Character Rebalance Discussion thread

[OOO]

another thing that debunks it is that Kevin already said what the perk was more than likely going to be.

Uh.. What did he say?(I'm a little behind here, sorry)

[jbeetle]

that he was more than likely giving Maxwell the ability to control merms at a reduced cost (compared to pigs I would assume).

Wendy

[ATTACH=CONFIG]9466[/ATTACH]

Positives:

[*]Less sanity drain from night and monsters

Negative:

[*]Lower combat damage

Abigail:

[*]Wendy spawns with "Abigail's flower" in her inventory. After a cooldown period has expired, can place it on the ground. If something dies near it at that point, Abigail will spawn and wear the flower in her hair.

[*]The spawning takes some sanity.

[*]Abigail will follow you and protect you from threats / attack your targets until she falls in combat or you attack her.

[*]Abigail moves fast enough to keep up with you.

[*]Abigail will get along with other 'pets', and doesn't damage Wendy.

[*]Abigail causes more damage during the night than during the day.

[*]Abigail slowly regenerates health.

[*]Abigail drops the flower when she de-spawns, so that you can pick it up again.

Huh. Well, that's sort of like my blood magic idea.

Kevin said that Maxwell created the Merms as a failed experiment, and they would look up to him as a father and befriend him. According to Maxwell's dialog, the merms were actually there before he was, and the Tall Birds were the failed experiment. Edited June 18, 2013 by oCrapaCreeper

Great job on the Wendy changes.Seems like you have to pick up the hairpiece after all, but it's pretty balance considering what we get in exchange.Oh, another question, does sanity drain rate from complete darkness decrease as well, or does it stay the same?

[Orima-Kazooie]

Aww, I was hoping the twin thing might come into effect. But Wendy sounds infinitely more useful now.

[Mr.Game&Watch]

Simple; the specific non-renewable resource in context is gears, only useful for making Ice Boxes, which slow down the spoilage of food. However, the only character who CAN eat these non-renewable resources can eat stale or spoiled without any penalty, so an Ice Box is virtually useless, so it is only logical that each gear is used for eating to increase your max stats instead of something that is virtually useless.

I still think it's out of characterI do make the icebox with wx when given the opportunity, wx still doesn't benefit from eating total rot

overthinking things can lead to you having less fun

[bigpak]

This is going to be a amazing update! I can't contain my excitement, all these perks are looking lovely and mostly balanced! I can't wait to see whats in store for wickerbottom and maxwell and of course the new character

[Gotheran]

Not bad on the wendy tuning, it'll be helpful to have Abigail around 24/7 as long as she doesn't die, one tiny unbalance is possibly getting through nights without a fire since she doesn't give painful hugs anymore.

[bigpak]

Aww, abigail looks so cute I just want to give her a giant hug and snuggle

[SharpNomo]

I like the look of the new Abigail, especially the health regen part.

[MadCookie93]

i got an idea for Wickerbottom ^_^ for example she could be abel to make a book that would let here make some resources ... like make gold nuggets from nitrate ? would be interesting ;o or makybe alow here to make a item that reduce sanity lost ? idk maybe 1 of that fancy hats that u get after u finish college in some countrys would suit the old teacher

Wickerbottom should be able to make stuff without a level 1 science machine. Like for the shovel and backpack!

She already can. She can craft most tier 1 items without a science machine. That includes shovels and the backpack.

[AnEmptyDream]

My only real idea for Wickerbottom could be perhaps some sort of SHH! When enemies run towards Wickerbottom you can Right-Click to SHH! Them, this would make them freeze in their tracks for a quick moment. There would obviously be a cooldown on the ability, but maybe make it rather short, being the Enemies would only freeze for a very small amount of time. Otherwise I absolutely adore every other character and their Changes.

Hahaha that's unique and awesome!

Hey Kevin, can you fix a bug? When you have multiple bees in your inventory, and you right click on them to murder one of them, the game actually murders ALL of them instead of ONE.

Maybe giving here a ruler weapon at start or a craftable one with a special efect or certain dmg like maxwel`s sword

its not a bug bro pick up the stack and hold control and left click it just drops one in your inventory and you can murder it

[Shadow_Of_Awesome]

I agree XD
