Quote: Wrong game for this, as the pol results clearly show. You could of-course use Xonotic base for sth like this, with its mutator system its fairly easy to make game changing mods in just a few lines.What do you think of the idea Lord Canistra brought up, which is to have alternative settings, the player can chose from?

Quote:NO FUCKING WAY.Are you referring to the "P.S."? That was more a joke than a real request, you're talking to a DOOM addict here, I even need a minigun to make scrambled eggs for breakfast
Period. I don't have more time to explain, but that heavy machinegun you've might seen in a video is not a new weapon per se, ...

Quote:Your 'more fun' approach is just frightening. I understand that all the previous players, many of which came here from Nexuiz and stayed with the game for years, don't see a slightest problem in existing weapon made dish.I guess it's hard for the core team to decide on what to put in and what to leave out, which is perfectly understandable as everything takes a lot of work and I bet there's some "Nexuiz nostalgia" involved. However, the first official release should be clearly distinguishable from NEXUIZ, since most new players will not be interested in 1.) who programmed the game and 2.) what the history of xonotic is. So it might well be, that people might just say: "Same as Nexuiz, less players online, WTF is a race? OMG I'm not gonna wait half an hour until it's my turn in 1on1 DM just to get pwned! GOODBYE"
But as you're moving towards real release, it's time for core team to decide - whether they're making some kind of "elite" FPS or a game that everyone can enjoy.
