That tension will be going away -- it is sad to take away a competing use of a scarce resource, but given the prevalence (or lack thereof) of DsNe builds I'm not really concerned.

Does anyone call food merchants with Gozag? What circumstances do you do so?

I'm trying out some reworks of Gozag's call merchant that don't give you so much control over shop type, wondering if it'll be a problem.

OK, I've implemented the idea ion_frigate (and others) had: removing the dependence on corpses. https://github.com/alexjurkiewicz/crawl-ref/commits/pbd-reform With this patch, PbD works like a poor man's stacking buff. On kill, you receive (or refresh the duration) of your Powered by Death buff. The...

I'm working on further Gozag improvements, specifically to Potion petition, which I think is the core of current G's gameplay. Here they are, I'd welcome comments (game balance here, technical on the PR): https://github.com/crawl/crawl/pull/11 Regarding BobIsDead's ideas, I don't plan to implement a...

Alternately, is there any reason PbD needs to use corpses at all? It seems like 'regen on kills' is just as interesting, and less likely to be prone to scummy tactics. If people don't want to buff the mutation, it could be confined to only work on natural monsters, with the regen granted prorated t...

You couldn't cheat the system by not picking up gold. The effect only lasts for a short time. It ends while the corpses are still on the ground. i don't see the problem with "gold doesn't expire", the mutation only works for a certain amount of turns for each given corpse (increases with ...

Gozag turns corpses into gold. Powered by Death gives x turns of regeneration when in LoS of corpses (stacks with number of corpses). These two ideas don't work well together. Right now, PbD does nothing for Gozagites, and I think it would be nice to change this. It's not very cool to start worshipp...

Good points. You're right that my proposal is still non-linear. The beakpoints are less severe than the current design, but it's not much better. Perhaps the right place to start is by describing what dps curves are desired and reverse engineering a formula. Here's a basic approach, based on a few s...

Are you running windowed or fullscreen? Does using the other mode help?

For meleedudes, the general 'best practice' recommendation is to train weapon skill to mindelay and then ignore training it further until lategame. This is because weapon skill gives massive dps benefit below mindelay but only minor benefit above. I think there are several problems in this area: 1. ...

I guess that's a few points: 1. No link to http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress. This is intentional, http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/ is the old homepage that has been replaced, and it will soon(er or later) vanish 2. The current division between "news" and "dev blog" should be k...

I agree, but nobody stepped up to supply screenshots when I asked last month and I'm only so motivated. (Hint hint)

Why does jewelry take less time to swap than armour? Is the intent to allow micromanagement during fights? Is this still a current goal?

There is a "All news..." link in the news section. Too hard to spot?

As the person behind 99% of the new design, sorry #notsorry ;). Basically what neil said -- the focus is much more on new players than existing ones, who are expected to know where to go anyway. My big inspirations were game sites like Hearthstone , Cities: Skylines and so on, where the emphasis is ...

Lol. Sounds like a fun race though.

No offline tiles allowed? It's difficult to set up interesting screenshots in online tiles since most people there can't use wizmode and have to play badly (not to mention invest a lot of time) to do it... I'm mostly concerned with showing graphics that aren't in online tiles (eg unique names). If ...

Hi all, You may know me as the server admin of CPO. I'm currently working on a visual refresh of the DCSS website. Here is the current draft: https://crawl.project357.org/static/dcss-web/index.htm It's 99% finished, but I need help -- I need screenshots ! The live games are real, but it's not feasib...

It sort of overlaps with str/int/dex potions, but a potion to make wands better would be cool. Maybe a temporary evo/invo enhancer? Doesn't even need to be that rare

As a random member of the community, I've had three patches committed to DCSS. If you include changes to the webtiles server-specific code, that number is closer to fifty. It's true the devs won't accept any patch, only ones they think are good ideas. If they don't like you/your idea, it will be har...

Can you rank races and backgrounds independently by difficulty?

1) Ghosts of myself are boring, and 2) I'd expect most new offline players to not reset their name often. So, 3) perhaps don't generate ghosts of the same name as the current player. PS, It would be cool if there were a few "dev ghosts", ie hardcoded uniqs. DCSS's theme is suprisingly po-f...

Works!!! You rule

Yep, it seems people value two things when picking a class: a) interesting mechanics and b) kick ass melee skills. Look at the top 5 races: Ds (a & b), Mi (b), Gr (b), Op (a), finally DE are next as the prototypical squishy mage with neither.

I made a little google doc showing what characters people play, broken down by species & class. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12rWBgXix3dFa9NyrU4poiULAY6cT_NiVqQxggOJampM/edit?usp=sharing You can see three things: * Absolute popularity of each species/class combo * Relative popularity o...
