I think there like zombies but fun and well made. The only issues I have is that they tend to go over shadowed by the regular xenos. Either they tend to either be a minor side event out or at worst become so powerfull the marines have to fight a two front war.
I think they much like zombies or WO should be there own event. I think givin the right situation they could become very fun to fight. A greenshift with one pooper that shows up is an easy example.
They seem like there supposed to be an alternative to xenos. Thye got a special infecon machenics and stuff. Special buildings and such. You event special equipment and tactics like gas mask and flamethrowers to deal with them. They seem like they should be the main attraction but there not.
Givin some more devlopment I think they could be a very intresting idea. Instead xenos more defencive type game play neo’s are more moble cause of there lack of walls or queen. But are able to block off areas via spore could marines need to be very carefull with. But at the moment I do think they lack the raw fire power to deal with marines all on there own.
I like the idea that they relie more on large numbers of weaker fighters unlike xeno who mostly reley on there t3’s to do anything.
Also jsut a quick side note. Why does wearing a bio suit with a gas maks not provide me 100% protection aginst spores. The bio suit can withstand xeno acid. This might have been changed by the time of writing this.
From what I have heard, and what I have read (not qouteable), Neos are supposed to be a different hive altogether that you can pick at the start as THE xeno groundside. The reason we see them as a side thing mostly is to test all of the different castes and infections and whatever and see what needs ironing out.
The biosuit and gasmask work as well as the grenadier helmet for hugs, if not maybe a bit worse. But yeah, having the possibility of someone being “hugger” immune would probably be a bad idea. Just say that the pathogen wears down a specific spot in the suit and goes through there.
Well I guess that makes way more sense with being able to pick them.
I mean the suit slows you down a lot and there are only like 3 of them on the enitre ship. The only really time you would see them in use would be inside the lab or with CBRN. But also provide no actual armor so it’s not like they cant jsut kill them.
Also this is not just about what I think about neo’s. But I also want to hear what you all think about them.
i liked zombies 100% more. Who wants another reskined xeno in place of zombies like errrrm. Its not like i dont want more gameplay but like zombies are better imo. Also bring back WO
Fun fact about the Neos and Prime xenoes currently. They cannot talk to eachother. Not only do they have their own hiveminds (mycelian vs psychic), but they actually use different languages that the otherone does not know.
They seem a little overtuned right now. Haven’t played enough with or against them to point out exactly what should be changed, but probably needs a little bit of balancing. Love the infection mechanics, but text that you’ve breathed in the gas should probably be much larger and more noticeable. Very fun change though, interesting to see how they play once they can replace the normal hive. Also, balance will change significantly as a meta develops and people learn how to better utilize their abilities.
They are very fun to fight against but i believe there should be neomorphs vs marines only rounds, xenomorphs kinda ruin the fun by being a distraction.
I really like diversity on the antagonist pool.
This is something that every single SS13 server had nailed down literally years ago: A diversity of antagonic figures makes for diverse round experiences that make the game itself go stale far slower.
Be it Zombies, Borers, CLF, W-Y shenanigans or neomorphs: I’m always happy when the devs are willing to mix into the game more and diverse-er antags other than XX-121 benos or the licenced griefers.
But in all honesty I think that they should be implemented as a nightmare insert because it makes it less expected and it keeps the experience novel.
it’s a shame, I haven’t been able to really interact or play with them so far. I wished a formal neomorph focused event would be run soon, all I got was a glimpse on the round forest TMd it, and that was only after every neomorph but one had died.
Practically the spores are not area denial since every marine proceeds the snort them like a line of cocaine. I think last neo round half the Almayer was infected at all times
Med was the only reason this didn’t happen in the first place. Even then we had quite a few bursts prior to hijack.
Also the whole neomorph thing was peak. There was little indication that you got infected and it was pretty easy to which made it feel like an actual containment breach. The reason that xenomorphs and their variants are so big in lore is because they are really lethal in close quarters and spread like wildfire. This has been toned down for the sake of mechanical balance in CM. Imagine if huggers could insta lunge at you while moving and hugging immediately. Or xenos insta tackling you, tearing you to pieces and then permaing you with a headbite. That’s cannon btw. But it’d make for a real balance challenge. Neomorphs are a lot closer to cannon than xenos and especially the way they spread really ups the stakes in the battle.
Well i think we should be able to make green version of neo’s. Although since neo’s have blight fluid that acts like egg plasma inside each of them it might be much easier.
But on the other hand simply handeling and transporting a dead neo could cause and outbreak so I think it blances out.
Theorticaly a greeno version of neo’smight still be infectous even if they are allied.
Strong but fun, i think it is really unique and brings alot to the table and even tho they are very strong argueably stronger than the prime version, since the PR names it as “EVENT”, i don’t think it will be in the main game but if it is ever an option i would enjoy such addition from both sides, it brings new strategies for marines and new ways to play for xenos, even tho i think they should be tunned down abit if they are going beyond EVENT territory
