Ali Bun Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You know how we had the year of the Gobbler? Wouldn't it be cool to have a year of the varg event since 2018 is the year of the dog? Up the Hound attacks lol, or something else that would be cool. What would you guys want to see?

Sicko Hog Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'd like for Year of the Gobbler to come back with a few extra hound-themed items added to the gobbler shrine. It would be a very questionable decision to have the YotG content only available for one month of one year.

Kinda harsh assessment. If we're going by "nothing in aiding with survival" a lot of DST items, clothing and weapons alike, don't add much to actual survival in terms of usefulness and/or efficiency. Yet, with "Year of the Gobbler" event, you could make pretty cheaply Lucky Fans as a fun way of cutting trees (prior planted very close to one-another) for example, or a lot of Red Lanterns for nice base decoration/ light - all you had to 'sacrifice' in making those were berries. Plus Gobbler Shrine 'pacified' said spawned gobblers, making it easy to kill and not eating your berries during daytime harvesting - again something rather useful to have. But, as you wrote, one could just ignore all event's content with no harm done whatsoever. Other people appreciate these events, like myself. 4 hours ago, Wilson_pl said: it coming soon,I know when not to play... Hmm. Exaggerated statement. Oh, the boundless internet dramas..

Rellimarual Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I really liked the lanterns and would like to get them for my longstanding map that so far has encompassed both Hallowed Nights and Winter’s Feast. I would like it to be an all-holiday world. The game does not really need any significant additions to the overall survival/sandbox set-up it has now. There’s a LOT in DST. The holiday events are mostly just ... holidays: fun events with special decorations and treats. They don’t need to be anything more.

CaptainChaotica Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 First things first--I'm the realest not a "hardcore" player type at all, so I don't really care if things make the game harder or are "optimal", as long as they're fun. The Year of the Gobbler was some nice silly fun, and I like that it wasn't one of the super-expected western holidays (if you don't live in a big city with a thriving Chinatown, which I don't)--kinda mixed things up a bit there. Added some nice variety. Secondly, SPEAKING of said variety...there are _twelve_ animals in the Chinese zodiac. What, should we NOT explore all the fun and creativity we could get out of figuring out ways to make the other ones into a Don't Starve holiday? Dude! Is nobody but a few curious to see what they'd do for the others? That just sounds SO COOL! Be a shame to just do the same thing every year. After all, the holiday is _Chinese New Year_...NOT specifically Year of the Gobbler (Rooster). Think how neat it'd be to have a Don't Starve collectible skin from your OWN zodiac animal, too. I'm a Tiger; should be fun when they get to that--'cos no matter what, it'll be kitty-themed. (I liked the idea somebody said once about a tigerSHARK, but obviously no. Still, that'd be funny.) Mind you, I don't actually believe in any of this, but it's fun to look up and find out. To those of you whose sign IS the Rooster or the Dog, congrats! And yes, I'd be saying this even if I _hadn't_ been around for: ...I mean, I'LL probably never have the bottomless or stonehenge firepit skins myself, so...(almost) everybody missin' somethin', is what I'm getting at.

CaptainChaotica Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I have regular DS Reign of Giants, but I wasn't around for when RoG was added to Together. Or any part of the beta, really. I think I came in right when it first went OUT of beta. So, yeah. But hey. I did eventually get the tragic torch when I wasn't eligible for _that_ to begin with, so anything's possible. Maybe some of the previous Chinese New Year's stuff can be available to buy or weave during later New Year events? That might work. (shrug) And I don't see any reason why the red lanterns (RAAAAGGEEEE!! wait, not that kind of red lantern) couldn't be available during the Year of the Anything, since they're not specifically about a certain animal. So there's that. They could also bring back the same event clothing, since again, that's just Chinese New Yeary in general.

tHe_silent_H Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Back on topic: i would like to see different coloured hounds for the event(only active during the event), purple hounds that reduce sanity upon death in the area, Green hounds that deconstruct things in an area upon death(including man-made turf), orange hounds that teleports stuff(inc boulder,s bushes etc) around it in an area around it a short distance away, randomly scattered. and yellow ones that blind(turn your screen white, like a flashbang) when they die if you're too close. all have a chance to drop their respective gem colour. as a bonus maybe an iridescent version, no idea what it would do.

CaptainChaotica Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 To answer the last thing somebody said about getting the "stonehenge" (yes I know it's actually called monument) firepit...THAT might be my problem: That I didn't buy the megapack. I got the singleplayer first during a summer sale, and then the Together version months later. You know how sometimes I'll say "Well, I started off in singleplayer, so I still play like that" yada yada? That's why. Actually...I think the megapack only even existed _after_ I got my games. ANYway. Back on topic--some of these are interesting ideas, the problem is...still, none of them really sound like a HOLIDAY. That is...they don't sound fun. They sound like terror, destruction, anger (from your base being destroyed) and death. Mind you, the Year of the Gobbler stuff had its dangers too (if, for example, you were an idiot like me and Lucky Fanned YOURSELF) but...this still isn't answering the main question: How the hell do we make a dangerous/annoying thing in the game that regularly kills the unready...into something _fun_? Something festive. ...the only thing I've come up with so far is like, maybe dog-shaped animal crackers that drop when you kill them sometimes...I dunno. We could always bring back the fireworks from last time. Blowing things up is always fun.
