[POLL] What Will Be Next Update

[Karitha]

Beside we are gonna have a QoL, DST is gonna have something different too.

[Cassielu]

Well that, they say that about almost every update, so... I guess we're just going to get a regular QoL and contant update.

[hhh2]

My bets (in order of likelihood):

1. Gorge Forge rerun and rererun

2. The next part to whatever moon que was leading to

3. Maxwell rework

4. Animated series pilot

5. True cross-play

I never though of that, it's a possible thing because they never mentioned the thing is related to game update directly. The QoL that is going to happen is another weird thing because we didn't get two updates ever. And when you think about how game series became popular it's a possible thing. Terraria also started to make non-game related thing (comic).

I'm adding this to poll, Thank you!

i think that "little different thing" could simply be something like changes to the client, how servers work, polishing code or any other non gameplay related thing

I hope so! I think DST is wacky about how server works. We still getting server lags, connection problems and so much person deny to play in servers because of it. Math of game could be improved with small tweaks. I mentioned few things that could work in that post.

Where's option for "you're getting over hyped despite literally getting told not to"

It's only human. JoeW certainly knew this would happen.

My hype is for the term used "different".

Something different is a brave thing to say. You could not and should not say something like that If you are not gonna do something different and if you want to your community trust you.

Saying "I told you don't be hyped" after sharing something we see everytime is not a way to escape.

[Falkenpelz]

It will absolutely, definitely, truly be the announcement of a DST animated series.

 

Please. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself...

[ArubaroBeefalo]

now i realize that we are talking all the time about that "little different thing" when he said that they also have a "little something else"

[Cr4zyFl4mes]

Some new puzzle-like event would be nice. I wasn't playing during Metheus and i'd like to be a part of such an event. I don't see it as likely, but it could be possible i guess.

JoeW has been teasing me for over a year about a substantial QoL update that’s allegedly going to alter how we play the game a bit, now I have no idea what that could potentially mean: but I’m hoping it includes new world Gen options, DST may be a great game but it’s aging rapidly, biomes are always the same, what can be found in those biomes are always the same resources and mobs it very much feels like a 2015 game design that has yet to be upgraded to a current 2022 upgrade. 
Year of the Catcoon updated the game so that when the biome becomes extinct of Catcoon dens after so long new ones will spawn in the Biome. This doesn’t just allow people to play some silly limited time event- it also keeps the biome from (overtime) becoming bare wastelands of no content when Deerclops or Bearger or any other disaster happens.

I would like to see Bees updated to share the same mechanics that Spiders do (a single spider can create a nest and repopulate overtime) if all hives are destroyed.. a single Bee should be able to build a new nest. I would also like the Swamp marsh biome to have Swamp Tentacles Respawn randomly in the swamp biomes after they have been destroyed.

And finally.. Hamlet and Shipwrecked added advanced features to the game that DST still doesn’t have, such as % chance for random mob encounter while plucking/harvesting/mining etc, there was even a Biome in Shipwrecked that seemed to randomly have “Flurps” spawn when your exploring this type of biome turf.

These are the kind of things I would expect to see done in a QoL update: such as giving swamp tentacles the same spawning mechanics Florp seemed to have in Shipwrecked.

Come to think of it my favorite dst updates have been the QoLs that give us more control over the game and how we play it.

Let us not forget that we’ve also gotten cool boss reworks in past QoLs.. so yeah to me these are my favorite types of updates.

As for the other “new” thing I’m going to guess it’s another crossover with another franchise that fits the hallowed nights theme, I have no idea what franchise would fit this role but last time we got cool terraria skins that also were appropriately spooky for Halloween (such as the science lab alchemy engine and the spectral brush clean sweep) with hallowed nights right around the corner and the new beta starting in October.. this is my best guess.

That has never been a thing. You might be thinking of a spider queen turning into a spider nest.

Fun fact: flups have spawners, but they can't spawn because of their spawn checks contradicting each other (must be on marsh turf (on land) AND must be on water). (source)

Don't get too excited. Better to have your expectations low then have them blown out of the water than it is to have high expectations and feel under delivered.

The part that says it's something "the team wanted to put together for everybody" makes me think it's something like Starver's Carol video. Even if animations are not something new, this could be different in a way that it's an aniamtion unrelated to an event or content update or could be something unrelated to the game and about DST staff for us.

Edit: Nevermind, read the paragraph again and the different thing is both an update and a QOL.

Why would there be a BETA for this something new???

Yeah, my bad, I just read the paragraph again and understood that we will receive two things: a different update and a QOL.

[Owlrust]

Well he said they didn't want to risk whatever they were going to announce being "Overblown by the community", so it's possible that what they have in store might be something that could possibly be seen as controversial.

That, or they just wanted to avoid any community theories that could pop up from any hints they could give in order to keep the upcoming content a surprise. This sounds more likely because of the next point.

"It's something a little different the team wanted to put together for everybody" also implies that it's more of a surprise gift from the team at Klei to the community with this update in a way that wasn't really explored before. If the upcoming update is special enough to warrant specifically NOT sharing a hint, then it must be something big. I'm extremely interested in what it could be!

They’re going to introduce a f2p MOBA spinoff

I hope we'll be able to toggle this if it becomes a thing, because I'm proud of my tentacle-less swamp. Probably the only reason I switch to Walter.

They are going to add a solid gold statue of me to commemorate how I have never ever once broken a forum rule or ever gotten a warning ever.

P.S. When the statue of me gets added please do not mine it.

[Mr Giggio]

The more you guys make posts like this, the more you guys proves his point about bein afraid to be overblown.
