YASD - SpWiz - Killed by a door...

[Lantier]

Yeah, this just isn't my day (week, year, whatever).

I finally find Vehmy's altar early. And a book with Tornado in it. And I managed to kill both Sonja and Erolcha. And what does me in? A friggin door. (Door Mimic, to be more precise.)

Seriously, I thought I had the right move angle. But I failed to account for the fact that the RNGs can--and will--give your opponents extra moves now and again. Like when they want you dead. Because you finally found Vehmy's altar. And Tornado.

Sigh.

[pratamawirya]

ROFLMAO this is just hilarious!

But don't give up!

[Daydreamer]

LOL! Sorry, sorry! Not the nicest response but 'killed by a door' is funny. Umm, from where we're sitting at least. Are door mimics 0.8? I've never seen one.

[pratamawirya]

LOL! Sorry, sorry! Not the nicest response but 'killed by a door' is funny. Umm, from where we're sitting at least. Are door mimics 0.8? I've never seen one.

Yes they are. You can find funny mimics in 0.8, such as stair mimics and shop mimics. And even trap mimics.

[tcjsavannah]

I will say the new 0.8 mimic "jaws" nearly made me jump out of my seat when I encountered them first on a shop mimic. I think I even uttered a "what the hell?!" when I first saw it.

[joellercoaster]

I think my favorites are portal mimics. Nothing like thinking you've spotted a Labyrinth portal and just missed the level message, and frantically fighting your way over to it only to find the damn thing grows teeth.
