Title: [M|AoMr|92%|YAVP] First Angel w/ nearly no good equipment
Post by: ZicherCZ on July 08, 2011, 03:26: So happy to finally get my first Angel completed! :)

The only notable thing about this game is that I found pretty much no helpful equipment. Bulked red armour as best, no pistol exotics or uniques, a single speedloader. And in the end, I even ran out of ammo once ...
No wonder I ran down the stairs when I saw them in later levels. Until Hellgate, however, I maintained a 100% kill rate.
At times, I was lucky to have found large medpacks when I needed them, and a nuke. Without it, with the ammo left, I'd be down for the count for sure.

Mortem:

On level 9 he entered Hell's Armory. He destroyed the evil within and reaped the rewards! On level 11 he ventured into the Halls of Carnage. On level 14 he assembled a speedloader pistol! On level 15 he encountered the Phobos Hellgate. He left level 22 as soon as possible. Then at last he found Phobos Arena! He nuked level 25! On level 25 he finally sacrificed himself to kill the Cyberdemon. -- Messages -------------------------------------------------- You enter a big arena. There's blood everywhere. You hear heavy mechanical footsteps... Are you sure you want activate the thermonuclear bomb? [Y/n] You use a thermonuclear bomb. Warning! Explosion in 10 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 9 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 8 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 7 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 6 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 5 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 4 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 3 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 2 seconds! Warning! Explosion in 1 seconds! You feel relatively safe now. Congratulations! You defeated the Cyberdemon! Press <Enter>... -- General --------------------------------------------------- Before him 91 brave souls have ventured into Phobos: 79 of those were killed. 5 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual. And 5 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide. Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already! Is he immortal? 2 souls claim to have killed him... 2 killed the bastard and survived. --------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that's it - one Angel down, way too many to go! :)

... He nuked level 25! On level 25 he finally sacrificed himself to kill the Cyberdemon. ... You feel relatively safe now. ...

Now this is a strange combination.

Anyway: Well done!

Perhaps you feel safer in Death's embrace than in Hell?
Feature proposal: "You feel relatively safe now" after each and every death :).

And thanks :).

Post by: thelaptop on July 08, 2011, 12:46: Ah, a traditional pre-assembly type AoMr win. Very nicely done. And yes, if you are going for MGK you will realise really quickly that you can't really kill everything even if you wanted to given the traditional set up -- you can dance your way around most types of projectiles, but your overall damage output is on the low side.

That reminds me, I still need to stay focused enough to get my Marksmanship Silver. Keep dying on level 20 due to bad fingering of the keys and/or sloppy gameplay. >.>

*Real* marksmen quickly find out that they need no to be marksmen ;)

@thelaptop: Thanks. For me, it's the very first Angel won. Well, given time, I may get a shot on the other ones as well (if time permits - Dungeon Crawl tourney is coming close, and I have quite a spot to defend :) ).

If you want something a little easier to play for any particular difficulty, I highly recommend AoMC. Takes out the guesswork -- everything is neigh certain.

Suddenly that P-modded pistol with SoGx3 can do all kinds of... strange things. ;-)

Post by: ZicherCZ on July 11, 2011, 05:33: AoMC seems to me as designed for rapid-fire builds. Too bad I'm way too unskilled with these builds ;).

/me searches for the first former captain to come by ...
