ShadyTooOP Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 The thing with the Skill Tree is that it increases stats for Abigail, like health (Through Blessed Sisturn III), more mourning glory, more damage, etc. I would love to see new mechanics to Abigail. For example, Willow was seen with many new mechanics that turned her form a former "Fire Starter" to a contemporary "Fire Mage," which completely added new abilities to her arsenal and survivability. I would love to see new mechanics for Wendy, rather than just increasing numbers and calling it a day. For example, something new and different can happen if you adorn graves with evil flowers. Also maybe adding a skill that adds a twist for the Pipspook minigame, since it is repetitive, maybe there could be different objectives for different shaped Pipspooks. For example, we would have the normal Pipsook minigame, but some other Pipspooks would have other wishes than finding lost Toys, such as reuniting with a friend, or something (This may or may not give more mourning glory depending on the difficulty and time relative the normal minigame). Also it would be nice to have unique crafts with evil flowers, since for example prior to the current beta, the other betas had the Vest that used 20 dark petals if I am not mistaken. I understand why it was removed, although it could have been reworked rather than removed, but it made dark petals useful, so I think crafts using dark petals should be a thing. Maybe there could be something that adds a bigger light source to Abi, or something. I would also like to see different abilities in Abi that are unique (rather than running away, escaping, or being redirected, I know they are useful, they are just... not new). For example maybe Abi can have an ability where she spins in a circle with some radius and any monster in the circle will take damage over time and will be vexed during that duration, whether or not Abi is hitting that monster or not. Maybe she could station herself in a certain area and somehow create a bubble or aura where Wendy and her friends are not seen by enemies. Maybe Abigail can infuse into Wendy and give her unique characteristics. Maybe she can leave behind an aura where she slows down non boss enemies and makes them do less damage to players. Maybe Abigail can somehow (while maintaining the ghost aspect of her) produce heat or coldness. She may also act as a 1 slot food container that preserves food through her "Ghastly body" or something. These are all just suggestions, I am not saying they SHOULD be implemented. There are endless possibilities for new unique mechanics. Wendy, as the most popular DST character (not claiming that she is popular in use but just fame, as evidenced by the most popular vid on Klei's channel is Wendy's Animation), needs uniqueness in some way and not just number stats. Sure, the mourning glory crown is new and unique, and I am up for it. The Gestalt Abi and "Murder" action from Shadow Abi is really different and cool. However, the addition of new mechanics seems minimal when considering the full tree. I am not advocating for an Ultra-OP Wendy, but just one that is unique.

Lee lol Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 I think the design concept of the new mechanism gestalt in the skill tree is very good. Aoe-monomer boss, but her survivability and combat ability have been lowered inaproperly. I agree that we need a more interesting pikspook mechanism, and mourning glory wreath needs to be reworked.
