The third one is weird, I mean even in your example an artificial race with a bunch of resistances, immunities and flight is "basic" but flying deep elves are "unusual".

I guess you can always do some mental gymnastics and say they're locked down in the vault so nobody can quaff them because in Crawl-verse potions are indestructible (except for lava, but there's no lava in holypan).

I think you're the guy who made the "remove" or "removed" account, right, the one with trashcan avatar? I don't think the mods here like joke/thematic accounts. I still miss BAD POST THANKER.

maybe it's an angle

dynast wrote:I NEVER said it was a bad thing

Well, when you put it like you did, it sounded very dismissive. If you didn't mean that, I apologize for interjecting.

everything else is just a boost Why is it a bad thing to have a boost for people who want it? Is Dodging a bad skill because all it does if giving you an EV boost? I actually don't know, maybe Dodging is a bad skill that is never worth training. I mean, I really don't know that. Either way, it's a ...

When i said to add a cooking skill the logic thing to assume is that the game would be balanced towards that, since you dont even have a cooking action atm, but you wouldnt assume that, because how else you gonna win the argument? What argument am I supposed to want to win? The cooking skill exampl...

You gotta eat, cook your food to get better nutrition, train cooking so you dont starve. It doesn't make sense in the game's system because there's plenty of never-spoiling rations in the game and you can eat raw meat without any ill effects. Fighting effect on HP is pretty easy to understand and i...

If it made sense within the game's systems, it wouldn't be a bad addition even if training it was never objectively an optimal decision.

What's wrong with that, though? There is no gameplay in Crawl except for decision-making. If you remove bad decisions, there's no game left, only a bunch of pixel art and literature quotes.

Gozag can give you brilliance and magic pots, so your wish is kind of granted.

What is an "oh the player is standing between a potion and a grate with some gold behind it" moment?

Because "High Dwarves" is a funny name.

His protection should just go back to 100%.

well, you can safely rebrand it at least

COME ON GUYS IT'S 2017

It's still armour, and people confuse it with actual plate armour occasionally, you sometimes see frog helmets in video games that don't even feature jousting. But mostly, I wanted to be a smartass.

The "new mutations incoming" part kind of made me excited, I won't lie.

Counterpoint: jousting armour.

The following weapons also have synergy with Chei: axes, because they allow you to hit everything around you (less repositioning) and you have good defenses; long blades, because they allow you to attack while moving and you have good EV; forms, because of Cheistats; arguably, short blades because o...

who would want to be the kind of person who posts things about video games on the internet??

and yet here we are

I saw this thread was resurrected and my first thought was "must shill Brigador here because why not". Damn you, Shard1697!

Anyway, it's a pretty cool game if you're into isometric shooters/"realistic mecha"/sci-fi tanks or something.

wait wtf I thought this was a joke but apparently scarves are real now

Summon Demon is pretty amazing IMO, sure you get some hostile ones occasionally but then you just tele out. I love Su and I'd be excited to see SD in the starting book. Why am I wrong?

Well, it's probably quite slow with 0 skill.

Eh, Xom isn't that bad, really. On a strong race, anyway. I think a TrCK was like my seventh win? But yeah, that's a Troll for you.

Some races are much better than other races for starting as a melee character with a bad weapon and then surviving Xom's wrath.

Trolls.

MR- is kind of not very good IMO.

??? The sources of Haste removed were the ones mummies could use. The change impacted Humans too, of course, but it did impact Mummies much more strongly.

Trog relies on allies as well, just not permanent ones.

VeryAngryFelid wrote:Is it just a time killer like tetris?

yes it's a video game

Seraph can summon holy allies and I think it can buff them as well.

duvessa wrote:evilmike was a level designer for Ori and the Blind Forest, btw.

Huh.

The character you posted would be much stronger if some of that Shields XP was put into Evocations and if you hoarded those boxes and sacks.

Treeform bad effects isn't really meant to kill you while blind quaffing as much as to add a serious tactical drawback to a very strong effect.

Treeform isn't a bad option.

I'm not sure Iji can be called a "metroidvania", there's ten levels and you can't return to the cleared ones. The later levels can get pretty expansive, though. Also, version 1.7 soon!

I never fight Yiuf now that he has those new lines when you have the orb

every time he spawns it's my topmost priority to get him out of the dungeon alive on the orbrun

I understood this reference.

I don't know what these numbers mean. It feels accurate enough when there's a lot of hashes, and it's only level 5 so it's not too hard to get a lot of those. But I only really used it on stuff like TeAE, where you have a really good aptitude and can just get lots of Int and zap everything to death.

High-power lightning bolt feels pretty damn accurate to me.

imo "walk back to your shroom bros and let them kill whatever bothers you" is a pretty good panic button

I assume it was designed to be awful after D:2, too bad that's not communicated in the game very well. Could've saved Sandman some time!
