Patches are great for users who have limited bandwidth, however for the majority it becomes cumbersome to install, especially if there are 3 separate patches to apply in order.It looks now as it did before... now everyone is going to ask again what to do when and so on.... I did it in an ordered fashion because of that, so 1) stood for do this first, 2) for that second and so on.... I don't mind you adding the mirror links to 1) base game or 2) updates, but why throwing them all together again? Try reading hmm lets say the last 80 pages here, it's always: I downloaded 0.5.1.0 now the game crashes (crash error: Missing image bla bla bla blup)
...... whatever... I think it's ordered great the way it is now, but the past showed that it's not good for users to post it like this if it's an updatable game... we'll see if it works in an ordered list now or if there'll be problems again...
I hadn't had a chance to play Wicked Choices since 0.2, I was going to give it a shot yesterday but was pretty lost when it came to the topic - especially with mirrors spread across different spoilers. It was also unclear if all 3 patches needed to be applied or just the final patch (until I checked the filenames on mega). Additionally at least 70% of the mirrors were dead.
I think the current format is easier to understand, and is more in line with other game threads. However, the previous version of the thread is archived, if you find that this format doesn't work out, let a moderator know and they can restore the older version.
I'd also highly recommend releasing a full build each update, so update patches are optional rather than compulsory. Regardless of how the thread is formatted, a full build is a much more user friendly experience for the majority of users.
