Nightmare! difficulty not Accessible to slow players
Lord Typh:
There's being reasonably hard and then there's just being rude.
At the very least, you should be able to pause the game and take a break for a while without having to leave it running.

Are you sure? This difficulty level isn't even remotely fair! [y/n]
And you're complaining about the continual handicapping of fair players?

That, I guess, is Nightmare! for you.

Ahh, this can of worms again.

It's funny because roguelikes allow saving. Even the original Rogue.
thelaptop:
Why debate something that is already stated outright to be uncompromisable?
If you can't "beast" N! within 2 hours, perhaps your skill in the game hasn't reached that level. In that case, play at a level that you are comfortable with.
We take feedback seriously here, but when it comes to saving on N!, the official stance is that it is not going to be supported, and that the decision there is uncompromisable.
Tormuse:
I just had a thought... (Sorry thelaptop, I know you would prefer this discussion not continue) Since this version of the game connects to a server, (for downloading mods) how hard would it be to have the game upload Nightmare saves to the server? That way, the devteam can control and monitor the saved games, prevent save-scumming and any other form of cheating, and then the save feature would truly just be used for taking a break so you can come back to the game later. I know you said there won't be compromises, thelaptop, but I think that could be a good compromise.
