** Devs a small request...
I can understand the problems having a speed up and down option would have but can you please have a "SWARM RELEASE" option?. Its really common in these type of games and If you would like a swarm/hoard released early, maybe you want a crazy challenge, maybe you dont want to wait 15 days doing nothing at the end of a mission waiting on them.... why would that be a problem to implement?.

Not every game has to do what other games do, otherwise they wouldn't be unique and they would all have loot boxes.

The feature you're describing is usually for dedicated tower-defense games

I would also like to have a swarm release button, or a speed up button. I don't wanna have to wait 10 minutes just for some slow zombies to stumble their way towards my outpost.

Maybe we should remove the usage of a Keyboard and Mouse from TAB and make it 100% Voice controlled. Afterall so many games out there use keyboards and mouses. Not every game has to do what other games do. Because of that TAB is not as unique. Riiight?

while this is true maybe taking the critique figuring out what the core of the problem is and then giving a reply that suits the problem might be better than a knee jerk "dun change mah game" response. (as is all too common on these forums

so, while i disagree with OP's idea. the core concept of "waiting 20 days before actually finishing the game" is a bit of a pain sometimes, the obvious solution from a player perspective is just go on a higher difficulty / less days.

but a speed days up option / skip to day option would save a little time in an already time consuming game, while i enjoy the game and think its time well spent i have been in the situation where i have (what i feel) is alot of time to wait before the next wave that i know im going to beat (specifically with my recent run of the campaign)

i don't think just "releasing the wave" is a good idea otherwise it could be abused to take on a few waves quickly before expanding to give you more "free time" but it would be a nice quality of life feature to let you make the choice to skip days / speed up time.

does higher difficulty just mean less days and not more or harder to kill enemies?. I play on "Challenge". I thought the difficulty was only to do with useless points?.

if you mean campaign no. higher difficulty in campaign only means more zom zoms.
if you mean survival there are 2 different difficulty sections, days and zombies. one raises the number of zombies the other lowers number of days.

and yes its just for score and personal challenge.

Terrible attempt at a counter. One is not all have to have the same features, the other is aiming at the core of what you're playing on - though customization is an option of PC so you kind of ruined your own attempt at a counter.

Plus a lot of games are actually better with a controller, lol.

Perhaps you should re-read it, nowhere did I mention not to change the game - I mentioned not all of them have to do the same thing.

Seems only you had a knee-jerk reaction.

ok. so thanks for the random comment that achieved nothing i guess then? from an outside perspective it looked like you was saying "i don't want this feature in the game so im going to give an anecdotal example as to why it should not be in the game" but if we are on the topic of randomly spewing out nonsense

not all chickens need to have feathers.

That's because you rushed a reaction based on a loose interpretation rather than taking it for what's written and then call it nonsense because you don't read.

ok. so its just a generic statement. ok we can just consider it spam then.

edit. i also have to give you credit where its due to avoid criticism you do some next level mental gymnastics.
