ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Stealth in this game can be very strange. I've repeated hit occurrences of seeing a thief, I start to mouse over him, and THEN he disappears without me taking any action. I typically just attack the square that I saw him in, just seems really strange to have things change without an action being tak...

I played an Archmage with that ring that splits all damage into Fire/Ice/Lightning/Arcane. Worked pretty well to help with these, though the ring screwed me over when my arcane shield would pop. Ended up killing myself that way.

Is that a bug? I figured it was because it led to a floor that had air. It also gives you a chance to rest before fighting the boss.

I agree more tweaking is needed, however: It means that you can't use your early skills What do you mean ?? If an "early" talent is not worth it later on it's a bug of the talent not of the respec system Let's take Temporal Warden as an example. Say you know you plan on being an archer. A...

Personally, I don't like the change. It means that you can't use your early skills, since you will be leveling too much before you get access to a town. I think it would make more sense if it just took multiple turns to do, so that it would be impractical to do during a fight, but a cleared level wo...

So, I started a new Temporal Warden. When playing, I went to adjust my skills, and it said that I needed to be in town to remove skills. This was kind of strange, but since I was just starting, I was gaining levels quickly, and I did not want the skill I wanted removed to become permanent, so I used...

Poisons could be okay, but the role of the various Archmage categories makes that a really bad idea, both because it vastly constricts Archmage builds(All of them now get Meta/Temporal), and because it vastly upgrades a strong class. (Also pretty notably upgrades Arcane Blade.) Poisons could be oka...

So when playing through the game, it's really exciting when you do something to unlock a new category (Poisons, Storm, Stone, etc.) It is very disappointing though when you realize that the new category isn't usable, and that you need a category point to unlock them. It just seems that if you do the...

I agree that it seems odd. Just meant to me that I wasn't going to use lightning bombs.

I got the Voidstar, and after trying to move the talent to a different location on the bar, I kept getting lua errors. Even unintalling the addon didn't fix it, so I just scrapped the character and started a new one. Would look forward to this addon when it doesn't cause those errors though.

Do alternate zones affect the tiers of items that drop? Twice now when playing an archmage I've gotten the alternate Trollmire, and both times I noticed that it was dropping up to tier 3 items. I'm going to the Trollmire right after the beginning Archmage area.

if you are 100% str-based wyrmic you're never going to use them due to having no willpower. That's what bad design is. I wasn't aware that anyone did 100% Str-based Wyrmics. I guess that's like a Rogue who avoids Cunning? Is that a thing which people actually do? This is a direct passage from the w...

Honestly, it sounds like what you really want is to be able to tag an item as
"locked", so that you can't sell it without unlocking the item first.

Well, here are some of my "New Player Experiences" that were not that great. 1. No starting Mage class. The Alchemist seems like a very odd choice to be the base class for Mages, and you don't get a normal mage until you get the Archmage. 2. It took me a long time to unlock the Archmage, b...

Where is that option?
