ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I like almost all classes (except Cursed and Alchemist), but especially melee-caster hybrids, which I prefer to play as pure melee or pure caster characters, usually contrary to which one they are meant to focus on; I generally like to overspecialise. I remember pure melee Solipsists being very fun,...

This is honestly probably by far the most disingenuous argument possible so I'm not sure what you expect me or anyone else to say--have you actually played both builds? Not much, I prefer to play storm, arcane or unspecialized. I was never trying to say that differently specialized Archmages play e...

Calling their ammo limited is misleading at best and basically outright wrong at worst. I think you might even be able to have enough without even using extract gems using what you pick up, but even if you couldn't any concerns go right out the window with extract gems. I'm not saying it severely r...

Yes, of course Archmages have more than just one spell. In fact, they can learn a large (and initially perhaps somewhat confusing) range of spells which makes them quite flexible (unless they intentionally choose non-complementary skills); their class trees are all rather similar and focused on dire...

Im not sure about this whole alchemists are super hard to play argument. They are the first class I ever played, back when this was still tales of middle earth 4. Easiest class ever. If the player cant figure out "blow shit up" then they probably shouldnt have access to archmages yet eith...

I think displaying the player's and every monster's energy and exact cooldowns would be the easiest solution.

I think it's possible by deleting the "allow_build.profile" files (on Windows, they are in C:\Users\[username]\T-Engine\4.0\profiles\online\modules\tome\ and ...\profiles\offline\modules\tome\) and not logging in to your online account.

I don't see the point. Adventure gives you enough lives (even infinitely many if you play in cheat mode), and playing in Roguelike and then complaining that your death is final is just silly.

Aeryn also tells you you have to do the Prides, and does not indicate that you should wait with them. And some of those other dungeons are not at all closer to Gates of Morning than the Prides. It's not too far-fetched to assume that the Prides are about as difficult as the other dungeons. Yes, and...

1. NPCs in the east tell you where to go. The paladin mentions the breeding pits, the NPC by the weapon shop mentions the spider cave. Zemekkys sends you to Vor Armory. All these dungeons are very close to where you start, obvious in placement. Aeryn also tells you you have to do the Prides, and do...

This looks more like a problem of the golem's damage reflection than of Fillarel. Either it shouldn't reflect damage to friendlies at all or it shouldn't turn them hostile.

I don't think it makes sense for racial abilities to require assigned ability points. These should come automatically with a character's level and should be separate from either skills or generics (the lack of generic points is a major survival problem anyhow). Treating racials differently from oth...

It might be more intuitive to mark those that the character cannot learn, but either way, at least one of the two does need marking. Since I couldn't cancel getting out of it, I had to restart the game. Couldn't you just have chosen any category and closed the levelup screen without confirming your ...

Spending a category point on an unlocked category improves your mastery by 0.2. The effect of every point spent on a talent is multiplied by the mastery in its category (for most talent effects at least; for some, only the raw point investment counts). Masteries before category point investment rang...

I like them, mostly. Str Vicious strikes - Your daze effects have (str/3) chances not to break on damage. Critical chance on dazed targets increased by (str/4)% Note: This is made with changes to daze in the svn in mind. This would surely make an awesome combination with Steamroller. Dex Ambidexteri...
