Don't get me wrong the technic launcher is a great Idea but rather then running it through a beta a Opt in beta phase you kind of just forced it on us. Which from experience I know NEVER works well but then again any real gamer would know that.
Okay lets look at the launcher for a second we'll start with Pros since its clear it's easier to list those
Pros
1. Provides Support to people with accounts that are legitimate.
2. Provides a unique Interface
3. Allows you to download the Technic and Tekkit mod packs without having to visit the site.
Cons
1. Creates 3 times more issues and frustrations.
2. Allows for no real optimization or choice of what mods to install for your pc spec (things like Mo Creatures is Fluffware which just bogs down the machine I play on)
3. takes away any real installation control which often causes confusion and therefore issues of human error.
4. Loads MUCH slower on low spec machines then just modifying ones pre-existing minecraft.
5. the Creators were too busy puffing up their own egos to actually take notice that it does more harm then good right now and therefore the mod packs themselves suffer delays.
6. and one I'm personally contemplating may force individuals to assemble there own IC2/BC packs which will be less bulked down by fluff addons and will allow for an actual enjoyable user experience.
now I know it's optional to use your packs and launcher, and I really don't mind the account thing since I have one but you have to admit when your work causes more frustration then actual enjoyment. Common sense would say stop, look where you went wrong and fix without yanking the carpet from under peoples feet.
to be honest the brokken Tekkit release worked better for me on the launcher then the actual Technic release, atleast then my mods weren't conflicting and I wasn't having Issues out the ying yang.
Well the moral Don't allow for an option that doesn't work most of the time. and as always when trying something new give people a choice in the matter. well that and you pulled a Blizzard Entertainment. Launcher to Installer is like WoW Cata to WoW Vanilla right now.
