<div class="IPBDescription">I know when ns will be out.....</div>A few mounths ago on the NS newspage, a notice said NS was about 2 years in the making, add 2 years + the time since that post and we come out with a number just over 750, so we will use that for our math....

Recently a post gave a update on how far everything is coming. It looks close to completion, when totaling the %'s it is about 90%... Another # we will use for our math

Now if we take the 90% we see we need 10% more completion, 10% of the time passed so far is 75, so we have 75 more days of development.... atleast....

That number tells us we have over 10 more weeks, over 10 more PT's, however we need one more PT since they happen every friday, we need to test the stuff we add the last few days...

So that comes out to 11 more weeks about... no more ranting about when it will be relesed, i cracked the case, sovled the puzzle, un-frizzled the choatic... Maybe this will help everyones 'addictions'...


SIDE NOTES:
Thanks for fixing my acct. Monse 8-).  Please take note: This math was done at 3am last night... it is probly off by a day or 2.... also remeber this isn't ment to be taken realisticly.... just a joke...   <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Interesting that someone would take the time to figure all of that.  You get props for attempting it in the morning.

    /me hands Vober for pulling a number out of thin air!

    Well, guess all you want, but the game will come out when it is ready! It could be 5 weeks, or 20 weeks (I doubt the later). Programming commander mode took a LONG time, so your whole math is wrong in the fact that the stuff they are doing now is most likely easier/not the same stuff. There is no more commander mode to code or linux server to fully code, just bug test, and testing for bugs has no set time frame <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    out of thin air? nah, I simply took the #'s given to me by.... whoever writes the news page...

    And as for the factor of new people on the team.... hmm...

    I think that would have to be an exponitial growth problem....

    Ill let you take care of that part... for me Ill say 10 weeks instead of 11  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Trivia fact: Right after the #'s were posted on the main page someone did this exact calculation and his post got nuked.

    Remember that those number where posted weeks ago, and really they were just to try and get everyone on the forums to stop asking for the release date. I believe they mean nothing.
  • ZcaliberZcaliber Join Date: 2002-01-26 Member: 93Members
    I think they're random numbers generated over 80. ^^;;

    What I'd like to know is what's left now. =\

    It'll be RC 18 before we get this.  <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->  'Course whining about it does'nt help... The only other option: Stasis! =D

    You do realize it's threads like these that just put even more pressure on Flayra and the rest of the DEV team, it's been said over and over that people need to STOP speculating.
