I'm always open for suggestions, they'll just have to be good ;)
The "!" you see mark nearby mines (or in the case of the Defuse Pack also Detectors and Teleport Breakers). Because I didn't want to make it too easy, they are displayed in a random area around each mine or ward. So, each "!" does correspond to a real invisible unit that can be destroyed by the Defuser.
I thought that it would be pretty clear how many mines you got, just going by the explosions ... What kind of feedback are you thinking of? I guess more floating texts are not really helping ... ;)
About the Defuser / Exploder situation ... yeah, it's not optimal, I know. The latest beta has two changes concerning that situation, that are pretty substantial.
One of them is a fix of a rather stupid bug - if you managed to defuse the Explosives, the Explosion actually happened around the Defuser, instead of the Exploder .... ^^"
The other one enables you to stop the countdown by stunning the Exploder. This means, that some tanks now have the ability to stop the Explosives just with their normal skills. This change also affects Teleport Breakers, since they also stop the Explosion, which happened regardless until now.
So, the advantage of the Defuser would be, that you can instantly kill the Exploder (in most cases at least) and maybe his allies around him and get the credit for it, while just stunning might not be enough to kill the Exploder.
As mentioned, the Defuse Pack also works on Detectors and Teleport Breakers, so you have another use there, which may or may not be useful to some.
