Sorry, I didn't mean we should change anything about the standarts. That road is fine. At least for your n first games. But for randarts I don't see any value of giving crap artifacts to experienced players (mainly the ones using randarts)

Crap artifacts are generally amusing at least.

What do y'all think about making artifacts more rare, possibly as an option? I know there's artifactless, but that's a little absolutist. It might be nice to have a game mode where you found, say, maybe half to a third as many artifacts for a given amount of playing, and had to rely more on ego-items or artifacts that don't give you quite what you want.

So the nightly build from two weeks ago - 81f7f3bff - was meant to have a bit of a power reduction for randarts. Any sense of how that's playing out yet?

[Thraalbee]

I'm playing two games on that right now. Priest L39/2650' and Rogue slightly behind. Too early to tell really, but feels ok so far

Juts a quick status update. I am currently

• Trying to play a decently long game to get a feel for the current state
• Reacting to the many reports on this thread
• Looking at artifacts to see if anything needs doing

so if progress seems slow, that's not surprising.

I've also been looking at this thread - largely for the artifact stuff - but am having a hard time getting any coherent things that need changing out of it. Any opinions welcome.

I like this. There's always a disappointment to me in "finally" finding that x of Westerness or Gondolin etc and... it's inevitably nowhere near whatever artifact I'm already hauling around. I've often wished to see some of the higher ego items before I start finding the mid to high level artifacts.

spell:Hit and Run:23:20:40:20
desc:Prepres you to teleport a short distance after stealing from a monster.

No idea what you mean here... Prepares?

[wobbly]

Is decoy actually meant to vanish as soon as you cast another spell?

So far it feels okay, though my game isn't really long enough yet to say with much confidence. I have definitely found a number of junk ones though including one that I think had sustain wisdom and everything else was a curse. :-)

Yes - if you've cast this and you steal from a monster, you will then teleport (just like thieves do to the player).

Ahh, I'd forgotten that one - it's a bug, and I'll fix it NEXT.

Um... I think he'd referring to the odd spelling error. "prepres"

Yeah, I got that, the rest was advertising

On the necromancer spell "Frighten," the description says uniques and monsters that resist fear are not affected -- however, uniques are affected (worked on both one of the Umbar guys and Tom the stone troll). Not sure whether it's the description or the behavior that's wrong, but they don't match.

uniques and monsters -- that resist fear -- are not affected
not
uniques -- and monsters that resist fear -- are not affected

so just stuff that resist fear cannot be frightened

Got it. Parsing error on my part. :-) Thanks!
