It punishes players for playing smart and quitting before they lose everything. In other words, I have to metagame and deliberately exploit game mechanics, when the devs just went to great lengths to get people to stop doing that sort of thing with the latest patch. Yeah, my other heroes at less than half health can finish the Thing with no healer, no problem, it will be fine! Tell me, you think that's a realistic option when the Thing from the Stars crits and blights your Vestal, drops her to death's door, and she dies to blight immediately? Yes, I know if you win the battle you get to retrieve the trinkets. Alternatively, during the Farmstead quest I have to suicide the whole group after something goes wrong so that it will be 8 trinkets lost and trigger the Shrieker right away, rather than playing smart and quitting out of the quest at that point. The easiest way to do that is to send them to the Farmstead and lose on purpose, so at least I get those heroes back too, but it's still metagaming. It forces me to deliberately lose 6 more trinkets if I want to get them back, which means 3 more dead heroes. Losing two unique trinkets is far, far worse than losing a hero. * Expand your Hamlet with 4 new District buildings and reap their benefits.It's silly because it breaks the narrative and undermines the whole concept of deaths in the Farmstead being temporary. * 3 new bosses - The Miller, The Thing From the Stars, and the Comet itself! * All-New Enemy Faction: The Miller and his loyal workmen have become eerie husks of their former selves. * Twisted new trinkets, available for purchase from the Jeweler. * Endless Quest: Survive as long as you can while getting lost in time and space, confronted by unending waves of enemies new and old, pushing ever closer to the Comet's epicenter. There hasn't been word from the farm in a fortnight, save for the unearthly groaning that echoes from the ruin of the mill… Some hateful shard of alien origin has streaked through the night sky, crashing into the old Miller’s farm on the outskirts of the Hamlet! Those unfortunate enough to witness the Comet’s arrival have been blinded by what they can only describe as a shifting, ephemeral hue of damnably abrasive intensity.
