The 'You Have Been.. Sequenced' lunar 'buff' is awful and frustrating

[4th]

I just played a 2 hour game, used a lunar token on this little totem and it deleted all my items and gave me this:

I died about 30 seconds later because these items are awful and I had zero mobility.

Devs.. how is it worth using a lunar coin.

I get that it's supposed to be a 'luck' based thing but honestly after an entire 2 hours of grinding only to have it ruined by using something I thought was a buff.. felt kind of sour.

all Lunar coin things are a gamble. thats the point of them. sometimes you get amazing from it, most of the time you get boned. kinda like if you have a great healing build, then grab Transcendance.

Uhh, lesson learned I suppose?

I actually really like using them. It's wrecked me a number of times, but it's also created some pretty funny or awesome combinations that went on to be some of my most entertaining runs yet.

Oh and if you were wondering how it actually works, it takes all your items of each tier and turns them all into one of your items of each tier.

It's pretty much always going to screw you when you use it really late. However, if you use it early enough that you can survive to get some items to fill in the gaps it creates, you can get some nice setups (possibly). Three times now it's given me around 20 soldier syringes, for example.

also how did that many daggers stack up? did it proc multiple times in 1 hit or was it a dead item after 8 stacks?

Haha, I was 100 minutes in earlier and panic-paid a lunar coin to an order shrine. Ended my run with nothing but stun items 😅

One of my friends was playing Mul-T and used it. He got his items converted to leech seeds and energy drinks and ran around being invincible and 1-shotting things.

I used it and got 20 stun grenades. It was... less than useful. I died quickly. 10/10. Would ♥♥♥♥ myself again.

45 fireworks this one time. Opening chests was as rewarding as Legend of Zelda and triggering telis was a fanfair all its own.

It was dead at 8.

Lunar stuff in general is more of "let's spice the run up" rather than "let's p2w this". Some exceptions apply, like using newt statues to aid your 20 run and gesture of the drowned, but the design intention seems clear.

Shrine of order is really just finding 5 random printers and mashing all of your items into them. You could get lucky and conver tall of your items into Fungus and Opinion, but it's more likely to just not be that lucky.

Did you not know how the shrine worked when you used it? I wouldn't touch a lunar anything after 2 hours of running.

You might know already, but what it does is convert all your items of each rarity into one item of the same rarity... getting 20 wax quails is fun lol

[Nihil]

That's the RNG hell.

Actually it would be good to have some finetuning on this aspect of the game.
Since a lot of items are totally useless on some or many survivors.
It would be at least great to have the option to exclude some (around 5-10) items from the drop pool before you select a new game.
But to be honest. These 2 items you got are actually freaking awesome.

[ViperV]

you actually had good rerolls. if you find a decent 3D printer you can still remedy that one out. i had a reroll one time with 60 quails.i can front jump from one stage to the next 5 ahead of me lol

[Shinkyi]

happend same to me but i was lucky to do it while i had a celestial portal available ;p

[AshaMarie]

Funny when I triggered my very first one and they all combined into my mobility powerup. I was moving faster than sonic did in his games.

All lunar things are a gamble or a Positive effect with a negative. same for the sequencer ALL your items Get exchanged for 1 high stack. if its good or bad its luck.
