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...

SpEn^Ash. Great combo, even for a new player.

Lasty wrote:Edit: so far, no one has won.

Now you've made me want to try to win this with a spriggan. I'm not sure that would provide any useful feedback, though.

Staves of energy, wizardry, power, conjurations, and summoning should be changed to confirm on attacking, like attacking barehanded or with a ranged weapon. No need for an inscription.

dowan wrote:Why is anyone posting in this thread after Lasty obviously already won it 2 years ago?

I wasn't there 2 years ago to thank it, so this necromancy is for the best.

That one was far enough later that it was in a different blog post. And I guess the stinger one will be in the next post.

This has already happened.

The smallest part of the potions is the stat bonus, Wow, I've spent months thinking all they did was +5 [stat]. might: +1d10 melee damage and 5 Strength. agility: Provides temporary Dex, EV, and stealth bonuses. brilliance: Temporarily increases intelligence and spell power, and provides a wizardry...

Use Vitalization when those annoying guys that give you sickness in the Abyss show up, and when fighting several high-level mummies in Tomb. If you don't have rPois, use Vitalization when poisoners show up. Etc. Protects you from sickness, poison, confusion, petrification, rot and stat drain while ...

The main reason to master a skill is to have your character be called "the Ninja", "the Skullcrusher", "the Infernalist", etc. (This means that maxing Invocations is often not the right decision, since the Invo title is based on piety.)

The chessboard should be shortened to 6 rows.

The strange thing about formicids is how they have almost nothing in common with the ants that are in the game other than the 6 legs. If formicids are ants, I'd think ants would have stasis, or ants would be able to dig, or formicids would have a poison bite instead of just +3 poison magic apt.

But Haste was removed.

What will be removed next? Tab? Everything else?!

Too bad there is so much wrong with this, the conclusions are not terribly off (AE is better than VM mostly), but there is enough just straight up wrong or misleading information here that i am just not going to bother correcting it, it is just too depressing. Fine, I'll correct a few: http://crawl...

Staff > "Is it really your highest spell skill, including Spellcasting?" is gone now, too.

TL;DR: High Elves stole the best wands on their way out; sandblast requires rocks in inventory like sticks to snakes Remove wands of heal wounds The top-tier wands (heal wounds, hasting, and teleportation) all share multiple problems. They all provide effects that work best in a limited form (as per...

Increase Mummy spellcasting apt, decrease Nec apt As an alternative to the existence of Ogres as a race with an aptitude pattern of high spellcasting but low spell schools, instead let Mummies take more advantage of their High Elf heritage, with +1 Spellcasting apt. Also significantly decrease thei...

If you've been living under a rock (and by that I mean not visiting CYC, which is probably a good thing) for a week: Remove High Elves High elves were a relatively uninteresting species in terms of gameplay, feeling somewhat like tengu but with weapon specialization like merfolk. Their theme origina...

Once a month, someone asks how mummies use a blowgun. The answer is always a bladder. For the sake of realism balance, unbreathing species should not be able to use blowguns. Mummies are supposed to be a "challenge race" or something, so any nerf to them is a good thing that makes them cl...

Siegurt wrote:Didn't we do that once already?

Hi Siegurt.

CYC threads are unreliable for getting things removed. I'm sure this method will work sooner or later. It worked for food, right?

If the ability to wield GCs/GSCs counts as unique, then so should the ability to worship Beogh (and that's a lot more interesting than the headbutt).

With the recent removal of Ogres' Maces & Flails aptitude, giant spiked clubs serve no purpose for players. The change says " [ogres are] still uniquely able to make the most of GSCs " but that's not really true. Trolls have the same M&F apt as Ogres now, and, just like Ogres, can ...

Is there any reason this option shouldn't be on by default, then?

into "Evocables". Distribution is 1/8 chance of getting a rod, else coinflip for wand or misc evocable. This maybe needs further adjustment. I feel like this is worth a thread because of the standard "acquire wand for haste/HW" advice, which is now obsolete. Staff acquirement ha...

Late, but all tiers. SpEn^Ash was my first ever win (offline). It's a great combo and a great god for it.

P.S. you should re-use this challenge for the Mummy week

Another improvement over regular Crawl!

I don't think the example in the OP means much, unless the little bit of damage from moving once with barbs would be enough to have made you die, since once you've killed the stuff on top, you could just wait a few turns to take the barbs out, then go back down. (and yes, Shoals only makes any sense...

do people normally do a different rune branch,like Slime Slime and Abyss are just as much "third runes" as Vaults:5, and which one you do as your third rune depends on which you prefer and what your character is like. Maybe it's a little off topic, but I do think "don't" is the ...

I thanked Shard's post for the first half. You don't need to exploit to kill your own followers to play Beogh. My experience with Beogh (all back in 0.18 though) has been that even if you try to keep the priests/wizards alive, they still die. The warriors>knights>warlords, the only ones who can stay...

I won one game with Okawaru but he is not listed in my stats, why? You have to become the Champion of your god. You never reached ****** piety under Okawaru ( it would be in the notes in your morgue ). For purposes of these points we say that a player wins with a god if she reaches full (******) pi...

FR: Make TSO hate it when you cause confusion, but allow hitting the confused if you are not the cause. Right now, if I understand correctly, TSO doesn't mind when you hex someone and run away. Why should this be changed to solve a different problem? Why not have TSO stop you from performing the fo...

There are also cases where you can end up turning an ally hostile without even knowing what happened. I had a recent game where I used a Nemelex summoning deck, got two Wyverns, one fell through a shaft, the others started attacking me. At no point did I use any AoE abilities or attack the second w...

Sometimes the game just wants you to win. MuFE: a ring of magical power You found it on level 1 of the Dungeon. a +5 ring of dexterity You found it on level 1 of the Dungeon. a (was +1) robe of fire resistance (remember, mummy) You took it off an orc wizard on level 3 of the Dungeon. a ring of wizar...

Lamp of fire doesn't summon anything anymore, which means it's nearly useless outside of a corridor (if it misses it's done nothing useful and is now inert, and it usually misses), and very good in a corridor (it can't miss, so your enemy will be standing in a cloud of flame for the whole fight).

If you use reddit, you can find a team through this.

The same can be said about any other magic school or even melee, ranged and evocations. Not really. Melee works against everything Ranged works against everything Evocations works against everything and has a lot more uses than just damaging things while some don't even require a single drop of exp...

Being fast and poisonous makes Adders dangerous enough. I really struggle to understand why they have such high EV on top of that. It's not really intuitive either. When I started playing, it seemed intuitive that a snake would be difficult to hit (the narrow shape, strange way of moving, and being...

It looks to me like the weapon's brand being chaos is around fourth or fifth on the list of reasons not to do that.

TSO is actualy good in a 3 rune game once you get enough piety for angelic warriors. The halo is also slightly useful with terrible early game accuracy. He seems kinda like ash to me in that he takes a long time to get your piety up but is rather strong once you hit ****** Zin is also quite useful ...
