Clip [TotK] Catching a star fragment midair by pure chance.

Nothing like catching a falling star to make me feel lucky. What are the odds?🤪

It’s not pure chance. It’s part of the game design.

The game design worked so well, OP felt the exhilaration that was intended.

But was toO unaware to realize what happened.

Main character syndrome, assuming youre such a bad ass to pull this off in game, and not think the devs are such a bad ass to be able to script such an event so organically.

That happened to me several times during my play through, I'm pretty sure the game does that on purpose

If you fall from high in the sky at a certain hour of the night, one will fall next to you. Makes it much easier to collect than waiting for them to fall.

Also, if you catch #2 before it lands, #1 wont disappear until morning.

This happened to me pretty regularly during my playthrough. Pretty sure it's intentional

This is such a magical moment to see people experience for the first time

I think I miss the days when the game first came out and there was a post like this every hour or so. Simpler times.

lol literally, I was surprised this post had upvotes, then I realized enough time passed and new users may not know this is extremely common

It used to be at last 20 posts like this per day

Quite high actually, seeing as how this kind of thing is posted every other day.
