Blow darts seem REALLY OP. Wonder how they will work out.

How are you complaining about updates? This is awesome having so many of them. Who cares about a little downtime

There will be a very meaningful difference between a "Throw Away Alt" on the battlefield and one that has invested what is required to use poisons.

I don't think many do. This doesn't mean that a little talk about the merits of demerits of patch day can't be had

Pilgrim nailed it. We would actually 'prefer' we get all the crashes and issues out in a short period of time thus freeing us up to develop instead of having 'awkward' times when the server crashes and it takes hours for us to get it back up.

Screenshot of skybox looks wonderful. Adds a ton. Can't wait to log in and see it!
Thanks for the new patch, always look forward to exploring new things. Well done.

I'm still trying to figure out what the skybox being left in means.

That makes good sense also.

Keep in mind that I am unsure if the custom clients are going to show it or not. But they should 'work' at least. You may just have to wait until they update their clients before you see it.

There's a tradeoff to both approaches. And if JC etc... have full time other jobs during the week then yes - weekend patches are best. But at somepoint when you are heavily marketing game - you don't want to be crashed when most new players are trying it out - or crashed at the peak time when people want to play.

I'm not - or not intending to at any rate. I love the updates. I'm suggesting that as we move out of beta - tolerance for server being down during peak usage (weekends) will diminish.
