Woodlegs perk discussion

[DwerBomb]

For me, I literally wish some character could poop! So, he could poop manure, or even a variant of guano which could not be used directly for crafting, but can be used for fertilization.

...ew.

His legs have durability and he has to crawl if the durability ever reaches zero.

Requires 2 logs for a fresh pair of legs.

Would be cool if he could walk in the shallows.

Legs could be flammable.

I like the idea of him having a pet parrot. Maybe the parrot drops gold coins randomly.

Maybe he has an eye patch so he reveals less of the map when he explores.

He has a beard so maybe he has some benefits like Wilson.

Can craft a pirate sail to travel faster at sea.

Just throwing my random ideas out there.. maybe one or two are good.

Except another sail idea (a LOT of sails are coming on their way! Even iron sail! Look at the tuning.lua), all else sounds fabulous.

You mean only Pirate hat can debuf sanity loss on land? That makes stuff too much complicated. Land can make him drop sanity, so he should do whatever necessary to debuf that, not another hat. But I would love if it would be possible to drain sanity on land which could only be debuffed by the hat. That needs too much code change in game mechanic on sanity, though. Without that, another fancy hat is complicating game.

 

Nah, that's not what I was implying, I just meant that the pirate hat would be a good option because it's cheap, fits the character, and is very good at restoring sanity.

Mr. Ackzay! If feeding ur parrot will give u a 1/10 change to get a dubloon ur gonna be swimming in dubloons real fast. Since monster meat is soo easy to get. It would be a great source of getting gold since the new update the slotmachine is awfull !!!! Except for the walking cane ofcourse. A bit OP won't u think! Also they should bring shipwrecked to ps4 sowe can see u on twitch playing it! ☺

 YES we miss your streams Mr. Ackzay!

My idea is that he could have a special hat, the one he wears in the pics, it should be unbreakable and boost his sanity. He starts with his hat and one harpoon gun, he walks slow and does less damage while in land, but sails boats faster and they take less damage from waves and enemies. I like the pet parrot idea but seems OP, and I think my stats are balanced.

[SapphireBullets]

Faster at sea/Slower on land would be the pretty obvious one.

Other sailing perks would be appropriate like having boats degrade slower and/or take slightly less damage from attacks.

However here's a couple of other ideas that might be more viable in RoG.

-Wooden legs are flammable, so he can catch on fire like other creatures.

-Booty hunter. killing a monster gets you two "Rolls" on their droppable loot, so rare items are more common.

-Can "Eat" wood and twigs to heal damage by fixing up his legs. (Works up to 33% of his total health, so mostly useful at critically low health.)

[Maxturra]

You guys really forgot that we'll have to unlock his cage to free him, that will probably be hard. This is already a downside to consider.... And I really wish there was a character with an unbreakable head/chest item.

[SapphireBullets]

Hard to get doesn't enter into it. Wes is really hard to get but represents more of a challenge for the experienced player.

[Maxturra]

I know man, but we don't need another challenging character, we need an interesting one for shipwrecked, Walani  is disappointing and Warly is kinda good for travelling and such but once you set up a base he isn't really that interesting.

I also liked your ideas with the fire vulnerability and booty hunting.

[Zeklo]

Being able to walk through puddles with his wooden legs without a downside.

Being able to re-roll the booty in a chest would be fantastic as well.

I agree to both Zeklo and hijoker, I also think that there shouldn't be a focus on RoG, since this is another DLC with lots of different content, and he is a pirate, he is more on exploring the sea rather than walking around with legs made of wood. I agree about "world-hopping" tough, I want a Tam o' Shanter in shipwrecked.
