    Default You know the game hates you when...

    Wondering if you guys have any saved moments when you just KNOW the RNG is actually deliberately trying to screw you.

    Because I just ran into one that made me slam my head on the desk.

    Code:

                                                                 ###.

    haha. I know the feeling man I started a character and before I was lvl 6, I ran in to a tension room full of wild cats. Those kitties didn't purr anymore

    Not really the RNG, but today I was looking through some old save files that had gathered dust for a while. Mostly early chars that I just hadn't played further for a reason or another. There was this lvl10 high elf paladin - I looked the char and decided that it was too boring char to continue, so left the chain with it. Then afterwards, looking at the ID'd equipment, there of course was an AoLS on her neck.

    I think that this forum already has a fair number of these "best/worst RNG moment" topics.

    My lucky elementalist got into a similar situation. She had a Wand of Wonder and tried it on the wall. She got the spell Mystic Showel and a passage opened, but unfortunately it was a dead end. She tried the wand again and this time she got the Teleportation spell, she had eaten a blink dog but not knowing what the spell was she cast it on the wall. She didn't have enough PP to cast either of those spells that she had newly learned. Instead she cast Darkness and Invisibilty hoping that she would get past those lovely kittens somehow, but eventually she had to kill them both.

    Well, just kill one of the damn cats, and take the XP instead of the ring.
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    You would think so, but i took a look about 4-5 pages back to see if i could attach this to an old thread. Nothing, really.

    I didn't bother to look back any further.

    Possible escapes:

    -Ventriloquism
    -Music
    -zap all wands hoping for teleport or something useful
    -invisibility potion on self
    -blindness or confusion potion on one of the cats
    -kick one of the cats on Coward in the hope of making it panic and run at low HP

    Not all are guaranteed of course, and in the end killing a kitty isn't the end of the game.

    You know Grey, i've never thought of that kicking solution before.

    That's an interesting way out that requires nothing particular in your inventory... though i imagine the success rate is hit or miss.

    Wild cats are so weak that even a single kick could kill them though.
