Ideas for the Nex

[k0jak]

Because those who want that already have Quake 3 Arena and don't play Nexuiz. This would basically drive away all of our existing player base.

I was trying to be a bit sarcastic divVerent such a huge damage drop for the nex would really need to be balanced in other areas, like the idea torus came up with.

However i would like the idea of an armour system similar to quake/quake 3's with 3 different armours, for example 50/100/200, 25/100/200, and so that you can't stack any higher then 200 but then remove armour rot from when you pick up armours.

Well, the idea of reducing the laser push (and to compensate and keep laser climbing easy, increasing its fire rate) was there before. It felt just fine to me, but most players on my server complained.

For me it was actually BETTER that way, as I could use the laser in more areas where I would have hit the ceiling before.

The Nex gun is basically a sniper rifle. What does a sniper rifle do? It kills in one shot. That is the purpose of the Nex. It takes skill to hit someone with it, which balances it's extreme power. Reducing its HP would be a huge mistake IMO.

yeah nex gun is basically snipers weapon that can be shot when in mid air moving 120km/h under heavy fire

I'm fine with nexgun damage, it should kill instatly unarmored target, but what I don't like is that this weapon have no weakness, its fast, 0 recoil, and you can shot other weapons when it reloads :O.
What I want is way to kill sniper if I sneak to him, I want weakness for nexgun
Its not that mappers place it too much, even if you place 1 nexgun lots of ppl still will use it, on runningman when playing with good players, nexgun is only weapon ppl kill with, if they are using something other it means that they are on way to nexgun

I like torus idea but ppl will just switch to RL when nexgun will cool down and it will be 0 risk for using this weapon

Yea id like the nex to be instantkill with no armour also (like it was before a while back, before people complained about spawn-kills..which are still easy to do regardless).

There will always be people to complain about a weapon like the Nex, I think its just fine the way it is.
