Just saw this and yes, this has been a growing concern - my voice has echoed about Gameplay issues, not just Gladiators ;)
Without a fantastic game, there is no point... Magic The Gathering, YuGiOh and others didn't create a bunch of subgames... they made ONE fantastic product... until that product could support the next and the next... and the next...
I do believe @yabapmatt has the vision to right the ship... so I shall stay and continue to invest weekly. Like many have said however, I would be comfortable investing so much more if things looked like they were headed in the "best" direction.
NPE > Everything Else including Land 2.0
The problem that I saw with Land 2.0 is the same as you pointed out:
WTF am I even looking at... it's so COMPLICATED... SIMPLE = BEST in "games" like this...
Anyways, here's to the BULL and may we all see SPL prosper under the full guidance of Matt's leadership!
Great comment. The game is niche enough already and the big push is to make it more so. Fast forward to land 2.0 being done and does it drive an influx of new players? I think that's an easy no.
