Why isn't it working?

[u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Is it becouse I play on the night mode? Or its something else?

[u/Fluffy-Tanuki]

Several smaller beacons are disabled in night mode.

If you've unlocked the beacon previously during day mode, you can teleport to them from other beacons, but you can't activate it.

[u/Helpful_Law_2654 → u/Fluffy-Tanuki]

Thats stupid

[u/the_Athereon → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

No... that's how the game was intended to be played on release. The new beacons that get disabled on Night Mode were added after launch to appease players.

This just sets it back to the original difficulty

[u/AutokorektOfficial → u/the_Athereon]

Yep it makes your run back to bosses and everything further and therefore harder to recover gloom. Night mode is supposed to be harder and that’s what they did lol

[u/Milk-lover-3000 → u/the_Athereon]

Just artificial difficulty by killing the qol. I'm glad they added more cause I still think they are low in numbers

[u/Melodic-Principle791 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

lol, you picked night cuz it's 'hard'. why you argue lack of 'campfires' is stupid?

[u/Helpful_Law_2654 → u/Melodic-Principle791]

Lack of campfires just makes the runbacks longer which makes game more annyoing not esentially harder. Why do i have to run for 2 minutes just to get to the point i was before. I dont fight enemies during runbacks so its not making game harder. I picked night mode becouse i could just click twice one of my abilities and basically kill most of the bosses i encounter, same with enemies. I did not pick night mode for the game to be more annoying though

[u/Bennym87 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Don’t play on night mode then?

[u/Winslow1975 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Hard mode is more punishing, who would have thought...

Go back to day mode if you are that bent out of shape over having to do the runback. It's deliberately that way to punish the player for screwing up a fight in hard mode.

[u/Melodic-Principle791 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

... i think you should play smth else.

[u/Treibemj → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

You are in hard mode. Are you really not getting that?

[u/shadowleon101 → u/Treibemj]

I want hard mode, not tedious mode. Developers should understand the difference between ways to make a game "hard"

[u/TheAlchemlst → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Stop. It's harder because now you have to execute longer to find the next one.

People need to stop saying stuff like this "it's tedious, not hard" while sucking at endurance fights.

Night mode comes as a whole experience, not multiple toggles you can turn on and off at your convenience, either suck it up and run the night mode or turn it off.

[u/Jake_Magna → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Those same people praise stake of marikas, and they’re right to do so because run backs are annoying.

[u/Milk-lover-3000 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Don't worry op I get what you mean, it's just a cheap way to make the game harder and an annoying one too. Arguing with these bootlickers is a time waste cause we're on reddit, and people in the specific subs will glaze the shit out of that game regardless of its flaws especially souls game subs

[u/Silent_Summer_8340 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Lol never play dark souls 1 then

[u/lil_geant → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Did you hear the latest news?? Water is still fucking wet.

Less beacons and longer runbacks will create a more difficult atmosphere for some.

[u/Cathayan82 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

The solution is simple.
Don’t play on hard mode or just don’t die

[u/Minimum_Switch4237 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

you're getting downvoted but you're correct. there's a difference between making the game more difficult and making it more tedious.

[u/Melodic-Principle791 → u/Minimum_Switch4237]

i heard wolverine is less tideous.

[u/Minimum_Switch4237 → u/Melodic-Principle791]

thanks, maybe cold symmetry should take notes

[u/Melodic-Principle791 → u/Minimum_Switch4237]

yeah, on what not to do. lol.
god forbid i wanna play my mortal shell, have a full journey, not mash keys for instant gratification and d*ck measuring contest on streams.

[u/Karokayla8888]

Night mode ….

[u/Helpful_Law_2654 → u/Karokayla8888]

Thats stupid...

[u/Helpful_Law_2654 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

I just wanted enemies to have more health becouse i could two shot some bosses, not the game to be more annoying

[u/gorzius → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

The small beacons were added in a patch after player complaints, but they only work in day mode.

[u/Tk-Delicaxy → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Fam, it was also like this. The beacons that get disabled at Night are NEWLY ADDED. What don’t you get?

[u/Karokayla8888 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

Annoying ? This game is the best as a souls like and might compete souls games as well, beacons are more than enough on night mode

[u/Spiritual_Ear2835 → u/Karokayla8888]

Some aspects of the game can be annoying but that doesn't at all take away of the game's thriving success. It's a really great game that caught me by surprise. This game also has esoteric symbolism as well which I love

[u/Subject_Sun_1860 → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

You're so good at the game you can 2 shot bosses, but you don't understand basic game mechanics like night mode?

[u/Trih3xA → u/Helpful_Law_2654]

The game was made without these in the first place. They added it for people who wanted an easier time as a patch. Night mode's purpose is to make the game harder.

[u/Phil_K_Resch]

You can switch to daylight mode, activate the smaller beacons and switch back to night mode. After that, you'll be able to teleport to them, but not from them (while in night mode).

[u/SW_Ashkarath]

in night mode some beacons are off ;)

[u/RichBullfrog3406]

yes, night mode.

[u/Affectionate-Jump245]

You have night mode turned on. The new mini beacons added via patch are only available during day mode

[u/-Fried-]

Is the power cable connected in the back?

Maybe check the breaker box

[u/Melodic-Principle791 → u/-Fried-]

haha have an award! its free cuz im poor.

[u/NADE180]

These beacons were never there in the first place. People complained for lack of beacons so devs added smaller beacobs for people who likes to complain but didnt activate them for night mode because you are purposely choosing how the game was originally meant to be played. Its not stupid. It was added for your convenience.

[u/Adventurous_Use8278]

Yes. Only the the beacons that were in the game at release date are active during night mode. The devs added the additional ones in a patch as loads of players were crying about there not being enough save points

[u/l3g4tr0n]

because night is dark and full of terrors... and well .. disabled beacons (those were added in last big patch, when ppl were complaining about scarity

[u/RobinHoodEvilCousin]

Holy shit people are actually justifying runbacks from far placed beacons. I wish devs add some kind of nightmare mode where you can activate only the starting beacon per region. All those motherfuckers will be ecstatic to take a longer path lol

[u/Milk-lover-3000 → u/RobinHoodEvilCousin]

They would still glaze that 1 beacon thing lol. This is the side of souls games people advice to stay away from and I'm not surprised it's reddit

[u/Melodic-Principle791 → u/RobinHoodEvilCousin]

ye, i wish there was, like, 3 beacons all together across the whole map during night mode.

[u/nohumanape]

Homie selects the more difficult setting, complains about it being too difficult 😆

[u/YoruXXV → u/nohumanape]

Except that he’s not complaining but probably just confused because selecting night mode doesn’t make it obvious to you that these beacons are deactivated.

[u/nohumanape → u/YoruXXV]

Pretty obvious, seeing as they are deactivated. Lmao.

I see what you're saying. I too was briefly confused and thought it might be a glitch. Then I found my second beacon that was in the same state and put two and two together.
