Are big capsules...

    Are big capsules still usually insta-death and not worth interacting with?

    I think they toned down the insta-death part, but the overall worth is still debatable.

    I haven't been killed by one since the update, but I haven't opened many....The best use for them is still as random lights at night or in caves.
     
  5. Yep they no longer instagib you, I've opened tons of them and the worst effects they have now is either poisoning or burning you. Just be sure to check your hp before opening them.

    I actually modded my capsules so instead of instant death, it's a relatively large explosion that deals a good chunk of my HP.

    To everything around me as well, of course.

    Personally I like them, they make travelign a ittle faster if you get jump boost, give you soem light at night time, or health regen that you can use for a little bit.

    Of course they still might hurt you, but not by much.

    If you open capsules in Multiplayer, they always give negative effects

    However in singleplayer,it's somewhat 50-50, I get jump boost most of the time and if not I get the poison effect

    I haven't usually had too many bad experiences with the capsules since the update, most of the times I usually acquire speed boosts or jump boosts.
    I would sometimes get poisoned but most of the time I wouldn't even bother with them, just the chance of getting poisoned is a pain in the ass.

    The capsule god hates me, I only get poison and burning.

    That's good to hear. I was afraid to open them, since they used to insta-kill me. I'll try one the next time I see one, although I do personally think that all negative capsule effects should be harmless and funny, like being turned into a newt, uncontrollable screaming, or losing all the coal you have on your inventory.

    How I felt at release with these mysterious ambiens floating around each biome.

    I wish that they'd have something a little more special that just an instant stim when you open one.

    If the buff lasted longer than your regular stim, it'd be more worth it.

    A stim that disguises you as a mob swag swag
