Development takes time, and more importantly, interest and energy. Nick and the other devs all donate theirs to the game, the least we can do is be gracious about it.

Successfully ran a Dunadan Druid through to killing Morgoth. http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=21601
I think the Druid class needs some more tweaks. No starting weapon or launcher is a problem. Shape-changing was essentially useless compared to @'s regular combat by the time the spells were viable. The lack of utility spells, forcing device reliance, is okay, but probably has gone too far. An earlier attempt also had a severe HP shortage, barely crossing 400 hps at CL 43 with maxed Con, but this run-through didn't have as much of a problem.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

I've just done some fixes to master that I want to let sit for a bit, so I might actually get back to this branch actually soon.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

I know you're on hiatus for working the feature branch but for me it's unplayable. Something is wrong with player AC/monster melee and it breaks the game

I KNOW I've mentioned this earlier but when you get back working on the branch, this should be the first thing to investigate.Comment

I vaguely remember this bug may have already been reported for the feature branch: when @ throws something (e.g., throwing an arrow), monster gets three moves to @'s one, or @ is frozen in place for some time, or some such thing, is happening.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive.

Finally, new builds on this branch for Windows and macOS now up on the build page - source zipfile is here.
This build incorporates the bugfixes and tweaks to 4.1.2 (including the trap reduction), and also (I hope) fixes the slowdown reported by several people. Please let me know if that is actually fixed.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
