Are you pretending like either of those statements aren't true? =)

MY PRECIOUS.

Have Veh remove all spellcasting penalties from wearing armor. Ta-da! Interesting god status achieved.

Flavour: Half jackal hybrids trained in the arts of war to protect their mummy masters. A few have escaped servitude while others seek the Orb for the greater glory of mummy kind. Higher level anubis are able to withstand extreme pain and necromantic effects, and detect invisible intruders. Anubis a...

Why not just remove them from the game?

If you make a black shirt with the main dcss screen (the one with major demon reaching for orb) I will buy it!

Keep watching until they auto-explore auto-fight themselves to death and suddenly your own playstyle looks a lot better.

Did necromancy really need another summon? You couldnt have made this a VM spell?

Im losing faith in this generation of roguelike developers.

Box of beasts spams and elemental evoker summons did her in for me.

Working as intended imo. Perhaps THIS will teach you to stop trying to get silly "achievements" like this is a Steam game.

Triple sword with cleave lol

Why bother learning to use other god abilities? This one enough for the gg

That gibberish all looks like Greek to me. TLDR'd.

Tsk

A) that sounds really tedious

B) its not all that common for me to have an army of summons in advance because undead are no longer permanent and i avoid using mediocre summons anyway to gain better xp

To each his own though.

Potions of experience and wands of digging/disintegration as god gifts too, for ultimate speed running.

Never worth the investment imo. It doesnt effectively surround enemies with ghosts until nearly max spellpower which means they still get to run at you while your ghosts lag behind. Having to cast onto an enemy prevents you from positioning behind your summons like normal.

I just realized my game development proposals have had exactly the same level of success as Twelwe's.

I'm now having a massive existential meltdown. I literally can't deal right now.

Seconding this question

I would probably swap for a non *Rage-Tele armor at some point, but it'd be really late in the game. Like Hells or Pan late. Where hellfire+torment+smiting become commonplace.

I do this advertantly to train myself to never lose again. Pain is the greatest teacher.

As a given DCSS tavern thread's post count increases, the probability of ironic suggestions becoming indistinguishable from unironic-yet-intentionally-controversial suggestions approaches 1.

Kill them before there get to be too many, or run.

Agreed. How the hell did a terrible proposal like this get any attention? Meanwhile I can't even get a simple no-brainer FR passed.

The dysfunction in this forum is astounding.

Or you could just wear a robe.

Well, it would be a player buff to have an unlimited inventory, which is generally undesirable. Stacking wands, goldifying food, doing away with books all would help a little bit, but I suspect to some degree you're supposed to have to choose sometimes, rather than just carry everything. I wouldn't...

Not sure what having an inventory limit accomplishes in this game other than increasing stash management and strengthening the tedium-to-optimal-play correlation.

Statue form is your friend

Irony is the lowest form of humor

Better a one dimensional game whose difficulty only decreases by 80% by the end game than a multi dimensional game whose "difficulty" quickly reduces itself to near 0 and the only challenge is not killing yourself out of sheer boredom or inertia

Letting people cast conjure flame, swiftness, call canine familiar, blink, sticks to snakes, etc. etc. at XL1 is a pretty huge buff to book backgrounds. XL1 is a pretty frail part of the game for casters imo. Low mp.. No good weapon.. No evocables or might potion or berserk.. And using any of those...

Watch out for constriction.

" Purpose is to swarm the player with a large amount of powerful and fast moving opponents which are hard to escape from."

It exists. Spriggans and caustic shrikes.

Also, deep troll earth mage can dig you out of corridors

Gnollcrawl should become the main branch tbqh. Its a lot closer to a good roguelike than the vanilla game

>Implying winrates don't matter

This is a clear oversight on the part of the devs. Most games get harder as you progress. In mario you have tougher levels. In jenga the tower gets less structurally sound. In real life you get older and have more responsibilities. In the world of crawl everything is reversed. Early game is hard and...

Curious if this applies to anyone else, but i hardly ever use the "strong" hex wands like para or enslave. Confusion does basically the same thing and holds more charges. It has a slightly better success rate too, if im remembering right.

Well, once you get enough of them, you can pay your next purchase with them. Yes, optimal play demands that I keep them because once every few months it's convenient for me to gather a handful of them and carry them to the shop to buy myself a small chocolate bar Its actually more like 60 bucks eve...

Try a Deep elf fire elementalist or conjurer and get vehumet. For fire elementalist a good post lair spell set includes fireball and delayed fireball. Two fballs in 1 turn can help you 1v1 a lot of stuff you encounter. Bolt of magma for fire resistant threats. Add rings of fire or staff of fire if y...

You avin a giggle there m8?

Disc of storms and staff of channeling still in the game? Then evo still good, thx

Devs are ok with Venom being the worst school late game, why not have it be the best early game?

regret-index's commit message suggested that he removed the items from the coc version of the vault, and your comment suggested that that was the main concern you had about making it a coc vault. On the surface, it doesn't look like a case of bad intentions. Then why did he DELETE minmay's comment?...

Let justice be done, though the world burn.

I wish this was an arena in crawl where you could pit groups of monsters and uniques against each other

Best FR i've seen in a long time.

I agree that casters take longer to learn, and are more... finicky than fighters. I'm not entirely convinced they are weaker than melee characters. And I'm definitely not convinced that casters being somewhat weaker than melee chars would even be a bad thing to begin with. Not all classes have to be...

People will suddenly start bringing up their, or other's win rates, because they actually care about what the devs do with the thread. Very few GDD discussions result in more than a sidebar in some devteam irc log or email somewhere. Doesnt matter. Human beings are optimists; they operate under the...
