Comments
So is it officially released?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Checked steam - it said update required, so yes. Eagerly anticipating patch notes.
I could say that I'm sorry for them, but it may not have that fuzzy appeal you desire

<u><b>Metal Handkerchief:</b></u>
Well it's possible they could have moved the beta to the official release by accident when they actually wanted to update the beta only
Probably not real likely, but I don't know how different it is on their end to change the two

Feels more real coming from you. . .
Are you a playtester by chance? I'm not sure what all the badges are

The orange Skulk icon and my forum title are a hint :P
* crag heals min(maxHealth * 0.05 + 10, 60) per tick
* crag heal wave heals min(maxHealth * 0.05 + 10, 60) * 2.5 per tick
* a player that uses pre-evolved eggs, will lose his upgrades
ACTIVE ICONS
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/constellation.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Constellation. User donated to UWE during the NS1 days when Charlie was living off past-due milk in a tiny apartment.
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/Squad5Blue.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Squad Five Blue. User has been recognized by the Squad 5 program as having contributed to the promotion of NS2. Blue is the lowest level.
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/Squad5Silver.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Squad Five Silver. User has been recognized by the Squad 5 program as having contributed in a significant fashion to the promotion of NS2. Silver is the middle level.
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/Squad5Gold.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Squad Five Gold. User has been recognized by the Squad 5 program as having contributed in a major fashion to the promotion of NS2. Gold is the highest level.
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/playtester.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Playtester. User is or was an NS1 or NS2 playtester.
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/developer_retired.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Retired developer. User was an NS1 or NS2 developer who has since retired. Almost all of these users are retired NS1 developers rather than NS2.
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/developer.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Developer. User is either an employee of UWE, a contracter, or a volunteer developer.
<img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/icons/ns2prespecial.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = NS2 special edition pre-order. Nobody but devs actually have these yet, so I may be mis-interpreting the filename.
DEPRECATED ICONS
<img src="http://www.lunixmonster.org/images/icons/vet.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /> = Veteran. This icon was used at one time to denote members of clans that had been selected for the "Veterans" program, which was basically a core group of active clans.
I think that's all of them. Anybody know if I'm missing any?
EDIT: Amusingly enough, Charlie and Max have both the retired and active developer icons at the same time ;)
We need a nutrient mist on the patch notes!
Would you prefer that they release the patch notes and have it buggy, or wait a few hours so that nobody crashes while reading it on the front page? I'd definitely say the latter.
Wow entitlement much? Wait <!--coloro:orange--><span style="color:orange"><!--/coloro-->*SNIP*<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

This needs to be in at some point and I'm surprised it isn't already this way.
Sure it'd be annoying to have to choose celerity and carapace again if that's what you're going with. But what if you want to change your upgrades? Evolving to a new lifeform with pres allows you this freedom. Maybe you're a gorge, and want to evolve onos with carapace, but you've already gotten adrenaline? Should you have to unevolve gorge into skulk with celerity (and whatever upgrades the onos needs) just so you can get the right upgrade? Or if you're already skulk, and want a different upgrade, you have to type kill in console to get the lifeform with the upgrades you want.
Oooh, that's nice. I hated forgetting that I was running around with my usual skulk upgrades when I used an Onos egg, as I prefer the exact opposite ones for an Onos, and ended up stuck as an Onos with upgrades I didn't want.

It already worked like that, it was just the commander dropped eggs that didn't give you the option to rechoose your upgrades based on the life form for that egg.
Breath in, breath out. Good. Two more times.
There we go.
As others have stated, they will be posted soon. I am much more concerned with the actual patch than getting notes out at the exact same second that the patch goes live to hundreds of people around the globe.

Stop being logical brian. The interwebs is a serious place.
First round, first combat in 229? Could be related to preloading stuff like shaders. Not if it is constantly though...
That's what I was talking about? If that's the case, if you want to go into an onos egg but you have an upgrade you don't want, you have no way to rechoose it beyond evolving to a new lifeform with the upgrade you want, or typing kill in console, before you go into the commander dropped egg.
Hehe no, if you have evolutions on your alien and jump into an Onos egg. The game deselects your evolutions and you can re-choose them after you're done evolving into the Onos (using the commander dropped egg)
It is an extra step, but it is the better one of the two evils, with giving you the option to re-choose your evolutions. Just as if you evolve using your own pres :)
[edit]
228 this was not possible
229 this is now possible :)
The problem went away after a few games and i'm back to normal bad but playable fps so im very happy.
