Doom hounds in the Vestibule?! Great. I wőnder what is next, an ancient lich is Lair or something.

I also wonder if the doom hound's appearance there was intentional or just a bug. Another reason to never play trunk.

Stat drain seems to be way over the top. I took a trip in Gehenna, and by the time I reached G:7, my dexterity was reduced from 19 to minus 7. WTF. I also don't understand the point of having only 1 downstair. If it is hidden in some weird corner (which happens), you just circle around getting annoy...

I don't understand this.

Are there shops in Hell or Pan? (Yeah, thought I would ask anyway.) No, I've never seen one. Is there floor loot in Hell or Pan or only loot in the Lord event/7th floor? There is regular floor loot in Pan, but not in Hell. If you are doing Hell, is there any reason to clear a floor before diving to...

Yes, indeed, I just checked, there is such a thing as weapon's accuracy. I thought it was removed many versions ago. I am also uncertain of what it does exactly.

Also, next time try not to fight berserk orb guardians. If you see guardians and a moth, read a scroll of fear to scare away the moth. Is anything else made as much more dangerous by berserking as an orb guardian? I find them trivial otherwise, but, as you said, quite dangerous berserk. Quicksilver...

Yes, certainly read a blink scroll, but blink to where and then what? How on Earth did that orb of fire get behind you? It is an idea to blink next to the teleport trap and then step on it. It might bring you to safety, but it's not a guarantee. Also, next time try not to fight berserk orb guardians...

Wow! Yes, you are right.

In my defence, this change (that insects can be pacified again) is quite recent, it was made in... erm... in 2015

In this case, the killer was a spark wasp. As far as I know insects can't be pacified for some extremely dumb reason. The wand of para was the best bet, although maybe at 2 skill it is not that effective. A killhole would have been good because you don' fight two at once, but still they are really d...

Of course, a combo top score is not a big thing with a new species where all scores are low. So, after a couple of months of not playing I looked around on various servers and I found 18 unfinished characters in many versions. Wow. Most of them will remain unfinished I guess, who wants to play 0.18 ...

Good job! Streaking is always very exciting :D Questions: 1. Where is the char dump? I want to see it all! 2. So you went to win after 6 runes. Was it because Pan was scary, or that was the plan all along, or something else? 3. So you used mostly javelins and a bardiche plus only small utility spell...

What is the threat which could only be averted by shutting down registrations? Spambots flooding the forums or something else?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the "always acquire jewellery" advice, and I just can't. Let's set aside the problem that acq was changed lately, and look at the older versions. This advice is so blatantly wrong. Even if you only play octopodes, it is still wrong. I just don't unde...

Wand of fire? Wand of change? "Used stats"? "Only go for Jewelry"?

I really hope that this is not an actual guide for new players.

I agree that monsters in the Lair rune branches tend to be somewhat stronger than monsters in the late dungeon. In my opinion, they are not "somewhat" stronger, they are much-much stronger. Every Lair branch is full of debilitating monsters that can murder you in a flash. In Spider there ...

On the other hand, I expect this "Zot clock" to be a lot of fun in the future, with many-many unexpected deaths due to interactions that we currently can't even imagine. I guess Zot clock related bugs will be with us until 2030 and beyond. I don't think so. Players have to be prepared to ...

Slimes wake up and eat items I think we might be on to something there. Item destruction is known as a bad feature, but that's mostly about the destruction of items already in the player's inventory or stash. OTOH, tined portals work as level-wide quasi-timers with a threat of "if you waste ti...

About the difficulty spike: I second those who tell you that there are no difficulty spike around the first rune (or elswhere). I am quite surprised at this. In my experience, there is a significant difficulty spike at this point. Granted, some D:15 endings are quite tough (fire giant, frost giant)...

When I tried to comprehend the original post, I googled "Elyvrine" and the machine said "It looks like there aren't any great matches for your search". So I gave up.

I would have thrown that ring away without thinking. Now I thought about it, and I still don't understand how is this even a candidate. If it was swappable, it would be marginally better than a ring of ice. Not being swappable is a huge minus. Even if you find a rF ring, that will mean that both rin...

Satisfies most of the conditions comfortably, but most of the time I have a "wait a minute" feeling about it. Technically true, but feels wrong. On a similar note, I just realized that chess is also a roguelike! Random environment generation - if you play the variant chess960 (or Fischer-r...

Sorry for interrupting, but isn't Slay the Spire a deckbuilding cardgame? Why would you call it a roguelike at all?

That is the weirdest claim I have ever read on this forum ever. To my knowledge the only bot who ever won a game without human assistance is qw (developed by elliptic). Qw has done some very nice stuff, but is very far from winning any combo on demand. Games: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/player...

I would have acquired gold. You have less than 500 gold right now if I am not mistaken.

By the way, Siegurt, what is your source? I use http://crawl.develz.org/trunk/changes.txt but there is no sign of this change yet.

For one thing it would make FeBe & KoBe feel distinct from MiBe.

Somehow I don't need food to feel a difference between MiBe and KoBe and FeBe.

The second bug is this: I think I found a weird bug. In the Exploration category, I seem to have Wizlab missing, even though I did visit a Wizlab with one of my characters.

There are a couple of bugs discussed in the previous topic that are still alive. The first one: Sort order on https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.25/all-players-ranks.html is wrong, it uses "String" sort instead of "Integer". It results in order like 1, 10, 100, 101 etc. instea...

Or there is "Exploration". The definition is pretty ambiguos: players earn 3 points per distinct rune of Zot collected and 1 point each for distinct branch entry and end floor reached. What does this exactly mean? Do Zig:1 and Zig:27 count? Do Abyss:1 and Abyss:5 count? Do the various tim...

I would report this as a bug.

The easiest fix is the Corruption does not place undiggable walls anywhere.

On the character page (ilke https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.25/players/magipi.html) the individual categories sheet is pretty uninformative. It shows the value and the score, but it it does not show the details, which is pretty bad sometimes. Take, for example, "Unique harvesting". I...

It seems that you remember wrong. Watch it again.

Slow and Steady (Chei) banner tier 3: it says "Achieve a two-win streak" - but as far as I can see the banner is only awarded for a 4-game streak, which was the old criteria.

After watching it, I am pretty sure that you were confused by your own mephitic cloud. You cast it 2 turns earlier to hit the water nymph, and you positioned it well - it did not hit you. And you did not step in it either. So how did the cloud move? I have 2 theories. First, there was a wind drake. ...

The milestone game was the first game of the 0.25 tournament. I picked a gargoyle, as I planned to go for 15 runes, and hunter, as I wanted something that might not be popular and thus can remain a high score for me. An Oka altar on D:2 was a great find. I converted to TSO for the endgame after 3 ru...

I've checked the site again. The thing that I like the least is the way banners are shown. In the old system, you actually collected banners. In the new system you cross out lines on a page full of text. This feels a lot worse.

This sounds suspiciously like a bug. Very weird if this is intentional.

What made you discount it being the average? Some of the display maths is possibly dodgy, but it should be showing values within 1 point of a player's "true" score. Oops. I guess I fell victim of my small monitor. I did not see all the categories. Sorry. Even after realizing this however,...

Okay, so is this the real thing? https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.25/ The way how total score is calculated is a bit confusing. The rules say: The points received are: 10,000 / rank in category. Your overall rank is based on the total number of points gained across all categories. "Based o...

From the first paragraph: the big problem is the points system strongly favors very high playtime/day, as well as a particular playstyle (streak nemelex choice combos and then win a bunch of high-value parked characters before grinding out as many combos as you can).
