Old thread: >>140383946
Down with wins in the OP
the OP should be about anything else but that
Just trying out Elona+
What are the must have starting feats? Some of these sound like newbie traps.
>>140568840
>>140643670
hey guys I'm back if anyone want to help a newb to escape with the Rune of Zot or if anyone just wants to watch me die. I'm in the berotato server my name is doroboNeko.
>>140647714
Avoid stat boosts (maybe the life and mana ones if you're extremely deficient in one (i.e. Golems & mana)).
Uncontrollable power doubles damage you give and take, confuses you for a few turns, is amazing.
Natural Leader gives you Cheer which gives your pets Speed and Hero, it's amazing.
>>140649615
You mean orb run? It's easiest part of the game.
No fast reader trait and sub-14 intelligence is suffering
>>140653265
No. I mean beat the game. I'm at snake currently. I'm tired of this goddam snakes in this goddamn branch.
>>140653957
It could be worse.
You could be in shoals.It didn't give you shoals, did it?
>>140650142
So I just take Feats that give me skills? What about luck or things that give me non-stat related passives, like the tax related ones?
Yet another demon win. Tried to streak another win after this one, but splatted stupidly to Reprobus. Oh well.
>>140654573It did give me Shoals
>>140654609
In general yeah, move feats are worth more because they give you stuff you can't get any other way.
Luck is never worth it, you need massive amounts to see differences and that's what Lucky Day's are for.
Tax probably isn't worth it, it's inconsequential for the most part and can be reduced by kitty banking your money before tax day. Quartermaster might be interesting, though I've never tried it.
Other nice move feats are Drain Blood, mainly because it GIVES you stamina with use so you can use more special moves, and it can be used on allies for this reason and they won't get mad at you (if they really like you).
Touch of Sleep might be good for pickpocketing.
Exorcist prevents random events from cursing your shit but from what I've heard it might not be worth it.
>>140654963
Welp
>>140655380
>>140654609
Poison Touch is nice for insta-gibbing bells and other super fast lightweights.
>>140656926
You can just throw potions at bells.
>reposting from last thread to catch anyone who missed it attention
Where the fuck are the PosChengband tilesets? I'm searching all over Google and nothing is coming up. When I try to enable tiles it gives me the "You may not do that right now" and tells me it can't execute the files because they don't even exist in the first place. I'm just sick of staring at numbers and letters.
HELP
>>140659131
No dude.
You don't use the poschengband tileset.
Okay? You just don't.
There's a reason the maintainer removed them from the latest version.
They literally don't work. Haven't for ages, there are tons of monsters without a tile, and the ones that have tiles- you don't want to see them.
PCB tiles are worse than ToME4 tiles, and I don't say that type of thing lightly.
>>140659458
>PCB tiles are worse than ToME4 tiles, and I don't say that type of thing lightly.
Well I didn't know they were THAT bad. I guess the game is fun enough to where I can enjoy it without tiles.
>>140659648
You'll get used to it.
Poschengband was the first game I started enjoying in ASCII (unless you count Brogue), and now I play everything in ASCII as long as such an option exists.
So in Elona+, if I didn't take a ranged based class, is it still worth it to try and use bows and guns? Or am I stuck with throwing rocks?
>>140654760
grats
i wish that game weren't a pokemon trainer, i would certainly try it
>>140661071
That's like saying if pokemon weren't pokemon, you would try it.
>>140660612
Probably you should have something for ranged, whether magic or a weapon.
Definitely you should put something in that slot for free resists even if you don't use the weapon.
>>140661071
what's wrong with pokemon
and demon is one of the most tactical roguelikes i've ever played, it's not even near finished
>>140661815
well i dont like being a team manager
>>140662117
it's pretty much like inventory or equipment management, just flavored differently
swapping out a demon is like swapping out a resist/weapon/whatever
>>140646794
>No SotS the Pit pasta
ONE FUCKING JOB
>>140664092
Make one yourself.
Posted on a previous thread. I have a question. Whenever i start DCSS it only shows the top left quarter of the game. its like the resolution is wrong or something. whenever i exit and hover my mouse over the tab itll show the whole thing. its just whenever i click on it it'll zoom in to the top left quarter.
Anyone know how to fix this? ive looked on google and forums but havent found anything yet.
>>140665972
does it work properly if you turn off full-screen mode?
>>140664092
But that game is bad.
Oh dear /rlg/...
Dear /rlg/, serial ascender of the dungeon.
Rise if you would. For that is our curse.
Good kitty.
Is the DCSS server laggy or is it me?
>Elona+ crashes every time I get near Yowyn or whatever
Is this normal?
>>140674605
Chosen /rouge/s. I like it.
Now play more Incursion.
>>140676540
there are multiple dcss servers you dirty minotaur
you have to specify which one
>>140679809
CSZO
>>140680917
:^)
>>140678579
No.
Unless they changed shit.
Though from a gameplay standpoint that seems like a shitty change.
Which version do you have?
Is there any reason to pick a non-Spriggan race for an Enchanter, other than to add challenge? It seems like it's just "The Spriggan Class"
what fucking retard came up with a zombie that launches infinite automated flying grenades
>>140682393
For fun?
Who am I kidding, it's Crawl after all.
VS is pretty fun for any background though.
What's a good one for begginers? I'm autistic enough to play an ascii only game.
>>140683928
In the what to play pasta there is a list of good beginner roguelikes and a short description, choose whichever one looks appealing to you.

DCSS
Fucking bullshit volcano.
Also, Vehumet will gift me a guaranteed Shatter since I'm an Earth Mage, right?
I already have the Book of Annihilations.
This might be fun.
>>140685014
>guaranteed
You wish.
>>140685014
How to cheese every volcano
1. Read magic map
2. Dig straight to the path with a wand of digging or other means, avoiding ALL fire and lava. Teleporting until you're close to the vault works too.
Just be sure to train conjurations, he might gift you LCS.
>>140685243
>he might gift you LCS
I already have the Book of Annihilations.
I just want shatter for the greatest V:$splosion of all time.
Ahahaha!
Vehumet can fucking suck it.
At least she gives me mana and increased range.
>>140686295
>xe
I can't believe how fucking dead we are when people aren't playing dcss or shitposting.
Do we seriously not do anything else? I mean I know there's at least two guys playing dynahack but holy shit it's either that or dcss galore forever.
>>140686561
I often post Sil and *hacks too.
I'm just playing DCSS again since it's been a while.
Why don't you post about what you're playing instead of metaposting?
>decide to start a playtrough on ASCII in cataclysm
OH GOD EVERYTHING IS Z's
I mean holy fuck someone play adom and DDA and Ivan and nethack and elona and Qud and sil and frozen depths and PCB and ALL THE GAMES IN THE PASTA
There's been at least a single win for dcss in every fucking thread for the past four years
It's time to stop
This needs to stop
This is literally our last chance
We are dying because people are burnt out of crawl and we end up relying on new guys to bump the thread
Look at you
Be the change this thread needs
Play something else holy fuck

Hey buddy, fuck you. Everytime I play, I post about it so that other anons can get in on the action. Why can't you play? Why don't you post about it?
I mean I'm looking at the /lite/ general okay
And I'm fucking appalled
They're having civil discussions about their favorite games and they're playing ALL OF THEM.
They burn about one thread every two days. They don't even touch page 9.
A d that's because they have fucking roguelite biodiversity
They don't talk about fucking enter the dungeon all fucking day long
>>140687053
Good goy
>>140686884
I'm playing Elona but I can't exactly post shit about it regularly.
Unless you guys enjoy waifu updates for some godawful reason.
>>140687095
Because I'm making this rant on a phone, anon.
I've been splatting dyna convicts for the last three weeks, get off my goddamn back.
>>140687320
Oh. I'm sorry anon, I didn't know. You do good work and I eagerly await your ascension. I really do all I can for us when I play though. Someone else needs to post like us.
>>140687307
Well I'm not forcing you to post just throwing out that every post is a good one
At the same time I don't hate the dcss posting (since there's gonna be a lot o
More during the tournament too) I just want people to post different shit. If you keep posting one kind of roguelike, people will play that. You try a new one,you get the PCB effect, where we played like crazy for months.
I've just realized nobody won IA 1.8
Alright, fuck.
I won't post about Crawl again.
Happy now?
>>140687436
I've reached a perfect way to handle the challenge. Basically grab 0 AC in the mines, then dive down. Eventually I'll find an elf and grab his pall and shield for -3 AC, which is good enough to handle the guards. Then I have to kill my quest nemesis with -3 AC, but apparently it doesn't resist sleep so a wand should dispatch her while I bash ber with my huge balls. The last step after that is to grab a ring of slow digestion, because the guard trick bleeds nutrition without it, so I have to go to sokoban and hope for the best. Once I get the guards rolling I can get to level 30 with potions of gain level and put all the loot inside my blessed bag of holding I got in the mines.
I found out a way to enforce spell-less too! I just sit on an antimagic trap until I have 0 mana. I only memorize the first spellbook I find so I can confuse myself to fooproof armor anyway.
>>140687989
That is bot what I said
Gosh
I can't and I don't want to stop the crawl posting
It's a good game at times
I just want some roguelike humus for new players to frolick in and grow their tiny hjklun arms and that's only reached through biodiversity
Play what you want
>>140686561
I would continue my playthrough of UrW shaman mod butDominions 4 and running and being healthyhas sucked up all my free time
>>140687307I like waifu updates
>>140689049
Oh shit I haven't seen incursion in a long while. Have you tried the new races rmtew unlocked? Like the drow and the whatever the other ones were?
>>140689147
Yeah, they're pretty legit. Didn't know the Drow weren't always accessible, but you can play with subraces. Dragonkin Lizardfolk and Grey Elves are probably the strongest races in the game now.
Sidenote: I hate when neutrals steal my crossbow bolts.
>>140686561
i'm the same as this >>140686704 anon. My "main" roguelike is poschengband but i've been giving dynahack, cata, and DCSS a go. DCSS is sucking me in quite alot more than i expected. speaking of, is a paladin style warrior of the shining one a good idea or am i gonna splat terribly?
>>140689574
There's a reason they removed TSO from the backgrounds. You get piety by killing demons and undead, which are mostly present in the endgame. The only good thing about tissot is the +hit aura at the very start.
>>140689365
Is someone actively developing Incursion again?
>>140690208
Pretty sure the development stopped around november 2015, anon. Rmtew is only human after all.
Fuck you ponyposter, I'll post about Crawl if I want.
What the fuck did they do with my beautiful piety caves?
This is the fucking entrance.
I already killed a Knight and Nergalle who were also camping it.
>>140690208
Not really. Julian has abandoned it, and rmtew has done some minor bugfixing, but that was back in January.
It's open-source now, so you can fork it, but it has that whole 90s C++ thing going on, and ain't nobody got time for that.
>>140690413
>Fuck you ponyposter
Unf
>I'll post about Crawl if I want
Nobody's actually stopping you, I'm just saying that other games are good too
Now let's get back to the part where you said you wanted to fuck me
Are you at least gonna take me somewhere nice before
>>140690420
>and ain't nobody got time for that.
We clearly need some motivated NEETs.
>>140690932
Incursion is an unfinished demo that was gonna be the greatest roguelike of all time, with an overworld, random dungeon generation and an economy system. Kind of like ultima ratio regum meets ADOM.
The dev wasn't autisic enough to toady it up and the game never really caught the attention DF got, so what we have is an unfinished 10-level demo of what was gonna be a way bigger game.
It's not a bad game and it's really fun on its own, but it's not necessarily what you'd call a project you would want to pursue.
Best case scenario (getting rid of all the bugs, importing the code base to github, etc etc) the game would be a bugless demo.
A really damn good one but still. A 10 level demo. And let me tell you they don't have the manpower to actually fix one fourth of the bugs of the game. If you start the game in nightmare mode and go down to level 7 or something, you'll take five minutes to take five steps for the sheer amount of spellcasters casting spells out of your LOS. Then the game will crash.
Incursion is a good game to play and win st least once to get a feel of the bigger picture. A "what if".
Also to eat all the tomes.
>>140690932
More like paid NEETS. Incursion can only be built on Windows and inside of Microshit's Visual Studio, and only money would make me want to touch that.
Plus, the system is super robust, but was developed more or less exclusively by one dude, so its just strange. In fact, most of what you see in-game isn't even in the main code, but is made in IncursionScript, which Julian made specifically for the game.
>carrying the Broken TV to get the robot
>get a "fire bullets on item activation" item
>get a "bullets fire from enemies on hit" item
>get scattershot bullets
>throwing the TV spawns infinite bullets in all directions, spawning more bullets that spawn more bullets
>accidentally throw the TV into a pit right before the boss
Why fucking bother
>>140691557
>>140691270
And to expand on what >>140691250 said, Incursion was made basically for solo DnD play. It's based on the d20 ruleset, is extensively written in regards to how things work, and gives the player pretty huge amounts of customization without fucking up the base, like some shittyzombie-relatedgames.
If you're interested, you should read the white paper Julian wrote about the game, where he explains how and why he wrote it.
I do agree, though, it would be easier to write another game from scratch than to update Incursion. Julian and Toady both rode the high of Strange Moods into some crazy shit, and it would be hard fuck with their work so late in the game.
>>140691250
>>140691270
Sounds like someone should just blatantly copy everything in a better environment and more debugging since it's open source when they're making a totally new roguelike and then build on that.
>>140691270
>In fact, most of what you see in-game isn't even in the main code, but is made in IncursionScript, which Julian made specifically for the game.
what the fuck
>>140692000
Yep. If you check the source, src/ just contains all the architecture, which puts the pieces together. Most of the actual building blocks are defined in the lib/ folder. Here is subraces.irh, specifically where he defines the Grey Elf subrace.
It's actually within reason to re-flavor Incursion as any other genre, since everything is defined the way it is.
>>140691803
I've been wanting to make another d20 roguelike for a long-ass time, but I'm not sure whether there would be interest since nobody plays Incursion.
Climbing up slowly.

So, if kicking trains dexterity, should I just kick every door in nethack if I know there will be no repercussions?
And does every door count? even the ones you can close and open without problems?
>>140696653
If you want adom's source code, biskup is selling it a hardcover version for 50 K.
I fucking hate biskup, jesus christ.
>>140697507
Kicking doors eventually (like after the third kick usually) destroys them. The best way to train dex is to play a harp or a flute for 600 turns, since you can hurt yourself when kicking a door or a sink.
>>140697507
Doesn't abusing this lead to straining the stat instead?
>>140697597
>50 thosand
wow
>>140697597
Right, well I always break them with the first or second kick, so it doesn't seem that I'll be getting more dex that way.
Also, my pet just got teleported, if I can't find it should I just leave it?
>>140697807
>Doesn't abusing this lead to straining the stat instead?
nope. Kicking a sink and getting "the pipes vibrate noisily" trains dex. There's a 2/3 chance for that to happen.
Hurting yourself while kicking the sink (Ouch, that hurts!) with a chance of getting lame, abuses dex AND strength.
You're better off playing a harp, seriously.
>>140697860
>Also, my pet just got teleported, if I can't find it should I just leave it?
depends on your class. If you're a dwarven valkyrie you don't need it. Just remmeber to drop shit on an altar before putting it on, to identify it.

Another question, if my pet picks up items in the shop is that considered stealing? I didn't tell him to pick things up, but he just did.
Also why is the shopkeeper making me pay for the corpses of the mimics I killed.
Ultimate parry.
>>140697507
I don't know for sure, but make sure to leave a few rooms closed with doors, if you have a key they are a great place to rest.
It's probably not worth kicking every single door.
>>140698317
>if my pet picks up items in the shop is that considered stealing?
Nah. It's called the pet discount. it's annoying but doable.
>>140698317
>Also why is the shopkeeper making me pay for the corpses of the mimics I killed.
Well anything that is dropped in his shop is his.
Don't drop your shit in there.
>It invokes a storm of raw magic.
>The attack hits shadow, you are unharmed!
Ninjas are amazing.
Finally!
Who would have thought, attacking light blinds you.

Well first you train the skill so you can actually hit things with them.
Then you hit things with them and there's a chance they will die in one hit.
That's it.

You poke the babble with one repeatedly and hope it dies while it spams psycho-spear at you.

Uhm... I'm kinda new to the *hack series, but don't they follow dnd's "18 is the maximum you can get on a stat" thing?Either way, found an awesome coat, woooo
Not sure where to head next...
>>140702613
It hasn't bee so in DnD either. Depends on edition.
In character generation, yeah, 18 (+4) is the max, but you can go further with magical items and ability score gains ( every x level ).
In 5th edition the absolute stat cap is 25, with 20 being 'natural' max.
>>140702780
Go dive Angband
>>140702613
They do. In fact that best you can get naturally is 18/**, like in old AD&D. Putting on a "x of power" (usually guantlets, but dyna adds random magical proprieties) gives you 25 strength, which is the same as 18/** in everything, except it also makes you able of throwing mjollnir.
Take off your second ring of free action, every ring and amulet makes you go hunger faster

>>140702780
>>140702939
Huh, so 25 is the cap... I guess the other power item I just found is useless then...
Also, first time hearing about the rings/amulets taking away your hunger, thanks for that
Wonder what that is, and why is it in purple. Game seems to like me.

>>140703271
>taking away your hunger, thanks for that
no no

That yellow is tearing at my eyes.
>>140706337
I am tempted. How does tonberry vampire even work?
>>140706337
Does Dio even Za Warudo in PCB?
>>140706408
You can't even solve that. Yo'd have to push the boulder, SE twice , then circumvent it, then push the other boulder but it'd only get stuck and you'd have to squeeze.
That's bullshit.
>>140707020
It doesn't.
You won't be a tonberry anymore.
>>140707048
Anon I don't need to solve shit, there's literally no walls
I was being sarcastic
>>140707023
>Does Dio even Za Warudo in PCB?
yep.
>How does tonberry vampire even work?
Shitty. Vampires are pretty bad compared to tonberries.
>>140707116
>there's literally no walls
I thougth those blue .s were iron bars.
That's stupid.
>>140707023
Yes. Actually dropped my hp from 850 to 320 or so.
Okay. This is enough for today.
Breaking new ground with a wizard. FINALLY. Got finger of death book in minetown on my way back up and killed fucking everyone with my acid dragon pal. Did the quest, mine's end, and sokoban and finally got some holy water and thus a blessed bag/touchstone/luckstone. Now I have 1b gold and a shitload of gems. Things are looking good.
>>140707023
Yes. Dio has time stop in PCB even though Dio Brando is the part 1 version.
He should really have psycho spears instead, with a unique message.

>>140710006
Why are you responding to me, you dirty crawler
I swear on me mum
>>140710107
Never fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.
>>140710107
Finding the "post a reply" button is too much effort for a crawl baby like me so I just press on a random post number to quote. I get my shitposting faster, you get your (you)'s, everybody wins.
Tell me, do you like roguelites?
>>140712479
>>140712479
NoYes
>>140712574
I will as soon as you tell me if you like them or not.this general is fucking dead, atleast I'm trying to keep it alive
>>140712767
Better dead and fondly remembered than a slow and painful slide down to shitposty mediocrity.
>>140712858
/vg/ is full of shitposting.
Now, it can be "good" shitposting or bad shitposting.
>>140702780
Is this PCB? I haven't played any RLs for several months and I know it had some updates, but never looked into what the changes were.
>>140702780
>the rapier "silver chariot"
Ha.
Also, if it's the first time I'm playing PCB should I pick rune knight?
How do you wield the dragonslayer.
This circlejerk bullshit on the forums is pissing me off.
>>140713165
Yes.
The newest version looks nice.
>>140713324
You're going to die anyway so pick something that sounds interesting.
Dosh Knights are pretty fun and interesting though.
>>140713862
I know you have to be berserk, but that's not enough, there is another prerequisite.
>>140713875
Rune knights look interesting so I'll pick that.
>>140714228
Good for you anon.
Remember to read the pasta even if it's a little outdated.
At 80th level of Angband. I wonder if I should finish up some side-business. I kill lot of uniques I face ( with some exceptions, like Atlas ),
>>140713324
Rune Knight's stronk, but levels slowly. Warrior's probably best choice for beginner, though.
>>140715303
Don't worry, I'm patient, but I have a question, dwarf of human?
>>140713709
You need the berserker armor I think
>>140715563
Human. Dwarf is a shitty race in PCB.
>>140715563
Go Half-Titan or Demigod for a first character.
>>140715880
I'm not sure about that, it's possible though.
>>140686884
>There's been at least a single win for dcss in every fucking thread for the past four years
Newfag detected
We've had entire months where people barely post about crawl at all, nevermind win
That's the singing sword up there
>>140715880
Pretty sure that's unrelated, there is a non-random DS long before armor.
One of pick conditions is having berserk status, also it's supposedly obtainable by any character so traits or previous floors drops don't matter.
>>140716054
Ah sorry it's the other way around, berserk armor cannot be equipped without the dragonslayer
>pair of boots has 90% coverage vs thigh high boots which have 80%
really nice there DDA, really nice.
>>140717848
>playing DDA
Why do you hurt yourself.
>>140718143
it lets me mount a 120MM to a bicycle so I play it from time to time.
>>140713709
Okay I'm guessing you need blademaster and berserker to be able to wield it, I don't really have any other guesses after having checked some morgues.
Wow Menkaure is actually really weak without his offensive magic
What was that strategy to use the first levels of the dungeon as a source of unlimited XP due to OoD spawns?
Could you guys give me a general advice on clearing branches in DCSS?
I've found the Lair, immediately cleared it fully, then cleared one branch (swamp) fully and got the rune. What do I do now: go for other runes, clear the dungeon, clear the mines and maybe elven halls? It seems that no matter where I go I get the same level of difficulty, does the game spawn monsters based on your current level, so you can never outlevel it?
>>140697597
>0 out of 1 claimed
>>140720157
Mines then D15 then 2nd rune
>>140697597
He isn't "selling" it, that's from the fundraising campaign which finished about 4 years ago. The point is that someone generous enough to give him 50k would receive the source code, not that he set up a stand on the market where he gives people the code for 50k
>>140710006
you will die in slime
go spider, beware tarantella confusion and orb spiders
bring your blowgun and a change of panties
>>140720840
Also consider that he most likely made way, way, way more than 50k from the steam launch, so even if he WAS to sell the source code that would be below its value. But he would be selling it to some game company, not to a hobbyist
>>140697597
>hard bound source code
you might as well kill yourself if you buy this
holy shit
>>140721145
It isn't intended to be used, it's just a gesture. Again, that was from the fundraising campaign which is already finished, and he isn't actually selling it. You may also notice that the prize also includes him personally delivering it and staying to talk about the game

Also, I'm the guy who's posted the mummy, should I buy that FDA? How much training would I need to counter the penalties with 15 strength? I've got lucky with rings of protection and aux gear so I have 20/13 defenses
>>140722456
>>140723279
Oh shit.
Nicely done anon.
Are you a ninja?
>>140723394
Yeah. Dual-wielded poison needles.
Despite everything, it went relateively smoothly. Once psycho-spearing brought me to 200 hp. I did destruct one part of the map because I fucked up and let Greater Rotting Q get involved.
Time to go create an artifact.

>>140724204
Are Thanos and Winblows unreforgeable now with the reforge rework?
>>140723862
PDSM is a bad artifact creation base.
Is leveling armor obligatory for melees-without-spells in crawl? From what I understand, you only need 20 strength to not get destroyed by encumbrance of plate, and AC isn't increased with armor skill, only equipment itself. I've been leveling dex and dodging after hitting 20 strength, how badly am I about to get fcuked later on?
How the fuck do you guys play PCB. In my experience it's an eternal grind to fun. I really want to like it though.
>>140724929Git gud. 90 minutes to level 50.
>>140724929
just pretend it's Morrowind or something
>>140724929
You have to route the early game.
Then the midgame is just grindy as fuck.
It would be nice if levels 32-44 simply didn't exist.
Is CDDA still shit? Is it worse than a few months ago?

Right, so my adventures to become godzilla continues, and for this run I decided to challenge myself to not using any perks that you would deem helpful (aside from fast learner because reading is annoying), and I have to give creds to the idea that not having night vision and not having anything but a temporary torch can be quite spooky if you lack good armor/weaponry.
Also tried ASCII for quite a bit but I think DDA is one of the games I would never touch with ASCII, as it majorly looks bad in terms of color selection and both giving the player an understanding on what the fuck is what from a distance.
>>140725252
Cars have been made harder to find in working conditions and now require a few more things, still bloaty as fuck and now you're required to have minerals in your body every day or you suffer consequences. There's also a bionic limit for bodyparts (HINT HINTwhich doesn't fucking workHINT HINT)
