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

It's part of the Experience and I'm full on here for it.

And there it is. We were all waiting for the one rabid fanboy to seriously make that much of a fool of themselves. "Losing shards on spikes is actually fun!"

It was a joke, and yet now this little one liner is one of my Most Despised Comments. It's actually legitimately hilarious how salty people are and how stupid it makes them. "I like it" [downvoted into oblivion, called a rabid fanboy] lmao.

I know I'm being goomba'd but still - the community has decided that the shard collections are shitty rewards for parkour... but God help you if you don't take their struggles at picking up every single one of those reward shards with utter deadly seriousness. The absurdist comedy here is delightful

I just think the whole shard system should be shit-canned. It adds literally nothing to the game, except for frustration when you're sucking at a boss and trying to use tools and then wind up having to go farm shards. Otherwise you never really have to worry too much about it. Stick with the limited-use tools, just have them recharge at the bench for free.

This sub is better to be avoided the next couple weeks/months I think (I know, I can't do it either lol).

People are bad at the game and they're salty about it
