So, it makes more sense to release a defense in mistland that would serve the primary purpose of killing greyling and boar in the meadows?

I don't know why they made it they way they did, but I do find it useful against Gjall, and I can see that it would be abused if it worked the way most seem to want it it to work.

If you want to build a base in ML, your moats aren't going to defend against Gjall. What are you going to do?

It's funny how you talk of abuse but then also talk of moats ...
As if moats aren't the stuff that get's abused the heck out of you peeps. So what would be the difference to have something that defends our base that we can actually integrate needly in our builds vs a bs trench who just looks ugly no matter what you do because the terrain-building is so strange that i don't believe trenches where actually an intended game-design but where in the end just acepted because they had to remove terrain-building to remove these cheese-tactic.

I don't use moats, but I do use walls. Clearly walls were an intended design, and moats serve the same purpose. Neither are an active, automatic defense.

If they considered terrain modification a cheese, they could easily remove half of the problem by making terrain destructible like everything else, especially in boss fights, where terrain walls are a very common tactic for making indestructible protection.
