Me, everytime I sincerely try to engage with the game:

Post by BONERMASTER » #623688




The latest warm feeling I got was just yesterday, when I was playing detective on the roleplaying server. I was entering the airlock to the brig room, when suddenly a security officer and a botanist punk came sprinting down the hallway. The security officer bumps into me and swaps places, the botanist fires a dart which hits me, and then runs away just as quickly. Within 30 seconds, I am turned into a slime and permanently removed from the game. This feature is called "advanced mutation toxin", and all you have to do to get it is grind up black slimes. It takes a whopping 1u injection to achieve that effect, and it is virtually unstoppable.

Roleplaying server by the way. If you punks think this is roleplaying, then I'll be roleplaying as cuban pete and "accidentally" destroying your funny little departments where you get this stuff, and maybe you too if this "accident" gets particularly "unlucky".

if you're trying to say xenobiology isn't good then you're preaching to the choir buddy

Yeah, xenobio has some pretty cool stuff but sadly coders have nerfed or removed some of the more fun items. Sounds like you got unlucky; a very rare case indeed.

Xenobiology has well-earned its position alongside Virology, Genetics, and Chemistry in the list of most-hated departments.

Genetics has three possible states:

Overpowered bullshit that's too easy to get that regularly ruins everything
Overpowered bullshit that's hard to get but then it occasionally shows up and ruins everything
Nerfed into oblivion and a waste of time because it has nothing good no matter how hard you work

It never stays in one of those categories for THAT long but it's always one of them

Aren't coders afraid to add anything to it now? We're at the point where the only genetics content is old genes being split into two. Cant wait for hulk to get split into green stun resist skin and strong arms

It's not much to do with genes and all to do with genetics gameplay itself being offensively boring

I mean, this sounds like more of a problem with Xenobiology than with Manuel as an RP server.
