[Heavy Maps] Nine Ghostly Levels - Test your agility Yeahhh!!

Hi Doomers :D

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

Attention: this is a WAD with a very high difficulty.

If you don't like this kind of difficulty, I recommend playing it easy.

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

Only 9 levels, the intention is to see how much they have of skill when playing doom, they will need a very high skill and a reading of very good game.

The difficulty is based on agility, infigthing and saving ammunition.

Levels are short, but very intense in battles (not suitable for claustrophobes)

(V0.7) Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/56m9tlhd453hcgw/GhostLevel_Doomworld.zip/file

Below is a brief summary of the difficulty.

-> UV (Very Hard) = 100%
-> HMP (Medium) = 50%
-> HNTR (Easy)   = 30%

I hope you have fun and sorry for my English

*** if you come across any problems let me know ***

I am working on one that is not slaughter map. I highlight the difficulty in UV very much. in the others it is not so complicated

Looks interesting, might have to give it a try sometime soon. You might want to credit some people cause those mugshots look like they were from Mordeth.

I forgot to indicate the red key D": I had to give it more lighting

@GhostPlayer so there it is...i have been there but it was to dark..could not see it. Maybe ill give it a try tomorrow.

Played the first map, and it is indeed pretty hard. Although there was nowhere near enough health for it to be fun, in my opinion. To get out of the first room alone, you have to fight a cyber, around 15 barons, 10 chaingunners, 3 or 4 archviles, and a handful of revenants in an incredibly tight space. And what health do you get? 1 medikit. Also it seems there's some essential items are hidden in secrets, meaning if you don't find the secrets you're absolutely screwed, which I don't like. Seriously I looked in the editor and there's like 4 megaspheres hidden in secrets. I get you want to make it really hard and that's fine, but if you want them to be more fun you should probably make the secrets a little less overpowered. It also looks like finding no secrets means you have to play the whole first half of the map with only 1 medikit and some health bonuses.

And again, this is just personal preference, I get that people like maps to be this kind of hard, but personally, I don't want to play a map where I have to find all the secrets to be able to play it. Honestly it's kind of a shame because this looks like the kind of map I would love, it's just I'm not willing to RNG my way through the first room with only a medikit. Simply adding a megasphere in the first room would probably make it miles better.

Also you should probably put in the OP that it's ZDoom compatible.

Excellent observation. I concentrated on making it difficult but didn't pay attention to it. I have to correct those things. So I wanted people to fence me in making corrections to keep it balanced.

I will edit those problems and re-edit it to make it more pleasant

Okay. And again, don't feel forced. If you want to keep it that brutal, don't let one person's feedback change your mind.

The screenshots look great !, I'm going to play it as soon as I can, good job!

The problem is that my game mode little understand it. I want to learn to balance the levels well. Although I like the levels in this way, I have to make it passable for other people as well, for that I have to learn and listen to opinions. But to be honest, some levels are masochistic,
and that to grab if or if the secrets the truth is annoying xD

So thanks for the comment :"D

PD: I was guided by the difficulty of the chillax. But not so extreme (plis google traductor)

Fix some bugs in the maps, relocate monsters and balance ammo and hp

I already modified the wad and replaced the link with the current one.

Thanks @Arbys550 for the recommendation. 

Thanks @Austinado for showing me about the red key

PD: Notify if they find another problem at the textures or bugs level
