Lots of people are expecting alot from the next patch. But what are you really expecting for?

From my perspectibve, I'd like to see the official map editor, some Aeon fix and a GPGnet patch that would fix all these rating reporting bugs, and get new maps in the 1v1 ladder!

Ugh, the game reporting NEEDS to be fixed BADLY!!!! My web stats and online profile don't even match, and game reporting is wack.

I think they should also allow 2 people logged in from the same IP address to both play ranked games.

The patch is in the works and will be released as soon as possible.

I can assure you leaps and boncd have been made in regards to progress, and more progress is constantly being made, on a daily basis.

Please be patient.

more T2 use instead of rushing to T3

We're not allowed to discuss the patch details but I can assure you that there have been lots of changes and it's going to be a great patch.

From what I heard some folks have been chosen by GPG to beta test the patch or smthg.

[NexXus_]

Yeah there are a bunch of people who are testers for the patch. I am also expecting some major balance changes.

As in Aeon v Cybran. =p

And UEF buffs for players who do that faction.
