Let's talk about Android Tiles for a sec, I tried it once briefly and it felt infuriatingly slow compared to playing on a keyboard. Has it changed at all? Does it get much easier as you get used to it? I'm probably getting a Note 3 and I'd kind of like to slap Crawl on there but the interface change made me sad.

Internet Kraken posted:Yeah, you should got to Vaults and get banished by the Ogre mages instead Seriously though Banishment is an awful mechanic. Actually, all of the binary "does nothing 95% of the time and kills you the rest" ones are frustrating because convenient play and optimal play are so far apart. I'm not sure how you'do MR stuff better, though. I can't even imagine the frustration of trying to get a MuSk going.

The mechanic is dumb because it's so all or nothing and because nothing happens most of the time if you don't have the resistant then all of a sudden that one time you're dead.

Prism posted:Today I learned that, even if you resist poison, emperor scorpions hurt a ton. Ow. Branch endings are much harder than the branches themselves. I usually don't even peek into a Lair branch until I've cleared Lair itself, Orc, and as much Dungeon as I feel I can. Clearing out a couple of floors of Spider won't hurt you or anything, but wait to do the last floor until you're ready for much tougher opposition.

dis astranagant posted:So I fired up a DECj to break the ogre monotony and I don't have a clue what any of this poo poo does beside magic dart and IMB nor what of it is any good. I get (dart and) Searing Ray and then rush Battlesphere ASAP. It used to be level 4, so DECj could have it running by the end of d:2; that's no longer the case, but you should definitely have it pretty castable by d:4 if you train charms and conj, castable enough to be a panic button at least. Then it quickly becomes your bread and butter. I macro Battlesphere to '2' and dart to '1' and mage-tab through a lot of the game that way, it's that good.

Hey, so with CSZO still down, if we add # TEAMCAPTAIN etc to our rc files on CAO, will we be able to play there and have it count? Or does it not count because we have in-process games on CAO or something?Kekekela posted:Hey so why'd you take this guy into Hall of Blades anyway? Darth Windu posted:I just caught up on it and all that happened was really ignorant people driving a really knowledgeable person out of the thread because he didn't handle them with kid gloves while correcting their horrible advice. There's a difference between "handle with kid gloves" and "go out of his way to be a dick". I mean, I get that badplayers whining about "unavoidable" deaths when they could have been avoided with better play gets really annoying after a while, but that was pretty harsh?

Person Dyslexic posted:Someone asked about the wild magic mutation earlier and I don't think it was ever answered so here goes: it is incredible if the minor -casting chance doesn't cripple you. From what I dug up it counts as one enhancer for each rank of the mutation so having wild magic two means you have two permanent enhancers for ALL spells at all times. I used to hate it until I found this out... losing 7% chance to cast firestorm sucks until you realize it is now max power and smokes even hellions in one cast just, you know, don't blow yourself up using it. Yeah, but does it count towards the three-enhancer limit, and if so how? Does Wild Magic count as one enhancer regardless of the rank, does each rank count as a separate enhancer, or does it not count as an enhancer at all?

You know, I think that armour made out of uniques (e.g. Purgy or Xtahua hides and the resulting armour) should be a little better than their mundane counterpart in some way. Not much, just enough to make them worth using over a vanilla equivalent.

I'm poisoned for all of my hp, but I've got like 9 curing potions, so I thought I was good. I'm at 9 hp, but I'm at my final MP for searing ray, and the final soldier ant is almost dead. I'm thinking 'hey, it's only been hitting me for 4 to 5, so I should have one more turn to be able to finish him off then quaff a curing. Way to pull a LogicNinja

I have literally found like 4 rings (of which only 1 is useful and 1 was cursed) and nothing better than an unbranded handaxe and troll leather armour until d:12. D:12 finally had a labyrinth (+4 plate) and an orc warrior with a flaming battleaxe I took. But jesus christ that was obnoxious.
