Anybody else our there?

Hey,

Just wondering if anybody else is playing the new verision, and wondering if they think its as good as i do? I'd welcome some spirited discussion on game mechanics (should it be easier to gain C-Levels? Could there be a way to switch between classes quicker?) As well as any tips people are willing to lend (how do I keep from dying quite as much?)


In any event, Thanks to Variaz for providing a solid variant, and I look forward to hearing from others.

Seems like you're the first poster here on this board! It might take a little while until many peoples comes here, as it's hasen't been a week yet since I created this board. Still, it's nice to see that some peoples are interested in posting here! Hope more peoples will come here soon!

So, seems like you're dying heh? Good! ;D Seriously though, you have to understand my variant was meant to be difficult. But here's a few tips I can give you:

- Use scrolls of teleportation!! You have no ideas how many times these scrolls saved my life. Scrolls of phase door, while they have a short range, are useful if you just want to get away without running away(useful if you plan on using ranged attacks).

- Buy potions of cure serious/critical wounds! Bleeding is nasty, especially if you have low hp, and these potions might just save your life.

- Use the look command! You don't want to hit a damages returning boss and kill yourself instantly!

These are basic strategies that should apply to all type of characters. No matter what you play, you should always have a few scrolls of teleport/phase door, as well as a few potions.

Well, hope these tips helps! Of course, there are many other strategies that you can imagine, but it all depends on what kind of character you like playing.
