I'm fucking done.

Post by SpecialAgentOrange » 26 Jun 2016, 16:22

This is bullshit, Marines hiding mines under shit is way too over powered. The only 9/10 times I die it's because of these stupid ass mines that I can't even see. This should fucking be banned because I'm basically praying to the RNG gods will this magazine have a mine under it and will I lose my ancient fucking hunter? There's no skill involved yet you could easily kill an alien like that, and they would be powerless to stop it.

I'd just like to mention:
Mature+ Hunters will not die from a single mine.
You can right-click an object/alt-click a tile to check if there's a mine on it.

I wonder how much skill involved in using eggwalls... This whinning won't do anything. Have ideas - go to suggestions and post them.

Marines are encouraged to hide things under things.
Best Mine i saw, was recently someone put one under a Prae body or something and a runner ran right into it.

Just don't step on the mine. Or melt whatever is hiding it.

yes because mines with literally only one way to destroy them (crushers) without killing yourself are totally equivalent to eggwalls that are easily downable if you're not stupid and rush them
yes because while I can't pull death off my xeno sister's face, you can easily pull a hugger off

And here we see a naturally occurring example of a general discussion salt mine. Be careful to keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle, ladies and gentlemen. These formations are particularly volatile and may evoke senseless argument in each and every one of you.

Yes, it's annoying, but there are ways around it. Mainly rightclicking.

Aliens and mines: Right click.

Marines and eggwalls: Right click.

Fun fact, pulling two or three huggers can cause a skull fracture.

Xeno mains are the only players I have ever seen to get buffed to everloving fuck and back, then complain about getting one-upped by something that is literally designed to be hidden. Gr8 b8 m8.

>buffed to fuck

Have you read the changelog? Its nothing but major nerfs and slight 'buffs'. The nest changes because Apop was salty at getting perma nested turned keeping marines held down into a nightmare

Xeno win rate went up after the changes, meaning it was a buff/rework.

I've been seeing a lot more mines lately, but right clicking and being careful can shut down a lot of that strategy until a crusher can come clear them.

Went up? Where are your metrics? With mine spam and the over-all nerfs form the update they already shit xeno winrate went from 20% to closer to 10%

I know Apop hates aliens, but this server is so badly balanced it is sad
