So, who is planning on being in "Team Survivors" when the update finishes?


Recommended Posts

People are talking about "Team Lunar" and "Team Shadow," but what I'd like is for a third option; to give the middle finger to BOTH of those factions and say "We've been doing fine on our own for countless years, no thanks to you. Come at me, chumps."

It would be kinda interesting if such a choice would come with some minor benefits to "mundane" items just to give it a small perk which is meant to seem underwhelming. But even if that didn't happen, I feel that could be a fun "challenge mode" option that would actually make a lot of sense within the lore of the story.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think I'd have more fun and enjoyment sticking to my guns and not being bribed to one of the evil sides with shiny trinkets.

What do you think? Who is considering joining "Team Survivors,"?

I guess most of this won’t effect me, I usually just play a few hours in pubs, I’m not interested in bosses, I will support other players doing bosses, but with most other pub players also not interested in this long quest line, which I consider to be a string of the least enjoyable content in the game, I guess I’m not joining a side either.

At the end of the day it's gonna be "team survivor" though. Survivors aren't really doing it for knowledge and power, just looking for a way out of the constant. With a few exceptions I guess, for Winona, Wilson, Willow, Wortox, Wormwood and Wurt or Maxwell. My guess is "siding" is just a thing of lore and minor synergies.

It's probably up to you if you want to choose a side, just how you can choose to use a hambat, a dark sword, or a glass cutter.

For me it’s going to depend entirely on what’s actually going on within the games story.. and who’s side of the story tugs at my heart strings the most.

For right now I’m siding with Team Charlie- Why?? Because Charlie is Winona’s Little Sister, She was portrayed as sweet and innocent, and even the Main Menu start up for DST shows poor Charlie Wigging out between wanting to Hurt or Help poor Wilson, It seems like she doesn’t have full “control” over here own body, further backed by Winona’s Short where she looks at her sister sad & confused before wigging out and yanking her in the portal with her. 

Wagstaff on the other hand.. has either Directly or Indirectly been the cause of well.. everything. Dude is seen doing all sorts of borderline evil shady stuff and it seems like he’s trying to help.. but his help backfires constantly. One thing I know for certain is that the LUNAR side of things is particularly Nasty.. Mutated Body Horror Zombified Penguins/Hounds/Crows, Spiders infused with shattered glass.. Wagstaff is fascinated with things like trying to end the world sooner.. I mean if I’ve got to pick a side, I’m going with team Charlie and I hope the story allows me to free her from the clutches of whatever’s possessing her.

As far as the Third Non-Existent Neither Option- This won’t pull at my heart strings, And whatever story there is to be seen between Team Charlie/Wagstaff would largely go untold as you attempt to do your own thing. I don’t really see this option being beneficial to the games lore, or the mystery behind whatever the heck Charlie/Wagstaff are up to.

However when it comes very specifically to actual In Game Content- I LOVE the Concept of Timeline Rifts.. and I would Prefer it if more of this was added to the game, Yes we know there will be a Lunar & Shadow version of these rifts, but “Technically” the entire island of Moon Quay came out of these type of rifts too… I’d love to see Moon Quay rifts added into the Equation, alongside any other type of future rifts Klei feels like adding.. we could even get Gorge/Forge themed rifts.

I just love the idea that much like Wanda breaking the time line for well uhh everything.. the whole Constant and every alternate reality that exists within it, is now going Bonkers.

I'm choosing whichever side brings with it more power. And if that means rejecting both sides and tearing them down myself? Count me in.

I don't see how any of the options, including the potential third one, would be detrimental to the game's lore, either. The way I see it, the story is going to happen either way; we just decide our personal role in it.

It is going to be a really tough choice. Alter changes plants into living beings and severly transforms animals(quite painfully), while Shadows seek out destroying life. Alter seems like an infection, that wants to change the world to its liking, while shadows don´t want the world to exist at all. Don´t forget they tricked the King to destroy his entire civilization, we got pretty lucky the Ancient Gateway broke. 
Still, imma propably side with the shadows

I'm already doing that with Wilson by abusing the Celestial portal.

The plan is to keep fleecing both sides as much as possible lol.

I mean, it's not gonna be a Splatfest thing where the side that gets more votes affects the vague plot later! I'll just choose whichever side gives my characters/playstyle more fun, of course. Even better if my friend chooses the other side, so we can share and have access to both!

Lunar. Wormwood finds the Nightball to be home. (Given the text for his Moonbound skin). Just want Wormwood to be happy.

Or he might take a lesson from Webber, who learned that returning where they came from might not necessarily be the key to happiness and family after all. Say what you will about the Survivors, they've been shown to have each others' backs in spite of their differences. (With the POSSIBLE exception of Maxwell, but that is still yet to be determined.)

too bad skins for both sides are already made and sold separate.

It would have been kinda cool if your appearance changed depending on which side you choose. I mean sure you can manually change your skin to the triumphant or lunar versions on your own but its not really the same.

On the other hand, having a Lunar skin for the Shadow side or vice-versa presents an entertaining bit of incongruity.

i was thinking the visual would just overlap onto the default skin of the character and then like normal equipped skins would overwrite everything.

But yeah, you could totally act out being a double agent by equipping the opposite skin of your alignment
