I wanted to try and word it in a way that made it clearer what I meant, but I couldn't.

This is a really terrible way to put it, but I wasn't referring to specifically the end-user experience.

I meant the game as a whole. Like, as its existence as a game.

also the FPS argument is fairly invalid considering you can (and will always be able to) turn the features off and get the same (or at least roughly the same) FPS you'd get in pre-v21 BL

i guess you're referring to how those users can't enjoy shaders and the update is worse for that user specifically because they lost a feature and can't use a gained one by saying that though? yeah, that's p unfortunate

vehicle physics are one of the good things about terrain i was talking about. i completely agree there.

The internet, bbc boards, and usenet (not trying to be hipster, edgy or condescending here, though somepeople might read it that way.) were relatively okay before the unsophisticated masses showed up to clog up the 'net.

which are people whom have no clue about computers, networks, or the nature of the internet.

there was no so-called cyber bulling in the open before. nobody blew it out of loving proportion, you should be ashamed for even taking that term seriously.

the fps argument is pretty valid because while you get the fps back you don't get a decent fort wars terrain map that isn't a bunch of stuffty gsf islands back.

lol that's not a problem with the game, that's a problem with the userbase

in some cases that kind of argument may be valid (i.e., in other games)

but in this one you can't blame the implementation of performance-reducing shaders+removal of interiors and terrain for the host's lack of ability to build a decent map

on a related note it'd be great if people started exchanging saves as if they were maps now. the gamemodes system allows for this.
