I just created a account here to talk about WX Shadow version

[Victor1226]

First I think the drones look cool but they are are too intrusive and annoying on screen and all the time plus now we have to choose between the grabbers drones or the ones for combat. The old shadow version was so much better,less intrusive and you could have the damage buff plus the shadow grabbing stuff for you. Once again buffed Lunar getting a bunch of QOL stuff to the clones and nerfed Shadow even though is makes no sense. The only thing added was the ability to eat nightmare fuel, now why change the simple but nice shadows grabbing stuff for you to screen pollution drones that can't even do the two tasks of gathering and buff together?

It’s pointless. They’ve stopped listening. That heap of garbage has officially been dished out.

[JazzyGames]

In what situation would you need damage buff plus auto-foraging at the same time?

New version is way better because you are not constantly removing the atrium every time you return to base, then forgetting to re-imbue before battles. It was deeply intrusive and the separation of these abilities was by far my favorite aspect of the affinity rework.

Auto-grabbers are terrible. When held by the player, they identify items to collect based on the inventory—like the W.O.B.O.T., for example. However, instead of being fully automatic, they only activate when you start collecting manually, and that is AWFUL.

If I have one Grass in my inventory and walk past a Grass patch, it doesn't pick it up automatically; it waits for me to grab one manually and only then checks if there are other items nearby to collect. What’s the point of it being automatic only when mounted on a chassis?

To me, the logical way would be: if I have one Grass in my inventory, the auto-grabber should automatically collect 39 more and stop once the stack is full (40 Grasses, for example). If I wanted to collect more than one stack, I’d just put one Grass in multiple slots (e.g., 3 slots with 1 Grass each), and the auto-grabber would fill those 3 slots automatically for a total of 120 Grasses. Wouldn't that make much more sense?

Auto grabbers can’t even use infinite storage that should be a simple qol that it should have. Like why don’t auto grabbers use specializers baffles me

Os coletores automáticos nem sequer conseguem usar armazenamento infinito, o que deveria ser uma simples melhoria de qualidade de vida. Por que os coletores automáticos não usam especialistas? Isso me deixa perplexo. 

Não sabia disso. Mesmo com o Warm Standby da skill tree ativo nao não funciona ?

for him everything is perfect everything is good , ur making me feel like u have to say that to stay as a klei content creator .  

theres noway a wx player would say something like this to the shadow skills , be real we know u want to support klei but be honest at least

TBH, I got no idea why so many ppl are disappointed about wx's shadow affinity skill. He's one of the most interesting and strongest character ingame rn.

My guy got progressive power gameplay, start from 100/100/100 stats with wetness weakness, to 360/200/100 stats+1.5x spd and 1.26x dmg multiplier+ 3 PTP teleportation+free armor from mimicreep. And I really like this kind of progressive gamestyle, instead of reaching max power at d1 like woodie and willow.

Wx is a character that can boss rush cc and fw b4 d50 while rich of end game mechanic. Would u mind describe why you're mad with it's shadow affinity so much?

This is such a low brow response I don’t even know where to start. If you were familiar with my content you’d know that I am incredibly outspoken when it comes to criticism about DST. But I can’t address anything in your response because you didn’t respond to anything I actually said.

It feels weird to even have to say this but no, white-knighting for Klei is not a requirement for being an Ambassador and is sometimes detrimental. We know that devs are far from seeking overwhelmingly positive feedback for new content because it is less useful to them than honest criticism.

Suffice it to say I really don’t appreciate the ad hominem attack. It’s actually possible for a content creator to be critical of the content, believe it or not. I’ve played over 1k days as WX since the beta started. Appreciating the things they get right is not equivalent to brown-nosing; I appreciate that most users here seem to understand that.

The foragers kinda suck and pick up random stuff and there isnt signs they will change that. I find it so nessisary since they are mainly a hinderance day to day.

Yeah. I feel like it makes sense for Woodie thematically and gameplay wise, but his moose being balanced for post riff makes it weird.

It's ironically kinda underpowered for rifts compared to other cheap options ironically enough like it's doable but you are actually generally making combat harder.

It's largely the screen clutter. I don't have an issue with 4 bots because I use controller, but i understand it. Tbh it should have just been one drone flying around applying a temporary buff similar to the tentacle. It would have been more consistent and had less clutter.

Not only this, but with the split in shadow 2.0 (that I am aware of from my checks) they didn't give pure horror anything that shadow atrium gets. Shadow atrium gets the random loot tree things and mimicreep along with their bots and pure horror just gets the bots.

Not only this, but I feel there should have been an option to recombine both for people that liked having it together especially since the pure horror didn't get anything special to itself.

it would have been a little nicer if it just tried to pick stuff up that is already in your inventory. I guess it's convenient for mass cleanups tho? still it is what it is

I mean is the lunar side really that creative? It's just a different flavor of followers. Yeah they're more intelligent but still.

I feel you are selectively ignoring other perks, don't ya?

Auto picker is actually viable, which you can place in base to do all the harvesting chores. And you can further increase their range by using range booster circuit+warm standby, that requires you to set up.

Usable mimic items will make u learn how the cave duping mechanic works. And you need time to set the duping farm up too, furthering learning how to make this perk works efficiently.

Aren't those stuff above interesting to experience? 

If you are pissed by wx shadow affinity, then Wilson, Wolfgang, Woodie, Wigfrid, Wendy and Wurt's affinity skill must pissed you off so bad

don't even reply

some people's entire personality is hating and complaining, it is what releases dopamine

you need to identify the archetype early and disengage
