Why is it so important to prevent other people from playing a certain way? I kill all uniques because that is what is fun for me, but if someone else has fun ninjaing runes then it doesn't affect me at all.

What bothers me is that, purely from the perspective of English usage, put on is the opposite of take off wear is the opposite of remove Thus having P pair with R and T with W sounds wrong. Also they are mixed up on the keyboard: W is near R so it would be natural for them to be paired commands. I ...

In fact perspectives differ. This "random artefact" from your point of view after thousands of games, happens for me to be the first one without any negative drawbacks. Hence my post in this thread "Best/Worst Artefacts". If you need to have played hundreds of games, or if you n...

Could't oki and trog just gift more non branded ammo? And maybe increase the starting ammo. You would be shoehorned into one of them if you wanted to play dedicated ranged, but it would't be too bad. When i trid CeHu i used branded ammo to conserve my main stack... However, I haven't played trunk, s...

Which is around the time folks in Europe are likely to be going to bed so I don't think you can necessarily assume that the drop-off is all work-related.

Except that the universe revolves around the good old US of A.

I don't really mind that WPRT are separate (even if it is ridiculous and archaic), but what really annoys me is hitting the wrong one and having the game inform me that "you can't wear that!" or whatever, when I patently can. So I would really like it if it listed stuff as now, but if you...

When the first potion I quaff-ID is one of the two !cMut that I found right next to D:1 spawn, then find another !cMut around the corner, and an Amulet of Conservation down the hall

This is disgusting... Takes me an hour and 8 minutes just to clear Lair in most games... And my poor Crazy Yiuf build has taken that much time jsut to get to D:8 lol. Congrats on the achievement though

Damn... I thinkI'm gonna have to reroll... No Yiuf generatedand I'm on D:8

How deep can the crazy old bugger spawn?

I vote for Xom, otherwise the experience is incomplete. Ugh, Xom. I was actually thinking Fedhas after the resurgance of the Stash thread. So, Yiuf is a stoner that gets high on shrooms in your version of the dungeon? That would explain his crazy talk... but would also allow me to build an epic ham...

Ugh, Xom. I was actually thinking Fedhas after the resurgance of the Stash thread.

So... say I wanted to play as Crazy Yiuf... What race/background combo do you think this guy would best fit under? He is technically a gnoll, but they aren't a playable race, so I was thinking Human or Kobold. As far as background, I know that Chaos Knight would be appropriate, but I really really d...

Personally I think cure mutation pots should be slightly more common. This treasure trove requires 2 potions of cure mutation to enter! Give it the items? Mmnope. I really wouldn't mind a beneficial change to cMut in general. It's really silly looking at every melee character's lategame build and s...

I used to be worried about Nausea from contaminated chunks, but it turns out that unless I'm spamming a high hunger spell while simultaneously channeling or have a very fast metabolism that it isn't a problem... Especially if you eat the contaminated chunk at hungry instead of near starving.

So after even more observation it seems we got a bunch of tavern goers that like to slack off at work (myself included lol) and hang out here... Was fairly busy post wise up until about 530 eastern lol

ebarrett wrote:relying on the game to tell you when to stop tabbing isn't good threat assessment, just saying

Very true. Real men disable the low hp warnings completely. Its just an annoyance, as are traps breaking my auto explore.

There aren't any trishulas that the blessed ones can be compared to... but I agree... this thread is a little silly.

I have used a club though when nothing else was available.

Any admins around that are able to change my username to NOBODY? please please please please please

If gigyas makes a poll and no one votes will he stop? lol

This or T&D is better than my idea.

I usually just go ahead and "play it like I stole it" if I find the uber item early. Sure I'll likely die (but that will probably happen anyways), so why not just enjoy the hell out of MOAR TAB while I have the opportunity. Play to have fun... and while winning is fun, it can also be prett...

You miss the point of the thread.

You feel yourself speed up.
You are very lightly contaminated with residual magic.
You are near starving!

If you check the % screen a wrathful god shows up in another color (orange or red, I can't remember which specifically).

Trog and Oki are famous for that... or maybe infamous. Sometimes you just gotta laugh... OgBe with 25 M&F gets a Dagger from Trog? All you can do is laugh.

The Ctrl-F help screen is great. You can't make players read the help though

No there shouldnt, because then people might want to try to kill every staircase. Just put an exclusion on it. No exclusion - it was a pathing concern. Had to go past it. I'm a ranged, not a melee expert. There should be a way and the people who are neurotic are their own faults. This wasn't neurot...

Welcome to the Tavern. General advice is to progress as follows: D->Lair->Lair:8->Orc->Orc:4 D->Vaults (I usually just go down to about D:19 which is max depth for Vaults and generally has the same monsters you'll find in Vaults) Vaults->Vaults:7 {Snake,Swamp,Shoals}->{Snake,Swamp,Shoals}:4 (repeat ...

No, just someone who prefers real writing.

So you've read the books?

There is an entire thread devoted to the hate that the Dungeon, Zot, and the Devs have for players: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=352 With that said, I recently played a ton of casters in a row with no books...

Code:: the Ring of No Confidence {Ice Str+1 Dex+3 Int+4}

I think The Tavern was wearing this ring for a while before putting it in the shop.

Do wizardry bonuses still stack in .10? 63% success on Fire Storm with the following: Ring of Wizardry (alone) Staff of Wizardry (alone) Ring & Staff of Wizardy (together) Henzell says... Makes spellcasting less likely to fail. Comes in staff and ring form. Stacks, but not very well. Vehumet gra...

He's farming abyss because he can't get gloorx's rune yet but doesn't want to lose the chance.

Actually, he's more like SoS :lol:

Holy jumbo sized signature, batman.

Did you manually input settings for the destdir and what not when you compiled? I had some issues when compiling where the settings folder wasn't there and I had to do a recompile.

I hate the idea. It just doesn't make any sense. There are merits to streamlining the gameplay, but this just feels like dumbing it down. But perhaps there could be some kind of "summon ammunition" spell. It should be pretty high level though. Necro/Tm Bone Arrows - convert a skeleton int...

I'm sure everyone knows this but if you save and load while in lich form your hunger is reset. This is useful if you're scumming holy pan and can't be in lich form constantly or if you're just too lazy to keep casting lich form over and over. This seems more like an exploit than a "protip"...

Looking for a little advice on what to wield in my main hand. Don't really do any melee at this, but I'm torn between primarily these three: a - the +2,+4 scimitar of Puonueck {slice, rElec rPois rC++} c - the mace of Brilliance {holy, rN+ AC+5 Int+5 SInv Stlth-} f - the hammer "Wymal Jaf"...

The sweet sounds of my internal AC unit chug away, the smooth draw of my cigarette, and my cat's collar bell jingling as he wanders around the garage.

You should be fine for clearing Zot 1-4 without too much problems. Just stick to corridor fighting... You'll find that for the most part the Draconians are like stronger Elves. You should be fine for Slime as well, just proceed slowly and watch out for Eyeballs of any kind. RMut and Clarity are both...

Or don't play felids. All sarcasm aside, you might want to try something other than Felids to get your feet wet. When I started playing I wanted nothing more than to play Octopodes, but they have a fairly difficult time getting off the ground - Especially for a noob. Still haven't ascended with one...

Thats not the Trog vault with a bunch of speedo glad deep dwarves is it? That one made me lol

Actually playing through the tutorial... it pretty clearly lays out the basics.

Edit: Ya Tutorial pretty well covers the basics and Hints Mode is pretty awesome in the amount of game mechanics that it covers without getting stuck in the nitty gritty of formulas and stuff.

Some folks have an easier time with some playstyles than others... some playstyles folks find immensely boring while others might find them fun. With that said, the in game help is pretty clear on what can be expected from the different races: High Elves This is a tall and powerful Elven species who...

I'm curious... General advice is that the best defense is a good offense, so I would have thought the slaying bonus on the CPA would be more beneficial than some extra AC and GDR. At what point does the AC benefits outweigh the Slaying?
