I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this concept... which I guess is a good thing? Maybe?

NVM, false alarm. Refreshed a see a new announcement thread now.

There's still some claims on slack that it's appearing when it shouldn't tho

@artch All good, I know o4 was commenting about squishing bugs. Just wanted to make sure this thread didn't get lost in the shuffle

This is still an issue... I can't use the alpha map because my creeps and structures match the plains color

I think most would just be happy with a blog post with change notes. Don't need big announcements for everything.

As was already said it would fracture an already small community. There's some discords out there for individual servers but slack is and will remain the "official" chat platform.

A small example of a missed opportunity was the bugfix that went out yesterday for seasonal regarding collectors being walkable. Most of us assumed that was intended, and a few wrote code to make use of it (with guards, etc..) so when the "fix" was put in it broke some code and wasn't discovered until o4 commented on slack.

If you can't get to RCL3 in the first safemode you need to look at your code and not look for handholding. Even with a novice/respawn zone, code at that level will not last on a competitive shard such as seasonal.

@nobodysnightmare This is actually more receptive than usual unfortunately...
