Normally I would take offense at you not recognizing the best animal, but as today is Corgi-Day, I shall refrain from spamming bunny images to help you see the right path in life…for now. 😛 (Also spiders are terrifying! 😣) ---

Plus I didn’t see it worth the effort to compress the image to fit correctly. 😁 ---

_/looks at above posts_ Sirrian said on-stream, no LT nerfs for 4.0. In my personal opinion, there won’t be LT nerfs in the future. ---

If i correctly recall it was also mentioned the team could consider something else for players to spend gold on.

> [@Ashasekayi](#): > > He’s using the logo for the Nerf toy brand. It’s very recognizable (in the U.S. anyway). Oh. Okay, that makes sense. I have never heard of that brand before - we definitely don’t have it here in Germany. I suppose that clears things up for at least most of you then.😓 We oversea people don’t have your fancy stuff, dangit!😛 ---

So basically the reason troops rarely get nerfed is because you gave them ptsd so they get nam flashbacks? I’m sold. ---

> we definitely don’t have it here in Germany. That´s definitily not true. I´ve got seven different Nerf guns on my own. I HAD to buy them after my boyfriend did. Arms race, you know. 😥 Maybe everytime Salty shoots, the programmers create some nasty troops. 😟 ---

> [@Grundulum](#): > > Possible? Yes. It might not be easy or likely, but I believe that it is possible. Edit: with the standard disclaimer that there may have been changes made since I last interacted with the beta. (I know the devs have been doing things they didn’t let us play with. And I am shocked, _shocked_ by this treatment!) Wait… Will Faction troops be in normal chests when 4.0 is released. Or are they exclusive to only delving chests? (My apologies if this was covered already in the stream). ---

This is something I’m not comfortable answering; factions are such a big departure from standard kingdoms that either option is possible, and I don’t think Salty has lifted the media blackout on beta features yet. Poke her and see if you can get a response. (I don’t think it was mentioned in one of her streams. If it had been, I would tell you what she revealed.) ---

> [@Grundulum](#): > > Poke her and see if you can get a response. Like most women. I feel it’s best not to poke her while she sleeps. Thanks though. Obviously this is only important because of the new kingdom tomorrow and the update being right around the corner. I feel like the beta testers have strategic chest strategy knowledge that us common folk don’t have. ---

> [@awryan](#): > > Will Faction troops he in normal chests when 4.0 is released. Or are they exclusive to only delving chests? @Saltypatra If the beta testers know the answer to this than everyone else should too. It will be a bit unfair if faction troops are in chests and everyone but the beta testers uses all their keys tomorrow. ---

I wouldn’t. I’ve drawn the line at discussing actual Underworld mechanics., as they haven’t been discussed at all. My rule of thumb is that if Salty hasn’t streamed and discussed something, it’s off limits to discuss openly outside of the beta forums. ---
