Arch, if you're going to take a dig at me, at least choose something with some bite, man. The god complex thing's a bit old.


The reason we say you don't know anything is that you insinuate and insist you know what's going on. You do not. You spread what you think is going on, and it's wrong. It's that simple. Elgar was one of the first testers added to the private alpha; he's been an invaluable aid to our testing and we work with him every time he has issues. If you'd like, feel free to ask him. If you notice, even Gouru has stopped with his not using the Tank party line. Though I'm sure he'd tell users that he wish they didn't use LifeTank, maybe his issues with ElTank have been ameliorated. Gouru's been pretty damn busy, so I'm not sure if that's the case or not, but it certainly could be.


The only reason this is even an ISSUE is that Alpha 4 is broken because of some issues that Elgar found that we have fixed. These issues prevent anything other than amazingly simple HUDs from functioning due to a late night sign mismatch. And afterwards we had a massive codeshift from MCBS to Unicode (by me), and Checksum rewrote the hooking dll. As you can imagine, switching over to Unicode brought up some new bugs, and exposed some old ones. So an Alpha 4 refresh couldn't happen unless we got the tagged alpha 4 code, fixed it, tested it, and released that -- a bit of a nightmare, and we decided this was not a valid use of our time. Alpha 5 is looking much more stable and we've isolated the major issue users were having, so it should be out shortly.

Lately the only god complex I've sensed is coming from Arch trying to tell everyone he knows everything and how it really works.


Though I guess if Haz and Drak want we could make em demi gods, but they would have to improve their talking down to people to convince me.
