Scales, horns and apish corruptions might do a lot or little depending on your class of cause, but you *do* have to keep in mind what changes you've undergone as some will really throw spanners in your play style.<br /><br />Also the antenna is just a mini scroll of magic mapping, teleportitis can be gained from many other sources than corruption (pools, pixies), spitting acid is the Drakeling racial... A lot of the corruptions don't actually change the mechanics of the game in any *new* ways, they're just another source of access to some otherwise hard to obtain affects.<br /><br />I agree that the new corruptions should be interesting and evocative, I doubt anyone would disagree with that, but the affects of ChAoS generally will manifest in similar ways. We know that the guy with hooves and a bulging head with horns is corrupted because they're classic disfigurements. So they do have a worthy place, even if mechanically they're a little dull.PseudoFentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054154200055912286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-69307101430195783352012-07-12T14:28:49.780+02:002012-07-12T14:28:49.780+02:00If I could make a suggestion re: corruption - it s...If I could make a suggestion re: corruption - it seems to me that in ADOM there are two sorts of corruption - boring ones that drain one stat in exchange for an increase in another (horns, hooves, etc.), and corruptions that actually change the mechanics of the game. (being to see through walls with antenna, spit acid, teleport randomly, drain wands for power, poison things with your hands, scare and anger monsters with an unholy aura, access a hidden dungeon, etc.) The latter are a big part of why I love ADOM so much - they actually make you stop and change how you're playing the game to cope with/exploit that corruption. In other words, they're tactical features. The stat changing corruptions are strategic - they have some impact, but don't really affect the way you play the game at all.<br /><br />So I guess my suggestion (and I realize it takes a lot of time to implement whole new game mechanics) is that you make all of the new corruptions interesting and tactical instead of +x stat -y to hit/damage or whatever.John Copleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556677639695072292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-69784539624971646502012-07-12T14:08:04.800+02:002012-07-12T14:08:04.800+02:00Well creator, I have been putting off the postcard...Well creator, I have been putting off the postcard quest for years. YEARS I tell you!<br /><br />I contributed this morning, because you made an awesome game in spite of the bugs and code oddities. I can't wait to see what you can do if you get the chance to polish it!

There should really be a link to Friday the 13ths and corruptions in the game thanks to this push - there are enough other things linked to the real world date that it shouldn't be too hard.PseudoFentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054154200055912286noreply@blogger.com
