So the game theyve been showcasing on youtube aint even the game yall are gonna get. Whole thing just seems sketchy. Would rather save my money and finally buy silksong. Way more value in that. I wouldn't even mind buying a board game blindly as a casual player, even if I am purely interested in the cosmetic skins. Sure, board games at their essence are fun. What irks and throws me off is the insane price (if you are only after collecting all of the exclusive (?) skins), the deliberate lack of information, the lack of creativity with subsequent stretch goals (considering the fountain of funding money) and fact that the game looks extremely bland in comparison to its price tag. Questionable value indeed. Or, no... not even that. It's extremely poor value, and for no apparent reason. Sorry. The skins are gorgeous, but > 250 $ is simply predatory (minus shipping costs, of course, mind you!) for a board game made out of acrylic and paper regardless of how much effort went into making it. 4 hours ago, Cheggf said: I wish the forums had a thinking reaction specifically so I can use it on this one single comment. This is weird and I'm wondering how things are gonna go. I'm gonna stay pledged because I like the minis, but I hope the game that I'm spending three quintillion dollars on is fun to play :steamhappy: This! 4 hours ago, Echsrick said: i think the dlc expansion for board game sould be part of the base...simple because the game does not exist therefor dlc makes no sense, it feels like purposfully cut contend in a way if you know what i mean? Yes, expansions in almost every case are meant to add features later on which warrant additional work. Here the game has not been finalized but the expansions will be available by the same time it ships in big numbers and with accompanying price tags. It makes zero sense from the players' perspective. It is stranger still that people who pledge the most expensive option where the name suggests they get everything won't even get everything. Now there are small sets that said people can buy to make up for the discrepancies in the type of mini figures on top of the super expensive pledge. 4 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/168260-dont-starve-boardgame-passed-15million-dollars-on-kickstarter-in-the-first-day/page/5/#findComment-1840519 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a hater on them this whole time and I'm still being a hater and I'm not saying they're not super greedy, but I am pleasantly surprised to see that the entirety of Warly has been consolidated into a single goal instead of split up into several different parts across the course of $500,000-$1,000,000 like the other characters.

I imagine the stretch goal will carry over to the pledge manager phase. Unfortunately it will not carry-over. The community has found a way to game the system though, and the devs confirmed that it will work. Once the campaign end, and it reaches the pledge manager phase, you can modify your pledge. Removing content will first go towards paying for your shipping, and then any more will be refunded. People have started donating their shipping costs to the campaign as a way to make it count towards the stretch goals. Here's hoping we get to 5M. 1 hour ago, alainmcd said: Yes, that was the joke.

Deadpan doesn't always land, and the internet doesn't make it any easier. I blame the internet. 46 minutes ago, Dr. Safety said: Unfortunately it will not carry-over. Even if they say that it won't, I'd be very surprised if they don't later "change their minds" "due to popular demand" or something. They have forecasts in advance for how many people will back the project and what funding levels they'll reach as well as the production costs per unit including all stretch goals. They've done concept and design work on all goals. This is all factored in. They've made silent adjustments to the stretch goals during the campaign so they remain on target, that is one reason why the stretch goals weren't all announced from the beginning. While there's always a last minute push, especially with new incentives, and I don't have the data to back it up, I find the $500K last day bump unrealistic and I'd assume they know it too. We'll see. Oh, and they're already teasing there'll be more characters later.

They're just missing Wes, Wagstaff, Walani, Wilbur, Woodlegs, Wheeler, Wilba, Wanda, and I guess Wonkey. They got all the important ones.

I think they should make it more obvious that you can still work towards the pledge goal. At the top of the page it says you can back, but has no mention that it will contribute towards stretch goals.
