Sliver Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Krampus is a Chump.So I have to see if I'm the only one who thinks this, but is Krampus way too easy to defeat? He's a chump if the player character has a spear and football helmet. Krampus dies before he can even take a single pinecone out of a chest, and this gear can be aquired easily by like day 2.The idea of Krampus was to make meat less effective, by punishing the player for abusing the wildlife. But how he is now, he's not even the slightest threat. Kill as many defenseless pigs as you want, because Krampus will just get his **** rocked.Personally, I would be happy if Krampus came into your camp, took your ****, and then ran away. If he was faster than you, he would be a real threat.

qwerm Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 quick question, just how many days are you at?because up to 4 can spawn after 100+ days, and at THAT stage, they are an awful lot of handful at times if you aren't careful.Also, krampus IS faster than you, he's just easily distracted by all the chances to loot stuff.

Osterhasi Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Sometimes more than one Krampus appear at the same time. This may be a problem if they attack on different sides. You have to fight one, while the other Krampus is stealing your stuff.

Diamond Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Agree with both above, Krampus isn't as easy as you think when your not prepared.Especially if there are a couple.

Arcadias Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ah so at first it's like, oh wow, no challenge, I'm gunna kill what I want!But then you get set in that mindset, and a few in game weeks later like 3 pop up and go for your stuff.My question is, if there's more than one and you attack one, will the other/others aggro on you?

themastadon85 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Dang, I'm gonna need more bee mines.I'll give you a small tip Try using backpacks, and just drop them on the floor instead of chests...Krampus won't have anything to destroy!Items on the floor won't despawn anyways!

Arcadias Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That's a shame, I feel they should aggro, protect their fellow Krampus' (Krampii? ) Would make it even harder with 3-4 of them kicking you where it hurts.

It makes sense that krampus should be a PUNISHMENT, rather than just an opportunity for more loot( charcoal, krampus sack).

Arcadias Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yeah, a swarm of fiesty kicking Krampii would definately make it more of a threat at the later stages Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/3870-krampus-is-a-chump/#findComment-31100 Share on other sites More sharing options...

horatio_svetlana Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Krampus looks great, has a great mechanic, he's just a great addition. I think it's much more of a threat to your items if they don't aggro. Love how you can still avoid being visited by him if you don't hunt, love it devsXD Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/3870-krampus-is-a-chump/#findComment-31503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SardaTFK Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 From what i've seen he always destroys the first chest he comes in contact with, collects the contents, and retreats. This prompted my "Krampus Defense mk2: Chest Cube Matrix" , Make a tight group of chests, fill them with stuff you want to save, then build a ring of empty chests around those, he'll never attack the good chests as long as you keep replacing the empties he wrecks.
