Xonotic 0.5 is released!

Xonotic 0.5 is released!
How are we celebrating? Perhaps we should think of switching over a server to Xonotic?

You are right, we should get a server on xonotic and what we need even more is many players that will play there as well

I'll set up a test server this weekend if I got the time.

lets see if its another nerd toy or actually playable and fun.

If you ask me, I think it is very playable, minsta not really, but the weapon gameplay is awesome!

Will your server be a minsta server, or a normal one? Anyway, I will try it, unless I stopped playing minsta a few months ago.

It will be a minsta+hook server with our nexuiz settings. But let me test first if I still got weird fps drops and sound lags.

It is a different game, no nexuiz feeling for me anymore :/
Could as well switch to warsow or quake live..

Weapon gameplay feels like total awesomeness to me. Way and way better then in Nexuiz.

But minsta indeed feels different, but I don't care, minsta sux anyway imo

I can't understand why I played minsta for about 9 months. Can't understand why it's been played at all, since I played Xonotic.

Doesn't quite come close to the quake series imo but ok, "total awesomeness" is highly subjective
Nexuiz has the best insta+hook mod I've seen in any game so far and we're a minsta clan btw.

Does this mean we won't have a Xonotic server?

There will be a test server, but I don't know if we gonna switch to xonotic completely as with our small community it only makes sense if almost everyone switches. Otherwise 50% keep playing nexuiz, 50% switch to xonotic for example.

I had a lot of complaints even when we only switched to the rocket minsta mod and I'm not sure if we can convince everyone to play xonotic from now on.

Thank you for the answer.
Yeah, of course it would only make sense to switch if the entire (or most of the) community switched. Great that we'll have a test server, I want to try this new game out
