Search • The Tavern

Recite is already pretty heavily overloaded as an ability that does so many different things, even after being simplified a little recently. I'm not sure that adding even more to it would be a good idea.

Should be fixed now, CAO is rebuilding: https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=8204

I use equip_unequip and haven't ever had a problem with the idea of making it the default.

Crystal guardians have existed as a vault redefine of crystal golems for a while, those are what the out-of-date LearnDB refers to (the new non-vault-redefined crystal guardians were based on them).

Acidic bite hasn't been suppressed for a while. Having green dracs keep the stinger seems fine too.

Unstickied this since Fsim now does a pretty good job for weapon damage (and it appears to be out-of-date).

The last one of these was locked and the reasons there seem likely to apply here too. Small threads to ask a simple question are fine. Renamed the thread rather than locking it since this one seems to mostly only have one topic so far.

This seems to have been pretty adequately discussed.

The < should be there if you want to pick them up, it marks them as an inclusion rather than an exclusion.

See readme (multiple suggestions in one thread, no reasoning).

For what it's worth I still think having a Counsellor group is a pretty bad idea too, yes.

I'm pretty sure the travel back on the orbrun is an intended part of the map and is usually pretty challenging since as you said, fiends and panlords aren't likely to be easy for a lot of characters even in Sprint.

How about: 1.) All scrolls ID upon reading. 2.) Scrolls of curse foo never generate randomly. 3.) For Ash, praying over remove curse scrolls destroys them, and replaces them with scrolls of curse foo. However, more than one scroll of curse foo can be generated from each scroll of remove curse, such...

This thread probably isn't going anywhere productive at this point. Lamia is currently unlikely to return, although there have been some discussions in IRC of ideas for other Snake uniques which may or may not surface in the future.

There's a (very old) devwiki proposal vaguely along these lines, where piety becomes a much more limited resource that you spend: https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php? ... se:summons

A general note that applies to a lot of people in this thread: avoid responding to off-topic or unhelpful posts as this is likely to make the thread even less useful. Instead use the "Report" button. Thanks!

A bunch of posts had an accident, rip. Consider the cases for and against adding more visual feedback on Shadow Mimic thoroughly made.

I believe this is fixed now, and the servers have been updating (not sure if they are all done yet but presumably they will be after not too long).

There was a mistake when merging some commits into trunk that caused save compatibility issues and these crashes. I've not been following the details, it sounds a little complex to fix though. I'll try and remember to post here when it's fixed.

Closing since this is way off topic now (and the topic has been addressed: a flavour message might be fine, but not a gameplay effect).

Sounds like this bug which was just fixed, it should work again once the builds are updated.

Unfortunately no, I don't think the Korean server is an official server. If the games you play don't show up on your profile (http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/players/headcrab0803.html), it won't work. Maybe try posting a thread in the Technical Support forum to see if there's any way you can play...

I don't really have a strong opinion on this generally but 2) is sort of a non-argument here since that is an independent problem which needs to be fixed anyway (and still exists if Temple is removed). Certainly the other stuff might be relevant though.

A lot of the code related to this stuff (branches, mon-pick) was refactored and made a lot more flexible recently, and there was a patch making vault definitions handle branch changes more gracefully too. I don't really see something like this being added as an official feature any time soon, but I ...

The balance of this specific combination is probably not a big issue, and I expect umbra's stealth boost in general will be adjusted if that turns out to be necessary. It's certainly a pretty weird hidden interaction that umbra (and corona for that matter) are affected by LOS radius, though. http://...

That commit only touches blood, potions other than blood and porridge don't give nutrition.

Split some advice stuff (shield vs two-hander) from GDD.

Not sure how detailed action_counts should get since it still needs to be readable, but distinguishing sling and blowgun ammo seems like something that would be added if somebody made a patch, yeah.

I don't see "no noisy things" making for a great conduct. Being noisy is already a bad thing generally, and in addition to that it's penalised further when worshipping Dith (you can't shadow step to things if you've woken them up by being noisy). The fire/light conduct was already simplifi...

I added a couple of points to the existing readme (seems fine to just have one thread for it), with some of pubby's suggestions from the other thread too. Can edit/add to it if there are more ideas, yeah.

A thing was suggested, a developer said "nope this thing isn't happening".

You Must Read This Before Posting in GDD

"Blind drawing from decks sometimes has bad effects" is in fact a pretty common theme of decks, so no, that's not a problem or a reason to change it either.

Closing this.

Dungeon generation shouldn't depend on the player. Acquirement items in vaults are the only place this happens as far as I'm aware (these are okay in some rare places but even those shouldn't be acquirement-based the vast majority of the time), and messing with terrain generation is far more intrusi...

Well if he'd done it right he would've just put it right on mantis without involving the tavern at all. I assume he came in here for the free thanks (and probably snarky comments) like the rest of us. It's not a bug, so Mantis is not the right place for it and it would have been closed. (Unless you...

Fixed (but yeah, please report these on Mantis, more developers read that than here).

Here's a list that's not based on a bad (deliberately, I guess) poll, you should play these instead! Four Scepters I remember being neat, also 86856527 is really good. Also there's a followup post on the Ascii Dreams blog listing the smaller roguelikes that got a noticeable number of votes - this s...

See the readme thread for some guidelines on posting threads in GDD.

Also here's an old thread on vaguely the same topic with some explanations (which would mostly still apply even if the proposal there wasn't unbelievably complicated) on why it is probably a bad idea anyway.

The previous thread on this exact same topic was Yiufed for a reason yes.

(Also the reason it is a bad idea has been pretty clearly explained now too).

Yes, this is why I was asked to stop posting in GDD: monsters are balanced based on Haste. Orb of Fire came into view? Haste yourself. Are about to enter Cerebov's vault? Haste yourself. Going to Shatter rune vault? Haste yourself. Going to steal a rune by cBlink/apportation and teleport? Haste you...

If calling people out for basing their arguments on deliberate misrepresentation of somebody else's words makes me spiteful and a prick then there's no hope for us all. Tiktacy can consider this a warning for making a bad thread even worse with personal insults I guess.

Merry Christmas!

more stuff Maybe just stop posting in GDD? Like, there are a lot of bad posts here but yours are about as worthless as it gets since not only are they completely irrelevant to the actual discussion of whether a change is needed and what that change should be if so, they continue to deliberately mis...

After reading comments for that mantis ticket I suspect that the patch won't be accepted :( The reason is simple - monsters are balanced based on Haste effect. Expecting that everyone uses the spell is a clear indication of something wrong with the spell. You can use Polearms or Long Swords or Cros...

Fixed, I assume it's just a remnant of + being the default in the distant past as crate mentioned.

See PM!

Well I was going to split out all the "which draconian is best" discussion and leave behind any actual discussion of potential changes to yellow draconians but it turns out there isn't any of that. Feel free to carry on here.

Me too.

https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9336&p=128173 "Pieces of fruit" could be a single item type using the speech database for messages like pizza does. Presumably the flavour message for strawberries/grapes/sultanas would be "a handful of <whatever>" to ju...
