Does FPS have any link to this, it may seem a strange question but I remember on an old quake based engine that if you set the FPS to a certain level there was a mathamatical increase in the speed gained by Strafe jumping bunny hopping and circle ju…

Now I understand a little better this actually makes alot of sense. Thanks :P

Wow
Monumental misunderstanding of the personal res on my part. I assumed some p res was from kills.
I apologise for my stupidity.
But really .. you dont get any res for kills.. thats kinda depressing to me. So th… -
In honesty I agree with Venatos, we all complain about unfair games, then you complain about a fair game where the teams are obviously evenly balanced. Whether thats because everyones a noob or everyones good it doesnt matter.
The best g… -

If thats the case then you should be able to get more res from doing support role as a skulk. The whole point is that once your a skulk with the whole marine team as jetpack/exo etc. You cant get res.
My opinion is that… -

But then surely you need a damage boost to make encounters from an alien perspective fair. The bonus you get is speed, a carapace or sneaking as phantom / leap.
Speed helps close the gap between you and the marine, but … -

Possibly but then id rather add a mechanic which enhances only certain aspects to balance than nerf something. I find the slower speed walking backwards as bad. If they were to do the same thing to jumping I feel it would hurt game… -

2 bites will probably take at least 1 second, swap to another skill +fire and hit a moving jetpack target in 1 second. Im scheptical that this could be done under 2 seconds. But i appreciate your input.
Leap does help b… -

Your argument makes no real sense. If he hears you, you wouldnt get the damage anyway .. your running or doing something that would negate the bonus anyway.
The point is your either shift walking up on a sta… -

Explain to me how phantom works then? If you bite you wont go invisible for a while there is obviously a mechanic this could link in to that changes the time until the next possible "sneak attack" if you run, you are also visible a… -

This is a good point. How frustrating is it as an alien to get instagibbed when he has made it all the way to the other side of the map.
Your not actually saying why you feel the original idea wouldnt work however?

I dont agree, but I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I think if your silly enough to be ambushed you dont deserve the chance to escape and float up and shoot the person that ambushed you. 3-4 bites with a rin either hopping…(Quote)
Again I cant help but feel you are misinterpreting the mechanic. This isnt something where someone will get lagged and suddenly get gibbed. This is only damage where someone is actually ambushed.
If your ambushed my opi…Well the same way that phantom now works... you dont suddenly disappear because you stop in front of a marine. (This is one example. There are several ways to impliment this type of mechanic.)
Then you would get the commander to ping and…(Quote)
Your still saying its a guarenteed boost. It shouldnt be if marines are working together and looking around. The only time this would boost the damage is if you manage to ambush someone. If you manage to ambush someone either they …Im not sure I agree with the aliens already having an advantage. I play alien enough to know that chasing jetpack / shotgun people is difficult as a skulk if most of your team are skulk you start to get rolled.
I actually agree about the…Just put a middle value for infestation. Minimal if you run an old pc. Max if you want infestation and vines etc and have the computer to run it. And the middle value "medium infestation" for what it currently is.
Just my 2cI love this as a skulk, and I agree I rarely see it first which is a shame. Perhaps if we boost the ability a fraction ..

Personally I think the Weldable vents are a great idea. Destroyable from the weld side only. The other stuff I think are contentious and possibly balance affecting.
The only argument is that you have mines you can use to stop access. I t…(Quote)
This ^ comment is a little silly (no offense).
