Re: What is the most important thing in MAngband?

I too voted for means of escape, tactical awareness, and resists. For me means of escape is more important early on, and tactical awareness more important later on. Afterall, there's a limited amount of tactical information available to a level 1 warrior. Carrying phase door scrolls and a couple of ...

Re: Focus on the New User

Cool. Bear in mind we have this newbie document which covers a fair bit of detail. But lacks a simple step by step MAngband getting started thing.

Re: Focus on the New User

This is an oldish thread I'd just like to give an update on a few of the points raised here. Floating eye endless-paralysis loop sucks This never happens anymore. Floating eyes teleport themselves when they attack. BSV's in town suck, and are fun for noone. The tough townies have been turned passive...

Re: Focus on the New User

Hi nubnub, Also, this is a very minor complaint, but I actually do get lost in the town; I've tried looking at the map of player owned shops to find my way back to the dungeon, but it isn't marked, so I usually get killed by a dog or something first. Come to think of it, so do I, this has been annoy...

Re: Housing Shortage

This sounds to my like the same as in "artifact" shortage where no one will help me :) This is nothing at all like the artifact situation. 91 artifacts are found, and only 2 or 3 are owned by characters who have not logged in recently (despite the popular myth). This leaves just under 50 findable. ...

Re: Housing Shortage

Here's a little bit of context, 50% of all the houses owned in the game are owned by only 8 characters.

Re: Housing Shortage

We're not about to start deleting your character if you have 3 or 4 houses. But some characters have over 20 houses, which is just crazy.

Housing Shortage

Hello! We are currently short of housing on mangband.org. If you have more than two houses could you please make efforts to sell some of the extra ones. This would be much appreciated by your fellow players who are struggling to find one. The worst offenders will be put on a public "list of shame" i...

Re: Web Feature: Dump shows depth at time of death

Hi Berendol, I've only just seen your post. It's indeed strange that the depth of death isn't included in the dump. It's possible to get this information from the online high score chart itself, but I agree it should be in the dump also. Adding deaths to the Character History in the dump is a great ...

Re: A YASD... and a bug

If our behaviour matches Angband and you suspect it's a bug then it would indeed be best to report this as a bug upstream to the Angband devs.

You can raise bug reports directly here: http://dev.rephial.org/trac

Re: A YASD... and a bug

It's worth knowing that the "Scene of Death" doesn't always get the position of the "@" right. :) I'm not suggesting this is the case here, but this just reminded me I've been meaning to let people know. At the time the scene of death is generated, the player is dead (obviously) so isn't in the loca...

New Ironman Server

Hello! We've brought a new ironman server online today, "ironman.mangband.org". As an experiment, the main server and the ironman server are linked, so you will see chat from both servers regardless of which server you are playing on. Chat and messages announcing player leveling, players getting kil...

Re: Miniature cell vault

A hard one to fix. We should really make this vault match vanilla, but I just couldn't do it. Everyone loves those great mini cell vaults, I couldn't be the one to take them away, someone else will have to do it :-)
