How is it even plural? One person made a comment about draco and dpeg came in on a soapbox.

Edit. 2 I think I found the posts you were referring to. It might be useful if you'd link those? Or if they're too horrible for the masses to see, at least PM 'em to mods. (Or were they on SA?) If the Tavern (GDD in particular) is driving devs away from contributing, that is bad. I'm not sure that'...

ie this is such a serious issue that it threatens the very fabric of GDD itself.

dpeg is over on the SA thread whining that redacted has been driven from crawl development because someone was mean on the internet (and by mean, I mean they made a single post complaining about a death). Is this true?

Not in chain mail. (and its 21 even in a robe)

if this doesn't deserve a entry into badforum right now, I don't know which could qualify.

Yeah, siprus I'd definitely suggest getting on the haste bandwagon, it is pretty much THE spell for "melee based charm users".

Having had the opportunity to use this in game a few times now, I'm really liking the new vorpalise.

Hello. Not sure where to put this, so I hope this is the right spot. I just have a simple question, I am playing a Spriggan Enchanter and my Dagger started with a weird notation with it. It's listed as "+1 dagger {=f}" and I have no idea what the {=f} means, so I don't know if I should sw...

Moose wrote:Any reason we don't have altar mimics?

They are available for use in vaults, but don't just get randomly placed afaik. I guess because altars are usually part of an overflow vault or in the temple maybe.

e: can't say anything nice, so i wont say it at all

It makes more sense when you come to understand that the central tenet of crawl 0.13 design was to balance the removal of nausea by making literally every other facet of the game harder and more annoying.

Finish Lair or head to Orc, stay the hell away from Snake Pit for now.

dck: I am still astonished by your ability to perpetually make absolute statements like this. Hunger may not mean much in Crawl but try Rogue or Brogue to see what a strong balancing mechanic it can be. In fact, Crawl hunger does mean something for casters. There has been an actual discussion about...

Draconian shifters have it also.

I feel like as long as its properly counterbalanced with a sanctimonious rant all is right with the world.

daggaz wrote:I just mean its a giant hassle to have to switch slots out all the f-ing time.

Yeah, this is my least favorite part of extended (and to a lesser extent even the late portion of a three rune game)

Using tiles version. What about the creatures with a question mark? Can I assume hostile, or do I need to wait before I attack? What about sleeping creatures? If they are demons, ghosts, or other undead, I *assume* I can simply attack. But what about sentient & non-sentient living beings that a...

Monks can use whatever. Zin followers can use/cast anything that's not evil/necro, if its something that Zin doesn't want you using/learning it'll show up in red on the menu screens and I think for most things you'll get a prompt before you do something that'll piss Zin off. 99.9% of creatures are h...

GDD is at its best when its being unintentionally hilarious, anyway.

ASCII dongs? Not in my GDD! There is feeling afoot for more dev participation in GDD with, as a consequence, much tighter moderation of threads posted there. Some devs will be given mod powers. Please see this thread: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=11&p=123323#p123323 Yes, that...

No, usually Pan first.

ASCII dongs? Not in my GDD!

nordetsa wrote:I've read a post about somewhere that in 0.13 player gets hungrier faster because nausea was removed. Is this true?

Contaminated chunks now provide less nutrition, so you'd get hungry faster after eating one. There's no change to hunger rate that I'm aware of, though.

ajon wrote:IS there a good way to handle the health issue without going Makhleb as DD?

Trog, but that kind of kills the whole casting spells part. Ely would probably be manageable.

ajon wrote:Oh so its just a more straightforward way of showing the requirement?

Not really.

Cloaks with wing holes.

ajon wrote: Do they miss the possible resistances offered from robes

Depending on what color you get in the draconian lottery you'll pick up a resistance there.

b - the +9,+6 long sword "Tristian's Peril" (weapon) {drain, Str+1}
(You found it on level 1 of the Spider Nest)

A truly terrible weapon

At this phase in the game, that's a pretty accurate statement.

Really, the thing this thread makes me think is "mindelay is a disproportionately important psychological thing" and that maybe it should not be a thing for that reason alone. It encourages people to think about skill training in a way that I think is unintended. This isn't GDR though, mi...

If you have enough skill, your failure rate doesn't go up. Looking at the shield should tell you "Becoming more skilled with this shield can help you cast spells and dodge attacks better" or "Becoming more skilled with this shield will not help you cast spells and dodge attacks."...

daggaz wrote:Since you are missing 1 point of str

That's not how it works in 0.13

And no nausea or stabbing skill.

Same as the old Vault 8.

crate wrote:I actually assumed this was a joke topic poking fun at some other things that have been posted on tavern recently when I first saw it.

Rule of Amnesiac: Never attribute to irony that which could just be horrible posting.

I'd do a few more levels of the main dungeon then Vaults 1-4.

We're elitist, all thousands of us.

It was probably spriggan baker. The wiki is aware of them.

Amnesiac wrote:this game is not for pussies

fo rizzle gangsta

I agree, the only argument against that I can see is that now there is a minor decision point if you are read-id'ing and have both vorpalize and at least one of the enchant weapon scrolls un-id'd.

My paradox is loving both this post and this thread.

Is that sabre worth enchanting up?

Can't (artefact)

Oh wow, I hope that isn't going to slow down your posting here.

I'm rather new to Dungeon crawl, but am really enjoying the game so far. However, after hundreds of dead characters I have never collected a rune yet. I always seem to stumble upon a large group of orc wizards and priests or some strong unique early on, and even which usually happens before or arou...
