Thing Skins

Selection: Select a Thing skin which you cannot change for 10 minutes?

Queen:

Slower movement speed
Longer attack range

The Thing is better in tight spaces and close combat. It would need to burrow more often.

Roach:

Lower attack damage
Higher health

The Thing can confront large groups, taking out at least one before having to retreat.

Hydralisk:

Faster movement speed.
Lower attack damage.

The Thing could eliminate solo players more easily. It could also pick off from groups.

Lurker:

Faster burrow movement speed.
Longer burrow time.
Faster burrow regeneration.
Slower movement speed.

The Thing would need to burrow all the time now. Burrowing would be a more convenient approach though.

Brutalisk:

Slower attack speed.
Faster health regeneration.

The Thing would recover faster, allowing it to exhaust the players.

Ultralisk:

Cleave damage.
Higher health.
Slower health regeneration.

The Thing would be effective against groups.

Fantastic... If you want to kill deception. You give players infinite micro opportunities that they will never get bored of, you will NEVER in the future be able to promote deception, especially when it is pretty clear that these forms will have to be balanced perfectly against marines.

Yes.

This looks so awesome to experience,but sadly nobody plays thing anymore so this will not be as fun as it use to be

You do not play enough to make that comment.

Probe, stop being a Debby Downer and let the game progress.

I think the idea looks great and I like the way in which you're doing it Vic, keep up the good work.

I was not negative nor positive. I simply stated a point that is 100% true. In this instance, because development has grinded to a halt (from what I can tell), it may be a positive thing to get something, ANYTHING out. But regardless, it will still make it extremely hard to promote deception.

Depends on what you're after. Vic, since you most likely saw this post via an update from email and I'm too lazy to pm you, we should really look at putting out the Liberty Update. I understand that everything would be mostly aesthetic, but it would be nice to have it in the game because it would give me incentive to update another map/ start a new one (with real effort). At the moment it feels like I'm sitting on work I've done and I can't do anything until its out.
