    I have read about this. I will try to get some statistics today.

    Initially I was beta testing different classes. In some of the games I notices I did not see star and arkenstone at all. So I tried the following in debug mode with both randarts and standarts. I use roguelike controls on linux console.

    Start a new game.
    Know about objects. (99l)
    Jump to some random level. (j10 - j999). Max you go down is level 127.
    Create 100's of very good objects. (V99 - create 40 or so objects)
    Wizard light the level. (w)
    See the objects on the floor in whole level without picking anything. (])
    Repeat by jumping to another level.

    For testing purpose I do sometimes pick daggers, and sometimes phial but nothing else.

    I will try to collect some statistics today for this to see after how many iterations I do not see any star or arkenstone. I think it is not many if I jump to a deep level.

    Also it seems level feelings relate only to objects on the floor of the dungeon. If an artifact is generated in the inventory of a monster it does not contribute to the level feeling and yet the object may be lost if you leave the level without killing that monster.

        Note that some artifacts (including the Phial have a max depth of 100.) I'm not sure the game actually respects that setting or not, but it could be an explanation for the "missing" Phial on very deep levels.

            Nick, have you decided that Bug #1881 is not a bug or that it just can't be fixed?

            #1881 Object sub-window delayed 1 turn. E.g., pick up a potion or scroll and it still appears in the sub-window until the next move by either player or monster. Unlike the monster sub-window, which works correctly, kill a monster and it immediately is removed from the sub-window.

But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

                Attack wands and rods now have the magic device boost percentage explicitly stated in their description. Thank you, Nick.

                But, what about activatable items such as weapons, armor, gloves, and dragon scale mail that have an attack activation? Are these not "magical devices" within the definition of receiving a boost, or is it just that the description is not reporting their boost as was the case for wands and rods before?

                    I seem to have thought it was fixed. I've re-opened it now, but I'm not going to delay release for it.

                        The same effects still get a boost, but the description issue is more complicated. Artifact activations get a special description which doesn't include boost info; non-artifact dragon scale mail does get the boost description.

                            No problem here. Possibly it only affects OSX, similar to the AC/Speed display problem (though the object display fixes itself on the next move, whereas the AC/Speed, and sometimes Stats, display requires a redraw).

                                Heh - latest news is that happens in Linux too, and running in a debugger fixes it. We're still working on it.

                                    Most of the time I was jumping to level 98 (No Sauron, Morgoth for instadeath). And I am looking only at artifacts that can be differentiated by the listing of items (]) which includes star, arkenstone, special rings and special amulets. After a time none is generated any more.

                                        The recent nightlies seem to be suffering from intermittent slowdown again/still: repeat actions like searching and resting are sometimes instant, other times take a perceptible length of time to complete. (I don't know if it's maybe related to efforts to reduce the flicker with the tiles or something like that?)

                                            OK, fair enough. It's just that your "transcript" said 1-127, so I was forced to "qualify" .
