Life giving amulet dilemma


Recommended Posts

After playing don't starve I seem to have one a recurring problem : I die with a life giving amulet in my inventory.

 

The dilemma is that when I go into a fight I have 2 choices. One I equipe armor and hope to win the fight or I equipe a life giving amulet and well die - revive.

 

For me the live giving amulet should be like the two other resurection objects, an "Oh darn I died" now get a second chance mechanic but its not. Because you need to equipe the amulet you need to plan your death which I find counter intuitive.

 

The idee of having a on the spot revive mechanic is intresting, but the only reliable aspect of the amulet is its passif health regen, which frankly is not worth its cost.

 

I feel like there should be a change in how the amulet works.

I think it would be overpowered if it revived you while you don't have it equipped. It's easier to craft than a meat effigy(unless you're Wilson) and it revives you at the spot you died while putting all mobs in the area to sleep. That is a big bonus compared to touchstones and effigies, because with the latter revival methods, you have to run back to wherever you died to gather your things. The amulet has saved me when I know I'm basically screwed, because I've gotten myself cornered. That's when I equip it and let myself get killed. I believe it's better off with the risk/reward mechanic it has now. Do you risk it, trying to escape with low health, but a piece of armor to cover your chest? Instead, you could take the safer method and equip the amulet.

I agree that it would be overpowered to auto revive with the amulet, that is why I would like to see a change in the way it works. (And why I don't realy want to use a mod).

With the meat effigy you revive at a safe spot. You must run back if you want to get your lost items but you can just not go and start over. Also you can prepare before retrieving your stuff.

Currently the amulet is only usefull if you know that you are going to die !!! That is why I feel that a change in its mechanic would be nice.

The down side of the meat effigy is that it take a piece of your max health.

So why not give the amulet a down side and make it so you auto revive on death without equiping it.

Maybe : you do less damage, armor is less effectif, food does not restore health, you run slower, idk something. (not to forget it takes up  a slot in your inventory)

Also I wouldn't mind that it would be harder to make.
