2.1?

Invader_Scoot

<div class="IPBDescription">When will it happen???</div> As most of you know, NS 2.1 was scheduled for 10/31/03 (halloween). But the only thing that happened on Halloween was beta testing for constellation members. Then on 11/10/03 some more 2.1 news came out about a tournament for ATI 9800 pro Graphics Cards. So I'm thinking, "2.1 must come out like today or tommorrow." And now it's 11/20/03 and we still have no news on when 2.1 is gonna come out. It may not seem like a long time, but to someone using the Steam NS version that is extremely bugged up and has been wanting 2.1 since 2.01 came out, it's a miserable wait. And with the new NS:C it makes the wait seem even longer. Can we get some more screenies or news or at least a release date?? Please!

If you simply must have it join a clan. You can even find 5 guys and make a group of people. You can get accepted into the beta test that way.

NS 2.1 wasn't scheduled for 10/31, we just thought it would be nice to release it then. There are quite a large number of people involved in the beta testing now (through the veteran program and constellation program) and they're free to post information on the 2.1 beta as well as screenshots, so maybe you'll be seeing some more information soon.

We keep adding more screenies to the stickied thread up top. Check it out if you want to know how it's coming along. That and the stickied change log that is usually up to date, thanks to Neo and his hard work. As always, it will be done when it is done. There is no ship date, so the ship date never slips. Oct. 31 was a date they were hoping for, but never promised to anyone. It is my opinion that it is getting fairly close to completion, with the number of bugs eliminated and current level of game balance, but that is just my personal guess.

Edit: Max beat me to it. Listen to him, ignore me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Somone important said "well before Christmas."
I'll see if I can find it.

Arg, best I can come up with was that it was posted on 2003-09-22 or maybe the day before because as soon as I saw it I posted about it on another forum.
I'll keep looking for who said it.

Can we be a bit nicer to the person asking questions? It's one thing to say "screenshots are being released, see stickied topic" or "it'll be released when it's done." But saying "go die" or "stabs scoot in the eye with a pencil" just isn't polite at all.

There aren't any SS restrictions for consties, provided they don't embarass NS (bugs, clipping errors, etc). Theres a big stickied threat at the top, just for pictures.

Problem is, it's overloaded with more regular discussion than screenshots. I reckon we should get Necrotic in there and do the awesomeness he did in Off-Topic (=

MrPink

It's still quite buggy and (more importantly) we are just encountering a serious fundamental flaw in combat, expect it mid to late December, but don't get angry if it isn't released then, don't quote me on that, and for the love of God don't spam the forums with angry posts if January comes around and it isn't out yet.

Yeah and did anyone already got beta access this way? We are waiting for a week now :-) I guess it must be 1 000+ requests ;-)

Move back I know CPR!

<!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> anyway only because it has a bug in the readyroom (suicide in RR) doesn't mean it can't be fixed <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

And here is a definit release date that we know is universally correct. Yes you heard me <b>universally</b> correct. And that release date is....





....when it's done! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Sorry if you think I'm sounding a bit too harsh, but it's the truth one way or another.

Forlorn

We have so many people working on 2.1 if it comes out unbalanced then we should consider it a monumental failure of humanity.

And yes, it will be ready when it's ready...

SwampRat

i reckon that it wont be released "when its done"
prolly a few days/weeks after <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->)
