Maximum124 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 We dont know if we'll be able to pick the same character, or if there will be any differences between the players if we can. In the latest DST video, there were multiple of the same character with no differentiation between them. We dont know if they'll keep that or not though, since its still in early alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrimbles Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Maybe player names will show up above peoples heads. Might get in the way of speech text, but that really shouldn't be hard to fix. Kinda meh on recolors, if Klei plans on having pretty decent size servers (aka 12 or more I think), there just wouldn't be enough distinguishable colors xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobbstar Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't think they'll have player names, that'd be pretty meta, and break the atmosphere a bit.They may specify certain parts of character sprites to allow colour change (Wilsons shirt, Wolfgangs bathing suit stripes, Wigfrids hair, etc.).Of course, if Klei allows over four players, there isn't really any way to lock a character once somebody already chose it, since a new player would be unable to choose any, and quite soon any player. If Klei does not allow more than four players, they may or may not lock already chosen characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario384 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If we can't pick the same character more than once, everyone is going to want more playable characters to increase the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You are put in an arena and must fight to the death. Winner plays the character. Nah, in all seriousness, I'm hoping there'll be some sort of marker, even if it's just a name that appears when you hover over them. Not always visible, but at least you can tell if you really need to. Even though I probably won't be playing PVP servers, I imagine part of the thrill will be coming from not knowing whether another player is someone you previously allied with or not. But I imagine the farther you get in the game, the easier it will be to tell as I highly doubt everyone's going to be constantly carrying the same things. One Willow might favour a football helmet while another likes a top hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaAtia Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hopefully a name comes over them if you examine them. Maybe have character specfic insults based on who examines such as Wickerbottom: That nicompoop's name is ________Willow. Oh that's Mr/Ms Boring _________ over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_BBZ Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Even though it might not seem like multiples of the same character makes sense, but consider two things; parallel universes and imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J20hawkz Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 One solution is to just allow multiples of the "default" character, that being good old Wilson. To differentiate between the Wilson's I like the colour idea (blue, red, green, yellow etc) or have our online names visible over our heads. Either works for me. When we say something text will appear above our heads and our names either fade our or appear just bellow or even above the text, seems legit to me.
