  • I haven't been able to keep up with the daily changes to the mod; have you tried letting the aliens mix their upgrade structures yet? You can build three upgrade buildings per hive, any combination of them. So you can go two shell and one veil, or o…
  • Why don't people get it? You cannot force people to play the game. If they feel the current round is lost, they will stop playing.

    They want to stomp the enemy team so badly, but can't quite understand the other team doesn't enjoy being a…
  • The probability of random evenly dividing four skilled players is only 37.5%. Not even half of games with random enabled will be a fair fight. That is not a solution; that is making it worse.
  • Just put all that info on the map screen. It shouldn't be up in normal play, but you can check when you open your map.
  • I think one thing people are forgetting when talking about one shot kill weapons in other games is they had a weakness. They were usually only good at certain range. The sword had to be up close, so you would have to keep your dist…

  • If anything, they need to lift the restrictions on concede. I still see too many servers die because one side cant concede so they just quit. Nobody wants to waste five minutes in a game they have no chance of even putting up a fight.

    The…
  • (Quote) You might want to look at your list again, so much wrong.

    Shotgun has higher DPS, you listed its decreased range twice by also listing its accuracy, and shotgun has higher effective ammo, not less.

  • There aren't enough servers as is. Besides, rookie friendly means a server where rookies can learn from more experienced players, not that it is rookie only.

    I am sorry that playing the game isn't enough for you. I doubt this discussion can go anywhere, as you just don't approach games the same way as I do. Good day to you.
  • Its bad enough that you can only concede after 10 minutes. I have to find a new server way too often already because of stacked teams, I don't understand why everybody keeps suggesting making it worse.

    Because it does sometimes affect gameplay. Just before it was glitching Skulk movement. Its not officially supported code, they do not own it; it would just be an additional thing they would have to bug test with every release inst…
  • The Skinner box has ruined gaming :c

    Because concede doesn't exist right now? And we couldn't organize three Onos and some Gorge to power down the comm chair? Then its time for a new server.
  • (Quote) People don't like fighting against themselves. You spend 15 minutes building this forward position, suddenly scrambled and now you have to fight against your own base you established before.

    Also the RTS elements mean that one…
  • Lets say four players are good. They may be stacking all on one team. So you random. The key thing to remember is you aren't really mixing up 16 players, all that really matters is these 4 players get split. The chances of that are a lot lover than …
  • (Quote) If a single marine can take on three or four skulks by himself and survive, he has earned that armor, he deserves that armor. The problem wouldn't be with the armory at that point, its skulks being too weak.

    I been thinking structures should be the expendable part of the res. The upgrades are more important to keeping a competitive match. Those need to not go away/be easy to replace. Buildings should be investments in map control that …
  • I do not think at all that he should have that power. But the core design of the game gives him that power. His position gives him complete control of the marine teams resources and his actions can put the marine team into an unrecoverable position …

    I would like to discuss the intent of the change. Everything should have a plan and I wanted to know the plan behind this intended improvement. I am not knocking you for not including a complete list of intent, you are not the mod …
  • (Quote) Yes. That is what I said with holding noobs hands. You are forcing them to do the right thing instead of showing why it is better. I did not say this was bad, just that it was strange approach. The end result is definitely welcome. The se…

    This thread alone has 12 votes for 18 max, and only 4 advocating for 20+. It appears it is "commonly" agreed that 16-18 is the sweet spot.
  • Only a few times. The servers are usually empty though. I am not passing judgement if its effective; I am discussing its intent.
  • So, you want to hold noobs hands more. Strange way to do it.
    You want to encourage hit and run attacks by Aliens at the same time as getting marines to weld each other. This is contradictory. The window of welding is too low to create a signif…
  • Can somebody tell me the actual design goals that this change should achieve? I am getting a lot of mixed ideas here conflicting with each other.
  • Yay, 90 seconds of wasted time! So awsome. Its just like shooting a training dummy! Look how many kills you can get, must be such a great player.

  • (Quote) Nobody is dictating how to run the servers. They wanted the ability to easily find a server that meets their needs. Its kind of you to dictate that their desire to play the game unmodified is childish though.
  • (Quote) They deserved it, but a coin flip did decide it.
  • (Quote) Ya, I just love trying to join a server and wasting three minutes as the mods fail to download for the sixteenth time and having to start the search for a server all over again wondering if I can get one that isn't bloated with junk I did…
  • That big finish comes because both sides are still viable and in attack mode. Its because they are equally matches on their res, having equal upgrades and tech available, and could actually fight. So they did. When one side falls behind on their res…

    They like to use turrets to prevent a feed gate. The aliens can't easily focus on the gate with them shooting at them, giving the marines time to get through the gate to defend. You can see several fades get very low trying to take…
