You have a +3 broad axe of electrocution, and find a Hydra on L:2. Thinking you can out-damage his head-spawning, you take a few swings, and realize you aren't doing enough damage. Sooo... you berserk, and with new confidence, continue your hydra decapitation-fest. But after a few more swings, and 1...

Portals are not guaranteed, perhaps you can think of this as just another bad roll on portal generation? It's kinda like the vanishing shops (mimics). Also, there are times when the pc entering the portal actually was the means (might, haste, wand, weapon, etc) to actually defeat the ghost, which is...

What does this thread have to do with coins?

I think 4 hours is probably pretty normal, I was checking my recent 15-runers, and they're all under 4 as well. Anyone with Sequell-fu able to figure out the top-10 fastest 15-runers from the last couple versions?

How do people manage to die to pearl dragon? He doesn't even do anything. And when you meet him in Pan your char is usually near max level, at that time any dragon is harmless anyway. 38 games for * (killer='pearl dragon' recent): 29x Zig, 6x Depths, 3x Pan http://i.imgur.com/dbZnkHB.png Did he died?

So if your play-style is reckless (nothing really wrong with that), you have to accept that if you play squishy characters, your chance of losing is going to be much greater. Fast play is fun, and certain races work better for that, those typically with good defence aptitudes/capabilities (gargoyles...

Make banishing TRJ, either by the AK skill or by hitting with a distortion weapon, turn the walls on Abyss:5 (or wherever he ends up) to Slime walls (i.e., turn the walls from stone to acidic).

Banishing an enemy is in general effectively a cheap tactic to avoid fighting them.

At that point I might consider worshipping Sif.

Tier 3: http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/ ... 052756.txt

Pretty straightforward game with oka/UC, almost felt like cheating. The tier "challenges" are pretty much a no-op since ghouls are much better at melee than spellcasting.

Think I got all the tiers.

Since this is GDD, I suppose it merits a serious reply. This sounds like an early-dungeon version of Rupert. Rupert is perhaps the most threatening unique that can be generated in Lair. Edmund typically shows up at DL:2 I think, if not, it's still pretty shallow. Players at these early dungeon level...

Always kill the ironbrand convokers last, since they do you the favor of bringing the monsters to you, saving you the pain of wasting turns hunting them down. Similarly, let the sentinels mark you for the same reason.

Usually there's a post-mortem on the tournament which lists stats and unusual feats, is this in the works?

I think you just have to tell FooTv to replay that other part of the level instead of being centered on the player.

Yes. I find myself never using faith with Vehumet for this very reason. I also find myself over-training spellcasting to make room for gifts.

So approximately what blowgun skill will one need now to get the former effectiveness?

Why did you post this in CYC and not GDD?

OR, just make all zig loot ID'ed by default.

Hate to be a pooper, but frankly, learndb should really not be a place for jokes, either overt, or worse, inside ones. When new players want to look something up, and find these things, it makes for an unpleasant experience. LearnDB is a real mess, but amazingly it's still useful. I'd personally lov...

Yah man, bolts of firestorm would be sweet too!

What happened to the black sheep btw ... I haven't seen that in ages!

What may be a more useful metric that what was cast, would be what spells were actually memorized, and cast at least once. Spells like magic dart will be cast quite often, as it is a primary damage dealer for conjurers in the early-game. Spells like blink, regeneration, repel missiles, improved fire...

totally automatable: 1) Go here: https://github.com/crawl/sequell/blob/master/config/sources.yml 2) pick a server like cao, and grab its logfile: wget http://crawl.akrasiac.org/logfile-git 3) Pick however many lines you want out of it, and create morgue links, the morgue path is in the yaml file abo...

This is terrific, and could be extended to RL too:

- God dares you to complete a branch using only your left-hand for typing
- God dares you to complete the level with a mouth-full of sriracha
- God dares you to complete a portal branch with your monitor turned upside down

possibilities are endless!

This vault was extremely rare as it was (I have only seen it once), and it both unique and interesting. For those who haven't seen it, or can't read ...

Doesn't Ru have an ability like this?

better than that, you should be able (possible from a submenu of the skills menu) see all of the AC/EV splitpoints for your character relative to your Dodging/Armor future values given your currently worn equipment. That would be super-useful. I'd know that if I just trained another .1 of Armor, I'd...

wow, I had no idea people played this game with a mouse...

HuFe of Vehumet is the easier path imo. Reason being that the starting book for a fire elementalist has spells that can take you through most of the game. I would personally choose DE for the apts, but they're squishy, and until you're comfortable with this strategy, use a more resilient race, like ...

Well, Juggernauts were already rare enough, that I don't see why this is really necessary. They were a novel threat, and actually made me slow down and think a bit about how to approach them. Hope they're still formidably dangerous after this change.

Hi, I'm in the midst of a game right now, and have been to 30 pan levels, and a unique lord (like Lom Lobon et al) has yet to generate. Dump is here: http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/moose/moose.txt , though that link is transient. What are the odds of a guaranteed rune-lord level generating? 30 levels w...

You don't need Makhleb, you don't need haste. Worship Vehumet, and get Firestorm or Glaciate online, and start dumping everything into Air, and get tornado online as you skill your Zig. Ideally, you'd have Firestorm, Glaciate, and Tornado all at <8%. Get a staff of energy. When you enter a zig, move...

There's actually a pinned thread for this kind of thing. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=100

You must not mind dying a lot.

How does one enable the hybrid mode in the webtiles UI? That looks incredible?

+1 to not doing this.

I find the abilities popup super annoying right now, and with spells, it would be even more ridiculous.

If users feel they need this, make it an option, but please don't foist it on the rest of us!

How is it that anyone finds the term "pussy" so offensive? If I understand correctly, it's comparing someone to a female cat, which (supposedly) is meek and timid. I find it a bit trigger-happy on the modding here. oh my god it's a vagina. don't try to tip-toe around this by acting ignora...

Quite an unfortunate situation. When I found this out, it was strange, I had nodesire to keep playing my current char, and I pretty much suicided it out of apathy. Now, I'm done with the tournament, people are still having fun, which is great. The statistics for the tourney are relatively meaningles...

nems are running low!

Sounds intense... Interactions like this make the game very fun, and working your way through them is the excercise that turns ordinary players into great ones.

Maybe this is a case of "who moved my cheese", but I'm not digging the new http://crawl.develz.org. When I go to that page, it's typically for one of two reasons: either to see the latest "news" (I really like pleasing fungus's update summaries), or to hit one of the links to the...

Now that the server milestone criers only report late-game milestones, is there a chance we could get a dedicated IRC channel where ALL milestones are broadcast? There are still many of us who like to see the spam. Ideally if this were now done, we could report on anything that actually creates a mi...
