    Just read the email, Flay, and I can say that it will definitely help. The game is ready now as of 3.0g in my opinion. The new alien armor absorption changes are the biggest. It is closer to being balanced than it ever was from my playing experience, dating back to the JP-HMG rushes of 1.04 to the regeneration onos in 2.01.

    Now is the time. The public awaits and I can tell them right now that 3.0 is kickass!

    I really don't know what to think. There are both pros and cons. At least this means that we'll get to have more servers to play on.

    This is a holiday.

    Which means, undebatably, 3.x was released this holiday season.

    Thank you.

    This could be very good for the development of 3.0, but I just hope the average person who gets their hands on the public beta will be mature about it. I really would not like to see a repeat of the public whining that 2.01c brought.

    To the future! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Try reloading the page.

    If that doesn't work, here's the news:<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->[ 1/23/04 ]:: Moving right along

    We have made great progress on 3.0, and are close to release. Many people thought that when we announced we were releasing "this holiday season", that mean before New Year's Eve. We apologize if that was misleading. We take our release dates very seriously and don't want to mislead people. It's been changed to "this winter", to avoid any more confusion. We had a January release in mind, and we hope to be able to stick to that...

    In order to facilitate communication with the community, we've set up a few <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/mailman/listinfo' target='_blank'>NS mailing lists</a>. We have one for mappers to learn about late-breaking news and get their questions answered, one for file mirrors, and (soon) one to keep up to date with community events. These lists will soon be integrated more directly with the site and the forums, but they are functional now. Click the "mailing lists" link above to join. Of course, we will never ever spam you or give out your information to anyone. The lists are just getting going, but they're functional, so go sign up for any you are interested in.

    After many months of productive playtesting and balance work with around 2000 Constellation members and Veterans, we feel like we are ready for the next step. We just can't get the kind of balance and compatibility testing we need by running all the playtest servers ourselves, and we want to give back to the ever-patient greater NS community. So instead of waiting until v3.0 is totally complete before release, we're going to release the beta to the public. We don't have the exact date yet, but we expect that the v3.0g beta is the build we're going to release to everyone, just as soon as we get everything in order.

    The NS dev team wants to personally thank everyone that helped test, and especially to the Constellation members that have donated to further NS development. If you see any Constellation members on a server, be sure to thank them for their contributions. Without their contributions, you probably wouldn't even be playing v2.01 right now...<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    <span style='color:red'>PUBLIC BETA</span>
  • ZeroByteZeroByte Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 3057Members
    Ehh... I'm kinda apprehensive about this. The general public don't reallly see much difference between a beta and a final release. Unless they're a real fan, players who start out NS on a 3.0 beta <b>will</b> have the wrong impressions if the gameplay is unbalanced. I dunno if they will see this as a chance to balance out the game or just as another release.

    On the other hand, we'll get to play NS 3.0 for ourselves! Hurrah! It'll be pretty cool to be able to contribute to it's development and stuff.
  • PathPath Join Date: 2003-06-28 Member: 17745Members
    Ha.ze needs glasses... Flay said he'd be doing a public beta of 3.0 because the 3.0g build was looking nice (as a matter of fact, thats the build he said they'd probably release). Or something to that extent. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes, it is an issue... The 2.01 releases caused a lot of commotion and trouble, even with players who were hardly entirely completely nubs (wow, I just used a lot of -ly). So, on the one hand, I'm thrilled to get a chance to break 3.0 (in the nicest way possible!) before a "final" release. On the other hand, I fear again the insane screeching.

    Love ya, Flay. I will find $20, sometime. Honest.
