<div class="IPBDescription">What Many of You Should Realise</div> It says plainly in the middle of the frickin thread that Flayra made that this patch was to fix the problems in SCRIMMAGES. AKA, SCREW YOU PEOPLE WHO KEEP SAYING HE'S GIVING INTO WHINERS. In clan matches, it was SEVERELY making marines bad. Not because they just played bad, but because it was near impossible to win. So please, stop complaining.

    What are you talking about? I don't see that anywhere. Can you please provide a quote and a link.

    Also, if you decided to read Lux's post...

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->ok first off please dont post unless you have something meaningful to say, this thread is about 6v6 clan play, NOT a pub so please stay on topic.

    the changes of 2.01a are minor and for the better but 2.01a does not address the main problem: alien res model.

    I have been scriming 2.0 all day today, 2.01a sience it came out, there is a pattern; alien dominace. Some have tried to look at which hive-2 abilitys are too strong (umbra, bb etc) but there is no one ability that is owning marines (not like acid rocket was with pushback). The aliens need those abilitys to kill HA and high tech marines, however it comes too soon.

    The problem is not specific abilitys, hive 2 needs to be strong, the problem is the alien res model.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    That enough?

    We all know Flayra uses clans to test beta patches. What does that have to do with what you said?

    Most importantly, some of you should realize that the new server side beta has a seperate forum.

    Well, there is that point, not to mention Nemisis, I was trying to get the people in "General" to understand.

    And Bosnian: He uses EVERYONE to test thing. There were PTs you know, not just Vets. This fix is mostly for the alien dominance in clan matches and scrims.

    Unfortunately I think Q is gettin a little worked up over something he is reading differently from the rest of us. Only the original quote by Flay has any relevance to your rant and unfortunately it doesnt really support you.

    I'm sure Flay wants a game as balanced for all of us as is possible. And I see the 2 main issues here (Onos devour/redemp change and skulk health change) as a reply to the pub scene. If there was a balance change needed now it would obviously be in response to the pub scene since the vets tested and released a balanced game for them about a week ago.

    You keep saying that but I don't see anything to verify that. Obviously he is interested in scrim outcomes because that's where the teams experience is divided equally between teams. This patch wasn't released for clans, it is just being tested by them.
