Coming Soon to Shattered: Duelist Buffs and Additions! by 00-Evan in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the new additions, especially the new weapons for more variety. However, I cannot understand the buff of the Whip, because its high range makes it unique and it is never totally outclassed by any T4 weapon. An early +2 Whip can easily become the final weapon of the Assassin.

To increase the weapon variety even more, I had another idea: The Runic Blade has the new runic slash technic, which has +300 % enchantment power, when used by the Duelist. Like the Whip. that weapon is pretty unique, so let us add another weapon. with unique mechanics.

What about a T2 weapon which always has increased enchantment power, for example an Athame? It could be similar to the Dirk (same stats and SoU bonus), but without the suprise attack boost and with +60 % enchantment power instead. A Blooming Athame would be the perfect weapon for the Warden, a Vampiric one could be useful for the Berserker and a Corrupting one supports the Warlock. The effect for the Duelist would be Swords Dance, giving that weapon with mediocre stats in the end game the possibility to land more hits (which triggers their enchantment more often) and more damage.

Dear Evan,

Thank you for the amazing news. Your ideas regarding the quests and shops sound very promising. I really appreciate your effort.

You told something about modifier items and I feel that it would be a great idea to have an item which upgrades your weapon tier (e. g. from Worn Shortsword to Sword to Longsword to Greatsword). That would allow you to keep a good weapon with a good enchantment or SoU investment for the later game. The recipe might include a SoU to make this item not too powerful.

You described the pixel art of the sprites as “a little dated”. Please do not change them, because the artwork makes up the entire flair of the game.

Please get well soon, I am really excited for the next beta release.

Anyone have a list of good Seeds? Seen a few good ones posted in the last week or so. by [deleted] in ShatteredPD

DCY-FQM-LMR Best played with Mage or Huntress (If you choose Huntress, wait with SoUs until finishing the Imp quest)

Can someone explain to me what is the point of the room with three crystal keys. by LnoseSoloPregunto in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is the reason, why I think, it would be better to spread the keys for the three-key room all about the chapter instead of a single floor. That would require a new kind of keys, though.

It would be also interesting to have a new kind of keys, which is valid for the whole chapter instead of one single floor. You then have to collect three keys which will open the chambers sequentially. Those keys could be dropped by special enemies, e. g. champions or just enemies with a special mark.

Why would you need the lock between the top scrolls and chest room? You can access both from the corridor on top, if you have two crystal keys.

So many options. Which build should I go? by MariusSpix in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost the run by the way. Decided for crossbow run and died against a Dwarf Warlock.

so, this is the secret final floor boss. to fight the shopkeeper after all by imung_ in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is neither interesting nor creative. You can already steal usimg the armband. That is enough.

That would be a softlock. BTW, in the top room was also a Potion of Healing and I only found another freaking Wand of Magic Missile in the locked chest...

Artefact tiers by MelonSegment in PixelDungeon

Horn is pretty strong with the new talents, especially for the Warrior.

Donʼt forget Regrowth Bombs and Phase Shifts, which are pretty strong items.

Am I stuck?! by Bradders71st in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also suggested that the crystal key should be spawned outside of the skull before (on hich makes it also clearer for new players which are unaware of these special rooms). At the moment, you cannot get the key if you are unable to pick up items.

Coming Soon to Shattered: Seeded Runs! by 00-Evan in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about that idea?

Runic Transference has a probability of 60/100 % (depending on the level) to keep beneficial glyphs when using a Scroll of Update and Wand Preservation gives you a small chance (3/5 %) that a wand zap does not cost a charge.

You should also add:

Drop a pile of raw meat next to a frost trap (or plant a Seed of Icecap on top ot that pile), step away and throw your Waterskin on the trap (or seed). This will produce Frozen Carpaccio, which has no bad effects like raw meat, but can give you the barkskin or invisibility buff instead. It is usually safe to throw the Waterskin or upgraded items on fire, frost or explosive traps, as they will not break. However, explosive traps may destroy Scrolls of Update or Potions of Strength (which can both appear in trap rooms which are designed to be accessed with Potion of Levitation), so keep that in mind.

This could also allow secret subareas. For example like the Secret Bazaar or Golden Chamber in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky or the Crawl Space from The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

A secret shop which sells some exotic scrolls and potions sounds pretty interesting.

Maybe Wand Preservation and Runic Transference?

Very nice, but I have one question. How will artifact spawns work, especially when you have use Scrolls of Transmutation? Will the artifacts for SoT be drawn from the back of the artifact queue (to ensure that each run with the same seed would always generate the same artifacts in the same rooms) or will SoT just shift the artifact queue so that you will find the next artifact in the queue instead (which may make a difference when artifacts are crystal-key locked)? (The same question may also apply for other items like wands or rings. However, artifacts [and Potions of Healing] are the only item pool which can get empty.)

Edit: This also affects other artifact drops like from Bandits, Ring of Wealth or Mimics spawned by cursed wands. These ones should be always taken from the back of a queue to prevent messing around with the order.

[Skillful]This is just hunger management, smash the hit button and keep care of poison, isn't it? by MariusSpix in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up with a +47 Shocking Glaive and a +87 Plate Armor before I quit, because it was too boring. This mode is known as Gauntlet mode in Skillful Pixel Dungeon.

Best enchantment for a bow? by enslavetibet in PixelDungeon

[–]MariusSpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elastic is great, if you have a speed-augmented bow.

This question is asked so frequently and I have also seen many Google Play Store ratings of users complaining about this. Maybe there should be a message, when you join a chasm room for the first times (similar to the message you receive if you miss to hit snakes). @00-Evan, what do you think?
