It makes you wonder if all the recent development time spent on this game has been a waste. All the new development activity for this game started in December 2015, but if we look at the player retention from July 2015 to July 2016… -

Honestly, the best and simplest way to help new players against fades would be to buff the flamethrower. If the flamethrower actually fired the number of times it's supposed to in a second, and could hit things traveling through it… -
It's impossible to balance aliens and marines at all skill levels.
Imagine if both marines and aliens had perfect 100% accuracy. Marines would win every round.
This game is balanced around average players. The only way to bal… -
Urge to come back to game, rising...
All I want is for the flamethrower to be useful though! It's such a newbie trap. They think since it costs 15 res it must be decent when in reality it's worse than every other gun except when it comes… -
Not directly related to "balance", but if you guys want to make n00bies and newbies feel more at home with this game, you need to add a kill/death cam.
Dying as a skulk must be so frustrating for new people. They turn a corner and get mo… -

I haven't played in months but I still check the forums for some reason -
Here's what you need to know about Hive Skill
<1000 = Baddies
1000 - 2000 = Normal folk
2000 - 2500 = Really good normal folk
2500 - 3000 = Suspiciously good folk
>3000 = Hackers -

Real answer is money. It's always money. Someone didn't get accolades/credit/paid (and credit/accolades are just as good as getting paid since they help you build a resume which will in the end help you get paid by someone else)(Quote)
From an outsider perspective of someone who only ever played the game casually for fun, this whole topic feels like I've entered some weird cult. In fact, the whole board feels like it's a cult group meeting dominated by just a few…(Quote)
While I don't agree with the number of cheaters dePARA believes there are in NS2 ( I imagine it's much, much more than just a "handful" - IMO anyone with a hive score over 3k is undoubtedly cheating) I do agree that making topics a…I've never understood why people buy cosmetic DLC's. You can't even see them on your own character since this is an FPS, and enemies are usually too busy trying to kill you to bother focusing on the color of your shotgun. Not only that, but for a co…(Quote)
The newbies will leave like they always do once the weather gets nice again. NS2's playerbase always goes up during the winter and then goes back down come spring. It makes more sense to focus on the people that have stuck with the…All these patches get released for this game, but I honestly notice absolutely zero differences from patch-to-patch. Maybe some people have had hit-registration issues, or experienced server issues, but I've never came across that.

Hit the nail on the head.
I'd honestly prefer the charade just got dropped and UWE/CDT bowed out and said we are done supporting the game.
Instead, we got this constant dangling in front of our noses of some…(Quote)
Reputation is a major thing to alot of people. Plus, what about voice chat? If you get banned from a server, re-buy the game, and then log back into the server using the same voice, people would recognize you. There is plenty of vo…(Quote)
So what do you propose as valid proof? Surely just "snapping" to a skulk wouldn't suffice, neither would aiming at a skulk through a wall since skulks can be heard through walls. So is there anything that would satisfy you other th…(Quote)
Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to prove cheating beyond a shadow a doubt. People have cheated in LAN tournaments for counterstrike, tournaments where referees could literally look over their shoulders. Many cheats have no HU…Meatmachine and all the people disagreeing with my posts, you guys realize the only topics on either board (Steam or this one) that get a decent amount of posts are the ones about cheating or why the game is dead/dying? I'm sure you guys just think …(Quote)
What other online multiplayer competitive FPS games on the PC are popular?
Counterstrike GO? It's only successful because of trading/$9000 knife skins/and the legacy of its predecessors.
Team Fortress 2? Hat…I"m 99% positive the player numbers would skyrocket if a 100% perfect detection anti-cheat got implemented. Of course this is just a fantasy, since no online multiplayer developer/programmer/network guy person has ever managed to come up with it. Bu…Ghoul you should write for the DailyMail because this was a very misleading topic title -_-I like your enthusiasm about reviving the community BlackDog, but I watched your video and found it amusing how at the end of the round you had people telling you to kill yourself and your channel was for noobs. People will always bite the hand that…amoral if that ever happened I'm sure you'd see the magical 35% marine accuracy barrier lifted, making the damage reduction pointless.I say bad idea only because it's another thing added to the game that's not needed, just like Derelict was. Would a mentor system be a nice addition to the game? Yes, I could see how in some ways it would be beneficial. Are there far more glaring pr…(Quote)
Really now? Come on, hallucinations are still in a stage of much needed improvement. Gorge A.I. is actually very good, jumping and spitting and generally looking like a real gorge.

This is pretty much the problem with online PC gaming. People act like, "Oh since there's no xbox live/psn subscription everything is free!!" No, everything is not free. Somebody pays a lot of money each month to run the server. Th…Only way to make that happen is to run your own server and then just ban the people who are sh!tting up the game. If I had money I would gladly run my own server and do just that. Then again, if I had money I would probably have a demanding job that…I've played with a few of the people here (although I use a different handle in game so of course no one will know who I was/am) and this thread amuses me.
@Decoy…I honestly think Derelict is a fine map. My biggest gripe with it actually is performance related. I suppose everyone here (all 20 of the people that still post on the forumin ns2_derelict feedback Comment by Farewelltoarms August 2015

So that was posted on July 6th. It's been 3 weeks since then. How's the patch coming along?
