Can't we just donate to make 4.0 come faster?

Dont work on shit Steps. We need the disconnect problem handled.

Agreed, we need to figure out how to disconnect godmax entirely from wn.

I'll help ya!

Well in that case, why not break the expected update into fragments?
Nobody cares if it's full 4.0, I bet everyone would be glad to see a little update too, for example:

Make worms able to import more types of pictures for graves/flags (not just 8bit bmp)
Maybe introduce reconnection system (even tho I'm aware that requires tons of work, so leave it as a special update)
Handle the multi-key problem (when more keys are pressed certain keys simply get ignored, I thought it was my lptop, but since I've bought a new one, I can see it's not)
Integrate pausing system, may be stupid, but if someone really needs to do a 15min job, he just types /pause and anyone can /resume, put 2-3 pauses per game so it's not exploitable and that's it.

Sorry if I'm talking without understanding, if I could help I would, I'm relatively good at python and I've done some projects, so in case you need a hand, showing me how things work, maybe I could help but I doubt anything there is done in python.

Afaik, that cannot be done. It's a cheap keyboard problem, known as..ghosting!??

[XanKriegor]

Keylock? Try ANY PS/2 keyboard, it should not have it.

[Godmax]

We need to get rid of the f@#!ing disconnect problem once and for all. Plus an amateur-whore-filter!

[WTF-8]

Godmax, you'd be the first one to get filtered.

It's not W:A's fault, you just got 2 shitty keyboards.

[aik]

We should crowdfund ransome W:A-source from Team17 - not because I don't trust the actual developers, because I WHANT TO SEE IT  ;o)

And:

Yes - shitty key-ghosting. I know the problem (and  there is still no answer in my TUS-topic about that) ^^

Please! Logic! If there is a problem with your old laptop - it is also possible (and the case) your new one has the same problem 

Also there is a feature-request site for W:A 4.0

You know, I thought it could be possible, but since it's a new laptop, I love it so much that I blindly dismiss all theories of it being bad in any way

Thanks for the answer on this, I'll check it out when I get home

I would be the last to get filtered. We need an amateurfilter badly!

I get the same input drop problem on my laptop if I hold Up + Left and try to press the Spacebar.

PS/2 typically fares better than USB in regards to ghosting.

An easy test for ghosting:
Hold down both Left and Right shift. Without releasing, type the sentence 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'. A keyboard with no ghosting should reproduce the sentence exactly, albeit in caps.

(My result: HE QUIK BRON FO JUPS OER HE LA DOG)

So what's the deal here? All I hear is talk about a 4.0, it's lika  kids story that doesn't exist. Why isn't 't there an official topic where at occasionally a update is made? Keep the community updated with news. FAQ, and information. Doesn't have to be a developer, but maybe by someone with insight.

Why don't developers don't want money? If a large amount cash was gathered say hypothetically 50 000 euros, why wouldn't he/she take it to speed up the process? 
There are already tons of people who that are willing to pay. I see an opportunity here that can benefit us all.

hypothetically, how many of the 50,000 euros can you contribute?  The first 5 are on me!

[Kradie]

Well, there are people that have said that they are willing to invest a few 100 euros into the pot.
