EDIT: We've decided on Saturday 26th Nov at 6pm UTC (Remember that UK timezone = UTC)
I propose another session on the weekend of Sat 26/ Sun 27th November, either day is fine depends on everyone's preference.
If we decide on Saturday 26th then we should start at 6pm UTC
If we decide on Sunday 27th then we should start at 5pm UTC
(it should be noted that British clocks went back an hour since the last session so we are in fact on UTC exactly at the moment)Anyone who has played Lix multiplayer in the past and has dismissed it, please come back and give it another chance (hear me out).The handicap feature which we tested with the release of 0.10.0 is a big game changer, it is applied to the stronger players to make things harder for them in the following ways:
- it can reduce the amount of Lixes the stronger players start with.
- it can reduce the amount of skills the stronger players start with.
- it can delay the spawning of the stronger players Lixes.
- it can reduce the amount of points the stronger players score by a fraction.
All while the less experienced players play the multiplayer as normal with full Lix, full skills, first to spawn and full scoring.
It is a significant enough change to the multiplayer to come and give Lix another go if you hated the bullying from more experienced players who now have to jump through hoops and overcome obstacles from their own handicap. We only tested this feature with 5 players, it would be nice to have a full lobby and see how it goes.
You must download Lix 0.10.0 to be able to play though. Crossplay between 0.9 Lix and 0.10 Lix is not possible! Thanks for hearing me out Of course new players are very welcome too!
Download 0.10.0 here
