(Quote) If marines had a SUPPORT class - which is what the gorge is - then I'd be fine with marines buying phase gates at 10 res a pop if that meant they could be dropping up to three 360 degree coverage sentries that require no batteries and for…
-
(Quote) Why? The observatory is a whole other animal - and not just a vehicle for phase tech research. If they unlocked phase tech from the observatory the marines would STILL buy it.
The only reason I can see for the 30 t-res cost … -
(Quote) Gorge tunnels are basically alien phase gates, so I don't see why aliens should pay more than marines pay for the same kind of mobility. I'd be all for seeing the research cost cut down to 15 res like phase tech is. (research time stays…

Sorry I have to disagree with you strofix. This is a TEAM game. It's why they have a concede vote to let the TEAM decide whether to end the game. If a commander wants to quit, the disconnect button is only a couple clicks away.

I think the better question is... where does the marine's HEALTH go? Yeah you're inside a huge hunk of armor, but as soon as you get in your 100 health vanishes.

(Quote) I'll address this narrow point, since I was clear above about speaking when people aren't present.
Charlie and the team consider *everything*. I've had a couple ideas integrated into the game, and I'm not a dev. People think… -
(Quote) No, I just find it's a bit insulting to the dev team to treat one person like he is the only one developing the game. Just because you may not see word from any on the other devs on here, doesn't mean they are sitting on their hands.
(Quote) With all due respect to Sewlek, he's personally making a mod, he's not redeveloping the game for UWE. Some people seem to think that the development team at UWE has all gone home and this mod represents the future of NS2. (IIRC Sewlek …(Quote) I haven't looked to see where this is coming from, but yes you are correct. My contract prohibits me from working for anyone else - even on a volunteer basis. If NS2 was free I could have probably applied for an exemption. (It was why …This is a longshot, but just out of curiosity, is your mouse plugged into a hub? (particularly a cheap one?) If so, try connecting directly to a backpanel I/O port. (I've known bad hubs to cause all sorts of problems.)
Also, have you t…This is really simple...
So long as there is ONE ACTIVE IP built somewhere on the map, then any other IP can be recycled at whim.
The last IP (regardless of location) is not recyclable. This prevents abuse since extra IPs ca…(Quote) I tend to agree here. I don't think the outcome of any particular encounter should be defined by the location of the players involved. Just because a skulk gets a jump on a marine shouldn't mean the marine will die in 100% of cases. Wh…I like the idea of 24 player servers, not because it's balanced (since right not it's not) but because they are VERY good servers for new players to play on.
Yeah people may disagree since they feel you don't 'learn much' on those server…(Quote) Hey, I have it under good authority that the late game slideshow was meant to be a feature.
(Quote) Again, I don't want to make a big deal about a small point, but the game is not *designed* to field 12 players total. Is the game playable and relatively balanced at that level? Of course. However, the prime balance point is 8v8. Peri…(Quote) Actually, that isn't fully accurate.
NS2 is balanced for 8 player teams +/- 2 players. You can see this by the fact of the hundreds of official servers that were up on the weekend, not ONE was 6v6. Every single one w…(Quote) Well to be fair, whips are not alien sentries, that would be hydras - and hydras don't need infestation. Whips are more like ARCs. However, as I was saying before, if there are power nodes that are in bad spots - that allow sniping fro…(Quote) You can snipe cysts now, very easy.
Let's do some pretend. Let's give the alien power cyst the same health and armor as the marine one.
2000 health and 1000 armor.
A marine LMG does normal damage, so t…Steam won't ever fix this, and I'll tell you why...
When you buy a four-pack, the cost is 4 copies for the price of 3. If a person who owned the game could buy another 4-pack, they could theoretically sell off the 4 copies for a price l…Head over to this subforum for issues like that...Just a tip for helping new commanders. Use the 'ping map' command on res nodes to get him to drop an extractor. Since the icon will show when he looks at the area, it's a fast way to help him learn how to drop them. Quite often if you say to a co…(Quote) Look for a server called "The Angry Gorge".
I've actually totally stripped the game out and re-installed about 6 times over the past couple months. I have no mods. Got rid of them a few re-installs ago. I just re-installed last night, given that this was a new build, and still no change.I totally stripped/uninstalled the game and then reinstalled. Main menu was fine before playing a game, but after playing a game my main menu is corrupted and my server browser and such is too.(Quote) Let's compare. (I'll stick to MACs since they are both marine units)
MAC cost? 5 res
ARC cost? 15 res
MAC build time? 5 seconds
ARC build time? 10 seconds
MAC research cost? 10 res for …There is a limit on ARCs, they call them 'extractors'. Kill off the extractors and they won't be able to afford them.(Quote) It would be better to have aliens (skulks) kill the node first, since if the commander can just attack by putting a cyst on top, then marines would never be able to leave a room unattended. Power nodes should not be socketed unless it is…Perhaps a more detailed example would be helpful...
In the current system, when the game starts you have a hive with some nearby cysts. Those cysts do NOT occupy the entire hive room, and certainly don't occupy all of the areas that the…(Quote) You beat be to it Torak. Yeah you won't be seeing whitelisted mods.
What we really need is a way to see WHAT the mod does. Many people assume the worst, when the mod may be something minor.
(Quote) Well that's a whole other issue, and yeah I agree with you in part. However, there are still plenty of modded servers (like KKG) that are filled constantly. What they need is a way for a person to see what kind of mod the server has bef…
