Unchained chamber plugin after Beta 6?
The devs/testers have been hinting lately that B6 will contain fixes to alleviate DMS:

If the aliens had multiple viable tech paths that they could branch out into, it would give them a lot more variety than unchained(which still favors a set build order, just to a lesser extent than DMS), and a little variety between games is definitely something the aliens could use right now.

Re: Unchained chamber plugin after Beta 6?
I think that sums up how I feel. I will say that they've got their work cut out for them when it comes to creating something as entertaining as unchained. But then, I play their game every day, so them impressing me wouldn't come as a surprise. Originally Posted by [url=http://www.tacticalgamer.com/showpost.php?p=108882&postcount=1]Wyzcrak[/url]

Indeed. Unchained was created because functionally, DMS was the only choice for an upgrade path for aliens, and that was tiresome. If whatever comes boxed can make the upgrade paths mo' betta', then unchained can take a hike. Originally Posted by Wyzcrak

Re: Unchained chamber plugin after Beta 6?
I'm all for unchained goin out the window if and when the chambers are balanced, viable, and fun to play with. Particularly movement chambers. I am *not* satisfied with "defense or sensory first." All 3 of them full functional and viable, or unchained stays.

Re: Unchained chamber plugin after Beta 6?
I think what we should do is for the first week or so keep the release chained and then try out unchained the week after or something like that. I do feel we should atleast give unchain a decent play through to see if it can still be used.

Re: Unchained chamber plugin after Beta 6?
Neg. Unchained was an answer to a problem (chamber predictability) the NS dev team has claimed to solve with 3.0.
Not unless we decide that claim invalid will we consider re-introducing unchained.Steam Community? Add me. | Join #tacticalgamer | Search Results Legend | New Posts Forum Filter | Postbox Toggle | Live Thread Review | One Line Results | Free Remote, Encrypted Backup

Re: Unchained chamber plugin after Beta 6?
Wow thats scary, i hate when they hold back information, reminds me of the govn't.
And i think we should wait till we reintroduce unchained. But then again, the def. Cham. is most offten then not the first D, and good commanders combat that real well nowa days.Last edited by Black_V!per; 03-05-2005 at 12:07 PM. Reason: Reread thread.

Re: Unchained chamber plugin after Beta 6?
From what I've been told from people that played alot of B6, you can expect alot of sensory first now, as it's much more useful.
