Need to get sleep before work.. Out of curiosity, if I leave steam running, it should automatically detect the patch and download it if I leave steam running correct? And thanks for releasing the patch Hi-Rez, can't wait to try it out _________________

I only have one small issue with the patch notes and it is very insignificant...but your diction here really bothers me: Players that leave a PvP match will have a 5-minute deserter bonus. I brought this up before, and I believe Syc even emailed Erez, but a bonus usually denotes something positive. I do not think that you are trying to encourage people to quit PvP early...so I really believe a better word choice is in store. Possibly penalty or debuff would be a better choice of words. Like I said, not an important issue cause anyone with half a brain will know what you mean, but lets face it.....not everyone was gifted with even half a brain. _________________ jaradrabbit wrote: When someone hits me with a nanite blast as I walk out of the dropship, two things flash into my head: 1) I've just been violated. 2) We're going to lose.

Hi-Rez,
love all the changes and many thanks for staying true to your word about the release of 1.3a. I only have one small issue with the patch notes and it is very insignificant...but your diction here really bothers me: Players that leave a PvP match will have a 5-minute deserter bonus. I brought this up before, and I believe Syc even emailed Erez, but a bonus usually denotes something positive. I do not think that you are trying to encourage people to quit PvP early...so I really believe a better word choice is in store. Possibly penalty or debuff would be a better choice of words. Like I said, not an important issue cause anyone with half a brain will know what you mean, but lets face it.....not everyone was gifted with even half a brain.
