Sad to see the decline in the playerbase

Not really relevant unless you're willing to share your code or at least include it in the next version though. Phantom's patch works and I'd rather have a pause feature without a resume warning included than none at all. I think everyone can agree on that at least. No this doesn't count as "shitting on your work".

One would wonder why developers don't have the "entire freedom" to make their own game better in the first place? If you're hinting at a lack of community support, then I'd say that if a significant majority of the current playerbase are against a change you want to implement, the change is probably bad or else the reactions would not be so negative. The community will support any favourable change that is implemented in a proper fashion.

true, but how would you propose we combat that? I get that better facebook/social media promotion would be a good start, but that alone will never be enough to compete with any major game.

A lag free experience when playing should be more valued, IMO. Home servers should be encouraged, but only by people who actually have the upload to host them.

lol if you're gonna post stuff about me please stop downright lying. I specifically made a point of telling people that they were free to use the client if they wanted, Larry was the one who was actually telling people not to use your work. I don't care if people want to play on a modified client, all I said is that I'm sticking to the default and that I'm never gonna support any attempt to centralise matchmaking unless it's done via the official development team, or certainly at least not via a competitive clan in the game. A competitive clan release a client dedicated to matches, that force us to play maps and modes they choose on their servers only and they won't even release the source - and then they call the community toxic because everybody doesn't immediately love it? Are you joking or just that out of touch with people?
If you wanted any real support, you should have at the absolute minimum consulted with the competitive community about suitable maps/modes before you just made your own. Or, even failing that, you should have openly disclosed that you were open to the possibility of revising your map list. If it was really only as bad as me, Larry and 1cap opposing your client, it would be a guaranteed, undisputable success. But it's not.

What you did was good, the way you did it was bad. I've never criticised your skills as a coder or your intentions behind creating a matchmaking system (I think AC needs one), but don't shove stuff down our throats and rage at us when we offer negative feedback. That is simply tyrannical.

I'm not even gonna write more about the client - literally everything that needs to be said has been said here and throwing 'points' back at me like "my reasons are selfish" or "i am toxic" won't foster appropriate discussion. I would prefer it if you addressed my points properly without using either of the aforementioned phrases, and if you want to throw in some personal insults I'm fine with that. It's just gonna show people you have nothing you can actually say back to me. :D

preach it brother
