I decided to call it quits with good ol' xono. Had very fun for a few years, but recently i've had exactly no interest to play. I've learnt that one should never say never, i'll definitely check the game out on 1.0, if it goes that far.
You guys been incredible, best scene of all FPSes by far!
My special thanks to ZeRoQL providing all kinds of unforgettable shit during the years, from reversion cup bronze match to all the random duels on AEROWALK! Ok you might have played some other map too every now and then with luck
I've had a lot of my old UT friends wake up from many years, almost a decade of coma, re-activated on UT4, so if anyone ever decides to have a trip on foreign games, add thimoe on UT4 to your friends list! =) i will accept whenever the friends list gets implemented on linux port.

Totally agree. Engine runs like an overweight pig, doesn't look all that good even, and the development has no real direction. I'm willing to bet this sucker doesn't make it out of the door, at least not by Epic. Wouldn't be surprised if they just turn the reigns over to the community completely and say "Have at it!".
I haven't known you for too long nor did we play alot, but you were one of the most humble guys in this community, and you did alot for the community over the years.
I hope to see you again if this game ever reaches 1.0, and I wish you alot of fun on UT4.
You better stay on #xonotic.pickup though, for chitty chat. =)
ye, you got bored as well as many other players too.. problem is that Xonotic has very slow development.. It's been under development for 5 years and still there's a lot to do.
I hope you had a bit of fun by watching my crap videos..
take some rest and come back later!

that's why so many players are inactive. They're not gone for good but just playing some LoL or Overwatch instead for now.
Afaik, Xonotic is moving to a new engine, so nice. This game has a real potential to be very popular but it has to go on Steam.
There's no other way unless you want Xonotic to be as it is right now.. few servers active... some defrag runners and some DM in the evening.
Make it as Quake Live. I hope Xonotic can take over Quake Live and that would be huge. So again, Xonotic must be seen on Steam. People just want to click that green install button. They don't want to deal with download, unrar, find an exe file, run it. They just want to invite friends, play a game and have fun. There's no "but Steam is not OpenSource or any other reason". IF not Steam, the game won't get popular, never.
however... there's a lot to do for now:
DM - I enjoy it a lot, because I dominate there.
TDM - Fun
Duel - My specialty
Cups - The only reason I practice duels.
then something I haven't tried yet - Insta, DeFrag.

It took A LOT of ini tweaks for me to get UT4 to run right. A ton of the stuff I did to the ini involved copy/pasting from Toxikk, UT2k4, and UT99. A ton of other stuff involved making common sense value changes and disabling things that weren't even visible or noticeable in game to begin with. Out of the box, the game is unoptimized as hell, even for a pre-alpha.

even for pre-alpha???? you are kidding me? it hasn't reached even beta yet.
I play it on ultra, 60FPS with GTX 960.
I hope wel'll meet again. Here or in another game.
