Make Catcoons actually STEAL Wanda’s clocks.


Recommended Posts

The title of the thread says it all: I read This in the Official release announcement for Wanda.

I was under the impression that the normally peaceful to most characters Catcoon would Pounce Wanda on sight stealing one of her clocks from her inventory and she would need to chase it down and kill it to recover her stollen clock.

Very Similar to how Bunnymen aggressively try to murder you if your near them with Meat in your inventory.

From a Gameplay perspective- it makes Wanda waste more of her precious TIME having a unique interaction with an already existing mob.

From a LORE perspective- Cats are attracted to shining objects that make cute noises.. so obviously they’re going to want to take her pocket watches and run away with them.

(I had an actual house cat that would steal my kitchen silverware & take it under the couch with her, it took me quite some time to finally realize that when it’s out in the open and the light of my household lightbulbs were to shine on it.. she wanted the shiny fork, but when she got it under the couch and away from the light.. her new shining toy stopped shining so she would come out and steal another..)

Please Klei make Catcoons steal Wanda’s clocks as your post says they do! :wilson_love:

Stop

Why? It’s not like I’m asking for Catcoons to eat the clocks and them be gone Forever, I just simply want them to (much like a Pegomastix from Ark Survival Evolved) “pounce” towards Wanda like they do birds or butterflies and Steal away one of the clocks in her inventory before scurrying away. 
 

What Klei wants to do with it from there is their decision: Catcoons can run away from Wanda continuously like Grass Gecko, they could take the watches back to their Den like the Prime Ape from DS Shipwrecked, OR what I would prefer is they carry them off short distances before growing bored with them and leaving them behind.

now do keep in mind that when a FROG licks Wanda she drops these watches anyway…. So What exactly is the problem with it besides giving her one more Unique & charmingly adorable thing about her Gameplay?

So you're saying ... Now I can EXTERMINATE them without remorse? Now THAT is some QoL change! 

Please no

This sounds annoying and adds nothing to the game

People want a downside for Wanda, one that isn’t “too difficult” that people stop playing her altogether, but something fun & unique to Wanda..

And as someone who has been playing Ark Survival Evolved Since it’s early beta days: This would be roughly the same as Pegomastix or Itchysarous (two highly annoying Dinosaurs programmed to steal from you like a thief in the night) The Itchy actually ATE your Items if they were eatable- making things like Fertile baby eggs go POOF Forever.. I’m NOT asking for that.. instead I want Pegomastix like behavior, where they Steal them and run away with them making Wanda have to chase down & kill them to Recover her Clocks.

They wouldn’t run away forever, and will probably leave the clock outside their Den because it stops being “Shiny” when taken into the dark.

she does have a downside and its a big reason why people play her: losing health at a constant rate and only being able to heal with one item

please stop referencing other videogames it has nothing to do with any topic 99% of the time

This is silly, your asking a video game playing individual who is on a video game forum to stop referencing other video games.. what would you prefer I reference then? Movies?? Music? Books?

Video games fit best.. I am so very sorry if YOU do not understand the references, but I’m sure Some people out there will.

Which for the people who DO understand the references they also understand how I’m asking for the version in DST to work.. So yes it is 155% on topic but, thank you for your input.

Why did Klei even add additional code to Catcoons to steal Wanda’s clocks and clock parts if they will only do so when Wanda places these items on the ground?? If a Wanda never has to actually DROP her clocks and in some cases even respawns from death with them still in her inventory: What was the point in giving Catcoons such a useless never going to be actually experienced in game-play change?

Which leads me to my original post: Please Klei let Catcoons actually STEAL them from Wanda’s inventory.. Of course it would be annoying: That’s the whole point!!! But it would be manageable, and make more sense then stealing them only when Wanda leaves them on the ground.
