>incursion 2 will never happen

Incursion 1 didn't even happen

Someone should captain a second team.
We always end up having more than six people who want to play.
Captaining is easy, you just have to find the members and then add a couple lines to your .rc before the tourney starts.

because it was going to be made open world with a surface map.

incursion: in the halls of the goblin king was a demo of the game he intended to make, with the hall of the goblin king being a major dungeon thereof.

the developer got into a crash on his bicycle and his legs got all fucked up, and then got infected and he got in a bad way.

what a dipshit

It's sad because Incursion is the game I always wanted, literally just the right amount of autism

ARE WE HYPE FOR THE TOURNAMENT
NO MORE EASY TOMB FOR THE FAGS

Add me

just play ghoul of makhleb

what a stupid faggot

Yes, but I feel like .20 if the first release where it was a step backward. It'll be suffering.

>being a 15rune pleb

It's even worse if you realize that Wu Jian and Gnolls arent even in the tournament

This commit removes the Gnoll aptitude system in order to replace it with
a different main feature: locked, low stats.

This version of Gnoll has +3 in every aptitude at all skill levels, unlike
the previous system which reduced the effective aptitude as more skill
levels were gained. In order to compensate, Gnolls have a base stat line
of 5 Str/5 Int/5 Dex. Additionally, these stats cannot be changed by any
source, temporary or permanent. For example, Gnolls cannot gain stats
from backgrounds, potions of might/brilliance/agility, Cheibriados, or
changing forms. Likewise, they cannot lose stats from stat drain or have
their stats shifted by Jiyva. This is an alternative approach to
encouraging adaptability and flexibility through being a generalist over a
specialist.

Balancing mechanics from previous iterations of Gnoll (like lower MR
growth) have been temporarily reverted to start balance testing from a
clean slate. They may be re-introduced at a later time if necessary or
interesting.

Do you think you'll be able to get two wins?

Wow good potion.

wins are fking easy

How exactly does this stop you from going 27fire for firestorm

Guess who went down the stairs in Lonely Mountain and immediately entered an arena room which must've been full of dark elven warlocks and sorcerers. This guy did!

In other news non-lucky personalities suck so unbelievably hard I'm not going to play one until Chris or someone else revamps the entire system

I've said it before, nothing will get fixed until /rlg/PCB gets made

whoops, behold the full story

I told floatrand ages ago if he'd just put the easy mode options in PCB-R on a toggle, we'd be in business

This is degenerate.

Are they just content to freeze to death?

how do i change rc file on webtiles again

you click the link for it

Yeah they just chill there.
Beside the version link there is a link to edit your rc.

>combat personality now gets +0.10 attacks every 5 levels and permanent heroism after killing Combat Echizen
>sexy makes shopkeep prices cheaper and gives a chance to convert enemy summons

Someone do the rest

What do you guys think of the new crawl gnoll concept?

How have you been, /rlg/? Anything interesting happen over the last couple months?

2 new crawl species and a new god

I had sex

Combat change sounds good.
You can't convert enemy summons with permaaggro, the shopkeeper price change is good though. Sexy doesn't really need to be buffed.
Lucky loses the huge device and melee bonuses, just has decent ones instead.
Patient gets a fucking astronomical saving throw bonus, like [M tier and slightly less shitty melee and devices, in addition to 103% life.
Nimble gets a fuckhuge stealth bonus and good bows.
Mighty gets bonus slaying on attacks in addition to their higher life rating of 103%.
Pious gets increased mana capacity and good melee skills.
Ordinary gets slightly better skills.
Craven gets the cowardly mutation effect and gets huge devices, good wisdom, and int.
Lazy is fine.
Shrewd gets better fail rate bonuses and no life penalty.
It's better, but still shit.

New MuMo ascension, and probably the only one that followed all of the rules.

Instead of granting passive mutation resistance and a capstone curemut
ability, Zin will periodically remove mutations from worshippers.

With the recent !mutation change, the only way Zinites can remove
mutations is Zin's capstone ability. Any mutations gained after using
this ability must be kept "for life" (or by changing to another god,
quaffing !mutation and then changing back to Zin, which is fiddly).

A lot of the justification for reworking !mutation also applies to
changing how Zin works. Zin is currently a way to "opt out" of the
mutation game (however imperfectly this works in practice, as above),
which isn't that interesting a benefit of worshipping them. Zinites
simply ignore tactical positioning against malmutators. Replacing rMut
with slower mutation removal means that Zin reduces, but doesn't
completely eliminate the cost of positioning mistakes against
malmutators.

The mutation removal frequency is meant to be significantly higher
than weapon gifts from Trog/Okawaru, but not as frequent as mutation
gifts from Jiyva (the timeout is the same, but counts down 25% slower
Jiyva skips the gift timeout slowdown).

Mutation cleansing starts at 0*, to prevent any possibility for players
to want to keep their piety below a certain threshold.

Are they any good? How long until they are removed?

Congrats on the sex, user.

Who was this true pharaoh?

we've had some crazy arguments about the stupidest things while you were away

This set of commits changes spellbooks to function like gold, runes and the orb. Instead of sitting in inventory, picking up a book causes it to cease to exist and add spells to the player's library, which they can memorize from at any time.

-Learnable spells in the book are listed upon picking it up.
-Books with no usable or new spells are tagged useless. This was meant to make shopping painless, but had the consequence of making book acquirement much different; it will consistently not give useless books but is more prone to empty acquirements. To counter this, I added code to make it attempt to give a manual if it would give a useless spellbook.
-Trog loses book burning and gains absolutely nothing in return.
-Sif Muna is not directly changed. They should probably beam spells straight to the library instead of dropping books at your feet now. Book gifts run off of acquirement and thus are more useful. Sif also stops giving books once the player has every spell instead of drowning them in a torrent of redundant books.
-Vehumet is completely unchanged. Offered gifts are not added to the library and are withdrawn as normal.
-Background descriptions could use touching up as the player doesn't see their starting book anymore.
-On loading an old save, all books in the player's inventory have their contents added to the library and then disintegrate.

Can you stop posting random unmerged DCSS PRs.

New gnolls sound like a bad normal species, and we already have tengus for that

>You can't convert enemy summons with permaaggro
cult of personality still works with aggro, it's just worse
aggravation turns 'friendly' monsters instantly hostile, but 'pet' monsters stay loyal
with CoP, summons become pets if they fail 2 saves vs your CHR or friendly if they fail 1 save

>remove books
good change imo

I don't recognize the name. A mysterious wanderer?

he's posted some pcb wins before as well
he was the guy that won a rage-mage, one of the shittiest most useless classes in the game

argumentation roguelike

The potion of curing is a mimic!

I saved my game months ago and decided to go back to finish it up. I was dreading this fight since he is basically the last boss for a normal game. nothing can stop me now.

You're not doing it with Elona. you're doing it with Elona's father!

How is statue form balanced holy shit
>doesnt take much to get it on even if you find it way late and you have no training in trans/earth
>lasts for so long and gives you so much its not even funny

It's balanced because it's a level 6 dual school spell that makes every action take 150% as long as normal.

>increase damage by 50%
>Increase action taken by 50%
>overall massive increase in damage because AC
>also gives 35 ac
>And torment resist
>And rpois, relec, rn+
>and 30% hp
>and new melee attack that scales based ur str

well its a nice balanced spell

Your melee always scales based on your strength.

Yes, it's balanced. Moving slowly is *extremely bad* in DCSS and needs to be compensated with huge benefits to not be strictly negative.

tm base damage scaling with stats was removed

in trunk?
what does it scale by now

Attack speed, it's a flat bonus.

i mean e.g. dragonform used to add 2/3 of your str to the basedamage and then ALSO get the normal str bonus to damage
now it just has the latter effect, same as any other melee weapon
though the base damage was increased to compensate

o that sucks

>tfw no fancy felid or octo wearing scarf to be comfy and cozy while exploring the dungeon

>felids still cant wear hats

how much did the new pharao grind

12 much

look at the tumcounts, none at all

Is there a graphics pack for Infra Arcana?

Where are his spells??

doesn't it tell you the ghost's spells, if it has any?

he's probably just doing the classic mife "drop book on turn 1 and otab" strat but with ice instead of fire

Why is he worshiping makpleb then? And yeah it does tell you what his spells are when you examine him

He was wearing super heavy armor and had crazy high fail rates on his spells. The ghost doesn't get to keep the spells if the fail rate was too high.

>minotaur
>worshipping an otab god
i dunno user i guess it's a fuckin mystery

>makhleb
>otab
>4 active abilities

go 0invo and worship him just for the heal
it's even lower effort than oka or trog

What if Crawl just merged weapon types into 2 skills
>blunt
>not blunt

0grind unlike the false prophet

did basil win mumo yet
he should get a win during the tourney like ponyposter did

Why do most "good players" that i spectate train multiple skills at once

carry me chei

fault

Naga^Chei are a meme and not actually good

Are they playing HO, Mi, Gr?
Are they just raising defenses?
Are they raising mullltiple schools for a utility spell?

Plenty of times when you will be raising multiple skills simultaneously.

no real reason to pump one skill in particular

i'll join

i should be able to get a couple of wins

uesrname is caco

when does the tournament start anyway?

2000h UTC Friday May 26th.

man that's pretty soon

time to stock up on nasal spray and caffeine pills
