I'm not trying to dispute your saying of the 20% of their final product but I'm just wanting to find an official dev source in order to cite that to others as that would be interesting to track for future citing purposes.

As for siege weaponry, I'm highly skeptical of that given that there seems to be more folks who play in single player and most others otherwise cooperatively with the pvp considerations a very low demographic given the way the game is currently implemented.

When it comes to player advancement and the "technology" used, it is important to understand that feature creep is one of the major ways to cause a game to become a mess. I think the devs reasonably understand this and aren't looking to make the game become so feature creep oriented.

You cited wow and even their devs have often discussed, and altered the game due to feature creep.

But keep in mind that's an mmorpg where as Valheim isn't. It isn't a great comparison to use em.
