DST/Terraria crossover? What? Is there something I missed?

Any of the threats in terraria would absolutely decimate anything in the Don't Starve universe in a second.  It's like putting Dragonball Z characters in another world.  I get that it'd be cool as a fun crossover event but making a contrived explanation for how these godly-level threats from other games are introduced to the constant and ''weakened'' to justify them being in the constant without being able to blow everything up with a glance would tarnish the game in my opinion.

Power-scaling is a completely different argument, but even then we're not talking about Moon Lord here.

If I can beat an Eye of Cthulhu with Wooden Arrows in Terraria I can beat it with tools made of Concentrated Nightmares in DST. Or just a Spear if we wanna talk similar materials.

It's not the wooden bow that beats him, it's  you as the chosen terrarian. Otherwise the NPC's with magical powers would be able to kill it.

You're speaking from a Watsonion perspective, I would actually be very hostile against crossovers if they tried to -seriously- make them a part of the canon in Don't Starve. Y

You seem to be one of the few other people not indoctrinated into the hive-mind.

That’s Terraria, not DST.. And just because something is a Boss in one game.. doesn’t mean it’ll be a Boss in the one it’s Crossing Over with.

Watch the Teaser from Terraria’s side: it only shows an Eyeball “Port” in, look at Wilson for a second and then “port” out. That isn’t the animation starting over- it’s a full animation loop.. I’m not exactly seeing “Boss” from that Teaser.

For all we know that Eye could just pop in spying on us then open up small “rifts” in the sky that spawn Terraria Mobs.

Doesn’t have to always be some Uber hardcore Boss.

AND If you look at the Teaser Klei Released of Deerclops in Terraria you don’t see it wrecklessly smashing around knocking down all the trees and smashing all your base up like it does in DST..

Im Pretty sure you guys are just looking a little too deep into this Cross-Over stuff.

But why you think that adding something to dst from other game must be with the exactly lore?

That eye in terraria might come to you because of something and in dst can be used to fill other niche. Is like saying that adding deerclops or other dst creatures to terraria will break terraria because there is no sanity food. Each game, i hope, will try to fit the creatures into their game but that doesnt mean that lorewise we are being atacked by the exact same eye than in terraria

It's very different. Terrarias style is not as beholden to it's lore as DST is which allows them to experiment with random quirky things, also the cross-over events in Terraria are explicitly non-canon, not that Terraria has much of a story anyway.

 

I don't mind a fun cross-over event where bosses from Terraria etc are here, with the option to disable it if I want. That's all fine and good and I would be interested.

 

If they try to seriously make the constant a hub-world for cross-dimensional gaming universes like dead by daylight did, I would be highly disappointed. From a lore perspective, all of these other random games have no place in DST's lore.  Again if it's acknowledged as being non-canon I don't mind, it's the possibility that they might try to use the unexplained nature of the constant to justify having say.... Goku find his way into the constant as a playable character that would disappoint me.

imagine this: Re-logic love terrobeak design but they think that it would fit more in terraria as boss. DST player can say "but that isnt a bossss weeeee" but the truth is that they can use whatever design to inspire a new mob/boss or a plant that looks like wilson

I don't think this is really capturing what I am trying to say, I'm getting the feeling I am being misunderstood by practically everyone in this thread so I will try to state again my position.

 

I do not mind adding in Terraria bosses to DST, I don't mind having crossovers.

 

What I do mind is if they make a conscious decision to include these actual crossovers into canon, and reshape the mechanics of the constant to justify this.  As long as it's definitively non-canon fun, I'm okay with it.

 

 

Like if they had a plants vs zombies crossover where the player could build sentry-plants and hound-waves were replaced with zombies for a time, or maybe we had a houndius shootius skin for a good time, cool. That could lead to some interesting things. If they additional try to seriously tell me that Charlie opened some wormhole in the constant to conscript an army of zombies to attack the cast and then dialed up her extra-dimensional cellphone to ask the moon lord to use his eye to spy on the main cast and kidnap Hat Kid from the constant to use her time pieces to thwart Wanda I would stop taking the entire lore of the game seriously and would just make the game take a serious nosedive in quality for me.

 

What's important to me is whether or not they make these crossovers canon.

that is what i try to explain, the could add it in a way that fits and doesnt feel like "a thing forced into the game from another game". I understand that you dont like cross overs being cannon, me neither, but i also thing that it doesnt mean that it cant be done well

for example moonlord from terraria can have his own lore in dst with nothing related to terraria, they can just share desing and some atacks

[Mike23Ua]

I don’t think the terraria stuff is going to be a bunch of boss fights, I just really feel like Klei wouldn’t limit who can enjoy that content and wouldn’t force it on players unprepared for it.

You can clearly see from the two teaser gifs, Deerclops isn’t wrecking trees as he goes through terraria & the eye only pops in to look at Wilson then disappear.

I highly doubt they’re going to be ported into the other game and play IDENTICAL to how they play in the game they came from (if they did that eye wouldn’t just look in and disappear and Deerclops would wreck those trees it walks past)
