</pre>

[Goobles]

no, but every patch notes is a good patch notes!


"Changed Actionbar shorts from F1-12 to 1 - ´."

horray

[MrBlah]

Large patches! Hooray! It shows good progress. It kinda looks like what niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger was doing 2 months after release.

[Kran De Loy]

Mostly Unambiguous patch notes! Wuu!

[Jolle Poker]

I love how this is bigger and better than niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggers so called "expansions"

[Atnas]

I wish I could play this but I crash constantly and the supposed fix didn't work.

[Durthar]

its bigger than niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger's expansions because MO is basically not even alpha yet

[Riddle]

Keep the faith! We all know it's not a game just yet but theres no reason why it won't ship up to be one.


I can't be arsed to log in either, give it 6 months and i'm sure that'll change.

[Omley Boozebeard]

Thats a horrific exageration. Go away.

Agreed. I would say it is in Alpha phasing right now.
It is to me that..
Beta is what is done when the game is 95-100% done and you want to find the last few bugs before a release.
Alpha is the testing that gets done at the 60-90% range or so where the game is mostly done, they're just implementing things piece by piece to find the bugs in them and correct things before they're finalize to keep as much stuff as possible from conflicting with itself while they try to build the game as it should be, or at least as close to as what they want it to be a that time.

I would say they're doing the Alpha testing.
Edit: But I also think the game wont be ready by the fourth quarter. December maybe, but no sooner.

I was always thinking Q1 2010. However the beta will probably be fun and worth playing by Q4 :thumb:

[Durthar]

I was talking out of my ass, i haven't even played the game ever

[Uzik]

MO is still early development.

They developers seem cool, so hopefully they will be able to carry through with their plans!

I have Faith, even with niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger staring me in the eye, that the developers will not be the ones to fuck up the game.
That's if it goes FUBAR.

[losinglife]

people are still playing the alpha?!

[Kran De Loy]

people are still playing the alpha?!
I havn't logged in once. Well, I havn't gotten to make a character, so I quick trying. I would try again now, but I want to play http://www.battleswarm.net/images/logo.jpg

[niccoli]

I'm waiting til they have more done, then I'll fuck around with it more. Full game downloads every week or whatever it seemed like is just a bit to fucking ridiculous. I understand why, but I don't care for it and I'm happy enough to do other shit while waiting.

[Gromit]

I'll buy this game when it's going to release properly.

[LordTenacious]

lol a mmo releasing properly. that's a knee-slapper.

[Atnas]

lol a mmo releasing properly. that's a knee-slapper.

Lord of the rings online slaps LordTenacious around with a proper, bugfree release

[LordTenacious]

Outliers exist in most data sets, Atnas. However, surely you agree that most MMOs released in this decade have had less than stellar launches.

[Gromit]

You knew what I meant, stop being a fag.

[LordTenacious]

You can't ask me to do the impossible.

[Gromit]

I wasn't asking you, I was telling you to stop being a fag.

Stop being a fag... Fag!

[Motavia]

Outliers exist in most data sets, Atnas. However, surely you agree that most MMOs released in this decade have had less than stellar launches.

I will say, I recall WoW's launch being pretty problem free (aside from the log-in queues on the servers launched on day one).

[Kran De Loy]

Actually all of the servers they had released prior to the launch day were so flooded that those day-one problems persisted on them for roughly a month to two months for some dozen or so servers.

[Motavia]

I'll take your word for it. I started on a day 2 or 3 server (as the day 1 server I was on had lengthy queues) and it stayed a medium-low pop until the day I quit (WotLK).

[comestible]

If by 'all' you mean 'not all'. I did beta and started retail day 1 no problems.

[Kran De Loy]

No I mean ALL the servers that had there names leaked before the release. I think it was something like a couple dozen or so, maybe more.

Blizzard originally didn't want the names of the servers published for this reason so that certain servers wouldn't get flooded all at once. Instead a leak got out of the names of a couple dozen servers and those are the ones I'm talking about that got swamped.

Other than that, there was the Log In server for those getting the shit kicked out of it a lot and having to be down for an hour now and again, and the Starter area's couldn't handle the overload either.

But those were all of WoW's start up faults. Nearly non existent when compared to any other MMO release.

[comestible]

Gotcha.

[Spinewire]

- New particle-fx for spurt.

[Phasar]

Retarded post ftw.

[Kran De Loy]

Retarded post ftw.
Useless Necro Post ftl.

Also, another God damn Jizz Hammer.

[Atnas]

Hey yo Phasar, anything is bigger then DFs expansions.

[Jolle Poker]

Hey yo Phasar, anything is bigger then DFs expansions.

Yes, even your E-peen.

[Atnas]

You are right, I am a pretty modest person!

[treefingers]

phasar confirmed spy abort thread immediately

[Supreme]

We no taker spies

[Gromit]

ban?

[comestible]

The mod forum should only be visible to confirmed members so stuff like this don't happen again.

Oh wow, they put taming in. I wonder how well that works.

[Kran De Loy]

Beta Testing is for Testing. May as well get as much out of it as you can, eh?

[Gromit]

even better when you pay for it.

[slugys]

taming is over powered imo but without it a game feels a little meh to me.

how is shit shaping up anyway?

[Thatcher]

taming is currently op, just train a buffalo and let it go apeshit on people, lulzorz
