<div class="IPBDescription">Old vs New</div> What do you pts think about the new metabolize vs the old one. To me the old one seemed to have alot more depth than just a usable regen. The new one seems abit, I dunno, boring. I mean the fade is supposed to be the king of cool abilities, blink is awesome, and metabolize seemed to be the great thing. But now, its just so plain...

    Yeah it would have been intresting to see how the other metabolize would have worked out.

    Hrmmm...I've seen neither. I think I'll still say that the new is better. Yep. I love that new metabolize <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Hasn't the only change been in the fact that with the 'old', you had to stand still and with the 'new' you can run around? I wish i was a PT. Fo' sho.

    Well they are both perfectly fine abilities, I just thought the Utwig style ability sounded abit more interesting than a regen.

    The old one sounded much more interesting, but realistically the new one is probably more useful...

    Bravo Monse!

    Metabolize is going to make the fade a joy.
    BLINK
    swipe up marine base
    *nearly dead*
    metabolize

    Although I haven't seen either in action, the original "Utwig" metabolize sounded interesting and challenging, whereas the new "Selfheal" does not. In fact it now sounds like a redundant and uninspired clone of the regeneration evolution.

    I agre with Twex...
    this "new" metabolize seams only to be a extra regen ability for the fade, if I'm not mistaken flayra have said that he is not happy with the current one.(not quite sure)
    But as most of us I havent tried 1.1 yet so I shouldn't complain about it.

    btw when you use metabolize now, you stand in place, and you have to use it repeatedly if you are that much more closer to death...so its more like

    SWIPE up base
    *blink*
    *blink*
    metabolize
    (repeat)
    *blink*
    SWIPE up base

    its actually pretty useful, just not as exciting sounding as the "old" metabolize was in theory

    Oh man! Matchhead finally got on the forums! Hi Matchhead!

    Now to stay on topic, I admit utwig metabolize definitely sounds cooler and more skill based than 'healing' metabolize. But I'm not a PT or a vet so I have no idea. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I just wanted to say hi to Matchhead. Matchhead, you pwn!

    utwig based meta is hella more cool than just a simple regen, which the fades already can get from upgrade chambers. but then now you have cara fades that can also self heal, which is a still a force to be reckoned with
