Yeah? What exactly do you know?

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

This isn't just a matter of improving efficiency, dude.

It seems to be working reasonably well so far. Graal is
built on player contributions. While I may not like most of the servers on offer, it's clearly true that many players
do.

Not only that, but you can't say that most developers take full advantage of the GS2 engine
|
I don't think I did. It's not even standard yet, and I'd say that less than half of all scripters have learned to use it. Even if they don't employ all of its functionality, they'll still be able to develop faster simply because GS2 is easier to use and more economical.

Why are you defending yourself with questions?

Hahaha. Oh, the irony.

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?

As opposed to what? We could do it through IMs, but if you're arguing extemporaneously then you're likely to spend even
less time thinking about your responses.

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

For the moment, I'm gonna ignore the fact that you don't seem to know what 'update' means and instead point out how irrelevant that is. Your overall claim is that Stefan's efforts are misplaced. The issue, then, is the worth of the things he's working on - not whether or not he's finished them yet. However you label them, they're still worthwhile projects.

I want actual client-integrated functions

Such as?

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
|
What kinds of exploits? What kind of 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?

Wait, are you backtracking now or do you still think that v4 doesn't actually exist?
