Short timer to aliens putting down resin

Post by Siserith Vassada » 18 Aug 2015, 14:54

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):[/u essentally what ime saying is we need a sort 2-5 second timer for resin to be put down to stop shit like what happened today. no one seems to understand what i'me trying to say or even cares to attempt to understand so here is my suggestion.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): it would prevent aliens from instantly putting down resin in a constricted space to prevent marines from following them. and it would prevent the instant walling off of marines that are escaping from a hive en masse.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): today the marines fell back to the sulaco and then led a massive counter attack en mass from the drop pod to retake the lz. as we were approaching the lz half the people ran off in random directions and the remaining people got strung out in the big dome and taken out one by one hugged and nested. the aliens put us all in one small room all nested next to each other. and the left side of it was entirely open to the dome where all our primary's were and our escape route was. we came up with a plan to help each other out of the nests and make a break for it. we did just that and just as we got the last guy up. a queen and a single drone instantly put up a giant wall blocking our path. and interrupting grenades mid flight. they then proceed to near instantly surround the small room with very thick resin and then rushed in taking us out while we were crippled from our own grenades. i think there should be a short timer to prevent stuff like this from happening. i don't mean a long timer i mean a shot 2 to 5 second timer. not something that would prevent super hives and stuff like that. i just want it changed to prevent the aliens from abusing the resin.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

-1 its not really a good idea nest would take 30+ mins to make ((the good ones)) causing a cluster fuck. as for the group nesting and then making new resin its not new its been here since the alien code on all of the servers

Already suggested and denied. Plus, players like to push each other A LOT, making the actual hive building IMPOSSIBLE because you keep getting shoved by your hivemates.
Also, ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT!?

everyone knows the aliens have the most difficult side of the battle and a good hive can make a big difference. i don't want the timer to disrupt their capability to build a great hive. but there are problems with their ability to instantly place them. like they can immediately build nests when their under assault. or they can immediately build walls to escape or trap escapee's. and that's the problem. that's why i think it should be a short timer. to still allow them to make thier hives but prevent them from abusing it. like how is it that an alien while being shot at would instantly create a giant wall filling an entire hallway. capable of stopping incoming projectiles, and marines running after you.

Except they can't do that... They never could do that...
Unless the hallway is 1 block wide, thats not doable. Even a queen can't wall off a hallway two blocks wide while under heavy fire. The only alien that can is a hivelord.

i see that happen almost every round, and i never really used to agree with this idea. i only see now after playing for such a long time that it can get kind of problematic with the immediate placement.
