--- Quote from: Thomas on January 15, 2010, 10:55 ---A wizard mode might work, but it should be more of a traditional wizard mode. i.e
Can only be done on HNTR or ITYTD
Game isn't recorded in any form (perhaps even no mortem) and doesn't increase any of the tallies on the player screen.
The only benefit is every time you die the game goes "Whoops, that was silly of you. Do you want to increase your current HP by 50? [Y/N]"
This'd give new players a chance to see lategame and allow them to keep track of every time they do something fatally wrong.

Now a wizard mode, I can get behind. Come to think of it, it would also allow the everyone to experiment with their stratgies and see what works.

...You're always just going to be so vitrolic on this subject, aren't you? I guess people start to get pissy after a while, because no one will tell them how to pick up the DS.
NOTE: I say this, not becuase I'm being an elitist jerk (that's Thomas's job), but because it's true. I was starting to get mad, but I didn't say anything, and then I found the method, so...it does get annoying, espcially since it's so damn rare.

It's not so much the fact that it's a secret so much as that there's so much secret-handshake smuggery about it on this forum between the people who DO know how to pick it up.
It's practically irrelevant anyway considering it's as rare as a virgin in Essex, especially considering you have to have the right traits/name/phase of the moon/whatever esoteric anime bullshit when it DOES deign to spawn.

...Yeah, okay. I'll admit, I had a phase where I was a smug bastard about it. I've cooled down since, although it still shows up sometimes.
ParaSait:
Augh, what silly idea do we get now, a wizard mode? >.<
Wouldn't that potentionally spoil like all things you can discover as a n00b? o.O
For example, the first time I got to dlvl25 I was really excited and even a little scared (as I had no idea what was gonna happen). If there would be a wizard mode, new players are able to know what to expect without even trying. Also, think of reaching special levels and so on.
I really don't wanna be the stubborn negativist here, but no. Bad idea.

Hmm...true, so maybe it can be an unlockable, like the challenge modes.
