Well if you're 15-runing then of course you save crypt for TSO piety but extended sucks balls so I don't recommend it.
Elf is just really dangerous and Slime Pits too, getting hit with malmutations and shit while you're at -30 corr is a real bitch.

This is one of the main reasons I don't play DCSS. I don't like how most of the strategies are not really viable. 3-runes are stupid. 15-rune is the real game IMO, and any build that can't realistically achieve that is not worth attempting or having in the game at all.

Five runes is far more fun than fifteen. Thus, five is the real game. Really, though - I understand what you're saying, but why force yourself to play through the most tedious parts of the game when you can literally just skip it and play more of the fun stuff? Sure, sometimes I have a really fun character that I want to play more of and I'll do extended but I'd rather be playing more vaults or depths. It's not any kind of competition, and you're not a better player for getting fifteen versus five - the difficulty is the highest in D:1-10, and spikes again around V:5 and Zot.

Only because they made the game that way.

What if you couldn't melee everything in the game to death with 14 points in a weapon skill? Maybe then it would be obvious why having 12 runes that all resist the same things are boring.

What if you didn't get all the consumables and a billion exp to dump into your defenses so that monsters could still be dangerous without relying only on torment and hellfire?

Really this all goes back to the fundamental problem of DCSS, that you can't both want every game to be winnable and expect to challenge both MiBe and MuMo.

OoDs store the position as a floating point and steers every turn by shifting its direction vector by 33 degrees towards its target. In other words, if they're a few tiles away from you and travelling at roughly a right angle, they'll steer at an angle that creates circular motion.

Do people like the multiple terminal thing or would you prefer everything be in one window? I'd love to know what the general feeling toward it is.

Should they be interactive at all or only informative? Would you like/dislike them more if they were or were not mouse activated?

Opinions greatly appreciated. I've only seen PCB do it. I know that it's lifting the multi-terminal approach from predecessors. I just don't know how I or the population at large feels about it.

Roguenexus has something like that.

I sometimes wish ADoM were open source.

I've been training a lvl 1 orcish mage by using magic missile over and over in the little island at Terinyo. I got lucky with a wand of wonder so when I get hungry I go and buy supplies and Munxip's shop using a ice bridge.

I'm at +10 spell efficiency right now, and if I have good knowledge the cost is 6 pp. But I'd really, really would like to know how long until I reach 4 pp and how much the damage/range is going to grow.

Learning to powergame to rapidly get through the levels and content instead of grinding it out is just as much of the game if not more than just not dying.PCB is a lot like Elona+ or nethack where it'll let you grind if you want. It's not gonna shove you over and fuck you in the ass cause that's what you're doing to your fun all by yourself. already. Stop grabbing all the low hanging grind fruit and maybe live on the edge some time. Seriously, just dive more and fight smart.

To recapitulate:
I'd just come back from the outlaw settlement with a bandit corpse, having killed hotzenplotz. So I figured I'd go back to terinyo for the gold and amulet, plus a bit more magic missile training in the island. I made sure not to accidentally kill anyone with the missiles.

I pick up the rewards, resume training, and out of nowhere Tywat Pare uses my ice bridge and attempts to kill me to death. I'd just bought the Bless spellbook and since it wasn't one of my brightest moments I thought blessing him could turn him neutral. I was wrong, so I attempt to use my Teleport spell knowledge to get out of the island and espcape to the CoC at the expense of some hitpoints since I'd wasted all my PP. I failed to notice how low I was on health and this happened.

On top, the amulet of order had me at like half health from the burns.

I think I'll take a break from ADoM for a good week or so.

For DDA people that have farmed, are season cycles necessary for growing crops or will they sprout regardless of the temperature given enough rain/sun?

I may have been blasted down to double digit hp by a storm wyrm, and I may have spent forever on that floor because where is the special feeling I can't find it, and I may have been lucky that Glaurung sort of flailed ineffectually at my 200 ac instead of vomiting fiery death, but I did it.

So this is what it's like to have resists. Only light, nether, chaos, disenchantment, and blindness to go!
>>
>>126104574

Don't get me started on Torment and Hellfire.

"Half your HP is gone. No reason other than the enemy felt like it."

"This attack is fire++, no resistance helps against it."

Flayed Ghosts are infinitely more interesting than torment, as your health is basically fucked so long as they're in sight, but when they're gone you're fine again.

I wouldn't mind if Torment was only castable by the big bosses or Pan lord, but all Greater Fiends + some other things is too much of a pain.

Oh I forgot, this is DCSS. My knowledge pails in comparison to the almighty game devs so my complaints are not even valid.

A lot easier than I expected actually, spamming portal projectile pretty much did the trick. The only time I was close to dying was when part of a room got blown away by a demon and I didn't realize the hellfire island clusterfuck could still hit me out of my fog of vision as I was spamming heal.

Other notable OH SHIT moments were in Cocytus when I got low against Antaeus and his 4 shitty freeze demons in melee range and didn't realize I had blurry vision. Thankfully I had blink memorized, cast that and wanded myself a tele.

Also getting excommunicated TWICE for accidentally killing my summons, once for blowing them up with firestarter and the second I don't even know what happened, pan lords is just like everything is exploding with freezes or on fire.
>>
>>126152221
How awful torment/hellfire will be for your particular character is chosen on character generation. If you're an undead, take a god that helps with torment, cast lich form or have enough rN, torment won't seem so bad. Hellfire is basically a check to see how shit your HP modifier is. Irresistable 30 damage is much worse when you have 174 vs. 249 HP. Both are an exercise in LoS management. I do wish that there was more variety in endgame crawl, but the PC always ends up with god tier defenses and it seems like it'd be hard to come up ways to threaten that.
>>
>>126151431

I splatted a FoFiFum of Oka thinking I could just dig inside the acid walls and kill TRJ in a bottleneck /\/ corridor.
Five turns in I realized that TRJ was actually doing LESS damage than the walls that surrounded me and that the only exit was blocked by her.
Don't fuck around with slime walls. Even with Rcorr they're nuts. Not even yellow dracs are safe.
>>
>>126153452
I meant relative to what a monster might have. Its a big issue with crawl. Monster and PC are pretty even for a portion of the game, but PC will always drag ahead due to their defenses skyrocketing along with a few other factors. Compare an ancient liches 20 AC/10 EV to a PC's at that stage of the game. Even a hell sentinel only has 25 AC/5 EV.

>>126153743
Sorry, I should have formatted better. Basically you can invalidate torment in a large number of ways.
>>
>>126153159

My only concern is that Lich form basically becomes mandatory or stone body (I think that helps with torment). If you worship Evy then your Piety goes down like a rock with heals constantly and Zin needs vit to help with Torment.

Or hell, getting rN. That should take the bite out of Torment more than the meager amount it does.

I just think that any concept should be able to beat the game with 15 runes. Some should be easier, but I shouldn't be told "lol die" when I bring a poison mage. I should be able to make poisons so vile that even the dead fear it.
>>
>>126154237
That goes against how crawl works though. In the early and mid game, you can afford to put all your eggs in one basket and work your way around whatever your thing doesn't work on. But you always diversify your character once you have the experience so that they can deal with literally anything. Your poison mage will eventually pickup melee and diversify their conjurations into other areas to cover their weakness. I do agree that poison should get something other than Parrow in the lategame though. And lich form/statue form are hardly mandatory. There are so many other ways to deal with torment that don't involve taking that many levels in magic. There is a reason TSO is the default postend god.
>>
>>126154163
I agree that monster balance in extended is largely a joke, but I don't think that it's because "the PC always ends up with god tier defenses".

There are plenty of combinations that end up with middling defenses by what would be the end of a 3 rune game.

In my experience it's more often the culmination of a player's offenses and utility abilites coming fully online that breaks things, rather than PC defense outpacing monster damage. Half of the threats in extended are specifically built to be threats that bypass AC/EV.

What's far more relevant to extended is having things like haste, /heal wounds, ?fog, swiftness, apportation, etc., available to completely neuter what would otherwise be dangerous situations.
>>
>>126154237
Postend isn't mandatory, which is why the devs never bother to balance it.

You only do it if things line up for you. If not, oh well, get your three roonz and win.

Good news, literally no one worships Evy so you're fine on that one.
>>
>>126154946
You have to admit that it is a pretty large contributor to crawl's shitty endgame though. Eventually you burn all the enchant scrolls you have on something and end up with enough defense and resists to take on most everything in a melee situation with little risk, barring something like a felid or octopode. I agree with your points though.

Should I train Polearms, or just work towards Firestorm once I get Ring of Flames up? I'm a MuFE, just finished Orc, have cleared Lair down to 6, and Dungeon down to 12. Lair branches are Swamp and Spider.

Current strategy is Fireball spam when facing anything at a distance, and a wall of Conjured Flames to poke at enemies behind if they manage to close . If they're brave enough to actually enter the inferno, I just douse them with Sticky Flame and continue poking them.

I'm looking for a line-AoE spell to cover all my options, but so far the only fire-based one I've found is Bolt of Magma; my Fire+Conjuration is so high that it's at 12% failure even without any Earth at all, but I believe the spellpower will suffer because of 0 Earth, so it's not ideal. Is it good enough anyways?

Jesus christ how horrifying. Firestorm will take too long to get online before you really need it. Besides, fireball is more than enough for most of the dungeon if you get its damage up. I'd rather get some melee to support yourself. Hopefully you'll find a bolt spell that isn't magma, but it wouldn't be the worst if you have to use it.

Stash :
- cure mutation (usually you'll only need it on zot or extended)
- potion of magic
- potion of brilliance
- scroll of enchant armor / weapon (save them for gda or vamp weapon)
- scroll of recharging

drop it anywhere
- scroll of noise
- scroll of random uselessness
- wand of slowing
- tomahawk, javelins

Top-10[1].jpg
1MB, 3333x2437px
It's nearing the end of the year, so it's time for a Top 10 list. As we're here in /rlg/, let's keep it to roguelikes and roguelites. Keep the latter ones in low numbers to not offend some of the more permanent residents here.

My personal top 10 roguelikes/roguelites played this year, in order:

1. Caves of Qud
2. DCSS
3. Nuclear Throne (addictive, perfect for 30 minutes of free time)
4. Brogue
5. Invisible, Inc. (probably not even a roguelite, scratches the same itch though, and hot-damn is this game brilliant)
6. Cataclysm
7. PosChengband
8. Elona+
9. Infra Arcana
10. Risk of Rain (just a lot of fun)

For 2016 I should really and finally invest some time into ToME.

Sleep is not paralysis - you wake up on the turn you take damage (but the damage is multiplied so it's still unpleasant).
>>
>>126176302
Haven't played Downwell (TowerClimb is a lot of fun though), but I tried Crypt. I love the music, I like roguelikes, but the combination didn't click for me. Timing your actions to the rhythm was the key mechanic of this game, and it was fun, but it transformed the roguelike core into a fast-paced game.
Which is not what I'm looking for.

How bad is light vulnerability? I can trade 50ish hp for +8 speed by wearing a nazgul ring and shuffling some jewellery around, which seems worth it if I won't just explode to light attacks.

>>
>>126196051
Light attacks aren't that common but when they do occur with vulnerability you'll get fucking one-shotted.
Watch out for the Phoenix at least, I think it does light shit.
>>
>>126196051
Light breaths are monster hp/6, maximum 400. I'm not sure what other realistic sources of light damage exist, besides natural surface world daylight or the player using a spell or device. But maybe I'm just forgetting or unaware of a monster with an offensive light spell. I doubt that any such monster spell if it even exists would do as much as a full 400 breath. And besides the Phoenix, I'm not sure what hits that cap, but it's not much. Maybe Fenghuangs or whatever they're called?
>>
>>126196051
Only Fenghuangs and the phoenix will do enough light damage to be threatening (400 before resists). With vulnerability that will be 600. You can just avoid them.

Nethack pets are annoying as fuck, but in the regular nethack you can just keep polymorphing your pet with a trap until it becomes a grey dragon (cannot be polymorphed because MR scales) and then repeatedly make it fall into a pit to make it drop it's scales or as a stronk companion.
Of course they're still fucking annoying as hell because you're dealing with NPC AI in a roguelike. By the time you're in dwarftown, even with a tourist you should be safe to drop your pet.

Stabbing is now like this IIRC: daggers stab great.

Felid claws stab like daggers. Boots of Assassin make everything stab like daggers.

Daggers get a flat bonus to stabbing
if you're using a short blade you're going to hit the stab cap either way, so using the weapon with the biggest damage is the best idea
>>126202221
Unless they changed it while I wasn't looking that is how it works
>>
>>126204131
Weapon acquirement is one of the best ones. Gold acq is good if you have an item to buy and lack money. Misc acq is kinda underrated. Book acq is occasionally acceptable.
>>
>>126204240
You're wrong, actually:
>Daggers get bonus doubled (but still capped at 30).

It is capped though, but in early-mid game it's reasonable to use a dagger to stab.
>>
>>126204131
>>126204243
If you don't have any magical skills trained you are practically guaranteed to get a manual from book acq and it has a good chance to support your higher skills. Book acq is very good. If you are in the early game then Weapon acq is the best unless you already have a good weapon in which case it's either books or armour. Wand acq is best later on when you have ~1/2 of the wands identified or more. Misc acq is great if you are levelling evocations. Stave acq is good for higher level spell casters.

Then gold and food are self explanatory.

Jewellery acq is useless.

iirc there is (was) a death tty recorded how somebody suicided hitting himself with the orb of zot
>>
>>126229437
the orb of zot and the runes were actual items that were in your inventory at one point
you could quiver them and so display them on your screen, and then inscribe them with weird bullshit
you could also throw them, or accidentally leave them behind when you went to go win and walk out of the dungeon with zero runes and the orb
also you could pick up infinite copies of the demonic rune. The record for most runes is something like 250+ runes.
>>
>>126229437
Orb of zot was an actual item that you carried in your pack. If you had a low strength character, you even had to plan around being able to carry it since it weighed a good amount. Since it was an item in your pack, you could quiver and inscribe it like any other item. You could even throw it into lava, destroying it!

Amulet reform: remove amulet of mutation, replace with amulet of nothing

This is the first step in a series of amulet changes. The first aspect of
this specific piece is to remove the amulet of mutation. This amulet had two
problems: first, it almost completely protected from a rare threat, meaning
that it shut down that class of threat almost entirely. Second, because the
threat it protected against was rare, it was almost never useful to wear
this amulet, encouraging players to haul it around until it was useful to
swap in. Hopefully, removing it will force players to use tactics against
mutators more often, encouraging more interesting play overall.

j/k. So you're malmutated in Zot or Pan ofc.

the thing is, if you DIDN'T use tactics to manipulate LOS against malmutators, you got fucked even through the amulet

Now of course if you were playing probably frozen depths (oh fuck I need to add it to the OP but I forgot) or quest for the unicorn, which instead grab their graphics from cmd like ye olde roguelikes, it would work.
Generally Linux is better for roguelikes because of terminal customization lets you change colors and fonts even in games that usually don't like DDA. If you play non cmd roguelikes on windows you'll have 0 customization and will never get screenshots like >>126182303.

FML, I multi-faulted my poschengband warrior pretty hard just now. Forgot to activate ironman_quests at chargen (it makes it so that you can leave the random-monster quest floors safely, come back and they're still there rather than it counting as abandon and clearing the level). I forgot to turn off always_small_levels before entering my Angband 24 quest floor. I got a 3-room floor with Gachapin (the quest) and Hagen adjacent to one another. My 2 early black market wands of tele other (my plan for enemy summoned hydras) was foiled by the tiny floor. This also messed up my plan to get some heavy ranged damage in with my arrows of shocking and bow of accuracy on Gachapin before he could breathe, because the tiny-floor meant that I couldn't really teleport-other a clear path to him through the summons. My potion of healing (yes, healing, not CCW) was destroyed, I think by one of Hagen's spells? And I never found a Staff of Teleportation all game despite repeatedly checking the magic shop and black market, so I had no nice way to escape while under bad status effects.

Ughhhh I just wanted to get d24 quest floor cleared before spending an eternity in Lonely Mountain. Now I'm just stuck bored, exhausted, demoralized...I'm going to try to take a nap.

I blame nearly a week of awful and broken sleep for this fault. Also, myself.

You should try playing a Ninja. Good luck finding a decent short blade melee weapon that does not give you the "ICKY WIELD" status where your speed is shown.

>>
>>126292083
MiBe gets stomped on by literally nothing. Early on anything that gets in melee range gets turned into mush in a few turns, and you can easily negate passive damage (and spells) by invoking Trog's hand. If you need to fight something that's stronger than you or need to pop a unholy amount of popcorn, berserk. If you need to fight something that's really, really stronger than you (unlikely unless you get fucking Abyssed and even then if you're at a decent level you have a good chance of surviving) you invoke Trog's hand, then Brothers In Arms and finally go berserk.

I would say only Mottled is subpar if only because the breath is limited in use, but since Ozo's armor is a must on Dr it's better to be +1 +0 in Fire/Ice than +2/-2.

>>126310457
Sure and that's pretty amusing, but he is regularly and sometimes viciously attacked in this general and I've never really understood why. I think partly rlg is just unfair to him because maymays, partly because his vision of streamlining is seen as content-removal (thus the general's increased play of other content-heavy *bands and *hacks this year), and partly he gets blamed for changes made by other newer devs, often changes that he and other oldfag crawldevs sigh at and are frustrated over, but not to the extent that they want to instigate devteam drama over barring the changes.
>>

I think the answer is just to not give a fuck about /rlg/'s opinion of anyone.

Finally.
I yelled this for so long

But after so long, the people of this general truly see
My FoTM whining wasn't in vain. I can now die in peace.
>>
>>126311280
Sure, fair point, but I think people use his name more often and more negatively than any other that comes in up the general. It just makes me a bit sad because in the years that I've known MPA (mostly through *band forums/chatrooms), he's always been fun, friendly, and articulate.

Maybe it helps that I completely avoid the shitshow that (I gather from inference) is the crawl forums/chatrooms.

I have the same opinion of the recent posts about |amythest.

People say toxic shit that has no basis in reality from behind computer screens, it's best not to pay it any attention and put your focus towards wherever has less noise.

>>126310985
>he is regularly and sometimes viciously attacked
Welcome to 4chan, friend.
Also content removal is content removal, even if it is streamlining. Unless the content is explicitly bad, someone will always have a problem with it.
I have nothing against MPA and dislike Crawl for entirely different reasons than the removal meme, but saying "his vision of streamlining is seen as content-removal" makes it sound like there is no removal going on.
There are removals even if they aren't to the extent that people might emphasize.

Mostly though, hating on him is a meme. Enjoy your stay.

yeah agreed his Sil fork is good. It's so good that *band forum people sometimes call vanilla Sil "half-Sil" out of a feeling that the fork finished the job in a logical way

his poschengband fork is also very good

he also had mpa-crawl for a while, though I think that was abandoned or wrapped into fcrawl, I don't remember which

Wait, there are crawl forks? How many of them?
>>
>>126310985
>often changes that he and other oldfag crawldevs sigh at and are frustrated over, but not to the extent that they want to instigate devteam drama over barring the changes
I think this is probably part of the problem.

Sure, the Crawl team probably needs new blood once in a while -- but does the project really need new blood that badly that it's worth including commits that the most experienced members of the team disagree with?

If it were linux, would linus merge questionable commits just to avoid making a fuss? Fuck no.

The Stone Soup team would benefit a lot from stronger topdown leadership.

You know full well it was impossible to talk about anything but PCB during that time. It should be easy to see that now that the dust has settled. In all those months a single post about anything that was not PCB was rare. You literally couldn't get any meaningful discussion about anything else going to the point that people started leaving the general and waiting for a different game to get popular, and this is tangibly reflected in a significant drop in the amount of unique posters per thread.

And I assume zero of them are active.

As far as I know, the only notable fork was crawl light, which has been dead for a while.

Doombringer is pretty stronk, to the point where it was considered broken for a while.

Demonologist is decent.

The demon zones are largely irrelevant to the game as you mostly only experience them if you're playing one of the DLC classes.

Doomelves are a pain in the ass to unlock and actually be able to play with because you have to jump through a few hoops that might require going to the east, depending on your luck with zone spawns.

The new artifacts are always neat.

Beyond that it's more or less the same game, if you like ToME4 then try it out, if you don't then it's not worth it.

There's also supposed to be a new orc DLC coming out soonish, so maybe wait until that lands and see if the DLC price is the same.

It's called half-sil because the developer is called half you halfwit.
But yes mpa-sil makes a lot of good changes, although it does make the game easier.

It used to be similar to what we have now. PCB general came around and it dropped to about 70-something at most, once the PCB craze faded we started climbing back to pre-PCB numbers. I was called a shitposter because I derailed a thread once.
