bring back orc breeding pit

What is that and why was it removed?

It was racist, sexist and has no place in today's society.

A (((certain group of people))) didn't approve of the fact that you get a "genocide" achievement for completing it.

 

[Sykar]

Looks impressive to a T.O.M.E scrub like me:


Funny to see 5 resource bars on a character as well. I had 3 once on one of my archmages when I got chronomancy from escort quest but otherwise?

 

[Lacrymas]

Insanity, vim, mana, balance (nature classes), and stamina. I'm probably forgetting something.

 

[Rafidur]

Paradox, Steam Tank, Psi, Hatred... if you like 'em resource bars try possessor.

 

[Sykar]

What just happened? Spanked some rare minotaur in the Maze and suddenly unlocked the Skirmisher class, the game telling me that I have learned the power of counter striking from afar. I have NO idea what that even means. I thought counterstriking is reserved for guys with shields? How the hell did I do this on my Paradox Mage? All I did was using my Temporal Shield and Dust to Dust. It was the Minotaur who had the block ability.

 

[Lacrymas]

It's a known bug with the unlock for that class. It just happens sometimes.

 

[Sykar]

Guess I was lucky. I took screenshots of the event, do you think it would be worthwhile showing the log on the forums over there?

 

[TwoEdge]

Wouldn't hurt, but I don't think it'd help, either. I unlocked skirmishers the same way in 2014 so, at this point, I think it's a feature.

For clarity, it seems the bug is: if the enemy you're facing fulfills the unlock condition (blocking an attack from 5 tiles or more and then shooting with the counterstrike debuff), you earn it yourself.

Well, I was actually one of them. I didn't cry or something, just told it's a bit disturbing to kill children. Who could have thought it woul be cut.

It's a guy from russian tome discord heh.

 

[Fenix]

Also - WTF?
I though roguelikes being discussed in roguelike thread?
I would never gussed to look for thread outside, and just found it accidentally.
Ask your questions, I'm half-wit expert on game with almost 4K hours hehe.

My last serious character was Shalor-Guns with focus on speed - non-magical escort tree from sun-pal that gives global speed, was planned to take windtouched speed, and later parasite necklace, with focus on mind damage with Scuttermind, like I did with Psyshot who did 100K damage in 3-4 turn I think.
As an option - archer with slings with same goal.
But unfortunately, I was careless, so got caught in melee range near reaver at Dark Crypt - forget to drop all heavy gear, got disease that reduced Str, so could not move.

Spoiler

After that I was trying to make something playable from Wanderer, with almost no luck - ove char that got mech-spider and shadows stumbled on adventureres patrol and died at 21.
Other than that Wanderer is a mess.

 

[Sykar]

Well I am still in the honeymoon phase so mostly dicking around early and mid level trying out a lot of stuff. Currently having loads of fun on my paradox and archmage.

 

[Fenix]

Yeah, PM is super cool, you don't evn ned to understand how he actually work to win the game.
AM is tiresome with all these cast a shield enchance a shield things, otherwise he won't survive autoexplore, at least on Insane.

 

[Sykar]

Is it even possible to beat Urkis as a level 19 alchemist? I got max lightning resists, chant for 30% damage reduction, yet he melts my golem in 3 rounds and me in 4 while taking next to no damage. This is idiotic and not fun at all having no tools apart from 4 seconds silence, at best. If you make a glass cannon, stop removing the glass and replace it with titanium. This is normal for fucks sake this should not be teeth grinding idiotic.

 

[Lacrymas]

All optional fights have been severely buffed in one of the somewhat recent patches. Ukris killed me twice in my current run as a lvl 20 Writhing One and I had 70ish% base lightning resist (this is on nightmare). And he's one of the easiest optional bosses.

 

[Sykar]

Huh? Isnt he part of the main quest? Into Darkness quest is also pretty harsh, got alternate maze boss and Har'kor on Daikara...

 

[Lacrymas]

Huh? Isnt he part of the main quest?

No, he's a side quest. Even if he were part of the "main quest", the only thing you have to kill оn the starting continent is the Master, you can skip everything else and the game will continue on as normal.

 

[Sykar]

Starting continent? How many more are there?

 

[zapotec]

There are two

 

[Lacrymas]

Soonish three. We haven't heard anything about that in a while, though, but I'm sure he's still working on it.

 

[Sykar]

Damn, my cold thaumaturge archmage runs around Dreadfell level 4 right now and my paradox mage is climbing up Daikara still. Have not played that much but felt like playing my dwarf alchemist today. 3 deaths, glad I am still palying with training wheels on, though I think if I were more willing to flee I would not have died that much. I just hate running away.

Urkis has always been a nukefest and obnoxious to deal with unless you have some kind of silence/antimagic. Lightning resistance won't save you against him because if you can't turn off his sustains, the final sustain skill in the Tempest skill tree grants him a very high lightning resistance penetration (pardon that I don't remember the value). And I've always found Urkis to be a rather late-20s boss than pre-20, but that might be because I mostly played very fragile classes that had better luck even doing early Dreadfell than trying to fight some optional bosses like Urkiss

 

[Sykar]

I managed to kill him around 25 on my archmage though just barely. Problem is that my now level 20 alchemist despite huge resistances thanks to a dozen pieces of resist gear still feels fairly squishy. Weird. I did find out how to deal more damage. That third bomb talent really cranks up the damage in closed spaces. I did not think that the damage increase is that big but you do not even need much to get it to work just throwing bombs against a wall triggers it.
