If you think my post is bad, why not say so in thread and suggest improvement? You would rather be trolling and circle jerking? Explain yourself. If I'm being totally honest I put zero thought into this post besides rightfully putting it in the "shitpost" tier. I figured that would be obv...

Undertale goty every year.

:tobdog:

I'd rather Mummies be literally invincible than have cursed equipment death curses. The curses don't make them monsters you want to avoid, they make them trivial for 90% of characters and (mildly) crippling for unspoiled Dj players.

Apparently Mummy Death Curses are still in this version, which is really obnoxious when playing a Djinn. I think that should be fixed, or Djinn should have *some* method of uncursing equipment.

What makes Brent Ross' Crawl 4.2 Alpha provably unwinnable?

Beyond everything else about this proposal, Hell effects are one of the most annoying parts of Crawl and I'm not in favor of turning the entire game into "dive fast to save on frustration."

majesstic wrote:"Form" and "worm" don't rhyme. Get the hell out of here.

You don't pronounce it "Ferm?"

You could just make monsters never move at the same speeds as the player; split auts down to 0.05 and make monsters always either slightly faster or slightly slower than the player. This has the disadvantage of being a massive rework and rebalance of the game and completely arbitrary, but the advant...

I do think that Crawl is a lot less likely to suffer from the sort of exponential power creep implosion that ToME had, since ToME relied very heavily on multiplicative buffs and stacking reductions and a lot of other absurdly bad ideas, while Crawl tends to be more logarithmic in nature (Besides Bat...

I mean you can just use a bow now, so there's that. It still seems like a really tedious conduct for a key ability of "you get to hit with melee weapons, just indirectly."

Tower of Table should also render you unable to understand what monsters are saying for the rest of the floor.

Can I just say that in general, I loathe the idea with many of your god suggestions that is basically "Get X buff permanently, if you can cast it reliably?" Qaz already gives you a (pretty great) magic spell passively with no requirement you're actually able to cast it. I'd vastly prefer a...

Then replace all Pizza with Tofu Jerky.

Open use tilesets means that Crawl icons show up occasionally in random flash games.

A god with item destruction, tedious ally management, and a main ability that directly contradicts the main conceit of the god seems pretty bad to me.

Rc-- is mechanically identical to rc- besides needing more resistance to negate it, so I don't think the downside is that unworkable.

I'm not sure why the race needs high stat growths, though.

I think that making the god dependent on Translocations skill is a little bit odd, especially for every ability; while there are gods that are based on a certain skill, they usually don't require that skill for their passives. There's also sort of a design clash with protection from translocations m...

It feels weird how, in the past, the argument was "you should be treating every monster holding a glowing weapon as though it's distortion, and if you get banished by un-ID'd monster distortion because you assumed it was safe to tab them, it's your own fault and you just played badly" to ...

This would amount to a slightly different version of the current system, in which the floor is your satchel. It would save turns for speedrunners, and it would prevent the dual annoyances of monster spawns and hunger management while hunting down items or going back to your stash, but that's really...

This is super complex for something that boils down to "Enchant Weapon Scrolls suck and still max at +9". I vaguely agree with the sentiment that artifact weapons are frequently overshadowed by taking a good base weapon and tossing 9 enchants on it, but that's not a reason to introduce a m...

I would probably avoid the tomb card since that's just tedious in the hands of a monster, and can probably have some bad edge-case effects (the walls are permanent, right?)

So liminals are just humans that startscummed for a faded altar?

Your best weapon is a +0 flail and you are in Lair:5 You have a stack of unused ?EA and ?EW You have blink and tele up the wazzoo and could easily have left You have a stack of ?removecurse and are wearing a cursed ring of loudness You have a ring of protection you are not wearing You have a stack ...

Wonder where the "flirt" option went, then b: parry.

So first, I've found GOLD DRAGON ARMOUR in Dungeon:2! I was like wtf... http://i.imgur.com/kkJOooa.png And then, in Lair: 5 a DAMN PORCUPINE killed me -.- pathetic http://i.imgur.com/m6tpzbw.png Post your most ridiculous runs :) There are several things deeply wrong with this picture.

For the AI issue: Crawl is very clearly built with intentionally dumb monsters that use their good abilities a variable but low percentage of the time. There are some, very rare, games that allow enemies to act as smart as possible and provide interesting but not brutal challenges; Crawl is not one ...

Why would you ever eat "small" food items after lair? The entire point of this topic in regard to eating permafood is less keypresses. Eating 3 1500 satiation fruit requires you to do 6 presses. Clever players can do that in 4 (e, <item slot>, ~, ~). If you play offline it just takes three!

Why would you ever eat "small" food items after lair? The entire point of this topic in regard to eating permafood is less keypresses. Eating 3 1500 satiation fruit requires you to do 6 presses. Eating a single 5000sat ration will require 2. There is enough ration food anyway. (usually >1...

the thing is, death cobs aren't dangerous if you know how they work How is this different than orbs of fire exactly? If you didn't know they existed you could easily enter zot without fire resistance and die. This idea is consistent with a lot of monsters actually. You're not being serious, are you...

WingedEspeon wrote:IMO hell is fine because you just dive it. The problem is pan because it can take forever to get the runes to spawn.

Yeah but by the same token since you just dive hell there's basically no reason to keep any of the content but the last floor.

Permanent allies are obnoxious and this god winds up being very similar to Beogh with more actives* and less restrictions.

*Seven active abilities! Seven!

So if the idea is to make these enemies dangerous and resistant to attempts to teleport away, why not do this: Hellhounds now travel in large packs and/or spawn in very high numbers. When they howl you, you receive a long-ish duration (~mark duration) status effect that teleport-closes 1-3 hellhound...

Go to the room with the fox and the turkey.

B) Go to that room we haven't gone yet.

Also maybe use the prune chip cluster to mark where we are?

F) can only end well.

I just know this is going to end poorly.

C).

Ask the robots if the set of all sets that do not contain themselves contains itself.

Grow a bloodhound nose and follow the scent of the cheesebrick.

Eat the brick of bats.

Release the brick of cheese to capture bugs.

Begin playing webtiles.

d), then spare

A, then microwave the unstable chips

Option L.

I always listen to music when I'm playing Crawl; it helps keep me engaged.

Lately I've been listening to The Money Store.

What about you, CYC?

This guy is super complex, has multiple obnoxious mechanics, and even then the thing that makes ogre packs less tab friendly is the fact that he has malmutate.

dynast wrote:Alright doctor brain, but that doesnt change the fact that DCSS has a huge difficult scaling issue.

As do the majority of roguelikes. It might be less of an issue and more "players enjoy getting to work towards being a ridiculous killing machine."
