There is no "original" because the game hasn't been released in its final state yet
You know, if you have a set distance from point a to point b (like making this game beta) and as you travel said distance, you halve the distance you travel with each step, you will never arrive at point b..
At this point calling it a "alpha" is taking on a whole new meaning.
Understand that they exist because you can just dig down three blocks and put a block on your head to be safe. That kind of effort is not deserving of the freedom I mentioned before, not to mention is a sign of very poorly designed game. Imagine spending years on a game and someone just digs three blocks and covers up! It's equivalent to flipping the bird at all your work
But at some point you should be able to avoid them in a similar way.. Not three but maybe 30..
Everybody is so hung up on the "you shouldn't be able to avoid the horde no matter what"...Who says so???
It's called using your brain. I should be able to out-think some walking dead, and avoiding a fight is the easiest way to win the fight.
"just disable the hordes"
no..just make it so if you are smarter than they are, you don't "have" to fight them, unless you want to..
Why should anybody have to feel inferior by turning down the game from default to get that option?
I will fully admit, when I first started I had to turn everything off, and make them walk at all times.
Felt like a sissy doing it, but whatever.
But after playing it for months, I should be able to play on default, without feeling like i am overmatched.
