Was playtesting done with 1.01 and 1.02? If so, how much?

    Considering how quickly they were released, I doubt extensive playtesting was possible.

    Most likly they took the most important bugs on the pile, fixed em, did a quick test to make sure it didn't kill the mod, and released. That RP bug was pretty damaging, so it needed to get out the door pretty quick.

    Considering the NS team performed pretty much 4 months of extensive playtesting before the game was even released, I would be afraid if they followed that same pattern for each patch release <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you hung out in the IRC channel #naturalselection, you'd notice that Flayra occasionally dropped by and gave out the IP and password to a test server for the latest beta version of NS. But yeah, it was a pretty quick process for the most part, didn't take more than a week or two.
