OK, reroll, and much better at that. Realized I really regreted not milking the Bat more, and that Zeus isn't all that useful after all. Picked Hephaestus, hoping for a good set of high damage dice randarts with a brand. Warrior-Mage for Force-Brand!

If only every start was this nice. Westernesse weapon as DL 12 reward, Elvenkind shield as DL 14 reward.

Chris - The bat is awesome! If it wasn't for the Bat, I'm usually stuck after Barrow Downs/Mimic, if I don't get anything good from those two. The Bat can easily be farmed for a good 20 stat potions, as well as more !oHealing and !oResistance than you can possibly need for Cloning Pits and Old Castle, as long as you bring enough food.

OK, something is VERY wrong with the random artifacts generator. This is what I've gotten continuously:

h) The Phial 'Lightbringer' (+4) {In;FiCoPo;HlAg} (DE Lords)
a) The Spear 'Red Comet' (2d7) (+14,+4) (+4 to speed) {SpSlSr;Th|P/T dlvl 20 hagen}
l) The Long Sword 'Ancestral Knowledge' (2d5) (+17,+1) (+4 to speed) {SpInDx;Nt;Rg/U dlvl 22 jaian}
b) The Nunchaku of Balaan (2d3) (+17,+6) (+4 to speed) {SpSrIf|Ca/XU dlvl 26 tom}
j) The Set of Gauntlets of Loki [2,+12] (+4) {In;Nx;Fa}

Notice something? P-vals are almost always +4, and it's picking up +Speed way too often. Much as I like this character, for Honor's sake I think I have to pause him until we tweak the randart code.

Can't say the same for my characters artifact-wise...maybe something changed between 0.0.124 (which I'm playing) and 0.0.126.

Are you using "Random Artifacts: ENABLED"? I think it's only the replacement artifacts, rather than all randarts (based on Chris's current dump).

On 22.9.2012 17:42 chris wrote:
Yes, replacements got broken after I reverted the art generation code. I took a stab at rebalancing and if anybody wants to look at the results, they may download the file Arts1 from the downloads page (~600K). There is now a slight bias to replacement quality with level, especially regarding the low depth uber-powerful arts, like Thorin or Shiva's Jacket. Also, weak art replacements tend to be stronger while uber art replacements tend to be weaker.

Feedback?

On 22.9.2012 18:41 chris wrote:
Overall, rand-arts seem to score slightly better than the originals. There are 10 outliers, some very extreme (e.g. The Broken Dagger of Magician scores a 9 but is replacements certainly don't!). Removing these from consideration, replacements score 128% the power of the originals (Arts2.txt). I'm inclined to go with this ...

On 22.9.2012 21:12 dzhang wrote:
This behavior is a little problematic, because early levels become too easy and late game becomes too hard. Is there no way we can enforce value between 30% and 300% of original?

To be more specific, generate a replacement, then add abilities/pval randomly if value is below 30%, and vice versa for > 300%, until constraints are satisfied.

Not without a major code rewrite and I've already sunk 200+ hours of work into artifacts at this point.

Take a look at Arts3.txt ... I think the agreement in quality is pretty good. I nerfed lights and amulets quite a bit.

On 22.9.2012 22:13 chris wrote:
BTW, I have tried doing something similar to what you suggest (I looped until 70% of power). What ends up happening is that every weapon has +4 speed and stats, but might not be a very good weapon at all.

I think our weapon scoring algorithm needs a bit of work. Just as a passing example there is this:

The Cutlass (3d8) (+17,+5) (+3) {In;Ag|EPV/X*/P} (112.1%)
replacing
The Cutlass 'Gondricam' (1d7) (+10,+11) (+3) {DxSl;AcElFiCo;SiRgLv}

The first weapon is even a contender for the Serpent (47.25 damage on dice vs 4 damage on dice).

On 23.9.2012 06:16 dzhang wrote:
Oh, I've also notice that weapon +todam is too low, and that +tohit is too high. Maybe randart weapon should be biased slightly towards higher +todam? I was thinking something along the lines of this:

Start with base item (Cutlass (1d7) (+0,+0)).
While (Value < Target_Value*0.3)
X = Rand(1,100)
Select (x)
Case 1-20: Increase +todam by rand(1,5);
Case 21-35: Increase +tohit by rand(1,5);
Case 36-37: Increase Dice number by 1.
Case 38-40: Increase Dice sides by 1.
Case 41-45: Gain a brand or slay.
Case 46-50: Increase pval by 1, unless weapon already has Extra attacks, in which case do nothing.
Case 51-60: Gain STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, or CHA. 1/3 chance of gaining corresponding sustain. (choose randomly, do nothing if it's already applied)
Case 61-65: Gain Stealth, Searching, Infravision, or Digging.
Case 66-75: Gain a Low resistance (Acid/Fire/Cold/Elec). Do nothing if it's already applied.
76-77: Gain all low resistances (Acid/Fire/Cold/Elec). 1/3 chance of gaining Rand(1,Rand(1,20)) AC.
78-90: Gain a High resistance.
91-96: Gain a weak ability (Regeneration, Slow Digestion, See Invisible, Free Action, Light Up, Levitation)
97: Gain Telepathy or Reflection (1/2 chance of each).
98: Gain Extra Attacks, set pval = 1.
99: Gain Speed
100: Gain an Activation.

End Select
Evaluate (Value)

(Hit Post comment too early. Clearly, the table can be tweaked, and maybe Target_Value*0.5 may be a better threshold.)

Chris, could you post a pseudo-code for current replace art generation?

A few more thoughts; I've collected them on the Wiki.

On 23.9.2012 06:39 dzhang wrote:
One last thought: There's no reason the Replacement Art generation code has to be the same as the Randart generation code. To me, the standarts and replacement arts are there to provide a sort of background expectation, whereas the randarts are their to provide mostly transitional items, but occassionally very powerful endgame items. That's why I'd like replacement artifact to have power levels much more in line with standarts.

OK, I am no longer only getting +4 pval randarts. Instead, I just picked up this:

h) The Chain Mail of Merlin's Pattern (-2) [14,+13] (+6 to stealth)
{InSlIf;AcFe[C dlvl 30 ulfang}

Well, that's a nice replacement for Arvedui. So strangely enough, I'm actually decent at Stealth (Heroic).

Was Malekith always this hard? I admit I haven't really encountered him much lately, but he managed to get me down to 60 HP in melee (granted, I didn't bring a source of Speed). Anyway, I guess it's time to pause Angband quest for Camelot and then Bat-hunting.

Arthur is down, but Gawain and Lancelot are both beyond my current capabilities, not to speak of Morgana. Of course, if I had Notes of the Acting Master, all that would change.

An unresisted breath from Gachapin gave me Extra Resilience, which is always appreciated.
