why not remove autoexplore while were at it? It's suboptimal and leads to autoexplore death. We really need to prevent people from playing suboptimally for convenience, am I right?

Let's also disable being able to skill multiple things at once because we need to hold people's hands.

Not only is it more skill efficient to round out your defenses, its actually better defensively too. If you've ever played a character with like 50 AC and single digit EV, you will notice extreme vulnerability to bolt spells and such. Shield is effective in reducing variability too, but doesn't help...

frozen rampart is too strong. Needs to lose the slow effect or irresistable part.

Foxfire: Mainly, the constant prompts that pop up when you move into it is incredibly annoying and tedious. Being unusable in corridors is secondary to the annoyance of the prompts. Just make it swappable. Also, it seems to spawn on top of allies or something and turns them hostile. Conjure flame: Y...

anytime a thread is made about something on tavern, one of the 3 posters will say it needs to be removed and they will thank each other. Its pretty amusing and annoying at the same time.

Plants don't fire when you are invisible. Bug I think.

it can't get any more tedious than this. And for what gain? 5 AC and swines lol. +1 LOS is a negative effect rather than a boon.

So is it a bug or intended behavior that oklobs become permanent at around 20 invo?

or just ignore them like a normal person

The spell is absurdly overtuned. Anyone who says its not overpowered never played around with it. You can pretty much kill every single thing except OOF, Alich and tentacle monstrousity in a 3rune game. And no, there isn't much danger when you funnel monsters around a corner or through a choke point...

Identification mini game isn't such a one dimensional annoyance that it should be removed. It tests players' decision making in the early game. You need to prioritize what to identify and leverage the RNG and decide if using an unidentified consumable is the play to make and when to make it.

All this talk about OOF damage and no one mentions their extreme tankyness. They are still quite dangerous with rf+++ as fighting one usually means you are fighting a bunch of other shit because they are loud af and you cant lure them very far. As far as rf is concerned, you never want to make signi...

The spell is really too strong. You can actually literally kill everything except like OOF, ancient lich and tentacled monstrousity in a 3 rune game with this spell. I probably missed some exceptions but those 3 are the only ones that comes to mind. This spell is better than confuse in a number of w...

I must have been high when I wrote that or something. It makes little sense lol. I guess I meant making all spells up to a given spell level available to learn at certain piety levels. Its a terrible idea actually. Ignore it

This is a spell that seems awesome on paper, but doesn't work too well in practice. The AOE might seem good, but it just as well prevents you from casting it cus these hasted foos get right up in your face. When you do get a cast off, they just rebuff. Technically, they wasted a turn, but buffed mon...

Sounds like a species where you micromanage nutrition for the entire game, just like vampire, but even worse because you have to carry backup equipment for different sizes. Re: evolution, the problem lies with crawl's mutation system. Mutations that barely do anything (like Str-2, AC+1, Horns 1) do...

I had a 15 rune Neme game and used stack 5 seven times (all on escape deck), triple draw 3 times (when I want a destruction shot but really don't want pain against undead or something), and deal 4 zero times. I draw destruction 144 times and summoning 81 times. Basically I played it the same way as ...

I don't think even native speakers can figure out whats bigger between major and significant. I had to look at badwiki for it.

or get 5 evo and one shot it with scattershot or couple acid shots

what about letting gnolls train all skills faster with any manual. They are generalists, so they can pick up general applications for any manual. They would use up manuals super fast though lol.

Ogre and Dr already fill the tanky caster role. If a new magic species is contemplated, it should add a new interesting mechanic. Maybe a species with combined HP/MP bar with spell vamp or something like that. MP refund is in essence just a MP buff. I don't see why spell casters need to be simplifie...

What if you can challenge an orc warlord to 1v1. Other orcs will form a circle around the battle and shout random stuff. If you win, they let you join.

I don't know if this qualifies for "bad", but in the course of going through all the minivaults, I found that there are still at least three vaults with hidden areas that have to be dug into, and have no transparent walls to indicate the existence of said hidden areas: nrook_guardian_serp...

By fiddling with ID scrolls, you are directly affecting early game difficulty. While its true that the early game is a lot more lenient these days, its still the hardest block of the game. Changes like this should be part of an overall game difficulty adjustment. Perhaps, every item could be identif...

polymetheus with 10% is surprising. Never found him particularly scary. He usually just gets petrified by the catalepus lol.

sack of spiders etc also. But where would they show the percentage for such items?

Why is this god so hard to worship? Its not even a strong god. If its to prevent people from easily getting the slime rune, make TRJ still fight jiyva worshippers. Its not like Mennas cares if you are a zin dude.

abuse stick to snakes i guess. Tm are spread thin in terms of experience early on and Ds bad aptitudes dont help. Its not the easiest combo so dont feel too bad

This is more of a popularity chart than anything. The data set is so restrictive that a handful of players can affect the outcome so much. If you take out Berder and Dynasts Wn streak, what would happen? DsWn is probably 80% my games. Was Wn actually the best class to streak with? Or was it used by ...

ive never considered exp loss when deciding to summon shit. Its inconsequential. Removing the penalty would please the people that are really into that sort of thing so might as well do it. Its not like summons are OP these days since they cant fight off screen. Sure it will make pure summoners a bi...

Get rid of all brands from thrown. Get rid of blowgun and all needles except poison and curare and turn those into darts. All ammo mulches and you get bigger stacks to compensate. Stick to snake uses more arrows.

saying mid/late game is harder because you lose patience and cant think is such an absurd point of argument. Of course the threats become harder as you go along, but your char outscales that difficulty in the vast majority of the cases. Even if you have a bad game and falling behind the curve, you a...

TSO is notably better than all others, but dith, gozag, oka, usk, ru, ash, kiku are about as good as Mak/veh in extended. Others are less good but still doable. Only fedhas and yred really doesnt offer anything. Your equipment/spells matter more in tryining to do extended anyways.

crimson imp gives good exp for free though

maybe not unplayable, but very annoying to play. The fact that the power of the god is modulated by inventory issues is bad design according to crawl philosophy (at least my understanding of it). Stacking decks should be the priority and all other aspects designed around it.

problem with the spell is that it just does too much damage. Afaik the dmg was nerfed but it seems it wasnt enough. The fact that spell does comparable damage to conjurations while also stopping almost all monsters makes it really OP. Imagine if alisters intoxication was irresistable to 95% of monst...

give a permanent deck of destruction at 1*, summoning at 3*, and escape at 5*. Then have him gift additional cards randomly instead of more decks. Change deal 4 to something else.

searing ray is pretty baller though. But yea.. vehumets gifts are pretty much always useless because they lag behind the difficulty curve until way later in the run. Book starts will ignore all the low lvl gifts and non book starts will have a terrible time until they get fireball or something.

dont fly in shaols unless you need to cross water. Stay on land. Flying makes you autoexplore useless areas and often puts you out of position where merfolks can swim fast and cut off paths to retreat safely. Also, it can lead to situations like this i guess. And wind drakes airstikre hurts more. In...

how do you guys play this game if you expect the starting kit to take care of every threat for the whole game? It's more like, if I pick VM I'm praying to find a different attack spell just to be able to handle Lair. Most dangerous monsters in lair are immune to the entire starter book, other than ...

yea but you are gonna be relying on a god. xxVM can also worship mak for acid shots and minor demon

how do you guys play this game if you expect the starting kit to take care of every threat for the whole game?

poison arrow in book of power seems like a good change. That spell is too damn rare. I disagree with everything else though. VM is strong.

riposte is actually pretty decent 8n the early game

Please fix ignite blood suppression while worshiping dith since he doesnt care about fire now

I think the game crashed when pushed up arrow instead of down on vestibule portal. It may have something to do with a LUA script that prevents pushing < > accidently and going up and down the stairs. Anyways now when i try to play nothing happens and im stuck in lobby. I hope the game isnt lost cus ...

the option 2 on OPs post is what i would like to see. The search from spell library is great, but that is one more key press. Why not just show the spell in normal search too and indicate that its from your library, and let you memorize directly from there if so. Edit: Main problem is the current si...

why does fedhas oklobs not shoot enemies if you are invisible? Seems like a bug since they fight just fine even outside your LOS.

giving piety on demon kills and reducing piety cost of pain mirror should be fine. It would turn him into a god of pain mirror and enslave cerobov in extended. Not amazing, but not useless considering yred is the single strongest god in a 3 rune game.
