Having said that I DO really Wish you guys would start thinking up some new abilities that YOU could realistically see these Klei Official Characters getting in their Refresh for DST instead of just being direct single player port overs. Take Wheeler as just an Example: It’s as simple as allowing her Pewmatic to be upgraded to fire Electrical Bolts, using 1 Electrical Doodad, 1 Gear & 2 Frazzled Wires.. This not only lets her deal Damage over Time to DST’s Enemies (Which have significantly more health then their Single Player Counterparts..) but it ALSO now allows her to shoot her Electric Darts at WX78 on her TEAM to Charge him.

Harassing.. no, simply saying that Walani, Wheeler etc sucks.. without providing any in depth reasoning as to why they feel that way? Plenty. But I always say the same thing, regardless of how loved or unloved Walani, Wilbur, Woodlegs, Wheeler, Wilba & Wagstaff are, they all have a group of players who possibly even Main playing as them. So in the end excluding any of those 6 out of DST only prevents those who would enjoy them from being able to play as their favorite character. Another pretty decent Reason they need to be in DST is because JoeW said we would be getting a lot more DS game Lore in 2020, So yeah I would kinda like the entire cast of everyone who has ever been thrown into the Constant to have some Lore.

The machete can be used to harvest grass, twigs, thorny bushes, cactus, reeds, ect - with the time of a single attack animation and no retaliate damage. The spyglass and pirate hat do what they did in SW, help you reveal the map quicker, especially at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walani isn’t a pirate captain.. these sound more like Woodlegs perks. though who’s going to complain when there’s a chill surfer gal riding a wave right towards you while carrying a machete? I know I sure won’t While some of the details are shady, there is a theory that she was a pirate before riding the waves. We know she was at least a fighter of some type on the seas due to her quotes for these items: https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Cutlass_Supremehttps://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Hathttps://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Swordfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueGamer12 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Good idea to make her balanced. When she's gets onto her surfboard, it breaks and she'll drown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I kind of hope that when/if Walani comes to the game that they seriously will slightly decrease the size of river streams that run down the middle of land Biomes that way Boat Kits can’t be thrown over into them & hopped merrily across.. But a Walani passing around Surfboards to other players can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus this line of thinking will turn Walani into a one-time use, pick and drop character like Winona. People are merely going to switch to her, make her surfboard, place it in a gap, and switch back out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfboard don’t become Boat Kits, they’re like Boats.. you pick them up and place them again and again and can actually ride around on them. Which in turn... actually uses significantly LESS resources then putting out a billion Boat Kits. The difference would be that they require Walani to craft. Its far more then just a one time placed Boat Raft, it’s more like the hounds who can swim and go wherever they want as many times as they want.. except the Surfboards have a Durability meter before they break and new ones need to be crafted. Its not like Winona’s Stationary structures you craft once and then never play as Winona again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the gap's size is larger than a surfboard, place more until the bridge is complete, and hop from one surfboard to another. Just like using surfboards/log rafts/bamboo rafts as bridges in SW rivers. This should take roughly 3 - 4 surfboards on regular rivers, and just one in your idea to make rivers smaller. Compare the costs. a Boat bridge composed of 1 boat takes 8 boards total inclusive of the boards needed to make the Think Tank. your river size idea + surfboard will probably take only 2 boards. This further incentivizes players to simply mass produce surfboards as Walani, and then switch to a better character. If we really need valuable suggestions, we need suggestions that make a character a unique character that's interesting to play in their own right, not suggestions that give them niche, one-time uses that will eventually not be a fun experience unique to them.

Owlrust Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I feel like the amount of work needed to remake the character to fit DST, be more useful/interesting, and also retain their original identity would be far more tedious than it would be to just make an entirely new character; plus, I believe people get more hyped for something new and fresh (and willing to buy products for) than for something re-associated. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walani’s Kit is, was and always will be personal surfboards.. I’m sure Klei will come up with something additional to go with that... but she should clearly excel at Water Related activities.

But that's just me. I think that is just you /s But for real - for people who aren't familiar with Wilani she is practically a new character, for people who are familiar it might be a chance to enjoy her as she wasn't exatly the best ShipWrecked survivor to play. I don't know how much would have to be reworked either... as water is basically the only thing you need to make her fun to play as... You're welcome to not like her, but I'd buy her first thing with all skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryak Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I don't think Walani would be great, that just seems way too op. Not just for getting to the lunar island, but for getting between branches in general. I think if any shipwrecked character should join DST it should be that pirate guy (Cant remember his name rn). With a few tweaks to his craftables I think he would be a good and intergratable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/7/2020 at 7:57 PM, Canis said: 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. Also it's not difficult at all to make a boat and put it in between land branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
