Rhymes with Play Dev Cast this Thursday (Don't Starve Together - New Update Beta!)

 don't understand English well, but I see in the name "Dupli" which means duplicate and "city" which means city. That is , in terms of meaning , it is in the depths of the " duplicate city " . It's just that the translator gives out the meaning "in the depths of two-face ", which is true?

the meaning is "two-faced", "traitorous", or, the archaic meaning is "duplicate", which is no longer used

The 2nd definition is more accurate - Duplicity means Deception, or a trick. 

However, the titles sometimes have wordplay- "Host" in "Host of Horrors" can refer to a collective, like a group,  but also refers to a Host, the physical body used in a posession. Both definitions of the term work in context.

Duplicity is a pretty uncommon term, so it's probably used for a reason, and a play on "city" for a new ruins area isn't actually a bad theory of what the update could feature.

So excited, so hyped, let's goooo

[Mike23Ua]

Duplicity is probably a hint at who’s getting the skill tree, Aka- The character that can duplicate themselves multiple times.

Maxwell ?

 With Wendy (animated short) (maybe)

Duplicity also refers “ Duplicate” and to “Twins” so It’s likely a Maxwell & a Wendy skill tree Update.

But.. It’ll be the only update we get from now till Christmas time so It’ll be the Month of Spooky content update.

And I for one, will be very disappointed if there isn’t any new Halloween themed belongings/character skins.

If Klei Really wants to make me happy they could add the mutated Catmando beast thing as a skin for Beefalo, and I can change it to this skin either through the Dress Up Tab, or smacking it with a Clean Sweeper.

I think I’ve been begging for this skin for years, haha.

I don't think this one is gonna have skill trees.

[Echsrick]

thinkin about it, its probably another step of the rift nonsense wich will probably still not have an actual end to it, so its destructive powers will still have no normal way to be removed, simply given that the shadow side of rifts have less items then the moon one

[Dragonboooorn]

MAXWELL SKILL TREE CONFIRMED???

[Kwaik]

Are we confident there will even be a skilltree? 

Last patch had 2, and I feel like this patch is happening fairly quickly in succession to the last. 

I guess I don't see any reason to expect a skill tree unless I missed something. 

Especially if this is expected to progress the caves/shadow rifts which is an area that needs a lot of loving, in which case I'd imagine there won't be any room for skill trees

I don't think this is a skilltree patch 

BUT if I was to make a guess I think Maxwell is too obvious and his skilltree this soon would break the game (ie he's too OP that giving him a skilltree this early in the process when many characters don't have skilltrees would be bad for the games balance) 

The best guess would be Wanda. She's also shadow themed,  her lore is built around her being dishonest/secretive, and slightly more of a stretch is she has all these backtracking and teleportation abilities

I hope its content that we can access and utilize pre-rifts.

[Anis5240]

Dear Klei, please, please, PLEASE give us a better version of the bug net in this update. Void bug net would be very cool if it can catch things in an AOE.

Would there even be a practical way to use this? It seems like it would only be effective against things that group up, which really means just bees. 

 

If you wanted some more universal appeal (ie butterflies and mosquitoes) I'd think you'd want a land version of the ocean trawler. Aka a bug box or something that would attract bees, mosquitoes, and butterflies 

 

Or if the goal was to make it a Wurt QoL item, to just add it to his skill tree making it more streamlined for Wurt to get mosquitos 

[Mike23Ua]

Do people not read patch notes or something? Wurt can catch things with her Barehands now, no bug net required! <3 But for non-Wurt players maybe it will be useful?

Wait what?! Wurt can crab butterflies with her hands?

[WenericMember]

It's hard to say definitively whether or not there'll be skill trees this update.

The description of the larger updates per the roadmap was:

"we will be releasing 4 major updates; each containing a mix of QOL, content and additional character updates"

Scrappy scavengers and Staying afloat matched this pretty much perfectly, but its difficult to say if the pattern will continue.

We might get a bonus skill tree thrown in for someone who doesn't really need one like wicker or maxwell? Or we could get the normal two. Or we could get none, who knows.

If we do get some, I think it'll be Wendy & Webber pairing if they do 2, and Maxwell if they do a standalone one.

Next update should have Walter and Warly regardless imo.

Assuming this is the shadow counterpart update to host of horrors, it'll probably be rift content.

[Waoling]

Finally the Bunnymen will get the attention that they need.

[arubaro]

"The team is currently working on a bunch of Cave content for you. We can't quite call this one a QOL - this is shadow related content that will introduce a bunch of new threats and rewards to the caves."

I mean clearly not, you didn't.

Relevance? Wurt with the right skills can only catch mosquitos with her bare hands. She could still have use for a better bug net.
