0.99g8 solvable? stairs bug?
Friedrich Linneweber
Hi!
I've closed the chaos gate by pulling the levers
as in the earlier versions and got a message that
I had completed my quest, but when I tried to leave
the stairs in level 48 didn't turn around anymore
as they did in the earlier adoms. Is there a bug in 99g8?
I've noticed that I got the (after winning) if I quitted
on level 50, but as soon as I moved up, the (after winning)
was gone.

This is your problem. Welcome to g8. }:)
>I had completed my quest,
Did the message say "you *seem* to have completed..."? (Emphasis mine)
>Is there a bug in 99g8?
No bug. This is intentional.

Another veteran 'port-and-pull artist gets burned by Thomas'
realization that the Balors, Greater Balor, and Chaos Wizards would just pull
the levers in the other direction once the inconvenient hero leaves,
experienceing only a slight delay in their plan. You gotta kill these guys,
and that usually means you have to clean out the whole place. Good luck.

Before you left level 50, ADOM issued a beeping sound and an important
message you obviously missed :-)
BTW, I'm surprised that so many people miss it. You need to
explicitly get past the (more) key, the game beeps, etc. This really
should be obvious enough :-}

My ADOM has /never/ beeped when I leave level 50 without killing all the
Balors and stuff. Believe me, I hear the beeps when ADOM beeps. I
still have a near-coronary every time I gain a class skill 'cuz for a
split second I think I've been killed.

Thomas,
I wonder if it is, though, since so many folks do seem to miss it. (Obvious, I
mean.) Seems like I've seen this same question a lot since the change in the
end game... Maybe the, um, information could somehow precede the -more-
prompt?
Now the other thing I've noticed is that it's mostly _veteran_ players that
miss it and then promptly report a bug. Have you noticed the same thing? Could
be that no new players have gotten to this point, yet, but it could also be
that vets are so used to the way things were that they don't bother reading
all their messages anymore. A bad habit that I know I've fallen into...

This seems the most asked question regarding gamma 8... just kill all
the critters
on level 50, part of them can turn the levers back.
