The lerk is mysterious in many ways, bow to the lerk that roars with no sound....

Easy silence is really some kind of smoke that comes from the aliens that prevent sounds from hearing as marines but aliens still hear it. How primal scream works? It releases a signal to other aliens in their bodys telling it to move faster, attack faster, and gain energy faster. *All things were made up*

im_lost · June 2004

That stress reduction kit really works.

AvengerX · June 2004

I dunno, usualy when I comm its the aliens that need stress reduction kits, after a long grueling battle of my electric fortresses of elect TFs and my siege happy ways , thoose alliens can usually use a break from my mad skillz.

I've been recording over some of my sounds. I replaced my chuckle with the sound of me laughing. Its so funny to hear it spammed. Also, primal scream with peopel saying roar!

ROAR!

its teh win. But if the filesize is too big you'll find that it slows the game down.

Even better, replacing all the weapon sounds with various sounding bangs!

HMG = BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!

but THE BEST thing to do, is replace the gorge healing spray, so that it says WOOHOOOO everytime you spray.

AvengerX · June 2004

I'll have to try that sometime, it sounds. . . . interesting

Kwil · June 2004

According to the manual, silence makes it so that the cartilage, connective "tissues", and other bodily functions of the alien are softened, quieted, and more responsive. It says nothing about eliminating the ability to make voluntary sounds. So when your skulk has silence and is running across the floor, his little toesy-woesy's are actually being daintily placed so he makes no noise.

Of course, this also means that when the silenced skulk xenocides, it means to scream like that.

Heck, can you blame it? If I were going to blow myself up, I'd probably want to let out a blood-curdling scream on the way as well.

Well skulks need coaching on proper suicide-bombing techniques then.

......

I will skip the REALLY obvious ending to this joke for Nemo's sake, I'm sure you all can figure it out.

AvengerX · June 2004

I think xeno should be silenced by silence, but PS is just so worthless who cares if the marines can hear it the'll be like " oh well theres a desperate lerk " I mean PS really does stink , feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

You're wrong.

Go to Kharaa Strategy, and read my thread about the bomber lerk model. It's useful in Classic, as well, as it can really help speed up base cracking if there are a few acid rocket fades around.

Cereal_KillR · June 2004

Whoever says it's nanites is wrong...

Nanites are Marine-friendly. To counter Nanites, the aliens have gotten the nanite archenemy, that is to say, BACTERIUM

Doesn't matter. It's STILL nanites. Between that and the number 42, you can pretty much just go ahead and call the whole universe a finished project.

DazeGoonBoy · June 2004

If no-one is around to hear a lerk scream, does it make a sound?

NS epistomology, that's a new one.

"Medpack"
"How do you know you need a medpack"
"I just know"
"Ahh, but how do you know that you know?"

I would try to do something with two marines finding a res tower and deciding that an invisible gorge made it, and the other arguing that.

If you've never read philosophy, this is all funny.

hmm, I don't get why you'd bother PSing when you can just chomp up the enemy yourself

its not hard

its about zenoing, leaping in the middle, and hoping their all hurt and will kill them all

Sky · June 2004

What's zenoing? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

And PS helps a LOT with soloing marines as a lerk. Basically it doubles your damage cause you get more bites in. It is definitely NOT useless. And who's to say you can't PS and then go bite them. Best lerks can do the sequence PS - spore - umbra - bite - umbra - fly away easily, and it is ridiculously effective.

Beretta · June 2004

No way does a lerk have the energy to do all that in 1 go <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Hmmm NS philosophy, what religion are the kharaa? And if God made us in his form did he poop out the hive?

You could try out the Primal Scream Sound in my <a href='http://www.shark5060.net/user/fricken/sound.zip' target='_blank'>Soundpack</a>

Be warned tough, it's pretty crazy.
