[_] [G] IdleQuest ladder version 1.9 OP !8nHncBHSeM 09/23/10(Thu)11:00 No.1380141
NEW & IMPROVED
New features:
- Actually tells you what version it is
- Individual enemies
- Class titles your character earns at level up
- Hardcore mode: When you die, you die. No second chances.
Marked for deletion (old).

Ultimate nerf for glass cannon kill fast, die fast characters like fireball wizards unless they
know what they are doing. Ultimate buff for too hard to kill characters.
Also, in exchange for accepting his mortality, your character now gets 10x exp from enemies.

If that rare monster killing quest bug isn't fixed, this game is going to be impossible. When you
finally complete a rare monster quest you are jumped forward like 8 locations and the monsters
there are _guaranteed_ to kill you.
I still think OP should put the code in some open code repository so he can release updates
incrementally and also so all the forks will be in the same location. Not to mention people could
collaborate so game imbalances aren't introduced as easily.

heres an idea:
when you make the character (before you start), configure its personality. like what he should
prioritize etc in magic/items... might not be worth the trouble of programming though

You can actually currently do this with rerolling. It's fairly successful with characters that
get spells slowly, less so with characters that get spells fast.
It's called "spell focus" in ladder circles and determines what your character will focus on. At
the extreme ends of the spectrum, a rogue's focus is always the first spell he gets while a
wizard may focus on anything despite the spells he has at start.

Reviving your character:
As soon as you die, REFRESH - you must before the "You are dead" screen.
Run a copy of a non-hardcore idlequest locally
Copy & paste your save file there
Watch as your character gets revived
Copy & paste your save file back into the ladder

Another protip: in this twisted game, the slower you progress, the better. The more time you have
to stock up on equipment, the better. Because it helps you to not die. Hence bards that get high
discounts and Sixth Sense are actually pretty solid.

Spoilers from the source:
The best weapon in the game is a magic sniper rifle/grenade combo.
For melee fighters, it's a mana sword/dragon combo.
The last three zones in the game are Planet XYZ, The Silver Gazebo and The End.
The most dangerous foe in the game is an Egyptian God, Efreet, Frostbite or Alien Queen.
The most valuable item in the game is Last Item in the Game, with +Infinity Sword and Googolplex
Dollar Bill close.
The Castle is about halfway through the game.
Magical enemies have their health increased by a multiplier of 8 (!!!!!!!!!) and you can end up
facing a force of 22 of these at once near the end.
Good luck.

Not really saying much considering bards have been considered to be a troll tier class and the
only class worse than the paladin for a long while. Should have compared to rogue or wizard.

There would seem to be 10x8x2=160 class-race-sex combinations. But considering spell focus is a
hidden factor you can't choose and there are maybe 10 spells in the game, that actually becomes
around 1600 and you have nothing but your common sense to navigate that with unless you want to
run 1600 windows.
So it actually is a game of skill of sorts.
