    Any word on AI? Will we be able to play against the computer at all?

    The simpler it is the better in my experience. Even just a simple "upload log file to uber" with a place to enter in what happened (freeze, full crash, ect) and a OMGWHATDIDYOUDOOOOOOOO???!?!?!?!?! area.

    Challange accepted. I actually wanna see how slow the game runs at max settings. Any hard (or even hardening) minimums besides 64 bit OS?

    I'd rather have a buggy client to give feedback on then both a server AND client. 1 step at a time :D

    My body is ready :cool:

    Actually I suppose I should get Open Broadcaster installed again so I have something to record or stream video with. Or Adobe Live Media Encoder. One of the two.

    This is my first post, but I have been lurking since last year. Just want to thank Uber for all their hard work and constant updates. I'm really looking forward to the alpha and will do my best to actually test it in between playing around with the awesome game you're making

    After I made plans that will occupy the whole weekend based on the assumption that you would not release the alpha on a friday I am quite happy that you destabilized your build a bit. Release it on your monday morning and I will get it at my monday afternoon, where I'll have time. Perfect!

    Can't wait

    Looking forward to it! Even though I do have a 1.5 mega bit line that has a Max download of between 100 - 150 kbps. Also it dc's every 5-10 minutes and has a 20gig per month download limit. This is the sort of net connection you can expect from the uk. >.< I may be able to play a little if I can even download it without corrupting all the files.

    My computers is a hex core though :) may as well improve the areas that I can.

    Its been a while since I crashed my machine, lets brake stuff! (and report it ;) )

    on a serious note, an alpha of this size is amazing in the time you guys have had since the kickstarter!

    Pre-release unstabilities? That sounds familiar. In a company where I used to work as a contractor they even established the following rule:

    "Release on Wednesday. If we plan a release on Monday, then someone will screw it up during the weekend. If we plan a release on Friday, then someone will screw it up on Friday morning."

    Now: that Friday morning isn't really mentioned because people are tired. Instead there is a certain percentage of programmers who don't commit their work until Friday after which everything gets messed up by a screwed up merge :D .

    Out of curiosity, is there something like a beer penalty in Uber for a broken build or unit tests?

    EDIT: don't worry guys, you're not the first to delay alpha release and defo not the last :)

    Not to sound like a broken record, but what is the current status on being able to upgrade beta gift keys acquired during the kickstarter?

    I'm so excited! :D

    I'm running 100/100Mbit fiber (At least theoretical :p ) as I can imagine some other alpha players will have
