Where's Flayra?

<div class="IPBDescription">He has dissapeared.</div> Sorry if this has already been discussed; I've done some searching and can't find any mention of it, however.

So, the question: Where did Flayra go? He hasn't made a post here in 22 days, and that was only 2 posts, before those two posts, he hasn't posted in ~48 days, and that was for beta 3's release.

I know Flayra went on a two-week vacation, but that was 7 weeks ago, and his posts in early march shows that he got back.

Did something happen to Flayra? Is he busy with UWE? Is there some supar-sekrat-projekt going into beta 4 that's under wraps? Or is he just slaving away on Beta 4 so doesn't want to spend time posting?

I don't want to be a news ****, I just like having updates about the game I've donated to more than every few months <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    He's probably chilling out in the belly of some onos. <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Working on UWE would be the most logical answer.
    I guess chilling in the belly of an onos would be my second guess.

    maybe they are just to busy with their real life?
    or they behave like other developers... forget time, get no sleep, get the golden membership at the local pizza shop... you know: Developing the Game.

    NS3 is still beta, so they have much to do... dont u think so?
  • GuspazGuspaz Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2862Members, Constellation
    Actually, no. I think beta 3 is very close to a finished product. There are no bugs left, and some minor balancing should do the trick.

    Don't forget, this is VERY late into the beta. This is what, the 25th, 30th beta release of NS 2.1/3.0? We must be past the 20th beta at the very least.

    I mean no showstoppers, no BIG bugs. Can you name a single one? If you can, can you name three? There will always be small bugs, but those don't hold back a major revision release, they just get fixed in subsequent versions.
  • RobBRobB TUBES OF THE INTERWEB Join Date: 2003-08-11 Member: 19423Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    the all known weapon bug is still there.

    if you join rine and only can use the lmg because pistol and knive are red.
    its funy to slice skulks without attack animation... but not for them hehe.
  • GuspazGuspaz Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2862Members, Constellation
    Odd, never seen that myself. Not sure if it should be classified as a showstopper due to the rarity.

    Regardless, I don't feel that 3.0 needs that much more work. A few more bug fixing and a bit of balancing and it should be ready, I think. Though, I mean, I don't have access to the win/loss statistics for the two teams like Flayra does.
  • Umbraed_MonkeyUmbraed_Monkey Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9922Members
    The grenade-armory bug is quite a big bug, if a marine team decides to abuse it, I dont know how the aliens can break through. But yes, point taken, 3.0 feels pretty good right now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
  • GuspazGuspaz Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2862Members, Constellation
    I wonder if the reason Flayra hasn't released a patch since then is to see how people feel about it long-term. The various beta versions rarely last more than a few weeks, not really enough time to really settle in. But we've had beta 3 for nearly two months.

    On the other hand, the length of time that b3 has been out will make the b4 release all the more painful, as tactics that have been employed for months are forced to change.

    I think he's been at the GDC (Game's Developer Confrence)


    Other than that, my next best guess is that he's dead

    The "Not as fun as 1.x OR 2.x" bug is still around.

    I think Forlorn knows of at least one or two showstopping bugs... Don't you forlorn!?!

    Ahh, so Voogru accidently killed Flayra. Damnit man, were you really that desperate?

    Flayra stopped being a hyprocrite and is now testing NS...

    He isn't great, but he never dies as a spectator.
  • laggerlagger Join Date: 2002-10-31 Member: 1805Members
    He's working on ns, but my first guess would be LIVING?

    *shrug* I hate beta 3 a little more every game. There's something about either getting completely overrun by onos at around 6 minutes, walking down a hallway and getting killed by a bolt of electricity shooting from an RT in the marine spawn, getting to use your puss-**** worthless third hive abilities that do nothing, or getting to suicidially and futily throw skulks at a horde of HA that just doesn't make it fun at all.


    Every game ends one of those ways (except the RT... that's just because electricity is the <b>worst, stupidest idea I've seen yet</b>.

    Oh no he is back, I thought you had to register to post here anyways...

    I haven't seen Flayra either, I think the last time was about a month ago I saw him playing in some server and he said he was in europe... I think he was on his vacation then but I haven't seen him since.

    I believe you are referring to 'Crouching Fade, hidden hitbox'?
