DL 1 isn't too scary, which is fine with me (I still died a couple of times). But as soon as you start descending you have to start thinking about what you are doing, on DL 2 or 3 groups of goblins appeared, Shelob chased me at DL7 etc. I should say that I've been testing with stealthy characters without much offensive power, I suppose a standard warrior would have it a bit easier the first levels which is also fine with me. If it would be bad for warriors already on dlvl 1 the weaker guys would not have any way to level up. -
How about the difficulty of DL 1?
I think in most *bands the early levels are too easy. You can just stop thinking until you descend some levels.Leave a comment:

Noted on the wands and scroll.
hang in there on the difficulty level. it is supposed to be a bit gritty and nasty. but not too over the top. Let me know how it goes.

I've played a few characters in the first alphaversion, which is very playable I must say. A few things I've noticed:
Wands of confusion sometime, on the first attempt at confusing a (sleeping?) monster, give a positive message (foo looks confused) but the foo is not confused. Later attempts usually work and make the monster confused for several turns.
Scrolls of identify offer to identify some of my inventory that I don't think are needed, like spell books and my (average) lantern.
The game feels quite intense and hard, I'm clvl16 and scared to drop below dlvl10 and even at 8 or 9 I'm running away most of the time. Just as intended I suppose.Leave a comment:

I'll pass the UI gripes along to the NPP guys.
Are Crebain bad enough to need fixing, or just legitimately annoying?

I was going to report you right now the auto-curse ring thing, but you
were faster than me
With this bugfixes, the next release should be good enough for an announce on roguebasin, isn't it?
There are a few issues with the colors in the gcu version, but these are heritages from npp (I already told the maintainer about them in this other thread http://angband.oook.cz/forum/showthr...7134#post67134), so they aren't, strictly speaking, problems related to this variant...Leave a comment:

I'm thinking to replace the frozen spirit with a visible pack cold breather... White wolf perhaps. you will still need si before dreads turn upLeave a comment:

Fantastic thanks djabanete, keep it up. I realised a bug overnight which is that some rings will be cursed with no means of uncursing . ill fix this in the next release, hopefully over the weekend, but in the meantime dont wield an unidentified ring. Amulets should be ok.Leave a comment:

Have dump, tried to post, Oook didn't like it, "unknown variant."
Observations:
UI gripes
(1) All walls should be tile 127 (solid block) instead of 37 (#). Very annoying to have to
change manually.
(2) Dislike it that when you move over an item, the game forces you to manually ignore it
if you don't want to pick it up. Prefer ignoring floor items by default ("you see
a potion") and picking up using "g".
(3) Not really a gripe: bought 99 rations by mistake, and selling was disabled. Whoops
(4) MAJOR: Roguelike commands: while in targetting interface, "l" key does not work.
hjkbnyu all do work though. "l" is also broken when you're looking around using
"x" command.
(5) Not sure if related to (4): When you're in roguelike commands, when you step on an item,
you get a dialog asking if you want to pick it up, and pressing "l" picks it up.
Other directional keys don't behave this way.
Balance
(*) Goblin/Orc/Uruk: Balanced.
(*) Rattlesnake: Balanced.
(*) Kobold: Too weak. Double their HP.
(*) Jackal: Too weak. Increase their HP by 50%.
(*) Kobold Mage and Kobold Archer: Balanced.
(*) Poltergeist: Too strong.
(*) White Dragons: Balanced. However, Dragons shouldn't be this weak and shallow IMHO.
(*) Dark Elf: Balanced.
(*) Thief: Too weak. Give him small arrows.
(*) Giant Spider: Balanced.
(*) Priest: Balanced.
(*) Frozen Spirit: Too strong.
