There have been some fixups over the years, but the underlying issue with webtiles is still there as can be witnessed by ranged characters being a genuine pain in the butt to play due to the quickly increasing lag. It was a bit late, but if I had wanted to go for a Sooper Dooper Pooper Scooper recor...

Abyss is easier than shoals, so if I have the choice I usually just skip shoals and do abyss instead and go straight to murdering vaults. If you get swamp instead of shoals then go ahead and get abyss as a third in depths; there's more than enough loot down there anyhow. (And if your resists aren't ...

The only thing I would do to Monk would be putting the two points in stealth into fighting and unarmed. Let's see you call a monk with 4 fighting and 5 unarmed a bad start. The first two skill levels cost a LOT less than the fourth and fifth. You're not really "putting the two points in stealt...

The interesting thing is, if we take away the bad parts of that ring, and keep only the good ones... a - [Bazaar] the ring of the Sun {+Blink Str+10} (35 gold) ...you still would not want to wear it. you do realize that +10 str is basically +5 slaying that also lets you wear heavy armor right

I suppose a berserk potion could accomplish the same thing. Not really, since the HP runs out very fast if you're not fighting things - which usually sinks your HP more than berserk helps. unless of course the poison is going to reduce you to 0 or -1 hp, in which case it'll probably help you get ou...

also demonstrates exactly why chei is so good OK, I'll bite. How do you use Chei while speedrunning? Chei massively increases your power level compared to the amount of experience you have racked in.

It's actually not entirely easy to do, since unarmed is kind of weird, but eventually I'll get there.

If anyone is wondering what this is, then it's basically fsim without support for weapon brands and funky effects - so in actuality it's fsim for good, plain old melee. Except unlike fsim, you can dissect all the sweet funky details - and change the formulas (it's quite easy) and immediately see the...

Well yeah, the category was already pretty much secretly "who's the biggest ziggurat farmer of them all?". nor should it matter for game design. Cf. speed runs (time or turncount), etc. speedrunning exists because score exists if you didn't want the players to complete the game in low amou...

I need to check the logs, but I think there might have been some reason beside flavor why hydra-form devouring is limited by monster size.

You can actually see why might is so good here:

Don't look at me, I'm just sleep deprived as fuck and yet somehow managed to churn out a 6-win streak in 14 hours.

Of course it then hits me just how sleep deprived I was after 23 hours on 6 hours of sleep after 24 hours of uptime the previous day and then I manage to end the streak on a DDBe.

It wouldn't take many days since the damage bonus of might is actually quire noticeable.

The reason they are as stupid as they are now is so that they aren't annoying little fuckers (see: orb spiders) that kite the shit out of you and are generally very unpleasant to fight. You still want to minimize the amount of fire you take, but at least you can actually do something more than get k...

rip in pepperoni ;-; Same death as two of my best characters.

It helps, but honestly then there's not that much of a difference with Mi^Chei; I barely noticed a difference except for the fact that hell sentinels were dying very easily. (yeah it's that ridiculously strong)

It's a combination of generally playing really fast (ugh inventory management) and using some turncount speedrunning know-how to skip a good portion of the game that is not important for the character you're playing to have a chance at winning.

My win rate went from something like 1/8000 to 1/10. I thought either I had finally figured out crawl or VS bite is really, really good. Oh well. The VS bite (and likely all the other auxiliaries) was not affected by the double damage bug, in case you're wondering. And no, I didn't notice this bug ...

Yep, damage got fucked by that commit.
Which would explain why I was two-shotting hell sentinels on the MiFE I won, since I found it quite unusual to be that strong.

fuck apparently it's also the #2 fastest realtime 15-rune win

le_nerd wrote:Why the limitation on the trowel card for bazaars? Its already possible to get more than one in a single game (timed+untimed), although exceedingly rare.

You can actually get multiple timed bazaars throughout the game, so it's not necessarily only through the timed + unannounced/untimed combo.

The stats actually update rather rapidly, unless the fetching has hiccuped and needs to be restarted.

You are a VS using a quickblade with the sum of your str/dex being 44, which means that your bite should trigger on 44 out of 49 attacks. Slaying would be worth much, much more than 5 measly AC.

I would wear it if I had enough resistances to still be at a decent level without the GDA I usually wear.

but that's mostly because i pump str and play chei melee characters most of the time

Thanks, it's nice to have one of the absolute fastest turncount wins and one of the absolute fastest realtime wins.

Well currently crawl rewards "boring, tedious behavior" much more than it would without monsters spawning and faster hp/mp regen, since you can get far more experience out of waiting for all the OOD spawns to spawn than hunting down the very last monsters on the floor that might not even b...

I'm not sure why so much accounting for people being silly is required. The punishment for pudding farming is pudding farming, the punishment for exp farming is exp farming.

Using a scroll of fear would've probably helped not dying, hm.

That part is explained by Chei making you much stronger for the amount of experience you have than you otherwise would be, which means that you can explore and kill less to win faster. Unfortunately it also means that you have to find an altar instead of going the easy way and starting with Trog. an...
