@ Brahma
Try reading my post again Brahma.
And please, don’t call me a retard, or suggest what I should be doing with my time.
You’re supposed to be a developer, not some ignorant troll abusing forum members.
If you can’t give an intelligent and relevant response to a post perhaps you should say nothing?
I didn’t mention anything about specific aspects of game changes did I?
What I did mention was your community contribution and your post above is a great example of your woeful attitude to any criticisms directed at you.
@makke
Yes, Brahma may well be a great developer; I don’t believe I’ve said any different.
If my post is read with a bit of care and the fact that I play the new issue one might see that it’s not the changes in the game I have a problem with; its Brahma’s attitude/involvement within the community as demonstrated above.
Nor did I suggest that the old days were “awesome”.
As to the driving force behind the dev team, sure makke, many of the game changes were discussed and under development before Brahma joined the dev team.
But, at some point the dev team pretty much abandoned the game for various reasons and it was only Brahma’s enthusiasm for the game that it seems that got the teams enthusiasm back. This isn’t just my view, its Brahmas view as well. I think I still have the correspondence from Brahma stating as much and I saw nothing at the time to indicate any different.
The fact is Brahma did revitalize the game. He put vast amounts of work into it compared to the rest of the devs at that time. Changes in the game play may well have been decided in a co-operative fashion but Brahma’s view of the community, the clans and veteran players has been different to what has been demonstrated by the dev team in the past. I think I have correspondence from Brahma outlining these aspects as well. So, given the current situation and the discussions I have had with Brahma in the past concerning the above my conclusions seem quite reasonable to me.
The point I keep making and that keeps getting brushed under the carpet with “do something constructive or stfu” (constructive being limited to practical applications only) is I think much of the current problems have less to do with the changes in the game and more to do with personalities and perceived control and direction. I cant see why this cant be accepted as a valid and constructive contribution to the discussion.
