In which the denizens waste their lives arguing about whether using an imaginary item on their imaginary character on their pointless three year old singleplayer videogame challenge.
I've read the IVAN pastebin and some of the wiki but I still cannot get past Level 2 - always hitting some insane difficulty spike like leprosy or acute poison or exploding dude.
Colton Watson
did you cut off your head

Overall IVAN is incredibly spoiler-heavy if you want to win not relying mostly on RNG. Read the wiki, don't torture yourself with muh discovery.
Ayden Wright
but spoilers are half the fun
Luis Bennett
>muh discovery
The greatest thing about bloated roguelikes is playing without spoilers because you eventually come up with techniques and detailed info not found in any wiki or other places of discussion. You can enjoy being the special snowflake only if you work hard
Caleb Cook
Having to figure out stupid bullshit like god timeouts, which activity grinds which stat and how much, how does the meme scaling system work and how to not get fucked over by it, how do god offerings work etc. is totally not fun and totally worth skipping.
Elijah Edwards
Yeah I was pressing everything on the keyboard
Daniel Smith
Yeah but how do I earn gold?
Cooper Rogers
Reach the second city first
Henry Russell
grab a copper/bronze/iron/anything pickaxe from UC. They almost always spawn. Pray to loricatus until he turns it into damascus steel. Go down UC:2 and dig in the empty room with a block of rock in the middle. Discover stairs. Go down stairs. Mine crystals. Sell crystals to shopkeeper in capital. Keep one as infinite and lightweight and unbreakable lightsource.
Thomas Green
>Go down UC:2 and dig in the empty room with a block of rock in the middle. >spot one crystal golem >it spots you >if you go upstairs, it follows you and gets the first turn >it hits you, most likely in the torso, exploding it instantly It's much better to just sell shit you come across than risking the crystals. They don't sell for much anyway.
Evan Collins
he said he didn't want to have spoilers
William James
>Nethack was released 30 years ago >It's still the best roguelike Where did everything go so wrong
Cooper Nelson
What is "UC" and "UC2"? How do I stop starving to death?
Landon Brooks
UT underwater cave or tunnel whateve
Hudson Thompson
I can only visit a cave next to New Attnam. How do I get a boat?
Noah Wood
>How do I get a boat? are you literally retarded
Nolan Baker
??? It's a normal question, sperg.
Luis Reed
I want to become a greater player in Minotaur or Gargoyle. Which one should I go for?
Grayson Barnes
u dont get a boat fking retard
Jose Green
hmm or maybe Draconian, hard to choose
Hudson Scott
So answer it like a white person you fucking schizo
Eli Mitchell
>It's a D:3 water mocassin episode What the christ.
Jackson Adams
Whichever you enjoy the most
Nolan Cooper
Are you going to do 27 trog runs
Thomas Foster
I think I enjoy Mi the most. But I think I might get burned out since they really can't do anything but be a fighter, so any of the magic and stealth backgrounds is just a MiBe with a harder start. While gargoyles and Dracos are a bit weaker up close, they do have some more variety... On the other hand switching up gods/weapon styles might be enough to keep Mi fresh
Cameron Powell
Does anyone ever sacrifice dodge, MR or resistances with ru
Jaxson Stewart
Read the fucking wiki Don't pretend to avoid spoilers when you're asking people to spoonfeed you
Brody Gomez
greaterplayer is all races and all backgrounds won you mean greatrace do mummies
Aiden Martinez
I sacrifice dodging or MR because I don't train/need it anyway
Ethan Foster
But i never said i avoid spoilers
Ethan White
Half the wiki is empty and there's some autist answering instead of me
Brody Robinson
Resistances is like 4* piety right away, really worth it
Nathaniel Campbell
There's enough to get the basics.
Nathaniel Bennett
swords or maces on a formicid?
Carter Rogers
this maces
James Collins
But there can only be 1 greater mummy
Bentley Sanchez
What about lesbian families
Liam Parker
No mummys or daddies in a lesbian family, because they can't have kids
Robert Morales
They aren't playing mumo because they consume a lot of consumables.
Gabriel Ward
but there are tummies
Blake Barnes
AROUND YAKS
Cooper Wright
No tummies in /rlg/ please. Tummies are bloat.
Ethan Jones
Problem with crawl is that stats are basically useless
Evan Walker
>bloated tummies m-more
Logan Howard
>the many ways to serve yak
please do not bloat the tummies, that's lewd.
Jack Martin
nah tummies are tight yet soft
Julian Campbell
I wouldn't call them with the diminutive name. Have you seen a lesbian couple? They tend to weigh more than bear couples. Grizzly bear couples.
Brandon James
NEVER RELAKS
Justin Cooper
A minute of silence for our dead comrades
Carter Morgan
what is this memery level 8 fire single school spell called ignition is it like lcs single target fire rape or what
Sebastian Gomez
tummies are for gentle massage, not for bloat you 2 (two) int minoghoul
Austin Flores
Died to an ancient lich and his two fiend buddies in Crypt earlier today.
Remember rod of ignition? It's like that, except it triggers on every enemy in LoS instead of one line.
Ian Jones
smite targeted fireball on every single enemy in los
Jeremiah Green
Why is a deep dwarf 52 AC 20 EV not enough to tab that elf:3 corridor? I don't understand, it's not like my battleaxe +3 elec is lacking
Angel Davis
>20ev
Noah Flores
>tab elf:3
Aiden Adams
>52 AC just quit BG2, reading this feels weird
Juan Adams
>hurr why can't I tab a whole buncha smiters & spell casters
Bentley Robinson
>smite >mattering against deep dorfs damage shaving still is a thing
Jonathan Hall
he clearly died to smite
Jack Martin
DDs ignore smite
Blake Sanders
HE LITERALLY DIED TO SMITE YOU GOAT FUCKER
Wyatt Perry
DDs dont really care about smite
Cameron Miller
Point still stands. That's probably one of the weakest damage in an elf:3 corridor
Jason Richardson
INVOVKED DIVINE PROVIDENCE
DEAD Every fking turn eating 30 damage of spites eventually kills you
Bentley Butler
You still need to manage LOS in order to avoid unnecessary smiting, user.
Colton Butler
Yeah its definitely the smite and not the shit ton of hellfire, torment, lcs and acid bolts flying around No deep dwarves have to be afraid of smite
Cooper Stewart
You won't be hellfired or tormented if vulnerable people are in the line of fire. LCS and acid bolt he has to be adjacent in order for them to shoot it since he's in a corridor.
Jaxson Fisher
>you won't be tormented if vulnerable people are in the line of fire.
lol
Michael Brooks
just found the culprit lads
Colton Turner
>You won't be hellfired or tormented if vulnerable people are in the line of fire. you'd better not be so sure about that, especially when a deep elf demonologist summons something funny
Owen Thomas
Yeah that'll do it.
Joshua Watson
What the FUCK is this shit now
John Roberts
have fun
Henry Foster
Do you guys play online or on webtiles? And why?
Zachary Martin
use t-t to lure the animals
Hudson Hernandez
I get so horny that I lose my focus ingame when people watch me with their dirty and lewd eyes so I don't play online
Nolan Bailey
i usually do online console, mostly because it keeps records and keeps itself up to date
Nolan Parker
>edmund turns into a steam dragon when he's 1 hit from death >full hp >on D:4
Josiah Long

Cameron Jones
>edmund turns into a steam dragon stop playing with chaos weapons.
