[Module] Angel of Patience

[General Patton]

Died while standing on the teleporter. Seems like undesired behavior to me. Was planning on power modding my nanofiber red armor and getting agility modded tactical boots. Next seven levels would likely have been EE2, Int2, HR2, DM.

Quite high, actually.

As a side note, the scaling on difficulties above HNTR is utterly broken. Those should not be attempted unless you're suicidal. I'm going to fix that eventually.

[Deathwind]

The scaling on HNTR can be quite evil too, I've seen barons as early as wave 5...

------merging double post------

I just made it to 13 on HNTR. Revenants are just evil...

I think melee needs a bit of a retune...

Any complaints if I repost this to the mortem board?

[Simon-v]

Congratulations! I have updated the ladder with the new results.

Any complaints if I repost this to the mortem board?

Of course not.

[Bloax]

I think you made a mistake there, you wrote HNTR, but the mortem says "He wasn't afraid to be hurt plenty."
Which means HMP, for all I know. ):o

* Simon-v tilts head

* Simon-v blinks

O.o

* Simon-v fixes

(MVm must've helped a lot, because it took him three times less turns to finish it than it took me.)

[Deathwind]

The only reason I was on HMP was for practice for HNTR, I just got lucky

MVm gives alot of hp and zerk. The hp means I don't need to sit and recharge and the double melee damage and high brute bonuses were essential to kill those late game mobs. In all honesty I think I would have died much earlier if i didn't get Malek's Armor as it give a great speed boost and essential resistances. I spent most of the game charging from target to target in the center of the map letting friendly fire thin out the ranks. I'll try a proper pistol run next.

Who do I see about my T-shirt and eternal worship?

[shark20061]

[Deathwind]

thank you

[Ander Hammer]

hooray!


...


kinda laggy, at least with graphic tiles on. it starts small and goes up pretty fast.

[Simon-v]

I would like to congratulate shark20061 for the well-done porting job.

With what, shallow code review showed that the scaling on later rounds on high difficulties is going to produce undefined behavior due to monsters' maxLev being lower than the expected difficulty-adjusted depth; In addition, slight playtesting showed that winning on N! is still virtually impossible, mostly due to respawning.

I'm going to get to fixing the issues, eventually.
