Xenomorph event is the same exact formula. Sit in your department for 2 hours, barricading the place. Fear RP. Go home after the admin-sent team kills everything that has a carapace. Nobody ever has fun in these except engineers and Security, as well as whoever got to be part of the admin-sent team. Xenomorphs are, as well, dated code that nobody is interested in maintaining. Please stop running these.

It was a Xeno round, a completely boring, forgettable and samey xeno round, the fact these are classified as events is frankly, a joke. There was no real effort put into the event itself, a random shuttle bangs into the station and xenos run out, that was it. Due to the fact, the xenos were compromised of last-minute volunteers, the xenos didn't have any script or anything to go off of besides "be xenos", this resulted in basically anyone who wasn't near security/cargo/engineering to hide in their forts was doomed. Legion was called instead of ERT, not sure why, I guess it was explained to the command characters? I seriously struggle to rate this event, there was not much of an event at all. Honestly, there would be no difference if a xenoarch found a random xeno egg in an extended round to this. None of this was really an "Event", it was just a rare gamemode. So tl;dr one star, it was another generic xeno round with a barebones IC justification and no real flavor or creative spin to it, ending with a legion summon so the dead upset ghosts stop being AS upset. The only real comment I saw on it from staff was from Yonni that "The expectation was that a lot of people get facehugged roundstart and the survivors RP", but honestly I could just play cult and get the same result. But in cult the people who are trying to kill me, actually talk to me.
Rosetango July 7, 2019 4 of 5 members found this review helpful 4 / 5 members Paradox has stated everything I would have said. Xenomorphs suffer from the same formula problem. They are a mob that was never made for HRP. They cannot even engage in RP, only the Queen can. You sit in a barricaded place for two hours and wait for: death, or to be saved. It's the same base formula. If xenomorphs were to receive a massive overhaul, like CM scale overhaul, then maybe we could implement them but that level of an overhaul is literally impossible with our current dev team.
