A Release Date On 1.1

lolfighter · June 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">PLEASE don't!</div> I thought I'd make a different 1.1 thread for a change, and I don't think I've seen this one before (I will stick to "I" because I'm not certain I speak for everyone):
PLEASE don't give me a release date for 1.1. I KNOW how it is with games and release dates. If you promise me 1.1 on the first of july for example, I will get heavily disappointed when it isn't released on that date. And chances are it ain't. Keep the "when it's done"-release date, I greatly prefer that. One day I'll fire up my browser, look at www.natural-selection.org, wonder why it loads so slowly, and my eyes will widen as I see the headline "Natural Selection 1.1 released". I much prefer it that way, rather than firing up my browser on july first, eager to download the new version, then having to read "Natural Selection 1.1 delayed". Keep it the way it is now, and just give us the thing when it's ready. I repeat: <b>DON'T GIVE US A RELEASE DATE!</b> That's all.

With the number of people who asked for a release date and the % of replies that gave a release date from an official source, I don't think you have to worry about them giving you one.

And if you didn't know what the % of people releasing correct release date was/is...its 0%.

Just makin' sure. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I agree, I'd rather be anxious <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> for a period of time then suddenly surprised than to be anxious for one specific date only to be greatly disappointed.

You don't have to worry, if I remember correctly, they told us the NS 1.0 release date one week before it's release.

During that week there was a PR Blitz, that was truly enjoyable <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> and I'm pretty sure it'll be the same with NS 1.1

I don't want to know exactly when its going to be released, but I would like a rougth timeframe, i.e, are we talking weeks or months (probably weeks)? And if its weeks, how many weeks... rougthly. 2-3? or 4-5?

I think it's fairly safe to be sure that when the NS team give a release date, it <i>will</i> be met. The whole point of them keeping the release date is so that they will only give it when they know they can meet it.

Hmm... i can see it now...

(sorry about my bad sense of humour ^_~, i do wish it be released before then.)

ecstasy · June 2003

I trust Flay and the devs to release 1.1 when it's good and ready. Not a moment sooner. I think it's important that they keep ns as crash and bug free as humanly possible. The silence on the release date isn't a bad thing, but I'd prefer some more news. That would be nice.

meatball · June 2003

there is nothing more annoying than false release dates....
well maby games released too early that isn't playable b/c of the buggs and i for one want <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'> that shoots when i hit the trigger.

Catpoker · June 2003

Aaron · June 2003

Was there a point to this thread? Please please also DO NOT tell me whether you prefer boxes or briefs, or what your favorite color is. I might be disappointed.

Making sure that I didn't get a premature release date. Do you care?

Jmmsbnd007 · June 2003

Isn't the rumor 2 weeks or so?

DEADscott · June 2003

I agree, no release date. Just release it when its done.

littlewild · June 2003

Can I make a predictions? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I'd say two more weeks from now. Just like the rumour two weeks ago.

Dee · June 2003

I agree that we neither need nor want a fixed release date until the devs are 137% certain of 1.1. As far as progress on 1.1 if you check the beta forums you can see that the playtesters will be testing 1.1q this weekend and Flayra thinks that this revision should be the last for balance issues. He said subsequent revisions will focus on technical features like HLTV and anti-cheat stuff. Sounds to me like 1.1's doing pretty good and we might see it this summer. If not then I'm comfortable knowing that Flayra's making sure 1.1 is ready first.

Well you all do not want to be upset I am all for them telling me the exact hour its gonna be up (It would be like a camp out at a movie you really want to see) I know I'll be there waiting for 2 maybe 3 hours at file planet or something but I would just love to know when its gonna come out so I can miss summer school or not go to bed for 72 hours waiting for it! If it is delayed then I won't be mad I just know they are making it better for me the loyal and trustworthy player. W00t go me! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='siege.gif'>

But when you get a release date on a movie you KNOW it will be released at that date. Can you REALLY say the same about games now?

thats right....EA is realy good at that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

...I've got to learn spelling...

policeunit7 · June 2003

Well if the game is released later I'll stay there. And if they give me an on the hour date and time it will be released I highly doubt they'll turn back. But, also as I said if it is not released on that date then I know that they are making changes that will improve my all of our game experiences, so I won't take it hard I'll wait a little more also because if they do take it back that means there will me less updates and patches that they will continuously post over and over that change the small things that they can find and fix in a week or three days not in 5 weeks worth of patches. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='siege.gif'>
