Except there is no way for a new player to see that the gnoll can one-shot many characters on D1. Again, we could probably do more in this regard (as I did note in my earlier post!), but there are hints: http://i.imgur.com/iNqidcQ.png http://i.imgur.com/fNCrXfw.png http://i.imgur.com/bkMW18C.png

god willing

there's a well-known tv of someone doing this a few versions back (shadow-stepping to the orb) that got dith nerfed in like three different ways

more impressive to pull it off post-nerfs, ofc!

the core rule of dcss stairs: the more you think about them, the less sense they make

yes, dreamfall: chapters, as dracos said.

in keeping with my earlier promise in this thread, i will say nothing about the original dreamfall.

doesn't this just make you want to find some weak enemy and grind up to max piety whenever you enter a level

yes, passwall was changed to be fixed-range six months ago. (but its range was based on power even before that.)

in principle i'd recommend looking at stats that don't include 10-year-old versions of the game, but the order of hell lethality hasn't actually changed in ten years

You misread, I think - "they" refers to the summoned charioteers, not the unique.

don't stop before a:4, imo. a:3 is for wimps

why would you ever need to wait for it to catch up?

i apologize and repent of my irony posting. let us speak only of good games, forevermore

why not play Mighty No. 9, the official GOTY 2016-2019, instead?

hyper light drifter
invisible inc

(maybe)

when the thing that kills you on your first try is not "the game is hard and sometimes you die" but "the game gives you places to go way before you're ready, and you're meant to learn you're not ready by going in there and dying" -- that's a spoiler (this is different from all t...

In case anyone wants to fiddle around with an alternate interpretation

shit, i totally forgot about this patch. oops...

elf is specifically designed to have introductory 'ambushes' to try to scare away new players. ditto v:5. if that doesn't work, and players die, that's ok too. crawl's expectation is that players should be able to beat it unspoiled, but probably not on the first try

How common is 'relatively common'? I don't think I find a cloak of invisibility in most games, and objstat suggests that there are about 0.8 invisibility cloaks across all non-extended branches (Bailey, Bazaar, Crypt, D, Depths, Elf, IceCv, Lab, Lair, Orc, Ossuary, Sewer, Temple, Trove, Vaults, Volc...

Fixed in https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commit/094b998292c5 .

pity the new players

why shorten hells to 5 each? why not 3, or 1?

Waiting is an action, yes.

anyway, i'm glad that someone is covering the 'dozens of gaping vulvae' niche in the roguelike genre. haven't seen such a worthy contender since ascii dreams' Roguelike Of The Year 2013...

i assume he means the bit before you rescue the girl (ravished by cultists or w/e)

haven't played it myself so i can't say how fair that is

Eldritch isn't a roguelike, though...

roguelikelike? roguelikelikelikelikelike?

i'm working on sort of a sequel but who knows when it'll be done. that's a secret tho

it's generally not worthwhile to carry around a pile of swap weapons; they weigh too many aum, and you won't be able to carry anything else!

remember to use your consumables when in a threatening situation! if you don't, elemental attacks will just end up breaking/burning them anyway

you should read-id your scrolls once you've gotten a few floors down, since that'll let you get to level 1 spellcasting and begin memorizing spells

some real deep cuts coming out here

harm is good

advice: you should always pay attention to changelogs, so you don't end up making outdated jokes in the 'give advice using the worst reasoning possible' thread

really? anybody else feel like that? even with 'o' autoresting first?

Yes, actually. Not being able to control how long I rest for seems like it'd be pretty annoying.

hm, seems like it'd good that they can't do that anymore, then

it's a precursor to mass hysteria, actually

SpEn are generally well-advised to learn Invisibility if they find it, because Spriggans can't suffer the accuracy penalty for being invisible without having sInv.

...toenail golems, thankfully.

they can also appear on the orb run.

executioners killed my last extended character, so for reasons of transparent bias, i have to oppose any argument for buffing them. they're still a very solid pan killer in general, ahead of ice fiends and tzitzis. by power of anecdote & stats combined, i conclude they're no less deserving of be...

Also once you have a decent amount of spellcasting it becomes hungerless anyways. No. Casting the spell can be free (in terms of hunger), but the regeneration itself still adds 4 points of hunger per active turn, regardless of spellpower. (Trolls get +3 hunger / turn, for reference.) Not that it ma...

obviously you put the third one on your macabre finger necklace

My initial suggestions to help fix Poison Magic: 1.) Unilaterally remove Poison Immunity from all living creatures - If it lives and breaths, there's bound to be something out there that's "poisonous" to it this happened a version or two ago. that's why you can poison plants now also imps...

Turn Ignite Poison into a buff you cast upon yourself. You get a status effect that effectively casts current Ignite Poison every turn, plus turns all poisoning into fire damage as soon as it occurs, before checking resistance. So: use a weapon of venom to hit anything from a spider to a golem, the...

every sprint

except arenasprint and meatsprint i guess

get good, imo

this is now the official Summer 2016 Crawl Fanfiction Thread.

ultrashort crawl is a cool idea, so cool that it already exists and not many people play it

idk the moral

I feel like the argument here is more of a convenience thing - where does consistency come in? Rods aren't weapons...

i did it anyway, since convenience is nice.

Too bad you can't use that on Webtiles.

you probably could with the right greasemonkey script

i've been thinking about it but I'm really not sold on them tbh

especially the Decaying Netherworld of Tartarus. it's just too much. overegging the cake
