Klei are actually doing it

DST Road map 2023, I remember that day as it was yesterday... I remember saying "Thats a good one, Joe" after reading that Klei are planning to make game more harder and actually do a story line progression in-game.

Here we are in a future, Wilson have 2 routes to choose (Wagstaff Dont starve or Charlie) and some portal appears after defeating Celestial Champion, slowly spreading and corrupting land of The Constant. 

So far I like the idea of this update, though new items really need some adjustments to make them usable, as for now they are just replacers of already existing items. 

P.s Wagstaff Dont starve affinity all the way, all my homies pick this perk over shadow

This update seems cool but I feel like a lot of it is (so far) shallow but this is just the beginning so hopefully they can buff the items and add to the rifts in later updates. The forum post about the beta refers to the 2 creatures that pop out “the first creatures” so I hope they add more in the soon future because the rifts seem pretty barebones so far. Overall to me a step in the right direction but half baked.

I'm glad DST is going the new route, but maybe I'm too harsh, and the bad updates of the past few years don't give me much confidence in future updates.

Yea imagine that the terraforming rift is just one of many varieties that could be added, with the current and only ones being there mostly to change the environment of the constant overworld to be more moon-like there could be 'army' ones that only exist to kill the players in the area.

There's a lot that they can do with this and I really hope they do.

Based on their phrasing in the beta notes, it's not the last type of rifts planned. I would prefer if they released at least 2 types at once, but they probably don't want a content drought.

Yeah I hope that's the case, that that's the reason they worded it like this.
