So... I was wondering about the Strength. Nexuiz has quite unique weapons, but the Strength is kinda lame, just a regular Quad damage.
What about adding instagibbing, if you TOUCH your enemy?
Think about it... not only your weapons are 4 times stronger, but if you bunnyhop around, you can rip away all your enemies by simply rushing on them.
TOTAL RAMPAGE!

ps.: yeah, I'm kinda fed up with exams period, and I'm thinking on anything other then learning

and I want the one who got it to blink like in Mario and he also has to submit this cool "daa daa dada da daa daa" sound/music

and on each kill I'd like to hear the 1UP-sound !!

lol
But... there are no gibs in Mario!!!111oneoneeleven4444

aka: Deathtouch?

It would be cool if it was a small radius (inside of the strength glow or something) around the player that instagibbed enemies instead of having to really touch the enemy

OMG no insta-gib! XD Some force, yes, but an instagibbing shield would be crazy. Oh.... ohhh! Yes! YES!!!! No, wait, i like that idea, that means it doesn't fit in normal gameplay.

I've been also missing something in the Strength and other powerups. For example, if you have Strength and die, your weapon should still have Strength. And you should be invisible, instead of a glow that screams "Shoot me, i have Quad!"

So, what i want basically, is a Super-Up. This would, of course, be only enabled on some (fun) servers, while disabled on others.

I'm happy with how strength behaves right now. It's a good balance.

I agree, but the idea of touching someone and they die when you have it, sounds quite nice also..but not the radius idea thats a bit too insane.

lol...
imagine someone having shield+strength...
I call it HOMING MISSILE!

a massacre

I already do that? Kicks ass in maps where you can laser yourself from one side to the other with the flag.

example: spacecastles, get strength and shield, goto opposing castle, shoot ground, go 1000 feet in the air, land on your flag. WHeeeee!


On a related note, I'd like to see a rune where your amount of invisibility increases the faster you go. It can be a ninja rune .

Imagine you laser yourself into a bunch of enemies then, you'd go right through while they explode into a billion pieces ^^

I think the ninja power-up sounds awesome , imagine seeing your enemy fading into existence as they decelerate to get the flag and then fade out again as they blast off home again.
Also the juggernaut power-up (i just thought of that ), does it need the be part of the strength power-up in or a separate one, one touch kill aura, or does Nexuiz have limited slots for power-ups also?
I suppose making something compatible with existing maps without having to edit them is an issue here.

I never understand taht :
Why teh fuck shield and strength disapear when you die.
Make them re-pickable when there left time.
Anyway, I like the strengh.
Another thing about super powerup :
Why only 2 items ?
Invisibility in normal DM should be fun. Why only on minsta...

(plz admins, don't desactivate super items; thats funny)

More items in CTF would be great. I never understood why powerups or runes couldn't be used in CTF.

powerups are an essential part of CTF.

in CTF it might be an idea if you drop speed / shield / strength when you die that it is able to be picked up again (with the remaining seconds of use left...if this can be done?)

however i think it would be best for CTF only for this aspect, in DM / TDM i think it is better if you get fragged it gets taken off completely.


and -z-, there is a Speed powerup in the game..no one ever seems to put it in maps though..

a cool variation would be that only the dropped weapon of the strengh-carrier still has the advantage of the strength for the remaining time. This way one does not have 100% advantage of a killed strength-carrier as he won't have the strength working for all weapons, but as an additional advantage you could "hide" your "strenghed" weapon until you really need it (of course, even if you hide it, the time would still have decrease as if you were using the weapon)

I've addded a poll

poll's a little biased

What about making this instagib strength into a Mutator?
For me the idea sounds like fun, though as mentioned before it's probably not good for usual gameplay.
You could add a glowing orb thing around the player, I was thinking about an effect similar to DBZ without that cheesy flame crap, just lightning bolts and stuff. So that the player is even more visible than with usual strength.

That reminds me of EvilFrogs Berserk Mod (for Nexuiz 1.2.1).
