The Forge would have been the perfect opportunity to make Wortox an unlockable character


Recommended Posts

I don't know if it's just me, but beating The Forge felt so anti-climatic. Imagine if you had won, and it unlocked Wortox. Only players who have beaten the event could play him, making him a rare character. 

Just a thought I had. Maybe something to consider for future events. Have a real reward, because skins mean literally nothing to some people, including myself.

i dont think locking a character behind a limited event is a good idea

The thing is...Wortox is such an odd character. You don't really want servers to be filled with him, because he doesn't really fit with the rest of the characters. That's why I like the idea of him being a rare character.

Or, on a slightly different tune, having X number of players beat the forge globally unlocked the character for all.

It'd give some sense of community while having a goal at the same time.

 

But the best part about it is that there's incentive to play with new people who have no idea what they're doing to encourage them to win.  Instead of what we had where new people were basically unwanted in most high-leveled rooms.

Don't get me wrong, I have the feeling that Klei preserves Wortox and the other unused characters for an DS DLC. I'll not surprised if one of them will be unlockable in Hamlet.

That would actually kinda make sense,a ittle dlc after what seems to be these "stats themed events" (Im going with the thing that the Forge is HP,Gorge hunger,and the next one sanity),it would be pretty fun to play as those ppls,maybe a modder could make one as a character i guess

Potentially, but Wortox just seemed to fit perfectly with the Forge setting.

Also, I think we are in desperate need of GOOD new DST charactes.

Or/and a serious Winona rework

I dunno. Apart from "fire" I don't see how Wortox fits. Most of the inhabitants are boars or animals with a huge emphasis on battle. Wortox is like, the embodiment of a typical demon.

Wortox, Winnie, Waverly, Wallace, and Wilton need to be in the future but maybe for a horror/halloween themed dlc?

I don't get the likes...

The Forge setting is this game's version of hell, so... I can't think of a more perfect setting for a demon. I mean Pugna is pretty much a demon himself.

I don't know man, I just want new characters and make these event things more interesting by having them have an actual input into the real game :/

I don’t think an entire character should be locked behind an event, but maybe a cosmetic reskin, like you get a reskin of the Grand Forge Boarrior as a football helmet/Bee Queen Crown once you kill him once.

Isn’t the whole constant “hell”?  The survivors keep dying over and over again, and yet they’re reincarnated I to a new world. The forge just looks like a gladiatorial dimension.

That would be very cool. The only reason I would like it to be locked, is because:

a) I want that challenge of unlocking characters again, like DS (but I know it's a limited time thing, so it's not quite the same.

b) I feel like one of the reasons Wortox hasn't been added, is because he doesn't quite blend well with the rest of the characters. But if he was a rare character, that only a few players had, it would stop servers from being filled with him.

The Forge is a more typical inferno look, but fair enough.

Just because the Forge is a world with a lot of lava doesn't necessarily mean it's hell.

Maybe a permanent atack boost and more HP? I mean,i know we already got Wolfgang for that,but besides that maybe it can be constant and he can craft some fiery weapons?

That doesn't make any sense. If anything, that'll make him feel more out of place because the people who actually have him unlocked will play him often to show off.

I don't think Wortox or Waverly are ever going to get in, considering how lore-heavy the game is, how would they fit?  Besides, Maxwell's Halloween skin is very close to Wortox in design.

Magic exists in this world. A better question would be how do demons and witches not fit? 

Most characters don't have much of a backstory anyway, so Klei could throw in just about anything and it wouldn't effect the lore very much. With all the world hopping going on in the story right now, any out of place character could be explained away with "They came from a different world".

The game even already has demons, Krampus and Klaus. Who Wortox actually shares a lot of design choices with.

...I don't think people are that petty.

Maybe I'm wrong though.

Also, this can be fixed with one quote.

Also, this doesn't make any sense. You could have said that the game already has a Krampus, and therefore Klaus shouldn't be in the game. Also, the lore isn't that fixed, you can bend it to be whatever you want it to be (Why do the Volt goats look like the Goat Men from the Gorge for example)

Also, if you look at demons in literature, there's thousands of different types of demons. It would make sense that Wortox is just another type. And with the Forge, you can just say he's from another dimension.

The design choices were made after Krampus existed, so clearly, the devs. had some sort of lore and backstory in mind.

The reason I'd say most people wouldn't agree with this idea is because it's essentially locking behind a potentially advantageous character out from the rest of the community. It'd be like only a quarter of the players in Team Fortress 2  having the ability to go spy. It's fun, yes, but there's clearly a big problem. I'm not saying having to unlock characters would be a bad idea, @CarlZalph's idea sounds great even, it's just that this sort of thing should probably be reserved for something not locked behind a time limit for individuals. 

In all actuality, I'd say the actual reward for the events is the event themselves. Klei could of just release just a bunch of skin packs for a limited time, but instead we're given something new and exciting to go through. 

Also, the idea that because he doesn't really belong with the rest of the cast he shouldn't be common throughout servers kinda takes away from making him a character at all. It's kind of like making a workshop character official. I'm not saying the idea of implementing Wortox is like adding one of the many anime characters alongside the main cast, he WAS made by Klei after all, it's just through this sort of logic, it could be.

Exactly. It’s kind of like saying “Thanks for the present! Now what reward do I get for opening it?” Although to judge by some of the players I’ve met on public servers, there could be a lot of people whose parents raised them to expect that.
