Do the developers favor aliens?

livingin360

I have played NS as commander for over 120 hours... sad i know. I noticed playing aliens is always laid back and the marines are always in a frenzy with anxiety to try to beat the aliens. I believe this is unfair and like a game of chess should be equal. I want to feel like the aliens have to use intelligence to win also. Onos is way too overpowered and just alien damage is too high in general. If not that get Heavy armor and HMG's to combat it asap. With armories fully upgraded and weapons and armors fully upgraded it doesnt even touch onos or aliens and it just makes me angry. I usually start the game and take all the resource nodes and they are left with one. they get fades and then wipe us out even after getting level 2 weapons and armor and shotties and mines and then they get onos with maybe two rt's and its game over with fully upgraded weapons and armor. I am putting out a angry petition to the developers to stop favoring aliens and make it balanced. When i join aliens and they are also in a frenzy to survive then i know your balancing the game. The game is so unbalanced its a joke....

also a good thing would be weapon damage upgrades. I think the marine rifle is a powerful tool in itself and marines should be able to permanently upgrade them with their individual resources.

You should post this in the General Discussion forum so people will actually READ it. I agree 100% and have posted this many times. But this forum is full of idiots and super trolls so expect a bunch of "NO ALIENS NOT OP" even though 5 onos at 13 minutes using 3 resouce towers is OP.

Until all of the game mechanics and features are in place, I think the whole balance argument is almost pointless. Are aliens a bit OP right now? Yes. It is also why UWE is working on it. Also, its not that the Onos is just too OP, it's probably just fine. The problem, like UWE stated, is with the rez structure on aliens and a lack of Exo on marines. This is why you see the 'tech explosions' that have been discussed and no answer to it other than using manpower to take them down. It is also why you see them not changing much (Outside of stomp) with the Onos. What you percieve as a balance issue is more like a structure issue. When everything makes it into place and the rez structure on aliens is fixed then discussions about balance will be more purposeful.

Master, I like the way you Com and you are entertaining to play with. Thus, this is coming from a 'gamer friend', I wouldn't get so bent out of shape by the 'trolls' (real or otherwise) and people that don't agree with you. The forum isn't full of idiots and fighting forum fire with fire isn't a good way to go about things. Just /ignore, keep calm and chive on. Also, any crazy new strats?!
