I dont like arriving on D:8 to see a Lair entrance with a Death Yak and 2 Elephants standing on it.

Having kited them up to D:7 and ditched them I dont like entering Lair 1 to see an 8headed hydra 3 tiles out.

Spider spawns in Lair. Bonus points if there turns out to be a mimic pretending to be Snake elsewhere. Triple if the latter is found before the former.

The Devs put a tengu warrior with a crossbow on D:9, along with a few ravens. My poor felid got mauled every time I tried to get the the lair entrance, which they were stalking, and eventually I just gave up and decided to farm orc for a bit. Got killed for the last time by high orc priest on Orc:1. Not playing felids again any time soon...

Re: I don't love it when...

I don't love it when I find that Summonings is now a joke skill compared to its days in 0.12 when I last played (where are my spamammals!?) and I also find that Twisted Resurrection is going away soon... do the devs hate permanent minions now or something? :shock:

Re: I don't love it when...

There's a far stretch between summons being a joke skill compared to .12 summons and it being an actual joke skill. And yes, permanent summons are problematic. Twisted res in particular was ridiculously good in the days where you could, for a minimal investment (say 10 necromancy), have dozens of large abominations following you everywhere. It was mostly balanced by the fact that few people bothered with it. Even the permanent summons that don't follow you (animate skeleton/dead) have an exceptional exp investment/strength ratio.
Anyway, yred is still good if you like summons - though there's a cap on how many servitors/bone dragons you get now, so he's also not .12 good anymore.

I do admittedly miss having 8 permanent large abominations follow you between floors. It made the suffering through Skeletons and Zombies worthwhile; and made you feel considerably badass swatting down Hydras in Lair without lifting a finger, and probably without net losses. Still, I can understand Aboms being nerfed to their current level, it was kinda OP. In terms of power, though, it feels ok at the moment; Aboms are strong, yes, but you are very unlikely to maintain more than about 3 with decent health in my experience (especially with Kiku nicking corpses; though perhaps I don't use corpse delivery as much as I should- i.e. I don't unless its an emergency).

Anyway, Necromancers have it alot less bad than summoners because they can snowball through a floor; and Death Channel, Simulacrum and Haunt are indeed awesome when you get them online, though now a Necro will have alot less insurance when they first descend to a new floor if they lack Abominations to bring with them (That said I've never made it to extended and I'm sure they would be useless there anyway).

Summoners though; they used to rely on their swarming of weak creatures as their main early offense IMHO; at least until they got Ice Beasts online, but now they might get a single Quokka or Hound from their early skills... which is hardly enough for basically anything past D2 (Maybe D4 for hounds/imps). Perhaps its a little harsh to call it a joke skill; but its not like a swarm of rats was powerful in the first place, just a good meat-shield, so its rather I don't understand the nerf there, especially considering summons already ate your XP. It's especially weird considering that HOPr's can bring their armies with them and Yred can keep your undead. Needs a Summon god to fill in for what Vehumet used to do for Summoners or some-such, in case I want non-undead/demon themed summoner to survive the early game easier (and Grand Grimoire back plox!).

Anyways, sorry if that turned into a rant. 'Tis all just my opinion of course; but 0.16's cuts are the first ones that I can't really understand the reasoning behind.

I hope it is a bug. There should be exactly 0 chance to generate such things on D2 in less than 4k turns.

        if (fuzz)
        {
            place.depth += fuzz;
            dprf(DIAG_MONPLACE, "Monster level fuzz: %d (old: %s, new: %s)",

             old_place.describe().c_str(), place.describe().c_str());
    }
}
In summary: OOD spawns on D:1 begin after 701 turns spent there. OOD spawns on all other levels that have them begin right away, however, on D:2 the chance is reduced by 25% if you have spent fewer than 584 turns there. If you have spent more than 1400-depth*117 turns, you start getting "super OOD" spawns, so D:2 fire giant is very normal if you spent many turns there (by the looks of 3889, you did). The chance of all OOD spawns also increases with time spent on the level in general and also has dumb breakpoints.

If you have spent more than 1400-depth*117 turns, you start getting "super OOD" spawns, so D:2 fire giant is very normal if you spent many turns there (by the looks of 3889, you did). The chance of all OOD spawns also increases with time spent on the level in general and also has dumb breakpoints.


Actually it was about 1300 turns on D:1, 1300 on D:2, then a little over 1000 on D:3 before I fled back to D:2 and was killed (Actual total time spent on D:2 was roughly 1500 turns, including the resting time once I returned there) which is a larger-than-average amount, but not really super obscene or anything. (Og particularly seem to spend an above average amount of time resting than most races, particularly early on, at least for me.)

It looks to me like it's possible to spawn a super OOD spawn on D:2 after 1500 turns, but it's ridiculously rare (Since I was definitely below the "start value" for super OOD spawns of 3000 turns on the level, it was a 2 in 10000 chance of a super OOD spawn)
