Do all forms of regeneration affect hunger rate? Here is what I believe: Regenerating due to wearing troll leather armour or an amulet of regen or other item increases hunger, stackingly. Regenerating due to absorbing nearby life force from Demonic Mutation should not affect hunger. Having the "...

They won't time out; you must reject. Reject sooner rather than later.

I take down a floor, then ctrl-f "." to see what landed there. In the list, I'll see "glowing short sword" highlighted in blue, but "antimagic dagger" will not be highlighted. Even though I don't know the slay amount to the antimagic dagger, shouldn't it be highlighted ...

Duvessa's fix seems good. I'd like to point out that avoiding the stacking thing specifically might be beneficial. Like, instead of "3 lamps of fire", have "lamp of fire +2" (if you pick up another one, it becomes 'lamp of fire +3'). To me, this seems somewhat less weird than ha...

I've been killed by the enraged Dowan icicle before. Also Dowan carries the power grudge longer than his sister. She'd be more of a challenge if she could re-enrage after the cool down period.

Any that can cast enslave early on, which is now none of them.

correct horse battery staple

I'm somewhat surprised that no one has complained about Vine Stalker, Gargoyle or Formicid.

I did play 2 or 3 floors of online tiles once, and I noped right out of that. Lag, and a less friendly interface? No thanks.

CBRO is much less laggy.

Somehow it's expected for one to write their undergraduate thesis on video gaming if one's last name is Kong.

So far the most helpful (to the unspoiled) thing in this thread that anyone has come up with is when XuaXua recommended increasing the accuracy of the game manual documentation.

make stats less spoilery--clearer to new players which stats they should invest in for which characters. Much of this can be resolved by having the game manual provide a less vague list of what each Attribute does. Searching on "Strength", "Dexterity" and "Intelligence"...

Game design, even of the sort that GDD has, is not something that should be done by vote. This was a poll attempting to gather feedback, possibly from those who would rather not post a reply to a thread (clicking a radio button is much easier than typing a response); it was never an attempt to dete...

There are others who can build on this.

No one would ever use it if it chanced to corrode yourself. Even with +rCorr, is still a chance of corrosion against standard corrosive attacks.

A more "bound" Ash would be better thematically.

I imagined Gozag to be a golden, heavy hog-beast, but draped in resplendent finery.

Burma Shave.

Perhaps consider making it 3 floors, but reducing the number of up/down stairs to 2 bi-direction + 1 one-way. Why would you limit stairs? We don't for any other 3-floor branch. For reasons of accessibility. The bottom floors of other 3-floor branches (Crypt, Elf) don't have runes to protect, but ha...

Bear a coat of arms.

At this time, it is confusing to the unspoiled who encounter evokers after the first; there is nothing (text or otherwise) to indicate that it is sub-optimal to pick it up and carry it alongside your first identical evoker, even with the fact that it's listed as discharged.

On topic, I've just played a game with 4 floors and I felt that by the time I reached floor 3 of each level, I wanted to be done already. 4 floors is still tedious, but 3 floors is probably just enough. Perhaps consider making it 3 floors, but reducing the number of up/down stairs to 2 bi-direction ...

I think reducing overall monster XP rewards and adding a mechanic that rewarded exploration/discovery with XP (scaled to depth) would be interesting, especially for non-combat builds. At worst, having a god ability that applied this mechanic might be interesting. The pre-generated floor could take 2...

Might want to re-vote because I put an OTHER up there and it reset the votes.

I voted 3 because I'm trying them out right now and I gotta say, while I like 4 floors more than 5 floors, by the time I'm on floor 3, I'm ready to have ended it.

duvessa wrote:where are the 1 and 0 floor options (also you are in the wrong subforum)

This was not an attempt at comedy.
I was trying to keep it alongside the in-depth discussion thread.

I made a poll thread to help try and keep the feedback topical.

Serious attempt at a poll for some sort of statistical feedback rather than pulling out of discussion.

If you plan to try them out, don't answer the poll till you have.

Note: "resources" are XP, Equipment, Challenge, Reward, Food

It makes sense for the name; then-again, there have been times when design has moved towards less logically flavorful...

I say if you're doing that, then do the same for Staff of X. I've never found a need for more than one enhancer staff of the same type.

No +rC?

Ugh. I hate when I have to dive Pan.

So, Scroll of Immolation, then?

Once I understood the Orb Run, I pre-explored all stairs for autotravel maximization, and blocked off any stairs that led up to dead ends. Sometimes, I used wands of digging/disintegration to resolve those pesky swirly staircase entrances.

Is it advantageous to carry more than one of the same summoning evocable (Lamp of Fire, Phial of Floods, Stone of Tremors) type, since they all empty together? If there is an advantage, it is not listed in the item description. If there isn't one, it might be helpful to add text similar to "All...

There is also something to be said about the Runes giving out XP and balancing around that, but perhaps that is outside the scope of this thread. I think reducing overall monster XP rewards and adding a mechanic that rewarded exploration/discovery with XP (scaled to depth) would be interesting, esp...

3) All tiles are the same, there are no tiles where you get +/- AC or +/- EV or +/- MR or even something as cardinal as +/-action speed or have a chance to waste a turn etc. The only good example of this is a water tile as a Merfolk (or Octopode?) player. Having these sort of tiles increases proble...

Rebuilding that piety after each death is going to be a pain in the ass.

Always wear finger cots before typing.

I'm playing a DDNe in trunk right now, and I had to leave an Orc portal due to lack of necromantic resources (bodies). I'm feeling the weak.

Wands of enslavement still exist.

Why hasn't this thread been promoted to GDD yet?

Lacks HexLOS.

Unless they require shield training or are sized like shields, call them "fields". Consistency.

Lab has the best all-around rewards, and if you prep for the minotaur, you can usually take him. Be aware that he uses the rewards. Volcano usually only has fire-branded and rF+ stuff; sometimes you get lucky, other times you get one of those two iterations that either destroy all the floor items or...
