Thanks for the mention in the blogpost

You can test it as well anytime you want using the public beta branch on steam. -
Current balance numbers show quite good balance, slightly in marines favor for 299, but not too much. We will see if changes like focus give aliens a small boost again

I'm sure some technical person can correct me, but:
Wouldn't it have been possible for the compmod to make a "total conversion" of ns2? Meaning, the compmod would have the complete copy of the ns2 lua code, making it independant on any c… -

I do not think its the role of UWE to run a competitive league.
What UWE does on the other hand is to support the competitive community as well as it can. This includes a special steam branch for competitive players for a stable environm… -
That might be the old clog bug? But that should disapear when you go out of the room (or 2 rooms away) and come back. did that happen?

A special branch of ns2 has been created about a month ago, so that the nsl can play their season without interupts. You can activate it in steam at the same place that you activate the beta branch. In theory that would be the perf… -
Agreed, this is a plus. It really helps players to understand the mechanics of the game, instead of relying on hidden values.
Does it change the gameplay? Yes. But i dont think thats a bad thing.
As remi also mentioned, balance seems not… -
I would love to see some icon for every mod in the gamemode tab bar. But i understand that might be complicated for various reasons.
In general i think the most important part is to improve the game mode tab. It has already improved with… -
So after more playing, i really like the addition of the healthbars. It really helps me to understand whats going on, track the target etc. In short, it makes the game much more fun for me.
I would love to see the balance numbers to see … -
Keep in mind, that yes, this change might change balance somewhat as well as how you play and do strategic decisions. But not all change is bad. The question is, does it make the game better or worse?
I need more testing, but from my ini… -
Just under the nickname textbox ingame in the settings, you see an option that allows you to disable syncing the steam and ingame name.

I think every marine should be able to define his particular password for the exo using the flashlight.
You just have to make sure nobody sees you when you flash your exo, otherwise they could copy the password.
But i think it woul… -

You can always check your logfile in %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/
Thats slightly easier than to make a screenshot
Comp players already turn off all sorts of particles, i don't see why it would be any different in that case. So this is really not a reason to introduce additional options. I understand that pub and comp players have different requirements, but ns2…(Quote)
Because it would create an unfair advantage for those that use that toggle, making it pretty much mandatory. Also creating options for everything possible in the game is a support nightmare, its just not maintanable. Imho NS2 alrea…Could this be extended to other lifeforms, as well as marines? I always wanted a mode like that to train basic marine vs skulk. The skulk bots are reasonably good, so that should work out?Look, i was not a big fan in the beginning, probably for irrational reasons partially.
Having played with it, tested it and seen it evolve, i must say i really really like it now.
Its much clearer now when you are in alien te…This is interesting. There weren't any noticeable linux changes for that patch. But sometimes some changes have unintended sideeffects.
But just to be sure, are you sure you didn't by chance update your gpu drivers or some other critical part …(Quote) Yes thats it, less confusing for new players to say ranked instead of white listed. but its the same thing
I dont think the idea is to predict the exact outcome of a match. The idea of the team shuffle/balancing is to have, on average, more balanced games. Thats all.Well thats a quality thread if i have ever seen one keep it going!
