<!--coloro:grey--><span style="color:grey"><!--/coloro-->After the amazing information provided in the previous alien life form reveals, all us "fadies" are still patiently waiting for the reveal of our favorite, the Fade. While we wait for an announcement about the reveal, we should use this thread to collect and discuss all fade information currently officially released (no rumours). Of course, information about the fade reveal is the primary goal for now.

I'm really hoping fades get some good abilities in NS2 that provide a distinct advantage for its primary roles.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

    I'm really interested to see how they'll fit fade into the game. The original concept had some big flaws, but then again it also filled it's role extremely well as a whole different alien with proper pushing capability and totally different feel gameplay wise. Controlling the map as a fade was really satisfying at best on smaller games.

    And a monocle.

    On a semi serious note the fade for me was my least fav alien class (probably because I was pretty rubbish at it) so bring on the lerk please.

    I'm pretty sure "nymphs" are the glowy things that float around the hive.

    I hope they reveal the Fade last.

    I mean, I'm dieing to see it, but it seems to be the best class imo.

    they need to rig and animate, so i doubt they will do a fade reveil video this friday. i think the fade is quite tricky to animate right, as he has a very human like body but is not. but perhaps a screenshot? or lerk reveal? or.. a marine shooting on a gorge that dies :D And then a onos killing the marine :D

    Fade was sorta a love hate relationship for me, whereas the lerk was made of win and awesome. I'd much rather see a lerk then fade for the simple fact I loved them so much.

    I still wonder if they're packing a new unannounced new Alien Lifeform into the game! That would be sooo awesome. And balancing hell.

    I don't think it has to be such an enormous extra job to balance if it's impelemented right. It could be almost equally difficult to try to maintain balance with 5 lifeforms that lack some certain aspect. The art, design and implementation on the other hand...

    In my opinion, you should have options. You could go Lerk for support/harassment/scouting, or some other lifeform with same resource value but different attributes including skills, movement and health/armor. How nice wouldn't it be to have an early game bullet soaking tank? Something to complement both the Lerk and the Skulk.

    "Checking over the final Fade model.." Is that mean it is the Last model to do ?

    not neceseraly. this means that after some (many) versions of the fade model, they have the final one now. but from what we have seen they have more or less all the "creatures", so probably only a few buildings are left.

    True, but the "final version" of something, usually means it's finished. =p

  • TephraTephra Join Date: 2010-01-17 Member: 70193Members
    They are simply implying that they have made the decision that this is the final version of the fade model. They are positive this is the model they want to go forward with.
