1.04

biomass · July 2003

I'm gonna miss the pro-noob players which went gorge (although someone already was gorging), builds a few OCs, dies, gorges again, complains why he can't fade when he has 54 res, goes lerk, dies again and then complains about the team just before quitting =)
and the second after the marines storm in with JP/HMG and kills everything in 2 seconds.

Beast · July 2003

I'm not going to miss nancy; mainly as I feel it is unbalanced, and can never be balanced as of the map being lost in a hard-drive crash (the main master file thing).
I'm going to slightly miss the jetpacks - yeah they were fun as marine, but not as fun on aliens, ie they were horrible for aliens :/

I'm not going to miss the non-fixed crouch hitbox issues, or the other problems. I'm going to miss babblers though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

RabidWeasel · July 2003

I honestly don't think I'm going to miss anything. As a low FPS player, I never benefitted from the fps bugs and so have always hated jetpacks, (I can barely get off the ground with them) I never lerked enough to get any milage out of bite, and I've never been a fan of Nancy (jetpack heaven <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> )

I'm looking forward to just about everything, especially no hive restrictions, better variety of upgrades, and the improved shotgun.

Nancy and babblers for my part

Oh oh! I know I know! I'm gonna miss the babblers. I was gonna do a video tribute to them, but then I didnt have enough footage to make one. Babblers are so rare to find. And I'll miss nancy. That was my first map. I'll also miss those games where you actually stood up to those mean fades as HA/HMG Lvl3 upgrades, and the game lasted three hours on tanith...pah, that really happened to me once. I ...I think I'm gonna cry. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

But, I'm not gonna keep all the old files. I'll just keep the installer just in case I get bored.

all the things i was starting to get quite good at: divebomb bite, blink, vent system on nancy, crouch bug

things i will not miss: divebomb bite, blink, vent system on nancy, crouch bug

ZERG · July 2003

Seriously, I will miss the 1.04 JPs. 2.0 may not be as bad as I think it might be, but Vets/PTs calling it a "jump pack" doesn't help. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

I think the nubs will still be out in force. They will still gorge and lerk and die, you just won't care as much. Or even worse... how about a guy going gorge, dropping sensories, reconnecting and going marines. That's the ultimate burn in 1.04. With no admin around you're screwed.

KaMiKaZe1 · July 2003

I will miss losing to infinite fuel jetpackers. I will miss being killed in a single leap as HA. I will miss not being able to build structures at quadruple the normal rate with the help of my flashlight.

Wait, wait, no I won't. Not one bit.

I sure as hell will miss Nancy. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

I for one will welcome the new skulk. Being a devoted skulk player (only play marines when there's no spot in the alien team), I've been accused of cheating sooo many times I can't even remember <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

With the new skulk, I'll probably spend my time defending myself than playing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Btw, did they upgrade or degrade the skulk after Z version?

JRA_Rendar · July 2003

I'll miss

- lerk bite: ah the lerk bite. By far the most fun i've had in any game EVER. when i was just a wee lil pubber i never knew the power of the lerk, but once i got into the clan scene and played against the crazy lerks of clans like ReD, HAM, and the old xoverzero, it was a whole new game to me. I learned alot from watching them, and dying to them.... alot.

ZupiCo · July 2003

The only thing I'll miss is the ability to use phase gates as alien, but I understand why it has changed.
I have had so many fun times phasing into the marines spawn, and wreaking havoc with a few dcs and ocs, sometimes turning the match.

And nancy. Definately nancy.

Zek · July 2003

I'm going to miss being the only Fade on the server that truly knows how to use Blink to maximum effect, and topping the scoreboard because of it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

ElvenThief · July 2003

One thing I'll miss the from 1.04 is probably the marine bunnyhop. Not that I used to to escape from skulk death, but the easy and fluidity it gave you just bouncing around the ready room. Very fun. Going from 2.0 to a 1.04 game, it's the very first thing you notice and you just loosen up and get a few bounces in <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I'll miss the comradery I got from my very first games of 1.00-1.04 commanding, simply because I can't have have the 2.0 virginity and I envy most of you that still possess it.
To back that up, I'll miss the awe and wonder I had originally playing the game, but I think that'll get replaced when I watch some guy jump on an NS server for the first time and just says "HOLY SHIZNIT" as a pack of skulks molest his body.

I miss experiencing the evolution of the game's most used strategies, although I know that the players will evolve and something new and interesting will come up.

Last, I think I'll miss trying to clear up the common misconceptions cause I think the help system is getting a little more clear.

To clear up a few misconceptions already stated in this thread:
CPU usage on the server is DOWN. Very much so, compared to 1.04. I think 2.0's currently a little above CS's and below DoD's CPU usage.
I don't think the Chambers have been shrunk at all... Although It's hard to compare. I know the Turrets most definitely have. Lemme double check...
Ok. They look a *little* smaller, but I can't really say they are. They're not noticable, but then PTing makes a lot of things not noticed when you're focusing on other changes.

Oh chuckle spam, how I will miss you. I shall also likely miss all the other alien sounds. They were never used for their intended purpose, but they were helpful in adding variety to chuckle spam.

Nancy, I will miss you. I wish you hadn't been lost in a crash, and could have been balanced. Some additional entrances to the hives, easier vent access, and nancy would have rocked once more.

Throwing myself suicidally at a target again and again, taking it down a few bars each time... I will miss you. Now that this gives res to marines, I will have to be more careful. I liked being a suicidal little pest.

DMS, burn and die.

Bring on 2.0!

So long as 1.04->2.0 is like Day of Defeats 1.3b->2.0 and not 3.1->1.0[Retail] I will be happy.

Yeah, I forgot to put that in :-( I love just...rushing marine spawn as a skulk, even though I know I'll die, it makes them stop building for a seconds, and slows them down.....such a great way to help out the Gorge while he goes about his business.

KI6 · July 2003

Farewell lerk bite. Farewell acid rocket at hive 1 (I'm assuming it was hive 1, since I can still acid rocket regardless of the second hive being destroyed). Farewell primal scream for Onos. Farewell babblers. Farewell old blink ability; I had to struggle my way to learn how to use you, but once I did, we had great times. Farewell bunny-hopping; I never really found a use for you though.

Farewell chuckle spam; you were always there to help me p*** off marines when cloaking was on. Farewell ns_nancy; I never found out where the food was kept in the mess hall and may a revision bring you back one day. Farewell non-capped air speed; you've saved my life many times as I flew my best to avoid hitting the walls and took sharp corners like a race car. Farewell old grenade launcher model; your resemblance of the OICW will truly be missed.

Farewell 1.0 LMG muzzle flashes and skulkbites; you will no longer foil my attempts to defend myself. And finally, farewell old ns_eclipse marine spawn; I enjoyed hanging around at the sides of the doors picking off skulk rushers and watching more names turn red. Natural Selection client side 1.0 and server side 1.04 (and 1.05 for those running third-party stuff), you will truly be missed. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
