So being able to change the color of the crown and the light it gives off is really cool but am I the only game one who is really unimpressed by the other changes? They're just more expensive festive lights aren't they....? Infinite light in a glowcap/mushlight of a certain colour.

With world settings being a thing now you can easily amass festive lights via deer, Klaus and fishing oasis. 

Can someone tell me why these shards being usable as festive lights is so good?

Do they at least lift up off the ground if they're sitting on the ground and you're nearby like the celestial orb? Do they give off a better light radius than festive lights?

 

It's very good because it's in the base game, infinite light being locked behind a seasonal event was odd, even with the recent game setting update.

I doubt they are any different in terms of radius, but at least for now you can amass them so much quickly with green gems, once you defeat the champion you can fuel your infinite glowcaps very fast, unlike fishing in the oasis or killing feast Klaus every 20 days.

high effort high reward, unless you don't consider something infinite to be reward high enough :shrug:

Getting 1.25 glowcaps of light per boss kill by doing a storm 3 times that can literally ruin builds via killing the mobs inside is absurdly difficult risk for very low reward, especially since the crown by default can be infinite light and mushlights are stationary.

The crown being dupable is going to be removed before it hits console I imagine

and i dont get why, is an inconsistency of how green gems work

we only recieve 2 moon shards per every green gem shenanigan. If they keep it i will still fighting the boss to get 5 extra

you still can use them in festive tress tho 

sounds like they problem

 

Nice attitude there. People farmed them for a reason, it would be stupid to remove that reason. 

Also this entire argument is moot  because even if klei did make this change you can just use astral detectors instead of mushlights

Again for the third time: there is absolutely no reason for festive lights to be nerfed or changed.

Thanks for doing this!

 

edit: wait wait wait, it hasn't completely solved the problem, charged moon glass still break walls.

Imagine if you want to get lights for 125 glowcaps, the amount I roughly have around festive lights, and the only solution was to kill the boss 100 times, which takes 300 moon storms. Does that sound like fun? Because it certainly does not for me.

Yeah i get it its not fun, and no one forced you to build 125 glowcaps in first place

I really have to say that the crown was the only thing they did right in the update IMO.
Its functionality and appearance was perfect for an endgame item and should not have been changed :/ But now they even changed the only great thing.

I personally think the celestial guardian is kind of lame too in its look and bossfight design. They had so much hype and a solid base for anything to come in this update to be at least kinda nice but they really didnt go beyond that i think.
Maybe i had a little too high expectations but im a lttle dissappointed overall by the update and the hotfixes now.

Still appreciate your work, energy and passion you put in there Klei!
