Gosh speaking of random minigames in the middle of roguelikes wouldn't it be something if in Crawl there was a level (maybe, I dunno, you get in from a fourth up staircase) and inside there were like some predetermined levels of that Japanese warehouse game with the box pushing, and at the end there...

It's been said several times already but it bears repeating- you should try going fedhas and seeing how you like it. Make approximately a billion mushrooms. The fact that Ops love water is just icing.

Dungeon Farmer will get you there

Most of the people who say extended is boring have won lots and lots of games with lots and lots of runes. At a certain point you get jaded. (For me, that happened the second time I was ever in the Abyss, and the first time I was ever in Tomb. I like the hells and slime fine, and if the game is kind...

This reminds me of sealed vaults in ToME which as far as I can tell exist primarily to reduce the amount of exploration you have to do in Dreadfell (anything that does that is most welcome)

Let's not let it go there with Crawl

I just don't like things that are flavourful AND boring or annoying, like the orb run. Many people disagree with you about that, though. I'm one of them, and I know I'm not alone-I like the orb run a lot, despite it being not hard the majority of the time. Yes, this is my opinion. We can go back an...

Relocate < staircases to random (known) squares when entering a level with the orb. This solution is *really* simple (code, interface, flavour). Would this happen every time you enter a level with the orb or just the first time (I assume just once but have no idea how difficult that would be to cod...

You cannot be trampled into water or lava.

You are correct, luring would remain exactly as important, it will, however, become more tedious. This is kind of silly since luring without digging would work (and does work) exactly the same as luring with digging except you wouldn't dig edit: having to pull further and find a more optimal positi...

Removing digging will make luring even more important. No it won't. Luring will remain exactly as important as it is now, you'll just be forced to use your naturally occurring terrain to do it. I am squarely in the "remove orbrun" camp. The mechanic that makes the orbrun interesting (enem...

Yeah it definitely should not be possible since you can't blink or tele in treeform either, so.

what if i find it fun to play gods that work properly what if the things you find fun/unfun some other person finds unfun/fun some people like elfs, some people like orcs, some people want to fuck a dragon, some people want to be fucked by one. I'm pretty sure that was his point in the first place ...

Right, then why are we even talking about it if we can all just code our own Crawls ? I'll suggest to you an even simpler solution : ignore digging while you play, and VOILA ! problem solved for you. don't thank me. a problem with Crawl is a problem and if removing something fixes the problem the d...

wands of random effects suck because random effects suck so maybe just take them out?

This seems like a good time to fix that

I'm personally a big fan of mottled.

"Its spells can be silenced" would be a free and easy five words to just slot in by a monster. This makes total sense to me and removes some spoilery nonsense. fr: remove Geryon, remove Geryon's horn, remove anything that asks for his horn, just let people go into hells, you can make vesti...

I started a job at a factory a couple days ago, and this morning I had a dream that Blork was looking over my shoulder trying to write me up for a safety violation. So now I will think of him as "Blork the Safety Orc". http://i67.tinypic.com/2e51qic.png jim jim I'm gonna need you to keep ...

Wz is awkward because it's not really much of a book start (and its level 3 spells also don't take advantage of Dg's higher spellpower, to boot), I would suggest a different background. Is it fair to assume IE is the most powerful? What would you say are the best options here? I definitely like pla...

But replacing one with the other would still kill you

which is why I tell people "don't do that"

because until you have a handle on how the noise and vault layouts and monsters and everything else work it's a terrible idea that will get you killed by a golden dragon

PA is a niche spell. a spell that kills most of the game is a niche spell? If poison magic is actually bad (I am not saying either way here) the best fix is to just make fewer monsters in lair have rpois. or none preferably IMO, but especially ridiculous are hydras and remove some of them too pleas...

Well, it IS a level in Crawl, so probably you want to buff up to kill things that are dangerous, fight at a chokepoint, know your surroundings, have an escape plan, and don't attract more attention than is necessary Don't read immolation for the love of all that is holy and sacred in this beautiful ...

Orbs of fire are an easy peasy cakewalk, they're only 199 on that list

Dying to ghosts also busts ghosts eventually so you're doing excellent work as it is

I argue that if you haven't racked up a bunch of mutations before choosing a god, you're playing poorly. And boring. Mutation roulette is the best idea. Mutations are weighted towards getting good ones, and as long as you're not Gozag, there are PLENTY of mutagenic corpses throughout the game to ad...

If you've racked up a bunch of mutations before choosing a god, you're playing poorly. A switch from Ely or TSO is a pretty edge case, and even then you're giving up half your piety, which requires careful consideration as to its value. Giving up 1, 2, 5, or 10 good mutations is way less likely to k...

It can still be a sound strategy, though hardly optimal. Ive done it several times, lastly with a discord spriggan. Fun You might think it's fun but you shouldn't recommend it as a strategy when someone is asking how to handle V:5. Remember, the question is, "what is the generally best strateg...

No set of mutations, good or bad, is worth recommending a player switch gods to Zin for.

Hahaha! Eat it! Things get described! Haha!

Features of Crawl:
-orb spiders
-food
-silver medal ghosts

this has been hashed out pretty well already but if you don't think ranged is worthwhile I highly encourage you, just try training throwing and giving it a decent whirl and see what you think

if you still think ranged sucks after that I can't help you but you're free to feel how you feel

I never said I don't think people should have their own opinions or disagree about things. This is what makes debate and conversation interesting. If you look again at what I said, I believe it shows we agree on that point. I was reacting to someone essentially telling me I had no right to voice an...

My issue still isn't with the content of the thread nor do I think the content of the thread is "all too obvious" As a matter of fact I don't think that Okawaru is too good compared to other gods. I think if you're fortunate enough to get the notoriously shaky heroism off the ground Okawar...

immolating and blowing up guards on V:5 generates a ton of noise which in turn wakes up and draws in three titans, a gold dragon, a quicksilver dragon, and fifty vault humans of various nastinesses

so you shouldn't do it

it's where people who want a +1 buckler go to take a dip

The power you wield, the power of annoyance. Too great for one person alone to bear.
