So, rF/rC are getting moved to "1 pip is near immunity" or "maximum of 25% resistance" because I'm betting it's the latter and  .Also, where's the most up to date online Gooncrawl build?

The dispersal traps can be triggered by monsters multiple times. I barely cleared Tomb because of it, although that was also my fault for doing the "Bring the Orb to Tomb and get the rune" challenge. It's almost as asinine as the shadow creature traps from a few versions ago. DCSS is a finished game at this point, there's no going back to the good ol' days. Play Gooncrawl if you want a fun and challenging game. Play 0.23 only if you solemnly swear to only roll VS of Gozag so you can clear Pandemonium on one pip of resistances, the way Duvessa intended.

Poison/Hexes, create a Leda's Liquification-esque pool at a targeted area. Enemies within the pool are slowed and take damage each turn, with a chance of poison/corrode.

Hooplah posted:I guess I've never thought about it - is rCorr very common among enemies seen in a typical 3-runer? Corrosion seems like an obvious effect for high level poison spells. Main fork of Crawl has always been against putting Acid into the Poison Magic school. In their view, Poison Magic is an early game tool that is supposed to fall off and adding acid damage options would give the school longevity. Acid's not very well resisted outside of Slime but there's very little sources of it on the player side: All I can think of are one part of Makhleb's Lesser Destruction, wands of acid, yellow draconian breath, acid bite mutation, and I think there's an unrandart bow with an acid brand.

Level 5 seems like a good point for a single-target curare spell: You're still limited by rPois, you're only hitting one thing at a time, and you're probably not going to kill any big threats with one shot of curare. If it needs further balancing, make it require a poisoned target.

Have some dumb ideas that will be impossible to code. 1. You start with a random weapon, random defense (including Stealth), and two random magic skills automatically training. These are your other head's skills and they advance like a Gnoll. You may not untrain them. 2. If confused or mesmerized, your other head takes control and acts like an intelligent AI, using consumables/spells/invocations. You regain control when the status ends. 3. You get an extra spell slot per level, but your other head will attempt to memorize a random spell that you could cast (under a certain failure threshold) when you pick up a spellbook. It will prioritize the other head's chosen skills if possible. 4. You may worship any god. You will still incur any penance or wrath for the actions of your other head. Your other head does not know or care about god conducts, i.e, it will chug a potion of haste while you worship Chei, it will happily learn Necromancy while worshipping TSO, and Trog will happily get mad at you for existing. redneck nazgul fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Apr 3, 2019 |

Araganzar posted:But no one in their right mind is ever going to use it, even on a high HP race. I would throw that on in a heartbeat if I was doing extended on a Vine Stalker of Gozag. Torment is one of the few things that can actually threaten a well geared character and removing that makes Pan/Hell/Tomb/Zigs much more tolerable. Being able to clear Tomb 3 without spending upwards of 30000 gold in potions would be nice.

I have a Gooncrawl run where I'm carving my way through extended as a Vine Stalker with the Gong Shield and Singing Sword. 3/4 Hell branches are cleared. I cannot wait to see how nasty Tomb's death curses are going to be when the entire level is both pissed and dying to the sonic wave effect.

Shady Amish Terror posted:Having beaten my head on this puzzle a few times, I don't know if there's a truly Zig-proof loadout; Mummy floors, spider floors, and as you've seen, undead/hell/pan floors can always potentially generate some combination of units that you just plain need at least a little luck in overcoming, and the problem becomes more severe the deeper you go into further zigs. Multiple areas of silence OR sustained terrible RNG where Gozag refuses to offer heal wounds without berserk are the only things that would kill that character. Gozag is currently way stronger than old school Nemelex/Pakellas. He breaks the concept of limited resources.

Hooplah posted:Just got nightstalker 2 on my Ds skald at xl 4, and found a very early dith altar. Currently pumping axes. What do you guys think? I'm not sure if nightstalker and dith actually have strong synergy, or if they're mostly accomplishing similar things in different ways. Nightstalker reduces visible sight range (which is Very Good because things can't hit you if they aren't in your sight range) and provides a sizable Stealth boost. Dithmenos' umbra provides a sizable Stealth boost and gives enemies in the umbra a hit penalty (unless they meet certain requirements). I'd grab a branded dagger and throw some points into that because you're going to be a stabbing machine, especially once you get Shadow Step up and running. Save the axe for groups/anything that lives through a stab.

Arivia posted:Okay, need some feedback again. Here's where I'm at after clearing Elf, Crypt, and Zot: https://crawl.kelbi.org/crawl/morgue/Arivia/Arivia.txt You have extended-quality gear right there. I'd go Slime -> Abyss -> Pan -> Hell -> Tomb -> Zig (if you're feeling ballsy), in that order.

Araganzar posted:Fencer's gloves weren't all that great, I had crap EV but even on an EV character I can't see why they are just +0. I guess people made some abusive builds around riposte? I mean at +2 or +3 would they be more overpowered than Assassin Boots or Gauntlets of War? It could probably be made +2 without too much issue, honestly. Riposte can get crazy depending on your weapon type, but if you're in a situation where you can make good use of riposte while dealing with multiple enemies surrounding you, you don't need it.

I am sad that Okawaru's ammo returning doesn't work with the Damnation crossbow. Probably for the best, especially because you can fire it at the ground with . to avoid blowing yourself up with it. edit: if you don't like wear-IDing things/curses, go play Hellcrawl.

I feel like you want the cursed brands to have some potential upside, simply because there should be some niche cases that can use a cursed weapon to their benefit. Alternatively, keep the current brands but have cursed versions apply some sort of malus/debuff to the wielder: Cursed freezing prevents potion drinking ala Ozocubu's Refridgeration, cursed flaming has a chance to explode in a fireball on hit, cursed speed has a chance to haste the target on hit, and so on.

someone awful. posted:these are all insanely dangerous and i would absolutely never, ever, ever wield-ID a weapon without remove curse around again if they were the case I don't know about the coding feasibility of "new brands" or "cursed things work like this", but I feel like there's enough design space to come up with "potentially useful but deadly enough that you don't want to use it unless you're feeling lucky" solutions. I view it like eating the purple: Not optimal by any stretch of the means, but can pay off in a gamble. If it's not worth it from the developer standpoint, so be it. I'd much rather gamble on "okay, this +3 dagger has a non-zero chance to explode on me if I hit something with it, let's see if I can find remove curse before it kills me" as opposed to "oops, I wield-ID'd a -3 short sword, time to flail ineffectively until I find remove curse".

Captainsalami posted:So I haven't played or won in ages. Since I got the fencers gloves in my box what weapon type should I go? Short answer: A non-Long Blade. Long answer: Long Blades come with riposte by default, I don't think they stack, so using a Long Blade (that isn't a game winning one by default) is counterproductive. Ripostes can trigger weapon effects, so something nifty (Arc Blade, distortion, vampirism) can trigger really quick if you're surrounded. Make sure you have a bit of EV, since riposte only triggers on dodging a hit, not blocking or just armor tanking it. Comedy answer: Grab an amulet of the acrobat and the dark maul. Don't intentionally swing at people. The dark maul is slow but ripostes are instant. edit: if the gloves and the sword stack, I'm going to feel real dumb every time I went "I don't need those gloves, I have a long blade".

Araganzar posted:You really made up a lot of time in extended though, you got to Lair pretty slowly compared to your end turns and also had to back track to slime. Decent run for the server overall, actually. I think part of that is going in with the standard route I usually follow and then realizing "Wait, I could do this way faster". My usual route is a lot of backtracking and grossly underestimating my actual equipment. And wow, I feel really dumb. Reaaaaally dumb, especially all the times I had both Singing Sword and Fencing Gloves.

Einwand posted:I wonder what the "best" start for a 15 rune high score would be, I'd guess an archeologist getting a singing sword from the box would be extremely far up there. Singing Sword Arga or Arc Blade Zephyr or Penetrator Elemental Staff in that order, I think. Zephyr and Penetrator are arguable just because you're required to go Okawaru for the first chunk of the game in order to have a good ammo supply. Elemental Staff falls behind in the damage department but you're covering so many resists and defenses that I feel obligated to mention it.

I tried a run with Trog and I found you had to be very sparing with the healing ability to conserve piety so you don’t miss out on gifts. Also can’t really use Trogbros for the same reason. And so outside of Trog there’s really no other option but Makhleb or Necromancy? It also sucks that the axe aptitude is just 1, wasn’t it higher in the past? *yells "Gozag!" from under a mountain of gold and chugging five potions a turn from petition abuse*
