Okay I hate to be the one that does this but honestly the Vex interaction got WAY worse than previous state?? The set up to get possessed atriums in order to add 5% damage each drone [max 20%] on regular mobs  THAT TURNS TO BE 4-5 on planar is something I wasnt expecting to - very underwhelming to say the least?? I was happy with the way shadow affinity was before because +25% was that and quick vex was kinda my jam but now it really dont feel like worth setup and effort to get that going. 

The drones can take the time to make it matter in small hp mobs also, but maybe that is me lacking rangebooster circuits [even tho I got the skill to amplify range], so I dunno :S

I feel it’s fine considering it applies to other players (I think I heard it was only other WX’s it might be a bug).

It just being unconditional damage buff was sorta uninteresting so it taking time to scan the small mobs makes it more unique.

[Mr Giggio]

Another thing - about the grabbing drones guys
If they go only for loot that already are in your inventory put intention on their actions - ignoring seeds or rot is usually a thing we do and I dont want them bullying me into drop the same item forever. It they check for whats already on your inventory to seek for more would be appreciated.

It would be cool if rangebooster circuit expands picking range of auto-grabber and also making that when the warm standby skill active and  having a spatializer circuit the item that picked up goes into spatializer circuit storage these two additions  would make auto farming viable for wx.

And how does that work with switching bodies? Seems kinda strange...

probably like the same before, if the chassis have the nighmare or atrium they gonna be able to use it, my dst is opening so i will test it now

it doesnt affect allies such as followers or shadow tentacles  right now, so it might not affect other players either

since its a lower damage value they could add that maybe. Though i have another idea of what they could do which i might suggest.

This is very disappointing I thought it this update would just be visual changes with some tweaks, before the wx update came out i was looking forward to playing as shadow affinity wx I preferred it to lunar then it was delayed and massively changed now it’s arguably worse.

[ZeRoboButler]

It would appear that the circuit functions as such with the tinkering skill active - 

• Wx no longer needs to electrify the clock work to befriend them, just hand them a gear
• Wx is no longer a target for non-befriended clockworks unless they provoke them
• Wx can have a max of 6 clockworks of each respective type (total of 18 clockworks at once) with full chess circuits, any additional befriended clockworks enter "standby mode", where if one of your 6 of that type of clockwork dies, they will follow after a space has opened up in your max follower count.  

[Lord-King-Bear]

Don’t see anything about sonic invocer blocking transfer. Idk if it’s console exclusive tho

[Hfdmdow]

this just seems worse to me i thought wed be getting like unique differences to game play between Fuel/atruim/horror like damage or defense or maybe teleporting with fuel or being considered a monster or something like adding fuel/atriums to chess piece followers to compete with lunar. i lke the idea of unlocking more bots but dont like the ones that were implemented like how it was before just seems better if you added some evil little drones that did something other the what the chasis did before like fight with you or buff allies that would make sense but this just seems like a down grade that clutters your screen

They despawn when you remove the heart or fuel you have so probably that

• W.A.R.B.I.S. Armor and Head Gear target lock in range is increased by Rangebooster Circuits with Beta Circuits Tinkering I.

Thank you. I like how WARBIS interactive with WX.
Also, I hope to have new WARBIS axe, so we don't need to use those expensive pick/axe or shadow maul to fight.

[YouKnowWho142]

it seems like this update broke a lot of things for lunar chassis, im glad to see so many bug fixes otherwise though

• Active temperature circuits will prevent the respective overheating and/or freezing overlays and animations.

Words cannot properly describe how thankful I am for this. This was such a pet peeve I had with WX so having it fixed makes me incredibly happy.

Also, skills being able to be selected by just double clicking? One of the best QoL things skill trees could receive just casually being thrown in at the end like its no big deal? 

The beanbooster qol change when swapping chassis is also very welcome. Seems like a pretty good update!

Going by its craft menu tooltip, I'm going to guess it's for raising the limit of befriended Rooks/Knights/Bishops you can have at a time. And it's a 1-slot Gamma circuit.

Yep, well this is a pretty obscure circuit. I Dont think wx-78 should be a "summoner" charracter Since we already have many on the game but I suppose that since all of this is optional with the circuits...I dont know, I'ts feels like a strange decision as a circuit but maybe its just me.

I agree this is a downgrade.  I didn't like lunar because of the setup but the shadow affinity seems worse.  I was expecting an auto turret setup that shoots shadow bolts or a robo shadow dog but these drones are kinda lackluster and with faster bosses they can't keep the debuff active to help with the damage.  Right now adding more chessmaster circuits does nothing adding more should increase more drones but lets be honest I don't want a ton of drones all over my screen.

it seems to make clockworks neutral, so it'll at least have a place for people uninterested in taming them. For people who do want to tame them, it's just another way to play WX that they don't need to interact with if they don't want to play them this way. I'm fine with the existence of this circuit.

Yeah 100% agree, still its abit weird for a Gamma , Perhaps I would push it more towards an option in the skill tree, Working great with the Telemechanical Enthusiast category.

I think its a neat item, idk how useful it'll realistically be, but it'll help out with ruins rushing since you get it from scanning a knight, and it makes clockworks completely neutral towards you. It's niche sure, but its not like gamma circuits exactly have a ton of competition, and the loadout the majority of people will run around with (2 spin-cycles) lets you slot one in for free. Sadly, the clockwork neutrality does not extend to ancient guardian, I tested it.

I still think the spatializer becoming a gamma circuit would be nice, since I really can't think of a situation where I'd ever actually need a 1 slot storage with infinite space, and slotting it into my gamma tray just to fill the slot might let me find out. Oh, and making it cost something that can be obtained pre-moonstorm would be nice too. I'm all for late game circuits, however when the 2nd furthest circuit in progression is the spin-cycle, having one locked behind right before rifts open feels a bit odd.

Im just happy we got a 1 slot gamma circuit.

[edulopes]

Well it feels something, the damage Nerf hits, and i dont know, something feels off in Will keep trying It, i dont know if It is the effect changes or the way they are made but the shadow changes Fell weird in some ways

[-Nick-]

I would like the shadow combat drones to stay locked to the target you are fighting. You lose the damage bonus too quickly due to them not scanning your target anymore. You are losing overall damage on top of the decreased damage boost from drones.

[Frashaw27]

Imma be honest, this update really destroyed shadow servaitor for me. chessmaster is neat, but the shadow servitor perk got butchered pretty hard. Sure, it maybe more "unique" compared to a flat +25% damage boost but they're now not only weaker but its also not universal for large multitarget fights. This does feel like the warbis armor as it is putting unneeded restrictions on the content for no good reasons. The shadow grabbers are also objectively worse as they now do the exact same thing with the same issues but now you now have less potential benefit. It also sucks that you can't use both drones at the same time as the heart doesn't fulfill the fuel need for the grabbers. The ability to eat nightmare fuel also isn't worth its salt as the circuits are not boosted in anyway and you don't really end up in scenarios where your not at max charge for the majority of your playthrough. The mass majority of the shadow alignment has been sacrificed for the lunar chassis'. It's to the point of the alignment basically has 0 realistic reasons to use over the lunar as the massive part of why it was a worthy trade, it's now a lot more of a hassle to get it to work much less make it good.

Didn’t realize Klei were all Warly mains the way they cooked on this one

Edit: almost cooked. I’m reading all the feedback and while the drones are cool, they do seem to be a massive downgrade on both the auto grab and damage boost department. Shadow Servitor is already much weaker than Lunar Vessel so I don’t get why we’re nerfing it.
