Post Mortem / Re: [0.8.7|U|Sc|13|YAAM] Boom! Headshot
« on: Yesterday at 16:22 »
Hey, nifty!  I haven't tried a pistol build so far, but I guess it's more effective than I realized!  (That's a lot of power mods!)  :o  Very nice win indeed!  :D

Now I'm wondering when we're going to see an Angel of Marksmanship challenge added.  :)

To be completely honest, I kept forgetting that I had the option of using grenades.  :P  In this game, I used a frag grenade once, just to get rid of one, because I saw an extra one, and I used a smoke grenade at one point to escape a sticky situation.  In other games, I've used Krak grenades on CRI bots, but this time, I made a conscious choice to save those for the Summoner.

Generally speaking, I guess I most frequently use the smoke grenades for getting myself out of tough spots, but in this game, I mostly used the Scout's stealth ability for that.  (The armour I was wearing had the "camoboost" ability, which aided in escapes)

Also, this is a reminder that I've been terrible at giving feedback.  I've been taking notes as I play, for the last few versions, but haven't actually shared it.  I'll have to post it on the Steam forum some time today.

Post Mortem / [0.8.7|U|AoD|Sc|14|YAAM] Angel of running around (Doomed Gold Badge)

I now have one UV victory as each character class.  Yay!  :D

Angel of Doom makes for a very different strategy than normal.  Instead of seeking cover, it encourages you to run around a lot, partly to try to keep one enemy in view at a time, and partly to maximize the damage bonus you get from having a high dodge rating.  The Scout was the natural choice, since he gets access to Hellrunner, Dodgemaster, and Running traits.  Toward the end of the game, I was getting so many damage bonuses, I was even able to take out Armored Ravagers with a single rocket each!  :)

That advanced shotgun you see was a fantastic find.  It had increased damage, autoloader, and cold damage, and I increased the damage further with a power mod and firing speed with an accuracy mod.  I kept it around specifically to deal with the Summoner at the end.  I could fire at him to slow him down with the cold effect, then take a step away to simultaneously reload and reinforce my dodge bonus.  (And therefore damage bonus)

I feel a bit silly that I kept all those grenades around "just in case," but didn't end up using them, except for a single Krak grenade at the beginning of the Summoner fight to strip away his armour.  Oh well...  :)

EDIT:  Oh yeah, one other thing I noticed...  AoD seems to block you from hitting enemies outside of your visual range.  I couldn't use my usual strategy of shooting turrets that couldn't see me.  (I was emptying clip after clip after clip into them while doing zero damage)  The only exception was the rocket launcher's splash damage, so that became a very important weapon in late game.

Cool, I've been going back and forth between Scout and Technician for exactly those reasons, but yeah, the ability to hack stuff now should help this challenge.

Yeah, Scavengers can be troublesome.  :)  I wrote a mini guide for BerserkRL a while back that might help you out.  It's a game with unique gameplay that has it's own interesting set of challenges.

Berserk! / Re: Highest Berserk Killcount
« on: January 13, 2020, 02:33 »
It was this game here.  :)  Fix the bugs, so I can't do that, Kornel!  :P

My first theory was that the crashes are related to simply having too many creatures on the map at the same time, but in the above linked game, the crashes eventually started happening consistently every time at the end when the Demon spawned, even if I cleared swaths of enemies with bombs and cannon fire beforehand.

Berserk! / [0.8.5|Endless|16|YASD] Very avoidable death
« on: January 12, 2020, 10:19 »
I still play this game once in a while, and this run was going really well, up until I died very suddenly, in what I'm sure was a very avoidable way.  I guess I neglected to check my hit points; I thought they were at 15, and I was berserk, so I should have been taking reduced damage, so I was not expecting to get killed by a Wraith, but I guess my hp were lower than I thought.  I had four Fairydust, so there was no reason not to heal myself; I was just careless.  :(

Oh well...  I decided it was good enough to post anyway.  :)

Bug Reports / Re: Crash when trying out my graphics card
« on: January 04, 2020, 21:06 »
Okay, I was just playing with Vulkan turned on again and it crashed...  at a very unfortunate time.  :(  I was playing UV Angel of Shotgunnery, and had just conquered Callisto Anomaly, and I was in the middle of picking up my rewards, which included an auto-shotgun with increased damage, autoloader, and vampiric, and there was also a freakin' shotgun damage amp!  :o  (Friggin' lucky drop for AoSh, eh?)  Needless to say, this was a pretty upsetting time for it to crash, since it wiped out the saved game, especially since this is the furthest I've gotten at this difficulty level in this challenge.  :(  (I had 100% kill rate up 'til that point too)

Hmph!

Nice win!  :D  Sharpshooter has a reputation as the best pistol master trait, but Gun Kata will always have a place in my heart for the Equilibrium connection.  :)

Quote from: rchandra on January 01, 2020, 21:40
Limbo felt very tempting...

I admit that I have a hard time imagining Limbo being tempting in an AoMr game.  :P  I mean I did it once, but it was really rough, and I wouldn't have survived, if not for the Nanomachic pistol.  With your build and equipment, I think you made the right choice in staying out of there.

I'm pretty sure I found a plasma shotgun, but sticking with the arsenal I had was preferable anyway.  Closing to 100% range of an Archreaver when there's no cover would have been a sure way to die.
