Ready Room Exploit Impossible To Beat.

<div class="IPBDescription">Just a little anger...</div> God **obscenity**, dont people realise that if they constantly spam ready room as aliens to give Gorge resources the game is totally unbalanced and not very entertaing for the marine side? I mean last game I played aliens had Fades in about 6 minutes. What the **obscenity** are the marines supposed to do about that? And its not like the marines were not working their hardest, its just that there is no way a marine side can develop fast enough to counter this exploit- aside from the mind-numbing grunt rush, which totally defeats the entire purpose of playing this game at all.

And fools think this game is balanced, what with this exploit, ready room grunt exploit and a raft of bugged weapons and abilities. Some fan boys go beyond extreme...

Dont get me wrong, this mod is fantastic... when it works.

    could you tell us HOW the readyroom resource flush is fixed? are the resources destroyed when you leave the alien team?

    Oh don't worry Flayra, despite being angry at the player base I still have complete faith in you and the Dev team. Your efforts at trying to fix bugs and satisfy the players with balances have been much appreciated by everyone who plays NS- its just angers me that people take a good game like NS and screw it all up because they dont like losing... ever.

    I've never seen a development team work quite as quick to please their fans and quite as hard to boot as the NS team.

    Thanks Charlie <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> good to know ya'll listen.

    This is crazy, Like posted above, I've never seen the developers fix problems this quick!

    Flayra - Disabling the "resources go to gorges" part, or just making it so it only works on exit and not on readyroom? Something else?

    Last night I was playing, and I went into the readyroom exploit to see if I could plummet to my doom in one of the deep holes, and just as I came in, the round ended, and I crashed. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I suppose that serves me right, though.


    But it *is* incredibly funny to watch 7 bobs go after a readyroom exploiter while you(me!) and your(my) team going in and decimating their last hive. For about 3 minutes.

    well what else would happen to them...? seriously, i think thats a dumb question.
  • TwexTwex Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4999Members
    heh, you know the old saying, there are no dumb questions...

    permanently destroying resources is a disaster for a carefully balanced economy.

    imagine a fully loaded Gorge quitting, taking more than hive's worth to nirwana. that can ruin a team.

    no, Flayra probably has some sort of timer in mind that will delay the redistribution of resources, reinstating someone's personal resources if he immediately rejoins after going to RR

    but it's hard to think up a method that CANNOT be exploited, that's why i was asking for the specifics

    Twex -- same issue if a marine with a Welder/HA/HMG quits. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the team isn't refunded those 60 or so resource points.

    Or what if the commander gets mad and just quits while the marines are out fighting-- I've seen it happen.

    Ultimately, every player will always have the power to damage their team...

    The ready room ghost bug is worse, IMO.

    But I'm sure that'll be fixed in v1.03 as well.

    Hmm, excuse PNB for having a job. Not like he needs to work for money or anything. He just runs outside to his money fields and starts up the harvester.

    Gee I have to stop being honest, I agree. I was hammered last night (nothing unusual there, lost all my money to my ex-partner) and I was on the Aliens as usual and the Marines had 8 vs 5 of us. Some gorge said hit F4 so i can build a hive, so being skulkily peed at the Marines I hit F4 , blammo we get a hive stat and Im a fade wasting the marines we win. I feel bad , didnt know about it till yesterday, wont do it again.
