No, you're not. I'd love to see more stability before new features are added.

Not at all, although I wish there were more people who pushed for specific content.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

I am both excited about bug fixes and ready for Toady to move on to new content.

I won't start a new fort until he is done with the bug fixes round, so while I want him to fix as many bugs as possible, I am also eager to play.

Either way all I really care about are progress updates.  I like to know what he is up to.  The development interests me just as much as actually playing the game.

I am all for getting annoying bugs fixed over new shiny things any day. :)

I like both. I enjoy bug hunting and reporting (the third best way to contribute after donating and advertising the game), as I enjoy following the development of new features.

I'm waiting for bugfixes too.

Though it's pointless to wait for bugfixes in a game like DF.

No point in adding more content to the a game that is stricken with endless bugs which make it unplayable. That isnt the case here, but it will make the game much more enjoyable.

I was thinking more along the lines of this legendary champion, all clad in dented and dinged up steel plate, his blood-drenched axe slung over his back, a notch in the handle for every enemy that saw the swing of that blade as the last sight they ever saw, a battered shield strapped over his arm... and a fluffy, pink stuffed hippo hidden discretely in his breastplate.

Honestly right now I'd rather have new content. There doesn't seem to be crippling bugs in the game right now.

It depends on the bug. Occasional crashes from bronze colossi standing near zombies? Not too important, I'd rather have revamped towns. Game-freezing adamantine spires? Well, also not important, but also also game-breaking, I could go either way. Unkillable husks? Forget you, new features, I want survivable evil areas!

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

I would say bugfixes... especially anything which improves our FPS.  The **ONLY** exception to this would be providing sieging goblins with actual sieging devices or seiging weapons!! You can't help but feel sorry for them running through a death maze or standing outside your walls/gates.

The original poster should have setup a poll instead of only a question.
