First off -- bug? I hit the home button to switch to Safari to look up a weapon I just picked up, and when I went back to the game I was back at the beginning of the level. Same items (though not same monsters). Second: Grr. I had just hit a level on which there was both a powerful magic AND something that smelled good... and I hit a pit trap. Third: I vorpalized a weapon. Yay! Now I get the option to zap every time I go to bring up the inventory. What will zapping my katana of rattlesnake slaying do?
It should mean you get a one time "Insta Kill of a Rattlesnake"...but rumor has it it might actually kill any creature, but only usable once. Also, as you may have already heard, make sure you DO NOT Vorpalize the same weapon again or it will go POOF!
I need some help. I checked out the chronosoft equipment page and these rings are not on there. Can someone please explain what the ring of agate and the ring of onyx do? Since putting them on I randomly teleport and find gold in cracks everywhere. I assume the gold is the ring of agate and the teleporting the ring of onyx. My problem is I'm teleporting all over the place with apparently no way to control it. Also I appear to be stuck on the 4th floor with no way out. I've back tracked and back tracked and no stairs or pitfalls or anything.
Your problem is my friend is that those two rings haven't been identified yet. You need to use a scroll of identify one them. It appears you have Ring of Searching (which constantly searches a 3x3 grid around you as you walk, sometimes finding gold in cracks in the floor and secret doors and traps) and you have the Ring of Teleportation (which at random will teleport you to a random location on the level). The ring of teleportation may be cursed but don't quote me on that
The rings you are wearing have not been identified. Based on what the rings are doing to you, you can assume one is a Ring of Searching and one is a Ring of Teleportation. You will not be able to remove the teleportation ring until you find an item that removes curses. Please take a screenshot of the level you are stuck and and we will help find your way out for you. There is always a way down. If you're super frustrated, you might consider just restarting since you're only on the fourth floor.
Ahh, I think I get what is going on. All unidentified items in the games like scrolls, potions, rings, and wands initially have what amounts to place holder names. So the Agate and Onyx are just cute place holder names and not their true identity. Something a little annoying about rings, as you have already discovered I'm sure, is that unlike a potion or scroll that will automatically ID itself once used, the only way to tag a ring with it's true identity is to use a scroll of identify. From your description one is clearly a Ring of Teleportation (annoying 90% but also could save your life if you just wandered accidentally into a Treasure Room) and a Ring of Searching (great for finding hidden cash, traps, and secret doors). Also realize that wearing rings makes you burn through your food a lot faster (how much faster depends on the rings).
How would I go about identifing the rings??? If I cannot find my way out today I'll post a screenshot tonight. Thanks guys. EDIT: Just re-read the post and Lord Geks and see I need a scroll of Identify. Sorry
Well "had" he died of a heroin overdose a couple of years ago He was my favorite comedian. He also really liked cake!
Crap, no wonder why I hadn't seen him more recently. I was a big fan but had never quite caught his name previously.
Hi Bethany, I'm away on a business trip, and saw that LordGek answered part of your question: RE: vorpalize. I am typing on my iPhone so forgive any mistakes here. I wanted to comment on your first issue, the potential bug when exiting the game. I recently discovered and eliminated one bug for version 1.5 that made it fail to save on very rare occasions. I think I know where the other problem lies now, and hope to have it nipped in version 1.6. Right now, Rogue Touch autosaves when you descend or ascend to a new level. In case of a save failure when exiting the game, it falls back to that start of level saved game, which is what you experienced. It's great to have that safety net, but I am definitely working to fix the save on exit glitch. Too bad you fell through the pit trap before collecting all that loot! If anyone has questions or comments please keep them coming... I will check back in tonight from the hotel. Laptop will make it much easier to write my usual large posts! Talk to you all soon! Thanks
My new idea: every time I get a new high score or reach a level I haven't been before I reward myself with a game playing as a special character... It stops it from getting frustrating when you think you've used up your luck (and skill?) for the day but still want to have some fun
Great job on that kill romulus!! Neo would be one of the toughest secret characters to defeat in skeleton form, so you've got some skills! Speaking of secret characters.... does anyone have a favorite idea for a new secret character for 1.6? If so, share the name and equipment and abilities you think that they should have! If I really like it I'll try my best to get it in the next update
Well, I would agree discussing them in the open makes them not so secret... However, I have a certain plan to make it tough to guess even if they are posted outright! Feel free to share ideas right here, or if you feel your idea is SO great that no one should hear about it in advance, send me or Lord Gek a PM
