this is a really good game with definite room for improvement.
Only if John cares enough to update the game often, or just make one big update with most of the bugs/problems fixed.
A flash game multiplayer mode which is EXTREMELY precise without lag or glitches FOR FREE ain't going to happen.
Obviously not. But it is wise to polish a game before releasing its full version. Honestly, beta should have been up for about five-seven days. If he did that, people could have reported a lot of bugs/problems within the game and he could have possibly fixed them before releasing the full version of EP2. John rushed the game.
I actually wish the EP1 players would be less stubborn morons in terms of depreciating ep2.
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish by insulting people based on their opinions on a flash game. I guess I could label people who actually consider EP2 the best flash game uneducated imbeciles. Ah, however, I am not someone who takes joy in insulting people based on their opinions, unlike some people. I understand your discontent with some EP1 players who simply thrash EP2, and I might even know who you are specifically talking about, however, you should simply ignore them for their blatant bias. If they cannot give reasons as to why they dislike EP2 so much, then they are just another person jumping on the hate wagon.
Its stupid to whine about the differences instead of embracing them.
How? It's now considered stupid to think you're getting something mentioned a while ago, but it turns out completely different? How would you feel if someone told you they were going to give you a full glass of water when you're dying of thirst, but they only give you a teaspoon of water? You'll most likely be whining.
From johns perspective I would be kind of disappointed of a lot of ppl actually.
If I was John, I would have simply kept beta up longer, and fixed most of the bugs/problems before I released the game. It is best to polish up a game before posting it rather than posting an unfinished game. I understand he makes a living off creating games, however, I am not sure how much money he will receive from EP2 since it is not as expected. If he would have waited longer and polished the game up, I am sure he would have gotten more positive feedback about the game and would have more people purchasing exitPASS. I know for a fact, if it was how I imagined it would be, I would donate him some money. But I am not going to pay money for a few challenge levels and some flairs.
Nobody is appreciating that he put up some large new maps.
I appreciate the new stages. However, I am disappointed in most things about EP2 since it is an unpolished flash game. It is not how I, and many others expected it to turn out. It is a completely different game and does not even feel like EP. From how John described it over the past few months, it sounded much better. Most things have changed in the game and we did not even get notified about it, so you should understand the discontentment about this game.
That he improved the latency system
To me, this is absurd. From what I have played and whom I have played, most people lag in the game. Even in many threads, people are complaining about lag, and even at Ghosts chat people complain about lag. With all the things he added to the stages and how the hosts automatically lag, it did not reduce lag very much. If you have a great Internet connection, of course you will not have lag. However, if you do not have a top of the line Internet connection, it is likely you will have lag.
Private rooms which work perfectly fine
Private rooms are great. However, sometimes they do not function. I posted about this a few pages back, or in another thread. Often when I attempt to enter a private room, it throws me into another room. So no, they do not work perfectly fine.
EP2 is like Claudiodeusest aka CDE already stated hopefully getting a bunch of updates to pass its unfinished state.
If he actually considers updating it rather than abandoning it, it will turn out well. From its current state, it is not enjoyable to a lot of people.
From what John mentioned of ranks about a month ago, he stated that it will take quite a while to actually get to level eighty. About ten million EXP, if I recall correctly. But you see people getting there in a matter of two days, that is something I am disappointed in. I thought it was going to be more like people who actually go the extra mile to stand out will get there, however, anyone can get there by playing the game for a few hours in about two days. There are many other things I am disappointed in, if you care to read them, you can look a few pages back.
