JoeW Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Hey Everybody, it's time for another playtest! We've got a bunch of new stuff for you to check out! This test is less directly focused on a specific area of the game, so please feel free to let us know anything that's on your mind. Please remember that this is an early playtest. We are currently light on content and many aspects of the game like character customization and progression are still in very early stages. We'll do our best to keep things interesting and fun during the test, but we're expecting a lot more content and balance to come in the future before we move to early access. What's new? The highlights include a new Dungeon (Now called Hunts), a new room type to discover while out Hunting, a revitalized equipment system, a weapon returns to multiplayer and some updates to character progression and customization. Spoiler A new Hunt! Nocturne Grove has been added! Market Room You can now run into market rooms while out on Hunts! Alphonse & Nimble, two new NPCs, are hanging out in the market. Weapon Changes Striker Striker is back, and supported in networked multiplayer games! Cannon Reloading is now executed by pressing Dodge -> Dodge, instead of Dodge -> Light Attack. There are two new types of attacks after pressing Dodge. Try Dodge -> Light Attack or Dodge -> Skill. Equipment Changes Added new armour type: Legs. There are now three armour slots instead of two, allowing you to further customize your build. Reworked many existing armour sets, and added new sets. Boss equipment is not in this playtest Equipment now has weight, and can push your build into either Light, Medium, or Heavy, each with their own unique dodge + unique characteristics Heartstone Changes Heartstones now provide your player with powerful bonuses that persist from Hunt to Hunt. NPC Changes Hamish Hamish is not in this playtest Berna Berna will not be crafting armour in this playtest, but will be around to perform upgrades. Glorabelle Glorabelle is not in this playtest Toot Now shows up in the village Miniboss Encounter changes Miniboss fights have been redesigned to present players with challenges unique to the mechanics presented by the miniboss. Frenzy Changes Frenzy levels 1 - 3 are in this playtest. The previous Frenzy Levels have been compressed into these three to provide spikier, more interesting challenges. Player Customization Changes There are new ways to customize your character Glitz You will earn Glitz by doing Hunts, allowing you to unlock new customizations Armour Dyes added! Every piece of armour can be dyed one of four different colours Emotes Added emotes! How long is the test? We are aiming for one week. However we may run longer if we see value in running it longer. The longer we run the test the longer we're focused on feedback so we want to get things resolved pretty quickly. Who can play? Everybody in the last playtest will be able to play immediately and we will be letting in new signups as we progress through the week. Can I stream or make videos? Go ahead. But please note that this is very much a test and we do expect issues. We're testing our networking code here, there will be issues. How do I find people to play with? You can look for people that want to play in the official discord here: https://klei.gg/discord And you can also use the Looking for Group Steam forum here. https://steamcommunity.com/app/2451740/discussions/1/ How do I report bugs or submit feedback? F8 is the very best way. But you can also report bugs over here. And you can participate on our forums here. You can also report stuff on the steam forums, we gather feedback from everywhere, but our focus will be on F8 reports.

BezKa Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Finally got to play with my friends!!! They love it We really liked the character customization, with the glitz as a reward even when we failed to defeat the boss. The Hot Topic store is interesting, sharing money by contributing it is a good addition, and the dyes I am looking at expectantly, I see a bunch of potential here. But, if personalizing your armor is being considered, it might be worth thinking about "use appearance but not function"? So we can wear whatever we want for aesthetic, but keep whatever armor buffs we want. Something that becomes a problem when playing with more than one person, is characters are, in the end, very similar. It's super easy to get confused which one is you- perhaps an indicator for online play that you can turn on in the settings for yourself might be helpful. We're all loving the art style and animations, it's just really pleasant to look at while you play, and enemy designs are really cool. Some of the custom titles aren't formatted correctly and clip out of the screen (Creepy Cryptid being one of them). My friend immediately purchased the "Impostor" title. I really hope NPC's will refer to you by your title in the future! Will writing one for yourself be possible? More feedback on the way! We're really struggling with Owlitzer O.O Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/153031-rotwood-playtest-3-now-available/#findComment-1688311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dana0zhan Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 The armmor weight setting is very interesting,pls keep it up. I tried all 4 weapons ,the hammer was good,the cannon was strong and fun,and theball. But the spear experience is really poor,the front swing of the combo is too long,which makes it difficult to strike the combo,and the precision attack can't be hit many times. Highest difficulty with the cannon and the ball,in one pass..Spear?Even the first three waves of the spear were tough.

But high level of difficulty, you can't handle a monster with a bully.Monsters have too much desire to attack,this will interrupt your combo. Boss is easy,just 29600 health,but what about monsters?They are really hard to deal with.
