: I agree with you on most of your points, although you have to realise that
: the Nightly Builds are not really meant for the "mainstream"
: netgameing audience. The way I understand it, the nightly's are more for
: testing out cool new stuff like ingame text chat and, as was the case just
: recently, guided rockets. After the team stabilizes a build enough to
: release it, they release the latest stable build.
: For instance, NATless nightly builds had been around for quite a wile before
: NATless gameplay was incorporated into the "mainstream" latest
: stable build. And if you recall, NATless gameplay was quite buggy for a
: wile before it was stabilized and released.
Absolutely, but unfortunately, the last stable build was released in January. That was a little too long ago. New nightlies aren't fixing the bugs that previous nightlies have created, which is stupid more than anything else.
