It looks like the only way to play :)

Stoning Poison?

No fix for not being able to buy stoning poison?

Character compatibility

Submitted by hunter on Thu, 2021-07-01 16:12.

When putting out a new version, I was wondering if you could include a note regarding whether or not characters from the previous versions are compatible, i.e. whether your characters will disappear from the load screen unless you opt to show older versions. For instance, I'm working on an unlock and don't want to make my character buggy by updating to a version where it might not really work. It would be helpful to learn that so I can put off updating if necessary, or go ahead and update if it should be fine.

Re: Compatibility

Submitted by nsrr on Thu, 2021-07-01 16:29.

Minor version changes should never break compatibility. Major versions can, and likely will. E.g. 1.7.4 did not break compatibility, neither will 1.7.5, or any number of minor versions between now and 1.8.0, whenever that may be.

Silly question perhaps.. but

Silly question perhaps.. but where do I select the Wanderer class?
I would have guessed it is under the Adventurer metaclass, however it is not there.
I have already unlocked Adventurer normally. Do I need to finish the game again to unlock Wanderer as well?

Somebody already created a wiki page..

ToME players have been really good about helping us hapless non-programmers learn unlocks and achievements.

Thank you for your reply. I shall let my launcher do its job now.

Great news, but...

Submitted by melighos on Fri, 2021-07-02 19:22.

Thank you for your hard work, this is great news!
But have some issues with previous and this version, two of my characters doesn't have a bonus zone, and one of them have a constant LUA error when trying to use Command Staff talent.

Maybe a more controlled wanderer?

Submitted by fateriddle on Fri, 2021-07-23 20:00.

wanderer is probably the best idea for this game at this stage. But trying it out making me wonder if we could be offer like 3 choices and pick only 1 for each new random class/generic telant? Judging how many telants are in the pool, I can see most of wanderers being a total disaster to play. If people are starting to reroll for reasonablly playable seeds, I see a point to make it less random by giving the player some level of choice.

Someone already made that addon: https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/wanderer_3in1

I'm fine with DG adding

Submitted by ZeroAffex on Tue, 2021-12-14 03:22.

I'm fine with DG adding users addons to the game. Addons can become outdated/broken if not updated sometimes. This means no matter what, we get the Wanderer class. Ideally, I'd like DG to implement many of the addons for ToME as I've seen so many good ones become obsolete when the modder abandons them. I'd love it if DarkGod took Zomnibus and implemented it to the base game someday and giving credit to all involved whether in game credits or making said people actual monsters we can find in the game. Just me. I'd be crushed if Zomnibus and some other addons I love become abandoned and no longer work with ToME. More that get added the better I say! Plus people who are new or don't want to mod can experience them. So many positives, very little negatives.

Or consider adding a re-roller to the first Stat page on creation.

Stat tracking/bestiary?

Submitted by ZeroAffex on Tue, 2021-12-14 03:29.

Love the work you put into this update and the new Wanderer class is a lot of fun and is perfect for when you really want a fresh roguelike experience. I would love to see some stat tracking added someday that we could access in the main menu as well as a bestiary that we can view that shows artwork for the monsters we've encountered, a brief description, where they can be found and maybe how many times they've killed us and we've killed them. It would also be cool to have some more random events in the game to keep things fresh like the "Trapped" quest that can randomly trigger. Oh and maybe some alternate layouts for towns/cities that can spawn different merchants for the same season, just to mix runs up. Am sure I can think of more suggestions. Love ToME. Best 1500 hours I've ever spent and hope to put many thousands more in before I die (hopefully of old age!) haha Thanks for your hard work DarkGod. Looking forward to the future! <3
