/rlg/ - Roguelike General

that stuff is inevadible shittery irregardlessly of time of day

Take him if you get an early altar or double back after you kickstart some defense. Then just kill the dudes as a dude with a dude of stats on your dudely back. Bend time on any non-trivial threat to slow it. Even works on pan lords with enough power. Temporal distortion to juggle ranged guys closer. Slouch fast shit if you can't wreck it. Always keep the mp for twoish step from time.

Yeah. The curve falls off around 6/7 muts and you often gain more than you lose.

I was using my rod of detect monsters actively, it is likely Borel was fast enough to dash in after a few steps outside detect radius. I tried to teleport with my stave but failed.
>you fail to use your device properly

Lord Borel on depth 35 it pretty bullshit, I say.

I'm playing a sexy character, so (massively) OOD monsters are much more dangerous.

As far as I know, /rlg/ is considered to be one of the most on-topic of Veeky Forums's generals. I think the shitposting has gotten worse over the past several months, though, but that's for all I have been here, for all that I can observe and conclude.

roguelite is more cancerous than tummyposting

found the tummyposter

how the fuck does xom even work

And I'm aware I tried to move twice. Thats because I had no expectations of sudden OOD uniques (note I did use a rod of detect monster) and was intent to walk down a gods damn hallway.

is gsg that bad?

I only frequent one other general that appears to be free of all cancer, but I'm not going to name it.

I've been playing DCSS on and off for over 6 years, now, and I've never figured out the deal with decks and Nemleh Zoblex.

We should hold a referendum on roguelite discussion in the roguelike general

strawpoll.me/11786010

what's wrong with metaposting

>Lord Borel on depth 35 it pretty bullshit, I say.
That's actually his native depth.

use shift-move instead of mashing your keys dumas

/gsg/ is an utter shitshow. The only time people discuss games is to mock someone for being new or to meme about Vicky2 liquor. This thread is paradise in comparison, even with the meta- and tummyposting.

>mfw confuse an orc warlord and he falls into the water and drowns

>mfw enslave dowan and force duvessa to kill him with her own hands

>mfw stick her behind a slowed kobold in a hallway to let her berserk impotently expire, then killing her

>mfw paralyzing the lead gnoll in a pack in a hallway and raining acid down on them all

artificer's the life for me lads

Doing what you complain about is sad. The general is for talking about games like rogue. Roguelites have zero business in it because they're here to talk about rogue and games that give the rogue experience. Something roguelites don't do. Either make a new general for them, make /v/ threads or be a mature adult about it like everyone else that eats shit and use reddit to talk about it.

Jesus. ive only ever encountered him around Dragon's Lair before. He's x99 more dangerous than any other unique at that depth, id rather face Morganne le Fae or Mordred.

Never heard of this before, how does it vary from generic movement? Moving one square at a time sounds like the most arduous shit in the world.

Also:
>Dumas
How did you know?

What are some good Pokemon roguelikes?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK

it runs in a direction until you see a thing

press shift L in a left-moving corridor and your little babby @ will move all the way to the other end of the corridor, unless @ sees a monster and gets scared

>press shift L in a left-moving corridor and your little babby @ will move all the way to the other end of the corridor, unless @ sees a monster and gets scared
Thanks, ill have to remember that when I get less salty and come back for another assbeating.

Most of my problems could probably be avoided by not playing sexy characters, but god damn I'm determined to win as one.

>that one Sewer with Grinder and the kobold demonologist
How can one even deal with it?

>grinder
go out the entrance you came in, unless you love dying to rng instakill

percent resist chance MR is a Good Mechanic (tm)

There are none. If you want a shin-megami-tensei clone there's Demon. If you want a turn based pokemon themed dungeon crawler you can play pokemon mystery dungeon

many ways, depending on your character

>tfw no new Demon until 12/11

I hear if you delete your starter demon on turn 1 and and win the game without ever linking with a demon you'll receive an email with a prerelease build

dude

brb trying this

You get mutations along with interesting and tactical situations

Don't tempt me

You play a scummy cummy tummy mummy of Xom and savescum until you get to the third floor of the lair branches and have rF+. Then go to temple and hold autorest to pass 1.8 million turns for Xom gifts while listening to audiobooks or podcasts. Whenever summons come just go up the stairs. Then you have 200k turns to go win.

The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long
like tears in the rain

That's not how that metaphor goes you faggot

AND DEMON IS NOT DEAD (I'll get around to editing this image later)

kobold demonologist is frail, so if you can ambush him from around a corner, you can finish him quickly before he starts summoning

grinder is another problem, but he falls to the same rules; ambush him and get him in melee

you should have a zerk pot by this point

Too bad that's gonna change because of a very motivated shitposter, as always

How is this allowed

reforging a lance doesn't make it any heavier user

most of maulers' damage is based on weight.

Top down invariably looks terrible.

How the FUCK do I get into PCB? It's like reading runes

Use look and monsters/items in view a lot. Everyone has a rough time with their first but after a lot of the glyphs carry over.

vanilla angband is the one with the runes user

pcb still has the old ?id/*id* system

Yeah but what do I DO

Start with msvcr100.dll

Read the pastebin you quadruple dodecagiganigga. It gives you the lowdown on what to roll and where to go when. I followed it and got my first win in under 400 hours

I know but that's taking me a while and I thought I could get some quick tips out here

Listen here you little shit. The quality of your experience can be fast, cheap, or good and you only get to pick two. Put in your time to do it right or it's going to tear out your ass and impregnate you.

The pastebin has a quick start guide in it which is still largely accurate aside from the presence of dungeon entrance guardians.

Here's the most basic starting ctions
-with your starting fund, by basic armor from the armor shop
-with the rest of the money, buy teleport scrolls and healing items (cure serious wounds is fairly economical)
-take the Thieves Quest and level up a few times there.

if you have a ranged attack, spend all your starting money on teleport scrolls and head south to find a 2headed hydra to pick on for F R E E X P

Wrong

thiefquest is better of course but mages are often too pathetic and weak to take it at level 1

Hydra no sud del natre cont welc sam esser del Morivant quencha na kita wa Outpost. Kita no amer enflat purcel del chikara.
