There are some things Fighting surely doesn't need, and a buff is one of them Technically the op is a buff to both spellcasting and fighting. But even restructured to something like "fighting gives 75% of the hps that it used to, and 25% of the mp that spellcasting used to, and spellcasting gi...

POLYMORPH: Hi, uh, I'm Polymorph, and I'm a... spoilery mechanic

Maybe just make it "fragments" instead of "steel fragments"?

iratecat suggested upthread making draining red and thus manuals magenta. I still think this would be preferable to manuals being red if blue ends up not being an option

I don't disagree with you about silence, I think it's problematic. I was just curious about your thoughts on a way to tweak the design so that it's less problematic without outright removal (which I'd support)

So thanks!

duvessa wrote:enemy silence doesnt do anything in practice since nothing meaningful has it

agreed that player silence is bad

If you were to make enemy silence meaningful, what would you put it on?

Um they aren't called scorpicids okay

Guess the colour red was too tolkieny too

This would be extremely annoying.

You mean like unseen horrors?

Joke aside I agree it's an atrocious idea

Probably that they're boring and redundant

FR remove background recs Just because the current recs are often somewhat nonsensical doesn't mean the concept should be scuttled entirely imo Ice elementalist should be a recommended background for pretty much every race except Tr. I disagree, but my point was that IE is particularly great for ne...

I feel like blue would definitely be better than red for this.

if ice elementalist doesn't become recommended I'll be baffled until the end of my days

I'm in the middle of my first playthrough with the Council right now and boy does it feel good. The mobility in combat and the versatility are a blast. I'll have to play a bit more for more substantive feedback, but for now, good work. It's a lot of fun :D edit: died shortly after you stopped specta...

Also, unless "that's not what power creep means" means something very different in another language, there's nothing sarcastic or rude about it. On topic: I'd say yes, yellow wand removal is a reduction of player options and thus player power. The significance of it, of course, is hotly de...

I'm down with that, especially now that he can't steal haste and tele and stuff

edit: except that I hate wands of random effects and wish they didn't exist, so there's that

You could, but then there would be a random wand that generated with him, and I like the flavor of him using multiple effects instead of just one, which is closer to how he is now when stealing.

here's an off-the-wall idea: make him a shadow evoker that generates with a number of semi-random shadow wands/consumables that he can use against you, that evaporate when he dies. no power increase for the player from new consumables generated, he remains a "be silly, go invisible, and zap you...

Devs had time to remove high elves but not fix PM, food, luring... and you wonder why people were angry enough to vote Trump. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thread derailment aside that's like saying you had time to blow your nose but not to do a DIY kitchen renovation with bronze-age tools on a space ruined by three c...

Right because the game is too slow and takes too long to win

It definitely should be since that would match all other methods of controlled movement into exclusions

Path of Exile FR: as soon as you start moving items in your inventory around, "Korobeiniki" begins to play

There are only so many times I can use the same attack on the same group of 100 trash mobs on the same background hoping and praying for a 1/1000 chance of something to occur before I'm done

It's very different from Civ IV. I enjoy it as much I'd say. The combat has a much greater focus than Civ in general. Age of Wonders does a really solid job at fusing tactics and strategy, but the empire building ball is in Civ's court IMO.

VeryAngryFelid wrote:Age of wonders 3:

Okay I know it's off topic, but holy shit I love Age of Wonders 3.

Have you done an IE or EE with Kiku yet

plus side, you get to live out any fantasies you have of being a DESk, which coincidentally enough will be what your head is hitting after playing enough of these

Distortion is extremely strong because it either literally kills enemies or functionally kills enemies

As for hunting down experience: if you're playing standard Crawl you didn't need it anyway

tedious is a code on this forum. The whole game is tedious, no matter which mechanic irks you the wrong way. Every fight gets played the same way. The common "solution" is to remove things and make the game resolve to a win faster with less work; rather than, rework a mechanic to produce ...

removal request: both wands of random effects and scrolls of random uselessness, and maybe nerf generation of those categories to compensate my first game of hellcrawl is going pretty well, because mibe is mibe. love no food. it's so good not having to chop. holy crap.

...maybe I should have put sarcasm tags on that one

So as usual with basically all hydras in lair you can lead them around by the noses and avoid them, and decent ranged damage options you have work great. Once you get to Swamp if it generates you'll almost certainly have a solid contingency plan to deal with them more directly.

I love when you come down a topic chimney and tell us about dev stuff instead of just being like "this thread is like fish and visitors after 3 days, closed" I mean it's good you do that too but I'm sure it's more fun for you to be wand spellpower Santa Claus than Yuletide Topic Closing Fr...

It's just fruit salespeople shop talk, no big deal. Fortunately, lots of good information for when I open up my big fruit startup early Q2 2017.
