    Probably not, but for some reason that appears to be the end result. Perception can often be more important than reality.

    On the docking changes, pubbers are still telling you it sucks, so nothing gained there. Maybe co…
  • Elodea is clearly a fanboy, so don't take his hypocritical position to heart.

    No, the game has been sold as a finished product for a while now. There's no going back. What does this even mean?
    Surely you don't think it is acceptable to alienate a bunch of people whose money you have taken as long as yo…
  • Camo needs to be reverted back to 100% invisibility. At least it was fun then, and it was no less useless/dangerous to go shade than it is now. The whole phantom/aura thing in BT is bullshit.

    100% invisibility camo seems to me to be the …

  • I get that they want useful feedback. I'm just sick of 100000 people shutting everyone down who comes here telling them certain changes suck. Just accept it and move on, you aren't going to get useful feedback out of everyone, but you can take peopl…
  • It's too disgusting to think about them "replacing" the people who will quit over the changes.
    Those people paid for one thing, which they then put time in to learn, and now it's turning into something quite different that requires re-learning…
  • It's ridiculous that you don't believe something needs to change if a ton of people tell you it sucks.
  • I don't mean random like a roll of a die, more like they'll go with something that they feel is "done" rather than having any specific criteria. Either than or when the cash runs out.
  • So.. what now CrazyEddie? I do appreciate the time you took to post this thread though.

    It seems to be pretty clear now that the plan is to pick a random snapshot of the BT mod when it is deemed "ready", add some signature last minute ch…

    I was actually thinking about whether someone would do that earlier myself.

    Doesn't look like the end result was worth it at this point then. Why change a map so drastically to appease a few comp players at the expense of pissing off the majority of everyone else? I guess it just wasn't considered (herp de…

    Perhaps there should be an announcement clarifying that then. People aren't going to read a 79 page thread to find out what is and is not going to happen.

    Given UWEs previous record of last minute changes making it in t…

    I don't know if that's so unreasonable. This isn't a beta any more after all. Couldn't whatever issues were present have perhaps been resolved with minor changes rather than major ones? I guess what I'm wondering is why changes to …
  • At a ratio of 15:1, Tres to Pres conversion seems silly. It's also practically a hidden mechanic to the average field player.

    What's so wrong with lifeform eggs? If they are too cheap, increase the cost of them rather than switching the…

    This is rapidly becoming the go to write-you-off-reason for why lots of people don't like the new/upcoming changes. I guess "you aren't a comp player so your opinion doesn't matter" got old?
    Not calling you out specifically f…

    What methods have been used to get the opinions of casual players? I doubt most of them either post on the forums or play the BT mod, so how has it been done?

    If it has somehow been done, why does it seem like he is ign…
  • Never seen the magical primer. I definitely didn't dismiss it.
  • The worst ones are the 11 year olds that constantly chatter about nothing, making it impossible to hear anything coming. =(

    It's one of those most retardedly anti-casual changes possible, the end result of which is guaranteed to be most people running around without armor most of the time.
    Hands up if you are constantly taking two-bites in what lo…
  • I've yet to hear any positive comments on the new docking in game. I have heard plenty of complaints about it. Take that as you wish, but to me the majority of players who don't post here don't seem to agree with the changes.

    Personally …
  • Interesting stuff, but I'm still not convinced there was anything wrong with pre-gorgeous skulk movement, i.e. before they bricked them. I 100% agree that BT skulk feels pretty strange indeed.

    The solution for me to any skulk movement pr…

    Hyperbole! It's up to people like you to bring evidence. Blah blah blah.

    /Oh wait, that only happens for people who don't think the BT mod is the best thing since sliced bread.

    *Snip* Keep that language out of here -Ironhorse The perspective of my friends who play on the upcoming balance test is evidence. You and the devs can take it or leave it, I'm not going to debate. …

    This type of game will never appeal to many RTS players. Token changes to add more minor RTS elements as present in the BT mod won't make NS2 popular with StarCraft 2/insert other popular RTS here fans.

    Take 10 noobs and have them join vanilla. They'll be confused but interested (until they get rocked as skulk).
    Now have them join BT, and they won't have a fucking clue what is going on.

    How do I know? I've got 60…

    I for one can't wait to see the blistering performance gains resulting from non-mirrored VRAM on a 32 bit OS. See 1.

    In terms of making progress, fanboys are almost as bad as comp players.
  • It should be obvious why it's a mistake. You can't just change the game in such a huge way and hope that it's better. It's relying on a gimmick to get new players in (for the cash) at any cost rather than doing it by providing continuous improvement…
  • Wow, can't believe the entire "balance test" mod is getting patched over live. I think this is a big mistake.
