It requires a culture and attitude shift. It requires leadership disciplining people who constantly cause development issues, not just say they're going to especially when words no longer work. One dev has been repeatedly scolded for not listening to simple development guidelines (Such as not lumping 50 changes in a single commit/branch) and not listened for more than half a decade and through 3 project leads. Repeatedly has acted like the victim when Defiant or I has had to go delete portions of a commit, even after being warned for years not to do that. Yet no actual discipline has occurred except for like 3 commits being partially reverted in the past 5 years.
Leadership needs a spine, and to say NOTHING is getting released if its all merged together in an "all or nothing" style, if new components/features do not have written design documents discussed by the entire team. To say that a feature/idea does not get merged if it wasn't a part of the agreed upon plans/meetings for that release (no more last minute scope creep) and actually execute on that. If you're a developer unhappy with stuff getting reverted because you didn't discuss it as a team, or because you made management more difficult by combining it with unrelated things (think government mass spending bills vs single item bills) then you need to check yourself and not be mad at leadership or the rest of the team.
Culture needs a shift, where people realize that even though this is a free, volunteer project, it still in at least some ways needs to be treated similarly to a job. We generally have a list of features that people can work on at any given time. They can choose which of those features they want to do, and they can propose new one but that new one may not instantly get top priority. Its pretty lenient, but sometimes for little bits here and there you're probably going to have to work on things that are not your top choice or something that was your idea. It is a team effort, and very few (I would say none honestly) who comes up with a good idea can execute 100% of that idea. Sometimes your latest brilliant idea might have to wait a release or two to get through the backlog kinda thing. We drastically need to get through our backlog, its way too large and spans more than a decade of ideas at this point.
There is a whole plan I have for reworking vehicles and in particular space battles in JA/MB2, but I realize that those dreams would have taken years to get through the backlog. It didn't mean I suddenly prioritized it over other things (Though I did make some concepts to limit test which is fine) or asked others to prioritize it.

Can we vote you out of the game? Or at least the forums? I'm fairly certain the entire remaining playerbase would vote "yes"

For what crime ?
as if anyone care about your pathetic harassment on me. animal behaviour at best...
100%...
If I ever could have had the opportunity to speak without having an army of monkey discrediting me for the past years (And yes I am not what these horde of crazies described me to be)
I'm sure I would have had the chance to help atleast from a distance.
But looking at thing, who would spend the energy ? Devs are having issues with themselves, and community is just the paroxysm of disrespect.
There are a few individuals that we see sometimes post and express, their post get sink quickly, or without a reply (devs or players).
Cleaning starts from the ground up...

Yes, you’re absolutely right. Help from a distance VERY FAR. Like, Nibiru-level far. That way, your "help" can’t even be mistaken for anything remotely useful

Arrête un peu ton cinéma, tu ne fait peur à personne. Non seulement tu passe pour un idiot mais en plus tu chie sur ton propre jeux. Il serait temps de grandir un peu, c'est pas la cour de récréation ici.
As always, you guys brain power only able to monkey dance around me.
No shit the devs don't do much when I see you I understand why

El cerdo doméstico, es un mamífero sensible y omnívoro de la familia de los suídos. Llamado cerdo o cochinillo, ha permanecido cercano al jabalí con el que puede cruzarse.
El cerdo doméstico tiene 38 cromosomas. El jabalí solo tiene 36, debido a una fusión ancestral. Su descendencia común es fértil. El híbrido se llama cochonguapo o sanglochon. Los híbridos de primera generación tienen 37 cromosomas. Luego pueden tener 36, 37 o 38 cromosomas. La hibridación es común en las regiones de cría de cerdos al aire libre o cuando la población salvaje se ha restablecido por hembras de cerdos domésticos cubiertas por un macho jabalí. De esta manera, el jabalí corso es genéticamente muy cercano al cerdo doméstico. Esta práctica es habitual durante períodos de guerra.

Your points make sense to some extent, but with the current team and the independence of individuals, I doubt it’s achievable.
I completely agree with you here. Over half the feedback we’ve provided has been ignored. What’s even more frustrating is that when we started raising the same issues again after the release of R20, we were met with accusations like, “Why didn’t you give us feedback?”
When the patch dropped, we lost a significant number of players, something we backed up with statistics. Despite this, when I continued pointing out problems supported by data, screenshots of conversations with players from our Discord, and direct feedback, one developer responded by calling me “an angry dog who hasn’t contributed anything to the community and only criticizes our work.” This is ironic, considering that for over a year, I’ve been running one of the biggest open hubs with scrims alongside a small group of others—but that’s beside the point.
Tempest’s response was essentially that it’s just “that time of year,” implying the player loss had nothing to do with the patch, which they still claim is “brilliant.” Others echoed similar sentiments: Unguided said the drop in hours played (tracked as daily hours spent on MB2 servers) from 8 weeks to just 24 hours wasn’t a big deal (on the EU side). Tempest added that “people have jobs, families, and kids,” which makes it laughably ironic that, apparently, within one or two weeks, over half the community bought houses, planted trees, and started families.
At one point, I realized I had been quite harsh in my criticism, so I decided to take a different approach. I gathered a group of experienced programmers (10+ years of experience) to help fix some of the issues. And what response did we get? “No, because you’ve said mean things about us, criticized us, and now we’re sad about it.”
So here we are, left with Frenzy (a sensitive mapper) who’ll likely drag John and Defiant into fixing the code. Honestly, I doubt the rest of the team is capable of much in that department.
Is there nepotism involved? Absolutely! Everyone knows that the fastest way to become a developer is through Frenzy. A prime example is Eksha (a good friend of mine and genuinely talented programmer) who got in simply because he told Frenzy his maps were good or agreed with him on certain topics.
Another example is NPC, a person tasked with providing feedback on game balance. This nomination is downright laughable, especially considering that most EU players strongly dislike him. Those who don’t probably just don’t know him. My proposal was simple: add two people to the balance feedback position—one from NA (fine, let it be NPC if they insist) and one from EU.
The reasoning here is straightforward: players are much more likely to communicate with someone they know. Otherwise, we’ll remain stuck in a situation where a large chunk of EU players won’t provide feedback about the game. And as we know from experience, Europe has some of the best open-mode players.
Moreover, assigning someone who isn’t particularly skilled at the game to a position related to game balance is, at best, questionable. There are far better candidates for the role on NA servers alone—for example, Mike or Sandy would be great options.
Jesus, Valkyrie… still sucking up to the developers and trying to influence duels? It’s been proven countless times that you have some serious personal issues. If you want to have any say in balancing duels or the game in general, you should at least be able to play well and understand the game mechanics. All you do is send private messages dictating that people play without this or that mechanic, or without slaps, and if someone doesn’t follow your arbitrary rules, you ban them.
Just looking at how you operate is enough to make people avoid you—you’ve even banned people on Sentinel just for their presence (and yes, there’s video evidence of this). Or how about your infamous tantrums when someone leaves for the Jedi clan because they’re tired of you? Breaking your hand or other body parts out of frustration certainly isn’t helping your case.
If you genuinely want to contribute to the community, then why can someone as young as Leons create a launcher with multiple game versions? Why are duelists actively testing betas, providing tons of feedback (even Kvinto is contributing)?
Meanwhile, what are you doing? All you do is spin developer narratives, pat them on the back for whatever they write, and try to play the victim role you’ve assigned to yourself. I’d understand if you were an outstanding duelist, but you’re not. You’re the type of person who wants to be seen as the perpetual victim, all while alienating others with your attitude.
You claim to want to help, but the reality is that you only push for bans or superficial changes. You want to become a “specialist” on everything so that only your opinion is considered valid. As Bob and others have said: go sit in the corner and reflect on yourself.
But honestly, in your case(and I won’t go into detail unless you really make me angry)you might need some genuine help from a third party.
I’ll also add this:
even Bob, whom you dislike so much and constantly try to degrade to the “monkey level” you mention (which makes you no different from what you criticize), contributes more to this game by creating a good map.
For that reason, I will always have more respect for him and will treat him with decency, despite the differences between us. I would never call him a monkey because, no matter what, part of me will always have some sympathy for him.

I thought atleast this would be based on like 1% of fact and enriched with bullshit
Well it's just raw bullshit.
How saddening to imagine and read how I am misunderstood, misperceived, it's so much fun to be the "just bully this one it's evil anyway"
It's also what you do, you listen to anything said and make up your mind on people you never interacted with ? you believe your bestie cuz he told you that fact.
First time seeing a video without context ? Do you live in the same society as we all do or are you recently born ?
thats just 4 - 5 years of manipulation but you see where i stand, looking at how much influenced everyone litterally is, all I can do is just tell you "think on your own, don't listen what your bestie tell you" the amount of people that believe things they haven't whitness, should speak enough about this... Can you name a single person that lived to see any harm I could possibly have done ? (Yes I banned players from my game servers, do you want their list of sins that actually is massive? Bans were always made in approval with my clan council (in case it matters, im not some ermit living on an hill side)
you don't get it ? it became a sport to lie on my name and make absolutely every harm one can imagine be coming from me...
It's very likely the biggest success some wannabe psy criminal would hope for, that the people harming me have achieved. An actual, multi generation (players transmit to new players and so on, losing track on what even is the origin) harassment.
like as always, my hand is perfectly fine, and I have as usual, not a single clue the heck you can be thinking I have done ?
Yes im ze evil, clearly
In general I avoid being in public sphere, I avoid giving an oppinion, and I only do if I believe it can ring curiosity, if thats an issue to you, feel free to block me... (Crazy what I can read)
I don't need to publicly mention what I contributed, I have my lot of software dev, and problem solving that Iam proud of. I appreciate the offer, but I don't need you to daddy me for what I do, very kind to mention the child, if only they could discipline into being civilised
because yes, im just a normal player like anyone, and ignored by moderators because why ? I wonder, I'd just like to be left alone, exactly in that corner you mentioned, not having to worry about harass like I receive on every of my post, as I am often told : block and ignore, so I suggest you do the same for me instead of being this smart....

If you are ever to be trusted, why do you keep denying stuff like it never happened? Ailex leaving your clan has caused you to become a total psycho, tell everyone that joining a specific server will cause them to get doxxed and DDoSed while in ur clan chat & DMs you were on a psycho rant claiming "I BROKE MY HAND" "IM GONNA BREAK MORE STUFF".
Alright, I’ve read what you refer to as a response or retort, and honestly, I expected more from you. From my side, you’re about to experience those lies firsthand—because why not? So, please, since I trust you’re intelligent in some way, when you address a topic or respond to something I’ve said, make sure to quote the entirety of my words and not just a minimal excerpt.
With that in mind, I’ll now proceed with my reply, so you might want to take some calming pills in advance—because this time, there’s no leniency.
A very interesting approach. To be completely honest, I expected a victim-like stance somewhere towards the end of your reply, but fine, let’s leave it as it is.
As for your assumption that I’m here to harass or stalk you in some way—my answer is NO. I’ve been part of this game for 20 years, I’ve seen a lot, and what you’re doing is a genuine display of human foolishness.
Starting with the narrative you’re building—that someone commissioned me to target you, or that I’m doing this because it’s “trendy”—it’s laughable. Your own behavior led to this, your idiotic decisions, and the way you destroy other duelist communities. And no, no one had to tell me about you for me to know who you are.
It’s quite interesting that you don’t seem to understand the context of the video or the behavior I’m referring to, especially considering you’re the main actor in it! But alright, if your memory is short, no problem—watch it yourself and refresh your mind:
Moreover, your passive-aggressive jab, asking if I live in European society, is frankly laughable. I could easily ask you the same question—and in fact, I will. But take a moment to think about your answer. I’ve known you under a different nickname—Garth. I still remember when you were kicked out of BG for the nonsense you pulled there, so even though I’m not actively involved in tracking the chaos you’re creating, I highly doubt any of this is untrue.
I’ll approach this with constructive criticism from now on, and I’ll give you a reference point for everything I mention because your memory seems to be quite unreliable, and you clearly need help thinking things through. This isn’t just 4–5 years of manipulation; you’ve been a source of trouble from the very beginning.
As for your laughable comment asking whether I can name someone you’ve hurt (assuming we’re still talking about MB2), the answer is yes—I can. But I’ll address that later on. Also, stop spouting nonsense about how every new generation of players targets you because older players “warn them about you.” The reality is, you deliver plenty of new content for them to criticize every year. This isn’t some one-off incident—it’s a pattern.
Alright, if your "hand is healthy as always," I’m genuinely glad to hear it. That being said, you should have no trouble giving us a thorough response to all these so-called baseless accusations. Let’s start by revisiting the first link I’ve already shared with you:
How do you think such behavior reflects on someone supposedly "mature and grown-up"? Let me give you a hint—it reflects very poorly. So here we already see the first example of dishonesty: avoiding the topic and running away from addressing the issue.
Alright, nobody forced you to step up here, so perhaps I’m missing something. You understand the reactions you provoke in others and claim not to like or want to engage socially because of it. So what’s the larger purpose behind your posts? Saying you want to "attract attention" seems odd and doesn’t align with what you say.
You don’t want drama, you don’t want to be accused—fine. But let me explain how this comes across with a simple anecdote:
“Greg doesn’t like being bitten by ants in the forest, but he goes and sits on an anthill in the forest, and the ants bite him.” That’s literally how your explanation sounds to me.
Now, let’s move on to a more interesting topic: your contributions to the game beyond the Sentinel community. Honestly, I can’t name much else, and I doubt many others could either. If anyone can, let them quote it and share it with me, because I’d genuinely like to know.
So far, all I’ve seen is your inability to address technical problems and your tendency to delegate them to others (e.g., screenshot). If you can solve them, here’s a simple question: why doesn’t Sentinel have a rank system yet? How is it that Li'Kima, who stole your code and did nothing with it, has this system implemented on their servers?
As for the image I’ve linked, even if other servers copy your settings, what does it matter? How can it even be considered “stealing” when it’s not your intellectual property to begin with?
And saying something like “it would be nice if those kids were more polite and civilized” is a low blow—or, if you prefer, like smashing someone in the knees. If they’re making fun of you or treating you like a fool, it’s because they see your reactions, which are the equivalent of a raging monkey’s behavior (screenshot).
It’s not surprising that moderators ignore you—in fact, it’s entirely normal because only a fool would take advice from someone so furious. I don’t even need to lurk around for screenshots or YouTube videos to prove this; the ones I’ve already shared are more than enough. And if they’re not, oh well—I’m not as clever as I thought.
Or perhaps you’re only saying that because you already know I’m willing to invest time in research and crafting strong responses?
Now that I’ve fully and constructively responded to your ramblings, it’s your turn to dedicate some time and answer mine. You keep claiming that you want to contribute to the greater good of MB2, fully participating in the only exclusive and legitimate chat for duel patch discussions—the Tempest Discord. And yet, even there, you can’t maintain a shred of dignity (screenshot).
You supposedly strive to be a civilized person contributing something meaningful to the community. But all you bring is more insults, more personal attacks—even targeting family members—and utterly ridiculous behavior. Towards whom? A child? You’re laughable!\
Besides, the official Discord also has a feedback channel, so I’m not sure why that one would be considered less important, less exclusive, or anything of the sort—but fine, let’s leave it at that. A hint of uncertainty always adds a bit of intrigue.
It has been proven that you ban players who are better than you, and the best example of this is RogueWookie (link). So once again, refresh your memory. You also claimed to have super secret tools for detecting cheaters. By the way, it’s curious why these tools aren’t made available to most server owners to help eliminate cheaters—after all, that could only contribute positively.
What’s even more amusing in this whole situation is that Wookie even uploaded a video defending himself. All you had to do was say "sorry, I was wrong," and it would have been over. But your inflated ego was too big, so you continued to lie until the next discord conflict with American players (screenshot). Kudos to you! I won’t even mention all the posts—anyone can see them for themselves, but the level of absurdity and nonsense has definitely been reached. I truly admire your level of foolishness.
Alright, at least you’d be more critical of people using cheats or ruining the game. However, we have the exact opposite situation. Take the well-known amateurz, who has been caught using DDoS attacks (screenshot), and who even admitted it on Discord—somehow, he’s not banned. What’s even more surprising is that he’s actively involved in the Sentinel clan (screenshot).
I’m sure you can find even more information about this on the forum, but you must remember—after all, you actively defend him from the “evil” Jedaii clan. What you say and what you do are completely contradictory. You claim one thing, but it’s the opposite.
You’ve really burned all your bridges in this community. It seems you’ve destroyed every possible connection you could. As I mentioned earlier, but it seems it didn’t get through to you, maybe you should look for a really good specialist, perhaps a psychiatrist, who can help you work through your personal issues, which are clearly affecting you. There’s more evidence, and I could still write a lot more, but I’ll spare you. This is enough; I’ve already spent way too much time on this.
