>>121938184
This is the adequate mindset. Congratulations.
>>121938116
Because it wasn't only my character that didn't see that, I was just walking around and I failed to notice an unique had moved next to me, frozen my character and taken away most of my hp in a single turn while there was previously nothing in the screen.

How do you guys distribute exp, set to auto or manual? (im new)
And why is it that i dont get the message to increase strength, intelligence or dexterity every time i level up instead its only between 3-5 levels?
>>121938475
manual, first weapon then defense. Read the pasta.
>>121938414
Well you should've used infusion instead of hitting the iceblock and disengaged and walked away.
Completely avoidable.
What you're saying is that your fault was a doubletap, which is understandable but is the stupidest fault.

I believe there was some way to configure your keyboard so it'd limit the amount of times you'd be able to type the same character in a short amount of time. It's not the first time that happens so I think I'll do that.

Gotta bait your hook a little better than that. I'm reluctant to try new things.
>>121939029
Actually I even thought about making one myself once, of cource I never did, but still. I can imagine how it would be synergized with traits and stats and all that, it shouldn't be potentially that hard to make, but I don't know many nuances in the code though.
Of cource this is one of such ideas that sounds cool, but then you fap and it starts sounding like shit.
>>121938608
That shit is the worst. Terrible tedium followed by a doubletap dywypi? cause you finally hit something serious. When getting about and all the popcorn is so damn boring it's agony to skitter around slowly.

>>121947183

Does not work in Crawl.
>>121947715
It's a joke, anon. Obviously.
What roguelike got cool crafting/alchemy stuff?
>>121947715
You press search, take a step, repeat for 5 steps every 17 steps. They ran the crunch on detection ranges and chances to get it.
>>121947965
Do you think this is a motherfucking game?
>>121948882
Trap searching is deterministic in Crawl. You either find a trap or you don't. I think that might change if you level up, but spending more time next to a trap won't help you reveal it.

No, but they did change the character sprites to look like absolute ass.
Also, are there any AI improvements? Stuff like demons actually walking away from the shit they have no business fighting, and no suicide pouncing/haunting.
>>121952436
There's now a setting for NPC spawn density. Turn it WAY down. Something like 0.05 should do it.

Outplayed.
How high would you recommend leveling throwing on a troll? Assuming trog or oka for ammo. I had like 14 unarmed, 10 throwing, 10 fighting, 6 dodge/armor and 4 stealth last one I played, seemed to go pretty well.
Also is armor even useful to level when you only have a robe, cape, and a hat?
Won't be long now.

>>121963950
A mirror or reflection, telepathy, and a blindfold.
Most other things on the level shouldn't be hard, except for the Titan version and the Angelic monster that spawns sometimes.
>>121964460
>level 13
>dreadfell
YOU ARE GOING TO DIE
>>121963950
Reflection or a way to blind yourself to not die to Medusa.
A way to cross water (there's a bunch) or dig to get through the level. I guess you technically don't need the first if you plan to dig and remember not to go upstairs.
An instrument is handy for the castle but you don't need it.
>>121964460
Dig in a random direction.
>>121963818
I'll comfort myself by playing the supidly OP gargoyle we have now.
>>121965216
He looks pretty sturdy, and there's usually enough shit in dreadfell to gain a few levels. He definitely should go back and complete a few more dungeons before attempting the master though.
>>121963818
don't forget permaflight
>>121967924
>He looks pretty sturdy
He can get killed in one shot by an armored skeleton warrior.
>>121968112
This, or any of the Dreadfell uniques.
>>121965216
I made it to level 9, but I got wrecked by a rare ghast having 30+ damage diseases and a rare wight using Call of Amakthel to pull me off the stairs.
I've actually managed to kill the master with a level 17 reaver before, so it's not too hard if you play right and get good gear.
>>121968112
They really weren't that dangerous. I could two-shot them pretty easily, since I found two nice stralite one-handers. I pretty much bulldozed through all of the ones I encountered.
>>121968380
I managed to beat Borfast, but I had to skip Filio because he had too much defense.
>>121968112
>>121968380
What difficulty setting is it? I'm pretty sure nothing in dreadfell is strong enough to do over 400 damage in a single turn to that character, not even the Master.
At what point will a Staff of Earth become better than a +8 Quarterstaff of Antimagic
>>121968590
Just because you can kill something in two hits doesn't mean it can't kill you in one hit.
>>121970018
I forgot to mention, but they didn't do that much damage. I don't remember getting hit by them, but I was only playing on normal difficulty so I doubt they would have done anything upwards of 150 before taking things like armor into account. I also had a shield rune and bone shield, which makes it pretty hard to die to burst damage.
>>121968904
depends on character and your plans
For what purpose?
I-is this what it feels like to be comfy?all this MR+ gear I'm not finding will be the death of me, I just know it.
VS are really strong. Even without the hat, this character was a defensive dynamo. First time I've ever grabbed 3 runes, skipped vaults, gone straight to depths, gone straight to zot and did the orb run.
>>121971293
MR++ should be enough except shoals.
>>121971856
No Shoals, just Spider and Swamp. MR++ is enough to avoid most Paralyze casts? That's pretty much all I'm worried about.
>>121972148
With MR++, it should be a really low % of happening. 15% tops. You just have to make sure you're positioned well to avoid happy accidents when you're fighting enemies with paralyze.

In DDA is there a way to get NPC's to use stairs and follow you through them?
>>121938184
Don't worry anon, you're not the only Tome4 player here.
I have been trying to play Insane Roguelike, but I keep getting my ass handed to me. Nightmare isn't too bad, but I have no idea how people do Insane or Madness.
It seems like you really need to abuse as much scummy shit as you can to get anywhere on the higher difficulties: drowning town NPC rares for early drops and XP, jumping in the lumberjack camp as soon as you can for drops and XP, playing the most broken character builds that exist, etc.
Tome4 is one of those games that I just *want* to like despite its flaws -- but it really feels fundamentally unfair on higher difficulties, and not in a good way, more in a RNG horseshit way.
>>121974171
It literally says Insane and higher is unfair, the fuck are you on?
I've decided another change should be made to the team's (/vg/ league) music selection.
As great as the Elona Login music is, its just too repetitive to be an anthem. They only play the anthems for about 45 seconds, and that isnt enough for the Elona music to "get" anywhere.
So I'd suggestions on a new anthem.
Here's our current one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYlHl_1niWw
>>121974742
Other important info:
We are already signed up for /vg/ League 5, which begins in December! Get hype!
Aesthetic and Tactical deadline is on the 25th, which I and some 4CC pals of mine are working on.
There are friendlies on the 28th, but we are not participating. Although, afterwards they will have thew draw to determine which group we are in and who we are playing.
For some roster members I'm not necessarily the best at explaining them, so I'd like the general to work on them for me (Sorry I'm a DCSS babby).

>>121971296
Gratz
you can say that again
>>121972148
you're gonna run into dozens of enemies throughout a game of DCSS that know paralyze, if you you only have MR++, statistically you're very likely to get paralyzed a few times
>>121975080
RIP
What was your build?
>>121976529
Dozens might be a bit of an exaggeration unless he is doing a 15 rune run. He'll for sure fight a good number of orc sorcerors, and maybe a few each of vampire knights, sphinxes and orb eyes in depths. After those, paralyze is mostly randomized and can largely be ignored. He can mitigate much of the danger by positioning himself well.
Finally got a win for the tournament.
Death Cobs are fucking unbelievable now. Unless you're top evade they fuck you up so bad. I had to leave Zot to buy food at one point.
>>121977794
I'm so sad they buffed death cobs. They were probably my favorite joke monster, barely beating out toenail golems.
>>121977794
New death cobs are fucking awful. I find a minivault that had 5 fucking cobs all sleeping. I went from gorged to starving fighting 3 of them. Thank god for stealth.
>>121978295
Hold up you're saying you fought 3 death cobs simultaneously and lived to tell teh tale?
>>121978745
I was purposefully gorging myself so that I wouldn't die to such a thing. But it was more like I killed 1 while the others were wandering, and than fought 2 as I was putting some distance between where I fought the first and the initial spot where they were sleeping. I didn't have time to eat more between any of the fighting though. 3 would have been something else.
>>121977794
Congrats man
I magic mapped the previous floor and this is the only reachable stairway to this level.
I'm too much of a badplayer to handle this.
RIP
>>121978295
Since I had 12 EV I went to starving multiple times every encounter. After the first time I nearly died I started using Sack of Spiders and Rod of the Swarm on sight.
I think they'd be a lot more manageable with a higher EV.
>>121979114
What the fuck?
>>121979114
Post your save?
That's total bullshit.
99.99% of characters probably couldn't get through that without a random teleport landing them deeper in the level.
>>121979223
Oh definitely. I find that even with great EV, you'll still drop from atleast gorged to full~hungry. I hope they tone them down a little, they turn so many situations into panic teleports.

How do you play a GrEE? Last time I tried playing it some 100+ characters ago, I couldn't survive further than D:3. This one seems to be doing pretty well though.
I figured I'd make him a melee fighter with some ranged magic as a backup, so I have 10 in Earth, 7 in M&F and 4 in Spellcasting and Fighting so far. Strength is a bit low though and I wonder if I'll be able to keep it up. What should I focus on? M&F to min delay? I can cast LRD with 14% failure even with buckler on. What armor should I aim for?
And the last question, which god would be good for a melee fighting GrEE? I cleared D:6, still no Temple, the only altars I found so far were Sif Muna, Dithmenos and Fedhas.

Dude come on. You have a robe and free AC at D1, you don't need anything more.
>>121987923
Pile into conj double earth mostly. Stones sandblast hard shit and a lot of pillar dancing early on getting earth to 5 or 6 or so so it's worth a damn. Get starrow castable then get it to max spellpower learning petrify, leaning on earth magic to haul its spellpower, and LRD on the way. Starrow spam and either straight up running first or petrifyrunning lets you manage groups and escape if you bottom out your MP on starrow spam. While inadvisable, you can zap some weakling in the lead of a group with petrify then LRD off that though it brings everything near. Especially if you didn't kite it back a screen or so into explored map first. From then it's all god choice and drops. If you don't plan on going for shatter and an extended game you can main conjurations and you canpoorlyuse most spellbooks you find with L5/6 spells until you get iron shot/LCS. Nearly any god works, just know what it does and how you can utilize that with what you have to make you you sufficiently kill the dudes. Just don't spread xp too thin and you'll be okay. EE is a pretty flexible and strong background.
>>121988035
Give him a break. Sandblast has terribad accuracy and armor shits all over it before you get on the horse.

Unless you're playing an older version, it straight up tells you it has a distortion weapon.

>>121992470
Sonja and Terrence also tend to spawn with distortion weapons.
Speaking from experience.
>>121993048
Yup, just take your time honestly, even the weakest monsters can have some randarts or pretty good enchanted weapons and wreck your shit easy
One time it will be a kobold with a distortion dagger
Another time it will be a short sword hobgoblin
Some other time it will be ilyb with a +7 club..
Shit happens
Merlfok into polearms should i pump my stats in dex or str?
>>121993224
Yeah, sonja spawns with a dist weapon in like 90% of the cases
Terrance doesnt spawn often with it in my experience, it was usually just a protection or holy wrath weapon he had
>>121993348

>>121993224
Not often but it's more that he pretty much always gets a branded flail and you're bound to get one eventually. Especially if you're dying and seeing him again a lot.

I don't have any immolation (I readID'd the only one I found ages ago), but I do have a Lamp of Fire, a Disc of Storms, a Fan of Gales, and a Sack of Spiders
I also have several offensive wands; of fire, lightning, cold, and disintegration. But I'm not sure how much use those would be.

>adders can lethally poison in .17
I still don't like this meme.
>>121995463
what do you mean? they can apply "strong poison" such as the one redbacks apply such that rPois only reduces it to a weaker poison instead of completely nullify it?
>>121995463
That just means you should soften them up before engaging in melee with them. Surely you can find something to throw at them.
>>121995463
Don't be so shit that you can't kill one
Don't make so much noise
Pay attention to shit that shouts
Stop ignoring creaking doors
Close doors
Don't wait until you are about to or already are lethally poisoned to start using consumables if you don't think you can take it
Or if you're such a baddy, maybe try not picking a combo you're clearly unprepared for.
>>121995625
No, the poison stacks so if you get hit a bunch of times by an adder it can stack up to being lethally poisoned.
>>121995714
does lethal poison refer to orange/red poison bar that ticks faster than yellow poison and gives you less time to regen?
>>121995803
It means they stacked enough poison damage on your ass that you are literally already dead without healing or curing.
>>121995867
but adders always had that ability
Ohayo /rlg didn't play for some time is summoning still dead?
>>121996053
Sort of. It's been refashioned into a no-brainer supplement for all the other schools with new summoning spells

Of course.
Allies are intrinsically scummy and spoilery.
Alright, at first I thought it was confirmation bhias but it looks like it isn't. Anyone else noticing a drastically lower rate of recovering additional seeds. I'm fucking sorry but it's not the end of the world if some faggot makes a carpet of strawberries and blueberries from here to timbuktu. I am compeltely baffled at how I'm supposed to expand my sugar beet crop in any significant way because you can't make seeds from the harvests like you would realistically or with half of the existing plants you can use in dda. Farmer start is essentially junk now cause you can't reasonably expect decent expansion of your seedstock by year two thus you're diverted back into the usual farming meta and that means you'll be making a hoe from your workshop charcoal forge regardless. Friggen breaking my balls man. Fucking tryhards in dda poisoning everything and not even accomplishing their goal.
I have a book of Tempests from the orc shop too. If I don't get at least two runes, I'm going to end myself.
>inb4 it gets too easy and I die from carelessness on Shoals:4 AGAIN
>>121995939
No they didn't, they'd poison you longer, but not lethally poison. have you even played anything before 0.16?
>>121997806
i've played since .13 and i see no practical difference between poison you longer and poison you lethally
>>121997885
rate of regeneration. lethally poisoned means my character is dead unless I have curing or cure wounds. If I'm poisoned longer, I can typically survive unless I blunder into more enemies. so you basically have to start over because you got an unlucky d:2 in the newer versions, which forces startscumming, which is bad design :^)
>>121997885
I think he means before they buffed adders in either 0.15 or 0.16.
They used to be on the same tier as a hobgoblin
>>121998071
>beating them with their own badwrongfunspeak
That's the spirit.
>>121998071
The poison rework is al ittle further down, also by dracoomega. Searching on adder is the easiest though.

Some adjustments to poison damage formulas
This is aimed at addressing a couple places where current poison
damage appears off (based largely on statistical data, augmented
by playtesting).
The scaling for AF_POISON is adjusted to make adders a bit less
dangerous while making some later things a bit more dangerous.
AF_POISON_STRONG in particular is boosted (redbacks seem to have
fared much worse since the change - probably getting lethal poisoning
during normal battles with them was not altogether uncommon in the
old system, but simply masked by a less clear indicator and copious
!curing). Poison needles are nudged up slightly, poison clouds
a decent bit more, and the variance for venom ammo smoothed a little.
>>121998483
Adders were no buffed, poison was changed to be deterministic and much faster in terms of applying and stacking, which resulted in adders getting collaterally stronger. This is bad because rng evades and hits make up most of the early fights against adders, as by then the player still has few actual options he can use.
Ants are a much better example of a better made poisonous monster that shows up early and is fast, because they don't show up early enough that they can consistently constitute a danger of unfair deaths.

it's not like anyone gives a shit about money in *band variants, given how easy it is to rake in dosh. You'll find that stolen items will never disappear, though.
>>122000861
You care a lot about money in PCB because of reforges that tend to be very expensive. Plus the more money you have the more gets stolen.
>>122000930
>You care a lot about money in PCB because of reforges that tend to be very expensive
If you have enough money to waste on 3.5 reforging then you're better off gambling potions for stat pots
once you get your dex high enough nothing is going to be able to steal anything
But seriously newreforge sucks major balls and it's useless

Ice form is good in lair since it slows all the dangerous monsters.

Ice form will let you at least stand a chance against hydras since it doesn't chop heads off, but you'd probably want some fighting and dodging before attempting.
