Fragmenting the community by making gameplay elements optional isn't feasible.

Iz true.

Specs have always been a fundamentally broken idea. Just imagine trying to make a weapon that's supposed to be better than something almost exactly like it, but still balanced. The very idea of it is absurd. While I don't agree that LR is useless, I do admit that the rocket spec is pushing it...

Not trying to be overly negative, I just meant to say that I think as far as effort vs positive effects that holding things like noobie pickups, tournaments, shoutcasts, etc are far better than competition has ever been. They require less commitment (therefore have a lower entry bar) and don't...

I think the effort would probably be best spent on arranging one off community events and pickups rather than trying to manage a competitive community with less than a dozen teams.

If you didn't like them or think they weren't balanced please detail why.

That's what we have hand grenades for.

This was on a few peoples' wishlists but was determined to be a crappy idea. You want to be able to shoot the flag towards you on the ground which means you want to shoot *through* the flag to hit the surface on the other side. This is the established behaviour and changing this would be a pain...

Without significant work there will probably not be any rewind features as the engine doesn't have any facilities for serializing the entire game state. It's also doubtful that you'll be able to detach your camera from your player without the aforementioned changes, but slightly more possible...

Absolutely not. It would be far easier to write a game engine myself than multithread Torque in any meaningful way. That said, it would yield significant performance increases on CPU-bound systems, but performance is hard to judge without measuring.

High on my personal list. Legions actually has always had support for demos (These videos were both made using demos, and the latter was made using a frame by frame video export). Unfortunately they will not be included in the initial release because they had problems with crashing very often...

No. Wrong.

God not this again. You can carve on bowls like in DX and SH really well in Legions. I never understood what people thought should happen when you ran into a wall; there's an air cushion under your FEET, not all around you.

Duplicate thread.

At some point I wrote a shotgun that was like a UT flak cannon where you charged for a tighter spread (a mechanic devised because it sucked at hitting things at any range). It was utterly useless. Melee attacks would be beyond useless in a game where players regularly travel at speeds in excess...

No. Visibility is a critical part of proper gameplay. Night maps are, quite simply, impractical and useless. Introducing a feature like this adds little for the amount of time spent developing all the support for what amounts to little more than a "wouldn't it be cool if...".

Already done.

I find it entertaining this post full of speculation is about a post of mine that says we need to test things rather than speculate. It is very important to realize that you can really only think about something so much. You need to actually test gameplay changes to understand their effects...

I've always been a fan of Q3 style medals and planned to experiment with them. Ingame rewards for those (like CoD does) are utter nonsense and I hope that trend dies in a fire.

I'd guess because it's never happening ever. The game is, and always will be, multiplayer only.
