TooMuchAbstraction posted:As I recall, it amps up experience gain but doesn't give you more floor items, so your levels should keep up, but not necessarily your equipment. experience was tuned so clearing a floor would leave you at the same level as normal mode, but item density was about the same so you'd have way fewer total items with how much smaller the floors were. I was conflicted about it it since it cut down on a lot of fluff but it massively hurt the smithing/tinkering/alchemy skills, which I enjoyed using.

Tollymain posted:someday when im not surviving capitalism and mental illness im going to surmount the game development program learning curve and itll be all over for yall big mood. Honestly a game I'd love to see is a mordheim style of deal where you're tasked with snagging mcguffinite from a big nasty city so you like, move your cart around the overworld, encamping on the randomly generated city and delve down into the unusually deep and cavernous depths underneath collecting this junk and selling it to the highest bidder stalker style and you hire your characters on as the run goes games over when your entire band is merked. So you can delve down as either a stunted goblin with a knapsack and a sharpened stick or paladin von badass and losing either of them has different implications for you, the whole time getting infected with vampirism, werewolf disease and mcguffinite mutations. Learning magic, picking up cursed poo poo, getting stronger but at GREAT COST but its ok because no single dude is your specific character so you don't feel as cheated when your guy returns with a bug where his head used to be.

The new area that leads to The Warden seems a little too common, but maybe that's just because I go in even when very ill prepared (default weapon on level 1? sure, let's go, how hard co  )(e) by the way, I can't make up my mind. You KBM or gamepad for this?

Oh, I could have sworn it was random. No wonder it drops so many "above 2.5x multiplier, get this effect" items Is there a mechanics/unlocks guide for the game as a whole anywhere? I have all four seals, but I haven't beaten the floor that that unlocks yet. I've seen videos of secret rooms besides the usual, and something called Breaches too, but idk how to access those.

Not that I know of. Breaches you should just stumble across playing normally, though. If you see a weird cross, destroy it and it'll open up 1 or 2 locked rooms on the level.

This christmas event in ToME might help me actually get a character through the Insane difficulty. I opened up a christmas present in-game and out rolld an additional prodigy point. Who knew that all it takes is the developer giving you a third prodigy point, so you can go for a build that hugely buffs your strength on a caster, lets that strength also benefit your mindpower instead of just your physical power, and then makes it so that half of your hugely buffed strength also applies to all your other stats, so you end up with over 200 in your primary stat during battle  edit: funnily enough i lucked into a fourth prodigy point later on, which led to me as an Oozemancer, a class notorious for being nigh unkillable but having low damage output, hitting a 10k crit on a poor critter. For reference, there's several achievements for damage spikes, and the highest one is for 6k. HenryEx fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Dec 28, 2019 |

As far as I can tell, you can only go once, but the level you enter on determines how many paths you can go down before challenging the warden.

Sacrificial Toast posted:This is exactly my experience with the game. Should have stuck with a shorter game length. If you were to clear each of the 8 area bosses once, and then head to the Darkest Dungeon, I think that would be about right. Counter - you are welcome to enter DD from day one, and don’t have to fight the bosses at all! Ok, I get your point though - you really need Level 6, we’ll kitted our heroes to fight, which is where the grinding sets in. I think there is a radiant mode that accelerates character growth - that’s a fairly good start for people new to DD. I played regular, then radiant, then Stygian with CC.

Hello friends I've spent my entire vacation playing Hades I've gotten good enough that I can reliably escape with pretty much any weapon as long as I can pick up a key Boon or Daedalus Upgrade. Part of me wants to try and make a Hard Mode save, but I also don't want to spend a ton of time re-grinding all of the Gemstones and other stuff.

In Monolith I know for certain I've ended a boss at 2.1x but didn't get the Gameboy for the temple shortcut -- I think in that case I entered with a Shield so it might be a "no-hit" requirement rather than a multiplier requirement. By the way, does anyone know if there's a secret connected to the rooms where each exit is lit by skull torches? I notice they're called out as well on the minimap, otherwise I would've assumed they were just decorative.

The aiming laser in Monolith is reasonably helpful for playing with controller. Makes some weapons like Railgun a lot nicer to use.RoboCicero posted:In Monolith I know for certain I've ended a boss at 2.1x but didn't get the Gameboy for the temple shortcut -- I think in that case I entered with a Shield so it might be a "no-hit" requirement rather than a multiplier requirement.

So I played a bunch of Hades. It's a great game. It's pretty much what I envisioned when we were discussing a arpg roguelike years ago, probably in this thread. What I dislike: once you figure out the basic win condition - two debuffs and one aoe, it becomes trivial until somewhat high heat. If your daedalus/weapon upgrades come late, you can get sorta hosed since some are alot better on specific attacks. This mostly applies to the weaker weapons. There's already a reroll system in place, why not let us reroll boons? I'd like to see some dead cells branching between areas. I imagine this is something that will come later since there's barely enough enemies to fill out the branches as it is. The ganeplay is top notch. You feel like 2D dante murdering the poo poo out of demons and almost every skill and weapon is unique. Pushing buttons feels great. If you like arpgs, buy this or pm me a haiku and I might gift you one. *limit of one.

Seconding Hades, it's great. It's not finished though, so I'd suggest people wait until release before getting it; currently it seems that everyone (myself included) just binges on it horribly, plays around with the NG+ difficulty modifiers, then loses interest when they see the grind the devs put in it for the voracious EA players. It's a good game, a drat good one. With a ton of polish. Just don't spoil christmas and open the gift early, imo.

On one hand, there's a solid argument for waiting until it's in a more complete state. On the other hand, there's a ton of writing and interactivity that will likely disappear once it reaches said complete state - there are a lot of references to things being unfinished and the vast majority of them are pretty funny.

Is anyone psychotic enough to play Tomenet with me? I'm both terrible solo and indecisive enough that I never know what I want to play. https://tomenet.eu/ Multiplayer, realtime version of Tome 2 (I think). Pretty good dungeon crawling experience, gets pretty intense. You can play a 1 life mode, or a few similar finite variants, or go "Everlasting" where death is merely a setback.

Heavily based on Tome 2, but very different in some key ways (other than the obvious ones). Way less races and classes, primarily. No RohanKnights or Thaumaturgy or anything. Infuriatingly, there isn't a subwindow for visible monsters which has gotten me killed at least twice. It's really neat, though, and was fun to gently caress around with with friends when the US was up (maybe it still is?).

I love how Dungeonmans gives you opportunities to showboat, while also being perfectly willing to shove your face in for trying to showboat. There's a scroll named "Xespera's Challenge" that instantly promotes all enemies within 5 spaces to champion (which levels them up, gives them significant stat boosts, and gives them enemy-specific special abilities, e.g. champion liches can drain your strength and champion skeleton archers can throw a whole mess of bones at you). In dungeons, you can find a portal to the Hall of Champions...which, appropriately, dumps you into a room with a bunch of champion enemies. If you survive, the exit portal will say "Ready to leave, champ?" Similarly, you can find portals to monster parties, which look like this: (that's me in the middle, with the purple shadow effect) It took a great force of will for me to not read Xespera's Challenge as my first action here. Good thing too; they would have pasted me fast; as it is I barely survived to turn the party into this:  The exit prompt for that one included "This party is dead anyway."

Does anyone know of any roguelikes where you control a party of adventurers, instead of a single character? Ideally one with real time combat, similar to Baldur's Gate or Infested Planet. I'm slowly plinking away on one of my own, and I'm curious how other games might approach it.
