Xeno to survivor metarush

[Sarah_U.]

A part of what Casany said there.
In high pop you stand no chance of rescue if marines are slow.
In low pop you stand no chance of rescue untill commanding roles are up.
In most scenarios you get swarmed and killed for almost no reasons.

In all scenarios, you're pretty fucked and that rule is there to give a cushion to all this. Survivors are fun to play yes, but not if you get tacklespammed by 4 runners 3 minutes in like I've seen yesterday. (Queen told them to leave the survivor alone and to hunt monkeys, they didn't, that's another issue).
Also, survivors can't push xenos away and have low weaponry. To complement this all, they AREN'T ALLOWED to have the unlimited knowledge benefit you speak of, as admins have repetitively classed that under POWERGAMING when I attempted to perform it. (Ugh)
PS: Melee gives you burn damage and without an armor it does too much damage to effectively kill a runner without risking permanent limping.

-1. Im not a fan of how the gameplay reaction of survivors vs. xenos pan out right now, but i dont think having staff enforcement is an acceptable solution to a gameplay problem.

my thoughts are that this problem should be solved someway ingame to produce a better/ more interactive experience, no staff rulings.

I'm going to deny this. We've spoken about the role of survivors in dev, and the stance is, if you're playing a survivor, you should expect to fight for your life. The xenomorphs don't need to play nice with you or offer you a chance to live. It is a completely optional role, and if you want to play it, then be ready to face the aliens trying to kill you.
