Ugh. Chill, please? This here isn't a wiki page even, it's a forum thread, and some people do indeed read forums with the hopes they don't get spoiled on a puzzle. And FYI, the loot is probably randomized, and the Scroll of Enchantment isn't something you can find naturally regardless.
And I'm pretty sure I've already told you specifically this, but please be polite. Please? It's a shambling corpse of a community, sure, but it still has some small value left to some of us, even if it is just misplaced nostalgia.
...I miss this community.
Ugh... please, be respectful to other community members. Yes, the community is dead, but you don't need to beat its corpse.
Hey, maybe it's not the largest car, but few things are quite as reliable for fitting the entire drunk squad in.
Now, if only I could say the same about getting the engine to turn over...
No, I've given up on this. You win. That's what was meant by "farewell". Have fun.
It's a sincere attempt to honestly reach out and ask you to stop your abuse of the site and the community. If you don't wish to take it in that regard, very well, but I ask that you at least give its content some consideration.
Farewell.
Look. This is the bloated, floating corpse of a dead community. It was a good ride while it lasted, and when I come back on occasion to look at things and see someone shooting their mouth off at random anons for a quick laugh, it kinda hurts the memory. Besides, your actions are in violation of the local community guidelines, and depending on your jurisdiction, the law... but no more are there any arbiters to uphold these edicts. The admins haven't logged on in ages. That doesn't mean I'm not gonna try to politely stop people breaking the rules, though.
I care about this game and this community. Yeah, it's dead, but c'mon, what excuse does that give you to attack the few people who still hang around? That's just bad etiquette anywhere.
And please, these people are stupid? Then you haven't seen stupid. Go work a L1 I.T. Helpdesk Hell job, then tell me these people are stupid. There is no stupidity that rivals the people who will cuss you out on the phone for ten minutes for "being bad at your job" because they lied and said they made sure things were plugged in when they weren't.
Also keep in mind that plenty of people around damn near any site are kids. I don't necessarily expect a 10-year-old to escape to the surface with the Amulet on their 35th run, nor do I expect the starry-eyed 11-year-old trying to get into programming by taking a thing they love and moving it closer to their vision to be able to immediately find the source code for a dead project.
Still, there's plenty of inexperience. If you have a problem with that, then take a proactive stance and try to share some knowledge with people that might help them escape that instead of insulting them. That's the point of a wiki to begin with -- sharing knowledge.
And yeah, the game can mean a lot to people. Maybe they're in a rough strait and don't find joy in much else. Or hell, maybe they just have a casual interest and it's one of the first communities they've felt at home in (or would have, given the chance). That's the point of a community forum like this, and the stated mission of Wikia (well, ok, was. Now it's mostly bad clickbait).
So, can you maybe understand why I might be frustrated when somebody hiding behind an anonymous guise decides to spit in the face of those ideals? You could be doing real harm -- if anyone in these situation are down on hard times, then what you say might be the difference between them giving up entirely or persevering. That can apply to more things than you first realize, too: maybe it's just trying to finish a run, or maybe it's a grand goal for their future, or maybe their very life.
With that in mind, please try to be more considerate of others from now on. Maybe make an account so we can tell you apart, too. If you still have no desire to do that, then I ask that you leave. You obviously don't have to pay any heed to that request, and it's unlikely you're going to be reprimanded in any way regardless. But I do sincerely hope that I've made you reconsider your attitude around here.
Capiche?
Eh, methinks I'll just relegate 'im to the "Escaped /b/tard in need of a loving home" pile. Not like I'm an admin. Good friends with one, but this community is dead. I'd be suprised to see him log on att all anymore.
Ah! Wonderful. It appears that that was changed in a recent[-ish] update. Still, there's no reason to insult other users for struggling to find a dropped item. There are plenty of reasons why they might not have been able to, and very few if any insinuate anything about their intelligence.
No, you're not "just stating facts" or whatever other justification. You are outright insulting people with no prompting. And there is NO justification for that.
Nah, it took me quite a few runs to begin with, but I have nothing to prove. I don't care about how long it takes you to get that first win, I just want to congratulate the newbies who finally got the amulet. And not everyone catches on to the mechanics that quickly, so what? That doesn't insinuate anything about their basic intelligence, just that maybe they had bad luck, or didn't quite develop game sense for these sort of tactics that quickly.
But please, if you only plan on slighting others, then don't bother posting. I don't care if you attack me, but I do humbly request that you don't go after other users. They've done nothing to garner the hate. And no, being honest that it took a while to catch on to things doesn't count.
I don't care about the relation in the end, is my point. I just wanted to request that you, I don't know, maybe stop being so rude to our users? I wanted to be polite and not just outright call you out for being rude, but I've no more patience for that.
So, I will put it as bluntly as possible:
Yes, Wikia supports IP bans. And wow, when told to stop being rude, you basically give a declaration of war. It's not that hard to exercise decency, y'know. If you really need to be rude, go yell at someone on YouTube or rant at /b/tards or whatever. This community doesn't have any desire or need to harbor toxicity.
Actually, you do lose the boomerang (or any other item) permanently when you drop it in a chasm! And I implore you, PLEASE be more polite. This rudeness is untolerated.
Or maybe you just had pretty good luck on that run. One of a roguelike's main appeals is its randomness, and the same randomness that grants someone a Ring of Haste+3 and an equally-potent Wand of Firebolt before the end of the Sewers can also kick you in the shins with a cursed -2 scalemail. Furthermore, while Pixel Dungeon was your first roguelike, many other tactical games exist outside of the genre, lessons from which can carry over quite well to Pixel Dungeon.
Personally, though? I think there's a good chance you never legitimately got your first win that quickly, and that you're being quite rude, in direct violation of our community guidelines. So, I do request that you act more polite, kind sir! Especially since I do believe we've had issues in the past!
Again, finding the code on the Internet has no correalation with one's ability to program. So, uh... chill. It's not particularly kind to be attacking people for that, regardless of whether or not the skills relate, and that's my real issue here. We don't take kindly to rudeness around here. Thanks.
Yes, yes, it's common consensus that Shattered carries the torch forth best. But please, stop being rude. We have a fairly strict policy against swearing and rudeness, so if you keep that up you're very likely to get banned. (In fact, were the community not dead in the water as of late, you probably would have been already.) So please keep that in mind and have a wonderful day!
Hey there, pal! I want to politely suggest that maybe, just possibly, you don't act like a massive Sewer Crab towards our other users! And besides, this game is obscure enough that it can be tough to find the source amid a sea of modding tutorials. Contrary to popular StackOverflow jokes, having the patience and energy to sift through dozens of pages of Google results has nothing to do with your ability to write and modify Java code. Thank you very much, not-so-kind sir/ma'am/mx/attack copter/mayonnaise!
Hello there! Just wanted to inform you that being rude to other users is not tolerated in the slightest here! While "betrayed" may not quite be the right word, the community at large would like to be able to play with the other new features without having to deal with item degradation, of which the general consensus of has been highly negative!
So, if you may consider apologizing for your impolite discourse, and have a wonderful time playing this wonderful game!
Because there's already just so many mods. Too many, really. Yeah, they're all great, and a lot have a good amount of effort put in. But there's only so much you can really do with PD, and I think we're starting to get past that point. In the meantime, go find one of the other twenty or so mods that appeal to you.
Besides, we in the CS field have a saying: "If you want something, make it yourself."
I was browsing the RPG subreddit just now and stumbled across this -- a procedural generator for a city made by Watabou.
I'm tempted to speculate on whether or not this means we'll be seeing "the" City in Pixel Dungeon in the near future, but for the sake of my own happiness, I'm not going to.
So, uh, yeah. Neat. Ah... back to reddit.
