  • Well.. it was never really alive was it?

    Didn't make it past birth.

    Why should Welders cost p-res? Gorges. Simple as that. Build/repair stuff faster, and heal your teammates. Sounds like a Gorge to me.

    I presented this point and you ignored it all ready. I don't see the purpose in prese…

    I really don't see how the change will overall negatively effect balance. You consider the con, but not the pro.

    Marines spend their 5 pres each on Welders so the commander saves 10 tres researching them. (1/2 of the co…
  • I must re-iterate that you are addressing an issue that most players will not take the time to understand, but it is a very important aspect of the game.

    Thank you Sewlek. in Armory and Armor Comment by Slyfox101 March 2013

    You are not comparing the mechanics in a parallel situation. Do you see Alien teams using Crags in the same way that Marines use Armories? They simply do not unless they have excess resources, you see them dropping Crags to heal up…

    Crags are not removed and neither are Armories, they are just serving their intended purpose now. Skulks are getting owned without Babbler armor/Gorge heals/Carapace so expect people to start using the same tactics as welding to ac…

    Yes, I see people with welders now and I expect more people to use them in the future with these changes. The problem you are not considering is that Aliens need to use Gorges to heal out of their base. Marines now use Armories, no…

    Seriously? Do you ever see Xenocide used to help win a game? Do you ever see Gorges using bile bomb to take down marine armor?

    If anything, these changes will promote those underused mechanics. Being dependent on teamma…

    Nope. Gorges = Welders + Medpacks for aliens.

    Gorge = 10 pres, likely more on hydras/tunnels
    Welder = 5 pres
    Medpacks = 1 tres each

    This sounds pretty balanced to me, which is the point of…

    Thanks for clearing that up. This is not true though, as Refinery and Docking both have 5 tech nodes. (part of 'my logic' :P) You can't just say 'let's secure these three tech nodes and win the game.' (or even two, when marines tak…

    I would love to see that! At the moment, Veil is my least favorite map.

    My favorite maps are Tram/Summit/Docking.
  • (Quote)
    There is no map in NS2 that has a 'best strategy' besides Veil. Every other map has randomized starting zones for both teams (Docking pre-modded? not sure) and an uneven amount of tech nodes.

    I'm not saying it's wrong t…

    You are missing the point, it is inconsistent, both for new players and pros alike. I didn't say that different game modes were the only option, simply that the difference should be outlined. Veil plays extremely different from the…

    This is very true. It is my opinion that maps should be consistent or clearly provide the difference (different game modes), Veil is just messy and in between to me.

    To be fair, the battle can be won in the early game o…

    Why would they fight over the fifth? Because it's there. Just because something is the 'best strategy' doesn't mean that this is how the majority of gamers will play the game. There being virtually no reason to go for a third hive …

    It would be helpful for your to explain your position rather than just stating it. :)

    -Phase gates and jetpacks.
    -All official maps so far have 5 tech nodes except Veil.
    -Game is asymmetrical, of course it works. Arcs bro.
    -Please do, none of these are credible.

    Veil is actually the wor…

    I see what you accidentally did there.

    Amazing trailer, excellent work. Hype!
  • I'm sorry, am I the only one that sees the moderator response to this thread as 10x more toxic than the thread itself?

    Removing people's posts because you don't agree with them - not because they are breaking forum rules?

    You would rather the game stay smaller/niche so that you don't have to deal with people you don't like? o.o

    Cosmetic micro-transactions saved TF2, it wasn't doing very well until they went free-to-play. That's when the …

    How exactly does a system without matchmaking solve the two issues you mentioned? In NS2 there are a lot of obnoxious people, as well as a lot of people who concede early. This is not related to the matchmaking system in any way. M…

    Judging by the name, I'm thinking it will be the main mechanic that sends Gorge Babbler's after their target. We shall see! :D

    I'm going to stop responding to you. My suggestion in the first post is not the only solution and you would know that if you read the whole thread.

    The problem is shown in this thread by various people who have posted t…

    I recommend that you take a step back and look at this thread objectively. No one is stating that good players should not be allowed in rookie servers, the issue here is that new players frequently have no environment that they are…

    You really should think about what you are saying. The issue I mention is not subjective, but the evidence I provide is (as most evidence is).

    Also, because of the ability to change your name at will in NS2, its not as …

    Anyone who claims ADHD is a troll is just trying to derail the thread, I'm sure most of us don't even know him very well, and judging by his response I'd say he's a fairly nice guy.

    But this thread is not about ADHD, he…

    I don't think that my experience will be reliable, as I don't have the same perspective as the people I know that have quit, (it's also based on luck) but I sure will try to get some proof for you. in Why do 'pro' players play in rookie servers? Comment by Slyfox101 February 2013

    People are consistently accusing others of hacking, so just because this is obvious to you, does not mean it is obvious to everyone.

    I'm curious as to why this post is even relevant..

  • Appreciated responses from everyone. I hope that this didn't result in too much of ADHD or All-In being put on blast, I was really just trying to address the issue of a proper learning environment for newer gamers.

    Any further posts plea…
