MagicalSkies Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Share your opinions! I honestly think it’s a fair downside to his perks considering early game I get honey (and sometimes for bee boxes) And I absolutely hate killer bees so there’s that...not to mention bee queen, but I don’t really fight optional bosses unless it’s for a challenge or something, though I know many of you do! Her drops are pretty good, and from what I’ve seen the grumblebees are a bit annoying Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/119056-what-do-you-think-of-walter%E2%80%99s-allergy-of-bee%E2%80%99s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowick Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I don't remember the last time I was stung by bees, you can just walk past an entire swarm of bees with no injury. If these were Don't Starve's bees, they'd have sniper rifles for stingers.

Lovely Roses Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Yeah I think it's fair and I would really like to see how the bee queen fight would play out as him.

Scrimbles Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 It seems like a superfluous downside, nothing in his kit has anything synergy with bees, or honey, or bee boxes, or anything. Same goes for the rest of his perks and 'downsides'. Not to mention the fact that getting hit by bees rarely ever happens, even if you are going for bee boxes early on.

Brubs Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Given the bee queen kite pattern, is pretty difficult to attack her 100% of the time, so if Walter (being ranged) attacks her, She should focus him. The allergy ensures he also has to to be more careful with this particularry boss. In my opinion its a very specific downside but it ensures he is not op killing the bee. It's also a very themed downside (kids and allergies) which i really like Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/119056-what-do-you-think-of-walter%E2%80%99s-allergy-of-bee%E2%80%99s/#findComment-1343032 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel12 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I just hope it has an animation, like his face gets puffy. If it's just that bees do more damage to health. Then that's REALLY lame.

Wumpus the 19th Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 i would say some sort of speed down to walter while waltzing past bees. mostly to keep them very bad throughout by making him, say, lose speed once a bee gets close enough to trigger the allergies, with either a full speed loss at enough bees while still having a short allergy radius so when the bees kite walter regains speed and can get out or caps out at a speed down but bees can be far and still affect walter. that's how i'd make it a bit more of a downside and not just a novelty that removes an aspect of food production and an entire boss.

SleepyAsian Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 If he has allergies to bees, I believe it should include everything that has bee components such as stingers. Meaning blow darts, boosters, etc should actually make him take damage. This makes it a lot harder to cheese because now he really has to avoid damage. This also makes it so where getting things like the tom o' shanter and walking cane from McTusk a lot more dangerous. I do love the range concept of the character but he also feels like one of the easiest survivors to be released so far. Until release and we get exact damage and insanity drain numbers though I could be wrong.

Try that on servers with whom you got >100 ping. And before writing "Oh you scrub, go for 30 ping ones or something!" a lot of people don't have that option going for them, either because no such servers are available, bad internet connection, rubberbanding or all above. For example my closest Dedicated server (in my country, as an irony) has atm ~90 ping. KLei official ones (at least 2 of them) run for me at around 70 ping. Thus running through Killer Bees Biome sometimes can result in stinging. Also for bulk player-base (newbies/noobs/casuals) seems like a fair downside. We will see in a couple of hours if this character will be niche and how exactly is balanced.

luvu2bits Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I'm not going to make any calls until we see it in action, since we have no idea HOW much more damage bees are gonna do. Obviously BQ is gonna be a huge issue, but in terms of doing things like destroying hives and collecting honey... it's going to be harder, but how much? I may have to actually resort to pigs to destroy a hive... Or, you know. Just play with my Wendy main friend.

SaltyWarly Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Will see how this would work. Can a single hit from a bee be deadly?

ArubaroBeefalo Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 i think is to make beequeen fight more challening (just more healing for required) and i dont see how can klei fit it into other perk to "make sense".
