Szczuku Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 -Forced Boss -New Treeguard -Hunting animals -New Totally Normal Tree -New way of getting food (farms, creature hauses) -Bees. I understand that we can buy both honey ham and healing thingy but... still. I was kinda expecting some feral large bees Some things that I'm surprised aren't easy to get/present in Hamlet -Making sewing kit. No hounds, low silk production. Kinda weird since you basically need hats for 2 seasons -Boat repair kit. Nowhere to "bee" found Also I feel like Hamlet's lacking some end game. I mean it seems like we can do everything in under 30 days if someone's good enough. Hamlet's end game (at least in beta) was getting city key and building town where you want.

metallichydra Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 new way of getting food: the food shop. and we could make flytrap farm, but its probably inefficient if used as food source. its kinda weird we cant make boat repair kits, because stingers is available in hamlet. the bees seem to be replaced with mants.

But some of them missing makes sense, we have nectar and honey chests. Creature houses: We can already build a lot of shops and houses. I agree with the food source part. There are no natural berry bushes or any plant to give food, no fishing, no natural source of eggs,no milk. Very little sources of meat. Agree with boat repair and sewing part. I also find the lake biome very lacking. The end game content/challenge will most likely be the aporkalypse season. With the occasional nuisance of roc.

Get a tooth from the balloon wreckage, and then get the second from the second plateau shop. I got one within a year so I didn't need to recraft my hats for the next (granted the gas mask is pretty worthless now imo). As far as silk, you can get a bunch at once. You just can't chop every tree down before Lush season. There's not an overabundance of the stuff like in other DLCs but there's definitely enough to do what you need before the time to plant more trees comes again.

Duxe Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 3 hours ago, ansuman said: no fishing Apparently this is not true. I read on here post the beta closing that you can indeed fish. You use a fishing rod on the lily pads according to a post. I would have never guessed this and can't confirm since I obviously never thought of it during the beta. 1 hour ago, Zeklo said: Get a tooth from the balloon wreckage... Am I missing something here? I don't think I ever obtained a tooth from the wreckage. Which piece drops the tooth? And as far as end game, I agree with that there isn't much of it. Hamlet does add items that are HUGE QoL improvements to the other worlds, but in terms of staying in the Hamlet world, there isn't something like the ruins in RoG to tackle. I personally hope that there will be much harder temple rooms with more dangerous traps and much better rewards. I have hope with the new secret doors being added that this may be the case. And as long as you can reset the ruins somehow, I'd be happy with a treasure hunting end game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingDedede Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 But isn't the point of this DLC to provide a fresh, new experience that differs from its predecessors? While surviving out in the wilds may not be so feasible in Hamlet as it is in SW and RoG (Though it can be done, I'm sure), I absolutely love the focus that it brings on to the small pig towns as well as the ways that you can interact with them. However, we as the players were not playing the full experience, so only time will tell as to how the final product will be. Hopefully, if it expands on the focus of the towns themselves, optimizing the DLC for lower-end computers, along with the actions that we can do, I'm going to be one happy camper.

Szczuku Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 The problem I personally have with Hamlet is that basically everything can be bought from pigs. This ruins the experience as in past dlcs you knew that if you want to have this cool item you'll have to do something dangerous. In Hamlet you simply have to get 14 berries and sell them to grandpa pig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ansuman Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I am all up for pig town trading as a core mechanics to progress through the game. I also like the resource scarcity part. But I don't like it when many things are outright missing and you can only trade to get it, the loot drop rate can be adjusted to a lower value as they had done with the spider monkey. I am pretty sure sewing kit & boat kit were not available in recipes to craft in the Early Access. If you wanna compare the DLC with the previous (Source: Wikia): Spoiler 1.
