Ok, thanks.

I'm on D6, I have 7 in axes with a war axe of chopping and I've just found a vampiric scimitar and I have 0 in long blades. Should I make the switch? I'm with Trog if that makes a difference.

http://crawl.xtahua.com/crawl/morgue/Oddysee/morgue-Oddysee-20150724-211732.txt Yep, after 3 years of playing on and off, I finally got my first win and it may sound dumb but I'm ecstatic right now, really, really happy. The run went amazingly well, I got some great gear too. I got the vamp mornings...

I just went to look at the DCSS subreddit and apparently, it's now private. Anyone know why?

Edit: Ok, I now know why, some sort of idiotic protest by the mods.

Well, I'm an idiot. I was going to enchant up the eveningstar and ended up using the wrong scroll and rebranded it instead. It got the flaming brand, I then used the other brand scroll I had, hoping to get vamp back but it was freezing. So, the question is, do I still use the eveningstar, go with th...

Ok, that's good enough for me. I'll stick with the eveningstar, thanks guys.

I was in Orc:3 and Oka gifted me a nice demon Whip of Draining. I also have 2 scrolls of brand weapon. I don't know whether to keep the draining brand or try and get a flat damage brand on it. Thoughts anyone?

I should probably also mention I'm using a +2 vampiric eveningstar at the moment.

I've annoyingly forgotten my password aswell, a reset would be appreciated.

For a long time, I stuck to a specific dive order (the order in which I go though the dungeon and branches) . But then 0.14 came along and changed things up and now 0.15 is here, my dive order is severely out of date. Can anyone give me a new one please? For a 3 rune run if that makes any difference...

I was thinking about it and although my method of simply putting the whole directory in dropbox works, I think your solution may be a better one, can you elaborate please?

Thanks guys, very helpful. Yeah, all I've done is put "tile_full_screen = true" at the bottom in the init file.

In fact, these questions are probably quite simple and may be even a little stupid but here goes: 1. I play Crawl on both a laptop and netbook and would like to use Dropbox to sync offline games between the two. I assume I can just put the entire Crawl folder (I use the zip version) into my dropbox ...

At my last job, they used PuTTY as an interface for their warehouse/inventory system. I used to play crawl online under the premise that I was going over inventory all the time. Even when people looked over my shoulder, they usually couldn't tell I was playing a game. Sometimes people thought I was...

LOL, great reply.

When I bought my netbook one of the first things I did on it was play Crawl. Because a netbook is so portable, it’s allowed me to play Crawl virtually anywhere. Recently, I was stuck in a bad traffic jam on my way home from work. The cars were at a stand still so I decided to pull out my netbook and...

I've subbed in anticipation of the forthcoming vids. I'm looking forward to watching them, hopefuly, I'll learn a thing or two.

I would love to see a MuFi run or any build where you go with Fedhas. As for the version, I don't mind Tiles or Console, I play both anyway.

Ah ok, I thought as much, thanks guys.

A simple question really. I recently bought a netbook and one of the first things I wanted to do on it is play DCSS. Tiles runs pretty well but the text area that is usually at the bottom of the play area is now at the top of it. Is that simply to compensate for the weird resolution (1024x600) of ne...

Ah ok. Well I didn't create an account on CSZO because I thought one account pertained to all servers. Does that apply to CAO and CDO too? I ask because I created my account on CAO and I'm sure i was able to use the same one on CDO.

Ok just tried to connect to CDO and it doesn't seem to accept the authenication key. After that, I tried connecting to CSZO for the first time ever. I can connect fine but it doesn't seem to accept my username. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Ah ok, thanks very muxh guys. Just logged into CDO without any problems. As I've only ever played on CAO, do I have to create a new login for CDO?

EDIT: Just found that I use the login I already have.

I haven't played online in quite a while and I just tried to get on it. When I try and load it up via putty, it says that the server (CAO) refused the key. Even when I don't use the key and try and type "joshua" it still denies me access. Can anyone tell me what's going on please?

Thanks.

Hi there. I was previously playing DDSS on another computer. The resolution on that one was 800x600 and Crawl always started in fullscreen. However, recently I've been playing on another computer. The resoultion on that one is 1280x800 and Crawl always starts in a window. Can anyone tell me how to m...

Thanks guys. Well, it was fun to play a MiFi of Jiyva. However, he died not long after I posted. Due to a unique that was summoning Orange Demons that just so happened to be with 2 Orc Priests (damn Smite!). I liked being with Jiyva though, I got piety extremely quickly, I was 5* piety by D:9 and th...

Ok thanks. I'll go with Jiyva.

Ok, I just started a MiFi and I'm playing the latest trunk. I was very suprised to see an altar to Jiyva on D:3 considering I thought that particular altar only shows up in the Slime Pits (which I've never been to before). I have never worshipped Jiyva before (never even seen the altar before) so sh...

Well I died on floor 5 of the Crypt. I am very annoyed because this death (like almost all others) was completely avoidable. I was getting cocky, had low health and didn't bother to heal and ended up getting killed by reflected damage... I really was getting over confident. I was killing things very...

Thanks. Well, I have just cleared Orc and in so doing, this has become my best run ever so far. I'm almost at 8 Innvocations (I'll probably get it up to 10)

Where to next I wonder?

I'm playing a MiFi at the moment. I was very pleased to get a +0 +4 ring of slaying. However, I was positively overjoyed just now when I also found a +4 +6 ring of slaying. Will their effects stack if I wear both?

Thanks guys. I'll stick with the GSC then but I'll still keep the antimagic flail for casters.

Unforunately, I haven't found any cure mutation potions yet but as soon as I do, I'll quaff it.

At the moment I'm playing an Ogre Berzerker, its going pretty well so far except for a blurry vision mutation that's quite annoying. Anyway, I have been using a Giant Spiked Club (which I hear everyone mention when it comes to ogres). However, I just got a god gift which was a +6 +2 antimagic Dire f...

As you may have guessed, I'm not talking about the Vaults branch. I would like to know what people mean by a "vault" which (as far as I can tell) can occur anywhere in the dungeon.

Even though I've been playing DCSS for some time now, I have never been under penance of my god before. I was doing ok on a MiFi of Oka (had 4 or 5 * piety with him) when a very unlucky turn of events happened: I read a scroll to ID it. It was a scroll of unholy creation, a friendly Small Abominatio...

Thanks. I'm curious as to what the error effects in-game?

EDIT: I just saw your edit lol

Sorry forgot to mention race. It's a Mi so the axe it is then. Thanks.

I just found these two weapons on D:4.

+2,+3 orcish mace of crushing
+5,+10 hand axe "Wigan" {slay orc, +Lev}

I'm at 7 Maces & Flails and 0 Axes. Which weapon would be best to use?

Now I feel dumb. Thank you very much. One more thing, I started playing, then saved and exited and when I continued that game this message came up: Lua error: Can't find "lua/pickup.lua"

Any ideas?

Well, I have never played online before so I thought I would give it a try. I downloaded the .zip of Putty, did all the config stuff and connected to CAO via SSH. It was all going well, I chose the new user option put in a user name but when I am prompted for a password, I can't type anything. At th...

Thanks very much. By "caster", I simply mean any character that uses spells as the primary method of dealing damage I guess. As for hybrids, I have never played one, I wouldn't even know where to begin. Ever since I started playing, I've always gone pure melee or pure caster. I will try a ...

Well, I don't play many casters and when I do, I'm not really sure what skills to train from one moment to the next. I just started a Spriggan Wizard and I'm not sure how to go about training. Any advice would be great on skills to train and god to go with. Anything that will give me the easiest tim...

Can you elaborate please? I assume you can only do that with the Installer version?

Thanks very much.

Ever since I recently started playing trunk, I have been downloading and playing a new trunk version every couple of days. Evertime I do this however, I lose my list of highscores. Is it possible to import them from one version to the next? Perhaps by simply copy/paste the file that has the data int...

Ok thanks. I've noticed that the inventory lines up items in a different order. Even that is gonna take getting used to.

Ok, I never play trunk, just the stable releases. However, when I heard about the highscores feature, I had to try it out. It's very good.

For this reason, I want to continue to play trunk. Therefore, can anyone tell me how stable to current trunk is? Can I continue playing it without problems?

Heh, believe me, I tried to run. But I was, at that point, completely surrounded. About the rings, I just didn't even think to put them on. Over confidence kicked in after I was able to tab almost the entire Lair and the first 3 floors of the Orcish Mines. Over confidence is indeed a killer in Crawl.

Is there anyway to see your highscores (playing offline) apart from just after you die?

Thanks. Well I was doing fine In the Orcish Mines. I got to Orc:4 which was quite a bit more difficult but still fine. Then I suddenly get banished by a lone Ogre Mage and quickly get murdered by a massive horde of nasties while frantically trying to escape the Abyss. Any advice if I get banished on...
