Topic: Invisible Skin

Recently I've developed a completely invisible skin for me and my friends to play with. I'm considering to release it to the community, but would first like to collect opinions about if people would see it as a too great advantage, would consider it cheating or simple wouldn't like the idea. As a thought experiment I came up with some issues:

- using the skin will allow you to become invisible, but others using it will be invisible as well.

- not downloading the skin won't allow you to become invisible, but will show all other invisibles as normal tees

So either:

- everybody would download it to get the advantage, and we would get one happy world of invisible tees

- nobody would download and this post would be pointless

So what is your thought on this matter? Which direction would the community take as a whole in your opinion?

Please note that if people actually would use it it could be combined with invisible game.png to make everything invisible. This would add a 'stealth' aspect to the game, but could also change things too much. Therefor I suggest we keep it theoretical, I'm purely interested in what would happen? (To download, or not to download?)

Well as you mentioned, it only effects people who have downloaded the skin. I personally wouldn't download an invisible skin. I mean really, what is the point?

Why would somebody keep the skin after they realise some players are invisible?

Re: Invisible Skin

What's the whole point of this skin anyway? It's not even cheating, so even cheaters won't be satisfied. xD
Might be funny for some minutes in LAN games, but I guess after that it's only annoying.

Re: Invisible Skin

This are indeed valid points, but just as a hypothesis, what if let's say 80% community would adapt an invisible skin? Wouldn't that create an advantage of being invisible to 80% instead of the advantage of seeing all those invisible skins because you don't have it?

It's a personal preference I guess, either you take the advantage of being invisible, or the advantage of seeing those that are invisible.

Re: Invisible Skin

You won't ever get 80% of the community to download this thing, so there's no advantage using this skin. No really, there isn't.

Re: Invisible Skin

Could you do an invisible map and invisible weapons, too? I'd like to play with nothing but my imagination.

Question? search function
Short movies? Lappi's link loft

But that would never happen. As for which one I would choose, I would go with having no invisible skins at all.

Re: Invisible Skin

lol, but it isn't really invisible but if the weapons would be invisible too on a invisible map you are owning the pros

Re: Invisible Skin

lol What do you mean "developed" and "release it to the community"? I think we all know EXACTLY what this skin looks like, or doesn't, and it really wouldn't be that much of an advantage as you always have a gun.
