I just tried it out and I enjoy the PS but it isnt that balanced so I try to avoid it. I'll use it if im down to < 20 hp. I haven't gotten use to wall holding and seem to fall at the worst possible times while attempting to see what the enemy is doing.
I find it fairly easy to catch glimpses of the hidden which is fairly fun. I hate camping for him and prefer to hunt. It is much more enjoyable.
The shotgun can kill the Hidden in 1 hit. Knife takes 3 hits to kill. Pig Stick is not imbalanced.

can is the key word here. Realize that a point blank shotgun blast can do anywhere from like 15 to 110 damage

Tips for everyone when you're playing the Hidden :
- Don't try to use the pig stick all the time, it is rather sucky. Use slashes,you kill a full health marine with 3 slashes.
-Use your grenades wisely.Use aura to look for bunched together marines and then give them a nice headringing. I mostly use the grenades at the start of the match though, it's pretty easy to get to the startpoint with like 2-3 pounces and then rain some boomsticks on them.
-Cling to walls and jump of off them. People will have a hard time seeing you.
What Peewi said. Sticking to walls is pouncing into a wall and hitting pounce again.
I'm honestly not clear on exactly how wall sticking works, but what works for me is to pounce straight at the wall (not at an angle) and keep pressing forward and hit the pounce button again when you hit it. Note that sticking to a wall steadily drains your energy.

Ahh yes sweet, ok cause see I was just running around pretending to not be noticable and stab people.
Walking around tended to make me feel so much more vulnerable.
although every server I've been on seems to have a hidden who saves me for last
Because your habit of calling out every trace of movement you can see, hallucinatory or no, tends to bring the entire remainder of the team to your position in a manner of seconds.
This is not good on a server where instant kills are so unreliable.

I was trying to throw a barrel at a person today and I did 10 damage to him with it! I was also told "Learn 2 Physics newb!" True story. Anyone have any tips on how to physics?

From what I understand, stabbing the object is much more effective.
I think they should allow the hidden unlimited wall-holding and have him slowly regenerate his health.
We had unlimited wall-holding and pouncing in beta 2. Let's just say it wasn't fun for the IRIS. Like at all.
And you can get health back. If you kill an IRIS with a normal slash,so his body stays intact, you can slash the body like 5 times or so and get 5hp back for every slash. You basically feed on it.
It's why I only use a pig stick once or so and then just slash. Because slashing is not so much hit and miss and I can later pin the body to a wall/ceiling (ok you can do that with the gibs too...) and then feed on it.

shhhhh
I totally see him every time
Haha, the one time I was hidden last night, i was hidden up in the rafters, and I'm pretty sure I heard you say "he's over there!" and you shot at the sand. And other people just started shooting anywhere.
I fucking played this game for 2 and a half maps and I didn't get to be the hidden once!
I waited the whole time doing damage, even killing him about 3-4 times and people that have gone 4-5x as the hidden ARE ONCE FUCKING AGAIN THE HIDDEN!
Like I'm beginning to think, this game has no final resolve nor does it have any general direction of substantial foundation or core.
I mean come on guys, I literally waited an hour and 10 minutes to be the hidden once and I never ever ever ever got to.
Iowa couldn't fucking stop laughing at me, it was pretty funny and ridiculous at first, but after the 20th time I hadn't been him it got frustrating as all hell.
If I go home tonight and I'm not the hidden at all again, fuck this game, I'm going to go blow people up in TF2.

That's happened to me a few times. Zot sounds so confident yelling about where I am when I'm not even close.

might play some more Gmod
we need to get more PAers playing that too
we have a server, well, i think we still do?
hopefully.
Ill come play.
With this.
Despair.
The shotgun can kill the Hidden in 1 hit. Knife takes 3 hits to kill. Pig Stick is not imbalanced.
Any major changes since then?

Yes. Ask everyone. I do. I admit it I am making my character invisible.
I literally JUST started playing this and I'm wondering how you pounce about and land on walls and such?
I mean I've gotten the pigstick and aura view down, but when it comes to pouncing do you have to duck + jump while ducking or what?
Check your keybindings. It's middle mouse button by default.

It's got great potential as a major mod, it just needs a few tweaks and polishing.

I choose to blame everyone else for my crappy playing

I was having dudes just walk right by me while I was crouching on a staircase on that british server we just played on.

like I've had to slash an iris about 7 times to kill him
I've been running into an IRIS from behind slashing and have not a single one register.
