I can only say it again:
Here's where you can actively help to make this game better.
I admit, in the past, we haven't listened much to the people's opinion when we introduced certain changes. (remember 1.0 ?). I can understand that some people have given up hope to be heard.
There's a lot that has gone wrong between the comunity and devs over the past 5 years, and I surely wish I could start over with the whole thing in 2005 again...
This time for 1.1, we were discussing/playtesting and openly documenting our development process for 1.1 in the forums, over a period of about 4 weeks. Our initial plans for changes were based on the an analysys of largest suggestion thread from the old forums. Those few that helped us playtest and discussed with us are generally quite happy with the outcome. Those who were not around, and didn't bother to playtest are now those that hate 1.1 the most.
I hate to see the playerbase divided like this, and I also feel sad that many people dismiss 1.1 as a piece of crap instead of helping us to make it better, or being passive when it was being developed.
I still hear people bitch about issues from 1.1.0.0 wich have been fixed in the successive versions, wich tells me that a lot of people didn't bother to try any version beyond the initial 1.1....
So, if you hate 1.1 - tell me why. I certainly didn't plan to break the game's feeling, all I tried was to make it a bit more intresting than smg vs sniper.
