What's some cool shit you guys would like to see played.

There should be a god who helps you out majorly if you're under high tension but otherwise does nothing (or even does detrimental things) if you're not. It would encourage getting into dangerous situations but still being able to manage them.

Okay, okay, how about the opposite? A god that gives great bonuses but takes them away the more tension you're put under, to the point where they have a negative effect at high tension? Some sort of perfectionist god. It'd encourage careful play.

Tummy isn't a pedo thing, it's a common term. Your problem is that whenever you hear it you think of a young girl's flat and nubile body for some reason, so you accuse the person saying it of being a pedo for putting those thoughts in your head. It says more about you than us honestly.
>>
>>150667668
You had it all and threw it away. Next time don't SfT if you're in a bad situation, the point if the ability is to use it BEFORE you're put into a bad situation. If things seem to be going bad, don't be afraid to smash that motherfucking Step From Time button.

That's definitely more questionable.

>>150668508
It essentially causes you to leave the game for a number of turns. while you're gone enemies will wander around like usual, so if you use it while you're surrounded you'll often return to no enemies. You don't gain any HP or anything while gone though, you return just how you left.

It scales with invocation too, more invocation means more turns gone.

MiBe/TrBe, press aa when anything with a yellow or red name appears (after getting close of course), press ab to recover at low hp (it's more effective outside of berserk, but for big reds you might need both ab and then aa)

Step is for well before the shit hits the fan and it's increasingly worse with less effective stealth. Not that you should get stealth for a "better" step (It wont be) just know that if you're loud and have zero chance of not being seen by anything on screen and you step you're probably gonna get spotted if they didn't fuck off.. Did you really expect them to be gone in such a wide open area in just one step?

Fedhas-Mushrooms kill anything and everything

Yred- animate literally everything to drown them in zombies, later kill hard targets with your bone dragon and profane servitors. Drain Life is fun if you have good invocations and are facing some shit like Vaults 5.

Kiku- like Yred but you train Necro instead of Invocations and can get a sick pain weapon

Is it just elemental evokers + bob/sack + rod?

Two sticks of dynamite failed to take out a single wall and now I'm out of soap to make more.

I think my only option is to take all the adderall and try to install the toolset bionic, then use that to create an electric jackhammer. I don't think there's any other way to get a tool with hammer quality 3, but then again I ended up grinding cooking 4 ->5 with a three hour recipe turning charcoal to lye because i didn't think you could get something with boiling 2 (a glass jar or flask has boiling 1).

An empty soda can has boiling 2.
>>
>>150676586
Yred only needs like 5 if all you care about is zombies. If you want to do Drain Life/Enslave Soul shenanigans 10-15 is functional. Injury Mirror is good for 1v1 fights against baddies that you want to spend Piety to kill instead of consumables.

In my experience fedhas mushrooms work about as good at 0 invo as they do at 15, but apparently they scale or something, i dunno.

I guess? With decks gone it should be a little better but still, bob/sacks apparently are at a flat 1/4 rate to be consumed and most of the situations where you'd need then you'd get btfo anyway so they last 3 turns or you die taking hits or you'd have just left anyway. Disc of storms requires a randart. Thanks Chris and even then it's in that dead zone of if you need it you shouldn't and if you don't you wont. Mirrors, if you can get them, are only worth wasting in a couple fights that you don't even need them for anyway. The elementals got reworked yet again, the stone got removed, and it's another kick in the balls.

This minus decks , plus rods, plus changes since I guess.


It does the following:
* only gifts the 4 kinds of decks not gifted by nemelex.
* reduces the weights for decks overall.
* for elemental evokables not seen before, gift them with higher
weight compared to the other evokable types.
* for evokables other than the disc of storms and lantern of
shadows, allow gifting at a lower weight even if they have been
seen before.
* gifts crystal ball of energy with chance (evocations *
max(spellcasting, invocations)) out of 27^2.

For what though? Just an aethetically pleasing thing? I guess. Those faggots were too incredibly butthurt about vehicles so you get retarded vehicle damage spread over your rig when you hit stuff. You'll be constantly hitting everything having to ram vehicles into houses and reramming vehicles into each other/trees until t hey're smashed entirely because you're the size of a road. It's missing spiked plating on all the externals and especially the rear which will be hitting shit. If it's just for hurr hurr APC pride then you have to make sure you never get a breach and nobody opens anything cause otherwise you'll get explosives launched at you which don't care about dick. Ditto with gunfire. Plus NPC's are too retarded for it to be any good.

That's exactly what I did as soon as I saw 2 hell sentinels and a smoke demon on my LOS. My hp got chipped by a Panlord, not from that thicc hell sentinel. I actually came from several tiles away from where I were since I spent a lot of turns hanging at 23 Invo. Expected that they'd at least me dig through the wall I was facing so I could regenerate while digging a killhole but my luck ran out at the right time.

Should have used temporal distortion instead so I could at least have the chance of melee'ing the fuck out of them and if I failed, I could use it again.

if you take psychopath you can even eat the broken cyborgs and the mutagenic fetuses so you can go even longer without starving

I think dying directly by starvation is super rare in DDA but there's a decent chance of dying if you run into the middle of a city looking for food because you're ABOUT to starve

So, any real advice?

Also, I was reading up on noise levels and I don't understand why some of them are the way they are. Wouldn't spider's nest be quieter than the normal dungeon? And why would the Hall of Blades, if i'm picturing it correctly, not be louder than dungeon?

ambient noise is SUBTRACTED from the noise you make

the hall of blades has -7 ambient noise which means it's really fucking quiet, which in turn means that noises you make will stand out more
>>
>>150694874
>which in turn means that noises you make will stand out more
Exactly, why wouldn't a bunch of weapons clinking around not be noisy? The stairs are chipped and worn away so they gotta be running into walls and shit at some points so why is it nearly as quiet as tomb?
>>
>>150694438
Granade and the rest of the salt committee changed it so costs are influenced by how much it actually repairs.

>>150694671
Heaviest weapon you can hit with reliably so probably the glaive and soon the bardiche if you got the occasional fighting.
>>
>>150695071
Because they don't fart, complain about elves, eat cereal really loud with their mouths open, dig holes, murder and consume small animals, or hold poetry recitals. Or spar, if that's what you're thinking.
>>
>>150695071
Probably because they aren't clinking around and batting into eachother and walls all the time.
>>
>>150694671
the weapon you should be using is almost entirely based on your current polearms skill. just pick the best of halberd/glaive/bardiche which you have under 1.0 delay on, and drop everything else

as soon as you have enough skill to start using the bardiche you should blow your ?ench and ?brand on it of course, but you probably knew that

you should also drop those extra armors because none of them give resists you don't already have and they're just taking up space in your inventory

also, do you really have no better rings? sinv is useful but mostly just as a swap to put on when you run into something invis. it does nothing 99% of the time

Go ahead and write one then. You immediately have to drop its enchantment level so it's not OP bullshit, immediately making it inferior to a +9 chopping.

Because bucklers require way too little investment it's like cheating. It's basically free stats even if you don't put a single dot of exp on it. The encumbrance is always ignorable for bucklers.
>>
>>150716635
But why shields are allowed if everything else is forbidden?
>>
>>150716261
removal or rMut did literally nothing but make the later part of the game more tedious.
aka adding artificial tediousness
inb4 "but the optimal play was to shoot the malmutators from edge of los anyways"
>>
>>150716920

>everything else

Which?
>>
>>150717190

If you're a playertabber who has unironically invested nothing for killing malmutators in range then you have also no right to complain that your only way of dealing with them is inefficient.
>>
>>150704589
Don't forget Brogue. Cut it with some Elona+ inferno mode, forrays into norrendin, infra arcana and dynahack.

Qud was and it's still shit

>>150713746
I think it was that it didn't really matter because you can get more limbs from Gavella in south tyris like 50 hours in and you could hero cheese the life back or something.
>>
>>150717545
the point was that removing rMut did absolutely nothing for the most part, only adding more annoying things you absolutely have to look out for, to the part of the game that is already filled with those things
>>
>>150721890

The removal of rMut is to directly penalize playertabbers who only knows how to melee and further emphasize the benefits of ranged attacks/conjurations.

It didn't do absolutely nothing, it's the complete opposite actually.
>>
>>150722894
>It didn't do absolutely nothing, it's the complete opposite actually.
only thing it did was _encourage_ otab melee characters to train throwing from 0 to x instead of that 25th level of armour, and ONLY IF they chose to do Pan/Hell
so yeah
its literally absolutely nothing.
>>
>>150723868
This. Oh wow they spend like 10 skill levels of xp (fucking nothing) on something that was formerly irrelevant to make it irrelevant.
>>
>>150723868
and this came at the cost of increasing the tedious shit that Pan/Hell already are, for every single character out there, because they now have to deal with the mutator right when they step in los, just to force that 1% of characters skill a bit more optimally

>>
>>150779542
you should explore in such a way that you have a clear shot to the staircase without running through unexplored terrain

priests are scary if you fight them with their pack, which is why it's especially important against orcs/gnolls to aggro one at a time with thrown rocks instead of walking towards them

ghosts are hard countered by staircases, because they can't leave the floor
>>
>>150778440
Play a strong combo and learn the average depths something should be at. Then just walk away from early adders,ogres, polearm gnolls, phantoms, wraiths and shit. You don't have to kill everything and everything in the first half of the game gives fuckall experience. Pay attention to the AC monsters have and if your base damage, especially for UC, is close after adding any equipped armor AC then you know you're cruising for a bruising. When you play a harder combo just be more conservative on your judgement to run. If it's ranged/smiters learn to break LoS and use LoS to assfuck them. Crawl is comparing effective strength: The Game.

Draconian or demonspawn Gladiators are pretty diesel melee. Pretty much any of the caster backgrounds are tab-tier outside of immunes you just walk away from and go down elsewhere.

>>150779542
Walk away and use los to get them to close the gap, walk away and go down elsewhere until you're strongerx2. If you have to panic crutch to live then you shouldn't have gotten in that situation in the first place.

Combat with of LoS use, stair dancing, and "literally walk away".
>LoS use
Position yourself such that the priest practically (or literally, if possible) has to walk into melee to see you, so it has less opportunity to smite you.
>stair dancing
Break up the pack via stair dancing. A priest isn't quite as scary once you kill his meatshields.
>"literally walk away"
If you have less than 30 HP, don't fight Priests until you do.
>ghosts
Most of the time, you can walk to the nearest set of stairs, climb them, and come down another set of stairs. If you can't, teleport away. If you can't do that, RIP.
>gnoll packs
Walk away and/or stair dance.

Tips for stair dancing:

Explore the level completely before descending, so you are certain of a safe place to retreat to in the event that you need to stair dance.

If the stair you're dancing on has too many enemies around it and you're worried about drawing up more than you can handle, descend a different stair and draw a few to that one.

Don't stair dance things that hit very hard, because they get a couple of free hits when you're ascending.

It's not so bad. You should have a couple consumables left to let you cheese fights. Even though you didn't keep your allies alive you'll likely get 1 or 2 soon that'll let you cheese a fight. If you've even remotely been picking and saving to get through a couple horrors, furies, kraken, liches, and a dragon you'll be fine. The hardest part is the hunger clock if your build advances slowly through the floor. RIP conj staff

I don't know where else to post this. Anyone here played Don't Starve? I know a game isn't supposed to be tagged roguelike just because it features permadeath, but still...

Yeah tell that to the 5 or so warriors who were going to kick my ass along with the warrior (who was on the very top of the map when I teleported)

But they aren't? If you skilled decently, picked good spells if applicable, and enchanted your gear you do pretty good 1v1.

It's good if you don't have other sources of MR in this brave stasis-less world and/or cast spells.

Well back in the day when carry weight was a thing you could get herbivore and fast metabolism on a caster and if you were a numbskull about it nausea and harder fights could wear you down. you'd get the occasional starve in labyrinth/pan/hell from a combo of not taking enough and diet/metab mutations and regen. Fatfingering while stashing and not noticing cause you're a dummy. Some people just being dumb about hungry ghosts and death cobs while they hungered. Rampant berserking on races with fast metab or diet mutations.

Went with Halfling. Magic Dart has killed literally everything so far: 3-shot a giant scorpion, 2-shot Menkaure, and the damage ranges from ~4 to ~15. MP/HP is ridiculously huge: for a Halfling it's 74 HP at level 6, while I started with 29 at level 1. MP, meanwhile, doesn't seem to increase, even by training spellcasting. It started at 125, but all spells have their costs multiplied by 5, so it balances out I think, especially if it doesn't increase.

Hunger seems to have been removed; at least, I can't chop corpses, there's no permafood, I haven't eaten since D:1 (currently on D:5) while spamming a spell with ## hungercost, and I'm still not hungry.

Finally, there are these weird new categories of magic, and I'm not sure what they do. I haven't seen any magic that uses only a new category, but they seem like normal magic paths otherwise.

Further observations: potions of heal wounds are way more powerful. I think, but am not certain, that they take you to full HP.

The "branches" are no so any longer. Dungeon ends at 7, and Lair picks up where it stops. Presumably the temple is no longer, and Orc begins after Lair, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Also, the normal inventory has been done away with, and it is now infinite. It's possible that consumables spawn more frequently, but it might only appear to be so. I will only note that I have never had such a bounty of potions (or scrolls) by D:8 in any of the dozens of games I've played.

Make macros, cut a digging stick, forage, make seeds, hunt, make stomachs, scout around for a place with saltwater. Drop your carpet of sealed stomachs, foraged plastic containers, and leather funnels. Make your log and sod Motte and Bailey home. Craft chain up an anvil, tools, craft, make a hoe. Till, plant, tan, sew leather clothing. Slap down a rock kiln and make charcoal in your down time. If you don't think duct tape is too un-churl-y you can take some bike pedals and a cargo carrier in a little log cart to save yourself from killing yourself moving logs. Alternatively, setup macros to move all in a straight line. Preserve food. Get a pickaxe and tools to dig out a root cellar & Armory to store your dried shit in. You'll be far enough away from civilization that you'll deplete the regions spawn counter while it's still brutes and the occasional master so you aren't swamped with hulks, shocker brutes, corrosives, and master swarms upgrading everything every other day. Once your perimeter is up work on smithing nails and renforcing your defensive lines with spike pits, patches of 2x4's and other burnables, and nail boards. Once you have everything you would miss either in wood frame+wood box "cabinets" or actual cupboards you can plop down a meeting board to slowly attract your own army. Outfit em with leather and your primitive man weaponry. Enjoy living forever.

Protip, get help to speed up the wall constructions. It takes roughly 3 entire years to log and wall up 3 map tiles with log and sod by yourself. Just forget about double walls outside of your smallest.

Either XP requirements for leveling went way down, or XP per monster went way up. I am on Lair 5 (floor 12) and I'm at XL 15.

Another discovery: success rate is now based off of Spellcasting alone. Conjuration, Hexes and the like only determine spellpower, at best. Spellcasting also has a significant delay (2.0 at Spellcasting 0, 1.8 at Spellcasting 4, and so on).

Also, whenever you conclusively end a battle by killing all enemies in your LoS, you instantly regain all HP, MP, and lose all poisoning. I watched the aut counter: this isn't autorest, you literally regain all HP/MP the same turn you kill the last enemy in your LoS.

Final note before I go to bed: I think the Conjurer's starting book will take them through literally the whole game. Magic Dart has killed hydras in <5 casts, Fulminant Prism is AoE which is all you need when you can do as much damage as you're willing to invest XP into, and I've not had cause to use the Battlesphere or Mystic Blast, but they will presumably be even more destructive. I've literally just been hitting o and ] ("]" being what I've bound my macro of "cast magic dart at last target" to).

No. Tried moving up, then down both in standard and quick mode, and it cost .9 auts a move the whole way through.

Okay I lied I decided to finish Lair before I went to bed
I feel this deserved special mention as it shows how fun master blasters can be. I think that's around the same level of damage Iron Shot puts out, except magic dart never misses and I don't think AC decreases its damage

also spellcasting doesn't increase your MP it just decreases your spellcost: the 5 MP spell becomes 3 MP at Spellcasting 10 for example.

I for one would love to see you post about either GearHead (one, not two) or Valhalla/Ragnarok.

Personally, I've posted about both, but I ended GearHead because it doesn't have permadeath (though its punishment for "death" is so bad that it's usually worth starting over). I ended Valhalla because I got really far one time and died because I wasn't spoiled.

as your skill levels get higher the boost goes down in terms of # of levels boosted, i thought. meaning it's not like Heroism which applies a flat +5 boost to non-magic stats

No, the boost increases with your base skill level.

There are like 4 modes now.
Standard, where all species move at 11 auts (except nagas who move at 14 auts) and do normal damage.
Power, which is Standard except you do 1.3x your normal damage, and have 1.3x your normal spellpower. It also drains your stamina.
Focus, which is Standard except you have higher to-hit, stealth, and spell success rates. It also drains your stamina.
Quick, which lets you move at 9 auts (except for centaurs and spriggans, who move at quickly as they normally do) at the cost of doing .7x the damage you normally do and draining stamina.

Stamina is also drained with every melee blow. The amount depends on Fighting.

Also something I just discovered: most smaller (maces, whips, falchions, shortblades) weapons can reach 3 auts an attack, most medium (clubs, flails, dire flails, longswords, great maces) weapons can reach 4 auts an attack, and most larger (giant spiked clubs, presumably triple swords) weapons can reach 5 auts an attack. The only exceptions are axes, which take +1 aut per attack as compared to other weapons of similar size. I wonder how fast quickblades are.

The dungeon keeper gamemode gets a lot more love than the roguelike mode so I don't really consider it a roguelike. Dungeon Keepering is potentially decent, but when I played it was somewhat unfinished and lacked documentation to some extent.

Roguelike mode is/was frustrating because you're extremely fragile and you have limited ways of correcting that.

Slaying is a flat increase to damage and accuracy. +1 slaying is +1 damage, +5 slaying is +5 damage, and so on. Weapon enchantments are not the same, and typically are less than one damage per +1, so it's very good.

>>
>>150862386
Its really really good, because it adds damage on top of your damage, but it doesnt apply every time or either it doesnt make the max damage, so if you have +5 slaying, it wont do +5 damage everytime it will do +3 sometimes or something. Its one of thoose two, i always forget which one it is

hah, wrong
>>
>>150862593
Rolls 0-slaying.
>>

you add 1d(slaying) to your damage, so +5 slaying is an average of +2.5 to damage done

also, multiplicative brands are calculated after slaying is added so slaying is worth more on weapons of e.g. vorpal/flame/freeze/holy than on weapons of elec

It consumes a point of max mana permanently and the only way you can get more is by raising int (which i'm not going to do) or training invo/spellcasting.

And isn't rPois secretly a 3 tick like rFire and rCold but just isn't shown?

http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Poison_resistance#Poison_Resistance
>In 0.10, poison resistance was changed to have multiple levels, although this is not reflected on the player's resistances overview. Any level of resistance confers immunity to Poisonous and Mephitic Cloud, and gives players a 2 in 3 chance of shrugging off poison at the time that it is applied. Three levels of poison resistance makes one impervious to the "poisoned" condition, although poison damage is only partly reduced (see below) and many poison attacks have a physical component as well.
I'm not seeing if it was ever changed so that's where the source of the confusion comes from. I should probably just rely on the knowledge bots as opposed to the wiki.

I undervalued the threat he posed. If it was Asterion instead of Mara I would have TP'd instantly but I didn't think illusion was going to be that dangerous. Welp, more experience for next runs.

Well no, it's still possible to have a decimal average. For example a 1d8 damage magic dart averages 4.5. It's not possible to hit for exactly 4.5 damage. But that doesn't matter. It's just an average.

>Is there a time mage class now?
No. There are lava orcs, sludge elves, djinn, moon trolls (which are trolls that are decent at magic) tho
There are three new spellschools at least. Time, Light, and Darkness. These have no spells of their own, they're just applied seemingly at random to older spells. Some older spells are also given new crosspaths for no reason. Confusion is Hexes/Darkness, Searing Light is Conjuration/Light, Fulm-something prism is Conjuration/Light/Time, Iskenderun's Mystic Blast is Conjurations/Ice, so on.

Do you guys usually play the same type of race/background after death, or do you play the same one? Once I die on a transmuter or enchanter or something, I always feel burned out and have to keep changing to try something else. I find melee and also ranged weapons to be boring as fuck.

Recite is essentially a hex everything with a brain in LoS based on your +3 invocations apt. It can instantly kill chaotic and evil shit, paralyze or confuse most intelligents, and will stun undeads while assblasting them. He has a buff that gives you like +8 stats, rpois andp robably other shit. So it's essentially a ghetto pot of agi, might, and rpois for cheap. Has an imprison ability that lets you break shit up long enough to fuck off or obliterate the unique's entourage. Sanctuary is a panic button that stops most shit from attacking you while you heal yourself up or teleport out. Gives you am inor resiostance to mutation based on piety if it's still in the game. Once a game you can cure up all your mutations.
