    i would say this is due to lack of mapvariety and lack of ranked teamgames ... as PA is now it loses its novelty quite fast and yes this can also be due to using and seeing the same unitcompositions over and over for some people ... there are a couple things i still would like to be added or changed ...

    the other problem i see is PA not getting enough exposure ...
    how many people cast games ..
    how many do streams ...
    how many people can be get intrested in watching and playing PA ..
    how can PA be made more watchable ...

    what we as a community generaly want is people coming back for more PA
    and not forget about it ...

    jables explicitly said that's what they were working on.

    If the release of elements are stepped compared to the work they're getting from devs, that ain't something to pick up on, that's the way life works :


    you hear they're working on something then two months later (or something) it comes out. you can't expect to see a change in something when they're working on it.

    So you dont care at all about all the visible results of work done on multiplayer-elements and point at a single statement hinting at improvements in an area that had no real improvements since a year or so.

    the results?

    you mean everyone leaving?

    oh yeah that !

    sarcasm aside, I personally believe FINALLY having balance fixes and FINALLY having some MP is quite a nice breath of fresh air.

    but that doesn't detract from the fact that they said "no rank", "no global chat", "no PAstats integration". ANd these things are what's hurting PA the most.

    Had the ladder and balance been added to multiplayer any sooner we might have more people to enjoy MP with. but if they'd add rank global chat and PAstats we may yet see a return.

    Huh? Guess that was nothing officially announced then?
    I wonder what they have planned for it...

    it was a tiny hint that basically guaranteed nothing.

    "I've never seen someone work so hard at being so lazy."

    Applies to most good programmers I think ;)

    I may have read into it too much.

    I'm very positive it was meat to hint at something definitive.
