Fade Ownage (kinda Long)

<div class="IPBDescription">and damage problems</div> Yesterday night in a game I played, I got in when they had 2 hives and were trying to attack the 3rd hive placement (which was being guarded at the time). After going fade and killing a lone marine i found out the server had the view damage % thing on. So me and another fade constantly throw our acid rockets into a mess of turrets while I see a constant -60 popping out of 3-5 buildings. During that time i racked up alot of kills for marines trying to defend the base. We then build our third hive and I then researched cloak. For the next 45 minutes or so our team kept trying to take out their only exspansion. By this time I was quite happy having 24 kills and 0 deaths. So when we finally finish off the base i have around 31 kills 0 deaths, and the other team was getting agitated saying things like "They got one guy taking out all of us!", I must say I was almost wet myself with glee. When it came to their main base we couldnt take it out, but i still racked up the kills. BTW its the map where the humans start off next to a HUGE elevator and a passageway to a rotating room. I was just running back and forth to the bottom of the elevator and the defence chambers and still havent died once. When i had about 45 kills someone on the other team accused me of cheating by saying, "That stupid fade kills me in one hit hacker style". That went on for about 3 more minutes before my teammates and I shut him up. This still continues for about 10-15 minutes. When I got to 63 kills (and still no deaths, pure acid rocket) they finally managed to kill me when the teams were 2 aliens (including me) and 5 humans. When I died and was able to hear their mics all i heard was pretty much cheering about my death, since HL had minimized twice (in the heat of battle) because my clan needed me, i decided to leavbe it at one death and dissconnect. I must say that fade is now my favorite evolution. As for the damage problems, although someone else posted pics of how bilebomb did no damage, since i could see the numbers I tried it myself. I threw a bunch of bile bombs right into the middle of that last exspansion and all I saw was a max of -6 damage going to -4 around the edges.

**As much as I would have wasnted to post it, when i quit HL i found out it didnt save my screen shot nor could I paste it**

    I completely agree, next to skulk early during the round fade is my favourite evolution, not only are u a tough mother when it comes to going 1 on 1 with a armored and hmg toting marine, but also u can swat down those pecky flying ones too. bile bomb is by far the best way to remove an annoying turret farm, also does very well against groups of marines. I, in fact, never play Ono as they are rather limited in their movement and attacking capabilities, i think it is because when i first played ono i got stuck in the airlock on bast <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> . GO FADE!

    "bile bomb is by far the best way to remove an annoying turret farm" If you accually read my passage <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ,you would know I said that bilbomb was useless never doing more than 8 damage a peice (altough its range was bigger than I thought).

    Which proves my point of Fades being overpowered


    thank you for your time

    Pikachu, im aware of the bug, but im also aware that i just took out a turret farm using bile bomb about 20 mins ago, also i was not directly hitting the turrets, as i understand it the bug is with direct damage, so 5-6 bile bombs right next to a building took them out.

    Nubi, by the same standard you could say that a ha/hmg marine is overpowered too, both a fade and that marine cost the about the same, and a marine can take out many fades 1v1 or even fully defended hives. So if both are overpowered wouldnt u say balance is good?

    Overpowered? NO! I almost died countless times, but the entire map was infested with defence chambers, even right next to their base! As for the bile bomb thing, I aimed in diff locations, I know its the splash damage that does it but nomatter how I threw it it was no more than 6-8 damage. Anyway the human team was obviously used to the type of enemy that will attack head on until it dies, I just kept going back and forth between them and defence chambers. Also the spammed an obscene amount of nades..... about 3 of which hit me. Oh and I had the carapace upgrade instead of regeneration which I know I would have died without.
