-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 7 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
6 of those were killed.
1 of those was killed by something unknown.
--------------------------------------------------------------(only cowards use nukes...).Thank you! I always have known that playing AoM on UV difficulty is cowardness. I just had no chance to kill Cybie with pistols, because i wrongly picked perks that time. (I know i'm making excuses, but it's true!))
(only cowards use nukes...).Thank you! I always have known that playing AoM on UV difficulty is cowardness. I just had no chance to kill Cybie with pistols, because i wrongly picked perks that time. (I know i'm making excuses, but it's true!))
This is my first win in Doom RL 0.9.8.5, though I had once won in the previous version by sacrificing myself for the good of mankind. Because someone suggested (half-seriously I'm sure ;)) that nuking oneself is the work of cowards, well I sought to prove him wrong!
Good God! I have tried AoB, and it took about 6 or 7 games to reach the Chained Court; even then, I lost on level 9, shot by an unseen monster as I was beating up an imp (Don't you hate it when that happens?). This mode is bloody hard! Even with the chainsaw, demons make remarkably hard foes in melee, and sergeants remain an ever-present threat. I picked Brute three times in a row. Some people suggest picking Tough as Nails after 1 level of Brute. Is this what you would recommend as well?
Truth is, AoB is actually easier than normal game, at least for me. My best results have been on AoB both dying to an unknown bug that closed my game unexpectedly without even auto-saving my progress, but both times in level 22+, which is more than my level 17 record in normal game :).
Also, the trait order he told me to do (and it was an effective one, at least when I used it) was:
Brute->Brute->Berserker->Tan->Berserker->Tan->etc.
Well, I guess I should have specified I only have played on Medium so far, so I don't really know if it is impossible on higher difficulty levels ;)
What level of difficulty are you talking about? After easy winning on Medium, I lost numerous dozens of characters trying to get to Chained Court on higher levels. It's extremely difficult on Hard and I didn't even try it on Ultra-Violence. It's very unbalanced mode for now, because meeting demon before CC often equals death and it shouldn't so. If just knife was better (and somehow guaranteed)... or if you could survive without Brute as the first trait (TaN or Hellrunner would help).
What about IM? Do you take it when you get to 'etc.'? ;)
Is Berseker that useful? I was quite disappointed when I took it. Shouldn't it be boosted a bit (percentage)?
