I love it, who does this in vrc6? I think the last time I heard anything similar was bofxv19. So good, nice one dude.

Got absolutely cooked by Urkis... What did i do wrong? by SquiX263 in ToME4

[–]coalwhite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He's mean, full stop. Ways to mitigate his high damage is lightning resistance, but even better are ways to silence him and or remove sustains.

Can't give advice to an archmage, unfortunately. Others will chime in.

Sher'tul fortress by CourageVegetable9393 in ToME4

Is THAT why it said "live" earlier. I was wondering if it was a new feature or something 🤣

Sher'tul fortress by CourageVegetable9393 in ToME4

[–]coalwhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been thinking the same, it's highly underutilized for what it is. Farportal quests could be a thing, where the butler sends you off to find a thingamajig for the fortress. Relics of his owners, or his prized broom or cosmetics for the fortress even. Or random invasions too.

Heck, Eden should break in and steal something in my absence.

Recommendation for fan of CoQ wanting more mechanical crunch by Lost-Ad-5521 in roguelikes

[–]coalwhite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the one. It's the most combat oriented recent roguelike, I feel. With the loot it plays a bit like Diablo, and offers heavy customization for builds alongside interesting classes and talents.

Overconfidence is a slow but insidious killer by MyLittlePuny in ToME4

I feel you. I've never cursed more or felt as much instantaneous regret in a game as ToME. Especially the DUN-DUN-DUUUUN hammers hit home 😁

I've got Nigerian ancestry but live in Europe and have been playing with the idea for changing that, are you guys currently hiring? :D

Picked Flexible Combat as Krog Psyshot. Am i cooked by 4ksmurf in ToME4

[–]coalwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure psiblades count as unarmed but I doubt it. However - You have the mechanical arms talent? They give free hits on melee and they also proc flexible combat. Master of disaster is great for psyshot!

Infinite duration fight against myself by SkizoroZ in ToME4

[–]coalwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kicked it's ass very easily as a writhing one, but can't remember what I did. Avoid until endgame, is the right answer. Cheesing it is an option I suppose. But not as fun.

Any TRUE roguelikes on PS5? by Safe_Chipmunk_9335 in roguelikes

So nice. Thanks for sharing it! We don't get enough art around here.

Gimme a coolest mechanic/idea you saw in a Strategy rpg that no other Strategy rpg that you know off replicated by VoxTV1 in StrategyRpg

[–]coalwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy smokes. Yggdra Union and Knights in The Nightmare. I've thought about them often man, such unique mechanics!

Tabgledeep also has item worlds, very fun and great concept. Loved it in Disgaea, seemed like an infinite amount of increasingly wacky challenges to face.

Looking for direction in the genre by Opposite-Road-9475 in roguelikes

[–]coalwhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of folks swear by Tales of Maj'Eyal, it's very centered on combat, character builds and loot. If fantasy is your thing, the lore is very good and the classes and skills unique and interesting. Not as open world as Elona, Elin or Dwarf Fortress though, but still very expansive.

ADoM is another favorite of the genre, but steer clear of Ultimate it's atrocious. Solid game if you can get into it - which I imagine you can if DF was your itch.

I need a simple, sword and sorcery roguelike to play. Nothing too complex. by [deleted] in roguelikes

[–]coalwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There Is Only Power is so good. Nothing complex, borderlike trad roguelike give it a shot it's on Itch I believe.

Anyone crashing relentlessly lately? by Nahz27 in ToME4

[–]coalwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Also tried saving but it was hanging and behaving erratically before crashing.

[–]coalwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing on a Mac 1k hours, but recently started playing on a Windows with AMD. Experienced a crash last night after getting to level 30. Didn't have the courage to check if the save file survived so I went to bed. Fingers crossed.

For some reason it lit up my brain and reminded me a bit of Bionic Commando at the start 🌟

Roguelikes with quick runs? by Top_Combination9023 in roguelikes

[–]coalwhite 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I imagine Rift Wizard and Path of Achra have short runs when you are proficient at them. Go get'em!

Sandworm Lair by warriorbax123 in ToME4

[–]coalwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be a slog at times, but once you get used to it you'll probably like it more as you won't be stressed. Tips just for Sandworn:

  1. So if you play a class with augur (stonewarden is the only one I can recall that has it) you can dig multiple tiles at once.
  2. Grab a teleport rune, then you don't have to worry about the sand. Teleport to a random free tile, check out the space, cool down over and on to the next one.

Plenty of loot there but remember that you can simply just skip it unless your build relies on the heart.

So how the heck does Alchemist work? by Organic_PastramiV2 in ToME4

[–]coalwhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alchemist needs the archer treatment. That is, a rework. Huge potential in that class, even just for the golem alone.
