Wasteland Wasteland 2 Pre-Release Discussion Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Zombra]

I was just trying to "illustrate" Lhynn's point a little better

Yeah, it worked. I actually understood how that could possibly make sense thanks to you. Cheers.

I also agree with Roguey that the beta should be feature complete, and adding more shit would just delay the release and add untested, potentially bug riddled features.

I'm interested to see what they've got so far ... if they've got something releasable, we may as well see it.
I do hope and expect that the stuff they add after that will be vetted just as stringently by QA and testers as the stuff that's in now though.
I will also be righteously annoyed if any skills get dropped at this point.

Dude was never aiiight wit dat decision n' had Slim Tim Cain tell our asses bout his fuckin lousy scam well up in advizzle so they could cut it early.

If they feel as though it deserves mo' features while they're playin it, then they'll add some. But a funky-ass bunch of playas demandin one when they're up in tha process of polish n' bug-fixin isn't goin ta happen. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. At best, they'll put it up in tha to-do list fo' tha expansion.

"This message be awaitin moderator approval": All freshly smoked up playas must pass all up in our moderation queue before they is ghon be able ta post normally. Until yo' account has "passed" yo' posts will only be visible ta yo ass (and moderators) until they is approved. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Give our asses a week ta git round ta approvin / deletin / ignorin yo' mundane opinion on crap before hasslin our asses bout dat shit. Once you have passed tha moderation period (think of it as a test), yo big-ass booty is ghon be able ta post normally, just like all tha other retards.

Spent #BlackFriday playing Wasteland 2 Beta. Blood Sausage'd in 5 min b/c I thought I was a Hard Ass. I wasn't. Loving it.

Of course Avellone dying in the first five minutes doesn't say anything about how difficult it would be to someone who's not bad at playing games.

 

[AstroZombie]

I wonder if that thing would translate our posts do proper english if we started writing in ebonics.

I'm having way too much fun with this

It's like I finally truly get Roguey.

 

[Saduj]

Yes, the ebonics thing is amusing.

But the bigger news here is that Roguey is now being lauded for derailing a thread.

Stances, especially crouching, are a precious and important part of immurshun when it comes to tactical rpgs set in a technologically advanced world

because only in a technologically advanced world can people crouch

it's truly a triumph of the 20th century

Fucking people raising fucking stupid points because they are bored, thats the biggest "triumph" of the 20th century. In a modern or futuristic setting where ranged combat dominates stuff like crouching are both essential and basic, and if i need to tell you why, then fuck you.

 

[coffeetable]

as opposed to all those important points you're busy debating. here. in the computer role playing game internet forum.

That does not even relate to what we are talking about you stupid fuck.

Not every developer has experienced egregious issues in managing their campaigns. Thomas Beekers, line producer at inXile Entertainment, told Polygon that in the time during and since the studio's two Kickstarter campaigns — for Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenara — there have been no issues within the community with disruptive backers. The studio also has had no trouble navigating the community using the tools already available them.

"Our backer community is made up of passionate RPG fans that love and know this genre very well," he said. "They're engaged and critical, but in constructive and supportive ways. We haven't really heard any horror stories to be honest."

What up, Codex?

 

[Roguey]

One game developer, who spoke to Polygon under the promise of anonymity, was repeatedly subjected to harassment and libelous statements by one Kickstarter backer, and said they felt utterly powerless to do anything about the situation. The Kickstarter campaign allowed the individual in question a public forum with which to get in touch with the developer — and Kickstarter did not give the developer moderation tools required to remove him from the game's community.

"I was beside myself," the developer said. "What do you do in that situation? Do I contact a lawyer?"

Brenda and Cleve?

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

"Da fact dat dat schmoooove muthafucka hasn't already is clear indication dat inXile isn't anywhere close ta bein strapped fo' chedda."

I just want it to go on record that in a parallel universe Infinitron referred to Brian Fargo as "dat schmooove muthafucka".

Yeah, but he wasn't banned for being unconstructive or too critical. His criticisms, though often harsh, were largely very lucid and well-reasoned. He was banned for being a fuckface.

 

[DalekFlay]

When speaking in generalities of community reaction I don't think it's necessary to point out a few assholes. The communities for all Kickstarter projects have been remarkably constructive and patient overall.

Fucking internet noob thinks he's being harrased because somebody's saying bad words to him on a forum. Some of those "developers" are hilarious.

Banning hiver was unjust.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

Banning hiver was unjust.

hiver was banned?

 

[Lhynn]

hiver was banned?

Not from the codex, he was rightfully banned tho, he was hurting the community with his attitude more than helping it with his insights, right as they were.
