Pticman Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Just think about the numbers for one second to realise how unbalanced their spawn frequency is > One year last 70 days, The whole lifecycle of one rift takes 22 days on average (5 days to spawn, 9 days first + second stage, 8 days third stage), Each rift creates 5 waves of bright shades on average, 2.5 bright shades each wave, In total 70/22×5×2.5≈40 brighsthades each year that has to be cleaned, it is 40000 planar damage that needs to be dealt (not even including the vines!). If you want to convert it to normal damage it is about 50000/60000 damage depending on the weapon and character used. So in general, the player is forced to kill an additional toadstool each year. You can consider it as antlion with ×10 more hp. It might be fun first, but the longer the world last the more tedious this process is going to feel. In the future the situation might be changed with new updates, but as for now I don't see the point of entering the hard mode except "wow, it is something new" aspect of the fresh content.

Tranoze Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 In solo player world, yeah, i can see that. But in world that constantly have 8~10 players online (pubs), i rarely have a chance to face bright shades as they got kill on spots for new gears, which make me wanna disagree with this post title as i want more bight shades to spawn. Maybe it's spawn frequency should scale with amount of players playing on the server.

dois raios Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I dont think it should be decreased, but I have no arguments, it is just my opinion.

_zwb Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think brightshades should be removed. Jokes aside, this update seems flawed as the developers hint at a counter to the annoying brightshades is coming soon, but they released this monstrosity without proper counter anyways.
