There will be balance changes.

Those aren't the patch notes since I haven't written them yet.

Maybe someone took stuff from the beta, I haven't had a chance to compare. It could be someone just made them up. If it did come from the beta that's super shitty. It makes it harder and less likely for us to do betas in the future if we keep having people break their word and leak things.

Again it may not be. I haven't had a chance to look. Making things up is also not awesome.

We'll have the real patch notes out next week.

another good program from community moderators. good job.
What the programmers do at relic? Get money for taking sh!t?

When we spend time working with the community to help them create really cool tools like this sadly it gets seen as us being lazy, rather than going out of our way to work with the community.

We'd like our jobs to be satisfying, and while we love working with the community on map creation, mod tools and other stuff to have that investment we put into it be seen as us not doing our jobs kind of sucks.

Which is a shame because Pingtoft did a really great job on this and we're glad to have worked with him.

Why delete the recent 4v4 winter map?

Map list got reset due to server changes. It's been fixed.

october changelog as in it has been aplied?

Later today.

Normally we don't release the patch notes so soon, because it just leads to a day worth of people yelling about math without being able to play the changes, but since we were doing the balance cast yesterday we made them available so you could read along.

If you suspect a drop hacker email enforcement@relic.com and the Relic Enforcement Team will take a look at the situation. Include a replay and any screenshots you feel would be useful.

It was claimed that we don't take any action against drop hackers unless we have it on record of them saying that they're about to drop hack. That's sort of 30% correct.

Essentially if it's just one report we won't take any action, unless there's a reason to believe that they're drop hacking based on the conversation (which is why screenshots help) prior to the disconnect.

However it's still worth reporting because while we won't take action against someone for 1 disconnect, if a player is getting a lot of reports against them from different people then the volume of that will mount until a point when we will take action against them.

Two other things to keep in mind:
- drophacking hurts a player's trust rating thus drophacking is an strategy with a limited life for a player. Since there's no option to create profiles (as there was in CoH) a player who drophacks will ruin his own trust rating to the point where all matches begin to count against him.
- disconnects can happen for several reasons. Imagine if you were banned from playing the game just because your connection dropped once. Thus we do tend to give people some leeway if it's a single report, just as I'm sure you'd want/expect the same consideration.
