I know how long and hard work it takes to come up with a patch, but it is downright urgent to address the issues below or siege will definitely die.
1- Defender countdown timer is broken. It is not automatically modified anymore to suit the number of players. There is a visible countdown, which ends only to keep defenders waiting more. Defender numbers are diminished too quickly and remain so for a very long time.
2- It is great that some old maps made a comeback and some new ones were designed. There is this one map though (I am so sorry that I failed to screen it, but I think the descriptions will suffice). A desert map with a courtyard (the flag in the middle) and a very high balcony above it. Here, the spawn points are simply fucked up (sorry, no other way of putting it). Defenders keep spawning in that balcony and have no choice other than suicide. I even spawned inside the wall textures once. Looks like that map wasn't even tested and spawn points were just arbitrarily thrown around.
I realize that the second issue is entirely about scene editing, yet the countdown timer problem requires an urgent hotfix. For the last few days, I, probably the biggest siege enthusiast out there, have been constantly leaving after fooling around for several minutes. Please just release small hotfix for this issue dear devs.
