Advanced Basilisk

[AKAnotu]

basis are fun to play as on small servers, but pale in the face of large servers. they are the superninjamonkeyassasins of the aliens and should be treated as such. darklegion however, made them pointless. the low health of the adv basi is a problem, even if the good players never get caught and the gas is even more pointless then this: the adv marauders are normally to buisy jumping around to lightning something, and the accuracy sucks, but back on topic. the adv basilisks should be an instant headkill, and have the ten second camoflauge, even if they cost three, it would be totaly worthwile. they should also get a better jump for groups of humans, and a smokescreen would be better than gas, so they can make a getaway

I have to say, my opinion on basilisks has changed since playing with ExistentialRisk. That dude almost always plays a basi and omfg does he own some major ass. The regulars on Yaknet are pretty good IMO but they still get owned by this guy. I've even seen him take down turrets as a basi. Freakin nuts. Basi's are incredible if you know how to use them.

Even if he's good with a Basilisk, the Adv Basilisk is far too underpowered for it's cost.

And anyway, it's not because some people have good results with underpowered classes that we shouldn't improve them. I was able to score first on my team at the time we reached stage 2 while using exclusively the blaster. It doesn't mean the blaster is a very good weapon

I agree, being good at an underpowered class doesn't mean the class doesn't need a boost. I'm just saying, the basi isn't really as bad as this thread makes it seem. The gas definitely needs reworked but otherwise, the basi is just fine. Maybe change the color so the thing doesn't stand out like snow in Florida but really, the gas is the only major problem with the basi.

I disagree that the gas is the only issue. The adv basi is just weak all-round compared to its counterpart, the mara. Either the gas needs to be greatly improved to make it counterbalance the rest, or the adv basi should get some slight boosts in several categories, notably attack, texture colour, or speed.

Or, boost its speed a little, and make it so that it never makes any noise when moving. I could live with that, so long as gas was made useful also.

I don't like gas, there should be no gas, there should be some else instead

Having an Adv basilisk kill humans with gaz is like killing dretches with a blaster in a battlesuit. It is an expensive way to kill oponents that only works on complete noobs.
