Look, the point I was trying to make was that Paladins if they were reintroduced to the game would get piety a lot faster than before. This was my own assumption of what I know of the game, which is to say “very little”. How it could be so heavily misinterpreted is beyond me, but if I did step on so...

Personally, I prefer the ASCII interface to the webtiles interface. Once I learned what all the symbols meant, I found that it was easier for me to take in at a glance what was on the screen - but your mileage may vary. I'll concede that Webtiles has a nicer mouse interface, though. Putty is pretty...

Exactly

I wish i knew more bout computers. I tried using Putty a couple times but i have no basic knowledge about it nor ASCII, so sadly i never got it to work.

crate wrote:You still don't get 5* piety before lair with new TSO.

Compared to 1-2 piety in the old versions? 4 piety * before Lair still pretty good, lot better then some gods.

Paladins aren't even unusually good at killing ghosts until 5*. And even then, Be isn't much worse at it, if at all. In addition, I don't think that ghosts are a serious threat by then, either. I was thinking bout gaining piety faster in Webtiles. I was under the impression Paladins was axed partly...

What is your OS?

I´m using Windows 7 (64 bit). Was another thread about trying to play Web Tiles using this OS
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4136&p=65956#p65956
but i never found a way for it to be playable without heavy lagg on Win 7-64.

Hello DCSS lovers Fairly new player here (started just at the end of 0.8 sometime around Okt-Dec 2011). I´m ussally not into Roguelikes, more of a Diablo 2/Din´s Curse kinda player, but as an ole (A)D&D player this game has everything I want – and it plays more like a hybrid Roguelike/ARPG. Just...

If your builds depend so much on swamp dragon armour, you might want to rethink your builds, just saying. You are absolutely right. DCSS forces me to learn other ways, not to mention learning humbleness (no luck there tho :p). I´m still way to stubborn, but I gave the Swamp armour dependency up qui...

Grats on wins.
Here´s another fast SpEn 3 runner for anyone interested that like your´s also inspired me.

Helped me improve my game a LOT (not to mention speed).

Not sure if it’s a serious question or who you’re asking. But if it’s me, no I haven´t put much thought into it. I noticed that eating poisonous food (without rP+) was removed and with DCSSs very adaptable and situational use of skills/spells/items I thought that casting cure poison on poisonous foo...

I used to be an avid Diablo 2 player. Then I took an arrow to the knee and tried D3 for a ten-day. With Diablo 3 Blizzard has gone from being a top PC-game producer that sets the bar for other companies on how to make video games, to one of the most ridiculed ones (error 37 anyone?). They´ve created...

Dam, i guess we´ll have to dl latest builds every so often til someone figures this out. The link provided above with someone who has the knowledge, but it´s for Windows XP.
Many thanks for the quick replies.

Hello fellow DCSS players. I’ve written down some questions that I can´t seem to find an answer to in the usual manner (Forums, Manual, Tutorial, Google etc.) over the course of a couple months. Any clarification greatly appreciated. 1. Is there a way to play the latest development build (tiles), wi...

Didn’t they do that already with Pizzas & Killer Klowns? :p

I think the real issue are DDs. Any new race is gonna be severely gimped compared to DDs, like this new version of an MD/Shield Dwarf. I don´t believe DDs needs to be shafted, just nerfed. The suggestion was made but never replied too; reduce DDs dmg absorb by unmodified EV penalty.

Playing a HaHu atm, very effective (specially with boots of running yay Oka) but i have a dilemma: whats better - "punk +9/+12 sling of frost" or a +9/+9 sling of velocity on a regular basis? I ussally switch the Punk sling when facing undead s or rC+ creatures but i´m not sure if velocity...

How about a melee necromancer who does not rely on summons and is not a thrall of yred? Excruciating Wounds, Dispel Undead, Corpse Rot, Deaths Door, uhh Silence? Swap Phase Shift for Death's Door? I know, it's a nonexisting book... Sounds bit like da axed Reaver but with nec focus. With the # of Un...

Cure Poison on handheld Poisonous Food to neutralize the poison and make those eatable (for non rP+).
Any comments?

I just had one of the most fun runs (although no win) with a HOPr L19 but the mid HOPr game became as always a sheer exercise in micro- and anger-management. It became so clear to me that if I could have sticked to a fixed # of Orc Followers I would have had even better troops (for most of my game I...

Fleeing in Everquest (and other MMORPGs I'm sure) was monumentally bad, because the fleeing monster would chain aggro on the rest of the dungeon and you could get a big "train" of monsters on top of you. I would make a fleeing monster effect a scroll of noise at the player's location when...

Maybe max # of followers depending on piety stars? Like max 1 or 2 followers per star? Very much in favor of this thread as I love playing Polearm wielding HoPr of Beogh and also would like to see a reduction on # of followers & optimizing the few you have. Would make it tons easier equipping yo...

Been playing the latest 0.11 builds as often as I can and also noticed a tone down on the amount of early unique´s from 0.10, which I think is really good for us crappy players since 0.10 was extremely hard in that regard (again for me as a really crappy player which is why I avoid 0.10). Was killed...

High Elf Hunters +3 Bow apt.
Can also train a few points in Short blades and cross train Long blades later when available.
Overall High Elfs have very good Hunter aptitudes. Or start as an Air Elementalist to make sure you get swift.

Thx for the tip.
Tried everything i can think of, still same issue.

Nerf DDs damage reduction to be affected by the (unmodified) Evasion Penalty. This would make DD´s using heavier armours reduce the damage reduction to the point of actually negating it. Maybe it´s just me but I feel DD´s are superior heavy armour users to every other race in the game making new rac...

Spiders Nest I´ve done well over 20 runs with possible chance of getting Spiders Nest and not once have i instead got the Swamp branch. Just bad luck? Dunno but it seriously hurts a lot of (maybe only my) builds as they are more or less dependent on Swamp Dragon Armour which is almost never encounte...
