I fucking swear, I got a +2 dagger of prot and +4 ring od DEX, I need an advice but I feel like it's gonna be just annoying because I wanted to play a stealthy dith worshipper with cute merfolk tile and a dagger
>>135718329

why are you doing this
god damn worms
>>135718554
Get rid of it something more stable I presume? Only other rings I have access to are resist cold/fire, stealth or sus attributes
>>135717831
From the manual:
>t Throw something from the "Thrown" slot, or throw held explosives.
This is exactly how you do it:
1. Press "a" (to get a filtered list of usable stuff), or "i" (for full inventory)
2. Select Molotovs
3. Press "t"
4. Aim to where you want to throw
5. Press "t" again (or "enter")
6. Profit
>>135718719
Stealth is always good all the time. Use sustab as a swap when stat draining enemies show up.
>>135718561
Around worm, prepare to squirm.

>>135724408
If you can imagine anything bad about Cata you are probably correct.
>>135718256
>>135719817
I agree. DEX is for low winrate shitters. Only acceptable for stabbers, and sometimes acceptable for shitty low HP/low STR races
>>135726506
>anything caster ghost in crawl
pretty cool dying in 2 turns
I thought I was dead, because I had red poison and 13 HP left, and no way to heal other than an amulet of regeneration. But then I remembered that statue form 'pauses' poison damage since you have poison immunity in statue form, so I was able to cast it and put on my amulet of regen and get 50 HP back before the transformation ended. I can't believe I'm alive
>>135727647

>>135728000
ghosts are dumb, if they find a group of plants in your LOS (happens with lair ghosts all the time) they'll fireball themselves to death.
Basically it goes like this
!@
!--where the -s and !s are the plants. You're in LOS, but the ghost's retarded pathfinding AI cannot get through the plants to get to you. If he's got fireball, he'll kill himself in the blast trying to hit you through the plants.
It's as silly as it gets, yes. Had a GrFe do that on a MuMo. It was the coolest.
Who needs +3 Invocations anyways.
>>135728335
>this on MuMo
indeed the coolest
makes me feel even more like a scrub tho, I always run from ghost like it's grinder/sigmund on whatever their earliest possible floor to spawn is

>at that point again
What do you guys usually keep/drop in IA?
I mean, obviously explosives are crucial for the late game, and potions are too handy to get rid of, so it will have to be a weapon.
Leaning towards the spike gun or the sawn-off.
Not pictured are a Strange Device(1%) and a Gas Mask(1%).
This is happened last time I fought polyphemus, that fucking catoplaplotplaplus won't quit being the bumbling sidekick always throwing a wrench into the works despite his best efforts

>>135732092
What's good about a Spike Gun anyways?
>>135733839
oh yeah, and pic unrelated
>>135732092
yeah I'd say try to burn through your spike ammo then ditch the spike gun, and then start trying to work through some shotgun ammo. It's possible you'll have to drop the shotgun stuff before you finish using it all, depending on what you find soon.
>>135733969
spike gun can pin an enemy to a wall, preventing them from moving until they tear free, which damages them more. So decent damage (if you include the tear-to-free dmg) and good utility.

It's an obscure indie survival game that came out like 4 years ago.
Shitty pixel graphics, post-apocalyptic, with overworld and combat different. You lost your memory in and woke up in a lab or sth and your objective was to get to a city and do shit there.
There was also a club or sth where you could fight/ watch fights or get free sausages only those sausages were actually made from humans.

>>135734735
>>135735209
this is what you get for relying primarily on stealth skill to kill things
Assassin is not a stealth/stabber class, it's an otabber class that starts with a nice "oh shit" button in the form of curare.
Play Enchanter if you want to actually stab things.
>>135744416
nice job rwbarton
>>135744667
actually that's not him, that's he spectating on termcast one of the santa claus dopplegangers for the chrismas pcb challenge.
I think.
>>135744781
he keeps a telnet client in ~/games/poschengband4 ?
>>135744667
I got that image as a screenshot from a termcast. I don't think it was rwbarton but it could have been? I think it was elliptic but maybe not...I don't remember it clearly. But I'm not either of those people myself.

Someone should throw "Cropping: Very Bad" in there.
I can't tell what font that is though.
>>135745249
>Someone should throw "Cropping: Very Bad" in there
I did that once, can't find it anymore.
After some testing done, is there even a reason for a heavy armour character to raise DEX? If you pump STR and maximize armour and dodging skill (as in, like always) you only lose a bit of EV compared to going full DEX.
Now the thing is, is the damage increase from STR significant?
nobody knows because crawl is a badgame with incredibly obfuscated stat mechanics
>>135745470
We need a number crunch.

Str is for low score O-tabbers
Nothing strength can do will ever be the equivalent of wearing just dragon armor and casting tornado over and over.
And cerebov in 5 hits? that's 4 hits too many. why is he even awake? why does he even get to see you?
most of the time I pump him with sleep or paralysis needles and one-shot him with a sleep-stab, like I do to -literally every unique pandemonium and hell lord-

>>135744496
Assassin is a rogue that starts with one very powerful tool that lets it kill things way out of it's normal threat range, and makes it's life out of what it finds on the dungeon floor and in the hands of it's enemies.
they honestly start with some of the best attributes too, all you have to do is increase intelligence, or switch to Chei/Zin and increase strength.
The only backgrounds should be:
Rogue (starts with blowdarts and a random wand)
Fighter (starts with heavy armor and a primary weapon choice, including ranged options)
Berserker (self-explanatory)
Monk (UC and dodging)
Cleric (just let me pick my god at the start like it actually fucking improves the game to hunt for alters)
Wizard (starts with book of minor magic. you pick a secondary specialization that gives you your second book)
Literally everything else is unnecessary and only dilutes the game and shits on it's illusion of balance.
>>135750036
>you hear a shriek! You hear a shriek! You hear a shriek!
I'm gonna go in the basement now
I'm gonna sleep
and then everything will be good again
That actually worked, holy shit.
RIP Elo
>>135750321
transmuter tho
also what's the point of monk if you let people start with their choice of god anyways. just add UC option to fighter
also minor magic *plus* another book is OP as fuck
yes I would like to mephcloud literally everything in the dungeon while also having good higher-level spells
like seriously the only reason meph is balanced is because the starting books with it fall off really fast
imagine an AE with meph + lightning to kill anything and blink+swiftness to run away from anything

>>135750153
In what way were they fixed?
I don't recall having any issues with them.
>>135752537
they were briefly fucked up when cata switched to the magazine system and non-magazine-using weapons became impossible to shoot
What's the control for autopickup again? I hate having to always pick up useful items manually because autopickup settings are useless.
>>135752369
I enjoy the concept and the "Oh shit the cancerous fungals are spreading." aspect, but it absolutely ruins spawns. This would have been a perfect start, but its absolutely fucked due to double fungal.
>>135752537
They were broken for a while while they were hammering out the magazine system. Part of the reason why Snake used a crossbow is because bows were literally useless.
>>135753207
The game concept is good.
Whales' code isn't.
>>135751237
monks would be an EV fighter anon
also they'd have to put mephitic cloud in the poison book only, in which case your offensive conjurations would just be magic dart, sting, conjure flame, and venom bolt.
which sounds pretty good desu
>>135752891
this was a nice specific question, and I can definitely tell which roguelike you're talking about
there is no autopickup in dark souls
>>135752891
if this is pcb, it's underscore "_" to open and activate the autopicker script
>>135753401
DCSS obviously. In other roguelikes you actually have to think about items you pick up, not just spam tab and o.

you can't tell it to pick up amulets and not rings though, which is annoying if you've already somehow found the best possible combinations of rings and never need to look at anything that isn't an artefact anymore
there's no "only look at artefacts" option either

Actually only the grey "fungal bloom" is the awful spawn one. The other two fungal things are localized.
>>135755987
>the other two fungal things are localized.
spores reproduce and respawn outside out the reality bubble, anon. How else would they spawn from up to 100 maptiles from the source?
>tfw got both swamp and spider and have 0 (zero) poison resistance
At least I have two more scrolls of acquirement. Already used both times and got a 4 demon whip of poison and 9 great mace of crushing, yet my 11 draining mace is still kicking ass.
DsAK.
What should I do with the remainder?
I don't have a wand of haste, yet, either.
I wish I could boots, I wish I could
>>135758587
Armour, wand or jewelry probably. All pretty risky though.
>>135758587

>>135754679
you can do that with lua in the rcfile
marvinPA's rc file has some code to autopickup items aux armor if you're not currently wearing anything in the slot, or if it's branded and your current equipment isn't, or if it's a randart

HURT ME MORE DAWG
>>135764376
It wasn't my smartest move, yeah.
I got him down to an 1/8th of his health before running out of MP, I didn't expect to eat two hadoukens of his at that point.
>>135764148
the only way to fight gastro at that level is to cheese him with poison and stuff or stab him while he's asleep
the thing is, he's a slug, and there's no way he can catch up to you if you just walk away
>>135765224
Also, why is Magic Dart so terrible? Searing Ray did me alright, but it eats through MP quickly.
>>135765297
He hugged the Lair entrance. I should've just continued in D or pissed off right away after seeing him, but I'm really terrible at casters and got my ass kicked in D anyways.
>>135765686
magic dart is bad because it's a level 1 spell.
it has worse damage than some of the other level 1 spells but it never misses so it's better against evasive low-AC things like adders
try to get battlesphere online quickly, it's a good reliable source of damage
guys I am gonna be so fucking stealthy
I am almost literally just tabbing through this place even though I can't fight for shit
>>135766032
Battlesphere+Searing ray works pretty great until the damage falls off or the enemies get too plentiful
you can't bottleneck with battlesphere though
Conjurer has a lot of problems with hordes
>>135766032
I'll try out battlesphere, thanks. It was only at 54% fail, but I had charm at zero as well.
When I splatted, I had 3 random spellbooks, with nothing in it that seemed obviously great at that point; mainly because I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to casting and me being intimidated by the choices.
>>135766401
Is IMB a reliable option for Lair?
>>135766401
you can stand behind the battlesphere in corridors, your conjurations will go past it.
or you can stand just outside a corridor so the enemies still have to do single-file but your battlesphere and you are side by side
>>135766584
try playing deep elf to learn casters, try each caster background and figure out how to make them survive. if you learn each of the starting books, magic should start making a lot more sense (it's much more about tactics than it is raw power)
>>135766827
IMB is pretty mana-expensive compared to battlesphere + dart/ray.
If you need lots of damage NOW your best option is battlesphere + IMB but for general purposes you won't use it because it's less mana-efficient.
>>135766935
draconian conjurer is probably easier than DE desu, you'll be way less squishy and breath is an ok option when you're out of mana
>>135766827
it is and isn't, you'll run out of magic all the time.
Basically if I get mephitic cloud I go to orc, and if I get some ice magic or an elemental stave I go to lair. Once you get good at evocations and the attached element, a stave will let you fight mid-level enemies to save on magic, which is what a conjurer needs more than anything.
>>135722563
Being able to eat more for that morale boost?
>>135767152
yes, that's the point, playing Deep Elf will help you understand how to survive as a caster better than Draconian will.
>>135766935
I always fall back to MiFi/Gl after splatting 5 times as a caster, because it's just way easier, but the amount of options with spells really makes me want to git gud.
Thanks to y'all.
>>135767583
try assassin or javelin hunter instead of tabtards
play oghu, oneshot things with large rocks, get oneshot by hobgoblins
basically Og is the DE of hunters
you can do a shitload of damage with large ruk, but also you will have 0ac and bad ev for a long-ass time.

How come I never knew lightning magic was so based? Bouncing across walls for double hits is so cash
>>135772150
I dislike bolt of lightning because i recall it being really inaccurate, is it still so? On other hand tornado is good.
>>135772150
rip triplezap
>>135772841
yeah it's pretty inaccurate and its damage is really variable (1d131 at max power)
on the other hand you can bounce it off of walls to "doublezap" and hit enemies twice (rip triplezap), plus unlike other bolt spells its range isn't decreased when it pierces through an enemy so it's good for murdering groups in corridors.
lightning bolt makes a shitload of noise though so it really sucks on levels with only 1 entrance (e.g. lair:1). you'll end up fighting the entire level at the staircase.

Why?
>>135785037
I wanted a quickblade and I was getting upset at having to use arga
I also couldn't find an Ash altar, so I couldn't find the other lair branches
I figured I'd just go blast through orcs and elf, pick up some magic mapping, and then do all 3 lair runes in one swoop
I guess my main problem is that I hate melee characters now after having played so many Tm of Chei and other fun builds that make it better

It's clearly an image which was originally posted on /tg/.
>>135786924
that's not clear at all
>>135742504
It's not a roguelike and you should get outbut the game you're looking for is Neo Scavenger, the club you're thinking of is Zom Zom's and the city is the Detroit sprawl. It's a neat game. Oh, and the graphics are gritty but not pixel.
>>135787820
Put more points into perception next time then!
>>135788298
can you see the fabric of spacetime?
>>135787820
if it has warhammer and heresy it's always tg
>>135788702
Normally, but I usually wear some thick glasses to prevent that since it's really distracting.
Why are all the gods in crawl such boring shit? I've been contemplating which god to choose for like the past 6 hours and they're all so uninteresting.
>>135791715
Play oldcrawl, play nemlex. bask in the glory of using almost exclusively decks for every encounter.
>>135791715
>past 6 hours
You know a decent player could have ascended twice in the time you've taken to be a picky little bitch, right? Why don't you just play the game?
>>135789079
What a lightweight
>>135791908
Fuck you, I am playing the game. This is half the fun in crawl, agonizing over meaningless choices
>>135791905
Old nemelex gave trove cards right? Is he the gozag of oldcrawl?
>>135792203
Old Yugi gave all sorts of interesting cards. Expect a large variety of muts, explosions and unique panic buttons that no one else has.
>>135792203
Also he gave you piety for using cards.
Just using up a deck was enough to get you another deck gift.
You just have to go far enough back to actually get the good Nemelex. At some point they gave him a second hidden piety counter that totally bricks the deck gifting.
So what are you guys playing tonight? I'm taking a break from cata to hack my 3DS. Anything interesting happening in your playthroughs?
>>135795635
watching a poschengband termcast while I play some of this cute 7DRL a friend linked me to: http://herebedragons.watabou.ru/2015.html
I want to try to go to sleep soon, but my dog woke me up earlier to go out and now I'm not sure if I can get back into my snooze groove. If I end up feeling more and more awake I'll probably play some PCB, IA, or try getting the sweet Circus Animals branch of DCSS to work for me.
Pic unrelated.
>>135796936
Fixed that image for you, lad.
>>135795635
Repeatedly failing to get anything done in IA.
IN WHAT WAY IS THIS BULLSHIT NOT INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO AGGRAVATE ME
fuck this random map generator
seriously I hate it who the fuck is maintaining this thing whats with these fucking snakey pathways that go fucking nowhere and are almost completely fucking empty
then you fucking hide staircases there and altars behind staircases and
god it's just so fucking asinine
>>135795635
about tosplat on the orbrun
I have gone all the way through zot and seen a grand total of 0 OOFs, which is a bit weird.
>>135798885
Crawl's map generation is not great.
It's only enjoyable to explore because it is filled to the brim with vaults.
But hey, at least it's not as bad as Demon!
>>135799383
What are good examples of roguelike map generation, and why are they good?
>>135799463
Brogue consistently generates terrain which is tactically interesting without creating dead-ends which require significant backtracking and bottleneck stealth builds (too bad fungus and brimstone fucks those builds over anyway).
this is pretty unusual
nightstalker 3 at level 6
I'm gonna be in for a bad time if I don't find ashenzari soon
>>135799815
Yeah Brogue is pretty weird in that stealth is really not any good even though you're a rogue. If anything it's more of an indiana jones type feel.
I guess he's kinda roguish.
>>135799140

Gargoyles deserve nothing.
NOTHING.
>>135799463
unironically shiren the wanderer, it never wastes my time, it never fails to make me panic and have to react carefully
all the good parts of crawl are vaults and fortresses and stuff
>>135800537
Your only friends appear to be spiders and wretched abominations that shouldn't exist.
Perhaps it is commentary on our lives.
shit I should've read ?summoning too
>>135800915
I still haven't finished that optional dungeon with 100 floors on SNES because it's too hard, did you finish it ?
I don't use save state.
>>135800216
Did you splat your other dude?
>>135803848
she posted a screenshot with -1 hp but she probably got over it
>>135804094
Oh damn. I didn't see that. What a fault. Maximum overfault even.
the day they nerf this spell is the day that my dreams are truly dead
>>135804537
But they already nerfed it once atleast. It'll never stop being good.
>>135804265
absolutely, I had access to mephitic cloud and even thought of getting it, I don't know at all why I didn't take it
>>135804731
Hubris is the greatest killer. Always take meph.
if I didn't have perfect mutes for megazigg this would really bother me
wraps around the entire damn level
"prudence," right?
what a sense of humor this game has
oh I guess there is dual wielding in crawl after all
>>135808957
>Ghosts get to have fun while the living suffer 1H + buckler forever more
Why live?
Orc Jesus is pretty much my favorite combination in the game
I'm thinking of maybe changing some things in the clusterfuck of the source, any suggestions?
Here's something hideous I just thought of: Food clock on your followers.
