Anyone play the PK rebalance mod on cata?
Do electric cars cause tiles around it to be radiated? The street outside my base and around a car has high levels of radiation from something, idk what. PK mod added zombies taht make tiles permanently radioactive, but my street has been clear of zombies for almost an in game year and the radiation spike wasn't until recently, been using the street without getting any rads for three seasons
Found a cleansuit so its mostly negligible, still had to savescum a ton to find out where the 300 rads were suddenly coming from though, kept driving over the hot tiles and getting roasted.
Would like to know what caused it though.
The electric car seems to be solar powered too, so I don't think that's it, but idk.

updated vanilla. CLIVAN is just old IVAN with some mismatched patchwork to stop the big exploits but still really exploity.
>>
>>175950961
The favored *band of /rlg/ is PCB.

Standard/vanilla Angband is still a good game, though. Play 4.0.5 or the nightlies.
>>
>>175951354

what does PCB add to Angband?

>There's a 2000 character limit per post, he couldn't write that all down.
Okay, wasn't clear. Was just thinking in general, like "It changes everything" to "more classes/races" to "adds a theme of ____ "
>>
>>175951723
it uses angband's core mechanics and some of the monsters, but it's completely different in terms of content.
>>
>>175951479
PCB is a descendant of a number of variants that were intended to be "everything and also the kitchen sink." There's more of every type of content (classes, damage types, items, dungeons, etc). The game text is not always as serious as Vanilla ("Wormtongue, Agent of Sauron moons you!") and generally a lot more insanity exists. A lot more things have a random factor, e.g. exactly when you get your turn, exactly how much your "30%" resistance will actually resist this attack, 1/666 chance for Smeagol to drop The One Ring, that sort of thing.

Sil is a variant that goes in the opposite direction from vanilla. It's strictly first age Tolkein and is a lot more streamlined in terms of fewer types of monsters/items/etc.

Vanilla is more even-keeled but once I played it for a while I got bored.

Good idea!

>>
>>175951479
Lots and lots is changed, but it still feels like a *band.

Tons of additional races and classes; various quests instead of just killing Sauron and Morgoth; a handful of different dungeons instead of just Angband; different skill mechanics; and some other things. If Angband is almost entirely a Tolkien-inspired game, then Poschengband is influenced by a wide variety of genres.

If you've never played *band, it's hard to appreciate what PCB has to offer. Playing vanilla Angband and getting truly acquainted with it will help you understand how PCB's features are more than just bloat.

>>175952321
>Vanilla ("Wormtongue, Agent of Sauron moons you!")
Wormtongue and some others do these silly things in vanilla Angband, too.

Fucking Chris was tainted by the devil's team, I feel it.

Alright, there is literally nothing in the tomb
the reward is the axe I guess

But axes are shit in IVAN and valpurium weapons make everything around you become increasingly horrible so that's a really stupid thing to add as vault loot
>>
does staff of earth evo damage bonus stack with statue form or is it like elec where less blows mean less damage
>>
nevermind i died
>>
All in all the new IVAN updates are mostly cute fluff changes, but nothing substantial.
>>
>>175954489
the statform x1.5 multiplier happens before any additive brands are applied, so it will make elemental staves or weapons of elec/pain worse

brands like freezing are based on the damage done by your weapon, though, so when staform increases that it also increases the brand damage
>>
i think statue form should increase launcher damage too, because you're reloading using your stone muscles

The combination of the two. Certainly, learning the intricacies of one game -- to the point where you can win on most setups -- means you're a legit player.

Getting one win in multiple games just means you're able to follow the steps of a guide and know how to use the most powerful combos.

>>
>>175968529
any retard can slam his head on the keyboard and shit out a single win in every roguelike

>>
>>175969328
the GHB is a joke monster that does no damage, has oodles of HP, regenerates fast and teleports away at low health. You get a nice artifact when you manage to kill it.

Also, have this https://github.com/floatRand/pseudoposchengbandR_release

It's a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork of poschengband which is in itself a fork of (...) of a fork of moria, so it's keeping the tradition alive.

Basically it's just PCB, but with some quality of life changes that will make it more bearable in the long run, like being able to examine mosnters and knowing what they do (oh hey this thing can kill me dead three times in a row if I stay in its line of sight and even if I don't it'll teleport me next to it!) which is really good and you'd have to cheat it otherwise.
Also easy_id gives you autoidentification at level 25 so you don't have to waste time ID'ing every single piece of wood you come across.
>>
>>175969469
If you're playing with easy lore and easy id you've lost the plot, it's straight up softgrounding
>>
>>175969963
starting out PCB without easy_lore is literally the same as rubbing your balls against a cheese grater with one hand and squeezing a lemon on them with the other, while banging your face against the keyboard.
It's the safest way to make new guys hate and ignore PCB altogether.

Man, I haven't touched regular PCB since 3.5.
But I'm pretty sure easy_id just gives you pseudo_id at xl25 and removed *ID*.

Still, he should play -R because it's objectively better.

>>175970270
you can get detect doors, preferably from staff (sometimes available at the 6 shop) or later a rod. You can use the scrolls too in a pinch, though I don't usually buy many of them unless I'm trying to dive some dungeon and need stair detection and don't have a staff/rod yet.

Also, there's a trick I found that helps. Once you're a bit used to the dungeon generation, if you are pretty sure there's a door somewhere and don't want to bother (or keep failing) to search for it, just tunnel its tile. Hidden doors can be tunneled very quickly and even with low strength scores, unlike some/most wall types.

I'm pretty sure the arguments you've presented thus far are:
>Having kids is bad because the world sucks and everything is suffering
To which I asked, "Why does it suck, whose fault is it that it sucks, what is the cause of suffering, are you even going to do anything about it or are you just going to act like you have no influence on anything that happens?"
Your reply:
>Woah look at this retard who thinks he can change things. He doesn't even know that feelings are retarded what a pleb. Emotions are dumb and dreams are dumb the only rational solution is to be a robot slave like me and get the things society wants to let me have. My thoughts and rationality are superior even though I don't enjoy them because that would be dumb.
To which I said, "Is it not the case that in attempting to numb yourself to all emotions you have actually simply superseded them all with fear and insecurity, shutting yourself down before you have a chance to fail, the weak man that you are, you still think yourself superior out of some irrational narcissism. In attempting to rule your emotions, you are instead ruled by them."
At which point you lost all reason and started arguing with the argument itself or some dumb shit while disregarding everything I actually said to criticize you, while simultaneously accusing me of the exact thing you were doing. And of course, I began to be depressed by the extent of your depravity and lamented in soliloquy the fact that this is apparently the only conversation I'm capable of having with the so called intelligentsia of species of people apparently different from myself, and incapable of applying skepticism to their own disbelief in the things that I find very comforting, that they would find comforting too, if only they did not shut out everything that threatens their established perspective.

You are a sad little man who is addicted to his misery, comforted only by the futility that is only inherent for his own lack of courage.
>>
>>175969963
Easy lore is the exact same thing as automatic probing. If you don't have it on you're just wasting more of your precious time than you already are by playing a 20 hour game. Easy ID is the same thing - why fuck around with identifying 25,000 excellent items on the off chance that 50 of them are better than your current equipment when you can just have them auto-ID'd by level 25?

probing gives you a bit more info than easy_lore
specifically it can tell you each monsters exact speed and exact current/maxhp even though speed and usually maxhp are slightly randomized

I think I was still packmuling at that moment. After collecting all the loot out of the UC and fixing up my stuff I ended up like pic related. As soon as I find an amulet of elemental protection gods willing, I'll go back to UC 1 and eat all the spiders I left there while running on the worldmap with the steel plate mail I also left behind. I'm having a bit of trouble remembering who to science talk with, but I think I'm pretty close to chatting with the mayor (now tour guide) of new attman, then going to the librarian after which point I seem to recall a small gap where you need to eat ommel cerumen before you can talk to frogs.

to which i repllied,
>this isn't a serious position to take, you can't honestly believe you can prevent your kid from having cancer just by fighting hard enough.
you then started making all sorts of projections and personal attacks about how unvirtuous and pathetic i am because you lack the attention span necessary to actually stay focused on a single line of argument and follow it to it's conclusion, you haven't attacked the principles behind my argument, you just disliked what you think it reflects of my character.

your entire modus operandi is to disregard your opponent's words and make shit up based on the emotional associations the general tone and "feel" of the post, citing your so called insights as divination or ESP, you're incapable of substantiating a single criticism you have on me by quoting any of my posts, meanwhile i can objectively point out the basis my criticisms.
this is extremely self indulgent from the perspective of philosophical etiquette, even if theoretically i did believe that i had access to the secret truths of the universe by divine means, i wouldn't expect you to just take my word on it. you're ignoring the burden of justifying anything you say, and you still dare to say that you actually tried to argue with me? you're just flinging shit and getting too heated up all on your own.

probing tells you things that aren't in monster memory

any individual monster can differ from it's race's base speed by +/- 3. monster memory does not reveal this but probing does
also, many monsters have randomized maxhp, like this 11-headed hydra's 100d18
a half-titan cavalry may want to probe potential mounts so he can choose one with above-average speed and hp
(also rings, who ride mounts and can get a probing spell)

you should actually use probing before claiming that it does nothing easy_lore doesn't give you
although uniques have neither randomised speed nor randomised max hp, so there's really no reason to probe them
(unless you want to see how much you've reduced their maxhp through time damage or vamp weapons, but that doesn't really matter)

lajatangs are good for exactly one thing and that one thing is launcher users that use two handed bows or crossbows and want backup melee weapon without too much investment. every other character should either get a better weapon if they're melee focused, or get a one handed weapon if they're a spellcaster so they could use a shield.
>>
>>175979861
lajatangs are xp efficient
they're probably the best weapon for 14 skill or below barring a qblade of elec
there are plenty of better 2h weapons, but only if you are willing to spend more xp on your weapon skill

>Even a child can figure out that such a thing doesn't exist
whether objective truth exists or not is not the relevant part, the only thing that matters is the fact that there's a mutual understanding between two people on how to measure "winning" for examples, if we both have a mutual understanding that having an internal contradiction in your own logic is a major fuck up, then if one of us is able to "objectively" prove to the other using quotes that he contradicted himself, then that becomes undeniable. "contradictions are bad" is this indisputable measuring stick by which we measure ourselves that has more legitimacy than statements such as >in my opinion you're stupid

> If you believe your own argument, then these things must be true of you as a person.
but you haven't shown your work, you have made no argument because you haven't shown why me being a degenerate follows from antinatalism. you haven't shown why it follows that i believe life sucks, for that matter, just because i believe having kids is immoral, or why my own life sucks because i believe having kids is immoral. you don't seem to understand that i'm making an argument based on principle. ON PRINCIPLE, having kids is negligent, even if life is wonderful. why? because it's not permissible to take risks on someone else's behalf without their consent. it doesn't matter if the kid would later enjoy life or will get killed at at age 20 or become the president, ON PRINCIPLE, i think there's something wrong with taking risks for someone else. you haven't made a single argument about why THAT PRINCIPLE is wrong. you've just made a whole host of assumptions about me just by guessing. calling it an argument is misusing the term.

It is literally impossible for contradictions to be bad because human beings require paradoxes of thought to even enable free will in the first place. The assumption that a contradiction appearing when you twist to context of a statement being a bad only shows that you haven't really progressed past the point of self-doubt in your own life. You still cling to perfectionism and become defensive over it as though it wasn't a false and untenable ideal in the first place. Like I've been saying from the beginning, you are literally simply threatened by the ideas of faith and conviction, faith in anything, even yourself, because the idea of confidence itself is entirely alien to you and you can only be validated by someone else patting you on the head and telling you everything was politically correct with a large number of upvotes.

You got Jewed. You aren't an individual. You can't be anyone's father because you can't be a man, not because it's impossible.

i don't know if they're the most fun warlocks, although they're definitely the most unique

demon warlocks are really good at devices so pick them if you wish you were playing rocketband instead of pcb
undead warlocks do... something? i think they get some attack spells like nether storm or something and maybe summon greater undead
giants warlocks are decent at melee and eventually they get a confusion blast that ignores immunity so they can permaconfuse the serpent
i dont even remember what hound or spider warlocks get

no, i mean a contradiction appearing even when you make sure words aren't being taken out of context, literally contradicting yourself.

Elona+ has great loot for "collecting" purposes (pimping out your house), but it doesn't have a very good gear system.

Poschengband has a lot of items dropping all the time, but again the gear system isn't really great since you'll never use 95% of the stuff that drops. Very much like Diablo 2 as a roguelike.

ToME4 has a pretty good loot system too, but once you play through it a few times you've basically seen everything.

ToME edges out other roguelikes in terms of loot because they have items that actually do things, and unlike DCSS you'lll actually see them often enough for it to matter. PCB has a lot of uniques but they're all glorified statsticks anyway.

drop quality is the average of dlvl and monster level
at the entrance to mine killing level 23 monsters is only getting you level 49 loot

you could get better quality items just running around the first level of dragon's lair -TOing all the dragons and picking shit up off the ground

There's no reason not to go for a book start unless you're going Trog (why would you go trog as UC). A book is worth more than anything any other starting kit offers by a wide margin.

Yes. Book starts are incredibly good when you are _not a fucking 2 int troll_.

>>176012667
I really want anything other than TrBe to be realistic but TrHu doesn't get enough RUK and every other troll starts to take enormous amounts of damage if it doesn't somehow win the slot machine and get dragon scales early on

you basically get to lair and then you have to not play like a troll anymore which is bullshit and not fun

It's the difference between mechanically/chemically sourced damage from an organism/construct or magically sourced damage from an inherently magical being.

the "water" element is specifically "whirlpools" in angband

well, yeah sure. It's 20 free levels right off the bat if you can kill him or just 10 if you grab a bow and arrows at the starting shop and then do thieves, which for almost any class with high xp penalty is pretty decent, even if you could just grab a crossbow and kill the thieves yourself and then do warg to get to level 10ish even as a 300% xp penalty class.

Just do TrAr of Hep.

Artificer starts with a small amount of Evo, so you can blast things with wands/evokables when claws aren't optimal. Hep gives you a strong ally, especially by Lair, and that ally gets stronger the whole game; the HP hit is basically meaningless to a Troll, since they have both +30% base HP and innate Regen.

>>
>>176044679
no need to outrun, literally just shoot and hit 9 out of 10 arrows because hydras have no EV. if you get bad rolls retreat to stairs. if the hydra gets close but has low hp you can risk 1 or 2 arrows from point blank range. if you have ruks it'll just die in 3 hits.

Call me dumb, but for a Tr using any sort of maces is better than using bows unless you have a nice wand or invis pots

>>176046595
>>By the time you shoot like 5 or 6 arrows the hydra is in your face because of the 1.3 delay on short bows, what do you do then if its not low enough?
you reset the fight. the point is that bows aren't a very good way of dealing with hydras, if they were then hydras would be too weak since bows and arrows spawn in nearly every game, but they're a perfectly serviceable weapon if you're patient, that's only assuming 0 javelins 0 ruks and 0 wands spawned in your game. the greater point is that you never learned how to evoke feet, which leads to you doing all sorts of retarded shit that can and will later on kill your character. hydras are a teaching monster in that regard, like player ghosts, but you never picked up the lesson.

said, there's no popcorn to have to 'o-tab' through so things take much longer time when you're new because you haven't internalized things like Jiang Shi pounce range or link details so you tend to examine things and have to think about your moves carefully because EVERY fight is designed to have the possibility of fucking you up, unlike DCSS where every fight is designed to be utterly trivial unless you get RNG damage spikes requiring more buttons than tab

monster angel has always looked like a high quality class to me, even if it only has priestly melee. Monster balrog is also priestly melee and usually transitions to range by that point with castable Hellfire and high devicing, but angels don't really have those options and the buffs/healing I guess make melee better. You don't get any of the real big healing spells though do you, just the ~300 Healing?

Healing has never been an issue, 3 staves more than cover anything but Destroyer-tier fights. But the early melee buffs are a godsend that bridges the gap between ancient dragons to ancient multi-hueds, and the stats and utility stuff just pile up endlessly. The 90% life rating on the selection screen is a lie; you get bonus life for every new angel evolution. And later on you can summon gwops and whatnot.

oh i see the bug

the value of dmg isn't changed after the while loop exists, so if the very LAST curse out of the 10 is the 1-in-666 death ray, dmg will still be set to 10,000ish when the while loop exists

then that last block will add like 100 or so, and you will do 10,100 nether damage to your target

it's a 1 in 666 chance

also it only matters on things that survived the deathray in the first place (and aren't immune to nether), so mostly just uniques and the occasional demon or nonliving enemy
>>
>>176062982
>it's a 1 in 666 chance

>each individual curse is a 1/666 chance to be a deathray, including the final one

Alright so, great curse actually casts 10 curses so you have a 10/666 chance for it to work so it's actually kind of 1/66, right

and you worded that as if it would only apply if the last curse would work don't you meme at me

uh no you fucked the math up real bad there
with 10 curses it's a 1.49% or about 1 in 67 chance per cast to get at least 1 deathray
if you wear enough cursed shit you can hit the cap of 14 curses, which is 2.08% or 1 in ~48 chance

the unique instadeath bug only happens if the exact last curse is a deathray though, so it's still 1 in 666 regardless

but your chance to deathray a gwop is significantly higher

I disagree, you basically have a 1H weapon online along with whatever spells you picked up along the way.

Gnolls have fast enough skilling that they can lean on SO many things that other species can't.

Melee for everything + magic for anything you've found+strong invocations (well, Invo at 8 or so is much better than Invo at 0). Javelins, throwing in general, and wands are perfect at skill 8-9. And all that for low, low cost. Gnolls are a wet dream for players who can think broadly and who take everything with them.

don't you mean humans
since humans can actually level stuff past 10

ID your crap, anon. And even then, you'll get so many wands per game that it doesn't matter.

Playing hellcrawl feels like playing .18 and trying to go back to .13. Game tells you exactly how much damage you give and take, perfect info on AC/EV/HP/MR and damage. So nice.

IIRC:

Difficulty increase. More ironman-ish; the real gimmick is that you have to go through Hell with the Orb to beat the game.

Branches play differently, and it ultimately feels a lot weirder than regular Crawl.

There are some really interesting design choices that should probably be in normal crawl, if only to cut down on tedium.

I was thinking of healing more in terms of chunk heal at once in dangerous moments
i.e. where a life caster might get greedy trying to not fail a cast of *Healing* instead of quaffing it

It's just a matter of how much risk you're willing to accept and how safe you are when you try to use it. I haven't played a lategame caster-caster with life magic magic really, not sure how low you can really get the fail rate but on my life paladin it was extremel risky 18% fail even at level 50 with 18/*** wisdom, though admittedly not highly skilled up and without stone of life because randarts...even 5% fail would be asking to die

>>176077691
but also it still really did take good pressure off of key consumables and was useful when I felt I could survive a turn even on failcast, but wanted to gain more than measly 300 hp. Safest when you're not in los of danger of course, but IDK that you want to risk zapping wall building or phasing if you're in a oneturn life or death situation

I'm going to bed now, it's been a fun run for today.

I'll probably do the magi trick near the bottom sage taught us tomorrow so I can get some good artifact rings. I'll probably find a way to cover my Ac resist hole.

Currently doing around 2000 damage/round to anything that doesn't resist FiCoPo, and those guys have 1500 HP. Could be a biles 2.0.

>>176078590
athena herself doesn't resist fire either
though you may want to keep her alive to farm ultimage magi

Oh and wow that randart shield is diesel as fuck, basically Shiva's shield
hope you find the leather jacket soon though idk you'd be able to fit it in
>>
>>176078805
I already aggravate with thanos and the rune sword and the sword isn't going to come off no matter what
Honestly I just keep popping the maledict destruction spell repeatedly whenever I get on a new level and it's been working fine so far
>>
>sitting
lmao if you dont play roguelikes on a treadmill desk
>>
>>176078953
It's not a randart actually, it's a PCB-R addition. It gives retaliation.

Which is basically the only thing that's really making the whole nightmare thing viable to be brutally honest, considering monsters have twice the HP
>>
>>176078973
town enchant up that shield for a few more points of ac, yours is still quite low

>>176079092
oh nice didn't realize it was standart

It's scripted so it can't be enchanted, it's one of the drawbacks.
