    **EDIT** Did some testing on stream and to my surprise we really didn't miss much and the tiny things not shown or mentioned fully are very self-explanatory. I will say this though, we noticed that the new Gestalts correspond to how many players are nearby so expect 2-3 per player!
    As this is true, postgame content Klei really needs to NOT be afraid of the power creep anymore. These new items need serious buffs and interesting ties to Enlightenment or something. And no, Wormwood is not safe from these new plants in case you're wondering. But yes, the Setpiece does uproot and destroy stuff as it expands so that might get interesting... 0_o

      I agree they are really afraid to make something overpowered. Most of the weapons and armors are not even worth making becauase a lot of them are underpowered or simply there is a much better alternative. Looks like we still have to beat all bosses with ham bats and log suits...

      Wanda's Alarming Clock, WX's Circuits, and even Wolfgang as a Survivor alone are just three of the many examples I can give you that negates every word you said, Joseph. Balance hasn't existed in this game since the middle of 2021 for Pete's sake. Furthermore, who said anything about them needing to be overpowered? We want them to have MORE, that's it. We literally earned it in this case. And come off it with the "It needs to stay fully a survival game..." nonsense. This game hasn't been a Survival Game for 4+ years ever since they started down this Return of Them, Lunar VS Nightmare Path. You're talking circles around nothing essentially while somehow missing every point ever which only makes what we're talking about make more sense! 😅

      The only true obstacle is Crab King which can just be cheesed with bunnies anyways. Pearl is easier now, iridescent gems are easier now, the Celestial Champion is arguably easier than Fuelweaver and if you can't find what you need the progression literally gives you an item (astral detector) to locate everything. Literally everything.

    A few improvements Klei could add to the update:
    1. The plants should be neutral to wormwood. Both literally come from the moon (heck, wormwood should be able to make his own for self-defence)
    2. The enlightened crown should make things from the rift neutral to you
    3. New gear should be better than thulecite, and deal more damage than it considering it’s the most late-game thing possible
    4. The rifts should be able to be closed with some pure horror, for no reason other than i think it’d be cool
    5. A slightly worse version of the moon-caller’s staff should be craftable at the brightsmithy
    6. The area around the rift should do the sanity reversal around it like lunar island

    • @TheColdfrontCommander
      @TheColdfrontCommander Рік тому +6

      @@TheBeard777 Well I’m going to try and guess based off lore and what not
      Willow - Most likely shadows. After all she’s made deals with Maxwell and it’s responsible for Bernie.
      Wolfgang - Most likely shadows again, provided him his temporary strength during the train wreck in lore he desperately sought out.
      Wendy - 3 in a row shadows. Most likely the thing responsible for bringing Abigail with her. As the game states “she’s comfortable in the dark”
      WX-78: Whichever is going to help him achieve world domination faster. If I had to guess it’s shadows.
      Wickerbottom: the first real toughie. Shadow energy May power the books but she straight up also has one that creates a full moon. Lore wise, she did make another deal with Maxwell to protect her books. I’ll leave this up for debate.
      Woodie - Probably shadows? I mean full moons do cause his curse to activate so he doesn’t want that to happen.
      Wes - Wes is going to conquer the world and humanity
      Maxwell - it’s obvious.
      Wigfrid - Another deal with maxwell probably sets this one as another one in the shadow gang.
      Webber - I’m guessing lunar on this one. It is responsible for his shattered spider friends.
      Winona - Probably lunar. She would do anything to bring her sister back to the light. And she was in the forbidden knowledge trailer
      Warly - Another toughie since we have 0 kind of evidence to look at. I’m guessing lunar since that’s not what brought him to the constant and made him abandon his dear mother. The dude doesn’t deserve this.
      Walter - Walter is just a child and is barely unaware of these 2 sides. Although campers, sailors, and other outdoor activities extremists sometimes use the moon to guide them, so there is that.
      DLC Characters
      Wortox - Not much evidence but probably shadows. May be responsible for letting him do such things as heal and teleport with souls.
      Wormwood - The maxwell of the moon. It’s also obvious.
      Wurt - No evidence to decide. Like straight up none. However I was unhappy with this result, so along with the 30 minutes needed to write this whole thing, I spent 15 more analyzing quotes for Wurt. Some that caught my eye were the waxing moon dial quote where she encourages it to grow. Along with the fact she likes things like hot springs on lunar island. I think she definitely would side with lunar as she feels more comfortable around it.
      Wanda - Shadow energy is probably how her tools work. At the same time she is constantly perused by nightmare creatures. There’s probably a quote somewhere that decides this but meh.

      @@TheColdfrontCommander eh imo it’s not too accurate to sort them out by this. Sure quite a few of them made a deal with maxwell, but you have to remember that maxwell clearly double crossed heaps of these people by tricking them into going into the constant. I think it’s better to judge them out by how they display themselves morally throughout the game and their respective animated shorts too. That being said, wortox would probably be on the light side given that he clearly goes against krampus, but it’s hard to say for sure.

    I would make it so that wearing the full set of the armor would give the gestalt summoning effect of the crown, but not the light, and the lunar pick should mine as fast as the glass axe chops, and maybe a way to truly kill the gazers sort of like how burning hound corpses with a torch prevents horror hound spawns, maybe killing it with a shadow weapon would stop its regen

    I really don't care for endgame stuff. I wish they added more content that pushes itself on the player and forces a reaction, more things like Hounds and Deerclops that come for you instead of waiting for you to go out of your way to find them once you're comfy. While the rifts technically do invade your world, they only start happening after Celestial Champion, who is the absolute pinnacle of what I just described.
