Internet Kraken posted:Why? Out of all the parts of the game that need to be tweaked, I'd put Hell at the top of the list. Its easily the least fun I have with Crawl. I have never really felt like Hell was particularly odious when doing post-game stuff and the vast majority of my problems with this game come from earlier stuff. I mean, yeah, it's not great. But it's not that bad, it could be as it is for a while imo and it'd be all right.

Spider:3 had Louise, Asterion, Jorgrun, and Mara all chilling on it. I swear sometimes the uniques all just decide to party up. Why does Louise have the sting spell? Its hilariously weak by the time you run into her. Even if it just exists so she has more stuff to cast other than banishment, it seems so out of place.

I have a big bulky naga of chei that is preparing to hybridize, and I found the Majin-Bo in a store. http://lazy-life.ddo.jp:8080/morgue/Stoats/Stoats.txt Do I want the Majin Bo on this dude? I have a bunch of HP and regen, and vamp is kinda cool for casting a load of stuff with the Bo. Thoughts? If I train up can Majin-Bo actually do much melee damage? tote up a bags fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Jun 11, 2016 |

Did the Abyss level gen change in trunk? Because this has happened to me three times on my current dive so far (abyss:1 twice and once in a:2)![]() i have a bunch of TPs so no big but might be an unfair end for a lower level character

Stoat posted:Did the Abyss level gen change in trunk?

It used to be that if you ended up in a closet like that you could wait a while and eventually the walls would open up.

IronicDongz posted:unrelated to anything else if I start as Gl with the helmet that looks like an ugly mummy sarcophagus head, I just hit ctrl-q. and one or two other ugly helmets, and that one dark blue shield. idk if anyone else does this but goddamn I just don't wanna look bad for probably the rest of the game if I can easily help it This is part of why I play using the revenant tile. It's one of the few cool monster tiles that works well with weapons/shields, revenants are super uncommon enemies so you don't lose your guy in the crowd, and the revenant tile is sweet. Speaking of, question: Is there any way to customise your player tile when you change form? The revenant tile would also be really sweet for lichform.

IronicDongz posted:Not sure, but it really doesn't happen much at all in my experience. Like, last time I wore something with it over the course of a 3-rune game I think I got confused like 5-6 times? It depends how hard you get hit, I think? Or that might be just for odds of it firing.

Despite that and getting hit dozens of times by CL every fight I almost never got confused, and even when it happened it was only for a couple turns.

My only experience with *confuse was on the most absurd randart weapon I've ever seen, the +11 Double Sword of Magnificence {speed, *confuse rF++ MR+} and it never confused me even using it from Lair 1 to the rest of a 3 rune game. Won me my first game. Of course, I had also just quaffed benemut on the same floor and gotten innate clarity.

So I've finally started trying to play casters and I realise that EV is going to be my primary mode of dontdie. The question is, where do I get more EV. I'm training Dodging (currently at 13), I'm just wearing a +2 robe, and I have a +4 ring of evasion. This gives me an EV of 22, and I found a great pair of +4 boots with rcorr and MR+ that has a dexterity penalty of -4. I take them off and my EV only pops up to 25. Does that Ev sound about right for snake/shoals? What kind of EV should I be aiming for for Vaults and Depths? Not like it matters, just got shock serpented in 3 turns while I tried to switch from my rPois buckler to my rElec buckler. Wish I'd had a blink scroll. pathetic little tramp fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jun 11, 2016 |

Most people go all in on int for casters however, so dodging only. I'd keep the boots on. What's your AC? Don't feel you have to stick to robes. Anything up to ring mail or equivalent is fine if you have the strength for it. e. too late, dead ThermosAquaticus fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jun 11, 2016 |

pathetic little tramp you left a ghost in snake with orb of destruction, poison arrow and a distortion weapon that has shown up in my game. a pox upon your house

Hey if you're gonna keep making weird/bad changes to spider bag/box of beasts, can you at least make them still spew out monsters even on the 1/4 chance that they get destroyed? I've had way too many experiences with them exploding on the first use and essentially wasting my turn/time which honestly feels like complete bullshit and is stupid.

Really shouldn't have splatted that guy so early but I underestimate shock serpents like it's an illness.

My first ever more-than-3-rune ascention!!. Only took, like, 7 years. And MAN post-game needs a rework because diving pan floors for hours drained so much enthusiasm out of me I didn't even bother with Hell, which I think I could've done.

yeah i've said this before, but pan can be kinda ok sometimes, and just the loving worst slog other times. like when I went through somewhere around 40 floors until I found demonic rune this tournament, it just gets so dull when that happens. raise the chance of it generating by 10% each floor until it hits 100%, tbqh

And right after halfling, ez kobold win! I forgot how goddamn good makhelb is. I used lesser servant so many times(it's so good) that's a 2-streak I wasn't expecting. not likely to last, though, considering the species I have yet to win with

Hypothetically speaking, if I should happen to have written an 80k word novel with more than a few nods the Crawl, would you guys be interested in a few chapters, assuming I'm not breaking any contracts?

After realizing that Okaasan means 'mother' in Japanese, and playing too many Okawaru worshippers, I've started saying "thanks, mom", when Oka gifts me something useless-but-well-meaning. "Here, son, I got you this!" code:
