    Arses, it will take at least 6 months before they even look towards NS again.

    /End of speculation.

    THIS JUST IN! BETA SIX IS GOLD!

    Hmm, what? We don't distribute on CDs? Wait, it's not even done yet? Oh, right, right. Hmm, must have been HL2 I was thinking of.

    That's not gold either? You're kidding me! You are kidding me, right? No? *sigh*

    B6 is going to be a great patch, making NS fun again.

    Or more likely it'll fix stuff that didn't need fixing, break things that didn't need breaking, and completely avoid the real issues with the game.

    What will come out first... HL2, NS, or Playstation 32...

    Im guessing... in this order

    1. NS (6 months or so)
    2. Playstation 32 (year 2600)
    3. Hl2 (Apocalypse minus 3 days)

    They have been making beta6 changelogs. It's been 5 weeks, I predict within the next 3 weeks they will have a product up.

    Of course, this is open to bets.

    What I meant was, surely there's something in there that they know for a fact will make the release, right? If so, then why not release some of them in announcements like with B5? <i>Anything</i> to confirm the progress being made on the build would satisfy us plebs more than the relative silence coming from the devs right now.

    You mean like...

    I'd tell you, but then I'd get banned


    So you can fill in the blanks here about the particular change I speak of:

    p--s--e -e-e-


    If you can figure out the letters missing, you will have one of the bigger changes in b6!


    Good luck...

    There are several big changes that are being tested. Yes, as in today. However, you'll have to be patient. The more we rush it out, the worse it'll be.

    You also have to realize that the playtesters are a fairly diverse group from what I've seen. There are some widely varied opinions (which is a Good Thing ™.)

    In the end, we'll probably make a lot of people temporarily angry (judging from past experience as a non-pt). The hope is that in the end, NS will be better. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'm also a little fuzzy on why the build needs to be fully balance tested before it's released... Public or private, it's still a beta. The optional test versions of 2.01 worked reasonably well too.

    Think regular regen except 1-2 health per always on does not make a noise (Hopfully). It makes sense to have at least some regen. In starcraft zerg had regen 1 health per 5 secs or something like that(That was useless).

    The most likely reason for there having to be behind the seen play testing is because:
    A. There would be so many updates that we could not keep up
    B. At times there’s probably some really messed up stuff in there that’s being tweaked
    C. Every time we would start playing something would be different
    D. How would u make sure everyone is on the same version which references back to A.
    E. Some one new to the game would not understand if there were constant changes and stuff broken in the game

    And I like the over all idea of just a few select group of people dealing with development and testing than a really large group because two many cooks in the kitchen causes a bigger mess than with just a few.
