Things you would like to see in East of Loathing, if it ends up being a thing

[Murderkarp]

Been playing Kingdom of Loathing on and off for several years, and I loved West of Loathing, so, I decided why the hell not? The Far East is already an established location in the World of Loathing. So, if it were a real thing, what would you like to see? Do you have ideas you'd like to share? I'm going to start off with some class ideas that I came up with while playing West of Loathing.

First off is the muscle class. Most of the muscle classes in Loathing are demon-fighter like classes, whose profession would be frowned upon in the real world. Seal Clubbers have, obviously, seal clubbing, and Cow Punchers have, well, it feels to me, cow tipping. The Far East muscle class would then have Whale Fishers. Spear-wielding warriors of the tumultuous sea who hunt down the demonic whales threatening honor and peace. Also dolphins. Because they are jerks.

Next is the mysticality class. In Italian cuisine, pasta is a staple food, as far as I know, and in the old west, beans were a staple food. So, in the Far East, that would be rice. Enter the Riceseer, who shape and season many grains of rice into mystical forms and spells. I suppose their flavor could be based around shrine priests of Shintoism, Taoism, or Buddhism.

And lastly, the moxie class. What would be more moxious than ninjas? Ninjas whose secret ninja art is combining different boozes into various ninjutsu effects and explosives. Enter the Sake Bomber. I really... have little else to say about them. They are ninjas who use explosive sake ninjutsu.

The "Mermaid Maiden of the East" gets Fishnap'd by a giant land squid named Squiggles with 11 eleventacles. You have to travel past, present, and future to assemble the "Crazy Emote Band" to learn the secret combet roles of the:

-Guitar shreding whale smasher. (Giant axe/hammer guitars).
-Bassdrum droppin' Fishstick chuckin' Coral thrashin' drummer (Boomer for short).
-Crazy Emote Screamer. (srsly, she just screams emotes at people).
-Otter Tambouriner. (Summoner class with jingling otter pets).

Also, you have to salt your meat. No one wants unsalted meat that is rotten by the time you get it back to town.

Hippies are a rare bread, nearly wipped out by land sharks. Those guys will eat anything.

Traveling Clown Fish circus.

The only way to truely finish off the Squiggler is to aquire the mystical soup-spoon of truths. Prophecy says it buried under a giant rock somewhere. Probably.
(Plot twist, you realize there is no spoon and instead fashion the shrimp-fork of truths. Yeah, that should probably still work.)

Honestly, leave out the whales. Dolphin Fishers hunt Dolphins not because they're evil demonic hellspawn, but because they're just such massive ♥♥♥♥♥. That part is already cannon anyway.

I'd kind of like six classes again if we're going to Parts East. Also there's got to be an endless tournament storyline.

More loathing stories, The icy wastes of the north, I don't care just take my money.

[Dr_Baadt_Grrl]

I gotta say, though, I do hope they resist casual racism and "oriental mysticality." It's going to be hard to maintain their snarky and silly sense of humor without falling into old stereotypes.

To be quiet honest, West of Loathing didn't really capture my heart, it just made me go back and play KoL again. Same with Word Realms. I like seeing new ventures from Asymmetric, and I ususally end up buying them, but my heart does and always will belong to KoL, so I'd rather they just focus on keeping that alive. I also don't see them going for an asian-themed game for several reasons. Main reason as I see it, their fanbase tends to reacts badly to any kind of joke that involves something anyone could find insensitive, meaning they basically have to keep far away from cultures that aren't dead.

East of Loathing better be the Distant Lands. I want to know what happened to the Travelling Trader.

It's a KoL thing.

Some way to leverage my vast KoL riches into in-game power, preferably linked to steam achievements.
