I've now died twice with it in my hands. At least this time I got off level 26!<br /><br />Clairvoyance for turret-avoidance is an interesting tactic. I find my best games are ones where I find a staff of tunneling. Or as I call them.. staff of turret-destruction. ;)<br /><br />But yeah, Darren, you need to play brogue.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037630225847201081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-35792542288923752782012-08-04T09:19:37.250+10:002012-08-04T09:19:37.250+10:00Congrats, Andrew :)Congrats, Andrew :)Penderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392318757573319593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-68342408934749730852012-08-03T21:24:18.204+10:002012-08-03T21:24:18.204+10:00Todd: Getting back out of the dungeon is surprisin...Todd: Getting back out of the dungeon is surprisingly crunchy in terms of difficulty.Andrew Doullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099404183952971291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-84321643525313778322012-08-03T21:23:48.803+10:002012-08-03T21:23:48.803+10:001.6.4 is definitely the best version so far: I sus...1.6.4 is definitely the best version so far: I suspect it does need a slight rebalance though. I didn't abuse the reward rooms (or really benefit from them) because I ended up getting multiples of the same ring types and only one detect magic potion. Clairvoyance was +2 for most of the game and I only spent 1 enchant scroll on it before getting the amulet. I didn't really need to see too many monsters at range, whereas being able to see e.g. acid turrets through walls made a big difference (I only got protect armour about level 20).<br /><br />Darren: You need to play brogue. It really is that good.

I really think 1.6.4 has hit a sweet spot in terms of balancing difficulty vs. showing you "cool stuff" in the game. <br /><br />Quite the masterpiece, in my opinion. <br /><br />I was surprised at your rings though.. I normally ditch clairvoyance the first chance I have. Even a ring of light is better, for me.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037630225847201081noreply@blogger.com
