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.

Yeah. Ran one already with a group of four. I posted about a weird equipment drop I got a few days ago, but we figured it out. Sort of.

We got maid outfits at the end. It's just for show, not equipment. Still takes an inventory slot, though.

one of my area words was "slacker"
i didnt feel like doing anything in the latter half of the dungeon
my party was the same too
it was so weird..........

[ Only because having nothing to do would make him absolutely agitated. ]

[horologia]

I remember seeing that. You said the exploration was in the tundra area?

If I may, what keywords ended up getting you there? I ask because my party ended up in a volcanic area using "Hidden Advice's Night Moon".

[ which, you know, none of that sounds very volcano-y, but maybe with more data they can figure out the link if any. ]

I've been curious about this too. We have to put three in, so what they generate has to be split into threes.

What'd you get from what keywords that was so oblique?

1/2

Sugared Hamsteak Everyday

/2

[gluttoning]

No never mind, I'm kidding.

Submissive Heretic's Evergreen.

[horologia]

Hidden Advice's Night Moon results in a volcanic area with a tower dungeon.

This came after a discussion about how our group rather would try to avoid the warmer areas to start with, so I became curious.

[horologia]

...That seems very on the nose.

So the keywords used can also result in a group debuff that is in effect for the duration of the dungeon, more or less?

[horologia]

And you got a maid outfit out of this.

[ how does this follow. is........ is it the submissive part??? ]

I would suggest that perhaps "Sugared Hamsteak Everyday" might net you unique foods or consumables as a reward, but maybe it would simply get you something like having to fight through a variety of poisonous enemies instead.

[dissimulative]

not the whole duration
maybe foreshadowing?
though i dont think thats the case for all of them

[horologia]

Yes, it isn't all of them, at least. I didn't experience anything like that in mine, after all.

Did it linger after you left, or did it clear when you finished the exploration?

Don't give him ideas. -_-

[dissimulative]

well
uh



we couldnt leave until we felt like it
we just lazed around for an hour for some reason??
so we couldnt leave the dungeon until we felt motivated enough to leave

[gluttoning]

I'd take the risk if it meant more of that cake we had at the banquet. I'll try it and let people know what I find.

Yeah, we got a maid outfit. Snow and rocks everywhere, and the dungeon we were in felt like we were in the walls of a castle somewhere.

[horologia]

I preemptively apologize for any runs through a Sugared Hamsteak Everyday that you may be subjected to in the future.

[horologia]

Was it one of the more comfortable areas, at least?

[trashtier]

Whether I forgive you or not depends on how it goes because now he's actually gonna do it.

[dissimulative]

its a murky forest
it was kinda gross actually
i think it's also bc
ectoplasms??? were everywhere
so like
you have this massive goo with heads in the forest

[horologia]

[ maybe this is the kind of player an ingame cooking mechanic would be for... ]

By all means, please do.

[ with preemptive apologies to levi, do it for science, barrett! ]

Though I imagine there must be easier ways of obtaining decent food in this game, somehow.

[horologia]

Was that the dark element area? Ectoplasm is something related to ghosts, isn't it?

But duly noted. I shall avoid using 'slacker' as one of the keywords in the future, just in case.

Spending an extra hour or two in volcanic heat does not sound particularly enjoyable.

[horologia]

[ oops. ]

Perhaps you'll be lucky and one of the keywords might end up being invalid?

[gluttoning]

I can do it by myself if you don't want to come.

But I'd like it a lot if you came with.

Snacks are better together.

:-)

[dissimulative]

at that point you should just turn off your pain sensors
excessive heat counts as pain
right??
other than that
apart from the usual loot
there wasnt anything special either
since it looks like some people got something extra

[trashtier]

Eh. That'd be worse, I think. He'd be disappointed.

[ophidie]

Okay. That is obtuse.

Let's put the volcano aside for now, unless you'd like to speculate that the game's aware of your thoughts and desires. "Hidden" or, less likely, "Advice" might correlate with the tower layout.
