Randart ring mail's not that bad, though~

Ring mail's about as high as it goes before it gets utterly not worth it, though. Even then, if you can patch that resist hole with a robe, leather armor, or the lighter dragon stuff instead...

Maybe just bump the effect of the armor skill on heavy armor penalties?

EDIT: I should say, it would make sense to me for a master armor wearer to be better in armor than not, in all things. Maybe full penalty cancellation at 27 is too much, but still... something a little more impressive than halving a semi-crippling penalty.

Harsh man, harsh. I think you want to say 'PC games tend to not be as playable when ported to consoles.'

'Cause, yanno, despite not having a console since the early days of the first Xbox, I still remember Super Mario Brothers, which was a pretty awesome game that the console didn't really ruin.

Less buttons would be an interesting thing to see overcome for a Diablo game, though. I don't remember the console D1 turning out all that well, but hopefully they'll have learned from that or something*.

* Probably not.

Yet is a hatefully vicious and indefinite term. It could be tomorrow, ten years from this point, next Tuesday, or two seconds from now.

I think what folks are wanting to know is if that 'yet' means 'indefinite future greater than 2-4 weeks' or not. Or if that kind of commitment to a definite time frame can't be made.

It'd make 'em more comfortable doing longer-term things. Wouldn't change a thing for me (I need sleep and schoolwork at the moment), but yeah.

Aww, I feel missed. Two player map though

Level nine, now. Probably need to fire up crawl in a day or two and check it out...

Orb spewed flamer cyborgs all over the place. I was about the only fellow on our side hard teching (Penguin was starting to ramp up, though), so we probably lost the research battle, too. Ultimately though, flamer cyborgs everywhere.

Almost. Ping's setting up a map besides ziggurat.

Yeah... I can't even load the isometric maps in Opera or Firefox, probably because the bloody thing's nearly 1020 megs in size. Part of that's the ridiculous resolution on the thing (20800x10656!?), but that bloody useless loop innit helping anything.

Anyway, there's a lot of empty space on the map as is, so I dinnae think we're exactly squished up against each other -- there's multiple areas the size of the thicket that's completely untouched. Push comes to shove, get someone capable to cuboid a plot of flat land for yeh in one of the inbetween spots.

Getting the map up to a decent size is fine, but exploration for exploration's sake (Loop! *shakes fist*) is probably something to be left to single player, yanno'?
