Probably, but right now that's not the case. If Stefan upgrades v6 tomorrow with new colors then there's still a lot of the playerbase out there running v5 at the same time.

so make it work on v6 but dont include it in the update patches until v6 goes final???????????????????????

That'd suck for us :(

v6 isn't even released yet. I think the current beta version is v5.3 or something like that. And of course they should only keep v6 in mind since it's the future and v5 will eventually be disabled completely. From a programing point of view it's very logical.

It's still a beta, meaning players shouldn't HAVE to update to a beta, thus shouldn't be stuck with broken features because of features a beta client is getting. Being stuck without new stuff is fine, being stuck with a broken "official current" client because of the beta client is not.

Also, regardless of the version name, we all know it's v6. Why'd you even bring that up? Even the thread is called "v6 beta." It's just not going to be named version6.0 until it's complete.

how? you cant actually expect worthwhile updates to come out for v5. this is stefan and team we're talking about.

but if it's possible for v6 then go for it, since they will eventually release v6 and it will be the only client available. :/

Because I'd like to see it before v6 final... because who knows when that will be?

As far as compatibility was concerned, I meant compatibility with the old colornames, not with v5. As far as I'm concerned as long as it doesn't break v5 players than it's no big deal. But if it DOES crash v5 users for some reason, I think v5 should be patched just enough to not crash, so we can actually enjoy the feature before 2020.

why u care, world ends in 2012 anyway

Ya it's not an original idea. It's been suggested so many times over the years.

I know, it's just a shame it took this long to finally get put into motion. :(

Just gonna leave this here...

That was the cutest bump I've ever seen :blush:

Based on Stefan's previous response I'm pretty sure it's going to be added, but not until the changeover from v5 to v6 is completed, because he can't add it while both versions are being used concurrently as it might cause problems for the v5 users.

i dont know why anyone is expecting this for 5, ofc it's going to be on 6 if it's being added
