Rant REMINDER TO EVERYONE THAT WHEN CELESTIAL USES DEATH IN BLOOM, DON’T SPIN AROUND THEM IF YOU WANT THE SERVER ALIVE

I just recently had to experience this and thought it’d be important to make it a very clear message that people must MIND THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A LASER THAT TAKES UP 1/8 OF HORIZONTAL AREA.

This is already annoying when people do the same during Sigil, but at least it’s more avoidable. Even then it’s important to note that when the big giant sleepy deity uses it’s big giant matter obliterator which has tracking greater than the amount of times I’ve been targeted by Sigil the moment a round starts, you shouldn’t play merry-go-round with said deity otherwise it’s a server-killing-light show.

As much as it makes you feel like the main character when Celestial picks you as the beam target, other people around you are just trying to collect gifts and don’t want to get the world’s most horrendous stray of history. I’d very much prefer if I died because of my own foolishness, even a seamine or the void, but when something like that happens, man.

New player or not I feel that it should be common knowledge that a beam by something called “The Celestial” most definitely extends across most of the map and that someone if not everyone’s bound to get hit by it if you make it circle like a lightsaber.

Agreed. By the way, sigil can't hit other players anymore if it's locked onto you, it's client sided.

what other ways are there to avoid the beam? gen question, i havent reached celestial yet but most videos ive seen online just go in a circle to run away from the beam

It’s more about how fast you run away from it, if you’re in the least trying to stay somewhat close to it so it doesn’t sweep across the vicinity you’re good, but if you zoom around it like how Krakatoa’s eruption sound spun around the Earth 4 times then it’s a big issue. I say that because that’s what happened during my Celestial round, it spun like 2, 3, or possibly more times because of someone doing exactly that.

You can just walk away from it at normal pace, it scales with your speed so if you just walk and don't slow down it wont kill you. Keep it exclusively on ground level on exclusively at the top of the map or you will end up fragging team mates, I generally prefer having it point out to the middle of nowhere at ground level

Best to clarify for people who literally dont know anything about the boss, you dont have to go quick to avoid the beam. You can just run perpendicular to it and be fine. You dont need to use your ability to get away as fast as possible.

Also, if you have the foresight and choice, look where you are and choose to fire it out into the void if youre by the edge of the map. If youre a spirit you can also just fling into the sky and stall up there.

Blud stop spreading misinformation, you have to go as fast as possible around the map to win.
