So... semi is now better than SMG at killing (as always) and destroying blocks?

[IrishElf]

I personally had some very bad 'jitter' problems. It was like someone was grabbing my screen and giving it a shake. People seemed to teleport and lag around.. I'll have to see whether this is a pyspades issue or not.

Content-wise, brilliant update. I'm just concerned about this problem ^

Yup, having the same problem.

I have to review my post... because of constant teleporting, SMG spray is usually more effective. Lags doubles (or at last feel like that). Semi still better at destroying blocks...

Looking at the new play list, what are the game modes?

I know ctf, tdm and tow, but there is also 'E', 'tc' and 'control'.

[MegaDeuce]

Ignoring the usual glitches that have to get ironed out after every update:

CONS:

-OK seriously, you have to be able to grab a color from the map when you're placing blocks. Anybody who builds will tell you, it's really important if you want to make anything camouflaged. Maybe it should be mapped to a key?

-I like spectator mode, but I don't like the spectate-on-death feature. Yes you can only follow your own team, but you can sorta use it as a kill cam, since you have the opportunity to look around for whoever killed you. And that seems unfair. Maybe if it picked a random player and you had to follow them?

PROS:

-CLICK-N-DRAG OMG SO MUCH WIN

-Spectator mode is fun!

-Map-vote feature has some potential

its e now, and you can remap it.

i liked 0.70 waay more

[CalenLoki]

Played a bit more... worst uptade so far :/
I understand that glithes were always present, but now it's worse than ever.
Click and drag is just as bad as I imagined, even if we don't look at bugs (eating blocks without placing them)
Before you had choice: long-range, slow, accurate block destruction and mid-range, fast, inaccurate destruction. Now you have long range fast, and mid-range slow. And other aspects of weapons doesn't balance it like they used to.
Spade melee is somehow bugged as hell. Somtimes 4 hits isn't enough (well, just like 4hs with rifle sometimes don't kill)
And grab block colour should be middle mouse button (no sane person plays with touchpad, and cheapest mouse is like 2$....)

there are some good additions:
-explosion particle (if direct nade kills enemy :/)
-sprinting (nice, but makes teleporting even worse)
-deathcam (if sniper is hidden, he won't be spotted. If he just happened to stand behind you, he's not a sniper)
-spectator (great! flying around is ATM funnier than playing)
-new server list is nice, but without pinging to client it still doesn't help to find decent server for no-US players

Some that don't really matter:
-castings (I don't really pay attention any more - my fly to the side, and others are too small)
-wave spawning (if your team isn't band of self killing lemmings, you usually spawn alone anyway)
-tracers (just like castings)

And some that I don't know what mean:
"-better accuracy model (weighted toward center)"
"-minor shotgun/SMG improvements" (other than having more chances than rifle to hit teleporting player)

I'll find other game for next few weeks, maybe something get's fixed.
Good bye.

Played around a bit, and I've mostly good thoughts.
PROS: I love the added imagery to shrapnel and discharge of your weapon, it adds an extra layer of chaos that imo makes the game much more enjoyable. Spectator mode is fantastic, drunken camera is appropriate and makes me feel like I'm riding a hippogriph. I've no problems with the varying spawn time as of yet.

CONS: Click and drag is fun, but for whatever reason I often find myself placing blanks. There is also the lagging issue that has been previously addressed. My most major concern, however, is a reload glitch I've been experiencing at least once on every server. After spawning or healing at my tent, I'm unable to reload. If I switch to spade and destroy a block, I may seemingly reload (the visuals and sounds indicate that I do), but still I'm unable to fire. I've found no way around this other than to die.

[Priok]

the only problem I have is that my game crashed one time after I died, but other than that it's fine. I like the semi's new block damage

[Yessum]

I can't seem to join any servers even to try it...
NOOOOOO!!!

Yeah,I even killed you with a spade and you didn't respond:/
Also there is a jamming bug with the semi,I could not reload.
Which made me rage.
Oh yes,I see a much better harder difficulty in this,I only got like 2 in ratio.
That I don't like is the effect of the bullet,it annoys me to death when somebody sprays with the smg.
Oh yes I probably have to say this:
1.When I look down at a block and tere is somebody under that block I can see their body through the block,this has not even being fixed in 0.70.
EDIT:Oh yes,and now I got killed by some noobs(beginners) when they were hidden under some blocks,and I thought "look now I can through a grenade inside and kill them both.
They were in water btw.
When I threw the grenade and I waited they eventually didn't die.
EDIT:The sentences before this is actually wrong sorry,I thought it was something new<3.Oh,and by the way I think that there should be a lag fix.

[TheGrandmaster]

Just played GH1. Again, many headshots were not counted which is pretty annoying when one of those goes onto kill you despite hitting them.
Also, watch out for t_g and his hax.

[ReubenMcHawk]

He hacked tGM's ping.
