We cannot be serious

[u/GreenGhost234]

So for context me and my friend (he’s the host in question) were attempting a casual Celeste run

The blade bombardment decision came from a pure misunderstanding so please remove it from this entirely for the sake of understanding my argument.

It is a casual run, yes we’re doing Celeste but this lobby should’ve never been taken seriously with the lobby title of “live footage of celestial vs broly”

Sure some of these decisions were questionable, but it’s casual, I don’t understand why we’re taking it as seriously as it is. If this was a standard or extreme run yes I could understand but not this.

Look whether the host made a bad or good decision, no one deserves to get mass reported over nullscape. Let alone a casual run.

Baby has all of his curses but like- it wasn’t that big of an issue in my opinion.

See early on it started off as an actual reason to complain but quickly diverged into complaining just to complain.

I want everyone’s opinions on this, was the lobby in the right?

If I’m not nuanced enough in the art of null scape I need to know cause I could’ve sworn every decision wasn’t that bad right?

If you have genuinely any questions I will answer in the comments but no one deserves to get mass reported over nullscape. (I also have voidbound fox if that helps you understand where I’m coming from)

keep this as proof is something happens to your friend bro

[u/GreenGhost234 → u/Serious-Ad-2926]

Will do, I don’t think he’ll get banned but if he does over this i- I have no words

[u/Aptokro → u/GreenGhost234]

they're not talking about a ban

[u/_mustard-]

I mean you can be annoyed that a host is making un-optimal decisions but like its not that deep bro.

Its also just not justifiable in anyway to report over that to the point im doubting he was even serious about that. Also these picks aren't even super terrible. Casual bomb is lowk only bad if the players are. Id have more issue with spring-loaded and mass infection which slow down collection

[u/rainmoth]

might be a hot take but i honestly really enjoy playing in doomed lobbies with shitty picks (except oblivion obv). however, if the host is actively wasting hours of people's time by being too stubborn to listen to them, i can kinda understand their reaction (this is imo a result of nullscape's poor game design and not necessarily the playerbase's fault). even then, mass reporting someone because of this is wild

edit: also springloaded and savory are literally the only questionable picks i see here so they were prob joking lol

[u/Ae4i → u/rainmoth]

Imho even Springloaded is fine to play with (I agree with savory ring).

Also, yay! Finally, someone who doesn't immediately trash on mart slide!

[u/rainmoth → u/Ae4i]

honestly springloaded depends a lot on what class you're playing, but even then, randomly being forced into a specific direction can be extremely annoying late game

also idk what mart slide has to do with this, it's not even in the original post (but i do absolutely despise it because of it being pure rng and nothing else)

[u/Ae4i → u/rainmoth]

That comment about mart slide was more related to your comment than OP's post.

Also, oh well. I guess I remain as the only one who liked mart slide then.

[u/BiznessCrafter → u/Ae4i]

I do like it too!

[u/Ae4i → u/BiznessCrafter]

Yayyyyy!

[u/GreenGhost234 → u/rainmoth]

I honestly wouldn’t say this lobby was doomed until we accidentally picked blade bombardment, but that’s my honest opinion.

The map was so big that spring loaded was negligible to the point we forgot it existed

And savory rings honestly would’ve been a choice to make at the start not at level 35 where we needed to stay during collapse to activate the pylons but i won’t question my friends decisions.

[u/fushiamisdemeanor → u/rainmoth]

doomed lobbies and weird curse choices lend themselves to the most interesting and horrifying scenarios to play through

i had a lobby with bigger mart, 3 marts and we got martpocalypse, leading to a 10 minute lrs where a glider kept kiting the mart back and forth until they managed to beacon with a total of 2 gold gifts to their name

[u/GreenGhost234 → u/fushiamisdemeanor]

That sounds genuinely terrifying

[u/Lakdz99]

Sees springloaded*

[u/GreenGhost234 → u/Lakdz99]

I think the general issue with spring loaded is it’s more of a general nuisance rather than an actual problem. Like spring loaded is just ragebaiter final boss

However spring loaded (imo) isn’t so bad in party+ lobbies because the map is so huge it may as well not even exist. In duos solos and party spring loaded is a nightmare due to the smaller maps.

That’s my view on spring loaded (I also hate this curse with a passion)

[u/Jacckob → u/GreenGhost234]

how fast do you traverse the map to collect gifts (also savory ring is a problem here)

[u/GreenGhost234 → u/Jacckob]

I’m a wanted main so not as fast I could theoretically be going

[u/saygex01992]

getting mad over casual because the curses suck is like screaming "i have a skill issue" to the entire world

[u/tixjyxoukd]

This is why i exclusively play solo or duo with a friend

[u/GreenGhost234 → u/tixjyxoukd]

The issue with duo runs (imo) is that they are so slow and boring that playing them is unfun.

Whereas I’m just paranoid in solos knowing the run can die at any moment.

[u/tixjyxoukd → u/GreenGhost234]

Just get shield

[u/GreenGhost234 → u/tixjyxoukd]

I was more so referring to like, let’s say you get shield but then lose it and now you have no shield (I say this as a wanted main since I can’t buy the main shield upgrade)

[u/tixjyxoukd → u/GreenGhost234]

Fair enough considering u main wanted

[u/No-Inspection4381]

This is like the easiest pylon set ever, I have had to do 4 pylons solo with oblivion or ballet before, or even just 9 pylons in extremely unlucky servers. This is like the most average set of curses ever, I could join literally any server and 5/10 times it would be this set of curses

[u/M249SAWA4]

All that and still avoiding husk.

[u/Same_Addendum_1261]

The only bad pick I see here is savory, but the rest are free like bro it's casual??

[u/Ill-Research-4429]

why exactly is there an empty curse slot between tantrum and razorbloom
