Since the removal of weight and item destruction the game became much more simpler because of increasing the amount of panic buttons. When something is removed, it should be compensated with other new features, and the amount of cared items and their availability are not balanced anymore. There are ...

duvessa wrote:Why does it drain you at all? Can't flight just last until you reach safe terrain, without any extra penalties attached?

It would encourage players to stay on the water in locations like Shoals or Coccytus to save some potions of flight.

it's really not hard to figure this out if you ever play a fire elementalist Read the OP: It is said, that the Crawl should be intuitive. So I think everybody understands that "Water + Fire = Puff" Everybody understands that "Water + Electricity = Danger", but the effect of &quo...

Auxiliary armor is not a no-brainer. It balances races and mutations.

That's crazy talk. We should remove them. I do think that the removal is better. Because this mechanics does nothing but providing complications in battles on the water. It is also a no-brainer: I always carry a wand of flames for creating steam in Shoals to cut the LOS or insta-killing of electric...

I love the way of Crawl's progress. Simply because I love to be part of roguelike community but I hate this nerdy stuff like the main features of ADOM or NetHack. I hate thinking abouy each step that I do, because it's boring. I hate this stupid micromanagement, because I'm not a robot to remember a...

Magic rods were cool, they were unique magical artifacts that gave you access to cool new spells and drew from their own pool of regenerating power. They were fun - I enjoyed them. But most of them got completely axed and the few that remained became limited-use wands Magic rods have been removed c...

I have found a better solution. We can just edit the bolts' and other things' descriptions. It's simple and solves the problem completely.

UPD: The effects of the freezung and flame clouds on water or lava are discribed by pressing the "x" button. I apologise for forgeting about that. But other things remain as problem.

My previous thread was removed due to bad design, I'll try to do my best in a new one. Problem: Spells, abilities, cards and wands can generate clouds on the water. Steam clouds on the water: ⋅ All fire magic spells except sticky flame, delayed fireball (this spell only gives "abilty&...

I cannot understand, why Ely is in the list.

Before the removal of Haste these spell and wand were the only reason for me to choose other god than Chei. Now cheits outstand in damage-dealing capabilities great, because their inability to speed up doesn't matter any more. So I cannot imagine any reason to choose somebody else now. What do you t...

In sprint: TrTm of Chei.
In crawl: NaMo of Chei.

You are simply not too "dumb" to understand its usefullness.

are you sure about that

Amulet of Rage is much more dangerous than Trog's ability. You'll become exhausted with no option to continue strike.

I would argue that the problem is not that 'melee' is too strong, but that heavy armour is too good. I would argue that there are a little bit more "too good" melee-things in Crawl . ⋅ Axes. Cleaving with holy exec is similar to casting cleansing flame at 10-20 level of Invocs. ...

And the Orb teleports you back to D:1.

I tried to make a fridge and dropped some chunks in Coccytus, Ice Cave and also put some of them under a permanent freezing cloud in the main Dungeon. But they all have rotten away as fast as in other branches.

It's realy strange that nobody has noticed that problem before.

Possible solutions: 1. Allow to cast it only under 50% of HP, boost its power and make it 4 level. 2. Regen could temporary drain 1 point from Dex/ Str or Int. So nobody will want to recast it several times. 3. Regen can also be a permabuff but weak as an amulet of regen or a troll leather armour. A...

I knew that covenants could be only a temporary solution:

Redesign religions in covenants or something

We should find a better way to solve the problem together.

Elf lover wrote:Its not like now someone is really offended.

That you are not offended doesn't mean that nobody is offended.

Redesign religions in covenants or something. So nobody will be offended.

Just allow to cast it only under 30% HP.

How about giving a temporal Deterioration mutation on each cast of charms?

When the mutation is removed, then the charm effect also disappears.

Deterioration has three ranks, so we could stack three charms effect every time. It's a nice limitation to avoid casting of all available spells.

I think that HO should be removed entirely.

1. Beogh is boring and a little bit "offending".
2. 'Tolkien's lore, blablabla, HE-removal's reasoning".
3. HO don't have any interesting racial specialities.

Seriously? Are you too lazy to move your fingers from "o" and "tab"?

But I realy like your idea with mana reservation. It could solve all "problems" with buff spells.

Regeneration does have a big drawback. It is hated by good gods.

But I'm serious

It's quet boring to play a GrBe, DDFi or a MiFi. They are fucking unstoppable killing machines. I think that 0.20 is good time to fix this problem. How can we do that without removals? ⋅ Make berserkers mesmerised. It's realy obvious in terms of flavour and doesn't affect the game so much....

Remove HO and halflings.

How about innate Borgnjor's Revivification with smaller HP-loss but with draining effect?
