Are you sure? I tested it a couple of times previous to me dying while being in the water and that didn't happen. It exploded into lightning, fire and gunpowder and I guess some lightning stuff fell into the water?

Well this is a stroke of luck. Toxic sludge + water + dirt/mud? I am immediately going to gently caress this up :)

No idea. The first enemy I saw ws the flying toxic assholes and they left a pool. I shot some water into it to dilute it and it turned into alchemic precursor then it started turning into midas draught.

I found an 'always cast boomerang' wand with shuffle earlier. It had toxic mist on it. Want to guess what happened when I test fired it? I never ran for a portal so fast in my loving life.

I had a pretty boss wand the other day. Explosion on slime, slime cloud and double cast death cross with gunpowder trail. I of course totally loving beansed it but it ripped poo poo apart.

I went back up thrrough the ice cave to the first level and got the orb above the mountain and just decided to keep flying up with some polymorph juice.

Plague rats and hissi bosses are fun because he just keeps spawning more chumbos and that spawns more rats so you just get a swimming pool of gold, blood, bodies & rats all having a swell time.

toxic sludge is one of the things that annoys me the most. The sludge bastard enemies taking 3 hits in the first level while at the same time spraying sludge over every surface and if you accidentally get a pixels worth on you then you have to stop and douse yourself in water otherwise you're easily taking 10 damage.

Oh man did you find out how to fix this? It’s been a huge issue for me but didn’t see anyone else mention it so I thought it was an idiosyncratic hardware issue.

I turned my sampling rate from 48 to 96khz and it just disappeared.

Found a wand on the mines and went "huh, why is that sawblade bigger than usu- oh gently caress it's coming back at me"

Not sure about the random loadout on regular runs, having to empty and fill a flask with water if you don't spawn with one just so you dont get hosed by fire or toxic is a bit of a pain in the rear end.

yeah I think random starts either need to go or make it so you always start with a water flask and keep the random wands. So many times now I've accidentally stood in some sludge and it's like welp, guess I'm taking 20 damage because I can't douse myself and the RNG didn't spawn much water in this level.

What's stopping you from emptying the starting flask and filling it up with water from the guaranteed water pool like 10 meters to the left from the spawn location?

Yes the game should have arbitrary busywork at the start based on luck.

Which is made way worse if you either don't spawn with a flask that can clear sludge/fire or get barely any water pools. It's a totally uncessary difficulty ramp for the first area. If I start a run with bounce shot and a bad flask I just hit restart before I've even gone down the ramp.

not if you get a crappy low rof wand or you only spawn with one spell on the wand.
