[Game Update] - Winter's Feast (BETA 199914)

[56933043043]

Klei really put a lot of thought into this boss. The Klaus even grows enraged if you telelocate the deer!

[Zeklo]

A boss that requires you to keep the deer alive. At least if you wanna better time. I like it.

Many oblivious players will die to this. Heck they're gonna die by accidentally spawning them xD. 

Amazing.

It looks like Klaus' sack is spawned some time between day 20 to 24 if the starting season is autumn, so the sack will not spawn in the initial winter of a winter start. Is this correct? I guess this is because it's tied to the deer herd and migration stuff which also starts in autumn. Any chance you guys could put in an exception for winter starts? Spawn the deers midway through their migration patterns or something? 

p.s. here's a minor graphical bug I came across:

 

Is this a ninja update?? I have no idea what is going on here..

OH GOD. Can we please talk about how absolutely horrifying Klaus looks? Euguhg.. His face stitches and claws and gaping maw chest just... send shivers down my spine. I hate him but love it at the same time..

Oh yes. Especially the stitches. Who did them? Charlie? And why?

Maxwell says "Charlie didn't make that one!" when he examines Klaus..

Where the heck did it come from??

I've got no eye deer!!

Maybe he did it himself. You can't go insane if you can't see it!

Also explains why his deer have bells on their collar, they're like his guide dogs!

I love the way Klaus resurrects with a life-giving amulet for the second phase, it's always nice when games have enemies use the same items that characters do.

[Zeklo]

So is Klaus not supposed to have AoE? Seems a bit odd to me.

[Sicko Hog]

Same with the Bee Queen. I think it's because they both have minions (grumble bees and deer respectively) that they'd kill accidentally with AoE attacks.

I think technically the attacks done by the deers are AoE maybe?(Lava and Ice floor)

Yeah, and they'll create one of these floors per player if they are split up.

What is the difference of customizing the event option in the world generation as Default or Winters Feast?

Currently, I believe the Winter's Feast is default considering the date, but once the date passes you'll need to manually turn it on if you wish to have it.

With default, all events will come and go as we see fit, including being added to existing worlds.
Setting it to an event will force the event to remain on forever in that world and ignore any future events that we enable. 
None will also prevent all events that we enable from entering your world.

Sorry but I miss something, is this awesome new boss just an event?, after holydays he and all this content will disappear like the halloween stuff? or this content will be optional? I really would like to keep Klaus as an optional boss

It looks like he'll be an optional boss after the event.

Klaus will remain after the event.

That green bauble should be hanging lower. There's wasted space on that tree.

Protip: you can time yourself putting the lights so that they either turn on at the same time (fancy color combinations), or that you get always one turned on (great for nights).

So does this update count as one of A New Reign's updates?

It was said in the original teaser stream for Klaus' deer, that this was a separate update and they would return to ANR updates after.

That is what was said. I can't personally guarantee its authenticity.

"Klaus will remain after the event."

Thank you, it only needed 15 hours to pass to get an answer from someone officially from Klei.

and the star is missing, would be great if we could use a dwarf star
