WillPwn4Food Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 In light of the recent roadmap and request for continual suggestions and feedback, how do we, the player base, want gears to be balanced? I personally like how the clockworks show up at your island to cause havoc. However, they do nothing of the sort. You can tank them and likely not take a single hit. On top of this, 4 gears per boat is a ridiculously large drop rate. After just one squad of boaty knights, every character except WX will have all the gears they will ever need. I think the drop rate should be lowered to one gear per knight and they're lethality dramatically increased.

Maybe they should also drops some different items alongside that 1 gear like Coconades (since they shoot cannons it would make sense) and maybe some Dubloons every now and then. ALways something i found semi dissapointing about the Clockworks in regualr DS/RoG was that their loottable was basicly gears gears and more gears except for the BIshop who also could drop a Purple Gem every now and then so a bit more variety in the Loottable for the FLoaty Clockworfpieces would be a refreshing change.

VeryDead Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 With Floaty Boaty Knights, I would enjoy seeing them ONLY come if major marine life days, like a whale. Even then, they should probably reduce the amount of gears they drop or make a way to turn excess gears into useful things, (for others besides WX - 78). Besides the fact they pop up more common than rain does in April, they should be more difficult to fight. You'd think they'd be slightly intimidating for being a sea armada, but they're basically big rubber duckies that eat your spear strikes and give you free gears. All they need is some sort of melee attack to make them a bit more difficult, which they could easily copy and paste the clockwork knight's headbutt for the boats. Or something more creative...

SenhorLevi00 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Imo they should add a very userful recipe that require gears like a boat engine or a steam boat. That each require 5~8 gears to craft and I agree with the drop rate of the floaty boaty knights, they should drop only 2 gears for being this easy to kill.
