on sum servers, I have seen lerks beable to carry gorges.

I know not server had it. so it must hav been a download. was it an offical download? is it in 3.0beta??? if not, it should(im Dling 3.0b now)

Lerks being able to transport gorges and pickup marines and drop them is FUN <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It's a plugin that some servers have, and lerk lost the 'spike' ability in favor of bite.

    "Lerk Lifting" as it has come to be known, is not good unless the Gorge has some control. On servers like that, I've gotten really angry at stupid Lerks who carry me around the map when I'm trying to do something, then let me go, but, due to a bug in the plug-in, I'm stuck in a floor/wall.

    But mostly, unless the Gorge can choose to drop himself, its not a good idea. That, and Lerks carrying Gorges can be devastiting to marine structures if the Gorge has Bile Bomb.

    On the only server with Lerklift thatI play on, the gorge has the option of disengaging himself fromt he lerk by pressing the 'use' key I think. Also, the admins kick if use lerklift in combat situations. Lerklift is to help gorges get to hard-to-get-to places to build. I think Lerklift is good i nto abused.

    The server is NS 3.0beta3 LerkLift-HealArmory-PhaseEQ@ warmfuzzyland.com

    THEY LOST THERE SPIKE!!!!!!!!!!
    that SUX to the mAX!!!!! the lerks spike is what won the game for me and my team alot. there longrange attack ability is what i liked about them!. if anything they shoulda got rid of primal scream.

    getting rid of spikes.....i think ill quit the game now. so will a few of my friends.
    lerks were my favorite thing, and now they lost there most useful ability...being able to attack turrets from far away, and now what r u supose to use to destroy energy sheilded things and no more hit and runs.....what is so good about bite...i did not want it...its only useful for destroying non protected structures...

    im out....

    Please dude, if you quit playing this game just because the Lerk lost his spikes... Damn that's quite stupid...

    Besides, I know a lot of players who own jp'ers by using bite.... The fact that spikes are gone is not a big deal...

    Anyway I think it's kinda sad to quit such a great game (I've been playing NS since day one and it's still my favourite HL mod) for such a stupid reason....

    i play there too

    and about gorges doing "flybys" it doesnt work,when your carring a gorge,and he decides to start shooting,you get real jumping,sometimes run into /invisible/ wall...which isnt the best thing to do when flying past a rine with a shotty

    yes there are bugs and sometimes gorges get stuck it walls,or sometimes i stick them through ceiling if im mad,but then i get them out

    all in all i think it just makes ns more fun to play,even tho you dont use it much its just another thing to make the game more enjoyable,you always have a few times where you swoop down and grap a gorge that running from 2 rines,throw him behind a box,turn,umbra the floor,then pwnzor the rines

    I really neva saw the point of spikes, they just took too long to do any damage that I could do just as easily many other ways...

    Another thing. If a Marine Player is good enough, as a lerk u wont be able to get close enough to bite them. ur flapping wings will give u away and lerks cant walk veryfast. ill probally wont quit, but im not going to be playing it as much as i use to. the lerks now hav become...almost useless.

    u wont beable to get close enough to use bite on an enemy
    the spores dont effect heavys(spike was good on heavys)
    orange gas was only ment for supporting
    primal scream was only ment for supporting

    it should be

    -Bite
    -Spike
    -Spores
    -Orange Gas

    you obviously haven't played with them in the new version as of yet.

    I'll admit I was skeptical at first as the Lerk was fairly dear to my heart, but I love it all the more... a lerk with celerity combined with the new flight control model is beyond beautiful... lay down a spore cloud and a second later bite their head off (insta kill with focus.. except at lvl3 armor... maybe 2 i could be mistaken).

    I promise you... just go practice the new lerk in combat mode and you'll learn to love it above and beyond the old version very quickly.

    New lerk is mass fun in combat. But I think that bite is often a very risky manouver in classic, now with the fixed hitbox. A marine with good aim can easily mow your 30 res down, even if you are a good lerk player. I am not, but i know someone who royally kicks **** as lerk, but sometimes just gets gunned down as if it was an uncarapaced skulk on 1 hive. Spores? Well meh, marines can just cry for medpacks and step aside. Of course i understand it is a support unit, but I ask you, is it really that great to have bite instead spikes, in classic? Is it more fun? In my honest opinion, it is not. Of course, it should be fairly hard to properly use spikes now with the new flight, unless you hover straight up/down, or are on the ground.....Anyways

    Lub to 3.0 combat lerk, but Meh to 3.0 classic lerk.
