Administrators Netduma Iain Posted March 24, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks for taking your time out of your busy schedule to post this! I appreciate it as I am so do others! Looking forward to the new DumaOS!!! Thank-you, I really can't wait till DumaOS is out in the community. One of its key features is we can evolve it easily so we will have a fast feedback loop with customers and keep improving for the indefinite future Well said. Like i said in another post, people need to chill out, its free, and i'd rather have folk testing and make sure its bug free than for you to release it and every ones Duma gets bricked. Well done guys for testing also. Thanks, it's getting more stable each day. Its at the point now that I personally would prefer using it over the R1 but a bit more testing left to do. Being an alpha tester is not for most people! Looks amazing! Thanks for the teaser Iain! Awesome, wait till you see it in motion mate! Can't wait until it's out! Thanks Iain! Thanks, that's really encouraging to hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Iain here with a long-awaited news update: First of all we realise there has been a lot heated discussion in this thread about when DumaOS should / will be ready. It's great to see so many of you are passionate and excited. For the handful of users who are feeling impatient please be assured we are working as hard and as fast as we can to get a version ready for you. We are very confident you will love the results once the upgrade is available. However, transitioning from a small number of testers to tens of thousands of open beta testers is a huge leap so we are doing everything we can to optimise the OS before we do this. If we rush out a version that is not sufficiently tested then we run the risk of doing more harm than good. You, as a tester, will have to wait on us to fix issues while your gaming suffers. And as developers it puts us under a lot of pressure that is not conducive to creating great router software. So when will the Open Beta begin? Well the closed beta is already underway and it is going well so far - the feedback has been very positive and thanks to our testers we have resolved a bunch of issues meaning we're getting close to a fully stable version. Once we reach that point we will expand the testing to more of our closed beta testers. This means we are confident we will have an upgrade for you in the near future and we are even more confident that you guys will love DumaOS, but ONLY WHEN IT'S READY! Thank you for all your support, patience and enthusiasm. And to tie you over, attached is a new screenshot from the UI (left click to expand). This is the 'Dashboard' feature, which allows you to pin your favourite features onto one single screen. This creates one master page from which you can control DumaOS. Have fun speculating what each feature is for! Thanks, Iain & The Netduma Team DumaOS Screenshot.png OHHHEMMMGEEE! Looks great and can't wait to test it out! Thanks Iain!

TrayDay Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 No other company would give to the community as The Netduma Team have. Years ahead of the game. No one is even close to developing or even care about the gaming community experience as this team does. So just saying thank you and appreciate all the hard work.

MrPapacherry Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Okay so Mikrotik has 160 employees. Ubiquiti (the people who make the EdgeRouter) has 537 employees... Know how many Netduma has? 1 who can code (correct me if I'm wrong). So quit your whining and bitching because you can't get your update fast enough lol it's ready when it's ready. Nobody promised you a set schedule for updates when you bought the router. it's pretty evident one is not enough. Simple solution hire more people who can code.

MrPapacherry Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Lol that comparison to the netduma company and cod was anything far from a good argument.when you buy cod you theoretically have to deal with andhave laid for all the updates to come to the game in the form of patches. You BUY the crappy dlc and yes all cod dlc has been literally trash the last few years. Anyways it's a whole different comparison. There's alot of saltyness on these forums and it's ridiculously toxic. We all want Duma OS to be here tomorrow. I'm not even an original Duma owner since day one, in fact I only since knew about it when bo3 was around. I never knew back when I had cable I could get the netduma and have better games thanks the crappy matchmaking was giving me. But realistically, if your connection is half decent and fairly stable it helps keep those decent games more frequently. If your connection is like mine and it's literally a jittery mess than you can still expect it to help mostly but that's about it. It does what it's been advertised to do. perhaps you're missing the point so let me clarify. Both are bought and paid for with expectations of getting an as advertised product. Whether it be free updates, DLC or anything else for that matter. It's just that simple and my only complaint with duma. Comprende? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPapacherry Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 lol yeah that's not a problem. Cause all companies start with 300 employees netduma has been around for a minute now. If you don't start by hiring one you won't get ta 2 and definitely not the 300. Putting heads together is a good thing and I'm sure the man wouldn't mind some help.

BOLDSHOTER Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Still complaining, after what Iain just said, WOW like C'mon I would rather just have Iain be a coder sense he knows the ins, and outs, of his software development for years, sense like 2014 other coders that would be hired by netduma, most of them would wanna write the code a different way, or just not agree with Iain, and the rest of netduma staff, but maybe they would, and maybe Netduma can't afford another coder, which i'm sure hourly pay for a coder would be in the hundreds if they were to bring another one aboard, that's just my guesses, could be completely wrong, other than that the router works like it's advertised for me, so I don't really need DumaOS, but it's always nice to have a upgraded software U.I with cool features, that beat LAG, if you know how too use it, no human error, and your ISP connection is good.

Administrators Netduma Iain Posted March 25, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 25, 2017 OHHHEMMMGEEE! Looks great and can't wait to test it out! Thanks Iain! Glad to hear it mate No other company would give to the community as The Netduma Team have. Years ahead of the game.

Thanks so much, very much appreciated wooooowwwww .... The interface is beautiful XD congratulations Cheers brother! it's pretty evident one is not enough. Simple solution hire more people who can code lol yeah that's not a problem. Cause all companies start with 300 employees When we have 300 employees we will offer PapaCheery & ModBox an all expenses paid holiday to our HQ presumably in the UK - so long as PapaCherry promises not to hurt me!

Thanks for the support. We've gone from 1 team member to about 12, not all tech. We're growing thanks to the #DumaArmy. Thanks again for all the support looks like we want be getting this update until the end of the year. Don't be pessimistic doesn't the screenshot look like its nearly done? Also we already have non-employees using it. Be patient please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Thanks for the update and screenshot. Yes, it is frustrating having to wait but being a relatively new start up company it is to be expected and understandable. You are always gonna have negative comments and haters such as MrPapacherry but I am very very confident it is well worth the wait.........just hurry the heck up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca65 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I would ban any more threads re the Duma OS until it is ready for general release, it would stop all the negativity from the children stamping their feet because it's not ready yet. Also stops the mods from getting into discussions with the children who keep throwing their dolly out the pram. And if you are a grown up, you will realise that I am being sarcastic and treat this post with the disdain it deserves, if you are a child then I am already wearing a flame proof suit, and water repellant oil* * means whatever you say to me will just roll off, but have fun saying it anyway!

XSXS Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 This is really good news and is all I needed to see right now as I mentioned earlier I was more worried about the hardware than anything else! At the end of the day the Netduma works great right now and TBH I would have been happy if they just fixed a couple of bugs on the existing firmware but an all new DumaOs will suffice! LOL. I had the displeasure of using a nighthawk R7000 last week. That router sucks! My KDR graph in Titanfall 2 plummeted and then I re-connected the Netduma and it skyrocketed back up! haha!

bbursley Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Not to sound pessimistic. But isn't this screenshot very similar to the one we already saw at the beginning of this post or the other one which revealed the first sneak peek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Funny that it looks similar, Id have thought it would look way different. It is a lot more detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbursley Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hahaha I suppose. I just meant that it's something we've already seen for the most part. I realize it is in fact more complete. However it would of been neater to see other menus within the duma OS. You feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Well there maybe stuff in there that could be patent pending or anything really, I think it looks lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
