And while I do like new survivors, I'd rather have something else beside just adding more when I will not use more than 4-6 each game. And with 50+ already to chose from, a new survivor won't add that much to the game itself anymore.

The $1,000k stretch goal is something I've wanted for awhile so I approve. It's nice to get something other than survivors every now and then and your looking at a deck of 60 or 70 cards for "free"

I like this goal. Hopefully they include the wraith of kings survivors as well (and the upcoming game night boxes) a provide a way to get them for future survivors.

Some of the comments on the update on kickstarter are really extreme. You would think CMON had killed someone by the way they are acting.

Although I do hope the rpg-lite / campaign rules turn up soon!

The comments section is ridiculous right now it's day 4 of the KS and they are closing in on $1 million okay there could have been better things to put at $1,000k but they will come and the card deck was asked for during KS2 they listened and made it happen. There's 24 days to go so it should be seen in that context.

FYI Dave C, your painted Zombicide minis look aces, bro! Well done!

Thanks Cincy. Are they yours on page 3? (or just a random search) they look great either way. Someday I hope to do them all but that's a project for down the road I really enjoyed painting those 6. I did get the abomination done as well before I stopped great mini to paint.

They're actually a friends, so no, theyr'e not mine.

I want to get mine painted, and I actually have a few primed, but i haven't gotten there yet!

That is a wickedly nice abomination. I'd be afraid to play with such awesome painted figures.

I'm only about a third of the way through painting my sets up, but it looks really nice playing with a painted set

I really want to paint my sets up but I just have so much 40k to paint I don't know if I'll ever have the time to do it. I can imagine it would look so much nicer to play with than all grey, green, and orange zombies.

Trust me on this, you are wrong.

Each survivor has unique combinations of abilities that play differently, making the game a little different everytime you try a new character or combination of abilities. Not all characters are a good fit for a particular player's style of play.

We are much better off getting new unique/exclusive survivors than anything we can buy more of at retail.

People are honestly brutal on the comment section. Honestly its a good add-on. Its not a "KS breaking stretch goal of awesome" but it is still really nice. I do not really understand the comment section. This is a very well run KS and the questions are answered really fast. Correct me if I am wrong but I just see a lot of really spoiled children complaining

(Minus the good conversations in between all the crap- like did you see the conversation about including a disabled survivor to be more inclusive of different types of people? I am all sorts of down to giving a nod to those with disabilities. Those should be having more attention paid to.)

The people in the comments spewing garbage are just internet heroes. The guys at GG are really good at getting back to legitimate questions and have a very well thought out and solid plan when it comes to their kickstarters.

I've emailed the devs about a rule question in S1 and got an email reply from them within a couple of days. It was really cool.

I wish people would sit back and realise that they are complainging about getting a really nice cool FREE add on.

One of the backers who hated the new stretch goal posted that he wanted to punch another backers face in because he liked the goal.. What's with these people?

A lot of those commenting seem to be convinced that because they are getting all the promo dashboards and team cards for the promo characters for the $1mil stretch goal that CMON are going to be selling the original promo models as well and are already getting themselves worked up in case it doesn't happen (extremely unlikely).

Got a link for that?

And sad to see that the KS Comments section continues to be a largely insane place - they need to figure out a better system, a moderated system, and/or a way to 'ignore' certain users, etc.

Wow, vitriolic is the word to describe those comments. You'd think that someone just pissed in their beer the way they responded to the 1mil stretch

The punching comment? It was this guy here -

https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1510388756/comments

(My apologies, originally read the comment whilst rushing to the station and was remembering it slightly incorrectly, it was punching him in the face, not punching his face in). I like that after being called a jerk by the person he wanted to punch he posted this response -

@Cossatta whoa... whats with the name calling bro. All i said was i wanted to punch you. I never said said anything hurtful. jeez!

Despite all the grumbling we are actually moving pretty fast towards the $1mil mark at the moment and hopefully the reveal of some stretch goals that appeal to the vocal backers.

i think they should have revealed the next stretch goal at the same time as the card deck to give those wanting a new survivor something to look forward to.

While I really shouldn't complain myself, since I am backing this project... BUT with huge KS like this, that can afford to hand out free stuff in plenty, it is spoiling the customers making it increasingly harder for small companies to actually get support by KS, simply because everyone is comparing it to the freebies and better deals they receive from the larger KS. This kind of mentality is starting to take over.

I am not so sure I am wrong, we simply have different views on this. I have all survivors up to date (and yes, I will get all from KS3, too!), but adding new survivors isn't really affecting the game. GG has provided the backers with the possibility of creating your own survivors if you so wish, so you can pretty much create any combination how much you want, just as I would be able to "buy more at retail". It's not like you need a specific miniature and a specific ID-card to play the game.

I'd, personally, would want to see more things added to the game rather than having them pump out new characters. More zombies, more tiles, more cards, etc. I'd even take a dice-bag over too many characters at this point (not that I wrote too many!).

I've avoided the KS comments like the Plague. There's so much entitlement and whining going on over there that it's disappointing I can't stand to read through anything to find the helpful comments.

I'm gonna need more card sleeves...

I generally check Thiagos comment page as he is a member of the team -

https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/800068628/comments

and a half hearted look at CMONs -

but Thiago is the one to really keep an eye on.

At the moment someone is complaining that the stretch goal wasn't a foam case. Do they know how much those cost?

Yeah, I should bookmark those for quick access during the campaign.

And yeah, foam is expensive. Unlocking a production run for the foam as a paid add-on would be fine, but there's no way it'd ever be free.

Same here. It's pretty bad. I feel bad if spencer and thiago are actually reading them.

Thiago has now changed the deck of cards to a non-kickstarter exclusive and has stated that every new survivor in the future will come with a matching card to add to the deck.

I follow the comments becuase they occasionalyhave something useful, like the above comment by Thiago.

On the plus side they have stopped demanding season 1 and 2 exclusive figures.

On the negative side, there is a crap ton of whining about the deck oif character cards.

Makes me wishlist an ignore function on Kickstarter like we have here on DakkaDakka

Just past the $1 mil mark so should have some new stretch goals incoming shortly.

Finally a Resident Evil character - even if it is Alice

Now wait for the complaints about the $50k stretches.

Really its a 100k stretch to get them playable.

No complaints about Alice tho.

Agreed, not-Alice is a nice character to have.

And let's not fool ourselves, we'll break through $100k in a couple days.

~iPaint

I can't read Storm of Crows without thinking Jon Snow.

Jon Snow, you know nothing about zombies, nothing.

I'm a big fan of Alice being made, just not of that outfit.

Still hoping for the Winchester Brothers.

With 6,248 backers, it's like adding an automatic 60K in pledges with every $10 add on.

Lets hope that Alice is just the first of the characters we see from a certain zombie-slaying franchise!

Edit: oh! The Winchester brothers? Yeah I'd be up for that!
