<div class="IPBDescription">put it back</div> My favourite thing about 1.04 is the lerk and his bite. Its devastating and yet very enjoying to use. I've talked to many players beta testing 1.1 and they want lerk bite back in, they dont like the new additions to the lerk. Well, even though i didnt beta test, i know that i wont enjoy spikes and spores as much as i do enjoy bite. I am looking forward to many new great additions in the next version, except for this one.
As far as i know each person i talked to wants lerk bite to be included in version 1.1.
So please, put it back <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ... and we can all have fun! <!--emo&::lerk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif'><!--endemo-->

We had a poll on this, and lerk bite was tossed out by the majority.
It's not coming back, or at least any time soon.
I heard they were making changes to the lerk but I NEVER ever thought they would do something like this. What I was thinking was maybe adding banking features, or a way to dive. Guess I was wrong <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> Oh and the vets posting about how the new lerk is ownage...the only reason you guys like the new lerk is because YOU get more kills with the 1.1 lerk then you did with the 1.04 lerk. I thought Flayra’s goal was to try and make the lerk a support class and not a killing class. Guess he failed in that category <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> I really (probably more then anyone in the NS community) would like to see lerk bite back.

It would probably lose even worse, more and more of the community is reserfacing from their hibernation of these forums as they read the beta forums.
How can you assume it will dominate just because you hear that "The lerk sucks without his bite" from a couple of outspoken people?
Get real dude.
You're right, that was his goal. Thats why he removed bite. Now the lerk HAS to sit in back and <b>support</b> rather than be able to swoop in and kill someone.
edit: It's really a shame that these ppl are gonna nerf such a perfect class in order for a few kills. I say take the time to learn bite...in the end you'll find it way more fun.
1.1 Lerk:
Long Range Support Class. All of the lerk's abilities are usable from a distance. This means that now the lerk can do what it's name implys, 'lerk' in dark places, and in rafters, doing 'driveby's', or if you prefere, "Diveby's" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. It doesn't need bite, because it can spike a marine the ENTINRE time it's diving on him..... and be even more effective. I heard people complain b/c it took skill to master bite, and they think that in 1.1 they're removing the skill from it. Now, imagine trying to master spikes? Before you wimp out, give it a try, and see just how nasty they can be! I've seen it, and it's scary. Master spikes, or, if u're a bite-a-holic, master the skulk! It's a nasty lil bugger, in 1.1 so I hear.
Either way, Bite is by-by, deal with it.
Excuse me. Lerk ALWAYS had spores. I fail to see the point in you're comments. Oh, and Guess what, all aliens, including gorges are "frag hunters" in one sense or another, b/c that's what aliens do. they didn't nerf lerk to acomidate anyone but Flay. He felt Lerk was ment for these abilities, not bite. Sorry, but he's in charge, and he says it's not gunna change, so why complain?

Ok incase u didn't know since they removed bite, spikes have moved into the first slot, and spores into the second. You now have SPIKES/SPORES at 1-hive. In 1.04 we rarely used spores cause we usually finished the game b4 we got 3 hives. And whats the deal with you and thinking it won't change. Do you know flayra in real life. Did he tell you those things personally or are you just pulling this out of thin air. I havn't heard that he said bite would not come back, I actully heard the opposite.

I downloaded the spray just to see what it was...... I have seen this spray all over the place.
Agreed. I suggested something like this b4.

learn to help the team and not just think about kill-frag-destroy-fest that you want for yourself.

its a game and having fun is more important than helping the team. support is boring.
