3.0b is out, yes. It's a private beta for PT, Vets and CMs. There is still no known date for NS3.0, if there was, it would say on the site. But it doesn't.
It seams like flayra is adding so much new stuff, that 3.0 won't be released, and he'll change the name to 4.0 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Seriously though, I kind of wish that the grenades weren't added to 3.0 so that the release would come sooner. Every new thing he adds, just extends the release date farther. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
I feel the exact opposite! As painful as waiting is, I want a balanced and interesting, new content-rich 3.0 release.
This is why people go crazy trying to decide when enough is enough <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Adding a hand grenade isn't going to extend the release date much. Maybe a few days, but it's.. well, a grenade... From what I understand, the fixes for the grenade are simple.
The main thing is the server performance... My last game, I had a face-wollopping 4095 ms ping. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
in my opinon.... They should just release 3.0.... with the steam advantage, people can release **** unbalancced games and have it updated the next day... however, if everyone downloads a **** version of NS, some people may not like it and never play the game again. so its good to wait for it to be the best release ever, but in my opion it is possible for the dev team to release it next week.
yes, that is what i tried to say in my post, however, why add keep on adding new feautures when that can be done post release? many people want teh game now, so it might just be best if they fix all the remaining bugs and release it, then they can release updates periodically.
You don't want to play the game until the server performance issue is fixed. Or do you LIKE pings upwards of a thousand? On a cable modem. In the same region as the server.

Its buggy and unbalanced, and generally not fun to play due to the current balance...but balance tweaking hasn't started properly and won't begin until the bugs are squashed...bugs before balance is what the devs say.

Seriously, if you want the game now, send $20 to Flayra and play.
3.0 will be done when it is done. Not before. The bug database is hyoooge, and Mr. Flay is working his <i>arse</i> off to get rid of the server performance issues, so hush. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

People, Trust us when we tell you that 3.0 isn't ready yet.
The bugs are almost all gone except for 1, the most damned 1 there still is. LAG, BAD LAG, LAG that makes you wish you were dead! LAG that makes it seem like god is punishing you Lag lik... Ok you get the Idea!
The game still needs to fix this 1 problem and once its gone the balance issues that flayra hasn't fixed yet (very few) will be done in days.
As soon as this Performance issue is fixed, I can see 3.0 being released the next week!

Patience.. or 20 bucks.. is a virtue.
