    The new menu is pretty slick. Is it possible to have windowed mode with no border, without using menumod?

    Don't have time to play now but I really like the new menu. It has a sexy feel to it. Also patch notes please. :)

    Can't arrange server results by player count or anything...kinda annoying but not a big deal cos there aren't so many to choose from.

    Why do the main menu options have numbers by them? I tried pressing the respective numbers but it doesn't do anything.

    So anything happen... with lerk spikes? =/ Seems like you really gotta pump marines full of them.

    Phantasm is a wholly unnecessary, clunky mechanic that will waste a lot of time that could go to other things. Quote this if you're down~

    you have to click the filter you want then refresh that worked for me

    Aliens stand a chance of stopping marines killing their RTs now - yay

    Gorge cant make cysts anymore?

    Still only 3 hydras!! boo

    Infestation spread is nice, the menu looks awesome and performance is good :) I was expecting more graphic options now, i guess that will be in the next patch. Good job!

    Lot of silly stuff (((

    Performance was improved more than slightly, big ++
  • peregrinusperegrinus Join Date: 2010-07-16 Member: 72445Members
    Aliens still guaranteed a win if they save for a few Onos

    Drifters cause a lot of lag when theres a bunch of em

    Performance got worse for me, the game freezes for a couple of seconds every so often.

    New marine way point line is visible to aliens - I have a screenshot of a green line on the ground.

    Weird hydra bug where I put a hydra down but it didnt grow automatically had to be heal-grown.

    Now that gore stuns marines too, could we get stuns from fade swipe and skulk bite too?

    No noticeable frame rate improvements here, though the route of my performance issues is mainly latency based. Maybe they haven't got to that yet.

    Can friendly fire could also stun Marines? It's only fair.

    But seriously, what's new in this patch?! I won't be able to play it for a couple of hours and I must know!

    Damn at work, need notes :)

    Can I ask anyone playing if they've removed that annoying Heal sign that keeps appearing randomly in the sky and in your face as a gorge?
  • olisisolisis Join Date: 2003-02-01 Member: 12944Members
    Man, oh man, do I loves the way that infestation spreads. So awesome
  • Champlo0Champlo0 Join Date: 2012-04-17 Member: 150617Members
    - Hallucinate is in. It's pointless to use cause even Onos hallucinations die in like one spray of bullets so you may as well only use skulks.

    - Hive sight is gone. You can't even see marines attacking structures anymore.

    - Cysts cost 2 energy

    - Drifters cost 20 energy

    - Jetpack is more efficient

    - Gorges have no mini-cysts

    - Infestation spread on everything (up to ceilings and everything)

    - Hive seems to mature faster

    - Armories seem to be weaker

    - You give medkits and ammo from armory energy. Build 2 armories and have infinite med kits essentially.

    That's what I've gathered so far

    Health of Hallucinations are 10% (I believe, don't remember off hand) of their real counter-parts.

    The hitching is usually caused by caching the material files, what is your amount of RAM and VRAM?

    Hydra's can be placed off infestation now, but they don't grow on their own. You need to use Healspray on them to actually have em grow

    That's still barely even a concentrated bullet spray making it thus pointless unless NO marines are around or if the commander is REALLY jumpy.
  • RuntehRunteh Join Date: 2010-06-26 Member: 72163Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    I'm not impressed by the idea of phantasm or hallucinate, I think it will be very hard and near to impossible get them working successfully. They just seem a bit gimmicky?

    Ink cloud is awesome (from Schimmels youtube videos) I just hope there can be some more inventive alien 'spells' like that.
  • PsiWarpPsiWarp Gifted Gorge Richmond, B.C., Canada Join Date: 2010-08-28 Member: 73810Members
    I hope they'll revisit the +use Phantasm idea from the Design Log, since AI tend to be clunky and are likely "one trick ponies".

    Liking the Spit decal, it would be neat if it was considered as DI so a Gorge can cause a Hydra to auto-grow temporarily (if place to far and Heal Spray can't reach :P)
