In my most recent game, I have explored 15 levels of Dungeon, 6 levels of Lair, 2 levels of Orc and found 0 helms, 0 boots, and 0 gloves. The spawn rate is too low now.

Mod edit: moved from GDD.

In my latest game, I have explored 15 levels of Dungeon, 3 levels of Snake, 2 levels of Orc, 4 levels of Lair with not a single pair of boots. No boots in stores, no boots!

Perhaps this discussion might benefit from some data. I don't really have an opinion about whether it's too low or high. But we can use objstat to determine the expected number of items found. See this file for the latest numbers. From the spreadsheet, I see, from D:1-10, you are expected to get (b...

If a class has high Armor skill, then it depends on armor. The game is balanced so that high armor skill comes at the expense of some other skill. Having armor spawn rates be so low that a class doesn't even reliably get +0 versions of armor means the classes with good armor skill are penalized rela...

The item spawn rate of boots/gloves/helm/cloak is too low now. Through many versions it was far too high so it is good that it was reduced, but in many runs now I am reaching D10 (clearing full levels) and still not having seen a single boot/glove/helm. I usually find a cloak somewhere by then, and ...

I would suggest keeping torment but reducing the extended games torment-spam. It should be an infrequent thing, rather than having tormentor/hell sentinel/whatever casting it throughout the entire extended game. Also, the mutation casting mobs need to be toned down a little now that rMut is nearly n...

Consumables are fine as they are. Inventory management would skyrocket with any of the proposals other than just reducing the spawn rate, but that would severely alter the game play which is already being altered too much as it is. One of the beauties of Crawl is that it allows many different playst...

Regneration works well how it is. It allows melee types to recover HP with a heal over time with moderate investment in spell casting. It perfectly fits the niche of a "HOT" that doesn't just require resting until healed. Yet it is not over-powered because it doesn't instantly restore chun...

Idf is playing Version 18 of the game in order to be able to use Condensation Shield which is no longer in the game. That invalidates the win as far as I'm concerned.

We need to at least be playing the current version (0.19) or trunk (0.20).

Just played the weapon-less council the other day and really enjoyed the whirlwind, wall jump and surge attacks. Being able to attack and move and play positionally with a melee character like that is innovative and fun! Great Job!

First off, I get the reference: In early versions of Nethack, the Keystone Kops would throw pies and blind you. Now we have KIller Klowns throwing pies and blinding you. Bear in mind that the Killer Klowns and pies were taken out of later versions of Nethack as being silly and anachronistic. Two thi...

No. It was not a joke, actually. Your response is condescending and demeaning, which is not at all in line with encouraging newer players to participate in the forum community.

Sometimes people are wrong. In this case, it seems I was.

As the overwhelming consensus seems to be that I mistaken, I retract my comments.

This is a problem that's slowly being addressed if you look at very recent trunk changes. The big problem was that V and D both had the exact same monster list (literally the same function). That is now being differentiated with the new types of vault guard monsters and hopefully more will happen. ...

One additional point: I picked those two monsters over the course of numerous games. It wasn't just one or two games. Occasionally I had a game in which some other monster was ridiculously common (the deep troll packs with shaman and/or mages, for example), but over the course of many games it was r...

Hi, After substantial "play-testing" (i.e. spending all my time playing for the last month) the only monsters you get ridiculously sick of seeing all the time are yaktaur packs and stone giants. They're just all over the place from Dungeon Level 18-27 and Vaults 1-5. They're not a problem ...
