Korrigan's Gold feedback
In advance, I apologize for the redundancy since it has already been partly mentioned. So far, I've seen nothing but attention to detail and careful choice. Therefore, I would like to give feedback because it confuses me too much. The following is just my opinion.

- The collection method present before was perfect while being improvable with a punishment for a missed early collection, an excellent idea. It was fluid because there was no "latency" between collections and dynamic because the player had every interest in interacting to obtain an early collection. The player was invested in the process which was satisfactory to him.

- The two new and only methods available abandon fluidity. The “Long Press” keeps a dynamic side but is hell for people who are prone to tendinitis. The "Short Press" induces a double tap between each collection on the same source during an early collection, which is laborious for nothing.

- Attacking, parrying, and dodging are no longer actions that cancel collection (maybe it was not intended). This results in collecting becoming out of step with the rest of the gameplay instead of being part of it. In practice the player will tend to become much more cautious since "getting stuck" in collection can easily result in death in no time. The intense and exciting gameplay previously available is now just a memory.

That ends the feedback, despite the title it is not a feedback of the new content. What follows are the various things I noticed.

- It would be better if interaction priority went to downed golems before collectible resources.

- When the magma golem is hit, it produces a "glare" due to its size. I prefer dark for gaming so it probably affects me more than the average person.

- There is no confirmation when leaving a game session. Annoying for the same reason as deleting a save'slot.

Sorry for the translation which is probably not optimal. Courage for the future

Dash, Parry or attack to cancel the harvest is an omission on my part. It will come back real soon. For the rest, I do not agree that the earlier version was better. More and more people, quite vocal against the new version in the hours that followed the update are now starting to consider that it's not so bad after all. I don't say this one particular version is final, but I'm not rolling back to the earlier one because "it was better". The new version is different and it serves other purposes, more important purposes for the end game.

Prioritizing Golem is certainly something I can try to do and a good idea I think.

Yeah, sorry for the lack of confirmation pop ups. That's one of several "tiny" things that didn't make it for this patch because of my recent flu :(

This is the biggest problem. I'm happy to hear it.

I understand and don't ask anything since it's not my game. Normally, I wouldn't have said anything if there hadn't been a regression. Note that I did not give my opinion before having taken in hand the new mechanics ; this is a minimum of respect. It is difficult to estimate at this time how this will still affect the game once the first point is corrected.

Yes, I suspected that. And I also ignored it to give an objective opinion (although very personal) on what is present now.

There is nothing to excuse; health is important. I hope you take the time to recover well. Otherwise, fatigue could persist for months.

Have a good day

Under current conditions, this is perfectly acceptable. The counterpart for enabling other purposes is almost zero in the worst case.

Congratulations
