glaciers are harsh
« on: January 17, 2011, 12:16:50 pm »
I read about some guy who slept on a glacier and turned into a demon when they woke up, so I decided to try it out. I didn't manage to turn into a demon but after the first night my fps inexplainably turned to 1. A few minutes late some weird crap happened and the ice next to me suddenly rose up a z-level, now I can't get back to land. anybody know why any of this could be?

EDIT: Some crazy stuff O.o the "hallway" is made of open space...
EDIT2: should I climb down?
EDIT3: I climbed down and instantly started drowning with no way up even though I have adequate swimming :(

I tried to warn you! Seriously though, glaciers just seem to be buggy, enter at your peril.

One time I found this big old ice square (about 20 or 30 urists on each side) in the middle of a glacier. No hallway like in that picture, totally featureless. I don't know how tall it was, though, because at that time I hadn't learned yet that you can go up and down Z levels when "looking".

I tried sleeping but I just woke up encased in ice.

I saw one such ice block: it was possibly the size of a travel-map square, was flat just one z-level above the rest of the frozen ocean and had a perfectly straight gap 15-20 levels deep.

Not having anything else to hope for, my adventure jumped into that gap and instantly die.

As far as we can tell, going to sleep on a glacier is required to get the body-swapping which happens every time you go to sleep.
