What are your unpopular opinions about DST or forums?

[pyroisshy]

every characters downsides should be more severe so that Wilson is better in comparison

After seeing Wick's rework I'm afraid of what they will do to Maxwell and (possibly) Wilson

Klei always finds a way.

[Guille6785]

I really dislike the creative direction the game has taken, not in terms of gameplay or art style but just in the style of the new content, I feel like I would've liked the caves and world to be more fleshed out before they jumped to the ocean

[LitulLola]

That creative control over survivor reworks and updates should mostly be left to Klei. They have a much Broder picture of where the game is headed then our limited window as we see it. We cant take into account future additions to the game. Our feedback should be more about how that content could be exploited or about creative ideas for fun additions to the game.

being able to kill bosses fast doesn't make a character good.

Spicy. What makes a character good then? (in your view)

Single Player is by far better than DST, and DST has been declining ever since Wortox/Ocean Content was added into the game. It's lost it's charm and it's original feel, I don't like Edgy Rick and disagree with pretty much everything in his quitting DST video, but he did get one thing right. DST is catoring to minecraft kiddies, and it has been made way too easy. Permadeath was one of the main selling points of original Don't Starve. They removed permadeath with rollbacks, ghost form, and life giving amulets being so good. Don't Starve's biggest selling point is hunger. DST has way too much food in it if you play solo so that starving is never an issue, and food farms are easy to make. With friends it is still easy to not starve since you can make food farms faster in groups and there is still plenty of food. DST is so much more sandbox than Single Player, you can do basically anything you want without much risk cause you can just rollback or float around for 30 seconds till you find a touch stone/lga. It needs to reintroduce more difficulty and punishment.

I believe they actually work on updates 1 by 1, they don't have everything set in stone yet so it is very much up to change

You don't think they planned to add a celestial champion since Turn of Tides? Why would they add 3 moon altars with the same functionality then?

I don't mean the large boss updates, but like they hadn't been planning on adding waterlogged biome since turn of tides, or character reworks. they handle those separately

The same things that make characters good who don't kill bosses faster, like Wormwood and Wickerbottom: the amount of love put into the design and programming.

Characters with damage bonuses might earn the "good character" pass easier, true, but since this is an unpopular opinions thread, I would argue that Wigfrid is a 1000 times better character than Wolfgang even though Wolfgang is a much stronger one and a much more solid choice.

Other than that, Wendy is not a better character because she kills bosses faster, but rather because she has a very unique gameplay, not as much as Wormwood perhaps, but her utility makes up for that in almost every case. I would go as far as rating her the second best character just because of how much fun she provides while being able to have a unique gameplay.

Even Wes is a good character in my eyes, almost as good as Wanda who is the best character for me. Even if you disagree about Wes, you can't deny the fact that he provides the (almost exact) gameplay you expect from him, unlike some characters like Walter and Willow, who actually have excellent initial designs but mostly fail to satisfy the expectations during gameplay.

Yes. I understand that fully, that’s why I was curious about what your answer would be.

A good character is not simply one that is a good pick for a team, but one that offers a different approach in gameplay and also has design that’s easy to understand that, “Oh, care has been put into making this character.” Walter and Willow fail in the latter; Wes and Wanda exceed both criteria.

That makes sense.

[Mysterious box]

I dislike when a opinion on a topic or discussion is used to judge a person's character or experience I feel it has no place in discussions.

On a lesser note I also dislike perk overlap.

They have a roadmap that literally states that this entire year of updates are "setting the stage" updates for what they have planned for 2023.

To your earlier point of DST becoming too easy. You can play solo survival world without touching the world settings and ignore the portal. U can pick and choose what perks or newer resources you want to dismiss and play the game exactly as we always have. The settings and options are there for newer players so they dont get their arse handed to them in hopes that they stick around uping the difficulty as they learn. Play however you want

[Horsheen]

Too many people are focused on how viable things are for a game that really lacks a high amount of difficulty (with experience, obviously)

 

More peeps reeeeeeally need to slow down and just...stop caring as much

I dunno, I just play the game and try to have fun, then occasionally post mindless drivel on this forum that gets nowhere.
Some folks call me good at the game for some reason, I honestly don't know why when I just end up being a clown while I play DST.
I still have fun being a clown, but I'm still a clown.

[Astraia]

I honestly don't like it when someone makes a useless thread about one character being better than the other. So what? What facts are you trying to prove? That I can't play Webber? sigh...let me just, play the game how i want, please

(I still read those threads but most of the time I ignore replying because i simply DO NOT care enough to take part in a silly argument that takes days to finish but is still pointless to argue about in the end, the only reason for arguing in the webber and wurt thread was because I just wanted to be part of the argument, but they aren't close to being the same type of character so i regret arguing because it doesn't matter)

Honestly, idk why I'm on the forums, because i dislike forumites (most of them at least), no offense, but ig I'm probably here to post my art only, because forumites in the off-topic zone seem less chaotic and less strong about silly opinions (hides in off-topic forum)

Burning a living log should give Wortox a soul

According to this, Wormwood gets an additional soul every time he uses a healing salve 

[Evelo]

I love Wormwood. He, (Warly and Wanda) is the only characters that has a MAJOR downside (not healing through food) that fundamentally changes your strategy to survival compared to Wilson.. Something I think every character needs.
Maybe I just like healing via Salves and Poultice and think food shouldn't heal.

This isn’t exactly true- Klei released an update it’s a bit more punishing then they intended.. forum users flood them with complaints, they Nerf the crap out of the update- 

this didn’t just happen recently with Moon Quay pirates and the Wonkey Curse, it ALSO Happened With Troubled Waters, Boat Damage Mechanics and Wavey Jones 

And the thing that really pisses me off the most is that instead of using their world Gen  & world settings features to offer the OPTION for players to play the game their way by picking rather they prefer the harsher original release of the content or the complained about highly Nerfed version- Klei instead goes one route and one route only… Aka.. heavy catering to casuals.

What happened to “Your world, Your Rules?” What if SOME of us never asked for disease to be removed as a game mechanic? What if SOME of us never asked for resources to renew themselves  so that proper care and caution is taken to ensure resources and mobs don’t go extinct? What if some of us actually enjoyed the Lunar Horror mobs that were so abruptly cancelled due to backlash?

The problem Klei is largely running into now is that they take in a little “too much” fan feedback- I try to remain reasonable & find a higher understanding.. But When DS, DS Shipwrecked, and DS Hamlet were added to Xbox all of the “feedback & Work in Progress” process was already over so for example: if people did not like Flu Season or the Aporkalypse or Pangolden sucking up pond water & pooping gold- it was too late to change those things because they’re already part of the product that shipped.

With DST- it works more like a Subject to Change live service game, where features get changed or removed whenever they feel the desire to change it.

Had “Lunar Horror” mobs been a paid themed DLC expansion pack like Shipwrecked or Hamlet- it’s highly unlikely they wouldve been abruptly discontinued. & that part irks me a bit.

I think what people want (or at least what I want..) is another massive dlc the same size and scope of Shipwrecked or Hamlet that takes us to a brand new “world” with new weather hazards, mobs & resources.

Not just a tiny little island out on the empty ocean.. but like entire worlds with new hazards, weather etc..

Imagine if the whole game world could’ve been like Lunar Island for example.

I bought Shipwrecked and Hamlet to get a different type of experience with a game I had grown far too familiar withs weather, biomes and hazards.. yes monthly updates to DST are nice.. but none of its been on the same size and scope as SW or Ham.
