Packim Baggims, you are weird.

[halfrose]

BEFORE you say anything.

NOPE, this is not really a complaint forum, just sharing weird thoughts, I mean, everyone is already aware of the 1000 posts about how Packim is too slow or his target priority is awkwardly high.

 

So I got the game a few days ago

(which first days I spent messing around the game files...a modder's amusement don't blame me)

 

So I finally decided to start playing the game, ok, it is actually really cool, except of course of the boat's speed that is equivalent to a slug, in such a giant map

henche why I literally created a custom boat for myself (still feel so acomplished for that)

 

So I finally found Packim!

well, yeah, I refrained from seeing any image of him because I literally wanted to be surprised with the 'new chester' well, I was, just, not in the way I expected.

 

 

I honestly, don't know exactly how to feel about him, I mean, he is a bird, thing, that makes weird swallow noises.

I mean he looks cool, I just don't, I still didn't manage to get over the fact he looks like he hates my guts.

I mean look at his face, he looks like he is wishing upon a wave of seahounds to destroy me.

Maybe he is indeed angry and wants me dead for stuffing him with weird non food objects, who knows.

 

but really, his stare

and then I actually expected that stead of a flying thing, that the new 'chester' would be something like a bird/flying fish creature, like...

this is literally how I imagined it would look like.

 

Drew Packim as a size comparison

also forgive my lazy lining skills

 

Like I said, Packim doesn't look bad or etc, sure, not impressive but hey, it is still fine.

 

I just thought that Klei was going to go on the more 'blend two animals together' kind of creative style that they always go with.

 

But anyway, it is still there, it will still carry your stuff regardless, just needs fixes

Maybe with time, I could just create a custom Packim mod or such.

The pain of drawing accurate lines, I understand

I can't do good lines without spending an hour on them

this is why I favor lineless drawing :'D

you have no idea the time it took me to do the lines of the custom boat.

[GuyPerfect]

Speak for yourself. If I could draw as well as you, I would rule the world.

Ah you just need to follow those steps

1 get a drawing tablet and drawing program, or pen and paper

2 make a ritual and sell your soul to some entity

3 use the new found powers from the lack of soul to draw and practice anatomy for days, for months and so on

 

4 repeat

 

...art is amazing :'D

I, too, don't really like the look of Packim. It just looks like a bird with lines on its belly. I know it's competing with Chester for being a useful mutt and that's hard going, but packim could be better in my mind.

[MoloMan]

Fisrt I love that you're not one of those guys who just want Chester back, I litterally want to stuff those guys inside of packim so that I can keep him fat. Second I agree with the fact that he should be a mix of two animals and they should totally change his eye, to me it looks like he's always laughing behind my back because he knows that my death is inevitable... I do kind of like him though especially when he's fat... I don't know why but I find fat things kind of cute like tiny kiwi birds.....  I love his tiny burps he does when I open him but I want to keep it because it's a bit more challenging than putting nine pieces of shadow fuel into chester... wow that's hard...

I don't find the look BAD like BAD BAD, I just really thought that I would see a 'mixed animal', like those toucancrows/? or like Goose/Moose, bearger, dragonfly, deerclops and etc, like, being a bird, in the sea and stuff gives a lot of room for creating an hybrid, I mean

 imagine how cool would it be to have a flying fish following you :'D

Yeah I don't think bringing Chester back and just making him chapable of swimming or giving him wings would be the most creative thing, I mean, it would be equivalent to them, stead of giving us glommer, giving Chester some different color and some bug eyes. I actually approve Klei's idea to adding a new companion pet that carries your stuff for each expansion or game they make about DS, hell, even the adorable larva goes.

 Yeah, I mean, come on, imagine how cool would be to have a flying fish following you.

 

 who knows, maybe Packim really knows our death in game is inevirable...maybe he is laughing that we are struggling to survive...or that at any moment if he dies in the sea and has some non floatable item, it will just sink XD

 Ok being a bit more serious about the eye, yeah, maybe if they changed like, at least make his eye be completely white as like 90% of all creature designs in the game, it would kinda make it less like Packim wants or knows we will die. But again, I kinda understand WHY Klei did that, I mean, if you realized from what we just said, we kind of gave the 'he thinks' idea. So maybe that is what Klei was looking for, for us to see Packim and imagine that he is actually pretty sentient and if he could, he would talk.

Not Klei this time.

Prepare for lots of uninspired designs and Wobsters, because W is some kind of a theme thing... right ?

 

[grekon]

Wow. I like the blue packim baggims much more. Respect.

 

I don't think he should be a merge of 2 animals though. He needs to be weird.

Like chester - dog with one eye that isn't even attached to him.

[halfrose]

 I don't think the new creatures and such lack 'inspiration', quite contrary, they are keeping their 'animal crossing style' if in case you played shipwrecked,

to me Caapi(always mess up their name) and Klei are doing a great job

Maybe when Shipwrecked progresses a bit more in updates I could try to make a blue packim like that.

 

It would be cool if there was a thread where people could place their ideas for how they think packim or maybe some similar could look like.

I don't like packim for one main reason: his frickin' noises when he follows you.

Look at the good side, at least Packim is not as loud as Glommer is. 

 Glommer noise level is like, bothersome sometimes.

True dat. Even if my glommer was just a goop dispenser sitting near my base for basically his whole life, his sounds were worst than Packim's.

Believe it or not, once Glommer's noise was so distracting it prevented me from hearing the hound wave coming, when I realized, they were like, just a few seconds from spawning, that moment sucked, to my luck I had a beefalo pen, so I pretty much just ran there.

[TMJJack]

I don't think he looks angry, but there's definitely something sketchy about him. That looks says  "I just pooped in your lunch box and you don't know yet."

I would beat packim to death a second time

yes, I beat him to death in game

 

why?

 

  I was sailing and it flew over a group of stinkrays that attacked me, then he flew over another group, making me make a detour and nearly die by poisoning, and then I still get attacked by hounds... I think,... I think he is laughing at me, he knows I will die.

 

I literally beat him to death with my sword after surviving that 8'D

[kaeaa]

I honestly couldn't care less about his appearence. Yes. his noises are somewhat annoying, but not even close to Glommer, or not for crying out load - mandrakes! Packim Baggims has the coolest name in the entire Don't Starve universe so his looks can be whatever. I really enjoy his weirdness. 

 

(my first post on this forum YEY)

[nosajkeram]

I don't like the look of packim baggims, or his name. I was expecting something different, more tropical. Kind of feels like jar jar binks.
