Agreed on destroying objects for currency seems strange and repetitive. You always wonder if you miss one. If the extra resources are needed for balencing I would rather get them from killing monsters or choosing to beat a stronger monster (little boss for example) to get them or any other mechanism.

I totally agree. It would be better to get them from more meaningful interactions (environment or lore related?). And not wasting the exploding barrels in the process...!

I agree as well.  I would be happier without feeling like I needed to search each room for random things to break for a tiny bit of extra resources.

backing this up

Also agree. 

I agree that it could be a bit repetitive. Just have a random idea, what if there will be a possibility to spam as well bugs from them, so its like you can have positive and negative effects of doing it? or even triggering a wave? 

I think that would be worse, because then I would still want to break all the boxes up (it would be optimal in terms of resources), but then I would also have to spend time mopping up mobs in addition to the time spent breaking the boxes.

I second that breaking the boxes is a mindless chore; I would rather just find resources in the occasional chest (which is guaranteed to have something in it).

I would rather see someone replace the boxes that have little bits of resources with enemies that drop bits of resources instead, and leave the explosive things in place.  I might even go as far to let the wave enemies randomly drop small bits of resources.

I think it would remove it feeling tedious plus then many rooms could have enemies in front of you to fight, and then you could have some rooms with enemies waiting in them but without a spawner, which could make a more variable challenge per room.

Btw, nice idea!

Thanks Stellarsson - I've been a bit harsh on the game so far so I'm hoping the dev don't think I hate them or what they are making.

Thinking about the game I just realized - as far as I can tell, the only thing you get rewarded for shooting in game are the inanimate containers right now, and your character is sort of a moving tower for whatever is weakest at the time.  Do you do well in a wave, you simply don't lose anything.  There's no possible reward for doing action well other than not losing resources or the game.  But lets say you squeak past the locked door and you end up in a area with only a few resources.  You could sort of 'recover'  by pushing into the first few rooms quickly to kill the monsters for that 2-3 extra resource to you need to get that thing you really need.

I have another crazy idea.  What if you changed the resource generation from being granted when you open the some small resource per sec to match timed waves.  Then if you don't open a door within a certain amount of time, you trigger something..... scary to come after you.  Maybe something that opens doors like what they had in DotE.
