Shaped Glass: What you need to know. A PSA for the community.

[Spoon498]

Stacking shaped Glass! I've done it... lots of people have done it. But it didn't take long for me to realize that Stacking shaped glass sucks 99% of the fun from the game. I'm not saying don't do it but understand if you make it to late game it's just... no longer fun.

On a side note, if you are stacking shaped glass... please stop taking so much. You have literally zero need for on hit damage. If you have 4 shaped glass (more than enough) then your autos are doing X16 damage, if you get 100% crit you are really doing x32 damage. Yall should take less so that IF you die you give your team a better chance of survial. Like take Lens Makers and Tri tips and really... you don't need anything else. (not talking about mobility just damage items)

Thirdly please... don't be that guy that's "I'ma Stack shaped glass, oh and I want jesters too" you don't need it! You are Stacking Glass! let other people have their fun.

play solo?

Missed the part where I said "I'm not saying don't do it" Do what you like. My points are valid though ^^ thanks for your advice

Shaped glass is usually a good way to end the run w/o certain other items. People take it far to often w/o reason then end up dying easily. Makes for frustrating runs.

But all you need to do capped damage is 1 shaped glass.

Are you really doing 16x damage with 4 shaped glasses? I thought their stacked linearly. Exactly how much damage were you doing at what level?

PSA: The game can only show damage numbers up to 9999 but the enemies do take more than 9999 damage, the game just does not show this to us.

I agree with Spoon, and i have to add that it's exactly same thing with Gestures. Once you stacks more than 2-3 you remove the fun for other players.

I have played too many multiplayer games with someone cheating for infinite lunars, opening all the lunar shops, grabing all the shaped glass and/or all the gestures and then i can just afk and watch him kill eveything at spawning.
It also apply to people stacking the brittle crowns, and looting all the map by themself. Like while i wait the money to open 2 chests he already opened 10, and of course he didn't share the items he got (what did I expect anyway).
If you can't play this game without abusing the lunar shop and spending 10+ lunars per runs, you are probably not very good and should question your own skills.
Also if you rush the lunars items in the shop and buy all the good ones for yourself (i see that everytime), then you are just a selfish prick that should stay in solo.

Damage stacks exponentially. So 2^x where X is as many shaped glass as you have. Once I got 17 shaped glass which means a I was dealing x131,072 damage

Don't blame the players, blame the devs for making all the enemies huge bullet sponges that take ages to kill without the glass.

Much as I hate saying it, you should blame the run first.

Sometimes, I've had runs where everything is invulnerable but me, and shaped glass would just get me killed faster. Sometimes, I've had runs where I've never touched a single glass and I'm still auto-speed-murdering the entire map. Sometimes, I've picked up a royal capacitor and a Gesture of the Drowned and I FEEL THE POWER.

I'm personally not fond of the slot machine behavior myself, but it's a core gameplay element. I don't have any reason to believe it's ever going to change.

Actually, blame RNG on items.
I had run when everything died in a matter of seconds post 180 min, I also had run, where I couldn't kill anything, but was high on mushrooms at 30 min and literally only damage item I had was damn dagger.

You don't need glass and if you do, 1 is more then enough.

[Garble]

Actually
Blame blaming things
Blaming things sucks the fun of out things because it's something's "fault" that you're not doing well. There's a million factors, who cares, die or quit and just try again.

It's a fact when one guy can 1 shot everything in the game because they have 5+ shaped glass the game is not fun for at least 3 people. You could argue that getting to that point is fun. And that is true but for a game that keeps going indefintely I personally don't have a lot of joy in potentially breaking it before you've even completed your first loop. That's just me. Again everyone is free to pursue their own goals, but in a co-op game i think its important to at least take other peoples fun into consideration. That's all I was trying to say.
