How i think wormwood should work

[Druid]

the concept is interesting but this should be a over time regeneration of health instead of a heal while granting a 15% damage boost would be nice. also should i mention most green plants are full of water and are really hard to light i mean burning should be slightly shorter than other characters be cause he is a green plant and not dead most fire wood is dried or takes a long time to catch fire cause it is live and green like do environment stuff with him like fall he wilts a little making him have a harder time healing and winter he has frozen moisture giving him more armor spring he gains fertilization just by it being rainy and summer he dries out and burns longer
also temperature should not affect him if it is cold but fire burn him plants do take damage from not drinking but still try and work on wormwood before he is launched i know you like to make this game slightly scientifically accurate but you rushed to make him and will disappoint others if he launches this bad

[Druid]

i meant in the beginning fertilizing

The lack of spacing, and capitalization makes this really difficult to read.

Anyways, i'm not sure adding more perks to one of the more complex characters in the game would help make him more fun. Maybe buffing the things he can craft now would make him more viable to some people.

Also, what makes you think they rushed Wormwood?

[lexilogo]

"Rushed" is about the last term I'd use to describe Wormwood, his blooming mechanic alone is a great demonstrator of how much work Klei actually put into him. Compare all that to a character like WX-78. (who I love, for the record)

I think he'll probably be at least somewhat popular due to him being able to craft Living Logs on its own, that mechanic's a complete gamechanger. Completely negating the resource investment of Farms is also pretty crazy, even the most staunch anti-Farm players would have to admit that just being able to plant seeds without any additional resources required makes that very much worth it.

Most of this thread is just appealing to bizarre mechanics seemingly for the sake of "scientific accuracy" but Don't Starve doesn't follow absolutely everything to a T in that sense. Wilson doesn't become more vunerable to fire by growing his beard out for example.

I see him as a crappy character....until you have an spider farm and birdcage, that changes everything, spider gland enables Wormwood shenarigans, birdcage for infinite seeds and massive dragon fruit farm.
The armor provides a great reason to use both armor and helmet, which is usually not ideal until 1 of them is about to break.
Also, more iceboxes if Wickerbottom and/or Webber is around, the farming potential is real.

i was really thinking of wormwood gowing well with woodie as woodie can go beaver while wormwood also goes insane by seeing trees die
(wormwood protects the beaver , beaver keeps gnawing then plants saplings for sanity,)
and ofcourse webber for spider gland and monster meat, as he loses no health from that
ofcourse wicker for farming potential and then you got a decent 4 man team

agree with the butterstuffed
wall of text & formatting are painfully to read

on the topic: no matter how they will rework wormwood he will still stay the worst character on the entire DS rooster to port forward into DST.

keep your fingers away from that char, if you enjoy playing with friends & relaxed coop stuff :p
wormwoods is like a worse version of webber in the sense he makes only solo sense, & at the same time makes 0 sense solo too.

Wormwoods is so badly designed it makes you cry, if you think about his void ability in BOTH solo & coop environments ;_;
Big wasted opportunity on kleis part. And big waste to block 1 new DLC char slot for one of the worst design / concepts

Yeah, yeah, absolutely the worst character, can't do anything, redundant design, yadda-yadda, you can't say anything new, ever.

If you love complaining about him so much, just go to Klei forums and complain about him there. You will have more room for complaints and more people will hear you this way, everyone wins!

redhead just really wants wilsons distant uncle warbucks back
back to the topic: it's a bit hard to read @op id reccomend some spacing between sentences
sincerly a guy with also not the best spelling or formatting

klei would make that during the spring wormwood growth flowers behind him when he move and other players could pick up those flowers to gain sanity :D

[Inferjus]

Wormwood is cooler Wes. Change my mind.

I can't because it's true

[Druid]

i mean by rushed he feels a little out of place with the difficulty to others

I was under the impression that the DLC characters are intentionally more difficult since they are DLC characters and the people most likely to buy and play both Wortox and Wormwood already know how to play the game.

I like the idea of his blooming affecting game play more.
The petal farming from this would actually be useful(despite the sanity loss) since it would let him get a pretty parasol really quick and easy for sanity cost in spring, it would be easy for people to plummet your sanity though(which isn't cool).

It could also be neat if he gave off a sanity aura to others while bloomed(he is very nice looking, but can't see himself).

I find WormWood's mechanics to partner with specific characters fine. Wortox cause Wortox can just heal people with souls. Give Wortox a bramble husk and send him into a pit of bees. Plenty of souls for healing and stingers and honey to do things with. The bramble traps for large spider farming. Swimming in living logs and stuff.

WickerBottom is obvious cause of just planting seeds in the ground. I mean no resource farms you can endlessly expand with a caged bird.

The fact that wormwood makes mushroom farms so easy is also nice
