My last guy turned a corner and there were 3 turrets all lined up, I dunno if they all hit me at once or what but I went from 50 HP to dead in one turn! I mean technically there's a reward for beating golgotha before level 12 so hitting grit gate at 10 sounds ok-ish if not a little late for hitting the level 12 reward but if you're 10 and feeling like the tunnels of grit gate are dangerous then yeah probably go grind equimaxes or something/depends on your build (and realistically the reward for beating golgotha before 18 is more than sufficient so you could definitely spend some time leveling up in and around the upper floors of grit gate and the jungle en route to golgotha, like I don't usually leave the grit gate tunnels for golgotha till I'm 15) depends on what you've found too, cause things like a flamethrower with some oil or being able to make thermal grenades trivialize golgotha

Just when I was thinking that NPC interactions are a lil shallow (probably because I've repeated the Joppa opening so many times), I get myself embroiled in a full on detective mystery in a village full of centaurs. Interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence. Hemlock Cones? Brilliant. Anyways I love this game. Edit: lol I talked to the centaur I accused of theft and she told me to 'live and drink piss" untzthatshit fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Jul 26, 2020 |

My favored golgotha method is now dig through the wall to the northern deep chute, inject Rubbergum, diiiiiiiiive! Then grab robot and recoil out. In and out in minutes.

I've made it to golgotha once and was afraid to drop down the chutes so I tried to dig through the wall of the building and died to a random goat man that wandered on screen because I was holding down the directional button

There's a ui option buried somewhere that'll stop buffered inputs to 2 max, which can save you if the game gets chonky due to liquid physics and you're holding a key you shouldn't. In general holding a key is a Bad Idea period, walk with autorun or (w)alking in a direction, attack with abilities, thrown stuff, or the repeat attack commands. I've totally never died to a rocket turret because of a held input, nope.

gently caress I just finished Tombs This is why I was trying to hold out for final story release, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Just another year or two right?  I'll post some coherent thoughts after I've had time to organize them, game owns. Had the most Qudlike run I could possibly have with the most Qudlike ending I could possibly have as well just as a cherry on top.

I got to the end of the new content last night. Some thoughts: I had to have a think about how to get into the tomb. Not too tough but it did make me want a way to look back at important conversations since I forgot if the old bear gave me a hint I never realized the tattoo gun changed your sprite colors. That's awesome and I will cheer every time I find one from now on. The mechanics of the tomb didn't seem too complicated for me but I also had clairvoyance and teleport so idk how that would feel trying to navigate the place without those. Crypt ferrets are an extremely annoying enemy type and there are SO MANY of them. The ending was amazing, loved going through all the sultan tombs and having my run etched onto the walls was a great take on the RPG "ending slides" idea. I chose to go back to Qud, because I figured staying was an alternate death kind of thing but I am curious what staying exactly does if anyone happened to pick that option. The polymorph gel and extra slot are appropriately badass rewards. Quantum mote and hoversled? Hell ya

Turrets spend a turn activating before they start shooting at you. If you step out of line of sight as soon as you see one, they can't kill you. There are various ways to cheese them early but eventually you'll have enough AV that low-level turrets basically can't damage you. If you do find a way to clear turret nests they're usually vaults that have better-than-average loot, though.

If you have grenades throwing them around corners is a reasonable way to kill turrets a lot of the time.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:The builds in the OP are basically a shitpost I made like fifty versions ago. They were functional but not entirely serious then, and things have changed a lot since. I really appreciate you making these posts every once and a while. I got one of the fellows on the roguelike discord into Qud (and into Qud pets!) and I pointed him directly to your posts for beginner builds. The Character creation system is daunting for new players, but by necessity, because the plethora of options for Qud is one of the features that makes Qud great.

I'm glad people are getting some use out of them. I keep meaning to put together a more comprehensive guide, but it's always hard putting things in a useful order and deciding exactly what's vital information vs. too much information. Answering questions on the spot keeps it manageable.

I still would love a huge manual for his game, one that harkens back to the 90s era of PC gaming. The Fallout and Fallout 2 manuals were some of the greatest. SimCity 3k was wonderful, too. When it's all done, Qud deserves a really weird tome that has EVERYTHING in it, including extra weird lore, development info (maybe some bts stuff?), easter eggs, tips... even a small list of challenges, like kind of a "did you know that you can..." and then write up a bunch of stuff from the legendary review from Angry Diplomat. The possibilities are near limitless.

I've become completely addicted to this game, and it's easily hopped into my top games list. It took watching one a streamer get through the early game to finally get past the intense knowledge/difficulty curve, now I've sunk over 100 hours into the game and keep on coming back for more. I was already convinced of Qud's greatness by the time I thought to pull this off: Proselytized Svenlainard and let him get owned by a ton of goatfolk that I pulled one screen south of Kyakukya, netting me his ridiculous loot and a rare achievement.

Not in beta, but I had a brooding azurepuff for a warden in my starting village. Wiki says they're not supposed to puff at non-hostiles? It did to me and any adjacent villagers, who entered a cycle of attacking it before running away at low health.

It's one of the last things I intend to do before moving on to the new stuff with a new playthrough but I'm not sure just how much crazy to expect here I've killed one! Killing it wasn't the hard part so much as making one actually come about - you've got to lure a sludge through 10 different liquid types without getting killed or getting it killed by accident, the latter happened to me a couple of times when I got it to octo or nonasludge status. You're gonna be luring it across multiple screens, so high end movement options are important and the order of liquids you take it through can make things more or less difficult for you. You could maybe set up a trail of your own liquids to get it to transform faster and keep from being overwhelmed by a huge swarm of sludges, but I haven't tried that. Definitely only recommended for the most endgame of endgame characters, and I had to use the mass mind/ego projection pump to keep myself alive.

That does in fact sound like a lot of crazy is involved. Maybe I'll move the goalposts and claim that Loved By Entropic Beings was always my endgame goal and call it a day

Elbo posted:How do you typically go about acquiring faces as an esper? Just use axes and hope? Beguile a madpole? Serration can be added to any weapon, albeit at a very small proc chance. You can kite enemies all the way to the river, no Beguile or Proselytize even needed. Axes or beguiling make both processes significantly faster and easier, of course.

I just tried enabling the 'input manager' option as I've had a few games where I fat fingered myself to death recently and it seems to have made qud totally ignore my keyboard... is there a way to edit my preferences outside of entering the game? I'm using the beta build.

I'm using the beta build. Just delete PlayerOptions.json from the save game directory. It'll work if you go into controls and bind everything though.
