Ideas for the Nex

[nifrek]

You have to think that in a duel, whoever is in control can stack a lot of health and armor. Without this much damage with the nex, I think this would make things even LESS balanced because that leaves pretty much only one weapon (RL) to use to make a lot of damage. I've said before that against perfect weapon balance but IMO this would make things WAY too unbalanced.

The only way I could see this work would be to fix max hp and armor to 200 and had different armors that cant add up like in other games, but I wouldn't want that either, it would change nexuiz too much.

So, IMO Nex should not be changed.

Alright, I'm outnumbered and it won't ever happen.

Very bad ideas. If nex gets it's damage halved, it won't even be a major weapon anymore. plz dont kthx

I have a different proposal. Hear me out, eh?

All this talk about the nex being too strong- is, imo, legitimate. For all intents and purposes, the nex is a 1 hit kill, hitscan, super-accurate weapon, which is also FAST. This is the problem. The nex fits all of the criteria for a sniper rifle, without being slow.

Why not go all the way? Don't make the nex weaker, make it stronger (or the same, doesn't really matter). But instead, give it refire like that of the Halo covenant sniper rifle, where you can shoot 2x quickly in succession, then you have to wait 2.5-3 seconds for it to 'cool down'. However, if you do time it so that it doesn't overheat, you can shoot with a minimum refire of 2 seconds.

Most often 1 time is enough, you can finish with laser.

The Nex, similarly to the Quake Railgun, is a hit-or-miss weapon in Deathmatch.

There have been suggestions to modify the Nex into the UT Shock Rifle, but the similarity to the Quake Railgun is favoured by the majority.

1 more bad idea

devs plz ignore

2 torus:

nex should be fast cuz you NEED refire. why? cuz halo, ut, etc are not even close as fast as nexuiz is.

kthx

There's no need to discuss this IMO. I think it's 1-2% chance that the Nex will change to anything here suggested here. Almost everyone are happy with the Nex, so I'll say: Don't fix what isn't broken.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

Which should be a more common theme around here .
