- about you: first contact with ac, favourite game modes and maps, country, age, clan, other games
- My first serious contact with AC was 19th December 2008, just after 1.0 release, when I started playing online for the first time. My favourite mode depends on my mood, but CTF for the majority of the time; ac_avenue 4EVA! I'm usually happy to play whatever map/mode comes up in the maprot. I live in the UK, I'm 39.9973, in A&D clan and I don't play any other online FPS or similar. I've been a member of the dev team since late 2011, but I am not a developer; I'm an administrator.
- do you mostly play public matches or do you prefer clan competition? are you a regular 1vs1 player? do you care about your ratio or your flags-per-minute value? do you support team players even in just-for-fun games?
- I play pubs only (I've played about twenty 'inters'/clan games in my AC career and have rarely enjoyed it; 1v1 makes me uncomfortable). I have two objectives in CTF: 1. Get to the opposing flag and grab it or protect it. 2. Return my flag. Shooting everything I see along the way is just a distraction.
- community ties: where does AC community "happen" for you? only ingame, in the official forum, clan forums, IRC, mumble?
- For me, in-game and on IRC, although I hide a lot in-game.
- is it easy for you to get help with problems with the game? where do you get help? which problems could not be solved?
- N/A
- what do you think about the AC community? how could the community be made better? what would you like to contribute?
- I think the community is incredibly fragmented, with different parties having wildly different ideas. I have no idea how it could be made better.
- what do you like about AC?
- I don't know; I just do.
- what do you hate about AC?
- The sense of entitlement that OSS gives certain people.
- do you play on a laptop or a desktop? does it have a dedicated graphics card or do you use chipset graphics? what average fps do you play at, and what screen resolution do you use? do you use features like "reduced violence mode" or degraded textures? do you use colored vests?
- Desktop, dedi-gfx card, 250fps@1920x1080 or 1920x1200. Standard gfx settings and yes, I have coloured vests, but not full.
- do you play with headphones or with a surround system or do you use the builtin speakers of your laptop?
- Mostly headphones.
- where should AC development be headed to? what should the next release bring? would you like AC to concentrate on it's own classic gameplay or should it be molded to be more like another game (and what other game)? do you play other games of the cube family?
- I would like to see AC rolled back to 1.0 style gameplay. I would like to see all (within reason) bugs fixed before new features are even considered. I would like to see removal of the ability for players to modify gameplay through the use of scripts. I don't play any other cube-based games.
- one feature AC should add:
- Frag score in place of the flag score (at the bottom of the screen) for non-flag team modes.
- one feature AC should remove:
- Server wizard.
