Hi crawlers! Here’s some of the latest interesting changes to trunk:
- Repel Missiles and Deflect Missiles now time out on a per-deflection basis, rather than being a duration.
- Portal Projectile is now a duration instead of a one-shot effect; for the duration it portals projectiles for 1 MP per projectile.
- The outer ring on the final level of Vaults is no more.
Not all of these changes are available online / in the current builds yet, but within a day or so they will be there.
Although it’s not in trunk (yet), I’ll take a moment to point out that crawl.s-z.org has a new experimental branch for the purpose of testing several implementations of the spell Glaciate, a proposed replacement for Ice Storm. Read the discussion here.
Happy crawling!

Have you ever considered offering an Australian server? Perhaps it wouldn’t get enough traffic to be worthwhile, but I’ve tried to play online before, and I find the game unplayable at ~400 ping.

Epicrandom: All our servers are run (and funded) by volunteers, and right now we don’t have any such volunteers in Australia.
You might try the Korean server at http://kr.dobrazupa.org/ . It’s webtiles-only, and not updated as frequently as the other servers, but it probably has a lower ping for you than the North American or European servers.
