Re: Most Frightening Moment
Umm... Warpers deal hardly any damage. And you can just slap them with a knife once and they’ll leave you alone for about 10 minutes. They’re more of a nuisance, teleporting you out of your vehicles.
Not when there are multiple at once slashing a fourth of your health off, in 50 degree water, 1000+ meters down.

Most Frightening Moment
What moment, even if it wasn't really all that bad, was the most frightening or scary for you playing?
Re: Most Frightening Moment
The moment when I was walking through the corridor that links the Lost River and ILZ, on my way to get some Kyanite, and having to dodge the 10 Warpers that are in there for some reason.
Everything went perfectly well, I got my Kyanite, and began the journey back home. But on the way back, every single Warper decided that it wanted a piece of me. Nearly every single one teleported me out of the PRAWN, sliced me, and chased me down. I'd never seen them so hostile, but almost every encounter was a near death experience for the PRAWN or myself.
The last Warper was the most challenging, as I was running dangerously low on water, and moved with the speed and grace of a crippled snail. It repeatedly teleported me back to its claws. I was honestly not sure what would kill me first, the Warper, dehydration, or running out of air.
After nearly a straight minute of barely taking med-kits in time before the Warper's slash knocked me back down to almost dead, I was out of water, and started taking damage from that as well. I took my last two med-kits and prayed that I would be able to survive. Then, by some miracle, I was able to dodge one of the Warper teleportation balls, get to my PRAWN, escape the Warper, jump into the relative safety of the Lost River, and scarf down on the only thing I had the speed to catch, Jelly Plants.
I barely survived with 10 health, about 30 health on my PRAWN, and just enough water to make it back to my base in the Cove Tree area.
And keep in mind, this was all in Hardcore. I'd already been killed by a Warper in my last Hardcore attempt, deleting 40 hours of gameplay, and I'd spent even more time on this file. I'd been dreading this exact trip for Kyanite for the entire game, and then the worst happened.
I was physically and emotionally drained for the rest of the day. No game, and I mean no game, has ever come close to giving the amount of fear that I felt that session.

Re: The other planet
Lol, must be frustrating for devs who to craft in cool features that almost no one notices.
It would be interesting if various creature behaviours were made to coincide with this kind of thing. Maybe making rare resources that could only be gathered during a mass coral spawning during an eclipse.
Next thing you know everyone's paying attention to the sky, and fans are wiki-ing all the planetary orbital paths and alignment sequences.
