This video’s pacing turned out much different than the Wortox boss rush so I want some feedback on that. Also, I recommend trying 15 health Maxwell for yourself. As I say in the video, it’s surprisingly fun. The link for the mod is in the description.
As far as pacing goes, I personally would prefer more attention to showing/explaining the boss fights. Even if the fights are repetitive, I think this kind of gameplay is fresh to most viewers so it'd be better to show the entire fight (along with using mods like Epic Health Bar to indicate how much damage is being done) even if it means speeding up the footage if you feel like the fight took too long. Obviously it's a great video as is, but since no one has provided feedback on the pacing yet I thought I'd (hopefully) start the conversation by giving my take.

“A recent video has brought to our attention the balance issues with a certain character. Due to this, we will be changing Maxwell’s max health from 75 to 1.”
@@eberferatu2324 it doesn't make any sense for his character though, they'd have reason to look elsewhere for a downside. It also doesn't take into account the difference between pro and normal players. For any casual player or anyone who just isn't really good at teh game, having half the normal health is a problem, and there are characters who gain extra health in this game, like Wolfgang. For a pro player the health addition may be irrelevant, if a mere 15 health is enough, why need 300? Why need wx-78's health boost either? Normal players gain greatly, though, myself included, as I am moderately good but not impervious to attack.
a few ideas: - will refuse to do all basic chores (picking bushes, chopping/mining/hammering/digging/paddling) - maxwell can give tools to his shadow puppets (eg. oar, hammer, pitchfork) - working (eg. hammer/paddle) is now replaced with “order”. this mechanic makes his shadow puppets act as a proxy for majority of his actions - maxwell can do basic chores but only via lazy items (eg. turf-raiser helm, shadow reaper)
TLDW; Eberferatu summoned minions, caged the bosses, and continued spamming those two abilities for most of the bosses. All for incredibly high cost of like 5 nightmare fuel per boss
I find it hilarious that Maxwell’s only downside of low health is negated entirely by using night armor, which he is conveniently immune to the only downside of
For drawing toad's aggro while duelists are alive, go behind the pond and /dance to recall the duelists and toad will just aggro onto you. once hes behind the pond you can just prison him there
4:30 in case anyone wonders, even tho the monkeys are already shadowed, using this spell on them is not pointless. Not only does it guarantees the fuel drop, but the original 50% chance dosen't go away. You get 3 times as much fuel.
Allow me to explain how the fight goes: Basically, first I summon minions. Then I cage the boss. Then I continue spamming those two abilities. The fight cost about 1 nightmare fuel.
You lose: half of your health. You gain: Free use of nightmare gear , lots of cheap powerfull minions , ability to destroy forests with a glance , and collect items from your berry , grass and twig farms quickly , free inventory space , ability to read wickerbottom books (making her a swap character for maxwell) , ability to cage bosses , making them not a threat for a few secconds , ability to kill all regular mobs for free , fightless source of nighmare fuel (the only resource you really need as maxwell) ,a sanity regeneration , almost on par with tam o' shanter and some belly rubs , for being a good maxwell-picking boy.(/girl) Ballanced i ' d say.

I think it defynes woody playstyle , letting you embrace the curse. Instead of denying it.
One of those moments where there is no downside if you are just that good in the game, but i think the problem is more with Beefalos than with his downside being "not enough"
Fair argument but there are multiple reasons outside of beefalo why low health doesn’t really matter 1. There’s night armor which Maxwell doesn’t lose sanity from 2. Maxwell can just stay back and let dualists do the work 3. 75 health is enough to survive several attacks from bosses, even with just a football helmet. For example dragonfly takes 5 hits to kill you in that situation 4. Healing is instant, you just need to take a moment to be back at full health
Very nice run! I'd like to add one point because I didn't hear it mentioned: shadow sneak doesn't just guarantee nightmare fuel drops, it adds nightmare fuel drops onto the existing table. This means shadow splumonkeys drop 1.5 nightmare fuel instead of 0.5.
Maxwell and Wendy is the power combo of the century, one deals with single targets and locks enemies in place, the other deals with swarms and makes you deal more damage the longer it takes to kill something
Yeah. I thought I wouldn’t have had enough red gems to use purely fire staffs but in hindsight I think I did. Also in hindsight I think not using the beefalo was better anyway because of the increased damage I could do.
I'm pretty excited for it honestly. As strong as he is now, he still has quite a few flaws and limitations his skill tree could address, specifically regarding planar enemies and bosses.
@MaximusChivus clearly you've never tried fighting planar bosses as maxwell. He only needs buffs against planar enemies specifically, not all enemies. I definitely don't think he really needs any nerfs, though. He's pretty well balanced as he is now outside of rift content, and changing any of his core abilities would probably mess him gameplay wise. The role he fills in the game is perfectly fine as it is now.
@@omarsongaming3255 he's absolutely not balanced lmao no he's cracked as shit, also i said this earlier but maxwell vs planar is very much fine. he's simultaneously the best gatherer, has the highest damage potential, prison breaks pretty much every boss, accesses all of another incredible character's perks freely, has 12 slots of inventory that can teleport items back and forth and on top of all this has no real downside. codex costs a fraction of a nf per use and bone helm completely removes any sanity that needs to be sunk into casting or reading. pretty much the only category he's not the best at is teleporting but only 2 chars have teleportation perks anyway. on the note of planar, he really suffers the least out of any pre-skill tree combat character. duelists (and grumble bees) do a lot of weaker hits as opposed to wolfgang doing a lot of damage per hit, so they suffer far less reduction per hit than he does. while the same goes for follower characters in general, the only followers that are both good at surviving and immediately replacable to use vs planar enemies are maxwell's shadows, since they only take up to15 to 30 damage max per hit, no matter the damage source.
Both of them survive even entire chomps or slap combos from rasp with two pieces of planar gear. Maxwell has no real reason to even come close to any planar mob as he can cage + duelist anyway
I am 2 months late to this, but I would like to draw your attention to the fact that Maxwell doesn't even have a skill tree yet. When he does, there will be blood... So much blood...
I love playing Maxwell but i have never killer Fuelwever. I hope to one day, Thank you for the video, it will help guide me in the right direction. When Maxwell gets a Skill tree what would you like him to have, maybe some plainer damage on his duelist?
Actually to fight klaus's deers you just need to freeze the fire one with 1 hit ice staff, then you can lock them both away from klaus and not to worry about his deer spells anymore, easier menthod
How do you feel about the dreadstone armor? together they're really durable with no penalty to sanity because Maxwell, AND gives a nice bonus to shadow damage.
This is true for pc but I honestly think casting characters will always be balanced on controller because you can’t do the finer stuff willow would be the best for console IMO but maxwell is definitely busted on pc especially with the no downside night armour removing the health penalty
It isn’t. The record is 37 days by Guille. His list of bosses was a bit different but it’s still absolutely insane and obliterated all other competition
@@thet6462 it’s currently unlisted and unedited. He’s going to make a proper video out of it but you can still find it on forums and discord. Anyway, here’s the link ua-cam.com/video/gBiMnSpuQNc/v-deo.htmlsi=k9bAD6cOt0RLW6jG Edit: actually it isn’t unlisted, just on his second channel
Interestingly enough , i'd say that this is the only unbalanced maxwell itteration in dont starve history. His pre-rework state sucked for combat. Which makes total sence. In most situations he was just willson with 75 health. I remember respecting any and every maxwell who would do mostly combat. Duelists , debqtably , lacked any use. Sometimes they were fina , but not always. And in solo i see him as somewhat of a snowball character, but with a crutch. His insane sanity regeneration at the start of the world playing against you , because , as maxwell , you want as much nightmare fuel as possible. And his night armor and sword are less of a sweet litle bonus , as they are an esential part of his kit. He can maintain insanity only throu their use , and throu eating anti-sanity food, which , playing as maxwell , i discovered to be a way smaller group than it seemed as any other character. Basicaly just green mushrooms , and cooked moster meat if you got healing. His need for nightmare fuel , and insane sanity regen flips the game on its head. Now if you are not smart with your starting kit , you may find yourself in a situation , where getting more nightmare fuel is a painfull chore , and you ll have to wither painfully grind to get your initial sanity-lowering suply , or will have to visit ruinst just to run around from nightmares. But if you are smart , and manage to rush magic , and use nighmare fuel for a nighmare light , you just increased your farrming rate. And then you shall spare your sword and armor until you are sure that you could make another one ,because they are your best friends in fuel farming. Its actually quite fun to rise to power , and then to use shadow armor and a football helmet to become a tank in your shadow party , and to start feeling confident with minions , and being able to spare some nightmare fuel and health. Also health cost really adds up to the ealygame cost of minions. You can just basicly kill yourself if you aint carefull, redusing your overall low health even lower. Solo maxwell really flips the game on its head , and is hold back not only be a downside (mattering way more , because he needs to participate in fights , or feed his own health to monsters.), but also cost of one of his upsides(15 health per cast and n.f.) , and shier unforgiving power of the other.(harder to collect early game n.f.) Overall , he is a bit stronger than a character should be , but he is literaly the big great reward chqracter. He emight be a puppet master , but he still needs to get his hands dirty. Free nightmare fuel generation , cheap casts, and easy ways to get insane , might just be the biggest problems of moddern maxwell. Well aside from the whole "where we but a round block? Correct , in the square hole" aproach to the most bossdights, and generaly to most treats. If its not a boss , he would just cast shadow sneak instead of prison , because this one is op too... WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE GOT A STRONGER VERSION OF IT FOR WILLOW!?
There is nothing wrong with having maxwell at very high percs since he is originally unlocked upon beating adventure mode and that was part of the reward so later on attempting to adjust him to balance and fit with dst is a great job regardless being the case or not since again he was originally an awesome end game character reward
A point he makes often in the video is that its hilarious easy to negate his main downside and for a large portion of players it doesn’t take more than a couple of days to combat it, night armor, a beefalo, hell even an alchemy Engine and a football helmet and you Can be set for a while
Maxwell's only real problem right now is that while he's very powerful against pre-rift bosses and enemies, he's extremely weak against planar enemies and bosses to the point of being almost completely ineffective against them, which is made even worse by the fact that he doesn't benefit anything or made stronger whatsoever by any of the celestial champion/lunar rifts gear. Hopefully, his skill tree will address this soon.
@eberferatu2324 Sure, but the large amount of health planar bosses possess combined with planar entity protection and the fact that almost all planar enemies have devastating area of effect attacks results in your duelists dealing significantly less damage AND dying extremely quickly, causing fights against planar bosses to become highly time consuming and repetitive, which in turn makes them tedious and annoying. That's not exactly a fun gameplay experience. Planar entity protection literally cuts the damage of your duelists down by almost 50%.
1. each piece of void gear gives him tier 3 buffs for his duelists, so you can have 56 damage duelists while still holding a weapon that can do up to 88 damage per hit when ramped up, while also ignoring its sanity drains per usual maxwell style as for the defensive side of things, void gear maxwell can still survive two full rasp chomps or slap combos 2. nah, even when thrown against planar enemies the duelists + cage are super bullshit powerful and extremely cheap regardless

The new planar damage is deadly to Maxwell and Wanda. You should make a run fighting the newer bosses with planar attack.

Both of them survive even entire chomps or slap combos from rasp with two pieces of planar gear.

ok watching this vdeio made me realise maxwell looks alot like my uncle
0/10 no Bearger kill.
No no no but he has low max HP
5:50 what 'Atrium Bridge'? What are you talking about
It’s a piece of land in the ruins that seems to point towards the atrium. I’m standing on it at 5:57
Interestingly enough , i'd say that this is the only unbalanced maxwell itteration in dont starve history.
His pre-rework state sucked for combat. Which makes total sence.
In most situations he was just willson with 75 health.
I remember respecting any and every maxwell who would do mostly combat.
Duelists , debqtably , lacked any use.
Sometimes they were fina , but not always.
And in solo i see him as somewhat of a snowball character, but with a crutch.
His insane sanity regeneration at the start of the world playing against you , because , as maxwell , you want as much nightmare fuel as possible.
And his night armor and sword are less of a sweet litle bonus , as they are an esential part of his kit.
He can maintain insanity only throu their use , and throu eating anti-sanity food, which , playing as maxwell , i discovered to be a way smaller group than it seemed as any other character.
Basicaly just green mushrooms , and cooked moster meat if you got healing.
His need for nightmare fuel , and insane sanity regen flips the game on its head.
Now if you are not smart with your starting kit , you may find yourself in a situation , where getting more nightmare fuel is a painfull chore , and you ll have to wither painfully grind to get your initial sanity-lowering suply , or will have to visit ruinst just to run around from nightmares.
But if you are smart , and manage to rush magic , and use nighmare fuel for a nighmare light , you just increased your farrming rate.
And then you shall spare your sword and armor until you are sure that you could make another one ,because they are your best friends in fuel farming.
Its actually quite fun to rise to power , and then to use shadow armor and a football helmet to become a tank in your shadow party , and to start feeling confident with minions , and being able to spare some nightmare fuel and health.
Also health cost really adds up to the ealygame cost of minions.
You can just basicly kill yourself if you aint carefull, redusing your overall low health even lower.
Solo maxwell really flips the game on its head , and is hold back not only be a downside (mattering way more , because he needs to participate in fights , or feed his own health to monsters.), but also cost of one of his upsides(15 health per cast and n.f.) , and shier unforgiving power of the other.(harder to collect early game n.f.)
Overall , he is a bit stronger than a character should be , but he is literaly the big great reward chqracter.
He emight be a puppet master , but he still needs to get his hands dirty.
Free nightmare fuel generation , cheap casts, and easy ways to get insane , might just be the biggest problems of moddern maxwell.
Well aside from the whole "where we but a round block? Correct , in the square hole" aproach to the most bossdights, and generaly to most treats.
If its not a boss , he would just cast shadow sneak instead of prison , because this one is op too...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE GOT A STRONGER VERSION OF IT FOR WILLOW!?
Lookmaxwell
balanced i think
aight pack it up maxwell we know its you who made this video 😭😭🙏🙏
Hi, I’m Maxwell
Oh my god it's Maxwell
Can you use the health bar mod?
I’d rather not for a few reasons but if enough people want it then I’ll consider it
Do what you prefer bro
part two when
I so think I made some very avoidable mistakes (mostly in the form of bad routing which I didn’t show) so I might try this again some day
Why my beefalo can't go to cave with me?
Use a beefalo bell to your beefalo
There is nothing wrong with having maxwell at very high percs since he is originally unlocked upon beating adventure mode and that was part of the reward so later on attempting to adjust him to balance and fit with dst is a great job regardless being the case or not since again he was originally an awesome end game character reward

Something off about the voice
Oh no, an advanced character performs well when you play him well! I guess thats why all the speedruns are done on Maxwell instead of Wolfgang.
Maxwell really isn’t hard to play. Get a beefalo and you’ve almost entirely removed the downside
A point he makes often in the video is that its hilarious easy to negate his main downside and for a large portion of players it doesn’t take more than a couple of days to combat it, night armor, a beefalo, hell even an alchemy Engine and a football helmet and you Can be set for a while
Carter has one of the best reworks ever, hope Klei never nerfs him bc he is awesome for destroying Raid Bosses in Solo
Klei almost never does nerfs but I’d be happy to see his max health reduced to something actually threatening
He still needs to be somewhat playable for casuals though
Not even 1 max health smh

Hi Guille!!!
atu
Maxwell's only real problem right now is that while he's very powerful against pre-rift bosses and enemies, he's extremely weak against planar enemies and bosses to the point of being almost completely ineffective against them, which is made even worse by the fact that he doesn't benefit anything or made stronger whatsoever by any of the celestial champion/lunar rifts gear. Hopefully, his skill tree will address this soon.
You can still feasibly throw some nightmare fuel at a boss to kill it
@eberferatu2324 Sure, but the large amount of health planar bosses possess combined with planar entity protection and the fact that almost all planar enemies have devastating area of effect attacks results in your duelists dealing significantly less damage AND dying extremely quickly, causing fights against planar bosses to become highly time consuming and repetitive, which in turn makes them tedious and annoying. That's not exactly a fun gameplay experience. Planar entity protection literally cuts the damage of your duelists down by almost 50%.
1. each piece of void gear gives him tier 3 buffs for his duelists, so you can have 56 damage duelists while still holding a weapon that can do up to 88 damage per hit when ramped up, while also ignoring its sanity drains per usual maxwell style
as for the defensive side of things, void gear maxwell can still survive two full rasp chomps or slap combos
2. nah, even when thrown against planar enemies the duelists + cage are super bullshit powerful and extremely cheap regardless
