0.9.9.6 / [U|AoMC|YAAM/YAFV] Redemption

« on: June 10, 2012, 04:20 »

A few days after the epic fail with the lava element as well as a few Nightmare AoMC runs (Furthest I got was level 4...-_-), I started AoMC UV again, hopeful that this time it would be succesful.

I actually had a bit of trouble with the Wall, but ultimately all the barons and Arch-Viles fell.

Phobos Anomaly no damage. I was hoping to get Gatekeeper Diamond by not taking damage by the Cyberdemon. As you can tell from the lack of Gatekeeper Diamond...yeah.

Hell's Armory I got hit exactly ONE time, by the Shambler. Ugh.

For the entire run I did'nt assemble tactical boots because the first steel boots I found were right after CITY OF SKULLS!

Unholy Cathedral and Vaults went easily. Mortuary was fun, but it was'nt too bad, despite the infinity of Mancubi.

Inventory Management was a pain, but I took care of it.

JC started off with spawning Lost Souls. BFG'd them. When he was at Mortally wounded he spawned Revenants. BFG'd it as well, killing JC in the process.

I got my very first Platinum badge with this run, and it, along with Veteran Gold, got me to Major Rank. 70 more Arch-Viles and I'm advancing to Arch-Vile rank.

I should try to beat a few more runs on HNTR (Angel of Pacifism, Angel of Light Travel, Angel of Impatience, which I have no idea how to beat), then a few on HMP.

P.S. Second Conqueror.

0.9.9.6 / [U|AoMC|99%|24|YASD] A fatal error

« on: June 07, 2012, 06:32 »

After my previous run, 2 more passed which I quit on after getting blasted by sergeants on a regular basis. Finally, I did NOT get blasted by sergeants at the entryway, and the run took off.

Few problems in Phobos and it's special levels. Anomaly went about th esame, as in I got knocked around, but it kept knocking me away from Demons.

Deimos got interesting. Hell's Armory I assembled ballistic red for UC, then right after Halls of Carnage found a Grammaton Cleric Beretta. City of skulls and Spider's Lair went quickly and fairly painlessly.

Because I went out of my way and got berserker, UC was easy to do, and so was Mortuary actually. Vaults went quickly, in which I also found the Anti-Freak Jackal. If this was an AoMr run, that would have been killer, dual wielding unique pistols.

Mortuary...it was quite interesting. Interesting because 1 of the arch-viles spawned right next to me, while the rest all spawned to the left of me. I ran to the right, saw no enemies, ran left and the fun began. Some much shooting later, it was over, I claimed my rewards.

Lava pits went quickly, but right before and after that I encountered 2 armed nukes. You know, because.

Then, inside Dis, I made pretty much the biggest mistake I could have made. Instead of equipping the Nuclear Plasma Rifle, overcharging it and ten using the Lava Element to survive the explosion, I...use the lava element first. Knowing that it would run out before the nuke exploded, I went for the SM. Long story short, the energy-shielded vest got ripped apart in 3 turns with my health not far behind.

Honestly, I find JC MUCH easier than SM, if only because dodging a rocket launcher is easier than a super chaingun.

I'm gonna take a few days rest to try and calm myself down after such a humiliating loss before I try again. Oh well, got Explorer and Conqueror badges in the mean time, consolation prizes really. It's also the first time I got them, so yay.

0.9.9.6 / [U|AoMC|99%|17|YASD] Didn't think Conqueror through...

« on: June 06, 2012, 08:10 »

I don't know why, but I want to get the explorer AND conqueror medals. At the same time as AoMC on UV. Yeah, maybe I should do explorer/conqueror on a lower difficulty, but oh well.

Anyway, the run was actually going fairly well. The Wall I had a small amount of trouble when I got blasted away from my corner, but pulled through.

Phobos Anomaly went not so well, but some knockback and the red armor allowed me to kill off all the enemies.
City of Skulls, thankfully I did not repeat the same mistake on my previous AoMC UV run and actually went in with a shotgun.

Cyberdemon? Cyberdemon's Head.

Of course, because I wanted to go for conqueror, that meant I had to do Unholy Cathedral, which meant I needed melee. I also knew that I would need melee protection. Thankfully I found a technical and an agility pack on the level with the stairs, as well as some red armor, so ballistic red armor.

Long story short, I grossly underestimated the damage that the AoD can do and the armor got destroyed, with me not long after. I wanted to equip red armor, but it was too late.

Next run, I'm gonna go for Berserker first (After Ammochain and the 1 Badass level), THEN go for Finesse/Whizkid. Hey, even on a non-melee build it's useful, especially on an AoMC build where damage taken is at it's greatest.

The skulls were meant for the Mortuary, but MAYBE it would have been a better idea to use the hatred skull on the demon corpses in UC so I could get the damage resist and double melee damage from Berserk. Oh well, maybe next time.

--------------------------------------------------------------
So, for practice for future UV runs, I am doign a few AoMC runs. Sure, it's not pureblood practice (read: easy to kill enemies), it still good for practice avoiding actual damage, which is pretty much the whole point.

Revenant's Launcher and Medical Powerarmor were the uniques of the day. Neither got used, Revenant's Launcher because I had just gotten Ammochain in Hell's Armory, and Medical Powerarmor because I was wearing onyx-modded red armor.

Hell's Armory was very generous today. Not only did I find the Revenant's Launcher, but I managed to actually clear the whole thing out no damage, getting me my first Shambler's Head which gave me Heroic Silver (Cyberdemon's Head also contributed). But that's not all. The reward for fulyl clearing the place out? A Nano AND an Onyx pack. I wanted to make lava boots (Which would have helped in the Late Deimos/Hell "Khe he he, this will be a mess" levels) and powered red, but seeing how much experience I was getting, I went for onyx-modded red and then would replace with Nanofiber Skin Red.

I had actually cleared out all the special levels (Yes, even City of Skulls and Mortuary), except, of course, for Unholy Cathedral. Had I kept the chainsaw from Chained Court, held it through inventory shortages I think I would have actually done UC and gotten my first Explorer AND Conqueror medals. But, alas...so close, yet so far...

Gatekeeper Gold comes straight from an invulnerability sphere before Tower of Babel AND having the Cyberdemon start right next to me (Well, not right next to me, but close enough to only take a few steps to find).

Next I'll probably be completely crazy, but I will probably go for UV AoMC. I'm not kidding. :)

JC...had a bit of a rough start with him knocking me around, but only had to use 1 large med-pack, and after I got him into my sights, he fell very quickly.

~160 more arch-viles for Arch-Vile rank, 2 more gold and 1 platinum for Major rank.

Discussion / Ultra-Violence complaint/whine/whatever

« on: June 02, 2012, 12:46 »

Okay, so as someone who isn't too skilled in the game but has a fair amount of experience (Read: Has all bronze, over half silver and a few gold badges as well as having completed HMP 2 times), I find the jump in difficulty from HMP to UV to be a bit too steep.

Now I'm not saying anything about the increase of enemies (Former sergeants for me are a universal problem with their FRIGGING Hitscan shotguns and knockback. Seriously, if you're against a wall and there are 2 sergeants next to each other, unless you have a shotgun yourself you'll simply be juggled to death of you'll get lucky). In fact, the extra experience does help. My biggest problem is how stronger enemies appear earlier. Seriously, Hell Knights on level 3?!? Unless you're going for a shotgun build, they will ruin your day as they take far too many hits to kill at that part of the game while dishing out too much damage to endure.

Now before you say "Why don't you use shotguns then?", I want my first UV win to be on AoMr, so I have no access to shotguns. Even worse: Pain Elementals on level 4-5 and Hell Barons on level 5-6. What's next, Mancubi on level 11 and Arch-viles on level 13? Until you get a master trait (I generally go for Bullet Dance. Yeah, it's my favorite), you'll be forced to ru-oh wait, I also am used to going for YAAM's, so I don't run. Something in me just forces myself to not run until everything is dead, unless there's a time limit like AoRA or I can't kill off everything like AoD.

I know this sounds like me whining and, well, it kinda is, but I just find the difficulty spike to be a bit too steep.
If anyone has any advice on how to survive UV on AoMr, then please.

I was just trying to get the final few bronzes that I did'nt have. After a few unsuccesful AoI runs (Seriously, how is one supposed to do that run?), I finally got past the Bruiser Brothers. I did'nt win, but at least I got Eagerness Bronze. After that I only needed one bronze badge left: Quartermaster Bronze. This is my run.

Went for an ammochain build. I actually found 2 energy-shielded vests as you can see in my inventory. Anyway, it pulled me through.
I wanted to do Lava Pits, but only if I had gotten a homing phase device. I only got it on the level right before the SM.
I actually let the nuke explode on level 21, if only I wouldn't have to deal with Mancubi. There was an invulnerability sphere next to it, so I survived. Also, Grammaton Cleric Beretta. Picked it up to confirm that I got it.
Hell's Armory: The only level that you should not skip under any circumstances, unless you're on an AoOC run, in which case you can't access it anyway. I had to bail on it early though, as I did'nt want to be nuked.
Next time I'mma do AoRA, it's probably gonna be so I can go for Skull Silver (Beat City of Skulls on AoRA).
A few close calls with the nukes, but I kept finding the stairs in time.
What next? Probably gonna try to do AoMr on UV. Still haven't got past level 4 (No, really), or a standard run on HMP, if only to get UAC gold (If I got Veteran Gold, why can't it give me UAC gold by default as well?)

EDIT: Might as well add that at the point of me posting this I'm at 26/15/6/0/0 as far as badges are concerned. Also, the run upgraded me to Captain rank. Still just under 2k kills and 200 arch-viles until Arch-Vile rank.

0.9.9.6 / [M|AoD|88%|YAVP] A preview of the Nightmare

« on: May 29, 2012, 12:18 »

So, after a few random runs, I decided to try and get the remaining bronze badges. After a few failed Strongman Bronze runs (I actually did a melee-only run, but appearantly it did'nt count. Probably because I got a Butcher's Cleaver or the chainsaw), I went for the challenge badges. And what better way to start it off than with Angel of Darkness? Well, just about any other way, but oh well. What sets this run apart form my rest is because I did'nt use my traditional MBD build. Instead I went for a Cateye build. And, despite some bumps I pulled off a win.

--------------------------------------------------------------
I did'nt bother with Hell's Arena because of respawning monsters.
Mancubi level, I just bailed on it.
Phaseshift armor set. Did'nt expect it to actually give me a perma-envirosuit. Then again, it did say that I started to float, so...
The battle against the Cyberdemon...did'nt go too well. But liberal use of the knockback from being hit by the rocket launcher + Intuition 2 allowed me to beat him.
Spider Mastermind? Went much better, but almost died as well. Had it not been for the Hellwave Pack, it would have been a YASD instead of a YAVP.
Before getting Int2 and MCe, it was fairly rough, but after those two, it was'nt as bad.
I figured I'd do City of Skulls because enemies there don't leave corpses.
Maybe I should have used the Lava Element. I had actually forgotten I had that.
I can see the merits of MAc now, considering the plasma/laser rifle...
AoI, AoP, AoConfidence, AoRA and AoMC. Which is next? I tried a few AoI runs, none of them took off. AoMC tried once, died on the first level on HNTR. No, really. I can't imagine doing AoP without AoI first. So it's between AoConfidence and AoRA. Probably gonna do AoRA. Tried to do it, but my 100%-'ist just kept holding me back. Now with AoD behind me, maybe I can ignore that YAAM temptation for AoRA.

Discussion / Arachnophobia: Spider's Lair discussion

« on: May 25, 2012, 10:27 »

Because I haven't found a thread about it, I decided to start one up.
This is probably for me the 2'nd hardest special level, beaten out only by Mortuary. Basically, the level is a large room with a few walls on the far edges and some teleporters that take you to one or the other side. And there are plenty of Arachnotrons (you know, those bastards that deal far more damage than it's sane AND can hit if you sidestep because they fire multiple plasma blasts.) placed all over.
Any real way you tackle this level? I personally just run straight for a teleporter and then just hope for the best, either luring them in for a melee kill, or keeping them the hell away from me while I blast them from relative safety.

...no one wielding the Spear of Destiny can ever be defeated. And in my case, that was true except for the first time I claimed the Longinus Spear. (NOTE: This is the 2'nd time I got the Spear, so no definitive proof can be drawn yet).

--------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, a win with a melee build! Some things to note:
Probably the single most important reason why I won was an onyx pack from a vault in levels 5-7. I used it on a red armor and never looked back until Dis, where I swapped it out for the more protective but short term Angelic Armor.
City of Skulls went very well actually. Only had to use one large med pack and one phase device. Vampyre held me through for the rest of the city, and it gave me skulls that really helped in...
...the Mortuary. With the skulls I took out some of the corpses and then charged in, took out an arch-vile who was literally right next to the entrance, then went and fought 2 more who were next to each other and who had already scored a legion of badness. But it was'nt too bad. Did'nt have to use a med-pack and my onyx modded red armor helped me through.
Lava pits? Thermonuclear bomb. I wanted insurance against the Spider Mastermind, though ultimately it did'nt make a tiny difference. And no, I did'nt get any more invulnerability, so even if I did'nt nuke the Lava Pits, I would not have been able to nuke the SM without dying myself.
The 8 missed kills? The 4 cacodemons in the Chained Vault and 4 enemies on level 3, among which were 2 former sergeants. At the time I only had a combat knife and no badass levels, so sergeants were pretty much THE most dangerous enemy to encounter at the time.

0.9.9.6 / [M|AoSh|98%|25|YASD/YAVP] You know what game? Close enough.

« on: May 21, 2012, 10:11 »

Angel of Shotgunnery. Twas a rough ride, but I somehow still made it to the SM. I had picked up an invulnerability sphere right before the stairs, so I nuked the SM and took on JC. And despite my best effors, his legion of Hell Knights, Barons and Revenants was too much to overcome...however, it still counts as a standard victory, thus YASD sharing YAVP.

I think my biggest mistake was trying to do Spider's Lair. It drained far too many of my resources to be worth it, and ultimately I think that's what killed me.
Also, I nuked level 22. I was honest to god on the space with a thermonuclear bomb when the nuke I placed exploded. Yeah, had I picked it up, I would have nuked JC.
Also, I didn't do Lava Pits because of my poor position: At that time I had zero med-packs.
Also, ranked up to Hell Baron rank.

My first AoLT run. I actually did very well with a melee build. This is actually the 1'st time I got past the level after the bruiser brothers with a melee build. This is also the 1'st time I beat both UC and the Mortuary. Sadly, I made a massive mistake by using the Angelic Armor instead of saving it for the SM. Long story short, it ended. Badly.

I got bored. So I loaded up DoomRL and decided, just for the heck of it to play Ao100. I only played Ao100 3 times before, and the furthest I've gotten was probably level 28, if I remember correctly. so when I got well past that, I was impressed with my progress, even if it is only on HNTR difficulty. But hey, you gotta start somewhere.

A few things of note:
I managed to get the 5 mancubi in melee kills needed to get to Mancubi rank.
I am a little dissapointed in the relative lack of special levels. What, no escape from lava? Or a cave full of nightmare arachnotrons? Are you going easy on me, game?
Plenty of former captains meant bullets were not a problem. I had actually almost switched to energy pistols, but after another encounter with former captains, I decided "Screw this, I'm using my trusty 10mm pistols, whether for better or worse!". It did me more good than bad in the long run.
I wanted to assemble lava boots, but couldn't find a technical mod pack before the end of the run.
A nice follow up to my first full victory. What's next? I don't know. Maybe I should try a few AoB runs to try and understand how a melee build works, then try for an AoLT. Any tips?
I used speedloader instead of the anti-freak jackal for one reason: The anti-freak jackal loses much of it's effectiveness due to much more powerful knockback making the remaining shots less accurate.

« on: May 12, 2012, 08:57 »

After a few unsuccesful AoB runs on HNTR, an AoSh HNTR run which ended with my face being melted by a former commando on Hell 1 and a few VERY uncussesful AoPc runs (Furthest was right past the Bruiser Brothers) (Really? I have to kill 5 mancubi in melee for the next rank-up?), I decided to do another AoMr HMP run, but this time, I wanted to get a full victory. And on my first try, despite a few rough bumps, I managed to succeed. Though I ended up nuking JC, but hey, a full victory = killing JC and surviving, even if said method is a nuke.

I actually scored 2 nano packs (One in Hell's Armory, another in another level). I made powered red armor and I had Malek's armor JUST in case.
The nanofiber armor? Actually a nanofiber medical armor. Long story short I got rid of it when I scored Malek's armor.
I never bothered with the Trigun, because I can't dual reload with it.
This is actually the 2'nd time I succesfully did Spider's Lair. The first time was during my AoSh run. However, this time I decided to do it because there was an invulnerability globe near the stairs. So I took advantage of it, and my reward was pretty much my second nuke.
Anti-Freak Jackal in the vaults. Because it otherwise works just like a regular pistol...need I say more? Also, it works wonders against otherwise royal pains that are Revenants.
Berserker armor in Lava pits. No, I have no idea what it does or how to equip it. Also, lava elemental I had to kill with only one pistol because of 100% Fire resistance on the Elemental's side.
Former complex? Harder than it looks because of Former Commando's. Also, invulnerability sphere near the stairs, which I used to nuke the SM, and then the lava element to nuke JC. (I intended to use the lava element for the SM and then fight JC with conventional means.)
And yes, this time I took SoG3 instead of Fin.

« on: May 10, 2012, 11:07 »

So, after my first run where a bullet shortage lead to my eventual downfall, I had 19 more runs, out of which only one really took off (As in, made it anywhere past CC+) and which ended in a way that maybe I should make a YASD post about it. However, today I started and took off pretty well. After succesfully taking out a demon-filled vault with minimal damage, that gave me the experience to really take off.

Maybe nuking level 23 was'nt necessary, but I did'nt want to chance having a repeat of my 1'st HMP run where I ran out of bullets in the Lava Pits.
Plasma shield allowed me to kill the SM without resorting to the lava element, but I still had it just in case.
Probably the biggest recurring problem I had was a shortage of med-packs. At Hell's Armory I had 7 large med-packs. By the time I beat the Cyberdemon I only had one. But I still pushed through with my reward being my first HMP win. Also, went low on bullets, but this time the 3 10mm ammo chains (Hell's Arena, Hell's Armory and the Vaults) kept me supplied.
Don't know what to do now. Still haven't completed AoSh on HNTR yet, so maybe I should do that.
