    First! (am actually upset because I was expecting a patch soon, and who went ahead to actually make a model for a stun gun!)

    I think the real joke is Skulk movement.

    You know if you wanted a real April Fool's joke you should have just made a post about releasing the Female marines models. We all know how funny you guys think it is to leave the FEEEMALES out.

    I was (literally) the only one who loved the stun gun when it was announced. This change was purely done because I held Hugh hostage. You're welcome.
    The 33% damage increase was his idea though.

    Nice 1st April, but a bit too obvious.

    Still, hope the stun gun will make it into the game in some form since you already have the model and effects.
    And hoping that there will actually be still an update today. :p

    I'm sorry, but the changes you've made to lemon trees make playing as them totally unfun. It doesn't matter whether things are more balanced now - the main issue is FUN. You can barely move while playing now. It's almost as if you're rooted. PLANKED. The skill ceiling on the lemon tree is ridiculously low now, and there's little reason to not grow out of one as soon as you possibly can. Sorry, UWE, but you've ruined the game and I suspect that you'll probably burn eternally for your sins.

    Your concerns are very valid, @NousWanderer and we're always trying to make the game better. However, lemon trees were simply too powerful and skilled players were insta-gibbing newbs the moment they entered the server. While lemon trees have been nerfed, you do now have a 33% damage increase and this could perhaps make up for some of the loss.

    Rest assured balance is an ongoing process and Unknown Worlds will continue to iterate and improve it. Feedback such as yours is very valuable!

    Hold on… are lemon trees on marine side or do Gorges grow them as upgrade of their Hydra? Because if marines get hit with the nerf bat again, prepare for some massive whine.
