Gorge Abuse?

mousiehamster

<div class="IPBDescription">the sucking ability</div> I've seen in the changelist that aliens don't have any resource cap limits and gorges can SUCK resources from resource nodes. Could this be abused? I mean a player could evolve to gorge, suck up a ton of resources and then evolve in a higher alien lifeform (like onos) in a short period of time. And I'm saying that the whole team could use the same tactic. Is this something that could be exploited?

Shadowics

It could be done - but not exploited. If the whole team is sitting around sucking up res then the marines are free to do as the please.

philmcneal

no can't be abused as you get more resources you the rate you suck slows down

the sucking thing is to encourage to build buildings and then suck again.

the above change was made with gorge suck exploitation in mind. Although still possible to exploit, it wont be as bad as it used to be.

Well the multiple gorge accessibility should do a decent job in countering that. Although I do fear 1.1 will allow full gorge teams to defeat the marines. Anybody remember that video/demo running 1.04?

Kenichi

first that video was 1.02 or 1.03 but thats trivial, secondly, gorges could just as easily run through marines now if not more easily. The trick is now they do more damage on spit so they all wouldnt be healing like crazy. Its more mixed now, but the gorge rush isnt dead.

It would be good if only 1 gorge would be able to suck a nozzle. I mean, no more than 1 gorge sucking the same nozzle. Gorge sucking idea is a very good and retricting 1 gorge for nozzle is a good balance issue.

Multiple Gorges per nozzle spread each tick amongst each other - they don't get more.

Just trying to reduce duplication.
