Welcome to the new Beta board!

There is a beta build of the game floating around the internet. This is the board to discuss what you find in the beta. Do NOT post links to where you can download the beta. This is to keep our tails out of the fire :D

As of this point, posts mentioning the beta will not be edited unless they include the link. Happy discussing!

Did you and Draco discuss this before making this thread? I know he really didn't like the idea.

Draco doesn't want anything to do with TresCom and he deleted this board without notifying any of the Ops. It wasn't supposed to be deleted and the purpose stated here was its original purpose. Discussions about the beta were not meant to be completely removed from TresCom and held only at TresGame. The only limitation that was to be held here was that no one could discuss where it came from.

Erm. To set the records straight here at TC.. Well I'll quote:

:D schweet
btw tatu and I are posting up a research storm, still in progress :P
at the Tresgame forum
I'm planning to link to the Tresgame forum for Christmas,
(1:11 PM) DracoAlpha-><-:
and also declare in Tresgame that the beta should not be discussed at TresCom, but rather at this forum
it also gives a reason for having more than 1 forum

btw, the spokes holding the fan together are currently modeled. I plan on replacing them with opacity mapped textures at a later time xP
(1:11 PM) DracoAlpha-><-:

any thoughts..?
(1:12 PM) Sir Samuel of En:
lol, I'm not sure if MP will ever open up discussion on the Beta at TC, so yeah sounds good xD

:lol:
This was apparently a complete misunderstanding on our part. After announcing Tresgame's existence in my latest developer journal as planned, it seemed like many members who read the journal did not bother with Tresgame much (and so did not read my announcement there about beta discussion). To keep with the plan and not let any indication of the release (or descriptions of content) be on TresCom, I went around and collected member names of anyone who'd been recently active and/or posted in a topic in which the beta had been mentioned, and then sent a multi-recipient PM to all of them letting them know that Beta discussion was not to be allowed at TresCom, and that Tresgame was in place for such discussion to be allowed at. After I think two to five days or so, when logically considering all that was assumed with not allowing beta discussion at TresCom, I deleted the Beta subforum and dumped its posts into the Research subforum, since it "couldn't" be used anyway.

Apparently, this was not really what Paul had in mind, and we had no idea until the fan got shat upon. :? So now, beta discussion is allowed at both forums. No need to point fingers.

:yum: Oh and btw, this subforum does not display on the index page. I don't have admin powers now - you'll need to edit the Beta forum settings with an option that says something like "Display in [something about upper forum levels]" from No to Yes.

EDIT: Argh! Please copy permissions from another forum (like Research) onto this one, as I can't move any of the Beta topics from Research into here.
