ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hi, decided to play a bit after some time away, DL'd 1.3.3 and installed as usual. When I try to start a new game the loader bar goes to 100% but then nothing happens. End of log file looks like: [DISPLAY MODE] Tileset: shockbolt [DISPLAY MODE] Size: 32x32 Loading tileset attachements from /data/gfx...

If loot is generated on level generation to avoid boss drop scumming with time manipulation then that's the only time luck could effect loot generation. Yes, but it doesn't use your luck score directly, it uses a rolling average of your luck score that's updated when you kill stuff. So you can't ga...

Having loot generated at kill instead of at level generation would also bring back the ability to game the system with chronomancy trickery, this was changed quite a while ago. I think it makes more sense as it is, at the same time I do like making luck more meaningful. Also worth considering that a...

Is this not fixed in 1.3.x? I've been running a skirmisher and, um, handling the Pouch and haven't noticed anything I didn't expect. I think I get the free reload as I should.

I like it, going for the darker feel is a "nice" departure from most of the other similar character journals I've seen around here.

But it has the same or similar warning when you try to move the rock, so I figured it would work the same as the other vaults.

Beware that Bill's lair does *not* preserve dropped equip like the rest of the vaults though. Found that out the hard way

This is pretty fun! I have some kind of cursed/solipsist with a dash of chronomancy running now. Bit of a glass cannon, and in the long run I'm not sure what I will be able to do to counteract that, but I'm doing pretty well for now, boosting Wil for both Cursed and Psionic trees. http://te4.org/cha...

I've had the same thing happen with a Fearscape invasion portal too.

AFAIK Robes of Reflection can only be dropped by the Slazish Fens boss.

The Sandworm Queen can sometimes die from being buried in sand. Makes finding her heart annoying! Guess you just have to explore as much sand as possible and hope you find her "corpse". Check your log for some message like "you feel a surge of power as an enemy falls nearby", tha...

Your Armour Training skill gives a big boost to armour hardiness and other stuff when using heavy armour. Even so, I'd probably lean towards the Behemoth Hide at this stage; straight life and stat boosts are just great, especially early game. As far as daggers, the Scalpel is nice to hang on to just...

Can you make sure you are actually wearing heavy armour? More than one person in the past has reported a bug like this with armour training, but note that these bonuses only activate if you are currently wearing the correct equipment. So this is the first thing to check.

I just went east with a no-sleep Yeek Solipsist who is kicking butt, aided by two vault-stashed overpowered mindstars. I'm using Solipsism and Feedback for shields and healing. Disruption tree is great because of the long-range; toss a Maelstrom in at the start of boss fights, then use the rest of t...

Try looking at the item right after you use it.
