Furthest I've gotten

[Oramin]

Hey, I did two stupid things yesterday with my Hobbit Rogue (I didn't die, though). I was in the middle of a fight with Feagwath when I hit 'q' and was told I had no potions. Yep, I swapped my Healing potions out when I was changing my gear upstairs and forgot to pick them up again. Needless to say I ended that fight.

Later, after I killed Omarax on L80, I ran across a Greater Balrog (avoided) and a Multi-Hued Dragon Pit on the same level (avoided), I figured I had run across everything that caused the level feeling. So, I went over to 1-hit this lone Stone Giant. After I hit him a couple of rounds, he was still alive. At this point I looked at him and it was Atlas. Right then, so after retreating and turning him into a pin-cushion, I decided to stop before making a lethal mistake.

Sorry about your character but you aren't alone in making mistakes.

[Raajaton]

Luckily, I noticed the red @ and 'low hitpint! LOW HITPOINT!". Another single step and I would have died. After years of playing I've finally learnted to just stop and stare at it for a bit before doing anything stupid. In this case I just teleported him away and the mage is alive and kicking at DL99.

I really should utilize the health warnings. It probably would have saved my life last night. BTW is the recolored @ at lower health levels a standard feature in 3.3.2? That's the version I've been playing for a while.

I was hoping to at least scrape one win from it before upgrading to 3.4.1, which I understand has been made a touch more difficult.

[Mondkalb]

Why don't you start a new character and give the Angband 3.5-dev spawn a try? It has a smoother start in my opinion, I had less trouble finding useful stuff in the beginning.

[Raajaton]

Sure I'm up for trying it. Where can I find the download? The most recent version up on rephial.org is 3.4.1 as far as I can tell.

[Mondkalb]

fizzix has posted the links with his announcement:

You need to install 3.4.1 and replace the .exe and the /lib/edit files if you want to use the precompiled exe.

[Raajaton]

Cool thanks. I'll give it a shot tonight.

[Derakon]

I generally leave my low-health warning at 50%; that usually leaves me enough of a buffer to let me know when I should start paying more attention.

(Of course, even 50% isn't enough to protect you from a surprise more-than-your-max-HP breath attack, so you can't ever afford to be truly careless in Angband...)

[clouded]

Instead of "why don't you have health warnings?" my thought is "why don't you use shift-dir instead of holding down keys?"

Condolences.

Typically I do but there were monsters nearby so I couldn't. Not sure what posessed me to try to run in the first place. Just lack of focus I suppose.

[Philip]

There are certain disturbance settings you can change, although I find myself in similar situations in O. Sometimes, monsters are scary when they move no matter where they are.

[academic.sam]

BTW is the recolored @ at lower health levels a standard feature in 3.3.2?

I believe it has been there for a while (at least since 3.0.x)

[Raajaton]

Well, here I am again. This time on a Kobold Rogue. Down around dlvl 85, gear is getting pretty decent. Forced to use an ESP amulet as I have never found any other source yet surprisingly. Running pretty low on some consumables as I've spent a lot on a few unique fights.

My plan is to dive down to lvl 98 and farm around for a while. There's still a lot of things I don't want to fight, but I've been trying to keep enough sources of teleport other on me to whisk them away as I try to steal whatever loot their guarding.

Is it a good idea for me to got that deep at this point, or should I hang back a bit?

You can't get any more HPs apart from level ups.
I would dive. Just be careful, consideríng your resistance holes.
Btw, it doesn't get that much more dangerous, barring uniqes.

[Raajaton]

Yeah, I keep a swap chest piece (Himring) on me that covers nether and chaos, I have Anduril on hand to swap in for my weapon for disenchant, and I keep Firestar on hand when I need fire immunity. I find myself dancing through my gear a lot depending on what I'm fighting.

[Mondkalb]

Keep an eye on shard breathers, that can be surpisingly devastating.
