A solution to Willow and other character MP issues, Host options PVE/PVP?

[Agarthan]

Add more host server options, like adding durability (and thus recipes) to each players specialty items.

This way Willow and others can be nerfed (think of the settings as PVE or PVP mode) if so desired by the server host, but it also doesn't just blanket make the decision for everyone, which is what so many people are upset about right now, myself included.

I don't have an insane amount of hours in this game but it's over 50 hours between DS and DST.  I've always felt like the game was so well balanced and the ides put forth so good that I didn't need to join the creative discussion, now I do.  I think this was an extremely bad decision that fundamentally changes Willow as a character and if you feel it's necessary for MP purposes, I understand, but I think the choice should be left to the server host to decide and that option should be expanded to all the characters to balance them for pvp.

Someone just suggested a really good additional option besides mine, the ability for host to lock out certain characters.  That doesn't resolve the MP balancing that needs to occur, but I think it would be another really good additional server host option that will resolve the current predicament.

@Agarthan, hello!

 

Willow changes are not final. Willow and PvP are not a top priority. Now it's bringing Reign of Giants to DST.

 

In the meantime, there are mods to bring back Willow to her unnerfed state.

Thanks!
