You really do need to beg for Wesp5 to come back and do this sort of thing for you. Say you are sorry or whatever it takes. You'll be glad of it in the end.
We have nothing to be sorry for. If anything, you should apologize for your own behavior. I will say that we are very proud of our ongoing success and we will continue to do our best work for the player community-at-large... which you, my friend, do not represent in the slightest. Over here, I see three or four malcontents, who have too much free time on their hands. Meanwhile, over on tessmage.com, I see a 794% increase in site traffic (downloads in particular) over the past few months. Yes, that figure was
seven hundred and ninety-four percent. Case closed. Both my mods and our patches are being downloaded like hotcakes. Those are the facts and I am delighted.
As entertaining as your off-topic opinions may be, they are worthless to this discussion. We have done our job, and the players are loving it so far. That is all that matters to me, and that is why I continue to pay money out of my own pocket to provide works like this one to the public. We have succeeded in our task, and have produced the finest patch available for VTMB that currently exists anywhere. It is a patch designed for people who wish to actually play VTM: Bloodlines... not some dumbed-down, bastardized and ez-mode hatchet job, filled with numerous inconsistencies and inappropriate content modifications.
We have created an actual patch -- not a mod. If you prefer mods, then by all means -- use them, but do so with the knowledge that you do not know how to properly play Bloodlines at all, thus your opinions about the game are invalid.
Why..? Because you have not been playing Bloodlines,
that's why. For over two years, you've been playing a destroyed version of Troika's masterpiece, which has been thoroughly infested with arbitrary and frivolous gameplay and content modifications. I hope you enjoy it. I personally do not... and neither do thousands and thousands of other players. That's why we worked our butts off to produce version 4.04AT. It's really a great piece of work, and one which remains faithful to Troika's intentions. In fact, it is currently the only patch of its type in the world, in that regard.
My purpose for posting this thread was to inform everyone of patch 4.04AT. Not only has that goal been realized, but news of our patch has also been posted on the main page of this website. Mission accomplished and thus, I will leave you to discuss it amongst yourselves. It's been fun exchanging barbs with you, but I honestly don't have any more time for it.
Take care and good luck, everyone. Over and out.
