You've probably heard many people talking about what they don't like in Tremulous and what should be done in it (like blaster projectiles being slow). Many of these people do not consider the common benefits and both advantages and drawbacks of their wanted changes. Consequently, their recommendations are not ideal, and are best ignored. The primary reason for this might be the average n00b's experience level in design. They are not oriented around mutual benfits. For example, when people are new to Tremulous, they usually chose the side which is easier for them to play, which is almost always the human team. And if they are bad players, they will only play on thet team. Later, once they find something annoying for them, or want something easier to be done, they may announce it. However, they don't considering what it would mean for the other side.
2 short examples:
- Make the blaster faster and stronger, because you can't kill anything with it. WTF? You are not even supposed to have anything useful other than your primary weapon. You should be thankful even for that piece of goatshit. Advanced Grangers really suck at killing, and Grangers don't have ANY offensive measures, so why should S1 constructors or even humans have blasters? You want to be able to kill tyrants with that gun? You call that design?
- Make the lucifer projectile faster. WTF? That gun is worth 600CR as it is. Consider the difference between the most expensive human and alien. A tyrant can kill 3 or 4 basic humans (with rifles) before needing to retreat, or getting killed by the next one. A human in a battlesuit with a lucifer cannon can kill as many dretches as he wants, before running out of ammo. It can even kill an advanced dragoon with 1 shot (fuck lag!). What about destroying structures? It's just too good. Increasing the speed will definitely annoy the aliens, much more than it annoys you, that it's so slow. Sorry, majority wins.
So unless you have the proper experience, play both sides with equal desire, and have the potential knowledge to wisely analyze and make generally advantagous decisions, I don't think you even have the basic rights to comment on Tremulous, because you are supporting yourself, and not the game!
