Wagstaff Villain Or Victim?

Recent Topics have lead myself and other forum members into a massive discussion on potential Wagstaff Lore and so I have decided to create this poll to see what everyone thinks.


Another topic on Wendy's reworking? Life is a great reworking.

$
0
0

In the past I argued that Wendy only needed an Abigail  more leathery and that was possible to give her simple inputs to command her actions (hostile / peaceful / firm / moving). I have played Abigail with these characteristics for years, being able to experience how fun it was to have an Abigail that does not commit suicide and capable of giving concrete, albeit small, help even against the giants. Being able to control she, above all, really gave me the feeling of having a partner in the sad and bleak lands of the constant, and not just a tool to manage small hordes not unlike many others.
But I know that Klei won't just give Abigail a defense and a chance to be controlled.
They will definitely want to tweak Wendy's gameplay to be profoundly different than it has been today, and I'm also happy about that.
But the question arises: how to change the gameplay of Wendy, a character with so many "concepts" to respect? It must necessarily have a gameplay that revolves around the Wendy-Abigail dualism; necessarily tied to the concept of life-death, necessarily tied to the concept that Wendy is, de facto, a fragile child. In short, it is not easy to rework a character who must meet all these requirements.
Still, I think I had an interesting intuition:
Abigail, who must be CENTRAL in Wendy's new reworking, could get a new supernatural (or unnatural, if you like) ability: she could animate the skeletons of deceased creatures, so as to change their function and their statistics based to the animated skeleton ...!
In the early stages of the game Wendy may not have disposable skeletons and Abigail would behave normally; or, Wendy could only have skeletons of relatively small and weak creatures, such as Beefalo or Pig. But later on Wendy could get the skeletons of much more interesting creatures: Spider Queen, Moose / Goose, Deerclops, Beager, Bee Queen, Dragonfly, even the skeleton of the Ancient fuelweaver ...!
Each of these zombies, animated by the spirit of the late Abigail, would have unique statistics and abilities similar to those of the original creature: trivially, the zombie beefalo should be rideable, the zombie Deerclops should be able to freeze, etc.
Obviously, the statistics would not be the same as the original monsters but should be re-sized to keep the game balanced anyway.
That's all, scattered ideas.

Walani, and why she's perfect for Return of Them

$

Spoiler

Before I get into this, I want to get some things out of the way. I have a reputation for elitist and ignorant idea threads as of 2019, and the threads that encapsulate these I look back with really poor feelings, save for maybe the Willow-related ones. In my previous Walani thread I even popped a joke that was in poor taste. But none of this is going to happen this time, I assure you. I'm also posting a thread about Walani again because JoeW specifically said in the 2020 roadmap that they're listening to conversations about new content, and I want it to be known that there's an audience for her to be added to DST.

Im not writing this at midnight like the last thread, so there's actually good thought put into it this time.

 

Let's talk about Walani. More specifically, let's talk about her possible relation with Return Of Them.

RoT is based on ocean exploration, focusing on the lunar island and other materials / spoils you can gather from the ocean. However, traversing the waters is slow and clunky. That's where Walani comes in. She could be the character that allows players to easily explore (and focus on) RoT content, since she as a character is also inherently based on the ocean, with her being a surfer and all. She would of course require a refresh similar to Warly as her Singleplayer perks/stats are just... awfully bland. However, I am not going to give ideas for said perks and stats, because ultimately she'd be based around the ocean, and only Klei can possibly know the end-result of the ocean, meaning only Klei can possibly know how to make Walani the most fun and balanced.

Before you cry "OP" about Walani being able to b-line towards Lunar Island, Woodie can reliably and consistently find Lunar Island on the first day or two with his goose form. In regards to Woodie not being able to interact with anything while in Goose form, Woodie doesn't *specialize* in the ocean. He is a generalist that has the ability to get to Lunar Island. Walani, on the other hand, WOULD specialize in the ocean, allowing her to reap all of the ocean goodies without the hassle of sailing. Maybe Klei could even make Walani favor a boat base in some way, who knows?

I *do* have some small ideas regarding a Walani refresh. Some are salvaged from the previous thread, some are newly thought up (ily @Axelocke)

Spoiler

 

*She could make surfboards, big shocker, but could make different versions, such as a Driftwood Surfboard which gives a use to Driftwood other than it's very limited crafting recipes. This version of the surfboard could be faster than a regular surfboard, but could have less max durability. Another upgrade beyond that could be the "Sea Queen's' Surfboard". I salvaged this idea from the last thread mainly because the name sounds cool, BUT it could be used in mid-late game, giving players a reason to keep playing as her. It's crafting recipe could call for, say, living logs and gold?

* Sanity Auras and modifiers would have less of an impact on Walani, possibly both positive and negative. Instant sanity changes could also possibly be affected) The only item that isnt affected by these modifiers would be sleeping, which goes well into the next idea.

* She could create a hammok, which works like a tent except stats increase/drain at a faster rate. This means that you would go hungry faster, but gain health/sanity faster as well. This sorta alleviates the downside of sleeping (and why you don't see pros doing it), which is the fact that they are a time sink.

*For the next Hallowed Nights, she can be a Slurper.

*Not directly related to Walani, but the ocean could have naturally occurring waves like SW, allowing Walani to surf on them for extra speed, but move around boats without an anchor. Waves are already in DST (Malbatross and the gnarwail's horn) so it shouldn't be *too* hard. It may even be a secret planned feature, which I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

 

 

If you have ideas or opinions on DST Walani, share them here. Let's hope this doesn't turn into a dumpster fire like the last time.

Don't Starve, According to A.I. Dungeon

$
0

So I decided to try a Don't Starve-esque prompt with A.I. Dungeon and see where it went from there.    The parts that start with > are me, the ones that don't were added by the A.I.  Here is what I ended up with:

You wake up in the middle of a grassy field, with no idea how you got there.  Something seems not quite right about this place.  The first thing you notice is that your clothes are missing.  You look around and see that they're lying on the ground nearby, but where did they go?

Then you realize something else: you don't have any money!  You've never been so scared in all your life.

> You put your clothes back on and stand up, looking around.  This place is entirely unfamiliar, and you seem to be in the middle of the wilderness--there are no signs of civilization anywhere.

You take off your shoes and socks, then pull them on as quickly as possible.  You're still wearing the same clothes you were wearing when you woke up, so it's easy enough for you to get dressed again.

> Startled, you look around as you hear a strange squealing noise.  You turn your head just in time to catch a rabbit with horns?! scurrying back into a nearby hole.

You stare at the rabbits in front of you, which are hopping around wildly.  They aren't very big, maybe three or four inches high, but they're moving fast.  Their eyes are wide open and their mouths hang open like little black holes from their faces.

> You stagger, dizzy, as you realise the edges of reality itself around you seem to be waving and warping.  Are you going insane?

The world begins to blur and warp around you.  It feels like everything is spinning out of control, but you can't tell if that's true or not.

> You decide that maybe you're just dizzy from lack of blood sugar, so you start looking around for something to eat.

You walk over to the nearest tree and begin eating some berries that you find there.  You grab one of the smaller ones, chewing it down until you swallow it whole.  As soon as you do, a wave of nausea hits you, followed by an intense headache.

> You look around quickly for some water to help wash the berries down, and find a nearby pond.  Unfortunately there is a frog sitting next to it.  A frog with a weirdly sinister expression.

You try to sit down and rest, but the pain keeps coming.  You feel like you might pass out, but manage to keep yourself conscious long enough to make a run for it.

> "But where should I run to?" you ask yourself out loud.  "Where IS this place?"

You stumble through the forest, trying to stay alert and aware of what's happening around you.  But you're getting tired, and the nausea is making your stomach hurt worse than ever.

> Even worse, the sun is setting, and you have a feeling it wouldn't be wise to be caught out in the dark, in this place.

You continue to wander through the woods, and eventually you come across a small stream running through the trees.  There's a nice quiet spot near the edge of the wood where you can hide and wait for nightfall.

> You start gathering twigs and grass to make a fire.  As you are bending down to pick up a twig, you notice

A bright light shines directly into your face, blinding you momentarily.  Your vision goes white and then black, before returning completely normal.

> Suddenly, you hear what sounds like creepy music playing in the background!  Out here?  In the forest?

Your ears perk up immediately, and you look around.  The sound is coming from somewhere in the distance, and it seems to be coming from far away.

> It's getting dark now, so you light a makeshift torch and head towards the sound in the gathering shadows.  When you get there, you discover the music is coming from an old phonograph.  Nearby is an exhausted-looking man on a throne, who says

"I'm sorry about all this."

> You look at him blankly.  "What?  What's going on here?  Who are you?  What's with that music?"

He looks at you, his eyes full of confusion.
"I don't know anything about this," he says.
"Why would you lie to me?"
"Because I thought... well, I was hoping that we could work together..."

> "Okay..." you say slowly. "Let's try to figure out how to survive in this wilderness."

The man smiles.
"Well, yes, if you insist."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's how Don't Starve Together started, apparently.

THE END!

Frankly I kept waiting for this thing to swerve CRAZILY off the rails, but other than having my clothes lost and yet still on me (?!) at the beginning, it stayed mostly pretty on-track.  : P  (Although...tiny rabbits with _black holes in their faces_.  WTF. That's _way_ weirder than beardlings, and I just barely got there!)

Maxwell saying "I'm sorry about all this" is pretty epic, though.

interesting world gen twicks to season a bit the gameplay?

What twicks can I do to the world gen to make the game more fresh?

Like "Lights out" and "together plus". Are there any more twicks you ever tried?

If I do a world solo I use to make less grass, twigs and berries.

Wilson rework ideas - What do you think would be done?

What would you think would be done for wilson whenever he gets reworked?

Personally I was thinking his beard would be an aid in all seasons instead of just winter. It would keep its current winter insulation, but would also provide water resistance based on how long it is and would give summer insulation aswell. Multipurpose beard!

It could also still be shaved of course.

Decorations, Shrines and Base Designs

Hey everyone! My love for designing is thriving and I've been feeling inspired lately and really wanted a place to share some of the things I've been working on. I love making shrines and designs in worlds whether it's big or small, and adding cute little details to them as well. Most of what I do isn't practical and is purely for decoration.

I was originally posting screenshots of my base on this thread: 

But I feel as though my style of basing has evolved into something that cannot be categorized as tidy and I wanted to start a different thread that was for bases/worlds more on the ornamental side like mine. Plus I feel far more comfortable and way less anxious being annoying and posting heaps on my own thread than I do spamming someone else's *nervous laugh* ^-^'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a few shrines I worked on last month:

Moon Stone Shrine

Don't think I'll ever be able to do the Moon Stone event ever again because I'll never be able to get a pig so perfectly back in that spot like that ahah, worth it.

5e0fcdcc8b19a_MoonstoneShrine.thumb.jpg.bd0e3274f74bee4eb3c13697333eb03a.jpg

Klaus Shrine/Arena

We found every Klaus spawner and plugged them with a firepit except this one, now he only ever spawns here and we fight him on the cobble stone bit to the right. This area doubles as a shrine and a fighting arena, I love it ^-^ 

Hi to my lovely Wes @Warlockadamm <3

Ok, so, I've been playing this game awhile and there are STILL set pieces I have missed or not run across ever. I just found one I'd never seen yesterday. 

 

There are the basic "I want these because they are awesome" set pieces like reed trap, queens gathering, developer graveyard, or gaurdian pig ones. Then there are the obscure ones that are just.... there..... like the patches of savannah in a grass turf biome. 

(This is the one I found for the first time yesterday!)

Walani, and why she's perfect for Return of Them

$

Spoiler

Before I get into this, I want to get some things out of the way. I have a reputation for elitist and ignorant idea threads as of 2019, and the threads that encapsulate these I look back with really poor feelings, save for maybe the Willow-related ones. In my previous Walani thread I even popped a joke that was in poor taste. But none of this is going to happen this time, I assure you. I'm also posting a thread about Walani again because JoeW specifically said in the 2020 roadmap that they're listening to conversations about new content, and I want it to be known that there's an audience for her to be added to DST.

Im not writing this at midnight like the last thread, so there's actually good thought put into it this time.

 

Let's talk about Walani. More specifically, let's talk about her possible relation with Return Of Them.

RoT is based on ocean exploration, focusing on the lunar island and other materials / spoils you can gather from the ocean. However, traversing the waters is slow and clunky. That's where Walani comes in. She could be the character that allows players to easily explore (and focus on) RoT content, since she as a character is also inherently based on the ocean, with her being a surfer and all. She would of course require a refresh similar to Warly as her Singleplayer perks/stats are just... awfully bland. However, I am not going to give ideas for said perks and stats, because ultimately she'd be based around the ocean, and only Klei can possibly know the end-result of the ocean, meaning only Klei can possibly know how to make Walani the most fun and balanced.

Before you cry "OP" about Walani being able to b-line towards Lunar Island, Woodie can reliably and consistently find Lunar Island on the first day or two with his goose form. In regards to Woodie not being able to interact with anything while in Goose form, Woodie doesn't *specialize* in the ocean. He is a generalist that has the ability to get to Lunar Island. Walani, on the other hand, WOULD specialize in the ocean, allowing her to reap all of the ocean goodies without the hassle of sailing. Maybe Klei could even make Walani favor a boat base in some way, who knows?

I *do* have some small ideas regarding a Walani refresh. Some are salvaged from the previous thread, some are newly thought up (ily @Axelocke)

Spoiler

 

*She could make surfboards, big shocker, but could make different versions, such as a Driftwood Surfboard which gives a use to Driftwood other than it's very limited crafting recipes. This version of the surfboard could be faster than a regular surfboard, but could have less max durability. Another upgrade beyond that could be the "Sea Queen's' Surfboard". I salvaged this idea from the last thread mainly because the name sounds cool, BUT it could be used in mid-late game, giving players a reason to keep playing as her. It's crafting recipe could call for, say, living logs and gold?

* Sanity Auras and modifiers would have less of an impact on Walani, possibly both positive and negative. Instant sanity changes could also possibly be affected) The only item that isnt affected by these modifiers would be sleeping, which goes well into the next idea.

* She could create a hammok, which works like a tent except stats increase/drain at a faster rate. This means that you would go hungry faster, but gain health/sanity faster as well. This sorta alleviates the downside of sleeping (and why you don't see pros doing it), which is the fact that they are a time sink.

*For the next Hallowed Nights, she can be a Slurper.

*Not directly related to Walani, but the ocean could have naturally occurring waves like SW, allowing Walani to surf on them for extra speed, but move around boats without an anchor. Waves are already in DST (Malbatross and the gnarwail's horn) so it shouldn't be *too* hard. It may even be a secret planned feature, which I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

 

 

If you have ideas or opinions on DST Walani, share them here. Let's hope this doesn't turn into a dumpster fire like the last time.

 

Could bunnymen turn into carrats depending on where they are?

Thanks to my friends, I'm way more confident into making this thread. Beardlords seem to be sanity based but bunnymen seem to leave carrots when they die. Is there a correlation between the two species?

Perhaps we'll get bunnymen and rabbit lore during year of the rabbit?

Wheeler in Don't Starve Together

I think Maybelle Dorothea Wheeler would be fun in DST. Along with this character I feel we would need a few more ranged options. Things like the Harpoon or the Spear gun. Then I would love Wheeler to become the ranged weapon master. Why not have them be the Wigfrid of ranged weapons? In the Wigfrid update I would love Her to be great at close range only. Also the starting items will need a rework. Pew-matic Horn might need to do less damage and be character exclusive. Then the Navigadget should break after a set number of items found. Any thoughts on this?

Problem with fps during boss fights

$

Hello, I have experienced weird fps drops during Bee Queen and Toadstool fight. Espacially during Toadstool fight, fps drops are MASSIVE. The longer the battle takes, the more fps drops. When Toadstool was on like 20% of its health the game was almost unplayable and I took unnecessary damage, which, of course, leaded to my death. It seems that simple relog fixes the issue for a while, but sometimes it's just impossible to quit during fight, and I am afraid that the boss will vanish when I leave. Did anyone experienced such low frame rates during boss fights? Is there a solution for this kind of problem?

Wx-78 rework Idea.

$

(Warning): I'm not very good at writing or communicating in total so if I make any mistakes or I screw up a story and tell misinformation please let me know and I will gladly try to fix my grammer and words thank you. This post will be long so sit back relax and grab some popcorn, enjoy reading! :D (also note everytime I say circuit board I really meant to say chip so please whenever you read Circuit board it means Computer Chip.

 

Alot of controversy has been around WX-78 and his perks, about his perks being boring, and especially his downside of slowly losing health when wet, so I wrote this up as an idea for WX-78 rework as the goal is to make him better Team Oriented and based more on Robots and to portray the how multi task and abilities a robot can do as a whole and less of the big stats and greedy Gear muncher/"Oh please shock me harder daddy" players, that WX-78 mains are usually portrayed as.

Perk: Computer Chips to give WX-78 certain stats and abilities for each one:

(Though nearly all of this idea was made by me This idea was inspired off of a mod, where basically WX-was able to make stuff to upgrade his stats separately I don't remember the source, so if anybody finds it please let me know! :) )

WX-78 either spawns or can craft later in the game These Chips  to affect the way he plays the game as a concept I made four as  examples to explain my idea. The Destroyer, The Navigator, The Helper, and the Bright Light cpu:

Once WX has these circuit board  he is able to insert it to change and sort of modify WX-78 to better fit his chores and task. To show if a circuit is active then WX-78 little ears will glow and shape like the circuit icons. (If that's too difficult then just make it to where he sparks the colors.) The CPU Chips will also have extra abilities when overcharged! Note if WX-78 does not use the circuit boards he will basically play like a default WX-78.

Destroyer Circuit board: a skull shape will appear on WX-78's ear and WX-78 Will have higher Damage resistance and Deal more damage in total, he will have high health but low maximum hunger and sanity. And maybe he walks a bit slower but not slow enough so he is still able to kite.(when overcharged WX-78 can Deal Electric Damage, and shock enemies that hurt him during this phase)

 

Navigator Circuit board: WX-78's ears will be orange with a electric bolt symbol and WX-78 will be able to move faster then usual. He will be able to explore much more revealing alot more on the map, the only downside is that he has low maximum HP. (When overcharged, WX-78 will light up and he will run even faster revealing bigger chunks of the map)

 

Helper circuit board: WX-78's ears will symbol. Green ball and beep (for detail) He will be able to move a bit faster near player placed structures and can do chores/work twice as fast. He also has a slower hunger drain while working to Though the downside is that he has low health and does less overall damage. When he's too far away from the base he will have normal speed but can still work fast. He also has a small aura of light that can help plants grow more faster when standing next to them. As a cool idea WX-78 can play music similar to Hutch and increase the sanity of other players and himself, this also makes Hostile mobs less likely to attack you, the music will also temporarily tame pigs and bunnymen with the music (When overcharged, WX-78 will work faster and the Music will give out more sanity.)

 

Bright light Circuit Board:  WX-78's ears will become yellow and become light bulbs (real life ones) WX-78 will then glow up through his eyes and is able to light up dark areas to light the way for WX-78 and his fellow minions. And a good way to save resources. (When overcharged WX-78 will Light up even more.)

Circuit Mechanics: When ever WX-78 Inserts a circuit, a meter similar to the Compass will appear and show WX-78 how much % he has left. When the meter runs out then WX-78 Will pop it out of him and it will fall on the ground. WX-78 is allowed to insert and eject gears at any time to allow him free control of when he wants to pop in his, Abilities.

Perk: Charged up By lightning (Reworked):

The survivors can now craft a portable electric tank( portablejar) that can store electricity and save it for future uses(perhaps Winona could use it for generators) . WX-78 will have excellent use for this, When a lightning rod is struck, WX-78 has either two options, A. take a bolt from the lightning rod causing his normal overcharged setting, or B. Use a Electric tank to Store  lightning inside it. WX-78 can either use it to recharge his circuits or use it to over charge himself as usual that way players don't have to rely on getting shocked by rain sacrificing their wetness and relying on Wixkerbottom. But to give WX-78 more of a chance to get an over charge by their own choice, instead of everytime it rains A WX-78 Takes off all of their rain protection clothing and beg to the clouds of the constant to shock them. (Reason why I made the Shock me joke XD)

Perk(Downside) Is very vulnerable to water:

To make this ability more similar to Willows downside to the cold, let's say at different phases of wetness WX-78 Will lose sanity a lot more faster As his fear is water, and he will spark(like normally) causing him to take more and more damage the more wet he is,WX-78 is also more weaker in his wet state causing him to have less damage resistance meaning he will take more damage as the game says he is Rustingwhen wet or exposed to rain the chip will Spark and short circuit causing them to no longer work. So you'll have to be careful where you place them if you want to keep them safe. When A WX is really wet with a Circuit equipped it will negate the effects of the chip the more wet. WX-78 gets.

I have a right schedule currently right now so I'll add more to this later thank you for Reading and I'll see you next time! :D

Discussion about Rework Order

$

0

More threads!

I'm really curious on what y'all think would be the most ideal rework order, as in "who should get reworked next, and next, and next (etc)" 

Here's my suggestion which is ranked by "Who needs it most" in my opinion. Comment below yours, or if you agree with me.

 

* = Part of the Big 3. JoeW said that they're scared to touch these characters.

Note that this does not account for surprise reworks from Singleplayer Characters (like Warly)

----------------------------

1. Wendy
-- Wendy as of now simply sucks; Abi's AI is VERY suicidal. Also it's practically confirmed that she's next anyway.

2. Webber
--Has absolutely nothing going for him after early-game. It is astronomically rare to see people playing Webber in long-running worlds.

3. Maxwell
--Boring to play; Farm materials, Fight Shadow Creatures. Plus him being an ex-antagonist + edgy magician has so much potential.

4. WX*
--All of his upsides are simple stat changes (save for Overcharge's light), and his downside may as well not even exist.

5. Wolfgang*
--He can be REALLY strong, but his playstyle is very simple, barely differing from the average.

6. Wicker*
--Has a more diverse playstyle than Wolfgang, which is why she's further back.

7 Wifgrid
--Wigfrid is generally considered to have a fun playstyle, and doesn't really need a higher up rework slot.

8. Wes
--Wes is supposed to be the challenge character, so the others should get reworked first.

9. Wilson
--It just feels right to have Wilson end it off.
