Maxil20 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Wetness for WX recently got changed to be much more punishing, doing roughly 9 damage + one charge loss every 4 seconds if you have 15 or more wetness. While I think this is fine if you are ~90-100 wetness, it does not feel good for this to occur that early on, especially when "instant" sources (like oars/water ballons) will fill you over that threshold and easily sap ~30 HP and half of your charge slots trying to setup a fire to reduce below that threshold, on top of the fact you need to have 100% wetness protection to actually decrease wetness if it's still raining. I enjoy the concept of WX being much more penalized for taking wetness damage, but I do feel it should progressively scale with how much you currently have. doing 1-2 damage every few seconds and only slowly losing charge makes sense for ~15-30 wetness, and 40+ is where it should really start scaling to super high amounts. You would still be pretty heavily penalized for going above 15 wetness, but it wouldn't be astronomically punishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouKnowWho Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 That seems like a fair compromise to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Nick- Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I don't know. If klei made it increase damage by wetness percentage, it might make wetness a joke again. For how easy it is to delay/avoid wetness, i think it is in a good spot. Just means you need to play around the downside. I find it fine as is. But we all have different opinions so.

loopuleasa Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Didn't test it, I thought it was already like that? How does it scale even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When over the 15 wetness threshold (its maybe 20? Its around there), you take 9 damage every 4 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 4 damage every 4 seconds, then it triples afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopuleasa Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I personally think it is fine what even was the old damage rate? I think 2 damage every 4 seconds is still higher than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it could work. Im just hesitant right now since it's an actually meaningful downside for once. I just don't want klei to make it a joke again.

But it can't be too forgiving to the point where it sacrifices itself for newer players. Thats what the stats on the character screen are for, to show players the Character's perks and weaknesses. I can see the current water damage being a bit too punishing now to newer players. Im more on making water damage scale now, i was a bit hesitant, thats all.
