Good day.

Have most people had a chance to run a dungeon or two yet? I would like to hear about the experiences that everyone has had so far. I am probably not the only one, either.

The keywords used seem to have a rather esoteric or oblique link to the resulting generated area, for one thing.

@Mithrun1 | OBSERVATION NOTES: FREEDOM

[tablescraps]

Keywords: △ Dawning Sunshine's Freedom
Participants: Oriade, Akatsuki, Mithrun1, L3V147H4N
Locale: Grassy meadow
Architecture: Forest dungeon
Monsters: Goblins, Red Wyrms, Flame Heads
Notable Events: Encountered an empty chest which then caused our armor to explode, leaving us nude. Utilizing armor skins, or attempting to equip alternate pieces of armor, did not cover us.
Drops: N/A

It is unclear why the "unknown" user recommended users attempt this keyword in the last position. Lack of armor is ultimately a debuff. It may have been amusing to the user. I would not recommend running the keyword "Freedom" in the last position; unequipping your armor is quicker and easier.

DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW

[tablescraps]

Why?

[trashtier]

Because I didn't want anyone knowing the state my avatar is in?????????

Why did you think this was okay

[tablescraps]

• Users have genitalia et al. censored by default. For most users, there is nothing to look at.
• You control the appearance of your avatar. Your avatar's nude appearance should also appeal to you (presumably) or render you indifferent (as it is digital).
• Even knowing you encountered this bane, users cannot currently see your avatar, especially if you're not currently logged in, or you are not in a publicly visible area.
• You looked fine.

lets just say that feelings arent logical
why is why youre probably going to get yelled at some more

[ He doesn't want to imagine the look on Akatsuki's face........ ]

[trashtier]

>:(((((

[That's him confirming that Mithrun is indeed going to get yelled at more.]

[trashtier]

• I still have no clothes even WITH censorship.
• That doesn't mean I wanna show off like a nudist!!!
• HOW AM I GONNA PLAY THE GAME IF I CAN'T GO TO THE PUBLIC AREAS??? PEOPLE *WILL* SEE ME THEN
• I logged off immediately in a panic, how did I look fine to you?!

[I am so sorry Mithrun.]

[Well that explains a lot.]

Was it all of your armor? Even what was in your inventory?

[tablescraps]

Yes, all of our armor. No, not the armor in our inventory. But if I tried to equip the armor in my inventory, it would then explode.

Unfortunately, I couldn't really ask the others to test it. Some of them instantly quit the instance.

[gluttoning]

I mean, not everybody wants to be seen naked, even in a video game. I wonder if it's better that they didn't test the rest of their armor.

Can you still turn pain sensors off like this?

[tablescraps]

I'm still able to toggle it on and off, yes. Why?

[gluttoning]

If we can't put armor on your characters right now without it getting destroyed, you guys are going to be uncomfortable, right?

Maybe you can turn off the pain sensors until someone can find a fix.

[He's just going to do everyone he knows in that list a favour and pretend he didn't see their names or their responses to this. He's glad he didn't go with that word]

1. Was it possible to just not open the chest?
2. What about the skins from the opening of the game? Can you still equip them?

[tablescraps]

1. I believe so. It looked like any other chest, though, so you'd be forfeiting the chance to find other items or gear if you don't open any chests to avoid it. I think avoiding the keyword all together is more productive.
2. No. I've attempted, but the skin fails to equip. I currently remain nude.

[insinning]

[!!!! these poor people. At least they're not exposing themselves in town?]

It sounds like it. So not every dungeon keyword gives blessings. Some are just curses.



...that's pretty weird.

[tablescraps]

I guess it adds variety to the runs, so I don't dislike the concept inherently. Games provide challenge, and a chance of banes provides that.

Though, I think this one was just a private joke of a developer. Leaving armor equipped, but temporarily rendering its stats 0, would've accomplished the same thing as physically removing our armor.

I think the nudity was the point.

[insinning]

So they just like nudity? I think some kind of warning before they encouraged people to go down there would have been good.

[worldbent]

That's a pretty good gag, for a beta at least. Well done, devs!

[tablescraps]

I wonder if the one who suggested the keyword was another player, or a developer themself...

[worldbent]

It was under the mod account, right? It's possible that it was hacked, but I think we would have heard about it if that was the case. Maybe a disgruntled employee, then.

Maybe our dear admin has already had enough of us. What a shame...

[tablescraps]

He does seem rather short-tempered. I wouldn't normally recommend a user-facing job to someone who dislikes working with people.

[worldbent]

You know, I was thinking the same thing! And their job has only just begun. Perhaps they haven't hired a proper customer service person for the game yet and have some poor programmer doing the job.
