If you are a ruk caster, you 2shot orbs of fire with 27 throwing, around 60% damage, more with a good roll. Everything else that isn't a boss gets straight up one shot unless you get a shit roll.

If you can't cast ruk, get min delay with javelins and call it a day.

Not that anon, but look - because of dual spell schools, when you train Hexes you get cross training on Spectral Weapon and Fulminant Prism, when you train Charms, you get cross training on Death's Door, when you train Conjurations, you cross train the majority of elemental offensive spells and so on, and so on.
>>
>>145056379
What would be the use for it? Only escaping nets and constriction? But you usually don't even know which enemies carry nets until it's too late. Also knowing devs, they'd call it tedious (thus unwanted) to have a spell that you cast every time you see a gnoll, a merfolk, a naga/anaconda or that Zot/Abyss hentai monster.

Also increasing size decreases your Stealth and EV, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to use it ever. Now 1 tier smaller on the other hand... but then again - tedious etc., won't get implemented for the same reasons buffs like Condensation Shield were removed.

That's not so much cross training as it is a 1/2 or 1/3 XP penalty for multi-school spells.
Sure, training X helps with all partially-X spells, but those spells require 2-3 times more XP to begin with.

Why do these faggots make their control schemes annoying on purpose? It isn't hard to understand, it's just annoying to throw your hand all over your desk and hit 6 buttons at a time just to cast a spell.

I mostly play Roguelikes because the abilities are fun since the style is so minimalistic and allows that kind of creativity. This is ToMEs main, and practically only selling point. I just don't understand why you need to intentionally fuck up your control scheme. Hell, even Elona lets you hotkey spells.
>>
>>145076018
Press ~
Choose new (m)acro.
Press F1 then enter.
Enter za
Now pressing F1 makes you automatically cast the spell on a.
If you want it to automatically target the nearest dude, instead macro za\r
\r being the code for Enter
If you want to change which letters spells are on, press =s

Just because you are too dumb to read the controls, doesn't mean they don't exist. Enjoy your 1 button casting.

Subtle Casing is really good.

Play a Giant [literally anything], then enter the first town.

Pic related. The large green dot is a dude that will give you the key to locked door nearby. Behind this door is a metal cap (+2 armor) a potion, and a stone hammer. Unless you have anything better, wear the cap: armor is superior to dodge, at least for the first few dungeons. Talk to him again and he'll give you a quest to kill a wizard in a nearby dungeon. For your success, he'll give you a lightning-broadsword, some chainmail, and a potion.

After this, talk to the dude located at the pink dot. He will give you a quest to kill the tombrobber dude that probably killed you at the graveyard. Do not do this yet. Instead, wear the cap (or the best armor you can) and enter the dungeon. You should be almost invincible since everything on the first floor is very weak.

Gain a few levels, hope your enemies drop bodies. If they do, try to skin them: the ^ near the brown dot in the picture allows you to turn skins into armor for free. The higher your level when you make the armor, the more resistances it gives.

When you have at least 8 armor, you should be able to do clear the graveyard. Do so. Inside the crypt there is an item called the Sun Gem. Kill the dude, get the gem, and head back to town.

Next, decide who you're going to give the Sun Gem to. The Smith, located within the burgundy rectangle, will give you a really nice (2d10+8 and an additional effect, IIRC) hammer for it, the Plowman, located at the purple dot, will probably give you something too, I don't know, and the Scholar, located within the red rectangle (probably, he may wander off somewhere else in the town and you'll have to find him) will give you two scrolls of Identify and teach you Literacy if you can't read.

After that, you should be done in the town. Clear the keep but don't use the stairs; the upstairs leads to drakelings that will kill you quickly.

You have a boat, float around; I don't know where to go after this.

casting spells without setting up macros is a pain because it's a lot of keystrokes

e.g. if you want to cast the "Immunity" spell you need to press m -> select book -> select spell -> select element

I've already died, but in retrospec, how should I actually play as DD of Pakellas? I've cleared lair, spider, shoals and mines no problem, but in elf I just kept running out of mana to power my healstick (and no, I was not using my max MP), and was pretty much unable to get enough kills enough to power up it more, and I had 40 AC and maxed out MR bar, solid elem res too. How should I have handled the shituation? Should I have gone vault because it has a bunch of low hp mooks and less chances of encountering animated antimagic weapons?

when the game says "really step into the open air?" after you've gone up one level you don't just fall down one Z level
you die

Well, I'd brought up the point that sex ratios in crawl's universe may not be balanced the same way that they are in ours (since all the other arguments from reality were rejected because lel crawl has magic), so someone replied to me pointing out the work of a biologist showing that in most if not all observed animals ratios tend to drift towards 1:1 over time, even after a starting imbalance. My reply was going to be that if the existence of magic somehow makes it so the observed effects of testosterone no longer really matter, why should any other biological truths from our world?

Stupid shit, really.

Alright. I fixed up the rewards.html page for 4.0.2 and put everything in tables.

http://nikheizen.github.io/pages/rewards.html

I'm not sure of the aesthetics at all- it certainly doesn't look as nice as the spellbooks spoiler- but it is complete-unlike the spellbooks spoiler- and it works.

All the monster names link to the monster's spoiler, for both the arena rewards and dungeon tables. I won't be doing the same for artifacts or items though.

If anything doesn't link properly, do let me know somehow. Hope this is useful to someone.

Looks really good in my opinion.
However for new players reading those, which really should replace the pasta since that black background is great, you could add those short notes of whether the quests have awful summoners or not like in the pasta to be similar descriptions as in the spellbook case when you scroll over the quest name.
Just a drunken suggestion though, but some of those quests are fucked up unless your character is really fucking powerful and I think it's reasonable to tell new players to avoid them if they don't fully understand the concept of end-game summoning capabilities yet.

Depends on what you want. If you want something completely different, Cataclysm will scratch your crafting and comfy needs. Elona+ will take those needs to places you didn't know existed. Tome4 will take you on the opposite side of the spectrum, where all you do is kill and loot. The tiles are butt ugly though. IA is similar, but more spooky and with lots more running away. You could try Dredmor for a mixture of both, but try it with an open mind. its better than people give it credit, but stlil has major flaws. MSE is for purging as well.

I have won twice and dispel magic was never more than a slight annoyance.
It would be better if certain buffs had some sort of resistance to it (so Giant's Strength resists 90% of the time, speed resists 5%, and everything in between) Would be a nice buff to buff classes.

Still, it's not a big deal and most classes don't pile on 30 buffs for J. Usually it's just 1-3 which are easily replaced.

Sounds rough though. What were you playing as? You probably could have flip flopped a bit rather than getting snek'd on. Either way, I think snake is probably worse since there is a lot more tech stuff you can do in shoals.
>>
>>145105542
>not calling in aniki when your senpai and his friends are beating you up
Poor tactics.
>>
>>145105984
yeah
the thing about oberon is that he teleports away at low health and engages only when he's got some of his health back and he keeps doing that every time he gets low
and if you try to follow him because you have the teleportitis mutation or a trump item, there's always a chance you'll fail
so you gotta detect
then teleport
then detect
then teleport
then when you find him you gotta walk to him
and then he teleports again
and you repeat
>>
>>145105984
>and I can only imagine what oberon summons.

Oberon is a pushover really.

Yeah, I just abhor the fact that the 4th book of Nature is mostly wasted on Monks since one turn of them hitting shit does more damage than any spell in that book and since monks have shit mana and no way to really fill it they can't spam.
Although I guess Gravity Storm might be funny when you're surrounded by summons assuming it displaces the enemies.

Oh boy isn't Xom fun

I already got killed by two early banishments, 3 hordes of hostile summons, and indirectly by being gimped with deterioration 2 and blurry vision. On the last one, I was doing pretty good only to get malmutated twice (Xom never gave me a single good mut), and then on D:10 he confused me on a particularly bad situation and that was that (inb4 quaff cure, yeah those were gone because I didn't find rPois between some poison branded weapons and a pair of spiny frogs that Xom polymorphed from something else). I'm rather flustered. I thought this would be some kind of roulette where you get rewarded and shit on at random, but I don't think I saw much on the good side, besides useless low-tier friendly demons that never killed anything I couldn't have myself.

If she won't move it's probably statue AI so you should reset the level.

That's because /v/ is filled with retards and children, even moreso now that summer's started.

Roguelikes' lack of graphics (and very minimal character/worldbuilding) are directly beneficial to it as an RPG because it makes the player use their imagination. The exact same principle is applied by DF and tabletop games.

Here's the thing though; I think I might go try Cthulhu next for Razorback so I can then kill Tiamat and Cthulhu qualifies both as a demon and evil so both of those weapons are going to get slaying off. I don't know how hard Cthulhu is though and I'd rather not get killed this far in so I might actually just go try Tiamat because I resist all of her breaths but then again I'm not sure which one is easier. I also get wand of rockets from Tiamat that I think I can spam on Cthulhu or something.

I like doing 15 runes with fighters. It's comfortable and easy. Go TSO and go crazy, like 70% of the runes are demonic. Just remember that some games can't 15 rune without a miracle due to lack of resistances or whatever.

Pan is easier than Hell very often, but I can see why someone would go Hell first, Pan can get very unpredictable sometimes. On Hell you can abort mission without even having to go back all the way up, because every staircase goes back to the vestibule. The random effects are very bad but they can mitigated. Pan can throw you a dozen of pushover lords when you are trying to find the demonic rune, until it generates some ungodly shit that knows haste, shatter and spams greater demons up your ass, like it happened to me on my first 15 runer.

True, but Hell's mysterious force forces you to constantly push forward. In Pan you can take your time and slowly clear it out. Depends on what kind of character you have I guess. They're both tough and should probably be done after everything else aside from Tomb.

How does it work when a tinker doesn't have a tier selection? I noticed that the example item increases in tier as I level up. So is the tier automatically based on my level, and if I craft an item it will be the same tier as the example item?

Also I noticed that some items already have tier 3 available and most are still tier 2, so I guess tier upgrades vary per item somehow.

I wish I knew when the healing salve gets to tier 3. Level 30 probably.

I admit, it is nice that a lot of my points go into skills now. Starting with the ability to slash out the bad bionics in a failed bionic profession is neat.

Define "play the game". Because even though you have the skills, you still have to grind to find/make components and build whatever items you wanted with those skills

>>
>>145129962
I think he would have followed you, but if you had taken a step away he wouldn't have hit you
>>
>>145129962
You could have gone back up without getting followed. Even if it did follow you, there are a few ways to lose an adjacent melee monster after some running around.
>>
>>145130110
>You could have gone back up without getting followed
False, they would still follow him.
How stairs work is that entering a floor causes you to "wait" at that position for .66 turns if you have not been there before, and 1.33 turns if you have. You never get a "free turn," you just get first move the first time down.
>>
>>145128160
But you can increase it. You can adjust the settings in the options, under world defaults I think? I forget where it's at exactly, but you can definitely manually assign how many of each type of points you want for stats/traits/skills, as well as how many total positive and negate trait points you can have.

>>145129862
Wait, did they finally fix being able to pull out shitty bionics/bionics you don't want anymore? I've never attempted it myself but I saw plenty of posts talking about how terrible/impossible it was.

Also yeah I agree that it's nice when you decide to put some points into skills instead of dumping it all into stats and going "oh I can just read books to get all my skills". It's terrible having everything at level 1 and being forced to grind out some basic skills from day 1. That's why I love using the multi-pools option because it forces me to pick some starting skills.

I recently started a "home mechanic" guy, dumped 3 points into mechanics which raised my starting mechanics to 6, and grabbed 2 points of fabrication. Makes for an interesting beginning when you allow yourself to start really good at something but not great at everything else, and have to work around what your skills allow you to do instead of forcing yourself to read for a couple days before you decide you finally have to move out of the shelter or wherever you spawned.

Why? I haven't really done much messing with molotovs, but I hardly see the need in nerfing them like that. Is there even another decent use for alcohol other than if you have that ethanol fuel supply bionic? I always find a shitton of alcohol and never use any of it.

https://sourceforge.net/p/crawl-ref/activity/?page=0&limit=100#541778d45fcbc93f75a325ce

I don't know why the Windows links aren't on develz, presumably they want you to play only the NWO versions

4 hours a day for 4 years? And you're somehow MAD about Abyss being less of a shit hole? Somehow I don't believe you.
>>
>>145159941
i liked the abyss, it's a scary as fuck place and it's even scarier when you don't have resist mutation.
nothing is more satisfying than escaping without a game breaking mutation with a super early character. I absolutely love RNG.
managed to escape twice with under level 8 characters before. that's not even an achievement anymore now that anybody can get out in three minutes.
>>145159682
>>145159782
i legitimately gave unreal world a chance and i'd like to get obsessed with that instead for its super deep combat system but i ran into a horrible bug one run where an entire 5 mile area just disappeared and this bug isn't even reported in the wikia. no chance.
>>145159805
but which old version is best in your opinion? don't know which to use.
i'd prefer one that has felids playable for autistic reasons. but i am willing to compromise on that

>>145160157
You remind me of that picture of an otter eating watermelon, except that it fucking hates watermelon.
>>
>>145160329
how? the otter didn't stop eating the watermelon.
i did stop. i uninstalled v0.19 after the second time i escaped the abyss in under three minutes. sucks big time too cause i really enjoy the new hep indian god or whatever. that's the first time in a while i aligned with someone other than okawaru. too bad.
>>
>>145160428
I mean, you're still going to play though. You really like Okawaru?
>>
>>145160574
i'm gonna play versions that didn't ruin the abyss, yes. unless i can find something else that can sate my autism.
i liked okawaru because i feel that constant gifts are a greater reward than the powers other gods provide, and he requires zero EXP investment to utilize to his maximum.
oh, a god that replaces my infinite stash of identify items and saves me the 50 seconds it takes to fully map out a level! big deal.
i do get pretty pissed that okawaru and trog become absolutely completely useless by the time you're done with lair and D:15 though. maybe the loser devs should spend some time trying to make them not worthless mid-late game rather than making new sprites for characters that already have fine ones and deciding which unrands to throw away next
>>
>>145160885
You think ashen is bad? Have you ever won?
>>
>>145160984
i've won six or seven times and got all runes only once.
i usually get rid of okawaru and switch to the shining one before entering any of hell's branches. everyone but TSO seems useless to me for a melee character. well even TSO seemed pretty useless end game, i used his powers maybe two times total end game.

oh, a god i did like a lot was that card jester guy, i think i worshiped him for my first win actually. a gargoyle fighter worshiping card jester, heh. really stupid noob character but he worked for me somehow. i never used him since because of autistic roleplaying reasons, he's too silly for the fantasizing i do.

Seriously what the fuck is going on? What retarded shit is preventing me from sleeping? I don't want to waste day hours sleeping but it's almost 4 in the am and every time I fail to sleep it burns like half an hour more. Surely this is something that needs to be fixed?
>>
>>145161448
Your sleep schedule should normalize soon, but cata's sleep system is kind of dumb. Its more of a 2 days on, 1 day off kind of thing rather than a normal sleep schedule. Take accomplished sleeper, it'll really help out if your main source of healing is sleep.
>>
>>145161360
it should be mentioned i never post or lurk here ever since gamergate so i may not know the appropriate lingo or general accepted playstyles of any users here. nor do i ever watch any streams on the crawl website because my computer is too shit.
in other words how i play DC:SS is completely independent and without external influence.
i am in this thread now for no reason but to be spoonfed on what old versions of DC:SS to use.

i don't know why you seem to believe ashen is so great end game, is it just because of his assistance with the randomized maps?
why do i need his help when i can walk through any enemy as a high level heavy armor wearing melee character
that's the real problem for me, why do i need any god's help when i can walk through anybody.
if it weren't for the fact okawaru and trog randomly stop gifting shit after lair and D:15, i'd just never stop using them. gods are redundant as a high level melee fighter
>>
>>145161630
Ashenzari passively boosts all your skills by 5 or so. Very useful, the mapping is just gravy. TSO is actually super great too, what with the holy hand grenades and angel bros. Are you only playing gargoyles and minotaurs or something? You're missing most of the game by just blindly tabbing and only worshipping trog/oka. The game does a pretty great job of punishing the shit out of melee only dudes after a 3 rune game too. Just play .18 or .17, or find the trunk build right before the abyss change. It would still have Hep in it, so you'd get to play with him.

Ok, I'm pretty spooked. That robot spews sedative gas, and I have no idea what the light does. Has anyone fought one of these? I'm probably going to dip out.
>>
>>145161948
no i stopped playing gargoyles and minotaurs because like i said i started getting really oddly autistic about my roleplaying, gargoyles are too high fantasy for my tastes. yes i realize this does not make sense given the setting of the game. and minotaurs are just plain boring, they are very overpowered, more so than gargoyles.
my most recent win was a kobold hunter worshiping hep. he mained crossbows and polearms, and had about 20 AC and 30 dodge.
he was my most fun character in months.
>>145161985
over half those 5500 hours were experimenting with nonsensical classes, for some reason using things with high skill aptitudes began bothering me a lot. i'd do stuff like spriggans maining staves despite the -3, or i'd try to make a melee character who only uses the pain brand weapons and has 27 necromancy skill with zero known spells. naturally you're gonna lose with a guy like that but it felt good to me anyway.
>>
>>145162259
You should try out MuWz^Sif or something. Maximum fun with no apts.
>>
>>145162116
>I have no idea what the light does.
What light?

>Has anyone fought one of these?
Yes, and while they weren't a big deal usually, since you're only using a wooden spear I'm gonna assume you're under-equipped to face him so I'd say go ahead and dip out.

You're probably gonna want a filter mask or firefighter pba mask before you decide to fight one, in melee at least, due to the different gases they spew. If you get an okay archery skill, that works pretty well, I've taken them out no problem with a reflex recurve bow and some plastic arrows. I imagine a gun with decent AP ammo would also work pretty good.

They shoot some kind of dazzling light. You can see it in the screenshot, the glyph for it is #. I was going to try to shoot it to death while it killed the zombies, but another one showed up so I packed up. Will a filter mask completely protect me from the gas?

Is /pol/ actually into cuckoldry?
I thought they were supposed to be right-wing over there, which I doubt cuckoldry really fits into.
Or are they the conservative stereotype who shout about gays the loudest but deep down they want nothing more than a fat cock in their mouths?
>>
>>145163152
I usually have a pba mask when I come across them so I'm not 100% sure that a filter mask will do the same thing, but I'm fairly confident that it should work or at the very least help reduce the effects. The light they're shooting might be a flashbang? It says you're deaf, so maybe that's what it is? I haven't had to deal with one in a long time since they're summoned by the eyebots and I can usually take those out from far enough away that they don't get my picture.
>>
>>145163558
I was wearing noise deafeners so I wouldn't get pain from shooting stuff. Definitely not flashbang. It reminds me of the eyeball rays from flaming eyes, but without the fire and death. It didn't seem to do anything to the zombies.
>>
>>145163689
Hmm, I'm not sure what it is. Might be just a temporary blindness causing attack then. Seems appropriate for riot control. Well, again, a pba mask will take care of that no problem due to having level 2 glare protection, so if you can find one from a firefighter zombie or a firehouse then it should make fighting those bots super easy.

The good thing is that they cant kill you, at worst they capture you and you get stuck with some electronic handcuffs that will break after some time. I just avoid them when they pop up.

Oh that is pretty cool. I was pretty worried about them since I was pretty weak from fighting zombies. I can probably even be super lazy and kite dudes into them.

Any advice how to proceed with this build now? I've got to D:8 with some decent gear, any suggestions on training/how to proceed? I found Lair but not Mines, is it worth going Lair next after D:8?

Increase that fighting at least to level 10, also start on working on your armor since 7 AC in lair as a meeleedude is a pain.
>>
>>145169774
Sounds good, thanks
Better to do Mines or Lair first?
>>
>>145170345
Most likely lair, especially since you have rpois, but the upper floors of orc are also possible, if you back off as soon as you see some red names like orc warlords or stone giants.

I still don't get how dodging works in this game.

Let's say I'm playing a felid and, by skilling and loot, I reach 31 EV before lair.

Now, a komodo dragon jas a HD of 8, so he gets a +12 to his base hit chance, which is 18, and so his max hit roll is 30. Do I just become immune to komodo draggens if I have 31 or more EV?

Christ what gets me about the creators dropping the project is that the latest version broke Win XP support for some reason.
>>
>>145172664
It doesn't use a d20 roll.
The tldr version is:
>2.5% chance to hit no matter what
>2.5% chance to miss no matter what
>attacker rolls a random number between 0 and their to-hit
>defender averages two rolls between 0 and 2*EV
>if the attacker's roll is equal or better, it hits
