I Like 1.04 H

Aaron

<div class="IPBDescription">that's it</div> Ok, I popped in a server running 1.04 h, and to my amazement, Marines were actually surviving against 3 hive aliens. We had just a few HA and HMG, and some armor/wep upgrades. In 1.03 or some previous 1.04 versions, Marines would just get obliterated once fades came out. But to my surprise this game actually had an endgame! We got owned by the aliens in the end (well, not much is gonna stop those Onoses), but it was fun to actually fight 3-hive aliens and have a chance in hell against them! I couldn't believe it, for a while we were actually <b>making progress</b> against a team of many fades and lerks and even an Onos or two (that's when the tide turned). I also played as aliens under 1.04 h and thought it was balanced fine. I like the reduced splash damage of the acid rocket (yes, as alien)...it makes acid rocket much less spammy. Also, increased fade cost seems to bring fades out at the right time, giving the marines just a tiny bit longer to get an extra armor upgrade or something before having to face fades.

I hope something close to 1.04h becomes the next official 1.0x release. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Omg! There is a 1.04H already?! And all I hoped for was a patch for Linux-based servers so MT would work and fade cost increased to 54. Those two things alone would be a worthy patch to release.

They are still fixing some Linux bugs, so we can probably expect an <b>I</b> release before it goes gold.

I guess the gameplan is to try and iron out as many niggles as possible, bug and balance wise, before they get down to tackling 1.1. Hence so many versions of 1.04.

Where do I go to see the change log?
