I am kind of getting tired of hydro hives leading to marine wipes over and over and do not wish to participate in them.
Please provide clarification as to whether the Queen announcing a mandatory hydro hive (especially for one very specific hivelord every time) is a banishable offense, or if it can be opted out by Leaders or at mature rank T3s, circumventing OOC requirements to follow orders.
I know I am not the only one who hates hydro hives with a burning passion.
The Xeno Roleplay Standards Rule Paragraph states:
Freedom:
Aliens have no free will. They are a hivemind, and their purpose is to enforce the will of the Queen and expand the Hive.
Would premature countermeasures (banish) to this inevitable outcome be acceptable?
I also request a clarification as to whether the Queen leading to an extremely swift wipe for a specific squad is grounds for this xeno to be banished and eliminate the Queen who we believe is acting in bad faith in regards to her OOC protection and authority.
Hydro hives versus one marine with an XM-51 and braincells
Would you rather have hydro hive or the usual âcaves siege at cave siege location 1 (or sometimes even cave siege location 2)â into âfob siege at LZ1 (or sometimes even LZ2)â gameplay that LV usually is
I find hydro hives fast paced and fun but they can be countered stupid easy if the marine team doesnt throw
Only reason why marines keep losing to hydro hives is brainrot. Iâll elaborate. Sad thing about the game (although itâs not only this game problem) is that a lot of people play on autopilot. They donât think. I think itâs called apathy. When you start to play the game, you are focused, but sooner or later you find a niche and everything becomes mindless routine. You do what you used to do, without thinking and without focusing. And reason is that most rounds are basically the same. Weâve been there before, over and over.
So what does all this have to do with hydro hives? Well, obviously. Marines apatheticly going to hydro, expecting yet another beach battle. They donât think, they donât expect xenos in hydro, they donât try to expect. They play on autopilot. And this is why they lose. If anything, hydro hives should teach marines to expect unexpected, and as a result, hopefully be more focused.
Hydro and engineering hives are based as fuck, marines just need to grow brains and learn how to assault a 14-14 tile circle that is completely surroundable instead of pushing linear caves and 1 tile chokes
Hydro hive is a terrible strategy and against competent Marines it is a guaranteed defeat. You are fighting marines at their doorstep, no cave CAS or OB cover, while Marines are at their strongest.
It is a literal skill issue if Marines lose to hydro hive
Literally the beno version of the split drop cope topic. So, from what I understand, you want benos to be able to mutiny the queen because marines are too unrobust to counter the queenâs tactic? I would say âmove to acid goopâ if this wasnât in acid goop already. Allow command of both sides to do something interesting instead of ârush meta spot 1, rush meta spot 2, either rush meta spot 3 or get rushed and retreat to FOBâ. And what do you mean clarification, that pretty much sounds as if this was a thing already and just needed clarification instead of a âdo meta tactics or get mutiniedâ-thread.
