Personally I think that among the biomes it's the wasteland and burnt forests that should be sub-biomes. They make the least sense to have as full sized biomes and are also just generally unpleasant visually. Plus it'd make those biomes easier to balance considering there's valuable resources in them if they were smaller in size.
If removals are necessary for performance then I can understand it and there's not much to be done, it just stinks because variety has a lot of value to keep the game from getting boring and stale aesthetically.

I really like the variable animation speeds for the guns, will that also work for melee weapons? Would be nice for modding in items using existing animations but wanting to tweak the attack speeds.

When Madmole Makes Chocolate Chip Cookies For Lunch...
"Those look lumpy. Is that intended?"
"Madmole dropped a cookie once while eating. Don't you find it weird that since he didn't eat that cookie perfectly he is still making cookies?"
"Those look like they're still raw!!! Why are you going with raw instead of baked?
"I rate this picture a 3 out of 10 because I always assumed it was going to be Snickerdoodles"
"Eating raw cookie dough is bad for you. You could get salmonella."
"I don't see milk in the picture. Your lunch will fail since you aren't going to have milk"
"Girl Scouts are doing their cookie rush soon. These should have been baked a month ago. Now you won't want to eat these with your lunch if you have Thin Mints in the freezer."
"Why are you going with the metal pan format instead of using a stone?"

My impression was, MM saw this interesting groove in the hillside with a road and wanted to look "what's behind that curtain", because he didn't seem to know himself (he thought it would lead to somewhere and was surprised that the road ended).
He also thought it wasn't finished. My guess is that it is supposed to be an unfinished road leading nowhere.

"The middle one on the last row doesn't look so good. I hope this will be corrected before baking or someone will have to change that on the finished cookie"

"My impression was, MM wanted to make panna cotta instead, because he obviously doesn't know anything about cookies. Looks somewhat dry. My guess is that there should have been a caramel sauce, but whoever did that missed the bus"
In the near future when someone takes one of your posts as being more negative than you intend, look back at this post. Reading this kind of crap from you over and over is why people read your posts and assume you are being negative. Even the few times you aren't really.
"9. Oh, now A17 is getting close to Beta? Make. Up. Your. Mind." I mean look at that one comment. (And this wasn't near the most snide one of the post) That is EXACTLY how the Beta remark has been repeated and explained a few dozen times now. A17 is near Beta. It is such a big overhaul that is seems like Beta. It is NOT Beta. If it was, THEY WOULD CALL IT B1 not A17.
I don't have time to go over everything else but this is exactly the kind of post that makes most of us roll our eyes when we see a new post from you.
Had to add one more. "Fake. It just plops over and even moves on the ground (at 1:48 and at 2:42, and at 12:50, and at 13:23, and at 13:45, and at 15:44, and at 19:06, and at 19:22, and at 19:49, and at 21:24)" That has to be the most ♥♥♥♥ comment I've ever seen. Exactly what possessed you to mark down that many examples of how this UNFINISHED ALPHA release doesn't look exactly right to your expert eyes? Lol

I keep hearing some POIs were redesigned as dungeon style. Does the "70 new level designed POI's" in the first post include those, or are they 70 brand new ones.
Basically I want to know if we are gaining 70 POIs but maybe losing 30 others that were redesigned into dungeon style. The more the better...why cant we keep both versions...for variety

Well, you see that I also posted postive feedback. Not just negative. That's the entire point, right? But if someone only wants to see the negative ones, I can't stop them.
My A17 = Beta remark was because in one video MM states that A17 is beta. It equals it. In the next video he says its getting close to it. This vagueness is not really helping IMHO.
And my remarks regarding the ragdoll effect? Yeah, I know it is unfinished. Did I say I took it for finished content anywhere? No. That's what you assume (like certain people). It was intented to show what was clearly not good yet. Hopefully it gets fixed.
Sure, roll around with your eyes if you want. Perhaps you can spot the horse blinders..
Hmm that reminds me with the whole raw/baked comment. Will we still be able use the uma system to make new zeds for modding? or is that completely going away?

Yeah, that is the point but even you have to admit that the list of times was a bit much. I mean that kind of snide remark is why we don't get as many videos and updates as we did in past Alphas. (In my opinion.) Negative feedback is: "The ragdoll effect doesn't look right." And one or MAYBE two timestamps to show. You have TEN timestamps to make one point. You know you were being an a$$. Just admit it and move on.

Cut him some slack guys, he's not called the Beloved Curmudgeon of the forums for nothing after all.
