closing statement: the game has a lot of fundamental problems, and inducing radical changes before fixing previous issues is going to exponentially cause more issues. i'm not saying not to have discussion of future plans/ideas, but take the gameplay you have now and focus on smoothing that out and ...

I don't know why you'd think this is ridiculous, it's really more of evolutionary than revolutionary change. I think it sounds worthwhile, though I'm not sure if you're suggesting this change be only for humans -- that could possibly work but I'd lean toward not having the player upgrade process dif...

i like the idea of nodes becoming teleporters and choosing where to spawn/teleport using the minimap. aliens by definition have a lot more mobility than humans, and can typically transverse maps a lot quicker... I think this idea could address a fundamental imbalance in the game, and I had this sam...

Invisibility cloak - Would invisible aliens actually become visible when a human with radar is nearby or would they just show up on radar? It could be annoying when hunting that last alien if they still stay invisible. They would only show up on radar, but the person with the radar could just shoot...

Infestation Balancing will be a bit tricky here since it's hard to predict how many corpses will be available for a different number of players. Not sure if this should be bought by grangers for build points and be permanent or inserted by a combat class for free and only last a while. Either way I...

Here's a list of things I had planned or wanted in the Tremulous mod I started and abandoned long ago. Some of these might be usable as-is in Unvanquished, but even the ones that aren't might inspire something that could be adapted. Almost all of these ideas I took from some other game (in most case...

Played for two and half hours today. I realize that first impressions of gameplay are usually close to worthless, but I formed a few strong opinions that may or may not be valid. Some of these might be improvable by simply having better UI feedback, but generally I think the game would benefit from ...

It would be far better if said upgrade/class had a lot of difficulty killing another class. For instance, if a certain classes's slow rate of attack made it difficult to keep up with and attack another class due to its speed. We certainly want that kind of rock-paper-scissors balance between specif...

I believe any kill-class should give you the same reward no matter your class/upgrades. So you don't mind that getting upgrades would make it easier to get more upgrades? Because just emphasizing base-killing power isn't enough: unless upgrades only improved base-killing ability and did nothing to ...

It would also make feeding less devastating to the team that feeds. Finally, it would greatly encourage players to go out and fight because they are not as hampered starting off and feeding is not as powerful. I agree that feeding (or, more specifically, having that strong disincentive to attack) i...
