>You can literally sit on a floor and kill the monsters to make up for the shit apts

>spending so fucking long on a single floor is an actual pro of being a Mu because they're so shit

>>94409103
Plus, being a scummy mummy has become drastically more shitty now that they've made it so monsters don't go to sleep anymore.

Used to be you could clear a level, then come back and wait til it was filled up again with out of depth monsters.

Now? Your rest will be broken up a million times by pissant goblins and rats invariably wandering up to you, because no matter how long you wait, the little shits won't take a nap.

>>94409103
You actually don't have to do that as a mummy, in fact it will probably get you killed via ood spawns.

The really bad part of Mu is no quaffing conduct anyway, not shit apts. Well, and rF- is bad too.

>>94409196
I still don't get why mummies need to be so shit. Mummies have a slightly shittier version of necromutation, and terrible stats and aptitudes. Gargoyles have a slightly better version of statue form, and okay stats and aptitudes.

So mummy = permanent necromutation-ish
gargoyle = permanent statue form-ish
vampire = low blood bat form at will

when are we going to get a permanent tree form race?

Well, I explored Zigs under Trog -- keeping in mind that as I singlemindedly pumped Intelligence, my stats were not on par with a normal Trog type.

Its not impossible, but if you think you're going to just tab your way through you're dead wrong.

I found the Cloak of the Thief and the Disc of Storms insanely helpful, one for making it so you only need to fight a few monsters at a time, the other for much needed AoE.

You'll probably want to understand blowguns and their specialty ammo. A needle of frenzy against a Pandemonium Lord at the right time can be handy.

Rod of Clouds and/or Destruction could be useful.

You'll definitely want to bring some Tomb cards and a wand of digging and disintegration as well, so if you're getting overwhelmed you can face your foes one at a time.

FFS get some kind of missile repulsion/deflection too.

How do you Mu

>>94415803
Depends on how high your throwing is and your blowgun is, and I believe shooting them when they have a ? over their head enhances it.

>All needle types except "poisoned" were introduced in version 0.6. There's a saving throw for monsters: if 1 + 1d(4 + your throwing skill + your blowgun’s to-hit enchantment) is greater than the monster’s hit dice, the effect will be applied. You also have a straight 2% chance of succeeding for monsters with a hit dice of 14 or below.

>Some statistics: with no skill you’re still at 100% to succeed on HD1 or HD2 (gnoll, D1 monsters), 75% on HD3 (Sigmund), 50% on HD4 (Duvessa), and 25% on HD5 (ogre). With 4 skill as an early Assassin, you’re up to 56% on an Ogre, or 33% on a Yak.

A brimstone fiend has 18 hd, so with a +9 blowgun, that's already a max roll of 14. Need throwing 5 to have a tiny chance, and I'd wager about (not feeling like doing the math) a skill of 15 would make it happen more often than not.

>>94416336

Huh.

Thank you for that.

>>94416410
Anytime. I pew pew a lot so I don't pay the best attention to such things.

Rods of inacc are also great (think of them as a ranged stab weapon)

>>94416336
With zero skill you have 1+1d(4+9) namely 2-14.
5 to have a 6(aprox)% chance.
41% with 15 skill (1+1d29 it's a range of 2 to 30 vs 18 so 12 times out of 30 you'd get it (to simplify this do 17 vs 1 to 29).
or 23 in 40 at max skill or about 51% because lolnobell.

General outline of math.

>>94416806
Ah ok, was off by 10%, but that was just eyeballing it.

>>94413965
Food was slightly more challenging when they still had nausea.

>>94416901
I could have done the math wrong, but mostly the % is because the game has no bell curve for some reason

>>94413965
You gobble down a lot of food in the crypt and tomb as a caster, and when the minolab shows up, or certain other bonus vaults, you'd better hope to have enough permafood on you to handle it.

Also some chars suffer worse than others. For example, deep dhorfs have okay int and aptitudes, but horrible spellcasting aptitudes.

>>94417112
No I mean I was off by 10% in guessing that 15 skill, +9 blowgun meant 51%, when in reality it just means 41%.

>>94417192
>>94413965
Also, it can cost you a turn when doing a series of heavy casts.

Without a food clock, how would you know you're playing a roguelike?

>>94414612
Wouldn't axes be better for aoe than discs of storm at this point? Also how useful are evocables that summon shit in there, elemental, horn, rod of shadows tc.

Does anyone even use this? It's so shit imo.

>>94417601
I just wish fucking everything didn't make you more hungry for no reason.

Spell and rod hunger is some serious jew shit. I don't even know how, but I bet the israelites did this.

Is eating a whole ham a free action?

>>94417837
It gave me things like elemental giants, tough dragons and stuff of similar strength, was pretty good.

>>94417701
>Wouldn't axes be better for aoe than discs of storm at this point?

We're still talking about what to do in a non int focused Ziggurat/extended endgame char's case, right? You unquestionably want a wide variety of attacks. I only left a few levels later after I posted that pic, but there were times I was so heavily surrounded by enemies (and no, I didn't just rush in blindly) that I needed to dump a billion ball lightnings point blank with the disc.

Axes are definitely good but throwing and various evoc are definitely heavily encouraged. Zigs are crazy.

Autism guy here.

I made a pile of 500 blessed towels, because Nethack does not have a bed, and I figure my character might need a comfortable place to sleep after 470,000 turns. That's 40 days of being awake!

High evoc rods of clouds are nice: Acid, Thunderstorms, or Negative Energy are quite potent. I'm carrying two, just in case, I don't know, I get ambushed by a bunch of Goast Moths.

>500 blessed towels

>>94424370
A pile of towels is pretty comfy to lie on.
The only question is how many.
A towel has weight 2, and a person's body has weight 1450. That means that roughly ~20 units of weight is 1 kilogram, so these towels weigh 100 grams each. Those are small kitchen towels.
In order to get a comfortable enough amount of them to lay on, I figured making them roughly as heavy as a bed would work - so 200 towels, or 20kg, would be not enough. But 500 towels, or 50kg would be enough.

It's a shame I genocided gremlins because FUCK summon nasties taking away intrinsics, otherwise I could remove my sleep resistance, put on an amulet of restful sleep, alchemise / farm up 500 potions of sleep, curse them, burn elbereth, pen myself into a small area with a bunch of orange dragons, and queue up craptons of turns of sleep on my comfy pile of towels.
In fact, next game I think that'll be my conduct for the game. Sleep for at least 100,000 turns on a comfy pile of 500 blessed towels.

Decided to finally try out this Ru dude. An excuse to play another naga!

I'm not sure if I like him in early game - you sac a lot of stuff and get that aura that sometimes does something. Then you get jump and it's... I used it twice and I think it was pretty bad but I've only used it twice (it's moves you closer to enemy AND disables your other Ru abilities (which are better) so it just never felt like a good time to use it). Apocalypse is super-strong but the drain is severe; that said, I used it as soon as I got it and was at dark red drain in Lair. But I've gotten to Lair so it didn't matter and then I won.

Sacced skills, love (who needs friends anyway), experience, Armour skill (I thought "durability" is HP and pressed YES before reading, but I've gotten robe of Night soon after that so whatever), and scrolls - the latter was even somewhat relevant (I did some Zig levels and at one point I realized I can't recharge my /heal wounds because to do so I need to read a scroll and I was threatened by things around and it just didn't work). Tried Apocalypse at lords - paralyzed Gloorxie, Mnoleg, Dispater, slowed Lom and Asmodeus, hit Cerebov with anti-magic, damaged Eresh. Did nothing to Anta, but my aura blinded or confused him a couple of turns after that, still neat. Also paralyzed a bunch of oofs in Zot.

Overall, I am not sure I like Ru. I think his saccing and "piety" mechanics are good, but the abilities are bland (permaRecite-but-better, one turn Recite-but-even-betterer, heals and some weird jump). I don't have any good ideas how to improve this, though.

Also, I just wanted to get 3 runes but V:5 had cloak of fog so I sort of felt obliged to do postend.

Thank you anon.

Hey DCSSfriends, I'm on a run right now and I just finished Lair. I swear I found the entrance to the Orc Mines before I found Lair, but I backtracked to like Dungeon 4 and couldn't find the Mines. Do they despawn if you enter another branch, and then spawn elsewhere? Lair was on floor 10, I'm pretty sure the mines were on floor 9. I'm continuing down the dungeon right now but I really need to hit mines...

>>94460483
If you press shift+G you get a list of all locations you've discovered and can choose to auto-travel to them

And no, entrances never disappear. They can close if they're temporary (sewers, ice caves, bazaars, etc) but the game will tell you if that happens ("you hear the slow/fast rusting of a distant drain" and things like that)

>>94460483
Nvm, just found it, it was on 12. Guess it can relocate, or I was getting confused with another run.

>>94460780

I think the piety gain was lower in initial commit, maybe? Oh, and they merged all combat decks in one - that was not very popular and was reverted. Then you get people who believed the strength of Nem was trying to get wonders ASAP in hopes for XP card...

>>94472307
I don't think they changed the piety gain outside of making it based on exploring, but the latest round of changes have been an improvement. I think having all the combat decks in one was a bit too unreliable but its better than playing dungeon maid.

Yo, niggas. I've been out of the loop since I did the Kenshiro win.

>>94477408
what version did you play last?

How do I enjoy DCSS? It doesn't seem bad, but the combat is pretty much nothing it seems and the magic I've tried so far (other than transmuting my lizard into having horns over and over I guess) was pretty boring. I've only gotten to about the 7th floor before I die to something so I haven't seen much

I've been playing a lot of Cata but wanted to move off it, been thinking of getting back into making new forts in dwarf fort.

Cata is no dwarf fort combat obviously, but it still felt better than what's in DCSS. I just sit here and when I'm in a hallway I hold down a direction onto I fly out the other side because fuck precision.

Is the item cursing tree worthwhile for a Doomed?

I don't remember being impressed by it when I tried Cursed, and I read it's melee-oriented, but maybe I'm missing something.

Combat is all there is to crawl, and crawl's combat is mediocre.

Play Sil if you want good roguelike combat, or play something like nethack if you want more weird interactivity

My only real complaint about bearkin that really pisses me off is that you start as a normal sized creature and then as you level up to a certain level you become a "large" creature, so when I played bearkin I went fighter and used a shield and a sword, then found some plate mail, some time around lair my plate mail suddenly falls off and all my points in armour were just completely wasted...

Melee combat is pretty straightforward, complexity comes more from resource management and positioning than how you hit things like in DF

Spells get more interesting as you go on, D:7 is not really indicative of how nice it can get.

If you want to try a melee build with a bit more to it try Skald. You play it as a regular melee dude who sings and enhances itself in battle.

Hey /rlg/.

I'm trying to get a char with the ULTIMATE MUTATION SET, just for fun, in the extended endgame.

I've noticed Jiyva is very stingy with his mutations and tends to take the good ones away as fast as he gives them. I've accumulated a large stack of benmut and decks of change.

Here's the question: if I get a bunch of Jiyva mutations at, say, level 1 (because they tend to disappear too fast to get to level 2-3) and leave him, can I use Helix cards and !benmut to add to levels of them?

Same question, but I stay with him for now and DON'T let any slimes eat items -- can the Helix card and !benmut add to the Jiyva mutations?

>>94499763
I think I'll stick with it. Seems worth the time once you get the hang of it. Thanks

>tfw lost what should have been my first DCSS win because I got impatient

I want to die

>>94505105
Helix cards and !bmut will not add to the unique Jiyva mutations.
If Jiyva gives you mutations that could be acquired from drinking !mut, then they can add to those, but not special mutations.

>>94505436
Ouchy. The high level Jiyva mutations seem impossible to get.

As a stabber, should I slowly transition towards a caster in late game?

>>94505995
Hexes and summoning or translocations are virtually obligatory for stabbers.

The tentacle spell and/or singularity make it so easy to get stab attacks.

>>94505105

The most humorous DDA death I've had, was being shot by a shit house turret. It was from one of those weird angles out of LOS that kept me from seeing it and thus leaving safe mode.

It raises a lot of questions, too. Who would place a turret in a restroom? Of what possible benefit would this be to anyone?

>>94510246
>>94510187
Jiyva mutations are hella good (seriously, reactive disarm, reactive confusion, and missile absorption are fucking insane), at the cost of you mostly never getting them and at the cost of probably removing all your good mutations.

>>94510350
4chan would place a turret in a restroom and the turret would either launch condoms, or launch feces.

>>94510350

Nethack antigold and gold cancel each-other out, but do not produce any useful explosions. The most powerful explosions you get in nethack are by trying to charge a wand and having it explode.

>all those highscores
Nethack scares me. It's like a magnet for OCD and autism.

>>94513917
>>94513425
As for my current score, I expect most of it is made up from the score of slaying puddings. 884 per pudding, and I bet I've killed between 120,000 and 500,000 of them (judging by my corpse collection), giving me a score of between 100 million and 300 million. This is one tenth of the maxint.
Mind you, this doesn't include the score I'd get for shoving the chest-o-gems up Odin's ass, nor does it include the fact that I could quite easily get (close to) maxint gold, thereby capping my score.

You should check out Dwarf Fortress.

People build computers, colonise hell, and build disease pits.
I remember the thread where the guy drained the sea to make a building that captures mermaids, and then he slaughtered the adult males (except 1) and bred the females, slaughtering the children for their ivory.
That thread was great.
I played the game myself, in an older version. It was fun, but I hated the music after a while.

For whatever reason I could NEVER trigger a tantrumspiral no matter how intentionally poorly I treated my dwarves. I set up hallway traps to automatically kill pet cats, and built an automatic puppy dropper that led directly into the main dining room. 3 Dwarves committed suicide. The rest could literally not give a single fuck. I made it my point to butcher children if they entered from map edge with a family. The parents usually did not give a single fuck.

Of course, dwarves are pretty hard to piss off if you give them great food, a great dining room, a great bedroom, manage to avoid exposing them to injury and miasma, and occasionally give them a "Lovely waterfall" by installing their bedroom with a drain and flushing them with water when they try to sleep.
(I tried installing a waterfall in the dining room but it interrupted meals and caused food to scatter all over the bloody place and rot)

What you forget is that he created a mechanism which would automatically air drown the children at a regular rate. THAT was the especially impressive part. Merpeople would keep washing ashore and dying whenever their population got past a certain level, thus unlimited free valuable mermaid bones.

I'm probably more Chaotic.

I figured it might be fun to troll Moloch for a bit. So I did. And it was fun.

I wonder if there are any effects from overflowing the anger counter. I liked sacrificing my (former) pet acid blobs on Moloch's high altar in the sanctum for thousands of turns.

Effect: Moloch rejects the sacrifice. Moloch gets +1 angry. Moloch hits me with a lightning bolt, which does nothing. Moloch hits me with a disintegration blast, which does nothing. Moloch tries to summon demons, which fails since they're all extinct. And he does this every turn until the corpse rots.

In addition to the legendary levels of umad, I'm planning to flood the valley of the dead with anti-undead and anti-moloch stuff so that it can be reclaimed.

There's no thrill of discovering new items, no thrill when you played your character you've had investment in into a corner and have to choose the course of action that will give you the best chance of survival, you don't find an unique and run away and exclude half of the level, no fun stuff like finding a god you haven't even considered early and joining it, or finding an item that makes you reconsider your character building. You just pick a combo and join a god and tab into rooms full of OP endgame monsters and if you lose you've lost 2-5 minutes.

I've won it once. I don't want to play it again. It's utterly boring. At least in the actual Zigs you have a character you've invested in put in danger. In Zigsprint it's just nothing.w

I think in general Crawl could use some cutting and I've got the impression devteam understands it, they just prefer to do it slowly (Vaults, Crypt, Depths etc.). Cutting Lair branches to 3 should probably come next, then maybe more of Dungeon/Vaults cuts? Would reduce filler quite a bit.

>>94530747

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE

>>94530747
I don't mean actually changing Crawl.

I think it is pretty good right now compared to where it was a couple of years ago.

Lair in three levels is a bit too much, maybe. 5 or 6 would be fine. But so is 8

What I meant was basically an alternate mode to Crawl, somewhere in between sprint and the main game. Something along the lines of Crawl "à la brogue". Only one main dungeon and short playthroughs

>>94530747
I think Hell needs to be shorter. Seven levels in each branch is too many when you're encouraged to get to the end as fast as possible.

>>94531034
Why would Lair branches losing 2 levels each be bad

>>94531125
>pretty good now
Not anymore, not fucking anymore, 0.15 and 16 killed the game

>>94531195
Lair has 8 levels, you'd be cutting 5 levels worth of experience. that's what makes a real difference between prelair and postlair, since orc gives fuckall xp.

>>94531125
Personally I like the variety that comes with different layouts so I would rather have shorter branches - I think it would be a general improvement to the base game (though it's better than it was, I mean I actually remember playing 0.9 and 0.10 and levels were either 5x5 rooms or layout_city, not much variety here).

>>94531184
I think Hells are in a good position since you need to dive it and having less levels would make it pointless.

>>94531364
oh dear I read that all wrong. I thought you were going to make lair as short as 3 levels. My mistake.

>>94531407
>I like the variety that comes with different layouts
Layouts AND monsters, of course.

How do i Kobold?

>>94531863
evocations

>>94531319
I have been playing since about 0.10 and I feel that the game has only gotten better every version.

Item destruction/old corrosion/encumbrance removal was a big change, and I think balancing out completely is something that will take a few versions.

But overall they were things that did not add that much to the game

>>94531184
Precisely because you are encouraged to dive in is why 7 levels is not actually that much.

>>94531863
Kobolds are pretty universal. KoBe is popular. KoFE is good if you wanna do magic. KoNe, too.

>>94532080
>Item destruction/old corrosion/encumbrance removal
These made the game casual as fuck

>>94532432
New corrosion is more dangerous than before and item destruction and encumbrance just lead to more trips to your stash. Do you really think these make the game more interesting?

>>94532432
Old Crawl became a joke once you got to the Lair. Past that point I died due to boredom more often than not (27 dungeon levels, no depths, longer easier vaults with no guards and sentinels...) I feel the difficulty is more evened out now.

The early game is somewhat easier but everything else is as hard as it ever was. Particularly, Vaults:5 has never been as dangerous as it is now. The Abyss is also more interesting. The Depths is pretty damn tough, a lot scarier than the old latter dungeon levels and quite new too. In fact, to me Zot should probably be harder, it kinda has stayed the same and the Depths are more interesting a threatening in some ways to me.

And those things did not really make the game a lot harder. They forced you to either:

* Play optimally. Run back and forth to your stash every two minutes. Constantly drop shit to prevent destruction. Constantly swap shit to prevent corrosion. Extremely annoying

* Don't do the above and get screwed


And as >>94532876
new corrosion is a lot more dangerous.

Getting trapped with negative AC and a useless stick as weapon can easily kill you. Old corrosion was just a bother. Devs are also planning to make corrosion a lot more prominent which is also nice. rCorr should be more than an entry ticket to the Slime Pits

>>94533202
>Particularly, Vaults:5 has never been as dangerous as it is now.
No corridors.

>>94533202
Forgot to say.

I think the biggest thing that needs addressing now is how enchanting weapons work.

Enchantment levels +6 to +9 should probably take two scrolls each.

Getting a +9 weapon is way too easy, I very often have it before getting my second rune.

>>94533430
When was that?

Anyway, from my experience, back in 0.10 the corners where not open. Retreating into the outside of the small vaults was very safe. There were also no Vault Sentinels so you could easily clear the whole thing by stairdancing with the exception of tentacled monstrosities (those were scarier back then I must admit)

>>94533795
That was the initial implementation of the V:$ change. A lot of people didn't like it, so the compromise was to shave off the corners.

Is anyone else getting fucked on Elona's panic quests?

Every time I accept one, I get a "map loading failed" error. I really hope my save isn't fucked, the last backup I have is from a week ago.

>>94534070
Oh...

Wow, that is evil

>>94533795
I don't think weapon enchantment is a problem and I would rather just limit it at +6 or something than making scrolls work on a magic number.

Or maybe making enchantment scrolls more rare.

>>94534078
Nevermind, just fixed it. Had my map folder in my save folder for some reason.

>>94534305
> Or maybe making enchantment scrolls more rare.
That creates the issue of relying too much on luck.

I think the magic number thing is not a huge problem, when you try to enchant a +6 weapon it could tell you "Doing this will consume two scrolls, proceed?" and would tell you you need another one if you only have one in your inventory.

I think it creates more interesting decisions. Makes you choose between having two +6 weapons or one +9 weapon if you are starting from 0 enchantment.

Also makes randarts in general more interesting, their enchantment levels often orbit around 6 or 7

>>94535098
I dunno, I just don't think it's worth it and I don't think it'll "balance" too much. I wouldn't hate it but it would make me raise an eyebrow I guess.

I didn't mind the old randomized system, btw.

Is the quality of the weapons you get from acquirement influenced by your skill? I feel like whenever I find an acq scroll on a character who hasn't decided on a weapon skill yet, I get utter shit.

>>94536930
Yes

>>94532876
It was more realistic, now you dont need to give a single shit to fire or anything.
What is the goddamn point of fireproof scrolls, but again i cannot complain on this much
But removal of carry weight is the most retarded thing ever
Now a spriggan/tengu can carry 99 big rocks, axes plate armors

>>94536987
>realism

>>94536987
>It was more realistic
Throwing javelins at killer bees.

>>94536987
you can play as a magic cat in this game

>>94537217
>>94537135
Yeah posting like a moron proves your point a lot.
No matter, game has it's own realism, and letting small or weaker species carrying 99 large rocks is retarded

>>94536987
The only thing that weight removal actually made imbalanced are large rocks, and only two races can use those.

Yes, a spriggan can carry 99 large rocks and plate armours. That won't do them any good.

>>94513036
>118684 uncursed black pudding corpses

>>94537434
It is the same thing with revelant items too
Carrying 6 daggers 6 robes for example or shitton of bread

>>94537720
Why would you carry six daggers? Six robes???

Bread - yes, it makes you make less stash trips. This is good.

>>94537424
Are you playing roguelikes for "realism"" or for fun? Because shitting about with stashes didn't seem very entertaining to me.

>>94534436
Anon, have you been savescumming again?

>>94537885
I have seen people carry 6-7 brands of weapons same for armor.
Same goes for other classes, a human carrying 3-4 chainmails. A minatour carrying again shittin of weapons and armor.
After removing item destruction they should have kept the weight since you can stash whereever you want and it will be safe
It is just casual as fuck

>>94538317
>I have seen people carry 6-7 brands of weapons same for armor.
It's pointless.
>stash
Stashes aren't really a great mechanic and are mostly a byproduct of search system (which is good).
>It is just casual as fuck
"Not realistic" != casual. Those are completely different things.

But overall I think Crawl is one of the more casual roguelikes. I don't think that's bad, that's why I like it after all.

>>94538517
I actually forgot to add casual along with not realistic there, my bad.
Crawl was always one of the most casual roguelikes. But it is getting more and mooooore casualized.
Most people plays it because it isn't on ASCII
