<div class="IPBDescription">Suggestion for Flayra</div> Poll Options.
1) Close to Balance (But Marines are slightly stonger)
2) Close to Balance (But Aliens are slghtly stronger)
3) Marines Overpowered
4) Aliens Overpowered
Because I feel NS is 60/40 but ever so slightly toward the alien side.
Just a suggestion to see what others think.
[edit]Just wanted to mention this is regarding the poll Flay but up in the Beta Forums. Thanks revenge <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->.[/edit]

You'd think the people would learn to play the game as it is... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
2) Kharaa are overpowered
That's the best poll. Soon as it's equal you know your game is balanced. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
5) Perfectly Balanced.

My only real concern now is the early advanced evos, (Pubs - Fades @ 5-8 mins/Onos @ 9-12 mins) and even earlier in clan matches and scrims. That is where I think the aliens have a slight advantage in Pubs and Scrims between evenly matched teams. Like I said 40/60 close but need a little more tweakage.
It has been really cool seeing the evolution in the gameplay from beta-to-beta.

Agreed. Its a perfect 50|50 split in 2.01e. Go! Play it now! Or ill bite your ear! Er, you didnt hear that.
Its what makes the games interesting and more realistic, the lack of balance.
Plus, if your a clannie, 30-40 minutes, is it? I can hold out longer than that with some res nodes.
Just depends on your team, not the balance issues.
This is a post in response to an actual POLL that Flayra put up in the beta forums.

My thought is he created this poll to gauge how the community feels about the balance 2.01d. I <b>am not</b> making a particular effort to point out anything is inbalanced and I <b>am not</b> complaining about the balance. I am just suggesting that Flay added an option to say:
1) Close to Balance (But Marines are slightly stonger)
2) Close to Balance (But Aliens are slghtly stronger)
Because I have talked to many people online who thinks the game is very close to balanced except for a slight advantage on the alien side. If this is the case I think Flay should know that and when he goes about tweaking for 2.1 or another 2.01x patch he can modify accordingly. A more precise poll will allow him to gauge how many other people think the balance is close and which side is still slightly more powerful.
Am I not being clear or is nobody really reading what I posted... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
If they're at an advantage only in pubs (slightly), I think it's good, that's how NS can stay unique.
I want to know is who actually thinks marines are dominant. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

So you would select:
5) Perfectly Balanced.
Since you feel NS is balanced just fine.
Look, I didn't want to make this a "how balanced is NS thread" it was only meant as a suggestion to Flay to expand the options of his 2.01 Balance Poll so he can get a better read of the community.
Currently his choices are:
1) It's very close to balanced (40/60% or closer)
2) Aliens are dominant
3) Marines are dominant
Well it seems to me neither side is clearly dominating the game in pubs and one team might have some inherent advantages (however so slightly) due to their team/res model. So I thought it would be nice to split option 1 into 2 options which specify where that 10% of inbalance is located, 40/60 on the marine side or 40/60 on the alien side.
Cool?
The exact percentage is probably not important. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
All that Flay needs to know is which side we feel is <i>slightly</i> more powerful so when he makes tweakages it's minor ones instead of major ones.
My experience on Pubs comes from servers such as Redphive, H2O, Evil, P&Bs, DSSG [OSS], Chitown, OLDF, Sleepless, Skulkpit, Arsclan, Gibgames, Tekwar, GRAVEYARD and sometimes the Hamptons. (I pick servers based on the ping I get on 'em <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->)
