MondayNight Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 "Don't you hate it that Celestial Champion is summer locked?" Nope, I don't. I don't care. Yet I've also seen plenty cases when some (1-3) people rush CC in pubs and then just leave Moon Storms active for not-so-pleasant nights (always avoiding Gestalts, occasionally being put to sleep or being permanently semi-/insane is not my best and forced course of action) - not to mention the actual storms, compelling rest of players to deal with them one way or the other. I won't be keen on experience such stuff even earlier than 1st in-game year myself (ye, I play solely pubs). Yes, I can deal with it solo if instance occurs and am really annoyed by it, still sometimes I just wanna "spank some monke" without purpose, rhythm or rhyme and not to take upon peeps' unfinished/trolling $hit. For people on personal (and often private) servers: start in Spring - you already have the option at your disposal. Pubs aren't exclusively for rushing stuff.

Or join pub in Spring, most stop playing it anyway till that time. Or do it on Endless servers in multiple sessions. Or do it on Survival pubs with multiple sessions with friends keeping "server alive". You already got options. Is ok some events being locked behind "timestamps" - more-so if they supposedly are END GAME ones. Think at it similarly to how you have 20-days time-outs for almost all bosses take-downs.

Lokena Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Guille6785 said: imagine if you were playing some other videogame that takes maybe 10 hours to beat for the average player on their first playthrough, however it's like your 12th playthrough of it and you know all the levels purely from repetition and can beat it in ~3 hours, now imagine if suddenly after you beat the final level the game forced you to sit for 5 more hours before fighting the final boss just because "it's fair that the final boss should make you wait 8 hours at least" that's literally what so many people in this thread are praising, you're massively underestimating how long it takes to reach summer in irl hours saying "just play in spring" is missing the point, this isn't about how I play, it's how the game is designed, putting an 8 hour hard cap on an important boss is excessive You're confusing genres. In a game with levels, you can complete 10 hours of content in 3, because progress directly depends on the player and you get the next portion of content immediately after you finished the previous one. But DST doesn't work like that. It's partly a sandbox, so there is no obvious "progress" - people set their own goals. That's why seasons don't depend on the player's actions, they just happen and expect you to be ready for them. This is a feature of the genre, but because of it, the game simply can't know when people are ready for the next portion of content and what content it should be. And yet, it still somehow needs to separate the late game from the early one. Putting everything on timer is almost the only option in this case. It's only natural that the "final" boss requires an item from the late season, because it wasn't meant to be defeated on day one. Just like the apocalypse in Hamlet doesn't come right away. If you specifically want it, you can speed it up by changing the settings, but to compare DST with a linear story game is just incorrect. Especially because it really IS about how you play. Again, it's a sandbox. The game is customizable to your needs, summer can be made to come earlier, no one really forces you to wait. That being said, I want to clarify that personally I don't mind some additional way to get any item. DST is slowly moving towards full resource renewability. But if this other method is added, it should be reasonably complicated. It may not require that much time, and maybe not keep you waiting every three seasons between summers after the first year, but it still shouldn't be available immediately, because otherwise it breaks any semblance of pace that the game was originally trying to provide. A late game should remain late at least for the vast majority of regular players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case the game's philosophy and design is already stated by KLei: CC is locked behind 2nd year in-game.

I used to be part of such a team, mushing all available bosses by day 10-15. And no, BQ isn't "easy as hell", quite the hyperbole you got there. Maybe if you employ one of the exploits, some of which being topography/world-gen dependent, some character-dependent (Wendy, Wanda, Wolfgang), but over-all - shenanigans. Legit as a team? Sure, pretty easy, and again - teams of friends on different regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the contradiction: you blame my argument on personal preferences/play-style contradicting others but then assume all people have "good experiences" on anything but pubs. I had very bad experiences on personal servers (being kicked/banned/trolled) and community pubs (trolled, people hoarding, biased admins/moderators, imposed play-style via roles etc) alike. Also by yours and others arguments, removing Summer cap for CC will also be "extremely niche" since "server will barely ever progress and it'll get restarted before it can make it to cc 9 times out of 10". Who are those "it'd help many others" since rushing is such a niche play-style compared to bulk player-base anyway, more-so - CC rushers? In both cases is about very niche play-styles, but in one, where cap is removed, it creates problems for bulk player-base (at least for numbers going for pubs), even if "extreme niche". Bottom line: you already have options (enumerated above) if wanting to rush CC in current format. Only exception being those "official record speed-runs site" cases, where people - and if I remember well, OP too - posted on KLei forums in past their supposed "seeded worlds record rushes" no one pretty much cared about. Hence, in my view, this thread is basically a plead from record-rushers towards KLei to give them the opportunity to do them in less than 8h or so - something even more extreme than niche, and rather amusing for a sandbox game that enables multiple sessions from get-go.

Removing the summer cap wouldn't be niche because as you see people are all arguing with around the same reasoning. Your argument is niche because its only you making those points. And your examples would almost never happen cause first you'd need a pub which can sustain itself and then have people experienced enough to start up moonstorms quickly enough for it to be an annoyance and then have those people leave the server cause if they were able to rush they would be able to finish moonstorms quickly. Your evidence just doesn't make any sense cause the problem fixes itself. problem: people rushing cc and causing moon storms. Solution: those people who would have rushed cc would quickly finish it up because they had the capabilities to rush it so quickly in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of you running in such a world are next to 0. Even in the very unlikely situation where this would happen, this is supposed to be an "uncompromising survival game" not farmville. 33 minutes ago, x0-VERSUS-1y said: Only exception being those "official record speed-runs site" cases, where people - and if I remember well, OP too - posted on KLei forums in past their supposed "seeded worlds record rushes" no one pretty much cared about.
