Re: Can't play game when server is offline

Playing on-line is fun -- darkgod activates otherwise inaccessible zones, sends gifts and whatnot. Not to mention the online chat.

Once it works, it is great.

When it does not work, on the other hand, that's another kettle of fish.

Can't play game when server is offline

te4.org seems to have hiccups today. The game is unplayable without connection: it attempts to register my character online each time I exit dungeon. It takes a minute or longer untill it fails and lets me play. I can't access my saves as it says they're incompatible (why?). Loading takes considerab...

Re: Embers of Rage: Release date!

Launched it, tried it, can't understand a bit so far. I am sipping on a coffee now -- it will be a long night.

Re: How to get the character to 20th level

I can made it past 20 level with little or no problems no (depending on the class I play). 30-ish is the new threshold. Mind if I ask why you recommend to "Play roguelike"? (personally, I also prefer roguelike mode; in this mode the bond is stronger. After first death I feel like "meh...

Re: Synergies: What are your favorite synergies? ...combos?

While I know this is necrothreading, I am quite surprised that this thread didn't gain more popularity. There are a lot of things to learn for mid-experienced players, who do have a grasp of the game mechanisms but still are learning how to use them effectively. I am only familiar with two classes: ...

Re: [1.4.3] Monsters don't show up when meditating (minor)

Actually, that's what I thought.

In case of Meditation/Earth's Eyes, however, it would make more sense if the effect would trigger once the ability is activated; there are situations where you CAN'T move but you want to see the monsters.

Re: Move crit shrug off from Dexterity to Constitution

But there are just too many levels or too many stat points for that. It worked for D&D because con mod usually wasn't going to exceed 6 and there were only 20 levels before epic where they stopped even pretending to care about balance. In ToME you're multiplying 50 levels by 60+ stat points. Th...

Re: [1.4.3] Stn Wrdn summons halves - just 1 shows up (mjr/c

The other half would also fail to show up in some circumstances but without an error. It just isn't there on summon. I don't know why.

Re: How to get the character to 20th level

I have everything turned off. The game would lag, nonetheless, from time to time. In alt-Daikara, with metheors falling down from the sky, it would freeze for a second or two, prior to rendering metheor and the crash site.

Re: Move crit shrug off from Dexterity to Constitution

Out of curiosity, in terms of fixing constitution: wouldn't it be better if constitution gave a small amount of hp per level? As I understand, the +4 hp is per point, irrespectively of when the point is assigned. The hp per level would give an incentive to invest in con as early as possible.

Thank you.

Didn't read this yet but it will be on top of my list when I decide to give wyrmics a spin.
