Brad Wardell's views about technology, politics, religion, world affairs, and all sorts of politically incorrect topics.

While the vast majority of users who actually have Beta 1Z voted for moving forward (the publicly displayed poll isn’t designed to filter based on downloads but rather whether they have an Impulse account) we believe another Beta 1 is still in order.

There are some Windows XP issues we want to nail down in particular with regards to stability and memory and there were a bunch of fixes that got finished that didn’t get checked in in time for beta 1Z3.

We are probably going to dispense with the polling unless I can get IT to spend time to filter out users who don’t actually have the beta (incidentally, the votes include the user ID and the IP address for the guy who put in 11 no votes with the same IP with different accounts, tsk tsk). 

The forum discussions alone were enough to convince me that one additional beta 1 build made sense.

It IS important, however, that anyone who experiences problems report them. Don’t assume that we know about them. Read this post.

Can we at least get another map?

Nice! We are not ready to move to phase 2 yet. Either way..what poll?! I haven't seen any polls. Where was it posted?

The Phantom Poll?

Users ID of the cheaters or it didn't happen.

Oh damn...I haven't visited that link for ages....I didn't know that the polls will be hosted there.  I guess I will visit that link on a daily basis from now on.

Neither have I. I always assumed the poll would be in a new dev journal, or an e-mail or something. Or even on the front page, like the Sins and GalCivII polls.

Eh, with all the journals on the front page, I never visted the journal section itself. And the poll wasn't linked at the front page.

Hmm... so taking into account the "Chaetor" (misspelled for dramatic effect), instead of about 50/ 50 the poll was more 80/20?

In either case, this Thursday we will have yet another Beta 1, so yey for us. Hopefully the Chaetor has been dealt with, for the Chaetranid Race has a tendency to rapidly expand and infest the various star systems, consuming all in their path.

Hopefully in future installations we won't suffer encounters of Chaetranids ... although I suppose the possibility always lurks within the darkest corners of the Sector.

May the emperor protect us.

Maybe the chaeter was a john titor-esqe time traveller trying to prevent some bugs in the release of elemental. We just don't know.

CHAETOR!

Don't worry, I'll get john to travel back and tell me to spell it correctly. Damned if I'm gonna use the edit function.

on Apr 25, 2010

hehe.

In any case, join with me by stating the need for a Chilling, rapidly expanding "super-enemy" in elemental  

(I am sure that there is one within the lore already, but still ... just in case. FFH had the Infernals, even though they had an easy counter (Mercurians) and weren't that much of a threat in most Sand-box games)
