<div class="IPBDescription">I would like to see more news though.</div> I honestly don't care when 3.0 gets released. Although flayra has stated (I think it was flayra) in the news post on natural-selection.org that it would be out in the holiday season. I am disappointed that we haven't at least heard from the team yet, but that is understandable, this is the holidays and they probably have families to attend to like the rest of us.
<i>(That means all of you forumgoers who have been whining about the lack of NS 3.0 should get out of your computer chairs and visit yours, possibly get some fresh air, man you all stink.)</i> (<!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Anyway, I really am disappointed by the lack of news, more than the lack of the next version. The next version can wait as far as I'm concerned. But it bothers me that the community isn't kept up to date at all.
Of course we're frothing at the mouth about this, we haven't heard any news in weeks. Natural-Selection.org hasnt been updated for a while, rather, its more like a big advertisement than a homepage. And readyroom.org isn't much better, they havent posted much in a long time either.
All I'd like to see is that the community is given more honest information and kept up to date with news about what is going on with the development process.
Why is everything so hush hush?
Edit: I suck, bad grammar, should have used preview, blah blah blah, please flame me for any mistakes I missed.

playtesting has reached a halt... with the next patch, there will be more news.
classic NS has been deemed un-playable with a hole in the resource system
Combat has reached a "play cheap... or lose" point... with no balance or counter to onos or Jetpacks...
so until the next patch, there is nothing we can really say...

Errr.. what?
The counter to jetpacks are onos.
Though I have no idea how Flayra's real-life happenings are going for the holidays, this reminded me that he may be busy doing paperwork, legal mumbo-jumbo, or other such things to start Unknown Worlds Entertainment (refer to NS's official website and <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=57372&st=0' target='_blank'>this thread</a> for more info.)

Though many think it's the other way around, including much of the dev/pt team.
But Del's right. There is no new news besides that there is no new news. There, I've updated you completely. Yay.

Shrug. I've always heard JPs were meant to be the Oni counter but no, never actually heard that was the case in combat. Still, if that's the case, an Onos has no counter so...
When its head can lash out at the speed of a scorpion's sting and grab that sucker from miles away, <b><i>EVERYTHING</i></b> changes. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
My main point was that the ns.org and rr.org sites aren't updated as frequently as they could be. Sometimes no news can be good news, but other times, more news is better news.
A lot of us just feel like we're in the dark. The playtesters arent, and may take certain common knowledge things for granted, but the rest of us don't have much of a clue how things are really going. All we see is an occasional changelog, and fansite links.
WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS, YOU WILL BE TOLD ABOUT IT.
^^
*holiday season comes*
"Hey, how come the new NS hasn't been released yet? When will it be?"
"It'll be done when it's done"
"but why?"
"OMG SUYF N00B STOP ASKING TEH QUESTION"
"but-"
"TEH GAEM IS MAED BY FLARYA FOR FREE ADN YUO PALY IT FRO FREE OS STOP BEGING FRO 3.0 OR DNOATE"
"...buh? I just wanted to know why it isn't released yet"
"OMG *flame* ADMIN/MOD LOCK THIS THRAED!"
This seems to be the cycle of how these threads go. All it takes is a single person to say that the game in its current state is unplayable...Hell, all Flayra needs to do is put something on the front page like "Due to recent bugs in the latest build such as <stuff>, the release has been delayed for a while until we can fix it". Giving people information like that is always helpful.
I didn't see any flaming in this thread. Maybe if you toughened up a bit you could actually read facts without thinking everyone is out to get you.
You'll likely be updated. For to-the-moment updates, Constellation is there... though usually I advocate the donation over the current benefit-set.
