slight slight chance that the random h is a mf? 09:08 {Demo}1: the xnh mkclass fix is literally just removing a rn2(2) call lol 09:08 rebatela, as i said, XL1/DL3 => no chance of minesflayer 09:08 (in the old mkclass) 09:08 same thing with the purple L or whatever at castle.. it's been ike that as long as I can remember 09:09 i've kind of accepted that that's the game 09:09 oh i see. so they changed it and made it worse? lol 09:09 time for you to come back to xnh again, where the purple L will only spawn if you're actually high level enough to put them in-difficulty 09:10 i agree that OOD monsters add to the challenge . just my opinion though. and like i said, I've never known any different 09:10 [hdf-us] [nh362] oh6 (Hea Gno Fem Neu) killed the Cyclops, on T:47240 09:10 -!- stenno has joined #hardfought 09:10 [hdf-us] [nh362] oh6 (Hea Gno Fem Neu) acquired the Bell of Opening, on T:47241 09:10 ais argued the same thing 09:11 rebatela, the change they were making was not to fix minesflayer though to be fair 09:11 [hdf-us] [nh362] Karnac (Pri Hum Mal Neu), 1952 points, T:1459, killed by a gnome lord, while frozen by a potion 09:11 oh i see. side effect 09:11 yeah maybe they just yolo-refactored this 09:12 it's much simpler to grasp now 09:12 but the problem is, they're out of difficulty for a reason. you can contrive any number of scenarios where tossing in an out of difficulty monster spells certain death for a player 09:12 <{Demo}1> depends how out of depth 09:12 i also never dfv so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me 09:12 <{Demo}1> and in what part of the game 09:13 i stand by my point that randomly-generated OOD is never good and also doesn't add to the challenge 09:13 and i am glad that xnh doesn't have randomly-generated OOD 09:13 you DO like to dig to the castle though, right? 09:13 <{Demo}1> do 3.6.2 shapeshifters or perma polyd monsters even care about depth? 09:14 {Demo}1, no not in vanilla 09:14 rebatela, yes, thats an actual challenge 09:14 well not if you can't face the monsters because they are "out of depth" 09:14 <{Demo}1> isn't a goblin drinking a potion of polymorph and turning into an arch lich a bit bigger a problem that the castle L being purple and not red? 09:14 -!- stenno has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 09:15 {Demo}1: I mean, I fixed all those cases too. 09:15 rebatela, purple L is a slightly different problem: those are supposed to only generate randomly in gehennom 09:16 i just don't see how it's out of depth if they aren't changing it. it's clearly the game at this point ? 09:16 The only place you can encounter out of difficulty monsters in xnethack now is in bones files. 09:16 rebatela: the game generates monsters that it considers by its own rules to be "toostrong" 09:17 and then it might still randomly pick a toostrong monster because shrug emoji 09:17 <{Demo}1> did you fix the gnome picking up a wand of death and killing you problem aos? 09:17 {Demo}1: Actually, just remembered that for some reason in vanilla, monsters using polymorph items *on themselves* keeps them in-difficulty. For some arbitrary reason. 09:17 <{Demo}1> not really 09:18 <{Demo}1> that can happen on dlvl 1 09:18 <{Demo}1> where as poly traps aren't a think until 7? 09:18 8 09:18 No, the polymorph result is kept in difficulty, whereas a polytrap will not respect difficulty. 09:18 <{Demo}1> yes 09:18 <{Demo}1> because by dlvl 8 you should be ready 09:19 ready to face an arch-lich or dragon or master mind flayer? 09:19 ready to face any random monster? 09:19 that 09:19 <{Demo}1> well why else would they make that the case? 09:19 <{Demo}1> if they don't expect you to be ready for that 09:20 because the devteam by no means carefully plans out the effects of their actions 09:20 <{Demo}1> that couldn't possibly be it :P 09:20 and specifically the balance implications 09:21 for balance stuff, you _need_ expert player feedback imo 09:21 too bad patr disregards expert opinions because most of the experts also play variants :v 09:28 [hdf-us] [nh362] Karnac (Pri Hum Mal Neu) made his first wish - "blessed rustproof +2 Mjollnir", on T:178 09:31 eh 09:32 i have difficulties talking bad about patr because for most of the time, he was the _only_ person of the devteam who would sometimes respond to anything 09:32 so i hold him in high regard 09:33 and without knowing any internals, i assume that patr is part of the progressives inside the devteam 09:33 i just think that similiarly to how orctown makes it so that the protection racket backfires sometimes, out of depth monsters you aren't expecting can make digging down backfire similarly 09:34 idk 09:34 they are not comparable imo 09:34 because most strategies can handle L by the time they reach the castle 09:34 [hdf-us] [fh] Qi (krm26) (Tou Hum Fem Neu), 31483 points, T:1347, killed by a fire ant 09:34 stennowork: based on commits we've seen, I have the opposite impression, because he hasn't ever really done anything since before 3.6.0 except fix bugs 09:35 <@luxidream> let’s say you fall down a trapdoor, hit castle 09:35 <@luxidream> you are now off the upstairs and an arch lich is summoning nasties around you 09:35 I get the impression that he likes nethack gameplay just the way it was in 3.4.3 and thinks it's feature-complete 09:36 <@luxidream> it could even teleport to you and cast touch of death 09:36 TBF, many said so in the 3.4.3 period 09:37 "the devteam made one hell of a game and it's finished" 09:37 <@luxidream> “Lol get MR noob” is not applicable since that’s probably why you’re going to castle in the first place 09:37 every variant developer would disagree of course 09:39 [hdf-us] [nh362] Karnac (Pri Hum Mal Neu), 624 points, T:1040, killed by a wand 09:39 3.4.3-NAO has shown how crappy vanilla 3.4.3 is 09:39 or rather, how much better it could be 09:39 I'm sure I've said this before but it doesn't appear like the devteam has any sort of vision for the future 09:40 luckily we have the progressive variant devs in the team now :) 09:40 [hdf-us] [nh362] Karnac (Pri Hum Mal Neu) made his first wish - "blessed rustproof +2 Mjollnir", on T:74 09:40 !asc karnac 09:40 stennowork: [hdf-us] karnac has not ascended in 2011 games. 09:40 stennowork: right, that's why I said 3.4.3 gameplay. UI enhancements and bugfixes don't count 09:40 aosdict, gotcha 09:42 @luxidream to be fair, "DL1 trapdoor go directly to castle do not pass go do not collect 200 zorkmids" is probably a death sentence even disregarding L. 09:42 and it never happens 09:42 bigroom would be less problematic if it wasn't for trapdoors 09:43 But yeah, "Lol get MR noob" because there might be a L that can cast Touch of Death. Only on here (IRC) have i ever heard that they aren't "supposed" be there 09:43 rebatela: I consider "a game ending effect happens a tiny but nonzero amount of time, and is therefore negligible" to be fallacious 09:43 IIRC the trap door fall is not limited 09:43 "happens a nonzero amount of time" should in itself be enough not to neglect it 09:43 rebatela, i am brutally calling minesflayer and purple L at castle a bug 09:43 I guess unless you cross dungeon branch boundaries 09:43 because they get generated when they shouldn't 09:44 so it's an oversight? 09:44 or they don't know how to fix it? 09:44 not that they don't want to ? 09:44 rebatela: This all ultimately comes down to your opinion of game balance: is it do you consider it balanced if the game can _ever_ randomly decide "Yep, here's an effect that'll functionally end your game with no recourse"? 09:44 yeah. It's just how I've always known the game to be. poison insteadeath etc 09:44 s/is it// 09:45 the chance to fall deeper than 5 levels is ~0.1% 09:45 and I knew that someone in unnethack fell as far as they got the YAFM for that 09:46 even falling 5 levels from dungeon level 1 is (likely) fata 09:46 fatal* 09:46 and it's the same thing with that. you NEED poison resistance as soon as possible. And below DL7 you do eveyrthing you can do have MR or unchanging etc 09:46 (how i play at least) 09:47 BUT like I was saying, i don't play for turn count obviously. I'm not in the same league as you guys 09:47 polytraps aren't game-endingly bad, at least, they're just annoying. 09:47 Poison or GWTWOD, yes. 09:47 priest or monk with a robe isn't game-ending, but it's close lol 09:47 rebatela, it's not considered a bug by the devteam 09:47 which? 09:48 (minesflayer/purple L) 09:48 the L at the castle? 09:48 oh ok 09:48 neither 09:48 (the reason they appear is the same though) 09:48 But the way it's coded is unintentional and now it's a feature? 09:48 i don't think it's unintentional 09:48 actually i am not really sure 09:49 well, it's intentional 09:49 what do you mean when you say you are brutally calling it a bug then ? 09:49 i am calling it a bug 09:49 the devteam doesn't 09:49 lol right on 09:49 much to my dismay 09:49 The way it's coded is that it looks at monsters in increasing order of difficulty, and while it normally stops at the last in-difficulty monster it 50% of the time chooses to break through and take the next out-of-difficulty monster (then this 50% gets repeated for the next, etc) 09:50 my fix was simply to remove that chance 09:50 [hdf-us] [xnh] Delraven (Cav Hum Mal Law), 718 points, T:1777, killed by a wand 09:51 yeah it creates a pool of all possible monsters with that method, and then picks a random one from the list, with less chance of a high-level monster being generated 09:51 with some special thingies 09:51 i should rewrite my mkclass spoiler to accomodate for the latest changes 09:51 I don't think that randomly generated out-of-difficulty monsters couldn't be _made_ to work, but it would take a ton of special casing 09:51 it's much easier to follow and explain now 09:56 <@luxidream> aosdict: worse is falling from mines:1 to mine’s end 09:56 there is a critical mines depth: 8, because then we might get polytraps 10:06 [hdf-us] [nh362] Karnac (Pri Hum Mal Neu), 1618 points, T:1804, killed by a dwarf 10:06 [hdf-us] [nh362] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) killed Master Kaen, on T:20072 10:07 [hdf-us] [nh362] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) acquired the Bell of Opening, on T:20147 10:12 -!- vpro has quit [Quit: leaving] 10:36 [hdf-us] [nh362] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) killed Medusa, on T:21794 10:47 [hdf-us] [nh362] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) entered Gehennom, on T:22385 10:50 [hdf-us] [nh362] Karnac (Pri Hum Mal Neu), 2437 points, T:2114, killed by a rope golem, while frozen by a monster's gaze 11:03 -!- Wolfechu has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 11:11 -!- stenno has joined #hardfought 11:12 -!- LarienTelrunya has joined #hardfought 11:12 -!- mode/#hardfought [+v LarienTelrunya] by ChanServ 11:12 [hdf-us] [nh362] Karnac (Pri Hum Mal Neu), 1090 points, T:2106, killed by a dwarf 11:16 -!- stenno has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 11:21 [hdf-us] [nh362] Grouchy (Wiz Hum Mal Cha) entered the Planes, on T:44130 11:21 [hdf-us] [nh362] Grouchy (Wiz Hum Mal Cha) killed the Wizard of Yendor (5 times), on T:44131 11:22 what even is this 11:22 https://github.com/msearle5/slicehack/commit/ca4ce833e07d387d54165fae99771c1fa794f62d 11:23 someone likes to bitshift 11:24 Does C not have binary literals 11:24 top quality clean and understandable code right there 11:28 i cant tell if this is sarcasm 11:28 having a sheldon moment 11:29 PavelB: it doesn't have binary literals but GCC supports 0b0101011 etc, according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18244726 11:31 > insufficient utility 11:32 they have a point, hex constants are the same but more compact 11:35 they're not the same. 11101010 is much clearer which bits it's setting than EA 11:37 ok but... if you do your constants properly, you don't really need to have a readable expression that flips the 7th bit 11:40 Well, if you have 7 different flags 11:42 Hey, did the original Dudley's Dungeon site (the one at nicolaas.net) go offline?

The master mind flayer hits! The master mind flayer's tentacles suck you!" 18:16 thanks guys. i almost rage quit this morning when i got orc town. i hate that when playing monk cuz no armor and protection kinda sucks 18:16 all worked out tho 18:17 orctown spreads some more loot through the deep mines now 18:17 i hate orctown (and i never use the word hate) 18:17 its not optimal 18:17 aosdict: yeah it has gotten better. still no priest though 18:17 but, uh, imo it's not really terrible either 18:18 but as a monk, if you don't find a temple or a tshirt , you're ac is kinda screwed 18:18 you can buc-ID with your pet at least 18:19 orctown def. makes the run more difficult 18:19 my xnh monk got orctown. it realls does suck 18:19 really 18:19 * aosdict muses on how you could guarantee an alternate refugee mines' end if and only if orctown appears 18:19 that would be cool if all the townies (or some of them) were hiding out at the bottom 18:20 yeah need to figure out how to do it internally without giving someone two towns 18:20 well really, if you get orc town you should get the orc mine's end 18:21 how about: there's a global variable which gets set if either a) you get Orctown or b) you somehow manage to get the refugee mines' end without generating minetown. If this flag is set, and you generate the other level of the two, it MUST be the orc apocalypse one. If off, when you generate the other level of the two, it must NOT. 18:21 orctown is bad but not unrevoarble 18:21 unrecovrable 18:22 [hdf-us] [nh362] RedArrow (Tou Hum Mal Neu), 87 points, T:305, killed by a falling rock 18:22 the only thing that's really different is the altar 18:22 well of course not. rebatela did it and so did i 18:22 remember, the problem is that the game doesn't actually decide which levels are generating until you visit them 18:22 both monks 18:22 there are non-orctown minetown with just one delicatessen 18:22 people playing xnh monks makes me happy because it's giving the new monk quest levels more exposure 18:23 monkeytown specifically can be very bad 18:23 minetown in my splice game sucked. it was bazaar town but the shops were useless 18:23 stenno: yeah there are crap towns with bad shops, but they still have a priest... that's all i was saying about playing monk. You can't buy protection, and you don't wear body armor. So it can be a challenge 18:24 i got a temple in this dungeon so it wasn't an issue, plus found a shirt in bones early on. But sometimes AC is capped at like 14 if no temple 18:24 (and no shirt) 18:24 for me the only problem is the altar tbh 18:24 i only started playing nh for real like a year ago. you guys are all pros!! this shit is hard for me lol 18:24 you cannot just go there and BUC your stuff 18:25 wtf? 18:25 i thought you were along for a long time 18:25 you can BUC your stuff in orc town 18:25 no stenno wants to waltz over and do it 18:25 nah maybe like a year and half or so i think 18:25 <@luxidream> but you can always convert it 18:25 yeah it's easy to convert 18:25 that's actually the good thing about there not being a priest 18:26 rebatela: always remember that there have been people playing for 20+ years who have never ascended :) 18:26 xnh orc town wasn't so bad because of the barricaded shop 18:26 haha. well that was me. I used to play locally since I was a kid. But always saved scummed and never got past castl e 18:26 I played rogue and original hack in the 80s. But not seriously 18:26 I've never yet seen anyone who stuck around on IRC for a while and didn't ascend in a reasonably short amount of time 18:27 <@luxidream> I think it sucks less to have an altar that you can convert 18:27 yeah. well, it's a lot easier now with spoilers 18:27 <@luxidream> than to have no altars in the dungeon that are possible to convert 18:27 <@luxidream> but to have temples 18:27 i had a no altar until the valley game once 18:27 so you were along for a long time, just not nline :) 18:27 online* 18:28 fair enough 18:28 but like i said. i was save scumming. doesn't really count 18:28 never learned how to id stuff etc 18:28 <@luxidream> I mean if karnac was here we could tell him not to wish for mjollnir 18:28 <@luxidream> but he's already gotten pretty close 18:29 @luxidream the thing about karnac is that they're like merpish 18:29 and pugman 18:29 <@luxidream> they do it on purpose? 18:29 i am not sure 18:29 see that i can't figure out 18:29 :D 18:29 they might all be the same person 18:29 <@luxidream> their highest scoring game, a dead barbarian 18:29 <@luxidream> seems to have been somewhat legit 18:30 <@luxidream> what suggests that they're dying to leave bones? 18:30 karnac seems to have found a really early wow, genocided themself, then died to something 18:30 nope, i've watched them a bit. that's not it 18:30 i mean like 18:31 all of these guys make sensible moves some of the time and insane moves at other times 18:31 either it's on purpose or they are really clueless 18:31 <@luxidream> I think luxor is legit though 18:31 as i said i can't tell 18:31 i find karnac bones a LOT 18:31 !asc luxor 18:31 stenno: [hdf-us] luxor has not ascended in 9639 games. | [hdf-eu] luxor has not ascended in 597 games. 18:31 i think i did this game actually 18:31 hehe 18:32 <@luxidream> he keeps splatting in slashem 18:32 <@luxidream> playing doppelganger valk 18:32 several empty bags.. that always pissed me off when bones pile is all outside of the containers 18:32 slash'em is prone to splats :P 18:32 i heard dopperganger monk is the best role/race for monk in slash'em 18:33 <@luxidream> isn't doppelganger just broken though 18:33 [hdf-us] [nh362] oh6 (Hea Gno Fem Neu) polymorphed her first object, on T:67179 18:33 i wouldn't know v_v... 18:35 -!- greqrg has joined #hardfought 18:36 [hdf-us] [nh362] JohnKeel (Tou Hum Fem Neu), 140 points, T:415, killed by a contaminated potion 18:36 [hdf-us] [nh362] RedArrow (Tou Hum Mal Neu), 1067 points, T:1401, killed by a dwarf 18:36 <@John Keel> a comedy of errors 18:37 <@John Keel> accidentally kill my puppy by throwing on autopilot, drink a poison potion 18:38 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) killed the Wizard of Yendor, on T:91153 18:38 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) picked up the Book of the Dead, on T:91161 18:42 [hdf-us] [nh362] RedArrow (Tou Hum Fem Neu), 262 points, T:871, burned by a tower of flame 18:42 [hdf-us] [nh362] Grouchy (Wiz Hum Mal Cha), 474 points, T:1329, killed by a gnome, while fainted from lack of food 18:43 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) performed the invocation, on T:91470 18:43 <@carlarc> !asc carlarc 18:43 @carlarc: [hdf-us] carlarc has ascended 1 times in 54 games (1.85%): dnh:1 (6.67%) | [hdf-eu] carlarc has not ascended in 1 games. 18:44 <@carlarc> i used to be unsure if luxor was luxidream and was too afraid to ask lmao 18:45 <@luxidream> why would I make a separate account just to die more 18:45 <@luxidream> I already die a lot 18:45 <@carlarc> thats why i didnt want to ask, it was a dumb question 18:49 [hdf-us] [nh362] Grouchy (Wiz Hum Mal Neu), 584 points, T:1066, killed by a giant bat 18:52 [hdf-us] [nh362] JohnKeel (Tou Hum Fem Neu), 284 points, T:1399, killed by a large mimic 18:52 <@John Keel> "could have sworn I didn't close that door running from the mimic" 18:52 <@John Keel> they're intelligent 18:53 no they're not, they're M1_ANIMAL 18:53 <@John Keel> they're clever, then 18:54 <@luxidream> they squeeze under doors 18:54 <@luxidream> amorphous 18:54 <@luxidream> or you mean it turned into a door and you got fooled 18:54 <@carlarc> what a fool 18:54 <@carlarc> you should try some variants keel 18:55 <@John Keel> it turned into a door yeah 18:55 <@John Keel> what variant 18:56 <@luxidream> depends 18:56 [hdf-us] [nh362] RedArrow (Tou Hum Mal Neu), 634 points, T:1445, killed by an elven dagger 18:56 <@luxidream> what's your cup of tea?

19:20 <@carlarc> just make it so you can un-name sting then 19:20 yeah, perhaps I should take a page out of dnh's book and put an XL restriction on naming sting 19:20 <@carlarc> and if its already named it doesnt do anything 19:20 pavelB, you can get to the castle wand but you don't ascend? You just need to play more 19:21 <@luxidream> specifically a giant spider? 19:21 not a *high* XL restriction 19:21 but not T:1 either 19:21 <@luxidream> XL30 19:21 <@carlarc> if it has a XL restriction it should have some more benefits too then 19:21 <@luxidream> no, it's already broken 19:22 <@luxidream> it's an x2 damage artifact you don't even have to sacrifice for 19:22 <@carlarc> holy shit 19:22 <@luxidream> but you have to sacrifice for grayswandir 19:22 <@luxidream> sting > grayswandir 19:22 yeah but the + to hit and double damage only apply versus orcs. 19:22 which makes it nice for orctown I guess 19:23 <@carlarc> aos you made diana the neutral god for rangers 19:23 it's good in xnh because it doesn't ruin your chances of sacing for and wishing for an actually good artifact 19:23 <@carlarc> does this mean chaotics have The Longbow of Mars 19:23 no 19:23 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) killed Death, on T:93963 19:23 Mars just stole it from Diana 19:23 <@luxidream> YANI: Forcrist.

19:27 <@luxidream> oh yeah. splice steals so many monsters from slashem 19:27 or did they invent them independently? 19:27 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) killed Death, on T:94015 19:27 now it does steal a lot from slashem, yes 19:27 <@luxidream> meh, imaginary widget is still way more powerful 19:29 <@carlarc> oh aos 19:29 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) killed Pestilence, on T:94037 19:29 <@carlarc> what's "light armor" 19:29 same as leather armor, but object materials patch means the name can't have "leather" in it 19:29 otherwise you could have a "cloth leather armor" 19:29 <@carlarc> ah 19:30 <@carlarc> it should probably have the material in it then 19:30 note the encyclopedia feature 19:30 <@carlarc> since it looks a bit generic 19:30 if you use the / command you can look up any object's stats 19:30 or if you're looking at it in your inventory and hit its inventory letter 19:31 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) killed Pestilence, on T:94060 19:31 -!- noty has quit [Quit: WeeChat 2.2] 19:31 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) killed Famine, on T:94070 19:31 <@luxidream> do I get damage modifiers from materials as well 19:32 some of them 19:32 that is on a pretty case by case basis 19:32 glass is +3 to sharp objects but no effect to blunt ones, e.g. 19:32 <@carlarc> and it can break unless fixed 19:32 for instance, a platinum sword doesn't offer any advantage, but a platinum mace would 19:32 <@carlarc> are mithril maces weaker 19:32 <@carlarc> dwarf fortress style 19:33 (other than your stupendous wealth to be carting around a PLATINUM SWORD) 19:33 <@luxidream> let me rephrase that 19:33 <@luxidream> can I see damage bonus/malus on the inventory menu 19:33 <@luxidream> from materials 19:33 no 19:33 <@carlarc> they're not that hard to remember 19:33 because that's the encyclopedia entry and doesn't pertain to a specific instance of the object 19:33 <@luxidream> oh, gotcha 19:34 <@carlarc> they dont matter much anyways since every artifact has preset materials and those are usually the only weapons youre going to use later on 19:34 <@carlarc> except for hating 19:34 [hdf-us] [xnh] Luxidream (Arc Dwa Fem Law), 543 points, T:441, killed by an iguana 19:34 <@carlarc> oh YANI: frostbrand is made of iron, firebrand is made of silver 19:34 <@luxidream> well I know most of them 19:35 <@luxidream> silver fire brand 19:35 <@luxidream> hahahaha 19:35 <@carlarc> would that be too good 19:35 hahahaha NO 19:35 <@luxidream> that's broken 19:35 <@carlarc> what exactly makes it broken 19:35 you can dual-weild frost and firebrand tho 19:35 <@luxidream> unaligned grayswandir 19:36 <@carlarc> yeah thats fiar 19:36 <@carlarc> fair 19:36 unaligned grayswandir that can be twoweaponed with another double damage arti 19:36 <@luxidream> you're only going to twoweapon it if you wish for the other sword, realistically 19:36 <@luxidream> which I did 19:37 <@luxidream> it's pretty boss, but kind of overkill 19:37 why *wouldn't* you wish for the other sword if you're planning on using one of them seriously 19:37 <@carlarc> i got the idea from frostbrand doing 'cold iron' damage to iron haters 19:37 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu), 3881058 points, T:94116, ascended https://www.hardfought.org/userdata/U/UltimateThule/nh343/dumplog/1546459039.nh343.txt 19:37 <@carlarc> theyre shortswords rights?

no. would I wish for a +2 tin opener? maybe, if aosdict let me wish for object materials 19:42 if I let you wish for object materials everyone would wish for a silver katana and nothing else 19:43 <@carlarc> are giants iron haters in x 19:43 <@luxidream> I've said before, that's a stupid wish, and you should let people blow their wishes on whatever they want 19:43 @carlarc no 19:44 <@luxidream> for most players this far it's a minor improvement on a regular long sword 19:44 @luxidream it makes for the existence of a small number of optimal configurations, and means that found objects will only be useful early on 19:46 <@luxidream> there are optimal configurations in vanilla as well 19:46 the point is to fix that 19:47 <@luxidream> but it's by no means necessary to wish for helms of telepathy or gauntlets of power 19:47 <@luxidream> I would say an object materials wish is even less impactful than wishing for gauntlets of power 19:47 sorry, it's not that there *are* optimal configurations (of course there are), but that letting you wish for object materials allows you to get them without any work 19:48 <@luxidream> wishes don't come cheap 19:48 <@carlarc> what's the work? grinding? 19:48 they come cheap if you can get to castle 19:49 <@luxidream> the player is sacrificing other good items like magic markers for something like a fancier sword 19:49 <@luxidream> this is only something you would do if you 1. have no idea what you are doing 2. are already loaded and trying to have fun 19:49 <@luxidream> PavelB: have you not seen the xnh wishing changes 19:49 you still get free wishes at the castle 19:50 <@carlarc> no, you get one 19:50 <@carlarc> or two i dont remember 19:50 2 19:50 yes 19:50 <@luxidream> yeah you get 2 of them, which go towards you surviving in gehennom 19:50 <@luxidream> where's the room for a silver katana and bone small shield 19:50 two free wishes is free wishes 19:50 well, they're not "free" in the sense that half the progression of the game goes into getting them 19:51 <@luxidream> if you're going to do gehennom without magic resistance, ok 19:52 just murder a gray dragon 19:52 @luxidream that may be your perspective based on speedrunning, but in an average game you have MR waaaaay before castle 19:52 from shops, bones, lucky finds, quest artifacts, 19:52 <@luxidream> I've played lots of regular games without genocide, wishes, self polymorph 19:53 <@luxidream> or any other way of getting magic resistance 19:53 <@luxidream> MR cloaks are almost impossible to find in shops or on the ground 19:53 <@luxidream> we shouldn't be balancing around bones 19:54 <@luxidream> since they are inherently unbalanced 19:54 [hdf-us] [nh362] JohnKeel (Tou Hum Fem Neu), 197 points, T:1040, killed by a small mimic 19:54 [hdf-us] [nh362] oh6 (Hea Gno Fem Neu) bribed Asmodeus with 1834 zorkmids for safe passage, on T:68918 19:55 <@John Keel> respect the mimics 19:55 <@carlarc> man what are you doing 19:56 <@carlarc> mimics get 1 turn every 3 of yours 19:56 <@luxidream> and only 4 of the 12 non-wizards can actually gain MR from completing quest 19:56 <@carlarc> er 4 19:56 <@luxidream> carlarc: you can't kite in 3.6 19:56 <@carlarc> oh right 19:56 <@John Keel> I didn't realize the damage range was so big 19:56 <@carlarc> that's dumb 19:56 <@John Keel> wait, what was the kiting change?
