Another rant

Look at the real ocean its pretty empty. Ocean doesn't have to be full of content, its suppose to be a ocean.

Look at real forests and they're pretty empty too. This isn't some realistic nature documentary (and even if it was the ocean would be full of beautiful flora and fauna beneath the waves), it's a videogame.

Whoever mains either WX, Wolfgang or Wicker should hardly be trusted.

Welp, sorry @SkyistheGround, guess I can’t trust ya anymore. :P 

All jokes aside, bad experiences with people playing those characters, Pando? I find it interesting how people tend to state players playing certain characters can’t be trusted, while I’ve had sorta bad experiences with players playing most, if not all, the characters, aaaand I’ve only played survival on pubs for a few months.

As a console player, I hate that my base will never be lined up perfectly and I have to hammer/rollback in order to make it look nice.

[ALCRD]

Wurt not being able to eat leafy meat and leafy meat specific recipes.

Despite her being able to eat butterflies which are also plant-animal hybrids just like creatures that drop leafy meat.

Plus leafy meat grows from a plant too..

I mean i am not expecting Wurt to chow down on meatballs but at least those "vegan" specific leafy dishes.

Also Wurt getting trinkets from Merm King despite her not being able to personally use them.

Just give Merm King chance to drop gold as one of his gifts :<

Microtransactions in paid game are pretty bruh, and I don't care if it's skins or gameplay-affecting content. If DST was f2p - fine, make money as you want, but take a full price for the game and then add paywall content inside of it... :/

If you don't want to buy skins, then you'll need to grind for spools, and it'll take so freakin' many hours to get the elegant you want or even a character, even if you will unravel every skin you get and get all 15 of them during a week. Remember - microtransactions are good friends with repetitive actions.

Ah, and a Trade Inn, how can I forget that? Who the hell said in Klei that adding a casino into the game is a good idea? You put commons/classy/spiffy in there to get a chance to win something valuable and what exceeds the starting price of what you put in there, same as with slot machine. 

I think that the monetization system is pretty good, with the exception of the fact that buying individual DLC characters means you have to also pay for their skins.

The game itself is fine being a combination, especially considering that it often goes on sale for $5, and you get two copies of the game. So $3 for the game if you have a month of patience. 

The DLC characters I also agree with, because all of them are more difficult to manage for newer players.

Really, there's not much wrong with the system. Skins are cosmetic.

More of a brag than a rant but...

Sometimes more freedom is a bad thing. I'd like qol mods to see my beefs health because I can never tell if its fully healed or not causing me to waste some food. A mod so I can align my chests in a nice straight line.

However, when I see how destructive mods can be in the pc community and how interruptive, I'm kind of glad we don't have them. 

There should still be a nice way to line up chests though...

and how interruptive,

I will always choose mods over no mods, they are an amazing thing that either adds utility or even brand new content to the game and so on.

But my god, if I have to see 6 people with a hound warning/greifer detection mod yell all at the same time "HOUND ATTACK IN 45 SECONDS", "PLAYERNAME HAS EQUIPPED A HAMMER." one more time then I'm going to split my skull in half.

Yeah... That doesn't sound very fun... With great power comes great responsibility... I guess.

I'm quite sad that character's voices have gone from instruments that showed their personalities;

• fast flute for Willow
• loud and heavy brass horns for Wigfrid
• slow flute for Wendy
• out of tune ukelele for Walani

to more centered around the character's premise;

• fiddle for Wortox
• wet gargling for Wurt
• hand whistle for Walter
• clock chimes for Wanda

Tbf, whistle for a guy who likes to traverse forests without a care about anything other then happiness of the creatures in it sounds ok.
As does clock chimes for an unpatient and sarcastic character.
As for wortox, how is a fiddle centered around healing others and jumping all over, while eating life essense of creatures? Fiddle would fit some jester like character, who likes to troll others (which Wortox is). So I'd say the fiddle choice is based on his personality more then on his premise.
Finally as for wurt, I don't think that gargling sounds are bad for her. After all, she should sound somewhat like merms do. It's more about how thay play with those sounds, and if she sounds curious, friendly and child-like. Which I can't really judge - i haven't play her in a while.

On the other hand, one could make the argument, that loud and heavy brass is centered around Wigfrid's premise too.

Maybe character personalities are often tied to their premise and gameplay? I don't see how that is a bad thing. If they had completely different personalities from their premise, people would only argue, that it doesn't make sense.

Geometric placement not being at least a setting is what throws me off from buying it on anything else. It's such an important part of the game that Im surprised Klei hasn't added it.

RUINS FOR GOD'S SAKE PLEASE SPAWN CORRECTLY.

Yes, but i feel like people want way more content in the ocean. Listen, i get it. Part of me wants it too. But i dont want it firmed to brim with islands.

for example thats my only complaint in ((TROPICAL EXPERIENCE MOD)) the ocean is too full of stuff imo.

More content yes, but with moderation.

A fiddle and demons together are usually a reference to The Devil Went Down To Georgia.

Oh, I thought that by "premise" you mean, what new mechanics are the characters supposed to bring to the table.
I think i get you now. You are sad, that the instruments are connected to their looks and are centered around the tropes/stereotypes that those characters represent? In that case i could get behind your sadness, although probably not so passionatelly. I like trope subversion. Abiding by it is not a deal breaker for me though. In other words, I'm glad i have at least a surface understanding of a character just by listening to their instruments.

nah, you can't get rid of him if he spawns behind a structure, so doing a boat base doesn't work out.  The amount of BS you have to deal with while he's up is just stupid and makes sailing much more of a chore.  Especially with his sanity threshold for appearing being so high.

Without being able to base on the ocean I don't see much reason to waste timing boating.  Just build a raft on shore near the resource you need, go out / come back, done.  Pretty easy to set up a bridge too.  Sucks because for a little while boat basing and treasure hunting was fun.

I really hate how uninspired the Bee skin looks for Walter:

Why could they not make it look something like this?:

[Mike23Ua]

More Ocean Content part 2- I hate that there’s this large mostly empty area of the game that COULD have islands with as much content as the Lunar islands.. but instead we are getting these bite sized areas like Water Logged or Salt Formations, I get it… Klei wants to give us places to sail to & do stuff- but I was expecting HUGE content rich areas, for example- if you started out ON Lunar Island and then you sail to the main starting area biomes that Entire cluster of land surrounded by a body of water is still called an ISLAND.

So yeah- Technically the entire United States of America is one big Island.

And I was hoping Klei would add huge new masses of land the same size & scope of Lunar to explore ON FOOT that doesn’t require the Boat to be involved in anything other then traveling there.

Because for ME the Boat is starting to feel like the Batmobile in Batman Arkham Knight- Aka.. shoehorned into every segment of the game they can possibly cram it into even when it doesn’t belong there to the point people end up hating it.

I just want to use the boat to sail to new Areas.. not use the boat throughout my entire experience in that new area..

Hopefully 2022 brings a new Turn of Tides sized “Island” to go explore.

Lunar has several biomes, tons of new mobs, resources and craftables, it even had its very own weather effect exclusive to the Island.

I want to see more Islands like that each with its own atmosphere, mobs, resources and weather.

Another thing I want to rant about: The Discontinuation of Lunar Horror Mobs after we only got 3 of them.. this is HIGHLY disappointing- as someone who grew up on tv shows like Batman, Gargoyles & Mighty Max I welcomed these bizarre looking mobs 

I just feel like in 2021 people have become so sensitive to every little thing.. I mean are we living in a world now where a PG-13+ Rated game has to have more Censorship to its content then the Powerpuff Girls & Courage the Cowardly Dog?

I guess I understand Klei’s decision to discontinue lunar horrors, but… they could’ve at the very least created an optional DLC pack I could buy for these Mobs that look like they stepped straight out of an Episode of Mighty Max, Courage or the Powerpuff Girls. 

I also hate that Walani hasn’t been added to the game yet but there’s a sailable ocean now, I can play as Walani in Solo DS outside of Shipwrecked or Hamlet where there’s no ocean to explore at all- so it just feels “weird” for to not be in a game that actually has an ocean to explore, yet can be used throughout the entire single player Ocean-less Adventure Mode Campaign.

okay I think I’m done venting for today.. peace 

(Edit: turns out I was not done venting for today.. get over it, a venting thread is for venting, skip posts if you don’t want to read them.)

Yeah that really sucks, it doesn't affect me personally since I always build my boats in a way that they don't obstruct the edge(Not specifically for Wavey, I just like having the freedom to be able to move all around the boat smoothly, and if a object obstructs me then I really don't enjoy that) But I really do think they should make it so Wavey specifically tries to not spawn near/on a structure with physical collision. Having to hammer a structure just because you placed it on the edge to try and get rid of Wavey sounds awful for those who do build on the edge.
