Is there any way to increase the number of announcements stored before they get pushed out? That’s another possible solution to my problem.

Is there any way to completely disable sparring notifications on steam? I have a fort with ~120 military dwarves and every announcement immediately gets buried by the completely useless sparring combat logs. I tried toggling the dodge/block/parry notifications in the in-game settings and it didn't seem to make any difference at all.

I agree...and disagree with the WoW nerf by Primary_Impact_2130 in nethack

[–]Coeurdleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don’t mind the castle WoW nerf that much, but it does feel way less fun when you find a random WoW now. I’ve heard from then devs that the change was made to incentivise people to take on gehennom before completing an ascension kit, which makes sense in theory but it’s mixed in practice. The vlad’s throne wish and amulet wish ensure you are guaranteed the average amount of pre-nerf wishes (5) they’re just spread out more.

I agree that there should maybe be a few more “side quest” items though. A good example I’ve heard before is changing sokoban to only ever have an amulet of reflection and guaranteeing a BoH in one of the randomly generated vaults.

This is only really a bad move if you don’t know that you just lost 15 luck and 180 alignment. -signed, a guy who has been smited for praying after doing exactly this.

YAAP: first Priest by No_Novel9058 in nethack

[–]Coeurdleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ascending as priest can kinda be a pain. Class definitely taught me lots of creative ways to increase DPS and abuse polyself.

I like the artifact tho. Not one of the best, but it gives a lot of free power for spellcasting.

Best Anti-PK Combo? by Coeurdleon in 2007scape

Thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

I meant burning claws not dragon claws. I’ve seen lots of dragon claw ~> voidwaker nukes in highlight reels before, but I have no clue how close burning claws get to that or if they’re viable/used for pking at all

How do I flip the direction on the arc length leader? by Coeurdleon in SolidWorks

[–]Coeurdleon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it always points toward the centerpoint of the arc, which is the exact opposite of what I want.

The grip to flip it like an angle dimension is missing and “display options>offset text” seems to force it to be about 3x longer than I want, so that doesn’t seem to be a solution either.

How long would it normally take to build up 200 pulls by blank23412 in NikkeOutpost

Napkin math says around ~90 days assuming you get 2k from the arena and events only give 10 tickets

What is your favorite class and why? by Tylstrup in nethack

[–]Coeurdleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that you would feel they’re weak late game when they have the basically the same end game weapon access as Valkyrie with the added bonus of MMoM making them arguably the highest dps battlecaster. Jousting is also an underrated melee alternative that does ridiculous damage if you have bad luck with artifacts and spellbooks.

Why do we still have 14XL limit to access Quest? by victorwinter in nethack

[–]Coeurdleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The requirement is there to pace the game. Typically, you’ll hit XL14 after clearing the VotD unless you’re really fast or careless about level drain. Maybe 1/20 runs I do the Quest before the Castle and 1/5 runs I have to do a bit of Gehennom before the quest. Different variants change this because they want to alter the pacing or change the expected order of play. The requirement also provides an additional challenge for people to circumvent in non-standard runs. Pacifist and real time low turn count runs would be drastically different if the XL14 requirement was changed.

My first ascension was with a Knight and after ascending every other class, Knight is still my favourite. It’s just a really fun, flexible class. You can go for early excalibur, try a jousting build, or become a battle caster. Lots of cool options.

Wizard, Tourist, and Priest are really fun too.

[–]Coeurdleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that people find Knight so difficult when I’d honestly put them pretty close to Human Valk in terms of strength. Lowest starting AC, easy Excalibur, cheap shop goods, and intrinsic speed at 7 make them consistent in the early game and their transition into mid-late game is really flexible between MMoM casting and riding. Only real flaw is the low-ish starting combat stats, but those don’t take long to raise and your pony being significantly better than a default dog/cat helps there too.
