Seriously? So Beta 3 is expected to be released on or near December 31st?

[VC]

Last year we decided not to pull the do-it-by-Christmas shit because that was a big part of the Beta 2 disaster.

Everyone was happy with that until late October and then ZOMG XMAS fever started frying braincells.

It will be released when it is ready for release.  Musing when that will be is futile, but it is certainly looking sharp.  My intuition is that Christmas would require imprudent rushing, but early/mid January should be very do-able, with more goodies in February, just like Alpha 1.0/1.1 worked out.

This is completely me talking out of my ass and is not in any way a statement, official or otherwise.

next year? You don't give us much credit

You took it the wrong way. I very much doubt mr coder (being you) is going to be working his arse off for a christmas release (family time etc). I'm more than happy to wait till next year anyway, gives the current B testers a bit more time to iron things out. At least the weapons are coded well by VC, heres to accuracy and spamless sessions to come.

Not totally spamless, remote mines still exist and people who suck at frisbee demanded I make them more forgiving after I nerfed them into a more skill-dependent device.

Then again, against AR33, I might wind up buffing them.  Just need to see burst fire get implemented and have some test sessions on the set.

Not totally spamless, proximity mines still exist

Need tazerboy plus for that.

Are there any aussie servers for this game?  I would love to get involved but the pings to the few servers that are available tend to be too high.

[VC]

Not currently but I expect the koalas in dev and testing will put one up.

Gamearena host a beta 1.1h server already. Anyway as Viashino allures, me and lodle will hound serverhosts from ausland when the time is right. If i get my way it will get par devotion as DOD:S gets, and thats a commercial title..

Allude, not allure.  Unless you knew I was dressed all sexy when I posted that.

I got a guy I was talking with a guy in GES who has servers in Sydney, i bet he'd give a killer deal to the Dev's

[1Rusky]

It would be really nice to have this to play for Christmas vacation and I'd definetely send money if you guys would accept it.

[Loafie, Hero of Dreams]

if you guys would accept it.

Sorry, both cannot be given, the game for x-mas or a donation accepted by the team.

However if you want to donate to the wake-for-2008-better-family-xmas-gifts fund, my paypal is.....

that is mostly a joke i think it'll be itune gift cards all round, rinse repeat.

If you wanna support the game, put your money in hosting or donating a server when beta 3 comes out.
