<div class="IPBDescription">What gives</div> <rant>I was just looking at the forums as a whole and it's just one ns hate topic after another. Why? Do you guys not love the game anymore. Do you not play it anymore? I think the game is amazing, and more action packed and strategically oriented than most games out today. I just wanted to take the time to let the devs know they are doing an awesome job. They've got a great game on their hands.
There are some issues that need to be resolved, but they will be resolved eventually. The developers have a better idea of what needs to be resolved than we as common gamers do. They've had to deal with this build for a whole lot longer than we have. Opinions I'm sure are welcome, but bashing the game that I know you guys still play even though there are balance issues will not solve anything. </rant>

edit: for clarification, I mean that people here are just a bit passionate towards the game. They really really dont want it to go bad.
The "newest patch/beta bashing" has been around since the beginning. With every change, there will be people that dislike it and feel the need to share those feelings with the rest of the community. As the community grew and "tight knit community" feeling faded, these voices became more dominant.
I still play the game tho because its still fun even in its current state as a beta, i also want to see the game continue to develop into something bigger and better.
people who love it
people who hate it
people who don't care
sadly it's the people who hate it who take it upon themselves to rant on the forums. the people who love it show their appreciation by playing the game, telling the whingers to shup up, and offering constructive ideas on how to make the game better in their opinion
the people who don't care are the ones that fill the servers

True, ( I personally hated the alien evolution at any time idea) but this is a larger amount of whining then I've seen in any update.
EDIT: They didn't even edit all that much! (No offense intended)
EDIT: With the growth of a game, the makers and all can't welcome everyone. (which is a sad thing) Such tight-knit things break with more people.
Currently I think focus skulks at lvl 2 in combat are too over powered
And I thought there was a problem of spawn camping (I loved the spawn system in beta 1). However instead of those problems getting better. They have got worse!!!
Spawn camping is crazy atm.

ROFL!!!!
now <i>this</i> thread has tuned into a "what i don't like about ns" thread!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ROFL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
i can't help it if i find this funny can i?
Flayra set us up the patch!
all your forum are belong to h8!
honestly, I am enjoying the new patch. At first, I absolutely hated the 1 spawn at a time combat system, and now, Im starting to see its good side. Other than that, I have loved all the changes made. Especially the removal of energy for flapping. Why are the forums filled with hate? Because players who like the patch dont go around saying "I love this patch!" They play the game, and enjoy. Whiners are just louder.

I think the problem this time is this :
<b>Somewhat worse then beta 3 [ 150 ] [35.21%] </b>
<b>Much worse then beta 3 [ 99 ] [23.24%] </b>
I'm pretty sure that had polls been put up for previous Beta releases there would be alot less than 58% of the community unhappy, this was just a bad release. I do agree with you on the way people have addressed the problems, constructive idea's > whinging.
It's a strange phenomenon indeed, for some reason when people play a free game they assume that the developers owe them something the next time changes start happening. I personally have nothing against hearing what people do/don't like in the game or what people would like to see changed, but thier comes a point where it stops being constructive criticizm for the better of the game, and just becomes petty eliteism.

What Monkey said.
Whether you've had any actual input or not, the fact is, this game has been the staple part of my online diet for some time. Now, I personally have never been involved in the development process, except to comment on the changes as they've occured. And it does become something quite dear to you. It was such a small thing, this game, but it's always felt it <b>belonged</b> to the community at the time.
Now, as you watch it grow older and change and mature, you desperately want to steer it in the direction that in the end will make people say :
"Holy crap, this kicks **** Joe!"
And likewise, you desperately don't want the opposite. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> We may not agree with the changes, or each other (glances at some of the other 1.x people around) and likewise, yes by some, the 1.x newbies were invaders to 'their' space in turn. But in the end, we all want what's best.
We just don't agree on what 'best' actually is. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I started hanging around this community nearly a year before the games first release. I don't remember what pointed me to the site, but I remember reading though the concept, and looking at some of the artwork (I don't think there was a workable version of the game yet, the Mappers build wasn't even released yet) and getting blown away.
To be honest, it sounded far to good to be true. At times I never expected the mod to even get released, or if it did be no where near as good as it sounded.
Glad it was <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I remember in the day when a new version would come out and I wasn't to happy about it. But as time went by I was like 'ahh this isnt so bad' People who complain just need to keep playing because adventually you'll enjoy it no matter what <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The way the game works theres huge gaps inbetween skill levels.

Well thats why the help menu always says join marines if your new. Most likely anyone who is about to play this game has some type of FPS experience. Its just maybe they are too used to extremely slow movement from like CS. They arent used to skulks that BH as fast as a clerety even though they dont have it.
Now yeah its not fun getting killed over and over. But from any standpoint we all have to suck at once. We wont play a new game and totally devistate everyone easily. I remember going onos for the first time and I had no clue what I was doing and just died.
It just takes time and patience to get better. Some people might have a better learning curve than others. So its either adapt quick or just die constantly. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I find that the size of the NS Community has had some effect on how we interact with eachother; We're a bit more cynical, but this happens on large forums. Flayra doesn't seem to comment as much, but when you combine this with the sheer volume of posts to comment on, than it's not really any wonder why.
If you ask me, I think B4 was coded the night before its release, kinda like half my homework was 'completed' when I was 16, but 4b has made a lot of improvments. I don't hate NS; On the contrary, I downloaded CS, which reaffirmed how much I hate that game and most of it's community, especially compared to NS. I won't stop poking some fun on the forums at NS, but I still like it more than any other available mod (Excluding UT's legendary 'strangelove' - That was the best mutator ever concieved).
Well, I rambled a bit. I hope I made my three cents worth while <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
