[multi-choice poll] Common Requests for Hamlet & Beyond

[Ellilea]

I've been diligently stalking these forums ever since Hamlet's release, and there are some issues/requests people keep bringing up cyclically. I figured I'll make a poll where I tried to gather a big chunk of them (sorry if I forgot some, I'll add them if possible).

Vote for the requests/issues you feel are the ones important to you

EDIT: "Additional Suggestions" will have fewer votes since they're being added later after people voted already, but for the sake of clarity, they appear in the poll.

Option to have Wilba not have that constant open mouth.

It's nitpicky but it bugs me on a spiritual level.

Why is Water Beefalo stuff under Hamlet specific. 

[Roosev]

I've ticked all because I'm a mad lad.

Well she did put Beyond in the title, so it's not just stuff we want in Hamlet, it's stuff we want in general. And the Shipwrecked forum is kinda dead.

Spoiler

Because I've been crying for the ability to ride Water boofs for the longest time.

He means the category I put it in. In theory it should be in the last, but idk. It just... rubbed me the wrong way there, I can't explain.

I'm sorry D:

It's like a sort of captcha, making sure people really are aware of what they're ticking off. 

[Rellimarual]

Excellent poll! The one thing I'd add is that the aspects of specific seasons (beetles, brambles) not persist more than a day or two after the season ends. 

[Ellilea]

It looks like I'm one of the very few who couldn't care less about character balancing/new characters, cause I honestly could just play Wilson every time and just focus on the in-game content/sandboxing

[NeddoFreddo]

A poll option I'd add is one about seasonal effects, and how items prevent the player from getting affected by them.
Currently it's not very obvious what hat you need to make in order to prevent the respective effects. There are character quotes, but that requires you to make the hats first, and there definitely isn't enough gameplay time to make random hats and see what each one does.
In my first playthrough, I ended up bruteforcing Humid season, as I had no idea how I was supposed to avoid the fog. My first Lush season played out similarly, I guessed a gas mask could help, but couldn't locate any Peagawks for the majority of the season. It's also anyone's guess that eating nettles and seed pods briefly cures hayfever as well.

5th from the bottom in the first category

I want more economic additions. Like making a special banker design. Hamlet was something I wanted to see from the Gorge.

If Klei checks out the game Swards and Potions 2(the first game is alright), there's some mechanics I'd love to see transported.

 

Maybe even a chance to own a shop! We could be a general store!

Honestly, I'd just settle for a bank where I can keep all of my money in, at the slight risk of a bandit sneaking in and occasionally nicking some of it.

Where ma antihistamines at? Seriously, does the Pig civilization not have Claritin?

Spoiler

So apparently nettles are a type of antihistamine...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19140159

Spoiler

Even though IRL nettles don't look like DS nettles

And it's best consumed in a tea.

It's kinda a double edged sword, not everybody knows medicinal herbs to treat seasonal allergies. That's what hay fever is by the way; it's just seasonal allergies, typically brought on by pollen allergens. It's non-misnomer name is Allergic rhinitis.

Spoiler

Stop the spread of archaic and misnomer names in my good Duplicant Don't Starve game.

Honestly Klei, fix your game.

Spoiler

This is a joke, please don't smite me Klei gods.

One pig issue I have with the DLC is that that artifact reward are always the same for every dungeon, which always pays out in 10 oincs.

 

I would like to see more focus on bigger dungeons with more traps, and maybe rare artifact items that need to be put together, or can be crafted into new materials.

Bringing back some of the excitement of going deep into the vanilla game caves, to fight hard enemies that payout in rare materials, for rare super powered items.

 

Doesn't feel great to see another artifact, go back to the city, trade the artifact in, buy a sandwich.

 

Hamlet is suffering from the same problem Shipwrecked has:

Lots of GREAT NEW CONTENT that is SUPER INTERESTING, with AMAZING ART... but none of it is integrated with old content, and there's less to do than in vanilla survival. In my first world of Hamlet I had seen almost everything it had to offer, even if I didn't yet have a chance to take advantage of it all.

 

I want them to go whole hog with the dungeons, I don't care much for the city building and house deco (as those are things that go against the core design of the game...), but dungeons are a fun mechanic that bring spelunking into the spotlight, rather than just being a late game venture.

Also, yes, I want antlion in there. He's my poofywoofer who's a whiny baby.

[YouKnowWho]

I’d personally like to see the pig villages to be given a little bit more life. Like, imagine if there were things you could only ever get from the pig village. Like, if you had to pay a blacksmith, get them the materials they need, and wait two or three days for them to make it to be able to make a sword or something. It’d really liven up the place. 

Plus, it’s always bothered me that the civilized pigs make that our survivors cobble together the exact same way. They weave backpacks into the same shape, they make crude razors out of rocks and sticks, and they cook the same dragon pies we do. While I’m fine with it as it is, as it’d be one heck of a strain on the artists, it’d be amazing to have little alternate skins for things in the pig village. I think it’d add a whole ton to the civilized asthetic.

It’s probably only a dream though, or a mod for the future. What would an axe made by a pig look like anyway? 

[Szczuku]

I'd diverse options a little. For example I want baby water boofs but idc about riding. 

Also things I'd add to that pole:

-rabid beetles dying off after humid season

-1 more character (that's not Warbucks/ has his perks)

-More ambiance for ruins etc

-More ruins content:  human and pig skeletons, floded rooms, more variety in ruins entrances 

-More music (deep jungle, entering the city etc)

-Special event when aporcalypse starts: theme, lightning strike, herald's demonic roar that echoes through the world.

[Machine Reaper]

I want ALLL things!
 

am I supposed to not tick everything?

Flooded rooms sound sick. They could either pull it off like SW's flooding (Having a wet floor and be slowed while gaining wetness) or a room with walkable borders and water tiles on the inside you'd need a boat for. (Perfect use for Cork Canoe as you can pick it up.)

[Alexias]

HAM

Don’t make the bosses in the   shipwrecked level (easy-boring)

New season there is only 3

Humid season need changes (filter is annoying)

Aporklypse need changes too, no one would turn it on if there is no reward for survining it.

Cap the number of bats to (10-12) 

Can guard pigs torch don’t set stuff on fire.

pig shops should reset every 5- days

Close wilba mouth 

SW

Walani and woodleg need to be useful outside SW

Revert Warly nerf or buff him

let us ride ballphin

RoG

Change Bundling wrap blueprint drop, it should be more harder to get other than killing bees

Exclusive RoG caves boss, when you kill him he will reset ruins.

Maybe add meteor for moonstone.

Potter wheels
