Infestation spread is nice, the menu looks awesome and performance is good :) I was expecting more graphic options now, i guess that will be in the next patch. Good job!
Aliens still guaranteed a win if they save for a few Onos
Drifters cause a lot of lag when theres a bunch of em
Performance got worse for me, the game freezes for a couple of seconds every so often.
New marine way point line is visible to aliens - I have a screenshot of a green line on the ground.
Weird hydra bug where I put a hydra down but it didnt grow automatically had to be heal-grown.

Can friendly fire could also stun Marines? It's only fair.
But seriously, what's new in this patch?! I won't be able to play it for a couple of hours and I must know!

Hydra's can be placed off infestation now, but they don't grow on their own. You need to use Healspray on them to actually have em grow

I'm not impressed by the idea of phantasm or hallucinate, I think it will be very hard and near to impossible get them working successfully. They just seem a bit gimmicky?
Ink cloud is awesome (from Schimmels youtube videos) I just hope there can be some more inventive alien 'spells' like that.
I hope they'll revisit the +use Phantasm idea from the Design Log, since AI tend to be clunky and are likely "one trick ponies".
Liking the Spit decal, it would be neat if it was considered as DI so a Gorge can cause a Hydra to auto-grow temporarily (if place to far and Heal Spray can't reach :P)

Why do the main menu options have numbers by them? I tried pressing the respective numbers but it doesn't do anything.
Gorge cant make cysts anymore?
Still only 3 hydras!! boo
Performance was improved more than slightly, big ++
Drifters cause a lot of lag when theres a bunch of em
Performance got worse for me, the game freezes for a couple of seconds every so often.

What is phantasm?
Reverse psychology :D
Menumod.

Can I ask anyone playing if they've removed that annoying Heal sign that keeps appearing randomly in the sky and in your face as a gorge?
- Hive sight is gone. You can't even see marines attacking structures anymore.
- Cysts cost 2 energy
- Drifters cost 20 energy
- Jetpack is more efficient
- Gorges have no mini-cysts
- Infestation spread on everything (up to ceilings and everything)
- Hive seems to mature faster
- Armories seem to be weaker
- You give medkits and ammo from armory energy. Build 2 armories and have infinite med kits essentially.
That's what I've gathered so far
