I already bitched about it, and I will again


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

I know dpeg hates vibrant language, but this is serious fucking bullshit...

How can such vaults be justified in terms of the game's playability... What sick fuck would think it's fun to solve the same labyrinth twice. Seriously folks ... lets get rid of these idiotic vaults...

I like Labyrinths.

Last two labyrinths for me have had that end vault with the three choices, two which end in teleporters. Both times it took all 3 times to figure it out. I hate that end vault.

I'm not quite sure what to say. I would think that after the first time, you'd learn to mash 5 before stepping into a suspiciously empty treasure vault. Do you find every Zot or teleport trap in Zot and Tomb by stepping on them?

Yes?

Re: I already bitched about it, and I will again

The deal is simple: you use strong language, I don't feel inclined to change anything.

There are two labyrinth exits with teleportation traps, both of which give help (porridge) or warning (if there are traps in a row, I'd start searching).

The OP's labyrinth exit is not of this type, perhaps I'll change it despite the annoying report.

Coincidentally I just encountered the exact same 3-row ending in Labyrinth. I had 10 traps and waited it out on each row, got the correct one, then beat up the Minotaur. Thanks for giving me patience, KoboldLord!

What exactly are you expecting by calling us sick fucks? Case closed, thread locked.
<+Grunt> You dereference an invalid pointer! Ouch! That really hurt! The game dies...
