Flirt with young Hellyfish in a not-at-all creepy manner.
Whew... Just spent about a week trying to read through the thread.
1-We don't have the ring currently.
2-The ring can be used for normal diplomacy. There is no need to put the word "flirt" to make the bonus work. So I wouldn't use that word when we are dealing with hellspawned jellyfish.

We're not SUPPOSED to be able to kill Searchbots. Did you not notice how crazy OP they were for that DL? Or the part where FFS has gone on record multiple times saying that open combat is intended to get you murdered and you're supposed to cheat the system dwarven-style?
My point. Searchbots are strong enough that you don't fight them.
But if you live in the middle of what's basically their I-94, you're going to have to. Multiple times per day, when they're moving around a lot.

Well, the Searchbots are Proxxy's thing, so if she doesn't have a reason to deploy them to the Underside, she won't. Not to mention the Underside Village is basically located in a dead end, with the steep dropoff on the East end of it. You don't go through Underside Village to get places, you go past it. It may have to relocate now that we've blown a hole in the Searchbot highway over Mili's house... or maybe they'll just repair it and go on with their lives.

I was referring to a previous explanation of "Why are the vents big enough to toss people in, anyways?" which suggested that the vents were used as a way for searchbots to get around.

Erm... Yeah... I just reread that, and I heartily agree. It's doomed to failure and sounds WAY more pedophilic than I intended.

Not only pedophilic, but also zoophilic, and, considering that these Hellyfish have something to do with hell, darkness and maybe undeath, the comment can be even classified as necrophilic. ;)

Anyway, I want them as pets.

If i was a really evil GM doing this game, i'd make Ciro sound like Slog when underwater, just to rub in Slogs death.

...What? Why are you trying to kill Ciro?

I don't think any of us are expecting frequent updates. Please don't kill yourself, that tends to do bad things to update speed.

I've got to ask... You do realize that LordSlowpoke is joking around 80% (or more) of the time, right? You take everything he says seriously.

I take everything everyone says seriously. It's hard to tell tone over the Internet, and people get more annoyed if you act as though they're being sarcastic when they're not.

Unused content in Warrens!

A while back, someone (I think monk12) asked if there was any other unused content in Warrens, and I told him/her I'd compile some info. Well, I'm a bit tardy, but now's as good as ever. Interesting note: there's not much "truly unused" content in the game. Most stuff has been repurposed in some way.

Way back when I originally doodled and statted up a bunch of monsters in Trig class one day, the cleaning bot was going to be an uncommon foe on D:2. It would have been fairly similar to Polaris but with less power and extra ranged capacity. The 'bot was a fairly rare entry on the enemy roll table, and by the time most of the level was explored, I'd never once rolled this enemy up, so I decided to repurpose it as a servant to a yet-unseen character.

(Click to enlarge) This an incomplete DL3-themed sub-dungeon that went totally and entirely unused for various reasons.

The unused sprites for Loot Juice and Oric Cola, respectively. Loot Juice has a slightly different design now, and Oric Cola has so far not appeared.


On the same topic: although Oric's shop signs were redrawn, they're still the same as our first look at them. Humorously, the "juiced up juice now 50% off" sign still remains (even though it's called "magic juice" now).


(Click to enlarge) These textures, originally shown in the 3D concept image before we exited DL2, were considered for the primary DL3 textures but later discarded.

During the brief period after Ciro exited the LSS, some characters had slightly more detailed that looked even sillier at the normal resolution than they did expanded. Instead of zooming in, I went back to the normal ones after a while.

Most of the characters have back sprites scattered throughout some of the files, but I was too lazy to find them. Only Al and old Ciro's have ever been used.

Illborn Riltia was never seen from below her main body segments, but on the bottom of her worm body, she had a spinning platform of machine claws in the shape of the Searchbot claws.

Stat points are still available as an exceedingly rare random drop, but they no longer look like this.

I'm actually not sure what this texture on the sell/buy mats is or where it came from originally.

DL2 was originally going to have some sort of conveyor puzzle.

That's all I can find for now. Hope it's sufficient.

It's hard to tell tone over the Internet

It's... really not after you spend even a fraction of the time you've spent on the forums learn to do so.

You can't hear their voice, see their face, or really know much about them. And on Bay12, you can never tell if the suggestion to skin a cat and turn it into a hat is serious or not. Or both.
