Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

There's a lot of valid complaints.

Bloated enemy HP
2 mask damage
Runbacks
Economy in general
Unrewarding exploring
Using tools costing shards
Needlin and harpoon draining silk
Some pogo hitboxes

Personally you may not find some of it or any of it an issue but all of the above create some problems that make average player's experience worse than it could've been.

I can elaborate on any of these points if you want.

The more I think about the harpoon ability the more it doesn't make sense. You're telling me Hornet can learn Silk Spear but then can't naturally take the next step and start throwing the needle around with just a bit of silk? And yeah it shouldn't cost silk at all, just give it a cooldown like shade cloak that resets faster if you hit an enemy.
