  • Unknown Worlds did a few things I disliked and a few I question with this game design but the one big factor that sent this game into its death spiral was releasing it with poor performance. I purchased 3 or 4 (it's been so long I forget) copies of …
  • Look, I don't play this game, I couldn't pin down one reason why either. Yet I still love it. Its a start-up page in my browser, and I look at it every day. That said, my concern here is trying to make something big, like a World Championship, out o…
  • I am excited to be playing Last Stand again!

    The question here is whether contaminate won you the game, or the actual teamwork that followed. I can take an educated guess that the comm announced his plan, and several people were on board. Maybe the teamwork won? Just a thoug…

    In a general sense yes this is correct. But there are times when certain events take priority over all others, as veterans we know this, but as rookies we will not. The sheer presence of a player, whether a good shot or not, is usu…

    Supposed to move? That's highly subjective. Again, trying to recall my post in the BT thread (too lazy to search), it begs to question whether or not a quadraped would indeed move by hopping, save for an actual rabbit. Given they …

    In my mind the system rework was because the original system was wonky and difficult to use, except for the most diehard players. Since we aren't all diehard players, diehard in the sense of majority of playtime invested in this ga…

    I'm pretty sure its been talked about ad nauseam over at http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/128755/sewleks-balance-mod/p1
  • I haven't got to play the mod recently, but from what I gather weapon and armor upgrades are tied to CC amount. I want to say, if true, I Absolutely love this. I suggested this to my inner circle of friends/old teammates awhile back and am very exci…

    The reason you don't see power nodes getting killed is because in a small game is the time required to kill it is astronomical with all things considered. Aside from that there is really no reason to kill it save for a marine base.…
  • The mods *Should* auto download and be installed. Popular mods are Combat, NS2:C (Classic, they recreate NS1's feel), and a couple of others I forgot the name of (Forsaken IIRC?). Oh and dont forget the NS2_BT, which is the balance test mod put out …

    Thanks.

    Is the sound looped for anyone else? In the 10-13 minute range, right when they start talking....?

    Excellent! (both the post and the pipeline changes)

    To expand on this with my own thoughts:

    Nano always seems to be the obvious choice and not really a choice at all. With the changes it further solidifies t…
  • I really like the idea of making medkits a heal over time.

    RE: Nano-shield - For anyone who played League of Legends we saw the same thing with Kayle's Ultimate (an invincibility.) I mention that because they (Riot) nerfed the ski…

    On the other side of the fence, there could just be proper reserved slot support.
  • As I said before in this exact topic, maybe he(or she) just wants to be comfortable while playing and it isn't about winning or losing.
  • I don't think steam lets you buy a 4 pack to give 4 away in the event you own it already. You would take one for yourself usually. Best you can do is paypal your buddy the money and have him buy it. (This is speculation)

    Why not just hide the teams until you get into the game; Sure people will F4 but if they are too slow they won't be able to join regardless.

    I'd like you try to organize a 15-20 man team regularly. Dare I use WoW as evidence that 40 man raids were difficult to consistently do without a roster of 40 and then back ups of ~40. Translate that to NS and now we'd need rosters…
  • In regards to the offtopic mines, I meant it more that mines are severely underused in public games. Mines are super strong, until 2 hives.

    carry on.

  • yay for phone technology double post

  • @savant you speak of mines like they are not the first thing researched in near every match. (Non pub tomfoolery)

    I think mandatory is a strong word, and like I said, the cost of a welder can be modified from 0-infinity. If you're worried about cost effectiveness look beyond that to when they ARE cost effective.

    Within the realm of…
  • This topic could cause a civil war I reckon; my how it has exploded!

    As a proponent of removing armor repair from the armories I would like to say that the EXO's can only be healed by a welder, as we are well aware. Yet when they hit the…
  • People keep bringing up this limitation of marine jumping and I have yet to experience it in combat. If this limit exists (i assume it does but i havent explicitly sought to test it out) maybe it should be revaluated because it obviously is not work…

    Don't we already have aiming and tracking to take care of with bites?
  • I'd like to preface this by saying please read and take some time to think about what I am saying. I will do my best to articulate my thoughts.

    I feel it's best to start with a critical question: what is the role of the skulk? Is it an a…
  • Gorge tunnels are best used in mid and late game. They offer two distinct advantages of which one you've touched on. First is the defense on two fronts is fantastic for aliens. Second would be the offensive capability of them. Allowing aliens to get…
  • I feel welder are highly underrated, especially by several of you in this thread. Think two man pressure teams taking and holding a natural rt expansion. The welder no longer allows them to be two shot, which can be the make or break. The ability to…
