    I'm kind of confused. Were they not spawning correctly on these things so you made it so they can't. Or did you make it so they could? o.O<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Made it so they can't. Eggs were ending up hanging off of thin railings and at the tips of pointy rock outcroppings. This way they need more flat surface underneath them in order to spawn in, so there isn't as much of them hanging out in the middle of the air.

    "When getting new weapon, doesn't switch to it"
    Most FPS' make this a toggle option. Though, they are typically games where you can have like 10 weapons at once, so it makes sense to have it there. I guess NS2 not having it would not be much of a loss.

    It's best when you can script a pushbutton toggle with the command so you can hold it down when you want to run over a weapon to pick it up and instaswitch to it, but otherwise not instaswitch if you happen to step on a random gun laying around.

    Hey it's been month since the game is in alpha 1.0 (laggy, not fun, unplayable)
    Is this what we paid for ?
    the alpha is good to give feedback, but it's an obsolete alpha, there's really no interest in playing it.

    We paid for alpha in order to play, and test, the game day by day... and see how the development is progressing ingame.
    so plz make some release more often.

    Hopefullly after this next Uber Patch, we'll have a somewhat-playable version and we can actually start playtesting it. They should be able to knock-out patches on a more regular basis. :)

    i think they need to hire another coder.... with this huge lag/performance/whatever bug taking so long, other bugs are popping up all over the progress screen lol some important ones... will this set the team back some if there are too many bugs and the rest of the team is to the point where they need those fixed to do their own work? just my 2 cents. but im sure u'd need more than 2 cents to hire another guy... lol

    you'd call this late software? still alpha... i mean... i guess it could be pre-alpha which would be nothing but a little code...

    Odds are the game wouldn't be released with the title of "Alpha" at this point, if the devs had the money to delay the release to a point where most of the features were in game already.

    I swear there must be a rotation of users that all take turns posting the same message...even though this has been addressed like 12 bazillion times already.

    If you get bored waiting for the next update, Instead of coming in here to complain about it, do some searching to see whats involved in game development.

    The performance problems are a result of many bugs, such as the ones you see being fixed now.

    because they want release it until the lag/performance bug is fixed enough to have a playable game.

    so, until it isnt fixed the other teams work along with their tasks - and maybe they find serious or major bugs
    which must get fixxed too before release, so...

    and besides, if a fixed bug appears in top of or under the 152 deadline dosent matter.
