Somewhere, Jat mentioned that private servers would be able to avoid this clusterraptor that WC has thrust upon us. Right now, I have one remaining tribe member who has been told NOT to update their game, and to not exit the game. I refuse to allow my aviary to be completely screwed by WC that I've spent months breeding up and working up to where they are now because WC can't get their heads out of their asses and the "but we'll tweak it now!" excuse doesn't fly with me. This was a completely non-transparent nerf that was designed to piss off your playerbase, congrats, you did it. You've made it to where I don't want to be on land, I now can't go out to sea, and now I should limp along in the skies because "balance". Screw the balance. I'm going over the config files and the options I have in there, and the only thing I can see is the PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed<type>[<attribute>]=<multiplier> and PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[<attribute>]=<multiplier>.
If there is no way to rectify this situation on my server, I will simply shut it down and demand my money back from our host and let them know it's WCs fault. This was poorly thought out, poorly executed, and the idea of trying to "fix" it now that the base is angry is a crap way to handle things. Typically, companies tend to NOT try to piss off their base (which also explains the 67% off in the Steam shop, expecting this were you?) and tweak things as they go.
What a complete and utter disaster. If I didn't have tribemates reliant on me, I would tell you to go shove a pike up your asses and shut it all down.
