<div class="IPBDescription">SO HAVE SOME FREAKIN' PATIENCE</div> Ok, i've seen way too many threads suddenly open up in the public forum about how horrible/awesome these changes are and speculation about what may or may not be included. A few things come to mind:

1) They are not done changing things. They are still messing around with stuff trying to find out what works and what doesn't. They are adding and subtracting elements of the game. WE STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT ABILITY THE FADE IS GETTING. Once we do know what everything is and how everything plays, then we discuss it.

2) Nobody who has actually PLAYED the new version seems to be posting on the threads. I mean, come on. You haven't played it, and we don't need 400 threads whining about how some change or other may or may not screw over your whole reason to play the game. Aagain, try to have some experience with your subject before you try to discuss it.

3) Everybody needs to chill out, wait for the public release, and <i>then and only then</i> you may come in here and moan about the lerk's lack of bite and other stuff.

    i would have patience, but 99% of the threads are talking about 1.1

    I'm going to post here just because I know this thread is bound to be locked and I want to feel special by being one of the few people to post on this thread before it goes bye-bye.

    At least it gives us something to discuss doesn't it? Before the beta 1.1 info was released the forum was very quiet, I see nothing wrong with these discussions as long as they stay friendly.

    patience is a virtue.. This is how I deal with patience... I will list these in steps to make it for everyone to do aswell.

    <b>Step 1:</b> Wait 2 weeks for the patch to be released

    <b>Step 2:</b> After finding out it hasn't been released, go back till Step 1 until patience has been accomplished.

    PS. If you are wondering, this has been about the 7th loop for me. I am workin on my 8th. I will put a star on my head when I get there <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Its flayra's own fault, if you pre release details of changes of course people are going to want to have they're say on them. Your a fool if you think people are going to stop voicing thier opinion on these changes whether theyre only in testing or not.

    Flayra released the build notes to create hype for 1.1 which is fair enough but you must respect that people will have thier say on what they do and dont like about them even if they dont word their posts particularily well.

    If you want to be angry with someone be angry with flayra for causing all the hype :/

    That's not really true. Take a look at dod, in all their prerelease periods they have a TON of hype, and non of it generated by the team. Plus, they have more idle speculation in their prereleases than one man could stand. Flayra has done a good job in actually giving out information. Hype would be happening no matter what he does, or doesn't do.
  • RickyGervaisRickyGervais Join Date: 2003-01-10 Member: 12148Members
    I know frikk but how can people expect anything else. Theres a beta forum here that only playtesters can post on but normal people are still allowed to view it and all the posts discussing gameplay changes. Thats like throwing rocket fuel onto a burning oil well.

    The speculation is being encouraged from all angles and people wonder why everyones rushing to post their views.
