No More Ns Until 1.1

<div class="IPBDescription">I'm quiting</div> I've decided to stop playing NS until 1.1 comes out. I've been playing NS religiously for 5 months and I'm taking a break. It's mostly cause I hate playing in pubs, but also the fact that the aliens have a huge advantage over the marines. Server logs show that a large majority of the victories are aliens. Once they get fades, its pretty much over. I spend most of the game waiting for the end. Aliens can plant O chambers anywhere, while turrets take a TF, extra res, and are less effective. Aliens can heal from their hives and D chambers, while marines pester the comm to heal them. There needs to be a healer for the marines, like the armory/health mod. Plus, aliens can spawn and run without loading up on energy, hide and evolve anywhere. Marines need to spawn, load up on ammo at the armory which is usually out in the open in the base. Until I see some major changes in the interface and fairness I'm quiting the game. Consider this a short-term boycott.

    I'am with QUAZ, Aliens DO have the advantage. I mean c'mon 'Ehanced Sight' is just overpowering!

    10 posts.

    You certainly can't believe that people will miss your 'presence' on the forum. So why make an "i'm leaving" post?

    Obviously the only reason for this thread is because you believe, for some strange reason, that your decision to leave will either sway peoples opinion on game balance (not likely) or make the game developers sit up and say:

    "Well golly gosh, Quaz is leaving the mod because he thinks aliens are too strong. Clearly we have made some sort of error in our design. Lets re-evaluate our opinion on game balance and massively nerf aliens in 1.1, after all we can't afford to lose such an important community member as Quaz."

    ....heh.

    (Not interested enough to actually explain why marines infact dominate aliens when played with any understanding of NS gameplay, or why every point made in his post is completely ridiculous)

    I was pretty much going to post what TeoH said.

    The only real reason to post a 'i'm leaving post' is if your well known in the community. No offence intended but your obviously not.

    I hope you come back and like NS more in it's 1.1 incarnation and enjoy whatever you go on to play now.

    I stopped played NS because I played it so much last month it was disgusting. It's the most I've ever played of any video game in the last 3 years. I need a break to get back 'things that matter' for lack of a better owrd.

    But oh yes, I'll be back in the game come 1.1!

    ah....well...let me see here. My first words to you will be...Coward. Followed by..sad man. So...whenever you have the guts to keep playing and stop whining I'm sure I'll be commanding...and I'll be sure not to drop you much. Since I imagine your one of those many that pester the comm for an HMG...5 minutes into the game.

    yeah im a little bit hibernating aswell

    not becuz of aliens are overpowered, no instead of that becuz the rines are too overpowered, and on the servers I play usually the good players go marine and spawncamp the hive with a armry and stuff, really boring and a waste of ur time. I mean, k so u guys win, but whats the freaking point, it wasnt an challenge, it wasnt fair and it makes ppl leave the server. And some caln players dont know the words "switch team once in a while" and keep on sticking to rines.

    Of course this doesnt happen on all servers and thats why I aint gone for good till 1.1 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And Quaz, it sounds like ur blaming the devs or even threatning them (try to find other servers or other players)
    reminds me of something eminem raps " Im out of my head, let me in yours" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have to go along with a majority and "corporate line" here. I don't really thinkg anyone cares wether a few people who are uncontent with a game play it or not. Natural-Selection is a fun game to play, regardless of power standings; if you can't see that and must post things like "This game is unfair and I can't win, so I'm not playing until 1.1 -- Which MIGHT make it easier for ME to win" then that's the wrong attitude. I bid you farewell and may the Counter-Strike Gods beat you down with sticks.

    Regardless of his motives, some of these posts would encourage others to join.

    The term is "Don't be a female dog."

    Don't flame him.
    If he wants to leave, so what?
  • Niloc1Niloc1 Join Date: 2003-04-25 Member: 15835Members
    I really dont think the aliens are over powering. If you have a good commander you can win without a problem at all.
