Playing on Xbox I’ve witnessed multiple player playstyles (even had a dude who waited till winter started then burned the base down all because HE couldn’t survive Winter and THOUGHT we wouldn’t either, but when I hammered down all his destroyed structures (which gives back half the resources used in creating them) and REBUILT everything he destroyed while he was a dead ghost floating around trying to cause as much havoc as he could, this player was absolutely Astonished when not only did we Survive Winter but I pretty much single handedly carried the entire server (refusing to revive him of course because yeah he was a jerk.)īut: One trend I’ve noticed in Xbox players is that most of them have learned how to toy around with that lovely menu of things you can toggle on and off- I’ve joined worlds that were Autumn only with 24/7 day cycle, worlds with hound waves disabled or Deerclops not allowed to spawn- Klei have given these people tools to custom tailor how much suffering they feel like enduring and. However what no sweat mode DOES do is disable some of the stressful annoying things about the game so players can learn things at their own pace without the fear of freezing to death, overheating, dying to insanity creatures or even starving on empty belly.Īlmost ALL of the above can be toggled on/off when you host your world- so if you don’t like the game on its default settings- Maybe start messing with these menus to host your own world as easy or as hard as you want it? that would effectively RUIN what the franchise was- and friendly reminder. not even NO SWEAT MODE on the Mobile version holds the players hand telling them exactly what to do step by step. because it was My fault for not lowering how many spawn when playing alone: So getting Stun locked on the boat unable to kill them was my own fault.ĭoes the game need step by step tutorials? Heck no. You consider turning off frog rain cheating, I consider having so many cookie cutters jump aboard my boat while playing Solo to be highly unbalanced and a one way trip to a watery grave just because I dared to toggle more of them then default.Īm I going to complain to Klei that these boat killing monstrosities are too hard and need to be removed? No I’m not. at the exact same time- You can turn off Butterflies but apply MORE Flowers, you can Toggle More Cookie Cutters (bad Idea I highly advise against it if playing Solo) and RockJaw sharks the game like it or not… is becoming both easier and harder simultaneously at the same time.

Thats how the game is becoming EASIER Ahem but. It doesn’t just stop there, you can also get items from joining mid winter to help you survive, I was Astonished at exactly how many Rabbit Earmuffs were just laying around because people started with them. and now it’s freely being given for joining a world in progress a few days. This to me is an Insult to what DS originally was, there were times I would die in Solo DS BECAUSE I couldn’t find twigs, grass or flint in time. and it’s just ENOUGH to build a Axe to chop wood with and get started.

Yeah well the problem is DST is ALREADY starting to hold the players hand: I joined a random server on day 16 of that world and I was astonished to discover I already had sticks, grass and flint in my inventory upon joining this server- at first I was like “wait did I join a server ive been in before by accident?” Turns out- No the game literally just gives you free stuff now. Thats what DS and DST IS/WAS to me and it’s a beautiful thing: Not relying on Wikipedia pages to learn “one more new thing” each time you play. This would indirectly teach anyone who plays as Wicker how to create Shadow Chester- It encourages the player to LEARN new things through the characters they can play as, their inspection quotes when observing things in the world, their abilities, their perks & their weaknesses.

Maybe they can change her examination quote for Chester to something like “Fascinating, this creature seems to be influenced by Nightmare Fuel I wonder if I stuck a whole stack of Nightmare Fuel in.” Wickerbottom hasn’t been reworked yet so let’s use her as an example to teach players something new WITHOUT A WIKIPEDIA However there are SOME more completely obscure features about this game that DEFIANTLY require looking up on the forums or Wiki to figure out & it SHOULDN’T be this way. duhh maybe I need light or something kills me when the screen goes completely black.

the character quotes explain this pretty effectively themselves- Its too dark I can’t see! What was that noise?! *player so and so died to Darkness* God please no… do not give the players tutorials or on screen advice (dark is coming build a campfire or craft a torch) that would just be hand holding in the finest definition of hand holding.
