Planned to do this a while ago but I've been busy.
about you: first contact with ac, favourite game modes and maps, country, age, clan, other games
Started playing late 2009 after a friend and I wanted to play a free FPS against each other (he had a mac, which made it a bit more difficult). We liked AC more than the other games we tried and I stuck with it. my favourite modes and maps are CTF, T/OSOK, elev, des3, and ingress.
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'd play pretty much anything in terms of pub/inter/intra/cm. The problem is that I'm Australian in an American clan and I prefer 3 vs. 3 or 4 vs. 4, so I don't play competitively often. I don't like 1 vs. 1's very much. Stats are nice and all but I'd rather just play well as a team, which kinda answers the next questions as well.
community ties: where does AC community "happen" for you? only ingame, in the official forum, clan forums, IRC, mumble?
Clan and AC forums, IRC when I have the time.
is it easy for you to get help with problems with the game? where do you get help? which problems could not be solved?
Search, help forum, IRC, docs, it's pretty damn easy to be helped with your problems if you know where to go.
what do you think about the AC community? how could the community be made better? what would you like to contribute?
The AC community is alright I guess. There are a lot of clashing personalities for some reason. Other communities I'm part of are not only bigger, but have less friction. As far as contributing, I want to map more.
what do you like about AC?
Gameplay.
what do you hate about AC?
Not really anything, tbh.
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, chipset graphics, 120fps, 1920x1080. I use OmG PWNIES because the stuff it disables is not really needed at all. I use full colour as opposed to vests, because it's easier to see what team they're on.
do you play with headphones or with a surround system or do you use the builtin speakers of your laptop?
Depends on if my sister is in the room, either headphones or proper speakers. They aren't surround sound though.
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?
The gameplay is fine, just a few tweaks are needed. I think just updating some of the interface, tweaking the gameplay, and simplifying some of the menus are needed (as well as simplifying the modes, the mode list is a bit bloated right now). I've been playing a little Red Eclipse lately.
one feature AC should add: No idea to be honest. maybe something to do with competitive play or the mythical authing I heard about a while ago but haven't heard anything about since.
one feature AC should remove: *shrugs*
