    By the way, what happens to the Military Stealth Boots?  Are they still only available through crafting from that one book? Did they get taken out of the game? I always liked those because they were crafting only, if you wanted them you had to actually work for them, not just get lucky while...

    That is a very, very narrow interpretation of a tower defense game and it is also a poor excuse to justify bad design choices. Like @Vedui said pre-A17 defenses had to be layered and cover more than one angle of attack like -gasp- an actual tower defense scenario.  Now players are forced to...

    I completely agree, they have it reversed. The crafted items should be superior to loot because it requires a lot more effort/resources to craft something vs ninja-looting skyscrapers. For what it is worth, I have a small mod that adds the +1 crafting back on the nerdy glasses, but only when...

    Lol, my sentiments exactly! With crafting tiers locked behind looting dozens of magazines, AND capping it at Blues... It seems like good odds that you will loot a tier 6 of any given item long before you will ever be able to craft a tier 5 of the same item. Which would make the whole...

    You heard it here first folks, someone accidentally found "useful stuff" missed by the dev team. As this exploit might inadvertently lead to viable gameplay, Looting is officially OP! Next patch will completely remove the loot tables and replace everything with magazines. Remember it only...

    It is a moot point now, but since you asked. I suggested it would be better to simply keep water collection the way it currently is. You listed all the other less preferable ways to obtain water and then acted like that addressed my concern, which it didn't. That gave the impression that you...

    Now that you mention it, I have hated the zombie AI since A17.  Please bring back the zombies that actually act like zombies instead of the conga line of structural engineers who magically detect and path to the weakest block. It was far less predicable and exploitable when the zombies would...

    Granted it's probably not the majority of people, but neither is it an edge case for people who play in groups to divide their labor, for example on a community server supporting a streamer. Or even solo gamers who want to play a low-loot, self-sufficient type of game. My point is to shine a...

    Water: Point 1: Your alternatives to being able to collect water from the environment is basically the equivalent to saying "Let them Eat Cake". You can loot or buy any resource, but that is a good excuse to remove chopping wood and mining from the game? Obviously not. Point 2: Even if the...

    I see you are not a fan of thinking ahead to avoid mistakes. Have you heard the saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" or perhaps, "Measure twice, cut once"? The time to correct course is before the mistake is made. It is far better to give the feedback at the concept stage...

    And yet you still managed not to address the points made in the argument. Thanks for your non-contribution.

    You know what would be real simple? Taking a jar down to a @%$#ing stream. That is simple. Yes, Green Hell has dew catchers, that does not mean 7d2d needs to do it too. Even if you just "want to use this cool dew catcher model someone made", then by all means add it to the game, but it...

    Quite frankly, they need to stop @%$#ing with core mechanics and focus on actual content. A21 is shaping up to be another steaming pile of @%$# like A17 was.
