>>151089302
Approach houses from behind, through a field. Avoid the roads.
Go looting at night when zombies can't detect you from a block away.
Lure zombies into windowsills and over bushes. Movement over difficult terrain takes much longer, so you can get a bunch of free hits in.
Set shit on fire. You can light a bush on fire, lure a zombie on top of it, and fight it while it burns to death. Alternatively, you can burn houses down on top of major threats and groups of enemies.
(G)rab a shopping cart. Not only can it carry much more than you, but it counts as difficult terrain. Bring it with you everywhere, and position it so attackers will climb over it to reach you.
Losing is fun.

Damn, son. Cleared almost every branch except for slime, the hells, pan, abyss and Zot and still no Shatter on any book. I need it to clear V:5. Itonically, it might be there.

Anyway, I've found my first adq scroll in Depths:5, and I was wondering: if I have Earth Magic to 27, and I ask for a book, does the book has a decent chance to contain Shatter? Even Iron Shot would make me happy, really.

But apparently not enough to maintain it yourself. Funny how that works.

The book serves as a focus through which you channel your magical essence, and in destroying that focus, you are able to destroy some of its connections to you.

Your logic is retarded my nigga. Many people don't have the drive, ambition, or expertise to be able to properly develop a videogame. Not to mention that bug fixing and optimizing someone else's shit code is like shoving a knife up your own urethra. Maybe he just wants someone more capable to maintain it, knowing he wouldn't be able to do it himself.
>>
>>151100972
So acquiring a book will get me a manual if i'm MiBe?
>>
>>151102549
Yeah. If I'm following the logic of acquire.cc correctly, you will get a manual 100% of the time if you a. have 0 magic skills, or b. worship trog.
>>
>>151103103
Another fun fact: if an acquirement somehow fails to finish properly, you get the rare message "The demon of the infinite void smiles upon you."
>>
>>151083845
Get a little melee, fighting and evasion to use with branded weapons to conserve arrows. Don't care too much about attack delay just actually hit shit. Get bows 27 and more evasion. Use shit like corona, swiftness, blink, leda's liquefaction, portal projectile, summon mana vipers, gell's gravitas, cause fear, tukima's dance, confusion, mass confusion, metabolic englaciation, invisibility, silence and discord to fuck up monsters with weaker MR or slow stronger ones so you can shoot them up. Even into extended a lot of shit has ~50% success rate which isn't shit if you take dith for double casts. Be warned that your longbow is essentially a ranged double sword damage wise so be aware of High AC targets if you didn't get an assload of slaying

I made a bee-line to the nearest place that I could loot from, but the zombie moose intercepted me. I don't know how close it was when I first even spotted it, but given my experiences with the living moose, it will become aggressive on me at the edge of my vision. I only saw it for one turn before it hit me too.

I bet it was behind a tree near the road, and then we ended up close to each other.

I fucking give up. This must be my 50th try today at just getting my first piece of gear, and I see another monster I have literally zero hope against at right outside of my shelter. I'm surrounded on all sides by forests of death as well.

>>151116753
DDA should require you obtain actual resources to craft things, rather than let you smash up furniture in the evac shelter and macguyver the resulting garbage into gear.
>>
>>151117662
Grab some rocks and start making your gear.

Just convince the NPC in the shelter to charge toward certain death while you GTFO.

You don't even need rocks (or to leave the shelter, really) unless you are unlucky enough to not get a steel chunk from bashing the lockers.

>>151117225
>given an excuse to convert an electric car into a boat
The shipwreck could be literally nothing and it would all be worth it.
>>
>>151118158
I have several problems with macguyvering:
- New players don't know they can and need to do it.
- For experienced players, it's just a chore.
- It's not really obvious to a newish player what you can and should craft, because there are a whole lot of trash recipes and many of them are hidden until you grind up the required skills. Although the bigger problem here is skill grinding, obviously.

Everyone would be better off if you couldn't craft anything by trashing the shelter, but you start with a guaranteed wrench or pipe lying around.

Yeah, I've never used the boat stuff before. It's kind of neat except that you can't make amphibious vehicles so you have to swap out wheels and boat wheels to travel everywhere. Well, and having to run back to town after discovering you need a lot of nails to attach boat parts.

>you couldn't craft anything by trashing the shelter
That wouldn't make any sense. At best you could make it so lockers can't be smashed to precious bits without some kind of tool. Everything else is would be the equivalent of invisible walls.

Besides, you don't really NEED to macguyver up a whole bunch of shit. You can just play more carefully, or recruit the NPC that is right next to you and loot the zombies they murder before dying.

You can make it even simpler by recommending newbies start as one of the many, many low cost backgrounds that start with a decent weapon -- scoundrel, survivalist, biker, etc.

>>
>>151121445
>>151121940
This sums up one of the main reasons that game is trash. It tries to be overly realistic whenever it's something that makes the game more grindy and less fun, but when it comes to shit that is entirely plausible but makes it less obnoxious to play, it fails.

Like why the fuck would soap not be in almost every bathroom everywhere? Why are antibiotics so hard to find?

Skill rust was also one of those things that seemed cool in theory but actually just made the game less fun, although I always just turned it off.

I get making the game harder, but the problem is instead of genuine difficulty you get tedious shit that boils down to having to just run around looking for an item that shouldn't be hard to find.

And the game isn't even hard, despite all their efforts. The end game is still easy as ever, they just make the early game obnoxious and an unbearable grind of tedium.
>>
>>151123249
>Like why the fuck would soap not be in almost every bathroom everywhere?
Because soap is super useful, and it's obvious that most places have been picked clean already.

Same goes for antibiotics.
>>
>>151123473
This excuse doesn't stand. Everyone is dead, and they didn't have enough time to use up all the soap, yet they're not carrying it around on their zombie bodies, nor are there secret caches of soap anywhere.
>>
>>151123473
Yeah, that's retarded. Since billions died from the cataclysm, there'd be tons of resources left for the survivors.
>>
>>151123473
that hasn't made since ever since they massively ramped up the spawn rates so you didn't have to tour 11 towns to find just a single of the shovel/welder/hoe game breakers.

I can kind of see antibiotics but not fucking soap. And even then, it should be somewhere then but it's not.

Not sure. The storyline is a bit of a joke, to be honest. It started as a placeholder and was never meant to be taken serious, but then the game was so far developed that if they changed the lore, certain features and game mechanics wouldn't make sense anymore, so they just stuck with it.

Something with scientists experimenting and letting some extra dimensional hyper intelligent entity in called Blob. It infects people and when they die it reanimates them and controls them. It tries to take over worlds but it acts on a macro scale, not a micro scale, which is why the zombies are so dumb and fragile.

Then there was some kind of military malfunction or something where the turrets and stuff shot at both zombies and humans, which killed tons of people.

Also theres other stuff like the fungus monsters and all the other mutated shit. Can't remember how it all ties in, but I think mostly it doesnt.

You see, this is why i hate people playing brainless shit like MiBe or GrFi/Gl at first.. Its pointless, it only points you towards to use o and tab, sometimes a b or a d when needed, its fucking stupid and retarded..
What you need to do is play a medium difficult role to learn when to engage, when not to engage, how to manage your inventory and utilize stuff you have, from potions to scrolls
What you overlooked is that you think that rP+++ exists, it does, just on monsters, on you, when you open your character sheet, it just shows rP+ because you only have one level of it.
The problem also is that you died to orb of destruction somehow, that being one of the easiest stuff to dodge or block via walls or another monsters. You could even berserked and catch up to the spider and kill him before he weaves another orb
Also posting your morgue would help a lot to see what you trained, how and what was your inventory and other shit

Jesus christ, that equipment and wands, and you still die.. The way orbs move is in a straight line and start to curve as you move, so 'strafe' dodging them is the best way to evade them, even if there are multiple of them. Whatever you do, never ever tank them, try to just dodge them or crash them into a wall.
Learn how to utilize your inventory aswell.. Keeping an eye on what you have in there in tight situations, or in general, is really useful

If you use a wand of polymorph on yourself, you can't get pigged and you typically get a neat form:mushroom, porcupine, wisp. I turned into a wisp a couple of times and it was great: high resistances in everything, flight, no HP-deficient, electric-branded UC attacks, centaur-tier speed, high innate AC, and high innate EV. I totally understand why there's not a spell for it, but it still makes me ubersalty that there isn't.

Now that I think about it, why does Poison Magic not even have a level 7 spell? Looks like the game here is basically hybriding to another Conjuration or whatever the fuck magic branch class as soon as possible (as early as D9-11) and then proceed like any normal Deep Elf training Charms for haste/deflect missiles.

How do we buff Poison magic and make it as solid as Fire/Ice/Earth?

Poison as a status effect is shit because everything resists it and the other stuff deals huge damage instantaneously. If you gave other status effects to the poison school like paralysis/sleep, blind, confusion, slow, or instantaneous irresistable lethal poison then maybe it might be ok, it'd be different from the other schools of magic, and it'd still have good flavor. The devs for whatever reason think status effects are more powerful than just killing your opponent outright so they'll never add high level spells with irresistible status effects. They even removed mass confusion which can be resisted too so good luck.

If status effects aren't your cup of tea, you could add a high level spell that causes instant death in poisoned targets. M-muh balance though! I-it's not like firestorm or glaciate instakill their targets!

It certainly looks like bloat and unfinished product for now.

Idea to make poison magic of interest to many characters:

Remove ambiguous generic poisons, and replace them with poisons that are damaging against specific races of monsters like the current generic poison is with a few changes for balance. Using a poison that isn't lethal may have a special alchemical effect, e.g., using orc poison on a giant newt gives it +5 AC. This would give you some way to manipulate things to make them more vulnerable/useful if you decide to charm, confuse, polymorph, or raise them as dead.
>>
>>151154412
>>151154412
>>151154412
Closest I can think is using poison cloud/toxic radiance and ignite poison
>>
>>151166443
Your idea is bad.
>>
>>151166443
That's not how poison should work. All they really need to do is make some better spells, or add extra effects, similar to the various needles.
>>
What is against actually including acid in the poison spell line
>>
>>151166443

You need to keep it simple. Simple but solid, just like the other spell branches (except Hexes).

How about monster rPois simply goes from + to +++ instead of + = immune

I usually defend crawl devs, but this is just shit design.
>>
>>151168639
they intended it to be an early-mid game spell school, which makes sense considering its highest level spell is 6. there's plenty of other things in the game meant to be effective at the early game and then taper off
>>
>>151168847
But they forgot to design the game in such a way that switching schools in mid-game is a better idea than just picking a good school from the start and sticking with it.
>>
>>151168847
yea, like literally nothing
>>
>>151168847
Why would you ever take poison school now that you can't use potions to create clouds of toxic confusing gas? I didn't even know they removed it since even using it as a Naga years ago I got frustrated feeling like it was only option, and it was still a shitty one.
>>
>>151169026
>>151169098
>>151169731
yeah i mean the school is still shit and doesn't quite fulfill its purpose, but it's not inherently bad to make it an early game school

>>151169883
>it's not inherently bad to make it an early game school
With crawl's skill system it objectively is. And even pretty early on in the game there are quite a few poison immune monsters.
>>
>>151168061
How is poison right now a distinct experience when its just single target blast A and bolt spell B just like all other schools
>>
>>151168847
>early-mid game school
>bad against two of the most dangerous lair monsters
Poison is that school you get five levels of if you find poison arrow or poison cloud and will always be like that so long as its spells are nearly identical to what other schools offer.
>>
>>151169883
You do so by making its late game options less viable than those of other schools, not by not having them entirely.
>>
>>151170442
The same reason why anything happens in crawl development, because some retarded autist said so.
>>
>>151167047
acid wouldn't add anything into the game.when its vs monsters
it would be just another "do you resist this" like elemental spells already are, because it would need to be like lvl 6 for balance reasons, at what point no melee otabs would never pick it up.

i'd actually like for them to add it in one form or another to make sBlades viable lategame
but i think a unrand sBlade would do it better than a spell

I was not suggesting you spend hours grinding crafting skills or collecting umpteen wolf pelts.

I was thinking more like, you'd have a little base in your serf shack, and do farmy and crafty stuff during downtime to get food and basic supplies and money, with time lapses to keep this from being boring. But you'd keep getting interrupted by opportunities, or voluntold, to go do quests and clear dungeons, like little dungeon branches or some bandit camp in a forest. And you'd come back to your shack, but you'd get money and skills from repeated dungeoning and want to move to bigger and better places where you can learn better skills and get better crafting resources and get told about bigger and better quests. Over the course of the game you shift from wanting to spend as much time as possible doing safe stuff at home, learning crafts and doing crafts, to spending as much time running rampant in dungeons because it's vastly more rewarding to kick open a dungeon and kill five thousand ancient liches and take all their stuff and come home to party than to sit around making a sword or spell that's slightly more dope that the one you already have.

So you start out being a serf who dreams of getting apprenticed to a wizard or blacksmith for medieval STEM money, and you end up being a rampaging hero who gets showered in wealth and praise for tabbing all the dudes and taking all their stuff. And then you win the game by doing a really hard dungeon for really important reasons, or possibly for a pretty paperweight.

What is with this game's fetish for stuffing basements full of enemies? Why would a giant spider sit in a basement? What prey is there to acquire there? Why twelve zombies? I'm baffled.
>>
>>151210712
I'm not sure why you didn't anticipate this potential outcome and take steps to prevent it.
>>
>>151211069
Yeah I had the signs. I downloaded the latest nightly build, and I guess they gave zombies good trap detection since they moved pretty weirdly through that field after the foose.
>>
>>151211107
>Why would a giant spider sit in a basement?

It's a cool, dark place that's secluded. Perfect for a spider's lair.
>>
>>151211285
To eat nothing. I literally never hear about people venturing into basements because they are all hell. It's either a whirlpool of grabber zombies, a webbed spider hell or a ton of rats.
>>
>>151211439
The spider'd scuttle out during the day to hunt, of course. If you found it in there during the day perhaps it was resting.
>>
>>151211547
I used the same house as my base. I'm pretty sure if it's intended to actually ever leave the basement it never does that.
>>
>>151211439
That's weird, I read that basements are often stuffed with loot, or make excellent safehouses.
>>
>>151211639
Maybe with really good armor and traps setup to pull them into up stairs.

>A zombie is coming up the stairs x21!
>>
>>151211848
I think the thing I read was several versions old, so maybe they made basements more dangerous. It might be you're just supposed to look inside and run away if there's lots of monsters.
>>
>>151212935
You can just close the door if you see spiders and they can't open it.

The only really dangerous things are survivor zombies early game and giant cellar spiders (but see above).

I look into the source code of bailey.des.

There's no teleport trap in that item spot, you don't need to become a Formicid to get the items.
It's possible to get them if you have passwall.
If you're feeling lucky, you can't even teleport to get the items, they are marked with no_tele_into.

# Starting room flavour. You cannot actually get the axes.
* "unobtainable" hints that the item is supposed to never fall into the player's hands.
It doesn't actually keep it from doing so, just tells that to acquirement and (TODO) troves.

Q: Do you do any challenge runs or speedruns?

In the DCSS community speedrun can mean minimizing either the in-game turncount or minimizing realtime. A 15-rune turncount speedrun wins anywhere between 19,000 and 50,000 and turns, but even winning in 60k-70k turns with all runes can be quite difficult when you first try. Since winning with 15 runes gives higher scores compared to 3-runes, and high scores are also tracked for each race and class, 15-rune turncount speedruns get more attention than 3-rune turncount runs. The 3-rune category has seen some significant competition in years past, however, and the category is very difficult, since it requires extremely precise turn management to win in as few as 10k turns.

I've done MiBeTSO and DeSuSif 15-rune speedruns attempts aiming to win in <30k turns (or just low 30s) and held the HE species score at one point years ago, but I haven't been doing speedruns much recently. I often begin my stream with 30 minutes or so of a speedrun until people arrive to vote for the next combo to play for a casual run. Casual runs tend to make better streams since they involve fewer restarts.

I'd also like to try some realtime Berserker runs, possibly getting a sub-hour win at some point, and I may do some of these on-stream in the future.

Real-time DCSS speedruns are weird because they're so dependent on getting diesel quick enough that you don't have to think.
(Don't get me wrong, there's a huge amount of skill in it too. My fastest run is under 1:15, but the fastest run ever is more than half an hour below that.)

Unfortunately DCSS is set up to be 100% compatible with 16 colour terms and doesn't make use of 256 colour settings.
I have the same problem and my solution was to change the distracted/neutral highlight in my rc using the following lines

#"distracted" enemies show with purple background
may_stab_brand = hi:magenta
#neutral enemies show with dark grey background
neutral_brand = hi:darkgrey

For other terminal uses, you can often change the TERM environment variable to xterm-256color either in the settings or with the command line:
env TERM=xterm-256color
Some other roguelikes and many terminal applications have 256 colour support.

Hope that helps.

The sheer amount of 10+ win streaks would go strongly against the theory that DCSS games can be unwinnable.

Gnoll with spear on the only path out of the arrival vault when playing certain combos is the only thing which really goes against that.

>>151249717
It's not the same difficulty, shitter. Older versions (at least around 0.10 or a little later) are actually easier because enemies are more spread out in a larger number of floors. Branch shortening has made a lot of areas complete clusterfucks. Then you have artificial "difficulty", like the ID minigame being a little more tedious, or needing to swap out to junk equipment to kill slimes, compared to actual difficulty where corrosion stacks on a huge slaying and AC malus. And I never ever ever remember the absolutely ridiculous OoD spawns like D:2 centaurs, D:5 Ogre Mages, and so on happening in older versions. I don't remember exactly what version it was that the game started shitting out random high level monsters regardless of turn count. I do remember some silly OoD monsters in older versions but not to the extent that recent versions spawn.

Or they're placed at floorgen from a couple of poorly balanced mostly-minmay vaults.

Look through the .des for vaults that spawn 8s and 9s before D:9 to D:11, which seems to have been an historic brnchmark for where the harder vaults were allowed to come into play.

There are more of them in trunk than you might think, and in oldcrawl they would have been vetted before being added to the game.

No, it's not. A slideshow you can navigate with the keyboard is good. A webm you have to manually pause on each turn sucks.

If it's boring because you have too many pointless slides, delete the shitty ones. If it's still boring, your content sucks.

Your hydra stab webm would be better as a slideshow with just three screenshots: before shadowstep, after shadowstep, after stabbing the hydra.
>>
>>151279931

>>151280312
I would understand your point if any of the webms posted here had an explicative nature, but they aren't. They are fast-paced because the poster assumes everyone knows the game in question, or at least the target audience of the webm.
If you don't know the game or you haven't reached that part of the game yet, of course it will become a slideshow to you, as you want to read every happening as if it was a book, but there is no need to do that, as the webm itself is showing you the consequences of every decision made. That's the whole point of a video, after all.

TL;DR: I don't get why are you so upset about 5 images in motion about a spriggan stabbing an hydra.

Those niggas ain't diesel enough anon. The only DE wins with decent turncount were from the time before time in the long long ago when summons would attack things offscreen.

Pick something like DD or Mi.

No.

It's fairly rare and hard to craft because the recipe book is rare, so you had a lucky find. Remember to activate it to turn it off when you're not using it so you don't glow in the dark.

Time for the weekly MuMo struggle.
First attempt, found a shield on D:2, decided to wear it. Currently on the run from an orc with a hand axe who proved to be a mighty opponent. Trying to regen and fight again.

If you can win a mumo through sheer asceticism, you might become enlightened.

The first mummy died to a failed attempt of teleporting away from an adder+orc combo.

The second mummy barely survives an encounter with a giant gecko. Don't fight those at XL 1 unless you enjoy gambling.

Ran away from a gnoll pack and a player ghost on D:3, but I found a +2 buckler, cloak and boots so far, so it's pretty good.

why?

* Shorten lair to 4 levels
* Remove the random chance for a monster to just not drop a corpse when it dies
* Cut the number of enemies in half (and double XP to compensate)
>>
>>151291886
reddit is the weakest
/rlg/ is the strongest

>>151291886
Reddit people do what everyone else does. It's also a fucking dumb place, and I hope you don't go there.
>>
>>151291886
They need to git gud.

P.S. Don't forget to make a new thread, someone.

Increase the amount of XP enemies give by 1.5 to 3 times the amount they currently give.

>randomly spectate people just to make them nervous

>>151291886
That Chei is used for speedruns is common knowledge

That Chei is very sub optimal for most other contexts is also common knowledge

Any advice for DgCK?

>>151285835
Harm is pretty good if you like to defeat enemies by doing damage to them.
>>
>>151292930
Does increase damage before or afther armor calculations?

Comparatively, I'm only aware of one nethack winstreak that reached double digits: the one that won one game with every class.
