Delirium maps are depressing

Delirium juicing is really ugly. It makes the maps an awful mess. And it's so depressing because every run is dark and foggy. Honestly, I don't get why they did it this way. Why did they make it so unappealing? I can't be the only one who doesn't like how it looks.

I think that more epic soundtracks could improve our time playing this game. and yes, Delirium are very depressing, LOL.

Also can we talk about how using a delirium infused waystone on a map tile with a native mirror negates the native mirror? Seems rather...silly...especially since mirrors themselves are typically dissapointing af.

I can't imagine being one of those people who grinded simulacrum shards for what must have been DAYS, 2-3 dropped at a time, just to try to run sim and get decimated immediately. It's such a shit mechanic.

There are two problems with simulacrum above all others:

1. No bodies. This kinda gimps builds that use bodies a little bit very hard.

2. Dots double dip on the delirious effects. I can't back this up with hard data, but considering that my summoner is completely fine in there at all times with her 18,000 hitpoitns, until a full delirious wave rolls 40% added as fire and then suddenly a single ignite does more damage than her entire complement of hitpoints...and nowhere else in the entire game is there a single dot effect of anywhere close to that magnitude...somethings wrong under the hood.

TL:DR my summoner (which I think is probably the closest build style to being well balanced atm) can handle it as long as no wave rolls added fire, and my turbo herald monk (which objectively needs the hardest nerfbat in town) has no issues because everything is dead before it is done spawning. Pretty shoddy state, needs some attention.

P.S. to get more delirium shards, use infused waystones. Throw either 3 ires or 3 greeds on them (both are about 2 per exalt uaually), and you come out averaging around 10 shards for every map without having to worry about chasing deliriums. No emotion drops, but tbh who cares; natural deliriums are such a wild crapshoot anyway.

Good point on attempting to get more shards, but I cannot complete simulacrum with my DD bloodmage because I get one shot around the 12th room. I wouldn't bother attempting it again. I don't even bother infusing waystones with emotions.
