I'm thinking more special uses for it like the Vaults. I mean, that much work of going through the Arena and Chained Court just to enter an area a bit more easily that doesn't even guarantee anything terribly interesting anyway? Blerg.

Well, it's all up to the RNG. If you don't get a message indicating a Unique, maybe you shouldn't use it. On the other hand, there could be Exotics in there and you don't get a message.

I just noticed new death messages.

Dorten, Cacodeman 2nd Leutenant rode mancubus rocket!

About Vaults, apparently you have to deal a lot with randomness on this level regarding the loot :

Ah.. slightly mistimed it there. I did die, but on the upside I got a load of new badges for the first time (100% kills, conqueror, scavenger silver and gold), which is pretty good for my first 0.9.9.2 win. It was on "I'm too young to die", but I haven't played Doomrl for a while and wasn't doing too well on higher difficulty level. I also never ended up using the railgun, BFG, or planeshift armour and I wish I had used them, but ammochain A2P1T2 plasma rifles tend to destroy everything, and I lost track of what level I was on.

Ah.. slightly mistimed it there.

I TOLD you. I TOLD you.

It only makes you invincible for a short bit.

I warned you about the budget costs on the LE. I totally did. Ya should've used it when it was about to go out.

[BishopX]

So apparently nuking the cyberdeamon isn't good enough for a knives and fists only victory. At least not if you have an invul globe and fail at winning fully. I has a sad now.

At least not if you have an invul globe and fail at winning fully.

Last I checked, failing an attempt at a full win didn't ever count as a win of any sort (regardless of criteria).

[BishopX]

That's weird, I got the win text after I died.

And I won!  I really sucked at the hellgate and early in hell, but I pulled through.  There was not a single red armor in hell.  I saw two the whole game, one earlier on and one in hellgate I got destroyed.  Playing an Ultra-Violent game now because I've beat the game on easy, normal, and hard now.  Only normal in the new version though.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I've played so many damn games, and barely ever came close.  Then just on a whim, I fire up the new version, and get all up in the C'demon's grill without breaking a sweat.  Seriously, look at all that awesome shit I'm carrying.  I have a A2 Plasma Rifle that fired an effective eight shots per turn, with infinite ammo, and a regenerating BFG to boot.  Obviously, it's not the most efficient use of mods, but I play DoomRL by doing whatever feels like the best thing at the moment.  No looking back.  The closest I came to danger was the new revamped Chained Court, because I beat the arena and had to carve my way to the Master with no health or armor.

Of course, this is also one of very few times I've ever played on "Easy" Difficulty instead of "Hurt Me Plenty", which has a lot to do with everything.  And I still didn't get the best ending, even after going to the trouble of the Lava Pits, because there wasn't an Invulnerability Globe on the penultimate level like there's supposed to be.  Probably because of the difficulty level.  Oh well, at least I kicked ass in style.
