Well, the moment many of us have waited for - and no few of us dreaded - has arrived. "The patch" for TFC from Valve has hit the community, and to read the PF Forums, it’s creating quite the ruckus - to say the least. To put it mildly, Tot is rather disgusted with the reactions from entirely too many members of the community. Actually, disgusted might be too mild of a word to use, to be honest. By looking at the timestamps on the forums from some of the posts bitching about it - it seems that all too many people played for an hour, perhaps 2 - that then ran pell-mell to whine, moan, bitch and complain that it sucks, etc. Well, lemme tell you something - if you haven’t put in a good, SOLID 4-6 hours of playing with the patch, on different servers, in differing conditions - you don’t know the REAL deal with it. Now, I’m not saying it’s perfect - far from it, cause I’ve alredy encountered some annoying "issues" with it, that I’m told were NOT present in the playtester versions. Anyhow, you know what this means, don’t you?
Yes, the TFC Reform Project comes out of hibernation again. Here is Tot’s battle plan with this thing:
1) I will be making a "laundry list" of all the issues from the previous version. What I’m looking for, is people that are willing to help us all out, by going thru the list, and testing to see if each of them has been addressed. Once that is completed, I’ll update the list of issues, because of....
2) with the introduction of TF1.5, a few brand-new issues have been introduced. I will be making a completely seperate section for TF1.5. Hopefully, we can get cracking on this, and strike while the iron is still hot, and Valve is still in the mood to deal with problems with the mod.
What does this mean? It means I’m looking for bug submissions for stuff you have found in TF1.5. If you wish to support this effort, drop me an email detailing the issues you have found, and please title it "TF1.5 bugs". I don’t want to hear your whining, bitching, moaning or complaining in these submissions - I’m anticipating a veritable flood of email on this matter. If you want to send your usual flames, comments abuse, use another subject line. People who fail to follow directions may be subject to public ridicule on the Fort, for all the world to see that you cannot pay attention to detail.
The next few days should see quite a few more posts here on the Fort, and TF1.5 fever takes hold, with it’s attendant insanity. And with luck, soon another honourable Warrior will join the ranks here at Fort Bundy. I won’t say anything else, as I prefer to let them do their own introduction once they do come onboard - but I WILL say that I’m pumped about having this Warrior join the cause here.
