Standard Gaming Practices...WTF?

You can't wait with the spawning in Nexuiz

Replying to Urmel's first post:

If your nmy could spawnfrag with you with camping all the time, it means that the map is fucked up, and every spawn point on the map is shootable from one point of the map. And this is not good.

I wanna throw out a sollution that might direct the 1v1 towards fragskill rather then timing and map knowledge.

-2 seconds immunity for respawned players (they can't shoot either)

-Set a maximum value for health and armor...let's say 250 or 300 or whatever.

Let me know what you guys think about this.

[C.Brutail]

Immunity good idea, no shoot good idea, max health bad idea (kills nexuiz's healh system's uniqueness)

[Urmel]

max health bad idea (kills nexuiz's healh system's uniqueness)

I can't believe there's no possibility to set that on a ladder server by default

[morfar]

Yes, in the next patch servers can set max health and max armour. Its not tested yet, but it should work

I think both will be possible in Nexuiz 1.5.1.. except that 'can't shoot either' part but to be honest i think its a bad idea to stop them from being killed or from shooting. Its just a game, if you get killed get over it

I don't really notice spawn camping that much. Maybe I'm just bad at distinguishing between a quick death by chance, a quick death because of a bad spawn, and a quick death because of a camper, but it's not something that I'm too concerned about. The only time it really bugs me is when 90% of the spawns occur in one spot for some reason and a nex camper is staring you in the eye each time you click the mouse, but that can be solved by fixing the spawning algorithm.

If a player is a sitting duck in front of me, either because they have just spawned, or because they are typing or afk, sometimes I will let them live, and other times I will show no mercy. I think more often than not I'll just tap them around with a weak weapon and then wander off.

This would not be nearly as much of a problem if:
the nex damage was lowered to 145, or
the charging nexgun becomes a standard

i agree w/ that... you should be able to shoot on spawn...
in DMQ (a recode of deathmatch classic) we have 2 cvars:

//spawn_protection 1 will give players invincibility for protection_time seconds after they spawn
//protection_time If spawn_protection==1, how long will the protection last for.

respawns are all glowy like they have the pent, it wears off and protection is over. a lot of servers that used it had it set at 3 seconds (like the old dmm4), imo anything over 1 second spawn protection is overkill, for no other reason than trying to take down a pented up respawning bot for 3 seconds while it pecks away at you is like trying to take down a coked up whore with a celery stalk.

Uh.. Sometimes it´s really hard when you are Spawnkilled again and again...
But who cares ? Next time it happend to my challenger

Wasn´t it so esteel ? Nice game.. thx
