Well, things look good for the third beta. Two major issues are tackled in this one:
- Pounce speed while carrying the flag
The isue with the pounce is the fact that an alien carrying the flag can still pounce across half the map, and thus score way to easy. So easy it actually turns the pounce ability into a game breaker. Sugestions started to pour during last week's tests, which included removing the pounce ability all together. What this beta tries to test is a limited pounce speed for flag carrying aliens. - Flag icon
It's really a simple, tiny icon:
But I bet it makes a lot of difference. One of the issues this mod needs fixing is the feedback towards the player. Something to let you know you have the flag, for example. Or that somebody is attacking your objective. This little white icon promises to fix the feedback for the flag carriers.
And yes, we still need beta testers. Dark_Raver9 joined the beta group, and we hope we'll have several other people joining.
