Vic, you've made a few hotfixes recently... whats in them? What have you and the others been working on recently?
Sure is amazing how this game is still truckin' along. Several things come to mind regarding the new update:
Maps:
- Ragnov is disjointed in too many sections. Simply put, there are too many dead ends. There is no real reason to go to dead ends without important buildings unless you want to get raped.
- Baguio can go fuck itself as always
- Liberty seems to be the best map.
All in all, the extra decorations are nice, but it makes it harder to see the pathing. It's a bit clusterfuck. Haven't seen Sahara yet because no one chooses Sahara.
Abilities:
- The hook is a very nice touch. It can make a whole world of difference and is hard to land.
- Abduct is also a sensible addition as it makes it easier to 1v1 marines.
Health:
- Thing health increase seems to make sense and is beneficial.
- Why was marine health increased to 60?
- Increase in health makes the grenade feel very underwhelming. A good grenade to center of Thing's mass should be very punishing. Also, marines being one-shot with grenade feels much more satisfying.
I would rather have Thing have lower life and higher armor that it mysteriously gained before, which doesn't apply to grenades and flame-thrower. Making him tanky to simple gunfire but fear weapons.
Game-Breakers:
I always pick Sixth Sense for my perk and right now it is too OP. Honestly it feels almost on par with Thing's ability to see marines. The most broken part of the perk is that you can see pinging of where the Thing is burrowed. Thing should be undetectable by radar when burrowed.
That is all for now, stop pestering me to write Vic. lol

What about giving the thing an enrage ability which increases his attack speed?
When is the newest update coming out?
Haaay vicboy! what are you working on now?
