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.

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]

...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?

[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?

[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

[horologia]

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

[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]

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.

[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

[horologia]

On the other hand, maybe the heat might be enough motivation to leave sooner.

Truly a conundrum.

Dungeon drops are typically RNG, but it does seem a little unfortunate that your group got lazy while another received a costume skin.

[dissimulative]

alas!
maybe ill just get something better next time
i dont think i would want a maid costume anyway............

[horologia]

Maybe you'll find a mount, so that the next time you all are suddenly beset by laziness the mounts can carry you out of the area?

[dissimulative]

that could work
if mounts dont get affected by it too
then im just doomed forever if i end up there again

it looks like youre collecting data
so heres mine in full

Keywords: Starting/Past’s/Slacker
Locale: murky forest
Architecture: forest
Monsters: goblins, headhunters, ectoplasm
Notable Events: more treasure but one of them made us feel lazy and not want to do anything for a good hour and we couldnt leave bc of that
Drops: 2 weapons, 2 armor pieces
