  • archmage venture 4   15 years 17 weeks ago

    I have created 12 characters since i first used an online profile and i guess i created another 30 or 40 before that. Wouldn't place it anything higher than 50. Most of them died whilei was figuring hte controls, trying to figure out which dungeons i should enter, why i should desperately look for stun resist granting items, why i should run away from skeleton mages if underleveled etc.

    But to be honest it's been only 3 characters i've started taking things seriously, focusing on 1 class at a time (archmage in this case), creating an spreadsheet to track my talent distribution and eventually optimize it when i die (third time seems to be workign better), using the search forum's function to look for past other players' past experiences etc.

    So, no, i'm no natural at roguelikes, i've yet to beat any. But Tome4 is taking it easy on me, no food counter & the option of having some additional lives in case of a momentary lack of attention and/or an small error of judgment, that's quite lenient.

    Because erm... you're supposed to DIE against the ambush, not on your first time there kill the whole thing. LOL

    Anyway, well done, you have to take the staff back to Last Hope. Though I am thinking your character may want to keep hold of it, you can't... it's THE PLOT PIECE. But without it you wont be able to continue the game.

    So well played, and good luck going forward, sounds like you are a natural at roguelikes. Well done.

    The link to the howto-guides leads to an empty page. I could have sworn it worked before.

    Great roguelike creator may not be great roguelike player :)

  • archmage venture 3   15 years 17 weeks ago

    Thank you, that makes sense!

    If you are a yeek you can take the tunnel, otherwise not. The thing is the yeeks "mentally" disallow you to go through the tunnel, but the message could be more clear to indicate that you CANNOT go through the tunnel this game.

    The Berserk talent improves your stun resistance, but the cost (-10 armour and -10 defense) is pretty heavy. Increase Con and the Health talent for more hitpoints, and improve and use Ice Skin.

    You can wear a second ring. Spend the 417 gp for better gear, e.g. your amulet, cloak and hat could use an upgrade (unless you intend to buy an artifact for 500 gp). Try to collect some rings and amulets for swapping.

    But beware, in a few levels you can get a nasty and deadly encounter while travelling.

    Woo

    Congrats! I hope you don't take your win to mean "I need to make everything harder" like some roguelike authors seem to.

    max_mana = 20000 that's how

    She must of had lots of mana to adsorb 22052.07 damage. I wonder how she got that much?

    Dekar casts a protective shield just in time!
    Your premonition allows you to raise a shield just in time!
    Linaniil, Supreme Archmage of Angolwen hits Dekar for 16522.32 arcane damage.

    Yup, saved you that premonition :)

    Interesting...so a dispel on her would have made her vulnerable. Kudos on a fiery finish.

  • The Noble Adventurer   15 years 17 weeks ago

    He's not afraid of evil, but he's afraid of women :D

  • My first winner: Linaniil saves the day!   15 years 17 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!   15 years 17 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. :)

  • The Noble Adventurer   15 years 18 weeks ago

    Heh. Noble but not suicidal.

  • My first winner: Linaniil saves the day!   15 years 18 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   15 years 18 weeks ago

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

  • Cursed issue in Beta 20b   15 years 18 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.

    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?   15 years 18 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?
