ok i agree to a certain extent with pepsihomer! unless i missed something where there was a statement made along the lines of "everyone who has played this FREE game of NS are owed detailed explanations of delays and apologies with possable court proceedings being placed against the team with compensation for loss of game hrs"!! unless i did infact miss such a statement then stop your bitchin and be thankful that the team dont read these threads and say "sod it, if thats the thanks we get, do it yourself". you play a game that has broken boundries and entertained you for god knows how many hrs and if you dont enjoy it, dont play it, if you do then praise the team for all thier efforts and successes with the game and support them in thier endevours to improve an already amazingly good game. you are owed nothing so be patient, when its ready, its ready. hold conversations about how much your looking forward to it, about anticipated changes, about how your gona whoop your best mates **** on the new version and how combat will rock, but keep your bitchin to yourself.
my say done...on a lighter note...happy new year...and thanks to all those involved with NS for putting up with certain individuals and staying true to the now millions that support and love the game.

oh sorry evil_dave, i was under the impression this was a forum...ie, somewhere opinions are voiced, i had mine, now you had yours and we could go back and forth forever. btw...i did read the forum hence why i put in my two cents worth like everybody else. not really into all this forum arguments so may just not bother nxt time. decisions decisions. though im not gona dl v3.0 till the summer anyway...last yr NS took many more hrs of my life than the study for my degree, now its my last yr and i think i should avoid any new NS for the sake of my future...gota be a study geek <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->
Maybe he wont release it at all. Maybe he is just a phsycology student who is doing a study on the habits of people waiting for something of this nature. Maybe he is an alien who is trying to brain wash you all. Maybe its not done. All are plausible.
The NS dev team is by far the most professional and proficient team I've ever seen. If I want to wait 7 months for a desperately need, buggy as all get out patch with a changelog about as big as my little finger, then I'll go to the dod forums.
The NS dev team have set themselves very high goals, they even did us the courtesy of giving us a rough time frame in which it will come, and they deserve appreciation for it.
I thought we'd be getting it around chrissy too - guess it wasnt ready.
I'd just like to note that the holiday season is hardly as short a time period as many are expecting. The first indication of this is the word season. That means a period of time where certain events/conditions are held often/continuously (within reason). I can tell you from working in the business world, stating "holiday season" implies a time frame as early as mid-October (columbus day) to as late as early April (until Easter). During this period of time you will notice that there are several holidays that pop up. Its pretty much a one or two holiday a month thing during that time. I'm genuinely sorry if you were fooled into thinking that it was definitely going to be here around christmas time. Here's an obvious way you could have found out:
Read the changelog and note each # bug that has been resolved. Theres upwards of 400 such bugs at this point and there simply arent that many fixed.
I and (I assume) a great portion of other forum posters would greatly appreciate if you refrained from whining about the game not being out until the ENTIRE holiday season has run out AND the number of bugs not resolved is as low as 15. At that time i'll be joining you in saying "OMG, its 3 months late and I could have fixed all 15 of those bugs in one weeks time!"
i dont have time to read this whole thread but heres the thing:
I'm not frettin' over the fact that 3.0 has not been released yet. I could care less because NS 2.01 is great, and if you wouldn't have even heard about 3.0 you wouldn't be all fired up over it. Couple things. I do think its wrong to promise something, then not come through with it, but things do change. Some unexpected things mightve come up. It happens. This is what you can do. You can waste time and **** about it, or you can just deal with it or donate for 3.0 if your so desperate. Whining and crying isn't gonna bring 3.0 any faster or slower. It will be done when its balacned. And ready to go. Not a given time and date.
I honestly don't understand the big rush for the next version. 2.01 is still loads of fun. It's not like 1.04 where the actual number of people dropped near the end of its life. 1.04 even killed off a few favorite servers of mine. SO enjoy 2.01.
Extensively tested - Extensive playtesting with over 100 NS clans and hundreds of Constellation members will mean the most balanced and fun NS yet.
Massive improvements - Over 200 bugs and exploits have been fixed in this version, along with dozens of other improvements. These include "sinking" structures, better hitboxes for players and structures (even for wall-walking skulks!), skulk prediction fixes, and hundreds more.
NS v3.0 will be available this holiday season. Check this page for updates...
this is in the front page and im hoping your not going to do a valve like the half-life2 thing do you think it will come out this month??? if you know wen it will come out please email me at ...cr4zyg4m3r@hotmail.com...
We've been over this. Ns 3.0 won't come out by the holiday season. Deal with it.
And do you honestly think anyon'e sgoing to email you the release date as soon as they know it? Maybe they should download it, put it on a cd, and ship it to you as well?

unless i did infact miss such a statement then stop your bitchin and be thankful that the team dont read these threads and say "sod it, if thats the thanks we get, do it yourself".
you play a game that has broken boundries and entertained you for god knows how many hrs and if you dont enjoy it, dont play it, if you do then praise the team for all thier efforts and successes with the game and support them in thier endevours to improve an already amazingly good game. you are owed nothing so be patient, when its ready, its ready. hold conversations about how much your looking forward to it, about anticipated changes, about how your gona whoop your best mates **** on the new version and how combat will rock, but keep your bitchin to yourself.
