Lets work together as a community as share all the most annoying gorge spots. Maybe you know them well, but some rookie does not. I'll start with some common ones.

Please post pictures when possible.

    Wow, I didn't know you can evolve up there in biodome.

    This is missing the skylights vent. It's not as "sophisticated" as some of these, but still stupidly effective. Even with grenades it can be unreasonably hard to get a gorge out of there... and once you manage he'll just go back and start it all over.

    Refinery - Chasm vent, conduit on the pipes, smelting ceiling and Lava falls in general...

    Docking - east side of Generator on top of the pipes and Landing pad.

    Veil - Cargo on the lift thing on the south side near the ceiling and skylight vent.

    So you consider them annoying but start a thread to highlight their existence to everyone who reads it therefore ensuring the usage of said spots will grow at an exponential rate...

    Bro.

    ...if everyone starts abusing them, they will have to be fixed!


    ...I hope.

    What makes that vent strong is not the spot, but the vent you can easily run back to and be 100% safe until jetpacks.

    Out of the ones I posted about, only the Tram one is a real problem that should be fixed. The rest are just simply annoying but don't NEED to be fixed.

    Bro.
    You clearly don't understand my purpose here, bra.


    The following spots are from Wooza. He sent them to me, I am just posting them for him.

    ...at which points aliens going to overrun you because you have been down 2RTs for ten minutes, while aliens focused on taking C12, possibly even holding Overlook. (This is assuming a non-sub start. If it's a sub start you were still down 1 RT for a looong time.)

    Are you talking about veil, or biodome?

    Tram - vent shaft between Observation and Mezzanine

    You don't even need bilebomb, you can easily spit the powernode in obs. Sure, it takes some time, but the marines can't do much about it early game and the skulks have a nice healing station

    I used to think noevolve textures were useful. But then I got a brain.
