<div class="IPBDescription">imho</div> Hello,
I think this is not the first time we can talk about that but ...
IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN AS MARINES !
When 3.0 get released, I was so pleased to see that new version out, but, after games and games, incuding FFA and pcw (scrim), I think that NS is going bad with 3.0
Of course, some of you are going to say "marines need different strategies" "need to lock hive m8", but, you must admit there's a real problem with 3.0
In FFA, more than 75% of games are alien win, in pcw, we see almost the same score : 2-2, all alien wins (even when the team have a really different skill).
For example, look at the nation cup, almost all alien win !
Making free upgrade to alien unbalance to much tthe game, I prefered the old system with up =2, because now, the game is too unfair.
So, upgrade = 1 ? Or change something else ?? Of course, but do it fast please, because, this 3.0 is killing NS.
3.0 is killing many clan (many very good players have stopped NS because the game was too unbalanced), and is also killing NS I've no nope for the future of NS if 3.1 does not change many things.
I think that 3.0.2 is a good thing, but it doesn't balance enought the game.
PLEASE, DEV TEAM, DO SOMETHING, 3.0 IS KILLING NS !!!

The concerns about aliens being too powerful are founded, from what we can see from lots of clan matches played since 3.0 FINAL. And I wouldn't really take the retarded "omg marines always win in 13v13 games!" thread into account.
The "lol !? <i>adapt</i>, nub." sentence is becoming a classic here.
Free upgrades add a depth to the alien game that hasn't existed since 2.0, they are no longer locked into a hard DMS chamber build. I have seen EVERY chamber order done and work, although it is true that some are still worse then others (MSD is tragic). We aren't going to add upgrade costs back in JUST to push the game back into the poor gameplay but better balanced state of B5, it just isn't the right move here.
3.02 was an attempt to bring some balance back to the game as early as possible, but the real, big issues will be getting addressed at the release of 3.1. NS won't DIE in the mean time, there is always going to be alot of dedicated NSers, and it isn't like past versions haven't expericanced more inbalances then the current one does, even of a few of them were definately more balanced.
Rest assured, balance is a big issue here, and it WILL be adressed in the future.
Don't worry, I wasn't trying to dismiss the post, I actually agree, and feel aliens get it a <b>little</b> too easy at the moment, especially the more coordinated the players. Hence why the clan scene is feeling the biggest impact.
On the other, it's quite hard to repress a little chuckle as the people getting 'lol !?adapt, nub' thrown at them are often the same ones who were saying 'olo get some skillz' when they were happily tearing alien teams to bits single-handedly over & over in previous versions.
Karma is a wonderful thing, I feel.
