Walter's skilltree: feedback post-release

[Horsheen]

I've been LOVING the Walter skilltree, such a huge revamp to my already favourite character. After playing around with different skill and such, I had a couple of suggestions and just general feedback about things I'd love to see changed!

 

Firstly, Roaming Retriever having a toggle to have Woby only gather items that are already in her inventory would be amazing! It's a bit frustrating to have her inventory be filled up with seeds and manure when really you just wanted her help in gathering some firewood.

 

Secondly, being able to change the Dashing Doggie keybind would be great. Double tapping is really inconvenient, and as someone that has a disability that can cause involuntary movement, accidentally double tapping a movement key happens often and is always frustrating. Being able to rebind this would be an amazing quality of life change.

 

Lastly, Woby here, Woby there is such a cute and fun skill and is easily my favourite from the whole tree. However, it's so conditional that it sees very little use from me even in worlds with a lot of players.

Having both yourself and the recipient need to hold a compass at once or set up ocuvigils around the map for delivering stations is plain tedious. I would prefer to be able to pick any spot on the map and send Woby to it, regardless of if I can see the person on the map or not. This would allow me to send Woby to somewhere that I know my deliveree will be (for example if my Willow tells me she's on Lunar Island I can simply send Woby there and let Willow know that she's waiting on the island). This skill requires a LOT of communication and takes up an inventory slot of anyone that wishes to make use of it and that can be a little frustrating.

Thanks for reading, please leave your own feedback for the devs to see :>

I don't like how multiple walters can't share the new ammo and stuff unless they have the skill themselves

Also, I think Walter should have had a short range slingshot upgrade or round, something that gave higher damage the closer Walter is to the target. Another round type I would really have liked is some kind of healing round, to real allies from a far, could be made out of spider glands and butteflies, it could give just 5 hp but a healing of 1hp per second for 10 seconds for example. I also Miss Woby ambulance, Walter used to be able to heal others while mounted on Woby, I really miss having Walter run up to me while riding Woby just to quickly use some healing items on me.

Snip!

Awesome! Thanks a ton for sharing these posts! I did love the mounted healing, I guess it's inconsistent with other things you can/can't do while mounted but it was so much fun
