C:DDA > Elona > ToME > every other ascii permadeath garbage
Camden Ortiz
First for Nethack
Zachary Martin
t.kevin I'm trying to get into Elona but it's a rocky start. I don't necessarily mind the grind but what are some fun classes/races to start as?
Zachary Russell
Go with a race that's somewhat vanilla, not fairy bullshit or other races with too massive advantages/disadvantages then you can't go wrong. Like Elea, Eulderna or similar. Class matters very little, you're going to get every skill in the game anyway. Warmage is versatile because you will almost certainly want to cast some spells even as a melee heavy character.
Jason Gutierrez
Unless you absolutely want to meme right off the gates, Warmage gives useful combat and magic skills and one of the arguably best and general-purpose class feats. Agreeing with , but when you're ready to go all in Golem dim immunity is very nice.
Matthew Watson
>fun Snail tourist, or mutant.
Lincoln Garcia
no
Christopher Jackson
It's dead.
Jason Miller
Don't worry I backed up our save.
Luis Brooks
>Grindlona >Good
Nolan Ross
>roguelikes >good
Daniel Hill
*kills your general* Heh...Nothin personnel....shitters....
Jeremiah Sanchez
Why do you any of you still play roguelikes when you could be playing fun games like literally anything also? Also where will you go when /rlg/ finally splats for good?
Isaac Richardson
ded genre ded thred
Nicholas Torres
Those are all good roguelikes Yes, I said it, berlin interpretation can suck my left nut
Joseph Brown
wrong one
Jace Russell
I saw you die.
Angel Bell
>C:DDA >ToME >DCSShitters all on hiatus >that one autistic nethack poster The absolute state of /rlg/ everyone
Jack Miller
C:DDA > DCSS > Everything else.
Jaxson Richardson
>DCSShitters all on hiatus Fucking awesome.
Ryder Brown
DCSS is literally more dead than Battleborn
Charles Ross
praise to the user who posted Blind Guardian in last thread
Jason Martin
I mean you're wrong but whatever
Robert Martin
are there any first person roguelikes where I can achieve 60 FPS?
Lincoln Thompson
dark souls but you'll need to use mods
Daniel Richardson
>first person roguelike Do you mean dungeon crawlers/blobbers like Might and Magic?
Jaxon Evans
did the last thread reach bump limit or did it just die off?
Xavier Miller
It was past bump limit for a while, yeah.
Ethan Watson
It hit bump limit then no one made a new one for about an hour
Cameron Reyes
The first-person version of DoomRL is decent. You could check that out.
Veeky Forums doesn't even embed links by default. I have to copy paste them, can't click it. Blame whatever addon you're using.
Jayden Price
>slaying morgoth as an edain while listening to nightfall in middle earth Only through blind guardian one can truly appreciate the purity of Sil.
Jace Carter
>top 100 dungeon crawlers >first place: Legend of "4 spells per school, shit classes, most shallow combat system" Grimrock >close page
Nolan Ortiz
I set that in the setting
Nicholas Morris
I'm playing DCSS on terminal for the first time now and I have to say I really like it. I looks kinda good after getting accustomed to it and I play much more safe.
Robert Adams
Oh, sorry. For some reason, the list is sorted by most votes by default, instead of highest average score. Try this one: dungeoncrawlers.org/top-100/?average
Levi Cox
Im on level 6 of dreadfall, this might be my first run of killing the master! fuck yeah.
pls don't let the thread die until I watched this video I promise I will bump the thread one time then
Jacob Collins
That's a big video
Evan Hill
This made me think of that guy who was making videos about hitting L50 in Tome2 without leaving Bree as an alchemist, I gotta check if he finally did it
Hudson Nguyen
How long does it take for influenza to go away? It's been almost two weeks. I started taking cough syrup and vitamins every day.
Cameron Miller
for you
Aaron Williams
Too much time Dont forget to not sleep
Colton Jenkins
This game is fucking retarded, or probably broken. More than a whole season with influenza. Spent the whole time at home, with warm clothes, vitamins and medicine. It just doesn't end.
Bentley Sullivan
>Dont forget to not sleep What do you mean?
Jose Watson
Why do people play broken unfun games when nethack is available and there's a variant for every player?
Jose Martinez
u shouldnt hack user, it isnt morally right and also it's a crime
Easton Murphy
nice bait, nethack is broken with it's spoilery instakills
Colton Lopez
When you are sleeping its time that is not counted for the disease timer or whatever, at least thats how it used to work, maybe they fixed it
Joseph Smith
wew. I slept as much as possible since IRL that helps. No wonder it took 3 weeks.
Henry Ward
that would be pretty fucking retarded
Jackson Russell
It's called a learning process, the only thing broken here is your brain! :^D
Andrew Reyes
Variants like dynahack actually remove a lot of bs instadeaths like touching a cockatrice or poison instadeath. You should give it a try user!
Mason Roberts
>get spellbinder >miscast effect spawns some friendly worldbinders >worldbinders spawn a shitton of allies >accidentally hurt them all with an explosion caused by spellbinder >okawaru gets super pissed and shits enemies at me until i die JUST
Adrian Wright
there is no skill or fun involved in playing nethack
Eli Edwards
I would get pissed at you too for that
Henry Brooks
git gud I guess
Joseph Thomas
>git gud >at reading wikis
Lincoln Campbell
A reminder that if savescumming gives you advantage at a game, then it's badly designed.
Levi Perez
so only games without any saving at all are ok?
Daniel Jones
Name one game where savescumming wouldn't be an advantage. You can't.
James Johnson
>I need a wiki to tell me that stupid thing I just did was stupid Yes, git gud
Kayden Gutierrez
there are many such games for example many puzzle games have no consequences for failure, with infinite resets or even an 'undo' button
Jose Walker
Games that gives you the information you need to win a battle, instead of having to rely on reload knowledge after LOLSORANDOMDEATH
Angel Perez
Infinite undos are the same as loading a save. If a game has any failure condition at all then you can save time by reloading/undoing instead of dealing with it and restarting the level or whatever.
>make the wrong decision >get punished >reload retard
Sebastian Miller
Yeah Incredible I didn't figure out to put my hands in my ear when encountering a banshe >sry I'm brainlet this is the only board that will take me pls no bully
David Hernandez
That's why you play games that don't punish you for a bad decision.
Kayden Stewart
you sound like someone who couldn't beat mario as a kid
Christian Hill
Double retard
Chase Rogers
Has anybody actually ever ascended in a game besides nu-dcss?
Michael Bell
It's not so bad, early game tourist is the most fun for me personally.
Hudson Evans
I once saw a video of nethack and this guy autistically lured monsters to his altar to sacrifice them there to build up piety.
I don't want to start this game, because I'm the type of person who would grind 10 hours and then still manage to die
Nolan Fisher
Is TSO the least fun-allowed god? /clouds? Nope. Using angels with like, any fun evocable or ?immo? Nope. Accidentally hurting an angel when fighting like five greater mummies and shit in W:3? Repent!
Not sure what his problem is.
Matthew Rivera
a good tome build feels as degenerate as powergaming in dnd 3.x but without being thatguy
Dylan Turner
Well, you are supposed to be larping as a crusader. They were technically even forbidden to rape the losers of the war.
Nathan Jenkins
Wands of create monster are usually pretty plentiful. Grinding I don't think is really ever necessary, that doesn't mean people won't do it.
Justin Thompson
Is Adventurer class the equivalent of taking 5 different prestige classes?
Hunter Roberts
adventurer can get around to some real fucky shenanigans
i think in version 1.3 someone made a build that manages to be permanently invincible by stacking a shitload of different cooldown reduction and reset effects from different classes plus the Timeless and the Berserker's "you can't be reduced below 1hp for 5 turns" thing
Thomas Rivera
You can pretty much take super expensive sustains in resources that you'll never use for anything else, right?
William Reed
Sincei t gives health and MP on kills, not to mention rN+++, halo and absurd other benefits. It makes most other gods look terrible in comparison for endgame.
Nathan Long
bump for roguelites
David Richardson
Don't even start to mention that you can almost freely switch between him and his 2 buddies. I think more gods should work as teams, could make an interesting design
was just typing my reply ..
Joseph Howard
I have finally slain the master. Inhabiting a level 50 vampire lord body certainly made it manageable, even if it made my steamguns useless
Isaac Cox
and as a bonus, I have possesed the orcish ambush leader. THIS IS THE RUN, BOYS
Jaxon Fisher
what game? tangledeep (deep for deep mechanics) by chance?
Jacob Miller
Is Tangedeep good or will we never seriously discuss it because of the "Any roguelike that isn't free is shit," meme?
Jace Richardson
you are literally 2 posts below a tomeposter
although to be fair tome is still open source despite costing money, so it doesn't really fall under the "nonfree software is not roguelikes" thing and even though tangledeep does have this problem, arelgee still has plenty of posts about notroguelikes such as elona or demon so you're probably still fine
Hudson Cox
ToME of course. Tangledeep is pretty fun though
Mason Richardson
>Any roguelike that isn't free is shit This is so stupid. I say we wait until the game gets a bit more stable so you can reliably pirate it, maybe if its good people will talk about it (and some will pay for it)
I'm all for free software and all but as I understand people need to make money and as long as the game is not literal spyware like windows I have no problem with paying for it
Tyler Garcia
It will never receive serious discussion because of the obnoxious way which it has been introduced to the thread.
Isaac Nelson
honestly, I don't know nor care about the game because I'm a poorfag but I like shitposting about it
I wonder how many people try it just because of the shitposts
Thomas Anderson
>****** with TSO >holding +2 Demon Blade of Slicing >pray on altar while holding blade >nothing How do I get a eudemon blade?
Colton Mitchell
I can't get past floor 18, feels like there's a massive gear wall there that assumes you're using the vault stuff.
Noah Barnes
Hollow enemies in CDDA are so fucking dumb, like skeletons or spiders. 80% of the bullets miss them even at perfect aiming.
Nicholas Gonzalez
You are not supposed to shoot skellies dumb MiBe Just swing your sword twice instead of wasting bullets
Christian Jones
Holy shit I can barely make it to 3 days in Cata and even I know you bash skeletons and shit.
