Maybe give shalore marauder a go? They're a bit more varied than 'zerkers iirc, and from what I understand the timeless+unstoppable combo is basically an "I Win" button.

Yeah, you mostly forgot step 1 for playing shalore on any difficulty (but especially the higher ones): Go up the stairs

Though trying to kill a bear right off the bat was a bit silly, too. Those buggers are tanky enough on lower difficulties, without the insane boosts. Leaving, go off to trollmire (or maybe heart of the gloom -- it's pretty likely to have squishy rats to oneshot) or something would have been your better bet. Avoiding tougher critters and rares for a few levels is good, too. You definitely have to play differently on the upper difficulties, from what I understand.

Though don't forget the best insane/madness starting strategy: Go around checking the towns and drowning any rares/uniques that generated. Absolute best bet at level 1 in higher difficulties for XP and some jumpstart loot, that.

Or lower, for the very unfortunate. Or people with their browser resized down a bit, I guess.

800 is usually a good ballpark, though... you can probably go up to around 1k or so, honestly. Just... not much beyond that.

... okay folks. Joke's over. You don't have to go home, but you need to go away.

From geriatric lesbianism to political foursomes, this discussion is really going places. I'm not quite sure why LW is expressing his fetishes regarding politicians, but... maybe this discussion should be heading in a direction somewhat less salacious?

Naturally, I was at full health beforehand. Not that it mattered

Hell, sheb, I probably qualify as jewish -- one of the great grandfathers was one, which would be more than enough to qualify for native american. That doesn't mean an adherent of judaism

That's actually one of the most personally irritating parts of the religion, honestly. It's bloody annoying to have an ethnic group and a religious group sharing the exact same ruddy name. Whoever decided it was a good idea to set up a situation where Jew =/= Jew can be a true statement should be pummeled.

I am kind of wondering how long it will be until we start to have a sort of different age system.

A sort of opt in age system. So people can say they are any age they want to be.

Like... in games? And whatnot?

Because if so, we already do. It's called "lying".

Hell, I still adjust my age by a few years by habit, despite being well over the age of majority nowadays. No point in giving accurate information unless there's reason to, and there's very rarely reason to online.
