[Poll] On Walter, Wendy and Wortox's Current Skilltrees, Premortem [v2]

This poll made for the current patch, check it out here:

It's pretty damning if most people end up voting "I have no feelings about it" on Walter's skill tree. Worse than voting very unsatisfied, I think.

Wendy currently looks potentially brutally overpowered AND unsatisfying to Wendy players at the same time on the forums right now, haha. I see a lot of good ideas proposed to help with this and hope the devs see them.

I'm mostly satisfied with Wortox, except some remaining issues. My personal wish of soul hops on beefalo (I just really like Rider beefalo), maybe some tweak to shadow alignment and how Soul Decoy works with echoes. I also still hold out hope for a bug net feature for the knabsack.

The big issue I have left for Wortox is that Neutral perks seem completely skippable, still. I'm not sure if anyone is even bothering to test them much.

I made a thread here for my thoughts:

Yes, I don't want Wendy to be overpowered. I want something cool and fancy, and theme-wise or lore-wise satisfactory, the later point is much more important.

I think lunar Abigail is developers' effort at solving Wendy's boss fighting problem (It may be overpowered, but it can easily be tuned down), and I really appreciate their endeavor. However, forgive me, I don't like it. As I stated earlier in a post, I simply don't like the idea of mutating Abigail. I want Abigail to be something more familiar to Wendy, not less.

I wish the skill tree could express more about Wendy and Abigail's bond, preferably progressively so. I don't want Abigail to become a simple killing machine, and with the same reason, I also don't like Wendy to have other ghost followers other than Abigail.

(I want to talk about this for a long time, but I'm not very good at composing my thoughts and writing them down, sigh, it also seems to like I'm demanding too much.)

unfortunately there are a lot of people who cannot imagine themselves being happy with anything other than the "best" and the "best" is often the most dangerous+violent character in whatever game they are playing

I just re-edited my post and wrote roughly the same thing, and I agree with you.

But it still feels wrong, and I believe I should write it down.

Walter's skilltree could use some adjustments, current Woby is still unable to compete with a beefalo.

Wendy's would need more adjustments, currently she got nothing but bigger numbers.

Wortox's is hard to dislike.

ah, i see now. i assure you that your feeling is justified. i avoid participating in a lot of communities anymore because this whole conversation happens everywhere that you can choose different characters to play with others. people will throw a character into the rubbish bin and spit on them if they felt someone else got something as good as them or worse, better than them and then will lie to everyone about how bad the character is because they are frustrated that things changed in a way that did not elevated =them= to now be the player with the most efficiently violent character

 

i do not play fighter/brawler games anymore x___x
