Re: New to ToME

I think the adventurer parties scale with your level. Technically you *should* be able to win every fight, but realistically not so much.

Fun Fact: I once spawned inside a tree during the ambush.

My understanding is: No, have fun as the golem for as long as you can.

Re: New to ToME

Personally I would steer away from making the game easier, instead choose adventure mode so you have some lives to spare and learn from the mistakes that kill you. (Only been playing about a month as well, though, but now I have a lvl 20 rogue on RL who's (hopefully) about to finish the tier two dun...

Re: This sort of thing makes the game unbalanced...

My argument, however, is that having a "can I deal with this" calculation that is reliable and predictable is not a good thing. The whole point of a RL is to deal with those situations where you realize "oh &*@^ I cannot deal with this... or can I?!" <frantic search through t...

Re: What aggravates you the most or keeps you in ToME?

Aggravation:
--> Almost entirely, I am aggravated with myself when I do dumb things.

I stay for:
--> The challenge
--> The scale
--> The unique setting and awesome "blur" of MMO and RL.

Re: a review from a newcomer - and some suggestions

Yes, I strongly disagree with high level warnings, the fun of exploring the world and going "Oh shi-- " and running back to the stairs is a major part of the RL experience. You learn quickly where you should and should not go initially.

Re: A bit frustrated

I have to redact my earlier post, I was playing a Cornac Reaver and a purple named troll spawned on lvl 1 of the trollmire. Was rather confused.

Re: This sort of thing makes the game unbalanced...

Level 25 enemies are the norm in early vaults from what I can tell so it's always a risk you take diving in there. The rest of this is a case study in "why you should hunt for movement/escape items/skills before taking big risks". Those new to RL are probably playing on normal and would ha...

Re: Tales of Maj'Eyal registered on Steam Greenlight - Go Vo

There should be a death montage in the video.. Complete with the DUN dun sound. It worked for games like God Hand and Dark Souls.

Re: A bit frustrated

Yeah of all the starting areas I've experienced, Trollmire is one of the easier ones. First zone has no purp rares, so no worries there, it's just big trolls and small game.. a snake here and there. They shouldn't be stacking negative effects on you as far as I am aware, and Prox isn't a certain Rea...

Re: Give rare items an ego

I once had a rare amulet drop. It did nothing. Literally, it was like I picked up a white amulet. Sold for 9 gold though!

Re: Buying rune slots with cat. points needs better explanat

On this same vein, where the flip do you add more inscription slots?

I checked the wiki, no mention of it... nothing in the FAQ either? I know they can be bought with category points, but no where on the level up screen does it explain how or where you go to add a new slot..
