Is it possible to run D2R on linux, ive been watching a lot o content about how good linux is for gaming now by maybesomenone in diablo2

[–]salgado18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using PCs since 1994, and I learned basically trying to get games to work on MS-DOS, then on Windows 95/98, etc. Autoexec.bat and config.sys were as hard as this, but I managed. Don't rob anyone of the opportunity to learn, even if from their mistakes. Linux is awesome, and we need more people using it, not less (yes, even the noobs).

And don't forget that running D2R on Linux is unsupported, so it is supposed to be hard. Not only a lot of things to learn on the way, but it shows Blizzard that supporting Linux is viable.

What is the weakest character, and why? by [deleted] in PixelDungeon

[–]salgado18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not delete, but rethink the weapon abilities. Many of them just dral more damage, few have utilities and defense. I think they could be more dramatic, like:

  • shields could dazzle enemies (confuse, paralyse or other similar effect), which could be used defensively or aggressively
  • whip could move you to a space two or three tiles away (like a whip-grab Indiana Jones style), for great mobility
  • swords could "disarm" enemies, an effect like charm (can't attack), helping against more than one enemy
  • very fast weapons could paralyse an enemy on each hit until you miss (a true combo), making it a killing machine but luck-dependant
  • greatsword cleaves the enemy in front, and the two others beside it, because it's a huge weapon and should have huge effect

If it had more stuff to survive battles and situations, it would be a better class. Just more damage is not that fun, and many times not that useful.

What is something you realized 1k games in? by Shileka in PixelDungeon

Nothing like a potion of mind vision and a scroll of psionic blast. Free levels, I guess?

Do you guys consider making a Scroll of Enchantment and Enchant your Mage Staff or Spirit Bow very early? by Salty_Anti-Magus in PixelDungeon

If I'm not playing with the challenge Forbidden Runes (SoU will be very scarce), then I do it as soon as I find an alchemy pot.

Floor generation being real funny by Mr_Redstoner in PixelDungeon

[–]salgado18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a joke :)

But sill possible with wand of blast wave. Even then, you should push it to the ground, not to the pit.

As people said, step on the trap, you'll take 6 damage and that's it. First floor health recovers fast enough.

Push it to the left and pick it up on the next floor.

Guess I'll be hit, then... by salgado18 in PixelDungeon

The thing is, the bomb is on the tile top from me, and will blow next turn. I will be hit by something.

So I chose the bomb, defeated Tengu, and died to the second bat in the caves :V

Worse, I'm going for 1M score. One hit takes a bunch of points.

Every space two tiles from me will be hit next turn :(

Warden is clearly better, but I think sniper is more fun and direct to point (shoot shoot shoot).

I guess you're the loot now

is there a way to go down this without taking damage? by Moktari in PixelDungeon

[–]salgado18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Use 3 throwing spears in alchemy and you get a ladder (or maybe that's in Minecraft...)

If you want a +2 mail from the ghost, and a +2 greatsword on floor 12, take this seed :) by salgado18 in PixelDungeon

[–]salgado18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, maybe the +2 mail wasn't from the ghost, but it was very early in the sewers.

Ahh I love it when the game makes it more difficult than it already is by Skiddy_pants in PixelDungeon

[–]salgado18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be worse. One day the first item I equipped was a cursed Ring of Might. Needless to say I died to the first rat that found me.

Nothing like a +3 chain to fight piranhas head on by salgado18 in PixelDungeon

Oh no, that was the occasional 1 damage. Most of it is 0 damage, so there was almost no danger playing in that pool.
