Glad people liked the Rook-thing. See thread here for reactions and awesome posting of spoiler vid. I didn't, tho. It was very very boring.
My POV: You sit and wait and wait and wait and wait for the rook to do his thing. Meanwhile people are coming from all corners to clean up what the rook will do. People know the routine, revive revive revive. My response, so what so what so what. To me, waiting for the rook routine is like watching paint dry. And then the clean up is like mining. I went to bed.
Just another perspective on the rook. It was cool that something happened. Hard not to like the introduction of a new feature. But, for me, very meh game-wise.
Super happy to see folks trying to cook up some strategy around the rook. But for me it's the mechanics that are dull. Beautiful art, neat screen breaking, but same-ole gameplay.
What am I missing? What could make the rook-thing more interesting? I was trying to do something to protect--but seemed all we could do was wait. b-o-r-i-n-g
