Don't forget to remake conservation/preservation (also Ds and Slime god).

No. No. No! Please no. No. NO.

Good.

Also maybe don't let them drop XP. This is practically screaming: you wouldn't get any XP for kill. It doesn't mean you shouldn't kill it anyway. But idea of slow and deadly monster, which recklessly follow you can be interesting, I believe. I consider main point of this creature is forcing player ...

Code:: Sonja drops short sword of distortion. Sonja pick up orcish flail.

After banishing my extra-lucky character.

I just tried BoB online, because rework looks sweet. Leveled up Evo to 15 solely for BoB. And it feels pretty weak, because I found 2 Boxes in Orc:4 and were at V when got enough skill to try them out. That gave me chimeras like Wolf/Ice Beast/Ice Beast or like Yak/Cob/Bat which not anywhere close t...

>Mara vs glass cannon good-bad-ugly-standoff-o.gif Looks like best idea in your situation is running away because this decision is good vs Mara like always. If you would fight him anyway I would recommend you firestorm variant because your clone may not want to cast Iron Shot when it can cast Firsto...

Code:: F - the amulet of Uvitt (around neck) {rMut rPois rF+ rC++ rN+} (You found it on level 7 of the Lair of Beasts)

We don't want players to work a database sheet but to play a game. https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=359 btw. Ok, I see point about not brining not-that-important-stuff for sake of new players or even anybody. 1. What's bad if it could be disabled by default advanced feature? ...

I guess it's bad proposal because it's too simple to be not proposed before.

I just got YASD because I forgot blizzard demons have Airstrike. And came up with awesome proposal: make stuff like monster's AC/spells/attack brands/base damage/etc. visible via ingame discription. Reason: numbers are useful and Crawl should be perfectly playable without side sites with spoilers an...

Yes, I got robust as tier3 so I guess rest of the deal is learning Dragon Form and maxing out Fighting while not dying in process.
Thanks for help to turn dream into reality.

I got a dream tonight.
I played crawl and my character (obv another Ds) got 711 HP pool because some cool mutations or something.
I felt good.

P.S. Current one IRL got 258 only. Eh.

rebthor wrote:Scatters inventory - who cares 99.9% of the time?

At first glance i missed "up to 5" part and considered Kavalyn's wrath as worst in game.

There are some obvious cases already in existence; a +6 ring of slaying is obviously better than a +4 ring of slaying, a +1 robe is better than +0, etc. etc. I mean there is way how +0 robe can be archimagi thus better than +1 for anybody with spells. Or whatever ego and better in some circumstance...

i don't think "use better equipment" is the sort of no-brainer that the devs are against I just pointed out: this proposal doesn't create some interesting choices. Not like something bad by itself. But consider it promote boring idea of "pick up probably useless stuff all the day&quo...

I am not sure if that's ok or i were just lucky or it's because some training in Evocations (Nemelex characters), but is it ok to kill some decent unique like Gastronok or Rupert in Lair with one single use of water evoker? Allies vs. Okawru Allowing your allies to die (except nonliving allies). (Pi...

I just came up with awesome proposal.
Rescale rods' recharge rate so there would be no negative enchantment because it's spoilery and stuff and it doesn't make rods to lose charge with time (could be intereseting mechanic for something btw).

+5 ring is better than +2 ring in any given case for any ring. So switchin' is nobrainer. Single exception for this are artifacts (because -1 ring of protection with Dam+4 is better than +2 ring, but not always) and they are this way already. And I don't think "pick up and try every item of sam...

I summarised stuff from my HD which kind of falls under your criterica and weren't mentioned before. Arcanum : cool steampunk RPG with magic and dialoges and stuff. Considering same dev more like steampunk Fallout. Actually their company "Troika Games" died horribly after failing to perfor...

I always wanted to be monstrous Ds with shitload of slaying. But never really succeded, last succesful one lost due server end stuff. And always wanted to play Jiyva because he's cool but you can follow him early rarely. So when i got nice unarmed Ds of Trog and found enough slaying, i switched to J...

Except it is not about realism, but about god's background and flavour. Realism ~= logical/make believe (in some obviously nonreal setting with demons and stuff) ~= good flavour. I wanted to comment about this not for sake of proposal (because it looks not supported and anything work like intended)...

When somebody talks about realism in crawl, I just remember about ocean under ocean under ocean under ocean under ocean.
Underground.

My bad, understood it wrong. Anyway, i dont see much reason in searching for vaults for sake of learning which slot you will inevitabily lose (usually you get this information pretty early because of first level in relevant mutation). May be i am bad player and cool kids get some huge profit using t...

I dont like to read attentively.

Anyway, I don't understand how having access to a useful item for a limited period of time is worse, than not getting this item at all. Loss hurts, not having at all not that much (especially when it's not something critical like rPois for Nest). Of course, mechanically it's the other way. Your pre...

So he wouldn't gift you stuff you will be unable to use after some level ups. Reasons: Oka's gifts supposed to be permanent. His gifts arent nice even when they are permanent. Usually. So decreasing average quality further isn't required. It's even worse when you get boots of running with talons 2 a...

Not sure about Erolcha, but Sigmund/IJYB?
Srsly, Ijyb at V:4. Srsly.

On my first win i spent ~5000 turns with Necromut/LRD/Dig making ascension route close to optimal (shortest) as much as i could. And excluded non-optimal upstairs. And tested every stair. And tested whole route then by performing orb-run without orb. Then almost died at Zot:5 after picking it. Then ...

Then up-to-150% much more dangerous than electrocution's up-to-24 after some moment.

I thought up-to-150% additional damage is enough of caveat.

Wait.
Does weapon brand multiply monster's dmg rating? Or only weapon base dmg?

Reason: it hurts. Also because realising this decent melee guy able to 2-hit you isn't fun. Especially only when first humiliating hit landed already. And treating any decent melee guy with shiny gun as HW-wielder is kinda tedious. Dont forget about perfect flavour. If some weapons can rape you with...

D:6. Then hydra comes. I am next to downstairs, hydra like 3 tiles away. So i take decision to step to downstairs. Next turn giant eyeball appears, paralyze, instagib. It's what happens, when youre lucky with mutations and equip (like +4 chain mail just on floor or +2 rpois cloak from Yiff) in tourn...

There is a pretty exciting conception of ghosts of failed players, but may be something very similiar could be also fun. May be not, because that's very similiar to existing feature. Proposal: with some chance, when non-unique monster kills player's character, it gets generated name and saved. Then ...

In the spirit of this, however, I just went out in the street and asked 10 completely random people what they thought of Nethack and Medusa. None of them had even heard of Nethack. So I conclude that Nethack doesn't actually exist and we must all be delusional. More correct: you asked 1000, 100 wer...

One problem: they're immortal. Boris with petrify?

If you're familiar with DCSS's development then "Nethack did it" is a perfectly good argument to say no to something. There is one thing i really like in DC:SS project . Clarity. Even manual says about design philosophy. I can check this forum and see how concepts and features are born or...

Nobody is claiming that Medusa is more associated with Nethack than with Greek Mythology. But for anyone who knows Nethack well, it appears an association exists. Nethack Medusa: About 23,700 results Nethack: About 1,690,000 results Doesnt looks like she's some kind of famous feature of Nethack. E....

>Zassran
Bad kitten!
Its kinda close to "shitass" in Russian ("zasranec").
I highly reccomend to rename, for sake of potentional translation (i saw some people working on it in other subforum).

I play mostly Ds for a couple of years. 1-2 additional mutations of new tier, consisting of muts with awesome pluses and sick drawbacks would be nice. But i highly recommend to not play with itemslots, especially body (mostly for sake of fighters, may be tons-of-ac-but-cant-wear-armour would be ok)....

I'm not sure I'd say that "end game which is longer than the 3 runer game" is true: avg(turn)=105433.29 avg(turn)=222819.76 ? Also rN is somewhat (orcs! shadow dragons!) useful in 3rune. Subject mutations practically arent at all after some point. Especially ignite blood. Epsecially when ...

I agree with omegasean. I don't see any design problem with Yred or Fedhas not working in extended. Just change god or go win the game. Let me disagree. I dont like all this "extended-content" thing, not as branches, but as justification (implying Pan/Hells/Abyss/Tomb are extended part). ...
