If you want a challenge avoid any type of spell casters and play a melee. Class selection is kind of a way to change the difficultly of the game. Wizards are by far the easiest to play, then other...
I am an actual statistician; that means it is likely I know more about sampling than any other member on these forums (unless they have a similar education). Opt-in options do not provide...
I would not put much stock in such lists, it clearly is not representative of the actual ADOM player population. I didn't even know that site existed.
I personally hope that melee classes are never "balanced" to caster classes. Casters are far too easy and melee keeps the game interesting. Casters just amass power and nuke everything, melee...
You are playing a melee. . . . if you want to kill things with acid ball play a caster class.
You can still use the numbers on the keypad to change it.
I believe you can no longer wish for pairs of 7LBs, I think it is one pair per wish now. Not that that would have convinced me; I never considered it a very convincing aspect before.
I just never favored wishing for items that have a significant chance of being destroyed. I know people like 7LBs, but personally I just don't think they are worth a wish. I just don't put as much...
When I played wizards, farsight was one of my top three spells. Farsight, magic missile and teleport makes you just about unstoppable.
However, I am not a big archer player either, see you seem...
Well you can "strongly disagree", but I clearly have a difference perspective. ADOM has no shortage of treasure, so I don't see as much value in wishing on items over skills. Due to the fact there is...
I personally think in most cases the amulet of life saving to save Khelavaster or an eternium tower shield are really the only two items worth wishing for. There might be special cases like if you...
We can argue that any skill can be used, even woodcraft, but that still doesn't mean it is a worthwhile skill. The whole skill tree is antiquated and could use revision.
I am not arguing they are useful, I am arguing like appraising they are not devoid of all use. Just because a skill can sometimes be used that doesn't mean it is not in need of improvement.
Even if apprising makes something less of a gamble, it is still a gamble, you can get cursed items that have a fair appraisal. I stopped using it for that reason, and I just have not used it in...
I use haggle, but only when it is at a high skill level, as failing raises cost. I also use bridge-building, when I encounter early game water without the swimming skill. Early game I am still...
Maybe what would work is a survey that let's people rank each skill by their own standards then take a generalized consensus. I am not sure there would be a lot of replies, however.
However, once you know that Law loses its usefulness. Once you know what all the chaotic acts are Law becomes a lot less useful.
I suppose cooking's main utility comes in preserving corpses, and its usefulness will relate to how a player uses this aspect.
Also I am not sure if group tiers are the best way to go about a ranking system. I'll have to think about that one.
If you play a hurtling merchant or farmer, with the increased carrying capacity by the time you find an altar you generally have enough corpses stocked up to get your pre-crown or near it on the...
90% of the time I play a hurtling, so I end up just cooking everything. I use rats to train cats, not for the cat lord quest, I hate that quest and never do it. I do it for a short term companion, I...
I know I am making a point about this statement:
I use cooking, I don't use appraising. A ranking system needs more than just one person's opinion.
What about cooking rats so you can save them to tame cats and you can save displacer beast corpses for an early game emergency teleport. And the fact you can use it to un-cruse cursed corpses, like...
What would be a nice feature for cooking would be recipes for special food dishes.
