My MO in Rogue difficulty is to get Knightly Leap ASAP and then abuse traps by making enemies stomp on them.  That lockdown ability the stealing skilltree gives is pretty awesome for that too - lockdown'd a genie questboss on floor 1 in front of a gargoyle trap and then just walked back and forth on the pressure plate.  ...He got loose, but I managed to do it again and kill him anyway.  That character had basically no direct offensive ability, either - crossbow chara, but ran out of bolts.

Batties are my nemeses in those sorts of runs... they're pretty tanky, and can't step on traps.

Hmm, seems that 1.0.5 didn't add mod support. Otherwise, it's a great patch.

Yeah I just played it for a few hours, the extra stats for warriors (due to bugfixing) makes a huge difference. My dual-wielding master of arms has 100 hp, during leveling I had double the health of my old warrior characters. MUCH more enjoyable now. I also noticed even amateur tinkers make a decent number of bolts; if you find some tinker's goggles to get level 1 tinkering, 1 copper ingot makes 9 copper bolts.

I really have to give this another go, I got distracted by higher budget titles. The release version was super fun, but every patch seems to fix a slew of problems. And also, every changelog is entertaining to read.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- NERF: The Obvious Fireball has been Nerfed more obviously than the last un-obvious Nerf.

I am sensing a running gag here.

- NERF: Alchemy, in various small, cruel ways.

Oh nooos D: Alchemy was the shit.

- Added a new minimap interface, and some minimap icons for Lutefisk Shrines, quest statues, Anvils, etc.

YES.

- Added "DIGEST" button for automatic digestion of foods.

I don't know what this does but I approve anyway.

- GAMEPLAY: Black Pearls can now be ground into chalk. Interestingly, this is not a flight of fancy but is based on Science.

- GAMEPLAY: Robots now do electrical damage. Because, you know, they're robots.

- Added some more rooms of Fun.

I've been busy bashing things with a proper warrior, but from what I've heard the alchemy changes were mostly about preventing people from making a fruitful staff, then taking the fruit it made and making hundreds of booze from it and having permanent max mana regen. You can still make a lot of booze, just not that close to infinite.

New patch purged the contents of my Lutefisk Cube 
Well at least I have a lot of piercing resistance now.

And the new Brax sprite is awesome

[Darkmere]

For what it's worth, probably best to avoid the Digest button. It lights up when you have the food buff, clicking it auto-skips turns until the food buff wears off. BUT, it won't cancel if you get attacked. Ate a deep omelet on floor 7 and a golem wandered in from the fog of war and punched me to death over 30 turns or so. Oh well. Time to try a mage.

Maybe it was just the named one I fought in the level 2 zoo, but holy hell, Unfriendly AIs are tough now. The thing only took 1-2 damage from each hit of my slinky flail. Does this mean pure melee characters are almost completely nonviable now? I hope I find a Zodiacal wand somewhere around here... or any wand before level 3, even.

Edit: Yeah, it was just that one with the absurd physical resists. Whew.

[Astral]

I've been having fun slowly going through the first and second level so far; haven't died yet but had a close call when I opened up a room full of fun. Thirty minutes, lots of food items, and countless numbers of satanic teleporter abuse later, I managed to clear the second floor.

I've been having a lot of fun with this game.  Bought it a week ago, and never even realized it was patched!  Last night I was kicking as (dual wielding axe warrior).  I used to die a lot but is my new found awesomeness a result of the patch or am I just finally getting strong enough to stay afloat?

[3]

The patch seems to have made the early game a lot easier, unless I've just been getting ridiculously lucky. That might be due to things that weren't working properly getting fixed (such as dual wielding bonuses).

I just had a moment of fridge brilliance. Take a look at the carrot enemies' attack animation.

I find Thurstys attack animation slightly disturbing.

I find Thurstys attack animation slightly disturbing.

That's the point, I imagine.

[Mindmaker]

Also I can craft a 'Fine Steel Sword' or a 'Blue Steel Sword'.
The fine one is better and can be upgraded, but the blue one is worth more. Is the information regarding the stats incorrect?

[3]

The stats are always correct, but the ten-star rating isn't (it seems to be manually set for one thing and also seems to take price/rarity into account). There's nothing special about the blue steel sword; it's only useful if you're short on steel to make a fine sword with.
