Im not sure....maybe I'm wrong.... but my clan is trying to be a vet for a month now... we sent at least two e-mails.... (its known that if you want to perticipate in the testing all you need is to send an e-mail with your clan description + 10 players or so).....
Now I heard few other clans has the same problam......
I would like to know, if any one does know... why is the hold up? at start I thought its cause of new years...but I guess its not...
Please help me <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Maybe the vet program finally stopped from getting more people vet.
    I hope so <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Heh. I haven't seen Elven online for a while, so maybe he just hasn't gotten around to entering the vets in the program. I hear he does it in batches.

    They've been loaded with emails since Charlies started the Clans that are active get vet. So give them some more time. You're not missing out on much.

    AFAIK, no new clans are being added to the Vet program until the requirement for 4 scrims per week is enforced. Which will be when Classic NS is fit for scrimming (lag/balance issues).

    So hold tight, and you'll be added when these things get sorted out.

    If you ask me, they'd better be checking whether clans are really active or just a group of 8 people together who decided to get 3.0
    I don't think that the 4 pcw a week thing is done, or else I know some teams that shouldn't be there <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You can be both vet and constie of course, but you get only one icon. Nothing prevents you from being a constie except an empty bank account or no debit card.

    NS is pretty playable at this point ( although not that balanced), so I do hope that Elven will eneveutally actually enforce the rule.

    Yeti|IL I have the same problem, cept mines a little different since I am in Australia. My clan is been entered into some program in which clan members are given Veteran status, the guy who arranged it, sent an email about 1 to 2 weeks before new years, and sent another one 4 days ago, I have no idea about the hold up, I guess they are just a little backed up at the moment, give them another week or 2.

    /me smirks at suggestions of giving it a "week or two"

    More like a few months. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Too true, I think many clans will never get vet status.

    Flayra has closed the application process for clans, excuse being that the current version is "un-scrimmable."

    As if the disregaurded clans, like my own, care. The truth is you ARE missing much, anyone who says otherwise is either foolish or stating malarkey (BS) to placate the masses. When they say "Don't worry skills will still be good in the new version" thats entirely wrong.

    Aliens:
    Focus (no more bitespam)
    Totally different lerk flight system (you have to learn flying all over again)
    Lerkbite (Yeah, you have to relearn that, or for the first time if you didn't lerk much in 1.0x)
    Fades are nerfed greatly (and are even more fragile than before)
    It seems lerk skills are far more important than fade skills this version and for a fadist of 2.0, you are SOL.)

    Marines:

    Mines take up space, can't be stacked, and can be used to climb walls (Your fade/onos traps are no longer in the game)
    More importantly <b><span style='color:red'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>CORRECTED HITBOXES </span></span></b>which may mean easier firing on the higher evolutions, but if you have gotten used to shooting above the skulk <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(because even if they are jumping they still will still get hit due to taller hitboxes)</span> you will be getting nothing but air.

    <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>That's right the most basic matchup skulk vs rine you have learn how to shoot again (GLHF)</span>

    The clans that do not have access to the beta will be at a severe disadvantage to the clans that did get it. The clan scene is dying, this, everyone knows. So instead of halting applications, let in the clans and just enforce the rule, you might not
    catch all slackers but you would catch some that everyone knows are inactive; and provide incentive for clans to keep active. There is no server thats really a challenge on steam, and most of the WON servers are empty (Hamptons is down too). The people who are worth fighting are busy betatesting and playing 3.0 while I feel my skills decay with a lack of good opponents. I was slightly outclassed before but now I feel the skill diference growing all the time.

    When someone from another clan comes on to your vent server and wants you to come to 3.0 because its supposedly the same couple of teams scrimming eachother over and over again. There's a need, and I (and I think I speak for the rest of the clan when I say this) would be happy to get on and scrim against you and fullfil this need for competition. I'm not going to pretend to know why we have only 2 guys burdened with all this work, I assume there is a good reason, but if the burden were shared more ways I think we could take care of backed up applications faster.

    If this doesnt make to much sense, my bad, I wrote this at 5am.

    Sorry if I am cynical but thanks to this little fiasco, there are times when I feel like switching games altogether.

    You forgot to mention the many hundreds of bugs we encounter in dail games, ie marine team crashing out after 1st round (fixed now tho).

    This new steam hitbox issue sounds like a very big and bad bug read <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=58784' target='_blank'>here</a>.

    This will really cause a stir for playtesting especially being steam based. With these kinds of bugs i could understand not wanting to allow more people into the system to whine about the problem.

    Hey INF long time no see <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As noted in numerous such threads, vet acceptance is halted for now, it'll continue as soon as the major bugs are resolved. Please wait until then - your request <i>will</i> be processed.
