List of things I think could be fixed/changed

Skatoony · 09-03-2007, 03:20 PM

Okay, I do love this game, but there's a few things that are really getting to me and thus, mean I won't play online until the most annoying are resolved.

- The path finding is terrible. Most of the time when I'm attacking or when I'm NOT attacking, my units are just wondering all over the place. When it comes to attacking bases, most of my units won't attack because they're just trying to find a way to move. This is a major issue for online play.

- Attack/Defend/None setting could do with some tweaking as the following:

Attack: If the units see an enemy, they charge for it and continue attacking if any other enemy is in range. However, if the player wants the units to move somewhere, the units should prioritise the player over the enemy.

Defend: When the enemy comes into a specific range (eg, half-way from their full view) they will attack the enemy (instead of waiting until they're right next to them as that is totally pointless). When the enemy is destroyed, they will go back to where they were originally placed.

- AI Bugs

It appears the AI doesn't always "work". When I play a game vs the computer (for getting used to the game and such), sometimes I find the computer produces very little resources and buildings. I have to stick the computer onto hard before it will make a full-sized base but then it's a little too difficult for me (I am new to RTS games afterall).

Any comments? No flaming please, these are just my 2 cents.

I hope someone from KDV can read this.

Thanks!

Ya I think the AI is probably the worst bug, especally the defence stance where they have to be right next to them to attack. A few other annoying things tho:

How the remenents have to build 10 of those stupid sanctuarys to max their pop, I think it should be more like 5, because I dont like having to use most of my land building houses that dont do anything.

The acention's legonary infantry are the worst base infantry unit in the game vs the marines and spawn, Its ironic when they get turned into spawn its actually an upgrade. So I dont build then because they get slaughtered in like 1 hit from everything.

A few things I think could be added on the rements side would be better effects for tank and artillery fire, all they really do now is make a clack sound and shoot a puff of smoke. And a tracer effect for the mauraders's miniguns would look good.

Only other thing I can think of right now is that there isnt many skirmish maps or a map editor, and that there isnt any options for skimish like selecting a starting point.

Once aegin just some opinions. I dont know if those are things that could actually be fixed but I though I might as well mention em.
Also they said theres supposed to be a patch coming out soon, anyone know when its going to be out, or if it is already?

The Russian patch is already out, so hopefully the USA/European patch will be out very soon.
