mechanics that the player will hate to the point of resorting to tedious equipment management in order to avoid those same mechanics"? its funny you say that since it mostly applies to ringswapping resistances in. in the case of amulets i barely change them around. if i have faith, its kept on...

selling yourself to strangers is a legit way to make some good $$$ in elona
you lose some karma doing so though but the $$$ is just too good

the new ones look like shit.

I played it when it was in beta or alpha or something when someone promoted it here.
looked promising back then.

but that would just make it 100% useless for anyone.

shouting is a horrible mechanic

And, honestly, I don't think you have any right to call out duvessa's behavior here, Aule. You seem to be getting pretty worked up about a video game, after all, whereas I'm pretty sure duvessa doesn't owe you a detailed list of reasons why he disagrees with you. keep the circlejerking up, good wor...

I like this idea.

Edit: mod removed a comment that insulted this thread and also a class of people, then locked the post. basically you want mages to have as strong melee as fighter dudes, without them having to invest any additional exp to said melee, with the added bonus of their melee being partly elemental damag...

discuss

I remember cure poison nearly every time i find it, because i rather press z+x and move on than tap 5 furiously.

This idea stems for the fact that all the major playstyles (stabber, conjurer, fighter) have obvious default Gods. Transmuters don't. I hardly think this is true stabber gods: Dith, Trog, Oka, Kiku. (and pretty much any others as well) mages usually go for sif of vehu for books mainly melee dudes c...

Just have 2 rolls that determine the effect
1st to determine if hit affects you at all, based on hd/spellpower/mr
2nd to determine how bad the effect is. more mr=lower duration.

this way confuse and other spells could remain a threat even in the late game.

I'm not sure spriggans can take that huge of a nerf.

I don't care about whatever semantic runaround people will give me to discredit whatever parts of my post they don't want to address. It isn't a "semantic runaround." Your entire point rests on the premise that the devs don't care enough about the players, which is absolutely wrong. Let's...

And people also need to admit that the postgame needs an overhaul. I don't know what the current state of affairs is but for the few years i've been here, pretty much everyone has agreed that torment is idiotic and should be removed and a better mechanic added in it's stead. the problem is, i don't...

secret cow level please

So basically you want UC to become just another weapon skill without any differentiation from other weapon schools.

To be fair, Yred would be better off re-skinned for newer players, though it's not worth the effort. For some of my first games of Crawl, when I'd go altar-to-altar deciding what god to take, Yred and Kiku were just the two undead gods to me. And for quite some time I had trouble remembering which ...

couldn't agree more

You aren't in any danger period in extended if you play correctly, and that includes when tormenting enemies are nearby; that's the problem with crawl extended. But walking around with permanently 35% less HP in extended (or anywhere really) is certainly a good way to get in danger. by this logic y...

These removals seem quite absurd.
but oh well, there is a reason why even /vg/ has stopped discussing crawl as a whole.

So...
Unlimited risk free potions
Unlimited food
Better items than okawaru gives
op summons

So basically you want a more versatile okawaru with unlimited food and 2 additional abilities. (no skill boost but you have all potions you want available with no real cost)

Have you ever chopped wood with a dull axe?

Even in the case of 26 species and 100 species is the same for beginners. It always looks "lot of species". When all of those species are actually diverse and offer something new, it's amazing. When some of them are actually diverse and some just shuffle aptitudes around for a bit, the ne...

It usually takes more than 1 hit for an executioner to kill a character, even if it is a low AC-caster.
Thus we can conclude it must have been so in the medieval times as well.

They would be more interesting if they were A) much beefier and B) actual ambush predators. Give them full submersion, no spoilery ripples in the water, and then give them a constriction attack (reflavored) and allow them to pull the player into shallow water like a mermaid. Now you cant see them c...

I hate the frog pond ending the most, though the hell ending comes close 2nd (mostly cause no loot)
The brain worm/dragon, hounds and catoblepas are probably my favorites

An early cursed -3 weapon or ring of slaying-5 is crippling to a melee character, but they can still hit things, usually less effectively but occasionally as well as normal. An early ring of MP-9 would completely shut down spellcasting for a book background. with -5 slaying on D1-5 i don't think yo...

Just make the explosion damage bypass ac.

They shouldn't be allowed to use blowguns either.

Most cards in the deck of destruction are variations on existing spells. Do you think deck of destruction should be expunged from Crawl? the difference between those 2 is huge. one is basically a god-ability (that can only be used once) and one is a rod Surely you don't think that limiting their sp...

So the design space is... incredibly powerful rods? Why should that design space be filled with only one rod? It's like saying the design space of mass-effect spells are filled by Firestorm so there's no need for other high-level area-of-effect conjurations. No, its: incredibly powerful rods rods h...

Old rods were removed, yet they worked very differently: you could choose a particular spell to evoke from it, rather than it happening randomly. You may as well argue that rod of ignition and rod of clouds fill the same design, because rod of clouds can create fire clouds. Which would be OK, but y...

Rod with the following spells:
- Leda's Liquefaction
- Conjure Flame (surrounding all the empty spaces around the target location, Ring of Flames style)
- Summon Butterflies
- Olgreb's Toxic Radiance
- Cause Fear
- Mass confusion / Alistair's Intoxication (or both)
- Scroll of Immolation-effect

so it would fill the same design space as those rods
Rod of frigid destruction (Throw Frost, Throw Icicle, Freezing Cloud) was removed in 0.14
and a lvl 9 spell on a rod would be op as fuck

rod of destruction should be removed and replaced by rod of smiting

rod of clouds already exists

I have never ever ran out of food with a spriggan.

Supporting the change to amulet and buffing it to 50+(x*stealth skill) x being 3-5
The amulet slot altogether should have some additions to it. All the current ones are quite boring. (rMut, rCorr, Gourmand and Faith being situational, it only leaves you a choice between Clarity, Regen and Spirit)

Artifacts with only positive qualities are mostly uninteresting. This statement makes no sense whatsoever unless the character has no items that are better than wearing nothing. If you have +0 plate armour, every body armour artefact in the game has the negative property of -10 base AC. If you have...

The problem is, Gozag currently fills no niche at all (if you dont count *have all the gold in the world*), has no solid theme, isn't really fun to play (at least for me), steps on other gods' toes and just seems unfinished product in every aspect. It's just bits and pieces of many possible other go...

Having Needles apply the quiver system would be a huge nerf to the more rare needles, since they generate very rarely even now. If i had to choose between a stack of 5-7 confuse/paralyze needles and a refilling quiver of 1/2 i would always choose the stack. And if all the needle quivers would hold 3...

I'm not convinced he's right either, but talking about how he's imagining things, bad at the game, or worse whining about being bad at the game, like whoever this other dude is, is pretty lame and not an argument.

I would like to point that morgues of characters before the change are pointless because good play with abundant food contains in casting high hunger spells. It would be a mistake to train Spellcasting (to reduce hunger) or cast low level spells when you have 50+ rations in your inventory or when y...

Hm, what if DD, instead of getting recharge, got a 'brew potion of heal wounds' ability that recharged slowly with either XP or exploration (I'm not sure which would be less prone to abuse) This is functionally similar to the proposal early to heal them a chunk on every new level, except they could...
