If 1.03 is bad, then you can start complaining... but it hasn't even been released yet. That's what a beta test is for. If you can't handle a beta, don't go to a server with it.
Pseudo, the point is to do the whining now, <i>while</i> it's in beta. After all, what's the point in testing something without the feedback? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
btw Ahnteis, I've played many games where public voting was Bad thing. People get kicked because the mob just vote, and didn't see\know what happened. People get kicked for "camping" (AARGH I HATE THAT TERM) at stuff they're meant to protect. Yes, public voting can be mob rule, which is why only the side with no hives\CCs should be allowed to do it.
Hang on a sec. While we're at it, what if the CCs are down but there are still plenty of inf portals? :/
Feedback does not come in the form of "This sucks... NS is going down hill... I'm going to stop playing this mod." If there's even a little bit of this in a thread, I'm sure Flayra would be inclined to ignore it... like I'm sure he's ignoring this thread. It's called "1.03 Patch is Evil" for heaven's sake.
There are some useful threads in this forum on the subject.
1) the thread sub-topic is a joke 2) when a thread contains 50 sensible psoters giving constructive criticism of a feature they don't like and one whiny dramaqueen, why do you take the dramaqueen as example? is it supposed to be another example of moronic minorities getting more attention than the sensible majority?

As one of the few Gorges who has pulled off a last-minute re-Hive, much less working it up to a victory, I have to say that I hate the worldkill time-limit. It's amazing how often Marines will get a second Hive, and since all their HA/HMG are off at the third one they either *don't bother* to put up turrets at the second, sensing victory ever-so-close, or only put up extremely light defenses which can be easily taken down by a single Skulk.
There is NO better feeling in the game than being a 'useless' Gorge, hiding out in the vents until you have 80RP, and tossing up one of the hives that they 'cleaned out'. The cheers on Voicecomm are like NOTHING you've ever experienced in a mod, when people start spawning in again.
Much less if your team is good enough to hide out and build up while the marines are 'mopping up the last of them'. And start wondering why there are so many to 'mop up' just before they get taken out by a group of Fades? That's nothing short of electrifying. I've managed to do it *twice*, in probably close to a four-digit count of games. It's almost better than sex. Heck, it /is/ better.. it happens a lot less often.

I'd say that if there was a round-end kill, it would ONLY trigger if there were no Resource Nodes left for the 'losing' team, and in the Marines' case only if their CC and spawn portals were down. Alien side, only if the 'communal over-pool' (including those who jump out into the RR to add their RP to the 'pool') does not contain enough RP to build a Hive. Including cost of going Gorge.
At that point, you'd just have to make sure to kill all the Hives (CC/Portals) *and* all the Resource Nodes. They're in the same location every game, after all. Commander knows where they all are. The likelihood of a stalemated game at that point would go WAY down, without cheating the Valiants (psycho Gorges) out of their attempt at a comeback play.

Oh man it's refreshing to be reminded of stuff that happened before NS was released... Before everybody got.... Lame...
I am going to reserve judgement on this one. On one hand it is annoying to see people doing the lamer hold out tactics, but I still remember 2 nights ago when we did make a comeback completely against the odds...
We went from no hives and 2 ppl left to having 2 hives and having had chased the marines out of two completely separate bases (they kept rebuilding elsewhere while we were taking down one base)... Unfortunately the server then crashed so we'll never know if we were going to finish them off or not...
Is the enjoyment of a few worth the irritation of many?
I remember a nice comeback as aliens, the marines had moved towards hour hive on caged, (i cant rem what it was called) they took the outside rp and fortified it, we couldnt possible take it back with the level of people defending, meanwhile gorges went all over the map securing rps (albiet un-defended ones), soon, the hive was under attack from many marines, needless to say the hive was destroyed, survivors included 2 gorges and a few skulks, the skulks were quick to fall so it was just 2 gorges going to two opposite hives, we both arrived saftely, we both erected hives in quick sucession, and before you know it we have 2 hives up, from just a few rps we went to having two hives, we quickly fortified the hives and proceded to defend and fortify our rps and take new ones, needless to say the marines were crushed soon at our original hive due to a great number of fades and me building towers outside/in hive for healing and extra backup against the turrets in there, thankfully they had no siege at this point so they were lambs to the slaughter, when that hive fell and became ours, the marines didnt stand a chance.
sure, this may have not been an almighty comeback, as we still had some rps up and wer were not completely destroyed, but we went from no hives and severely in danger of losing to being the victor, It was enjoyable at least.
I wont comment on 1.03 as I have no tried it, I'm just saying here a comeback on the aliens part i really enjoyed.

stand still? , not attack? , not build?
better yet: what exactaly will make this happen? If I run to the bathroom for a minute will I die?
