Has anyone tested out the new wands in trunk, like wand of scattershot or whatever?
What do you think of them?
Jason Ramirez
aren't they just the rods of iron/clouds in a new form?
Brayden Thomas
How do I get good at Caves of Qud?
Owen Butler
Ye, but those rods are fairly rare so it would be interesting to see if the wands are more common to find and how strong 1 charge of it is, especially since they don't recharge naturally now.
Hudson Bennett
Are you asking how to get Caves of Gud?
Caleb Jenkins
no scattershot or inaccuracy or shadows now all we get is wand of iron, wand of clouds
they're just their rod equivalent in easy to use wand form, limited use but effective even without skill
you'll hold on to clouds because you think to yourself that this may be useful against some really high EV monsters sometime while you get your 30-30-30 tabtabtab
and when you pause at newbie friendly 50% and contemplate your options, you'll look over your inventory and think about that wand of clouds then aa ab tabtabtab
in summary, nothing has changed except those that cared to have fun with style points swapping rods around will be playing DCSS a bit less now

Happy new year! Wish you all to not splat as much, all the best and lots of good randarts! And remember, take it easy and learn from your splats!
Ayden Rivera
What an adventure. MuEE, wanted to try faded altar for fun and got Trog. I then autoexplore into a Sif vault, get immediately confused before I can input, then eat shit for two turns before getting roasted. Happy new year.
Jose Martinez
Making my way down Vaults otabbing fast Sentinels pass And I'm rune bound
Evan Turner
I hate d:1 mage starts so fucking much, how is this even winnable without going into unexplored terrain and waking up even more enemies.
Julian Miller
Alright. I'll assure you all that my next victory will not be of a dark/ice orb of power character.
Ian Wilson
tabbing numbly away just tabbing my way tabbing a way through the dungeon

Made by more than one guy.
Jayden Morgan
why are there three enemies in vision at once user you are supposed to walk BACKWARDS when you see an enemy, not charge forwards to maximize the chances of meeting his hobgoblin and dart slug buddies
Hunter Long
coded by one single dev. thays what matters
Aaron Stewart
but that requires pressing more keys than tab
Camden Gomez
seriously why does tab move towards enemies by default
there are like no situations where you want to move with tab other than killing a D:1 bat that keeps fluttering out of melee range
Chase Johnson
Pretty sure he said in one of his posts/interviews that at least one guy other guy writes with him.
Plus, DF isn't really a good example. It has worse design than any of the roguelikes and almost-roguelikes allowed on /rlg/, including Dredmor, and all the fun comes from the game mode that is nothing like roguelikes.
Jack Roberts
Anybody have a list of DCSS monsters by speed?
Jose Ortiz
That's not even bad. Gnoll packs and cattleprods on D:1 for any **Wi is just fucking insta-splat.
It's annoying, but that's not even my issue with wizard starts. My issue with wizard starts is the complete lack of an AC breaker of any kind without getting lucky on books.
Replace Slow with Bolt of Magma so Wizards stop getting walled by Orc Knights/Death Yaks because they can't get a book drop worth a damn.

I'm insanely drunk and it's only going to get worse
be my hands, /rlg/
Jeremiah Cruz
What's the point of the alter reality spell in *band? Does it have any use, any use at all, outside some kind of ironman game?
Charles Anderson
never really critical, it's a minor quality of life thing especially if you have potions or castable enlightenment so that you can hunt for vaults, but even so you can just use recall to regenerate the dungeon.
Parker Baker
>being so drunk you type the wrong server
it's CBRO, you hobo
Samuel Kelly
you know what man
quit giving me a hard time
Jose Hill
happy new year dumb akari poster
Charles Anderson
it gives the same effect as recalling to town and back would, so no it's not very useful unless you use the ironman option that disables town
Charles James
I will probably be asleep later, so congratulations, /rlg/!

i use everything i can at the slightest hint i can die in every rl. considered hoarding more but its just like the **** is the point for waiting for near death later if i may die now

Is there any situational use I might have for a potion of ambrosia? Right now, I'm in Depths before taking on Vaults:5, and I'm pretty bulky (38 AC, decent resistances). Really scratching my head trying to think of a scenario where they'd be useful to me.
Dylan Powell
When you tele out of bad situation on low health and need to quickly heal before anything spots you.
Charles Nguyen
aaaaand literally the next floor of Depths, my lack of rElec almost killed me, and I find myself wishing I'd kept those ambrosia potions.
Fuck.
Bentley Garcia
You're not playing a caster or vinestalker or Chei so you never need them
Jordan Moore
Can you cancel the confusion with curing? I had some success with Sublimation + Regeneration for Abyss healing, but if Ambrosia can be canceled in emergencies it might be safer.
Nolan Adams
yes you can, but the confusion and the regen are tied together so you'll stop healing as well
ambrosia is strongest in the early game when the regen is high enough that you can just facetank enemies with it on
Michael Lewis
Possibly worth the inventory slot then, although I'm still not sure it's worth the additional risk. Sublimation can occasionally do 50% HP damage or so, but taking two turns to escape also seems dangerous. And I only have a limited supply of Ambrosia anyway.
Anthony Scott
taking two turns to escape?
you would probably just drink it while waiting for ?tele to go off in the mid to lategame. it won't heal fast enough to get you out of a sticky situation on its own
Justin Richardson
The diggermaster's true power is not having to bother with finding stairs.
Cameron Cruz
>can't kill them >can't get books >can't get xp

Christopher Jenkins
One to unconfuse, one to escape e.g. cBlink.
Noah Diaz

Logan Lee
Wiki says "Blinking will always be random, regardless of source". I haven't personally checked this.
Luke Brooks
I haven't played crawl in a long time. Can you still do the deep water trick as a MfAK?
Kevin Martin
>wikitavernshitter in charge of playing the game
Tyler Carter
what? don't drink ambrosia in situations where you will need to immediately unconfuse
Jordan Jackson
burglars and sorcery casters can create stairs too
makes Dark Cave 999999x less annoying since you can just dive to the bottom
Nicholas Murphy
If it's safe enough to do that then it's probably safe enough for Sublimation of Blood + Regen, which doesn't burn consumables and doesn't delay you for a turn while you unconfuse.
Julian Ross
Sometimes being an unarmed user is suffering when you get such good loot that early and can't use it.
Camden Moore
>same number on all apts >8/8/8 I r8 8/8
Call me when you finally grow a brain to intelligently design a species
Jose Turner
Yaweh here. You called?
Chase Roberts
it restores hp much faster than the regen spell
if you have regen castable there's just about no point where you should be in a fight without it active though, and ambrosia stacks with it
again, it isn't for refilling your hp bar and going back into the fight anew, except at low levels when you have a smallish hp bar
you use the healing to buy time when you don't mind being confused but need to wait for something, usually a teleport
Angel Ross
>if you have regen castable there's just about no point where you should be in a fight without it active As a Spriggan, starvation is a real possibility. Regen makes me use 5 times as much food (proportionally bigger impact on Spriggans than any other species) so I don't like to use it all the time.
Julian Myers
ok correction >if you have regen castable and aren't playing one of the 2 things that hunger actually matters for (sp and gozag)
It was kind of pathetic to see people whining about why BOI isn't talked about here in the previous thread
Hunter Davis
Happy new Year of the dong!
Remember, if you play roguelikes on the first of the year, you play roguelikes all year. And today is a sorcery sunday, too! I hope you cast a lot of neat spells today and throughout the year!
Jayden Hernandez
If their game was worth discussing they'd have their own general.
Colton Nelson
they had one
long ago it merged with the nuclear throne general to become /lite/
/lite/ exclusively posted about Gungeon for a few weeks and then died amidst cries of "thiccccccccccc"
Ian Lopez
Let us not have a repeat of last year's thread, shall we?
Dylan Howard
what happened last year, senpai? i haven't been in /rlg/ that long

Horrible, horrible things my child. Some of them were even not roguelikes! Yes, I know that might scare you, but I think everyone should know the truth.

Have you ever tried ADoM? The public release version I mean.

doesn't that give temporary cleave?
