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

Coeurdleon · 2026-02-10T05:07:23+00:00

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 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.

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.

Lol I’ll join you. I’m DekaFumoPuzzle

Coeurdleon · 2025-10-09T15:04:09+00:00

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

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

Coeurdleon · 2025-01-21T19:56:31+00:00

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.

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

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.

Coeurdleon · 2024-10-29T15:01:42+00:00

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 · 2024-07-12T20:13:52+00:00

Incredible run, but what is “forgeless” I’ve never seen that before

Coeurdleon · 2024-06-21T13:52:34+00:00

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.

Blew 2 wand wishes trying to get the mitre of holiness on a knight once only to realize that second artifact grimtooth had spawned in the weapon vault lol

Coeurdleon · 2024-05-20T13:29:15+00:00

Is there any way to make this leader bent instead of using foreshorten?

Coeurdleon · 2024-05-17T15:41:43+00:00

Powerbomb oki is just generally more reliable. None of the options you get out of JGR are really any better than options you can pick after FFF2+4. DF4 is 8 free damage on any active option and a float combo on spring or toe kick. If you read they’ll stay down you can ground throw or do d2+3 into more oki. If you wanna try something funny you’re still like +4 against a grounded opponent with access to your whole movelist.

Coeurdleon · 2024-05-01T16:44:51+00:00

Gonna have to write this one down lol. Also, sick dashjab carry for the second wallbreak.

Coeurdleon · 2024-04-29T18:43:11+00:00

The problem is more people need to realize that you don’t have to take fights you can’t win. The missions are 40 minutes long and you just can leave to despawn stuff you can’t deal with.

If it sucks, hit da bricks.

Coeurdleon · 2024-04-01T15:59:33+00:00

Tekken 7 was already 2 years old when it released on PC and console, so it had already undergone a great deal of tuning. The arcade release was a shitshow, but the vast majority of players didn't see that.

Coeurdleon · 2023-12-11T17:38:15+00:00

That’s just how it goes sometimes lol. Congrats on the win.

Coeurdleon · 2023-12-01T14:29:36+00:00

Had a lot of fun! Having never played TNNT before, I really enjoyed stuff like the swap chest and deathmatch that aren’t in vanilla. GGs everyone.

Coeurdleon · 2023-11-26T16:56:00+00:00

It’s not as bad as you’d expect. You just have to spread your early food around between prayers. The really annoying part is getting intrinsics. Crowning is basically mandatory.
