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

    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

    Townspeople.

    Esp. Maggot.

    "Do you mind? I'm trying to rest here until the Recall yanks in!"

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

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

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

            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.

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

              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.

              Maybe reduce your base delay factor?

                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.

                      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.
