What about mirroring ally tiles (make them look right instead of left)?

Just remove wands already. They create tons of inventory clutter, their identification mechanic is obtuse and pointless, the only one with a unique impact on the game is digging and you can always turn digging into a different consumable if you want to save it. The rest are overly similar to existi...

I do think that purple chunks, despite being fun in the past and present, are problematic under the new mutation potion system. In the past it was always a gamble without a stockpile of cMuts, and definitely not worth doing when playing optimally for win rate. Now, it is incredibly easy to flush a b...

Removing wand of heal wounds was actually a secret attempt to get people to play Elyvilon again.

7 tiles. That's ridiculous. Make cleave cover only three tiles in front of your character. Also, make non primary targets take only half of a damage they should receive. Reducing the amount of tiles cleave affects leads to dumb things like swinging at an empty square because it lets you hit more en...

I think GDR should still exist, but it should just be a static percentage that is an innate part of AC. It would help keep the mechanical aspect that AC is better against absorbing a lot of smaller blows and reducing damage overall, while EV is better at avoiding high, single spikes of damage. It sh...

Steak n Shake is pretty good, but I only go to it on road trips because the other options are usually shittier.

Merged by gammafunk . Thanks!

Being hasted or invisible cause fair-sized chunks of contamination (If you try to do both at once, or string them together in a row you're almost certain to have something bad happen to you) But it's set up so that if you haste or invis yourself once, and let the contamination wear off, you'll neve...

I still think it should be changed to Beeogh and opened to all species.

I don't see the benefit of banning stats from items. It's not like they are guaranteed. It will also have almost no effect on the early game. Later it will be a trade-off in all likelihood. Why not offer people choices? It's based on the feedback from what I see in most current Gnoll games. Current...

I think it would be perfectly understandable that the only way to increase stats would be on level-ups. The starting stats could be lowered to 4/4/4 and then the normal choice to raise a stat every 3 levels* (no random raises). This would give the player some more control on how to develop the char...

Am I wrong? Has anyone tried them in an experimental branch yet? Do you think it's an improvement over the current version? For what it's worth, I think the current version works pretty well - they are absolutely weaker than most races and the late game is much tougher, but assuming it's meant to b...

I am a big fan of the whole "everything takes 1 turn to eat". Are you telling me there are people who dont like that change? If food has to exist in Crawl, all permafood should be pizza. Five Guys is for real. Five Guys is pretty good, but they are way more expensive than the nearby Whata...

Whataburger and Culver's are great. McDonalds is awful, but I'm guilty of grabbing it when I'm lazy and in a rush because it's close by.

Crawl Fast Food Opinions: Bring back pizza.

That Geh:7 map with the 4 quadrants requires flight, too. I'll look for it, thanks. Any others? geh_hangedman is the one I was thinking of. Also, geh_mu at the entrance to fortress and in front of orb. Thanks for doing this! geh_hangedman doesn't appear to require flight to reach the rune: http://i...

Is there any design reason as to why this hasn't been done yet? After the changes to Slime to have the loot vaults open up after the royal jelly dies, Coc is the only place where the rune has a requirement to be met (flight/amphibious/enough translocations to reach and escape) to obtain the rune oth...

I had no clue in game, but my turncounts for wins were much lower than they should have been for autoexploring and clearing ever level with the combos/gods I was using. I would never have noticed if it wasn't announced.

Currently, to calculate player accuracy for both 0.19 and 0.20: Start with 15 Add floor(dexterity/2) Add random2(fighting*100+100)/100 If in wisp, fungus, pig, or non-vampire bat form, add random2(XL*100+100)/100 If not in one of the above forms, add random2(weaponskill*100+100)/100 (unarmed is a w...

Merge nagaraja and sharpshooters, make them more likely to generate with venom branded launchers, and maybe take away some spells if necessary. I consider sharpshooters the true top-tier naga in Snake, while everything else is more likely to take you down by attrition than threat (other than shock s...

-snip- That is victory dancing in a nutshell, yes. When you earned experience by killing a monster, it was placed into a generic XP pool. From there, experience was allocated to skills as they were used; it was done this way because not every skill directly kills a monster (Traps & Doors, defen...

As a side note, I don't care about unintentional player buffs that might occur. Give the jackal thing to all the other canines (hounds, wolves, wargs). Derived undead lose no speed compared to their base monster. Zombies cause Sickness on hit. Quokkas have innate inner flame. Frilled Lizards can cau...

Dungeon Crawl, but the monsters are harder for no real reason (while trying to avoid making it entirely impossible for a sliver of hope): Hobgoblins spawn with tomahawks. Goblins spawn with hex wands. Kobolds spawn with either a dagger of venom or a blowgun+needles. Adders spit poison. Gnolls spawn ...

I hope strike doesn't get merged. Crawl doesn't need even more overelaborate conjurations, especially ones that pretend not to be conjurations. The Zin change would be nice though. All things that do damage in any way are Conjurations in disguise, that is true. This includes melee weapons. I don't ...

Why

Leaving aside any specific details of the implementation for a moment, in an ideal world what sort of experience will a player of this species have? Please be as specific as feels reasonable. I would like to understand the motivation better in the hopes of contributing useful ideas. The main concep...

I opened a feedback thread here now that they are in Trunk, in order to separate it from all of the development posts I made and also because it isn't named Cyno anymore.

Previous thread for development here . I felt like it needed a new thread to centralize feedback now that it is in Trunk. Here's a summary of the feedback/criticisms (and my personal comments for them) for the species I've seen here and elsewhere: The name is bad/call them Gnolls Bultungin will be c...

If it's supposed to be a generalist species I think this design has promise but you cannot accomplish it with the skill restrictions. Characters in DCSS don't excel at a specialty based on skills, they excel at a specialty based on items. Demon weapons and properly branded quick blades are as good ...

Does +Inv on artifacts no longer exist in trunk? I don't remember seeing any changes for that, so they should still be able to generate? Also, I pushed a PR to remove contamination from Haste because it was pretty easy to make, so it's up to the dev team if they want to merge. Edit: Merged by Brann...

I don't really see why -1 vs say +1 is psychologically significant, can you speak more on why you would prefer that? The actual difference isn't really very big, is it just a perception thing about it being a penalty vs neutral or a benefit? For me personally, if gsc/gc were weaker, the impact of t...

CanOfWorms wrote:but trolls are already large mummies, except they can actually punch???

Being able to do anything at all is still better than mummies, which are their own tier.

the real answer is to drop their UC to like -3 or something, they can handle the nerf The real answer is to replace Trolls only going UC with Trolls only going M&F? Also please don't reply with the solution to also drop the M&F to -3 as well, I don't think Trolls need to become large mummies.

With the removal of wands of hasting, potions of haste are likely the only source of Haste available to the player (outside of dirty effects like Berserk or unreliable god effects like Potion Petition, calling potion shops, decks of escape, and Xom). Since this means that Haste is now actually limit...

If it is impossible design wise to either raise Ogre M&F to 0 or reduce the higher weapon apts to -1 to match without ruining decision making for alternative weapons, then I recommend giving Trolls a higher M&F that matches or exceeds UC instead. People who want a species that is good at hit...

Code:: 15 caustic shrikes (Depths:4)

They all spawned together, guarding the stairs down in an encompass vault.

I don't see any reason why they'd need an adjective in this case: all the gnolls are early-to-mid-game monsters, so they, too, can plausibly be imagined as having lowish skills across the board. The adjective is there as a potential because Gnomes used to exist as a species and used Gn. If there is...

I've mainly been working through ##crawl-dev and GitHub comments on the pull request the last month or so, but here's some updates: -I changed the skill system scaling after receiving feedback on it being too lenient at higher levels. It now starts at +4 and lowers by 2 every skill level after 7 unt...

Bikeshedding for Cyno ITT. Current name comes from 'kynokephalos' or 'cynocephalus', Greek for 'head of a dog'.

I have some plans for this, but they probably won't happen in 0.20. All numbers below would have to be tuned, but that can be done with objstat and some arithmetic so as not to change the total amount of food. ⋅ Merge permafood into a single item, "ration", that is N% of the si...

I've decided to leave the skill cap system as is, without breaking flavor to define the exact mechanical details. Skill growth through experience gain is slow enough that unspoiled players won't "waste experience" before learning how the system works with the current information and messag...

First try playing Hellcrawl and won it, it's way too easy with a D:8 Krishna on a Minotaur of Oka. For feedback, the new Zot enemies are ridiculously tanky in comparison to some of the normal Zot spawns, and this was as a MiFi of Oka. I think I had an easier time killing orbs of fire than plutonium...

Fixed now

Probably hit up a dev if you want some credit for finding it, 'someone on tavern'.
