imageWhere are the Reinforcement Program rewards?! - Natural Selection 2

Last week, we launched the Reinforcement Program, allowing you to donate to NS2 development and receive some sweet rewards in return. At each step of the purchase process, there is red text warning you that the rewards are not yet in-game, and that we hope to begin phasing in the rewards on September 3rd. Well, it is September 3rd, and the rewards are not in game. Which means we are bad people, and you are rightfully wondering where the hell your rewards are! We apologise sincerely – We are working on them non-stop around the clock. Here is proof that we are well advanced in getting them into the game: This screenshot was posed and taken today at 1823PST …

    Although I'm not enrolled on the reinforcement program (yet), a big thanks for keeping us updated! :) Can imagine it's been pretty tough on you guys to get it all up and running with PAX and everything atm. Keep up the good work!

    Unfortunately, Clang still isn't out, either.

    Any chance we'll be able to add custom soundtrack files (such as those from NS1) into the game? I miss that menu theme. Also, maybe it's just me, but the black armor looks as though it green hands in the first-person model.

    Heh the wait will be worth it thou I still kind of wish there were more moments you can see your own skin ((perhaps animated taunts that take you to third person view)) as well as a model viewer to see which model you currently have selected.

    Is it me or is the shadow skulk harder to see? Reward or not, the re-skins better not give other players any unfair advantage.

    Is it harder to see the alpha black armor? Yes. Does it really make any kind of big difference in game play. Nope.

    Even though the rewards aren't ready yet it means a lot that you're willing to apologize and give us an update. It is greatly appreciated :)

    @james888 um... aliens had alien vision and the current vision as well... BLACK ARMOR is of no advantage because for aliens they are simply florescent... however rines do not have any visual enhancements (aside from exo) so a black skulk will be advantageous...

    They usually try to minimize the number of updates as to not drive the server operators crazy lol. Remember that in addition to the new content they are likely working on multiple bug fixes and other slight changes that were not covered by the last patch. So even if they have the content ready something like a bug patch that was scheduled for the build could delay it so that they do not need to release multiple patches only a day or so apart. Generally multiple ns2 patches occur with weekly spacing unlike last week where we saw a lot close together due to the size and complexity of the changes.

    How do I get my forum badge, I just paid and followed the instructions, but no forum badge yet :-(
    Should I re-do the reward page from the humble bundle link? I just changed my email address as well.

    Never mind, I see a happy shadow babbler on my post :-).

    It wont take weeks to get the rewards out guys. Can't say for 100% certain due to the nature of patches, but it's pretty damn soon. :)

    In the mail you got for your purchase, find the link to the humble bundle page (and login/register to humblebundle if necessary and then maybe claim that purchase). There should be a button on the purchase page under a title that says "NS2 Reinforced Shadow Rewards". The button has a cd key or something like that in it. Click that one and follow instructions.

    First of all, I want to thank everyone at UWE for the dedicated support they have given this game since inception, I absolutely love this game, even amid all of the awesome shooters out there (Metro LL, Planetside 2, Crysis 3 etc.) and still return to it, it is that kind of magical game. With that out of the way I donated at the $75 level but have not received any kind of notification via email (delay?) or by way of steam that there is any kind of change to the game. No rush, I just would like to get the goodies offered for donating, hopefully there is some form of email or something. If youre a moderator here, you can easily look up the email associated with my profile and go from there. Thanks again UWE! (P.S. getting some weird behavior with Nvidia SLI, only with AFR 2 am I getting anything higher than 40% core utilization 2nd GPU and for the life of me I cannot seem to induce V-Sync, even by forcing it via Nvidia Control Panel and Nvidia Inspector, the frames will hike up and over 120+FPS in the menu and will "hang-out" at 70-80+, even with all settings maxed (680M SLI overclocked, 47k GPU 3DMarkVantage). Is there a way to get V-sync working again? I have a 60 Hz monitor and would rather give my GPU's a break, 140 FPS in the menu results in temps in the high 70's (C).

    Best thing about the main menu sound mods is that they remove the god awful ambient buzzing noise. A++
