anyway. What they should really do is make it ezer for himmies. Insted of making 1.2 they need to make 2.0...new weapons, aliens...maybe car and trucks for hummies. Just to make it more fair. Then you can also add the 1.2 fixes into 2.0. That would have been the smarter idea. And that would be a reason to be pumped
I think you just dismissed yourself.

You need to stop focussing on me, I'm starting to blush.

+ OPTIMUS +

you're such a cute and predictable symbol of an elite online moron that i feel a must to mention you in every single posts of mine, i am sorry but it's a status of yours, nothing personal.

the positive side of this is that you are always providing new english words that i've never heard before, so I'm forced to use online dictionaries day by day - therefore i can train my otherwise poor english knowledge.

the on-topic side of this is the fact that people are used to forget that they were once younger than they actually are.
to scourge the weak is not a nice thing.
even on the internet.

tesla's anyone?

Acctually, I do like that feature...

1.1 made teslas crap, but if they don't rely on the DC then they would be more useful.

I always thought that a mixture of rets and teslas was a good idea, but once the dc goes down, your stuffed.

Perhaps if they made it so that teslas only required the DC to be built, but could function without it.

Also, as was mentioned somewhere else, I think that the research idea is a really good one, but I think keep the stages. You know, like you can research things in s1, then more things in s2 and then the same for s3.

Also, S4 FTW!!! :D

If you build a 1.1 style base, your are doomed.  The dretches will just walk in.
If however, you build a 1.2 style base,  I have seen plenty that can't be touched by anything at s1 short of a goon suicide.
You need to build differently.
You also need to play a few proper games on both sides before we listen to you.  There are a *lot* of changes.
Hrm, I was wondering if you might have a few tips on what a 1.2 base looks like. Do you have any screenies? Is there a new thread about it I wonder.

kevlarman

in general you want defenses spread out with turrets covering each other, teslas are useful for keeping maras/dretches out, and in general you want to avoid camping at all costs because no amount of builders can keep up with 2 +goons sniping your base.

Slow turrets? Have you been in alien side? If there is no human on humans base, you can pretty much solo all turrets. If there is 1 guy, its damn had to do same damage - if you get trapped, boom, you are dead. Turrets dont make slow damage at all times, they do now like instant kill. 150 hp to 0 in half a second if you dont move, thats reality and humans should use it. At s1 and s2, human should block alien movement, turrets do the rest.


Where i can find list of differences between trem 1.1 and 1.2?

Thanks for actual information as to how you are adapting, as opposed to useless whining about something which easily could have been considered a flaw in 1.1 (that is, how amazingly easy and boring the turrets were to camp). It was bound to get changed, and I care more about how to deal with it, than what the average Nexuiz player thinks about it.

Cheers!

I meant 'die' as in, game over, you lose, your base got eaten.

I heard a while ago that in 1.2 Teslas are available without the DC, but that the DC allows for self repairing and a few extra additions. Is this true?

Atom Eve

Yup. Teslas are self-sustaining, and DC provides structure repair.

Aliens healing slower away from the base is is like a giant compared to rets shooting with delay. Don't quote me on this, but I think dretches can't kill bulidings anymore.

dretches can't kill defensive structures after they have finished building (it was discovered fairly quickly that dretches could take down human baseses with relative ease), they can however destroy all structures that are still building, making them dangerous during base moves.
