I was going to ask if this game was still on its death march to bad game hell, but it looks like someone's working on a fork to fix exactly that nice

Turtlicious posted:I wish crawl would do what other games do when it comes to ease of casting and spells. I know I'm supposed to set everything up myself with macros but it's so much easier to log into dungeonmans and set spells 1-9 with icons and the Like the irony of this is that DC:SS strives to be easy to understand with its UI and mouse controls, yet it's easier to stick to Nethack conventions than to click, which goes against the whole design

Tollymain posted:demigods aren't v popular though because they're sort of boring. people have suggested the self-religion stuff before but nobody's put forward something compelling/simple/open-ended enough why not make them like Draconians in which they realize some sort of aspect of themselves and then play accordingly You realize your necromantic heritage! (Shittier Kiku) You realize your warmongering heritage! (Shitter Oka) you know, poo poo like that

took om the Tomb for the first time while worshipping TSO and died on floor 3 and all I can think is: man, evocables need some love. a life without rods is a boring as hell life, let alone a life not dedicated to Pakellas

my point is make evocable items more interesting at high levels of evocables instead of just piling on a ton of boring spellpower that tops out too fast maybe I want temporary deep water with a phial or I'm forcing a Glaciate out of my wand of iceblast

Tollymain posted:'pure summoning' aka farting around in the backline is only a good tactical mechanic when theres no enemies w aoes, smite-targeted attacks, blinking, etc solution: lv. 6 summon spell "Summon Vivid Butterflies" see, they're like the normal butterflies, but with vivid colors, so enemies like to target them more

ChaseSP posted:I wish there was a mobile version of Gooncrawl. I tend to do most of my playing when I'm not home. There's a way to do just that, but it's a little complicated and involves grabbing some specialized keyboard off of the Play Store but since Gooncrawl's on CBAO or whatever, you can use the app to log into it and play as I do on my tablet

so I decided to try a run like Tollymain and do a mash tab GaFi and, uh, this just showed up on D:5 I found the one below just a level earlier on D:4 edit: I'm guessing *Corrode has some reaction to a wand of acid because I immediately died after Joseph zapped me with one rip embarrassing gargoyle, melted into a puddle Victory Position fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Apr 19, 2018 |

Tollymain posted:imo gargoyles should have rpois instead of poison immunity and nonfunctional wings (that can still be converted to flight-capable wings via mutation) Gargoyles get huge flappy wings and can wear body armor while draconians have weird little stubby wings and can't wear any freakin' body armor it's crime, I tell you, CRIME

Heithinn Grasida posted:Early iterations of wjc were hilarious for short blade users since they compressed all your attacks into one big hit, allowing you to overcome AC. I killed orbs of fire more than once with a single lunge wielding a rapier of speed. unrandart "Ricard's Rapier" that when evoked, allows you to hit an enemy a shitload of times but compressed into a single hit

if weapons were to get some sort of differentiation outside of their skill as they are now, it should be related to stabbing what I'm saying is bring back club-stabbing

Tollymain posted:dark souls has lied to you about shields tho, theyre often strapped p securely to your arm, and not just a flat piece of wood and metal w a handle, theres a p big difference between swapping between 2 large objects you merely hold in both hands and getting a shield off your arm mid-combat actually, you'll find that my elaborate weapon holstering system works with a series of pulleys that bring the shield to my arm and back again the sleeve gun of shields

let's talk about a bad school of magic: Poison sure, it's alright during the early and mid game, but is that all it's supposed to be? just something you take a few levels in and just remember Mephetic Cloud once in a while?

Scaramouche posted:While I'm at it some thoughts on Gooncrawl in general (I played 0.17 almost exclusively before this, so if some of this stuff isn't Gooncrawl specific I apologize): Gooncrawl has merged elements with Hellcrawl, right? maybe it's something that's being pulled from there

conversely, having high levels of piety with Trog ought to cause extremely adverse effects to MP-draining monsters up to and absolutely having a ghost moth explode if it looks at you the wrong way
