ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

You want the ToME 4 forums closer to the top of the index.

Shouldn't there be instadeath protection on zone entry? I'm sure that was a thing in the original T2. Also, I'm not 100% certain, but I think there was an inviolable 2 or 3 tile radius around the @ in which enemies couldn't spawn. I can't have my nostalgic experience of edge scumming the mountains f...

I never code delved ToME myself because I had trouble with Lua's lack of punctuation, but I remember it being a known thing that Runecraft was broken and didn't reward skill investment. I can't say anything directly about how to fix it because I never used runecrafting for all that it was a cool ide...

First and most clearly bad, there's the interaction between Augmentation and Beyond the Flesh. Augmentation increases dexterity and strength. Beyond the Flesh replaces dexterity and strength with will and cunning. Since BtF comes with the psionic slot no possible Mindslayer build does not have it. A...

I know that as a Sun Paladin or Anorthil in this version I'd rather save a generic than get one chant above 5. They're not that good.

Log attached.

The ToME launcher attempts to update and crashes in Windows 10 Home x64 on March 17, 2017. It gets to "unpacking download". The progress bar is at 1 1/8 inch out of 5 5/8 inches when the crash occurs.

at this point you might as well make it work on every negative status instead of just "pretty much all of them" Probably not all of them. There are way too many different poisons and opening up more interactions with that tree than just possibly spydric if it counts as a pin would probabl...

Backstab triggers on "disabling conditions" but the list is missing some conditions that seem like they should be on it. Concussion is disabling in the same sense as silence and while it only comes from one talent, it's a talent belonging to a class that has Dirty Fighting as a locked tree...

Why is something that's obviously causing problems for the game being treated as an immutable fact rather than another problem to fix? If NPC primary stat bonuses are breaking secondary statistic scaling get rid of them and instead give direct bonuses to the secondary statistics that they need and ...

Anyway, i would prefer saves remaining a nonfactor because buffing saves would buff enemies, which both get more raw stats and thus saves and have less consistent status removal - all players that aren't running deliberate challenge builds have access to wild infusions (tho it would be nice if phys...

If you're hitting your wall in the Vor Armory you can probably unlock Sun Paladin if you haven't already. Shield builds of SP are very good at not dieing on normal. Just avoid radiant horrors. Your main tanking sustains will heal them and if you turn them off you're just a crappy bulwark.

If Elemental Split is active when the boss copies you he will create copies of your stone and crystaline halves until he fills all space within a radius around himself while producing a ridiculous stream of Lua errors. This apparently repeats every round since the game continues to spit out large nu...

I'd suggest making the penalties scale as well as the benefits with the number of items. Right now, opening the tree will severely penalize you for no meaningful upside until you're into the mid-game. And eat your generic points on top of it. The penalties need to be negligible for the level 1 curse...

That's a bit pessimistic. :P You aren't in complete control of what items and enemies spawn in this game, and no matter how hard you try you can't stop a certain plot item falling into the wrong hands. But that stuff is what makes the game fun, not annoying. Going from feeling that your character i...
