I agree with him Epic Crates should and will be more rare in the future, if an update comes out a day.
I will be honest, even with Zandronum 3.0, since we already had tons of beta, my enjoyment was only for a week but my boreness is still present.
Smaller community, always playing the same mods, that is annoying, which explain why you don't see me around often like before because I litteraly lost interest on Zandronum both in game and modding/mapping.

I prefer to use the small free time of mine on modding at something else than Zandronum.

Especially with that new "bull shit" addon(yeah this is the right word) called "Insane Mode" made by ForestMark, which is nothing but a mess, thank you for starting the damn addon cancer here.
I would call it a metastasis from the primary cancer affecting complex doom and lca.
You know what, I think I would find it a good idea to nerf even more the chances of epic crates because notice that with so many players (I myself haven't played on the CDI servers yet though), there would probably be too many players being given special rewards as well as players looking kind of too overpowered. Now when does a new update come? Many stuff in the current version are still buggy and CDI needs to become compatible with the current LCA version (unless you want to wait until v1.6.0 of LCA comes out).

i dont think you need to do so much update just make epic crates no more dropable and no chance to get from bonus crates, just killing cyberdemons/spider variants, all legs and Nazi subbosses

Honestly, there's much more updates to be needed because there's still many bugs for one example.

Needs a proper download link I think. Maybe package it yourself as the current one doesn't work.

Couple things that's been annoying be since I started playing this wad over a year ago.

People being able to fist/chainsaw your sentries/marines, and people who I've seen stay in the waiting room for over half a level farming crates. You really shouldn't get crates in the waiting room.

Other than those two I love the wad man.

I remember Blood mentioning a specific reason for not updating; a disagreement with some of the changes LCA 1.5.9 made.

With regard to fixing Complex Doom Invasion w/ LCA 1.5.8 for Complex 27a, you can load this patch after loading the lca pk3.

Without Complex Doom Invasion (stand-alone LCA w/ Complex 27a), you can load this patch.

sad to hear
if its not possible to get the new weapons like the demon tech railgun, at least blood could change the Tech Eramus to make it work the same way

Yo I'm just done with modding in Zandronum for now, don't expect any update before at least february 2018.
And because of the few time I'll have in that period I will prefer to make some new maps than waste my time at updating the mod to the current lca or cd which are in my opinion all but necessary.

Now I believe that the Tech Eramus is probabky going to be replaced by the Damon Tech Railgun and I also believe that acting the new weapon from LCA would still work for Complex Doom Invasion. But anyways, will sure wait for a while about the CDI update before Februrary 2018 (as what Blood said since he's quite busy with other things right now).

I think that sounds like a good idea to make it a mega man buster like weapon with it having completely new sprites instead of the one from Russian Overkill while we still add the Demon Tech Railgun. The Tech Eramus could also use regular cells instead of regular cells and the Rail Arachnotron can use the Demon Tech Railgun projectile instead.

I kind of fell in love with this mod a long time ago, so i will try to be honest as much as i can about it. What i find a bit nonsensical is that the new waves and harder bosses added in the recent versions are over compensated by the abundance of bonus items and weapons, runes and tanks... i don't know if it was intentional but the game is now actually easier than it used to be. In short there is a problem with bonus crates, expecially epic ones. Last time i played i got 3 epic crates on the first wave for some reason, which allowed me to cheese through the waves with extreme ease. In the end the server crashed because i abused d bfg alt fire a bit too much lol... to be honest, i liked this mod more when it was a bit less about overpowered items and more about team coordination and survival skill.

Anyway i thank fr blood for this mod which is always enjoyable, regardless of the game balance

i agree about the bonus crates i also got some epics on early waves got OP and crashed the server a lot of times
it needs a serious nerf the epic crates and some items from bonus crates like the luck and leg rune to be only available on epic crates
and i haven been thinking how about instead of getting the utility gun on bonus crates to be a support class with the weakness that you cant use nothing more than the utilitygun

Well you see, this game often results in some players becoming extremely OP at some point, thanks to bonus crates. In this scenario there are one or two overpowered kids who do all the killing, while the other guys can only give very moderate support. This is when the game becomes boring, and some people will even quit because they see there is no point to play.

This is a good idea too. The game could become very interesting with different classes to play, maybe there could be 2, one support and one who does the fight with weapons.

Sorry for the troubles but some people managed to find out my special secret reserved for test allowing you to get bonus crates far more easily making them op as hell. This should be the main reason of your problem.

But I am still going to lower the chances of getting crates in next updates, because after all the items already in the map give you the necessary material to finish the entire level if you are skilled enought.

thats why i no longer played that mod for about 2 weeks you get op very fast in the early waves when suddenly a epic crate spawn and done you are OP
also some items on the bonus crates should be removed like the luck and leg rune since you can get them on the epic crates like the "demon rune,luck rune,supplybox" combo and the "legendary items" combo
This is a good idea too. The game could become very interesting with different classes to play, maybe there could be 2, one support and one who does the fight with weapons.
complex doom invasion with classes = my dream come true
