[QUOTE=Murky42;31383923]What I am currently doing to avoid monster zoos is using move in mysterious ways (from the burglary tree).
Pretty much I teleport inside of the door allowing me to see what is inside.
Already avoided 2 monster zoos with this technique.
Pretty much try the burglary skill tree its amazing.[/QUOTE]

[release][B]Patch Status[/B]
July 28th, 2011 by Nicholas Vining
Hi, folks!
We’re still grinding away on the next patch; this is slightly complicated by the fact that I am moving on Sunday, so my apartment furniture consists of nothing but my desk, chair, and a never-ending sea of boxes. There are two practical sides to this, however. The first is that I will be in the same city as David, which can only increase The Madness. Gaslamp will have shared offices again! David may yet drink decent coffee, if I have anything to do with it! And so forth. The second consequence is that I was originally slated to begin a Ph.D in Computer Science as of September; this has now been pushed back to January 2012 so we can wrestle the madness a little bit more, and ensure that Gaslamp is well set up to work on the next thing. (Who knows if I make it there in January, either. At the rate things are going, all bets are off. Dredmor may have spelled the end of my academic career… or not. Who knows. It worked for Jeff Vogel…)
That said: our planned next revision hums along at a good pace. My working notes on the things that have actually been fixed are below: subtract these from the most recent list we put up to get an approximate idea of the amount of work is remaining. I’m considering splitting this into smaller patches, so we can get this out sooner rather than later; at the same time, I want to make sure that we … well, for a lack of a better term, that we get everybody’s pet issues. If you want to participate in our Exciting Dredmor Blooper Beta Bonus Round, send us an e-mail to [email]ilovetocrash@gaslampgames.com[/email] (really) and tell us why you want to be one of our Exciting Patch Testers. Preference will be given to those who participated in the beta, to those who have been active in the community with assembling bug reports and tracking things, and to those with existing QA experience.
Okay. List of things we’ve done so far… is below.
FIXED ISSUES
- FIXED: Game not correctly processing some right clicking mouse clicks.
- FIXED: Lag due to blood splatters.
- FIXED: Dual wielding was not working, in particular the last skill.

- FIXED: Warrior health (and other things) were not being calculated correctly.
- FIXED: Item duplication bug when hitting “0″
- FIXED: incorrect item values for Cybertronic Amulet
- FIXED: incorrect item values for Dark Orb
- FIXED: being able to save and quit the game after your death
- FIXED: nightmare curse not actually putting monsters to sleep (or correctly triggering the DOT)
- FIXED: SHIFT-Click mode, when turned on, doesn’t correctly handle SHIFT-Clicking as regular clicking.
- FIXED: unliving walls do not become permanent blockers after saving and re-loading the game
- FIXED: stacked necronomiconomics penalties prevent the player from disabling his other buffs
- FIXED: right-clicking, off turn, causes left-clicking behaviours.

- FIXED: KRONG text no longer mentions crafting skill
- FIXED: starting part of Monster Zoo music wasn’t playing

- NERF: Using a wand now disables invisibility effects.

- Made acid traps marginally less deadly.
- Added some magic resistance to a skill line. We don’t remember which one, you’ll have to figure it out.
- Fixed zorkmid scaling drop rate.
- Changed graveyard text so people no longer think their scores are negative.
- Weapon and armour stats have been given some more love.
- Elven Ingot Grinder is now affected by alchemy, not smithing or tinkering
- Alchemists now start with an Ingot Grinder, giving them more rubbish than any other class.
- Heavy armour now reduces piercing damage (and thus might actually be useful.)
- Heavy armour now also reduces your nimbleness.
- Added a new annoyance to Floor 10.

I emailed them for their "beta" program, I hope I get in :v:

I wonder if it's ley lines.
Aww, they fixed all my inventory glitches :v:
[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;31387104]I wonder if it's ley lines.[/QUOTE]
Hopefully, it needs a buff since 90% of the time bloodmage is better.
"dreeenk blaht"
I read it in the voice of the "I speel my drink!" guy from deus ex for some reason :v:
Guys I got my character on level 8 but I forgot that drinking a potion of radiance next to brax is a bad idea.
I managed to quickly dispose of him and looted his small store and ran away.
So I ran away from the dread collectors and ran upstairs but I don't know if they will keep spawning and I don't know if i should still go to brax at all.
Any advice?
Stock up if you can and go and check.

Je va Vlad och je va NUL VAMPIRE! BLEIGH!
Well I made it to level 9.
Anyway if you steal from a shop even if you go up/down stairs the demons still keep on spawning.
However if you move to a different floor you are safe and Brax will not attempt to murder you.
Also for any newbies looking for a decent build take maces,master of arms,burglary,assassination,archaeology,dual wielding and Berserk.
Finally got to floor 4 with my new character (Maces, Promethian Magic, Astrology, Vampirism, Magic Training, Ley Lines, Beserker Rage). Then, I killed myself with a trap. Again. Idiot.
Well, I got this game today. Was trying skill sets and kept dying on the first floor.
Then I tried unarmed while getting as much block as I could. I had two shields and I made my way to floor 5.
[QUOTE=TheLaw;31399158]anyone enlighten me?[/QUOTE]I'm not sure how to do it for regular items, but if you equip an item (for example, a sword), then pick it up from its slot and hit 0, it puts another one in the equip slot. Due to this, I now have 4096 copies of a sword. If you use the crafting tool bug to stack similar items, it'll double the amount every time.

Woops died on level 10.
The enemies there are about three times as tough as level 9 be careful.

Doesn't work for me.
Okay, I'm a bit overpowered now, Just 1 hitting everything as soon as I get on the floor...
Got to level ten, but this shit's hard, shitloads of enemies casting spells and having loads of HP.
[QUOTE=Lance99;31409694]Got to level ten, but this shit's hard, shitloads of enemies casting spells and having loads of HP.[/QUOTE]And the corruption blobbies.
Is putting a stack of 50 lutefisk into a horadric cube and it turning into a single piece of lutefisk considered a bug, or a feature?
I think it's a bug, it happens to the other item stacks as well.
Yeah, anything weird with stacks or autofill is a bug.
Just got my best run at 81212, After clearing out a monster zoo on level 4, Went up a floor to try and get to a shop, The doorframe bug hits, and I die.
I loaded my save only to find all the items i had stashed in my crafting items had dissappeared, making me lose pretty much all the valuable stuff i had, does this usually happen?
Sometimes they may appear in other crafting items, it seems pretty random.
Yeah, I really wouldn't store anything in crafting items you're not prepared to lose.
How far has anyone managed to get on going rogue? I can just barely get into floor 4, but I have to play hella smart to manage that much.
