Matchmaking is 8 years late, it should have been introduced many years ago along with an ELO system to compensate. I'm all for gorges having tunnels but it needs to be balanced better, just haven't cared enough to think up a new way for gorges to do this. This change, as much as people hated it helped balance the game more evenly. This is HUGE! The alien win-rate around this time was vastly higher than marine win rates across the board across all servers, including higher tier ones. It is still viable to rush marine start, just need to do pre-planning and more sneaky movement to get there. Since the gorge tunnel change, less observatories have been used on the map and freed up the aliens to setup cheese's without the use of a fast travel option. What this in turn did was make marine commanders spam observatories everywhere across the map to save on scanning constantly. Gorges that can drop tunnels stemmed a problem with players sitting in vents and just dropping tunnels near the marine start to setup a cheese even when they are losing. It means alot and I really hope the devs keep the 9v9 servers in mind (in fact Some of us even miss the old 12v12.
I have more but these are the ones that seem to get the most discussion (although number 3 is a personal pet peeve)FĪgain thank you very much for taking the time to ask about my feedback. If it is kept at 6v6 I beleive it wiill have an overall negative effect on total player population. Im concerned with the upcoming matchmaking system being set to 6v6 Please make this function customizable to include other size games so players can choose. clusters are still a bit too powerful in larger servers. Reasonable tweak for 6-6 but arc usage will soon die on larger servers as they will rarely be worth the investment.ĥ. Supply cap doesn't allow for enough extra structures. If you have a couple forward operating bases as aliens you can forget the old end game strat of contaminating and echoing whips into marine start. Supply caps too low, especially on aliens. Just way to much, the recent exo nerf was too drastic.ģ. Its frustrating enough being limited to infestation but there is nothin worse than after it spreads and finding out you cant find a spot by the cyst because of (over sensitive collision detection?) The function is rather buggy and finding a location that will accept a tunnel is much harder than it should be ( phase gates are very easy and fast in comparison). I can understand if you want to keep this system however the current tunnel drop does not work well as implemented.
Gorge tunnels- Making them commander dropped rather than gorge dropped was a huge change that really reduced the asymmetry of the two teams. I will give you a couple to chew on and many and they are not all recent changes, in fact most of them are cumulative from past patches as well.ġ. Why does the smallest group in the ns2 community have a near monopoly on balance changes?Ĭould it be because its the people you hang out with? I'm interested in having discussion on many of the changes that have been made and discussed at length in public servers in anyone from the dev team is interested in feedback. I am all for having a separate "comp mod" for 6 v 6 but plz undo some of the drastic changes you have made that negatively affect 9v9 servers (by far most desired size) In fact, if you join a pub server and it later drops to 12 players (your desired population) the players will consider the server "dead" and find another server to join. The fact is there are zero, or close to zero 6v6 public servers for a reason, they are not fun for most people. You guys are trying to force this game to be something most players do not want. They tell me they "cannot comment" and must "support the devs decisions for 6v6 balance" and do not seem interested in feedback. I try to give feedback from the perspective of a pub player (vast majority of ns2 players) I have talked to many people who are close to devs about the changes that have been made and are planned for ns2.
