Stage Advancement Suggestion

[Odin]

I think stage advancement should be cumulative. For example, Stage 2 would cost 4(per player) kills, as normal, but Stage 3 would cost twice as many kills, instead of being the same amount. I don't think there is enough time of being in Stage 2 for it to matter much. In a regular 1v1, I get Stage 2, then Stage 3 about 4-5 minutes later.

stage 2 and 3 has BIG DIFFERENCE ('cept for me, I don't use adv goon, tyrant, lucy. But I do use battlesuit)
So i think I agree with you

[Dersaidin]

Stage two doesnt realy do much for aliens, imo.
Maybe a S4 would be nice.

Adv Tyrant - more health
Lucifer cannon upgraded - second clip

Now, this is some awesome balance :roll:

The only usefull alien stage up is s3.

Alien S2 is shit compared to human S2

adv maras are soooo worth it tho

[Rippy]

Aliens:
s1: has goons, which pretty much beat all s1 hummies unless they're good with shotties/chainguns
s2: has adv maras, which are good, but nothing compared to the flamer, prifle and helmet the hummies have
s3: tyrants and adv goons, basically the aliens' best stage. pretty much equal to s3 hummie upgrades

imo I think aliens should get something else at s2 to make it a stage that's worth something (right now, I only notice it when I'm a builder or when I specifically want to be adv mara), and hummies should have maybe slightly cheaper chainguns to combat goons.

Agree.

I reckon the best solution is to buff adv basalisk. Its kind of a wasted species. Got nothing realy.

[techhead]

Bump chaingun and dragoon to s2.
Bump flamethrower to s3.
Replace lucifer cannon with a RPG, which everyone uses it for anyways.
Replace basilisk gas with acid spitting (similar to acid tubes)

Adopt some or all of my ideas, or at least reflect on them.

[Stof]

Bump adv goon to stage 2???

More like bump Goon to stage 2

Now, you do that and let me tell you aliens will never again say stage 2 is weak compared to humans.

[techhead]

Fixed.

[holyknight]

that means you can only play as mara, bas, and dretch in S1...? A lot of people will argue with that :/

[Stof]

Yeah, and stage 1 humans have absolutly no protection against good goon players either. Not like you see us complain.

Oh wait! I do complain about that a lot

Hey, I've got an idea : let's switch the adv basi and the goon around. That way, maybe we'll see some use for the adv basi in the end.

[techhead]

Thats why I also bumped the chain-gun to s2.

Remove dretch ground headshots and make adv goons stage 2.

Edit: I'm basing this off how I remember gameplay before ground headshots were really popularized.

you kinda need ground headshots to stand a chance against players with good aim and low ping (*cough*unlagged*cough*).
