everyone is welcome to play and share his opinion on the new gameplay/changes. no one is to be excluded and we want to make sure everyones voice will be heard. however, note that your opinion will weigh a lot more if youve actually tested the patch in more than a couple of games and can supply us with replay(s) in the best case to prove your claim/suggestion. it will carry even more weight if your claim/suggestion is supported by another player who is recognized in the community. with that being said, all changes made are up for debate, and new changes can be suggested.
can i ask which is the finality of the patch? its to fix bugs or change the whole gameplay because someone is boring about it? minor or major changes?
are you sure that the community want those changes, or are you doing it because is a whimp that can be realised?
i could understand that want to fix bugs, but im pretty sure that not all the community want huge changes. somebody said at the beginning than dont want a split, but obviously it is. are you going to reflex before send the final version or we all are going to suffer another horrible patch experience like that infamous 1.05?
well, it would be difficult to stop this whole patch thing now. and unlike thorongil, i wouldnt have started a patch project on my own. ive always wanted change and a new patch, personally. but have i started a patch project? not until now. the thing is, people approached me and asked me if it was possible to change bfme and test these changes. so i did that, and we were in a small group back then, just testing/experimenting for fun. but more people started having interest in potential changes, and now were testing those changes more in an official manner. its not finished, but the overall feedback we get is not bad so far.
i invite you again to join us and help us shape this patch. i mean, what do you expect me to do? do you think people will suddenly return happily to 1.06 if i just say i stop developing it?
the best resistance you can bring towards a new patch is to actually give it a try and say what you like/dont like. its unfortunate that many players want many changes and others want none at all, but theres room for reason and compromise.
to answer your initial question though, im positive that theres a bigger number of people who actually want changes, as we saw in the poll.
thanks for your words pallando, i think that you are working honestly and for sure doing a great work.
i wrote only to call attention over the responsibility to introduce big changes in the gameplay of bfme starting with a failed patch of ea (1.02 was only 6 months and developers changed most of it in the next 1.03).

on the other side i must recognise that you are going a great work leaving lot of people participate and express their opinion (but remember, that number never will be neither half of the community), and taking care about their opinion before put the last version to download.
ill put my comments about the patch in the correct forum, and as a friend told me, ill try to test it myself.
