Thanks for being an (Please refrain from swearing), and locking my topic in the Bugs section, now no one will know about them after it slips onto the next page.

I think its obvious that the testers did not test the LAW after the Charge was put onto it. i notised ALL of thos bugs the first time i played with it, so shove a another stick up your ass you pice of (Please refrain from swearing)

Erm, sorry to disagree with you all but I don't see anything abusive about that thread. All it had were Law bugs which couldn't be used to an advantage; the complete opposite actually.

We did find one of the bugs namely the invisible Law, but as far as I'm aware of, and I've checked the beta forum, we didn't discover the other two. I have no idea why Lapis locked that thread.

Happy Camper has got a point though, many of us did stop using the Law after the delay was implemented.

Agreed, everyone did stop using LAW. althought law can be gotten used to and used to decent effeciency, human nature is to take the easy way out, and the easy way out in this situation in knife. Instead of wasting weeks trying to master the new law, people just picked up knife and got used to it in 1 day.

People still use the LAW. I, for one, and many other people keep murdering me with it. The delay is nothing big, it just takes the advantage out of it. Now all of the secondaries are fairly equal (in the normal modes, at least).

If you're interested, you should hang around in IRC.
I have no idea what's going to happen with testing though. A lot of people are pissed off because they didn't get to test, and I personally would like to see a open beta for bugs and stuff now that the balance is actually decent.

Aquarius
August 24, 2005, 5:07 pm
Lazeh I have been proposed to be a beta tester but I had to say "no", because of some circumstances, so STFU. I would never hang on IRC to get to any beta team (like you? Just guessing...), I thinks it's pretty lame.

Why are all of the beta testers not even close to being "above average." Don't see the point in making the beta testers really bad players when other players could take the game a little bit further in a test. I mean beta testing clanwars = demonic, chakra & dna styx vs. michal marcinkowski, pienne & frogboy.... now.. I doubt you will find out much about weapon balance here. Maybe ask some well known skilled players, and before you all start posting, WHAT LIKE YOURSELF? OMG THIS IS GOING NOWHERE. Or you will completely change the subject, try actually thinking about the benefits of it. All the weapons getting used to their full potential or some average players.. im pretty sure it would be like a public server during the beta testing periods atm.. and if thats the audience your trying to grow and not help out the people who have been there done that & ate the t-shirt and stuck by soldat for a long time. You choose, but I think you already did. *cough* bullet time *cough*

Deleted User
August 24, 2005, 6:00 pm
We did the weapon balance the best we could. I consider 1.3 a test version just like any other. Besides; you can edit the weapons yourselves. There's no big issue to argue over.

Chakra`
August 24, 2005, 6:12 pm
1. Bullet time was entirely Michal's idea.

2. Weapon balance is surely best tested by slightly-above-average players like us who've seen the numerous changes and events in previous versions.

3. If weapons were used to their full potential, the results would reversed; that the beta testers wouldn't understand how they'd benefit us average players.

4. In what way are the weapons unbalanced now? I've never known them to be so close to perfect.

5. After talking to Michal, he doesn't really like serious gamers or orientate the game around them. Considering he spends most of his gaming time camping in bushes with a saw, i'm not suprised.

6. I beat you 30-16 in an m79 duel. I never use m79. Ahar. Ahar. Ahar. I am the l33tness.

Lolz, im not expecting to be a beta tester. It's just that maybe in twenty years time, if soldat is still alive, someone might remember me, lolz. Anyway, i got no IRC, and if i did, i wouldnt hang around.

raz0r, what do you mean by Above Average? And it doesnt matter if the beta testers aren't good, the point is, the find the bugs and report it. Sure there are better players, but then if they said it was too easy, Michal might tune it down until the point where you must key a correct combination of letters when they appear on screen in a sequence to reload. Even worse: List out each procedure. EVENWORSE: remove jets.

So, ppl dont care if the beta testers are n00bs.

So why are you saying FrogboY and I are really bad players? I'm not trying to protect my e-penis or anything but you could mention people you've actually played with in your example.

Of course it's competitive guv. But surely you of all people have noticed the difference between 'serious' comepetitors and casual decent players like us.

Want to get the likes of Tompenny doing beta? You should've listened to Ok interview him on Soldat Radio...the guys a f***ing loon. He treats barret like a way of life, a zen. Only ever striving to perfect his aim. Doesn't like working in teams because it hinders his barreting ability. Stuff like that. Close enough to a direct quote.

You're better off with us all-rounders guv.

I think the M79 is a bit more powerful now with the added launch strength (how much ground it covers) and the extended ricochet angle. Other than that everything's really good.

Yes, it's easy to get close to a person in a tunnel, or generally in dark places, but it is even easier if said person is gagged up, tied in your shack in the middle of a lonely forest.
HAR HAR.
ANYWAY, speaking of beta testing, I have to admit that many well experienced players would be a nice addition to the beta testing team, but sadly the so said pro's that know what happens in oh-so-high-level clan wars often, when combined, make up a bunch of helpless weiners that can't come up with anything. Actually, I think the outcome would've been not as good as it was.
You also have to consider that clans aren't all. I mean, look at publics. Despite you are in contact mostly with clans, the majority of players are wannabe pro's, that means that they play in publics. Guess what, the m79 and barret are among the most annoying weapons there. You won't find people camping with barret in cw's most likely, but you will in a pub. The balance needs to be good for both, and this one is good so far, though it could do with minimal tweaks.

Fact#1 - Bullet-time was suggested multiple times before Michal added it.
Fact#2 - Jaz + beta = "I CAN'T KILL WITH M79 SOMEONE THAT IS 400 METERS AWAY AND IS SHOWERING ME IN HOT LEAD, LET'S MAKE ALL OTHER WEAPONS DO NO DAMAGE"
FACT#3 THIS TOPIC IS ABOUT BASHING LAPIS LAZULI FOR A RANDOM REASON, SO GET BACK TO IT.
