Are Lunacy and Anomalous Vision non-optional now?

[Critical Mass]

I just finished a Hard Manibus season and was going to start a fresh one. The new season servers all seem to have lunacy and anomalous vision. I hadn't realised that the lunacy stuff wasn't on a new map but is a setting used on the Way of Winter Map and now the Manibus map. Is that right? And now it isn't just a setting or even the standard setting. It is the only setting. Did I misunderstand?

lunacy is like new "Hard mode". there are still some hard mode server (without lunacy) but they are from before lunacy patch. after the patch lunacy replaced hardmode servers. i guess it stay this way till Lunacy even will end (in march?)
So yes lunacy is avaible to most likely all seasons with hard mode, esp manibus and WoW
its optional cos "normal" (and novice) seasons of all maps dont have lunacy

[Critical Mass]

But there aren't any normal or novice servers being made either?

I tried the new settings and I despise them. I usually use ale as my main drink in Manibus so I don't have to deal with insanity from polluted zones. You can largely avoid pollution zones until you have the crafting development to mass produce ale anyway so no problem. This new system had me suddenly at a fraction of my health without the ability to fix it making me a permanent one shot target. I guess I will waste my pass to quit the server I only just started and join the week old server which doesn't force you to play with what the devs presumably think is an upgrade that every new server has. If they haven't fixed this so you can play without lunacy by the time that server is wrapping up then I am done.

We will have novice and hardcore server (the hardcore are the one with the lunacy and anomalies). Don't thinks they will change it again, since a lot of player asked them for harder survival mode and they gived us a free xp lvl 50 5 hours after new server because with lunar you get a looooooooooooooooooooooot of xp by killing the mob that spawn at your lvl :D Most stupid things i've seen in a game. They wiped with 1 patch the whole game on hardcore. Why do dungeon or monolith boss when now you can drop better mod, more xp and lvl up faster by randomly killing enemy during lunar nigth :D

say again?
On EU server
Way of winter: no lunacy (so normal) server opened tooday, previous one 8 days ago (servers X66 and X64) ???
Manibus (normal) opened tooday, previous 8 days ago PVE X118, X116
Manibus novice have 3 new servers without lunacy in last 9 days, btw novice servers cant be "hard difficulty" as a result there is no such thing as novice with luunacy

You are either blind, posting drunk or are trolling, very badly
and like other user above said, it takes like 15 second to check that what you said is just a lie...

Is it possible the south east Asia servers just don’t have the same player base and have less games coming out? I am not trolling and not blind. I might be not understanding something but previously all types of Manibus games were listed where I was looking. Now they all have Lunacy except one from the 24th of January.

[Critical Mass]

I just checked again and I was right. Since the 13th of January there have been 9 new Manibus season games started. Only the one on the 24th of January does not have Lunacy apart from one Novice season that started on the 15th of January (none since).

No. You were wrong.

You said it. 1 =/= 0 (that's "1 does not equal 0" cuz I know you have no clue what those symbols mean together)

Lunacy Suppressant. It's a wonderful thing.
Also, the Lunacy is meant to make the game HARDER because people cry that the game is "too easy".
Yeah, you're a 1hko in the early part of the game. It's supposed to be that way so you learn how to NOT TAKE DAMAGE. Then, you gather up some Lunar Whispers at night from defeating enemies (which also removes a bit of sanity loss with each kill, enabling you to heal up slightly and survive longer), open some Lunar Oracle Chests (which contain Lunar food items, items that recover sanity even during Lunar events, and recipes to craft more of the Lunar food and healing items), and get stronger so you can survive even better.
Heck, I go through darn near every Lunar event with a UB build (I don't use the new armor meant to make Lunar events easier), 20% HP, and just destroy everything.
But, I understand that harder modes aren't for everyone so if you feel the need to play with the kiddie gloves on, then you do you. We all have to play within our gaming skillset.

I don’t know what your problem is or why you are fanboy defending against facts but there hasn’t been a non lunacy season start for a week and there hasn’t been a novice start for two weeks. Those are facts at the time I wrote them. You can pretend otherwise but being wrong and aggressive doesn’t make you right.

I understood your basic symbols. I suppose since you appear not to be able to read it makes sense that you would project your ignorance on others. In everything I wrote earlier I pointed out the non lunacy season I had to join was a week old and nothing since then had been made without it in SE Asia. When I later referred to the issue from an earlier date (the 13th) that doesn’t invalidate my earlier statements.
