Should ic2 be boycotted untill the power system is fixed ??

My old grid was 512 EU/p and I had about 32k EU/t running around and had block transformers convert for a room's worth of machines. Now I have item transformers in all of my machines and less over-all power. If the AESU or Charger blocks from Greg were better behaved, I'd have those power specific rooms and use the Lapo crystals get charged up and used to power subsections of the former network.

IC2 threads in a nutshell.
The mod doesn't update and people whinge. The mod gets updated and people whinge.
Enet is still a little buggy, but overall still functions in a similar way.

All they did was fix an exploit which allowed multiple packets to get around the voltage limit.
Heck- the capacity of the all the wires has actually been buffed,
its also somewhat more intuitive and easier to understand.

The energy net is different from it's 1.5 counterpart. It isn't built for centralized energy production and if you try to centralize it you have to go through the minigame of changing currents to different levels. It's not that the enet is bad you're just using it wrong.
You forgot some replies.
I don't think any opinions regarding IC2 will change any time soon, so I guess this thread is completely useless indeed.
I'm so fed up of people saying this. How many people here genuinely have the ability or the time to make their own mod? Go on, hand up.
Because they add nothing to the RF family of mods and even less people would use IC2.
The rage is strong within this one.
there are actually alot of things IC2 does that RF mods dont the biggest advantage is the speed upgrades and advanced machines which still out perform all of the RF machines put together .
also ic2 adds a lot and i mean ALOT of things that aren't machines. simplifying the energy net would finally make it accessible to the more casual players that were essentially kicked to the curb with a giant FU after 1.4
you seem to fail to understand that if Ic2 used a standard energy net MORE people would use it because it performs better.
1. Try Mekanism.
2. IC2 doesn't add many things that aren't in other mods. Maybe just the crops system and mining laser. The rest you can find in other mods, typically done in a more enjoyable way.
3. I am failing to understand that. The way I see it is that IC2 is becoming less unique and conforming.
4. Learn to grammar.
Ooops. I can't help but feel somewhat responsible
Reminds me of an IRC log (from bash.org):
Code:
<Khassaki> HI EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!
<Judge-Mental> try pressing the the Caps Lock key
<Khassaki> O THANKS!!! ITS SO MUCH EASIER TO WRITE NOW!!!!!!!
<Judge-Mental> (non pg phrase of annoyance)>.> truth be told I'm not fond of the changes to IC2 either, thats why I switched to Mekanism... plus I like it's machine designs better as there not just 'textured blocks'.
Don't like something, move onto something else instead of throwing a fit.

No. Greg is only there for bugfixes, I'm pretty sure he had nothing to do with the new power system.
We do understand. In fact, a couple of months back or so, we had a thread about IC2 where a lot of us completely bashed the mod to pieces for its bad design. However, I do not believe that completely boycotting a mod would fix the problem.
Well, this is FTB forums not IC2 forums.
Ok, I agree with most of your post, but this is just wrong. He may not be coding the changes, but one does not have to code a change to influence it. And the entirety of IC2E reeks of Greg, especially the crafting.
Yes, but his position on the IC2 Dev Team is just for bugfixing. He's actually really good at it, as an aside.
True, but even greg doesn't want IC2 default to be Gregtech 2
I mean he even got pissed off when IC2 made a semi-fluid generator and used the plate system. Because it was clear they took ideas from his mod.
