In Wow, there is a problem with balancing each race. Therefore battles were problematic. A server with a huge population then i guess it "could" be balanced but if it is not. than 100 sapians versus 20 alternates would be quite unfair. From the look in the clan page, a heavy amount of sapien loving. It feel like WWII all over agian :P anyhow, does anyone feel that this could be another problem dev should look into?

PvtJhon · 09-02-2006, 04:12 PM

Ya, but in WW2 the germans also had the best kill ratio per man. I'm sure they could do that planet side is and make a handy cap. That would be awesome. 20 guys strong as a 100 with 100 guys attacking them.

Briareos · 09-02-2006, 05:02 PM

Yeah, this is when you notice real leadership and skill that separates you from the rest.

Fendori · 09-02-2006, 08:05 PM

Maybe you get pet monsters on your team :lol:

Sitaavanu · 09-02-2006, 08:24 PM

just as an oddball thought. You know the hybrids have been kinda unanounced and such they may put in a few hybrid npcs pitted agaisnt your opponents if your on the lower numbers side. Say you have a battle of

100 sap
30 alts
50 hybrids

hybrids attacking the saps.

PvtJhon · 09-02-2006, 08:29 PM

Ya, thats an easy solution to.

Ya that sounds pretty cool. Then if you over whelm them the Hybrids tunr on you LOL but with less numbers

30 alts
35 - 40 Hybrids

In story wise though, being Saps is kinda like being nazis in a way :P *just a random thought

Markus · 09-02-2006, 10:48 PM

im thinking if its a uneven battle , they will just say dont get shot. kill more of them then they kill you. As patton said in the movie PATTON " no poor bastered ever won a war by dieing for his country, he won it , by making the other poor bastered die for HIS country " in this case i think it would be race though.

ZGhostZ · 10-02-2006, 01:12 AM

That maybe so but thats one off my main concerns aswell couse you can see what a population difference can mean in MMOFPS just install Planetside and wait untill 1 party has 70 % off the pop on a continent It make 's a huge difference and this party will whipe any opposition

Soul_Stopper · 15-02-2006, 04:34 PM

Yeah but if u watched the trailer for huxley then u'd notice how only 3 alts were takin out 40 sapiens and only loosing one alt soo...30 alt's vs 70 sapiens wouldnt be all that bad since alt's do kick ass dmg :twisted:

winged · 15-02-2006, 06:40 PM

as far as i know there is no racial abilities... this means that right now the alt's are already at a mild disadvantedge :(

what am i talking about? look at the size of those alt's their a good bit bigger then the sapiens thus easyer to hit :(

btw, what happened to grenades? thats how i woulda started the fight in the cinimatic, toss a grenade in there and see if they come running our or die where they stand.

oh yea and that 70% of the pop thing... well that does not always help, if you play on the vs side i got to participate in a battle yesterday that we have 70% of the pop however it took up 4 hours to take one base and we only took it because we drove it neut... i wanted to kill every one of the vs zerglings i saw sitting afk or standing in the hallways noty pushing forward... i am still upset about that.

Agent · 15-02-2006, 07:40 PM

Well maybe...MAYBE, the Sapien marine force wanted that doctor alive :P. But yeah, i think people would start using Rocket Launcher first than go with machine gun later :P

winged · 15-02-2006, 07:55 PM

lol i actualy think the perfect opener would be the delayed action sniper rifle thing.... good lord hearing someone get hit with that and the countdown start while all 3 of ya are pinned down in the same cover...

they should make it so that if you tk the person the guy does not detonate, shoot one of those slugs and watch the tk wars begin!

LMAOROTF

could you imagen that? i am loven the idea of it and i am not a particuler fan of sniping!

Markus · 15-02-2006, 08:24 PM

im thinking the alts DO get some diff stuff that sets them apart from the sapiens, maybe some raciel stuff ( tho not alot ) and diff tech. if you havent noticed, no sapiens have the kick ass armor the alts have.

Landain · 16-02-2006, 01:01 AM

The only advantage that I have seen mentioned in the Fileplanet Article is that Sapiens: One can learn/adapt to Driving or Piloting skills faster than any of the other three races. (Assumes Hybrids remain NPC) The important point is that the game is not done and Webzen is being very secretive about their end product.

Guyver · 16-02-2006, 01:27 AM

This game reminds me alittle of starcraft. I know you guys feel it too. Sapiens are the Terran. Alts are the Protoss because they have glowing armor and nice ninja-ish moves. And of course---- mutants are the hellish souless army of oprah called the Zerg.

Oh boy I wish Mutants can be a picked race. Ripping people in half and seeing blood everywhere brings drool to my mouth. Not that I'm pshyco or anything....

IM NOT CRAZY!

Agent · 16-02-2006, 01:35 AM

hmm protoss? not "exactly" :P But the glowing thing could be a power generator of some sorts. Maybe agianst Lunarites poisioning or maybe augmenting someone strength, kinda like a DRUG. Sorry it aint soma kids :P

Guyver · 16-02-2006, 01:43 AM

Maybe it's lights that pulse to music like the one's in my car.

"Dont break my heart, My ackey breaky heart..."

Soul_Stopper · 17-02-2006, 12:46 AM

The Alts will definatly have either more health or way better armor that can take loads of damage because otherwize they'd just be targets for sapien snipers cause they're so big so yes i think that the alts will get more of a brute force feel while the sapien more of a spread out co-operative feeling
otherwize having 60 smaller targets agenst 60taller targets w/ the same amount of protection is what i call unfair.
