Old returning player


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Old returning player

I used to play and post a fair bit, stopped around the 0.19 version, I think. Gotten the itch again, so dusted off the old Tavern account and here I am. It's gratifying to see a lot of the usual names around, as well as new people.

Still getting used to the changes in the current version, but for the most part they seem pretty positive.

Anyway, no real point to this post, but I guess that's true for most of CYC. If anyone wants to catch me up on DCSS developments in the past few years (briefly, lol), I'd appreciate it.

Re: Old returning player

Welcome back!

There are two things that stand out to me, monsters like trolls and dragons directly drop armour (you don't have to enchant it to upgrade or to chop the body to skin it), and the search function has become a lot better. Equipment in monster inventory is now fully ID, which means that you don't have to try on the many cloaks dropped by Draconians in Zot. Ogres and Vampires have become very different. There are a couple new species (Barachi and Gnolls). Player ghosts have been jailed. Magic books don't take any room in the inventory.

Thanks!

Oh, I was around for the troll and dragon armour change. I have yet to try new/revamped species, so I'll make a point of that.

I really like that player ghost change. Not only that they're locked away, but that there's some nice loot in there with them. Also, I really like that blowguns are gone. Previously, I couldn't be bothered with needles in half my games because of the tedium, but now they're almost a joy to use.

Re: Old returning player

You're welcome! There's another big change I had forgotten about, and that's that each game you start comes with a number (the "seed"). You can use "choose game seed" in the main menu to insert a seed and generate that particular dungeon. You can also use other people seed.

Re: Old returning player

If you're playing trunk the elemental spellcasting has been reworked in a fairly major way. (particularly FE/IE)

Re: Old returning player

Regeneration is no longer a spell, in one of the biggest player nerfs of all time (not kidding!)
