Hi, Gheynugget! Welcome, and thanks for joining NetHackWiki!

You need to include an edit summary
That abuse filter you're hitting? It doesn't allow you to edit unless you provide an edit summary.--Ray Chason (talk) 20:49, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Also, it'd be nice if we could stop pretending the game isn't still difficult in about 100 other ways, including sudden and hard-to-escape deaths from <Monster> With The Wand of <Insert Damage Type Here>. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 20:59, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
I'll spare whomever the janitorial work of me trying to make a forum post, sorry about that. I just feel like the legitimacy of approaching ascension is reducing at the area of my game knowledge; it's self gratification: triumphant progress and improvement rather than being pushed further along by patches on hardfought, and feeling that further-along has been given without an increase in skill/knowing. If the early game is experiencing difficulty nerf, I have to suspect it is for repeat ascenders who feel cheated for landing in a trap that they had no vector of gearing or worked-for intrinsics to address it -- no lack of wisdom or patience could've been made over the course of a game and so it feels cheap to them --, yet the early game is the entire realm of my experience and enjoyment of the game. Placing my vote in that box and I will otherwise try to keep my head low.... TLDR: Is it a development goal to keep ascension streaks to a similar probability as it has been historically in terms of difficulty? I'll leave it there. --Gheynugget (talk) 11:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
