Question fer the beta testers and devs

o_ihmhi · 02-13-2007, 07:04 AM

Do you guys get to play the game all willy nilly anytime ya want, or do you only play during scheduled playtests? I do not think anyone has asked this yet, kthx.

Its probably not much fun to play in its unfinished state. Most of the games Ive beta tested were like work to expose bugs and not much fun.
On the other hand maybe the game is done and theyre so busy playing it that theyre just not putting in the time to get the last finishing touches out and release it! If this was an EA game it would have been released last year and patched two times already. Wed still be whining for the patch to fix the game right but wed all be suffering together at least!

they (and devs) can and do play any time they want. it's just more likely there will be a full group during scheduled playtests

I get on quite a bit to test things I've found, confirm posted bugs, see if I can't break the server like Omega did last week. Its all fun.

If you want to break a tfc server really fast get on a conc map with sollys, stand on the g-pack, and toss millions of nail grenades :P Crashes the server and it won't come back up :P

question for Monkey_L designer
Is the monkey bug still int ( in water ) or is it gone now ?
in monkey_L your able to go in water with flag in enemybase and escape trough it , put conc just at border of invsible wall ( that normally disables you to go back trough water ) ) and you conc trough that invisible wall...

any news of that ?

I would guess that since they had to re-build the maps themselves that that particular glitch is probobly gone. But who knows, shnit happens. There will be all new glitches when the game is out that ppl will discover.

I don't think Monkey has been touched in a while. The parts I have seen done are the flag room and most of the lobby/entrance.

yeah I haven't messed with monkey in a while, I'm sorta the official "clean up bitch"... right now I'm mostly just polishing up stuff that's nearly complete.

as for what you're speaking of, no, that would not be in there (as it's pretty clear you're not supposed to be able to take the flag out water). I had originally planned for a waterfall to mark the delineation between the water room and the water tunnel, so having a push affect would seem more natural.
