AttackMammoth Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I Know right know Klei priority is Reign of giants right now but im posting this anyways. In some hope that at least they see it or address it. and i have posted this on steam but know real feed back has come of it. It is day 101 and Abigail has been pretty much useless. Whenever hounds show up she’s dead and they come 3-7 days now and with Abigail’s respawn time around 3-4 days it can be troublesome. When I need her to help farm spiders or fight tail birds she dead and why? It’s because she always tries to tank which isn’t always a good thing. When tree guards show up (which every 4 of so days two more decide to grace me with their presence) Abigail Starts to attack and I do what I can to try to get her to avoid them but she gets close enough, then she agros them and I have to pull out the pimp cane and hall it in the opposite direction so Abigail will stop fighting because she can’t take them and I’m in no way ready for a fight. Then she shows up almost dead with that sad look on her face. After that then hounds show up and she dies. This happens a lot with a lot of different enemies and there have been many times in when I would like to gather a certain thing but there are dangers nearby and Abigail will get killed if she comes or severely hurt, then she won’t be able to tank/ help me kill something later like tail birds.If I try to use the ice staff on deer clops she attacks and I can’t place dynamite. If I’m trying to get away from the love able mac and wee tusk because I don’t want to deal with him she gets hit and run s off screen and I have to do the same thing with the tree guards. But like with the tree guards she doesn’t always come back as I open my map and see the flower where she died, thus causing even more of a pain. I would just like to say that I like Wendy she’s my favorite character. As well as Abigail but the amount of time I’ve been hinder by her absence and lack of control I have over her has gotten me killed quite a lot more then she helped. I like the dmg that she does how she does more dmg at night, her AOE attacks are fine and so is her heath. I just feel that there should be a way to controller her a bit more. I figured they could add in a something like a “phantom flower” that spawns after you summon her and if you equip it she huddles up too you and cant attack for as long as you have it equipped. if she is fighting something she stops trying to fight mobs and runs to huddle up to you. This flower or whatever item it is could drain sanity while you have it equipped for however much they choose (I mean id think id start to lose it if a ghost was huddling right next to me). If that’s not enough of a drawback they could make it to where Abigail or Wendy or both if they want take more damage then the flower is equipped. Maybe if they wanted you could drop it and she stays with the flower but won’t attack any mobs that come near the flower or Wendy. The reason I say “phantom flower” is that it should disappear when Abigail dies. There should still be the challenge of having to go get “Abigail’s flower” if she dies. If someone is fine the way Abigail controls they could be a option to consume it and the flower would be gone and free space in your inventory but won’t be able to control her like you would with it (then she acts the way she does now).Id actually be just fine with a way to make her wait somewhere. Please let me know what you guys think. I realize it’s kind of hard to add something like this in without making it too easy. If you see any problems with is idea or a better idea please share it.

Divideby0 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The pattern ive noticed is that Abby also kind of "dies" when you do. So when you go back to your spot, you need to attack her and let rest before summoning her again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhollyGhost Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I use Wendy more than any other character, just bc I love Abigail...it does get agro when you're not wanting to fight n yet she hovers just where she shouldn't...but I haven't seen a terrible issue her, she doesn't die as quick as I'm lead to believe you're indicating.As far as the hounds go, I build a stone wall w a colde sack and a long hallway w tooth traps (yes I saw another player do it, so it's not original, just a superb tactic)...There is also a program that allows us to mod items and characters. Tho when I looked into myself it I found that it may be a lil complex...but I'm still gonna learn how to do it, look into that, see if you can figure it out and then share it w others for feedback...

The and hovering just where she shouldn't is just a pain. Thanks for hitting that frog mate while im crafting or doing something or just have to get threw this area, now all 10 of his buds are gonna come greet you. While the meat and the wool are nice i wanted you to not kill and or agros the massive heard of beefalos in heat (which are just positioned to where i know whats gonna happen since you dont stay close, but i have to get by here) have to wait to farm spiders when your not looking all sad or dead .After helping me clear some tail birds she runs at a tentacle and get dropped its stuff like that, Most of my problems when your trying to get your self together or your almost dead. After your set there not that much need for her. another winter with out spawning her... flower looks nice tho... The pattern ive noticed is that Abby also kind of "dies" when you do. So when you go back to your spot, you need to attack her and let rest before summoning her again. ive had that problem too where she just sits there sometimes happens after a fight even when i don't die, i normally just reload the world.
