Before you go, could you post some of the glaring IMBA?
I'm curious.*
1: CP gap between noobs/veterans. Still an issue, but being worked on.
- Not a big deal IMHO, the hell with the noobs. It's honestly annoying to see people complaining about the CP gap. Play some games!! Who cares if you lose, you still get CP, and eventually you'll be able to fight back. Why the heck should I lose to a new player when I've had a company rolling for a month. In reality I'd have more practical leadership experience and more seasoned soldiers, so I'd win there and in the game I ought to see the same result. But note, the reason for winning is more about leadership experience (a.k.a strategy/tactics) than experienced soldiers. The best damn soldier in the world does nothing without an order.
2: RRs. that was "fixed" to a large extent.
It doesn't matter what the heck was 'fixed' eventually something else goes out of line, then an overcompensating balance move is made. The balance team is on hallucinogens or something here. I really dislike the way the mod is balanced, which is why I hope to wait until it is DONE being balanced, and when I play it I don't need to worry about some stupid game breaking changes being put in by a 'team' (i prefer to call it a group, since 4-5 guys is a pretty small team) of people who seldom plays, save Unkn0wn, who practically was denied his public dev status.
3: Whiners and idiots: well, they are everywhere. EVERYWHERE!!! For every Einstein, there is a Bush. And the amount of idiots on this forum is still less than the # of devs.
But they definitely need to institute something like a 5-day ban on these forums for people like that.

WRONG! There are more whiners and idiots on this forum than a team fldash would dream of recruiting, there are a LOT of people. The community had a couple of resident morons that we all knew since the early alpha, but the number has expanded quite a bit to the point where I am no longer willing to even log on to TS or read the forums sometimes. Discussions used to be based around balance, involved quite a bit of thinking, and never had this 'bitching about the game' component being displayed outright. Then again, the dev team didn't make completely unexpected and major changes out of nowhere.
Are the IMBA things unit-related, or simply a flaw with the persistency?It's really hard to tell what's imba now, since the devs and community can't seem to stop changing the stats and prices of units. Most imbalances result as a part of the persistence system. It's going to take time to get that system to a level where i can digest the results of it, that's when I'll return.
The mod was great and will be great, otherwise I'd say piss on these forums and the game and never return, but I love the idea and always have. The final vision is more important, sometimes, than the struggle you go through to get there.
Also, Acker if someone doesn't like the mod, they shouldn't have to argue their point to 'prove' something to you. They don't need to prove shit to anyone, it's their OPINION. Everything is an argument in these forums.
This is also an important chance for me to say something personal to the dev team, particularly Ucross and Forefall: It is incredibly inappropriate to behave in the manner you guys do in these forums sometimes. It's really unprofessional to insult members of your community and act like omniscient assholes when discussing an issue. Now you are simply 'looking into' issues - great, no dialog with the community so we can really expect ourselves to mean anything, but at least we don't have to see your obnoxious comments when we make our own thoughts public. It's really
pissed me off how the dev team has become completely disconnected from the community. Quit living in your dream world, you've got a silver wrench from ModDb, not the MoTY Award, 2007. It was the same damn thing that pissed me off with red orchestra's devs too. They'd act incredibly condescending when a change was to be debated and players were critical of their changes. People never criticize someone to be an asshole when they're talking about a change. They're trying to help, and being an asshole to your community while they're expressing the way they want to feel is really, really, inappropriate.
