I've been working on the white noise, Magipi. When I was streaming my viewers didn't seem to mind too much but now that I'm listening to it myself, yeah, it's pretty bad. The fact that it goes away when I speak is somewhat strange. Hopefully I can improve the issue for my next video. Thanks for brin...

Hello everyone! I'm recording a Minotaur Berserker game to illustrate some basic tactics and strategy for newer players. As I record I am also streaming at http://twitch.tv/n1000 (feel free to join in and ask any questions/criticize my play!) I've just uploaded the first video, in which we explore t...

I would suggest assuming that other arguing parties are sincere and instead of attacking them for being unwilling or unable to do something, try to make your own points more clearly.

This applies to more than one person involved!

Thanks for this post, ackack. I appreciate your compiling many of the complaints which have been expressed on irc. My post is not meant to be a rebuttal, but rather an alternative perspective on the monster in question. After reviewing a small selection of tvs from recent swamp deaths, discussing sp...

My problem with unrands is that they generally spawn too late. Zong is great if you find it early enough that skilling into Long Blades makes sense, but I'm not gonna ignore the 20+ points I have in some other combat skill if I find it in the V:5 loot. It might be worth weighting item placement so ...

Yeah...it's a large shield but I figure for a small minority of characters it might fit? I was on the fence regarding that one.

The new robe of Folly definitely fits

I remember reading that unrand equipment was supposed to be powerful but also have a big trade-off. People (including minmay) have noted that this isn't the case for most of these items at all. Most of these items are either very strong or completely worthless. I think that Zonguldrok is one of the ...

I don't think fixedarts should necessarily be the strongest weapon of their type you're likely to find in a game, but it's true that many of them are quite weak. I disagree with you on a few of these: Curses: This is a very powerful weapon. It has a massive enchantment and the necromancy miscasts ef...

I don't think you need rMut or rN for Zot at all, especially on a character that's this strong. All I'd want is rF++, the ability to haste more than twice, and ideally a couple of might potions. Turn off stabbing, short blades, and probably evocations. Raising your other skills will benefit you more...

1) What do you mean "still of Trog"? Why wouldn't you be?

2) It is not common consensus to stairdance V:$ with MiBe at all. Sure it works okay a lot of the time but walking to the edge is usually better.

your mama is so fat when she sits around the house she literally sits. around. the. house.... HAHAHHA yo mama is so fat and rich she was born with a silver shovel in her mouth! i talked to your mom's tailor. apparently she's a 36-24-36...and her other arm is just as big! :lol: :lol: :lol: there is a...

Each level of spellcasting grants two spell levels and each XL gives one. These are the only factors.

Since DD don't regenerate it's typically a good idea to choose a good who offers some form of healing. Makhleb would have been a stronger choice for this character.

e: I think your best bet will be to train a weapon skill

I like the idea of making heroism activate through attacks in combat. It has been pointed out that this would both reduce tedium. It would also make it a unique power among what gods currently offer. Ramping up on successful attacks sounds good. How about it also activates when you take damage, like...

Don't learn tornado my friend, you got the spells you need to swagjack the orb or hell any loot you want from the whole darn place. You could get dig or darkness or something, both are tried-and-true members of the ninja's kit. And you sure as hell don't need potions of water, just balls. Go to it b...

Sorry about your death ddubois. SpEn is a very powerful combo but so squishy that you can easily be taken from full HP to near-death in a single turn even if you're doing most things right. If you're speedrunning, you've got to take these sudden bursts of damage (and this sort of death) as part of t...

1. Don't escape into ice caves
to the other guy:
2. dont scum
3. fiends don't care about silence
4. teleporting isn't good either

OP: you did the right thing by hasting yourself asap

BountyHunterSAx wrote:Hmm...

silence + running away ...is a straight-up bad idea.

Agreed.

I love the fact that you were under penance yet unhasted. Very honourable!

Your stat loss is from the deterioration 1 mutation. It's ok to raise str, too. 6 str is really annoying. Getting haste and dmsl is a fantastic idea, XL 15 seems like a fine time to get those excellent charms. I would spend some time training a bit of dodging first, though. You also might consider g...

What was the reasoning for 9 runes? Didn't feel safe in hell? I presume that he only grabbed nine because he didn't need any more for the high score. This is the case. Tasonir, the character was also taking too long and I was starting to get bored. Having such an easy time "ninjaing" pan ...

I wouldn't train more armour since you have MDA. Train so ice storm is better. CBOE is nice if you're going to 15 rune, otherwise get more invocations after ice storm is good. I like to use clarity with cboe but some people don't find it necessary. Don't think about getting a bigger shield. Stealth ...

Maybe someone has a link they could provide that explains how it works. Does anyone have one?

Lemme try to dig one up...

ok here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5044&p=67530#p67530

I don't really see a need for fire magic. I would train spellcasting to get the hunger down on iron shot and LRD, and to get some spell levels so you can learn the basic set of charms that everyone wants. Don't train more transmutations unless you really want to be a dragon. On the off chance that y...

The previous SEMO high score was utterly terrible: "3501. splat the Farming Grand Master (L27 SEMo), worshipper of Makhleb, mangled by an Ice Fiend in Pandemonium on 2008-07-09, with 3006134 points after 232962 turns and 17:31:55." Due to that, and the fact that SEMO is an apparently decen...

Get a bit of fighting so your hp isn't terrible and then train conjurations and spellcasting so you can kill crimson imps.

why would anyone RP as someone short...being short doesn't even make sense to someone like me

That would remove the fun of accidentally transmuting a staff of wizardry!

S2Sing the Staff of Dispater should give you a Serpent of Hell ally

Do you want a challenge or do you want to play a mummy of Sif Muna?
