The power consumption is too fucking fast for the amount of camera usage you have to do, like, that shit needs a big nerf, because if I want to stop consuming so much battery I need to put the camera down, BUT IF I PUT THE CAMERA DOWN I DONT KNOW WHEN SPRINGTRAP MOVES BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FUCKING SOUND CUES WHATSOEVER.

Springtrap moves way too fast and waits way too little before entering the office and jumpscaring you (he also has an annoying fucking move where he goes from the Left Hallway to Pirate's Cove and that shit is seriously annoying because the only way to check if he did or didnt do that is changing to either Left Corner or Pirates Cove cameras and SOMETIMES YOU CANT DO THAT BECAUSE THE CAMERA JUST BREAKS FOR NO FUCKING REASON)

Phantom Freddy is absolutely fucking useless because if someone stands in the office for as much as it takes for Phantom Freddy to attack THEN SPRINGTRAP ALREADY GOT THEM

Phantom Chica is the most disgusting fucker ever conceived, you have to be on the alert the instant you pull down the camera to see if Phantom Chica is in the monitors, because she attacks within a fucking second, and if you're in a rush to get something fixed because Springtrap is near the door she just ruins the entire fucking game WHY IS SHE SO FAST WHY DOES SHE ALSO ATTACK IF YOU HAVE THE MAINTENANCE PANEL UP THATS JUST UNNECESSARILY ANNOYING DUDE

The camera BREAKS SO FUCKING OFTEN ITS FUCKING COMICAL LIKE I'LL BE LOOKING AT SPRINGTRAP AND SUDDENLY RIGHT BEFORE HE MOVES, OH, CAMERAS BROKE, GUESS I HAVE TO RANDOM GUESS IF HE WENT TO A HALLWAY, LOSE 4 AUDIOS SO BASICALLY I HAVE TO RESET BOTH AUDIO AND CAMERA, AND THEN DIE BECAUSE HE WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEN RUSHED TO MY OFFICE WHILE I REPAIRED SHIT AND KILLED ME BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS JUST REPAIRING AND PRAYING SPRINGTRAP TAKES HIS SWEET TIME WHICH HE DOES NOT.

Like everything comes together in the biggest shitstorm that isn't a challenge of skill or wits, its a challenge of RNG, of Springtrap just deciding not to kill you instantly, the cameras not breaking within a second in the worst moments, etc.

My Awesome Idea of a Springtrap 8th Night!!!!!!

When Springtrap moves from the Dining Area to anywhere, he plays a laughter sound cue. That way people can save up power by staying in the office and only pop up the monitor when Springtrap moves somewhere.

Make it so the Camera Errors are only caused by Springtrap breaking the cameras in Parts & Service, thus giving that camera some nice usage. (Idea taken from A Bite at Freddy's, where I still think Foxy takes too little time for you to react in plenty occasions and the Backup Camera is just a death sentence, but whatever...)

Phantom Freddy is alright he doesnt need a change.

Phantom Chica either gets a larger timer and some ambience when she appears, or the Repair Panel also counts to disarm her. That way players can hear her appearing and quickly change gears into camera without having to rely on half a second "LOOK AT THE CAMERA AND SPAM S IF YOU SEE HER", or she punishes people for just staying in the office not doing anything, and makes the gameplay akin to FNaF 2 (where people learn to put the mask on the instant they put the camera down).

Phantom Balloon Boy... He serves the same exact purpose as in FNaF 3 he can stay like he is.

Either take into account the idea of Springtrap laughing, or decrease the insane power consumption.

This is how I would change the 8TH NIGHT SPRINGTRAP BATTLE concept into something that I consider to be actually good and fun gameplay.

(Also I have no fucking clue how the DOORS work, the one time I tried to use them while repairing Audio while Springtrap was close they just errored open, which is very shit. If that's just a thing that randomly happens if you close the door, then my advice would be to make the glitch prevent you from using the door buttons rather than just force them open??? That way you're under pressure of fixing the error so you can open the door and stop losing so much power, while not being unfairly at the chances of RNG.)

thanks for reading my stupid rant about a stupid challenge in a version of fnaf that i genuinely like (besides some of the custom challenges like the Super Speed one where the delay on keybinds made it not feel fair)
