Other characters changes during beta

[00petar00]

I really feel like these changes that have been happening to mostly Wurt and now Wormwood during WX-78 beta testing are so important.

Characters that may have stayed the same for a long time can get their buff or QOL changes when some of their abilities may have felt like they didn't work as intended or a bit underwhelming.

With how packed klei's schedule is with the upcoming big updates and refreshes, i don't think that these characters would have received any changes for at least a year if it didn't happen like it is now on the side of another refresh.

I am really hoping to see this trend continue as this is also really helpful to keep the characters up to par with others and with maintenance they may not require a refresh in the future.

As long as it isn’t overworking Klei’s schedule, I’m good with it.. but there are some things people want that just doesn’t make any sense..

(like Willow to be able to hold floating fireballs over the palm of her hand) 

Warly was also added to the game as a Rework, not a new character- Meanwhile Wormwood was added as a new character.

This gives me just a slight glimmer of hope that if Klei is going to stick to this schedule of WX78+Wurt Rework..

That I may see Walani refreshed alongside Wilson, Wickerbottom or Maxwell.

Then again- probably not so I won’t get my hopes up.

It's really nice to see how much community input has gone into this patch so far.

I feel like several of the hot fixes have been made in specific response to our threads, so if any developer happens to be reading this, please let Willow use big bernie on the lunar island. I want to kill the celestial champion with my giant stuffed bear.

To me, it feels like even if they are a bit behind on schedule, it seems worth it.

I've noticed that as well and i didn't even know how bernie works with lunar island, i think that Willow needs something more to go along with what you suggested.

It seems strange that she is 6th most played character currently.

I would not focus too much on collateral changes.

This patch was wurt's QOL patch, and a small wormwood buff since they forgor

But let Klei do these changes naturally, there are more patches in the future. Diverting focus to too many areas in one patch can affect quality.

These changes are probably not important to everyone but if you take it with consideration, you wouldn't want characters that you play to stay the same for years until their eventual refresh if they don't fit the direction the game is going or are feeling weak because of the recent updates.

Also worth noting is that them doing these changes along the big updates and patches, they can maybe even conserve effort in the long run because of maintenance, if they can do these changes well enough and hit precisely the right spots when it comes to characters that are in a bad spot they may not need to do a character refresh in the future.

As you said, klei should do these changes on a smaller scale, i am not saying that they should ever be the main focus or take over the patch but if there is a few small changes like these often, they could be very helpful when it comes to players enjoyment of their favorite characters.

I get it's still technically true but i still feel like describing it like this is really underselling it especially when you compare it to Wendy's refresh.
