well, since i came from the voogru forum. i think bunnygirl would expect this. For those of you who play it, are you exited? it comes out tommorow! its going to be sooooo cool! im going crazy! :banana: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: @.@ @.@

played it, now i find it harder to hit those pesky sulks, :skulk:
marines have a nice crosshair for every weapon, woot!
i like the changes,

mmmm digestive system..

chikichicky - August 2, 2003 03:17 AM (GMT)
Oh god I wanna just flame 2.0... it's horrible! I hate almost all the changes to it... :\ The map changes to every single frickin one of the original... what's wrong with it? I LOVE the originals like eclipse :| Then, they made it PRO-ALIEN omgomgomg :\ I don't see much PRO-MARINE at all... Played on voogru and we got onos even before the second hive was even started... way to go Saviour... turns out to be a total let down... I quit =\

Unless voogru puts some add-ons to PRO-MARINE the game and even things out... there's no point in playing it... You even have to upgrade the observatory inorder to get a phase gate now. Instead of blinking for Fades it's gliding!!!! It eats up so little adrenaline, so what's the use of an adrenaline upgrade? All I can say is bleh.. I can't believe I spent 20 minutes downloading it o.o'

ns 2.0 came out?
hmmm....
im rather outdated
perhaps i should come back to the forums more often

OMFG_ILC - August 2, 2003 05:46 PM (GMT)
yeah NS 2.0 was a major letdown. I knew it wasnt going to be the savior everyone thought it was, but I wasn't expecting it to this bad. So much for basic bug fixing....they made too many alterations to standard maps, they changed sooo many things regarding the aliens, and with hives costing only 35 res and the ability to go fade and onos at the beginning Aliens will be able to dominate the majority of the time.

how can you say that? onos cost 100 friggen res!!! at the begining of the game that takes a long time to save up for. Marines have better light machine guns, the nade launcher is *beep*ING TIGHT!!! I love its reload sound *swoop* hehehe.
havy armor cant get gassed, you can electrify object so that sulks can kill it, commanding is a lot easier.....there's more, but im to tired to type it. :rolleyes:

just give it some time. Please??!?!?!? :wink:

if you dont like it still, try the specialists 2.0 beta. That is an awesome mod.

theres all :cs: and :seige: its really cool. :)

chikichicky - August 3, 2003 05:24 AM (GMT)
I looked through all the maps :( most of them are hella huge... oh the electric barrier... that's not gonna stop an onos :\ it's very weak... 100 res? Cap 3-4 res nodes and you've got a team of them before the second hive is up... you can use the horn to own the marines with no upgrades! C'mon, do a tally... which side has won more?

FreeLancer - August 3, 2003 09:52 AM (GMT)
?!
electric barrier?
onos with 100res only without 3rd hive?
can somebody plz tell me all the details?

chikichicky - August 3, 2003 07:12 PM (GMT)
go take a look, they made MANY modifcations in 2.0

curious george - August 6, 2003 02:04 AM (GMT)
first you say its pro alien, then now its pro marine? what are you actually sying. The electrify prevents from SULK rushes.(just to clarify)

chikichicky - August 6, 2003 02:30 AM (GMT)
when did I say it was pro-marines?

OMFG_ILC - August 6, 2003 03:29 AM (GMT)
she said that "unless voogru makes some add-ons to help make it pro-marine", didnt say that it was pro-marine =0

Despite the fact that you can barrier some structures with electricity, skulks still can attack early before the barriers are in place and even with them a group rush can still penetrate which is why marines are relying on turret spam to hold off aliens (though this is true with the previous patch too) Also getting hives up takes no time at all with aliens starting at 25res and hives now costing only 35.

and voogru's new additions for 2.0 are pathetic. They are only good for getting people banned for doing nothing...:( If you get disconnect during a round...instant ban....oh yeah that's going to help even things out...
removing devour isnt going to help weaken aliens since its an attack mainly for fun and you dont even to use it until you get the third hive up. Onos horns can kill 3 HA in no time, it's not very effective to be swallowing one up for 2 minutes just to regain a bit of health.

chikichicky - August 7, 2003 01:34 AM (GMT)
At least that what it seems in Cinder's situation... and also NSAdmin bans for various llama acts... but very glitchy... Then why have admins if NSAdmin is gonna do it? Send a robot to do a man's job...

SacrificalDemon - August 8, 2003 11:16 PM (GMT)
all the more reason to just stick to TFC...it owns cs and ns in just about every aspect.

OMFG_ILC - August 10, 2003 12:12 AM (GMT)
yeah...TFC OWNS ALL
see, even my signature done by the all powerful, all knowing, all beautiful chicky says so to

chikichicky - August 13, 2003 06:26 AM (GMT)
hehe =D I need to play some more NS... teh HiXxY said so.. OMGOMG!

curious george - August 13, 2003 10:16 PM (GMT)
i think youll like ns 2.01. they literally cripple the aliens.

-to evlolve, aliens need ti be near hive
-hive cost more
-movement doesnt teleport you to hive anymore




theres more but i forgot about the rest.

chikichicky - August 14, 2003 12:56 AM (GMT)
but on voogru server is 2.0 still right? so is the new patches good or bad :\ I haven't seen them yet o.O I'm getting the hang of 2.0 a bit... still need to play more... aliens still win majority of teh ratio @.@ lol

OMFG_ILC - August 16, 2003 10:23 AM (GMT)
NS 2.0 is still a disappointment, and there still is a lot of crappy servers to play on.

chikichicky - August 17, 2003 12:19 AM (GMT)
4 beta patches in 2 weeks!!! argh too much... @.@

DEsoLAToR - September 14, 2003 06:02 AM (GMT)
Im the ultimate noob At ns =D it confuzors me to the max

Sturmtruppe - September 15, 2003 02:18 AM (GMT)
for me its pretty easy with the eay to read on screen displays.
the thing that took me longest to learn was about the blue circles on the ground, turns out that they're scanner sweeps.

DEsoLAToR - September 15, 2003 03:48 AM (GMT)
I h8 NS!!!! I changed my settings for my game on that and it changed my hl settings. My awp scope used to be a full screen Now its a circle scope Woe is me i suck now without my fav weapon awp.

chikichicky - September 20, 2003 12:08 PM (GMT)
:( ouchies... NS was confusing for me as well when I first started out... I lost interest in it pretty fast... at first... but I decided to give it another shot... now the interest has died again :(

OMFG_ILC - September 21, 2003 07:05 AM (GMT)
it didnt help people's interest that 2.0 changed lots of elements to the game, but they released like 6 patches afterwards! Different servers with different patches, and people trying to mod it doesn't really cut it. Steam's lack of offical support for NS will also be harming people's interest in the game as well.

chikichicky - September 23, 2003 04:39 AM (GMT)
I think there's a final 2.01 but only with bug fixes and such.. there's still the final final to come out.. with the game play elements set...

OMFG_ILC - September 23, 2003 06:35 AM (GMT)
yay! for more patches :noway:

chikichicky - September 25, 2003 11:55 AM (GMT)
Does NS work on Steam yet?

not 100% yet


i can play but it has lag issues and popup menus dont werk

OMFG_ILC - October 2, 2003 02:53 PM (GMT)
down with Steam!!! die steam die!!! :chopchop:

chikichicky - October 6, 2003 02:38 PM (GMT)
ouch, well hopefully... it'll become an official supported mod of Steam :\ or else, Valve is going to lose more of it's users... :\ I wonder how long they're going to hold off on the bug fixes... I'm getting so many goddamn updates that aren't even officially mentioned on the Steam website.. To me it's very aggrivating and suspicious. After start up, I don't get much of a chance to stop it because it finishes before right before I click cancel... I think I'm just going to stay logged off... :\
