Crylink Over-powered.

[halogene]

Well, are you still complaining about the 2.4.2 crylink or have you tried the new one in svn?

Because, I think I should close this thread if this is still about 2.4.2. Stop complaining, it's fixed.

uh-oh yes, my traumatic experiences are from other servers than lazy dogs.

Great you fixed this - I recall that sometimes I was playing and noticing the crylink doesn't kill me ALL the time - that must have been on one of the svn servers then.

Oh boy I am so happy this turret-like crylink spraying will have an end - THANK YOU !

I can understand that complaining but a strong weapon can also be used by those complaining Also i would like to remind all of you, that there was a VERY extensive testing period for all the changes in 2.4.2 and hardly anyone complained back then.. Now you will have to bear with your lack of reporting till the next version is out. Which might still take some time as there are quite big internal changes..

well said, esteel, well said

you are right - but at least for me it is as little fun to make cheap kills with no need to use a certain level of movement/aiming skill as it is to get killed in that way

As for the extensive testing period: at the moment I try to play on svn servers whenever I can. Unfortunately there are not really many svn servers available, and where there are, they are empty most of the time. And even when they're not, I hardly meet any advanced players there. Maybe it was similar during the extensive testing period of the 2.4.2 version?

Up to now, btw, I wouldn't have anything to complain about the current svn version. Good work!

There's nothing wrong with the CL that a little tweaking, (and I do mean 'little'), won't fix.

Personally I think that the nex ruins many maps with open spaces like wall and facing. It's all a question of personal choice and, like esteele says, everyone can use it. It's not just people who suck... like me

But what you fail to realize is that sniping is a part of the game. It's the opposing team's job to get rid of the snipers. Same thing for spawn campers, and campers in general.

Well all those that complained about the cyrlink..

What do you think about the 'new' crylink? You can test it on lazy dog or galts servers too i think! If in doubt visit the irc channel #nexuiz.admins and as the server admins there.. we got a hand full of them to gather there..

I play on Galts all the time and its MUCH better..BUT!
I still think it could be toned down a tad more.
The funny thing is that the spammers keep picking it up and now they are easy to kill

It's strange that so many people that play Nex don't have a clue what its going on with dev, I would say roughly 30% of the people that play Nex have never visited the forum

Well lets see what the others say about it, having a strong weapon is not necessarily a bad thing. Might be a tad off but why would you fight with someone unless you know you can win? Thus you need either a stronger gun or better health/armor or maybe aim, strategy. SLIGHT unbalance creates such an advantage and gets the fight going.

Interest in a forum usually starts when you like a game and played for a while.. Thought maybe pointing at the forum on the next release might be good. And as others mentioned it might not be easy enough yet to see whats going on with the development..

i have done chat with people that have been playing for well over a year and they have never visited the forum, perhaps a forum link on a opening screen would be a good thing.
