Darksight changed a lot. It's funny because for me at least the color outside of my sight range is much brighter than the color inside my sight range which is nearly black except for enemies and items. The stuff outside my view is green, but the stuff inside my view is very dark blue. Maybe this is supposed to be reversed? I think that having multiple levels of the powerups is a good direction to go in. I've thought about games using selected perks like this for leveling, but never realized that it would be cool to have multiple levels of the same basic perk.
I somehow ended up with the almighty "undefinedSplint mail" after using an excellent splint mail for some time. Actually, it was a splint mail that I equipped near the beginning, and I suspect the damage level may have wrapped around or something.
I like the new screen transitions. The game seems slightly harder in this version, or possibly I just had a run of bad luck. I was at 1 strength, took the destroy perk and ended up back at one strength within the same level, so that may have contributed.
I'm sad to see the town go despite it's problems. I know that everyone was confused and complained about it, but it was a good feature conceptually. It was a cool idea to have an area where fellow players could hang out and chat between games. Maybe there is some way to do this in a nonconfusing way. Maybe if it looked like a town with buildings and stairs down? It just seems like a cool idea, and it works well enough in MAngband. There has to be a way to do it.
