Improved spectate

• You can now spectate a specific player by clicking on that player with your mouse, in spectate mode.
• Alternatively you can right click the player and select "Spectate player"
• Spectating in "free-roam" mode (press Q while in spectate mode) moves faster and smoother than before
• Less lag when spectating
  

Sora, you read my mind! I have actually been planning to make a thread on this exact subject.


Also, I think that the 30-second rule for respawning is a good improvement, but not the best solution. Most players respawn out of cowardice, not simply because they spawned in a less-than-ideal location. In Crazy NA, it is very common to join a battle within 5-10 seconds of spawning and it can be difficult to get mass because more than 90% of players on that server respawn when they are about to lose (not an exaggeration). This is also common in Battle Royale servers.

I think that if a player respawns, his/her mass should not be deleted, but instead be left as dead mass, as if that player was frozen. There should also be a maximum mass at which a player can respawn. This would be to prevent players trolling a server by repeatedly farming mass and respawning and filling up the map with dead blobs. This limit could maybe be 110% of the standard starting mass.

I also agree with @xRENDEx that it can be frustrating not being able to respawn when really tiny. Having a mass limit rather than a time limit would solve this problem.


Thanks for the update!
