I'm glad that you announced Hamlet even if it's not quite ready yet. I'd rather know that content is coming than think nothing is coming at all for a game that I enjoy. : )

Are you suggesting that the game didn't have tons of viable armors prior to this update?

I would have assumed that this is because it's raining, and Klei doesn't want you to get dry while it is raining. ...which is how it works in real life. Standing next to a fire is not going to dry your clothes while it is still raining.

Okee, and it can apparently be set to the host's liking as well, so that's nice. Thanks for the heads up. : )

Excellent changes to the vote kick system. Just out of curiosity, what is the default time period that a vote-kicked player needs to wait before they can rejoin a server?

The reason that they stated (and I happen to agree w/) is that the Summer / Winter traps are a lot more punishing in a multiplayer environment where new players (or griefers, but mostly new players) might ruin whole servers by happening upon these traps while unaware of the calamity they are capable of. In a single player game, you can trigger it and learn from your mistake; it's part of the learning curve. In DST, you may have no idea what happened; it was autumn and easy preparations were being made, but now it's suddenly 100 degrees and everything is on FIRE. That is why it was changed. Not because of griefers. At least, not this time...

Oh sweet, so I can also pass the wee night hours rolling dice w/ my friends w/out having to do the controller / keyboard swap. Very nice! Again, it wasn't a big deal or anything, but I appreciate the little things like this. Thanks. : )

I'm going to go ahead and assume that there isn't a way to access the new dice rolling or /emote functions playing w/ a controller. : P Not a big deal; not like I don't already use a keyboard to talk to people in game.

Does this not happen for worlds w/ Caves? I had no idea; I thought this was always the case.

Is there? The first mention of Charlie doesn't really show up until the 6th puzzle (directly after the ad for an assistant for "Maxwell the Great" in the 5th puzzle). In the 6th puzzle, she is already calling him Maxy and never refers to him as anything else. So it seems to me that if she loved him, it was most likely the Maxwell persona that she fell in love w/. : P Edit: Ah, I found the picture you were talking about. In the 5th puzzle, he still signs his contact info as "William Carter"; I wonder if that picture was taken shortly after they met, but before he had transitioned fully into his Maxwell persona. He was very clearly already becoming Maxwell before she ever answered the ad, though.

I was under the impression that Charlie didn't even KNOW Maxwell when he was still going by William Carter. She met him when she answered an ad for an assistant to Maxwell the Great. She calls him Maxy, also.

It would be "any more", just for the record. /nod

I'm pretty sure he's allowed to express his opinion, even if it's not a positive one. Or hers, I don't know.

I hadn't even thought of that. : O Or the boy could just be so used to the dismal, hopelessness of being trapped inside a spider that he doesn't mind living the survivor life. The spider could want to go home to its den, as they are wont to do.

I feel like this should be "We want to go home."

This koalefant has clearly had enough of your ****. /nod

I think you're right that they don't want to tie skins to achievements or similar pinnacles.

So I learned that there are no yellow shoes or boots in the game, and SO MANY yellow outfits. This should be rectified. I need boots to match my golden armor and gloves!

Yeah, you can trade them the old way, or buy / sell them on the marketplace now. The marketplace prices are a li'l crazy as it just came out. Crazy good if you are into buying. Seems the supply is currently higher than the demand. Who'da thunk?

...for? : o

I have noticed that there are a lot of people buying up the lower tier items at cheap cheap prices and then trading them up at the Trade Inn, which also serves to remove these lower tier items from the economy. That is precisely the function that the Trade Inn is supposed to serve. I honestly don't believe that Klei had ever WANTED for these items to be sold for more than their game even costs, but I may be wrong about that. It's not really my place to speak for them, of course. But they ARE the ones that give us these items for absolutely free. : ) I can see the concern that most of the items of different tiers may end up falling to around the same prices, but I kinda feel that for the community as a whole, that becomes a win in the long run. The pseudo-cult of skin traders are probably going to be upset that the marketplace is putting them entirely out of business if their aim was to make huge profits selling free items to other players, though. ...but I also view that as a win.

The word you're looking for is actually "deflation". ; ) And I assume, and mentioned earlier in this long thread, that this is exactly why it was important to release the Trade Inn and marketability at the same time, so that those lower tier items can simply be traded upward w/ the chance of getting better skins. Is the complaint now that these items aren't worth $50-60? I see that as a good thing. I thought the point was to play the game and not obsess over exorbitantly priced skins that only the wealthy could afford. Also, the market's also being flooded right now by people who have literally HUNDREDS of skins as well as those who find the marketplace much easier to deal w/ than trying to hock their wares through an obtuse trading forum and deal w/ scams and scammers. Still, what is the problem w/ people actually being able to afford the skins they've always wanted?

Also: The $100 robes that nobody in their right mind get a lot of attention, but somehow this never gets mentioned. /shrug

You'll notice nobody actually bought any of those 100 dollar silk robes, so.... The sky's always falling somewhere, right?
