Old Thread: >>145698450
Hallowed be thy name.
My horse evolved into an unruly horse and it seems like I've lost speed because of it. Can anyone confirm/deny this for me?
3rd for dragons are a shit race.
>>145825856
You may have lost speed because of insufficient riding skill? I don't know how riding works in Poschengband at all.
>>145825856
In PCB monsters have their speed slightly randomized when they're generated (up to I think -3 or +3 from the normal value).
You just got shitty lucky and your new horse was generated with -1 speed.
>>145826054
Fucking gay.
PosChengband? More like PozChengband.
Cause the game is AIDS.
>>145826130
horse-on-horse might be gay but horse-on-woman is actually less gay than man-on-woman:^)
>>145826278
>anything being more straight than straight sex
What could go wrong?
The Tarrasque is evidently another monster capable of killing a solar.
>>145827004
That HP is actually looking pretty good now.
Also nice capped unhasted speed.
>>145827004
Can you control gods? Also nice current mount that fucker has killed me before from the rocket spam.
>>145827226
No (but you can summon them with summon monsters, for a short amount of time anyway).
I looked it up once. It's p, h, t, A, L, V and nazgul I think.
We managed to kill artemis, though I had to let my mount kick her to near death and finish her with a magic missile since all my devices and mana were empty.
>>145827004
how much of that speed is from Echizen and how much is from eating eight thousand speed rings
>>145827918
My speed bonus is +29, but you only get a percentage of that when riding. It's almost all him.
Why haven't they done something about gargoyle, just too powerful
>>145828126
And since I lost control of him already, my unmounted speed is +34.
Lost my first horse to a death sword but was able to grab another unruly horse, this one without a speed malus. To be continued tomorrow.
>>145828229

Gargoyle doesn't even make the top 5 strongest races in Crawl anon.
I only use repel missiles and blink spell but this hat gives me better spell chance. Should i train some int or keep it as it is now?
>>145829061
>implying HP is what determines the strength of a race
nigga pls
>>145829270
>implying that rLCS doesn't impact the necessary care taken when playing different races
You can do better anon
>>145829248
Don't raise int.
You should only wear this hat if you need rPois for a Lair branch. And for fire monsters if you haven't found any other source of rF like a ring.
-3 AC is bad.
>>145829492
Are you bad at the game or something? because it sounds like you are. I recommend gittinggud
>>145829575
Should clarify that if you have any other source of rPois, don't use the hat.
It's a bad hat against every monster that doesn't do poison or fire damage, and it's a bad hat if you have rPois or rF from somewhere else.
Has anyone used it before? Is it too suicidal?
>>145829818
well you get rF++ from it so you won't take much damage
I'd use it just for the fun factor.
>>145829818
It's fun and in trunk it makes you immune to your own clouds.
>>145829492
LCS is not a very scary monster spell. Iron shot is much worse.
>>145829941
>>145829962
Well damn, I'm going to acquire money for the first time ever. This thing costs 2k, the orange plate armour costs 2.3k and I already bought a pair of randart rings for about 1.6k gold. This is a very jewish run and Ash isn't going to pay for it.
>>145830008
>LCS is not a very scary monster spell
Your new is showing
Maybe do something about that
Yo, quick Crawl question: If I'm an endgame worthy mummy, can I just wait forever and kill the monsters that spawn for free exp, or does the game have some way of detecting this?
I figure I can kill pretty much any single spawn.
pretty good minotaur droptoo bad rings DONT HAVE HANDS
>>145830636
time eventually runs out, i dont know why youd want to do that anyway
>>145830363
I am more scared of a spell which is likely to actually deal damage to me then a spell which has a much lower chance of potentially dealing ~33% more damage to me.
LCS is pretty shit as both a player and monster spell.
Smitefire, Paralyze, Iron Shot, Torment are all much much worse.
>>145830636
Why don't you just enter a ziggurat to test your character's power?
>>145830363
I think he was talking about iron shot having longer range and it being easier to stay out of range of LCS, but that's really iffy reasoning.
>>145830636
You should do Pandemonium if you want to grind, assuming you can get the 4 pan runes without leaving their levels. If Pan is too easy you can do Zigs but I don't know why you'd want to do that.
You could wait forever on normal dungeon levels and the game will spawn increasingly dangerous monsters and then stop spawning entirely. But this is boring and stupid.
>>145830793
LCS is more accurate than iron shot.
>>145828790
Maybe I should
>>145829061
I had frailty and not 27 fighting
Oh right, mana storm destroys everything ever so maybe the black reaver isn't as good as it looks. He has a lot of pointless spells, too, though I'm not sure what casts intelligently does for that.
You can walk through walls while riding one which is pretty cool though.
>>145830793
And there was a time when LCS was the most dangerous damage dealing monster spell you could face, thus using LCS as a shorthand for 'high incoming magical damage that has a chance of flatly assguttering you' is a fairly straightforward way to state things to someone who's played anything older than nucrawl
But this has stopped being fun, so peace
>>145830784
That's at 20 million turns, right? I don't think I'll grind for that long.
>>145830862
Too dangerous.
>>145830898
>You could wait forever on normal dungeon levels and the game will spawn increasingly dangerous monsters and then stop spawning entirely. But this is boring and stupid.
Sounds right up my alley. The "stop spawn" threshold is per floor, right?
>>145830898
>LCS is more accurate than iron shot.
Are you sure?
I have only been hit by it two or three times that I can remember, while I get hit by iron shot all the time. Maybe the spell frequencies on Iron Shot casters are just higher?
So how is a mage late game in PCB? I'm thinking of finally trying one out. Do they have to grind like for *healing* like hitdudes? Or do they just get one-shot by everything? How are you supposed to survive lategame? Can I just go full spells and not train melee at all?
>>145831394
Mages are kind of bad, though Armageddon/Sorcery can be fun. Try a high mage first.
>>145831394
if you have heal spells then you get to grind for !mana instead
>>145825603
Can anyone recommend a roguelike with good immersion/story? I know that's not the focus of most roguelikes. I've been playing DCSS and the lack of any story other than "get orb take it back to surface" is kind of annoying.
>>145831523
Which realm? Armageddon right? I want to kill shit with manastorms and psycho-spears.Or is it just nature for everything because nature op?
>>145831157
It's per floor. I think it stops after 10k turns?
>>145831215
Yes it's more accurate, by 3 more accuracy.
>>145831802
Tales of MajEyal
>>145831826
Mana storm is chaos. Neither one has really any utility whatsoever so pick whichever sounds cooler.
You can't really melee things that matter as a mage unless you're doing some weird build you've focused your entire character around.
>>145831802
Elona Custom has the plot finally translated for us gaijins.
>>145831826
No no. A pure nature caster is bad.
Nature is a support school (though its fourth book isn't, but Nature 4 is bad)
I recommend either Chaos or Armageddon.
Daemon is also doable, but has a huge gap between good spells early on.
You can see the spells for a bunch of the schools here: http://nikheizen.github.io/pages/spellbooks.html
The page is currently unfinished though.
>>145832016
Elona looks like a clusterfuck of random weeb shit. Could anyone explain to me it's appeal? Not a rhetorical question I'm honestly curious about the game.
>>145831826
nature is OP as a sort of support school for hybrid dudes like monks
it doesn't actually have many/any good damage spells so it's poor as your only school
maybe nature+armageddon on a mage would be nice? but high mages only get one school so don't bother
>>145831802
nothing is gonna have a hugely engrossing story because you're repeating it from the beginning every time you die
>>145831802
Sil.
I don't really get the advice to pick High Mage over normal mage. Sure you get lower mana costs on your spells but you have to pick a damage school and then you're losing out on strong utility shit like dimension door or clairvoyance. Just dimension door by itself is good enough to be worth it, especially if you're a human so you can take astral guide.
>>145831978
>>145832137
>>145832350
Okay, so how am I supposed to kill serpent? Manastorm spam?
>>145832201
The non-story enemies and items are, honestly, pretty random. A lot like PCB in that sense (you're gonna run into Big Daddies, for instance.) The main plot itself is pretty solid and non-random though.
The main appeal of the game is "you can do anything," for lack of a better explanation. Decorate your house, make a living selling cooked crops, be a golem protitute, mod your waifu into the game and turn her into a disgusting god-slaying powerhouse, marry a horse, you get the idea.
>>145832583
Did you pick Armageddon? You have Breathe Mana, not Manastorm. But the serpent doesn't resist shards so you'll probably use the slightly-higher-damage Breathe Shards instead for 500 damage a pop.
>>145832583
What did you pick? If Chaos, yes, you just manastorm it until it dies. It takes 60 casts before regen, so make sure to stock up on !Restore Mana, staves of Restore Mana, and rods of Great Clarity.
>>145832583
That and offensive devices, since you have one of the highest device skills in the game.
>>145832998
Nah I picked Chaos.
>>145833001
>>145833102
Thanks guys, really helpful. I love /rlg/.
BEST AND COMFIEST GENERAL RIGHT HERE FOLKS
>>145832569
Isn't astral guide shit though? Just carry scrolls.
>>145832569
Have you played a mage?
Running out of mana constantly is not fun.
Even with a primary damage school you still run out of mana in fights against low level uniques constantly.
>>145833531
astral guide makes dimension door cost only 1 turn instead of 1.3 or whatever
being able to 0% fail teleport to exactly the tile you want is really useful
>>145834624
I don't think many characters can cast dimension door at 0% fail.
>>145829768
>>145829575
Yeah. I didn't notiice the "-3". I already have rF ,rPois and blink. I'll just drop it.
It turns out ring monsters can't learn the 'plasma bolt' spell. Fuck.
>>145834965
Fair enough.
Psions can, I just assumed mages could too.
It was worth trudging through all of Robin Hood's traps for this.
>>145835539
As it's been stated, mages are kind of shitty.
This is a Shrewd Demigod Athena Mage of Armageddon/Sorcery who took Arcane Mastery as a feat. That's 3 Easy Spell bonuses right there.
With a 4th easy spell bonus from the Charmed Pendant, the fail rate is 0.
Another little bit: the fail rate on Breathe Shards is 24%(12% with the Charmed Pendant) and costs 51/457 mana (capped INT, no DecMana or SP pool increases).
>>145837062
>cropping
>>145837179
I guess the fail rate is lower when it's your primary school at least? I thought the general strat was to have the school with escape/emergency spells as your primary school for the lower failrates.
I don't know how severely that shits on your secondary school though
I absolutely cannot get Lab start to work on the current CDDA experimental. Even at total base defaults for city gen, I can hold Shift+Y all night and it won't spawn a start.
Is there an earlier build that it does work on that still has the majority of the new features?
>>145838009
They just pushed a new build that fixed it 25 minutes ago
Dear /rlg/
fuck this place and fuck ancient liches
Why the fuck does waterstrike exist
>>145838162
Amazing.
>>145837773
It's pretty bad. Obviously Dimension door is 0%, but having this bad fail rates on your damage spells with pretty much the max amount of easy spell you can get is not worth it imho.
Though I guess as a Mage you might want to rely more on -Rockets et al.
Still, sounds pretty shitty compared to an XL50 High Mage.
>>145838485
Forgot image.
With one more easy spell bonus the fail rate would go down to 0%, and 2 is not as hard to get or sacrificing as much as 4.
>>145838723
Breathe Shards fail rate would go down to 0% for the high mage*
>>145838293
10/10
And surprisingly I haven't seen ancient liches in the vaults in a while

Would anyone be interested in a series of Brogue videos where a decent player goes over replays of their games and points out mistakes and reasons why they made certain decisions?
>>145841840
Sure. What do you have to lose but a little time?
Casters in PCB are really fun, a lot more than melee, glad I checked them out. Bolts are great for clearing lots of enemies in hallways.
>>145842242
What realm are you playing?
>>145842371
Chaos. Just learned chaos bolt a little bit ago but I'm a little worried it might poly an enemy or something and completely heal any damage the actual bolt does. I used it on Meng and obviously uniques can't be poly'd so it just confused him which was really useful. Chaos damage does have a chance to poly right?
>>145842494
Oh yeah it can poly. Now that's what I call shit.
>Lair is now 6 floors
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LOOOOONG
>>145842494
>>145842758
Yeah. But you should really be using Mana Burst for pretty much everything.
It doesn't destroy loot and has amazing mana efficiency when mastered.
Use Doom Bolt for uniques.
>>145842887
I have been using Mana Burst for everything, though I sometimes use fire bolt or fist of force.
>>145843330
Yup. Sounds about right.
>>145843342
Uh, what's that supposed to mean?
>>145843330
Remember that first of force is actually a single-tile ball of disintegration. So it'll destroy any sweet loot that your victim is standing on.
>>145843657
You can't destroy artifacts right? I got shit from meng and I'm afraid I may have faulted.
>>145843462
It means that that was my experience playing a high mage of Chaos as well.
Don't think too hard man, you might hurt yourself.
>>145843750
Yeah whatever.

I wish there was a midgame guaranteed fixedart somewhere in Crawl. I want more fixedarts.
>>145844697
I think sapher has a video of his best run. You can see just how fucking risky he plays. Stuff like berserking to kill an orb of fire and the berserk literally ending on the last swing to kill it. Insane luck.
I FIND THRANDUIL SO EARLY
MEME
>>145844996
There are good rolls involved in any of those runs, sure, but it's not mere luck either.
Turncount runs require very precise and smart play, if you just try to go full throttle until you die you'll get nowhere.
>>145845138
Don't get me wrong, he is obviously skilled. Its just everything he does is balanced on a knife edge, and it would only take 1 thing to go wrong for his run to end. Also, its a pretty funny video. You can hear him smashing the fuck out of his tab key.
Chaos bolt confusion spam is priceless.
>>145845286
Have a link? Youtube's giving unrelated results.
Of course I find this when I'm playing a mage.

How do you play ogres without extremely lucky drops? Their defences are so spectacularly bad it's not even funny. If I didn't have that +9 AC from items, I'd be dead long ago. And don't answer with the high HP meme, regenerating this shit takes so long that new monsters spawn before I'm even back to full.
>>145853089
High HP and insane weapon/fighting apt.
>>145853089
>high HP is a meme
This is worse than calling high HP rLCS.
Regeneration rate scales with max HP.
>>145853089
>slow regen
I think I understand your problem, anon.
You drank a !mut too many.
>>145853361
Slow regen only kicks in with monsters in LoS.
Is there ANY good 15 rune god except Chei?
>>145853496
Yeah.
>>145853494
Then why aren't you wearing a +4 TLA instead of that dank swamp kush? You already have Rpois from the ring.
Anyway you're fault stop quaffing !mut stop eating purple meat
or at least if you do don't say that your problem is your race
>>145853241
It scales so well it take over 300 turns to regen to full, more or less. I've run into situations where I wouldn't be able to regain HP because new monsters would just appear long before I'm done resting and take away most if not all of the HP i regained, sometimes forcing teleport(s) too.
Even High Elf and Vampire melee chars seem at times easier to play than this.

>Anyway you're fault stop quaffing !mut stop eating purple meat or at least if you do don't say that your problem is your race
My mutations have nothing to do with the problem I presented (or rather, they even make it lesser because of scales and rC++), so how about you don't try to use them as some weird way to gain upper ground at the end of your post?
>>145853857

22 instead of 27 for level 9 spells is actually a rather large discount, which lets you have an incredibly diverse arsenal of spells while maintaining above average defenses for such a character. Passive map and enemy sense is at its absolute best in Pan, where it actually saves you valuable HP and time. Scrying is exceptional for ninja'ing the hell runes with spells like shatter or cblink. Also, that chei is really awful. Please take it easy with that art.
>>145853496
>Is there ANY good 15 rune god
All of them.
No, really.
The game is trivial to knock out naked if you allow yourself any of: buff spells, offensive spells, evocations, potion quaffing, LOS reducers, cloak of fog, and probably a bunch more crap that I'm forgetting to mention.
Gods in DCSS are icing. Yes, all of them. Even Sif channeling is useful.
>>145854081
Okay, I'll try it with the next ogre but until that happens, I'm not convinced.
Reminder that true Chei worshippers take it easy.
>>145854005
>Using scrolls is a waste
Anon, stop it. You complain about no AC when every ogre wants dat sweet troll wrapper for the regen and marginal protection it affords. Its also kind of an optimal choice to use your armor enchants ASAP on auxiliary gear if you're having trouble, since early game AC is so good. You don't gain much by saving anything in crawl.
>>145854248
I'm actually complaining more about no EV.
Your and the other anon's points sound good, but I bet it will fucking suck once I do try it. Thanks for the tips though, I might have not considered it a viable solution on my own.
>>145854410
>I'm actually complaining more about no EV.
>how can you survive without +9 AC
Stop.
>>145854248
Isn't +Regen worth less for high-HP characters, since it increases your regen rate by a flat amount?
>>145854457
no buly
>>145854457
>how can you survive with +9 AC when you have no EV either
not very difficult to understand, I hope
>>145854632

>>145854474
Regen is insane no matter what.
Everyone's getting bullied
>>145854474
If you have 200 HP one source of Regen+ on gear approximately doubles your rate of regeneration.

Oh, that's pretty good.
>>145855075
Do those grenade fuckers still get infinite grenade hacks? Last time I came across one he just kept throwing them out and didn't stop until I finally got tired of shooting them and killed him.

It's not infinite but it might as well be.

Demigod Paladin of Life.
I'm endlessly grinding for a better weapon or a Ring of Power to up my damage a bit so I can take on the end-game.
>>145855514
colorful messages
major change to devices (new types added, devices can have egos, devices no longer stack [RIP for that last one])
>>145855604
>>145855514
Check out the commit history.
Otherwise the biggest change is that devices now have egos and all devices regenerate over time and when you sleep at inns. (town recharge service is gone).
In 4.0.2 some changes were made to the distributions of certain useful items like !Healing and !Speed to require less grinding.
Additionally, artifact/item power was reworked and reforging is now much better. Randarts seem to be a bit more variable now too.

This is without the Stone of Life since I haven't found it yet and with shit Wis as you can see.

granadiers are very dangerous,
havent seen one a long time. last one was in the lab weaponry section. Almost dies since i underestimate them.
>>145856090
Yeah, you basically want to kill it ASAP or evoke feet.
>>145856036
Well I think Clairvoyance is usually the most a hybrid will get out of Blessings of the Grail. I also don't think casting stat affects fail-rate? Not sure though.
Post your CM/~W as well.
>>145856131
Actually Ultimate resistance is quite godly for the mid-game because enemies can't really dispel yet.
>>145856269
599 damage vs. evil @ 71% is somewhat suboptimal, but is definitely doable for the serpent. Especially for a durable character like a Life Paladin.
You should be trolling D80-90 Angband for vaults and uniques instead of the arena dungeon. Much more likely to find a Ring of Power in a greater vault than in Arena:65(way too low btw).
So fucking happy mages can wear actual armor with resists unlike monks.
>>145856471
Yeah, yeah I know.
Just trying to be careful and Arena is the most careful one can be.
>>145856130
hate them since they destroy everything that might be good, like in the military bunkers.

What demigod feats did you take?
HEY LISTEN UP YOU FAGGOTS.
YOUR TURN BASED HUNGER CLOCK SIMULATORS ARE FOR LOSERS
YOU WALK AROUND AND PRESS THE UP ARROW KEY INTO MONSTERS UNTIL THEY DIE AND THEN YOU GRIND AND DO IT AGAIN
THERE IS NO STRATEGY AT ALL, LITERALLY PRETENTIOUS ASCII GRINDING
HOLY SHIT
>>145856678
Evasion and Demonic Grasp.
I think they're the most optimal ones for a paladin.
>>145856681

>>145856761
200 AC, 1000 HP, Evasion, and Demonic Grasp and you are hanging out on Arena 65? You silly bugger, you. You're probably making things more dangerous by extending the grind so long you get bored.
>>145856681

Gone Home. Check mate.
PS: Can you still use * aiming in PCB to aim a bloodknights blood explosions or was that deemed a bug and patched?
>>145858739
Keep trying, you'll get there eventually.
>>145859040
Because he's shitposting, don't respond.
>>145859040
Honestly senpai I actually like roguelikes and just wanted someone to prove me wrong, been playing them for a while now and just came to this realization recently. I still play them but feel stupid knowing they basically test how long you can keep your focus on something before getting bored and accidentally killing yourself.
>>145859306
I don't know what's wrong with you, but I get quite immersed while playing IA, Sil, or Brogue and never spend time grinding in them at all.
They are also definitely fulfilling for that strategy itch.
No, I never grind in 950' either unless I feel like it.
I've recently been playing more stuff like PCB and DCSS, because I always cycle through the roguelikes I play, but those three are the holy trinity in my mind.
Alright fellow neckbeards, how do we fix mutations in DCSS?
>>145859649
Remove them.
>>145859649
Malmutation has a higher chance of removing mutations with the more you have, same as eating mut meat or quaffing !mut
Also have it be balanced 60/40 towards bad muts, so you have a higher chance of getting something decent once in a while
Oh, and give !benMut a very small chance of conveying Ds muts to everyone
>>145859649
Remove potions of beneficial mutations because often they aren't all that beneficial.
>>145859917
Why not just remove all potions?
