Gregtech deliberately crashing client if TC installed..

[lolpierandom]

Eh, I think you're reaching here.

I'm not. It's not like Greg doing, quite frankly, outrageous BS is a stretch.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised it's taken him this long to do this.

Hey here's a question:
Greg said "Lol, everyone who would drop GT in favor of another Mod wouldn't even belong to my user base. My actual user base is actually very small."
So basically the people who are using GT and TiCo together aren't part of Greg's userbase, so why does he even care whether their wood is nerfed or not?

Everyone must fit Greg's glorious gregorious vision for the world to be uber-balanced and "realistic".

I at least thought he was capable of seeing how hypocritical it would be to do this kind of thing, but I overestimated him. :/

Whoah, this thread has been moving faster than I can read!

Bah, most people saying they won't be using gregtech will probably be back using it in under a month.

Maybe true for some people and that's fine. But Gregtech is not Pizza Italia. For those of you who love metaphors, Pizza Italia is my local pizza takeaway. Ususally, once a month I say to myself that I can't go there again if I want to actually have a heart beat, but after a month I usually order again. To repeat, Gregtech is not Pizza Italia.

I was already planning on making my current world the last time I played with Gregtech but now I have just removed the whole thing. I think I was on 3.08b so before any of this crash code business but even so I just don't want to play with this mod anymore. No worries though I think I will have more than enough fun doing magic with Thaumcraft and Thaumic tinkerer and reliquary, and doing things that have nothing to do with darts on dartcraft. So long Greg I'm heading off with "Hearteater" my Manyullyn rapier, and my Cheap As Chips Quarry.

what a giant hypocrite he's proven to be and how hostile he is to people who don't have "the correct opinion" on balance, enough to force-crash the unbelievers.

Not even that, Greg has gone so far as to crash anyone who uses his mod in conjunction with Tinker's Construct even if they're a "believer" and have the "correct opinion"; He is just stirring up drama and he's affecting his followers and haters alike to do so. In all reality, I think he doesn't even care about his users, he just uses them as a medium for formulating attention at this point. Like a previous poster said, if we all just forget about him he'll be nothing.

Here's a suggestion for greg; make it crash only if they fail a "Greg Test" that tests how 00B3R |-|@RD(0R3 you are at Minecraft; those who are truly "Greglievers" (let's make that a thing, anyone) get to play.

Don't you play on Res. Rise, Saice? KirinDave has already stated he's removing GT.

I think he wants to phase it out yes. But I'm don't think hes just going to yank it. There are some Pro GT users still around and GT does do many things well. At its core GT does actually make stuff cheaper if you buy into his tech tree. The father down that you go the more returns you get in the way of side mateirals and replacement recipes that have the same or higher yelds making all your mats actually last longer.

Like I said I did like GT and still think if you build your mod pack around GT as its core it would be a wonderful pack. But the way it is now it just does not play well as an optional side thing to a mod pack. That is one of the reasons I started disliking its direction.

It takes time for people to forget. Even if someone has the perfect idea, not everyone will recognize it as being a perfect idea instantly, and they'll continue to complain and throw insults, fueling the flames, which just pulls in more people, most of which don't realize that Greg lives off of attention.

 

[SatanicSanta]

I'm not sure if you really were on the forums since you didn't notice that greg made the client crash code so that it detects the problem in TC and once that problem is fixed the client wont crash anymore. Why does he need to really even remove the code anymore then?

So, yes, I was on the forums. If I wasn't how could I have replied? I know this. As Hydra and Mjw said, putting it in the mod in the first place both makes it run slower, and it was a wrong thing to do in the first place. It was completely childish and I don't want to use a mod if it has any malicious code in it.

 

[Dreossk]

It does adds nice stuff but then two updates later he removes them and add more requirements to do what you could do before (ie: circuits, batteries).

 

[Velotican]

Saice, check the G+ community. All pro-GT sentiment just went down the toilet. GT's out of RR for certain. In fact I'm pushing to pull the optional support option as well.

I think some of his nerfs go a little too far (wood, pickaxe, etc.). GT is a good mod imo, but Greg is not a good guy. He's a dickish little kid with a bad temper, which results in malicious codes, and other douchebaggerous acts.

The largest problem with GT is that, as KirinDave said, it's not marketed as a sort of standalone/total conversion. It cannot be reasonably stuck into a modpack that isn't built around its playstyle; you really have to expect to play GT if you want to enjoy it remotely at all. Once you start adding other things, GT gradually just becomes unappealing- all the changes reach too far into other mods to pretend it plays along well with everything.

I know its lazy but sometimes I wish that certain pairs of words sounded the same, usually <random word> and Justin Bieber. I want to equate Justin Bieber fans, aka beliebers, with a certain part of the Gregtech fanbase with a not so wildean portmanteau of Bieber, Gregorious and believer. Alas it just doesn't fit together, time to be more imaginative.

It turns out it does work: Thank you Lolpierandom and Eternal Density and anyone else who has risen to the challenge! Very Funny!

 

[lolpierandom]

GT-iebers?

I dunno.

 

[egor66]

Any can look at my build and see I have been minimizing my use of GT for awhile now. And don't get me wrong I'm one of those folks that tells people if you dont like it remove it or use the configs.

But to be honest I'm kind of done with GT and only put up with it becuase the mod pack I'm using has it. If it was my choice at this point I would remove it. But as it is part of a server that is not my option.

I don't think most are going to get over the whole double all costs until you make Gregs machines just to normalize your costs.

What I do see if people using older versions of it or adding in stuf like NiceGT. That is what I think is going to happen to most of those that can roll there own mod pack. The rest well they are basicly stuck with what ever FTB gives them.

not bad points but really atm its so easy to make packs & edit configs, most mods have the config layout in a logical easy to follow order, we are yet to see what will be & what the next ep in this long running drama will be, my guess is that if a mod like nicegt gained some popularity its would be in for a rough ride from a certain modder.

And I agree. GT would be a great Core mod if you build a Mod pack around the whole idea that it was a GT based pack and not a Pack that happen to have GT in it.

Grieber! Because it's similar to griefer

 

[Bigglesworth]

What a complete moron.

 

[rymmie1981]

I can't like this hard enough.

I also had an idea. Toss GT from the modpacks with the error message "Sic Semper Tyrranus". It would be fitting, I think.

 

[SonOfABirch]

It is inappropriate for TC to be trying to override recipes to circumvent other mods, full stop.

Is it just me, or is this so unbelievably hypocritical it's borderline laughable?
