Well-met Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 9 minutes ago, Shpee said: first off, you said absolutely nothing about wilson here, second off, its not "why should i pick wilson over this" its "why should i pick this over the other characters" Beard aside, wilson is the core standard to balance around. He's the flavorless, basic, jack-of-all-trades class. Giving a downside to another character with their own handful of special perks is what prevents this new build from overshadowing the basic class (and keep the latter viable). If you look to give downsides to a character, you ask yourself why would you ever pick the basic class over this new character. From a power play perspective, there's zero reason to pick wilson over wino or wortox. Hence why I'm pointing out this is likely what's gonna happen to all other chars. This is probably Klei's plan to make every character have almost no downside and instead make them all powerful/useful within their own niches. So far I agree this new Willow isn't exactly outstanding but there's still alot of revisions coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop overexadurating the fact that she needs pernament Fire Immunity, there's literally nothing that does force you to stand in Fire for longer than a few seconds... No. -You can choose where to use fire, you aren't being *forced* to use it in the middle of a forest. -Sanity Gain is based off of how close the fire is, and the max is when Willow is right on top of it. Dipping in and out of this is impractical. -Being caught on fire by Larvae/Lava Pools lasts longer than 3 seconds (Willow's current fire immunity) and you'll start taking a good amount of damage before it wears off. -Same as above. -Fire damage stacks, and during late game it can be extremely powerful. Also going by your logic, we could say that every type of late-game item is a waste of time if you can just football helm/dark sword things away. -Meh.

zVince Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I think a flamethrower in place of the lighter would be nice. Joking apart. I loved the Rework. It didn't make she so strong, not so weak, let's say balanced. In relation to a time of immunity to fire, I think fair, why someone would stay be more than 6 seconds in the fire? (do not know if it is that time even) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SightKeeper Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thank you so much for all your hard work, Klei team! And please, please take all the time you need, as the health of your group should always come first - it's heartening to see your deadlines relax a bit, though even the current projected timeline is still an impressive goalpost! I really look forward to what's to come, and thank you for taking the time to make sure the quality of the game and the well-being of your work force come first!

seffard Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Willow is one of my favorite chars and Im ok with this rework. But I would be happy if there was an active combat perk, not only passives like fire immunity and resistance. Something that would fit her pyrokinesis: -Make her cast fire from a fire source when she overheats, so that she conditionally becomes a living fire staff at her health cost. I expect "several seconds" and fire resistance to be a bit more than what's been set. It would be nice to optimize the lighter's durability for cooking, maybe 0,5% for each cook from the current 1%. I wonder if bernie's warmth will add to other fire sources and warm her faster. That would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSAiswatchingus Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The Willow changes sound cool. Total fire immunity seems like it would be OP. DST isn't an 'uncompromising' as DS so I think it's okay that she isn't as "powerful" as her DS counterpart. As for the content push back, I'm a little heart broken knowing the new content won't hit consoles until at least late June. The silver lining is I get more time to play in my current world before I roll up a new one. y'all got any more of them twitch skins though?

The 2C3D Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 This is a friendly reminder that sewing kits fully restore Bernie. Also there’s no need to go nuclear over what exactly happens when Willow stands in fire for seven continuous seconds. I can’t imagine what the poor people at Klei must be thinking right now, like, this is saltier then the in-game chat when a level 1 quick-matches into a 20+ Forge server. ‘Twould be nice if her lighter didn’t degrade in her hand, though. I’m one of those people who can’t bring themself to use resources. seriously though I’ve been playing Hollow Knight and I won’t even use ONE of my 3000+ essence to dream-gate. I have a problem.

Lmao. first off, again, it is not polluting if it is on topic, we are perfectly on topic, i have given my argument, that being that the rework does not make willow a powerful or intresting character to play as, thus it requires to be rethought, you have been defending said rework, saying that it is balanced to characters such as wilson, and i gave my argument back, speaking of most of the new upsides, and the downside, showing why they are either weak, negligable, or unneeded, the fact that you diverge from this argument, and likely did not even bother to read what i said in the wall of text post previous, shows that your argument does not stand up to mine, if you wish to continue this, please read my previous posts and create tangible arguments against, thank you and good day.

GenomeSquirrel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 23 minutes ago, FreyaMaluk said: NOW, Bernie: He will be much more useful in everyday situations regardless of fire. I think they are pretty much basing Bernie with some Forge elements. He is pretty much gonna work as a Bodyguard aggroing mobs.. not only shadows and attacking them as well I believe this is a great idea that can make Willow independent.. she probably can now help with some spider farming too.. and in general much more useful in everyday survival for the cold winter days she won't be needing to be fire immune standing on top of fires or lava pools to stay warm... or gain sanity... This could pretty much compensate the use or winter hats and kinda outclasses fire immunity for winter times IMO... thermal + bernie new willow winter meta As much as I would enjoy fire immunity I realize that having a bodyguard Bernie might be a good change into another direction... he could probably be useful in the caves taunting shadow monkeys for farming too.. dunno Bernie stats to assert this at the moment.. Just throwing some ideas.. So,,, maybe asking for fire immunity is just resistance to change the focus to something else entirely that has very few niche benefits? but that's already Abigail's job ...

Canis Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 And on top of @MrDeepDarkmind and @Mr.Mulk's posts we have: -Fully automated catapults able to make boss slaying a mundane task. -A character that can heal an infinite amount of HP by killing very very weak mobs. -Books that generate a near-infinite amount of food and can be used multiple times, along with it not being hard to craft.
