/rlg/ - Roguelike General

>angband comp is forced_descent
i would probably play it if not for this
ironman is too uncomfy though

Ever since I started playing POWDER on the PSP, I always miss my connections and forget to get off at the right station, so I guess it's a good game.

And after my 5th try I finally gathered enough XP to chose a god. For some reason my female characters last longer than the male ones, but I guess that's just a coincidence.

If you are playing 1.1.0 or earlier sure.
Smithing is kind of suffering in 1.2.0/1.3.0.

No, it'll make you want to kill yourself. Smithing was a pain even before they nerfed it into the ground.

Hello!

Draconians aren't that hard. Especially with poison or steam, comfy af to gas everything in your path. Also blocks smiters and arrows which is very useful.
>>181829350
>>181830082
CDDA is like the polar opposite to Crawl. Instead of things getting removed for no reason, things get added for no reason. While simultaneously ignoring all the broken parts of the game like this (which aren't even broken but """"realistic"""")

>>181817997
Ligh is tome's shittiest meme mechanic.

>>181819197
>>181827196
You dont need to start Fi really, As is just fine, even En but En early on is bit strange, -1 spellcasting apt can be a pain

>>181833728
at least crawl got light radius right - seems like every other roguelike has asymmetrical light radius so enemies can see you but you can't see them, necessitating the hellish tedium that is detection

>>181831859
Yiufcrawl is basically normal with bloat and memes added. It has a kung fu god that lets you do backflips on walls and shit like this.

When is it good in crawl to use staves? I just picked up Yiufs staff of chaos and it seems really good in the early game, but I don't see them scaling in the late game...

Are they basically just good in early by cross training axes?

>>181834578
they require very little skill investment to reach mindelay, letting you improve on other skills instead (and they unlock certain melee effects for magic staves, but they are irrelevant)

Lajatangs are rare to find too, but very solid weapons

>>181829350

It's not about how strong it is, it's about how hard it is to hit. You need something that dodges better than a big lumbering zombie.

Pop in the sewers to check for C.H.U.D.s, maybe?

>>181831859
>Instead of things getting removed for no reason, things get added for no reason. While simultaneously ignoring all the broken parts of the game like this (which aren't even broken but """"realistic"""")

That's a meme.

>>181809727
how do I set up cataclysm better?

my first attempt at worldgen made the roads stupidly huge and there is nothing remotely useful nearby the bunker (I chose a fairly noob start to learn the game.)

also slightly related, android version of the same doesn't load tiles even on M8 with power saving off (cpu unlocked.) just pointing that out incase dev hangs here.

>>181834578
Staff on its own, probably not.. But lajatangs are pretty cool if you can find any, usually the earlier you can get one is via agnes if she spawns in some of the branches with the rune or in the dungeon
As for the chaos brand, it scales pretty great into late game, it ignores mr so you can petrify/sleep enemies on hit if the effect happens, obviously.. and you can just fuck them up like that

>>181836035

Did you increase the distance between cities or something?
If not, you may have just gotten a remote start by chance. That's actually not so bad because it means there's a good buffer space between you and wandering hordes.

dcss noob here. I found a vampiric war axe at lair with 20 points in axes. And also have an exec axe of execution.
I heard vamp is pretty strong on axes, is it worth to ignore the executioners axe and go start training shields?

>>181836035
The default settings are ok for starting out. I find that making distance greater between cities actually makes the game easier because a lot more mansions and farms spawns and they always have good loot for the beginning.

>>181836467
I was a bit away from the main town, but the problem was the road proportions, unrealistically wide, felt like I was in mario 3 big world.

>>181836962

What, like a two-lane highway? Those can be generated, but they're rare.

>>181837196
yes and it was every road. buildings seamed fine.

>>181837393

Weird, all the roads were the two-tile highways? I've never seen that happen. Are you running latest experimental? Maybe somebody working on the mapgen code.

>>181836724
Nope, unless you're a DD.

>>181839024
Only winners play deep dwarfs. Don't you read the dcss blog posts?

>>181836962
All the roads are like that. They are silly on foot (it takes almost two minutes to cross the road) but look okay with vehicles since most are around five tiles wide.

I appreciate that, I do the same.

>>181843294
The tutorial is actually pretty good too, do it.

>>181843294
>>181844581

Since you are experts, how long do I have to expect to play until I win for the first time?

>>181846641
Depends on how good you are at roguelikes, also if you play stealth pacifist or not

>>181839675
So is this another unfinished thing or what? There is a useless portal that I cant do anything with, I got a random mutation and it blinded me the second time I tried it. Is that it?

>>181848195
Told you it was like Violated Heroine.

>>181848195

Don't fuck with the portals, they're bad news.
And yes, it's unfinished. There's more stuff planned for the portals in the future.

>>181848195
Yeah, it dates back to the whales-era and has never done anything.

Nigs, I'm on 700' and even better I don't feel weak as shit and terrified for once. Sil sure does load you up with loot past about 500'.

Thing is, I'm starting to run into things with Entrance, and while so far whacking them in the face with Glend has meant they haven't had a chance to try it, I have to ask: what counters it, because it sounds like splat.

>>181848512
>There's more stuff planned for the portals in the future.
Yeah just like how Ashley will be a fully-playable character "in the future".

okay so I'm gonna start playing sil now and I'm going to assume that edains are pretty much just bottlenecked into a rogue build that uses perception and stealth to enhance critical hits and control combat and generally shenanigan every situation

if I go primarily with ranged combat will it be enough to only melee as a last resort or a stab and will I need to pick up versatility to pry out the silmaril? is versatility alone enough to stab with assassination when appropriate and yakkity sax out of there with evasion when things get scary?

I guess I'll find out how many skills I can actually afford and the perception/stealth thresholds by trial and error

no I'm not going to play any dwarves or elves ever you know veronica wouldn't do that

>>181850479

Have you got anything to contribute to the discussion besides being a snotty asshole?

>>181850492
>shenanigan every situation
I'm just going to say this perfectly describes what I love about roguelikes.

>>181850492
>ranged edain
Sounds pretty hard honestly. You dont have archery affinity like elves so you probably want to use your xp in better skills than versatility. Also, why the hell would you try to stab things if you are an archer?

>>181850973
He is fishing for (You)s.

>>181851625

Kinda figured, he seems unreasonably butthurt.

>>181850492
Honestly, Sil is so granular that it's easier to just go play it than ask us. Also Edain are hard as shit for beginners, because granularity and lower stats.

Stab builds are also pretty hard to do.

>>181853062
What do you mean by granular?

>>181851910
well, that's a good way on 4chan to get attention

>>181853301
Every point matters a significant amount. So much so that you have to play Sil a bit and then think about your approach to inital builds, in my opinion, because 'eh, fuck it' isn't a good idea and some things do require exact values.

>>181851589
don't you have to set up a melee roll to get the sil

ok so if archery isn't a good idea will it work to focus on evasion and perception and do melee via footwork

>>181853553
>think about your approach to inital builds
HADOR
5/1/1/1
9 POINTS IN MELEE
CHARGE + MOMENTUM
NO THINKING REQUIRED

>>181855578
You put thought into that build, though.

>>181855515
it's more a damage roll than a melee roll.

And no, if you want to melee things you gon' need you sum melee score. Mobs get very hard to hit otherwise. Especially if you ever want to see crits. Perception skills are pretty good supplements, though.

Honestly, best first build in Sil is stealth/perception with a couple of evasion perks, stealth perks, and Loremaster.

Take a tour.

>>181855515
If you dont want to suffer too much, just go melee/evasion, and all the rest is bonus. You will probably want some Will as well as an Edain to avoid stat drain, and you want the Con point too anyway.

>>181856142
I think I'll probably go with Stealth and Perception, to what I think is -enough- for this depth, then put the rest into melee/evasion, trying to get the most immediately beneficial skills, and just used ranged as a way of harassing enemies and breaking up formations

>>181856513
You can figure out how much is enough if you have loremaster, since it flat tells you what a monster's perception is, and the manual gives you the stealth calc. It is more than you can afford if you plan on also going melee/evasion.

Loremaster discovery carries over to subsequent chars. I used to enjoy stealthy hammerchargestabbing.

>>181856865
loremaster honestly seems like training wheels and I'll probably get lorekeeper and never get loremaster ever to maintain my purity irl

opinions on NEO scavenger?

>>181857050
It kind of is training wheels, but that doesn't mean that deciding whether or not to take it is the same as graduating from being a newbie. You don't need it or lorekeeper, but the other methods aren't exactly perfect or efficient either. The ID game is pretty unfun to me.

Of course, you could just make your own shit and leave all that glowy crap on the dungeon floor where it belongs.

I feel like this is too hard for an edain and the most I could expect is a bunch of utility shit and one really great item in the end game with the skill that fucks my smithing forever

so I'll get lorekeeper and play the ID game

Well, I don't have a smart phone. I know it sounds weird, especially since I have a PSP and a 3DS, but I just don't get the appeal of smart phone gaming, and a regular phone is just enough for me for, well, phoning.

I'm new to the genre, so I don't mind if it's easy at first. I couldn't break it so far. Usually I get cornered or they suddenly drain like 6-8 hp. I'm playing Brogue on desktop.

>>181864416
I'm finding that out as well as the fact that my lack of grace/perception means its faster for me to reroll floors than it is for me to search for doors to find the stairs

I'll probably downgrade my dex for more con/grace and go for damage via finesse rather than stronk

Success depends on your Will
You can just try them, bad ones lock doors, spawn traps or spawn enemies at the stairs, So not much risks involved

>>181925508
I'm ashamed to admit, but it was a DsBe

>>181924683
whats wrong with offline?

>>181912881
There are some Internet services for roguelike or mainly Dungeons and Dragons music.
Check out "RPG Radio" or "Radio Rivendell"

Idea: Roguelike but real time. I'll call them Action Roguelike Playing Game or ARPG for short

>>181925780
Nothing.

>>181925679

How are you that slow then?

>>181925780

>>181925403
there is nothing wrong with playing slow and carefully

crawl isnt a speedrunning contest

>>181925917
>crawl isnt a speedrunning contest
No, it's an e-peen contest for faggots

>>181925904
I dont even know how to do this

Is there a way to prove that you won legitimately for offline players?

>>181925976
Ignore these faggots. 90% of roguelikes are played offline.

>>181925839
thats diablo2 hardcore mode and it was frustrating as fuck

>>181925976
No there isn't, but why would you care what online players think? If you would, just play online. Otherwise, be proud for your 15 rune win

>>181925976
No

>>181926024
Theres absolutely no reason to play crawl offline unless you have modem speed internet or no internet access at all

If you don't live near the servers the delay is basically unbearable. Maybe it's ok if you're playing webtiles with the mouse but >tiles >mouse

>>181925917
>>181925904

I like to think that even though my speed is bad, at least my winrate should be higher that way

>>181926078
>Theres absolutely no reason to play crawl offline

ok with that logic there is no reason to play online either,other than dick measuring and some stats

also offline version provides basic stats such as highscores,turncounts and winrate

>>181926175
>roguelikes with mouse
Please dont be like one guy i argued with that all roguelikes should be played with a mouse
>delay
Theres atleast one server on each of the continents..

>>181926218
Theres nothing wrong with going slow, just calm down and relax anon

>>181926381
>also offline version provides basic stats such as highscores,turncounts and winrate
As opposed to online which doesnt?

>>181926381
The major benefit to online is that ghosts are pulled from a shared morgue and it doesn't get extremely incestuous extremely fast if you play some combos a lot more than others.

On the other hand if you're playing offline you can just delete the morgue if that's your style.

>>181926483
I'm just pointing out that three is no real reason to play online

Same applies with offline

>>181925306
throwing is great you pleb

>>181891398
The website still lists 18.2, sadly.
I could upload a dev build of 19.0 if you'd like.

>>181926483
>Please dont be like one guy i argued with that all roguelikes should be played with a mouse
Mind to rephrase that discussion, if I may ask? I'm working on a roguelike in my free time, and would like to know what is the best way to implement controls.

>>181926682
I won HADOOOOR 5/1/1/1 by abusing throwing and kiting

>>181926647
>easier to get help
>easier to lose the bad habit of using the mouse
>ui isnt cluttered
>more diversity in player ghosts (read: free xp) and learns you to walk away easier
>more competitive scene (if you care about that) and easier to keep track of stuff like what you won, easier to compare your scores/combos to the same combos
Lots and lots of other benefits compared to offline

>>181926943
Just keyboard, obviously
And that discussion i had was with some guy from canada no offense to any canadians in here, but this guy was just.. where his argument was
>its 2016/7, why cant all roguelikes improve their graphics and get mouse controls, i cant believe i need to play roguelikes with keyboard only bla bla

>>181927173
this reminds me of a time when a really smart guy I know kept telling me how touch screen controls were the future and phone games were great and he was gonna release all these games he had ideas for and I was like

man

no

people want to hold a controller

and now people are basically totally disenchanted with the touch screen and what do they want? they want to wear VR goggles and hold control sticks in their hands

Nah

>>181848570
Anyone?

>>181926943
In my opinion, a roguelike should be playable with keyboard only, but good mouse support for convenience's sake is a great bonus. That's how I plan to do it anyway.

>>181929085

What the heck is this place. It's fucking huge and has concrete walls so Im tempted to turn it into a permanent base.

>>181935064
I had to use a tp to escape the 9 acid spitting slimes that spawned from Royal Jelly and i didnt really have any other rings that would have been more useful than robustness and str, atleast i think so.

>>181935293
>What the heck is this place.

Free CBM party.

>>181935594
The rings are totally fine but you never ever EVER use tp in slime, no matter what

>>181935609
Would be nice if I wasnt already completely stuffed with CBMs desu

What is the best? War axe of Speed, war axe of vampirism, or exec axe (of elec)

>Brogue will never be updated
>if it does it'll be dissapointing as fuck
Feels bad man

>>181935817
Depends on alot of things. What's your level, weapon skill level, class and the enchantment level of the weapons?

>>181935905
Forgot to mention that your species could also be an important factor.

last time i played cdda was like 2014-5, wanna get into it again, why is it 2 years since last release? what's going on with the community?

>>181935905
lvl 20 Minotaur of Trog

Shield are already level 15, with the option to buy an artifact +10 large shield with rN+

Axes are level 20, and all axes are fairly upgraded (lvl 6), but the exec axe is only lvl 3 cause I burned all my enchant weapon scrolls on the Vampiric axe

>>181936234
>why is it 2 years since last release?

>demonspawn mutation that reduces your fucking LoS
Why is this shit necessary?

>>181936320
I'd say stick to the vampiric axe. While the warax of speed is also a good option it wont be as good because certain things that would make you swing faster wont affect it at all due to how fast you can already swing it. The Exec axe would be a good option but since your shields skill is already so high and you have an option to buy a very good shield i wouldnt take it.

Unless you're a caster it lets you literally ignore hellfire/torment/thown ruks/OOD/smite/merfolk javelineers/naga mage/blowguns/ literally anything with range that would normally be pelting you from the edge of your LOS

>>181941180
"builds" doesnt mean anything, everyone end up the same anyway. Just play and pick the default, or random your character

>>181940708
There's a point when you should stop using first aid kits and start using a welder to repair yourself.

>>181952204
You have to follow the river until you find a yellow . sand tile to dig up with the construction menu. Seems rare and is kind of hard to see.

>>181954246
Conjuration will probably carry you better and won't put fuck you up as much but will fall off harder.
>>181954464
You don't play Brogue shut up

>>181951553

Tomenet, Triangle Wizard and Transcendence are roguelikes, not roguelites. Missing turn-based and/or grid-based isn't a dealbreaker even by berlin interpretation standards.

Also, first time with Xom and I'm surprised at how easy it is to play with him, but that's probably because the danger is reduced heavily by formicids not being able to teleport.
