I think that nearly every person that has played this version sees that it isn't quite ready for play, it is really harming the quality of gameplay we have all come to love. This post isn't meant to be mean spirited or anything like that, I like change in island defense. . . but there are just too many elements that are either unfinished or unpolished in this version.

I agree completely. The recent version(s) of ID are just killing myself and a lot of others motivation to play. Too many changes and loss of area.

how else is the new version to become polished if one of the main factors in it developing is play testing?

Because Neco doesn't care about what we think, he only cares about bugs and them being reported.

Sorry, not sure what you mean here, are you saying neco doesn't listen to player feedback?

If so, I'd like to refer you to this thread: https://entgaming.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=84587. More particularly, the c update and neco explicitly posting in the thread asking for feedback via discord.

And why are you giving neco asking for bug reports a negative connotation? How is that even remotely a bad thing?

Yeah I have to agree with 1337 here, 104 seems very "unpolished" as Alex puts it, especially with top middle missing like that.

I agree with stealo here too. The influx of players could simply be due to the fact its also spring break for a lot of Americans right now. Just like how during summer time there are more players online.

Seeing these topics really does my nut. I mean given all the time you guys put into making island defense.... oh wait... Maybe we should take into consideration all the testing you guys do on new versions before they come out, wait you don't do that either.... Or maybe it's the money you pay for it to be developed and tested... Wait you don't do that either...

How about you just appreciate the fact that anybody bother's to do anything for the map and spends THEIR time fixing/testing the bugs and making shit work.

Feel free to flame. Really couldn't give a fuck. You're all ungrateful fucks.

The community is what is keeping island defense alive. People are just trying to give constructive criticism, to which I thought Neco welcomed.

Im pretty sure everyone's intention was to be helpful, whether you see it as constructive or not could be considered your opinion.

I was a major help at the start of this project, along with the majority of players in StiD and also some BTI players. We tested stuff on a daily basis, and wrote long ass bug reports. But that can't simply continue on for 2 years. As you can see, most of them has quit Island D. It isn't mainly because they didn't like the new changes, also because Neco didn't give a shit what people thought. Oh? Have you had working hotkeys that wasn't needed to be re-worked? Well, I don't like them so let me fuck them up. List can continue but I want to keep this short.

People will get frustrated that their favorite game is still unplayable and unfinished and start blaming, especially when the communities ideas are ignored. How can you not see that ignoring the communities ideas and thoughts is both unfair and arrogant, swallow your pride and give something positive instead of having an "us vs them" mentality.
