The thing is, I
do know some of what GS2 is about. To say I don't would be wrong. I will concede I'm not a scripter, though, and probably don't appreciate the updates as much as a scripter might. Therefore, I can relate to the average player.

Not necessarily; however, tilesets are alot more in-your-face than NPC scripts. The average player doesn't care if an NPC works a little bit faster or slower due to an improvement. They do care if there are glaring tile errors.

In doing this, you are
depending on people you don't even know to improve the game for you. Not only that, but you can't say that most developers take full advantage of the GS2 engine, nor can you say that the "interesting content" replaces the need for more client software updates.

Why are you defending yourself with questions? Maybe its an integrated part of your argument style, but it is also ineffective. If you're talking purely to me and don't wish to have any sway on anyone else's opinion, why are we doing this on a public forum?

If it's not finished yet, then it's
not an update yet.

It amazes me that you continue this argument without even knowing what GS2 can do. What kind of "interesting additions" do you want?
|
I want actual client-integrated functions. I think that it is a horrible mistake to integrate RC into the client and to integrate many client features into scripts stored on the RC. It opens the door for exploits or abuse.

I haven't seen signs of the purported "multi-layer" level system either (which WOULD have an astounding effect on Graal). What exactly are the improvements they are beta testing?
