I fixed everything that seemed critical for release so we'll have final playtest before the release. 06.04.2010 17.00 GMT It's announced in Empires Testers group already.
Can't expect many americans to play at the 1700, that's 1100 CST which those of us that have classes whether it be grade school or college. 2100 is ok but i'd prefer like 2300, it'll be late for you europeans but prime gaming time for the general empires community, or at least that's the time i see the most emp players on.
There's one tonight at 9pm EST (6pm PST). We can make that the 'final 2.25 playtest' for U.S. players.
The majority of people either want the scout rifle removed or re-hauled completely. So remove it from this version until you figure out what needs to be done so it doesn't break anything.
i'm working on setting up another dedicated box for the rel. and i will be happy to host the final rel.
This thread is for the "hopefully" final playtest so we can make sure all bugs are fixed, all stuff is at least semi balanced, and all particles etc aren't fucking up. Not for QQ REMOVED SCUNT RIFLE or QQ STEAMWORKS NAO PLOX. Turn up, play the game as is, and hopefully we can finally get away from 2.24d.
