What version should I play
« on: October 31, 2010, 06:19:26 pm »

I want to play some serious adventure mode, but I heard there were several issues with it in .16. What is the latest version that still has some good-old quality civilization killing.

Ah, right. Seems to be a trend lately of significant releases immediately followed by serious bugfixes.

This time I bet sieging goblins in Fortress mode bring the goblins ride night creatures into battle and the game crashes.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Until the game crashes, that is.

He means that .17 will likely be bug fixes, not implementation of new things.
I neither agree nor disagree with this.

.17 Is implementation of new stuff, likely including bugs. .18 Shall be fixes for those bugs.

You've got it backwards. Merchant is right, all the stuff in the devlog goes into .17.

A few days ago, the monthly report said that the update would be released in a few days. It could be released anytime now!

You do know that Toady hasn't released it yet because HE'S FIXING THE FUCKING BUGS SO 31.17 WILL BE PLAYABLE?

You do realize that Toady always polishes releases. But it takes involved players to discover the killer bugs.
