I'd also like to know what "fast regen" means. Precisely what it means. (Is it double regen? Triple?)


Hmm...I've been struggling a little with getting good use out of Glowing Guardain post-nerf. Humility is still an excellent boon and makes me want to go Guardian. Buuuut I feel like if I'm going Guardian I basically need to save up 80 piety just so that I can use my potions. (Actually wait, if you have 80 piety, might as well use that 20 piety healing boon, as it's 50% HP/MP healing, so using it four times heals slightly more than 4x potion+4x mana potion). 80 piety seems like a lot of piety just to do something you were going to do anyway.

Although...hmm, maybe I've been doing it wrong; maybe what I should be doing is converting all the potions as soon as I worship GG. 8x potion conversion gives me 40 piety, I think, so I just need to get another 40 to get back to the amount of healing I would have previously had. This would also handle another aspect of GG I've been struggling with (having 0 peity when you start worshiping GG is scary; you really want at least 5 to start doing stuff).

I find it pretty odd that GG is arguably the worst god to worship as a priest, due to their 100% health potion effectiveness. Pretty definitively as a halfling priest, since you end up with so many health potions.

I also find sanctify awesome, but kind of tedious. In one game as a non-priest (can't remember which class!) I found myself going back to the altar before nearly every kill to turn it on (this enabled me to get to both absolution, and have enough piety left over to heal during the boss fight).

The GG is sorta supposed to be tedious... Maybe we should give you a charm when you ask for the absolution boon that you can click to enable it and spend the piety, but it'd take up a slot and if you convert it, well - that'd just be a bad idea.

I actually just had a game where I started worshipping Mystera as a gnome rogue, hopped across to the GG in order to convert glyphs and kill magical enemies, then converted back to Mystera for the final boss battle so I could quaff potions. Worked pretty well.

Here are a few more bugs I ran into & minor (?) tweaks I'd love to see. Looking good!

1. endiswal description text is cut off “This effect will...”
2. foot prints draw over character
3. pressing 1 does not activate the puzzle wand
4. player looks like a monster in the third Explorer's League puzzle, where everything is in a column. Since the character is not in the center of an unexplored region, maybe it needs a little something visually to stand out.
5. I wish the borders of the screen were not the same color as the unexplored tiles after I have explored the region directly adjacent to them.
5. Hooray for puzzles and the Explorer’s League!
6. I'd really like to be able to move with the keyboard, and not just the mouse.

more bugs and annoying feature requests, enjoy

1. the race/class selection menu still isn’t drawing correctly for me. Only the icons appear, and they overlay on the town map.
2. no new puzzles available in Explorer’s Guild when prompted that this was so after upgrading mage tower to lvl2
3. stone skin tooltip always reads 10%, even if I use ENDISWALL on two walls in a row. The other tooltip that describes the physical resistance updates with the stacking percentage. I'm confused by the two icons here.
4. lvl 10 wraith boss in northern desert had no discovery text or name, just an empty dialog with “OK”
5. when I beat the goo boss and returned the scroll, I clicked through 6 dialogs. I enjoyed the text in these dialogs, but felt assaulted (!!) by pop-ups
6. It would be nice if when viewing a building for a race that isn’t upgraded (such as the Dwarves frathouse), I could see what exactly I would gain by spending the money. So, with the Dwarves, I’d like to see what their class bonuses are and such.

1. pressing ENTER on the login screen has no effect
2. changing OS volume with my keyboard button pulls me out of fullscreen mode, probably b/c it displays a volume overlay graphic? (Microsoft Nautrual Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 w/ software on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
3. can’t mouse over enemy status icons to discover what they do
4. I've crashed within the first few moves of the last 3 dungeon attempts (full screen and not, different classes). I've pasted the crash info from a full screen mode as a berzerker in the western jungle dungeon when first trying to move by clicking on a mana tile. First saw a flash of some error info, then a Visual C++ Runtime error. I clicked the dialog to get more info before closing that chrome tab app instance and got this:

The Unity plug-in in the DD game frame for the page now displays the dead plug-in icon.

more notes:

1. class and race menu don’t display properly, only icons display

2. can’t access any dungeon preparations

3. priest predicts death and dies against zombie with 60 hp left when priest can do 30 damage with first strike. What am I missing?

4. Tikki Tooki Dodging boon tooltip (before purchase) reads as both giving 5% and 10% bonuses

5. Tikki Tooki Quicksilver boon does not list (before purchase) numeric increase in dodge rate given by potion

6. Tikki Tooki Reflexes boon is ambiguous (before purchase) about when you get the extra attack

7. I wish I could find out what the gods would reward/punish before worshipping them, and wasn’t tempted to just look on the Wiki. I tend to just not bother with them, if I am feeling too lazy to look it up, since I can’t make interesting decisions w/o lots of time wasted on trial and error.

8. I can’t seem to make use of the information the Taxidermist provides, since there aren’t usually hints about where the various bosses are of the right type.

9. It would be nice if my damage number changed color when it was boosted by an effect like BYSEPS, so I would know immediately that it was already calculated

10. The wraiths are hard to see and not as cool looking as the old skeles

11. Guardian of Magic reads “counters fireball”; BURNDARAYZ doesn’t mention “fireball”

12. PISORF has no effect on lvl 6 Wraith with its back up against the wall, lvl 5 rogue (dark brown wall in southern swamp). Turns out this is just me not being able to figure out that the brown tile was a ditch. Now that I know it, it still doesn’t really look like a ditch to me.

13. the game is fun, thanks
