ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I'm playing a game on Insane, as I normally do, and this is the first time I've seen this event pop up. So I enter it... and I can't leave. The boss screen is insta-death. Why?!? Why do this? This is just unnecessary and it isn't fun. Either I ignore any and all extra content forever or I sacrifice ...

Worst death ever... I've had lots of deaths in this game but none frustrated me as much as this one. I'm level 30, exiting the Spellblaze with a a rock-solid Sun Paladin. Just got Adept as my first prodigy and I'm one-shotting practically everything. Accidentally double-tap a button and end up not e...

What the freaking hell just happened? I literally got one shot, at level 12!!!, through 800 in combined life/shields mostly by something called "tempest of metal." It hit me, seriously, like 15 times. ZERO status effects. What the hell?!? How is it that the Sun Paladin is the MOST fragile ...

Picked this up again: cold/aether skeleton. This build has pretty high survivability and the extra shield has been a lifesaver more than once. The real improvement was making use of the Phantasm category. While I don't really make use of the invisibility much, Mirror Image is now the universal opene...

I decided to go with my patented "dimwit doomed" build because I finally picked up the Feedback category early and... yeah, smooth sailing. I didn't go anti-magic this time, just for fun, but when you do, I'm not sure if there's a more resilient build in the entire game. UPDATE: I went wit...

I finally got around to testing this build on Insane and... yeah, it holds up nicely. Glad everyone had fun with it. I decided to go with a fairly dubious combination and went with Cursed Aura instead of anti-magic and a Doomelf (removed point from first racial an removed runes in order to betray th...

So... I got through the starting zone, Trollmire, and Crystal Caves (or whatever) and now I've hit a wall. Every single T1 left is blocked by either a Unique with Summoner, Necro, or Steamtech Gunner skills, usually in combination with Oozemancer skills as an added FU, and I do mean blocked. They're...

Basically, having EoR dilutes your equipment pool, making it MUCH harder to find good gear.

Additionally, the gunners... on uniques and bosses (Insane), they're just killers.

I've made three Doomed and thus far, all of them got 1-shot in a t-1 including my most recent, which had picked up a ton of extra life and so she had over 400 life on level 11. Thoughtform Bowmanx2 took her down as I stepped around a corner. What kind of gear is required to survive early Insane with...

+2

And the exit to the arena...

Rime Wraith is almost a great category and it really complements the skeleton build except for the fact that if the enemy the Rime Wraith is occupying dies, it simply ends. Due to its prohibitive cost and function, this makes it almost useless unless the only enemy is super strong, which other than ...

While I don't speak for the devs, I will offer something for consideration... It's not actually a small request. Any information presented is either entirely for personal consumption (in which case it isn't necessary) or public. It doesn't matter if it's transgenderism or religion or political ID or...

In theory, I've moved all of my data over to a new computer but Tome appears to be missing as all of my characters and unlocks are gone. So, the question is: what files am I looking for (I'm sure there somewhere) and where do I put them to restore the game? UPDATE: The unlocks are restored once I lo...

Higher cold mage... The cold mage is a little trickier than fire or lightning or aether. It's a close-quarter combat mage who needs a lot of evasion, speed, and defense in order to survive (and ideally any other form of damage mitigation). Cruising... only weakness was a lack of silence resistance (...

So, I corrupted the heart of the sandworm and received the corrupted one but the original didn't go away so now I have two. I used them both and received the bonuses for each, including Harmony and Vile Life.

Clearly a bug, yes?
