didn't flayra say in an interview that we would be seeing 3.1 in like 4 to 5 weeks after 3.0 final got released. everyone was like "that's never gonna happen" and stuff like that. so what's up? or am i missing something here? is it really gonna happen?
edit: here's the quote
"We're planning on releasing v3.1 in another four to six weeks, which will have an exciting new system that we've been working for quite some time. We're not ready to announce the details of this system yet, but we think players will be excited when they see it. NS 3.1 will also include balance changes that arise after 3.0 and possibly a few new maps (including one from Merkaba, of ns_hera fame)."

LOL! that made me laugh irl. thanks.
seriously though, have consties heard ANY news whatsoever?
We <3 the developer's, but I don't hold much faith on their set dates of releases <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Further more, new bugs are having to be fixed. (I know the so-called (unintentional) "shotgun nerf" is being looked into; and some forgotten bugs are being looked at; fyi for non-constellation members: we might get backwards-flight for lerks in the next patch)

Speaking of the shotgun nerf, i have a common sense theory on why its acting like it is (besides the messed up entrys)....i should post that somehwere.
Thats what i always thought.
Ive never seen a bird fly backwards... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

the worlds smallest bird can fly backward.atleast i think it was the worlds smallest bird 2...well anyways 1 bird can fly backwards.
So the lerk can hover over RT flowers and suck the juice out of them.

As for backwards flight, it's not impossible. Wait and see.

As for 3.1... nothing form the constie forum to report <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But I can be patient, I have been since v1... awhile longer won't be so bad. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I've never seen a bird shoot poisonous spore clouds or bite a human to death either.
Gameplay > Realism
It has yet to be discovered weather backwards flight would acctually be benificial to the lerk's gameplay though... Personally I think the lerk could use some slight buffs anyways, as it's versitility really falls apart when heavy weapons come out, and I would most like to see flight model buffs as the improvements, as it would make it much harder to put an SG round into a lerk's face if it didn't have to cut a flight path right at you, but rather was able to dive at you on an angle from pretty much any altitude.
I'd really like to see some of the changes that Adj helped come up with playtested in the next version...
[edit]Apos, mappers know nothing, they just continuously update as soon as they have positive feedback come in. From talking with some people involved in development of the game I get the impression that a final time table has not been decided on yet, as it has yet to be decided how ambitious 3.1 will be in terms of development. It may just be slight tweaks intended to balance the current 3.0f more properly, but it is also possible that some of the major issues will be adressed for 3.1 such as fade/shotgun dependancy, and the paper onos (which are all fairly big issues in terms of workload to fix)
Anyways, I have been outright told that 2-3 weeks is not going to be the timeframe the developers are aiming at, and it will most likely be much longer. 3.0f would have to be much more balanced for a 2 week dev cycle on 3.1 to be realistic. Any changes will require a fair bit of playtesting to insure they acctually aid the balance of the game.
Great, now we have to prepare for the onlsaught of "OMG WHAT IS TEH BUS!?!?!?"
old? daaa..
You don't have to use cookie-cutter responses, you know. Especially when they aren't really relevant.
Besides, he was simply asking for an update, he wasn't being pushy or annoying. I think everyone would like an update on the status of 3.1.
Especially since Flayra made the mistake(?) of pointing out target dates. =P
Some of us have learnt a few things from this thread( (lerk flight + other **** bits) so let the masses speculate and discuss...
edit wth? ROFL i ment tidbits not **** bits... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

We have to do this again?
As NolSinkler pointed out the BUS is Bodacious Underground Singer.
Oh, and the BUS will be riding the Magic Bus.

This one can also fly backwards. Nasty little buggers. Swoop over people and peck their heads, just like *gasp* just like the lerk!
