Well if the Elec Floors were 9 deep then Pit's and Powered Trapdoors wont have to be 9 deep anymore. You only need one nine deep part to your house if you really want to use the "nine deep option". Elec Floors are TOO overpowered right now and when every house pretty much has a block of Elec Floors that make the first 10-20 steps a complete one in a million guess its impossible to even get into the rest of the house.

I GET having the Vault near the front as a lure but alot of people are just scratching the idea of making a big puzzle house (IMO how the game should be) and just making a 3x3 to 5x5 square of Elec Floors near the door and calling it a day. Just a 3x3 square can have like 100's of possible solutions.

Trying to play today but the game is literally at a standstill with no more Abandoned Houses. No one can make a new house with the $2000 and there is no money to be made unless you are trying to brute force the Top Houses. Which are almost all electric floors right as you come in.

Ive been trying to find a good way to explain what I was thinking. Colorfusion just did it. Thanks! This is definitely the problem right now.

yes and yes! cant wait for this so i dont have to kill my self on elaborate electric floor setups while testing... ...I also hopefully plan to make some sort of disco dance floor in the center of my house as well! cue the music!

Awesome feedback Jason and as usual great reasoning and explanation of what you are going for...Thanks!

Here's the problem I see with now getting rid of/lowering Abandoned Houses salary. Sorry for the longwinded(longtyped?)ness...

The last couple weeks playing this game I have realized that there are these houses that have small amounts of money $300-$600 that all regenerate to the same amount. They are pretty easy to get to the vault because ALMOST everything is broken/dead. Even though ultimately I have died doing this as well as sometimes the house isn't completely broken. I even started a thread about it (http://thecastledoctrine.net/forums/vie … php?id=234) because at first I was very confused. You see, these houses have been a great way for me to make money over the last couple weeks. They changed the game from the bit-lock/magic dance grind that the game had become into something a bit more fun, at least for me. I could attempt to break into a handful of these Abandoned Houses and make a good chunk of change ($2000-$5000) over time and actually start a good house. I know these technique may seem "broken" and a way of exploiting the game but I also see bit-locks as broken. You see right now people, myself included, just wait for O Houses ($2000 0/0) to become available and just snatch up the $2000. So pretty much either you are on top of the leader-boards or you are spending your first $2000 on random items so your house isn't an O House that even pounces on and then you constantly attempt to break in to a top house. I have been playing this game everyday and an avid reader/poster here on the forums so I see myself as a knowledgeable community member here and not just bias. There are a certain number of "go-to" designs that people have begun to adopt and you pretty much see on the top page of the leader-board every time and that to me seems more "broken" then houses that have been abandoned. Now I know that Jason is going for an aesthetic here and when he has addressed problems or concerns here on the forums things are often compared to how they actually would take place in the real world, a reasoning that I actually love. There are definitely abandoned houses in real life but they don't keep regenerating money, so maybe ultimately getting rid of a salary at all would be something to try? (Sidenote** I know that Jason is working on ALOT of updates and fixing alot of things for v.6 so please dont take this long paragraph as a rant, because it absolutely ISNT. I have truly been enjoying this game everyday and feel as if these forums have been a great way to start discussions and that is all I am trying to do.)

right on. Ive never seen a problem like that....sorry.

<--- Pressed it today. lol

@colorfusion. all of your reasons are SPOT ON. I totally agree with you even though Jearr raises some good ideas. I think one thing that would be a great, albeit simple addition, is the ability to just double click on the house you want to rob instead of click on the "Rob House" button.

awesome. thanks so much for continuing to work and communicate with us Jason. this addition sounds great.
