I cleared my entire rc file, and it's still happening. I'm playing on underhound.eu:8080

I saw there is a new QoL feature with the new quiver, but I can't see how to use it. Starting a game as a Palentonga, I've quivered the Rolling Charge action, but how do I use it? If I try 'p' I get the error message _Lua error: ...-master/crawl-git-9b92081034/data/dat/dlua/macro.lua:38: Unknown fun...

with us being able to chose the seed now, you can start a character, wiz-mode it to level 27, then start a new character with the same seed if you like the mutations. you can't pick-and-chose mutations, and getting any particularly specific combination of mutations will still require large amounts o...

Having a couple of 'free' summons and hanging back might well be worth it. Especially with the recent removal of staves of energy ( :cry:

)

The summons should definitely unsummon when you switch weapon.

I'd also gamble with the teleport trap

Your gear isn't particularly good, but it's understandable for this phase of the game. I'd probably use the +10 artefact sword instead of the +1 great sword - it's true you don't benefit from being a formicid ability to wield a 2hander 1handed, but the extra accuracy would be really helpful. Especia...

The flip side could be that the skill requires light armour to work, allowing for heavier ones as it increases, or will be broken by loud/flashy spells (again, higher levels could allow you to dampen those). This sounds a lot like passwall-aided sleep stabbing. Needs light armour, needs more magic ...

Could allowing people to sign up with a google / FB account work? I honestly don't know how much work it would be, or how effective, but I know some other sites do it. I understand Google / FB block most automatically generated accounts. PS: not that I'm in general in favour of increasing G&FB's...

most of these look like good ideas / advice / rules of thumb for beginners some of these are, or will soon be, outdated: Your ability to fight is only affected once you are near starving (food is removed) There is no reason not to possess these; Lamp of fire, Phial of Floods, A Lightning Rod, and a ...

you guessed it

I really hope they can come up with another high-level utility spell, if CB was too 'boring' and 'predictable'

sounds like sand dwarfs (bcrawl)

Hex-less stabbing is possible with throwing support (for darts), though passwall is also extremely valuable to sleep-stabbers. However, even if hex-less stabbing is fun (I think it is) it is always tempting to switch to a brute-force style, because of perma-death. Dith doesn't support needles, so it...

Don't know if this is wise, but lets discuss some recent fixedart changes: Majin-Bo now gives all your spells vampirism instead of giving archmagi. Casting spells still costs hp. -This sounds really fun. It might even be worth giving up a shield slot for. I'm really hoping I'll find it before invest...

The god that gives health each time you kill something is Mahkleb. You can actually play with him.

Better MP regen makes extended -to me- a lot less tedious. Instead of going into every fight thinking "Is 6mp for Iron shot worth it? It's kinda sorta popcorn. Maybe I should bash it with my sword/stick/axe. Maybe health is more important now. If I try to bash it I could get hit. I don't know. ...

Hellmonk wrote:if evoking the staff gives average mp equal to your natural mp regen rate, it's still faster to swap and evoke when below half mp,

I think you misread the OP.
He said to drain mp when the staff is unequipped.

A staff of energy does a lot more than MPregen+ though. MRregen+ gives 0.2 mp/turn, whereas a staff of energy gives about 2mp/turn (just guessing based on what it felt like). I've always found myself leaning heavily on staves of energy in Hell & Pan, and other regions where you can't stairdance ...

not sure about (b), but (a) would certainly be nice.

On a troll I might. You have 30% extra hp anyway

Probably I'd do it if I was a giant rock chucker, and probably I wouldn't if I was relying on the claws.

I honestly don't experience a difficulty spike at all. The only spike I hit is the end of D where I get bored of the character and stop paying attention XD TBH I'm now a somewhat decent player (recently completed a lairless DelverDs ), so maybe I wouldn't notice the difficulty spike. Your guide look...

Just go down the down-stair you can reach, then later go up from that level. No need for hatches.

I think it's only Zot where controlled blinking is blocked.

Well thanks for telling me.
Maybe this vault should be redesigned :shock:

Screenshot from 2020-07-26 20-19-14.png Any way to reach the hidden shopping area? I already checked all the hatches & trapdoors on the up and down floor. There was 1 temporary teleport trap, which I tried. I could read tele until it works, but I doubt it'll be worth it. I wouldn't even have kn...

ah sorry. I didn't realise there was a closed door on the other side.

You can also summon Imps and try to get them to open the door whilst out of your LOS.

Probably I'd go with the *drain -Tele item though.

just walk on top of the dispersal trap. There's always a chance you'll be blinked to the other side.

I've stolen plenty of runes, and never had trouble with a Panlord I left alive. With most characters stealing the runes is the easiest way to get a 15-rune win. You just need Apportion. I do think often 1 or 2 of the hells are less risky than Pan, just because you know what you're facing and you can...

I actually found having to press ee every once in a while helpful. It gave me a feel for how much time I was spending.

This proposal sounds quite similar to the hell-crawl clock.
I hate that clock. One of the main reasons I don't play Hellcrawl very often.

Sometimes a floor takes a little longer. It feels nasty to be unable to finish a floor.

Once you have a demon trident, I can't fathom why you'd want to wait with enchanting it. Especially when the brand is poison. Feel free to rebrand it later in Zot. If harm makes the game more fun for you, it'll probably keep you safe. If you find the fragility annoying it's putting you in danger. Es...

you can already find documentation on https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commit/5ea7c316c7901324d06cec956d2991ed13ab690b and a bit more documentation spread throughout github. PS: I know KoBe feels different from MiBe, but now it feels simply inferior. FeBe still has the speed advantage, but unlimited b...

I would have preferred if berserk still had hunger cost, and gourmand still allowed eating corpses. For one thing it would make FeBe & KoBe feel distinct from MiBe. Trolls and Felids rampaging through the dungeon and cannibalising the dungeon citizens also felt very flavourful. For another thing...

Personally I didn't really mind seeing the value of my XL 25 win slowly deteriorate, but that might have been different if I'd had top rank at some point.

One small gripe with the presentation: A lot of us got one rank 1 (for winning) and nothing major besides that. This is fine. The gripe is that all our scores look like 6 hundred something. I managed to get a rank 5 but it was almost invisible to the naked eye. (Technically I did get above 700, but ...

I've got a DDEE^evy, my 4th character in a streak. I survived the early game without losing mp so the rest should be ok. Now I'd ideally like to go Shatter + Crystal spear for flying enemies. The only new earth spell I have found is Crystal spear in a shop @1656 gold, but I have found 2 manuals of s...

WRT monsters with 60% swim speed and such things: I'm fairly certain that a monster will only move when it has 10* energy, regardless of how much energy its action costs. The behaviour of the Juggernaut proofs this pretty definitively. (It has a long period of inactivity after attacking.) *actually ...

Turn : The most ambiguous of crawl's time nouns, a turn is typically considered to be 10 auts, but this is NOT consistent. Standard races move at 10 auts, and many actions also cost 10 auts, such as casting a spell, using scrolls/potions, etc. But, many other actions don't cost 10 auts: nearly all ...

Pan Lords do tend to be a bit tame... though zigurat divers might disagree

Regarding giving whirlwind an EV bonus: seems to me the game already asks you to trade off improved offense vs improved defense in many places (shields, harm, spells vs armour, casting in armour vs archmagi). I think it would be good if something were said about about how this proposal does somethi...

You can try burning the trees, but you might well have to give up on this rune. There's usually stone behind the trees. In this situation I'd probably decide to get Abyss / Slime after your 2nd rune.

so my initial proposal dealt with both of these, so perhaps it wasn't clear enough. It was: 1. get 8 EV when using a wu-attack AND 2. get 15 EV when moving (without wu-attack) (of course numbers can be adjusted if they're too big) this way: it's never encouraged to drag a weak monster along, and the...

I'll suggest another defensive debuff for wu: The player gets extra EV when using martial attacks. As a result monsters miss more often :) I recall the devs thought 15EV was too much (hence they blocked the amulet of the acrobat on wu-attacks) but maybe +8EV could be balanced. Also I'd like to see ...

When I play Wu I tend to wirlwind all the time, because you can deal damage whilst slowly backing away, and you can deal pseudo-cleaving damage. The only positional disadvantage is not being able to use kill-holes. TBH this does really hurt, taking 2x damage whilst dealing 1.6x damage isn't very goo...

I can't see any reason to prefer min(5, 2 + pow / 100 + random2(pow / 50 + 1)) over min(5, 2 + div_rand_round(pow, 100) + random2(div_rand_round(pow, 50) + 1)

I think I like 1 + random2(div_rand_round(pow, 25) + 1) most. It's nice when some spells scale quadratically with spellpower.

and I won it :) https://underhound.eu/crawl/morgue/petercordia/morgue-petercordia-20200615-173435.txt One of my first <XL27 wins I dived V:1-3 and Depths and Zot, and losing half my XP due to distortion & allies certainly 'helped' It strikes me how much easier this was than it would have been wi...

Further tiny mistake on the site: "Your overall rank is the average of points gained across all 16 categories." (in the rules section) doesn't look correct. If I understand it correctly, the system was changed so that now a players score is the sum of the scores in the various categories. ...
