I've played far too much since the first day of 0.1, more than any other game. It's simply, amazingly, often literally... Awesome. I'm not sure how else to say it.
Criticism is necessary to help identify problems and it is a good thing overall, although I imagine it can be disheartening at times. There are many frustrations - aircraft balance, missile camping, longtoms, and more - that are complained of, sometimes loudly, but that's natural. It's much easier to pick out things we don't like than it is to praise what we do like incessantly. I think I can speak for all of us in saying that however much we may find less than perfect, and however vocal we can sometimes be about it, behind the criticism we love the mod regardless. It's like none other.
Thanks, Devs.
