Re: What's your most stupid/silly death in MAngband?

Mine has gotta be this one: http://www.mangband.org/Main/HighScoreChart?v=1.1.0?dump=SchMage-944515550 This was after I learned the phrase 'zoo=never worth it', but before I finally realized that never really did mean never. I saw some rather juicy looking dracolisks in there that I wanted to fight....

Re: Potions of Healing

Though it pains me to say this... The current system of inexpensive but rare heals from the BM causes massive cheese. A character can just sit outside the BM, but a heal pots, and trade them for cash and stat pots for easy, risk-free, sustainable stat gain. I am of the opinion that pricing (and perh...

Re: The Next Server's Quest Monsters ans Hounds

I'm thinking that that would be a bit of new and tedious coding.

It would, however, make it so that drujes or Qs can't screw you over just like Zs.
The devs probably don't want that though, since Qs and ss won't 1-round you, while Zs will.

Its simpler and less intrusive to just remove Zs on stairs.

Re: The Next Server's Quest Monsters ans Hounds

It is the same. Its just that mangband is a lot tougher. Your not going to hit destruct on your first turn. First off, their is some lag in the connection. So the instant you hit that destruct button when you see those hounds is not when the game realizes you want to destruct. Secondly, unlike in an...

The Next Server's Quest Monsters ans Hounds

Next server, I believe it is on the mangband checklist to make Sauron and Morgoth quest monsters once again in the sense that you cannot go past their depth until you have killed them. Because of this, I believe that it would be reasonable to remove hounds on < and > instead of just >. Otherwise, 'd...

More bullet time options

Had a good idea to add to bullet time thanks to Hades' post. When detecting, you can become very vulnerable right now. A monster may decide to come at you while you are still detecting, and pwn the F out of you. To counteract this, the game could go into bullet time while detecting. If your in a par...

Yes. I was joking. Thats why I had the asterisk there.

Re: Artifacts...

*Yes. I stand strong on my position that every character should lose all of their arts if they do not play for three days. And I mean actually play and do a dive, not just log in and out. I mean, seriously, If you aren't playing constantly, your just a drain on this game from the true players. Also,...

Re: Items - pricing - only pricing...

Well, parts of it we need to adopt...not all of it. For example, it is now not tough to find and buy +10 speed boots from 2/7. They're taking a step to the right side of pricing, but I don't think that they are quite there yet. We mangbanders need to fix our pricing system for ourselves. Pricing is ...

Re: Starting a Mage

I disagree, but then, i commonly play half troll rogues. With them, unless you never want any money till you start getting charisma pots, your gonna want to choose charisma before others. But really, for most every class, charisma is more important than at least one state. For magic people, its more...

Re: Gold disappears in shops

perhaps have the game try to remove less valuable items first, like it does in death could be a temporary solution? I know that having it check the values of *all* items could be bad, so perhaps instead you just have a It look for items under a certain value. If it can't find any, you will move the ...

Re: Thoughts on the new items in v1.0+

So here are my thoughts on all of these items Boots: The elvenkind boots are mostly useless. The fact that they have a lower max speed, and the fact that stealth is tougher to utilize in mangband make them rarely usable. Stability boots and me have an awkward relationship. I hate them cus they are d...
