    As many as it takes?

    As previously stated ... 3.0 will be out when it's done.

    Does it really matter? The games going to just keep changing till the mod dies anyway (no time soon i hope).

    Who cares, I love the betas, it is fun going through the balancing and stuff.
    Do you want an unbalanced NS just for the sake of a few less downloads?

    I have nothing against betas its just that the servers have to keep godam changing all the time and it gets kinda annoing <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You need to learn how to be patient. Seriously, its just a game.

    I guess 3 or 4 more betas, but there is not an exact number.
  • EpidemicEpidemic Dark Force Gorge Join Date: 2003-06-29 Member: 17781Members

    I remember seeing a post once from somone asking why we, the public cant get involved in beta testing, and why only constellation memebers get to do it..

    And now they have released it to the public, and indeed, got us involved in feeding back our opinions.. we get people asking how long its going to take for the final?

    <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    maybe this is why they didnt want to do it in the first place, because we would get alot of updates and people will get annoyed with having to change all the time..

    But I would rather this and get to see and play the game in develpment than just wait for the final, and read topics that go on forever about how things should be changed!

    I dont really express much opinion on what I think should be changed or not.. but I do like discovering the little tweaks they've made and how such small things have such large impacts on the game..

    I say.. keep the betas coming.

    Tho there will have to be a point at which they must stop, leave it for a while, then release a final.

    I guess the reason why there is so many at the moment is because they are discovering obvious things that need changing, since the public release?

    There'll be beta 4, 5, 7, and the secret bonus beta if you collect all of the "EXTEND" letters.
  • taboofirestaboofires Join Date: 2002-11-24 Member: 9853Members
    If you take a look at the beta 3 changelog, pretty much all that's changed is new content in the form of map changes, a couple fixes, and undoing the things that sucked in beta 2.

    I take that as close to done. That doesn't even really mean anything, though, as I expect a 3.01 or something will be released eventually when more oddities get discovered, +/- some balance changes.

    I never meant that i am sick of all these changing betas etc, its just that ive got a 56k and I really want to get into NS, but i have decided im going to wait till 3.0 final. It would just take too damn long for me to download 3 beta, then have to download 3.0 final all over again.

    I just wanted to get a rough estimate of how long i'll be waiting before i can have a try at NS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    When the final version will be out, Steam will automatically update ns.

    I hope this will happen sooooon, no more patching <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    personally i have no problem reading the changelog
    and using that know-how to gain an advantage over the other team.

    knowing the onos is a paper bag before playing really helps.

    Sadly, many of my teammates do have a problem with it.

    "Oh, onos is 75 res now? LOL, I was on 75 10 minutes ago!"

    *Sigh*.

    Yeah that was really important to know, now. Though, of course how important it is depends on whether you are talking about serious play or pub play.
