Let me try comparing the quick battle bug with other bugs using specific examples.
The quote mentions 5 bugs. Let's say I'm trying to convince my opponent to use version 3.0 and play with all options enabled. Then:
- I don't need to tell him about the artifact bug; using it is pure cheating and prohibited by all the rules I know;
- I don't need to tell him about the clone bug; if it doesn't happen, no one will notice (I barely know what this bug is; clones are not often used in online games);
- I don't need to warn him about the absence of freezes;
- I don't need to warn him about the absence of peeking; I think it's clear why;
- there are still many other bugs that I don't need to inform my opponent about.
However, I must definitely inform him about the improved quick battle, and not just inform him, but convince him that the old quick battle, which he is used to, is a bug, and the new one is the correct version. If I forget to tell him and he loses in a quick battle, it will be my fault. If I tell him, but can't convince him, we will play without the new quick battle and without some other useful features.
As they say, feel the difference.
And what is all this for? For fixing a bug that is rarely encountered in the actual game, has little impact on the game, and is familiar to everyone, and many don't even consider it a bug.
Once a person tries it and I explain it to them, they will keep it in mind. They will tell a third person. And in a couple of weeks, it will be common knowledge that a certain bug has been removed, and the understanding that this is a flaw, this is a bug, this is wrong, and this has been removed will help to positively accept this change.
Moreover, MORE people DO NOT know about this "feature" than know what this "feature" is and how to use it.
As an option, we could somehow ask Bar to automate the process of notifying the opponent that certain changes have been made to the game by the HD mod. Perhaps this could be a command in the chat, in the style of /info, which would display information about the game for SOD players without HD.
