    Well, I heard on IRC that you now have to upgrade "Medpack dropping" in the command chair, costing 15 res.

    EDIT: And hi everyone, Im back from being in various locations in EU for a week together with the rest of my class...(it was boring)

    Maybe they should add some type of "stamina" bar for healthpacks.. or like an adrelanine bar... you just can be dropping stuff like a mad man...

    Yea, I think they should stop the health spam..also it will not take so many frames bcause of the 50 med packs on the floor <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But personally I think it should be allowed. It's what makes the game more fun, like marine bunnyhopping used to do. It might sound stupid but I think the game will be way less fun if all those semi-exploits are removed...

    Moving swiftly back to On-Topic, i have updated the changelog with two new changes that to my knowledge havent been posted in the forum, and/or havent been discussed or answered in detail.

    OMarines now have 3rd-person reload animations

    OThe Onos has a Gore, Charge, Stomp, and Devour animation. Note that Devour consists of 3 parts: weapon ready, the attack itself, and weapon position while digesting a marine.

    This information was provided by Coil in another thread:

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't veil a new map, therefore making it five new maps?

    Also, I remember earlier it being mentioned that the grenade launcher has a new model, and I didn't see that in the list.

    I am well aware of the new GL model but seeing as it was mentioned a long time ago and hasnt been listed yet, i am not including it in, in-case things have changed.
  • Spud88Spud88 Join Date: 2002-12-30 Member: 11609Members
    I reckon what would be better than health spamming is a building which, once built, will slowly heal marines for free when they are either inside it or using it like an armoury - sort of like a hospital so marines who survive an attack can heal up for the next one, but they can't really heal up in the middle of a battle.

    Everything else looks really cool; thanks for all the hard work Norm!
  • eggmaceggmac Join Date: 2003-03-03 Member: 14246Members
    Supernorn, please add the announcement of a new minimap feature (look in the beta forum).
  • playermanplayerman Join Date: 2002-11-09 Member: 7854Members
    i figure webs are an important counter to jetpacks. marines can get jp early on but usually it's around the time aliens get 2nd hive ("put webs up quick!").
    with webs a 3rd hive ability, what do aliens have to counter jetpacks?
  • elimelim Join Date: 2002-11-17 Member: 9006Members, Constellation
    all the new features are cool but if the lerk loses the bite ability, i will be pretty p'oed, my eyes hurt from reading it all, gj dev team
  • Impy_The_LerkImpy_The_Lerk Join Date: 2003-05-24 Member: 16652Banned
    I belive thats primarily the lerk's job and with spores on 1st hive i dont think they willbe able to stand a chance
    btw i agree with the web being 3rd hive its such a powerfull weapon when you can consider it can be used on the whole map and not just defencivly, its deffiantly the strongest gorge attack/defence all in one.

    It seems to me that they are making it easier for Marines to win now. I 've been on several servers where marines domniate the map and the guys on the alien team were no pushover's. I beleive that web needs to remain a hive 2 ability due to the jetpackers. I also didn't see anything about cost of jetpacks plus the cost to research them.

    That just sounds stupid...
    Using the words "allowed" and "exploits" in the same post...
    Hmm...
    I just did...
    Well mine was a quote OK ?

    And to you guys who STILL freckin say things like "THE BALANCE IS WEIRD ( note the homestar voice on weird ) ! ! ! KILL ALL THE PLAYTESTERS CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THAT I WANT EVERYTHING TO BE LIKE 1.04 ! ! !" even though I've been away for like a week
    Just get lost OK ?
    There ARE playtesters
    They WONT release it unbalanced
    It's NOT your job to point out that everything sucks
    OK ?

    heh from reading these last few threads makes me beleive you guys arent reading what we've said about jetpacks; they are not your jetpacks of old, they do fly a little bit, but they are easily countered with skulk, lerks, gorge, fades, onos, pretty much anything gets a jper nowadays <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    dont fret, the gorge having webs 3rd hive is just a more of a incentive to get 3 hives imo,means by that time if you havent won, you can pretty much say you have when the gorges have webs.

    My only question is when are we going to be able to download it?!?!
  • eggmaceggmac Join Date: 2003-03-03 Member: 14246Members
    Despite spreading rumors about a speedy release of the new version, I believe that it will take a lot of time until major balance issues are being sorted out. Besides, the maps must be finished and tested as well and a lot of small chnages in numbers will be immanent. So I guess we'll have to wait for at least a month...

    When I first played Starfleet Command I was a Klingon commander. When you fired a disruptor it meant "Damage" done to the other ship. I was happy with that. After all Starfleet pigs had some pretty hefty resources themselves. Then came out Starfleet Command 2, the missles fired off a ship had new sounds and they were amazingly prettier graphics, but someone lowered the capacity for a Klingon disruptors ability to damage with each hit. They turned the Klingons into "sissy warriors" when they took ability away from them. Before you change too much on your next version, listen carefully to all input both professionals who are building, those who beta tested and the public outcry.

    I hear the Marines cry "Lower the powers of the Aliens" I heare the Aliens cry "lower the powers of the Marines". Carefully balance the game, right now version 1.04 is not bad. It can be made unpopular by too many wrong choices and right now it has an addictive following to this cult MOD. Since I am a newbie of sorts as of 5/27/2003, I have played for only a week now but I see the potential for this MOD to be game of the century if trends and design walk is careful.

    Now what about LAN games, currently If I am not mistaken when you try to lan, you get HL game. Is a LAN capacity going to be made for this game?

    When it is done.
    There is no way in hell, except to sell your soul to Satan maybe, or ask a seer, to get a release date on NS. The devs simply don't want to come near the release date and not be done and have to delay many times, or rush stuff so it becomes craptastic as compared to what it could have been.
    Not even an approximate release date.

    And AgentX, I can create NS lan games just fine... if you're using the desktop shortcut, don't.

    Noone likes you norn...

    Or maybe it's something else..

    And it's really annoying how fast it went after my last post for someone to start whining about balance again...
    hehe
    It WILL be balanced
    Now lets leave that

    COOL NORN
    THX for posting that!

    One thing I saw that makes my Jump for joy is the fact that:
    They fixed the Skulk walking on walls and the ceiling!
    YEAH
    That use to make me feel like I was in some bad written B movie!

    "There was this one time when I was in a room and the Skulk was on the other side of the rooms window, he was just floating there, no animations @ all. I would move to the left, he would float to the left, I move right, he hovers to the right. Just looked bad!"

    I'm so happy that is fixed, I always thought they could have made it look a bit more like the wall walking in AvP2.

    I can't wait for this release!
    Its so large and sounds really good! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
