it didn't take 1 week for a new patch to come out back then, it took 4 months. So the fast improvements and swift actions this "dev" team is taking is just wonderful to watch. And without any payment at all.

I was going to mention this but decided not to. I'm glad you did though. We have less tools, less knowledge, less manpower yet we're pushing out updates faster than the devs ever did.

Some people may accuse us (me mostly) of not being able to take criticism. That's not right to say. There's a big difference between opinion & suggestion versus blatant complaining and hate. It doesn't bother me if someone doesn't like a feature that gets implemented. Hell, I'm usually the first one that suggests "let's add an option to turn it on/off" because you want to cater to as many users as possible.

But when people like Dav3 and Sirhan come here with the sole purpose to complain and tell us we're killing the game and that we fucked up, it solves absolutely nothing. Pure complaints, never any suggestions or offers to help. Fact is, people like that don't know about the work being done. They don't know what it's taken these past 6+ years to get Assist to where it is today. Hell, I don't even know.

Yes, the SAI was a catastrophic mess but we're human and it was an easy mistake. Smoke helped ELiZ fix the issues and get new builds out. He was around the UScript scene back when it was the main method of coding mods & hacks back in the day. He knows a lot about UScript and said this to me the day we were testing the SAI and releasing fixes:

theres 2 other functions
that will eff up too
They call Mycontroller
which is set in post render
if ViewPortOwner.Actor and Viewportowner.actor.pawn are valid
which they arent if your dead
causing the CE
because even though it shouldnt
its trying to call SetFOV();

 ClearFriendsAtRoundEnd();

 ClearEnemiesAtRoundEnd();

Im saying its a simple mistake
That could be made by anyone
Something i've done dozens of times

I have no idea what that means but I know know that as a coder, everybody that writes code makes mistakes from time to time. Does it mean they're not good at what they do? Absolutely not.

We would have moved to 2.8.5 had it been possible. From what I remember the vast majority of users supported the idea which is why ELiZ put fourth so much effort in the first place.

He ran into a brick wall and his efforts weren't leaving enough time for his personal life so he dialed it down a few notches. From my standpoint, it was relatively quick for him to port the SAI and digital camo (fixing the bugs took the longest) and the users wanted it so why NOT do it? It's less reasons for the 2.8.5 fanboys to ignore this brilliant project. The only advantage they have is AI and that will likely change in the near future. The whole point of doing these updates is to get the whole AA2 community on a common ground instead of having the 2.8.5 players split off. All these updates are optional (maybe not the digi camo) so there shouldn't be any complaining.

Again, on the training, yea, it sucked to have to do it again but in reality it didn't take much time and I kind of doubt Jonny will implement something to "grant" players training, he would have done it already.



Before I lose my fucking head again, there's one thing all you players can do to help yourselves out. Come here often. Pay attention to the news. Pay attention to the discussion. You want a say in what's going on? Come here and be a part of it! Don't just come here afterwards to complain. Without you, the players, the game doesn't exist. Without us, the devs, the game doesn't exist. Let's work together to take this as far as it can go. Get involved, be patient and have some understanding. That's all.

It's also not our fault that there are campers, what can we do about that?

Actually, I might have an old mod somewhere that was a camper deterrent. I'll pass it to ELiZ & Possessed, see what they think of it.

Bye!

Please don't, that was one of the main things I hated about 2.8.x

I gotta say, this is a realistic thing, to be able to patch yourself up. However, it doesn't belong in the game. The gameplay in AA pretty much equates to a building raid. If the rounds lasted a lot longer, it might be worthwhile to implement this but that's not the case.

On snow maps like bridge the camo looks dark and can look similar to the enemy at a distance.

Have you tried playing the game on something other than low settings?

Dav3 if you actually came here and read the fucking forums for news and information instead of just coming here to complain, you would see that people requested larger font size and EVERYBODY has liked it.

Yea, I'm sure you would have donated. 

Killa nails it. We'd love to believe people, in fact, most people do tell the truth, it's just those few that ruin it for everyone. Thus, we kind of have to believe everybody is lying. I agree that it's just a meaningless number but some people like that number and will lie to get it. I've got nothing against you bunny, it's just the way it is unfortunately.
