3 things I'd like to see in the new Armegatron

Post by «XLR8» AEROjet »

Here they are:

1. I better looking cycle, (more like the one on the loading page or in the movie) It looks so lame and the wheels arn't all that round. I will try to upload a 3D model or something of mine.

2. Some bug fixes, this version is filled with them, and yes they are annoying.

3. Audio chat like on XBox live or something, I know SpaceZone has already sorta done that, but on other servers, its very hard to chat and play at the same time.

I donno, those are just some ideas of mine that I have seen as I have been playing. Oh yeah, another thing i just remembered is more modibility all around for your trails, cycle, server and stuff. So i guess thats 4. eh whatever.

Ok...

Audio chat: There are team speak servers, well at least there were for a while. I'm sure people are still using it though... I couldn't find a topic on it in the forums.. Well I just didn't want to take the time to. :P

...And the bugs well lol. :wink:

On the topic of bugs. I'd like to take this time to thank the people on the dev team for doing such good work this year. When people bring up bugs now, I think to myself "what bugs?". I know there are still bugs, and there will probably always be bugs.
Anyhow, thinking back to when you'd random jump tails, and explode randomly only a year or so ago, this is fine.
Ok, before I start to ramble on too much, Thanks again.

My servers have a teamspeak server linked to them already. Although not a soul uses it.

On the subject of bugs.
The only question i would like to ask is what is the reason for the sudden apearence of insta kills after the update to version 0.2.8.1? I personay dont remember having them in version 0.2.7.
I know that its due to the differential between a high ping player and a low ping player, but is there a way to compensate the client side or server side?
I took a look at the differencces between the command lists of both versions and found that 0.2.8.1 had many additions.

And as for voice chat, over at ID we have a Team Speak server that is available to all players. You can find the IP in the header when you join the server.

What version? 0.3.0 is supposed to be buggy-- that's why it's called experimental.

Have a LAN party. I think this would be considered a "low priority bug" ;)

Was planned at one point, at least.
