    Don't you fear that new players might be disapointed after seeing the dynamic infestation in the loading screens VS ingame ?

    Workers running around between fade swipes and shotgun shells. Are you crazy? This is not DeadSpace ;)
    All staff has been evacuated of course. We do not want civilians to get hurt or even stand in the way of a frontiersman fighting the alien pest!

    In the next build DI might look better than it does in the loading screens

    It's not unbelievable. Look how many civilian workers go into Iraq, Afghanistan etc, sometimes being killed by either 'side'.

    That is no bug. It's a feature. And it have been in the game for quite some patches now.

    I do not command much so this may not be new but I was playing a game on Summit as Alien commander and I was unable to drop crossroads RT until I built the hive, it was giving me a "Out of range" error. Are we not able to build RTs across the map anymore?

    May be silly question but did you have infestation over the res node? Was there a marine or an extractor there? I've not had this problem so probably just a one off.
  • DavidhenDavidhen Join Date: 2012-10-13 Member: 162225Members
    Couple of things, on some of the maps (tram for sure) as a lerk (or jetpack i assume) you can fly out of the map in some vents and then fly under the tram departures point and kill stuff under ground (MAGIC FLOOR SPORES). Also the alien structures make mechanical sounds when you bite them.

    Also a suggestion sort of linked to a fellows suggestion, perhaps make the infestation turn sort of black and decaying around dying/disconnected cysts. obviously not important but just something i think would add some immersion and atmosphere. also some floaty spore particles around infested areas could be cool.
  • MelancorMelancor Join Date: 2003-12-15 Member: 24415Members
    Minimap on TRAM still needs touch-up. I'm sure that's on the list though.

    I'm not 100% if this is new in this build or I just haven't noticed it before but the blink sound effect keeps playing for about 3 seconds after I stop blinking rather than the "snap" sound it used to make when you finished a blink.

    Has been around since blink exists as far as I know.

    That's a pretty blatant trend, I don't think aliens were buffed THAT much... Seems more likely to be indicative of hitreg problems. Or it could be a lot of abuse of the map glitches.

    Definitely hitreg/map problems since there were virtually no balance changes this patch (afaik).

    On top of that 85 Games is not that much. The sample size is too low to be really usefull.

    This

    Until hit reg is fixed again, it's very hard to really draw any conclusions on the state of the game.

    I couldn't drop any eggs with an echoed shift. (Researched echo in sub, then echod it to cross, couldn't drop eggs with it after that) I think this is a bug, if someone wants to try and reproduce.
  • Shrike3OShrike3O Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 6678Members, Constellation
    Was making shift eggs free intentional? I've gotten in the habit of putting my shifts on hotkey 5 or something, then mashing A repeatedly, since there's little reason NOT to have a giant pile of eggs sitting around. Also makes a great intro to an assault on a marine base, if they're not paying attention and you can get cysts into it... nothing quite as distracting as a giant pile of eggs in the middle of your base while there's skulks zipping around everywhere.

    So any savvy tech wizards have a reassuring clue on whether this is a fixable-within-three-days-problem, or was this because of the code changes that have occurred?
  • peregrinusperegrinus Join Date: 2010-07-16 Member: 72445Members
    update: there are now 160 games collected by ns2stats, including competitive games.

    Aliens have won 62%; marines 38%

    So the sample has doubled and the percentage only changed by 1.
  • ScubboScubbo Join Date: 2012-10-03 Member: 161364Members
    once the hit-reg is fixed, marine's advantage will become apparent again
  • GlissGliss Join Date: 2003-03-23 Member: 14800Members, Constellation, NS2 Map Tester
    not just that, but I know a lot of players were attempting to stack aliens just because I'm sure they were so upset about aliens losing for the last like three weeks
