Shortening Woby's travel time for "Woby here, Woby there"

[shuishuihuohuo]

I think significantly increasing Woby's travel time seems a bit excessive. When Woby is away, Walter is somewhat less effective, and overly long travel times can really hinder the experience when delivering items to teammates. My friends prefer using the Rabbit King's Horn for exchanging and transferring supplies over this skill. Considering that this skill requires three Insight points to unlock and isn't used very frequently, I would like to see it strengthened.

Yeah I'll be honest I completely stopped using the skill after that change like it's good in theory but in practice it's just not as good as it seems the amount of time Woby is away significantly slows down your gameplay to the point you'd just be better off delivering items yourself.

I mean it was done purely so that it fits with the time when people are at the location you send woby to so that way its not stronger alone.

your game is never going to be slower when doing 2 things at once than just 1 thing at once.

I still never have my tree without that skill. I use it constantly and I usually only play in solo worlds. It's not  as useful as it was before the nerf, but I still think it is really good.

Really just depends on how you build your Woby if just use a beefalo your not losing much but if you use Woby during the time she's gone you lose your speed, collection rate, food dupe, and faster work speed when you could just use storage alternatives instead and save more overall time

the price to pay for a strong skill is it not?

I feel like the issue is it doesn't feel strong anymore it's useful depending on your playstyle but the negatives tend to outweigh the benefits at it's current speed especially for the additional skill points you need to invest to unlock. Shortening the travel time would make it feel more useful compared to the alternatives.

I'm not gonna make any comments on the travel time, as I did think it didn't make much sense before when she was almost instant, though it is annoying waiting for her to come back after I kill AG and need more space from her.

However I do think the skill has become hard to commonly get value out of, aside from kind of pointlessly sending items home from Lunar when I could just plop em all on the boat anyways. I just wish it were free to send Woby to your friends, it is never worth lugging around a compass just to maybe take advantage of WHWT (maybe it is but good luck convincing your friends of that).
