    I know they've been fixed, but I find myself in an interesting situation. My team and I are tearing an apex lab down to the bolts at the moment. So were on the roof pulling down panels and I see a bird coming... "Oh hell, here we go...", "Bird!", "Incoming!" We all dive in a hole in the floor to a lower level and wait for it to pass. We wait an extra few moments. "Is it gone?", "Game on?". Is there PTSD for alien birds? Some trauma just can't be forgotten. Maybe with more time.


    Can't wait for them to add some really freak planetary apocalyptic crap to really terrorize us. :metroid:

    I still duck into holes when I see 2 or more birds flying my way. One I'll take you, but start double teaming and my flight response kicks in.

    Never forget the horrors of Birdemic.

    I'm just glad they don't act like they're in Birdemic.
    The kamikaze birds were terrifying. Think you're done with the fight? Too bad.

    I just smack the shit out of them with a melee weapon. It's funny how some of them just plummet...

    We need to make some never forget patches, and maybe take out our pain on the Avians.... It's a great climate for some anti-Kluex sentiment. Just a thought.

    Yo, don't be hating on us Avians. The birds hated us all, man.

    They were vicious.

    Without any provocation, They'd dive down and slash your faces. I've seen a flock of birds take out an entire city once..

    But even at death, They'd tried to kill you. When they were close to death, They'd stop flying and fall on you. Beak first.

    I've apparently become one with my Floran because whenever anything aggros on me I sslip into sstab mode. This includes all winged terrors. It feelss good to destroy them after the off-screen death they inflicted on me~ (o u o) They haven't scared me enough that I won't fight back!

    But speaking seriously, I'm glad to see that passive birds are back. I missed those cute little cat-bat birds that didn't want to hurt you, I'd totally keep one as a pet. Now my starter planet has a little green blob bat that just flies on by. On the other hand, I've also got the black insect with slime vomit and the rejected phoenix-snail huffing it's life-blood onto my face.

    I will say though, when I saw one of the aggressive birds flying over head, I hopped in a hole and stuffed bandages down my throat in preparation for a fight, because I figured it'd aggro on me anyway, haha. They were truly a menace in the previous patch.

    This was to.. memorable. The power it holds to great not to corrupt them.
    The terror will be reborn. The developers can see the fear they have instilled in us through this innocent tweak turned nightmare.

    There will be another. An, /invasion/. Prepare yourselves! The squawking and clucking is neigh!

    They should make a planet randomized with just birds, and they're all "kinda" OP, that only appears in higher armor/weapon tiers... as a throwback to the Birdocalypse..

    They're regrouping.

    Just 5 minutes ago I was shopping in an avian airship. I was with my friends, Family, And I had a ton of money to blow.

    Before I left, At least 10 birds bombarded the airship with bouncing stones and explosives.. The avians tried to fight back, But were ultimately defeated by the swarm of birds.

    Rise now my brothers! We must take a cue from the salarians and make our own genophage at once! You start mining for gold and tech, I'll raid an apex lab for weaponized bird flu!
