Human vs Xeno vs Corrupted Xeno feedback

Post by HKO20006 » 16 Mar 2018, 03:32

Was a great fun, never known rekting another Xeno as a Xeno was so satisfying.

Feedbacks
The obvious ones firsts
  • Corrupted Xeno get different color
  • Sound when Xeno attacking each other
Xeno side
  • Hive stats, hive observe (and hive mind?) broke
  • Hive at hanger was bad (got rushed), too close to human med base (and they get many guns from administration) and no roundstart weed at all. Better if one base is in Lamba and one in Research, far away from human to avoid rush plus good amount of roundstart weed. Even better if the two hives at the opposite ends of the map and survivors in the middle.
  • Sentinel is weak at Xeno vs Xeno, they are slow at moving and attacking, can easily be rekted by Runners, might need something so they can defend themselves from hostile Xenos (Droned is not suppose to get in Xeno vs Xeno combat so omitted).
Human side
  • Guns are too concentrated (mostly at administration IIRC), maybe spread them across the map so they don't get so many guns so quickly and start banding together.
  • Too relaxing (see bar) until Corrupted Xeno attack

The event was 10/10, loved it. Specially the addition of autodocs and a scanner in Big Red medbay, making it functional. Also lots of small weapons available, and the change of atmosphere brought by two xeno groups competing for hosts (instead of just murderboning them to win).

From my perspective it was very, very enjoyable, and has quite a bit of potential.

Yeah most of the bugs with corrupted xenos were known before the event, but I found a few new ones during this event, glad you had fun

Corrupted Xenos could understand English (I have no clue what the default language is I'm just assuming it's engligh). In like the 4 or so people I could find none of them responded if they could understand me.

That's intended, but they can't speak it.

I really enjoyed the event. It was really fun scavenging materials from medbay, hacking stuff to get access, and then putting on different gear to be able to carry everything. It was great seeing people adapt to new situations. We had two ghetto surgeons in medbay which was neat. I think the people should start with a flash light instead of a flare though. I found a flash light earlier but some of these poor people were running around in the dark. The guns in admin did bring people together, but spreading them out could also be neat because one of the first things that were organized in medbay were away missions to recruit and scavenge.

S is start, H is human base
The order of being wiped seems to be
Beta
Alpha
Zeta
Original
Corrupted

About hive placement. All hives are place at corners, except Beta (in Engineering). Beta is also the closest hive to humans, so it got many visitors, for better or worse.

Round start xeno is 4, Queen, Hivelord, Runner and a Drone.
I feel the Runner is most important one here, as it is crucial for capturing host early in the round to make the hive strong. So if the Runner is bad, the hive is sort of doomed. I was the Runner and killed too many hosts and doomed the Original xeno.
