Any chance of an auto-updater to the latest trunk version any time in the future? I haven’t been able to build dcss for over a year now for some reason, even though I’ve had all the requirements, contrib-lib error 2 or something along those lines no matter what I do… so have to redownload from trunk every couple days.

i want the mobile version’s control to come back like a past one… it’s not good to control that i can’t play dcss.

@mummy

You jest, but having some options for NPC interaction for folks other than Half Orcs of Beough would be pretty cool.

you shoudl add romance options to the game, like when you find jessica you can choose to make a check based on int and skills, and if it works she becomes friendly but if you do it again on anohter unique then she turns hostile again. also you should add lucario from pokemon

I’m generally a “cheer for devteam’s choices” kind of guy, but I’ve also been feeling that they might be too liberall with the feature axe (i’ll really miss goliath beetles). However “subtract 15 or 20″ things is a gross overstatement. How about someone start a list of arguably interesting features that have been chopped, side-by-side with a list of improvements or new interesting stuff that have been added? (heck, this idea might make for a great web app or something) We should evaluate this “balance” and player opinion of it more systematically; rage in the comments doesn’t usually make for a very controlled analysis.

add 1 cool thing, subtract 15 or 20 things. Are there any plans to make the game .. you know.. more complex? Instead of constantly taking cool things away? I haven’t played for a while now, because i’m annoyed at the continual dumbing down of everything. What is this World of Warcraft? Sorry to complain, but this game used to be fantastic. Quit ruining it, already. How about adding a couple cool things, instead of trimming it to the bare bones? That isn’t making it more fun. That’s making it braindead straightforward. Just an opinion.

Psst, Liferea gives the following error for this feed:
“This page contains the following errors: error on line 1166 at column 515: Failed to parse QName ‘https:’ Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.”

Would you per chance happen to know anything about that? :)

What! Ugly things and abominations had randomized speeds? Over more several years and a handful of ascensions I never even figured that out :(

The arcane marksman/hunter weapon selection crash should be fixed now.

Anyone else crashing whenever they try to make an Arcane Marksman?

Quoth the raven…nevermore

I guess we can set our concerns about the game becoming too easy to rest, now that you’ve *removed controlled teleports*. I mean, yikes! (Probably a good idea as they were overpowered in places where they worked).

It’s sad to see ravens going away, but I guess they were bizarrely powerful for their apparent size. Makes early game tengus much less dangerous though.

RIP, Singularity. You were way too good, but that’s why I loved you. It’s appropriate, because I was just about to start mixing it with Fire Storm, which would just ruin everything.

GOD I love this game.

But I liked ravens :(

Is it true that the Mountain Dwarf will soon come back? .-)

First thought that came to mind were shapeshifters, not entirely sure if that’d count or not

Love all the changes the team has been throwing our way! This game will keep me coming back for many years to come methinks…

“New feature: ecumenical altars, appearing in the early Dungeon & allowing you to convert to a random god… if you dare!”

Love it! Perfect choice for the random Wanderer.

Didn’t Ugly Things have randomized speed? And also, if so, wait they don’t any more?

By: PleasingFungus

PleasingFungus — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:45:54 +0000

I was counting both abominations as one type, yep. Point to Quazi!

Bonus: until 2010, there was a fourth monster type with randomized speed, in addition to hell beasts and the others. (Using ‘type’ here loosely, as with abominations.) What was it?

By: Quazifuji

Small abominations, large abominations, and Pan Lords? Have one of those three had their speed fixed, do Pan Lords not count, or do both abominations count as one type?

By: Somebody

Somebody — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 20:41:43 +0000

Uhmm, abominations maybe?
