Grain of Salt Posted June 5, 2014 Does it bump you up to green armor protection level? Does it give you the same protection as 0 armor? Neither of those things? Really, I should know this, but for some reason I don't. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted June 5, 2014 It's green armour, so 33% damage reduction. Of course, it won't make much of a practical difference if you do only have 1% armour, merely serving as one extra hitpoint if you take 3 damage or more. If you do have blue armour already, then the bonuses stay at 50% damage reduction until you hit 0% armour. 0 Share this post Link to post
ASD Posted June 5, 2014 While Megasphere is worth blue armor, I just figured out why it's (partly) named so; Megaarmor+Soulsphere. 0 Share this post Link to post

scifista42 Posted June 5, 2014 Megasphere actually has the same effect like picking up a megaarmor and 2 soulspheres at once. :p Yeah, the wordplay is nice and I have never noticed it, good find. 0 Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted June 5, 2014 Bullshit, megasphere is not megaarmor + soulsphere, it's megaarmor + 200 hp and there is no item for 200 hp. So it's probably not really a wordplay. 0 Share this post Link to post

It might or might not be an intentional wordplay by the creators of Doom, we never know. 0 Share this post Link to post

peach freak Posted June 5, 2014 Speaking of armor, how is damage calculated when decimals are involved? Like if you had 1/3 protection on a 20% attack, 1/3 of 20 is 6-2/3 (armor you would lose) and 2/3 is 13-1/3 (health you would lose). Would the armor actually get rounded down to 6 and make your health/armor loss spread 14/6 as opposed to 13/7? Another example is 1/3 protection from a 25% attack. A third of 25 is 8-1/3 while two-thirds of 25 is 16-2/3. Would the damage be rounded up to 17, making the health/armor loss spread 17/8? Does Doom, when it has these situations, always just round up the health value to the next number? 0 Share this post Link to post
