reddocc Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 guys do you think every skin of every character should get their own separate skill tree (this is a serious question). I personally believe yes, this will happen no matter what. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baark0 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Frankly, Wonkey isn't an interesting character/mechanic to me. I think cursed trinkets are a really obnoxious mechanic, especially when the enemies can randomly spawn in a huge radius in the ocean and will come and steal your items. If you try to defend yourself, you're either stuck with 1 less inventory slot, or you're forced to visit their terrible island to give bananas to the queen to get your character back. Except, oops! The monkeys already harvested all the bananas on the island, so now you need to go to the ruins or play the balatro game to get some so you can finally get your inventory slot and character back. So yeah, I'm really not interested in a poorly designed punishment mechanic getting development time dedicated to it that could be spent doing literally anything else. I'd actually prefer if Klei did the opposite and completely erased Wonkey from existence. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866860 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Wonkey is supposed to be a curse, giving him a skill tree makes no sense. 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they spawn is marked by sea stacks, they only steal from the first slot in your inventory, cannon balls scare them away, they'll leave you alone if you give them a banana. I know some people hate them but I still to this day think it's neat to have a threat that punishes solutions that involve fighting instead of using other means...like survival scenario of some sort...hmm. 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cannons and cannon balls could be obtained without visiting the god awful island, then they'd actually be a pretty good solution to dealing with monkeys. They can't though, and once you know where the monkeys are, it's pretty easy to avoid them as long as they don't spawn near crab king (which for a fight as demanding as crab king, shouldn't be possible in the first place). 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picklesaurus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) It would be really fun, the only problem I see is that Klei is already working on another Dont starve game so they are probably tight on time. That said, it would be extremely cool to receive a Wonkey skill tree as a surprise during the lunar new year of the monkey that will happen in 2028. Also, here is a skill tree I made for Wonkey if somebody wants to check it out: Edited May 18 by Picklesaurus 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The island isn't that bad simply fill your first inventory slot with junk. I get it's a matter of opinion when it comes to them but I kinda wish we have more content like them where problems are presented that require solutions that aren't just resolved via violence. 1 hour ago, Baark0 said: as they don't spawn near crab king (which for a fight as demanding as crab king, shouldn't be possible in the first place). This right here is very true though I feel like if they spawn during a crab king fight they should instead be fleeing when they spawn due to fear of the boss. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think this "secret skill tree" would be cool. nit secret, i personally feel like wonkey should be unlocked in the characters starting screen the moment u unlock it ingame first by getting cursed , then u could start as wonkey whenever u join or make server instead of having to repeat the boring process, and they could tweak and buff the version in character screen and give it skilltrees , this way if u become wonkey by curses u dont have the skills etc , only when u switch or start as the actual wonkey character, wonkey have so much potential, imagine both pirate and cave monkies r friendly to him and he crafts their spawners on land and anywhere ,, ( both types ). crafting banana trees and some unique stuff too Edited May 14 by Naifxoxo 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171421-poll-wonkey-skill-tree/#findComment-1866985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
