Dump the current shadow affinity, its clunky and messy, instead the shadow affinity should allow Wx to craft mini-gear statues that when given nightmare fuel or during new moon, mini versions of the shadow clockworks are spawned and the slotted nightmare fuel, pure horror and corrupted shadow atrium changes what tier it is 1-3.

Working jobs like picking plants and what not, should be given to the possessed chassis'.

your idea is just lunar affinity but for shadow

Plugs in shadow parts to send out robotic shadow sonar waves around him giving him an aura that effects either him, nearby Ally’s, or enemies

Hey guys, just a heads-up regarding tomorrow's update.  We're thinking of keeping the Shadow alignment part of the tree locked, so that we can continue working on it in the beta branch.

Changes

• Possessed Chassis
  • Can now detect actions performed by the player spinning.
  • Improved kiting behaviour.
  • Will now try to use max attack range when equipped with a ranged weapon.
• Nutribrick is now in the Plant Registry Fertilizers tab and can be properly researched.
• Disabled Shadow Servitor skill while it is undergoing some changes.
• Disabled Year of the Clockwork Knight.
• Like chess, each player is now limited to 2 of each type of Clockwork followers at a time. (WX-78’s limit is 3 per type.)

 

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Possessed Chassis not being immune to electric damage.
• Fixed Possessed Chassis getting stuck in place using Spin-Cycle until they get dizzy.
• Fixed Possessed Chassis repeatedly swapping between weapons with the same damage during combat.
• Fixed being able to revive by haunting a Possessed Chassis.
• Fixed a case where Incursive Gestalts can get stuck when trying to possess a Chassis.
• Fixed Possessed Chassis not using the proper animation when attacking with blow darts.
• Fixed Possessed Chassis stats not being saved when going dormant.
• Fixed Possessed Chassis not dying when their leader dies.

Im happy yall decided to not do the full release. I know yall are hard at work and we appreciate it. Sorry were so picky lol.

Personally disappointed in this change. Maybe it makes sense but that doesn't mean I like it. 

I'm also disappointed. That should've stayed an event thing and not become a permanent feature.

Exactly, lunar affinity has always been geared towards lategame supremacy over shadow affinity but shadow affinity is far more convenient to obtain. Shadow can be purely combat orientated with lunar having both combat and farming abilities for the much higher cost and micromanaging.

Atleast the shadow clockworks make sense, why would wx control mimics?

because to get  a possessed atrium yiu need to feed a shadow atrium to a mimic, with make the atrium become possessed, so i ask you, what is possessing the atrium? a mimic, and for the rest of your comment, if both affinities are so similar, it lose the meaning of choosing a side

The mimic has zero robotic thematic connection to Wx other than simply placing the possessed atrium in.

Mimics are organic looking with their eyes, which Wx hates. 

Ok i gave you the point that its abit similar to the lunar affinity. But so is the current version, both is some sort of minion control. 

How about the shadow affinity instead focuses on buffing Wx with no mob focus with Wx becoming his own "shadow clockwork" with each slot of different fuel turning wx into his own tier 1-3 shadow clockwork form which lasts for a set period of time which Wx gets all sorts of buffs. The shadow part gets consumed eventually with nightmare fuel getting consumed fast and possessed shadow atrium lasting a long time.

This is much better and thematically fitting, shadow clockworks look more organic in nature, wx shadow form could make him "more organic" which fits the corruption theme.

Better than stupid mimics, lol klei ye dropped the ball here tbh

Edit: slotting 10 nightmare fuel causes the transformation for tier 1 lasts half a day, 5 pure horror lasts 1 day for tier 2,  possessed shadow atrium tier 3 lasts 5 days for mega buffs like old school overcharged speed etc etc.

some people dont want to play wx as yet another minion character. that's who shadow affinity is for. Mimicreeps are not organic, and the point anyway for shadow affinity not to be robotic but to be shadowy in nature. Combining shadow components with the circuit board is about as thematic as it gets.

But the shadow affinity is minion control atm. Atleast visually soooo?

Shadow clockwork form lets gooooo!

he get more than just the mimic, and although i agree in part about the thematic, theres a guy that already made a topic about that, i recommend putting your ideas there to get more feedback, i got some of my ideas there too

Didnt see the thread tbh, he also had shadow clockwork form idea?

My man! 

Atleast someone else on the forums has good ideas like me

not exactly, put he gave ideas of a more robot centered shadow affinity and asked for ideas from other members of the community

[V2C]

Just a heads up guys, since we're continuing beta branch as well, we'll do a small hotfix shortly to re-enable the existing shadow affinity in beta while we work on changing it, as well as bring the new skins into this branch as well.

[Gashzer]

To expand on the shadow clockwork form idea,

Slotting nightmare fuel into the shadow affinity slot gets instantly consumed, lowering wx's sanity by 10 and slowly corrupting his circuit tab. After consuming 10 nightmare fuel, corruption maxes out and overrides all of wx's equipped circuits and disables them turning wx into his tier 1 shadow form with its own stats and abilities for half a day. After corruption ends the circuits are reactivated but wx loses all his charge.

This would apply for the tier 2 and 3 forms too. 

This way a build which isnt focused on the very dominate circuit skills can be made. Using the shadow affinity as a powerful but temporary replacement for circuits during combat, allowing for heavy skill investment into drone/chassis/utility skills.

This gives wx players freedom to choose diverse playstyles.

Edit: corrupted shadow form wx, can "spread" his corruption to any chassis he transfers to allowing him to maintain his shadow form while chassis teleporting regardless of circuits.

This is indeed a drawback, and I don't oppose removing it in advanced circuits. However, the main point of my statement is more about the two types of hearts. They can perform more differentiation and more functions, but there's no need to completely remove the part for circuit upgrade inheritance. It still depends on the designer's own ideas.

although theres people want to remove that part, a good amount give the idea of it having a toggle to turn on/off

Hello, I’d like to share a small QOL suggestion. I propose disabling structure alignment for Jimmy like boats. I hope you consider adding this to the game.
