What's the most annoying thing in Angband (without dying)?

[Voovus]

Nexus attacks that teleport you to another level. (Especially when you're about to pick up that ring of speed you just identified but haven't yet made space for in your inventory.)

[sffp]

Not finding Free Action before 1250

Confusion

oh yes - and lightning destroys your rod of teleport other.

Or the cold hound/impact hound/earth hound destroys that gain stat potion right as you were going to pick it up!

[DavidMedley]

Oooh, I got a good one: Players who make DEMANDS (not requests) of unpaid volunteer developers!

[DavidMedley]

How about being told that you failed to concentrate hard enough? I was concentrating! I was concentrating!!

For me it would have to be methodically clearing a vault and just getting ready to examine the "superb treasures" before falling through a trap door or getting teleported to another level by a hidden Q

Shirkers and other type monsters magic mushroom esp. in Angband

[misanthropope]

when youre at a shallow depth and the staircase hides from you. idk why, i dont even care about turn count, but yeah. "out of my way vermin, i have an idiotic death to catch!"

also i sure wish packs of hounds could breathe ball effects, that would just perfect the experience.

Wasn't there a version where scrambled stats after Nexus attacks didn't revert to normal?

Yes, there was. I think before 4.1
Actually I did like that. It forced me to solve problems differently when running around with a rouge having str and wis swapped and it was quite memorable for me.

[LordRotharoth]

All hounds in general are annoying to me :/

[Selkie]

Getting your mind blanked and having to re-identify all your equipment. I'm so glad all the features involved are no longer in the game.

Also, how long the breath animation takes, especially when fighting Hounds.

Maybe reduce your base delay factor?

I also agree about townspeople. Solved that problem by turning off Word of Recall.

Also, starting with a Word of Recall scroll when Recall is turned off. I could start with just gold, but theres no guarantee the store will stock a dagger, a precious, precious dagger, and Id rather be saddled with a useless scroll than a bad weappn.

I get unfairly annoyed when my home is full and my inventory is full at the same time

[bughunter]

Pressing 'h' repeatedly to fire arrows at a fleeing monster only to have him run past a sleeping mob...

[DavidMedley]

Townspeople were annoying me, too. Then I made the BG get SP when he kills them.
