thedude1320 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 So they told us that with new update they will be releasing new characters to dst. So i beg devs not to make a mistake and think of it before they do it ,cuz i see they added new characters to Hamlet and for me they are so random and some look like they dont fit in to the world.So pls make good ideas and dont add some random stuff with no sense just for sales.

avilmask Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Are you talking about Wormwood? How's he more random than Webber? Also Wormwood is a first character with very different survival mechanics, I just can't dislike him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axxel Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't see your problem here. Do you think they are going to release the Hamlet characters? That's unlikely. Even after DST beta was over only ROG was added and Shipwrecked and Hamlet will still be exclusive to singleplayer. And it wouldn't make sense to keep the 4 new characters secret if they want to add Wilba and Wormwood. They will reuse old concepts and assets they hadn't found an appropiate place to put in, e.g. Wortox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapirus Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 *remembers the moment when the Hamlet forum was suddenly full of "warbucks is dead" threads in less of 24hrs & the several times where Winona was called "plain, boring or a failure" by most people* Yes, I got the point. I think Klei is trying to don't repeat some situations and that's why the new characters are being added slowly (to see the future opinions about it). However, if any problem appears, I hope gets fixed soon. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a youtube comment section. IMO, telling the devs "don't make bad characters" is useless. Klei has built up a lot of good will with me, so I don't see them Frankensteining some perks and negatives together and calling it a character. Besides, we're going to be getting a lot of new content (more content = more development time = lots of $$$ invested) which is funded SOLELY through the new characters. If Klei wants to come out with a net positive, they need a lot of people to buy the new characters. Klei can't really afford to make bad characters.

Sinister_Fang Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Looking at the recent character changes in Hamlet... I think they're on the right track of making interesting characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new system will also allow that If a new character is not of your liking, you can just not purchase her/him/it. It is definitely in their best interest to make them interesting enough. Whats happening on Hamlet can be seen as their experiment to get closer to the kind of character content that we want in DST as well. They know. Also I believe this is part of the motivation to rebalance the other characters, If they are going to add new "Wickerbottoms" (I use her as an example of a resourceful, powerful, interesting character) they just want to everyone, both old and new characters, to be interesting enough and about on the same "power level" page. Otherwise a lot of people could feel cheated that they get a free "Winona" or a free "Willow" when you can purchase "Wickerbottom 2". And if your budget doesn't allow you to purchase the new ones, or you just want to wait to weave/earn them, its gonna be fine too since you will have the roster of current characters to be about as powerful and fun as the new ones. I think this is their line of thinking on the matter, to completely avoid the P2W or dividing the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not adding random things (the content has been planned since a while), and I'm sure the new characters will fit well into the game.

These are exactly my thoughts. It is kinda the same in every other game with paid characters. You NEED to make the new characters powerful/interesting enough to make people be like "i want it". For me, Wortox seems extremely out of place at first glance, but we'll see... Maybe he becomes one of my favorites, i cannot know yet. For now Hamlet is in the right track, and i was one of those who thought Warbucks was not really an interesting character, but Wormwood and Wilba have good ideas on them. Can't wait to see the new ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
