Server Limited To 1 Gorge At A Time...

Nogami

Well this has got to be about the stupidiest thing I've ever seen... A server that's running a full 24 player game that apparently is set so aliens can only have one gorge at a time. Why even bother playing as an alien - the marines were winning every single game. A server with that many players can easily support 2, or even 3 gorges.

Naturally the instant that one of our team members turns into that gorge, he drops a chamber ontop of himself and get stuck, doesn't know what to do (first time player). Starts asking how to heal aliens...

Sigh...

Errr, why tell us about it? You should probably whine at the server forum.. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

I wonder why newbies are fascinated with going gorg all the time? I think they believe this is like Team Fortress Classic or something & they'll just build OCs & be able to rack up an uber-frag count. Anyways, I think I know what server your talking about & they have an option to "eject" a gorg if some incompetant retard decides to take hold. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

More servers need to add to their rule charts for newbies to NOT go gorge/comm unless they have a fair understanding of the game. It's quite annoying to have someone join the game the first time then go gorge/comm & they couldn't drop a Defense Chamber/IP if their life depended on it.

One very very simple reason. The game TELLS them to do it.

If you still have the helpful little pop-up boxes enabled, you'll notice that a little way into the alien game, a "helpful" little message pops up saying "Aliens can evolve into new lifeforms! Try it! Right click, the move your mouse up, then right!". This results in newbies going gorge because not only did the game tell them to do it, but there is a natural assumption that a higher evolution is BETTER.

Remove this part of the help popups and the numbers of newbie gorges will drop drastically, I guareentee it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
