Facepalm moment


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

Facepalm moment

I just made my first macro.

And I play wizards.

I can't even begin to think of the keystrokes I've wasted and the times I've died because swiftness and deflect weren't active.

Any facepalms of your own?

Macros are for the UNDISCIPLINED.

My first macro was to make magic dart one key instead of two. My pinky was killing me at the time.

Re: Facepalm moment

Yeah my first macro was out of necessity; victory dancing. Then I figured having a single key for casting my pellet spell would be convenient. And it was. =D

Generally they come right next to you when you move away from them.

Re: Facepalm moment

I double facepalmed today, sticks to snaking my staff of wizardry. Is there a way to make an item immune from StS?

Re: Facepalm moment

According to the wiki inscribe it with !D to prevent destruction. Never tried it myself.

Yes. You need to macro a key to autofight, which will take a step towards the nearest hostile creature every time you press it, or attack the creature if it's already adjacent.

Turns fighting bats into a 3 second "tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-GOT 'IM!" bit of fun.

Just macro a key to "===hit_closest" (without the quotes).

Also great for large melee battles against easy monsters.

Note that in recent trunk, autofight is a proper command (CMD_AUTOFIGHT) that, by default, rests on Tab (Shift-Tab for autofight without moving) and can be remapped using keymaps, macros and keybindings.

Ah, yes, I forgot I it had been remapped in the latest trunk version. I have tab mapped to auto-explore, personally.

Re: Facepalm moment

Here's my latest facepalm:

Found an ossuary, and having a flaming weapon I was able to make short work of it. I kill the two mummies at the end, and with pride at having cleared it without using a single consumable, I exited out the portal. Leaving all the loot behind a secret door, never to be picked up. D'oh.

More annoying was the time I was playing a MiDK who got up to level 14, which is quite high for me. His bone dragon pets were tearing apart most things. Most notably, I encountered Nikola, and knowing he'd ripped to shreds two of my previous high-level characters decided not to bother facing him. My dragons had other ideas, and as I was walking towards the stairs saw "You feel more experienced" and a few thousand XP in my pool. Later on, I found a portal to an ice cave guarded by ice dragons and was letting the bone dragons tear them up. I stood directly behind one of my bone dragons and ended up dying from a particularly high-powered blast of cold going through my dragon and hitting me to death, being on about 50% hp at the time. YASD indeed.
