Slow-down In 1.1 Information

FrahgFrahg Join Date: 2002-12-03 Member: 10432Members, Constellation
<div class="IPBDescription">Where is it?!?</div> It's been over a week since something has been added to the NS 1.1 Information thread. Something is wrong! Where's the info? We need it. Please? Even if it's not final, tell us something that is currently occuring.

To help you out, here is a simple form that you can fill out to supply some info on the 1.1 playtest:

----------------------

I am a playtestor and I have observed that, in the current release candidate of Natural Selection 1.1, the following configurations exist for weapons:

-slot 3 weapon is ________

-slot 2 weapon is ________
-slot 3 weapon is ________
-slot 4 weapon is ________

Marines:

    lol, nice try frahg, won't work though.
    Besides, the 1.1 information thread is closed, dunno why.

    Well, where I am, it's exam time. It's inevitable that this is going to slow down playtesting if loads off people have to cut NS out of their schedule.

    maybe if they dont want to give out info they could give out things that ARENT anymore. like stuff that existed in 1.1a but not in 1.1h

    that would be just as interesting...

    I also have a question, sorry if it is annoying, but why are the dev team and the playtesters are so secretive about everything, and why are they so unwilling to divulge anything? I'm not trying to be a pain in the butt, as I'm sure theres a good reason, but I really don't get it. Any developers/playtesters that wanna enlighten a poor ignorant fool, I would really appreciate it.

    I'm guessing that they have already told us everything that is gonna be in 1.1, and everything else they either want to be a suprise or is still subject to change which they don't want to make any official anouncements about, or the public will flip out and they will get email bombed if they changed.

    Because we all have a Non-disclosure agreement, and MonsE & Flayra just seem to "know" when the time is right to release a little more information.

    Then there's also the fact that MonsE is an ex-marine, and the rumor that one of the many punishments for violating the NDA is [REMAINDER OF POST EDITED OUT]

    I am a playtestor and I have observed that, in the current release candidate of Natural Selection 1.1, the following configurations exist for weapons:

    Gorge:
    -slot 1 weapon is cool
    -slot 2 weapon is excellent
    -slot 3 weapon is fun
    -slot 4 weapon is balanced

    Skulk:
    -slot 1 weapon is great
    -slot 2 weapon is in slot 2
    -slot 3 weapon is in place
    -slot 4 weapon is looking cool

    Lerk:
    -slot 1 weapon is painful
    -slot 2 weapon is possibly secret
    -slot 3 weapon is a weapon
    -slot 4 weapon is a catapult that fires waffles

    Fade:
    -slot 1 weapon is the square root of pi
    -slot 2 weapon is not visible to the naked eye
    -slot 3 weapon is a row of underscores
    -slot 4 weapon is based upon the Teletubbies toaster.

    Onos:
    -slot 1 weapon is the onos' slot 1 weapon
    -slot 2 weapon is pretty fun to use
    -slot 3 weapon is rather fun also
    -slot 4 weapon is a "laser" on the moon, which is aimed using an Etch-A-Sketch and a Lego Technics set.

    Marines:
    -Shotgun costs resources
    -HMG costs resources also
    -Welder costs resources
    -GL costs resources

    These may change as things go forward, but this is what I've observed.

    By the way, this is what i've <b>HEARD</b> from other pts and devs, the 1.1 info thread was locked for some reason having to do with the supposedly un-authorized PT jounal done by seraphix for the nsarchives site. sorry to be vague but i either A) cant tell any more due to NDA etc. or B) don't know. Once again i stress this is what ive HEARD and is <b><u>not</u></b> necessarily true.

    To those who asked why be so secret: They don't need you to start fussing over balance until the game comes out silly geese.

    well only a fraction of 1.1 has been released if i remember MonsE saying that a while back "the dev forum info on 1.1 is several pages long" i believe thats it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> and BTW its just really hard to make a curve on an etch-a-sketch... you got to be syncronized like swimmers <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    every passing day without news, gen discussion becomes more like off topic.

    Dahm you FAM !

    I was going to do the same, but looks like it won't be necessary to do the same, because its no longer original.

    Or...I could just beat a dead horse...

    MonsE wants everything secret
  • littlewildlittlewild Join Date: 2002-11-20 Member: 9467Members
    Maybe it's because NS will go commercial in 1.1

    Everything has to be kept under wraps to prevent competitions from borrowing them.

    That explains why that journal hasn't been updated in a while. But really, there is NOTHING on it that is new and isn't already covered in the forum.

    Too bad..so sad
