they might as well have no shops in them at all. what a disappointing waste of time

I'm still waiting for a definition of "makes for bad gameplay" apart from "I personally don't like having to bother with this so no one else should." Everyone thinks something that someone else sees a purpose for is "bad gameplay." At which point the whole thing degene...

Poison being something which cuts HP by a percentage could be interesting. Being its own school with that idea wouldn't be justified, of course, but what else is new.

Well, a lot fewer are immune now than used to be after the demon change.

professional wrestling is really good and also fucking terrible at the same time and for mostly the same reasons

Maybe if rPois gave you tarantulla immunity(which would also make them not really really obnoxious to mummies)

I don't know how much damage any wand does on average. that doesn't mean they confuse me. I just have a general feeling borne of playing lots of games about what can and cannot get killed by different things. ex, scattershot shreds most anything without much AC. and that's something that doesn't tak...

why is it confusing that something would shoot out multiple projectiles in a scatter

everyone who plays videogames is familiar with shotgun spread

Very little difference to freezing wraith and green death.

see title as it is if natasha scares your character when they first encounter her, she will be less and less scary each time you face her because you will get XP from her(and other monsters) each time you murder her as well as finding items in between each encounter. I sometimes experience this, whe...

instead of removing wands remove wand identification mechanic and make wands stack

you have an asmr voice and a mic that sounds like it's being scrambled by a 50s movie alien

you petrified me, proceeded to cast LRD instead of shatter, blew up a wall instead of me, blew up a wall that you were also next to, did no damage to me and died in the splash

might be a case where it would be best to change some monster tiles(wraith,dragon simulacra) and remove holiness halo from holy monsters.

Dragon scales are nowhere near as good as zombies. They're not even normally worth using because you're likely to find like, +3 chain or something before you get dragon scales... and then the dragon scales will be +0 once you eventually do find them. WRT shop RNG, it's true, but strongest aspect of ...

To me it still feels like it would be cause for a whole lot of luring. Maybe if the 'turrets' had a timer... but then would you have time to set up any sort of clever pattern?

even ignoring everything else wandering mushrooms being allies you get at *..... which hit for 20(with upside) is just outrageous and I'm surprised it's not been nerfed into the ground

That's definitely not what the original post we are talking about implied!

@Lasty: Someone expresses their frank opinion about the reasoning of some change made by your team and you come at them with "Is that a way of attempting to delegitimize reasons you dislike?" I would say my characterization was actually charitable. The "frank opinion" was to pre...

there's no way you are getting anywhere near enough of a difference in amount of finger movement for it to actually be more efficient you've also ignored how with my proposed scheme the "wait one turn" key, which is a very important key that you use all the time in this game, is in a much ...

You can have a control scheme where your hand is on homerow but make it better than vi keys via making the direction keys move you in actually be relative to their position to each other. vi keys is only sort of like this for some reason. http://i.imgur.com/6T9eJtR.png here's vi keys. it's ok, but u...

Wouldn't monsters being able to follow you up stairs if they can get next to you during any point of the climb time also fix this? IIRC with a GSC ogres attack at either 1.4 or 1.5 aut, while climbing takes 1.5 aut. So right now, if ogre swings, you step to stairs, ogre is still recovering for 0.4 o...

if monsters are not next to you when you start climbing stairs, even if they reach you before you finish climbing stairs, they cannot follow you. unless I am severely confused this happens even if you are currently getting petrified, start climbing stairs, become fully petrified while climbing-then ...

running on scarves would be fine but scarves should just be cloak brands imo

I don't honestly agree about boots of running past fairly early on.

I would prefer the already suggested change of merging long and short blades into 'blades' and giving them all stab bonus(and then removing some so there isn't a huge amount of weapons in one class).

I have no idea what "Poisonous Vapours", "Electric eel transporter vault", or "Higher wand power" means. Poisonous Vapours is a spell which is very good early on. Higher wand power means exactly what it sounds like. I'm not familiar with the transporter vault in questi...

the first is because of how jontron went on a debate stream and basically revealed that he's a white supremacist(and beogh is the "racist" god(putting that in-quotes because referring to crawl species as "races" still makes no sense to me))

For what it's worth, it would be great if all ranged weapons worked like throwing in that you don't have to switch to launchers. Some RLs like Caves of Qud have launchers on a separate equip slot you can use freely which is basically like this.

Remove tengu, replace with something else. Tengu are less interesting versions of gargoyles, without much to distinguish them. Alternately change them around: Never stop flying (time penalty to picking up objects?), poorly fitting armor, fragile, bonuses to movement speed and evasion as they level....

you're one to talk tbqh

jiyva's whole deal is being shapeless tho

Well, what if you have a slightly better spear or a trident? Still means you just kite it a lot.

Just make it normal speed when moving on ground.

I agree wholeheartedly, one handed weapons should either all be wieldable 1H by all small races, or all wieldable 2H by all small races.

I think a lot of people have different definitions of "pure" caster, since I would consider someone who trains a bit of a weapon just to use on chaff while all scary things are still nuked with spells a pure caster. see also: the numerous arguments I have gotten into over what defines a hy...

Flayed Ghost? Great, you need invisibility or fog. Even after teleportation you will have your HP reduced. Or you just murder it or retreat until flay wears off Tormentor? Great, again you need invisibility or fog. Or go around a corner and let it come to you, which is often possible, or just demol...

yellow stairs would be really easy to confuse for lair entrance

If there's no cost for changing a vessel weapon and you can do it more than once, why have only one weapon enabled for this behavior at once? Seems like more hassle whenever you wanna switch weapons for not much reason.

Yes. I know duvessa does not think so but they've never really explained why they think the possibility of getting teleported anywhere on the current floor where there are monsters, at any time, randomly, is not dangerous

portal vaults are fun actually

I think I would be more interested in having casting which ignores encumbrance apply to all spells as a passive rather than only some levels. Could be something like removing 20% of armor penalty each * of piety, so at *****. or above encumbrance does not affect you. Other things which I think would...

A build is more than god choice.

And again, you are ignoring my actual point-I have done extended with a wide variety of gods, and do not think it is challenging as any of them.

I don't think I've ever done extended with a "hyper optimal build"-you do not need anything remotely optimized for extended to be pretty easy with how much XP is available. Many of my 15 rune wins are with Ash, some are with Lugonu, Okawaru, Cheibriados, Ru, Sif Muna, Fedhas... 5 of them ...

Extended is scary though. You just need to not be using one of the hyper optimal builds that's built to stomp it. It doesn't need to be harder, it needs to have the chaff cut out. Then the focus can be on the actual fun and challenging parts. For example, the final floors of each Hell pose a challe...

I don't really see how it's a move in the wrong direction to take optional content(tomb) that wasn't hard, but was very tedious, and make it less tedious but much harder. It's purely optional like all of extended so if you think it's too dangerous for your character you can just not do it, and if yo...

Why not just have some command like ^T to deliberately set off the trap? I mean, there's no <em>logical</em> reason why your character shouldn't be able to do it, and net traps are serious enough risks (and rewards) that taking them out is a loss. Because "traps" which give you valuable c...

You're basically saying you want to play versions where you can eventually get so much escape consumables(via wands and recharge) that you will realistically never run out, and survive playing sloppily in the lategame repeatedly... the whole point of consumables is that they are powerful, but limite...
