ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

First off, apologies--I posted about this a couple days in the autoexplore improvement thread, but I'm not sure how much visibility that gets (it's an old thread with multiple pages and I often skip over that sort of thing) and this is something that's been driving me crazy lately and I'd really lik...

Playing on nightmare, it's just occurred to me that a shockingly stupid number of my character deaths are due to auto-explore breaking a turn after I see an enemy. Essentially, when autoexploring any enemies I run across will always get a turn on me. For example, I have a ridiculous number of deaths...

"Your launcher should automatically update your game so no need to redownload it all." Is this working for others? Neither this nor the previous release auto-updated on my machine. Not a big deal as I can always still download the new version in full, but it does sound like a better way to...

It also couples cheesily well with Inferno, which doesn't otherwise get a lot of love (though I realize this is an arcane-only build).

Congrats! That just sounds like a tough win.

How was Stone compared to Lightning? Did you use lightning early game and then respec once you opened Stone, or did you basically run it melee throughout the early game?

Noel--so essentially the stores that also give other options, like talent unlocks or ring creation?

Yeah, seems like you found a dreadmaster, which can be awful for melee types. Unless something's changed recently (I haven't played many melee characters that far recently), that guy will keep summoning hordes of dreads until you take him out or just abandon the level altogether. They'll also chase ...

As you're already getting a Negative bar, Hymns would be amusing as well (probably stepping on anorothil's toes too much there, though).

I wonder...does the damage reduction from stun affect dmg-when-hit?

Harkor Zun: the only thing that comes to mind is, he can move through walls. Sometimes guys who can move through walls, if they don't target you, just tend to mull around inside the wall. If that's the case, you can run around casting track or a detect wand or something like that until you find him,...

Thanks! Probably the sign that's the problem. Never occurred to me.

EDIT: Yep, that did it.

Is there some trick to the whole betraying escorts without going anti-magic bit? Right now, I can betray escorts after going anti-magic, but I never get the option otherwise. Several runs on a mindslayer today, for instance, in the starter dungeons with only starting equipment and talents, I don't g...

Ah, so it does. I'll just...uhhh...HEY, WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE???

**abashedly runs away**

Just a minor tweak.... Currently "tab" key switches panes in the inventory. Allow "shift-tab" to switch panes in the opposite direction. When I'm on a roll, I often accidentally blow past the pane I'm looking for, making me have to cycle through again. This is usually done at eve...

What's giving you trouble, in particular? 1. At that level, you should be able to 2 or 3-shot most things. Invoke Darkness, Fear the Night, and Rigor Mortis should be regularly hitting for at least 200 or 300 each at that point, which is generally more than enough to take down the normal foes. 2. I ...
