Since node sucking was taken out BEFORE aliens got res for kills, why not bring it back?

    Sucking is not fun and sucking is not fair. Gorges suck instead of building nodes, which is detrimental to the whole team. It encourages camping and discourages expansion, which is what the aliens should be doing.

    Just how long does it take to get one res from sucking? It might be that building a res tower would be better overall, and sucking could be used to help gain resources required to build that res tower.

    People would go gorge and suck until they had 100. And they would get angry at people for capping nodes because they couldn't suck them any more.

    Hey, Sirus has always sucked, no matter what game/mod/version <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As far as the game feature goes, I do agree with Sirus's points...

    For the team! <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif'><!--endemo-->

    One way you could fix this up alittle is make sucking slower, or even better make it so you can only suck until you have 20 res, that way gorge could suck a node to get enough to build it up but not enough to go fade or onos.

    Nah, we tried to make it work, but once you add human behavior to the mix, its all blown to hell.

    Yea... I'd hate to see some gorge camp inside a WOL and suck RP for onos. That kind of players would always show up no matter how little RP you would get from sucking. People shouldn't be rewarded for camping in safety. More danger - more reward for success.

    Sucking is a very sensitive matter, that needs to be balanced intensively. Frankly my only complaint is that being <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> during the first minutes of the game is utterly boring.

    Sucking was damn fun, and effective. But the game is definetly better off without it in the grand scheme of things, imo.

    You start with enough res to go gorge AND drop a node off the bat now, so thats not an issue
