I found a bug or two

[Elone]

As soon as I entered the first level of the fire cave, a hostile fire drake started attacking me, but it soon became tame for no good reason. I noticed it when I kept attacking it, and then I got the "Do you really wanna splatter this poor overgrown firebreathing red lizard?" thingy, or something along those lines. I noticed that some dungeon features are not generated as they should be, for instance, one door got generated as brown (wood) instead of grey (iron). I encountered the same door bug a bit further into the dungeon. Also, the equipment destruction is huge, my books of frost bolt, clw, the out-of-depth spellbook of major teleportation, and most of my scrolls burned away while I fought that drake. Wasnt this area supposed to be for starters who dont have access to fproof blankets, ice rings, and ice gloves yet? I havent set my foot into its counterpart (ice cave) cuz they say it's buggy, but how about placing some guaranteed anti-fire equips, if there arent some already?

Notice the different door colours. Maybe this is a feature and not a bug? Also, the drake is standing on the staircase to wilderness.

*NOW* i am curious.

Oooohhh!!!! *raises an eyebrow*

Meh - whatever, now. Might as well say a bit or two, this time about currently existing items in ADOM2.

Finally found an artefact - Ring of the Master Bat [+7,-7] (2,4). It's a random artefact at this time, but will be a reward for not killing any bats later on, Master Bat will give you one (else he will be hostile). Allows you to float, avoiding water, pits, and other traps and ground effects but you cant pick any items from the ground. Autocurses every 3d4 turns; it has no bad effects while cursed, other than being irremovable.

Shield of Raw Deal is said to already be around, it calculates PV and DV randomly whenever you're attacked, ranging from 50% to 150%. Those percents vary with B/U/C of the shield.

I'm waiting for the long-awaited Spellbook of Neutralise Potion ("a transparent tome" when unidentified) to be implemented. It will turn any potion (or a stack) into a potion of water (retaining the original potion's B/U/C status).

Whether these get implemented or not, depends on user feedback.

Ah, fakeposts about ADOM2, a time honored tradition since the days of the roguelike google groups.

[Elone]

That was not polite nor nice of you. I have an exact and a good reason for posting all this, and it's to get people involved into some fun roleplay, while still being as creative and realistic as possible.

In the roguelike google groups which you mentioned, people play along instead, and have a lot of fun in the process!

But you had to ruin it.

One line of mine will hold true: Whether these get implemented or not, depends on user feedback! Occasionally a good idea or two will surface. I only think that it's bad to start a whole thread about an unimportant detail, and troll it into inflating to something bigger than it is.

Bah - anyone who reads this, message me with your thoughts if you have any? =/

...for instance, one door got generated as brown (wood) instead of grey (iron)...

I am not sure if either door type would be appropriate for that cave, as one burns while the other melts. Needs revising I guess.

Wasnt this area supposed to be for starters who don't have access to fireproof blankets, ice rings, and ice gloves yet?

Uh, it looks like you are in the DoF (dungeon of fire) and not the fire cave. The fire cave actually isn't filled with fire, just has fire lizards around and such. The item destruction is still nasty-ish, and a fireproof blanket is recommended though. Its ok for a starting cave, but I would suggest being level 6 at least if you don't wish for a quick death. The orc pits offer a much faster and safer start, just make sure to go with the Dwarves if you are friendly to them, or Grobash and his gang if you aren't and they'll keep you from being overwhelmed.

The DoF is *definitely* for after the ice cave, I am surprised you survived long enough to *fight* the drake.

[Andur]

Ice troll blankets are a bad idea, you wouldn't want your blanket coming back to life now would you...

one of the more interesting aspects of the ice caves is the invisible ice bridges I found in it. You might come to an uncrossable canyon inside the caves dropping down what has to be a good 500 feet. But fear not! Just seach around and you'll find the start of an invisible ice bridge somewhere. I've heard that the "alert" talent can help with this alot, it finally found a good use. Just search search search and you'll eventually get a message "There appears to be some kind of footing to the west, but you cant quite make it out" Just dont be like me and cross with a full backpack, guess it follows the same rules as ice bridges you make over water. first YASD in adom2 for me =(
