Weird that noone started such thread yet 

1.5 hours of playtime so far. FPS is bad, staying at 25-30 for 7 starting dwarfs. I hope it just cause its wine on linux.
Couldn't hoard year+ food on embark, where did all the points go? Rough times ahead.
NO MORE 'Oh we see microcline!' pauses.
All options are exited via ESC instead of space. That is annoying.
Skills are listed by groups now, much easier to handle
z -> Health is scary. So much stuff there.
Descriptions became quite descriptive. And theres no beards on females.

Oh, and, i tried to find how much Z-levels site has. Got bored on -150 level, it is definitely DEEP.

[HexagonalBolts]

Ooooohh I'm excited!

I guess everyone has been asleep?

The website is certainly running slow

Do old graphics packs transfer across to some degree?

I'll give it a try and report back

[Dorten]

Site finder. Where is EVERYTHING!

-162 here, to be exact. Will take some time to dig all way down

Site finder. Where is EVERYTHING!

I believe its due to each site having all the features

Wow, its great. I've noticed a fatal error while messing with the arena, but it ain't that bad. The new creature raws give me a headache.

Anyone find out what the new skills do? They have me puzzled.

Wow, its great. I've noticed a fatal error while messing with the arena, but it ain't that bad.

Do you have GRAPHICS:YES? Arena works in ASCII mode for me only, without graphics.

Current bugs:
- arena mode crashes with GRAPHICS:YES

- there are "wagon wood" items in item selection in arena
- aligators have hair ("his hair is black")
- alligators are able to wear armor when you give it to them
- attempt to grab a bodypart with a weapon leads to "you grab *** by *** with your *weapon* but nothing is grabbed
- attempt to "pinch" various bodyparts shows "you adjust you grip on***" and nothing else. Mybe my skill is too low.
- amphibian woman is called "amphibian man" in arena

- batmen have "eye tooth"!
- you can "gouge out" cheecks with hand grabs on head


On a bright side, Hydras are awesome, and megabests are tougher overall. I didn't try to shoot them, but spears are much less lethal (no more "kobolds pierced 2 lungs and a heart of the dragon with his toothpick").
This works for worldgen megabeast too, Look at this hydra:

The caves are a bit weird, maybe it was my bad luck but they were on 1 z level and there were no critters.

Locations like "Underworld" sound really sweet.

Oh, and you can continuously gouge eyes .

This is my first and most lasting impression of the new version (spoilers?):

Deon, try to spoiler things where possible? Also, more bugs:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

* animalmen [soldier_type] can be, e.g., amphibianwoman spearman.
* as you can see from the screenshot, some dwarves can survive huge numbers of wounds (there were two more screens of this).
* one dwarf went to legendary striker and legendary fighter in a couple of seconds whilst fighting a HFS, but only went to dabbling in some other fighting skills.

"Her heart is broken."
Hilarious.

I can't seem to get any graphics to work with the new version, in any way. Even trying breaks DF so bad I have to re-download it.

Have you noticed how much anvils and axes cost now?

[CptFastbreak]

My very first impression: Toady, are you crazy? I've got work to do today!

[Crolis]

I can't seem to get any graphics to work with the new version, in any way. Even trying breaks DF so bad I have to re-download it.

Yeah, I've been messing around with this quite a bit. If I use a .png tileset, I get a black screen on startup. If I enable graphics and just leave the tileset, it starts up and the crashes on worldgen.

[Dante]

Oh, a couple more bugs (SPOILERS) -

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

* A bunch of animalmen turned friendly, not when I re-embarked, but when I started fighting HFS after reclaim, and they joined in.
* There's a bunch of places where the apostrophe gets turned into the little-sigil-for-a-chest.

[Deon]

It's not merged with # versions yet, so you should use BMP.

Also there's a BUG thread where you can post bugs directly to: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.msg1123125;boardseen#new

Deon, try to spoiler things where possible?

The whole thread is marked spoiler. If someone opens a spoiler thread while not wanting to see spoilers... well they deserve to see what they see.

My impressions:

I had a mining 'accident' right away. Got to check out the new hospital system. I swear it was an 'accident' honest!

Miner broke her upper arm, broke her hand, bruised her head and upper body. I designated a hospital zone with a bed and table, gave them some thread and a splint and a bucket. CMD (Chief Medical Dwarf) ran over, cleaned her wounds, sutured them, slapped a splint on her arm and she went back to work using the other hand. I like this, and that you can now feed wounded dwarves alcohol.
