I was going to say "make it randomly have a rocket launcher" but that would actually be a bad idea, because this should like a genuinely fun concept for a new gimmick boss and it wouldn't do to make it annoying. It would have to be restricted to the main branch or something like that, though.

Maybe slow speed and slow attack speed but a sprint burst like alligators if you let it get too close (or not if that's too annoying). I'm sure stalk and chase timers can be tweaked, etc. Technically mindless so can't be charmed? It's just fun to think about. *Xom laughs maniacally* "X gon give it to ya!"

That would just be Boris in melee form. Always kind of wished Boris was more of a threat. I can't think of a single time he's really been a major threat unless he spawned really early. He just likes to show up and be a nuisance, and then show up again when you're so buff you just squash him. goatsestretchgoals posted:As a dumbass who MiFis and uses throwing to reach out, this owns. Mulching as a mechanic exists because the devs don't want you to be able to use ranged weapons exclusively. Kind of annoying since it means you have to scrounge for ammunition constantly.

make mockery posted:why doesnt boris scale to his environment Rather than an immortal lich, have him reincarnate as a floor-appropriate monster: he can show up as a Goblin on D:1, a Gold Dragon in the depths, an Orb of Fire in Zot, etc. Give him some unique taunts and maybe one special ability, but otherwise is a slightly beefed up version of whatever he's reincarnated as. Also give him a small chance to show up as a bowl of petunias.

Its been about a year and a half since I played this game. I still hate what the devs have done but I got real nostalgic about it lately. So I said gently caress it and decided to play again. I dunno who added this library memorization feature but holy hell its amazing!

Still was busy playing through RE2make as well as messing around with Wargroove, but got something small out for a Gooncrawl update: -The Malmutate spell will no longer mutate the player. Instead, it will cause 1-5 points of stat drain (average 3-4) in each stat (which I'm thinking about adjusting downwards later, depends on the feedback). This change only affects Orbs of Fire, as they are the only remaining monster with Malmutate and I didn't want to bother to rename it in the code at the moment. Other sources of malmutation (standing in mutagenic fog, spell miscasts, Mnoleg melee) will still mutate you.

Coincidentally enough, that's pretty much the same effect the undead (Mummy, Ghoul, blood-drying Vampire) get from being Malmutated.

Having done another 15-rune game, my initial excitement has faded away pretty fast. For two versions later, very little seems to have changed. Extended hasn't even been touched. Once again I was mutated by hell glow I couldn't avoid. I really don't get how that doesn't drive other players crazy. It feels so lovely. I've been playing this game for years. I have almost 100 wins online. I've given a bunch of feedback. And I'm pretty sure the only suggestion I've made that actually got into the game was a troll Xom vault that spawns a friendly goblin.

Its not easy. I was reading through the dev logs and apparently changing extended to rework hell effects and the way Pan worked was a goal for 0.21... and nobody did it because it was hard and none of the devs care about making extended fun. IIRC the reason hell effects aren't easy to modify is because a bunch of them are just forcing miscasts and not actual, unique effects.

The most recent release is implementing seeds for seeded runs, which in my opinion is a lot harder and nastier in Crawl's code than this. It's more likely that whoever proposed it got bored and stopped and nobody else was interested.

Pffhaha. Just learned that if you set down cure mutation and benemut potions and wander off somewhere, they degrade into regular mutation potions. Teaches me for trying to stockpile them. Oh well, lesson learned, that's what mega-Zigs are for. E: And yeah, Crawl is a very interesting game, but it's been really sharply optimized further and further towards a very minimalist experience. I appreciate the deep abyss and mega-zigs as a band-aid on the issue, but I'm just not the target audience for trying to speedrun and streak a roguelike (because I am both bad and typo a great deal and decades of daily keyboard use hasn't changed that), and it seems almost like there's a weird contempt among a lot of the playerbase towards the extended content. I wouldn't be surprised if Hell or Pan eventually get trimmed some, they've remained relatively static compared to most every other branch.

Serephina posted:Bluh? What? Why? How does that make any sense compared to other potions, what does that accomplish? I suspect it's a glitch or some overlooked legacy code or something, given how long ago both of those potions were removed in the main fork. It doesn't seem like something that's likely to come up often, admittedly, those aren't items people are going to stash on the rare occasion they even find them, but I goof around in dumb ways on the rare occasions I play.

I'm being trolled by the game so hard. I get a +9 quickblade from acquirement super early and it lets me shred everything. All I need is a brand weapon scroll to make it viable weapon. Well I wait and wait and wait but I never find a brand weapon scroll, aside from one in a bazaar I can't buy. With no brand, the quickblade is starting to fall off. I don't have anything to use against high AC enemies. Even with my slaying bonuses and Wu's storm I'm having trouble killing some foes. But once Ir each Depths:5 I FINALLY get my hands on one and; quote:As you read the scroll of brand weapon, it crumbles to dust.

All I need is a brand weapon scroll to make it viable weapon. What's considered the best brand these days? On my last run I was using a maxed out battleaxe of vampirism that carried me through the entire game and that I only switched out against dummies it didn't work against.

Context sensitive. A lovely +1 short sword of venom on D1 will carry nonviable race combos to lair at least, while for extended holy wrath is ideal. A "battleaxe of vamp" is literally the stereotypical weapon used to describe how you don't need the heaviest weapon variant nor 'best' lategame brand to get though the normal game, which is where most people die. For a quickblade he was probably hoping for lightning, with draining/distortion/frost as good second choices. Shame that weapon brand scrolls are strongly weighted to crap like vorpal, eh. FWIW my SpEn (from yeaaaars ago) used a lightning rapier for Zot. I also had a Halfling clear out most of extended using an ordinary sling with a random brand. So, uh, biggest&best isn't always necessary.

Floodkiller posted:I think I missed some save compatibility code, I'll fix it after work. Fixed Also removed Charms and Hexes from the random Hell miscast effects, which removes the potential for getting glow. This is just a quick change to do, but I still want to look into if they need more trimming and some special effects for each Hell. Finally, toned down OOF's new Malmutate to only be 1-3 points of stat drain for each stat. I may have just been updating tired and forgot how absolutely lethal 2-5 is per cast on an OOF for any species with low stat bases.

Here’s my pitch for Malmutate: it goes back to mutating you but it takes like five~ standard turns to charge and you can interrupt it with any damage. Rocks. Smites. Fireballs, anything. So it’s a wind up that makes him vulnerable and if you can’t get to him or out of range by then, you get zapped.
