About 1.1 (surprisingly)

<div class="IPBDescription">and how you can help</div> Ok, abiding by the new nicey-nicey approach *shakes fist at MonsE*

1.1 is due for release soon. It is at the final stages of testing, before you can download and play it.

I've been seeing a lot of threads (since the changelog began) about how this aspect of 1.1 is great, or will have a big impact, or will MAEK NS TEH WORST GEMA EVAR!!!!112. Ok, I understand the community as individuals have their own oppinion about what NS should be like. I also understand the occaisional necessity to vent teeenage angst (****! now I'm SOUNDING like MonsE). Thats all well and good.

HOWEVER

As 1.1 gets closer, threads requesting things adding to it, or to leave bits alone haven't slowed down. Stop and consider a moment. How likely is it that the build of 1.1, whose release could be just days away, will be stopped, scrapped and restarted to accomodate new features? More to the point, how popular will you be if you do delay 1.1 at this stage, with thousands of slavering players hungry for the new version....

Basically, all I'm saying is at this point, THERE IS NO WAY THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY CAN CHANGE 1.1.
Decisions have been made. Code has been written. Coffee has been spilled.

Spamming the boards with requests, or vitriol will only annoy the Mods (although less than spamming them with PMs). 1.1 is now virtually complete. Once its released, by all means post constructive suggestions about how to improve the next build. In the space thats left to 1.04, please don't waste your own time by complaining about how bad 1.1 will be. Instead........*reads MonsE's guidelines*....um....why not compliment other gamers on how beautiful they are in the Pic Post bit of Off Topic?

    I like to think that the community has some impact on the final game. Sure most of the suggestions have already been suggested about 20 times but it's not like the devs completely ignore the community, the polls are a good example of that.

    Agreed, but my point is the build is nearly finished, realistically, fundamantal changes will not be implemented.


    /edit

    I wasn't trying to say the community is being ignored in the creation of 1.1, far from it. Thats why they have a S&I forum, and Clan invlolvement, and community playtesters.....

    <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> hey all I'm one of the most loyal people to NS and I love it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> and the only thing I wish that I couldv'e played it before I went on vacation to North Carolina beach this june 29th.I won't be back until july 7th and would expect to see 1.1 released by then.If it's not that's cool

    But yer right our saying,or complaining about 1.1 may annoy the mods and slow down 1.1 or even to the point where Flayra might say [colorful metaphor] it and not release 1.1 at all.So be patient all you'll get it.

    I did a thread to this effect some time ago I think. Didn't work. But I agree wholeheartedly.
    Don't worry CobraChaos, my über prediction-skillz say that 1.1 will be out by mid to late july, meaning you'll be back in time.

    I allready have massive plans and strats ready to go once it's released.I have a huge strat thing I wrote for all the maps(except new ones with 1.1) about 400 page mini playbook for NS,working on making it bigger to the point maybe every known strat or something will be in it.




    Maybe to the point to become an "NS Playmaster" <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> hehe lol

    (O/T: This is perhaps the funniest post I will read today. )

    Anyhoo, agreed. I know you guys all want to make suggestions and add features and such. At this point it's pretty unrealistic to think they would make it into 1.1 even if the idea completely kicked bootie (such as perhaps a flamethrower, or a scorpian that hovars without flapping). So if you feel a huge, burning, can't-be-contained-urge to post your new idea about how Marines should have laser jockstraps that shoot missiles, make it for NS 1.2 or 2.0.

    Thanks, and may Flay be praised...

    Dunno, I don't spam, I add ideas as I come up with them, I dont care what version they end up in, or if they even do, I just hope one of them insipries a dev enough to get it in the mod maybe. I put a lot of lee-way into that because Obviously making an entire game isn't easy work. If it is, you little anttention hoes gonna pay. JK. Anyhow, I just see the suggestions/Ideas forum being just that, It isn't stuck with only 1.1 in mind <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Speaking of which, check out my ideas on Webbing, and a new possible cvar.
