The argument that RFK would help a losing team doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't the winning team would benefit from RFK more than the losing team? Simply because they have map control and so they can dictate when fights happen or don't happen? It …

Not sure if prolonging the early game is even desired by the devs (given there is the biggest danger of snowballing then), but I think you could try less starting res. Starting res are really plenty right now.

- The problem with the Cystem is that it starts the cyst chain from the nearest cyst, not the nearest connected cyst. This makes it really annoying to repair an interrupted cyst chain. You try to place a cyst to fix the chai…

In this thread: how to make your Alien comm go Shade Hive first (for silence upgrade, because that works for Babblers too) :P

(Quote) I hated autobalance when the game was released.
Then I realized how great it is.
Not because it directly balances the games (it doesn't), but because it punishes the winning team when teams are overly imbalanced.

You can finally concede while dead!

(Quote) Yes you're right, I always look at the first number. So much for hoping this overpriced **** would get cheaper
Hidden balance change: Shifts and Shades now cost only 10 res.Looking forward to Gorges healing and doing damage with their heal spray, at the same time!
On to the 32 man UK server to test how friendly fire affects pubs! :PSeriously, I noticed some brick Skulk lately.
Some bites miss even when they are centered. It is as if you are too far away from a Marine, even if you are ON him sometimes. Might be related to server performance/lag as well.286 MB means there are map changes. Hopefully Docking has some fixes (left Generator entrance *cough cough*).
Also, I'm betting 10 babblers on a hotfix in the next few days, who is with me?(Quote) This is pretty good. Instead of some kind of bio-xxx word play or complicated term like "catalysis", just a nice, understandable, and pleasant title.
I believe the wiki is hopelessly outdated, the 2 Hive/CC requirements were there in earlier versions though.
And you're right, Whips move too

(Quote) This is great. Better than Biomass, and it implies all the right things. Also it's an adjective like Gorgeous was.
Tip #1 for green Commanders: don't.
On a serious note, this is a well intended article and you've obviously put quite some effort into it. Nice!
While the headlines/bullet points are excellent and correctly tell what is…How about Biomass?
Sounds cool and fits the balance mod as well as the Biodome theme, and implies NS2 has a lot of content now.
Or NS2: Gorgeous II: Electric BoogalooHello, new player
Just keep in mind, while this guide is certainly nice, some things are outdated because the game (an…(Quote)
This is true.
People will give any kind of excuses and advice, but ignore the actual reality of pub games.
L2P is not and has never been a valid argument for game design issues people have after they get out of the rook…If you need a very simple map to look at things, you can load the main menu background - it's a map as well (menu.level).Oh dear, these excuses again.
Q: But what am I supposed to do? I want to have fun playing too!
A: The other 15 people on the server don't care.
Q: Rookies can't get better when they don't get pubstomped!!!
A: Rook…(Quote) The 2/10 players aren't a problem for the others as the 25/2 players are.
Also, they can do other things (like harass RTs) where their KDR matters less*, so it's less of a problem for themselves too.
Finally, there are legitim…(Vote)kick 25/2 KDR players, especially when they go Fade or SG JP.
Solves 90% of all balance problems. Should be done automatically by the server. Certainly "simple and easy to implement".
You know it's true. %-(I think the problem is that UWE have too few people for a game of this ambition.
The (certainly hard-working) devs are primarily focused on things that sell more copies, aka Content Updates, Female Marine, new maps, weapons, performance,…For my liking, the current shelved version is a bit too complicated and arbitrary. The old thing, while being a placeholder, had a more memorable layout, because it was simple. The new thing is just not so good, I guess. Sorry, hard to describeI would not change the weapon drop system. It's pretty logical and intuitive: someone drops a weapon, anyone can pick it up. Like in real life. There's nothing wrong with that.
[ If anything, I'd remove the weapon auto destruction compl…(Quote) Less commitment would mean doing nothing. The real problem is, as Onos, you can't really engage anything except a lone Marine or lone, surprised single Exo. Everything else, you will be focused down and die (with Gorge, without Gorge, doe…(Quote) This is not a mentality issue, it is a game design issue.
You can't make a game in which keeping your lifeform alive is the most important thing to do, and then suddenly expect people to throw their lifeforms away for a chanceIn the center, the thing on the ceiling south of the RT is annoying in Comm view, remove it.
Other than that this is a really nicely working map.
I suggest removing the TP platform/glass thing in Lobby and just make it flat. It jus…I think both mappers "explaining" their map and feedback posts are inferior to people just playing the map and mappers watching them or playing with them. Especially in the later stages when the layout is generally final, and the finer details are u…
