Heya folks. Yet another newbie here. XD So, a matter of curiosity struck me and I was wondering just how many tries it took folks to get through on TYTD. Took me nine tries, but being completely new to RogueLikes I think I did pretty well. Although, that may have been the Advanced Combat Shotgun on the 4th floor, Shottyman, Badass and Juggler (with a rocket launcher in the Prepared slot) that got me through it. >_>; So, anyhoo, how many tries did it take ye more seasoned players to get through on the easiest difficulty?

When I was new at this game I decided to start imidiatly at HNTR cause I'm that kind of a person who never touches the easy mode.
It took me like 300 tries to get my first win.
This was on 9.9.8 however.
-
never played on easy difficulty, but back on 0.9.8.10 i beat the game on my 26th try as angel of marksmanship. but that was easier to do than beating a normal game, adv.pistol with whizkid is just that powerful (i miss the AoMs adv.pistol very much)
-
I can't much remember my earlier runs... all I know is that it took a lot more than 9 tries, and on 0.9.8
-
The first time I played DoomRL was at version 0.9.8.5, which is I think one of the easiest versions I ever played, and the first times it took me over 20 times on ITYTD iirc... :P (now I win 90% of all "warming up" ITYTD games I play)
EDIT: Well, for the current version technically I won 100% of em, since I played only one to get a feel of the new features.
-
It didn't take me long to win ITYTD. I would say 7 tries. HNTR took a little longer.

I started on hey, not too rough. Took me about 15 tries, but then I went straight to ultra violence and got another win almost straight after.... So I guess once you do it on lower skills, you can rise up quickly.
