<div class="IPBDescription">More fun than a can of...</div> The newest test beta is HILARIOUS! I was having a lot of fun being "infected"
I wonder what we'll call this later on? Is it some sort of plague? It kills all people who get touched by it? The host unwilling spreads it until it comes in contact with another "infected" person?
me- NOOO staw away from me! I'm infected, NOOO don't come near me, you'll die, NOO STOP!!! **Player suicides**
me- <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> I told you..
Oooh, what about when you're infected as a marine and you spawn? POOF spawn portal go bye-bye. Or as a skulk? *runs by Rnode, POOF*
yeah, I'm thinking a 1.04e will be out real soon now.
[note] This is a joke patch, don't play it if you want to have a serious game, there are too many things (read: 1 major bug) wrong with it [/note]

I wanted to try out the latest and "greatest" patch of the game, and I saw a game which was 17/20 and had the 1.04d patch. People would just randomly die, and tons of people had negative scores when I got info.
At first I thought it was merely a lot of team switching (ala CS, I had forgotten this wouldn't occur in NS) and after I joined I watched a LOT of people suicide. I found this very curious until I experienced it myself. At first I thought people were exploiting some new bug in the game, but in the next game I myself was "infected" and everything that I touched, died or was destroyed. It's a serious problem with 1.04d, and occurs mostly in the larger (20 player) games, since I think it hits about 1 out of every 5 people.
It might be an issue with the voogru plugins and 1.04d, but I doubt it.
Beware Kharaa and Marines alike! Flayra has released the plague and it knows no ally (except comm chairs and hives).
A possible reason for this bug might be the new TURBO_DAMAGE cheat (I forget what flayra has the variable named so I made something up) and it incorrectly turning off/working. It's just broken, mmkay?
It seems everyone thinks its the end product. Do you honestly believe Flayra intends to keep this bug in the game?
Yes? Well then you sir are a damn fool
No? Then why the hell post this here?
There is a bugs forum and this post sounded nothing like a bug report. Sounds like your getting all pissy at Flayra because he is "slacking off" or some **** ..
Thats why there are some servers playing the released version and some playing the <b>beta patched</b> version.
If the patch had no issues, <u>it wouldn't still be in testing</u>.
you said it your self, the bugs are obvious. How is Flayra supposed to catch these bugs without testing it on the server?
He cant just run his code through some kind of magic program and have it tell him theres an obvious bug.
It may seem obvious and it may be rather easy to fix, but thats the reason beta servers exists. So when the patch <b>is</b> finally released, these bugs are no longer there.
My problem with this new "infection" bug is that it sorta appeared, out of the blue. It stumped all of the admins online, who said it played 15 games last night flawlessly, but now has these "infected" marines and aliens, making the game unplayable. It's not really a problem (for me), because I know Flayra is probably trying to find out what went wrong and fix it, but I just find it humorous in the sick, sad way I like laughing at people falling down stairs.

i mean, doesnt he TRY out the beta at least once on his computer before sending it out? if its a big obvious bug he would see it in minutes, but i realize there are bugs that go undetected and thats what sending out the beta is for.
Oh, um, and hi. First post here.
I think this is the highest any of the NS betas have gotten. Glad to see the devs are willing to keep churning out fixes, tweaks, etc. Maybe the result of all this 1.04 stuff should just be 1.05 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well people should TALK less and TEST more. And least of all, be polite to the hand that feeds them. No need to turn things into a mockery. "OMG I CANT BELIEVE THIS BUG MADE IT". Sheesh. This whole 1.04-thing is gettin on me nerves. Shall we all promise not to talk about it again untill it's out?
