Welcome to hell~~ <3

Urge to jump ship rising! And I'm not even finished reading it yet. That's about all I can say right now, until I've digested that more. Suffice it to say that while I was already fairly disgusted with what's going on around these parts, I am now more so disgusted.

Know of anywhere less screwed up, with a survivable immigration policy, but still fairly livable?

it's stil too big for me. i'll try to remember to download this by the end of the month if i still have some traffic left

Okay, got something for you to try, if you can spare the bandwidth. It's a very ghetto-style slimmed down version of T4 b34 (Just cut the music and most of the graphics out) that comes out to be about ten megs, roughly a forth of the normal T4 nomusic download. I have no idea if it will work, or work well, or anything along those lines, and completely disclaim myself of anything of that nature! But tentative test has it working, so it might function for you, too.

This is the link. It's to mediafire; tell me if that doesn't work or you have a preferred filehosting site, and I'll upload there, instead.

It's less buggy than last version, but there are some outstanding (and a few new) bugs to be had. Always happens, heh.

Chair, could you try swapping to ASCII for a mo' and seeing the stairs show up? I'm in b34 and seeing the mark just fine, but am playing ASCII. I understand there's occasionally oddities in tile mode that isn't there in not-tile, heh.

Re: Focus in golem eye: The only thing that would happen would be the base damage changing, as with all gems. You wouldn't get any stat bonii from it.

Ice. Ice damage. There's a difference between cold and ice damage The freeze thing has been reported, though. Have hit it twice, myself. The freezing-iceblock... maybe. Dunno, but I'll suggest it over on the forum, I think. The CPU lockup is definitely being caused by trying to get out of an iceblock, though.

Generally less effort and risk in just waiting until your character dies to upgrade. It's possible to get old version characters to load in newer versions, but it's fairly likely to cause problems.

Is there any ways to save -only- when i want to save/quit the game ?

Not that I've noticed. You could definitely muck around with the code to get that sort of effect, but I've no clue how. The best you can do is get it to only save on zone change (and when you tell it to, of course). You could give a shout over on the T4 forums and request that. Dunno if it'd get in until the game's more finished, though -- a big reason for regular autosave is simply the aid it gives to testing and debugging.

Hmm so I'm seeing items that have the size +1 category.  Looked it up on google but couldn't find any info.  What does it mean?

It means you get one size category larger

Seriously though, it doesn't do much right now. There's some brawler talents that are messed with by size cat, but it's generally only meaningful for halflings (and yeeks, I think.). There's a few other talents that interact with size cat in various ways, but they're fairly rare.

What potion is better from the halfling alchemist?  +5 luck or 2 class points? I'm an elf shadow rogue btw.

Probably the class points. Luck is nice, but class points are considerably more scares than +luck kit.

I don't get what you mean.  I can't seem to find a page on the wiki that tells me what luck is for either.

It's at least theoretically possible to get five (or six, I think) potions from the alchemist quests, if you get really freaking lucky. It's probably not going to happen. Usually, you're only going to get three or four.

As for luck, it gives a little bonus to most things. +Acc, +dam, +SP, +saves, +other stuff. Unlike earlier ToMEs, it has no effect on item generation. It's actually pretty decent, but class points are considerably more decent, heh.

Would you believe I couldn't find a rule 34 of the OSI model? That makes me sad
