<div class="IPBDescription">it's like it was waiting for the year 2000</div>A big, nice, round number is coming up, will there be anything grand?
Like DI or exo? *hoping!!!*
Would be anticlimactic if it had to be a hotfix 199 :P

    We'll be getting more Hive 2-3 abilities soon (like Fade Shadow-Step?). To be fair, B194 was Gorilla, not a nice round number but still awesome :D

    I'd be cool if we could get some keys to invite friends to the beta. I think the game is very fun to play right now, I would like to invite a few people. I still think it should be closed beta however.

    Man, exo would be killer. I think that's what is missing to make Arcs useful. You really need to be able to stand around and soak of damaged to protect those little buggers...

    On the same topic, Arcs need range and damage buffs I think. I've seen 4 of them firing into a base and not accomplishing much :/

    That's because their targeting is glitched at the moment; ARCs target eggs as buildings, so they tend to have trouble hitting anything vital when you point them at a hive.

    The fade shadow step might be the double tap dash/quick blink which was discussed in the previous twitter thread that was accidentally deleted. If there was one ability I'd love to see a return of, it'd be acid rockets.

    I'd settle for a sound system/sound occlusion system that isn't terribly broken.

    I hope it comes out soon and recovers the damage of b199, so we can start playing gathers and matches again.

    Darn you GDC, darn you and the nerdgasms you garner!

    But yeah, more time on 200 = more bugs squashed (usually). Can't wait for new Alien Vision :)

    thought of something i REALLY want: bulletholes (decals), preferably both on environment AND characters! (swipe/bite -marks on the marines)
    something i want even MORE: Overgrowth style bleeding!!! THAT would be INSANELY cool!

    early version (per-triangle)
