Yeah, thats why its hard to keep motivated with it sometimes. People b***h like hell but never take the time to look at the website or experiment with the settings.
Even during the 1.3 BETA phase I hardly got any feedback directly - the only way I found out about bugs was reading through the chat logs.
I will probably run an invite only closed beta for the first phase of the next release. Having it open last time was a problem because most players didn't realise it was a TEST server and that they should expect bugs - they just bitched that stuff was different or broken.
For the tests I deliberately made the new features "on" by default so people would see that they were there but all you get for doing that is more bitching. Thats why the final relase had everything pretty much defaulting to "standard D3" settings.

All through the Q4/xbattle/q4max crap I was so glad I decided not to continue with Q4 EMZ; massive respect to AnthonyJ @ Q4MAX for putting up with all the crap and ignorance and for id Software for stepping up and investing so much time to fix Raven's problems.
Q4MAX has way more than EMZ ever could have done; AnthonyJ should work for a gaming studio IMO. He really understand the gaming AND the coding.
I bought D3 for £35 in August 2004 and have played or coded for it since then. Thats less than £0.03 a day - best value from a game ever!
