SEV Beta History starting V1.0

[Slick]

That's just a "feel good" change. For gameplay purposes, you should play like 1% = 0% and 99% = 100%. I have always thought that if someone feels much better about a 1% chance than a 0% chance, then I'd like to play some Texas Hold'em with them sometime.


edit: and DARN IT! I was hoping for info on the next patch.

Could have sworn he's been in here following our posts. That's simply superb news. And does it also prove that AI combat was indeed running at 8x?

[Uncle_Joe]

Well, it sounds like the game will actually be playable after the next patch.

Sooo, the $20000 question is when will this fix hit the open market? Hopefully sooner rather than later because its quite important IMO.
