On the other hand, "get exactly what you want all the time" is not a design goal of Crawl. It's why there's no wands of wishing.

I guess I'm ok with having sucky choices in the game but not if they're also really annoying to use.

Are monsters only valuable if they drop stuff or are guarding stuff? I don't think that's true all the time.

I usually dive to 5 (mapping helps but is not really that important). Unless theres some stairway shenanigans happening like that horrible vault with draconian hellsmiters behind crystal walls surrounding all three >. I'll take a trap door to z:5 over that shit.

Sprucery wrote:Adding monsters to Labyrinths was a mistake in my opinion as well.

What if additional monsters in Lab were all put behind runed doors? Players could open the vault if they wanted to break up all the hot mazy action, or ignore it and just kill the minotaur.

Lag would only be worse if webtiles had to track mouse movement. No one is paying for these servers except their owners, show some respect. If you had any perspective you would be amazed the whole thing works at all.

Buy the book imo, unless you find the spell so boring you don't want to use it; otherwise skeletons will be a huge help at this stage and will help offset your low defenses.

If anyone has a casual clan with an opening, I'd like to join it. I'll probably only play a few wanderers so I dont get burnt out before csdc happens

You would probably like the game more if you pretended Pan and Hells didn't exist, that's what I did after slogging through pan the third or fourth time and I don't regret it one bit.

Idk if this was the "right" thing to do but Id rather fight TRJ in the vault corridor than a single shard shrike

New here? You have been to many internet graveyards, but tavern still weirds you out? Here is a short list that should keep your account safe and unbanned! - Things that you should avoid mentioning at all costs : -Any features that were removed from the game, especially Mountain Dwarfs -Cheibriados...

ok, anything that doesn't turn you into a zombie who steals all your friends shit, then. (stay the hell away from opiates, kids)

n1000 is right, this is a natural reaction after binging on anything.

imagination dragons that hurt you with their crappy music

An ancient lich with spellforged servitor is absolutely terrifying, good work devs (ps. anyone know how much hp monster servitors have?)

Most people pick a god at or before the Ecumenical Temple. That's pretty early in the game. Zealots just move the choice to character creation. Is a choice made there really all that different from a choice made about five dungeon levels later? Yes, because monsters aren't trying to kill you on the...

If you're ok with playing online (and ascii), you can use Connectbot and a transparent keyboard, it works pretty well for me.

try playing console, its much faster and not hard to get used to

Maybe we need a cute name for each species. Here is a start: Ce - Super Meat Pony DD - Super Meat Shorty DE - Deep Meat Boy Ds - Super Meat Imp Dr - Rainbow Meat Boy Fe - Super Meat Kitty Fo - Super Meat Bug Gh - Rotten Meat Boy Gr - Super Meat Rock Ha - Super Meat Took HE - Super Meat Snob HO - Hu...

Vehumet wrath is notoriously tough these days, I wouldn't recommend it. Veh is a great god for your character anyway

Is Black Mark still around in trunk? It adds a vampiric brand to your attacks 20% of the time and applies antimagic, weakness (whatever that does) or slow. The vampiric even works on undead and demons

That's a really cool idea. I think it would be more interesting if it only had a chance to show up, like 25 or 33%. How much piety do you think it should give? * piety seems balanced and it wouldn't make Monks feel obsolete that way

For a difficulty setting I propose what I've proposed before: an rcfile option to scale your HP. Try beating the game with 50% maxHP, should be harder. I think it can be achieved with lua. When HP reaches 50% of max HP, the game would automatically quit (Ctrl+q) the character. My autosave feature i...

I tried this in .14 wizmode with max piety and it doesn't work. It specifically says in the god power screen that it only works when directly injured by enemies. Getting sticky flamed by a mottled dragon doesn't trigger it either.

Try searching minmay on learndb, there used to be a link with all your old posts

GlassGo wrote:This message assumes any meaning?

Yeah good point. I personally do raise everything that falls, though I've heard folks complaining about stolen kills and lost xp, so maybe not everyone wants to play that way. I've always found when it comes to zombies and summons the lost xp is more than made up by the ability to kill literally an...

hydra form gets more heads with Tm skill, but as it is using that spell is just asking for a YASD.

I'm disappointed that it works like you say, when I read the commit I imagined something like a "Reading" status that would just delay the scroll effect for a few turns and you could act as normal while it was happening.

I can't speak for makhleb but Oka piety seems a lot less swingy now that you don't have to depend on corpses dropping.

The OP might not know enchant weapon scrolls are 100% reliable in .15+

And congrats, the first win is always the hardest :)

I dont get why he named himself after ness, this guy is way more of a pokey

Being able to point out problems and being able to find a way to solve them in a satisfactory manner are two very different things. Ness, all you're doing is bragging about having done the easy work - these are all things that many players had been pointing out for years.

If it's a status (and I kind of like that idea without thinking too hard) I think it'd be reasonable to not allow it and death channel to be active at the same time. "You can only have one magical corpse use active at a time." This spell is already weak compared to animate dead (not to me...

I'm not surprised that Gr and Mi are popular; they're easy to play. But why is Ds the most commonly played species? Do Ds have some advantage that I'm not seeing, or is it simply because demons ? Mutations are fun. When I was starting playing this game I played a ton of Ds because interesting thing...

Code:: You redirect Louise's attack! Louise casts a spell. Louise is devoured by a tear in reality.

It's fixed now, don't know if any servers have updated to it yet.

I ran into this and reported it too, it was on my csdc game of course. It was pretty scary until I noticed that HECj ghost had no spells o.O

Saw it on 2 different ghosts, glad I'm not the only one

Another round, another embarassing poison death. I'm still not used to being faster than everything.

Yeah, it would at least upgrade this ring from "complete waste of inv. space" to "sort of useful in shoals and swamp"

Yeah, I've learned to not fight her unless I can confuse/paralyze/polymorph/etc. in the first couple turns.

Getting all kinds of "I love it when" moments from worshipping Ru

You redirect the ettin's attack!
The ettin hits the lich with a dire flail!!

I'm in, on hypertraveller again. I can't wait, thanks again WalkerBoh :)

wake me up when the suns are a good team again

Every time I need some MR in a trunk game I think "hmm, I wonder if the devs changed it so !resistance actually makes sense now".. And I know I'm not alone so it should probably just be changed so it makes sense to people who know what words mean. Resistance pots aren't nearly common enoug...

Pariah might work well. This makes me wonder if a Crawl lore thread would be worthwhile. Some Dark Souls-esque story telling would be neat. For those of you who don't know, Dark Souls is a game that tells a good 90% of it's lore through item descriptions. Now, I'll be the first one to admit that Cr...

What bothers me more is when Sigmund goes invis before I spot where he was located.

O - Jism's Guide on Transformation
(You found it on level 3 of the Crypt)

I always imagined them as those scary tree dudes that hug you to death in dark souls

Chapter 3 of torment is actually worth reading if you feel like laughing at college freshman philosophies written by someone who watches way too much anime

hey guys come read my crawl fanfic oh by the way the first thing that happens in it is a fucking gang rape..

fuck you for convincing me to read that trash, also get out
