unhurt) WTF? Empty the AS INTO HIS FACE, taking some damage on the way. you see: a baron of hell(lightly wounded) Yeah. Turns out he was wearing the Baron Armor. I had to shoot him many many times, and when i was done, the armor was like 1/6 (my armor went from brand spankin' shiny new and modded for protection to 1/5) and i wanted nothing so much then as a cigar and a 'kick monster corpse' command.
-
In my early plays, i played only AoMr. I went to lvl 15-17(it was long time ago). There were a hellish city.Cleaned it. Left 1 unit. Left 1 house. Open the door. Find myself fired by a h. Fire him. Not dead. He fires me. I'm dead. That bastard have killed me when I've started to recognise the tactic of the game! Bastard bastard bastard!
About uniques, I finded almost in every AoMr game Grammathon clerics beretta. And in the melee game I found butchers cleaver 2lvl after the chained court(where are the chains,huh?). I thought this randomizer randomizez uniques to your style of play.
P.S: advanced BFG is always in The Mortuarry on the one of the edges.
-
Damn you, RNG. You just had to spawn a unique weapon IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLUSTER OF MANCUBI AND BIG RED O THINGIES!

Sorry, randomizator, that I've said so many good about you. You're a bastard! Giving me an Assault shongun, weapon with which I've completed AoI on AoMr.That's not fair. And even if it's not enough, on Hell's Armory(where I found it) 1 skull was hanging on the lava withoug thoughts of flying onto the terrain. With the env. suit I got it, but then that bastard ended when I w on the end of the way. It killed me. And it is a suicide. What's the...?
-
This skull on lava very often happens to be there. Yet another Kornel joke >.> .
-
doesn't spawn on HNTR, or if it does it actually flies around. i leave the little bastard alone anyway unless i'm feeling the RAGE. (the green rage :P)
-
I was trying to clear a path between an Invulnerability Globe and the stairs, so that I would max out my invulnerable time. It was at about level 20, so it would have helped in case the game decided to spawn multiple Arch-Viles next to a group of Revenants. This very thing had happened twice to me already, one of those on my current level. I had very low health, below 15% I believe, and was planning to grab the Invulnerability Globe rather than waste one of my precious Large Med-Packs. I was moving some barrels next to walls to blow a path through, as I lacked a Rocket Launcher. I normally use either a pistol build, with Son of a Gun, Eagle Eye, and Dualgunner, or a chaingun build with Son of a Bitch, Eagle Eye, and Triggerhappy, so I don't normally keep the Rocket Launcher after I used it to blow my way through The Wall. I was not paying much attention at the moment, as I was thinking about how I was to reposition the next barrel I needed to use, and pushed my current one right into some lava. So because of my extreme stinginess with Invulnerability Globes (am I alone in this, or does anyone else treat them similarly?) I inadvertently caused the death of my character.
-
in AoP i was in a rage to kill cybie i got to the last level and i shot all my cell's he was in severely wonded and is nothing left that a chaingun and a plasma rifle, i shot all the plasma rifle cell's he was now in mortality wonded so i shot my chaingun and it's says that the cybie was in almost dead (me too in that moment and no medkits left :() so i think "i'm going to kill in the next shot's surely"......
i shot my last 5 bullets of my chaingun...
HE DIND'T DIE AND HE KILL ME WTF?
i was have 1EE and 3SoaB
TOO MUCH WORK TO GET THE CYBIE KILL AND IN VAIN
-
On level 9 he found Hell's Armory.
On level 9 he found the Nuclear Plasma Rifle!
On level 11 he found the Minigun!
On level 14 he ventured into the Halls of Carnage.
On level 15 he found the Malek's Armor!
On level 16 he found the Hell Staff!
On level 17 he found the Phaseshift Boots!
On level 19 he finally was killed by a mancubus.
I was low on health figting a baron, so I used the Hell Staff to escape and give me time to use a medkit. I then heard a rocket sound and died, without ever seeing exactly where I ended up.

Wow, that's a load of uniques. You must be either a very lucky person, OR someone who knows which hex codes to change ;D
-
I was doing my second most successful HMP run to date when I stop to reload my Plasma Rifle and a Baron of Hell LITERALLY TELEPORTS INTO THE ROOM AND KILLS ME WHILE I'M RELOADING.
Most of my RAGE moments are due to me being an idiot, like getting to the Cyberdemon with an AoMr with the Beretta and switching it to full-auto, putting it into my off-hand then forgetting it takes like 3 turns to use up all the ammo in it, and dying when I tried to reload.
-
SURROUNDED. 5% HEALTH. WEAPONS EMPTY. BLUE ARMOR 11% AND SOILED....oh yeah i have a phase device! *teleports four spaces and dies before he can scream*
-
I've had quite a few RAGE situations but the latest one that pissed me off:
Trying to finish AOI in Nightmare Mode for the gazillionth time:
Finish lvl 22 at 100% or so in berserk mode. Enter lvl 23, caves level with 5 Arachnotrons looking at me, no nearby walls to hide and no stairs in sight. Plasma Gun and try to fry them faster than they kill me. When i'm finishing the last one almost dead 2 of them get raised; thank you RNG. I managed to die for 70 1damage attacks, that one should be a record.
What pisses me the most is that i only died because you can't really dodge anything in berserk mode...
-
And of course the time i nuked the Unholy Cathedral and found out i didn't get a SoL that way :P.
-
I have never, ever, ever seen a minigun when I can use it. I get one on almost every AoMr and shotty run, though.
So I guess I should feel good for finding it with a chaingun build with EE 3? :P >:D
I will say, though, that that thing was the cause of the first time I ran out of ammo. :P
AND YES I KNOW that post was a long time ago. So what? :P
However, this chaingun build, I found a double shotgun on level five. Not much compared to some of yours, but WHY!? WHY DO YOU TORMENT US WITH THESE GOODIES!?!?
Who wants to bet this will be the first run I get the Pancor Jackhammer? :(
Edit: Okay, I've found FOUR double shotguns. WHY!?!?
-
After beating AoMr with normal pistols, I was trying to conquer AoB, and when I went to Hell's Armory I found the Trigun ;_;
Also, finding the Anti-Freak Jackal in a shotgun game (but I ended up using it anyway, the best artifact weapon, IMO)
-
It's still useful. *coughangelsarmcough* :P
-
I just got an advanced double shotgun when taking a FUCKING MELEE RUN on LEVEL FUCKING TWO!!!
WHY!?!?!?!?
*sobs*
I'm gonna figure out how to cheat so I can change my Brute trait to a Reloader trait. :,(
Edit: Hey, guess what? I found a bug in the current version! :D
-
It's still useful. *coughangelsarmcough* :P
...ASDFASDFASDF ):
I wish I knew that D:
Still, thats a good tip :3c

Hey, I'm only here to convince you to throw your hard drive through drywall. :P
-
My laptops already doing that though. ;_;
(and possibly Angel of Death)
-
I'm gonna figure out how to cheat so I can change my Brute trait to a Reloader trait. :,(
I've been trying to do this same thing for months, and all I've figured out how to do is modify items and provide a permanently fixed amount of health.
BTW: I think that the thermie deals 200 damage to everything when it goes off, but I could be wrong. Just sayin'
Now, time for rage. I had just gotten shottyman for a shotgun run, and a c killed me. I'm looking over the mortem, and there it is. [n] small med pack. I had plenty of time to use it, too.
-
Got a pretty swell marine going on!
Ripping and tearing like nobody's business!
Got modded Combat Shotguns and Chainguns!
OH NO! Surrounded by Cacodemons with only 10% health!
Luckily, I have a teleporting device...
WHICH SENDS ME STRAIGHT INTO A FUCKING SEA OF LAVA GODDAMN
-
WHICH SENDS ME STRAIGHT INTO A FUCKING SEA OF LAVA GODDAMN
It teleported you right on the lava? If so - that's a bug, i guess - it shouldn't do that...
-
That's a goddamned shame.
Ah well.
EDIT: NEVER PUSH EXPLOSIVE BARRELS INTO ACID POOLS. I LEARNED IT THE HARD WAY.
Why the hell did I think it would be a good idea?...
-
Found an Anti-Freak Jackal on a normal AoMr-ish run. On two different runs! ^^
Normally, the AFJ is a great weapon, right. Decent damage to multiple grouped enemies, it's great!
But not when you're running low on ammo...AS IT DESTROYS ANY DROPS!!!
I ran out of ammo and got killed by a lost soul...BOTH TIMES!
*weeps*
