This is just silly, but it illustrates well why removing the phrase "jihad" was a good choice -- this poster seems to believe that not actively offending Muslims for no particular reason is going to somehow help "extremist groups" "undermin[e] our freedom of expression"...

I think Zealot fits well with Tavern's PC culture.

Haha! no thanks from me today!

The dark maul is the only weapon in the game with sound.

Well, vampires are undead and twilight killed vampires so i think its accurate.

DDs start the game at XL3; they don't have HPs; any (shaved) damage they take is deduced from XPs. They die if they ever reach 0 XP. No HP, hence no healing. Have you ever been "pemanently zero skilled by sonja"? Your idea is basically that, you have a race that will take damage until it ...

They were also good at throwing stuff, which is now the best thing they can do.

Well, humans can wear armor while ogres can wear dragon scales just to hammer down even more how similar to draconians they are.

Playing the game under the Hypothesis of dangerous enemies without ever facing said enemies is very fun and rewarding, cant wait to see it in trunk.

If only you had necromut or just didnt teleport to antaeus vault... Im really glad the spell you learned 85k turns into the game paid off, as you didnt need it before that.

Wow, that automap font brought back memories i refuse to accept are mine.

Last time that happened to me i basketball'd my way to the next orb spider and dunked on her.

Your bias is showing.

It's good to be able to get your HP back in a pinch, Not being in a pinch is better, aka trying to escape is normally a better choice. If you are in a pinch its normally due to being in a situation that you cannot handle. if what you mean by that is running into battle with the intention of losing ...

Nope, thats very far from whats being proposed here.

Making enemies easier to kill will reduce kiting to some extent. Is that what you want, though?

Can mages get infinite mp while we are at it?

BR is just as good as worshipping mak, and by that i mean you should not plan your builds around losing hp, unless you are a DD.

Maybe you should have spent more than five minutes. The devs plans are posted here: https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php? ... :0.20_plan Where is the 0.19 release plan? Or do you want to discuss the charms rework that is going on since 0.16 release plan? Because we have been discussing charms(in g...

I mean, if all this information is so easy to look for it should be somewhat as easy to post it here, in our faces. I thought you guys enjoyed some "danking".

Remember when there was a thread about amulet reform on GDD BEFORE it was implemented?

I'm curious as to why you think this. I haven't got a ton of experience with hunter, but are bows that much worse than crossbows for formicids?

I guess you could say its neutral, Fo just have -2 bow apt, making xbows more appealing, they can still use shield with any so its not a big deal.

Nightstalker is a awful gimmick though.

Yes, you never gonna have a good excuse for removing a race that had over 300k games.

You people ignore all the PUBLIC discussion that goes on in ##crawl-dev and crd and the dev wiki and mantis and then go to wordpress or tavern and pretend it never existed. This is why devs don't bother making real responses to you! It's not because your extremely popular opinion is unpopular, it's...

Touhouvania race with pubby.

Step 3: Wow it's a brand new not redundant race!

Correct.

Two reasons: 1. DCSS cares about gameplay over lore / theme. 2. The DCSS philosophy on replayability: "whenever there are choices to the player, be that choice of species, god, weapon or spell, the various options should be genuinely different. It is no good to provide dozens of weapons with d...

0.11 KoHu of Oka.

I think he ran out of robes to wear.

Since nobody wants a clock to push them foward and instead wants to take their sweet time to bore themselves to death, why not just reward the player instead? spawn chests of loot into groups of enemies that vanish if you leave their area, have a chance that there may be a trap that requires turns t...

Bezotting becomes trivial(in fact, aside from the 2 first uniques and one of josephine's ghosts) it was nonexistent during my run. It did change how i normally play though, having to play under the hypothesis that a dangerous enemies might appear in the corner, forcing me to avoid noise and optimize...

While giving this a try i thought to myself "ok, i can see this working, so long they are not stupid enough to give it to uniques". sig.jpg grind.jpg I went out of my way to tackle sigmund until he became bezotted because i thought i could win against him, it doesnt matter that i couldnt b...

Bring back Lamia, give her 1k gold, make her leave a trail of that gold where she goes, make it so that she bleeds part of that gold when hit, give her petrifying touch and mesmerize, crumbles into a pile of the remaining gold upon killed.

One of my most memorable D:1 experiences was when I had a gnoll outside the entrance vault and wound up kiting him through a bunch of enemies until I finally found a teleport trap to walk into and thereby escape to safety. Wow, i had a very similar experience! i even took a screenshot of it: uhum.j...

But a lot of times after I die, I find myself thinking "wait why didn't I just walk away, I didn't need to fight that monster." What if when you started the game you had more options than that? would that make the game worse? The only problem i see with early resource start is that you ar...

Get as much muts as possible if you are a felid/ogre.

Because short blades are too weak, and statue form is too strong. I was going to say "duhhh" but then i realised i actually agree with this. Not using a weapon is stronger than short blades. Almost everything about weapon types are nothing but a trap to get new players to use the wrong ty...

Your suggestions would make all backgrounds more similar; not a good idea. Do you want to elaborate on that? AFAIK all backgrounds and races already have very similar gameplay in the first floors. Anyways, wanderer's random consumables start is, to me, the most appealing thing compared to any other...

As someone who builds most characters around pumping str as much as possible(http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/ ... 001349.txt) i cant help but ask:
What is the str damage bonus formula?

Right now QDA is just a "heavier robe of MR" that cannot be enchanted due to flavor that is just uninteresting considering Quicksilver spawns in the same place Shadow and Golden Dragons do. Aside from when its found laying around on the floor, which is the equivalent of finding a randart s...

SHHHHHHH

But duvessa! If they run out of the giant stack of heal wounds potions before finding vamp weapon or mahkleb or other healing god, then they just die right there! Surely you must admit that is interesting enough on its own to be the basis for a species? God forbid you had a chance of losing in this...

It might be just me, but how come TRJ is the most cheeseable enemy in the game yet is the most interesting to fight? I think slime is fine as it is.

Have you seen the equipment/spell/god/skill selection on peoples' first wins? --Be? Chei? Thats legit playtesting for you.(i didnt check, so just wreck me if im wrong on this one) I will just go with my classic "i dont see the point of this race" opening line. Is it to force hybrid playst...

Axes are pretty good in Zot now that shifters decide where and how many you are going to fight.

Dire flails are also pretty easy to master.

So you do slime then tomb?
