Characters Wigfrid Wickerbottom and Woodie

[werlpolf]

Hi guys, hi Klei,

 

sorry in wrong sub forum, wanted to put it into Feedback and Suggestions.

 

this topic and problem isn't new, but I like to keep repeating espeacilly of a new character introduction and alot of people keep complaining of the awesomeness of Wigfrids talents XD

 

Woodie:

- transforming into the Werebeaver is something like a penalty for not eating enough wood, twigs and so on. Reason:

 

Werebeaver has no armor, can get freezed or overheated easier, same amount of health (not like the pigs and werepigs), loses very fast sanity, get attacked by crawlers and terror breaks (no sense attacking them in beaver-form) and drops equipped hat and weapon/tool instead of putting them into the bag (can get stolen).

 

And only for the following positive features: chop faster wood for no cost, but becoming faster this big beaver.

 

In some way this is a balanced character, BUT one very big disadvantage: the player must keep an eye on an additional facter, the beaverOmeter. This makes the whole gameplay much more difficult, since you need to concentrate on something else, not like the other characters. If you eating wood to keep you beavermeter up, your advantage of chopping wood faster, will not become an advantage anymore.

 

Another problem: Its winter and woodie have winter hat in an area with no trees. He transforms into this animal and run into the forest (without the winter hat), there it eats fast wood, else he get hunted by the shadows and transforms back and dies by freezing. My conclusion: I will never play ever this character with that stats.

 

Solution: make the werebeaver a beast not an animal. Regenration of health. Losing half as fast sanity then before. Higher damage. Having damage-taken-multiplier of 70% or 60%, having higher insulation and so on....

 

And Woodie's axe is talking to much

 

Wickerbottom:

- this lighting book is overpowered in combination with the sleeping book or any other sleep item: the victim cannot run to the attacker or run away, since of sleepiness and the book can be used out instantly in 10 seconds (5 uses(?)). This kills everyone, even 10 Wigfrids....

 

Solution: cool down time for usage of such book like 1 usage per 10 or 30 seconds. Next this tiredness should be stopped earlier the more often the character got hit.

 

 

Wigfrid:

 

- opposite of Woodie: more advantages then disadvantages.

 

Solution: no health or sanity boost from food-items. Or just 30% or 50% of that boost, like the food is spoiled. Then every Wigfrid needs to do what the character is for. Fighting and that in a good way without losing too much health, but gaining health. Even Honey ham shouldn't health Wigfrids.
