I haven't tried the RR stuff, but the AT launcher definitely doesn't even come close to the ease of use and functionality of the feed the beast launcher. Furthermore, it even sends you to adfly pages when you download a "pack" from the front-page, a pack that doesn't work correctly anyway. I wont say its terrible, and its surely better than having to do everything yourself, but its not really comparable to the ftb launcher from a usability standpoint.
Having said that, on twitter the FTB team announced they were completing the testing phase of the packs, and while ofc there isn't any real ETA available, I think it is safe to say that both the team is working very hard and is closer to finishing than ever. I suggest that if you want more information, you should try watching the twitter posts of relevant people more often for more updates: they've been really busy the past few days.

Since when does free service allow for bad service? I don't think the FTB service is bad, I just think your argument is invalid.
The FTB Team doesn't get payed, all of the money goes to hosting the files.
There are only 2 launcher devs, and the ATL was made to support 1.6.
I'm going to say this again, hopefully for the last time: The FTB Team does not make any money from FTB.
I requested a modlist from DW20 but he never replies to any of my tweets. I don't get why FTB/DW20 are so stingy when it comes to releasing a mod list that is already finalized. There's no reason not to let us know so we can plan ahead and watch spotlights, we don't all have the ability of DW20 to talk to all the mod creators and learn mods first-hand... I like to learn basics before stepping into a new world, so I can figure out what progression path i'm going to take.
FTB said on twitter they won't release a modlist even though they have 2 stable packs already. I mean that's basically like saying: Hey screw you guys, we got 2 stable packs and we aren't going to give you a list just because, ya know, we just like to keep our fanbase in the dark for no reason. By not releasing modlists, it just makes me want to go to RR who's team actively replies to their fans.
Trying to keep positive and keep loyal to FTB.. but it's getting hard. All my friends have already started playing on RR, and i'm going to have to play alone as-is...
The ATlauncher is far superior in ease of use and functionality.... It also only sends you to adfly pages for a select few mods because of how they were hosted/permission issues (It's like 6 mods out of the 178 mods in RR). After mods are downloaded, they are stored in a download folder and only needed to be re-downloaded if there's an update for the mod. It's far, far better than the current FTB launcher. You can create a new instance of a pack in seconds, with the FTB launcher you have to redownload it everytime.
Also, how does the pack not work correctly? I've put a good 40 hours in creative mode just messing around and i've had almost 0 issues. I update everytime there's a update (usually 1-3x a day), and my world still hasn't broke. It seems damn stable to me, especially for a beta pack.
This goes back to bandwidth issues caused by the inferior design of the current launcher, I mentioned above. Why not store mods in a download folder so after they are downloaded they can just be pulled from there for other packs/instances? This would greatly reduce bandwidth and hosting fees.
I'm assuming this is how the new launcher will handle things, same as the ATLauncher?

was just talking in skype last night with my minecraft group who are all going crazy waiting for the updates and we discussed how the internet is a fickle place if they keep us waiting especialy with no news, all of us have ADHD attention spans and we will all move on to something else
should also note a about half of my minecraft group has moved on to other means to get there 1.6.4 the atlunacher or adding forget them selves
FtB has not gone "For Profit". The Store is for profit, for the sole purpose of supporting the forum website. Nobody is getting paid.[DOUBLEPOST=1385766070][/DOUBLEPOST]
FtB is NOT a business... The FtB STORE is a business, and solely supports the forum and it's fees. Nodoby is getting paid.
Also, is ATLauncher getting Mod Author permissions and thoroughly testing the pack as a whole? I don't know, just asking.
We not releasing modlists because they are NOT finalized. Yes we have 2 stable packs, modlists are always finalized by Slowpoke. Stable means the packs aren't crashing or destroying servers/worlds, not that the modlist is final. One of the stable packs had a major ore gen issue we didn't discover till today. If we had released it y'all would have to restart your worlds on an update... that would have gone over well.
If you wish to play RR you are welcome to do so. If you want to use ATLauncher, Technic Launcher or MultiMC you are also welcome to do so we aren't going to complain about you or insult you or call you names for it.
- If we don't release any updates at alll we get: Grr rawr FTB never tells us anything
- If we release updates we get : Grr Rawr FTB doesn't tell us enough
- If we give out hard ETA's and something goes wrong we get : Grr Rawr FTB can't keep their word
- If we give out a modlist and then have to remove a mod from that list due to an issue that arises we get : Grr Rawr why isn't xya mod in xyz pack , the mod list said it would be
- If we release packs and then have to pull mods we get : Grr Rawr the modpack changed and I lost stuff
- If we release packs with major bugs even though people "say" they are fine with testing we get : Grr Rawr so many bugs
We have tried all that before and there will always be some group dissatisfied with the quality of any updates we give. Currently I have been writing the updates because I am trying to give the users some information. No one else wants to do it because no one else wants to put up with people griping that we don't tell them enough information.
We want stable packs that fit together well with proper world gen. Then we won't need to release updates unless a mod updates so maybe once every week or so if that.
Now as we have enough "When is 1.6 packs coming out?" "What's going to be in 1.6 packs" I'll be locking this thread.

Edited previous post since people were misunderstanding a couple of m remarks.
Repeated for emphasis :
" If you wish to play RR or any other non- FTB pack you are welcome to do so. If you want to use ATLauncher, Technic Launcher or MultiMC you are also welcome to do so we aren't going to complain about you or insult you or call you names for it."
