I wonder why threads get locked because a moderator disagrees with the opinions stated in the thread. And how cool is it on a scale to state his own opinion as reason to why the thread is locked?

    I like how he pretends there wasn't an issue and that it was our inability to adapt. Clearly there was an issue, if there wasn't then why was a patch released with changes that only benefited the marine team.

    i agree, surely people are entitled to state their owns opinions on a public forum as long as they are on topic? i dont see why somebody should be allowed to silence a group of people with a view that opposes their own.

    They are referring to the fact that Tal's standard response to such threads is a lock with the message "adapt or die." The fact that the AoD message is complete BS doesn't seem tto matter much though.

    Nyarg, I'm in no *real* position to speak for anyone, but just screaming about balance doesn't do much, anyways. :/ I think the dev-team is fully aware the aliens are owning, thus is shown by the attempts to help marines in the recent 3.02 patch. :/ If you have suggestions or ideas, there is a forum for it. *point at I&S Forums*

    Actually, every time a thead is opened about 3.0f balance a certain moderator locks it with the reason "adapt". Its to highlight that this thread came about, since its impossible to comment on it in the actual theads. As they are locked with the reason "adapt".

    If there one thing Ive learned, never mess with admins, no matter how correct you may or may not be.

    Cus some kiddie admins ban first and ask questions later.
