I agree these were much much better, but I am in a minority there and they were not without their problems anyway.

As you point out - everyone is tending to look out for their own self interest. There are other indirect metrics we can look at other than relying just on player feedback. We also need to be aware of the explicate bias of listening to "good" duelists. Someones skill level does not make them...

I think perhaps I didn't use the right word when i talked about casual players. I was referring to the assumption that alot of people seem to have that the entire playerbase is their circle of friends plus other well known circles when in fact that it a small subset of the people who play. The...

Everyone needs to get it at the same time - otherwise you risk not getting meaningful feedback. We dont want to build an artificial difference between the enthusiast and the casual because if the enthusiast gets early access they are learning the new system and adapting to it and will have an...

And alot more who wouldnt make the effort. We cant just appeal to the hardcore enthusiast/the vocal minority. We need to reach out to the people who are more casually interested and dont go out of their way to be on the forums, or be on discord. There are alot of players who dont interact...

Then not everyone will be able to participate because they don't have the right launcher. It would be wrong to assume people will go out of their way to get a new launcher just to try it. We need to cast the net as wide as possible to include as many people as possible which means making...

It couldn't and cannot be up before the new launcher is done as the old one does not have the capability to deliver a beta version. Additionally, because of the way it was built it could not be extended to add the capacity. No one wanted to rebuild it, because it takes time away from other...

I mean its not that differnt from what is there now, so i dont know why people expect so much from it. But we will test it and i stand ready to eat my words.

Not exactly. Different people work on different things. It wouldnt have been right to hold up CTF when there were other things that differnt people needed to do to get Open Betas ready - namely launcher. Since you were not one of the two people who gave test feedback on internal beta launcher...

That is not true - and you know it.

As now then - no less than 4 weeks.

It will go to open beta when we are ready. There has never been a firm date and this kind of thing makes me wonder if it would be a better idea to go back to not talking about time scales at all. What needs to happen to get the open beta out is this: Finish new launcher Migrate all users to...

In the user info string it wont. It might be ppssible in other ways.

Space in the userinfo string is extremely limited and anything that uniquely identifies a player that is added by MB2 would be hidden as much as possible to prevent impersonation.

We wont be porting our code base to arm64.

1.03 sounds like Jedi Outcast not Jedi Academy.

Ok - I will rephrase that. We are not holding back some magic cure to the problem. We are not holding anything back which would be of any use to anyone else anywhere else

Both are true. We are not holding anything back and the protections in place for our infrastructure are uniquely tailored to our environment. Some of the utilities may or may not be used by other server hosts - and we have no way of knowing if what we have is any more effective than what anyone...

If we had anything that could help everyone we wouldn't keep it to ourselves. If this were a solvable problem in the generic sense then there would be as many blog posts and articles about it as there are about preventing SQL injection. Protections would be baked into operating systems and the...
