Mike23Ua Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 I made an entire thread that clearly showcased how dst is chalk full of content already, however that content is going extremely under-utilized as it is, so to add even more new content that goes under utilized in the same way would only be disappointing. I will use Moon Quay as an example, in Concept this should have been an AWESOME DLC, it added Sandy beaches, palm trees, cute and weird looking moon glass sandcrab things, Pirate Monkeys that steal your loot and then proceed to bury it somewhere, and even a pirates curse so you become a secret hidden playable character. But where Moon Quay fails is in its size & scope and presentation, Imagine if Moon Quay island could be as large as one of the highly empty swamps or forests of the main island, or at the very least- Lunar Island Sized. This would’ve given the player a large biome to explore (and thus properly dodge and kite the swarms of pirate monkeys) it also would’ve given the game a massive island location to stash the buried treasures on. Etc.. So in conclusion as long as new content continues to feel very small & insignificant, I’d rather have QoL updates to what’s ALREADY going under-utilized within the game then to get more stuff that equally goes under-utilized.

00petar00 Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 How many of these threads do we need? Anyway, I want to bring up skill trees even though I chose caves because it kind of sucks that some characters have them and others that don't may take another 2 or 3 years to get.

benfroyobro9381 Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 While these all aren't equal priorities I think they're all worth a notice: - Boss reworks. Klei has proven they could rework bosses and make them a lot more fun and engaging with Ancient Guardian. I think this tune up is really needed for Crab King, Toad Stool, and Malbatross, who have terrible loot(besides progression needed to fight another boss) and almost universally despised mechanics or features. Also some minor tweaks to loot or attacks would be nice for bosses like Antlion, specifically the lazy deserter. Boss scaling would be nice since bosses barely feel like fights with a lot of players and a slog with just one. - Console quol and tweaks. Specifically to features that are severely hindered on consoles like lazy explorer, Wortox, weather pain, etc. Also a geometric placement or some feature to create symmetry would be nice and I can't believe it hasn't been added after this many years. - QOL. I think some neglected features and items need to be looked at like: Pets. They're basically food dumpsters and if that's all they need to be then ok. However, they have a lot of untapped potential and I wouldn't mind something as simple as a small passive buff or perk. Grass suit and other underused combat gear. I unironically think Klei should consider removing the grass suit. I've never seen anyone use it unless they find it before getting a backpack. Blow darts and ranged combats could be more interesting though the mechanics of the game as a whole might need to be reevaluated. Nonetheless any attention to ranged combat would be nice. Crockpot dishes. Small thing but icecream and other cool drinks/food should last longer in a icebox besides the usual multiplier. I think some buffs to underused or inefficient dishes, ones that often give less hunger/health/sanity than its ingredients, would be nice. Figgy foods, certain farm, unagi, etc would be nice. There's a lot of other important stuff but that's what comes to mind at the moment.

Your looking at it from a “it’ll cost too much development time & resources” point of view. Im looking at it from the point of view that we have a wacky cast of 20+ playable characters in this crazy world where they can add any type of game mode or tell any story they want within this franchise. my favorite mobile iPhone/smart phone game is Soul Knight, it is a RogueLite dungeon corridor shooter but it offers several types of different game modes, such as standard RogueLite mode, a much more casual & forgiving arcade mode, a Player vs Player battle arena (something DST should’ve done a long time ago..) A plants vs zombie sort of placing and defending mode, and a tower defense mode where you have to defend the health of a certain object from hordes of mobs. DST has this in tiny little segments (such as creating moon caller staff) But Klei should be offering entire game modes and unique ways to play the game that are different from the same old tiring formula we’ve been playing since 2013.. Rather they decide to sell Dont Starve Franchise spin off games, or add new paid DLC modes to DST I can really careless, but the moment Klei says hey we’re making a dungeon crawling RogueLite set in the Dont Starve franchise universe, I’ll be one of the very first people in line to buy it.

Those modes are like playing their own different games inside of Fortnite.. and that’s something Klei needs to look into and think “maybe we can do gorge and forge again but hire a specific team dedicated exclusively to doing that while we continue focusing on something else.” Because I can almost assure you that the people doing updates to Lego Fortnite for friendship and farmers mode, aren’t the same people designing the map layout for the upcoming battle royale battle pass.

In a sense it would be and it would eat up a lot of time. They would need to adapt 2 whole new worlds to work within modern dst likely introducing a massive amount of bugs that will need fixed in the process. Then needing to come up with ways to adapt the mechanics in a way that makes sense across each new ability and mechanic. While finally dealing with people who will inevitably complain for them to host public servers for these dlcs. The amount of work involved and the headaches it would introduce would be a loss for just about everyone except those not interested in the game's current direction. Not saying they could never come but it would probably be better to do when they have nothing planned for awhile.

They would need to adapt 2 whole new worlds to work within modern dst likely introducing a massive amount of bugs that will need fixed in the process. Then needing to come up with ways to adapt the mechanics in a way that makes sense across each new ability and mechanic. While finally dealing with people who will inevitably complain for them to host public servers for these dlcs. The amount of work involved and the headaches it would introduce would be a loss for just about everyone except those not interested in the game's current direction. Not saying they could never come but it would probably be better to do when they have nothing planned for awhile. Like I said previously, Klei needs to hire more developers and assign a particular group to one project while another group works on a different project. I know people hate me using Fortnite as an example, but I can almost safely assure you that the team of developers who created the newest Lego Fortnite update, aren’t the same team working on content for the standard battle Royale mode. To simplify it: They have different people assigned to different projects. Similar to how Klei has a team of devs for Oni, a team for DST, and a team for newly released RotWood. IF Klei was to add new ways to play DST (think of any silly thing you want to insert here such as idk Creative Mode or PvP combat Arena) then these would be their own different type of game modes with their own rules that separate themselves from the main mode. When I clash with megabasers on these forums it’s because for them- Every problem has to have a solution, they have to have permanent structures to essentially be able to “turn off” the games hazards and features without just turning off those features, which wouldn’t be so big of a problem- IF there were different game modes to cater to each playstyle. Maybe for example: I want to play in a world where I need to be cautious and take extra care not to let the worlds resources & mobs go extinct. Its like playing a shooter game where in normal mode you have a ridiculous amount of or even infinite ammo, but on a harder difficulty setting, perhaps you spawn with guns that are ridiculously low on Ammo and finding ammo is much more sparse making every bullet have to count. DST only has a one size fits all philosophy & I strongly feel that …. (Yes I’m about to say it ) ”In a game full of options, we really do need a ton more options.” Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/155838-what-should-klei-focus-the-next-few-updates-on/#findComment-1711968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people have to get paid, and the game is not likely bringing in enough money to justify that, nor is it wise to try to sell big new DLCs or whatever for this niche decade-old game. The reason people have a problem with you bringing up Fortnite or whatever else is because you don't seem to grasp the myriad ways in which those features you're bringing up simply do not scale down reasonably for an indie dev maintaining a game on which most people who will spend their money already have. 8 minutes ago, Mike23Ua said: When I clash with megabasers on these forums it’s because for them- Every problem has to have a solution This is hardly exclusive to megabasers. No sane person wants problems that have no solutions to be standard features of the game.
