I didn't mind the movement after only a couple of games but now it's starting to bug me.
The game feels slow, xtremly slow.
The reason why I fell in love with nex was the speed.
Now I'm not sure if the love can last, seeing how the speed part is gone.
I know that with practice, speed can be regained but thats not the point. It's slow out of the box, only after u learn how to jump like a monkey and brake your fingers turning corners using aircontrol do u get faster.
If the game has slowed down this much, change of weapons is a must in my book.
But by doing that, we're getting a whole another game, one that is just another fps. Nothing special.
While the speed is likely not gonna change, I feel the need to voice my opinion.
The only fast thing in nex right now is dying. This is not the nex I started loving a long time ago, the one with the invisible bug, and cool gameplay ;)
(half the people here don't even remember that one)

Yeah, go to the lower level on silver city into any one corner.
Start running and jumping (gain a bit of speed), shoot rocket and race it.

Now i finaly got around to download and watch those demos. Those are included in my demo pack they are just no longer possible with a single jump!
You now have to jump twice. Each jump will be faster and farer then the previous and only the second jump is far enough to make it over tha gap. It does matter from what direction you are coming. I'll record a demo for both directions :)

*edit* better use that demo pack: http://www.forums.alientrap.local/viewtopi ... =6709#6709

ok.. is not as easy as before but i've managed to jump this way.. at least sometimes :( :(

but the tricks of your demos i prefer are those simple but useful like various ramp jump and so on, really usable in battle :P

I prefer to not jump over the gap on darkzone but rather just stay on ground, since you have so much aircontrol that can you can turn and strafe around the gap and even gain speed by it

what bugs me are the small lights that can stop you in the corridors

Another fine little trick (many of you probably already know this one from an earlier incarnation of this map) is getting at the MH in darkzone without using the teleport:

Exercise left to reader to jump out from pipe onto platform behind teleport, which I missed in this demo...

I tried to do a little comparison of the physics of Nexuiz. nex1.5 vs quake vs nex2.0:

I redid my previous trickjump demos.. there were several demos for a few of the maps, those are now in a single demo. Some training did help :) Also i added some laser jumping to aggressor and added jumps for warfare. (I want to give credit to GreenMarine for the jump from armor to the nexgun, and to honor him i added an other version for this jump right before it :) try to do that one if you dare :P )
Also i nolonger call the demos "tricks_*" but "jumps_*" as someone complained ingame that those things are no real tricks.. well what ever :)
