Have you tried looking up a guide

>>16383508

I usually don't like to use guides, preferring instead to just have at it, but other people say that deerclops is apparently "rare" despite him showing up the first two nights of every winter of the first year (so second season). I've devised a few ways of fighting him, but even kiting him into a few 10-20 beefalo camps and penguins and tentacles, he always turns tail and runs back to my base and levels it.

I think its a bitch move to turn him off like I can in server settings, but it just feels WAY overtuned. AFAIK it feels like this guy is designed as a base clearer but to consistently get him second night feels too unforgiving.

>This has happened 10 server resets in a row.

Maybe try killing it?

>I have plenty of roguelike experience

Having experience with roguelikes doesn't make you good, being able to tolerate roguelikes doesn't make you good. Sure, it indicates that you could tolerate some garbage game design, but that's about it.

>I stopped playing it and I can't believe how bullshit this game has become.

Don't starve was always bullshit both before and after the expansions.

Before: after enough time played you'll either get swarmed by way too many hounds, that would also potentially burn your shit if you missmanage defending it, or you'll die of boredom kiting forever increasing packs. Defending with traps and fortifications would ultimately drain your entire map of resources, but other than that freemode was ultimately pointless, the moment you get a steady supply of honey and monster meat.

After: summer heat and other various bullshit weather conditions, bosses that take forever to kill with extremely irritating methodic combat, etc, however the endgame has expanded to the point where it would take several seasons and many cave expeditions to "complete".

Adventure: outside of RNG, it boiled down to finding the most safe world, where you could farm equipment that ultimately would let you rush through all the other worlds, because some of them are either plain uninhabitable, or are management traps, that would force you into unprofitable routines that would take all of your time from progressing through the world and would either take forever to progress through or forever to eventually run out of resources and game over.

Basically I don't understand your complaint, from that point of view DS was always trash, meaning that you either are/was bad or retarded.

been wondering what a dont starve clone/successor would be like, and what it'd fix

>>16383840

wot

>>16383869

They've been removing shit from the game because it offended some snowflakes. They also promised to develop in that direction from now on.

I'm sure /leftypol/ could share some expertise if they ever experienced any fucking hardship

>>16384002

What did they remove?

I dropped the game after they TF2ized it. They added a fucking ton of cosmetics and trading, the community obsessed over them, it ruined the aesthetic and even seemed confusing at times as you couldn't tell what was a skin and what was a different item. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a cash shop now.

you mean don't get tempted to buy the latest lootboxes, together?

no thanks

how has the game changed since the first dont starve? it didnt really hook me. and can i play dont starve together alone?

>>16384905

DST has centralized servers for the monetization, of course it wouldn't have a DRM free version.

>>16384913

If I remember right a lot of shit in the game is rebalanced around there being 4 characters so it may be more difficult.

>>16386145

I don't really. Maybe you can find mods that insert DS:T content into DS:S

>Hounds

All the resources needed to defend against hounds are renewable. Just make a cluster of tooth traps and kite the hounds through them until dead. It really doesnt take long, and youll always have more teeth than you actually need. You CAN make a more elaborate trap with walls but it would be more time consuming and depending on how you build it, they might get stuck and attack the walls from time to time. Another easy way would be building your base near a swamp and kiting them near tentacles.

>survival mode is pointless

Other than to prepare you for adventure yeah, I really wish they made a mode where it gets increasingly difficult. The hounds do but stop increasing after a pretty moderate size/frequency, and there should be more ways that it increases.

>All the resources needed to defend against hounds are renewable

Stone nodes are renewable?

>The hounds do but stop increasing after a pretty moderate size/frequency

They do? Didn't know, even though it looks like I've reached the peak when I've been playing.

>Ultimately we felt Warbucks was both culturally problematic and not also very interesting to play so we decided to start over. We understand some people may like aspects of him, and perhaps we will bring some of those aspects back one day. In the meantime, we've decided to move on.

Jesus I had no idea.

>>16383359

Op, there are a variety of ways you can handle desrclops. First of all, he spawns every winter around day 32 or so. He is not rare, he is scripted. Also, about your base - it is always the first thing he agro's. You need to hit him as soon as you see him, or he will fuck up your base.

After this, your best bet it to get him the fuck away from your base. If you have a mandake, make it into a pan flute to put him to sleep. If not, run to the nearest heard of beefalo and have them fight him. If you want to get near him, you'll need to lay down a fire and bring plenty of items to up your sanity.

>>16387082

Fucking lel. Maybe I should dust the old pith helmet off and go march into their office or something.

>>16389058

Yeah they've being very culturally-insensitive to the French.

>>16389090

It's just bitching about muh zulu wars and muh india, cause now britain needs to pay reparashuns.

>>16390066

Ironically, she's the most useless character in the game, besides the intentionally useless mime who's meant to be a challenge.

I play it with some of my friends when we dont have a game we want to play.

I never played it before winter 2018. I didnt know that the deer guy was not supposed to show up every winter. He has killed every single server we have started. I thought it was just something you had to move to beat and we were not good enough.

>>16390066

oh yeah sure jealous of being able to be gangraped, beaten, forced to carry a parasite for 9 months, and being physically weaker than everything else around me. suuuuuurrreeee jealous of that
