Anyone using the random altar?

[Tranquil Suit]

Obviously, not anyone who starts the game with an idea of an initial build. But I can imagine it being a thing for the very experienced player or those roleplaying Crazy Yuif.


Anyone? Your motivations?

[chequers]

It's a problematic choice for non-book starts, but the free * in piety can be very powerful. Also you can get Lugonu or Jiyva!

[edgefigaro]

I nearly always take the random altar if it spawns. Because its fun.

Also, it can get you Jiyva, which turns the run into a holiday.

Also, I'm playing comborobin, which is getting down to nutbar classes at this point. If you are on a centaur venom mage, you may as well roll the dice. You were going to have to get by on guile anyway.

+1 random altar, would recommend.

[Jarlyk]

I almost always use it if I find it first, just because there's a good chance it will be Fun. Which is to say that it pretty consistently gets me killed. One of my recent test subjects characters became a DEFE of Dithmenos...briefly.

One reason I do like trying it out if I have a reasonably generic background (I never should've done it as an FE) is that you can sometimes get Jivya, which is otherwise hard to come by early on.

[tabstorm]

No because it has a high chance to give me a god I don't like.

[le_nerd]

Almost always use it. Its fun, and it gives the unique chance to boast about stuff like "I abandonded Fedhas on D:2 and lived to tell the tale". Also interestingly enough some of the wraths scale to XL (vehemut), other dont (fedhas, Dithmenos)

[Reptisaurus]

Getting * of piety five experience levels behind where you'd normally be can be a HUGE boost. And it's early enough that if you get Trog or TSO on a venom mage you can reskill to take advantage of your new God, anyway.

[WingedEspeon]

No. It can give me xom. I might try them if the didn't give xom but the xom chance is just too high.

[Rast]

I hate to give free advice to comborobin, but if you are on a centaur anything, just pick up a polearm or ranged weapon and go oka/trog.

This is my favorite centaur comborobin, a CeAE. It was a helluva game.

Found Ru on 2 and took it immediately. Ru is a good god to pick up early. Power leap comes soon and is amazing. I need something soon. Who knows when oka or trog will show up, Ru is available now.

I find a randart +5 handaxe of draining and use it for a while. After a brief stint in bows after running out of sling bullets, I find a tomahawk of returning bailey and pick up 60 returning tomahawks. I think the game is pretty solid from this point.

I ran low on ammo in s branches. Shoals didn't spawn. Now, I find a good battleaxe and go back to axes, but the plan certainly wasn't to run out of ammo in the first place when I sunk 19 levels into it during lair.

Now, I'm a Rutaur, and gave up rC and rF first thing thinking i could just keep things at range and run if i need to. The keep thing at range is clearly no longer an option. My axe can kill things, but I didn't exactly build a beefy melee kind of axe user.

I had to play very carefully all the way to elf. I cleared the elf vault and found death channel. I had gotten regen online just earlier, and Death Channel was ready in depths 1. That spell was the moment the character first started to play cleanly.

A couple of merfolk Javelineers spawned on U3 and the game became easy at that point.

This was a hard game. I made some choices that didn't pan out at all. Worked out eventually though.

Back to the matter at hand. I found Ru at 2 and took it. Ru is a good god and I need god powers now because I'm a CeAM. I didn't know if Oka or Trog were coming soon or not. I have also done a -ton- of Oka on comborobin, I'm not excatly excited about my next oka game. I took Ru because if he dies, who cares, a new CeAM will get back to D2 quickly enough.

I always take the random altar. You don't have as many incentives to abandon gods at low XL and try to survive wrath if you don't take the random altar. You don't have as many opportunities to play early game jiyva if you don't take the random altar.

The game is more fun when I take the random altar.

[Lasty]

I'll take the altar if I'm feeling whimsical or I have a character who would make effective use of most gods and needs the power boost; overall it's probably <10% of my games.

[ZipZipskins]

I basically don't care if I win whatsoever, so I basically always take it.

If I really cared about winning whatsoever, I'd basically never take it.

If I am playing a Human (or basically any other) Monk and find it on D:2, I'll take it. This very scenario happened to me during the last tourney.

Got Elyvilon. Fun-wise I wasn't happy for that but I knew it was a very good early ** god at that point to win me the game.

I don't think I've ever taken a random god. I tend to plan god choice before the game, even though I know that's not optimal. I am decent with a fair range of gods, but mostly just prefer chei, so the random altar isn't a great value.

That said, I love that it's in the game and I'm glad a fair amount of people use it. I might make a more generalist combo sometime and be willing to take one, but I haven't yet.

[duvessa]

sometimes i will use it and quit if it didnt give me the 1 god i want

i still dont see the point of it and hate that it's in the game, since it's never going to increase your chances of winning, and if you just want to play a random god, you can just pick a random god yourself at the start of the game and wait for an altar to them...

Increasing the chance of getting early Jiyva (even just a bit) justifies their existence imo.

(I haven't seen a non-Lair/Slime Jiyva altar in ages.)

When I'm playing some random hybrid combo (say fooVM) and know I can pretty much swing whatever way the god pushes me, I go for it. As those are my favorite king of characters, and gambling is fun besides, I probably take it 1/3 games it spawns.

[Lasty]

Taking it on a VM is one of the worst possible choices, up there with En, Ne and As, because randomly getting TSO is pretty bad. Sure, you can abandon TSO immediately, but at the cost of not being able to safely worship an evil god later.

[byrel]

I disagree... VM is a really strong early start, so if you have to abandon TSO and wait for a non-evil god it's not that big a deal. My top 2 VM gods are Vehumet and Okawaru; I don't particularly want an evil god.

I'm a lot more worried about randoming Xom...

I take random altar for the same reasons I do ! At character creation, I want to take some random thing and see what it takes to make it work. I do not take it if I am playing to win, rather than to entertain myself, however I nearly always play to entertain myself (sometimes that is with randomness, sometimes that is with a desire to play something specific)
