the pulsar gut is pretty good and mage isn’t as much of an issue as it used to be
the shark hunting attachments are cool on paper but like, you get reduced drop rates if you don’t use them which kind of sucks because as a weapon user i found it cool that you could fight sea monsters underwater
i also found it pointless that they are locked to different stat routes and grinding sealed chests just to end up getting the one that doesn’t fit your stat route is annoying
my biggest complaint with the diving points is how annoying it is to manage stamina but apart from that exploring them is cool and the underwater structures are also pretty cool aswell (i cant tell the difference between a diving point and an underwater structure)
the entire bronze sea is literally shark infested waters swear to god i cannot go more than 5 seconds underwater without being jumped by 4 tiger sharks
i like the easter event finding eggs and shit is cool but like the rng ones like the asteroid egg are a pain to find
the stat reset is heavenly thank you vetex 
Honestly it could be one of many things
If anything from this was to be added, then it’d probably be strong blast as a somewhat high req (for hybrids/savants) rare spell so like 90-120. Honestly though would like for the burst attack to be a close range forward explosion.
those are lost spells tho
Diving points either have like 1 normal shark that dies from a single musket shot or 5 tiger sharks, a poison jaws, and my deceased grandpa in a shark cosplay

That is true but it’s also from an archived trello. Although we can absolutely agree that things like transformation and meteor would remain lost spells. Mostly talking about the arguably weaker ones which is basically 2 (1 repurposed to be closer ranged). Although now that I reread Strong Blast if it was to have/be a rare spell it would have to be toned down so yeah that sounds like a lost spell.
Zone and Burst Attack seem simple enough to be turned into rare spells

all i can imagine is the hells kitchen sound effect as white eyes slowly comes on screen
holy shit
Zone seems like a “modified explosion” spell if you want to overly simplify it, so it could probably be around 100 or even 200 magic level depending on it’s usage. For example, if it can be used to trigger catalyst status to be applied constantly, then it’s an instant 200 or even higher.

Since Pulsar got nerfed everyone’s eager to gank a mage like me, so no more villains and enemies running away just because I have a chance to unleash a Pulsar Spell, yay.
Update is okay, not a lot of new content and endgame is still dry but at least I can jump people without them running away
The entire player base against mages after v1.12:
(There isn’t a single one of these without the “let him get up” voice over)
Anyways, imagine apocalypse bringer with a pulsar spell or enhanced variant
apoc bringer with nerfed pulsar? pssh…
the thing i hate is that last egg, it is soo rng based it makes me wanna delete sandfall
Imagine Pulsar but original size (if not bigger) and knockback

what if apoc bringer has really bad damage tho
My experience with the new update has been fairly mixed.
Besides some of the eggs being unnecessarily arduous to get such as the bronze egg or the asteroid egg, I am of the belief that the event is a massive improvement over the Halloween and July 4th events, and overall I think it was very well handled. However, having the eggs be shoulder accessories instead of head accessories is kind of disappointing, since I was looking forward to the various cosmetic combinations I could use them for. The egg lantern’s probably my favorite event item, since the colors weren’t as obnoxiously neon as I was expecting and the pink flame is a neat addition to some ships.
I expected diving points to be treasure chart levels of a nuisance to do, but overall they turned out really well. The sharks are very bothersome though (especially on my thermo/plasma save, where my only option is to M1 them which is about as annoying as it sounds) and it’s a nightmare trying to find chests with the visibility at the bottom of some of the deeper areas.
I haven’t really tried the shark hunting attachments, but from a couple videos of the harpoon gun, they do abysmal damage on a full warrior build which I’m guessing is some kind of damage scaling bug.
Sharks are unbelievably common now (I’m guessing since before the update, old servers heavily reduced their chances of spawning), but personally I don’t mind all that much (outside of diving points, where it) since it’s preferable to spending 10 minutes trying to find any shark.
The performance is noticeably worse than before the update (which was already less than desirable for me), at least in my experience which is easily and by far the biggest letdown I’ve had with the update (besides doing the event on a 2nd save, and not getting the event items upon completing it, but that’s solely my fault for forgetting to delete the badge).
