don't get me wrong, I'm not upset or anything, I just can't pass up a good opportunity to shitpost.
but really, you're pretty misguided here, Tindel. Given that the team-balancer sometimes would switch all the ranged to one team, that made for some pretty unpleasant fights, and some pretty unhappy people. I'd have to be a pretty shitty (ok, even shittier) deve if I didn't do anything to address that; a complaint many players had.
yes, the patches I do aren't always perfect. I don't always get it right the first time. but you know what? if there is some error in my patch, you can bet your ass I'll be doing my best to fix it once I'm aware of the error. for working on the team balancer, if the end result is a team balancer that distributes teams more evenly, for more enjoyable rounds, then I'd gladly fuck up again to get that result.
the only way that I can learn how to improve things, how to fix things, is to tinker with the code. I don't know what you expect, but I'm not some master Taleworlds codeman with years of experience in programming Warband. I'm just a shitty college student who lucked into this position because there was nobody else around at the time.
so, I'm gonna fuck stuff up again in the future. that's a guarantee, my code isn't perfect. but I won't regret anything if that happens, because those mistakes are necessary to make progress in improving the mod.
you just dont get it, you are NOT a master codeman, you ARE just a shitty collage student, so just fix and do what you stepped up to do and promised to do, and NOTHING ELSE.
this is the problem with every person that has stepped up to fix the game, you come, you fix it, people play it, then you try to "improve it" and piss everyone off. and so the cycle continues.
we dont want you to improve the game, we want you to bring the game back to a time when we enjoyed playing it. you said essentially 2013, wtf about this is 2013? that archers can jump? thats about it.
certainly not the xp values, or the wpf system, or the wpf reduction system, very little about this feels like 2013. your vain attempt to please a handful of new players has pissed off an even larger amount of old vets, the type of people that bring other players just by showing up.
you are not donkey crew, you are not on the same level as tydeus and san, do not think you are gonna figure out the shit they couldnt and balence the game, your attempt at balencing are making the game less fun to play, less enjoyable, please, stop trying to improve the mod. give us the actual revert we want, and then DONT TOUCH ANYTHING, just reset the servers for lag, maybe add new items.
but this whole cycle of stepping up to fix the mod, fixing the mod, making everyone happy, then tinkering with the mod, pissing everyone off, getting pissy with peoples valid complaints.
i get it, its your free time and i should appreciate the work you do.
if you want people to appreciate the work you do, only work on things people will actually appreciate, dont experiment with the mod! or the fact that you are doing this on your free time wont mean shit to us when it is spent ruining our free time. do what you said you would do....and nothing else.
i dont even play this anymore, theres no real end game now, native is more fun to play. and i can still play it for hours straight. bland as it is, its fun to play.
so the only real props i can give you prof, is that crpg WAS far too addictive before, the free time you spend "improving this mod"...gives me more free time of my own.
