Hive Healing Speed

Paq

In 1.04 if you are a fade and stay close to a hive when marines is trying to attack you are almost immortal. I mean 20hp per second!! I think it would be better if skulks, gorges and lerks could have that healing speed, but with fade and onos the speed could be the same as it was in 1.03 (8hp per second).

Beautiful 16-res shotgunners with siege support... blissful commanding. Nothing seems capable of stopping 'em (except this one incident involving two Onos which I'd rather not talk about <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> )

I do seem to heal pretty fast as alien though... but if a marine is going to take on a Fade defending a hive <i>alone</i> then they deserve to get an acid rocket to the face or claw through the sternum...

You're no more invincible than if you stand next to two DCs... I think it's just fine - taking a hive is not supposed to be easy.

Besides, your team won't last very long sitting in a hive waiting for the enemy to show up.

(4 DCs, one DC= 10 hp every TWO seconds, two DCs ~=20 every two seconds, 4~=40 every two secs, 20 every sec.)

Considering that a LMG does 100 damage a second, and has a 50 round mag... this is unfair? Just have 2-3 guys open up on the fade at once... he'll die.

That is why you dont attack the Fade and target the hive if you are in a 3+ person group.
