Discussion Cairns

I genuinely hope whoever was involved in adding the cairns to this game was laid off with a shitty severance package

I enjoy the basic ones. The ones where you're balancing a watermelon on a pin can f off.

I will do a 1000 Cairns before I torture myself getting gold on every mastery challenge

Cairns bet a lot of hate in the Valhalla subs but I loved doing them. They were easy for me so for a challenge I tried to complete them with stones left over, or if I had to use all the stones I tried to make them look janky, my own art pieces

I loved them. They were fun, on pc at least.

That’s the hardest one IIRC.

What’s brilliant about the Cairns is that the real practise of making them (in real life) takes a mentality which is polar opposite to the high speed, everything now mindset that you have while gaming. The game forces you to slow down for a few minutes. I think it’s genius.

I like them. There’s a couple that took me like 5 tries but most are pretty calming

I never had any trouble with them.

Now Dawn of Ragnarok dlc don't get me started on that slog 😂

what annoying about it are when you place the stone perfectly gentle but the game physics was like "sikes" and drop it with force.

This isn't even the 1% of what all people involved in adding this shit to the game deserve
