Seeing red

#1 Post by Grey »

I'm sure this is old news by now, but drakes are beginning to annoy me:

This is the first char I've gotten past the Old Forest. I've been through far too many drakes already, and whilst running away from several hundred cold drake hatchlings and their mothers on the previous level, the first thing I find on the next level was the above. Well, actually, it was just one fire drake a few turns ago.

I'm in a bit of a crisis now, since I can't retreat into the cold drakes, and getting past the fire ones is a bit of a nuisance. Only spell that'll damage them is lightning, and it takes about 4 castings to kill a mommy. Coupled with cooldowns that means normally 2 or 3 moms have been summoned before I kill the first.

I've killed enough fecking drakes and hatchlings to last me a lifetime already, I can't take any more of this!!!

Well feck, that didn't end well. Turns out that was the boss level, and guess who I teleported right next to when trying to phase my way away from the drakes? I tried putting up a fight, but ran out of healing supplies and got frozen. The fecking annoying thing is I could have dealt with the boss mano-a-wyrmo, but with the drakes having drained my HP, healing supplies and blocking all retreat I was well and truly buggered.

You need to wait for beta 12. Beta 11 is unplayable as it is because of the summoning. See this thread for more funny examples: http://forums.te4.org//viewtopic.php?f=41&t=22677
