  • My first winner: Linaniil saves the day!   14 years 47 weeks ago

    Way to go DG! Is this the first time you beat any of the ToMEs, or ToME 4?

  • My first winner: Linaniil saves the day!   14 years 47 weeks ago

    Don't know if you noticed, there's some interface difficulties with multiple dialogs on the screen; it popped up a window just now for me asking for donations... I think. It was behind "Exterminator! Killed 1000 creatures!" and when I clicked "Close" it closed the one that I couldn't see instead of the achievement. Hard to get donations that way. :)

    Heh. Noble but not suicidal.

  • My first winner: Linaniil saves the day!   14 years 47 weeks ago

    I have to say, it's funny to think that people have literally beaten you at your own game. ;)

    Congrats, I look forward to doing the same one day. Keep up the great work!

  • It would be better if death took you to the world map   14 years 47 weeks ago

    Cheers, read that in the patch notes just now. I'll go and give it a whirl.

  • Cursed issue in Beta 20b   14 years 47 weeks ago

    I think it's a bug, because there was mention of changing the savvy talent (which is part of that tree) in the patch notes for b20 - no reason to do that if you're getting rid of it altogether! I reported it on the forums.

  • T-Engine4 / ToME4 beta20 aka "Shaloren Homeland" unleashed!   14 years 47 weeks ago

    Has anyone mentioned how much you rock? Really awesome that you did all this so quickly. :D I look forward to creating new v20 characters.

    I deleted the tome.team file in modules/, and I was able to connect to the server profile.

  • why are the NPCs in escort quests suicidal?   14 years 47 weeks ago

    These guys aren't charging in to die, they are charging in to make sure you don't steal all their kills and get all the good loot. They may be tired, injured, and retired but those instincts don't go away. They don't see a troll horde, they see a bunch of xp pinatas and who can resist a pinata?

  • ok all, i need your help   14 years 47 weeks ago
  • I'm not finished with you yet.   14 years 47 weeks ago

    I agree, and I have no complaints. My initial surprise was soon replaced with a grin. In fact, it might be nifty to play a roguelike where nothing is explicitly declared "dead". After each blow, your character evaluates the enemy. It might be safe to turn your back on that "pulped" orc, but loot that "pulped" gelatinous cube with care. Might lead to some interesting battle choices.

  • I'm not finished with you yet.   14 years 47 weeks ago

    If a flurry is six strikes in the time a normal dude would hit once...well then they are pretty awesomely fast strikes. You don't seriously suggest that your character should, after each & every strike, check your foe's vital signs and then evaluate whether or not to attack again?

    Nonono. You focus, and then unleash them in a blink of an eye. You victim will remain upright for the duration, before dropping down, perplexed and quite dead, regardsless.

    "There is no such thing as overkill"
    -unknown halfing rogue on steroids.

  • why are the NPCs in escort quests suicidal?   14 years 47 weeks ago

    NPCs with instinct of self-preservation are too bizzare for roguelike world where all rotates around stupid deaths :) You can often stay on their way and they won't move, though.

  • why are the NPCs in escort quests suicidal?   14 years 47 weeks ago

    Actaully you can do it as many times as you wish but there is a timer between them

  • why are the NPCs in escort quests suicidal?   14 years 47 weeks ago

    They are desperate to get to their destination. You can tell them (once) to stay behind by right clicking on them, and selecting "give order". This is in Beta 19, however they don't stay there too long (10 turns maybe less?), and you can only do it once.

  • going back to a cornac beserker   14 years 47 weeks ago

    entering the Darkair mountains, he decided to end the reign of rungof the warg titan, he then found a rift in time and space and thought that to be a fitting grave for a warrior of his calibre

  • My First Shadowblade   14 years 48 weeks ago

    Started a Dwarf Berserker, and ho boy is he a blast. I've gotten him all the way to the first quests on the far eastern continent (my first time even close to getting this far). Just got into Ardhungol and have been fighting HUNDREDS of undead, its been nothing but a solid wall of attackers for almost a half an hour. thankfully between my awesome sword and infusions i've only gotten below half hp a couple of times throughout the fight. Unfortunately all the loot on the ground and monster effects are really starting to make my poor laptop really start to chug, hopefully it doesnt lag out with too much lost.

  • It would be better if death took you to the world map   14 years 48 weeks ago

    Not exactly sure what will happen there, but you'll get a chance to cooldown your skills, and get ready (to an extent) for where you died.

  • Older than I look the Skeletal Chronomancer   14 years 48 weeks ago

    Having set upon the antimagic quest I have now been set upon by a kidnapped merchant.. in I go. Hmm level 3v10 this may have been a bad idea.
    Whops forgot about the runes, time to start again.

  • Jason the Alchemist, comments on beta19   14 years 48 weeks ago

    Can't delete runes from their skill list. Having a golem popping teleport randomly is a PITA. Probably shouldn't be able to use more than 3 runes either.

  • Dragon Bones the Skeleton Wyrmic   14 years 48 weeks ago

    Nice, first level back was a sun paladin who I was able to save. now I can chant and sing.

    Wow I can hold my breath for a long time.

    Whops,arrogance killed me again. There was nothing in the old forest that could hurt me. Then the horrors under the lake owned my last life.

    RIP Dragon Bones

  • archmage venture 2   14 years 48 weeks ago

    I still don't know what saving throws do to be honest but, yes, i came to realize that +2 to magic is not very important so i'm experimenting .

    Chant of fortitude does not provide a bonus to mental though. I'm wondering whether i should invest massively in willpower or whether there's a different talent that i haven't encountered yet.

  • archmage venture 2   14 years 48 weeks ago

    Chant of Fortitude is actually pretty nice now. The saving throws (at least up until level 20 or so when I got bored with my mage) actually seem to be making a difference.

    Besides, it's not even a question of Hymn of Perseverance vs. Chant of Fortitude, they're given by two different escorts and both can be active at the same time.

    Besides, rather or not it's worth it is irrelevant, you give up nothing for it, except maybe the little bit of magic he'd have given you or a measly +3% physical resist.
