Buff Woby Here Woby There? (or fix it?)

[Radicaljoe]

With the new drones I've seen most people say that it doesnt step on Woby's skill, however I think it does. Namely because I think the Woby skill is broken/gets stuck sometimes. I've sent Woby back to my base near a cave stairs, while I was in ruins. I know they made Woby's walking time longer, but it took her a full 8+ minutes and she wasn't back. Then I called her back becuase at that point I was worried, and she had only put away 1 item (I had enough chests available, I had like 30 in her storage radius). I could have dropped everything at base myself and come back to ruins in 8 minutes.

I know the beta version of the skill was complained to be too fast, but whatever changed, broke it to be far too slow sometimes.

Personally I think they should rework it the big issue with the skill is you lose access to Woby making you ask the question of why would you ever bother using it excluding if you are a beefalo rider Walter I guess but even then Woby can be very helpful. 

 

So my solution is this bring back instant travel for Woby or make it take 10 seconds at max but in exchange place a cooldown on the ability. Perhaps 4 to 8 minutes? This way it doesn't feel like you are kneecaping yourself when using the ability. Also as a side bonus please let us send Woby to other players without relying on the compass...

  I think it needs both buffs and fixes. This is an ability you have to invest four skill points into, and it requires the player to give up some mobility and inventory space for a while. Just doubling Woby's movement and unloading speed would do the trick—after all, automatic unloading is still incredibly useful. Getting stuck is a critical issue, and it absolutely should be fixed at the mechanical level.

During his skill tree beta I suggested a simple button on the tab menu near players profiles to send Woby to them. I find using compass to send Woby to another player really clunky which resulted in me only using it this way once or twince, making it simple but with a considerable cooldown would be better than no cooldown and clucky like it is right now.
