Werebeaver! (Also character specific items)

[Scrimbles]

Maybe this is a bit too early, but theres just a few things I wanted to bring up about it,

 

1. Should other characters react differently to Werebeaver Woodie? (Sanity loss?)

 

2. Lucy! Should other players be able to use Lucy? Should other players be able to HEAR Lucy? (What about other items for players?)

 

3. I will prolly answer my own question, but when the Werebeaver goes down, should Woodie wake up right away? Or should he somehow be forced to wait a day to revive.

 

Discuss?

The same thought for me. But with Webber in stead of Woodie.

...the two together probably somewhat chaotic in MP. Their player style are quite different and make me wonder how it will end up.

Oh god Webber could be the most griefiest character in multi-player, just comes into your server, places a spider nest on top of your base and just leaves.

 

Im sure Klei will have a plan to fix this kinda stuff tho

Yes I'm sure. But to me, they've hard time to fix spider army killing Chester problem, so I don't know for sure. XD

The RoG characters probably are the reason they will not do RoG MP right away I guess.

A better question: what happens when werebeaver runs out. Woodie gets knocked out til the next day when that happens. How will that work in multiplayer?

[AquaAtia]

I think there's a thing in place where if a character picks up an unique character item it just vanishes in mid air. However it would be cool if you couldn't hear Lucy if you're not playing as Woodie which makes him seem more insane. Were-beaver would probably work the same and onto Webber. No idea how you can fix this other then suggesting you don't do a game with people you don't know

What about Touch Stones, who will get it, and only 2 can spawn in a map, so will they eight, 2 for each player...?

 

Note: And what happens when Touch Stones are used, will the person skip a day?

I imagine time jumps will apply to everyone, there's really no other way to do it.

Or time jumps stop happening, i mean if you die in the night you respawn in the night...

I think it'd be interesting if non-Woodie characters that try to use Lucy find that they can't use her to chop down trees. Because she's simply refusing to.

 

"You're not Woodie!"

 

she has quotes like these in strings.lua, I think.

Or, time jumps stop happening, yes. They may tweak it so that there are other effects instead. I'm not sure what they could replace it with. Wouldn't tents, rolls, and siesta huts be much less useful without time jumps?

 

Maybe they could implement a delta over time for the stats, instead.

Why's that?  Just instantly respawn, time continues.  They could add some kind of lamp that lights up when you are resurrected, and lasts for a day.  Thereby ensuring you don't just die to darkness again.

Like I said, what will happen to tents, or mandrakes for that matter?

 

If it was only the resurrection stones affected, sure.

I guess I would assume in the case of sleeping items, that player sleeps, while others go on.  Sleeper's sanity regens over time.  Sleeping player won't get hounds spawned on them, but if a spider wanders into camp and bites their sleeping arse, well, too bad!  I suppose the sleeper would have to be immune to Charlie while sleeping though.

I think sleeping players is quite dull.

 

I don't want to use a tent to watch my character sleep for 10 minutes.

[brummbar7]

Mandrakes might be an enforced sleep that the player can't choose to wake from, and it only ends at morning.  Which would suck if you feel victim at start of day.  Otherwise they'd have to make sure you wake up like, a couple hours before dark, at least.

I hear ya.  Otherwise I think they just have to discard the mechanic and replace with something else.

 

edit: I think the longest night gets is like, just over 4 minutes isn't it?

That's what I think will end up happening, after some reconsideration.

[nekomee]

what about being ghost until you respawn?

[Renmiri]

In WoW shapeshifting druids die in their spot and respawn as their original character at the spot they died or at graveyards. Or the other player can ressurect ya

[XirmiX]

The Werebeever thing, he should wake up if it's still day time or evening. If it's night time your player would have to wait till the next day. Aboutlucy, if someone else picks her up she should say "you're not woodie" or something, if that's not already in the game cause there is examination for Wilson for Abigail thought they would technically not meet (found this out when cheating long ago). The Werebeever light should only be seen for the player using it, the others won't be able to, so it's not OP with light for everyone. WX-78 thought would have light to provide for everyone but that won't be easy to catch up with him (especially sinse he hates hoomans ). Abigail would follow Wendy on every cost, unless Wendy is not in the world, she would follow whoever spawned her to not crash the game, or just wonder off like a glommer without the flower.

There is somethjng I'm concerned about: if you die you drop all the stuff you had, even the special items, which is a problem. I'd suggest that the special items don't get dropped unless the player grts revived, cause then everyone will hqve the ability to use those special items!
