Depart the Abyss doesn't return to Pandemonium


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

Depart the Abyss doesn't return to Pandemonium

I'm playing an Abyssal Knight in trunk and I was in Pandemonium. I went to the Abyss to save my life and later I used the 'Depart the Abyss' power to leave. I returned to the Dungeon instead of returning to the pan level I was in. Is this a bug?

Actually I think this behavior got changed in trunk, so you go back to the branch you entered the Abyss from.

Yeah, that does seem like a bug (reproduced in wizmode with today's trunk). You should probably report it on Mantis.

Nic: Wait so you no longer need to worry about being banished by Lom's wizard's? Awesome.

This is an intentional change, not a bug.

Sorry, was replying in a hurry.

The new behaviour *should* be: return from the Abyss to the place where you got banished from. So the OP is right and it is a bug. Sorry!

Wait...so you can't repeatedly unwield weapons of distortion in Pan to escape to the dungeon when the end seems so very far away?
Can someone justify this change please?

It was silly.

(Also, regular Pan exits are a lot more common now).
