#terrible ideas

the warrior identifies pohs instantly and can use the first sou on armor immediately
yes
warrior has the simplest strategies and thus is easier to learn
but his strategies arent great in high chal runs
Balance champs for post-sewers & sewers. Not just the whole game.
that would both put high chal players through more suffering and make warrior more relevant
Not to mention, his seal only works on armors. What if it worked on wands
make warrior good for high chal runs, and now beginners have nothing
thats a good terrible idea
yeah
pls
Seal boomerang warrior meta
champs sewers is kinda awful
By champs I meant the hero classes :v
Blazing crab
tbf the issue is that warrior woudl still be as awful as before , and everyone else would just be made way worse
lol
challenges aren't fun they're meant for when you think you're addicted to the game so challenges are there to make you hate it in a heartbeat
Projecting gnoll
oh LOL
About warrior, I've barely seen warrior being used in difficult TCPD content
waiting for the day allchal tcpd is completed
and I have no idea how that can be fixed
udo know its legit impossible right
lol
any other class have utilities to avoid dmg
Terrible idea: add a t2 talent for warrior which passively increases his attack range once every 10 turns or so
while warrior is a warrior
for ur mod's case, honestly u can only rly rework warrior entirely
the issue with ur mod is that its centered all around its increased difficulty
to teh point of ridiculousness
so warrior's nature as a simpel straightforward class kinda... doesnt... work for it

not in teh way it does for shattered
Well, I plan on adding "challenge sets", ka batches of preset challenges
oo
imagine if allchal gave you a starting boost to make it possible
get rid of the 0-150 hp range, use a hearts system like minecraft
aka class-specific challenge
If warrior had a way to block damage without armors he would do fine
No more Armor dump
but his gimmick is investing into armor
this is "fuck warrior", not "expert warrior playtrough"
warrior is an armor focused character and armor in pd is lame
tier 2 food ability
its a good start for making armor more BASED
Hm?
wow! 2 extra high roll scaling
May I get more details?
theres light and heavy and cloth armors
That's for one turn and you can't even do anything
uniqueness through the roof
Imagine it lasted multiple turns
Challenge idea:
Ranged nerf: Enemies receive damage from ranged attacks over time, as if they had viscosity +2. Receiving ranged damage gives half a turn of haste to the affected enemy, ally or self.
cloth armors are for glass cannon runs
they icnrease specific stats with their upgrade level
but provide very little protection
and are super light
I like this
light armors provide less protectionb ut require less str and also give less str penalties
as theres penalties for wearing heavier things in yapd (even if u meet or exceed the str req)
Nerfs both player and enemy ranged options
the penatlies decrease some stats
you should be able to make armor out of anything
heavy armors decrease these stats further but are more protective
armor made of armor
armor made of enemy corpse
Equip 5 layers of cloth for better protection and -50% attack speed
lmao
gnoll: "i hit you for 25 hp"
cleric: "uh i really really believe that you didn't"
This is WH40k Orc logic
yog: "YOUR. HOPE. IS. AN. ILLUSION."
cleric: "Or is it? [vsauce starts]"
they believe really hard that their cars are fast and crude axes can break high-tech armor
and it works
Idea:
Warrior's seal is his natural Armor (much like rogue's cloak is a natural artifact)
Seal can be upgraded
Nd gets strength and block through higher character level
Also blocks damage based on HP, so it isn't as affected by fima
armor is just numbers there's less gameplay to it than sudoku
warrior is boring by definition
Idea: add shoulder pads, belts and boots and pants
it's a tradition for #1013833905582899310 to go "i can fix him!" over warrior
Me when +10 corrosion wand
meanwhile evan is like "okay so surely THIS new challenge will make him unplayable"
Warlock is a very unique class i guess
Lots of differing playstyles
Very dynamic
bm better :troll:
but thats the point of the bm
There should be an Archmage class
Solely casts spells
No combat
The true mage experience
OBJECTION
He eats the staff after he gets subclass talent
For archmage powers
I believe sniper and gladiator have the most variety out of subclasses
I posted the Ranged nerf idea as a new post
ah sniper variety
have you seen the document?
Sniper is Just dumping a thrown weapon/ring of sharpshooting though no?
the enchantment list?
yes
Enchantment is a psyop made my sniper propagandists
enchantments work on all weapons
Gladiator though, many people have gone ham over his comboes
Guess i can't say anything about that
gladiator is fine
glad good
Ratmogrify warrior best
sniper is just huntress but with armor piercing and those 3 bow variants that are hardly any different from each other
but only sniper can use them on other weapons
Now thats just a rly silly statement
I miss the time when warden could just stand over grass and be as tanky as a warrior
At least for shatter3d standards
How to play sniper:
-Get grim enchantment
-doesnt matter what speed you augment anymore
-kill
=)
Kinetic damage sniper is interesting but who wants that when you can just use blazing
if you think about it, only 1-2 thrown weapons behave differently
dmg bow no one uses because it's slow an weird
Fire fire firr
that's because there is a spectrum
from usability by itself to reliance on specials
There's shuriken and boomerang. Everything else is a reskin of rocc and knife
force cube
Rocc that explodes
U van say the same bout warrior and warlock
even though you get those like once in 50 games
seriously what's up with high tier throwable rarity
Truth be told i wish throwavkes were more interesting
Yeah, but they don't have """fancy""" talent that requires you to throw a ranged weapon to activate the 'combo™'
speed bow doesn't need anything and can be just shot to grievance of your enemies
Bombs that have a chance to light up in your backpack if you get burned/fall down a chasm/step on a trap
damage bow's power is in sniper shot
Speed bkw is great for ench spam
Unaugmented if u got enuff throwavled to sustain it and u get the best of both worlds
Dmg bow for bcoming glad junior
sniper shot more like sniper sh
that's mean
Oh yeah, but they are honest.
Sniper does that from a range and has their combo moves that ultimate don't matter if you have a grim bow
arp decrease in fire rate
Whether it be power shot or flurry
it doesn't matter when enemies just perish from said shot
Triple opportunities to trigger grim and much hogher chance of triggering grim dont matter
That don't matter on augment speed*
Yes I'm specifically talking about grim
like it just reminds of old rogues which thought than making player suffer for no reason was funny
remove all classes from the game because they all SUCK
Playable monsters
warrior - stupid
rogue - lame
mage - boring
huntress - tryhard bait
no more heroes
Turn PD into a side scroller
pixel dungeon community peaked at jumpy rat
No nothing = something 11!1!1!1
This tbh
jumpy rat is the true pd game with no flaws
I will not be able to implement this in shutter pd unfortunately
it is boring, has no leaderboard, the UI sucks, there is only one setting
The old plateau. Reminds me of dota 2. Many people have retired. New joiners quickly lose interest and stop playing .
All that remains are nostalgic people and those that hold onto it for sentimental value (and ofc tryharders)
Maybe I'm wrong
What a rival game to pd mods
What's the league of legends of pd
Gets way more attention even though we are clearly superior
(that was a joke i'm not being a "things were better back then!!" grandpa)
I am gonna send a
A pipe bomb to ur house 😃
no such thing on mobile platforms, as far as I know
Flying gorilla
Actually any cash grab game made by a big company could count
that's not a roguelike
Ik it's a joke
if anything pd is only rising in popularity even if slowly
touhou PD was pretty popular in a community entirely separated from this one
Maybe the turn per turn type of gameplay isn't palatable to some folks
And also, there's a lotta forks if you consider pd as a whole
is that a bad thing?
Many default to shpd alone
Absolutely not
Different strokes for different folks
that's because it is most popular mod
QK once made a document discussing how most of mods do not invest into marketing and therefore dive into obscurity
Yeah. And many people discover new mods through shpd i suppose
So it's a filtered process
And maybe it just feels too same-ish for outsiders if they are not deeply invested in all the niches of pd
And can't distinguish the specialties of one from the other
the concept of an open source program with many abandoned forks isn't unique to PD
linux is the most obvious example
of course everyone knows ubuntu or at least heard of it
Counter strike community servers
you can sell absolutely anything
just look into hollywood
Yes, but i meant for pixel dungeon, for newcomers, any other non-shpd mod would just feel like a "slightly changed" version and won't stick around to play new mods, or even find time for shpd if there's more games that take their attention on top of all that.
And visually, they aren't drastically different, bar the 1.5D nature of shattered forks or the original style, and a few sprite changes here and there
I don't really know about you
but I have been told in older days than my mods are incredibly popular in China
despite being a buggy mess imho
china worshippin the rat king
Ah i didn't know that
What number would you say is "popular"
10k concurrent players?
Remixed is popular in the russian community iirc
for pd 100 consistent players is already a lot
Considering 20 million or more players log into mobile games everyday
And there's millions of games
Some big names claim 90% of those
And it doesn't Mean people don't switch games in one day
I guess even then 1000 is huge
It's hard to tell for single players games i guess
pd forks may have millions of downloads but most installs end up never played or deleted after the player dies to a rat twice in a row
gotcha, found it
- doesn't read what the tutorial notes tell them
- doens't understand what going on
- gets upset
Noice
Is it still the case nowadays
That's why I want to put three potion of healing from start on my THPD, and its remake version, preventing early-death.
I think SPD needs tutorial dungeon aside. Some newb doesn't read the messages well.
It's the new player mentality.
"I don't care for the tips imma do my own thing and learn"
And most likely asks about tm a thing explained in the tutorial tips
according to my statistics
Summoning PD has been declining over past month
but monthly users is above 4000 or something
How do you account for people who play without internet access
What's the acceptable error
I don't know, but GP Console shows a decline
Do you have statistics for arknights PD, too?
Chess PD
I guess arknight PD has popularity in china bcuz arknight itself is a chinese game
It's just normal chess. Except you can have classes
I remember chesscraft being a very new and unique "chess sandbox"
You could make your own boards and pieces
And with better skills, unique mechanics even
It's a wonder how no one has developed a similar app sooner
Chess, but all your army has gone over to the white side, leaving you with nothing but your royal shotgun and your wounded pride. Carried by your dark folly, you decide it's time to teach those white pieces to fear the Shotgun King.

shotguns? It's better to throw rocks, does three times more damage
This won a game jam
Chess style mods are not done well most times just a different variant and not original
This way very original
Different piece use/new borders/dealing with move order isn't original is what I mean
And chess is so balanced and iconic it's hard to tweak to make it feel fresh and balanced
And made in a way that a non-chess player could enjoy/seasoned veterans could find a new way to play or look at the game

whats the issue
So you can check people through time (aka, your king was there in this position before so I can check it)
Chess but 3x nerdier
You may need 3, even 4 braincells
but its barely actual chess
meant to reply to this-
Oh I was talking about 5D chess
and the issue is?
Not shotgun king
my bad
hi
what did i just read
war
an entire debate about kiting zerker and jumpy rat
anways time for a high effort idea
potion/scroll side effects
the first obvious one is that thowing pots affects bleed
Yapd called
becaus glas
ik YAPD did like everything already
like being a good mod 
anways scrolls should be hard to read for the first time
and every time after that the cast time gets smaller
after like 5 uses you read it in 1 turn
scroll of tp and more importantly passage inflict blind and vertigo
scroll of psionic blast shreds your armor, degrading it by 75% for x turns
mirror image now moves like you
instead of being an independant lil guy
sirens song plays the charm.mp3 sound over every action for the next 10 minutes
when you are fighting yog with 4 spawner his theme must be what they fear is you from doom
remove hunger
ngl dcss legit did that. Pretty based
id like if different types of meat had different effects
like sweted meat giving more satiety than carpaccios !! !
would make them useful
Yapd moment
Unshatter pixel dungeon
Restructured Pixel Dungeon
If you unshatter the pixel dungeon, does it just become vanilla
Mfw nust nerfs warrior
Just
glances at my sniper and berserker run that obliterated Doomslayer Yog
Nah, the theme is definitelly for you if you got constant high damage stuff and can kill the fists and minions fast before they overwhelm you
or just do the DK™️ strat but better by warden and uprooting the entire arena to do a vietnam reenactment
just the soiled and burning fists were

excuse me, this is terrible ideas no good ideas
there should be a thread named smth like "The Pit Of Sheol" that has little to no rules
not suitable for sane people
terrible idea
finally i respected the thread's purpose
😆
white phosphorous
PD2: the hero finally touches grass and the final boss is the government
Lmao
You can prick enemies with the chalice for (chalice level^2)x3 damage. If they survive, the chalice levels up
Crazy thief has a knife that stab you which causes bleeding for 75% of health
Yes more prison enemy buffs 
Flare gun
Make the tengu fight skippable if you have a bomb/stone of blast/disnt. wand/blast wave wand
The bricks are weak
So blow them away and go into cave
you can use the troll pickaxe to dig a tunnel straight to yog
runs after the first have the dungeon already cleared of any loot, you have to go back to the hero remains to pick up their entire inventory
(or whats left of it if you take too long)
if youre levitating, you can only move around via chains
Nah this fits here perfectly
Terrible idea:
If you use last Ethereal Chains' charge the artifact will dissapear because it's literally in description
finally real terrible ideas
new idea: if u have any form of haste effect, u run teh risk of spilling theblood from teh chalice
higher chance the fuller the chalice is, since u are running rly fast
spilling resets the chalice's lvl to 0, the chance is applied every tile u move with more than 100% movement speed
if you move at a high speed with chalice equipped past the shopkeeper or wandmaker they say "ewwwwww" and leave
The boots of nature lower ur speed bcuz they are made ou5 of bark do it feeks rly rough on ur feet
Perma crippled
If you fall off a chasm all of your potions and your hourglass break
and your bombs explode
that was already suggested
If you get I the range of explosion in a bomb you get killed
And your ankhs explode
So you just die
No way to save yourself
Ankhs dont work for the cleric bcuz he doesnt believe in egyptian gods
Neither do they work on mage bcuz atheist vibes
With huntress you can perma charm wandmaker and shopkeepers, who give you all of their wands/items, and they work as ghost
(They can equip armor/weapons)
If you have all seeds / potions / exotic potions as Cleric you unlock the ultimate armor ability
Ultimate armor ability : costs 0 charge, turns enemies gay

Petition to add a special unlockable skin for the cleric
Its a spanish inquisition costume from monty python
Can't succubus shapeshift or something?
tell me
when u start a huntress run
and reach demon halls
what do teh succubi look like to u?
thats right, the same women as eveyr otehr character
still. A. Woman
clearly they just know the huntress is lesbian
therefore they cannot charm thosd who are not attracted to them
huntress still charmed, so she must be lesbian
slowly everyone will be kicked
smfh
I mean it isn't a bad id-
who shall be the last I wonder
*gets bannes
may the hunger games 2.0 begin
What if the charm makes the Warrior hallucinate that the Succubus is a hot man
just make the warrior bi smh
i mean what did you expect from #shitposting-2
ni
no
NEW THEORY: the heroes are dwarves
nah
warrior is a very cute gay man simple as that
warlock is gay
Now that you've mentioned it, has been specifically stated that the heros are humans?
why do you want them to be gay so badly-
is- figured it out
everytime you compare this thread to that thing i'm considering getting more and more strict with moderation
the troll shopkeeper in YAPD says that the heroes are humans
Ifrit can you purge the chat !!
😰 yes ?
lol
yes
If you purge the chat, I will purge you

Just purge alone is a terrible Idea
yeah evan accidentally purged the entirety of #casual once
"accidentally"
Big sus
How do you "accidentally" do that? 🤨
by using 0 as the number of messages to purge
Evan did minor trolling
New terrible idea. Real chess.
current depth damage is a joke. on release build, it will change to something
Yay now we have Hopodile energy in PD
Never liked those things, hard to approach in groups and hit for way too much damage at the point you fight their Lv2 version
48 AP on the mid 20F range is rude
"Hard to approach", yes I admit it. so I will reduce this penalty weaker. weak 1~5 damage, irrespective of the floor. or granting weakness only, or any ideas?
I meant them about in S5 but sure
Ah
Uh, how about it starts at 0 and the damage increases by 2.5 each chapter?
So in CH1, no penalty, 2, you take 2 damage, 3, you take 5, and so on
At least they don't leap onto you
lol
Hardly anything more painful than having your escape route cut off when you enter a Monster House with Hopodiles
Also off-topic but yesterday I beat Perilous Rocks "without" dying, the 99F version
The reason I say without in quotations is because I did die once because of a controller misinput
I meant to attack but I moved down. Right into the range of a limit-broken Mixer.
It is more safe to play shiren with keyboard anyway I think, since this game's 1 turn is very important
Even on Switch I rarely misinput
A lot of my deaths are due to player mistake or bad luck (what else am I supposed to do about Horrabbits when the turn order absolutely screws me over?)
yes horrabbits are extremely terrible
Who thought they were even a good idea
"Oh look just because you got unlucky on one turn means now you're surrounded by 3 other enemies, also you can't inflict statuses."
(Because they're often paired with Absorbiphants)
Since shiren enemies are hard to deal with, but...
There is an awesome result.
hold on
How shiren5's story clear rate is higher than SPD's win?
Because Rougelike Vs. Rougelite
Also probably a larger playerbase
Most of the Story doesn't have too many dangerous enemies besides Sky Dragons, MC Wizards, Nashaggas, and of course the two Skywalk Areas.
And of course, Carry-Ins help with a lot of repetition
Whereas PD has no Carry-Ins, has consistently more dangerous enemies, raw progression elements, and 5 bosses, most of which would be tough to someone who hasn't really played that much.
Summarize: it's carry-in vs nothing!
Of course, S5 has two bosses, but I only the first one is really rough
Kill normal enemies first, and just spam the heal pot. so actually the story boss fight is easy.
(Well yeah, most of Shiren's boss fights aren't that bad)
Yeah there are many ways to deal with.
It's just that the two Death Gyazas can be a pain
And the fact that Reeva spawns more of them
Making the fight pretty dang tough without cheese methods
Got invincible grass during the story? you already win. so I'd like to say
Or just play Rocks until you get some.
To all, shiren 5 story is easy. Try play it.
Lol this thread got so offtopic xd
You guys really like that Shiren game
And play beyond that since it's really good.
It's better than fxxking deleting dcss
$20 and it'll last you well over 300 hours
If you stick with it
There's so much strategy behind it, what equipment to use, identification methods, resource management, and much, much more
Not sure if I should take your suggestion seriously
We're still in #1016751363570548789 after all
:I_wish_I_had_kappa:
(I'm just fooling around lol)
But yeah like PD has consistently hard enemies throughout the run whereas S5 doesn't get that tough until around 20-25F
But beyond that S5 easily takes the cake when it comes to enemy threat levels
You all like to complain about things in the Halls sniping you from halfway across the room
But it's not from a place you either can't see or from literally across the floor.
And it's often not damage you're suffering from, statuses are painful
If evan refer shiren enemies when he updates alt. route
Dozikons, Mesmerkons, Ultra Gazers, MC Wizards and Sorcerers, many enemies can seriously injure you from full health or even outright kill you because of their dangerous status effects
Seriously, screw Dozikons, I honestly think they're worse than their Lv4 version
But what could also be worse than dangerous statuses? Losing your items and equips. These of course are major things as well and should be protected as best as you can
Swordman(Yakumo Ran in touhou genso wanderer series)... is a very dangerous enemy.
Curse Girls, Mudkin, Field Knaves (especially higher leveled ones), Swordsmen, Scoopies, Nigiri Morphs, and Gazers are all capable of doing so and often have a much higher range of effectiveness than you can think
Curse Girls curse or seal two random items in your inventory at Lv3 or 4, that's 8% of your entire inventory usually rendered recoverable at best and unusable at worst.
Mudkin can rust your weapons and shields, and high leveled ones can erase your hard-earned Runes, don't give them a chance to act when your equips are still on and they're next to you.
Field Knaves turn items on the ground into Weeds, which are essentially useless. Higher leveled ones have even more dangerous effects, the Lv2 version throws Weeds into your pots, which can ruin important ones such as Synthesis and Fragrance Pots, Lv3 directly parries items in your inventory away with them, which can destroy items, and Lv4 has a chance to directly turn an item in your inventory into Weeds when it's next to you. Including your equipped ones.
Swordsmen parry your equips, Lv1 only does it to your Shield, Lv2 to both your weapon and your shield, Lv3 to all 3 equip types (Bracelets), and Lv4 sends the parried equip to a random tile up to 10 tiles away in any direction. If you have a Cannon Arm effect or it hits an enemy, the parried equip will be lost.
Scoopies throw Dirt into your pots, like Pot Knaves, but it basically ruins nearly any pot that it gets in, unless it's an actively bad one. At least it can be used to get a random Grass item after a few floors.
Nigiri Morphs (Lv2) and Nigiri Kings (Lv4) can turn an item in your inventory into a Large Onigiri. Morphs target anything that's not equipped while Kings target anything.
And Gazers Hypnotize you, causing you to do a completely random thing for the next turn. It could be a random direction attack, throwing any item in your inventory, using any item in your inventory, and more. Ultra Gazers (Lv4) can do it anywhere in the room, causing mayhem if you don't have a Reflection Pot or Anti-Hypno rune.
Least passionate Shiren fan
Yeah that's the joke/meme xd
And I think it deserves a larger audience
Because there's just so much you can do it's ridiculous
You can do some hilarious setups like where you have a Kappa synthesize things by throwing items at a cloned Mixer
Or create the most powerful equipment ever to exist with the New Item system
There's 27 fun postgame dungeons for you to play around in (we don't talk about the other 3 since they aren't as fun)
Shiren 5 also has a huge amount of tutorials. If anyone thinks shiren is complex? Don't worry.
Also some minigames
Explosion Rocks, which is basically Minesweeper, and the Statue Cave, where there's 150 puzzles for you to solve
Well it still is, but the tutorials do help a good bit on how certain mechanics work
Statue Cave also does as well
To all, just remember don't throw items to "sleeping" mixer. Please.
Or while you have a Cannon Arm effect on.
Though they are related to some painful trophies to earn if you're playing on PS Vita for some reason
Throw an equip at a sleeping Mixer and throw a Synthesis Pot with a Cannon Arm Bracelet.
@red oak what's your favorite monster in S5
Except mixer? then, I choose grass boy.
Grass Kid uhhhhh...
I have a bad history with them.
Got superunlucky seed from him?
So in the dungeon Clositer of Certain Doom, very rarely, there are 3 grasses that should NEVER be used.
Worse. A lot worse.
On 46 or 47F, I don't remember which one, this floor was an absolute disaster
First off, I defeated a Grass Poppa and it drops one of the three aforementioned grasses, the Amnesia Grass.
Have any clue what it does?
This isn't the bad part though, it was just a very bad omen.
Since I identified it right away.
Anyways, I was going around the floor, when another one showed up. I made the foolish mistake of attacking specifically this one and diving retribution strikes me. He scatters and hits me with an Imibikiso. What does this do, you ask?
It curses or seals all your items in your inventory.
This on its own would almost certainly cause a collapse
Then another one appears.
I get hit again by judgement and be hit by a Super Unlucky Seed, dropping to 1 HP, Lv1, 5 FG. I collapse just 60 turns later.
This image just radiates pure pain.
A terrible moment lol
If I'm completely honest
I don't find Super Unlucky to be that bad
Sure getting sent to those low gauges is very bad
But if you can isolate and defeat just one enemy you'll quickly rise back up to at least Lv23
As for Amnesia, well, it causes you to forget what any and all identified items you've found in your run.
Anyways back to the question
My favorite monster is the Maneater. Ever seen one of 'em?
The timeout monster?, I haven't killed him before yet.
The one that appears after an Ominous Aura happens, yes.
Well, they are an absolute unit, but my goodness are they fun to fight when you can beat them
There's multiple ways, but nothing is more satisfying than facing them head-on, and winning.
As for more practical ways, well, there's several.
Highly recommend having the Immune status, gotten from eating a Blessed Peach or reading an Immunity Scroll.
I would not recommend fighting them until at least 20F or later
They have 30 base Defense Power, reducing all direct damage by 15 points.
Meaning attacks early on are likely to do nothing more than a single point of damage.
Anyways, Poison Arrows are highly effective, reducing their beefy 65 base Attack Power down to a much more manageable 32.
Also rotten peach?
As for statuses, Confusion, Fear, and Blind are all highly effective, but do not use Sleep, Slumber, and Slow.
Rotten Peaches can work as well yeah
The thing with Maneaters is that as soon as they see their target, their speed increases by 1 stage, up to stage 3, or Swift 1, i.e it gets two movement turns and one attack turn.
This is the reason why not to use those three statuses, Sleep only lasts for 2 turns, Slumber lasts for 5 (which can still work if you deal enough damage), and Slow has NO EFFECT.
Because slow and fast cannot be mixed? right?
Well normally inflicting Slow on a Swift 1 target would set its speed to Normal, 1 movement turn, 1 attack turn.
The problem is that the effect that grants Maneaters a stage of Swift happens every turn while the target is within vision.
Meaning the status has 0 effect unless you're not within its sight.
Because the effect activates in the middle of their turn, it's also not recommended to stay in a hallway unless there's a corner it must first turn
Because if you do, the second it gets vision of you, it gains another turn, and will make an attack, dealing a huge amount of damage to you.
Confusion helps to prevent their attacks from hitting you, same with Fear, and Blind does so as well, except since they lose vision of you, they go back to normal speed.
However, there's another problematic ability they have, their paralyzing roar.
This ability affects the entire room, similarly to Ultra Gazers, and inflicts Paralysis to all enemy targets with around a 50% chance.
what is that game?
This is why Immune is very useful, because it prevents them from getting the first hit on you.
shiren 5
what is a shiren and what happoened to the other 4
And now we actually have to fight the thing.
and is shiren free?
At Lv1, they have a whopping 100 HP with 65 AP and 30 DP, stats fit for endgame enemies
shiren is an excellent roguelike game, if you heard of pokemon mystery dungeon, or touhou genso wanderer, both are shiren-like games.
S5 is $20 but it's an amazing game
The others you should be able to emulate pretty easily but you might need a patch for it since this is natively a Japanese game.
It's cheaper than pokemon mystery dungeons
As for ways to actually fight them
You can fight them directly, but this usually isn't a good idea.
You can use a Poison Arrow (easily gotten from Karakuroids) to halve their high AP
I never ever wasted a cent on games my whole life
Driller moment
Shoot them when they're on a Strip Trap or Hunger Trap to Weaken them with an Inaccuracy Bracelet or Killer Arrow
It reduces your FG by 10 points.
Inflicts one stack of Weaken on enemies that activate it.
"In my days these were called pits of despair"
- 👴
Rings just deal a flat +1 to your unarmed damage. Even ring of force.
Can ya stop please
No magical effects
Ok
You can eat a few Hard Peaches to grant yourself some stacks of Bolstered for a similar effect
You can build up a powerful Super chain and fight them that way, be aware that you do need Immune for this to be effective
And then two of my favorite ways
Trap yourself in the corner of a room using a Fort Staff while having either a Wall Clip Bracelet or the Tri-Direction rune with Immune status.
They can't hit you, but you can hit them.
Or alternatively
How many items that game has
Trap a Chow in the corner of a room, then paralyze things around it or build walls using a Fort Staff, the Maneater will target the Chow but can never reach it, making it a metaphorical sitting duck for your attacks.
Let me do a count.
First off though what's your prediction
200
Well, depending on how you count things, you're either not very close or not very close at all.
There are 310 different, tangible items that aren't leveled up weapons or shields
😳
And if you include the leveled equips and intangible ones, there's over 900 of them.
I missed!
Anyways, why would we want to fight Maneaters in the first place, they seem like a liability to fight, so why bother? Well, there are multiple reasons.
First off, they drop 1,000 experience, which is a lot for this point, you can easily get to Lv23 and a few more levels if you kill a good number of 'em.
Second, they give an unparalleled amount of equipment experience, a hidden mechanic that the game never tells you the direct values of in-game
A Lv1 Maneater drops an insane 400 equipment experience, that's as much as a Bashagga, an enemy that's practically impossible to fight directly
And at Lv4, Isleaters drop 900, the second highest amount only beaten by its Night version, which you shouldn't be trying to even kill with a direct attack.
And this can be boosted to 1,600, or 3,600 for Lv4 with the Tinkerer status active, for reference, that's enough to max out a Targite from Lv1 to Lv8 in 36 kills, exclusively for killing Lv1 Maneaters.
And lastly, they have a much higher than average chance to drop an item, 31% (most day things are 4% if they have a chance to, a few have a 2% chance) chance, and it's not an ordinary floor table item, it's guaranteed to be an item from that dungeon's Shop table, usually it'll be better than what you can normally get from the floor
Though be careful if it drops a grass, some dungeons have some really bad things there in the shop table
I'm pretty sure I've destabilized this entire thread but it's fun talking to someone who's a fan of the series.
I understand since it is a little hard to find shiren enjoyers(except pokemon, touhouGW)
Hopefully this inspires you to maybe fight some on occasion.
Not only for me, but also for all to see this thread.
"I love that maneater" - Zack
Ah, btw have you played SFC version of shiren 1? Diagonal controls are working bad with SFC controller, is it normal?
I've only actually played S5, but I might play the SNES version on an emulator some day.
Or maybe even play the DS version on real hardware
I don't know that your location has a retro cafe or something but for my case,
Played it with SFC.
I especially love this monster house theme from touhou genso wander reloaded.
Touhou Genso Wanderer Reloaded music that has been extended to play for 15 minutes.
Developer(s): Aqua Style
Publisher(s): NIS America
Plays at: Pandemoniums.
Just magnificent. It's more like a final dungeon song instead for Pandemoniums.
I'm liking Aqua Style's music even more and more. This arrangement gives me the feeling of my beloved Ma...
I collect many fumos(currently 20+)
Hold on
idea: replace every enemy with a crab
And they rest
Idea: replace every enemy with warlock 
fumo
Did you know
That every year, more then 696969 adventurers die prematurely for the encounter of crabs or snakes?
Donate at 19482864379103082718 for the F.E.S.A.C.F.D. (foundation extintion snakes and crabs for dungeons)
DONATE NOW! SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES TODAY
Wut the hell
Also why is one tryna make us look under her skirt
For non-expert, They think, armor is useless! I will kill'em all just upgrading the weapon!
Reality: you died
fumo
I mean, after prison armor IS useless with rogue / huntress
Edit: like half of them
One interesting and fun info: when grabbing fumos, we do this, like this
Oh bruhhh lmao
Also isn't BIT exaggerated all those paintings and the tables
Including dekas, more than 20.

Just see this
Btw where were you in this photo
So you want my face reveal?
What?
Ah, wait
the place
Lmao
Have you heard of aniplus shop?
It sells ani-related products, and periodically they open a collab-theme cafe.
Is it in europe?
Nope, in korea.
Aniplus in korea became famous to non-koreans too with hololive x aniplus collab cafe.
Funni
Remove prison biome
And current collab cafe, uma musume. (But I don't play uma musume, since the game is very RNGful, and no controls at player's will.) Just have some interest of chars.
(The food looks really good tbh)
How is this a terrible idea lmao
If someone is drunk, hololive pixel dungeon? Or hololive version of shiren just like touhou genso wanderer, or diavolo's adventure.
For gawr gura, inflicts instakill when caught... nethack kraken reference...
No more vtubers
Vtubers are just regular streamers with mask on
(OMG dream reference!1!1!)
Yes we need to talk about shiren more
OBJECTION
I was thinking lowly of this culture at your age too
but I came to understand than it is important to someone
Actually tbh, vtubers are balance collapsing because there are too many vtubers now
they are same celebrities on twitch as fortnite fans with 25k viewers
and if you have any objections to that
you should object to personality cults as a whole
more
Or maybe he just thinks vtubers specifically are cringe and cringe-pilled smh
You tricked me into thinking you're a little open-minded there >:/
I don't believe than labor conditions for those gals are the best in the world
have you heard about how korean idol agencies just throw their stars away once they reach certain age?
Probably via some news. Yes.
Korean idols actually have dark-side problems. But japanese k-fans don't know this.
Heh
"Never meet your heroes"
it is same thing with any trend
Joke?
50% of em are just fanservice
why I would joke about basic human affection and admiration
Yep you are definitely joking
you all have your own idols
what
...
Bastard! He got me
You're right cat
just because I am bitter bastard most of the time
it doesn't mean I do not understand why things become popular and how people can grow attached to them
if you have any basis for thinking than I am not geniune
please show it now
And this thread has suddenly frozen. What a freezing topic.
Nah, it's just that the genre is saturated i feel
Basically getting free press because anime avatar
Is like too low effort
In the end they are basically streamers
Low effort vtubers' final object: making "intended" money. They doesn't interested in writing anime-character history.
It's less the cult and more the person to me. I don't actually hate vtubers either lmao
They are corporation run as well
At least most of them
Hololive and nijisanji are bigger ones
So new recruits get traction very far compared to independent streamers
And they kinda bastardised virtual avatar imo
So many anime face streamers nowadays
I think streaming culture is wack anyhow. Merely because of the amount of them out there
I mostly watch clips of people
In 2022: A streamer with virtual character!
In 2032: A streamer with alphago!
...
Well, streaming will be doomed if alphago(A.I.) streamers are advent.
alphago?
that's a board game engine
are you saying than we should expect the rise of chess streamers?
No, I meant artifical intelligence streamers, not chess.
but alphago and similar are specialized for one task
if you want to say than streaming on twitch can be formalized enough to be reproduced by machine...
that's preposterous
AI text generation is somewhat too slow to keep engaging with the audience in believable ways
also this hypothetical streamer has to be unpredictable enough to generate clips
which is also unrealistic idea
Am I being overly concerned? The singularly is near...
First I heard about AI art. Then I heard about AI music
And now I'm hearing about AI streamers (Roboplier woo!)
Someone convince me how we're not approaching the robot apocalypse
Currently, japanese anime artists were pissed off because of new art drawing AI.
The only AI we need is Roko's basilisk
that's because their career depends on drawing similar frames and backgrounds
it is similar to automation riots several hundred years ago
instead of taking advantage of leaving busywork to machines
they see it as a thing that will completely replace them
which is not very unrealistic, seeing the situation with text generation programs
the biggest problem to solve is deciding who owns AI-generated shit
no laws account for those programs
https://petapixel.com/2022/10/06/google-announces-text-to-video-ai-generator-that-creates-hd-video/
Google also made this text to video AI.
Give me a single break already lol
I'm imagining an AI-generated analog horror series (or something as cryptic at least)
||All "Black Mirror" episodes are actually made by an AI||

they will not release this tool until those concerns are mitigated
hahah
we know those cultural biases
they are just thinking about monetizing this shit
and not actually caring about explicit content because every big tech company runs on denial of responsibility
what was
good idea
great idea!
New challenge idea:
Frail-bodied
> Start with 1 max HP
> Gain +1 max HP per level
> Might elixirs will work
So it's basically a don't get hit challenge
yeah, starvation only does 1 tick of damage always though
Pretty much just Become Ethereal but worse
And potion of intangible
@cinder lichen your cue
Which game are you referencing?
Summoning PD conduct (challenge)
Reduces your Max HP to 1 and increases Evade by 5x, Accuracy and Move Speed by 25%, and makes evading attacks more consistent
add countries
Anti-curse cursed enchants.
We have entropy curses, why not have it on the armour that does the reverse, effectively canceling each other out.
This would make the cursed infusions more interesting.
Proposals
Weapon. Armour
Entropy, Anti Entropy
Annoying, Silencing
Sacrificial, overgrowth
"Deep freeze"
debuff that freezes an enemy (or the player) through ENTIRELY, not just encasing them in ice.
player/mob is unable to move and slowly (I mean very slowly) loses life
any physical damage above a threshold causes the ice to shatter, killing the player or mob instantly
aw hell nah
pixel dungeon snowgrave route
real
awh hell nah
huntress as noelle nah
Chilling enchant on the bow w/ RoAR +16
instead of the tunnels missing in the echo levels, the floors are missing
Remove specials. Everyone starts out with 3 coins and they have to buy their own starter kit (final fantasy style)
You can change gender
thats a good idea
you can change gender but you have no control over it
it just happens randomly like every 50 turns
Several terrible trap ideas:
Dispel enchantment trap: both your weapon and armor's enchantment are removed.
Ring destruction trap: destroy randomly one of your equipped ring. Resists if the targeted ring has upgraded.
Blue crabmorph trap: you transform into a blue crab, all of your belongings are disabled(ankhs does not work too), and your movement speed is slowed. But you can parry one attack per 1 turn. This lasts until the transformation is ended.
How is blue crab morph a trap?
Just a reference of shiren
A hallway has two sides, one enemy on both sides
This has literally never happened to me
I remember in some mod your sprite changes when you drink from the transmutation well
vanilla?
yes, in vanilla your class changes if you go into well of transmutation
That's vanilla
Class together with bonuses or just sprite?
just sprite according to wiki
oh my goodness gracious its making me acrt strange
you are all acting strange
Idk they both hot imo
LOL
see i would agree if i was bi but im not bi im gay so
:p
hey man he was just drawn in teh type of guy im into so
ecks dee
wait crap does that mean im bi?
I mean
bi is most practical sexuality
you can fuck both men and women
that's awesome
👍
okay let's stop
inb4 ifrit bans trashbox
here is my terrible idea
mirror images copy your actions
they attack at the same time as you
and take damage at the same time as you
no idea so
curiously, most bi ppl ive met are single
how old they were?
so instead of bisexual they rly tend to just be bi-themselves
new viscosity rework:
getting hit by more than X% of ur max hp (the % lowers with upgrades), u split!
the dmg taken is split between ur new two versions
each version gets its own turn and is contorlled separately
can you recombine?
they also get halved max hp
and u can continue splitting. Over. And over. And over. And o v e r
no limits, each new YOU gets copies of ur items
sure nuff, at the end of the floor u recombine with ur own selves
the real challenge is not wanting to die having to control multiple characters per step
how about running into one wall for like 10 turns until you pop! and are back together
agario
it has to be a veeeerryyy good effect that is so unbelievably painful to use that no one uses
despite knowing that arguably its rly fucking good
here we do it thru micromanagement hell

and ofc once theres more than oen copy of urself u cant autorun anywhere since each copy is controlled by u
instead of being an AI like the sad ghost
obv
terrible idea: you can enter the dungeon with up to 4 heroes. All loot is multiplied based on how many people are there.
you control them all alone
once one hero makes their turn, time for another
all the time
idea: delete every mod channel other than shattered
if a typical game is between 15 and 20k turns (i think?), this will take about five times more time
its not like most ppl here play anything that isnt shattered anyways

might as well consolidate the monopoly already
5x more turns, and wayyy more irl time
swap archived pd channels with current ones
unironically
we need the way to access archived messages
how many channels can be in one server?
like 8000 i think
if we just had a archieve category...
it'd take an enormous amount of channels and look like a big mess
it could be via another version role, but instead of channel, it opens archive category
get out, its terrible ideas here
optional roles aren't as great of a solution as they might seem
it's like removing railing from a bridge
of course people wouldn't just walk off of the bridge and fall into the water would they?
make a water fountain secret (it has infinite dew)
Change warrior's seal into cloak of viscosity, which becomes his default armor
Descending on stairs has 1% chance to instakill you, because you wasn't careful enough, and fallen right through entire thing breaking all bones possible
over all the floors, i believe there is a 77% chance that you survive
So nethack
Onigiri Trap, except nowhere near as dangerous.
Those can be INSANELY dangerous
You step on one while there's something like a Sky Dragon or Ornery Tank is in the room and you die.
Instantly.
Nah, it's FFX Petrification.
Warden can no longer see through tall grass cuz how the fuck do u see through tall grass
Game now automatically goes to the next turn if u don’t do anything for 1s
Nerf huntress until her post-sewers 9ch winrate is similar to warrior
remove rogue
Hmm. You really want him gone lol
he just didnt use rogue as much
Allow it to be transmutted into
Add back rogue
a terrible idea indeed
Remove everything but Rogue
aight, lets make two new games: one without rogue, and one with only rogue

New subclasses for each hero
These subclasses are meant to oppose the class' usual focus
Warrior --> the coward (cant wear armor and gets move and atk speed bonuses depending on how low his hp is)
Mage --> the dimwit (cant use wands and breaks them for bonuses instead)
Rogue --> the reckless (cloak becomes unusable, but the rogue can automatically consume charges when taking dmg to reduce it by a %. Cannot use ranged weps or wands)
Huntress --> the purist (cant use ranged weps or wands, bow becomes a special wooden melee wep that can eat other weps (and wands) to gain some of their properties.)
Add trees
Challenge: Shadow Damage
All damage dealt will be converted to deferred damage.
Deferred damage cannot exceed current health.
5000 here we come
this thing is more active than half of the mod channels
it should be a channel imho
that's because it acts as #casual and #1013833905582899310 at the same time
and there is no quality control
People love some casual non-serious discussion
thankfully
Casual shitpost ideas.
Deathgazes proc instantly and blind/cripple the player (they're searing beams of demon magic bro)
deathgazes have a 10% chance to erase ur savefile
bcuz they disintegrate the saved data fro ur device
from*
should i delete ideas that aren't terrible enough
Nah
Bcuz the most terrible idea is allowing any ideas here in the firdt placr
Having 0 curation for terrible ideas is, in itself, a terrible idea
deathgaze destroys your armor cause deathgaze
Add a motivator that forces you to move further into the dungeon after a set # of turns
Like an invulnerable animated statue with constant mind vision
smells like persona
it's pretty annoying when people come here with regular ideas like "omg xddd my idea sucks so bad… it's such a shitpost ahaha *writes a 50 paragraph essay*"
so anyway here's my 50 paragraph essay
@dusk sky
this is no place for self-deprecation
then make rules for this place
literally 1984
you said "the worst you can think of" in first post
if i made no self-deprecation a rule you'd be the first one to get banned
if you believe than this thread is only for literally stupid ideas, then this should be clear
either in pins or title post
but I don't dump 50 paragraph texts in this thread
