Literally the blob

They should remove the timer for DCSS portals which is a shitty mechanic (if you don't have magic mapping you have to dangerously explore the level) and replace it with something like the portal is destroyed if you leave the level before entering. A bit of risk by removing stair dancing but at least I get to make a decision instead of occasionally getting RNG fucked out of multiple artifacts from a gauntlet.

I thought he was divorced, another instigator of trooning out.

>>569851969
the connection between programming and troons is truly baffling, and cataclysm is quite the absurd example. Half the devs are troons, the game is riddled with troon shit, now the lead dev trooned out and the lead dev of the most recent fork is a troon whose fork was instigated by an internet fight with other troons.

really how do you explain this shit? I think the mutation angle of cataclysm attracts a disproportionate amount of them to the game.

It's not baffling at all, it's well known autists are way more likely to troon out than normal people and programming and roguelikes attract autists.

>>569897002
yeah but it's not like every autist troons out, even among autists they are a tiny minority. a ridiculous percentage if not a majority of people involved with cataclysm are troons. not to mention that most troons are younger people that got swept up in the social contagion of trannyism, but these people working on cata are all like 40+ gross old dudes.

80% of the spells are the same, and 70% of the passive skills still exist as equipment

Bigger changes are
-no more activable items,now there's 2-4 items on the map that activate on pickup
-that means no more health/mana potions so no more recharging your spells mid level, this is really fucking me up
-passive skills are replaced by those craftable equipment and you need to chose your rifts based on what paths the ingredients will get you, it's a lot more complex than picking from already complete equipment

Fucking eggers.

>>569908694
This dev recycles spells but changes the game systems from game to game. He has to recycle some content to make a new game every 18 months, you know. That's why people are getting on his case for releasing games so fast. Basic spells like Death Bolt and Fireball are in all three games, but there are a bunch of new spells at higher mana costs, and there are new upgrades for the old spells.

>>569909273
>-that means no more health/mana potions so no more recharging your spells mid level, this is really fucking me up

>this was actually a steath build
Yeah but if you're not one shotting the dragon then it's no longer stealth it's just shitty melee. Honestly the last three floors are always touch and go no matter how good your item rng gets and I think stealth is just a weak build in general. I read in previous builds you used to be able to get a 1 tile visibility radius even when moving so it's been nerfed a lot. 25% flat detection by enemies is just too good. A little bit of tech in case you're unaware for maces/warhammers, wands of beckoning give you a free turn to stab afterwards so keep them around.

So my shit's all busted up, but I've got the top of this apartment building all to myself. Plenty of food and books up here to get some of my skills up while I recuperate. Gonna have to figure out what to use to boil water with exactly.

There's like eight solar panels on the roof- You only need rank 2 Electric to build a voltmeter too. Easy game easy life am I right?

I'm giving Arcana a go this time- Magical Nights was a lot of fun just for having spells and *a few* magic items, but Arcana seems... Both less and more in depth. Lots more writing and fluff but maybe not as much payoff as all that writing implies.

I did bows heavily last time, that was really strong. I seem to just get my ass beat in melee combat, though I've got this Arcana Martial Art and a Lucerne already.

mmm. Well, I'll see what I can craft with all this stuff on the upper floor once I get it sorted and turn on the refrigerator and oven.

After an hour or two of jerking off and trying to get ropes to activate, let me secure them, even activating "prompt on death" and trying different methods of jumping off of a ledge, wearing or wielding or carrying rope

Even going so far as to build a 2-tile vehicle to deploy a rope ladder from

I have this to report:

Rope can be used to descend.
It is deployed for usage by pressing e next to a ledge (or trying to walk off the ledge, which should summon the same prompt)
Once deployed, ropes remain where they were deployed and can be used to descend AND ascend

HOWEVER

Ropes can ONLY allow you to descend three stories
You cannot descend three stories and then "drop down" the remaining story (an eminently survivable, often damageless, fall)
The rope will not deploy. You will simply jump the entire 4 stories to your death.
You MUST be within the 3 story limit to use a rope. You cannot use multiple ropes to descend further. You cannot permanently or semi-permanently affix ropes to a tile or ledge on your own, nor can you construct any kind of abseiling emplacement.

Additionally, if you knock out the floor between two levels (by bashing down the wall, for example) you MUST have a stepladder on hand OR the required materials to Construct(*) stairs (a Fabrication 6!) endeavor- You cannot climb a chair or bookcase or table or anything like that. There is no means of juryrigging transit between the two areas.


Long story short: Electric grids don't work without batteries.

when you are just hanging out in your base recovering from wounds or training or whatever, it's basically a cheat code to make your base underground in a basement or whatever because underground locations stay at the same comfortable temperature at all times.

The souls of open source projects have almost zero defense against someone with an agenda taking over and inviting everybody else in. These people have too much time on their hands, a low skill level that only allows them to parasite off someone's foundations but never make their own game, and a burning desire to spread their agenda. The only defense is forking followed by indifference to the compromised branch to make it irrelevant, but it's a slow process and often not done. After all, people can just simply stop playing or stick with an older version.

>>570040248
That's not really an open source problem, that's an organization problem. All you need is somebody at the top who says "Nah."
Then they can try to make their own agenda fork, and the problem of attracting people is on their end.

Rift Wizard dev needs to do a bundle of all three games when 3 comes out.

Does anyone know if those handwritten scientist maps you find in zombie scientist wallets/lanyards sometimes can reveal the location of a central lab? So far all I'm getting from them are pure subway labs (no entry from ground level) and physics labs (ventilation shafts on forest tiles), both being kinda crummy loot-wise compared to those random labs with square rooms.

I've found a central lab on a previous character once by pure dumb luck, and it was under a manhole on a forest tile, which was breaking an otherwise continous forest trail. Does it have to be on a forest trail like that or was that just a coincidence?

Really wanna find a central lab on this character because I figure it's the best chance to get enough plasma canisters to CVD a bunch of swords. I found three working CVD machines this run but zero canisters. I think TCLs can also have canisters in the major loot room near the TCL boss, but TCLs are such a pain in the ass to do "in bulk" as you need to search every damn container for the badges. Although I guess since the layout is the exact same I could just beeline for that room with a torch and skip the badges.

It needs to specifically have damage as an attribute that can be modified by other equipment.

>>570053643
The early game is the hardest part. After that you can just look through the items for things your build can activate. There are items that activate when you cast a certain type of spell, when you do a certain type of damage, or when you inflict a certain status effect. I hit them with physical damage, so I take the item that does poison damage on hitting with physical damage. Then I have like 5 more items that activate when I deal poison. I build all of those items along with a Fae Plate for free shields. That's basically a build right there. You just get all the things your build can activate in the order that makes sense.

For picking realms, just put the next couple items on your quick buy so that you know which letters you are looking for. Then make sure the realms are actually doable, like nothing fully resists your damage and nothing is going to permastun you.

Yeah that's the problem with procedurally generated monsters. When you make a bunch of monster modifiers and apply them randomly to a pool of 500 monsters, some of those combinations are not going to be fun, and you can't manually test all the possible outcomes. It's why those modifiers got removed in RW3.

By the way you might be getting multiple anons mixed up. I have plenty of praise and criticism for RW2, but I also fucking love Achra. The dude shitting on Achra is more a fan of traditional roguelikes, as far as I can tell.

Central Lab is always that, manhole in the forest. Near 0-0 coordinates, if you get near it it should note itself as "access shaft" (conceivably you can search for this if you've revealed a lot of the map near (0,0)

>>570066452
>but its pre-eminence around here as the #1 game that gets talked
Lowkey I think that's because it's so approachable. Like talking about the weather or your team's game last night, you can check out and evaluate a build at a glance- It's easy to share about and easy to comment on.

I really enjoy the rare blogposts about progressing a run in some variant *band or someone reviewing and exploring a newer roguelike more than Achra yapping, but those are high effort posts.

Good night, /rlg/

Plus the end screen is very informative, so you can tell what someone's build is doing if you played the game enough. Achra makes good screenshots.

This really isn't that bad. You can penetrate resists and it's the optimal damage stat anyway.
The creature also rolled bad mix of classes (powers, damage, accuracy are low).
It's not even unkillable since it doesn't have infinite healing/immunities of an oozemancer.
If it had only 2 classes and they both were martial classes it would have been infinitely scarier.

I looked around the area and it seemed empty, so I gave up and just revealed the map a bunch of times on another character to see how it works. I want to start a new run on the new stable so I just wanna wrap this character up.
Maybe it's fork specific or maybe it worked differently before, but the coordinate doesn't seem to have much to do with the central lab, at least in 0.H. The 0,0 coordinate is just the top left tile of the overmap chunk that you spawn on, and an overmap chunk is just a 180x180 or something chunk of the map.

The entrance map tile is called "access shaft", but that's the -1 z level tile right below the manhole. The forest tile the manhole is on doesn't get any auto-note or any other distinct marking. The good thing is that the map tile itself doesn't have that many trees compared to a normal forest tile, so the manhole is unlikely to be hidden behind a tree. Unfortunately the forest tile seems to spawn near the edge of an actual forest, and forest trails are unrelated to its placement, so you can't effectively spot it on the map. Also there seems to be a limit of one central lab per overmap chunk max. Unfortunately, not every chunk is guaranteed to have one, as I saw several chunks without one.

There is a way to spot half of them through handwritten notes, however. Handwritten notes reveal some subway stuff, and they might reveal a tile on z-4 called "Central train depot", which connects to the central lab. Not to be confused with "Sciene train depot", that's a "Research facility" lab. But not all central labs apparently connect to a subway at all.
Also, this may have been fixed, but in 0.H at least you can keep unused handwritten notes and use them in locations other than where you found them. Not all maps work like this apparently, I had several "satellite" maps which were locked to a set region no matter where I used them. But handwritten notes could be used from your location as long as they were actually still unused.

>>570126480
Hmm, maybe the 0,0 thing has changed, yeah. Of course, that's on BN

I was able to pinpoint one near me on a (non-military) GPS, but it also definitely is an Access Shaft on the top level- I suspect you're getting the 'ol DDA realism treatment though, I think I vaguely remember a git commit about being able to spot POIs via notes/overmap being too OP or something like a year ago.

>>570043298
>>570068607
You are asking for DDA correct?
Are you talking about the old labs, the ones that are just a bunch of square rooms with random layouts? They have been trying to replace them entirely with the new labs for a long time now, so they are exceptionally rare. The I think I have seen like one of them in the past few years of playing off and on.

Are new labs the ones with better designed rooms with 10x the enemies and science ID-locked mini-loot rooms with CBMs/mutagen/shutter-protected artifacts?
I've only been playing on the now-previous stable and that still has quite a few "old-style" labs. If the ones I described are the new ones and they're replacing old ones in that state, well, that would suck. The ones with many enemies may be more fun to clear, but the loot frankly sucks. The meat variant doesn't even have any loot on the first level, unless you count the dozens of jabberwocks you can butcher for hearts. The only better thing physics-like labs have are artifacts, and the XEDRA merc fight with its loot in the bigger ones, but artifacts kinda suck in general as at most you can only carry 2-3 good ones before resonance kicks in.

>>570139564
Yeah those are the new labs, and part of their intended design for the new labs was to specifically reduce the amount of loot in them because they felt that labs were the one stop shop for every endgame item in the game, they want you to go to other locations to find good stuff. imo the new labs are not strictly worse for loot though. They tend to actually have better mutagen loot and the science specific equipment like the xedra shit tends to be better than what you could find in old lab armories which was usually a random smattering of guns and ammo.

Stardust orb is so fucking broken it's unbelievable and it was nerfed a million times in trunk before the latest release as well. It's literally a better orb of energy for 95% of the game since the effect is definitely equal to a level 6/7 spell that you get for free once per combat and makes it so you don't have to cast a second aoe v popcorn enemies. And pretty much everything has a decent evo aptitude as well so dumping 10 levels as soon as you see one isn't a big deal.

>>570141239
>deep elf of chei
What, are you trying to cast Fire Storm before you enter S branches? Seems like overkill.

>>570152749
Chei lets casters wear dragon armors is the main draw.

>>570153694
A limp wristed elf still isn't going to be tanky in gold dragon scales, and now you can't run away to recover MP either.

Don't mind me, though. I just hate deep elves on principle.

>>570155557
I think getting an extra ~10ac and a resist of choice is a pretty big deal even if you're not really that tanky overall. One day I'll get orange crystal plate firestorm online.

>>570078727
There are more different squares, maybe you are confusing lava/swamp/water tiles with walls?

After yesterday's seething, I immediately want to play RW2 again. It's over. This game has me hooked psychological style.

>>570168257
You might need to explore the rest of the spell library. There is one spell in particular I think of as a "win button" in RW1 and 2 that got majorly nerfed in RW3.

>>570169108
Which spell? Fire Orb?

>>570169189
Word of Chaos fits in every build as an oh shit button, and it enables tons of interesting combos that take more than one turn to start working. It makes the game a lot easier.

>>570170746
It's a useless spell in RW1 purely due to the cost.
The ones that easily wipe all the challenges (unless not available) are Chain Lightning and Fire Orb, since they do massive damage per cast and per mana potion used.

>>570170903
>word of chaos
>useless
Now you're trolling.

>>570171510
All the skills have use, but calling WoC "win button" is a bad joke.
People regularly do 1-spell runs as a challenge because the game is easy enough. WoC strictly can't be used in a 1-spell run. It's also bad in all the built in hardest challenges in the game.

Try doing the built in challenges like giant slayer or troll path, you'll understand. Or doing a 1-spell challenge run. RW1 is a very easy game otherwise.

>>570171783
>1-spell run in RW1
So? He's struggling to beat the regular game mode in RW2.
>Try doing the built in challenges
I have. It's not relevant to the conversation.

If you want to show off your cool challenge runs, I'd love to see them. It's just not what I was talking about, so it kinda comes off like you randomly jumped into a conversation to brag about your Chia Pet collection.

>>570174137
>It's not relevant to the conversation.
Your idea of a "strong spell" is what the card game players would call a "win more" card.
It's expensive, it comes online late, it only has value when you put yourself in danger in a game that gives you full control over your position.
>He's struggling to beat the regular game mode
I mean if your position is "I'm right because I'm bad at the game" then yeah, you're right, WoC is a very strong spell. It's hard to change the mind of people you know? The more they lose, the more certain they are of their own wisdom.

>>570174418
You go ahead and give people tips when they ask how to beat the game with 1 spell. I'll give them tips when their spell list looks like Magic Missile Fan of Flames, Blink, Disperse, Freeze, Wheel of Death, and they need a way to drag that build over the finish line.

Deal?

It seemed like a good choice for sitting there and letting my frozen ramparts, ice beast and ice clouds do all the work while I sit there. The stat boosts are nice too. What should I do instead? I'm not really a min-maxer the farthest I've ever gotten in the game is beating lair and orc.

>>570210380
Vehumet and Ashenzari are probably the best gods you could get for a typical blaster caster Deep Elf. Get conjurations that kill things fast. They have good aptitudes for ranged weapons too, but it's hard to guarantee getting a good weapon if you go that direction.

>>570210380
The best caster gods are ones that don't distract from blasting. Chei is okay and you only need a small amount of invocations to get step from time usable and slouch damage isn't invocations dependent but it's a bit wasted unless you want to hybridise which is hard to balance. For example you would never train much armour before late game on a Vehumet caster but you'll need to if you want fire/ice dragon armour and still cast big spells. Outside of Vehumet and Ash like the other anon said, Ru is a good caster god (good for everyone really) with a free MP heal once per fight or apocalypse which is like slouching but better and his passive defence aura is very valuable. Many of the sacrificed things impact casters less than melee tabbers. Gozag potion petition is very strong for casters and you can spam it after early game, plus bonus book and jewelry shops. Bribe branch is still very strong for dealing with Zot and branch ends. I wouldn't bother with Sif I'm not sure what the point is now it doesn't really help you where you need it.

Yeah RW is definitely not a Slay the Spire type game where you are a slave to what the game gives you. I laser focus in on what I want and view level pick ups as just extras to my power. At least that's how I do it for 2, maybe in 3 it's different.
