Alright, how do I play MfGl^Qaz?
Every melee class just feels like tabbing
It's kinda ambiguous to me.
Why are so many rolls in DCSS 1dx? Do they like things to be unreliable?
the dark souls of roguelikes...!!! it's good!
never leave staircase
the glorious Qazloud will helpfully make enough noise to attract everything on the level
did you know the effect of fighting skill on damage is a multiplicatoin by 1+ 1d(fighting)/30

dark souls IS a roguelike user
>no procedural generation
>not turnbased
>no permadeath
go away and take your wrong opinions with you
What if I don't have Qaz yet
uh, then play like a gladiator? train tablord skills, hid bad man with pointy end of trident, throw nets at scary shit
when you get qaz do the same thing but with more invo training and upheaval instead of nets

This vault never fails to make me sad. The other 2 staircases are in that stupid lava snake vault.
Post links you nerd
For fuck's sake RIP Bilbo
Were you able to successfully solve the puzzle of that room?

Welcome to Lair
I'm on berotato if that is what you mean.
>name probably really isn't even jose
>probably doesn't even play games from his couch
now that i think of it, are there any let's play fags who are morbidly obese as a gimmick?
Thanks
>that filename and picture
Brilliant.
Someone is playing the Circus Animal fork, and they've gone Sifmuna. It turns out that everything in your LoS just vanishes once your Shatter spellpower is around 750.
crawl.project357.org
>ac: 122
Did they nerf AC in circus animals?
I dunno. I think his AC is so high because the AC boost from statueform is based on spellpower, and his is ridiculous.
So, at what point should I drop trog in this madhouse and for whom?
and now he's killing cerebov
>LCS does 577 damage to fucking cerebov
Jesus this fork seems ridicolous
This is simply how non-tryhards play
>AC: 9
>EV: 11
I think the dev turned off the diminishing returns for spellpower and increased the spellpower cap from 200 to 999
Are we hype for the headless new DCSS race?
>SH:40
>those resists
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Turns out all the MUH FLAVOR fags just wanted easymode all along
???
How do you know which wands to keep? Shit is filling up my inventory at times and I just drop stupid shit like acid, flame, etc.
...
if the name isn't yellow it goes in the trash
>acid
>stupid
keep tele/haste/heal/digging/disint/acid if you have no evo
keep all if you have evo
not being able to recognize jokes or sarcasm is one of the warning signs for autism
When do you actually use disint and digging? I almost always have them, but I don't use them since it's just not an option in my mind.
You determine how high your evocations is, and if it's not significantly higher than your other skills, you drop all the MR-check wands (except disintegration, since it gets a bonus to beat MR).
Next, check your floor. If it's Lair or beyond, drop Flame and Frost. Now check your inventory space. Do you still need room? Drop disintegrate and your bolt wands, except Acid and Draining(a damage effect+debuff with no save is always worth keeping).
>I don't use them
>digging
>not an option
user...
I bet it could have saved me a ton of times! I'll never know though since I never think of it when I'm in a pinch!
you use digging to set up a killhole or just blast open walls instead of going around them. it's really useful in open areas with diggable borders like lair and its branches
>playing thunderdome as DsBe
>Round 5: Boss round
>expecting witch or a low level unique
>fucking You See the Lernaean Hydra
What in gods name was I expected to do in that situation? I ran as many bros as I could spawn into it and nothing. And then red wasps came out and paralyzed me making it impossible to run.
That sounds definitely more useful than running and hoping to find a hall.
Dicks would energyscum it with a dwhip and haste/finesse.
Do fountains even do anything
>Headless race
Headless skeleton race inbound. Praise be to MarvinPA, removal be thy name.
Depends on the game.
In DCSS they used too.
>tfw all the dumb mibe's splat with 20 AC+, 20 EV+ characters and leave spooky antimagic ghosts
We need a double minotaur race for bad players.
So...gargoyle?
>acid and draining
those wands have never existed at the same time
this is like suggesting a Vine Stalker Stalker as an easy beginner combo
Oh, you thought I wouldn't recognize that ebin reddit feels meme face you asshole?
Kill yourself.
Then why does my local copy of crawl have both?
Well, Mi has a good +30% hp on Gr.
lolwut
meme's, are actually, bad
>dropping disint
Don't do that user, how will you perfectly chisel your killholes without both the 1 range and the LOS range options?
Stop it with the shitposting, man.
but shitposting on rlg is all i have
i can't play mountain dwarves
i can't scum 555
i can't even pudding farm or abuse elbereth any more
>shoot a zombie hollow because he's got too much jelly for my spear to be effective
>like four spiders dig over, pop out and start biting as I try to butcher it
Forget hordes, these spiders are the real thing to watch out for with noise.

The cool thing about roguelikes is you can pretty much always play all the old versions with very little hassle.
You can do all those things though. You just have to play on easy mode, or atleast play old versions of all those games.
Find something else to do. Fly away, Stanley! Be free!
They just keep coming.

>Hepliaklqanal now gives innate frail 1 on worship; this persists even after abandonment, until the god is mollified.
>There is no longer an EV penalty for taking stairs, but the process of climbing/descending stairs now takes slightly longer.
>Sustain Attributes (the ring, Dg innate, etc) is no more. Most stat-draining effects have been reduced to compensate.
>rN has been reworked. Various effects (e.g. vampirism, pain) that were 100% resisted by a single level of rN now require 3 levels; rN provides 50%, 75%, and 100% immunity to them at rN+/++/+++, as with damage. The Agony effect now works like Torment, and goes down to 45%/40%/35% hp damage at rN+/++/+++.
>Warp Weapon and the Akashic Record have been removed.
>Necromancers’ Bind Souls now creates simulacra, not spectral things. This will, ideally, increase player deaths.
>Book amnesia (the ability to forget spells by destroying a book that contains them) has been forgotten, and also removed from the game.
>Paralysis and Confusion can no longer last for 50-100 turns when cast on monsters. (Players had, and have, a different formula that gives considerably shorter durations.)
Its been quite a while since we had an update that didn't actually include a new thing.
>Warp Weapon and the Akashic Record have been removed.
for what fucking purpose
I like how Richard Stallman tricked all the nerds into adopting this weird "open source" ideology, and they don't even bother to benefit from it.
How are you supposed to learn cBlink if the akashic record has been removed?
...
I am starting a game on rlgrobin right now, on berotato, playing on trunk.
I will win with 15 runes, using the ancestor god Hepl, on a troll monk.
Here is the watch link:
crawl.berotato.org:8080
done
mmm, d1 troll otabbing
captivating
Reminder to save a scroll of familiar summoning for D:50
they should've just made rN a single pip like elec and pois, randarts generate with like 2-3 pips at a much higher rate than rF/rC anyway don't they?
>Hepliaklqanal now gives innate frail 1 on worship
What the fuck am I reading
>now that we've removed feature A, feature B no longer serves a purpose
Very cool. Did you raise only int?
I don't think so? I've never heard anyone mention that.
Good thing HP doesn't matter huh.
It's largely confirmation bias, but I've seen a ton of rN++ or rN+++ artifacts.
Hep really needed a nerf, and this is better than making your stand weaker.
i've just personally found plenty of randarts with rN++ or +++ and very rarely see rF/rC++, and only once saw rC+++
Yeah, since wasting stats for Str and Dex only makes your spells weaker
how about if your stand dies you die
That'd be so shit.
but hep now gives an extra 20% more HP for worshipping him
>the Akashic Record have been removed
AHAHAHA soon they will remove cBlink! HAIL THE DEVS The future is bright!
nice tabbing champ
Got too excited and killed myself with immolation buffoonery. W H O O P S
>walk away for 5 minutes and rlgrobin literally explodes himself
What the hell happened?
did you get to V:5 already
i didn't think people actually used ?immo anywhere other than there and maybe TJR cheese
>using ?immo at all
hilarious how people keep on falling for noob traps like !ligni and ?immo
?immo can be worth it if you've got rF++ or better.
still wouldn't take it. i can't think of a way to make that work that isn't incredibly stupid (stand max level = 27, stand has 200% HP)
i wouldn't be surprised, seeing as it exists as a scroll and is really really good post -cTele
!ligni owns
