MG Dev Server feedback

Hi, just dropping a quick note on my experience on the MG Dev server. . .

First of all, I'd like to say that it looks very neat and clean.  It would be interesting to play it with more people to experience the new game dynamics.  I also love the new console/speech font; I can finally see that I've left Caps Lock on before sending out an embarrassing all-caps message!

One thing I noticed that perhaps you can look into is that after I quit to main menu and tried to rejoin the Pure Tremulous sever, which was actually full, the interface seemed to lock up with my mouse stuck on the server selection.  In the console, it said "Server is for low pings only".  I had to /quit and start it again to get back into the PT server.  I tried to reproduce the error, but couldn't actually find a full server at the time - maybe this was just a one-off.

Best of luck in the continued development!

Thanks,
nand

I agree - However, I'm not at all used to the text there.

The barricades are awesome

Oooh, a request please:

Can I get an option to instantly die when :Basilisk: gassed.  You could call it the weak stomach setting. 

Either than or make lisks cost more than a tyrant.  Considering they can heal too, it seems a lisk would be the most important part of a ATCs campathon.

Close your eyes. You'll die soon enough. Open them when you hear the ringing of the reactor.

Unless it has been destroyed, in which case you will hear even more lisk noises

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

Hahaha...

Sadly, we can't do that. Consider why there is a 20 sec timer on /kill...

I think a MG sever should have some more of the well extravagant maps.

Good point. I'll start an internal talk about what else we want.

Can we add the map Odin made to the rotation?

I forget the name, but I quite enjoyed playing on it

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

The maplist for Dev needs to be restricted to maps that're decently well known and norf-approved for balance so that they don't skew the balance statistics efforts.

I agree.
On a sadder note, I can't seem to get the MG Dev server in my server list =( Any ideas?
