Speed up early advancement. It should be many times faster until you have a decent variety of skills.

Improve siege mechanics (eg, a new high end wall type that can only be attacked at specific times set by the village owner).

Give people the option of downloading Ender's client from the game download screen, as well as the normal client. recommend Ender's client.

Based on the slow rate of improvement and the small number of people playing this game seems doomed. I don't want to believe that it is, but it seems like the slow, occasional improvements to this game are not going to be enough to save it. There is something fundamentally wrong with it.

With the early advancement sped up and new players using Ender's client from the start, more of the people that try this game would stick around.

With a new wall type that forces people to attack when village owners are actually playing, we could have -actual fights- as opposed to cheap force summoning based fights.

Without these fixes to the early game and the endgame, I don't think it can survive. The odd little addition isn't going to save it.

First, there was an update speeding up advancement in early game. Second there have been at least two other wall types mentioned by devs.

Other than that, he makes valid points.

Default client is still terrible, defenses suck ass, summoning is gay.

There is no need to make early advancement faster. It's already quite fast. People who don't have the patience for it are not going to be interested in this game anyway. The entire progression tree, as it stands, is quite short already. Any move to speed it up, imo, is a terrible mistake.

Walls, and defenses are known issues covered in a myriad of other topics.

Summoning is an important and necessary part of the game. "Walls that require attacking when village owners are actually playing" can not work. People play in all time zones (potentially). These two issues are integrally related.

They can not rely upon a 3rd party client for their game. They could show case all the third party clients more and put a direct listing of third party clients, like other games allow direct viewing and usage of mods. That wouldn't be a bad idea. I think it has been suggested before.

Finally, you should really only put one idea per post, and try not to repeat ideas already suggested.

I think this game is going to the wrong path. Drunk camera, no day/night cycle, etc.. this game could be better. The chat box needs a better font too, this game gives me nothing but headaches.

Pls no

I actually kind of agree on both accounts. The early game and the siege system both need more love. Those are precisely the things we are working on.
