MineCraft Dungeons Beta Impressions/Invite Thread

Being cheeky, any chance of an invite? No worries if not :)
Cool.
Game is pretty OK. It feels slow and plodding, at least early on. I'm not getting any sense of strategy in combat yet, but I'm also only level 5 or so.
I like the enchantment system. Makes it worthwhile to stick with gear. But I wonder what happens as you get better gear and salvage the old gear? Can you get infinite enchant points for gear?
Mobility feels really limited. The dodge cooldown is maybe a bit too long. And when there are multiple ranges enemies, you can't dodge everything.
I'm going to keep playing and see what the late game holds.
Did they mention if beta progress sticks into full release?
My stats.
You never lose enchanments...when you salvage, you get your enchanments back. Beta stats don't stay with you.
Ah OK. Didn't realize my points came back. That's cool!
As for progress not carrying over, that's a bummer. But I guess I get it.
If anyone has a spare beta entry , I'd love to give this a go! Didn't realize there was a sign up.
How does one get a code??? My son has been dying to play this. It'd be a great diversion to play this together.
Well said. It could be deeper (it's the start of the game and a beta though, we don't know how the variety will be), but it's just so charming, so polished, feels so great all in all. Can't wait for the full release.
Are any sites giving out codes? How did everyone get them to begin with? I'd love to figure out how to get one too! :)
I have no codes to spare. This plays as elegantly as last year's E3 build, though I'm concerned about some tedium in the auto-generated map designs.
If anyone has an extra invite I would greatly appreciate it. Would be nice to play something while in quarentine.
That's disappointing to hear. That's not enough item slots to keep things interesting I fear.
Each weapon and armor has up to 3 enchantments that also have 3 tiers of an enchament. They vary based on the loot you get. A lot of different enchantments. You can change your Armour and weapons, salvage, and enchant at anytime. Each enchantment slot has up to 3 or 4 different enchantments to choose from. Once you select you can't go back.
Enchantments are basically permanent gems to the items, so think of them as gem slots and you can get gear with 1-3 slots.
Artifacts do not have these so in end game you'll be looking at 9 max.
I think it's honestly very disappointing but at the same time I can understand they don't want to make the game too deep to lure in the younger audience.
This already sounds better than Diablo 3. I couldn't believe how little randomization that game got!
This is a fun little game, but doesn't seem like it's going to have enough depth to promote extremely long periods of play. Whats here is pretty good though. I enjoy the enchantment system, the visuals are very fetching if you like the Minecraft style, and the combat is pretty snappy and feels satisfying for what it is. So far there's just not enough going on under the hood as far as character development and progression goes to make me think I'll spend more than ten or fifteen hours with it though.
Going to keep progressing through the beta later. Hopefully I'll discover stuff that will really grip me.

How do you unlock the secret level?
And about the enchantments: can you reset the possible effects before you put points into the weapons / armor or is the effect fixed?
