Nex nerfing poll -proper

[alphagod]

Correct me if i'm wrong but in the svn nex damage was reduced to 130, at least on the .de green's svn server. I believe it is quite still an ok weapon and i personally like it like that.

[Grasshopper]

Alpha you started all this so im directing this at you and all other new players . although you may not be new to nexuiz this fits what im about say

my first day on nexuiz i got nexed so bad as with the folowing months . i hated the nex and refused to use it simply because i couldn aim . as time passed by i learned many tricks abou nexuiz i.e jumps strafing movement . i used to be a rocket whore noob untill i learned the nex . i plyed minsta to to get better at the nex and then played ctf . i will tell you nex is my fav weapon because of the skill i takes to use it . and the skill it takes to evade it . i asume you want the nex damage to be lowered because you have no skill as of yet . honestly im not being a badger to you and not saying yer a noob . all it takes is time to undersatnd what the devs have done with the game . its hard to kill with nex . its hard to kill with rocket . unlwss you time it right . these are the most powerfull weps . anyone can crylink spam or electro spam . ie no skill . all im sayin is take the time to learn the weapon . play some minsta . i did , but i still get owned on it . i am a better player for it and have gootten much better a the nex . many players have noticed i kill with it more often , and i must say it feels good to know i did it with skill , not spam balls or crylink hopes .
look im not saying yer a newb , but you started the thread and i recommend you understand the game before you try to manipulate it . try some minsta for a month . learn how to lead target , predict movement . the nex is one of the favorite weapons because it takes skill to use . dont be mad because someone preffers the nex over a weaker weapon that doesnt use skill at all . learn it , adapt it , own it , become better . dont try to make the game fit you . im sorry if this hurts anyones feelings , but i had to overcome this in my early nexuiz days . but now im not so bad .

My only concern is that there isn't a way for mapmakers to limit the ammo for the nex without limiting the ammo for a bunch of other weapons.

On the other hand, hitscan weapons are evil, as it is too easy to make a really accurate aimbot for them.

Against a reason to remove hitscan weapons because it's easy to make an aimbot. We could remove multiplayer support and stick to single then as well.

[alpha]

Hitscan weapons removed from game = too good to be true.

On the other hand there would be no way to catch a flag carrier on certain maps (or tactics would need to be changed drastically).

[divVerent]

You CAN remove hitscan weapons like this:

g_weaponreplace_nex campingrifle
g_ballistics_force 1

Then MG and SG shoot fast projectiles, and Nex is replaced by the camping rifle (using projectiles too, faster ones however).

[Ronan]

Since the camping rifle was introduced in svn, no need to change deeply the nexgun : keep the high damage and long refire (1.5s), this way is balanced in DM.

However, I'm not against a damage reduction. It was reduced in svn from 140 to 130. A fresh spawned players (150 hp) is still very vulnerable in a large open map or a space floater when snipped, because with 20 hp left he can't make a laserjump to quickly escape or hide. To fix that, either reduce nex damage to 120, or be sure the self damage caused by a laser jump is strictly inferior to 20 hp.

[divVerent]

120 makes it too weak in the statistics.
