new scary monster in the dark area

[Ooga Booga Bart Simpson]

needs to actually be dangerous and the place it sends you also needs to be dangerous. with 3 people it was a non event

I found it to be pretty dangerous itself but then it just gives up and sends you to oopsie land. The whole thing would be more interesting if there were ways to actually effectively hide from him and the stakes were increased, like maybe he KILLS you to send you to the night realm.

There's not really much difference. If you die, you respawn and start back at the beginning of the Security Sector. If you get caught, you get sent to time-out land and end up back at the beginning of the Security Sector the time it takes you to reach the exit portal being about the same as the amount of time it takes to reach the Security entrance from the Office Sector's cafeteria.

Yeah, this wasn't exactly very interesting. It was especially a bother since we'd frequently bump into him while looting, get sent to funny world, then have to find our way out, which is fun the first time or two but then it becomes such a bother.

Eventually we just would aggro him and sprint right back to the laser before hand, or hide in one of the storage rooms and shut the door so he'd be focused on whoever upset him.

Farming the night essence is also kind of a drag since shining the X-ray on him only seems to drop it once every minute or so? It doesn't feel clear when we should expect it. Some better visual indicator of when he's spent on those would be nice, like his tendrils burning in the X-ray and then growing back when ready or some such.

The other world was interesting to look at, but it was just so bland otherwise.

Or 059 shows up in the Nightrealm to chase you. That'd make the lore bits a bit tedious to get though...

And why is the Night Realm... not... dark? It's always light in the Night Realm. And there are NO threats there.

It's actually one of the safest areas in the whole game. I never even saw a Leyak in there. Even once.

While I was working through the security zone I'd deliberately run at the reapers so they'd send me there. There's a power plug on the side of the computer console next to the inky water. I'd set down a charger plate, and recharge my night vision goggles and headlamps.

It reminds me a lot of the Scadulands in Shadow of the Erdtree dlc for Elden Ring.
Despite that being "Shadow"land, it was very bright there.
I think "Night" in this sense is simply referencing afterlife.

Well, its supposed to like a "Twilight Realm", personally, that eternal autumn feel is really nice.

Yea I think they were doing a Dreamscape/Pan's Labyrinth/the Cell, Erdtree was too recent for it to be anything but a coincidence I think.

I suggest that relm not allowing teleporters to work and he needs backup for more players

What would "no teleporters" even do? There's only one place you can actually teleport to there, and it's right next to where he drops you off.

Guessing he means the "Personal Teleporter" that you use to return to whatever bench you sync'd.

I figured, but that would still not do much, since the Night Realm is just a walking simulator.

[Ooga Booga Bart Simpson]

well thats what I ment is personal teleporter but if the night realm had dangers it would make it dreadful not dull
