hito posted:Gonna make a team with a team discord to just hang out and shoot the poo poo. Low pressure team because this tournament is right during the end of the release cycle for my job (and I'm hosting a friend from out of state this first weekend). Only requirement that you hang out in Discord while you're playing because this is a team about complaining. I'm almost done setting up a general Gooncrawl Discord because I was bored (in the process of turning tiles into emotes at the moment) if you just want to add a channel there.

taqueso posted:e: hmm, interesting corruption in the rPois listing of the dump  You had a bunch of tools available to survive even without curing teleportitis (Haste, read tele, wand of heal wounds, fan of gales, sack of spiders, etc.). Next time you end up somewhere bad, I would recommend stopping to think about your plan of action to survive (especially on Zot:5, where you should go hog wild on any stocked consumables since there is little else to do at that point).

FulsomFrank posted:As a melee ant man, how bad is the amulet of air's InAcc malus? Will this kill me? In the early-mid game, it will make things more difficult but not impossible with good tactics. Once you have your weapon to min-delay, the benefits will definitely outweigh the downsides. Definitely hold off if you are struggling to deal with black mamba or spriggans.

PleasingFungus posted:done. (you dodged it 2-3 times before it hit you, actually!) I guess I didn't notice because I was too busy making GBS threads my pants. There was no real base to my complaint there, so don't take it too seriously. I was just being salty for losing a Nemelex choice that late to a monster that specifically targets my species and that I've never seen actually appear in Depths before (as Internet Kraken pointed out, though, it was probably only appearing due to a rare vault anyway). I probably would have been just as salty to Mennas camping a set of stairs, to be honest. I was actually in Depths to get more experience to get Tornado online because I had enough defenses and the lightning spire and ice beasts were actually enough to chip away at hordes while I tanked it all. I do feel that the breath being both a heavy impact and AOE effect is a little harsh if they have a chance of appearing in 3 rune games for undead species.

Prism posted:I give up. Shoals is still the most awful Lair branch to get, even if you are 'good'. Some tricks: -A lot of Shoals enemies are weaker inland vs near the water, so drag them over to even footing -Don't be afraid to use consumables/god powers when you see something that you don't know if you can deal, like water nymphs or merfolk avatars -Leave Shoals:4 for later as long as possible, always. It is so much more dangerous than any other Lair branch ending by a mile -Always let enemies come to you, don't reveal more spaces moving to them (good advice for the rest of the game as well)

Carcer posted:I walked down some stairs, saw Nikola. Before I could react he chain lightning'd me for about 80 hp and then chain lightning'd me again for the remaining 50 before I could go back up, killing me. That's specifically Nikola; most other elec using enemies are high damage but pretty predictable in how much they can do in a turn. Never fight him without rElec or a potion of resistance. If you don't have either, you can risk it with summon butterflies/loads of summons or undead to try to mitigate the chain lightning bounces until you kill him (but you should only do this if he's blocking the only way you can go and you have no alternative routes left).

Fitzy Fitz posted:I'm guessing this is a fixedart! Nope, random! Here's a list of fixedarts, though I'm not sure if the wiki is fully up to date. Edit: Usually a good way to identify a fixedart is that it will have it's own unique description, and most of them also usually do something unique that can't be found on normal items. Likewise, all fixedarts are immediately identified upon sight (with the exception of the Robe of Misfortune, which looks like a normal robe and is a sick joke).

Shinino Kage posted:Yes, but if you're playing a race/class combo that is horrible with a certain weapon-type, it's horrible to not have at least basic weaponry scale up. Again, I'm not talking "Oh, I should have a super-arte great sword on D1 every game". I think you can find most mid tier weapons if you go to Orc, which is around Lair. Orc warriors, knights, and warlords have a lot of common mid tier weapon variety.

Shinino Kage posted:Orc is generally after Lair, tho, going by the 'order' thing in IRC of D1-10, Lair, D11-12, Orc, D13-14, S et al. The 'order' is a good guide, but it is created for standard luck under the assumption that the number one priority for you at that moment is to gain as much experience for as little risk as possible. It's important to recognize when to deviate from it due to something else taking priority. For example, if you're in Lair and still using a hand axe, maybe take a quick stop at Orc and burn some god powers/evocable/consumables to scrape up something better. Also, answering your suggestion earlier about starting weapon quality, the only backgrounds with improved starting weapons are Fi and Gl. This is because the other parts of their kit (shield/scale mail, throwing nets) are nowhere near good enough to make up for only having melee as an option, since Fi will usually ditch their shield for a two-handed and Gl can't just throw nets whenever due to the mulch rate. Without those upgraded weapons, there would be no reason to pick either over a Mo/Zealot/hybrid book backgrounds. Giving everyone these upgraded weapons would necessitate giving Fi/Gl an even higher tier, leading to a power creep. Floodkiller fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Dec 1, 2016 |

Captain Monkey posted:There are about a dozen ways to improve the Fi and Gl start that aren't 'give them the next damage tier weapon'. Care to throw out some examples? Maybe it can change and everyone can become consistent then! PleasingFungus posted:m&f weapons are much better for 'pure melee' characters, especially those not following gifting gods, since the great mace is by far the most common top-end melee weapon. Great maces are also severely underwhelming. I find Polearms offer a smoother upgrade transition than M&F thanks to the large amount of enemies that use them (bardiches are often the one "Don't Count On It" tier weapon that I can actually count on finding without a gifting god, at least by Vaults), along with reaching being very useful. Battleaxes are also dirt common and pretty comparable to great maces if you have a god who can help you take advantage of cleaving.

Mr. Prokosch posted:I'm thinking of running a troll of Jiyva because that sounds super fun. Should I start out with an earlier god? Any advice for gods that help early on but have pretty survivable punishments? I've heard Fedhas is good for this sort of thing, but I don't have good experience with it because I don't use Fedhas if I can help it. I would advise you to have a good plan to survive to Slime:5 if you are dead set on Jiyva, because that may be the sole altar that game. Alternatively, if you don't care about winrate or start scumming, keep trying faded altars until you get a Jiyva start (or find an early Jiyva altar/Slime temple).

My only Orc Jesus win was to just be buff enough to beat everything by myself and let my orcs spawn and die around me. Whenever I needed to escape, I used them as meatshields to buy me time to tele or climb the stairs. When some of them got lucky to get names, I gave them my bad randarts (and eventually, Firestarter). I tried recalling on the entrance while escaping with the Orb, but nobody came. I may not have been a very good Orc Jesus. E: code:Floodkiller fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Dec 9, 2016 |

Remove all Tolkien referenced player species. Get rid of humans, elves, dwarves, trolls, halflings, orcs, vampires, ogres (mentioned in a single line in The Hobbit), tengu (too close to eagles imo), vine stalkers (same thing with ents), demigods (kind of the Maiar), felids and octopodes (there are cats and octopodes I'm sure).
