I will apologize. I am a whiner. I've made several posts since patch came out and most of them were complaints. I do like the patch. I like that I don't see as many archers as I used to (srsly, those guys were annoying). I like that I'm earning more gold and xp now. I like that players who have been around way longer than me don't automatically have an advantage because they can afford the best equipment. I like the new in-game level-up system, which i'm not sure if its working right but it'll be pretty cool once the bugs get worked out.
I also like the strategus entry-announcement tie-ins, and the fact that the game tells me now when i've dinged.
I guess the reason I have complained more than I have praised is that there are things that I feel need attention, and those are the negative things not the positive. I know it's unfair; chadz needs to hear he's doing a good job, and he is. I very much enjoy playing Crpg and I doubt i'll stop until i have to. I would just rather see the mod grow up than sideways. There are fundamental flaws in every game and every patch, and while some of them are subjective no one will never know if the changes were good or bad for the community unless the community says something. Fair enough?
