This will only happen if Blink becomes nearly free, which is never.
Fades are supposed to move fast and be hard to hit. The price they have to pay is energy, and if they spend all of it, they risk having to walk away from the… -
I also find it interesting that nobody complained about exos, which also tend to rack up the kills. I was votekicked out of a server twice because my railgun was destroying groundskulks and straightlerks/sentrylerks left and right.

Maybe he's just having bad luck in pubs and venting his frustration here. Maybe it's because in the games he played marines spent a lot of res on useless sentries and phase gates everywhere and left teching for later. I don't know.… -
No. Just no.

Then the whole marine team is not competent enough to deal with them. All it takes is shotguns, good aiming and teamwork. Eventually you will take down one, then another, then the next one, until all of them are dead or you get exo… -

- Pick the marine welding the exos.

If you don't want player skill to be factored into the units, go play a pure RTS like StarCraft. Even then, you'll find that the most skilled "commander" will win.
If you don't want player skill to be factored in at all, go play jokenpo.… -

Why don't you try using NumPad1 and NumPad2 for j1 and j2?
I also use NumPad0 for spectate, and NumPad9 to … -

You've never seen a Xenocide rush, have you? Tons of fun (if you're on the alien side)

For killing a Fade, you absolutely need aim, game experience and tech. Everything else is optional but greatly helpful.
People have already talked about the res costs. Fades are 40 + 5 for each upgrade. Shotguns are 20.… -

I can attest to that. There were points where the Fade had as little as 230 hp / 20 armor (can't remember exact numbers, but it was very low), and it was awful. So bad, in fact, that everyone who knew about it either went Le… -
Ok, here's a suggestion: try removing EMP for a while to see what happens, then rebalance accordingly. If that just doesn't work, then fine, leave EMP in, but don't make it any more powerful than it is right now. If you do want it to be more powerfu…

I don't like EMP the way it is right now. Suggesting changes to make it even better is something I cannot understand.
A button that nearly disables all aliens around the marine without even requiring to aim is already a bit too easy. Why… -

Let me rephrase that:
1) why power node?
Seriously, all that does is makes noobs waste their time attacking something that provides a very short period of darkness. Even if they gave a few XP it would still… -
I could help Jibrail, depending on the time.

Agreed.
30 damage per tick on the flamethrower is excessive. Maybe 20 or 25? -
That could work too, but what if he wanted to teach someone how to command?
I know it could get boring, but that's something the mentor should be willing to do. Teaching is not necessarily fun, unless you make it fun. -
Waiting for the iminent Quaxy Onos hopping video...

I suggested some time ago a coach system where veterans would join a team as a coach and indirectly help the team with hints, tips and directions instead of directly by playing the game. Maybe that to go along with the mentor system would help?
-
Most marine wins are due to JP/GLs with cover from exos in overtime, at least from my experience this weekend. Not even a couple of sneaky Onos, gorges and skulks were fast enough to kill the marine base in time.

Yeah, well... I mean, it's a lot better than before where marines would win the moment they got flamethrowers/GLs/exos. Right now there are two problems: near-invincible fades and GLs destroying hives crazy fast. -
Balance is looking a lot better now. Good job guys!

The best balance mod ever!

Nanoshield is now a large area of effect bubble that reduces incoming damage to all affected targets by 90%. Lasts 30 seconds and clings to marines after they leave the bubble until it's ove… -
So they finally nerfed Firebats. That thing was so op.

Good job 1984! I'll be playing it as soon as I have time. This week will be busier than usual for me.

I was on the alien side on another game where we literally rushed xenocide. We kept bombing their base over and over with no upgrades until everything was destroyed, including the command station. Lots of fun when you're on the ali… -
Thanks for clearing that up Gauss. I too dislike walking into e-peen territory, as it only leads to pointless arguments like this. I'm just looking for some well-deserved respect, which pat will get from me as soon as I recognize him. Stating that y…

Fade. No big surprise.
As for marines, either the shotgun or the flamethrower. -
What's your in-game name? These are some pretty bold statements you're making there. I know I'm far from the best, but I have yet to see someone as godly as you claim to be.

Crags heal up to 3 targets and each target can be healed by one crag only.
