Hi again, talking about whining people, it's a natural reaction towards no matter which release meant to criticize negative sides or point a finger to a possible change meant to improve that release, and if i was a critic and want to criticize a newer version, i would point my finger and cover over the whole word that say (2.4), IF i wasn't appreciating the work it took to be released!

Second, why would someone care what newbies whines without knowledge, why won't we disregard such whines and consider pro's ones, why would someone care that people have life issues nowadays or they found better game, what if they found better games due to the fact that (E+ sucks) now and they believe in it and say it inside those other games?

Noticed that all pro's (or call them who know more about in-game) agree and speak the same unanimously, they directly and indirectly say that [1.03 > 1.03+], which is on behalf of everyone, while newbies might still see no difference, since they will never feel or understand the meaning of smoothness, precision and stability.

Summarily, we have multi cfgs that we consider one of them the best, then why not, why would other's inactivity or other games or other's life issues be a reason not to change?

What if 1.03 was they key behind their absence? ever we thought that?

Please please, lets mind the question of the poll first.
What is your favourite e+ mod.

Excepting the misspell, favorite means to be in the top for alot of things. But primary its a personal vote and will be subjective. Therefor, whatever the poll result will be the winner should not be considered in anyway the "best" e+ mod.

For example: when i voted for 1.03/1.04 i was also thinking about, my experiences in that moment vs other version moments, also my e+ friends/mates, my games, others games, my fun time, the playing community and my reasons to find it favorite.
Was it also the fact that i was not involved in the forum community much and i had free time to play the game? YES

So i assume that most of you also voted regarding your best personal experience, doing so a more rather subjective vote then a objective, conclusive one.

So death to the new versions and omg new version is not liked by anyone, is again not a conclusion from this poll.
The only thing i can see from this poll notable is that we still have more veterans here then we have new ppls.

well the question is clearly which is your favourite, not which is best (to which i doubt many know enough to answer). personally i think they both have pros and cons, which outweigh eachother in importance
i should hope ppl understand the word favourite by now without needing it explained but i see your point, just sounds defensive.

all you can take from the poll is that a particular version received the most votes as favourite by those who bothered to vote (for whatever reasons).
ofc there are no winners of this poll, just like a survey.

however i disagree that votes or more importantly comments that are not for the 'new and improved' version doesn't mean it cant be considered perhaps worse. it may certainly be better from a technical standpoint, but if the majority say the gameplay feels broken for them, then in that regard it probably isnt better or should at least be acknowledged.
perhaps a subjective opinion matters when one of the aims should be to please the userbase
because ofc you could make it 100% bug free, feature rich, smooth and accurate, but at the same time impossible to play. it may be 'better' technically, but still worse for a players perspective. what is the goal (to please/to work)

now im thinking pointless crap again, thanks

I didn't vote, because I doubt that any release has that great impact on the game or difference than the other to a level that makes one care, except of course for the added features.. Maybe I am not that old here to decide as I don't remember which release I started with, probably 2.1 or 2.0 but the reason makes me decide is that during the past I tried installing more than one release locally and experienced not a great difference at all.. so I doubt that what makes the feel of game differ by time is the operating systems change and hardware change, server sides configs, hardware of server machines change.. operating systems, compatibilities and so on.. in addition to internet speeds and the great difference in speeds of the connections of players..

One very weird thing is that I used to suffer from great shooting blocks and rails go through or hitting only if I would shoot near target, etc types of lags in the previous release, and all that went much less within the new release, however, started to see many people complain about same issues I had in the previous release that they had with the new release of which I didn't.. except for since around a weak all that lags went back.. so the issue either can be much more than to speak about a point release here.. or much more simple to be solved than that as well.
