Those glowey capsule things

The ones that can either give a bonus, or poison you or burn you or whatever.

I hate them.

About 80% of the time when it offers a bonus, it wont work, and then when it does work, it's very rarely worth all the effort and the very good chance that instead of recieving "yaaay, jump boost" you'll instead just die.

It's just got to the point where I never open them, because there almost as much a chance that you'll have a very quick and unnecessary death, as there is to get a very minor temporary boost.

And when it's possible to have it kill, not just you, but also your pet, causing you to lose it forever, thaaaaaaaat is a roooyal pain in the behind.

 

They are severely borked right now. They're not supposed to kill you and it will be fixed down the road, maybe in this coming update.

I like to troll groups passing by pods on multiplayer servers. Whatever is inside the gas cloud dies, and when you watch a group of 5-6 people all die at once it's pretty sadistic, and funny.

 

Are people really going to keep repeating this thread again and again? Plis to use the search function, it saves soooo much time!

 

What would one search to look for "My personal venting session in which I complain because a goddamn capsule killed my pet"?

 

Well hopefully they've taken notice and realize something needs to be done with them

I completely agree with everyone else though. They're sooo dangerous that the risk/reward is so skewed they're pointless. The idea behind them isn't bad, but the implementation needs a lot of work. I completely ignore them after getting burned so many times, which is likely not what Chucklefish intended for them.

I'm pretty damn sure it's going to be fixed, and...
...After literally 15 seconds of searching.
Locking.

 

It is kinda hard to search for something when more than half of the people don't even know that it's called a capsule. So I heard you there, but sometimes just looking through the first few pages of general will land you results.
