Welcome to the forum, and congratulations! I personally never understood the appeal of MMB, although the idea of not having to depend on berserk kicking in to be protected doesn't sound half bad. Guess I just didn't read through the description closely enough. Why didn't you go for P-modded chainswords though? Would have gone from 8D2 to 8D3 instead of 9D2. Bigger spread, but a better average damage... (I have to admit I had to look up B and P mod effects to be sure myself)

You know what, I think I'll save and shutdown instead. But thanks for this highly dubious piece of advice ;)

Post Mortem / [M|AoMC|89%|YAVP] Modest Progress

Ok, fueled mainly by Icy's progress reports, I've been reclaiming those badges I'd scored on my other machine. I really wanted to go for MSs AAo666, because:
1) Never finished it before
2) Lots of kills
3) Lots of stuff
4) Lots of assemblies
5) It's sharpshooter. It's a certifiable stealth death factory when backed up with INT2 and WK2. I may have mentioned I really love this trait one or two (hundred) times.
Unfortunately, this would require reaching 1st Lt. with 12 Silver to be harvested first. After my lucky Marksman run a month ago, I first bagged Centurial Silver (and Gold) on a Vampire build in three tries. I thought I was ready to try AoMC UV again, but after three attempts going belly-up early Deimos at best - Barons and my own sloppiness being my worst enemies - I decided to put that thought away again.
I went for Lightfoot Silver instead, which was as easy as I remembered it to be: Vampire build on HNTR, which additionally netted me the first three Reaper badges. Next up was Strongman Silver, picking up Heroic Silver on the fly with Sunrise Iron Fist and Malicious Knives, masterless build on ITYTD in a single attempt. Next was Speedrunner Silver, Scout chainsaw stairdive on HNTR in two tries. Needed only one more, so I thought I'd do Quartermaster Silver by the same tactics, but I forgot about the stair sense thing.
Back to AoMC then, but on HNTR this time:
Up until Hell, it went really well. Instead of aiming for Cateye, as I did on my UV attempts, I remembered MaiZure's words and went masterless this time. Dodgemaster would have saved my ass on the failed runs, so after INT 2 that was my first goal. Almost swallowed my tongue on the Anomaly, as my phase landed me up against the northern Bruiser's cubicle, in a position to just squeeze out one shotgun blast and run for cover. To my amazement, I cleared that one damageless.
Deimos came and went. Shambler tore me a couple of good ones, but nothing nearly scary. Went into the Spider's Lair and lightly soiled myself when the first Arachnotron managed to squeeze out a burst before my second F-modded chaingun volley could kill it. Turns out it was the only one that pulled it off. Between DM, the BFG and the cell pack, Cybie was a done deal.
Hell got real hairy real quick. Some bad decisions on my part, but a couple of levels put me in a pretty fearsome starting position, and I managed to draw a napalm barrel level among those as well. My attempts at a 100% killrate ended there, and I was starting to curse myself for not bringing the nuke I ran into somewhere on Deimos. I escaped to Hell 7 by way of the Lava Pits - just to wave at the stuff flying around there and be off again - and there was this huge acid river running through it north to south, no bridges. I slaughtered whatever was on my side, and luckily enough the stairs where close by to - although I still had a homing phase. There was a tracking map at hand as well, so while I was considering my options, I picked up. And lo and behold, hidden away in the corner of the map - again, at my side of the river - was the game's second nuke.
Thinking my luck had must've run out by now, I didn't even try to take on Spidey. Downstairs, big boom, done. So, 666 levels of grind, here I come!

Welcome on board! Thanks for introducing yourself, judging by those stats I'd say we've found another big fan indeed. Any other (individual) results you may want to share, please do so on the mortem board, unless you're aiming for a full documentary of your progress - like Icy is currently doing - in which case the discussion board isn't an unlikely place.
Have fun here, ask all the questions you need answers to to get ahead and keep us posted on your antics.

Cheers gents, this is proving useful already - 'specially Tormuse's bit. I assume discontinuing chainfire boils down to performing any action other than alt-fire?

Can anyone explain to me the art of chainfiring? I don't think I've ever experimented with that, and I'm currently trying UV AoMC, on which I suspect it may come in handy...

I never considered EE as a defensive skill. But then, offense being the best defense...
I think I'd go Cateye on this one. Maybe for my next attempt, since I successfully Vampyred my way through A100 yesterday.

"All I know is that the big guys have a secretary named Mary" she responds. "Hank went back to the office yesterday evening to finish some report. He was still out when I went to bed, which has happened before. And this morning I found this... this baloney lying on the kitchen table!" She gets worked up reliving today's bafflement, and the waterworks start flowing again. Intelligibility being suffocated in her sobs, she utters "H-h-h-he wuh-would ne-herver zjestabuh-buh-bandon me li-hi-hi-hike thiiiiiiiiiis!"

« on: September 18, 2017, 02:18 »1430 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
1238 of those were killed.
8 of those were killed by something unknown.
80 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 75 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
29 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
26 killed the bitch and survived.
2 showed that it can outsmart Hell itself.
My win/loss ratio is *abysmal*(29/1401, or ~0.02). The reason I tend to have fast games is that I play very quickly and impatiently, and while it sometimes produces results, it has its consequences. If DRL tracked average gamescore like XA does, I would be near the very bottom of that high score table, if not in fact dead last.
Yeah, that's exactly what I try to avoid. It's a completely useless behavior, but something I just seem to be unable to shrug off.

Thanks! I thought there was some penalty to INT as well, but I'm not sure. How would a melee build do in this challenge I wonder...
