Im scared tds might actually screw this up given the direction the event has headed these past three nights.
TDS has hyped up the return of umbra since as far as I can remember summer of 2022, even as far back as january 2022 when the solar eclipse event was wrapping up.
They executed the return of penumbras amazingly story wise (gameplay wise it was a horrid return he was a fodder part 1 boss but he does help us through nights 2 and 3), but with umbra theres only one part left of the event, and given the trajectory, im worried night 4 is just not gonna be good at all.
Solar requiem has already failed up to live up to solar eclipse when it is the spiritual successor to it in every single way, only being better story wise (which solar eclipse had a lack thereof because we didnt get a real story until 2023, 2 years after solar eclipse), and if night 4 makes umbra some piss easy fodder boss and doesnt do night 4 justice and doesnt bother to introduce new enemies like the past 2 nights (which hopefully shouldnt happen given the remakes of the lunar and solar guardians are in our only teaser of night 4), then its just gonna be sad.
Hoping night 4 doesnt end up being just mid, it needs to be exceptional otherwise nearly five years of buildup for what.

I think that Devs cared more about the lore itself than the gameplay. It would be really nice if they made the night 4 unforgettable with some sort of mechanics or enemies that could make the gameplay much harder. But personally I find this mode cool and to be honest, I play it only for umbra and penumbras' lore lol

considering the standards that are set (we were explicitly told by the devs verbatum that "night 4 was gonna blow our minds"), night 4 cant just be another chunk of exposition where theres no gameplay and your practically placing towers while listening to an audio book
The final act was a very expository event where you had to read most of the dialogue to get the full picture, but the map changing helped do a lot of visual storytelling (and the voice acting wasnt ear torture unlike most of tds's dialogue), while the gameplay remained interesting. Granted the gameplay itself and enemies did practically zero storytelling, but the final act still managed to reveal a huge HUGE portion of tds's lore.
This is what story based events like solar requiem should strive to be. Having good gameplay while keeping the dialogue simple and not to long so you dont have to take breaks from the gameplay itself to read a yap session. Alongside visual storytelling that should be continued why dont we have map changing anymore like in krampuses revenge. - 1Edited 3 hours ago

ngl even though i don't like hard mode being easy, i think that the event being easy is actually a good thing in a roundabout way, because then people who usually just spam strats against hard events can actually try to think on their own and have a chance, and (at least for night 3,) it's not completely free
