Typical. About 500 new members join the forums the day of NS's release. I think some minor speed tweaks for the skulk and fade were also implemented, making them a <i>tad</i> slower. That's all I cought though.

Somebody asked about the official playtest server. Additionally Khaim suggested that they were running the new patch. However, as I stated, the server is down at the moment, so its information won't refresh. Thusly, when I cut and paste, it still has the "1.01" in the name.
BTW Khaim, excellent game the other day <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> You nearly had us <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Me too... I've only lost 2-3 games as a commander and they were due to skulk rushes. One of them due to the stupid marines running off before everything was built and the other times I had 3 or 4 people on my team versus about 6 skulks.
Skulk rushes are the sweetest and most embittering things in the world. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
This patch rocks my bilebomb finally hurts the buildings I didn't even know that was because there was a new patch out. Well nice job on it so far. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I love doing that as a sulk and stopping it as a commander. A lot of people also don't realise that if you put 2 turret factories down in one area both need to be destroyed and thus makes the base A LOT hard to kill (seems like common sense doesn't it?)
hmmm Well when I heard that it was on Vada's server I went to check it out... I have to say that it was laggyer than anything I've seend sine the night it came out and people who shoudl ahve been running 4 person servers were running 30... It was that unplayable and I don't think I was the only one having problems. It was next to impossible to kill a skulk cause one second he's there and then he uses blink... I didn't know skulks had blink... :O Anyways I really didn't see any improvement in playability althuogh my latency numbers looked like they'd gone down some... wierd.
Let me just say that the changelog for 1.02 is <b>NOT</b> set yet and what you've seen posted here has errors in it. I didn't want the server admins to post the changelog, because then everyone talks about it, then when I change it for the real release, people don't get updated and everyone's spreading confusion. Please don't view that changelog as the 1.02 changelog, because it ain't.
That said, 1.02 is in testing and you'll see it very soon. It mostly fixes bugs and exploits, it probably won't have any overt balance changes.
I am really awaiting the 1.02 patch. Exactly the bug and exploit fixis like with marine hitboxes (or what ever is causing their invulnerabality). If you want to know more about read the Invulnerabe Marines topic (there are also some pictures showing it in action.)
There are really no balance tweaks needed. The game is very good balanced. Today we were able to destroy a marine base with 30 turrets on ns_tanith with only two fades (2 hives, regeneration, adrenaline - level three) only using acid rockets (but there were no aliens, because we were only testing if it is possible).
