@ololev: Yes.

Before: (3 * 2 + 1) / 2 + 1 = 7 / 2 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4; damage is divided by 4, a.k.a. reduced by 3/4ths.

After: (3 * 1 + 1) / 2 + 1 = 4 / 2 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3; damage is divided by 3, a.k.a. reduced by 2/3rds.

Are there any chances to see those changes in downloadable Crawl?

>rElec reduces damage by 2/3rds, rather than 3/4ths.
Please explain this, res in “resistible /= (3 * res + 1) / 2 + bonus_res;” was changed from 2 to 1 for having rElec? Also, I can’t see how one can get 2/3 from the formula above.

@aaa: if you can actually pull that off, you deserve your buffed saint roka, imho.

About the item
-Enemies buffed by Gozag’s wrath remain buffed until slain:

worship Gozag first -> abandon him -> worship Beogh -> encounter buffed Saint Roka -> tame him -> PROFIT!!

The item SHOULD be fixed to:
-Enemies buffed by Gozag’s wrath remain buffed until slain AND ENSLAVED

“High score entries featuring mountain dwarves that died of stupidity no longer crash the game.” Wait, what does this have to do with strategy and complexity…?

@pratamawirya: A message that anthropomorphised the Abyss (“The substance of the Abyss twists in disgust”) was changed. It’s a very trivial change.

I totally agree to Jon. Instead of making this richer in feature and more interesting they just nerf everything fun and reduce complexity. One day they will merge all weapons into only one all-purpose weapon called “The weapon!” Not happy with the way the developement goes.

“High score entries featuring mountain dwarves that died of stupidity no longer crash the game” — I’m so tired of all these changes that reduce strategy and complexity. I barely recognize Crawl anymore!

“The Abyss has been decisively deanthropomorphised.” What’s that supposed to mean?

Thank you.
