Thank you, Brahma, for taking time to respond to this topic.
Regarding the issues that you have listed about 1.0.4 i should say that every single problem you have mentioned can be fixed with all the new improvements you have brought to AC 1.1 without changing the gameplay:
- You can implement the anti-cheater code you put in 1.1
- You can put the same one-nade limit
- You can, as suggested, remove the ratio/death/kill stats and show them at the end of the game
- I think that the only imbalance in 1.0.4 is when you turn around a corner and a n00b smacks you with his shotgun and drains all your 100 HP/100 Armour with a single shot. Also, maybe, sniper+pistol is a bit too powerful, but if your SMG is good, you should get a kill even against a pro. Some changes regarding this issues could have been proposed without changing the game play at all (now shotgun has gib ability? O.o )
- All other issues seem minor to me, and can be fixed the way you fixed them in 1.1
For me, even addition of one new weapon to a game which already has only 4 primary weapons, is a complete revolution, because 1 new weapon = new gameplay, new strategy, new tactics. I still think that all the changes you brought with 1.1 could well be implemented in 1.0.4 retaining the 1.0.4 gameplay, or at least avoiding big gameplay changes.
And just a little something for the developers. Please don't get offended by this, but you make this game so that people like us can play it. I know you can change the game the way you find fit, it IS your 'baby', but don't you think that maybe you could ask for people's opinion about certain game related issues? After all, i don't think that you put all your time into developing this game solely to play just among yourselves with the developers, but for hundreds of people like us who enjoy the product of your hard work.
And, i would like to repeat my question, will the 1.0.4 be removed from the masterserver? If yes, when to expect that?
And a final note, i still find 1.0.4 is easier for its gameplay and smoothness. I think that all the new changes in 1.1 could have directly be implemented in the 1.0.4 without any change of gameplay (like weapon addition, weapon damage, additional armor etc.)
Thanks for reading!
