Siegurt wrote:Do you likewise request a demon long dagger with a sanctified crystal short blade upgrade?

YES.

The wiki lists all of them as Blessed Blades... So then probably what will happen is, when TSO blesses your weapon it just gains the Holy Wrath brand, but no longer gains an upgraded form. ...actually, I think that's fair, because the "Blessed Blade" system kind of unfairly penalized peopl...

...what exactly does this mean? What I mean is... Do they mean that they will no longer randomly spawn on enemies in the wild, but you can still get them from The Shining One? Or are they actually GONE COMPLETELY, and The Shining One no longer has any reason to exist at all? Or maybe TSO can still g...

From what I've seen somewhere around 90% of suggested ideas never make it in, even among those posted on the dev wiki. I really don't think you should be taking it this personally.

I think the logic is "rings are boring, so let's do anything to make them more interesting, even if it means making them all suck."

The video was interesting, though most of it is stuff I already knew.

What I'm NOT sure of is what this has to do with removing high elves.

I made a point of avoiding contaminated chunks at all cost... I could swear, though, that I remember eating contaminated chunks and not being able to eat anymore.

IIRC, contaminated chunks caused nausea which made it so you got no nutrition from that chunk and also you couldn't eat anymore. Getting nausea while starving (or even nearly starving) was certain death unless you had a potion of curing you were okay with wasting. Of course, you could also refill yo...

Oh, also...

Ely does. She gives penance if you even so much as HIT a holy being, let alone kill it.

Back in Linley's Dungeon Crawl the lack of a hunger clock was actually kind of a big deal. Permafood was way more rare, and eating contaminated chunks without an amulet of the gourmand was a terrible idea, so starving was a lot more of a worry. (Or maybe I just remember it that way because I wasn't ...

What I played I really did like, but I didn't get all that far. I got to chapter... 4, I think? The one where you're getting ready to enter the Fire Nation (or whatever they were called) and then I stopped playing for reasons I don't entirely remember. I did think that the story was a bland cliche s...

So, basically your idea is for a TCG with an adventure mechanic built in?

...that actually sounds really freaking cool. :3

Here's another complaint/question I have about 0.15:

Is it just me or does Qazlal the Stormbringer seem obscenely powerful? Also, is it just me or does it seem like he kind of has a lot of overlap with/overshadowing of Mahkleb?

I just noticed the WTF in the title. "Bravely Default: What The F@$king F#%k?!" :p

When Grunt said that Crawl was perfect and all further updates would just mess it up, I thought he was joking. Then I looked at the current changelist for 0.15. Followers of good gods no longer get a chance to turn holy enemies neutral. So encountering holy monsters is now forced penance. Gotcha. Oh...

i.e. there is no ultimate perfect way to play that everyone should strive to achieve. Maybe there will be eventually but I don't see it right now. To be completely honest with you? I sincerely hope that, if such a thing does exist, it's never found. One of the things that gives Crawl an edge over m...

It's a game. Way I see it the "optimal" scenario is to have fun. That's why I play demonspawn hybrid-mage characters so often, but almost never play minotaurs fighters - I might not win a lot, but I always have an interesting time. (Fun fact: I actually did play a minotaur gladiator once. ...

If you haven't played Bravely Default... one of the main characters is named Agnes, and that's how they pronounce it.

Now every time I see the unique Agnes I want to pronounce her name "ahn-yes."

The lack of other combat options would make Elyvilon's pacification too powerful by comparison, so she'd have to go too.

Hi Knight9910, you might find the following article an interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke You and the OP might find the following article to be an interesting read too: http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Funny And also this one: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rhetorical%20an...

Well, let's see here... -Hunger and food I could take it or leave it, honestly. -Identification/unidentified items If you can't handle identifying then play something easier. Something with "Hannah Montana" in the title might be more your speed. -Curse and remove curse If you can't handle ...

I think the real issue is that there's nothing in place to prevent you from abusing the systems the good gods set up. Like my example of The Shining One telling you that you can't attack a fleeing enemy, but allowing you to chase them down and kill them after backing them into a corner. (Admittedly ...

Elyvilon also doesn't really work. ely really reminds me enchantress from dota, a cute and cheerful half-deer girl who enchants monsters and makes them kill their friends and families (she can heal too), it's basically what ely does, you pacify some orc warlord and he betrays his people and even tu...

Nope. Most spellcasters are tagged as evil and therefore free game for paladins to do whatever they want with.

I play a lot of things. So much so that rather than naming specific games it would probably be easier to just say what I particularly like to see in a game. I prefer games that allow me to create my own characters. This is actually the thing that drew me to Crawl in the first place. (It's also why C...

I realized that almost immediately. But when I first read the thread title I thought he meant a dungeon branch full of enemies specializing in ranged combat. Sort of like the Bailey portal vaults. Or the Shoals.

See, when he said "branch" I thought he meant "dungeon branch."

This is why I hate english sometimes.

Um... maybe?

"Never do Elf" is an overstatement used in hopes of getting newer players to consider the possibility of not mindlessly ramming their head into available content regardless of whether it is a good idea for their particular character to do so. Not doing Elf is a good possibility to conside...

So I've had this recurring thought whenever I read "Don't do Elf": Why does it exist at all if all good players avoid it always? The premise of your question is flawed. "All" good players do not avoid Elf. In fact, I would argue that any player who refuses to do Elf under any ci...

I'm trying to test things and want to be able to place a portal to a specified portal vault, but I can't find the WizMode command to do it. I know it used to be lower case "p" but that now lists props. Does anyone know how to do this?

I used an immolation scroll, forgot I did so, and killed an enemy with melee.

RIP, my poor character.

Just a few dumb ideas I've had pop into my head, which I thought someone might find amusing. • Durian - a vegetable type food item which has a side effect of repelling every nearby enemy. • If there's a rat (any color) and an elephant both in your LoS at the same time the elephant is hit with an unr...

Well, technically you don't need to have any more than 8 MP and at least a 99% spell failure rate to cast LCS.

Yeah, that's exactly what we need to make them less obnoxious - one more extra thing to have to micromanage and waste turns on.

duvessa wrote:2. you can reduce LCS hunger to 0 (int*spellcasting >= 860), i am not sure what kind of ridiculous liar told you that you can't

Experience?

At 27 Spellcasting you'd need 31 Int to do that... which, I guess it's possible in extended.

In a recent game I was running a demonspawn AK who took up bows after finding a good randart... then I got demonic guardians and oh my crazy cosmic horror god they are ANNOYING me. Right now they're nothing but puny little imps that die in one hit from anything. Their only purpose is to block me fro...

But hunger is a factor too. Iron Shot can be reduced to 0 hunger cost. Crystal Spear can not.

Yeah. I think the best setup would be... Monstrous-- Claws Talons Horns Powered By Pain Mana Shield Augmentation I would prefer talons over hooves because hooves reduce your stealth. If I don't care about stealth then I might go hooves because I think (though am not 100% certain) they do more damage...

That's stupid. You shouldn't get rTorment until late game because you don't NEED it until late game.

The 0.14 changelog includes this little tidbit... Divine wrath is now contingent on XP gain and cannot be waited out. So... what does that mean, exactly? Does this mean that I can now get infinite retributions on me if I'm not gaining XP fast enough? What is the rate of penance loss? I'd check the w...

Let's add to the list! If you're a merfolk and you found fancy flying boots in the shoals, DO NOT PUT THEM ON. I don't care if they're +2 and your old boots are +0. Bad Tasonir.

I thought they said it was level 2?

Because it was:

T1: rNeg+
T2: rNeg++
T3: rTorment

And then they said they replaced "rNeg++" with Black Mark
