it did basically the same thing as scent of fear, except it left a "trail" instead of an accurate indicator of the marine's location.
before they changed it, scent of fear used to appear only when marines were below a certain amount of health. this made pheramones useful.
but then they change SoF, and pheramones essentially became SoF's retarded little brother.
was replaced by:
Pheremones (its probably spelt wrong...sue me): marines leave a trail of yellow cloud, so you can trail them. This was pretty much drop dead useless. By the time you can see the clouds, you can probably hear the marine. It also gets annoying in battle (lots of yellow clouds everywhere)
was replaced by:
Focus. The most useful of the lot. Results may vary <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

1) what. if u die to 1 bite and feel the need to **** about it, do the math first. 1 skulkbite=75 dmg therefore focus=150. 1 marine armor point=2 hp.
2) you dont like focus because u either cant use it or cant hit the skulk before it bites you. dont u realise focus is a BUFF for the aliens. goddamit u should all be freaking grateful forever for that.
edit: 3) YEAH lets replace focus with something.. umm wait, what? hey i dont like celerity because i hate it when celerity leap skulks kill me even tho i have HMG. oh yeah that brings us to another point: leap is totally unfair skulks are for AMBUSHING jeez. replace leap with, i dunno, think of something.

Perhaps we should fling in some new ideas like..
<u>Sensory Upgrade: Inteligence Lift</u>
Allows gorges to pickup and drop alien buildings elsewhere and one at a time, also gives other species of alien, LerkLift, or fades carrying gorges.
To everyone else, WTH remove something just because you get nubed by it due to you forget to get armor1 in co_?
Deadly serious, focus bums and pheremones doesnt help. Chuck something else in! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
People like him whine about something which results in a nerve of the Aliens.
Please think before posting such a crap.

this kind of flow of conversation continues to amuse me.
and my first post was dead serious, because i dont play aliens, heavens sake who can with all these 15-shots-1-kill hackers rampaging our peaceful community.
YOu said it yourself, you dont play aliens... thats my opinion of why problems have started to arise as is, and its comming from the co_ only areas. (its just my opinion).
Focus is only a 1 hit kill if you dont play smart and get armor. What, you think goin all heavy weps with no defense will win teh game? It dont work that way. Besides, what use would welders have then in CO cept for the CC? Geez.
on a side note... isnt it kinda embarrasing having people watch you jump up in down in the marine selection with 5 other people waiting for someone to go alien so you can stack marine?... I know its mean but... bleh... I wont finish that thought. Play aliens and you'll see how the game really is, being one sided like that your opinion is kind of invalidated.

New sensory upgrade:
Fade-lift
"Fade blinks into marine base, chucks a gorge at the comm chair, killing it for 15,000 points of damage!"
<!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo--> "OMG WHAT WAS TAHT"
to be clear:
how the hell can that little dog kill me in just 2 bites? wait theres more. it spends two (2) res for an upgrade that makes me die in ONE hit. bs.
On a side note, in order to have 3 early game it will also tie up two lifeforms for gorge and sens, one stays to drop the 3rd, which means a minium of 2 lost RTs and a higher lifeform. Plus harder to survive as lerk/fade.

Precisely why i never go aliens anymore, oh and speak nicely to others man, you dont even know me. I support many actions in trying to make the marines stronger, why do you think i want rid of 'focus'?

You missed the point. His point is that you are suggesting nerfs to the aliens, but you never play them, so you don't have any idea how it will affect them. You always play marines and want marines to be stronger. Many people will simply see that you just want to make the game easier for yourself and that you aren't concerned with the overall balance.
Hurray! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
As for TOmekki.... I&S forum buddy <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Well all if I knew anything about coding n stuff I'd try to make both teams evenly matched with outrageous buildings,battles,TOTAL on the edge of yer seat gameplay where neither team knows what the heck is going on and to get "OUT THERE" to find out.hehe
One of the things I'd do is maybe give skulks the ability to "only" build oc's on the walls,ceilings to helpout the gorge hmmm could be intresting since skulks walk the walls and ceilings.Say imagine walking into a hiveroom "a cloaked one or whatever and there's oc's on the walls and ceilings as well as the ground."Seige" and nades could take care of this prob,but make it hell for jetpackers <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> OH YEAH baby there's one dead marine.
Second thing give "xenocide" to onos also and "upping" the damage it could cause,like being able to takeout half of marine base regardless of whatever's built n takeout afew marines with it.
Seriously I had a another dream where I was in a map and saw oc's on the walls and ceilings lol.
Ok back on topic lol I like focus although I hardly use it.and when I did use it,ah cool taking marines out in one bite <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Forlorn- I like the idea of Fade-lift hehe being able to blink into rine base n chuck a gorge at the CC , lol ah yeah would be good times.I'm serious there.
I 'HAVE' played as aliens and know the FULL DAMAGE AND UPGRADES calculations so i do know how it will affect the game, iv bin here 4 about 3 years least. I play marines and want them to be stronger cos at the moment theyre too strong in combat and too weak in ns.
Many people will think i want the game eaiser for myself, but the fact is the people I play with dont, so pardon me. I am very concerned with the balance of the game having playing it going days straight [edit] for those 3 years [/edit] playing the same people on the same server trying differant tactics every game.
-_- Does everyone think i know nothing? KNOW before you judge! I enjoy going aliens, but i simply prefer marine side by default experience.
this is what i read
joined: december '03
and btw ns has only been out for 2 years.

wow. looks like u edited out the best part. ah well. but yeah "playing the same people?" why on earth? do u realise that that in itself makes all your arguments and opinions regarding this game NULL. also im interested in learning how its possible for u to discover new hackers weekly (as you have, tho indirectly, stated in various other threads. dont take this as a flame, at least not too much) if youve played this game with the same people for 3 years? cause that'd mean you are a pre-release pt. CONGRATS.
