Devour

<div class="IPBDescription">screw the devour stuff?</div> i think it's very disgusting for the ns team to implement the devour thing. it's already scary seeing a fade slashing it's claws at marines already, now you want to see an onos truely eating you up (think of all that human blood)...

i may be wrong but until then, i think the ns team implemeting the devouring ability for the onos is a very disgusting mistake.

then again, maybe i still have so called "virgin-eyes"

    I laughed long and hard when I read this post. Then, I realized you might be serious <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> , so I laughed long and hard yet again.

    No gore isn't enough? Now no eating of human flesh?! C'mon, you think the violence is ok, but not that kind? I must laugh yet again my friend, long and hard. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The aliens are carnivorous...Ofcourse they would eat a yummy marine...

    How many times have you seen people say

    "Mmm, tastes like beef"

    or

    "You're tasty"

    Whenever an alien kills a marine...

    personally i was hoping the marine hangs out the onos mouth and there is a cute chew animation

    I agree with above posts (besides the first). The only gore so far is random skulk parts on some servers, and maybe some green goo that could be considered blood. Goodness, if the IDEA of being killed by an alien makes you queasy, maybe you should find another mod. Try vampire slayer, that one creeps even me out <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    [has brilliant idea]
    lets all wait for v 1.1 to come out and then pass judgment
    [/brilliant idea]

    But where's the fun in that?

    I'd rather we all make fools of ourselves assuming things before they happen...Then tapping our fingers on the desk waiting for 1.1. Only harmless banter.

    Heheh

    Note: I am not making fun of Enemy at the Gates.

    Personally myself, I am not a fan of this new "Devour" ability. I feel that it will be very unfair for the Marines. Especially the Stun technique that is added. Webs is strong enough, and if the Stun (stomp) technique effects JP people when they are airborn...then I'm probably leaving NS. I just feel that it's an unfair and TOO much of an advantage for the alien team. I guarantee you that people will start binding keys to "kill." Or Marines will just be pressing f4 5x more often. Bad...VERY bad choice of a new skill to add in Flayra. But that's my 2 cents..so I guess we'll have to wait and see until the patch is released.

    Farewell

    How is it worse than parasite and primal scream? Seriously. I think these changes are more appropriate and a little fun. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Flayra said that JPers will be the official counter to the Onos so don't expect the stun to work on them in mid-flight.

    Best Counter to Onos Devour will now be F4 LOL.

    Hmm..would be nice if you had mines on you..and you got devoured..that you would be able to place mines inside the gut of the Onos..it will kill the Onos instantly, but at the same time..kill the marine..even with full HP/AP...or maybe a slight percentage on living for the marine.

    I can imagine, if they kill themselves inside the belly of the Onos Flayra can make it count as a kill by the Onos, (or disable 'kill' or 'f4' as others have mentioned) AND the Onos can devour someone else. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I doubt stomp will effect JPs.......remember that they said JPs will be the official onos counter

    so its probably just on the ground.......basicallt its like old paralysis but only works on ground ......thats my guess at least

    you can paralyse jetpackers now anyway with onos.

    I'm not swayed by any arguments I've yet heard against Devour. It has been very thoroughly discussed already and TBH it is going to pwn j00 all.

    2 more points.

    1) Paralyse/Stun will not <i>effect</i> jetpackers. It might however <i>affect</i> them.

    2) What about hive abilities. Devour is not likely to be available at one hive, so the aliens will still have to gain 2 or 3 hives to be able to use it, even though onos will be "available" at first hive.


    Chill my friends, everything will be fine and dandy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i don't think i saw anything about the much debated all aliens at first hive thing in the changelog, but changelogs aren't final especially if 1.1 hasn't gone into playtesting yet, but I wouldn't expect a major change like that not to be in the log.

    Remember that scene in Men In Black. Where Tommy Lee Jones (Forgot the character name) is eaten by that big alien bug...Then he blasts his way out of its stomache...Wouldn't it be cool if...

    I seriously played on a server once where an Onos player had aimbot and was using paralyze. Imagine how annoying THAT was. One Onos, paralyzing 4 marines at once who ran out of ammo shooting at the carapaced Onos with 8 D chambers behind him and a gorge comes up and heal sprays you all to death. How did I know he had aimbot? We all rushed in at once and THEN the Onos comes out and paralyzes us all in about a half a second.

    I'm looking forward to stun <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    My Guess is that Flayra is trying to make the onos a not so powerful killing machine at 1 hive.

    The onos will have to stun+devour to kill a marine, it takes a bit of time to devour them before he can get another one.

    That is if they are sticking with the plan to try out all aliens available at 1 hive.

    god i have a strong feeling i'm gonna hate ns now.

    i mean, i would personally shoot the player who devours "ME."

    god, think of the sickness.

    or am i just panicing for no reasons?

    I think you need to see the "Alien" movies. Then you need to see "Dreamcatcher". Then you need to see "The Ring". Then move to the US. Then tell me what's gross and disgusting. It certainly won't be a pixalated beast that largely resembles an elephant to the point n00bs mix up the two.

    Tell me you're joking or something 'cause I'm starting to think you're one of those freaks of nature from the CAP site...

    For those of you who don't know what CAP is or just like to torture yourself by reading the most moronic site in the history of man --- <a href='http://www.capalert.com' target='_blank'>http://www.capalert.com</a>

    Actually I think a charging Onos is much much more bloodier than an onos eating a lone marine.

    I mean really.. think of a roaring Onos running at 60+MPH smashing down turrets, quickly smashing a light armor LMG marine under his feet as he's thrusting his horn into the nearest heavy armor marine just to lift him up and throw him across the room and then ram into a command chair so hard the commander inside it gets dizzy.

    It can't get much more disgusting man <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
