Asking as the 'leader' of the Speedrunning Community:
Is there anything that you'd like from the MCD Speedrunning community, whether to help the game (bugfixes, etc.) or otherwise?

Keep speedrunning! We've very much been enjoying watching streams and competitions. If you have feedback or thoughts, feel free to reach out! The feedback website is good, and we also look at Reddit fairly often.

Q: Why is there no endgame boss in Flames of the Nether DLC?

A: Whenever we make new content or features, we have to think about what we want to see the most, and then prioritize. While we like having narrative and bosses, we also wanted to try something new, with more of an "adventure" and "treasure hunt" feel. Instead of one very complex boss, we opted for making many variant bosses in the form of Ancient Mobs, and tried to make those interesting to find and fight.

Q: Why the mob from the special 10 million players bundle is a baby pig?

A: We thought it was cute! Plus, we didn't have a baby pig in the game yet and everyone loves baby pigs.

Q: how long do you plan on updating this game and bringing new content

A: We're certainly not stopping any time soon! We have hinted at the next few updates in a video at Minecon Live, and work on those is currently ongoing. I'm excited about what the future holds!

Q: Where will the dungeon arcade machines be located?

A: They're slowly making their way out to arcades! More locations to come!

Q: Why isn’t everyone favorite Nether boat, the strider, in FOTN?

A: We pick and choose which mobs make sense to add to an update, which might have mechanics that would be useful to us, but have considerations for development resources. We can't just add all Minecraft mobs!

Q: Will you add shield to the game, since some squelettons already have some in the desert temple level ?

A: Shields is something we've been interested in and explored briefly during development. We've said that if we were to ever make them, we'd want to do them justice and make sure they're interesting. That might include making new enchantments for shields or adapting existing enchantments to put them on shields, plus adds a lot of complexity and requirements. In the end, the cost of the feature outweighed the benefits and we decided to focus our efforts on other areas. That doesn't mean we would never introduce something like shields, but it's not planned for the near future.

Q: Why are you giving regular bows all the good new enchantments? The Imploding crossbow is my favourite ranged weapon, but it doesn't get any of the new awesome ranged enchantments.

A: Frankly, some of the crossbows (including Exploding Crossbows and Harp Crossbow, for example) were really strong already, and most regular bows were a little underwhelming by comparison. We wanted to make sure that they felt viable too, and we also had some ideas for mechanics that we thought would work really well when tied into charged attacks (which aren't possible with crossbows).

Q: With the next DLCs do you intend to continue with the same formula as in the flames of the nether dlc, of having more levels but they are shorter ,or have less levels but they are longer as in the Holwing peaks DLC?

A: The Nether was a big one that we'd been working on for a while, that we knew would be a lot different. We'll mix and match a little, so you could expect to see something in the style of Howling Peaks, but you can also expect some unexpectedness in the future!

Q: In the recent 1.8 update, was it the intention to make the Arch Haven drop a 100% chance to spawn? If so, are you aware its till not 100% guaranteed?

A: Definitely a bug. The intent was to make this a 100% drop in Pumpkin Pastures and are aware that it's not quite there

Q: did you think that the game would get 10 000 000 players in 1 year?

A: We were hoping to see a lot of players, of course - but it's still feels immensely surprising and rewarding to see so many enjoying the game. Personally, I don't know that I ever dared hope for this many, and it's both daunting and lovely that we got there!

Q: I really like when you guys did the Halloween event and the gear within. Will there be another event like this one ever again?

A: Spooky Fall and Chills & Thrills were incredibly fun events! We like doing them and would love to do them again

Q: Speaking as a member of the modding community, have you considered releasing some of your internal level tools and/or making content like entities possible to create with mods? In my opinion, a lot of what makes Minecraft Minecraft is the community content, and bringing modded content closer to center stage seems like a great way to bring that spirit of community content to Minecraft Dungeons

A: Community content definitely makes Minecraft Minecraft, and that's going to remain true for Minecraft (the game with no additional text in the title). For Minecraft Dungeons, it's a very different kind of game, and the team isn't set up to expand and support the game in the same way as the most successful sandbox crafting game in history. We'd love to support it more, but the team is small enough that it's a matter of priorities: time spent on tooling is time taken away from bug updates and features.

Q: Will there every be "Gilded Artifacts"? I know that Artifacts can't have enchants but will there ever be Unique or Gilded Artifacts that have special bonuses? (such as more damage or shorter cooldown)

A: We don't currently have any plans for gilded artifacts. Variant artifacts with special properties is something we've talked about many times during development and would absolutely love to do in some fashion. As always, it comes down to development priorities. For gear, enchantments ia already a big existing system that we could nicely tie into, while doing something similar for artifacts - all of which have vastly different types of effects - is more of a challenge. Not even cooldown is a consistently working mechanism for all artifacts, so it would have to be a whole new system. The scope of that is large and it becomes a trade-off against other features and content.

Q: Will the Dungeons team continue its work on accessibility? This game has insane amounts of potential for blind and visually impaired gamers, due to its incredible sound design, however many accessibility bugs exist.

A: We'll keep on trying to improve the game as much as possible to make it accessible and easy to play for all kinds of players

Q: When will you be adding cloud saves to Minecraft Dungeons?

A: We have no specifics to announce yet, but it's still coming. We're making progress!

Q: In the ending of the Nether Fortess level, the final room has a large statue of the MOB D/Hovering Inferno, and it seems like the room should contain a boss, such as the Inferno itself, which has been found in files by some people on Reddit/the modding community. Is there any reason for this?

A: Mob D, the Hovering Inferno, is now... the Wildfire. Wildfires were originally slated to be a new event mob alongside the Ghast. The statue was done earlier and was "easier" work compared to the actual mob. While partial work on the mob was completed, it wasn't ready in time; it still needed some work on behaviors, balancing, testing, etc.

We may see a Wildfire pop up again in Dungeons, if we find a place to slot in that work in our busy roadmap. If not, maybe it'll pop up again someday in the Minecraft universe.

Q: Will there be a Minecraft Dungeons 2 or sequel?

A: Is that something that you all would want?

Q: What inspired you to add ancient hunts

A: We really wanted an interesting end game feature, and in a brainstorm meeting
Pontus asked "What if the player could affect how the missions play?" and that created an avalanche of ideas and thoughts that eventually ended in Ancient Hunts

Q: Please tell me how you guys got the ”WAWAWAWA” sound for the vine whisperer thing in the Jungle Awakens dlc
A: It's inspired by Age of Empires, and a lovely voice acting person just went for it

Q: Do you think there could be an art book for the concept art of MCD? I know there probably isn't any plans for any book but is it a possibility?

A: It is a possibility for sure! We have tons of concept art by now including lots of scrapped ideas. Personally I hope we do

Q: Would some of the development team from Minecraft Earth move to the development team of Minecraft Dungeons?

A: Earth development was in our Redmond location, while the Dungeons team is in Stockholm, so there isn't likely to be overlap there. But there's lots to do at Mojang!

Q: What are your thoughts on the modding work the Dokucraft Team has done? Like CCCode's Custom Skin Loader
A: We love it! We enjoy seeing the crazy things that people can put in the game

Q: In the last scene of the epilogue of the Obsidian Pinnacle level, Orb's parts were merged and regenerated, but in DLC packs the Orb was still fragmented and scattered around the overworld.
Why....

A: One of two things must be true:
1) Some shards got scattered all across the universe, and some shards were shown being pulled together. Whether those two are exactly the same shards and whether the thing happened to all of them remains to be seen...
2) As @danielbjorkefors puts it, the shards all had a meeting, couldn't get along, and decided to spread all across the overworld.

Q: Will there be a boss for the Flames of the nether dlc in the future?

A: No, this was never part of the DLC. I know that some had expectations of there being a boss because DLCs 1-3 had three levels and a boss, but Nehther had 6 levels and Ancient Hunts, so it wasn't planned to be consistent with any patterns. The Nether is a fun adventure, rather than a story piece.

Q: For what will nether portal in camp be used for?

A: It's broken, and I can't seem to pick up blocks! So it looks like it'll be broken.

Q: Could you modify the Chinese simplified translation？There are many mistakes in Chinese simplified translation and some translations are even difficult to understand.
A: We're trying our best to improve our translations. We are aware of the issues and we'll keep on working hard to fix them!

This isn't a bug report. I'm more curious about the nature of these things.

-A lot's been done to balance the game, especially the damage of things like Fire Trail, Burning, Electrified. However, there are some things (like if you get Gravity Pulsed onto Fire Trail, you can die immediately from full health without Reckless and with Iron Hide. And as your weapons grow in power, Radiance heals less and less % of what it should, until it's only healing 157k out of the 224k it's supposed to at power 251).

My Q is: Are these unintended bugs, and if so, are they known and with plans to work on them (and others)?

A: Balance is ongoing work, of course. Generally speaking, I'd say we want to avoid instant deaths, but we also want to make sure the game is challenging at high difficulties. When there's a variety of playstyles and some builds are much tankier than others, these things become very tricky. Making things less damaging risks making things too easy for seasoned players, and upping the damage risks making it too hard for certain builds.

As for Radiance, I'm not totally sure off the top of my head - I'd have to look into it more to answer that specifically.

问：能改善下简中翻译吗？简中翻译中存在大量基翻，有些甚至翻译地莫名其妙。
