first for blackmonster

You don't need to be good at TOME. I enjoy TOME more than other roguelikes because the gameplay is good with great lore.

Its always telling when your argument is so weak you attack things like grammar instead.

how do i do sex in noxico please respond

>Its always
It's*. Did you come here for English lessons?

...

Nice samefag. So do you have any actual argument to what I said or do you concede that Tome has shit writing?

*stuns your thread*

bill doesnt have a stun unless youre unlucky on insane+ tho

bill stuns???

nerd

tomes writing is complete ass but it has no competition in the genre so even DG and DG's terrible redhead giantess gf smut starts looking like a literary epic

Excuse me but I jack it to Melinda's description every day. I have her icon extracted and set to my desktop and use it as my phone wallpaper. The slight blood on her body just barely covering her nudity up really gets a man's blood pumping. I especially love how she's been captured by a bunch of cultists, what a kinky girl. I wish DarkGod sold Melinda body pillows

this but unironically

Okay, so I have a ton of replenishable food+water in Cata, and have a decent murder-mobile and can kill most zombies without an issue. So uh, what now? I wish there was some sort of last boss or something, so I could feel like I was working towards something.

Hey guys. Just started out my first few characters in ToME. Been rolling a lot of dwarf alchemists lately lol but I can't make it past gloom forest. Any things I should be looking out for?

I'm glad they are removing stuns in 1.6. Makes the game easier and more accessible.
I think it's a unique story mixing a little bit of erotic fiction with usual fantasy tropes and an epic hero journey.
It is kinda kinky but I don't think DarkGod will make body pillows for us. Although I found rescuing her blood covered body empowering.

Here's a good starter guide for alchemist, it helped me get my first win.

alch is still literal trash

unfunny samefag
at least actually discuss tome

Is it true that ToME devs are racist? I see nothing but white characters and people often hint in chat that they are white supremacists but they quickly get banned.

Whoah wtf? My archmage just got killed by an orc soldier? I read in the last thread that this class was supposed to be "invincible" yet I still can't progress past the maze. Getting roflstomped at low level isn't what I'd call fun.

I think you need to use shields which might require pressing more keys than usual.

archmage is tough for the average tome player because it requires them to use more than 3 talents in a fight, most players can't think about they're movements that much

People don't get banned for that. It's obvious the mods of the chat are actually open white supremacists. Just take a look at peoples names when they die.

I have bone armour and flames on insta cast. I am using shields.

>picrelated is white furry race

>communicates through mental circlejerking
Really fires the neurons.

Play archer or paradox mage instead, they're idiot proof.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bone armor
use a real shield idiot
Disruption Shield is the only way to play archmage

whats wrong user.....could it be that youre craving my....gameplay depth?

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's shit. Try and take some joy in life. I like TOME lore and will continue to enjoy the great DLC additions that expand upon it. They are also super cheap which I respect of DarkGod in these times of rip offs.

its shit and im right and youre wrong and im not gonna tell you why

Nah. Care you post a link to one of your winner's char sheets?

>If you think shit is shit your a no fun killjoy.
From having such a shit argument you attack grammar to trying to use me as a strawman. Lovely. So you still have no actual argument?

>tometards literally talking to themselves forever
Goodbye arelgee. It was nice knowing you.

sure i guess

Art is subjective so there is no reason for me to try and convince you. You don't find joy in lore and that's up to you. I think it's original and there's nothing like TOME in other games or writing that I have experienced.

No one is actually bringing up any other game to talk about, because they're all either effectively beaten games where every possible situation has been solved, dead, dying or use ascii which most of /rgl/ are too causal to use

LUL PogChamp look at this P2W DLC Babby EleGiggle

>not playing with only official addons
Try again? I wouldn't count that as a legit win.

...

I love lore in games with good lore. Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are great examples. Tome is not.
Nice to see you do indeed have no argument.

ster is a known cheater and troll in TOME. I don't think this win is legit.

real men use the ugliest tiles available

At least in TOME you don't have to constantly scan like a dumbass. TOME was made by basically one person how can you compare it to a Nintendo produced game that's unfair.

Literally who?

Wasn't he banned for cheating? Yeah, so that win is a no go like I thought. Not going to waste anymore time arguing with a troll.

One writer v one writer. And as a said before, if Tome's writing is only good if you only compare it to other roguelikes (which means literally no writing at all), that's just sad.

actually i was banned because some IRC fag paid DG $20 to do it

according to one of the devs, he was banned for basically being a dick but was actually good at the game. you cant be banned for cheating in tome since wins with addons like that op superior human race are valid wins in the vault system. cheating isnt discouraged

At least he isn't Mex who ruined AB by winning Madness with it and getting it nerfed.

Cmon dude, adom's lore and writing is decent too. Biskup tried his best!

I didn't even get far enough in Adom to judge its writing. Unlike Tome, it didn't feel like an at all fun game.

Why doesn't he have any wins with only official addons then?

How was it nerfed?

becuase being good at tome doesnt require you to actually be good at tome.

they buffed the potency but nerfed the duration

He ruined any chances of making more Madness wins by making DarkGod nerf Bathe in Light.

Patrols, drowning and escorts are objectively shit mechanics that shouldn't exist, though.

Hey guys. I just reached high peak as a level 43 ogre mind slayer. Its insane mode by the way do I need to know anything before I fight the final boss?

It wasn't nerfed that much
In nutome you can skip Vor and Gorbat too which cuts a lot of difficulty out of madness endgame. AB could probably still win if you weren't all shitters.

What's your excuse for not having an Insane win then?

The final boss has pretty good lore I hope you enjoy it.

>hogulus lore
>good
close the portals nerd

Can I see one of your winner's char sheets then? If you don't mind.

Using 0 addons usually means they've used cheat engine. Care to link a different character?

>use unofficial addons get called cheater
>use no addons get called cheater
Do you just want nobody to play your game or something?

orc vaginas

Mex is the only legit Madness winner. He even put guides on the forums.

...

Do the prides faggot

Can you explain something to me? Over the past few weeks I've seen some arguments across the multiple tome boards between a guy who says archmage sucks and people who disagree with him. If Mex is the only legit madness winner then why is it that people like to bring up his win to argue against that guys points? If they can't even beat normal mode and there's only one madness win what does it have to do with archmage?

Yeah nice meme but this was actually one of the best parts of TOME lore with an interesting ethical dilemma which humanized the orcs.

Archmage sucks because it is awfully fucking tedius.

does it say if they have tits too?
because i'd be down for some orc tits

So that guy was right I'm guessing? Before I didn't know if I should believe him but now I'm starting to see he had a lot of truth included in his posts.

Because archmage is one of the few classes that can do Madness. Just read his guide it explains why but basically huge shields by abusing Bathe in Light.

That doesn't make them actually good though, just because ONE guy beat madness on ONE class doesn't make the archmage class good, that just means he's most likely the best player in the game if he can win on the hardest mode with the weakest avi

samefag shitter
we get it, you managed to fuck up insane adventure AM
but the only problem is that you arent skilled enough for the HIGH SKILL CEILING of am

ToMe isn't even a roguelike

>make a tome related thread
>it is now flooded with tometards
>at least the thread is getting bumped right?
I regret everything.

What? I've never played an archimage I've just been looking into playing one. I'm open to hearing both sides of the argument too.

...

bpat > Razakai > Sheila > Darkgod > stuntofthelitter > Shibari

>invite botnet into thread
>wonder why it devolves into mindless spam
hmm

It's the best class in the game and will never be nerfed because DarkGod has a hard on for it.

why the fuck is stunt below darkgod, stunt is a literal bro

Pozzer, Shadowblade and Paradox Mage are all objectively better though. It looks OP but it's retarded much like DG's archmage waifu.

No it means that the class is OP and that the player is autistic enough to play for 50 hours.

Can you link me your character sheet so I can get some pointers? I tried following mexs guide but Im playing normal adventure.

start by using your brain, it helps a lot on normal mode

Odyssey of the Summoner is fun. Have you played it /te4g/?

te4.org/characters/121593/tome/2332e31f-60bf-4b07-bcd3-fd0d1f6bc418

Almost beat it on a ritch on roguelike.

te4.org/characters/197799/tome/fd2760da-b03a-4d84-993d-ef082e72325a This is my last character. I played necro because it was high on mexs tier list. Next Im trying to win on archimage cuz its even higher on the list.

next time take two (2) mnemonics out of the vault as well, that'll help
