Everlast, let me give you my favorite quote from a great man named Perry Cox, "People are bastard coated bastards, with bastard filling." I repeat this quote to say no matter what happens people will find something to bitch about. When the 1.5.x pack is released, in beta form or no, people...

I truly do not understand this stance that the mod devs or modpack authors have a responsibility to inform or work at a pace the community desires or dictates. I'm really baffled. Don't get me wrong I was up in arms when the mod pack didn't come out on the deadline given by slow. However, if...

You are correct they could ignore all bug reports so an open beta wouldn't fix anything either. All it would do is clog up the forums with people bitching about a modpack or mods to people who are not listening. Kinda like what we have now. Open forums where a lot of comments aren't about how...

Everlast, I wasn't throwing ANYONE in any bag. I am simply stating that a TON of comments in an open beta will be terse, short and not provide any quality feedback. The comment you are quoting is an EXAMPLE of a post during an open beta. There are many more, read this thread for instance, and...

It's comforting to know people jump to conclusions like you did. I never said I care more about the forums than the game and, frankly, I don't see where you make that leap. I believe the crux of your comment is based on this statement, "I would never suggest they have an open beta program...

One of the things I keep seeing is people stating a desire to or questions why there isn't a beta testing program for the modpacks. This is an excellent idea for FTB to really consider. I would never suggest they have an open beta program because, IMHO, most people do not have an idea what...

Your example is apples to oranges. Developers for the XBOX have contracts, publishers, deadlines, SLA's and all the other stuff that goes along with getting a title out for Hardware release. The devs for these mods aren't paid, have not contacts, publishers, SLAs or anything that resembles a...

@Slow, Thank you for the update and the awesome disclaimer. It helps the community understand what's going on with FTB and the game we all love to play. @NJM The majority of the comments were not about the changed release date. The comments were mostly about the lack of communication...

1. Slow, seemingly on his own, created this post to inform the community of the status of FTB. In which HE gives a defined and clear release date for the 1.5 beta pack. 2. The release date was not met. 3. Slow, nor anyone from FTB have said anything, on the forums, regarding the delay...

NJM when I stated it's out I was referring to 1.5 not Xycraft. Before you go attacking someones post maybe you should read it a little better. Obviously Xycraft isn't out which was part of the point I was trying to make. And, like most people, you take a snippet of a post and attack it...

The FTB team should've never mentioned a release date when it depends on the mod authors updating the mods. Xycraft, for instance, was supposed to have more features released when 1.5 came out. It's out and we get to see DW20 and the other authors play with them but they are not available...

It's not the window. It's the door. He should use 1 door and the window will be great. Not as grand an entrance but it lines up nicely.

what's the seed for the yogscast map. Sorry if it's been posted I did a search for seed and nothing came up. Yes I searched this thread only.

The idea is great in concept. I love the progression. For the magic you could put in the second tier and create a new branch so people could just go down the magic branch and ignore technology. You'd have to split up the current magic mods though. For instance, tier 2 could add Ars's magica's...

Does treefeller work with universal electricity tools or the advanced chainsaw out of the box? if so I'll abandon treecap with the quickness....lol

Yeah, if treecapitator worked this way it would be better. It still would'nt be added to FTB, because it would surely replace the axe of the stream. I think it's really silly to not include an obviously excellent mod because it makes 1 item from another mod "useless". In either case I'll keep...

The thing that pisses me off about Ogres is they can see through walls. If I could do that it would be considered cheating. Should be the same for mobs. How about a mod that chops down the entire tree and has items in the mod to process the wood. This would fit both camps, I think...

It would be cool if you added a way to generate power through electromagnet or even add true hydroelectric to MC. I love your idea of a solar tower and having mirrors along the bottom to reflect the heat into the tower. Having a way to generate EU steam power without using a nuke reactor will...

Server appears to be down. I downloaded the private pack fine. I start the pack through the launcher and click multiplayer on the menu screen. the server is auto listed but MC shows it's down. I pinged the server and got a reply so I don't know what could be causing the issue.

This was the most helpful post I've read about starting off in GT. I'll continue reading the thread in the hope that I'll get gems like this one. People forget everyone doesn't know that path to getting an industrial centrifuge can be difficult for a new GT user.
