Beta4 Release

DiScIpLeOfChRiSt · April 2004

Do you think that beta4 will be released around midnight tonight? Or will it be released sometime during the day friday?

Nurot · April 2004

Let me just say for a fact late afternoon or evening at earliest for beta 4 tommorow, trust me on this one <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

During the day usually.

olisis · April 2004

Golly, I hope it comes out at midnight, so I can play it before my brother gets his greasy hands on it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' />

Nurot · April 2004

Definately not at midnight, due to certain facts I'm putting my money at not before 3 pm eastern time US

Marik_Steele · April 2004

I'm going to do something Max seems to have turned into an art form: make a single-line powerful post straight from the source.

*clears throat*Ahem.*clears throat.*

Flayra has given 3.0 Beta 4's release date as "Friday, April 23rd."

As a personal aside: high school students on the US' east coast should <i>not</i> try skipping the last few hours of school in hopes of "downloading it before the servers get crowded and slow." First off, you don't know when during the day it'll get released. Second, if previous experience tells us anything, there will be enough mirrors and bittorrent links for everyone, so stay attentive during the school day knowing you'll be able to party with beta 4 for the weekend.

Fro5ty · April 2004

I know of NOTHING released for NS that came out at midnight. From what I know, the devs have set-up earlier play-tests with the testers before release to make sure there aren't any mess-ups or bugs. Best bet has usually been 8 PM CST and it will be there. But the change logs have usually been posted early in the day, so you can read it, drool and be anticipating it while at school. >:D

Alcapwn · April 2004

yup-but to my personal experince i think it will be released anyhwere from 6pm-9pm on friday...

...<b><i>If they release it</i></b>

2.0=around 9pm i think. I was in IRC for the party...

3.0=around 6pm cause it came out right at my dinner time and i was dl'ing it while eating...

hehe. Like that's going to happen.

I've got no lectures Friday last, so I can be ready and waiting...

Now to write a program that refreshes the downloads page every 20 seconds...

douchebagatron · April 2004

Gerald_R_Ford · April 2004

I would be surprised if it came out before 3pm esatern. Consties and PT are going to do a quick playtest of it during the day.

Sops · April 2004

Updates are never posted at mid night, they are almost always put up between 4-6:00pm (DS update comes first)

olisis · April 2004

Maybe we will get to see the change log at midnight?

Sops · April 2004

I beleive Flayra said he had something big he was changing, if thats true he may not want to post a change log, or at the most he would post a edited change log

Talesin · April 2004

Given that the prelim-beta hasn't happened yet, that release date is (as always) subject to change if a major bug is discovered.

I hope that doesn't happen.

NuclearCoreMeltdown · April 2004

What is the rules for say, hosting the update? Cause I play at one server, and I was wondering if I could host it for the community I play with.

::marine#1 :So... do you have any idea about the Beta 4 changelog?
::marine#2 :Of course! I heard from this friend who knows this guy who seen this other guy draw a picture of a skulk say that the big new thing will be adding non playable characters into the enviroment.
::marine#1 :Really! Like bugs around the hives? Or maybe scientists to rescue from the guys we shoot at all the time?
::marine#2 :No way, newb. They're adding these multi-colored skulls that bounce around the walls. Apparently, if one touches you, you're movement will be reversed! And another one makes it to where you can't use your 'B' button!
::marine#1 :Wow! I cant fire my weapon without my 'B' button. That sounds dangerous.

A lerk, not so far away, flies off to inform his buddies.

::lerk :Hey, Spaz. I'm back.
::gorge : Did ya find out! Did ya, did ya, did ya!
::lerk :Calm down, Fatty. Of course I found out.
::skulk :No way. That's impossible. Whatever info those two-leggers gave you was a lie.
::fade :Someone talking about me?
::skulk :Sorry, Frank. I forgot that not everybody evolves the same way.
::fade :Gee whiz! You're nice to not make fun of poor ol' me. I remember one day I was-
::lerk :Hey! Hey! Anyway. The big Beta 4 changelog is this... Cursed Skulks.
::skulk :What? Like how?
::gorge :Hey, your a skulk!
::skulk :Shut up!
::lerk :Seriously, the guy said that these skulks will make the marines act stupid. Like poison or something.
::skulk Awesome! Bring on the Beta, baby!
::lerk :I wouldn't get so excited, apparently, to offset this new ability, skulks wil be very colorful.
::skulk :****! I'll be like a stupid rainbow.
::lerk :You want to talk about it?
::skulk :I... gotta go... I'll see ya around... maybe

::fade :Wow. poor guy. Larry?
::lerk :Yes?
::fade :I like the way I am.
::lerk :We all do, Frank. We all do...

Edit: Would of had emoticons, but was limited.

Zek · April 2004

When it's released depends entirely on the private test scheduled for early Friday afternoon. If things go well it will probably be out Friday evening/night. If not, there are no guarantees.
