I think that 2handers + shields is almost a trivial aspect of formicids, they'd still be very easy wins if they didn't have that.
>>143825427
>>143825542
CPA with -5 str does this to even the best of ants.
pls no die
>>143828627
I'll splat if I want to!
just got a acquirement scroll, not sure what to get, or to save it for later. i'm thinking either jewelry or wands, but afraid i'd be massively disappointed with a ring of tele or a wand of digging.
>>143825395
>ohio awoo
>>143829734
jewelry is generally a terrible option if you're not Op
wands are good, misc can be good if you have decent evo, and if your spellcasting skills are all 0 staffs has about an 80% chance to give a rod
>>143829734
Jewelry is pretty bad until you have the base types identified.
>>143829938
i got a vamp sword why the hell would i want a rod right now?
>>143829942
i might wait till i got more base types then, since i'm really hurting for something good in those slots.
>need to be not-good alignment to summon demons
>killing all the evil/undead/whatever monsters raises your alignment
Sure wish I could actually use summon manes!
At least I've upgraded from magic missile to this crap randart whip that does all of 29 average damage and trashes my device skill. But it has vampirism so it's still OP.
>>143830176
I would go wand. You have a substantial chance of getting heal wounds or hasting, which are both amazing.
Jewelry will try to give you base types you don't have yet and, well, there's a lot of base types.
Don't do it! Don't fight her! Just walk away man.
Goddamit, Wiglaf. Where the fuck did you got this equipment?!
>>143830482

>>143831647
time to wish for a bob and have a hasted primal oxbat solo zot5 for you
>>143832343
zot's not gona be a problem, more trying to see what I can get to help with hell and such, bob would be nice though.
good news guys, finally got my ev back up to double digits, all it took was the xp equivalent of both lair branches and the rest of the dungeon going into dodging.

How are demon whips compared to morningstars?

Strictly better.
>>143837575

I don't have one, which is why I specified morningstars.

ok, how are these compared to boots of running? i mean I'm pretty sure running's better but i haven't had many games where I got running.
>>143840535
Running's better.
>>143839670
Me and my V:5 crew.
Having a fire giant makes things... interesting, to say the least.
Thank goodness for rF++.
>>143839795
>not playing a hydra to wear all your helms
Is lucky still worth it on those weird slot races that have a harder time making up for the lower stats with equipment?
>>143840535
Running is literally worthless unless you're on like d:4 and have no other escape options.

MuMo was ruined the moment it was "won"
Remember the shitstorm that ensued?
@143841614
we were only doing it ironically back then
i don't care if it was dumb, cloning Mara was therapeutic.
>>143841752
People have been taking MuMo seriously since day one. Such is the power of autism.
Swapping on health regen amulets was absolutely mandotory if you actually wanted to do extended without TSO/Makhleb
New Mumo rules:
All artefacts are banned unless they are terrible and make it more likely for you to lose
>>143841712
One guy yelling at his computer screen that the dude's win is invalidated because he forgot to drop his starting robe on D1 and did so in D3 was fun until it became obvious he wasn't joking. Even dicks made the invisible robe of rage as a joke for how angry they were, as a joke.
Too bad autists can't get jokes.
It only went downhill from there.
So is it normal for the inventory in mpa-PCB to only go up to y or is there something wrong?
This is still 4.0.1 by the way.
>>143842137
Well if the game actually supported conducts then indeed the win using the robe wouldnt have counted
New MuMo rules:Have fun. If you're not having fun, it doesn't count.
>>143842196
yeah mpa-pcb reduced inventory size by 1 in exchange for giving everyone a free stone of lore at level 25
We should ban rF from Mumo to make it truly hardcore
>>143842419
but it's in crawl
those rules are impossible
how about a completely naked mumo
only rings and maybe amulets allowed
>>143842639
so a felid?
What if we make MuMo like Lord of Darkness III
Change the runes to all pan and hell runes and no lair/orc/vaults allowed
What if the rules were fine
>>143842497
Sounds good to me.
>>143843153
They obviously arent otherwise people would stop having to ask for clarifications about them while getting different answers
>remove 3 cards
>since there aren't enough cards in it anymore, remove deck of wonders

How the hell do you kill basalisks in PCB? I've been faulted for the last goddamn time.
Getting to level 25 in mpa-PCB gives the message "You have evolved into a Stone of Lore."

I got to the end of Lair as a SpEn and I feel weak as fuck, what gives?
I dipped into Shoals to see what was good and I get rekt by everyone

killing shit in pcb isn't exactly complicated
just dont fight them if you don't have the resists for your breath
basilisks breathe poison and greater basilisks have nether and i think one other element (disenchantment?)
>>143843879
I'm starting to think it's a contest, like, the devs are taking turns justifying removing things from crawl systematically and sometimes adding stuff on top to cover it up, until the whole thing falls and crumbles to dust. Kinda like Jenga
oh yeah they also removed salamander stormcallers
>>143844834
Theyre trying to turn it into a linesprint tabfast
>>143844890
por que
>>143844890
Good fuck stormcallers
>>143844739
Darkness.
Also you need Free Action since they paralyse you.
So which of the 3 decks left has the summoning cards
>>143845179
decks of war are a mix of 50/50 summonings/battle
>nemelex was always about decks of summoning
>after a million reworks they finally removed them
>>143846013
nemelex hasn't gifted decks of summoning for a while
they were OP so they mixed them with decks of battle to create decks of war
so now you get a 50% chance to get a useful card (summoning), a 45% chance to get a worthless Battle card, and a 5% chance to get Elixir
Gozag fucking OP.

>>143846684
And that's a winner. 5 runes.
Special thanks to the rF+++ helm I found to keep my poor flammable ass from getting burned. Plus the +8 flame flail that carried me through the early game.
>>143847957
>ascended with 16864 shekels and the orb of zot
Mu of Gozag is just so damned optimal.
>>143848376
Not having to shell out for food shops is definitely nice. I also found means you effectively get an "extra" shop offered every time you set one up, since the otherwise mandatory food shop offering doesn't appear.
The downside is, well, you have to be a Mu, with all the wonderful aptitudes that brings with it.
>>143848551
Mummies have average aptitudes. THey're basically humans that don't need to eat
>>143847957
Nice job man. How'd you like MuFi^Gozag?
>>143848634
>-2 across the board
>average
>>143848634
>Mu
>Average apts
They're pretty shit, anon. Mu are definitely the most fun race though.
>>143848703
>>143848742
They also gain exp terribly slow, making it even worse
>>143848634
Straight -2s is not average.
Oh yeah, and Gozag lets mummies get potion effects that are otherwise impossible.
>>143848662
Gl actually. I can't live without those damn nets in the early game.
It was pretty interesting, being my first Mu win and my first Gozag win. Potion petition really helped out in some tight situations and Bribe is goddamn broken-tier.
Honestly the shops probably made the least impact of all, although still nice.
Also new Elf is hell, who the fuck thought those elementalists were a good idea?
>hurr some players abuse killholes so we'll just completely fuck over everyone
>>143848914
the key now is to make like 10 killholes
So if one gets blown up you go to the second
>>143848914
Gl is a great mummy start too, since you don't really want to use your starting shield right off the bat. For elf, you just didn't dig enough killholes. Those new guys still fall to a 3 or 4 path killhole.
>>143849282
>Those new guys still fall to a 3 or 4 path killhole.
How? Every single turn they obliterated all the walls around me and made like 6 more elementals.
>>143849378
You let your initial killhole get wrecked and break LoS to lure them into the second bend. However, a better way to kill them is by throwing a stone and closing a door to break LoS or break LoS with the unbreakable stone walls of the vault.
>>143849624
Actually that kinda makes me wonder why their solution to killholing was to make the horseshit elementalists (that just enforce killholing harder somehow) instead of just making the damn walls out of stone or something.
>>143849827
They'd actually have to address killholing as a strategy, which is problematic because of how crawl reallly works. They'd probably have to throw less enemies at you, more dangerous enemies that don't kill you just by being in LoS (IE no damnation or torment since the only way to mitigate it IS with LoS shenanigans that digging facilitates) rather than mobs of easy fodder and rework formicids altogther. Its a slapshod solution to a large problem, although I think a better solution is just to give elementalists, sorcerers, and annihilators a ray of digging or LRD. Perhaps the destructive ray that eyes have. That fuckboy who was talking about removing wands of digging was an idiot because he thought it influences the ascent, when the real problem is that it does very REAL work at killing most of the dungeon and makes a fool out of pandemonium. They'd actually have to come up with a new postend that doesn't rely on the crutch that is enemies that kill or ruin you just by being in LoS, and maybe a postend that isn't completely reliant on haste.
>>143850332
Solution: more custom hell/pan vaults with steel/crystal walls.
>>143850580
Killholes are actually pretty shit in most of the hells. Completely useless in Dis for example. There are some amount of pans with crystal/stone walls (like disco pan!), but I think just throwing more undiggable walls is just the same as the elementalists. If they truly want to address it, they need to make it less viable rather than making it harder to accomplish.
>>143850332
>crawl with smaller maps with less numerous, more dangerous enemies who give more XP
>removemore egregious LOS Cancer
>maybe XP for pressing > too
>>143848914
can't you draw the potion/fortitude/helm/elixir/alchemist/velocity to get similar or better buffs than gozag's potion petition?
>>143850897
I always thought exp on LoS would be a really nice change to crawl. Like 20% of the total exp value on sight, 80 for when you kill it.
>>143851720
you mean 50%
and then the exp you earn on sight and on kill is base seen/kill exp/number of times you've seen/killed that enemy
>>143851416
I dunno, Gozag can hand out some pretty nice potion sets.
Like HW/haste/might/agi all at once.
>>143851896
That's just Silly.
>>143851896
I don't think Sil's system would work for crawl.
Why doesn't anyone play Sil tho
How to fix elf
Its now called giant
The loot vault is filled to the brim with juggernauts and iron giants
>>143852097
Already played it to death.
>>143852125
Considering the usual loot, an exp piñata would be much better
>>143852097
Plenty of people play Sil.
Most people play different games in cycles though, and just nobody is playing Sil right now.
>>143852125
>WE'LL TAKE DIS
>AND MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE
Not going to lie though, I'd never go back to elf. You'd be free toremove itsince no one tries to go there anymore. I see through your posts like open doors, crawl dev.
>>143852285
Most good players already skip elf anyway because the requirements and risks dont outweight the possible loot unless you are desperate for a specific spell
No wait
guys
wait
get this
what if instead of destroying walls and creating elementals
they create walls, possibly stone/metal/crystal, and lock you inside your own kill hole
this way they kill your killhole, and also force you to waste charges of your digging/disint to get out, and if you try to make a permanent kill hole by making use of natural stone/metal/crystal walls you end up getting sealed in and have to tele out
Elf should randomly replace vaults just like the lair branches
>>143852575
That is scummy and degenerate because it could be abused by formicids
>>143852694
How? If you're a Formicid you'll just end up permanently trapped and starve unless you have necromutation
>>143852694
Its fine, formicids are losing digging anyway because it doesnt go well with their brute force melee designs
>>143852727
They create crystal walls where the empty space should be
which means that they can literally moonwalk away by digging the rock behind them
How about monster stone arrow and lcs get buffed the more wall tiles are around yourself
30% increased damage per tile and if its more than 3 then it always hits
>>143852821
You can already moonwalk away by just zig-digging in general tho
>>143852989
that gets you hit by enemies
>>143852975
wew lad I think we have a winner
also make them bounce off of walls, and make them cast it out of LOS, so they can bounce it into your killhole
>>143852771
doesn't digging killholes go perfectly with their brute force design?
>>143852575
>>143852975
>its already been pointed out earlier in the thread that the issue with killholing is systemic to the way crawl encounters work mechanically and that elementalists are just treating the symptom rather than the cause
>/rlg/ posts a bunch of bandagework "solutions" which work just as poorly or worse than elementalists
We'll make crawl devs out of you yet.
>>143853326
Oh anon, they're just having fun. Its pretty amusing to think of all these silly solutions and how a character would have to deal with them.
Who is the best god, and why is itAshenzari?
>>143853326
What if they make Deep Elf Death Mages cast only that Lost Soul spell, and make them cast it even when you're not in their LOS, and monsters can get Lost Soul revived over and over and over unless you take care of that Death Mage
What if you got a slaying malus if you stayed in killholes for too long because your character gets a wall phobia
>>143853517
My man. Chei used to be my favorite, but i can't play so well with him anymore. As I play more, I find myself going back to Ashen more and more. She is my first ascension god and most beloved.
>>143853545
Doom guy class when
>>143853545
Isn't this how it used to work, bar them casting it out of LOS?
>>143853579
>Claustrophobia (-4)
FUND IT.
>>143853545
Do you get exp when you kill something which is then replaced by a lost soul? Because if so fuck yes
How about elf:3 shows the corrupted nature of the elves and has been partially invaded by the abyss causing the walls to change all the time
What if Elf alternated 50% of the time with Dwarf?
>>143853942
they removed all dwarf enemies
>>143853967
better remove Elf since we can't fix it then
>>143853967
So add them back in.
Dwarven Firstborn, Diggers, Runesmiths, Forge Priests, Shieldbearers, Sharpeyes. Runic Golems and of course dancing weapons.
Throwing in some C and E too.
Necromutation is the new rMut
but since they removed amulets of clarity Necromutation is also the new ctrl q
therefore if you don't want mutations and you don't want to play jiyva/zin then you better ctrl q

This is the deepest I've ever got with a magical char.
What should I skill now? I've got so many books, I can learn most of the spells of te game, except necromutation and some traslocation ones like passage and Cblink. Should I still bother with fighting?
Also I've got a brand weapon scroll, should I use it on my +9 demon trident of venom? It has done wonders so far, and I also have ignite poison so I wasn't sure if changing it would have been a good idea.
>>143855106
Also skill screen.
>>143855175
aw shit, I'm also a pale draconian of sif muna. Steam breath is the best right?
>>143855243
Yes.
>Melee dude

>Ranged dude
>Breath steam
>He has to get close where he doesn't shine and you can easily blast
At first when I became pale I was disappointed, now I think that I won't be able to play any other draconian.
>>143855106
>>143855175
Your character is looking really good. That should be enough fighting for quite a while since you have a massive HP pool. You also have a really great spell set for dealing with most of the threats in the dungeon. If you can, post dump with books in your inventory so we can see what spells you can potentially learn and advise about defenses and other stuff. Otheriwse, you're looking pretty rock solid.
>>143855175
where ur buckler at
I wish the Infra Arcana wiki/boards weren't deleted. The new website where the DL is hosted has zero information on the game, and the readme/Tome doesn't explain a lot of weird shit or specific interactions (like if it's possible to unload firearms in your inventory, or if you have to drop them on the ground every time you want to unload them)
Game is fun as fuck elsewise though.
>>143855448
I have 38 books here and there in the dungeon.
I have ALL the spells avaiable. The only ones I don't have books for are CBlink, passage of goluria and necromutation. Maybe also death's door.
>>143855472
There's a runed one in vaults, should I invest in bucklers? How much shields do I need again, 5? I never used a shield on any char.
>>143855630
Luckily the game is open source so literally all the information about it is available at https://github.com/martin-tornqvist/ia
Code diving for info is certainly not the most enjoyable thing though.
>>143855903
I have no idea how to do that. I'll just keep mucking around in game and hope for the best.
>>143855843
If you really do have ALL the spells, learn haste/regen/Dmissile and a cloud spell like freezing cloud or Pcloud. Forget magic dart and searing ray, possibly shroud if you aren't attentive in using it.
You should very certainly pickup a buckler if you're going to stick with the dtrident. How much EV do you have? How many pips of steatlh? I think its 5 for bucklers, very small investment for large returns at this point.
>>143856114
Bucklers are 2.4 (Tr/Fo/Na/Ce/Og)/4(most)/5.4(Ko/Ha)/7.2(Sp).
>>143856114
Yes I have those spells avaiable, I do have 0 in necromancy for regen tho.
Should I invest on charms till I have 1% on haste? Right now is on 21%. Also should I forget repel missiles for deflect, does it last forever untill it's broken like repel?
>>143856187
I might just as well pick it up then.
>>143856358
Bucklers are 100% worth it. The only reason not to is to 2-hand. But if you are a master caster, you probably don't want to 2-hand.
>>143856358
Haste is definitely fine at like 10%, although ideally you'll want it at 1% if you can. DMissile is much harder to break, and does a better job of deflecting shit. Obviously, it IS based on your EV so if your EV is shit, invest it further. Dmissile is fine at like 30%. Get regen to a decent spellpower, it really does make the difference in a drawn out battle. Low spellpower regen is like getting a free curing, high spellpower is like getting a free HW. A little necromancy goes a long way.
Did Chris fix the Always small levels -option to work for all the dungeons in 4.0.2 or is it still broken?
Because it works in mpa-PCB 4.0.1 and it's great.
>>143856791
>fix
always_small and ironman_small not working on levels flagged as BIG was an intentional part of the code.
mpa scrapped the line which prevented this because it was stupid.
>>143857024
>it's a feature
>>143857096
Here's the change in question. Literally all it does is remove the line which prevents always_small from working on DF1_BIG levels (i.e. Orc Caves, Giant's Hall).
>>143857345
And of course I am cursed.
What is not clear about the rules?
Dicks only threw his fencer gloves at enemies because they gave slaying in his version, they're just overpowered EV gloves in later versions so they're allowed.

Jesus christ, Infra Arcana is so fucking hard and random.

>if you kick it open, enemy on the other side gets a free attack

I have no idea how the fuck I'm supposed to deal with this.
Am I doing it right?
>>143862134
All those potentials should be Superb.
>>143862195
Are you implying I did it wrong? I have no idea what I'm doing so it's very possible, I only made sure learning and charisma were high, I wanna farm and buy/sell for lots.
Also it's Elona+ so it might be a change they made?
>>143860856
Or it might ruin the nice items I keep finding, like this one! By the way, nobody can cheat as much at Sokoban as I do. If this continues, my luck will soon be at -13.
>>143842196
Did MPA change the way the labyrinth works as well?
I forgot tree would cancel out my tele
how fucked am I?
>>143863198
pretty fucked
does your god let you do some kind swappy thing?
Can you swap Lernean Hydra for your ancestral Ghost?
If you can, maybe you can shit out as many summons as possible before it swims back to you
>>143863835
The only thing I can summon are butterflies
>>143862695
Yes, it's similar now to all other dungeons with no stupid darkness.
>>143864014

>>143864017

no haste for yourself, then wand of frost/cold to make a freezing cloud over the water to slow Lerny? Kinda late now since you're almost dead, but it's something

The only one of those which has any significance is bad lcs rolls. The rest are laughable unless you're going to elf with 0-2 pips of MR for some reason.
>>143854670
With high MR you can do ok without clarity. But yeah, they've switched out one "no brainer" for another
>>143871929
0 resist corrosion rings are enough for slime pits
>>143872616
If you go there with low MR and aren't yet ready for abyss then you earned the fault. If you're diligent about shouting and drawing out the elves slowly then you really won't have any problems.

If you can handle abyss:5 or have the MR then you dont need elf in the first place

Nope, there used to be a spell that allowed you to create clouds with those potions though. But they took it out because it was too cool

No.
It was bloat.
>>143879474
>>143879490

If nobody is having fun it's probably better just to cut fun altogether
PCB comes so close to a good necromancer experience in a roguelike, but ultimately it's tedious shit.
>>143880257

>>143880530

PCB should change the black dragon's affinity to disintegration instead of acid, and the green dragon should get an acidic bite but a poisonous breath.

Solid idea.
>>143899602
That's upsetting.
>>143899758
they took trample away from dragon form too
and ozocubo's armour and ice form synergy
and statue form and stonesking synergy
and they made statue form a little worse
>>143899645
Add resistances of course.
>>143899773
It's like that in NetHack.
>>143900093
That is also upsetting.

It just makes sense, when you think of black do you think of acid? Fuck no, you think of death.
>devaluing
Then why would you complain about not being able to resist its breath?
>>143897292
spider form gives 1.0 movespeed so it makes nagas faster and sp/ce/fe slower
>>143900641
The new god that gives you a JoJo stand is pretty fun because of all the positioning games you can play with it
>>143900668
I think of black dragons as acid because of dungeons and dragons
>>143900668
Black is acid in ADoM, as well.
That said, it'd be nice if poison wasn't so useless as a player element.
>>143900668
>Fuck no, you think of death.
And from there you jump to disint instead of nether? The thing which DEATH drakes breathe?
>>143900624
I thought it was higher than that. Still, you run into black dragons of various sorts much earlier than any of the current disint breathing enemies.
>>143900778
yeah, but it used to give you .8 movespeed
it was a godsend to transmuters that just joined chei
>>143900809
That seems to be the most interesting one of the new gods by far.
>>143900668
it's okay black doesn't always mean acid
sometimes acid is blue and black means shadow or disint or nether
and sometimes acid is brown, when it comes from earth elementals
except sometimes the brown earth thing is shards, like from earth _hounds_
but then at other times shards are yellow/white, like from crystal drakes

>>143907732
In case anyone was wondering this is because potions of experience hand out (750 * your new level) experience points for skills, but there's a hidden cost multiplier for skills --regardless of their level-- that increases as you level up.
This means the effect that the potion has on your skills never actually increases with level, and actually begins to diminish past level 5.

I'm really enjoying it, the biomes add a lot of randomness and flavor. Rest of the CoQ posts in this thread are by me as well.

The game is still in development, and you can't finish the MQ yet as far as I know, but it's receiving updates almost every Friday. Some are small fixes and balance passes, others add content like one huge town or biomes. If there's a major issue the devs do add hotfixes quite quickly.
Any way, I like it, and the tiles are beautiful in my opinion. The few songs that are in really fit the general mood as well, looking forward to the future sound and music.

It's complete garbage for a lot of the magic backgrounds (to learn summon ice beast on an IE with auto training, you either train a billion ice so you can cast it solely on that, or blow yourself up miscasting until you get summonings skill), especially with the "obvious" god for blasty types.

>>143949538
save it for serpent fight, the scroll has a much higher power level than the staff. Use it to dispel a summon round ideally.
>>143946586
Don't talk shit about killholes.
>>143948606
It's either that or getting the fuck out when some high-level unique decides it's time to summon literally 100 enemies around you.
Hence you should save it for the serpent.
>>143951260

Just had to get the gossamer rune without rPois. Surprisingly not too difficult to do.
Maybe 70000 turns left... the fact that every "standard" level is a maze level, because I'm retarded and picked the mazewalker race, doesn't make things easier.
>>143957954

>4.0.2 randarts are bad

doesn't seem very likely, especially since I have that cursed fast forward stone which makes the turn counter go up twice as fast... also, the AC of -7 no longer seems to be good enough for this depth!

>resist shards
>resist shards

Goddamnit.
In my never-ending quest to get a pip of shard resist I've at least covered my other resists quite well.
Such is life as a Death Sword.
>>143960832
>0% shards resist
>but full disenchantment resist
Well at least now you can drink those essences without fear of losing them.
No shards does kinda mean that you can't end the game yet.
I like how chris' idea of death swords being balanced is that they are super strong if you grind for 50 hours.
I wonder if the resist game would be better in randarts though.
>>143961054
Yeah I've got most anything I need to start ending the game but anything with shards fucks me up too much and if I don't kill those annoying giants before the serpent it'll be hell.
I know I should've gone randarts but I started this game while drunk over 6 months ago.
I wonder if Death-Swords are more fun with the new randarts.
>>143961308
What's your damage like?
Keep in mind the serpent has Rockets and Summon Cyberdemons as well.
Earthquake melee also checks shard resistance.
It's one of the most crucial high resists for the end game.
>>143962720
I'm a fucking monster against Dragons and Giants and even other than that the damage is pretty good too.

What/how are you playing to end up with a town like that? Actually looks a lot nicer than any of the default PCB layouts.
>>143972214
It's the no_wilderness birth option. So I dont have to waste time running around the map constantly and doing useless dungeons.
>>143972426
I thought it might have been that, given the presence of the dungeon in the center especially, but couldn't reconcile that with there being holes in the town wall. What happens if you leave through those?
>>143972749
Nothing, there's just some trees and a perma wall all around the town

>>143977089
Disregard that, I splatted.
>>143977245
How?
>>143977310
I'm very sad.
Spilled some beer on my keyboard on the weekend and noticed the "g" key got stuck sometimes but didn't really think it was that big of a deal.
However now "h" got stuck this time too while I was bumping into a Q in the arena who summoned two Black Reavers behind me and I kept running down the hallway with "h" stuck and they stormed me to death from behind.
I don't even know anymore.
Weirdest splat I probably ever had.
I was getting real fucking tired of that death sword though, maybe it's a good thing.
>>143977642
You are free now brother.
Free to play a race/class which can choose its resists, perhaps cast spells, or use magic devices well (RIP death swords).
>>143977907
Yeah, playing a Death Sword really sucks.
However their one saving grace is good device skill.
I had [Legendary 5] which let me use most devices aside from the really high-end ones.
But shit AC and getting disenchanted by everything in the endgame hurts the soul.
>>143978181
Yeah, the devices was one of the only things that I liked about playing my lucky death sword who is now permanently on ice.
Probably one of the worst changes of 4.0.2 here.
>>143979231
That really sucks.
Death Swords really, really suck now.
I was playing 4.0.0 and 4.0.1
Anyway, continuing my Deathlygrind of Poseidon Monk.

>>143980013
Cinderella got Nexus Resistance from her slippers?
>>143980653
If it was a thing in that universe, maybe. Look at it thematically. It protects against the "evil" damage types (except light I guess, but why would "good" damage damage a "good" artifact as well), makes you look better in the eyes of others (+CHR, sust CHR), but encumbers your movement (-speed, stealth, dex). And being made of out glass it's vulnerable to rocks and shit (-shards).
You're either over or under thinking it, but whichever it is you're in a too strict frame of reference.

it has a new layout and it's level 40 now, although I think there are still weird fumes around
>>143985212
*mpa-pcb, I mean
>>143985212
yeah clouded changed it to make it not fume awful never do it until it's far too late in the game to be helpful, and over to a "fun hardish fight with a bunch of jewelry on the ground"
>>143985935
fume was never really THAT awful
there was pretty much no danger except nexus effects so as soon as you have rNx++ and Sinv you can clear it out
>>143984827
You're doing it way too early.

>>143986274
>as soon as you have rNx++
For some characters that is not very soon at all.
Is shouting in crawl an act of degeneracy?
>>143986446
yeah it can take a long-ass time but it's not so much "DANGER AWFUL NEVER DO" as it is a boring resist check

not that? same, except your character might get permanently fucked up by a nexus breath from out of vision
>Chaos deities give you gifts
Are they going to change my race?
I need to cure it asap if yes.
>>143987209
i had a beastman chaos-warrior get turned into a snotling once I think
luckily I had the beastman self-poly mut so I just spammed that until I became a better race (at the cost of a few permanent stat drains)
>>143987526
Well I'm only level 34 before the big grind so I might as well try it outfor fun.
I'm a Demigod so any other race will be a downgrade since they can't get Demonic Grasp AND Evasion.
>>143987674
They only gift when you level so there are only so many chances to get fucked over at this point. I've also experienced a beastman getting turned into a zombie then a snotling, but I had no way to change it back. Which god did you get?
>>143987829
Don't know.
Guess I have to level up to find out.
>>143988089
It should be on your character screen, at the top. Nothing's there?
>>143987209
who is your chaos deity? The gift probabilities depend on the god. But yeah some will totally change your race permanently.
Cloning pits is my favorite quest, so much loot to get in there.

only 2 do not gift poly, and khorne isn't one of them
you can probably remove the mut in Zul if you want...or you can play on with it!
>>143989372
still, some have poly many times in the gift list to make it more likely. So Khorne isn't that bad.
>>143989372
Yeah, I'm going to have fun.

BLOODY FISTS FOR THE BLOODGOD
>>143989575
fuck yeah
since beastmen start with a mutation, you can roll them until you get chaos deity if you want to intentionally have the chaos experience with classes besides chaos-warrior
>>143989575
if you play an actual chaos-warrior you can just learn polymorph demonlord and ignore snotling stats
>>143989684

>>143989789

>>143989789
>is it possible to reroll for a double-deity beastman chaos warrior
That sounds like a very PCB kind of thing a least.
Someone should wizmode it if it's possible.
I feel like Polyphemus would be a more dangerous unique if he WASN'T accompanied by a catoblepas.
It just conveniently petrifies everyone else for you.
>>143990241
I've been rolling for a while now and haven't seen it come up.
my suspicion is double-chaos-deity doesn't work because there is probably only one internal variable for the player to hold a reference to a chaos deity.
Guys, what's the most classy roguelike for noobs?

>>143990657
Infra Arcana not a bad classy noob choice either
>>143989034
hehehe
I remember when that happened
Anyone got the screenshot where the level 1 wizard bookcasts wishing in the teirinyo island because it was one of his starting books
>>143986603
yeah I agree I exaggerated the danger of the original quest, which I have yolo-ed into safely several times early without any serious trouble. OTOH I have also gotten some characters crippled.
But the new quest's difficulty isn't that bad, it's set to a higher level than the actual fight would justify, just so that the jewelry drops at a good-but-not-insane depth. It's intended as an early chance at some reasonable but will-be-replaced jewelry.
Androids are seriously stupid strong. I just realized they can shoot rockets indefinitely using their HP when their MP runs out and they're basically spamming them for free against uniques if you have a staff of healing.
It's ridiculous
>>143993861
they also cannot have their stats swapped, their life drained, or their race changed. They get good stats as they level, and they get AC as they level.
>>143994142
And let us not forget it doesn't take 15 hours to get to level 35. It usually takes 30 minutes.
>>143994243
that's true, but I think it takes them longer to actually get to 50 than most races despite that Hard to find enough of the truly end-tier artifacts for each slot while keeping everything covered. But they get into the 30s super fast yes.
>>143994361
Slapping [stability] on a high end body armor can bring you to the 40s and slapping [immortality] on a similar one will bring you to 50.
I mean if you're gonna go android might as well go all out
>>143994662
yeah of course rune knights are able to 50 faster than other classes of android

Rune knight jumpstart guide:
Basically the trick for rune knight is so easy you don't even need a video for it
at level 1 you just stairdance until you find a a good/excellent piece of armor or you sell junk until you get 1 K so you can buy a leather scale mail or leather jacket at the starting town, that alonggets you to level 5.
Then you start spamming rune of protection of stacks of items to grab the initial dosh. That also helps with the money. When you get to level 10 you use a rune of fire on the leather scale you are wearing to bump you to 15.
When you get to level 15 you can start spamming rune of light on lanters and sell them back at the general shop (if the shopcap is 750 or more) or the black market (if the cap is <750) because they're worth around >1K each. Since the black market cuts the prices, every lightlamp can be sold for 550 gold so a stack sells for around 60 K. Since every town carries lamps in stacks of 50 and you don't even have to do the tedious work of buying every single armor in the shop, it's ezdosh for starting out.
You grab potions of clarity in the potion shop (blue 5), there's a chance for them to spawn in every city, so you gotta check all four towns. There's a really high chance you'll find a stack of five once every 10 towns and that's plenty to work with.
Once you have the dosh, start selling junk and buying good overpriced stuff at the black market.
It starts getting really diesel when you hit level 32, when you can slap stability on junk armor and sell it for 8 K for every robe. When you've got to that point you buy a shitton of armors, get around 1.5 Million gold and start gambling a shitton of scrolls in morivant. You'll eventually find acquirement and *acquirement*. Go read it in olympus or 555 if you're playing mpa-pcb. If you read them there you're bound to get an artifact that blings you up to level 40, you'll slap [stability] on it and then do the whole thing again until you get to level 50.
Pretty simple, no?
>>144000948
>>144001096
>>144001365
I have removed fun before and I will again
>>144001096
You know you get into too many 4chan arguments when you have a reaction image titled "liberal_faggot"
Having seen everyone wax lyrical about them, I've tried my hand at Mummies and Gozag, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting them to the Lair. Any advice for Mummys in general and Gozag specifically?
If you follow that guide you'll get to level 40+ in around one hour without even doing any of the quests or clearing any of the dungeons.
The real problem is that getting >40 is kinda boring without cloning and 555. It used to be so easy that you just read acquirement in 555 for crazy armors and got to level 50 in one hour more of work. Now it's just a drag like everything else in pcb.
>>144002053
555 would only be after serpent though right? Are you supposed to kill serpent before 50 or am I missing out on something here?
https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/16967
so this...is the power....of open source.....woah......
>>144001353
One reason I didn't do lamps on OG runeknight was that I didn't want to check all 4 towns. You can check for clarity in the shop, buy the whole armor shop and rest at the inn to reset. Another thing is that you want to stip down completely before you quaff your clarity since it'll fill your MP much easier.
>>144002235
>555 would only be after serpent though right?
Only in 4.0.2
there was a bug that made a 555 area spawn before the serpent
>>144002292
the shop thing is fairly quick. You just rest in morviant, go to the outpost, check black market and potion shop. Then tele to telmora, do the same. Tele to angwil, do the same, tele to morivant, rest and do the whole thing again.

>>144002018
Up until you can fund a couple shops it's gonna be rough, thems the breaks. Clearing Orc:1 for all the popcorn orcs may be a good way to accumulate some quick dosh, just be careful.
I'd say try and find a nice weapon ASAP, weapon cross training may help you if you find a good artifact that's not your specific skill.
Cover that damn rF- hole the moment you can.

(this is all assuming you're a Gl or Fi) Prelair, it'll be all about picking your fights and being absolutely sure you can escape. Get used to the practice of either pillar dancing strong enemies (especially with a weapon of venom!) or "parking" them upstairs to deal with later. The biggest problem in lair is being able to kill spiny frogs without getting fucked, and it mostly has to do with your attack delay and HP. A +0 dire flail and min delay is enough to clear all of lair, but if you have something like a morningstar of venom or draining, use that. Make sure you're skilling fighting much more aggressively than you would on another character, since that is your only good apt. Use your potion petition aggressively as well, since you'll be rolling in dosh and its a very renewable resource compared to scrolls.

I don't know that anyone's played draconians much since the major changes to them.

samurai already have access to a stunning blow in their first book, don't they?
>>144006592
I wish I'd get a stunning blow job even once.
>>144005774
It's not passive, you get an ability to hit-to-stun.
I like regeneration for convenience (it's not normal regen, it's like the troll monster race). Maybe the breath one is good?
>>144007042
Is that magic resistance like Spellwarp Automaton or Unbeliever ego or is it an ability?

>>144007492

you can still use a scroll of mundanity, but that will permanently nuke the item down to its base type

Can weaponmasters enchant runesowrds?
So how do I exploit this thing?
if you polymorph into a monster, do you drop permanently cursed items?
Say you use the polymorph monster wand on yourself or you meet the variant mantainer or you polymorph into another creature that can't hold things as a shapeshifter
do permacursed items just drop off ?
>>144007784

>>144008235
You get exp for cloning things?
>>144008317
Just noticed that too.
>>144007629
but then you don't have troll regen.
>>144008079
Pretty sure you'll drop it if you don't have the slot for it (where else would it go?), though this isn't really useful unless you're a possessor or something. Every normal race has the same slots except for centaurs and boots.
>>144008423
you no get xp for killing things, and cloning it gives you more to kill
it's a very high-level monster that is immobile and does no damage outside of melee range, so it's easy to kill if you can do enough damage
The Draconian Stunning Blow seems to be a lot better (and cheaper) than the samurai stunning blow.
>>144008423

>>144005221
>>144005934
Thanks for the help. Does the advice change much playing a Conjurer?
>>144009218
they resist everything so shard ball won't be any good
farm 555 for some rods of manaballs or something
>>144009140
>2 weapons x 5 blows = ????
Oh fuck.
There should be a limit to my stupidity but each day I keep rising to new heights.
>>144009418
I am farming 555, for the past 20 minutes or so at least. Haven't found any manaballs but I found this.
>>144009418

>>144009603Throw it.
>>144009603
dont listen to the description's lies
it only does 5000 unresistable damage, it's not actually instant death
>>144008983
Pretty good, but not without fault. Everyone says its total shit, but you can actually have a lot of fun with it.
>>144009387
I'm really not experience with mummy conjurer in particular, but it would be MUCH different. I've done a lot of mummy wizard, and it mostly ends being being shenanigans the whole way through. I imagine conjurer would be a lot of blasting things with battle orb and magic dart, or just straight up IMB. Hopefully someone better than me can offer you better insight.
>>144009796
I just did at an ancient green but sadly it didn't do very much, only about 4 stars of damage.

Why doesn't the Wand of heal wounds scalate with Evocations? That would go GREAT with my FUCKING AMAZING PAKELLAS DWARFI can't believe I made it to Lair:4, I have to use every bit of Piety and MP to heal myself right away. Any way to minimize dmg?
>>144013761
If you get bison, make, cmake, flex, libncurses, libgcc, zlib, and pkg-config you will generally have everything you need to compile any roguelikes.
Most of these come with any packaged Linux distro. Installing the remaining ones is easy on linux.
Installing them on Mingw is easy because of pacman.
Installing them on cygwin is easy because of the installation process, but it is easy to install stuff you dont need if you dont know exactly what you are doing.

Melee red dragon, my combat is already at legendary[57] though the exp penalty sucks.
>>144016563
Dragons seemed cool, but the exp penalties make me want to vomit.
>>144016652
Yeah I don't think I'm going to be playing another dragon after this for a really long time. PCB is already sort of grindy and it's races with big exp penalties that erase a lot of the fun out of it, it's one of the reasons I never play anything like demigod.

IIRC makefile.cyg isn't needed, you should use Makefile.std. Open it and uncomment the lines just below the title 'Variation -- "main-gcu.c"' and make sure the other variations are commented out, then run that make with makefile.std
>>144017754
There's a reason it's so low though, it not only is exciting but it also sucks.
>>144016415
If you are using mpa-sil. Just run
make -f Makefile.std install
with the default configuration and it will compile fine assuming you have the binaries.
-mno-cygwin is an outdated argument.
>>144016415
open the makefile in notepad or some shit and edit out both instances of -mno-cygwin
it compiles fine after that
>>144018454

Thanks lads. We Sil now.
Smug piece of shit.
>>144019221
IIRC there is one other bug where the game tries to load some non-existent things for some fire or water tiles or something? Anyways, when you run into it whatever it is, just search the term and uncomment it and all the neighbors of a similar form and make again.
Any other sil anons remember which thing I'm tlaking about?
Should I save this for the Serpent level? Or just quaff it now for the boosts?
>>144008980
you should see what a low hp mortally wounded blood knight can do
>>144018715
i think PCB really overvalues ID spells
there are a bunch of classes and realms that get identify/judge around level 30, when you can buy an infinitely-recharging staff of ID at level FIVE
>>144019674
just quaff it on the next dungeon floor you go to probably. You'll find more before you're ready for the big J.
>>144019773
I think what it highly values is the saved inventory slot, not the capability to id in the first place.
>>144019674
It's potion of enlightenmend plus self-knowledge plus wis plus int
so the actual level-specific effect is the same as the much more common lesser enlightenment potions
>>144019901
but then there's shit like samurai, weaponmasters, smiths, rings monsters, etc that get the ability to ID one specific *type* of item but still need to carry normal ID for everything else
>>144019773
I doubt any of that has even had much thought to rebalancing since stuff besides rods started recharging on their own.
Is this Dwarf of Pakellas actually going to win the game?
God, look at my 3 fucking rods. I can get rid of almost everything instantly while keeping myself healthy. Fire explosion, bolt of unaccuracy (which is pretty accurate for me), and scattershot, which oneshots every unarmored thing on a giant radius.
I never won before lmao I'm so happyI don't have any rune nor poison resistance and I got Spider Nest and Shoals. Shoals may be easy due to my range but if I don't get PoisonR I don't know what I will do

Clear out Orc Mines if you haven't already. Clear out The rest of the dungeon, then shoals. Clear out Floors 1-4 of the Vaults. Dip into the Depths if you feel up to it.

Good advice, clearing Mines now
>>144021819
If you haven't played in a while:
Dis:7 is a seething pit of despair.
Tartarus has Doom Hounds which create non-summoned enemies nearby you. And Shadow fiends were replaced with miasma melee guys who are tankier and torment a lot.
>>144021819
doom hounds are new i guess
It was a little hard but nothing my dragon couldn't handle.
If you play PCB you should fall of a cliff
>>144022532
I'd float gently down.
I bet the jews are behind this.
>>144021819
Dis is more awful than ever. New iron giant enemy that will absolutely wreck you if you let it get near you. It moves very slowly though, so sometimes you can just evoke your feet. Tartarus and anywhere with shadow fiends are now a little worse, because shadow fiends were upgraded to tzhadow fiends, which make miasma rings around you in addition to being tankier and doing their usual shadow fiend stuff. Doom hounds are new, and nail you with a version of an unresistable mark that durably summons tzhadow fiends, reapers and other awful things right on top of you for a few turns. Expect to fight like 3 or 4 demons per howl. They have literally no MR though, so its worth carrying around a paralyze wand to neutralize them on sight.
>>144021819
Cocytus has shard shrikes, avoid fighting packs in the open, theyll wreck you. Also wellsprings shoot water elementals at you (like phial of floods), does a fair bit of damage.
Tartarus has doom hounds which summon shit on you when Howled. Lots of tsitsmitles or whatever the fuck. Prety much shadow fiends
and dis is a shit show with iron giants, dont fight more than one at a time generally. Theyre slow and can be kited to an extent (they have iron shot tho).
Gehenna has stormcallers I guess that's new. Theyre not bad though

That is more an issue with map gen than long branches, but I feel you. Hell effects, enemies being pandemonium 2.0 and super shitty hell:7 layouts are the worst offenders. I wouldn't force the Cock:7 "Small hut in deep water surrounded by ice fiends" layout on anybody. That shit is so awful.

help how do i dispose of hydras as a cheinaga

Wands and throwing shit. If you've got the spell, conjure flame works wonders. otherwise moonwalk
>>144027372
how about ice form?
>>144027372
ice form works really well, 120% HP on top of naga's 120% HP and a freezing brand attack that slows hydras and does a whole lot of damage.
>>144027372
You can panic slouch if worse comes to worse. Otherwise, you'll have to rely on ice form and hope you don't get wrecked before you wreck them.

Nagas are stealthy as fuck, with chei dex even more so. or you can just 360 step from time
>>144027969
He might not have had the spare exp to invest further than whatever his base is. Probably like ###-#### natural pips, but TM is rather strapped for exp. He can naturally slither away if they're still asleep or whatever, but he has to do something if they notice him. Burning a step through time is a possibility, but maybe not as good as just slouching them 3 times.
>>144027780
ice form isn't as good as blade hands, but it's the next best thing assuming you don't have something like statue form. also maybe i'm remembering wrong but dosen't it also slow hydras because of the freeze proc?
>>144021000

>>144037348
i'd invest in more TSM/earth, get it bellow 10% and abuse the shit out of it.
Man, remember when slouch did damage based on the speed difference between you and the enemy?
Statue form slowed cheinaga could one shot pan lords.
