I think VUG should release the patch a few days or maybe a week early on TW & TWL (or at least to a select group of people who actually play the game competitively) for testing & review before public release. This way we can be sure that all the bugs that need to be addressed are fixed and work properly on multiple people's installations. We could also help stress-test it for them.
In Marweas' initial post a few years ago announcing that "The next Tribes game got a green light!", he said the beta period would be lengthy to ensure all bugs were worked out before the game's release. I'd really like for this to happen with the new patch so we can get it right the first time and not require future patches to fix bugs and other holes in the game.
Regardless of VU's decision on this matter, I have much for you guys for supporting this awesome, awesome game. Thanks!
