Why do you DDA guys keep putting yourselfs at odds with Whales?
So much passive-aggression. Why do you care if he can "catch up" or not, he is working on his thing, you are working on yours. Both have a niche, it's not a race.
Everything semi-aggressive I've said has been personal opinion, nothing to do with my opinion as a DDA developer (in fact I get the feeling most of the other DDA developers are much more chill with Whales then I am). I'm not gonna lie, I don't really like Whales, mostly due to his habit of taking the occasional potshot at DDA/it's devs or holding DDA up as an example of how C2 is "better", despite our position of wishing him well ever since he first announced it.
Just because C2 doesn’t have as much junk and pointless content as DDA, doesn’t mean it’s less complex.
as usual, my caveat: if you were playing DDA, I would assume that the feature was removed / edited into worthlessness

I’m sure this will be in DDA2 but not C2
I also think it’s a good indicator of how big of an improvement C2 is over C1/DDA.
He seems to have gotten better recently, but he especially seemed to have a very large chip on his shoulder in the beginning and was almost downright aggressive to us when we tried to wish him well right after he announced C2. As such I still respect him as a programmer, but he made enough of a bad impression that he's still got quite a ways to go before I look on him with much friendliness in my eyes.
If you want to discuss more on exactly why I don't like Whales feel free to PM me and I'll try to fill you in as best as I can, but I won't be responding to anything further on the topic in this thread, since it's here for Cata 2 discussion, not Cata2 vs. DDA discussion.
Once again, this post is my personal opinion, and has nothing to do with my point of view as a C:DDA dev or the views, personal or dev, of the other C:DDA devs..
