Character Rebalance Discussion thread

I like where wickerbottom is going. What is the point of calling down a flock of birds though?

That sounds like it'll be great when combined with the Lure Plant! Lots of morsels and feathers.

love the new wickerbottom, going to be fun and interesting.

[Avarwen]

I'm not sure yet. Maybe you make a bunch of bird traps first? Or combine it with the fire book to make a lot of cooked meat all at once?

Maybe they can help you fight if only for a few seconds and it would need a cool down time so it wouldn't be OP.

It's really nice to see all of those changes. Once this update is released, I will play the hell out of the characters ;p

[Catastrophics]

Will we need to start a new game to play the changed characters or will they work with existing worlds? Sorry if this has already been answered!

Jaw dropped when I read Wickerbottom's "Spells".Her sleep ability means she can't use Straw Roll, Fur Roll, Tent, Mandrake Way ?

I think mandrake should still work, I mean it knocks you out, so even an insomniac would be left unconscious. As for the sleep rolls & tent I read it as you have to read a book, any book, before you could use a sleep item.

I got an idea for Wickerbottom.As she is quite old she has slower movement speed than the other characters, and to balance that she starts with a walking cane which when equipped boosts her up to normal walking speed.

No that will just make it more tedious playing as her, since she's old I imagine maybe lower health but that's just me.

Kevin! All these characters are awesome, i have only played as willow, wilson, and wendy! But now i want to die to unlock them :3 with books, spells, lighters, balloons, upgradable gears, lightning wx, and better wolfgang!Someone kill me! It's too much awesomeness!!!

Not sure if Wickerbottom is OP... :I

Seems like she could use one more downside. There aren't many situations where you would really want to sleep using a straw roll or tent, as it's rather easy to get supplies to survive the night.

Question: Can other character pick up Willow's lighter or Wendy's Hairpiece?

You can possibly drop lighter/hairpiece on ground before entering adventure mode, and change character after completion.

[jbeetle]

That's a good question haha

[bigpak]

I have a feeling that if you drop it then change characters maybe it would turn into ash.

Wickerbottom is perfect!!!

Agreed... her only negative is that she can't sleep... In all my play-through I've used a 'sleeping roll/tent' but once... It's not exactly that much of a balancing feature...Other than her OP'ness, she sounds pretty awesome! Edited June 19, 2013 by DaS

It's got my approval!!!

[All Blue]

It's got my approval!!!

So, no one shall complain.

[Orima-Kazooie]

That sounds cool , i think that will be excellentAlso it could be like they follow maxwell for free but since they are failed creation they can drain maxwell's sanity when near like pigs, only reversed.

Well they already drain sanity maybe they just wouldn't change that when allied; I'm loving the idea of maxwell's perks acting against each other in prioritizable ways

[Orima-Kazooie]

ASDFFFFF

Doesn't that figure orz

I used WOckerbottom for the first time I reached 200 days (fun fact my previous record was 37) and the most used craft was the tent orz

[TheHomeChicken]

Wickerbottom seems AWESOME. Im a bit worried she'll be a bit OP, but, hey, she is the last XP unlockable character thus far, so :3

[Jac]

When you need a **** tons of reeds, you will no longer think she's op.
