Perhaps veils can get their per-cost dropped to 10 instead of 13? You only get the full benefit of phantom-silence at veil 3, whereas Shell 2 and Spur 2 are quite decent already.
Otherwise, I think Phantom/Aura is good enough for Lerks &… -
True that NS2 has a small tech tree, but there are still meaningful choices. Due to the fast pacing, those few choices are absolutely critical in an *evenly* matched game. If you had enough map control & res to do everything almost at once, then…

The drifter menu also has the patrol command on it. Since you'll use it fairly rarely (versus say, cysting), just click on the command, then on the map.

I play with 200-250ms ping regularly and as long as there are no spikes, it's very playable with the netcode. You just need to get into the habit of starting Evasive Manoeuvres half a second before actually seeing the enemy to avoid getting splatter…

Amazing work Cannon Fodder! Beautiful.

Been playing since Alpha, didn't know about Gorge 2x heal while looking down! Great info!
-
Fantastic, much love for the gorge!
-
Thanks all, sleepless nights here I come! ISE. Finally found the DiV 4 matches you casted, entertaining
-
Thanks Pelargir, wasn't expecting such a speedy response. Very much appreciated, and I'll direct as many folks as I can to this!
Might I suggest including the link to the ENSL forum section that hosts the VODs by season? Helps new and un… -

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I think all that's needed is for http://forums.unkno… -
Once the alien team gets up to 3 hives and 5 rts they can contaminate-whip spam indefinitely, and it definitely is very crippling to a marine team. In a turtle situation this is fantastic for breaking, but for stalemates when both sides have 4-5 rts…

Some can afford cash, some can afford time to build content, some just spread the Message freely with passion. All are vital to NS2

Does anyone have a youtube video up of the finals? Twitch VoD is horribly slow for me.

I watched streams from a female NS2 caster a while back, forgot her name but was DN~something. Anyone know?

Yes, communicate with your team and tell them what's going on in a calm voice, or at least type. At least some people will understand and try to follow the plan.
Med & Nano-shield the good players with higher KDR and are helping you … -
Saw the casters 7 hours in and 20 hours in. Big difference in the before and after :P
Great work guys, really appreciate the effort, get some sleep after the cast-a-thon ends, we still need y'all !
Btw, what happened to Wasab… -
What is it darkling, can't find it

I like matso's idea of bidding tres. Doesn't split the game into 2 allows competitive to be self balancing.
Its almost like the Bidding system the Clans use in the battletech universe, where commanders show how elite they are by giving u… -
As dragon says, a heavily danaged alien takes longer to heal if they go into HP damage.
A mildly damaged alien will heal up armour faster and hence their effective hp faster. So hit n run aliens will benefit greatly from regen or a forwa… -
Agree this is a good idea!
Also not forgetting marines, whether they have JP and wbich Exo they are. -
@alkix As Nachos says, this is exactly what this idea wants to happen. An ablative a1 marine with 1 medpack needs 5 hits to die. Suddenly, direct melee combat becomes we…
-
A little surprised the idea got some positive responses.
@Nachos I think MACs should be able to repair it. This opens up a possible opening strategy: Ablativ… -
Agreed on:
Railgun exos only on 1 CC.
W2/A2 only on 1 CC. -
I agree rookie time needs to be longer.
In addition, I think we should extend the concept, for e.g.:
Green: <5 hours
Yellow: >5 hours, <10 hours. Player has never achieved more than 50 score per minute.
N… -
I would disagree with this suggestion as it reduces map control dependence, which I think is the whole point of a game with RTS element. A team with a lot of map control but has to give it up to attack will end up overextending, giving an opening fo…

I thought whips sucked as siege weapons until a sneaky khamm echo'd 2 whips in view of one of my expansion bases and totally smashed the PG before anyone could respond. The same khamm spammed 4 whips in 1 large room, watching an Exo get insta-gibbed…
-
I agree, only makes sense to have 1 ruleset for both pub & comp play - it's still the same game after all ! The only exception would be things like friendly-fire, very easy to remember and understandable.
Let's not make the game less… -
I comm & khamm a lot, and I can still place my cysts precisely. You don't have the guide circle, but just move your cursor till a 2nd cyst pops up, then shift it back to precision place. I actually wish drifters could still build cysts, since a …

Yea, aliens having a gorge wall to stop marines from rushing into the hive.
For marines, Just keep reinforcing from base & scatter some mines to stop a base rush. A forward armoury can help, but this is usually bad as it promotes the… -
I second what Elodea said. Seen too many games where one team overcommits, but not enough to take out the main base. They pretty much lose the rest of the map.
