<div class="IPBDescription">208?</div>Won't there be a new build this week either? Just asking as theres no word about it on twitter and this was posted on May 2nd:

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->We are now starting a two week "sprint" where we are focused on the new main menu, new Shade abilities and the Shift, while the more engine focused guys (Max and Dushan) are working on performance.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And new builds are usually released on Wednesdays.

    I believe Q&A #2 said today or tommorow.

    Cool. Looking forward to the performance improvements. <img src="http://naturalselection.de/images/smilies/ednk/icon_ups.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    predictions:

    - Shift hive
    - new map
    - exosuit

    if i'm wrong, nobody will remember.

    if i'm right, I will be hailed as a prophet.

    bring on 208!

    Hoping Shift will be in, or at least Spur to give Celerity and Hypermutation some public testing.

    Can't wait to see Hive room infestation on walls and ceilings :)

    Hopefully they increase the Lerk's movement speed back up to where it was before the nerf, so I stop feeling like a bloated pigeon barely able to keep flight.

    Watch the Q&A :)

    Shift didn't make it. Hopefully next build.

    Releases are on a Thursday normally.

    More than 3 hydras and distance recycling would be good

    The EXO won't be in the game till we see a reveal video.

    I wonder how the infestation will look if it "walks" up the wall. Is it still the placeholder graphic or do we get a new model? Hmmm
    And the new Menu! Finally! Hope the menu screen will be more interactive.

    According to the progress log, distance recycling got rejected.

    360 degree infestation should look amazing! Hope that makes it in.

    Will it work even in large rooms?

    Mainly looking forward to the performance improvements personally.

    No shift and no exo suits, hmmm. I didn't get to watch the O&A video. Did they say that they were adding in the tomorrow?

    Server performance improvements! :D
    Want this bad so ISPs aren't scared to put up a server without it exploding and only having 1/2 NS2 configs running on it :(
  • playerplayer Join Date: 2010-09-12 Member: 73982Members
    Are performance-improvements on the menu for this build then? As far as I know the engine-devs are working on it, but it's probably a rather long stretch before any of that makes its way into the game.
  • matframatfra Join Date: 2004-01-10 Member: 25206Members, Constellation
    I would prefer they stop makeing those 30 minutes useless video and release a small new beta with fixes or small update.
    The hour or 2 by making this video are waste in the outer-space

    Hugh is the one who makes them. That's his job.

    Cory participating in a Q&A for <b>30 minutes</b> helps keep the community engagement and morale up, and it's good publicity for the game.

    So that's one member of the team doing one 30 minute Q&A, once a week. I don't see how that's hampering game development.

    Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

    30 mins a week out of their dev-time wont make much of a difference to patches. What they get out of that 30 mins however is both a in-house and community moral boost. It's more than worth it.

    I read it takes 6 hours to complete so they should be back to work now :P

    Couple of things I'd like to see in 208:

    ● Get rid of the 80 letter limit: It's ridiculous trying to explain things to a newbie when you have to speak like you had ADHD.

    ● 3-5 player "quota" per team before game starts. Often people take a while between matches, so there's 10 people in RR while game starts 1vs1, seriously hampering the game for marines.
  • NurEinMenschNurEinMensch Join Date: 2003-02-26 Member: 14056Members, Constellation
    Good idea but don't make it a fixed number. Say at least one third of the players need to join a team before the countdown starts or something like that.

    Especially after a map change with people having different load times and/or the desire to chat about the last game there's often the situation where only 1-3 people are actually playing for the first couple minutes, which often results in a bad game. So the first game after a map change often sucks (especially if it's Mineshaft).

    Do we wait for Valve or UWE because 209 appeared on the Tasks.
  • NurEinMenschNurEinMensch Join Date: 2003-02-26 Member: 14056Members, Constellation
    I think you have to download the patch from Youtube. ;p

    They're probably still bug-fixing for now, have patience :D

    Completing Diablo 3 in 6 hours only proves you're mentally unstable and totally unable to play through the entire game content. This makes me wonder why the person even bought the game in the first place, if he/she isn't going to play it for enjoyment...

    I'll bet they are working on improving performance a.t.m.
    Celerity + no performance increase = "Counter-Strike without the crosshair"
