"the main post at the top"
The FTB team is pleased to announce that at the upcoming Pax East show, we will be installing the FTB Mod Pack and a brand new FTB tournament map on servers in the BYOC area. Whilst exact details have yet to be finalised, we plan to have a couple of members from the FTB team at Pax to help out and answer questions.
Our goal is to host a live tournament during the event with giveaways and prizes. We also hope to have a couple of FTB modded servers for people to join and play on.
More details will follow as we get closer to the event.
In other news, The New launcher and Mod Pack is now planned to be released in 1.4. Hopefully mod updates should be a lot smoother this time, enabling us to get the pack out quickly.
Slowpoke.
I don't see anything saying you can't download the mod pack, only that the launcher is going to be released in 1.4.
"the bit of text above the download"
The client allows you to download the modpack as well as maps, texture packs and more, coming soon!
I don't know if the text was changed when you changed the button but I did not associate "Comming soon" as in "this is not available, but it will be" I originally interpenetrated it as "It has lots of stuff already but we are planning on adding more soon"
"and the FAQ"
That I agree with totally. That is how I learned about it.
"looks like I had best remove the download button as well seen as people seem to ignore all the other places :3"
I am very happy you put a line through the download button but I think a even better idea is replace the text "Download" with "Coming Soon"
P.S. I don't mean to complain. I was just trying to give a suggestion. I am extremely excited about FTB, and am REALLY looking forward to it when it is released.
