Recent talks with Eskil....
The no-lag patch is out. Simply download and replace your old client from here. There is no bin update for this patch, but a new zip will be released with the new exe soon enough (check twitter updates for this). The recent fixes to both server and client include reduced latency, less server lag (the ai work SOOO much better), and everything feels a lot smoother.
It was exciting to finally have a real battle with some blue AI. They used Slug Rifles!!! for the first time in forever. Everything felt so right tonight. Rebalanced difficulties seemed spot on (no more insta-death Artillery shots). Progress has been restored (for all you grinders.....) and things seemed more fun all around. I asked Eskil about the flower+flower combination and he said, "I'll look in to that."
After much laughter and funny banter about uncommonly interesting server-side crap, Eskil asked if I'd "figured out the windmills yet?" Being my usual self, I assuaged his question with an "oh yeah! The wind explosive constantly going off next to the windmill for constant increased power output......" but that wasn't it. There's something ELSE. Then Eskil creeped around up there for a bit with things like "I don't want to spoil it....." and crap. Just as he was about to give us a hint, his internet started crapping out (LIKELY STORY) and I heard something like: "--ndmill rever--- ..... I'll just type it for you." Can you guess what he said?
...
Absolutely nothing. He dropped from the teamspeak channel. The End.
But really, I want to know. I want to make another podcast soon now that Love is interesting and all, so hang out on teamspeak. In the meantime, leave me some comments on what you think is up with the Windmills. Things are getting hot again.
