Yep. Its just square LOS, removal of stuff for no reason, and a bunch of pain. Also some more under the hood changes. Did that webtiles fix end up in this version?

I don't hate myself anytime I try to play anyone with ranged weapons, so I think so.

First win of the tournament, and I really should have died at least twice.

I saw the Ghoul Assassin score being really low for what I knew the combo could do. I was not expecting to 15-rune, but hey, I'll take it.

EDIT: Between the time that I originally posted this and now I won another game :v:

Lasty is going to respond to this criticism of his Death Cobs by making their hunger attacks corrosive too

I got #83, with five wins (5-rune VSAK, 4-rune GrAE, 15-rune GhAs, 4-rune HaGl, and 3-rune OgCK). I'm pretty happy with that.

"Bunch of people complaining about stupid changes? Bet it's Lasty!"

I love how 95% of the time my assumption that Lasty is behind any change that actively makes things more annoying is correct.

EDIT: Like seriously, is anyone surprised that the dude behind the death cob buffs, caustic shrikes (remember them in their original form?), entropy weavers, and juggernauts has added other obnoxious poo poo?

I am pretty sure the number of times I get annoyed about a monster teleporting away is way, way higher than the number of times I'm thankful.

It was easily the most annoying part of playing Abyssal Knights with distortion weapons. I'm glad Lasty has opted to give EVERYONE the chance to experience it.

(pee pee doo doo he is a bad dev)

Tactics such as "gently caress you, melee".

Lasty really, REALLY hates melee characters, apparently.

Don't worry, they'll make it so swapping it out sets you to Fainting status.

And equipment swapping. And possibly fun in general.

No, based on most of his previous changes he loving HATES melee.

Things Lasty loving loves: monsters who do ridiculous melee damage, monsters inflicting hunger damage, corrosion. Idk what tactics a melee guy is supposed to use again malmutators without rMut.

Well, based on chat in IRC you should just learn to always train throwing, or just walk up the nearest stairs and wait.

And if you don't want to invest in throwing (or rods I guess), well, get hosed.

I sat down and played a DDNe of Pakellas (and died in a dumb way).

Good things about Trunk changes: Pakellas is really fun and cool.

Bad things: Somehow, entropy weavers are even MORE obnoxious than they were before, which is really impressive.

Ugly things: So I saw the amulet of harm and I assumed it was like, a replacement for the amulet of inaccuracy. At least harm pretends you might ever want to wear it, while you never want to wear inaccuracy. Okay, that's kind of interest--

Oh, it replaces the amulet of clarity. Of course. :psyduck:

:psyduck:

Can you guys just at least say "we don't like amulets and intend to replace them all with shittier ones"? I thought the amulet of reflection was at least kind of interesting, but apparently "amulets that give you immunity to poo poo" are overpowered and we'd much rather give people the chance of playing Zot:5 Roulette with permanent teleport traps.

I don't think we're looking at the same things here
