Some people saw the site and registered on the forums and never posted.
I just started posting last month, even though I read before that.
Ya'll are to soft. Read the post that says "READ BEFORE POSTING". Illiteracy is the only excuse for this post... but then that would mean... O well just go read it, Reading all the crap you can teaches you neat stuff, and strips you of the title newbie.
'ello. Welcome to the forums. The mod'll be done when it's done. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> There is a bit of news on the front page that should show you how done we are.
Ya ya ya, I know, I know, so easy to say "It'll be done when it's done, now shoo! and no more questions or speculating" when you're a playtester. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
sigh, schools starts monday and still no ns... what a depressing way to end the summer <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->
i startet last week...no NS...new shcool...bummer!
but it is true that i properly wont be more than a month or 2 i think...or if we're unlucky 5-2000 years...but hey...im positive in my aditude! <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
just outa curiousity, when they make changes to the game, do the playtesters have to download the entire game over and over again or is it kinda like a patch?
well lucky me, i still have another month of summer <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Like I'm taunting you or something?
Listen here.
What happens if Flayra were to say, give a release date of Smotober 35, 1965.
Smotomber 35, 1965 rolls around and there is still quite a bit that needs to be added to the game. Such as gameplay, art, bug fixing, optimizing .. what ever.
What happens then? His e-mail explodes with 5000 e-mail of angry little people because he didnt release the mod when he said he would. Then, he may give in to the barrage of angry people (like they really have a reason to be angry anyway) and releases the mod in a very bad, unplayable state. He'd lose many potential players and NS would get a rather bad rap from players/reviews/what ever.
Or, what happens if he tries to rush through it because the date he said was approaching. Would you rather he make 'Quick Fixes' that made the game look horrible? Or perhaps had an adverse effect on the gameplay?
Saying 'When its done' releaves developers of the pressure to get it out of the door at that time. So they work at thier own pace, and get the code working the right way.
Even if he were to give an 'estimation' of lets say, 5 months - I'd bet none of you would take it as an estimation, but as an offical word the mod was going to be released then. 7 months roll around, then people start complaining it was supposed to be out 2 months ago .. blah blah blah.
Listen, the world is not out to get you .. ok?
Just chill, take a breather and go do something to occupy your time. Get into other games. You dont have to follow the mod 100% of the day.
My advise to you people, take a break from NS. Seriously, just put it out of your head for like - a month or what ever. When you come back, they'll be plenty of new suprises for you and perhaps a release. Its working with me for TF2, CoH and SW:G. I really am not following those games, at all. So, when the release finally comes out - I'll be suprised not only by the fact its out, but by the stuff thats included I didn't know was in it.
Alas, I fear most of this will fall on deaf ears though ... <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm just .. ugh .. so upset right now ... You think I wouldn't be saying it if I wasn't a playtester?
What about Flayra? eh? 'Its so easy to tell people to stop speculation when your the dev ...'
