@King Slime: You can add your comments on the feedback wiki site: http://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dcss:feedback:god:jiyva

You’ll have to register on Mantis (http://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view_all_bug_page.php) and I believe you’ll have to request Wiki access in a feature request.

Edit: Requesting separate Wiki permissions is only necessary to create new pages. Modifying existing pages works once you registered to the Mantis.

So, who should I talk to to bring my issue about jiyva’s new passive ability up? I have no clue how the request feature works. If any body here does please post this for me; “My suggestion is that the slimes you generate after losing 25% or more HP SHOULD be friendly and defend you. Otherwise that passive ability is completely useless and only adds flavor to the fact that you’re turning into a slime.”

Another good writeup! I was inspired to try out Cheibriados with a Naga Transmuter and it’s turning out pretty interesting. Lots of moving parts when I have gloves of ponderousness and Blade Hands.. I only have the ponderous armour support so far though, looking forward to the activated abilities.

I’ve played a few HEAMs of Fedhas, who is quite good. Lots of fun with the new Lair, open spaces, plants and fungi to use Evolution on.

I don’t think I have the guts to plan a game to get Jiyva, that would require me to be quite a bit more reliable about getting that far..

Sorry, it’s just that I love that idea of Jiyva, and I would love to submit my own ideas and perhaps even build them, but I’m no good at coding or anything. My suggestion is that the slimes you generate after losing 25% or more HP SHOULD be friendly and defend you. Otherwise that passive ability is completely useless and only adds flavor to the fact that you’re turning into a slime.

King Slime: I’ve fixed the post, that was a mistake on my part. Feel free to criticise, but please do so constructively; telling us that something that has quite a lot of work put into it needs to be “completly revamped” is unhelpful.

“While at “royal jelly” status (maximum piety), hits that take 25% or more of your maximum HP will generate friendly, high-end jellies, similar to the effect of the unique royal jelly.”

Just tried this ability out in Wiz Mode. Completely useless. What’s the point of spawin a NEUTRAL high level slime creature that’ll just walk away as you get hit and die? Jiyva needs to be completly revamped from the start. It’s a complete joke now.

Just to note that the piety gaining changes have been reverted — those resulted in miscommunication between design and code departments. That means you can again scum piety to your heart’s content.

I really dig the idea behind Fedhas. Now if only I could have a run in trunk that actually /got/ me to the Ecu…
