 *Remove the "death/safe/victory" system. It gets too easy when you can just rely on that.(Disagree) [Maybe as an option, but not generally.]
 *Add a way of turning off the custom cursor, which causes lag on some slower computers.(Seconded)
-**When the game window loses focus, the mouse cursor does not get shown when you move it inside the game window again. This might be fixed by the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_681222.html <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">Susan Lim</span>] above suggestion.
+**When the game window loses focus, the mouse cursor does not get shown when you move it inside the game window again. This might be fixed by the above suggestion.
 *As mentioned before, add diagonal movement for arrow keys. Right now it is possible, but not optimal to use the keys because you have to use the mouse to access certain places.
 *Hotkeys: P for Pray/Pick Up/Purchase, numbers to choose between worship options, Space exits the Game Over screen.

 *Delayed keypress to allow for diagonal movement without numerical keyboard.(Yes,yes,yes!)
 *Please, please, PLEASE include WASD functionality.  Arrow keys/mouse or just clicking around both feel awkward.
 == Suggestions for the Gods system ==
 * Taurog followers get 50% HP restoration from any potion and no mana restoration.

 * Give some gold for boss slaying.
 * Make monster stats specific; a bit various for every monster. For example, a monster of type x of level y can have random HP value from 50 to 65 and random attack from 20 to 25. It will make game a bit more unpredictable and interesting.
-* Linux support.
+* Linux support. (Seconded, though I guess that this is up to the guys behind Unity. Also it works decently in Wine.)
 * Special Dungeon: Colliseum.  This special dungeon has no reward for completion and is unlocked after winning (AND SUBMITTING) a ranked game.  This dungeon allows you to create your own dungeons and put them up for download for other players, the same way you can with tilesets currently.  The control you have over the dungeon is over the types and amounts of monsters appearing( by lvl, so if I want all the lvl 1's in the dungeon to be goblins, I can), but not over the labrynth layout and the unlocks the player can bring in.  You can also design your own boss ( or two bosses, I suppose) based on the normal bosses, but with variable special qualities, similar to the campaign bosses.  Participating in this process might unlock a new class or some other bonus. This would help introduce new players to the DD community and can prove to be an even greater challenge on top of the campaign.
 * Save and view replays.  The game would automatically record the player's actions and give the option to save or view it upon death or retirement.  When viewing a replay, the player would only be allowed to move forward or back one action at a time and to mouse over objects for information.
 * A new monster, possibly for a special dungeon, that can reflect BURNDAYRAZ damage back to the player. ( Unless it still took damage from the spell, burn would essentially be completely useless, so why not make it just plain immune to the spell? )

 * [[Bloodmage]] with Power Hungry and [[BLUDTUPOWA]] currently do not jive very well. I propose that they lose Power Hungry and gain the ability to ignore magic resistance.
 * Meanwhile, Power Hungry along with the extra damaging [[BURNDAYRAZ]] ability and automatically summons BURNDARYAZ to your feet should be made into it's own class
 * [[Transmuter]] is cheap. I suggest that you only get HP when you destroy 5 walls as opposed to getting HP every time you destroy one wall.
 ** Just raise the cost of ENDISWALL for him.  If he runs out of mana, he has to explore to keep healing.  Right now, if he has sufficient mana he can almost invariably finish his target before he runs out.

-* [[Crusader|Martyr]] should have first strike properties. Otherwise it's a joke. ( It's definitely not a joke with death protection, my friend.)(Except that it doesn't work with Death Protection either.)

 * Fearless is bad on Crusaders and needs to be replaced with something better. I would suggest something similar to [[Berserker|Berserker's]] Bloodlust or the ability to spawn more [[Boosters|Attack Boosters.]]

 * Make a class that can only live for so many actions before dying
 * [[Fighter|Fighter's]] Pit Dog should be changed so that you have either kill 10 enemies or kill an enemy above your level to gain death protection. (Seconded)
-* [[Thief]] should lose Survivor and gain the ability to steal from stores. It should be an option under buy and it works 50% of the time. Currently Stabber and Survivor make it way too easy to conserve potions, making any dungeon a breeze. Plus Survivor, it's rather unrougelike ability.(Voted down, the amount of randomness in the game should be decreased, plus, the concequence for this type of choice could make or break a game consistantly)(it would make or break the game as much as Dodge would)
