Has Abyss been changed ?


Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

YES!

Finally we can just slaughter everything at xl27 without moving like fools for 10k turns!

This answer is the reason why removing the Thanks button was a large mistake...

Re: Has Abyss been changed ?

Will the stairs down and exits still occur randomly, if you Abyss MO is to walk away from everything? The second paragraph implies yes, but I want to make sure because, well, that's my MO.

This is an awesome change. If a character is tough enough to stand and fight in the abyss, he is strong enough to wander in it for 10k turns. This seems like the perfect solution to the abyss problem!

Re: Has Abyss been changed ?

Is there a possibility of doing something similar for rune vaults on Abyss 3 or lower? I really like this change, but I've found looking for the rune vault is often by far the most frustrating part of going for the Abyss rune, not getting to Abyss 3 in the first place.
