just as the name implies I believe they are not well balanced at the moment, they wreck your house like its going out of style if your not careful, they're ten times worse than Endermen in Minecraft.

Lol nobody cares and afterall then make a house on a mountain >_>

I like the Dungeon Master , because the give a real meaning to "survival mode" . In Minecraft , its so easy to survive , here it's harder and I like that !

I had my house in the top of a mountain, a Dungeon master made a hole (now the mountain is empty) and almost destroyed all my house. I had damage disabled, so I killed him and put water blocks inside the hole =D
Well, I don't like them...

Well yeah but now on the new update they are supposed to shoot only at players so i guess this problem is kind of solved is'nt it ?

They make big hole where they can spawn , you just have to place lot of torch and they are gone :) ! They will not re-spawn any-more .

only_peaceful_mobs = true
That setting in the minetest.conf file ends the existence of Dungeon Masters.

No. Just encountered that guy while smelting some ore in my cellar. He made a nice hole in the wall. And the floor. And the garden. Does the dungeon master destroy chests and furnaces, too? In that case I should move my storage area. So much for building underground out of griefers' sight.

They are either too overpowered or too common.

Just tried it. Yes, he also destroys non empty containers. Even locked chest. So hiding valuable items in the basement is no longer a good idea. Oh and the client crashes when the chest is shot while it is open.

So maybe I should go back to airships instead of mines.

I like the Dungeon Master, he is really entertaining and scary :D

Posted: **Tue Nov 08, 2011 09:19**

I've never had a problem with DM. I usually have enough stone swords for preparation. Plus, they're pretty scaring if they dive out of nowhere. Now if only that had a horrific roar.

Could not say it better :)
I will create custom sounds for the mobs, but someone needs to create a fork which make it possible to play sounds.

The sounds or the sound system?
I will update my sound pack soon, which will feature a new hurt sound, improved step sounds and several other new or improved sounds.

If you think they are overpowered now, I wonder what would you have said about those duplicating random shooting mosters we had in the previous versions. :)

DMs now shoot only if you come too close to disturb them. So if you go underground - prepare to fight (and don't forget the torches) :)

Posted: **Fri Nov 11, 2011 21:05**

At first I thought that too - way overpowered. And I was like, ohh nighttime, have to get high up and wait for daytime. Now I go down when its nighttime. I dig great holes, wide enough to get some place to move. And if I meet one I firstly dig o a safer place, then see, if it is flat enough to quickly get to them. If it is, then I run and poke them with iron swords. They gone quite fast. If there is too bad surface with holes or lava, then I just build with stones in some 5 layers and dig over them, then down again. I leave them.
Of course, first moment when you fall somewhere is scary and can kill you, but usually I win.

My experience shows torches has no influence on DMs.

Personally, I wish there were more of them, I wish they came out of the ground at night, so you had to go into your house.

But they need to keep their Dungeon Master name. They should make another mob for the surface.

If they would come out of ground they would go through your house floor :D

Posted: **Mon Nov 14, 2011 21:06**

maybe if they spawned in dark unlit places at night

As promised, here is the new version of my sound pack: http://celeron.55.lt/~celeron55/minetest/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=2824#p2824.

It features sounds for the dungeon master, too.
