This game is not for everyone.

2100 units sold to a community with ~1000 daily active players - that sounds like a pretty reasonable win, considering. Agree with a previous post that a $50,000 target was a bit out of reach with the low player base.
The low player bas… -
I think Hallucinations should be scrapped. The bot code can't possibly make them look and act like players, which will always be the fail point as far as I'm concerned. As OP states I'm also not a fan of the battle dynamic - it's abusive as hell.Yes, but can you be more specific?
Spoiler: as marines, dropping a medpack on a hive location will reveal whether or not there's a hive there.(Quote)
With respect, I'd get it if the drifter was hemmed in by multiple whips, or an armory... but a tunnel? Everything else can walk over it.A lot of this can be solved by giving a crosshair to skulks so people can actually aim their bites. Solved with a custom crosshair, but why not make it official for newbs who don't know about mods.I wouldn't do anything that alters the marine player's perception - we already have enough of those effects such as the Rupture effect.
What I would do is add some bot AI code to the created hallucinations. There is some pretty good code…Perhaps the solution is to lower player counts to 16p for the time being. :PDefinitely making up for the Alien nerfing of 260! Bravo.Re: Shade hive.
What if:
1) you only required 2 veils to get level 3 powers - ie., one veil = level 2 camo / aura
2) remove ink and make shades with a shade hive produce a passive bonus vs arcs. So instead of every fiv…I'm curious about the replay functionality. It does seem like an absolute necessity for comp play - and unless the in-game recording system has changed since ENSL S2, it was dodgy at best. It seems to me that the best place for any replay recordin…I see no good reason not to use Steam's beta functionality for each new release. That way if there's a catastrophic bug that makes the game unplayable, you can always roll back to the previous stable version.I'd just like to see a general revision on all the maps to stop gorge trolling: you know, find a nook that overlooks the marine base where they can't shoot you, evolve to gorge, and bile bomb the base with impunity. That and being able to place gorg…I think the objective should be to make the game "feel" fair. Right now, not so much when you have a skulk trying to attack a marine, and through the magic of strafe jumping the marine gets further and further away from the skulk. In this case, it …I should have added: congratulations on getting a fix out this week, and a changelog. Keep up the good work.See nothing in here regarding strafe jumping.I'm not sure why this is still under discussion, apparently stafejumping is already targetted for nerfing:
(Quote)I think the biggest impediment to an outdoor map would be Lerks and jetpacks. In the outdoors, there technically isn't a ceiling, so there's nothing to stop Lerks or JP Marines from flying around all over the place.(Quote)
You're correct; you need 4 biomass before an upgraded skulk has access to its leap ability. You do get an indication of this on the top left of your screen with the biomass scale: the available abilities are below the current bioma…From the point of view of immersiveness - ie., what "should" happen when you perform a certain action - there a bunch of things that happen in NS2 that seem to defy the laws of physics. Air control is a perfect example. When anything without wings o…A couple of points:
1) If there is one structure that governs alien upgrades (the "upgrade" structure, akin to the marine arms lab) you can bet that a popular marine strategy is going to be to run into the hive and kill it. Again and aga…@AceDude - I think some obvious tiers would be related to the alien life forms, other than the skulk. Shadow Gorge, Shadow Lerk, Shadow Fade, Shadow Onos... and perhaps El…Feels like a winner! No crashes, quick to load, and I had 60-80 fps throughout the game, even in entity-heavy lategame. I'm running an i3 with a GTX-550i and 8GB of RAM, so no speed demon, but definitely smoother now!Bravo UWE - the music alone made that trailer!I use a Logitech G400; I got it specifically so I could adjust the DPI on the mouse side. For NS2, it's set to 2000 dpi. In the game settings, Mouse Sensitivity is set to about 2/5 the way from the left (how's that for specific?).
