Whats the latest on the hover bug ?

[CaptPicard]

Just curious......

I haven't (alone with many) visited these forums for a while now and was wondering what the latest was regarding "have you put the physics back to 1.2 style yet ?" or at least made an option for the host ?

If not then it's a shame cos you would have so many 1.3 games up as all the decent players are still in 1.2.

Don't want to get your backs up here people or start a flameing war, I just simple would like an update...

I heard rumours that sometime after I left the beta team, the devs started addressing the physics issues, to keep hovering out, but make the ship handling somewhat similar to 1.2.

I'm afraid I can't give you any more information.

Hi Oppressor!

All I can say is: "Do not worry about it."

[Fishbone]

The problem with this statement

All I can say is: "Do not worry about it."

is that it comes from a modder.

Opp is a hc vet and therefore doesn't trust modders.
Truth is, there were changes to the physics.
Whether or not vets like it, I don't know. Too bad most of the vets had to drop out of the closed beta.

Actually, I worry about the physics alot. Personally, I like them, but I am also aware that I don't have the same abilities as other players in the community.

They were changed again, that is why I am telling him to "not worry".  Not saying how they were changed.  I just want this conversation to be put to rest.

[CaptPicard]

Hope that the new change satisfies the whole community , would be a real shame if it dosen't .

Number one rule of the 1.3 boards. Thal shalt not mention the H word, such an evil thing must not be named and will bring upon thou total annihilation by the BZ2 gods.

Testing and reporting bugs is somewhere down in the thirties, but I cant be bothered to look it up right now.

Oh really?

Hov...

(tee hee hee hee)

lol

[Spawn]

where do you get a 12 ft long pole?
ive only found them in metric units

[Wingflier]

Sorry...my girlfriend measured it for me...

I'll have to talk to her about that...

[GJC]

I wouldnt worry about it either because BZ2 will keep fading away slowly without 1.3 ever playing a major role.

1.3 will never be more than it is right now. A nice SP/MPI mod. Sad but true.

Now Im neither a team member/modder nor a hc vet so what Im saying here has no meaning at all.

You are exactly right


Edit,

Explanation:  I personally can't stomach 1.2 anymore.  I'm not saying 1.2 is bad, I just like 1.3 better.  In my post I was being half sarcastic and half straight.  1.3 isn't "official" yet.  Yes, it maybe true that 1.3 will never has as many players as 1.2 but, I will probably be playing 1.3 for the rest bz2 days.

I also think at the moment we should not think about bz2 dieing.  There still seem to be plenty of games up.  And there is a dribble of newbes that happen along occasionally.
