What should we focus on. (Page 3 of 3)

Gamemodes such as CTF, TDM and Duels. I would also find some kind of Race/Jump mode VERY satisfying where you have to reach certain speeds and do crazy jumps and use the hook in the most advanced ways.

Actually the serverlist usually shows the correct amount of people, if you use the Refresh button. I agree with you on all other points.

I´d also like too add that compensationg for bad connections due too for example long distance would be among the most important things, since players are scattered all over the world. That has already been mentioned before though.

nice to hear

some minor suggestions:

-join server by double-mouse click

-insert a change-weapon-key to the key-bindings which can be assigned to mousewheel. weapon selection by numbers is to frantic sometimes during the fights
(just saw that this will be in 0.3)

- make a lan-only modus. at the moment one port MUST be forwarded in the firewall to create a server which can connect to the master server. but if you only want to setup a local server this is needless. i live in a student hostel, and i cannot make any changes to the firewall, and i could imagine that i'm not the only one with this problem

-release of the source code would be nice, to get soem idea of game coding

- if you are on the server browser screen, the mouse should not be captured to the programm. in the game the mouse-capture makes sense, but not on the server screen. it's a little bit annoying that you only can switch to other programms bei alt-tab. just had the problem when i wanted to play with a friend on a server. switching to icq via alt-tab all the time isn't nice

- Browser: Make it possible to sort by attributes. Clicking once on a Server
could result in a menu dropping from it which shows players and server settings.
- Bouncy nades and guns: Please not, try to keep it concise.
- Nick registration: Nice thought, but don't make it necessary to have
an account!
- Community/Socialize function: When hitting ESC a menu pops up which
allows you to Quit, Setup, Ready/Unready, Switchteams and most important
Vote in order to change Server settings.
- No-Sign-Timeout for Players after a few minutes -> autokick.
- No console window in the Background on default
- Sourcecode and Documentation of it for the publicity!
- Advancing the Site: Making a guide, calling these forums more obvious to reach
-> Community button, adding ingame shots to give ppl an impression!
<- who wants to DL sth he hasn't seen a thing of!?

For later (harder to implement)
- Spectating and Lobbies for playing/not playing persons
- Maybe demo functions
- Teamplay-supporting Weapons (ill write about this in another fred these days)

please...focus on releasing the next version ^^ doesn't matter if not all the stuff will made into it.

releasing in smaller steps would be nice

a short rant:

rockets!! the downfall of the game. In many games it just become a rocket fest, which (in my opnion) completey ruins the gameplay of teewars. I think the rockets deal out way too much damage per hit (7 damage) and up to 5 damage even for indirect. I think that the high damage of the rockets has led to everyone just rocketing each other, which i admit is extremely satisfying because of the low repition of fire/slow reload time, although in large games it becomes tiresome as rockets completely restrict the acrobiatic nature of movement and negatively effects the otherwise great weapon range of tee wars and results in frustrating gameplay.

Anywayzzz (feelng much better now). I think the game as a whole would benefit greatly by reducing the damage done by the rockets (which is otherwise a great weapon).

Maybe something that could be considered. Im sure many other will disagree.

Rockets are tricky. Sometimes they are really easy too dodge, sometimes they are really hard too dodge. Makes it all a mindgame of predicting eachother´s moves. Makes for interesting gameplay, and definitely very acrobatic, but can be tireing in the long run since it tends too be similiar most of the time.

Rockets take up a lot of the play time, which is kind of a bad thing when theyre always available. Still, they would loose a lot of their flavour if they did less damage. It´s not like the other weapons arn´t useful, they really are, but rockets have a way of really grabbing attention so it´s the thing people will try first.

My solution is too make maps without rockets on them, where all the less powerful uses of the other weapons can get some space. That way you can have the great rocket mindgames, but you don´t have too have them all the time.

If any weapon is to be changed, I think the gun needs to be 50% stronger.
I don't have a clue on how this should be done though, since the bullets can't do 1,5 damage, and it would look a little strange if the gun were the only weapon with 15 bullets...

Good news. It's true the least ppl notice that the Shotty is strong which makes it underrated.
Anyway dependent on distance and hightdifferences there's an optimal weapon for every situation
at the moment. DPS is quite a theoretical value which actually needs to be multiplied with the
percentual probabilty to hit with it which is ofc individual from player to player. So I don't think
it's a good Idea to build weapons after mathmatical rules, this also pointed out in the development
of warsow which is still hardly well balanced imo.

However without having thought about it too much I don't like the Idea of doublejumps or increased
aircontrol settings. Being really really focussed on not being hit by grenades a medium experienced
player will easily be able to dodge 99% of all grenades. It also takes away a bit of the practice necessary
to get along with the hook if you'd implement these settings. I'm quite curious how that's gonna be made.
